Club*. The best kind of Clubs for the South that we know are Farmer’s Clubs, and we hope soon to see them formed in every county.

Mr. Seward was corn on the 16th of May, 1801, and is said to possess nil the fire and vim of ». youth of twenty. Devlllc-ifcb. An exchange, says that the recent, mar riage, at Buffalo, N. ¥., of Mr. Deville and Miss Damm, has resulted, after a week’s honeymoon, in the Deville's departure with $350 belonging to his bride, who is left dis consolate, and spends her time in repeating her maiden name. —• Slranve, Isn’t 111 Every day we have it demostrated that it is only Republican niggers that Democrats dislike.

The Charleston News reports that about 1 o’clock on Sunday last, Shadrack Ben ford, a well known colored resident of that city, was instantly killed by falling down the stairway of his house, No. 118 Coming street, and having his neck broken. The deceased was in the act of leaving the cham ber of a sick wife. Lamp Uhiinuoya Often crack by being fastened on too tightly. The screw being applied while the chimney is cold, and often so tightly as to prevent the glass moving at all. Os course, when the chimney is heated, there is no room lor them to expand, and consequently they must break or crack. Always see that the glass is secure, and at the same time moves easy in the holder. _ Another Mutlyr to Principle. We learn from (he Abbeville (S. C.) Press of the 9th instant, that James Martin, familiarly known in that region as “Sneak Martin,” a member of tho Legislature, was cowardly and basely assassinated on Monday week, about four miles from that village, by three unknown men, who robbed him of his pocket-bool; and pistols. ♦ The American Stock Journal.

The »»Orphan’* Home” Lottery Gone r s : We are gratified to learn that Governor Bullock has signed the Lottery Bill, re cently passed by the Legislature. It is, therefore, law, and we presume will go into immediate effect- This will prove a very great relief to a certain class of our people who, for about two years past, have given the most of their scanty earnings for the enrichment of the lazy sharpers who have managed the palpable swindle. We learn, further, that, in order to prolong their ex clusive right to obtain money under false pretence, the rascally fellows actually at tempted to steal the Bill from the Clerk’s office after it had passed the two Houses ’ l.ale.i style Hat* au<t Rennets. Mrs. Pughe, 190 Broad street, has just received an assortment of lists and Bonnets, including the “ Grecian Bend.” Hon. Howell Cobb. We learn that the mortal remains of the late Hon. Howell Cobb—whose sudden death, in New York, was reported in our dispatches on Saturday—will be interred to day at Athens, in this Slate. Mr Cobh was born at Cherry Hill, in Jeffersm county, Georgia, September 7, 1815. When u child, his father removed to Athens, Georgia, where he has since resided, until the close of the war, when he removed to the city of Macon, ilu graduated at Franklin College hi 1834; he studied law, and was admitted to the Bar in 183 G ; was a Presidential Elector in that year; in 1837, he received the appointment of Solicitor General of tho Western Circuit, which he held four years ; and he was elected a Representative in Congress in 1842, having been reflected in 1844, 1846, and 1848, and during his latter term he was elected Speaker. Ou his retirement from Congress, he was chosen Governor of Georgia; in 1855 he was again elected to Congress ; and on the acces sion of Mr. Buchanan to the Presidency, Governor Cobb went into his Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury. He look a promi nent part in the rebellion of 1861, and was a member of the so-called Confederate Con gress, and a Brigadier General. Personally, Mr. Coin possessed an easy, gentlemanly address, which secured him a host of friends. Ilis course during and since the war is too well known to call for remark from us. Legal Holes of the Hoad. We find the following rules for the guidance of railroad travellers, in an ex change, which says they are founded on legal deeeisions: “ The courts have decided that passen gers ou railroads, can be ejected from the cars if they do not offer the exact amount. Conductors are not bound to make the change. “ All railroad tickets arc good till used ; conditions— ‘ good for this day only,’ or other limiting time of genuineness, are of no account. “Passengers who lose their tickets can be ejected from the cars unless they purchase others. “ Passengers uro bound to observe de corum in the cats, and obliged to comply with all reasonable demands to show their tickets. “Standing on the platform or otherwise ■ violating the rules of the company renders a person liable to be put off the train. “No person has a right to monopolize moi* seats than he pays for; and any article left in the seat while the owner is tempo rarily absent, entitles him to his seat on his return.” PriikMla Bcnriiiß Liberal TesHmoiijr. The Medical College of Breslau, Prussia, by command of the Government, instituted enquiries in regard to the purity of Dr. Rad way’s Pills. The following is a copy of the report, after a thorough analysis, signed by Professors of the College : Report of an Analysis of Redway's Regu lating Pills, Instituted lor the satisfaction of the Prussian Government and people. It ap pears that the great popularity of the Pilis throughout Germany, as an aperient, anti billions and alterative medicine, had pro voked the malice of the apothecaries, who caused a report to be circulated that the ingredients were poisonous. Therefore a scientific inquisition into their nature and properties was ordered, the issues of which was a most triumphant vindication of the sanitary value of the Pills. The Faculty of tho College state in their report that after a careful and minute ex amination, they have the honor to state that “ the Pilis are not only free from every sub stance injurious to health, but are composed wholly of substances and elements promotive of digestion, and certain at the same time to act favorably upon the nervous system,” etc., etc. They state, further, that the inju rious rumors set afloat by the Prussian apothecaries originated “in a mean spirit of trade jealousy, excited by the great celebrity attained by the Pills within a very brief period.’’ Signed in behalf of the College.

He was a constant visitor at the house of three ladies, not over burdened with money or blood, but the youngest of whom was possessed of beauty and skill in retort. Every one said it would be a match ; but years rolled away, and the decisive words were not spoken, though other suitors were warned off by significant hints from the formidable but uudeuided Mr. Blake. One evening he called in, returning from the fair of Castlebar, and he found the ladies were having a few friends in an im promptu dance. There were some officers lately arrived from India, whose regiment was at Castlebar, and a certain Capt.. Gra ham and Mr. Blake's lady, ns she was gem erally styled, fast locked in that half cm brace the sehottische permits. The Captain was an adept nt “houlding up,” which Irish and a great many other ladies consider a partner's bounded duty. Blake's idea of waltzing was Hs prejudiced as Byron’s ; and he had an ugly scowl on his brow that would have frightened many men, as the lady passed him with a slight nod ; however, the Captain only pressed his partner the doser. “I am sure you willlikp die captain, for dear Mabel’s sake ; and we rely on you to make it pleasant for him while here,” said the eldest sister. Mr. Blake was standing with his back to the fire, and drawing from his jxickct a small branding iron, used for putting initials on the horns of cattle, by the pur chaser, he gave the turf a quiet poke, and left the lettered end in the hot ashes “ Your honor’s lost her,” whispered Pat Casey, the old servant of the house, as he handed negus round ; “ the captain’s less tadious than your honor in love making.” “ Well, Blake, you’re done,” said Mr. Browne. “ Waited too long, my boy ; and the captain there will carry off the finest girl in Mayo.” - “By heaven, then, he shall find my mark on her !” cried Blake; and, as the waltzers passed, he drew the brand from the fire aud clapped the red-hot letters on the shoulders of Miss Mabel, just above the low dress. Os course there was a deal of screaming and fuss, but the Indy recovered sufficiently to become Mrs. Blake, and I hear, never regretted the event which st last compelled her lover to speak his mind. A friend of mine told me, some time sinee, that be had been staying with the Blakes, and he could aver that Mrs. Blake still wore high dresses on all occasions.

Sic. 1. The General Assembly of the State of Georgia enacts. That in all suits which shall be brought for the recovery of debts in any of tho courts of this State, or upon contracts for the payment of money made prior to the first day of June, 1865, except fur the sale or hire of slaves, it shall and may bo lawful for the parties in all such cases to give in evidence before tho jury cmpanneled to try the same, tho con sideration of the debt or contract which may bo the subject of the suit, the amount and value of the property owned by the debtor at tho time the debt was contracted, or the contract entered into to thow upon the faith of what property credit was given to him, and what tender or tenders of pay ment he made to tho creditors at any time, and that the non-payment of the debt or debts was owing to the refusal of the creditor to receive the money tendered or offered to be tendered ; the destruction or loss of the property upon the faith of which the credit was given, and how and in what manner the property was destroyed or lost, and by whose default. And in all such cases, tho juries which try the same shall have power to reduce the amount of the debt or debts sued for, ac cording to the equities of each case, and render such verdicts as to them shall appear just and equitable. Sec. 2. That in all cases in which ver dicts have been rendered or judgments on tered upon debts contracted prior to the first day of June, 1865, and tho judgment remains unsatisfied, it shall be lawful for the defendant or defendants, by motion in the court in which tho judgment was obtained, to have the same submitted to a jury for trial, upon the same conditions as arc con tained in the preceding section, with like powers to the jury to reduce the amount of the judgment according to the equities of each case, and render such verdict as to them shall appear equitable and just; and the judgment rendered in such case shall su percede the prior judgment: Provided, no judgment shall lapse the priority of its lien by reason of the rendition of a new judg ment; and provided (but in all such cases twenty days notice shall be given to the plaintiff in execution. Cases in the Supe rior Courts, and cases transferred to that Court from the Inferior and County Courts, and in the Justices Courts, ten days notice shall be given ; and in all cases commenced by motion in either the Superior or Justices Courts, the case or rases shall be in order for trial at the term al which the motion may be made, but shall be subject to continu ances as eases upon the appeal.

Sec. 4.

Ua r.KINGTON, Clerk of tha House. ■ • - t The Freedmen and the Catholic Church.- -The Roman Catholic Synod, re cently held, gave commendable emphasis to the decrees of the last Council of Baltimore respecting the Freedmen, and we have great hope that the American Catholics may be induced to follow the traditional policy of their Church and do something more for the negroes than they have ever done yet. If Catholicism is good for white people, it is good for colored people, too, and the Roman Church in past time lias done many good offices toward slaves, fiir which she is ifliti tied to lasting honor. We are glad to hear the Bishops urging the establishment of colored schools and orphan asylums in the Southern States; but how tremendously sig nificant is the reason they give for insisting especially upon the latter work, namely, because ‘‘from the unsettled condition of the Southern States it is lobe feared that many children of lhe colored race will be left orphans.”—■Hew York Tribune. Not so Bad.—A number of the South ern papers are now beginning to show that the election of Grant may not, after all, be such a bad thing for the South. It is possible that be may not be such a horrid tyrant, possessed of such ferocious ideas as they have heretofore represented. This is one sensible step for the Southern editors. Now, we venture to say that after Grant's election, they will have an opportunity of learning how totally mistaken they were in regard to his character and principles. And, we have no doubt that, within a year from this time, President (irant will be as universally popular with the people of the Southern States as of the Northern. —— ■» Ohio Ladies. —Mrs. Polly Stockwell, aged one hundred and five years, a resident of Delaware county, Ohio, recently walked six miles in one day.
