Exports op Specie.—lt is stated that
the ' amount of gold and silver money
and bullion which has been exported to
the East, from Europe and America, tor
sixteen years, ending with 1866, reaches
the vßStaum of one billion two hundred
and fifty million dollars, of which not
more than two hundred and fifty mil
liohs have been returned. In a word, it
is doubtful whether England or America
can boast as large amount of specie in
present possession as they have paid
over to Eastern countries within the
past sixteen years.
Agricultural Laborers—North
and South. —An act has been passed
by the Legislature of Georgia, and a bill
is now pending in tbe Legislature of
Alabama, to giFe agricultural laborers a
lien upon the crops made by them. The
effect will be to secure to freed men the
wages contracted for. How many Nor
thern States have given laborers such
security as this? We doubt very much
whether one of them has. This' is an
unprompted and voluntary measure of
justice to the freednSen by Southern leg
islators, and shows who are their real,
practical friends.
Ixcome Tax. —The Richmond Exam
iner “There seems reason to sup
pose that incomes below one thousand
dollars (instead of six hundred dollars,
as at present) will be exempted from
taxation in the new bill. This is the
only piece of legislation yet proposed in
Congress of much advantage to our
readers, and we make our acknowledg
ments accordingly.
To Advertisers Generally.
The Internal Revenue Law of
the flailed States levies a tax of 3
per cent, on tlie amount received
for advertisement*by the publish*
er» of every journal or newnpuper
having a circulation of two thou
sand or more copies. The DA 11. Y
PRESS PAYS THIS TAX, and pub
lishes the officiul I.lst of betters ;
and, therefore, must have the
largest circulation, and, const
fluently, uffords the best medium
for advertising all kinds of busi
ness.
A Voice from Florida.—A gentle
man of this City called on us last eve
ning, and showed ub a letter from his
mother, now on a visit to Florida. She
says : “My sop, never tend me another
Constitutionalist again ; I have just
read of the unjust bonus, required of
Mr. l’ughe. Send me his paper and no
other, after what has happened.” Quan
tum svffirit.
Personal. —lt affords us pleasure to
chronicle the fact that opr worthy Mayor,
Hon. John Foster, and John Phiitizy
Jr., Esq., member of Council from the
Second Ward, have both so far recovered
as to be on the streets again.
Boots and Shoes.— M. Cohen still
continues to cater for the understanding
of Ins customers, and caters well. He
has an excellent assortment of goods
in his line.
City City Council will
meet this morning at 9 o’clock. An
election for Recorder, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of Judge
Gibson, will take place at this meeting.
Late PAPER B .-We are indebted to
the Southern Express Company for late
New York papers in advance of the
mail.
■fi»iiTajtmi AastA.Y ..A i»mnm —.
This it the name of a neat little adver
tising sheet, jgst started in Atlanta by
<J. F. Shecnt, Esq., several thousand
copies of which will be issued gratui
tously every week.
In 'connection with this paper, he has
opened a general advertising, purcha
sing, and collecting agency, through
which, persona may advertise in, or sub
scribe for any newspaper in the cojtifcy
at the publisher's price. He will ajha.
attend to the collection of bills, the pur*
chase or goods, or any other business
requiring an actire mid faithful agent
in Atlanta. Our frieud Shecut has
evidently hit the nail on' the head, in
the way ol a live and lucrative business,
and we wish him the success which his
energy and integrity merit.
Remedy for Dull Timf.s.—Nothing
is more common than (o hear the re
mark—“Oh, its useless to advertise—
the times are too dull,!; and the philoso
phers who adopt tbit policy content
themselves to play euchre in the bnek
store, or stand on' the curb and
watch the ladies as they flaunt by,
arrayed in dry goods, most pro
bably bought from some dealer who
keeps his name before the people.
Instead of keeping the name of their
wares temptingly before the public*
they are content to plod along, waiting
for customers to find them out; as
though it were the duty of the buying
public to issue a search warrant to find
that they have the goods desired. Old
Stephen Girard, the model of prudence
as well as of success—adopted a differ
ent policy. He kept his name before
the public in the dutl season as well as
when trade was active. Indeed, he
said it was more necessary to advertise
out of the regular pressure of business
than at any other time.
A few Stephen Girards mixed in with
our mercantile community just now
might put a different aspect on business.
Who knows ?
Thf. Order of Things. —Redpath is
out in the Anti-Slavery Standard for
three things which he calls Progress and
Improvement. They are:
Is*. The abolition ot the United
States Supreme Court, which is pressed
by many Radicals.
2d. The abolition of the United States
Senate.
3d. The abolition of the United States
Army.
The New York Express says: All
this is but a fresh reminder of the
French revolution. It begun with
Mira beau, advanced to the Girondists,
and ended with Robespierra. A wise
people would see in the teachings of
history, examples to avoid, as well as to
follow.
Webster’s Prophecy. —The following
lrora a speech of Daniel Webster is
going the rounds of the press: “If these
infernal fanatics and abolitionists ever
get the power in their hands, they will
override the Constitution, set the Su
preme Court at defiance, change and
make laws to suit themselves, lay violent
hands on those who differ with them in
opinion and dare question their infalli
bility, and finally bankrupt the country
and deluge it in blood.” Most of the
prophecy has come to pass —the rest
hurries into fulfillment.
“The Lost Cause.” —The Tarborough
(N. C.) Southerner says: “Did North
Carolina engage in the late war? will be
a most natural inquiry, upon reading the
‘Lost Cause,’ by E, A. Pollard. The
entire absence of any allusion to her
action in this great drama forms ape.
culiar feature in this tremendous-tissue
of falsehoods and misrepresentations.”
North Carolina is not alone in having
failed to attract due notice from this
short-sighted chronicler.
The Fur Crop.—lt is stated tha
since the memory of man, fur has never
been so plenty as this year. The ab
sence of the Indians has made the hunt
ing fields of Minnesota bloom with ani
mals whose hunting pelts are gold
mines for the trappers. Double the
quantity of fur is taken, up to this time,
over any previous year in this State."
Amxksty. —Gov. Walker, of Florida,
has, in accordance with a resolution
passed by the Legislature, issued a pro
clamation extending general pardon and
amnesty to all persons who may have
committed any crimes or misdemeanors
against the peace and dignity of the
State, during the late war.
Dry. —The Holly Springs (Miss.)
Reporter of the 18th complains that
there has not been any rain in that
neighborhood for six weeks, and that
the roads are ns dry and dusty as in
midsummer, while there is hardly any
water left, in the ponds and wells.
St. Louis Fair. —The total receipts
of the late Southern Relief Fair at St
Louis were $146,942.46; exDenses (
$10,643.58. Os the balance, $124,743.63
was paid to the distributing committee,
and the balance applied to the relief of
applicants, or sent in goods to the
South.
Negro Emigration.— The Charleston
News estimates the number of negroes,
farm hands, that have left South Caro
lina for Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkan
sas, Texas, und Florida, at twenty-five
thousand.
The Constitutional Amendment, —
It is stated that knowing Radicals ad
vised the postponement of definite
actiun in reference to the South, to the
next session, in order to allow the new
members to give such turn to proceed
ing as popular sentiment may justify.
WnEAT Crop. —lt is said that the
present wheat crop of Virginia is the
most promising one since 1860.
Eclipses. —There will be tour eclipses
this year—two of the sun and two of the
moon.
1 Atlaitta MuNTtiFAL Mtudi.c.—Our
brethren of the Gate City appear to
have got |heir municipal affairs some
wtaxt ejar.. There is a cletalcation, by
the Treasurer, of last year, amounting to
over $40,000, and the resignation of the
preseut Mayor and Council hag been
suggested* and urged through the press.
Hap. 1J B. Williams, the Mayor, pub
isles | card in whiclt he throws tse onus
ql ]i§ claims that It prop
erly belongs—o* kite Treasurer and’ Fi
nance Committee. He urges that his
duties ns Mayor were faithfully dis
charged—that it was not customary, or
incumbent on the Mayor, to go behind
the action of the appropriate committee*
and review their acts until evidence of
official neglect were brought to his no
tice. He therefore snys that, whatever
others ®sy say under the preaaure of
temporary excitement and censure, he
is conscious of a rectitude of purpose in
all his acts, and t till not resign. Without
knowing much about the merits ot the
case, from a long acquaintance., with
Mayor Williams, and from the frank and
manly tone of his card, we cannot doubt
that he will come out of the unhappy
conflict with bis high character unspotted*
and his popularity unimpaired.
A New Shoe House. —We have
already referred to the rfew wholesale
and retail boot and shoe store just
opened in this city, at the old stand ot
V. Richards A Bro., by Messrs. Blod
gett A Cos. We took a look at their
store on yesterday, and were pleased to
find it one ot the neatest and most ex
pensive establishments of the kind ever
opened in the city. We doubt if there
is in the South a more varied and com
plete selection, for the retail trade—
while they are also prepared to do a
large jobbing business. Their stock
embraces every variety that the tastes
and wants of the public demand. It
has been selected by members of the
firm, one of whom has' an experi
ence of more thar. fifteen years in the
business, and is acquainted with all the
leading manufacturers in the Middle
and New England States. With stocks
like this, and like others to be found in
the city, we see no reason why country
merchants may not find it to their in
terest to replenish their stocks in this
market.
Direct Trade Project. —A writer
in the Atlanta Era suggests that the
State purchase steamers and run a line
from Brunswick to some European, port,
regularly once or twice a mouth, or
oftener, regardless of business at first,
so that our cottou shippers and mer
chants could have a fair chance to open
direct trade, and emigrants be brought
direct to our borders. In due time, if
the experiment paid, it could be trans
ferred to individuals ; and if it did not
pay, it is worth trying, anyhow, as an
effort in the right direction, which
there is no private means to set on foot.
In connection with this scheme, the
writer suggests that two commissioners
be appointed—one to go to Europe
with maps, plans, and propsitions front
landholders, and make arrangements
for immigrants ; while the other stay on
this side to receive and forward such
orders and offers as might be presented
through him from the people. In this
way immigrants would be fully advised,
before they started, of their prospects,
and it is believed that thousands of-good
setllers could be induced to come.. The
plan is worth considering.
Bjsnop Lynch. —The Atlanta Intel,
ligencer, of yesterday, says : “We hope
to see the above distinguished gentle
man greeted by a large and appre
ciative audience to-night. He comes to
this city in response to an invitation
from the Executive Committee to assist
in raising means to relieve the destitute,
and the subject upon which he will
lecture—“ The Tunnel of the Alps”—
as well as the object had in view, will
certainly fill the Central Presbyterian
Church to its utmost capacity. Bishop
Lynch, known far and wide as the
“Bishop of Charleston,” and still more
widely known and loved for the noble
manner in which he acquitted himself
during the dark days of the Confederacy*
has travelled extensively in Europe,
and while there closely investigated the
wonderful work of art to which his lec
ture this evening will be devoted. We
ask for him a cordial greeting.
Liverpool Shipping, —During the
year ending December 1, 1866, the
foreign trade qf Liverpool was carried
on by 5,060 vessels, of 3,125,242 ton
nage, that entered inwards, and 4,628
vessels, of 2,966,241 tonnage, that
cleared outwards. This is an increase
over the preceding year of 233 vessels,
with 480,421 tonnage inwards, and 203
vessels, with 334,634 tonnage outwards.
Winter Bonnets. —The latest style
consists of a postage stamp with strings
ot green ribbons. The hair is combed
back so as to give the air uninterrupted
access to the roots, and the ears and
neck. This style is highly recommended
by physicians. A box of Shefuhl’s
Neuralgic Ointment accompanies each
bonnet.
An officer in the army, in the Indian
country, sends a letter to a friend in
Lockport, which contains the following
cheerful passage . “I would send you a
lock of my hair, but I fear it would be
a fraud upon the savages of this
vicinity. There is a fair prospect that
one of these noble red men will be my
barber before spring.”
Litf,rary.— We are indebted to Mr.
Quinn, of the Literary Depot, for the
January and February number of “The
Land we Love”—Gen. Hill’s monthly.
They are excellent numbers, and can bo
had at Mr. Quinn’s Depot. This valua
ble journal should be liberally encour
aged.
Quinn has also all the cpmic papers
and juvenile magazines.
For Recottniß.—There are hot three
gentlemen who have been named as
candidates for (Sty Recorder, an elecf
kion for which tabes place before Coun
cil to day, to fill the vacancy occasioned
by the resignation of Judge William
Gibson. Theseare, Major S. H. Crump,
Captain A. and Matt.
Sherott, Esq. Tse*B are *ll well quali
fied for the positkm, and we think will
puzzle tie City Walkers tq determine
which of the three to choose. * j
Major Crump was a gallant officer in
the late war, and has been for several
years Clerk of Council and Clerk of the
Recorder’s Court, which has given him
considerable experience, and would fit
him eminently well for the position.
Capt. Picquet is a lawyer of a large
practice, and has bean for several years
a Justice of the Peace, both of which
positions would well qualify him for
Recorder.
Mr. Sheron has also been a Justice of
the Peace for a length of time, and
with a clear head and a good judgment,
would make a good Recorder.
With these names and these qualifi
cations, is it wonderful that there should
be some difficulty in making a choice ?
A Huge Supper.— Last night, the
compositors of the Press Office were
invited to partake of a bountifully sup
plied board of good things generally,
from the Office Saloon, on Ellis street,
Bear the Palace Stables. The manner
in which the eatables were prepared,
and with the delicacies to make it agree
able, reminded us of our brethren of the
case who partook of our Proprietor's
sunper, last week. We had kind feel
ings for them, and all our feelings of
enmity vanished. We recommend Mr.
Fritz, and Mr. Hays, his head man at
the bar, to those who desire to be well
supplied. Our Ariel says, “the bonus
supper was uo whar.”
Memphis Appeal.— We welcome this
sterling journal to our exchange list.
It is one of the very best papers in the
Mississippi valley—a mammoth in size,
and in all the qualities of first class
journalism. Our readers were made
familiar with the Appeal from its tem
porary publication in Atlanta during
the war. It made so many changes,
under the pressure of millitary necessity,
that it was facetiously called the mooing
Appeal —and we hope a great many of
onr readers will be moved to subscribe
for it. The name of Benjamin F. Dill
—formerly of this City, and who died
two or three years ago—is still at its
head, and the manly tone which per
vaded its columns, under bis adminis
tration is still maintained. If tbe edit
ors will publish their terms (which are
omitted in the number before us), we
will give them to our readers.
New Hose Company. —We
stand that anew Fire Hose Company .1 •
being organized in the Eighth District,
with Ed. Purcell as Captain. The
compauy is to be called the “Blenner
hassett,” and its headquarters are to be
at the building in which the popular
saloon of that name is located. Ed. is
a whole team, and, with the material at
hand, will, we do not doubt, render his
company one of the most efficient in tbs*.

HOUSE.
The Consular and Diplomatic appro
priation bill was taken up.
Mr. Harvey, at Portugal, gets no
salary. The appropriation for the Min

passed.
The Secretary of State was asked
whether tbe bills to repeal the 13th sec
tion of the District Suffrage bill were on
file in his office. It was stated, in
debate, that this was the first instance
of his neglect to return bills with or
without approval.
The bill transferring Indian affairs to
the War Department was taken up, and
an amendment allowing Indians the
same rights and privileges allowed ne
groes was rejected. The bill was adopt
ed—76 to 73.
The House then went into a Com

85,000,000 by various financial reforms.
The remaining 100,000,000 must be
made up by extraordinary means. A
loan is impossible under the present
circumstances. Therefore the State
must have recourse to Ecclesiastical
property, which it proposes to tax to
the amount of 600,000,000 livres, which
will cover the annual deficit till 1880,
