AVo have heard that some of oar lady
friend* seem to think that the city railway
oar* ar* too cold to ride in daring this sea
son. Os course the gallant managers of
thesa great accommodations will do any
thing reasonable tb'promoto tho comfort of
their numerous lady fares— and wo would
mention that in some of the cities of France
they have o simple device for keeping the
feet of passenger* warm. This is accom
plished by inserting an iron tube along the
bottom of tho oar lengthwise in the centre,
between the rows of seats. Thia tube is
raised a little above tho floor level of the
car to afford a rest for the feet, yet not
enough to make a stumbling block. When
the car leaves the depot this tube is filled
with hot water, from a boiler kept heatod
for the purpose, and this water retains its
heat and gives a pleasant warmth to the
feet of the passengers and the car generally
for about two hours, after which the tube is
refilled. It would be quite comfortable those
cold winter mornings and nights to enjoy
this convenience on our street ears.
The “Conservative” Uesolve*
At a large and enthusiastic meeting of
tho “Conservatives” of this city, held on
the evening of the 4th instant, Mr. A.
Itanse AVrigbt editor of the Chronicle <£•
Sentinel (Obstructionist), offered the follow
ing Resolution, which received only one
Black ball:
"Resolved, That from the past history and
exemplary character as a gentleman and
an officer of Major General GEORGE G.
MEADE, we believe that ho will, in the
discharge of the difficult duties which de
volve upon him as Military Commander of
District No. 3, so administer the laws which
he is sent to execute as to render fair play
and equal justice to all classes of our people;
and to that end we tender to him, in advance,
the assurance that, to the best of our ability,
we will sustain and support him in his new
and trying position.”
In his paper, yesterday morning, the
same Mr. AVright calls Gen. Meade a “mili
tary satrap.”

J. Frost.
Colder and colder grew the air,the night
before last ; keener and sharper grew the
wind. The heart of the thermometer sank
within it as the cold steadily increased.
From a respectable figure it sank to a mere
cypher, and made the acquaintance of zero,
who gave it a cold reception. J. Frost
arrived, was busy all night, and early in the
morning we espied on our windows the
marks of his artistic skill. On every pane
was a picture from his brush. On one was
a lofty palace, rising dome above dome,
sparkling and shining in the sunlight like
diamonds; on the next, a beautiful grotto,
from whose arched roof hung sparkling
stalactites, in all the beauty of nature’s irreg"
ularity; on the next, a tangle of ferns:
growing with a silvery luxuriance, fiora,
Arctic ; on another, seemed to be sketched
the outlines of the gubernatorial mansion at
Milledgeville, undergoing reconstruction.
On all had he shown his skill—some by
regular definable figures, others half finished,
as if tho sun, his great enemy, had surprised
him at his work ; others, like the poetico
political editorials of our Obstructionist
neighbor over the way, covered with “ glit'
tering generalities,” as if they had been
used for his pallette whereon he mixed his
colors.
Dun Cuetello’s .Great Combination
Show of Circus and Menagerie.
The great show ot the age is coming-
The Atlanta Intelligencer thus speaks of it:
“Punctual to time, the mammoth show
reached our city yesterday morning, and
preceded by its magnificent band ‘dis
coursing sweet music,’ the principal per
formers in the ‘ring,’ ladies and gentlemen,
splendidly attired and magnificently mount
ed, paraded over our principal streets, ad
mired by the thousands—grave and gay, old
and young—that gazed upon the brilliant
spectacle. Dan Gastello, in the circus and
show business, cannot he beat. He is
always welcome, for he is always at tho
head of the choicest and most popula?
company of equestriennes and equestrians
that can be found in America, while his
‘Egyptian Caravan’ is always wonderfully
attractive. AA r e have not yet been to the
great show, but expect to be there the first
opportunity, as almost everybody else does
in our city. We shall say more of it when
we see it.”
“Since writing the foregoing, we have
seen the great show. Under the largest
canvass we have ever seen spread, thousands,
last uight, as well as ourself, witnessed the
performance of Dan’s great equestrian com
pany, with immense satisfaction. AVhere all
did so well, we feel disinclined, at the late
hour especially in which we pen this brief
notice, to discriminate. Suffice it to say the
immense audieuce were delighted with the
performance throughout, which they mani
fested by the heartiest applause. Previous
to the circus performance, the magnificent
menagerie of wild animals and collection of
wild birds underwent the inspection of the
audience. All seemed interested and delight
ed with this part of the show. Wo havo never
seen as many persons present at any previ
ous circtiß performance in this city, as were
presont last night. Wo estimate the audi
ence at little, if any, less than five thousand.
Excellent order prevailed throughout the
whole performance. Years of-experience
have not been lost upon tho raoraiETon of
this groat show. 11c knows how to ‘run u
show’ if anybody does, and has a large
number of warm personal friends in the
.South, not a few of whom may be found in
this city.
“There will be a performance this after
noon at two o’clock, and ogain at night.
AVe doubt not that the immense canvass will
again have thousands under it on each
occasion.”

Chronic Cough and Threatened Con
sumption.
A married gentleman,aged thirty three, had
suffered from a cough for six months; to
such an extent as justly to excite the most
serious apprehensions on the part of his
friends. His cough was frequent, attended
with paiu in his side, shortness of breath,
loss of flesh, pale, Runken face, and at times
fever. All the remedies lie had tried had
not availed to meet his case, or even relieve
his cough. He took one box of Humph
reys’ Cough Pills No. 7 without experiencing
but moderate relief; and, on consulting
Prof. Humphreys, was advised to use the
fever pills in alternation with the Cough
Pills. He di'l so, taking three or four pills
per day, and found immediate relief, and in
three weeks considered himself entirely well,
having regained his strength and vigor, ana
being free from his cough. f

Houimputliic Insurance.
AVe see that a charter has been obtained
in New York, (or Homiaopathie Mutual Life
Insurance Company, the books of which will
be opened for subscription on the 27th of
this month at the Tenth National Bank.
The principal peculiarity of this new
enterprise is that the lives of those who
adopt the homoeopathic treatment of diseases
are insured at “judicially reduced rates” in
comparison with those who are treated in
the old manner. The gentlemen who are
engaged in getting up this company give, by
adopting this feature, a very decided proof
of their conviction that the homo#opathic
method is the safest and most efficacious.
It remains to he seen whether tho allopathic
school will get up a rival institution.
The capital stock of the company will be
two hundred thousand dollars. It is to bo
paid in cash and invested in State securities.
The stockholders are to receive seven per
cent, interest, payable in gold. The enter
prise is recommended in a circular by some
of our ablest homosopathic practitioners. *

From Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga., January 14.—The
army officers d«tail«d by General Meade,
a* Governor and Treasurer of Geor.
gia, left this morning fur Milledge
ville. It is reliably stated that there
arc no funds in the State Treasury—all
having been removed in view of the proba
bility of such a seizure.as the present.
An order dated the |olh appears, from
Governor Jenkins, suspending the collection
of all State taxes up to first of May next.
The old law authorized such suspension,
and the Convention, by a resolution adopted
in December Just, requested him to use his
power for that pnrpose. The effect of this
suspension will be to forbid any collection
of the tax imposed by the Convention for
payment of its expenses.
In the Convention to day a resolution
was introduced to draw $60,000 from the
State Treasury, for per diem pay, etc.; and
to recommend Congress to donate public
lands to the negroes, and thus give them
an opportunity to demonstrate any capacity
for self government they may have.
A resolution commendatory of Hancock
was indefinitely postponed by a vote of 123
to 13.
The following was adopted, after the loss
of a motion to postpone, by 64 to 44:
Resolved, Tiiat in the opinion of the Con
vention, it is unwise and inexpedient to
directly or indirectly interfere with the
legislation of the General Assembly,
authorizing the issue of bonds, for the pur
pose of paying the indebtedness of the
State.
A motion to add, “and we hereby recog
nize such bonds as binding on the State,”
could find no second, and was not acted on.
The article oil franchise was reported
gives negroes the right to hold office, and
disfranchises up to the first of January,
1869, all disfranchised by the fourteenth
amendment, and all unable to register under
the Reconstruction acts.

Banks with a circulating medium.
A bill was reported by the Appropriation
Committee tor the payment of claims on
account of seizures of, and damages to
vessels, cars, wagons, or for lands occupied
for fortifications South, during the war. Laid
over.
The Reconstruction Committee’s bill was
resumed and discussed.
The Speaker road a communication from
Grant, covering the following from Meade :
“Unless the pending bill in Congress,
directing the military to fill the offices in
their Departments, rescinds the test oath in
the provision to select qualified voters, I am
informed that its execution in this Depart
ment will be entirely impracticable.”

Washington Items.
Washington, Jan. 14.—Certified copies
of the Senate’s action regarding Stanton's
suspension, were furnished the President,
Grant, and Stanton last night.
Grant and Stanton had a Conference late
last night, and met again, this morning, at
the War Office. Grant left the office after
ward, and Stanton remained. Stanton re
ceived calls from various officers of the
Department, bnt up to noon had not form
ally commenced business. Up to noon,
tho President, lmd taken no action in tho
premises.
Snow falling heavily.
Stanton issued an order this afternoon,
informing the employees of the War office
that he had again taken possession of the
portfolio of the War office. Stanton drew
nearly three thousand dollars from the pay
officer, being his salary during his suspen
sion.
Gen. Pope has been assigned to the De
partment ol the Lakes—headquarters at
Detroit.
It is understood that the President in no
way recognizes Stanton. It is confidently
stated that charges of insubordination hang
over Gen. Grant. Nothing definite is known,
but the feeling is quite feverish.

[From the Circular ot Wm. Bryce & Cos.
New York Cotton Iteview.
New York, January 10, 1868.
General Remarks. —The action of tho Senate
on the Cotton Tax has been the chief event of
tho week; and alter an unusual display of
ignorance on the subject under consideration,
•fc was decided to repeal the tax on all Cotton
grown in 1868, and that the »ax should be con
tinued on the crop of 1860. It was further
decided that the import duty on foreign Cottons
should be repealed for the period American
Cotton paid no Internal Revenue tax, in order
that Surats should be imported for the bonefit
of our bag manufacturers. Tho House
referred the action of tho Senate to the
Committee of Ways and Means, and the
finality of the Congressional action on this
important subject is as distant as over. Mean
while tho planters are in doubt about preparing
their lands for a crop, not knowing if the present
confiscation of 25 per cent, of the product of
their industry is to continue or not. Accounts
from the Cotton States are most gloomy; en
gagements of labor arc few, and there is a uni
versal cry that no cotton will be made this year.
In a previous circular we pointed out tho fillaoy
of believing in no crop, and tho certainty of
there being a considerable reduction from the
yield of 1861. To those farmers who have the
means to plant, tho present year promises to bo
a very profitable one; but there are vast estates
which will make no crop, let the prospect boas
flattering as may be. Many planters find them
selves hopelessly insolvent, and capital to plant
another crop after the experiences of tho past
two years will not be obtainable. Various
schemes havo been suggested for government aid
to plant the crop, but havo thus far absolutely
failed, and to oxpect auy such assistance seems
beyond tnc limits of possibility. In the presont
condition of the South foreign capital cannot bo
induced to invest, and the only course left is to
plant cotton as a surplus crop. The past two
years havo demonstrated beyond cavil that
ignorant free labor cannot raiso cotton at ten
cents currency and buy corn.
Capital continues to'watch cotton with careful
eyes, and large investments are ready to be made
as soon as bottom is fairly touched. But the
opinion is general that thero will be no free
speculative movement until the end of the free
receipts and a brighter look visiblo in the market
for manufactured goods. The mills are now
running in a majority of cases full time at re
duced wages, and the stocks of goods arc accu
mulating. The prospects of any early improve
ment in our domestic market are far from bright
—the South will not be able to buy any amount
of goods this Spring, and although the West is
obtaining full prices for her grain and hogs no
large quantities of goods are expected to bo
moved in that direction, iu face of tbo heavy
failures which are occurring in the leading cities.
In sac. thero is a sort of paralysis in the goods
trade, and lack of confidence is doily increasing
in all its branches. This feeling is not attribut
able alone to tho heavy losses experienced in
1867, but in part to the financial fever which the
currency has provoked, and which bids fair to
increase rather than diminish.
Tho most favorable news during the week is
the approximation in price of spot cotton and
cotton to arrive in Liverpool, tho latest quota
tions showing only a farthing difference. This
shows a shade better feeling as regards their
market than has been visible for some time pass,
and little talk is heard about Middling Uplandt
