Republican Meeting To-Night.
We learn with much pleasure that
arrangements have been made by our
Republican fellow-citizens for a public
meeting, at the City Hall, to-night,
the object being, we believe, to
acknowledge their defeat at the
election on Wednesday last—to com
fort each other, perhaps—and, like
good and loyal citizens, to pledge their
fealty to “ the powers that be.”
Not Trne.
It is currently’ reported that Hon.
Foster Blodgktt has gone to Wash
ington with a view' to solicit interfer
ence in regard to the late municipal
election in this city. We feel author
ized to pronounce this rejunt entirely
unfounded. He had been called to
Washington by dispatch, two days
previous to the election, on business
entirely foreign to that imputed.
The Little Corporal.
The December number of this
charming magazine for the young folk
is on our table. Any one desiring to
furnish their young friends and relatives
with reading matter of a highly in
teresting and instructive character
cannot do better than yet this spright
ly magazine. It is of gold value, and
yet dirt cheap—only $1 per yeah
Address A. L. Sewell, Chicago,
Illinois.
New Paper at Atlanta.
Rev. Mr. Fuller contemplates pub
lishing a religious pajier in the city of
Atlanta, to be called the
vocate. It is supposed that it will be
the Southern organ of the Northern
Methodist Church.
Our City Election.
The Macon Telegraph congratulates
the people of zYugusta upon the result
of their late municipal election. It
says “they have elected men, good
and true, to fill their local offices.”
We shall not attempt to negative its
assertion. We agree with its state
ment sufficiently to induce a support
. of the new administration in all mat
ters calculated to promote the general
welfare of the city’.
—— - - —A
The Weather.
The weather in this locality seems
decidedly out of humor with itself
and everybody’ else. It is regularly
blue, foggy, drizzly, and gloomy. Is
it not possible that the “clerk" got
mixed up in the demonstration of
Thursday night, and wound up his
machine backwards ?
A New Wrinkle.
In the fashionable circles, the latest
novelty is the addstion to the Grecian
Bend of the “Roman Wiggle.” We
have not observed, knowingly, on our
’ promenades, any attempt to cultivate
this style.
w
Mill Entliused.
While passing along Monument
street last evening, we heard one of
our colored Democratic citizens la
menting, in loud tones, the loss of his
hat, which was taken from him by
some person. But in the midst of his
grief he did not forget his political
feelings, and ever and anon he would
shout “Hurrah for Russell.”
Cotton Stalk* Should be Burned.
As a matter of interest to farmers,
we recommend the burning of their
cotton stalks this winter. It is said
that the eggs of the cotton worm arc
deposited in the cotton stalks. If
these eggs are well roasted, they are
not likely' to hatch. The experiment
is w’holly inexpensive, and may prove
of great advantage to the cotton crops
of the erthting year.
Another plan may be adopted, which
is, to plough up all cotton lands dur
ing the winter and expose the eggs
there deposited to the action of frosts.
Frozen eggs are likewise incapable ol
generating the pestiferous worms,
which produced such havoc in the
cotton crops of the present year
These plans deserve at least a trial.
! Wauled a Laaa.
I An cuttqurising trie, yeslerdaj
' j morning, bvtuvea th»»« nud sow
i o’clock, tiUenipted to force a loan from
. | Messrs. Ra i-poLo. The early hour al
which they caail»-'i nt the Saloon es the
Messrs. It., naturally suggested to the
b junior the id* .'i flint i I was some one
in <>f his bitters ;” he
promptly ojtcnmi the door, although
but partially dressed, when Uiree men
entered and inquired the etatc of hit
finances. After informing them that
he was in funds, ho gave an alarm,
whereupon the trio simmered down
into patrons and took “ a smile,” and
with it their departure.
Not willing to be thus balked in
their enterprise, they visited the Mar
ket, and attempted a raid on a defence
less pie-woman, whose prompt alarm
I stampeded them. We have not learned
of any arrests in this case, but think
’ it advisable Unit our police should
at least keep one eye on such charac
ters.
A Dry Dock in Savaniiali.
We learn from the Savannah Hepuh
• lican that a couple of enterprising
gentlemen propose to erect for that
1 city’ a dry dock, of sufficient capacity
to accommodate vessels of the largest
size. This is right. Savannah, as one
of the most prominent commercial
ports of the South, should be placed
in line with her sister seaports in this
respect. The point selected as the
most eligible site for the erection of
the dry dock is on Hutchinson’s
Island, about opposite to Willink’s ship
yard.

Solemn Requiem ’lass for Bishop
Barry.
Wo transfer from the columns of
our cotemporary, the Bmvner of the
South, the following account of the
celebration of Mass at the Catholic
Church, in this city, iu commemora
tion of the ninth anniversary of the
death of Bishop Barky :
Thursday, November 26th, was the ninth
anniversary of thedeath of tins sainted and
beloved Prelate. The sad event was com
meiuoratcd by ;t solemn Requiem Mass al the
Catholic Church, iu this city, Ute scene of
his early Priestly labors and triumphs. Mass
was celebrated at 9 o'clock, a. m,. by Father’
O’Hara, in the presence of a large congrega
tion, including the Societies of St. Aloysius and
of the immaculate Conception, who were
out in force, with their banners limped in
mourning.
in front of the Altar a neat Catafalque
was raised, and upon it rested a coffin, on
which was placed a Mitre, denoting the rank
of the deceased Bishop. 'The sad symbols of
death, as well as the Altar and Choir Gallery,
were appropriately draped in mourning. The
Catafalque was the work of Mr. John Hur
ley, who holds the memory of his former
beloved benefactor as fresh and green in his
memory as when he served the good Bisliop
at the Altar.
In the Sanctuary were the venerable Father
Duggan, the beloved associate and friend of
Dr. Barry in all his good works, and Father
Kirby, who had just returned from the
North, whither he had gone for his health.
The Choir was also present, and added much
to the interest of the solemn occasion, acquit
ting themselyes, as usual, with much credit.
The Mass was celebrated by Father O’Hara,
who. also, delivered a clmstc and eloquent
little sermon.
Good-Bye! and Welcome.
The Atlanta Constitution of yester
day contains the “Good-Bye” of Col.
Carey W. : Styles, that gentleman
having withdrawn from its editorial
management. Requieacat in pace. It
likewise contains the Salutatory of
Maj. J. R. Barrick, the poet, scholar,
and polished gentleman, who grace
fully succeeds to the tripod. The
Constitution, as heretofore, will sup
port the principles of the Democratic
party, because of the editor’s “faith
.in their sounder policy than those of
the Republican party but he says,
“In urging my own views I shall be
governed by moderation and respect
for those who '.lifer with me.” We
cordially welcome Major Barrick in
the journalistic ibid, and wish him a
pleasant association mid great pecu
niary success. It will indeed be a
happy day for the people of Georgia
and of the entire country when the
editors and leaders of both parties
shall adopt and live tip to the admira
ble motto of Major Barrick, viz:
MODERATION.
Prosperity or Koine.
We are gratified to note every in
stance of prosperity in the cities aud
towns of Georgia, and trust that we
shall be made glad frequently in
chronicling such evidences- of thrift
and enterprise as is indicated in the
following extract from the Rome
Commercial of the 4th instant:
1 It is pleasant to speak of the present pros
■ perity of Rome, and to look forward to its
future. Since the way we have liad much to
1 do to regain our former position, and we are
L proud to say, that that much and a great deal
more has been accomplished. Our mercan-
I tile interests are two fold greater than Before
the war; our Railroad facilities ten limes
greater; our steamboat facilities equal to
what it was, and as to general prosperity, and
’ a good feeling among our whole people, there
, is no comparison.
Death of Lieutenant Colonel
I Majnadier.
i The Savannah Republican notes the
f death, at Oglethorpe Barracks, on
1 Thursday last, of Brevet Lieutenant
t Colonel Henry E. Maynadier, cow
2 mahdi’T of the military garrison at
s Savannah.
Col. M. was a victim of that in-
II sidious disease, consumption, iron!
’- which he had beeu suffering for a loDj
s time. By his judicious conduct anil
i. true soldierly bearing, he had won tin
f confidence :uid esteem of the peoph

8 For the information of our lady
* readers, we submit a lew jtoints on
,furs. The fur cloak ami iargq <»po
11 arc now seldom worm The old-iaßh-<
ioßed victorine is sometimes worn, but
is no longer fashionable, and has a
11 clumsy appearance. Russian and
' Hudson Bay sable is the most expen
sive fur, and sable sets are considered
11 the most fashionable for winter. Mink
1 is still jtopular and much worn, but the
4 demand for it this season has not l>ecn
1 so great as formerly. The reason of
this is that cloaks, of Russian lamb,
Persians and Astrachan, ire extremely
fashionable, and the wearer usually
purchases a mutt - aud collar to match.
? Consequently the price of a mink set is
t less than that of last year.
f Fur is used for trimming cloaks,
t and it is also fashionable to trim morn
e ing dresses of merino, in warm, bril
-1 liant colors, with very narrow strips
I of fur, which have a pretty effect
’ Some of the pocket-muffs, and collars
i to match, made of ermine and grebe
f skin, arc trimmed with goat's hair
’ fringe, but this style has not yet be
’ come general.
A ’ Debatable <luestion.
• Pam assays: “Women are said to
C have stronger attachments than men.
, It is evinced in little tilings. A man
, is often attached to an old hat; but
. did you ever know of a woman having
an attachment for an old bonnet?”

’ Couldn’t Find a Bidder.--Tues
day at Ellis’ auction room the Sheriff
1 offered for sale a number of lots in the
1 city lor the payment of State and
. county taxes. There being no bidders
: the property was withdrawn.— Colum
bos Stin.
I Death of Gen. N. G. Evans.—We
regret to sec in the Eufaula .yews, of
the Ist instant, the announcement of
the death of this gallant and dis
tinguished Confederate soldier. Gen.
Evans was a citizen of South Carolina,
his native State, during Hie war, but
has since resided in Alabama. He
was lately engaged in teaching a
school of high character in Barbour
county, and, had, by his course in
peaceful life, added to the high re
gards of his countrymen secured by
his valuable services during the late
war.— Kwchuoye.

California. —Grant’s official ma
jority in California is 506. Owing to
some informality in printing the name
of Hoffman, one of the Republican
electors, it is said that the Secretary
of State refused to certify his election,
thus giving the Democrats an elec
tor. The matter will be submitted to
the Supreme Court. Some $2,000,000
in stakes depend upon the decision, the
Democrats claiming the bets drawn
unless the electoral vote is unanimous
for Grant and Colfax.
Accident.—We regret to learn that
a lady, the daughter of Gen. Sibley,
was thrown from her horse yesterday
afternoon, while riding on Prior street,
in the vicinity of the Park. We did
npt learn the extent of die young
lady’s injuries, but hope that they
, may not prove serious.— AtJarita .In
telligencer.
Mo Au ary Report.—The number
of interments for the month just
shows a decrease of nearly
thirty per cent, in the list of mortality
as compared with the month of Octo
ber. — Atlnnta Intelligencer.
Not True. —The statement tele
‘ graphed over the country that General
; Forrest had been arrested for shooting
. a policeman on the race course, at
Nashville, Tenn., turns out to be un
true. It was William Forrest, his
brother.
♦ * y'
TrOi blk.‘ —The Governor this even
ing received a dispatch from Marion
Court House calling for assistance to
- put down the convicts, who had broken
[ jail, revolted, and got possession of the
town. The citizens were armed, but
were unable to suppress the insur
-1 ruction. The jail had beeu crowded,
t but they all escaped.

J —The Alabama Legislature makes
it indictable for any person to appear
s in mask; and if any person shoots
, one who is masked after dark, it is to
e be considered no crime. The time of
I imprisonment for being disguised is
c from one to two yeaj-s.

a«H 8m P-
ceedtKl U> dkdr that the Foartcferth
AModmort. HomM in the bar of mm
lahraent by <lefet><Unt, was a twaai ataiuta,
but was inertly a change io the Political
hyetem adopted to sect* tntoMwmm
measure of precaution, to secure the coua- .
try against Suing offices with pemm. who
°’ l s? them and broke their
oaths. If it had been intended to inflict
punishment it woukl have
utmost folly <>f legislation. Seeing that
while it would, if viswed as defewdaat's
counsel viewed it -lighten the punish- ’
ment of leaders who had bald ofttew
and broken their tmtlw—it would
leave the people who never held office
exposed to the penalties of death and im
prisonment, aa denounced in the Constitu
tion before the adoption of the amendment.
It was an expression only of the public
will of the fitness of persons who had
engaged in rebellion, after breaking their
oaths, to bold office again. It was not
intended, as alleged by the defence, to act
as an amnesty, nor was there a single word
uttered in the Congress that formed, nor
the Legislature that adopted it, th warrant
such a construction. So far from that, it
was intended as a tat, by which these
men may be reached and guarded against
who had proved unfaithful to their pledge
to the Government. It could not be plead
in the bar of conviction for treason, seeing
that it applied to those only who had,
after taking the oath of office, engaged in
insurrection and rebellion against the
Government. Now treason is something
more than engaging in insurrection and
rebellion. It is levying war against the
Government, and of this the defendant
stands charged. It would, be strange, in- ‘
deed, if Jefferson Davis could, as he might
under this plea, com® to the bar and ac
knowledging that he was guilty fff treason,
deny the liability to be punished, because
of the 14th amendment. ' '
Mr. Dana contended that, viewed as the
defence would have it, as a repeal of the
punishing clause of the Constitution, the *
Fourteenth Article would offer a premium
for rebellion here after securing, ns it
would, the panicipatorß, Who had held
office, from all penalties save disfranchise
ment.
Mr. O'Conner followed Dana. He show
ed. from the very nature of a great civil **
war, it was impossible to follow it up by ,
trials for treason, conducted with the fair
ness required by law. How utterly repug
nant to the world’s idea of humanity it is
that after being recognized during the war
as in all respects equal to and as honorable
men as the leaders of the conquering force,
should be searched out in jx'acc to be
as traitors. That the Government and peo- e '
pie had never intended to do this, and it
was for this reason the 14tb amendment
had been adopted. It was a constitn- •
tioual provision, and executed itself, and
those who fell under it were now suffering
the punishment. He asked the Court to
give the construction to the Fourteenth
Article that the American people intended
it should bear, and to accept the great,
and beneficent act of- mercy in the con
struction which they had put upon it, ami
which tends to advance what all good
men, who are believers in universal suf
frage, so much desire, that universal suf
frage should be accompanied hand in
hand with universal amnesty of supposed
offences arising out of the unfortunate con
troversy in winch universal suffrage may
be said to have had its origin and estab
lishment. , - •
Court adjourned till tomorrow.
The Florida Affair Settled-
Tallahassee, December 4.—The Su •
preme Court to-day unanimously decided ■
that the petition of Gleason to remove his
suit to the United States Courts, under the
Civil Rights bill, did not allege any fhet
which brought the case within thie act
referred to, and ihat Gleason had had,
every right extended, and had in this
Court a full and fair hearing; and that his
complaint, if he had any, could only be
based upon an assumetl discretion winch
rested on him by his erroneous construc
tion of the Civil Rights act to approve and
decide that the decisions of the Court (as
to law) was not wliat he thought it was.
The respondent, Gleason, upon the an-'
nouncement of this opinion, left the court
room, and his counsel abandoned the
case.
