quence of the inclemency of the weather
the lecture announced for last ni"ht, at
Concert Hall, by Bishop Lynch, was
postponed, and will, if the weather is
favorable, be delivered to-night, at
Masonic Hail.
The W e atiikr,— ,-It is an old maxint
to preserve silence when nothing good
can be said—and consequently we have
nothing to say of the weather on yes
terday, for it was good for nothing,
unless for ducks and other birds and
animals of aquatic proclivity. It has
rained pretty steadily for ti e last thirty
six hours, and bids fair to rain as many
more.

S2BO. Match pairs brought from SBOO
to $515. Mules brought from SIOO to
S2OO. One pair brought $425. The sale

The liECoiowtu. - *. Coubt.—We don't
know if the bad folks, having found out
that there was anew Recorder, are anx
ious to test his qualities, or what is the
cause; but the attendance has been con
siderably increased since bia installation
into office, and they generally get jus
tice, sometimes vulgarly called “jessy 1”
On yesterday morning, the 18tb sec
tion was tbe favorite section for viola
tion.
One freed man for licking another wag
fined $5. He probably belonged to the
“Kiekapoos but he’joined tbe ‘•Paw
nees,” for he had to pony up tbe cash.
A couple of others who had a difficulty
were required to pay, respectively, $2
and $1 and edits. *
Another for kicking up a ruction had
to pay $5 costs. And another of the
same sort- was required to fork over u V
also.
The Hanlon Brothers. — These ex-*
iraordinarv Athlete* and Gymnasts
will givd a aeriea of entertainments in
this City, commencing on Monday
evening next. The Charleston papers
are laviqh in yi raise of thtam ami the
other portions of theif Combination,
and our amusement lovers have raaaoat
lo expect a very rich treat while the
Brothers exhibit here. Seat* cab be
secured in advance at Messrs. So|iriiii*r
& Sons’ Music Store.
A Word to Merchants. —We have
recently henrd of a number of
merchants from the interior who,
having tried the Nctv York market, ex
pressed themselves satisfied that they
could do quits as well in this city. They
moreover declare that hereafter they in
tend to renew their stocks in this market.
When the fluctuations in gold, aud con
sequently in goods, are considered, it is
evident that it is true policy Ibr dealers
to ktep their stocks as nearly ns possible
down lo the immediate wants of trade.
They have lost heavily by holding large
stocks on the declines that have more
than ouee occurred during the last two
years, and have determined to buy in
smaller quantity, aud keep their slocks
fresh.
The expense is too great to justify
frequent visits to New York, and they,
therefore, have resolved to buy in this
city.
We believe the conclusions of these
gentlemen are wise, and have no doubt
that country merchants generally would
find it to their interest to adopt the same
course.
In this connection we cannot with
hold a suggestion to the who esaie
deal ers here. It is one w hich may not
seem entirely disinterested, but we are
satisfied ot its importance. It 13, to let
the country merchants know, by liberal
and judicious advertising that you have
the goods they want. Some of our
largest dealers are the most liberal
advertisers, while others seem not to
realize the importance of this agency in
building up trade.
Next Governor of Alabama. —The
Mobile Advertiser suggests the name of
Alexander McKinstry as a suitable can
didate tor Governor. He is said to be
a mau of mark and of brains—of indtis.
try and energy, and with every quality
requisite in an executive officer.
CiißiSTsiAp Presents. —The Ashtabula
Sentinel says: ‘‘A highly respectable
lady of Detroit has, on three Christmas
days out of the last four, presented her
delighted husband with a little ‘respon
sibility.’ Date of births—December 25,
1863, 1865 and 1866.”
Memphis Appeal. —This excellent
daily has just been purchased by Messrs.
Hogan & Cos. Albert Pike and St. Clair
Hearing, Fsqrs., are announced as
Editors. Mr. Hearing is, we believe, a
brother of Dr. Hearing in this city. We
hope his old Georgia friends will remem
ber him in his new capacity.
Tax on Advertising. —The Com
mittee on Ways and Means, at a recent
meeting, among other modifications of
the tax bill, agreed to abolish the tax
on newspaper advertising. Other ma
terial changes are recommended, which
will greatly reduce the revenue from
internal sources.
Memphis and Charleston Railroad.
—The following are the receipts and
expenditures of this road for the month
of December, 1866 : For passengers
$166,182.72; freights, $64,155.07;
mails. $1,700; express. $6,200 ; other
sources, $662. Total, $l7B 848.79.
Expenses, $82,753.19. Net revenue,
$96,096.60.
With such a revenue it would seem
that this road could well afford Ao unite
* . W
with other lines in reducing the present
oppressive tariff of freights to the West.
Freaks of the Types. —Our Macon
cotemporaries give the following good
humored turn to a typographical error:
Too Emphatic. —ln the article of
yesterday upon the “Deadlock” we were
made to represent the Radicals as
climbing ud to the ‘summit of universal
dam nation.'' Domination, Mr. Printer.
—Jdiirnal & Messenger , Gth.
We do not think the “Mr. Printer”
made much of a mistake, except that
the place of “damnation,” is generally
located at the base, instead of the sum
in it, of the universe. By his slight
infusion of brimstone, he has rather
improved and galvanized the “Dead
lock.”— Citizen.
A Visit to Augusta. —Brother With
ington, of the Savannah Advertise r,
writes pleasantly of his late trip to Au
gusta, t'rotn which we extract as fol
lows:
On reaching Augusta we put up at
the Globe, kept by Mr. W. C. Hewitt, of
Virginia, and well kept too. His rooms
are comfortably furnished, his table well
spread, servants attentive, and above
all, be eives bis personal supervision to
the comfort of his guests. We do not
say this by way of a newspaper puff, for
we paid our bills there just the same as
any other guests, but because we hon
estly think that he deserves tbe good
opiuiou of the travelling public.
On Saturday, happening in the Plan
ters’, we were laid violent hands upon
by our old acquaintance T. S. Nicker
son, formerly of the Mills House in
Charleston, and now running Nicker
sou's hotel in Columbia and tbe Plan
ters’ in Augusta. We accepted his invi
tation to test the quality of bis dinner,
and it is useless to say that we found it
such a one .a* Nickerson knows how to
set belore his guests.
Our friends of tbe “art preservative”
were overjoyed to see us, and we take
occasion to tender ourthanksto “Admi
ral” Nelson, of the Chronicle, “Commo
dore” Stockton and Messrs. Ells and
Judge, of the Coiistiluhonaliet, and
Puglie, -Blome, Atkinson and all the
balance of tbe Preen, for many favors
shown, as well as for their exceedingly
flattering notices of us. We owe you
one, brothers, and hope soon to have
the pleasure of nfeeting you in tbe
Forest City, where wo will be üblo to
reciprocate.
We noticed many improvements in
Augusta since our last visit, in the way
pt modernizing the fronts of stores ; but
there is still room for imprbvement, and
our neighbors are uot, yet up K> Savan
nah iu this line.
GEO&GIA ITEMS.
A detachment of United States sol
diers has been sent to Dahlouega *‘to
afford protection to life and property,
and induce capital and labor to concen
trate there to work the mines.”
II The Dahlouega titynal contains a
Communication recommending General
day.to ratify the amendment in the’ city
charter authorizing elections by wards,
(he vote was 258 for ratification and 5
against it.
Gov. Jenkins has ordered commis
sions to issue to Wm. M. Sessions, Hi
ram Warner, Wm. B. Fleming, Carlton
B. Cole, Wnt. Gibson, Augustus Reese
and John Clark, who hare been
elected Judges of their respective cir
cuits,
Thomas J. Simmons is appointed
temporarily Solicitor General for the
Macon circuit. Win. 11. Hulsey, Albert
B. Smith, S. Wise Parker, W. B. Ben
nett, Etuory P. Edwards and N. A«
Smith are elected, and commissions
ordered to be issued to them.
The Bainbridge Argun says that
$30,000 of the subscription necessary
to insure the completion of the Gulf
Rond to that point has been put down,
and the remaining $20,000, it is be
Ijeved, will be forthcoming.
The Marietta paper mills have under
gone a thorough repair, and are now
turning out a superior article of print
ing paper.
There are now forty or fifty business
houses in Marietta, embracing every
variety of merchandize.
Captain De la Mesa, who lords it
over the people ol Rome, has ordered
the keepers of the Star Saloon lo take
down their sign of a lone star. He also
ordered another saloon keeper to re
move his sign—the “Confederate Sa
loon.” He is the great man who has
six young men- of Rome in jail in
Atlanta- for exhibiting a Confederate
Flag in a tableaux representing the
soldier's grave.
Three small wooden buildings in
Atlanta, between Marietta street and
the bridge, were destroyed by fire
yesterday about 4 o’clock, supposed
to have been the work of an incendiary.
The loss was small —probably not ex
ceeding $2,000 for the buildings and
contents.
Americas Securities.— A writer in.
the London Times explains why it is
that American securities are so low in
Europe, compared lo those of other
countries of far less wealth and in
lluence. The chief reason is alleged to
be in the fact that Congress passed an
act authorizing the issue of inconverti
ble paper, and declared it to be legal
tender. Every State in the North, with
the honorable exception of Massachu
setts —faithful it among the faithless
found—availed itself promptly ol this
law. and paid its creditors in a depre.
ciated currency. Thus the English
creditor who had lent SI,OOO in gold to
the State of New York upon the promise
ot six per cent, interest—that is, of an
annual payment of s6o received S6O
in paper, the value of which was at one
time no more than $24 in gold, and
even now is very little more than S4O
- than this, if the bond became
due, he was paid off with a sum varying
from two fifths to two-thirds of what he
had lent. Instead of getting back his
thousand gold dollars, he received from
four to six hundred.
Massachusetts alone has paid in coin.
Telegraphic News.— The Atlanta
Intelligencer and Macon Telegraph , who
used the weight of their influence and
support to drive Mr. Craig from the
field, evidently begin to realize their
mistake. The Intelligencer introduces
a paragraph from the latter paper as
follows:
There are no good and substantial
reasons occurring to our mind at this
moment why we should not endorse the
paragraph subjoined, which we find in
the Macon Telegraph of yesterday, with
the remark that the quantity is not only
largely reduced, but there is quite a
perceptible depreciation in the quality.
Then follows this extract 'front the
Te'egraph:
Our dispatches, since Mr. Craig’s op
position got out of the way, have become
“small by degrees and beautifully less.”
We cannot now get even the markets, in
which onr commercial friends are par
ticularly interested, with anything like
regularity. As the New Y’ork Associa
tion has now the entire Southern press
in its own hands, and that by the action
of many of us who stood by it in its late
contest for existence, it is due to its own
reputation,as well as to us, that it should
use every effort to supply us with all the
important news of the day.
German Pacification. —The work
of pacification moves steadly on in
Germany. The greatest obstacle in the
way of pacification is the disposition to
make social distinctions.
In Frankfort, while the business peo
ple,—tbe men of sense, who see and ac
cept the situation—acquiesce in the new
order of things, the ladies refuse to reco
gnize Prussians in society. To such an
extent has this aversion been carried,
that ball tickets wear the initials “O. P.”
(Oliiie Prtussen," without Prussians)
nnd more than once the patricians of
the City of Frankfort have bought up
all the seats in the Theatre, to keep the
Prussian officers out.
On the other hand, the men of busi.
ness—those who are to rule Frankfort,
have petitioned the King to give them'
the Prussian municipal system, though
there is no Prussia party, so-called in
the City. The press and the people,
are working for the great end of unity,
and it is believed that Inless than ten
years North and South Germany will
all be Prussian.
—The Supreme Court at Washington
has decided that Arkansas canot tax

HOUSE.
After unimportant business the Re
construction Committee Bill was taken
up.
Mr. Stevens had not made np bi s
mind beyond desiring to.vote as early
as possible. Would not agree to post
pone a vote till Monday.
Mr, Lctllond said the bill struck down
civil government in the South; ignored
State lines, aud broke down the Judi
ciary,
Mr. Raymond proposed, in view of its
importance, to allow twenty minutes. It
wns finally agreed to hold a night session
for discussion.
Mr. Ashley rose to an explanation re
garding the newspaper correspondence,
in which he took occasion to denounce
the President, but denied complicity
with Gen. Butler, or any intention to
stab Gen. Grant in the back.
'I be Retrenchment Committee re
ported favorably to the official conduct
of Mr. Van Dyke, Assistant Treasurer
of New York.
Messrs. Stevens and Brandegee made
characteristic speeches in favor of the
bill.
The latter says the bill commences
where Grant left off two years ago. lie
saw a promise that the sword of the
Republic was about to be again un
sheathpd.
Mr. Lcßlond Finch opposed, and Mr.
Pike favored the bill.
Mr. Farnsworth followed on same
side.
Mr. Rogers spoke an hour in opposi
tion, saying “Rather than see a military
government established in this country,
he, for one, would use the power the
Almighty gave him in resisting an
invasion of his liberties.”
Mr. Thayer interrupted Mr. Rogers
about its costing bis neck.
Rogers continued, it the South had
had the blood of Washington, Jefferson,
and Madison, sages aud heroes ot the
revolution, they would protest as their
fathers had protested, by their blood
against the despotism ot King George.
He hoped the President of the United
States would resist; would use the
powers the Constitution gave him to
compel traitors to obey the laws. If
Andrew Johnson, added Rogers, would
submit to see the country destroyed, his
name w.ould go down with ignominy to
posterity as a coward and a traitor,
Bingham spoke very briefly, placing
himself squarely in opposition to the
measure, when the House took a recess
till seven o’clock.
