Wo take the liberty of urging upon our City Fathers the propriety of adopting an Ordinance, making the circulation of inde cent circular* and allykiada of Obeceno publications punishabla by fine or impris onment, or both. True, there is a State law upon the subject, but we think that recent events in this community call loudly for a municipal ordinance relative to the distribution of offensive reading matter. Let such a law be enacted by the City Council. “ TklUfkM for ik* Time*.” The following beautiful and “respecta ble" sentences are transcribed from the last in the series of articles which grace the columns of the Augusta Constitutionalist, from the pathetic pen of “Alims" : “Great God 1 will you take niggors for Voters, for jurors, for legislators—niggers for your sons-in-law, negrcsscs for your daughters-in.law, and mulattoes for your heirs and posterity ? * * * % * “Fellow whites, shall this country be governed by the whites or niggers ? Shall it be the home of whites of full blood, or a sink ot mongrels!" 4 ♦ + * * In connection with these elegant ex tracts, it becomes our pleasing duty to state that a decided improvement appears to have taken place recently in the minds of our Conservative-Democratic friends relative to the “miscegenation'* business. Formerly—and not a great while ago, either—there was no particular odium at tached to its unlimited practice. (Wit ness the numerous specimens of bleached Africans of this and other South ern cities.) This was, in a great meas ure, the work of the Democracy, now called “white man's party.” They did it, too, outside of the pale of the law, human or divine, if we except some hon orable instances—as, for example, that of a former Vice President of the United States, and a life-long Democrat. The fact, there fore, of the appearance of such articles as “Albas” is contributing—on thsjpoesi bility of regular marriages between persons of different color—is worthy of especial note, in so much as it betokens that the time-honored Demoorntic practice of mis cegenation has already, since the overthrow of slavery, fallen so much into disuse that even the idea of a bona fide marriage between persons of the two races is looked upon with disgast; from which wo infer that the hundred of thousands of cases of illegitimate intercourse formerly prevailing among the political friends of the Consti tutionalist would now be denounced as the height, or rather depth, of barbarism, by our indignant, venerable and virtuous cotemporary, Suddeu Death. Mrs. Fiank, living in the vicinity of Mayfield, died very suddenly one day last week. The lady and a servant were white washing a room, and the servant being obliged to step out for a Few moments, on her return found Mrs. F. lying dead upon the floor. The deceased, at the time of her death, was, apparently, in perfect health. —»♦ « A Cieorfriun Killed iu Texas. A private dispatch to a gentleman in Atlanta from Houston, Texas, reads as fol lows : “Rough Harrison was murdered by J. H. Patriek at one o’clock to day. Com municate the intelligence to his family.” The Intelligencer is informed-that the Har rison referred to was raised in the vicinity of Athens, and is very respectably con nected there. The other party, J. H. Pat rick, we learn, was raised about Carnes ville, in Franklin county. We give pub licity to the information for the benefit of all concerned. Color*. There are many little arts which may be used about colored clothes when washing them, which tend to keep a look of new ness as long as they arc worn. These are some of them: A spoonful of ox gall to a gallon of water will set the colors of almost any goods soaked in it previously to wash ing. A tea cup of lye in a pail ot water will improve the color of black goods. Nankeen should lay in lye before being washed; it sets the color. A strong clean tea of common hay will preserve the color of French linens. Vinegar in the rinsing water, for green or pink calicoes, will brighten them. Soda answers the same end for both purple and blue. Insurance. A few days ago an agent of an acciden tal insurance company entered a smoking car on a certain railroad train, and ap proaching an exceedingly gruff old man, asked him if he did not want to “ take out a policy.” He was told to get out with his policy, and passed on. After riding abont half an hour, an accident occurred to the train, and the smoking car ran over the sleepers, causing much consternation among the passengers. The eld man jumped up, and seizing a hook at the side of the car to steady himself, called out, “ Where is that insurance man ?" The question caused a roar of laughter among the passengers, who for the time forgot their danger. _ . • Spring Wheat. From several quarters of our State and Tennessee wc hear of the partial destruc tion of the wheat crop by tlie severe frost*, And in fact we may look upon the prospect as one which promises not a fifth of a crop. In this emergency, when breadstuff*'are seriously needed, we Would recommend that spring wheat be culti vated as extensively as possible. As the supply will be generally exhausted by harvest, and should the corn crop fail, we will be in danger of famine prices. Spring wheat is not twqnty-five per cent, as valu» able a crop as winter, but still the wheat makes good flour, and the crop will pay if sown early, by drill and harrowing after good plowing. If the farmers will take every advantage that presents itself, and get the seed in early, it may be that a very good crop of wheat will yet ho raised. v* Off Willi iftlHMf On Saturday a bill was introduced in the Senate to abolish tbe office of Adjutant General of the Army. This is intended to displace General Thomas, lately nomi nated by the President as Secretary of War ad interim. Bank Hellef. The Savannah Advertiser thanks Hon. C. H. Hopkins for a special dispatoh an nouncing that the Convention had pasted the bill relieving bank officers and stock holders, by a vote of 105 to 7. ....-n- lleaulifal. When the Breton mariner puts to sea, his prayer is, "Keep me, my God! my boat it to mall, and thy ocean it to wide /” Does not this beautiful prayer truly express the condition of each of us ? The Wilmington Sc Manchester Hall read In the Hand* of n Receiver. The Wilmington Journal of the 2d says: “ Under a writ of sequestration from tho Clerk and Master in Equity for New Han over county, Sheriff Buuting, yesterday seized the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad and placed it iu the hands of Mr 1 George G. Hull, the duly appointed Receiver. Tho latter has now assumed possession of the road, including its real and personal property, rights and franchises. Agents and others acting in this capacity are notified that all balances which may accrue iu their hands from the sale of tickets or otherwise, on and after March Ist, must be paid to the Receiver. This change does not interfere with the regular operations of the road.” Musk*. A correspondent of the Farmer's Ad vertiser, writing on the value of corn husks, says that it has been discovered in Austria that 60 per cent, of the weight of corn husks are of value in the arts. They obtain from every 100 lba of husks, 20 lbs of excellent varieties of paper, 25 lbs of long fibre, suitable for spinning and weav ing into a cloth of great strength and ca pacity for resisting all tendency to decom position, and 15 lbs of a farinaceous sub stance, which by itself, or added to wheat flour, makes an excellent bread, that will keep sweet and good for months. Husks are now very valuable to tho upholsterer, for the manufacture of mattrasees. To prepare them for market it is only neces sary to split them once or twice and bale. In futnre, when husking corn, farmers should be exceedingly careful of the husks, which now form a very valuable part of the crop. Bankrupin. It may not be generally known that the time is limited within which parties will be able to avail themselves of the full benefits which may now be obtained under the ope ration of the Bankrupt law. In the 33d section of the act, it is provided “that in all proceedings in bankruptcy commenced after one year from the time this act shall go into operation, no discharge shall bo grant ed to a debtor whose assets do not pay fifty per centum of the claims against his estate, unless the assent in writing of a majority in number and value of his credi tors who have proved their claims, is filed in the case at or before tho time of appli cation for discharge.” Tho Bankrupt act went into effect June 1, 1867. But it should he remembered that a case in bank ruptcy is generally a tedious affair, and consumes from one to four months. Those who design entering this happy state, should remember that delays are dangerous. It is comparatively easy to become a bank rupt now ; but the restrictions will be soon in force, and those who meditate bank ruptcy should he up and doing.

Atlanta, March s.— The Convention resolved to-day to adjourn on the 11th instant. Fifteen thousand dol'ars were disbur*fiA'to tho member* tills evening, making,forty thousand in all, reoeived by the Convention so far. The report of the Educational Commit tee was debated, pending which, the Con vention adjourned. NOETH CAROLINA. Raleigh, March 4.—The Convention, last night, adoptod the Relief Ordinanoe, Its leading feature allows debtors to pay one-tenth annually on their debts. VIRGINIA. Richmond, March 4. — The Convention’s resolutions approving impeachment was adopted—ss to 33. A caucus of Republicans is to be held to-night to consider disfranchisement. SOUTH CAROLINA. CharleoTON, March 4.—ln Convention, to-day, an ordinance was presented appro priating the Citadel—formerly the State Military Academy —for a College and Gram mar aud Primary Schools. A section making education compulsory, passed. After an animated debate on a propo sition imposing a poll tax of one dollar for educational purposes, it was agreed that for non-paymeut, shall not be deprivation of right of suffrage. Congressional. Washington, March, 4.— Senate.— The Chair submitted a communication from Chase. Referred to Special Committee. A* resolution erecting a warehouse at Fortress Monroe. ; Referred to the Military Committee. The Sergeant-at Arms announced tho impeachment managers. The managers approached the bar, and the accompanying members -arranged _ themselves round the back seats. Colfax was seated by Wade. Bingham read the articles. Butler’s, which quotes largely from the President’s most stinging speeches, caused sensation. The Chair said the Senate will take action, and the managers retired. The resolution admitting to the gal laries by tickets was postponed. A committee of throe Senators was ap pointed to notify the Chief Justice, and conduct him to the Vice President’s scat to-morrow, at one o’clock. Several votes indicated a determination on the part of the Senate to adhere to its rule, notwithstanding Chase’s letter. Ad journed. House. —lmmediately after the meeting Mr. Jenks proceeded to urge his article declaring that impeachment would he in complete without charging the criminal in tent. The previous question failed of record, aud the article was lost. The House then went into Committee of the Whole, to proceed with the managers to the Senate to present articles. •The Dom acratic members remained in their seats, whilst others formed a procession and pa raded t 6 Ilia Seuate Chamber. Afty their return, the Tennessee contested election case was taken up, but postponed. Gen. Grant was directed to report the number of votes cast for and against the Alabama Constitution. The Military Committee reported a bill for the protection of soldiers and sailors against claim agents. Adjourned. From Washington. Washington, March 4.—The Chronicle supports the Mississippi levee agents’ ap plication for the Yazoo basin appropria tion. Two more impeachment articles are pending. The bill authorizing the Secretary of War to employ counsel to defend the re construction officers, will become a law by tlie lapse of ten days. Chase writes to the Senate, expressing, in mild and somewhat indirect terms, his non-concurrence with some of the prelimi nary proceedings—holding that when the Senate sits for an impeachment trial, it sits unquestionably as a Court. The Sen ate must necessarily receive notice of an intention to impeach from the House; but the organization of the Senate into a Court should precede the actual announcement of impeachment on the part of the House, and articles of impeachment should only be presented to the Court ot Impeachment No summons or other process should issue except from the organized Court, and rules for government of the proceedings of the Court should be formed only by the Court itself. .Chase finds himself unable to come to any other conclusions than the above, but adds: “I am informed that the Senate lias proceeded upon other views, and it is hot my purpose to contest' what its superior wisdom may have directed.” Tiie Supreme Court is still engaged in the McArdlc case. Revenue to-day, $1,054,000. Gold in the Treasury, $100,250,000, Wade presided to-day during tho entire proceedings. This probably settles the question whether he will vote on the final issue. Farnsworth telegraph bill contains 15 sections, mostly devoted to tile protection of the public against fraud and injustice from telegraph companies, agents, and officers. Punishment severe. The President recognized Jean Baptiste Lawson, Consul of Franco, at Richmond; Adolphus Boder, Consul of Austria, at New Orleans; Alexia Robert, Cousul of Ponti fical States, at New Orleans ; Carlos Ilein sius, Vice-Consul of Argentine Republic, at Savannah, Ga., and for its depeudonoies< Darien, Brunswick, and St. Marys. ♦ Election.
