Into onr street cars, especially those on the avenue, come men and boys whom it is not only disagreeable but positive perilous Io sit by—animated masses of rags, giving out foul and sickening odors. The street sar, *lis true, is the poor man’s carriage,” but it is extrav agance in the poor man to use it when he can well walk, llow men, ragged as Neapolitan lazzaroni, can afford frequent indulgence of the kind is to me a profound and baffling mystery. I have known great, hulking, lazy boys, with rags fluttering in every wind like signals of distress, lake a street carifor a lilt of three or four blocks. Colored youths of this sort show a manly jealousy of their rights under the fifteenth amendment, and seldom are known to offer a seat to a woman, wheth er she be a dellicat- white girl or a feeble old colored ‘•aunty.” i hope I need not say that I am glad that colored people can ride the cars, but it does seem to me they are overdoing the thing in this city. Wc hardly have a fair chance. They have so taken pos- of that popular vehicle that wc think of petitioning the magnificent corporation of the Georgetown and Navy Yard Street rail** way to furnish a set of new and elegant cars, aud put new straw in them and colored con ductors on them, and st t them apart for onr colored citizens, leaving to us the present old dilapidated concerns, unchanged except that they shey shall be plainly lettered: 11 While people allowed to ride in these cars. 1 * The illoUter-ln-Law’s Origin. * %. A writer in Appletons* Journal says:— "Mothers-iu-law belong to an advanced civ ilization. They came in as a solid institu tion with Christianity, for it must bo ac knowledged that, however highly cultured were the Greeks and Romans, they justified a great deal of irregulatity in their family arrangements; and the mother-in-law was not fully inaugurated till the chnrch took the matter in hand, and begun to keep regis ters and hold men to their contracts; and old barons were brought sharply round in their doings, and finally taught to see it was tor their iuterest to establish orderly, legiti mate, and Christian families; and thus, when a man married, he could not break awAy from the surroundings of Ins wife and him self. He could not be absolute and she noth** ing as with the savages. Thus it will be seen that the church and the law have grad ually created this respectable nuisance, the mother.in-law. She is one of the links that held society together She proves that a man might have hud a grand-father. She t-pderfes the enjir? respectability of existing rcl$;opS/ M Atlanta, February 23, 1874., Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In your J issue of the 25th ult. there appeared a letter from an Atlanta correspondent over the sig nature of "Granger,” in which an invidious attack was made upon myself that seems Io demand some notice at my handt^ What motive could have prompted the at tack I am at a loss to understand. I» is the universal opinion of fair-minded men, howev er, that when a person hides himself behiud false name, and shoots in the dark, he is moved to do so by feelings which he wonld not be willing to avow. I am glad to say that it is the first time in the history of Georgia, so far as my informa tion «x4cnds, that a member of t he Legisla ture has sought, by an anonymous assault, to destroy the usefulness and impair the standing of another member from the same county and of the same political faitf&aS himself. ^ * •Granger” states that it is understood that I was advocating the dismemberment and sale of the Macou and Brunswick rail road. This is a mistake. Much has been said as to the best cause to pursue with rc-* gard to this road, aud many suggestions have been made, both in and out of the Leg islature Among others, I have talked freely about the matter, and on one or more occa sions I have asked what would be the effect of selling the road in sections. This was a mere suggestion, however, and was designed to elicit the opinious from time to time with out once supposing, 1 imagine, that they were to be classed as enemies of thejroad or set down as hostile to its extension. It is by informal suggestions and enqui ries, and by questions and cross-quest ions in their rooms aud on the streets that members elicit the views of each other, and arrive at final conclusions. I certainly did not suppose that a simple enquiry ou my part would be construed into a deliberate expres sion of hostility to the road. And now as to the bond bill, "Graugei*' seems to be afraid that the people of Georgia will give me loo much credit foriheparLl performed in preparing and carry iug through the measure that has so signally relieved our State from financial embarrassment. But what is the history of the bill ? Early io the session of 1873i Judge McCay called at my room and reud a letter from bis brother, Professor 0. F. McCay, of Balli-* more, formerly a resident of this Slate, in which he expressed the deep interest he felt io the welfare of our people, and stated that he had prepared and sent out a bill which he desired should be shown to such parties as were likely to influence onr financial poli cy. I asked Judge McCay to let me see the bill He replied "that he had handed it”— to whom, Messrs. Editors, do you suppose? Why. to "Grangers” himself. More than one application was made to him for it, and several days elapsed before I obtained the bill. When he finally placed it in my hands be expressed no opinion as to its merits, though I am informed that, after the bill had been prepared and passed by the House, he stated to a member of the Finance Committee that he should support it when it came np in the 8enate, but that he had no confidence in its favorable results. He saw no merit in the measure theu, but now that it has proved an eminent success, he is un willing that his own colleague and fellow- towusman should share, in however small a degree, the credit of the performance. The moment the bill was examined by me I was satisfied that it possessed some merit, and I am frank to say that it constituted a portion of the groundwork of the one that finally passed. It is also proper to state that I conferred freely with a number of leading men, and received valuable suggestions from many of them which were worked Into the bill. Among those to whom 1 was most Indebted were Governor Smith, Treasurer Jones, Henry D McDaniel and other members of the Finance Committee. Jolm P. King, Wm; Hope Hull, Wm. B. Johnston, Gen. Wm. S. Holt, and many others. Iu other words, the bill, as l laid it before the Finance Commit tee, embodied many of the provisions con tained in Prof. McCay’s draft, aud such ad ditions of my own, and suggestions of others, as met my approval. The materials thus fur nished by others and contributed by myself were carefully considered, and at last fash ioned into the shape and form in which it reached the House, Such, to the best of my recollection, is the history of ..this bill, and snch, in substance, 1 presume, is the history of ucarly all other successful financial meas ures. I claim no credit for the part I took. If others see proper to commend the measure it is their business, not mine The State was in great financial_ straits, and the best and wisest men were in doubt as Jo the beat course to pursue. If in trying to blaze out the way I rendered the Stale any service, it was simply my duty to do what f could to extricate her from the quagmire in which others had placed her. And uow one word to my constituents of Bibb county .* For several years T’^iave walked in aud-out before them; lbgyknow what manner of man I am at home, l.ut-fts to uijr stewardship here, they must depend upon others and the record fur inform-ition. My acts and doings an a member of the Legisla ture are of record, aud by them 1 am willing to be judged. I have tried to serve my coiun- ty and State faithfully, and to avoid giving or receiving offense. If I hare fallen snort- of my duly, as I doubtless have on many oc casions, it was an "error of the head, and not of the heart.” Indeed. I "have postponed making any reply to my assailant until near the end of the session in order that our use fulness here might not he impaired to the injury of our condiments. If 1 speak now it is only because I feci it io be a duty to myself and friends to repel what others, as well as myself, consider a gratuitous assault. C. A. Nutting. I.filer Fr«a Leg** FMleieile. [ Unavoidably crowded out last week ] Macon, March 3d, 1874. GRAND LOTTERY FOR Kiss.—Martin Twenty Dollars fob Reske was accused this morning at thc ; l^o- licc Court of kissing Mrs. Lizzie Janeke. It appears from the evidence given, that last Friday a strange man came to Mrs. Janeke’s house, and inquired if she had "rooms lo let 3” she replied she had, and lie requested permission to see them. After the rooms were visited they returned to the parlor. The well built form and handsome fuce of ?.Irs. Janko attracted the attention of Hie stranger, and when a favorable opportunity presented itself, he placed his arms around her neck, squeezed, and kissed her. She screamed loudly for assistance, and the stranger leit, aud she was unable to find out his nsm**. Last Sunday, while at church, she noticed the person who kissed her She informed her hiHbtml, and he called the man into a ueigh bor’s house. When accused of the act, he confessed that he did do so ; lie "meant no harm; she was so pretty he could not help it, and he would like to give her another.” The Jndgo thought there was too much freedom shown, and Reske was fined y20 and costs.— Milwaukee, Wisconsin.'^Ftbruu rg 28th. At that price all the pretty women in the West could get a kiss down this way. if we j A CHAPTER CF BLCOD—ONE MAN 3UOOT3 TWO OTHERS AUD HIMS ELI ! There occurred to-day oue of the bloodiest and most awful affrays ever recorded in the annals of this blood stained city. At about 11 o’clock Unu morning, Dr Cro well W. Johnson, George F. Able and John J Cherry were in a small room in the lear and attached lo the bar room proper of Van nucki, on Cotton Aveuue. Able and Cherry were playing a game of cards, at which the former got beat. This appears to have j aroused his auger, when a quarrel ensued be., tween Able and Cherry, soou followed by Able dealing ('berry a blow with his fist, knocking him down. A second lick was given, with like result, l>r. Johnson <b*w iuterferred and endeaved to stop the fight.— Whereupon Able drew a large sized navy re volver, took (Kdibcrafe aim at Johusou’s heart and pulled tbo trigger The bullet struck a heavy horn button under the left lappel of the coat, immediately covering his heart, shattered it and glanced'off. A piece of the coat as large as tho' paint"of a hand was torn off and a black spot the size of a silver dollar left on his side. The force of the bullet near* ly knocked him down. Suppd3hig* that the Doctor was killed, he then reeocked the pis tol, potato 1 it at young Cherry and shot him through the bowels.

Losing his situation.in consequence of the dullness of tho times, he is §aiJ to have grown moody and despondeut and drank freely to alleviate his feelings. There ate also a number of reports of his having iu- timated an intention of taking . his own life unless be could get some kind of employ ment. John Cherry bad not yct reached twenty— indeed did not look eighteen--and 'al though restrained by good parents, was in the habit of drinking occasionally, which of ooarse led him into vile associations. As deeply as this city is crimsoned with blood, this awful tragedy produced a shock felt from one end to the other, Men met each other in the streets aud asked, "Whose time will It be to be murdered next? Per haps it will be mine.” "We have plenty of law to stop all of this butchery, but they are not enforced.” Aud then they would disa gree about whose fault it was. but all per* fectly agreed that uo oue could be hung here, no mutier how enoimous the crime—-no mat ter who was ihe Judge, who the Solicitor.

Some eight or ten days ago a negro woman liviug in the suburban village ofb’andlown, by the ntimo of Lbe? Williams, discovered lhaLher.daughter, Eliza, was fur gone in pregnancy.

A planter from Jefferson county was at the Brown House Ibis morniug witb a sample of fully developed uupicked lint cotton which banged out everything yet shown, at least in the price of Ihe seed.

VT • . v**-/ '■ THE LABORERS ARE PLENTIFUL, BUT THE HAB- YL3T IS A FAILURE. By thus rendering the language of Ihe Good Book, you have an idea of the situation of Middle Georgia. The population of this city is scarcely anything'but one grand band of iu and out door loafers auil idlers. Trade is more staguaut than at any time since litis was a town, save during the years of the war. It is net because our atcFoitanifi and iqecjtan- ics are not willing to labor and dq all manner of work, but for the reason that they have uolhing to do. And the worst of all, we bane not yet entered upon a summer which, iq all human probability, will be more lifeless than ho present lime. We cxuuot f*»r qrnch improvement until anqthey crop is harvested and brought to market—now a]} of eight long months off. The.misferttme of oqr country is, that we have too many drivers and not enough horses. We have too utapy men ing for other people [d 4o iftelf work for thorn. When the gtnperor Adrian was oqr morn ing going to fils bath, he saw one of bis oi»l and faithful soldiers leaning ogaiqst a post and scratching his back. “Why don’t you get your servant .to do that for you V “Be cause 1 have none.” lie sent him both ser-r ants and money. The n?*6 day whilst ta king the same walk, he saw ail the idlers in j Luwu leaning up against posts aud trying to scratch themselves. “Since there are so many of you, I think you hod better scratch oue another.” Instead of these idle men around our eittes know anything of the metal and teropet our youug men,—to say nothing of the married fellows. ( - and villages wait ing for the planters to scratch : for them, they had better go to work scratch- iug for them-elvss. I Logan Fontenilu Mode of Drawing: There will lie upon tbestage two glam wb Ms the contents of which can be sceu by all the ^spectator*.— A committee of t wo.citizens, in no way connected with the management, an J of undoubted iiitet;rR lAaving find counted aud examiudd, wi!I place in * IJiarger wheel 12,600 tickets exactly alike, and having printed 'numbers frum one to 12,600. corresponding tu all the tickets sold. A similar committee having fait count ed and examined, vil! place in tubes precisely alike the prizes which nr5 placed In tlx: smallerlwhetd.— Both wheels will then l>e turned until their content* are thoroughly mixed. A boy under fifteci years, blindfolded, will then draw front the larger wheel one of the 12,6u0 tickets, and holding it up in full view- of the spectators and auditors, its number will Le called by the crier appoiuted for this purpose, so that all present may hear. This number will then le passed to the committee of citizens, who will say wl* t her the number has been rightly called. It will theta be pass ed to a registrar, who will file it and record li. upon a l»ook prepared for that purpose. A boy of s&uilar age will then draw from the .smaller wheci oue of the tube* containing a prize, which will Itc opened and. held up to the view of the spectators and auditors. He value of the real estate prize will tlieu be called, ant passed t© the committee, who, after Inspection, will give it to another registrar to file and record. The prize thus drawu will beloug to the ticket hearing the lumber drawn immedlately before it. Thus this process will continue, drawing first from the large wheel contain ing the tickets, and then from the small or pria- wheel u ntil all the tubes containing the prizes are drawn An accurate record of the above will be kept on file certified to by the committee of disinterested citizen* officiating. j ne Prizes below three hundred dollars in value are approximations, and will be determined and pi.id a* follows: The number* of all ihe ticket* sold being considered in a cirfle, numerically termed, and having the highest number, 12,600, and the lowest 1, brought together, then whatever number in this circle imy be by lot determined to be entitled to the capital prize of £25,000 will be taken as a centre, on each side of who'll tbe next three hundred uiuuh*rs in numerical order will be counted for the too dollar prizes, thus nrAiiy on the two side* of the capital the six hundred near est qumbers, e^cii of which will be entitled to a real estate prize of ten dollars. All the ticket* drawing larger prize* will be excluded, and the circle extended to include six hundred oi. both sides of tlie capital, being three hundred on each side, it being the purpose of the management not to duplicate prizes.
