Send in your “nils” be fore all the spaea is taken. A. It. Calhoun, _ Proprietor. Tub mountains of North Georgia were coveltd with snow on Monday and Tues day laat. The British ship Quebec, which cleared at Savannah on Tuesday, for Liverpool, took the largest cargo of cotton of this •eaaon, viz : 4,500 bales. The bridge house and engine room of the ltidge Valley Iron Works, near Borne, Georgia, were burned on Wednes day morning. The loss was about $51,000, It is supposed that the lire broke out from the gas flue. The London Time* of the 22d admits that it was hoaxed into tho publication of a spurious report of President Grant's views and recommendations concerning Cuba, as contained in his late nunual mes sage, and that a perusal of wbat ho really did write removes all tho apprehensions which were excited by the report first re ceived. Tho Times charges tho fabrics- tion on Reuters Agency. The negro man Marcluuau, who was 0 f, shot by Atlsnta policemen while they %ere watching for a notorious colored rogue, a few nights ago, died of his weund on Thursday. According to bis statement of the uffair, bo did go out of the house and discharge five chambers of his pistol before he was shot; but be says that he had no balls in the pistol. He did not say why ho flrod off bis pistol. The affair will undergo judicial investi gation. The Finance Bii.l.—The Washington Republican of Wednesday says that when the bill roaches the House it will be op posed by such Republican loaders ns General Butler aud Judge Kelley, but will pass beyond doubt; also that General Grant “earnestly supports” it as tho beat measure of tho kind that can bo got from the Senate. Wo soo by a dispatch of Wednesday that Gouoral Hawloy, of Cou necticut, has also declared his opposition to the bill, but other accounts sustain the Republican?* declaration that it will nev •rtheless past the House, aud by nearly party vote. All the Radical Senators ami Mr. Holiurz, Liberal Republican, voted for the bill, though Mr. tichurz tried to obtain amendments making some prepa ration for specie payments, in which he pronounced the bill to bo lacking. All the Democratic Senators, und Messrs. Sprague, Tipton aud Hamilton, classed “independents,” voted against tho bill. The Washington Rtpublioan gives contradiction to newspaper reports of dis agreement and unpleasant feolinga be. tween the President and Secretary Bris tow. These reports have been widely ciroulsted, and were so specific and posi tive as to indicate some political purpose la their circulation. The Baltimore American (another Administration paper) thinks that there is a “hostile influence against Secretaries Bristow and Jewell, which “even penetrates the Cabinet,” aud that the reports aro traceablo to this source. Bristow and Jewell, it says, were the President’s personal selections, made in opposition to tho wishes of poll tioians, and Bristow especially shows much independence and earnestness the cause of reform in tho manugomont of his department as to arouse strong op- position to hiiu among the mere poli ticians of his party. Thebe was a mutinous manifestation by Kellogg's police on Thursday, on count of the non-payment of their wages, They beseiged tho State House in largo force und in a threatening manner, first Bending a committee to see the Governor. The committee obtaining no satisfaction, the crowd brokd iu to interview the “Governor” themselves, aud an angry al tercation occurred. Finally Kellogg sent them off to sec Oglesby, of tho National Bank, from whom he had vainly been trying to get money for them. Oglesby give them no more satisfaction, telling them that he must be repaid for what he had already advanced before ho would furnish another dollar for them. They dispersed iu a very bud humor uud with many throats. The police of Now Orleans are appointed by tbo Governor aud paid by his agerts, the people of the oiiy be ing deprived of this prerogative of self- government. _ Louisiana.—The Returning Board hav ing accomplished its work of “fixing up” a Legislature to suit Kellogg, the Con servatives arc indicating the course which they will pursue. All the Conservative members of the Legislature elected by the people, and so declared by the Con servative Committee, will assemble in New Orleans and organize the Legisla ture. The have a large majority in both branches, including those Conservative BenatorB elected two years ago, who wera then counted out by the Lynch Board. The Legislature, thus organized, will no doubt recognize McEnery as Governor. Kellogg, having no considerable popular support (for many of the negroes and even some of the white Radicals are opposed to him) will of oourso call on Gen. Grant for support—indeed he has already asked for Federal troops to be placed in the State House—aud then we ahull no doubt have A repetition of the programme of January, UEOKPIA LUNATIC ASYLUM. Wo have been favored with peeef sheets the annual report of tho frttffcggaf this institution—-Jae. F. Booeuiap, Presi dent, John Hammond, Secretary, nod L. N. Whittle, R. L. Mott and Wm. Phillips. The report etatee that the, official organi sation or the inetotion ia good, its inter nal management effleient, and its affaire conducted with a just owl reasonable economy. The asylum now contains five hundred and ninety-five patients. Its ca- paoity ia limited to els hundred. Ite main tenance for the year joat dosing has cost $106,000, and the estimate for I875,whieh the Legislature is asked to appropriate, $116,800. This includes tho expense of some considerable repairs rendered necessary by the present condition of tbo building*, also other improvements that are highly desirable. The amount of $0,- 606.36 was received this year from pay patients, and $2,908.60 from the sale of Florida warrants, given for the mainte nance of patients from Florida. The treasury holds $3,500 more of Florida warrants given for the same purpose. The asylum has s claim for shoot $9,400 against the HUte of Alabama for Alabama patients admitted to the asylum, but the Governor of Alabama haviog declined to pay it, application will be made to the Legislature of that Htate. We learu privately that under the di rection of the present Board of Trustees great saving has been effected in the expenses of the asylum by the raining of vegetables in its own garden and the making available of all its resources. A very close, observing and discriminating old Htate official remarked to ua that the present Trustees are the best men for the position that could have been selected. The Trustees second a recommenda tion of the Superintendent and Resident Physician that a separate homo and suita ble instruction for the idiot class be pro vided whenever, in the judgment Of the Legislature, the financial condition of the Htate will justify it—bo as to educate the f eeblc iutelleot of this class aud make it to some extent self-supporting. Tho large number of patients taken care of by it is sufficient proof of the grout utility and benefit of this Htate in stitution. -It relieved many homes of a burden of care and watchfulness which they are not able to bear, and provides the only suitable asylum for a large class of unfortuuates who must bo taken care COLUMBUS SjJNDAY ENQUIRER: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 27, 1874.

He regards uegro suffrage as a failure aud au evil, and the uogroes as s curt# to the eouotry. He admits that the Government has uo right under the constitution to force the ne groes to leave the country, but contends that it can do so as a war measure. “Uncle Haudy” is now a Federal office holder. He is, it will be seen, on the same liue with Jobu W.

Special to the At’anta Herell.] Mobile, December 24.—The shock to the community, yesterday, on hearing the news of the fatal duel at, or near Grand Bay Station, was so great aud so sudden, that we refrained from telegraphing you nntil we oould give a statement of facts, whioh we send without comment, for rea sons obvious at this time.. The duel took plaoe yesterday morning St 11:45, on the State liue, the weapons n»-ed being dueling pistols, fifteen puces. The toss for position wsa woo by Captain P. M. Murphy, for Gol. Lvv—the word by Col. J. M. Williams, for Mr. Tardy. At first fire Mr. Turdy fell, shot through the right side, on a liue with the heart, and died almost instantly. The origin and details of this unhappy affair explain themselves sufficiently iu the following; Mobile, Deo. 21, 1874. Mr. B. D. Lay: Sir—Your attempt to strike me this morning demands such an apology or other satisfaction as is usual among gentlemen. This will be banded to you by my friend Col. James M. Wil liams, who will receive any commnuica- tion yon may desire to make. Your ob't servant, [Signed.] A. H. Tardy. Mobile, Ala.* Dec. 21,1874. Mr. A. H. Tardy: Sir—Your note of this date, at 3:85 p. m., by Col. J. M. Williams is before me. You state therein that “your attempt to strike me this morning demands an apology,” etc. I cau only say sir, my attempt, as you are pleased to term it, was made upon what I conceive to be a most excellent reason, natuoly: I had reason to believe, and I believe, that you were the author of the anonymous communication pub lished in the Deoember number of the Spectator, and signod “Gulf City,” whioh article, I assure you, sir, has caused me great grief and chagrin ; end which I be- ieve fully merited the punishment I in flicted npon you. If this explanation should not prove satisfactory to yon, I then refer you to my friend Capt. P. M. Murphy, who will arrange with your friend any further pre liminaries which you may desire. 1 am, sir, respectfully, Your obedient servant, Bigned Ben/. D. Lay. Delivered by Csptain Murphy to Col.

I observe with regret that instead of tendering the frank apology expected, it is devoted to a justification of the assanlt whioh has brought on this oorrespondenc. Permit me to call your attention to the fact that a personal indignity cannot be justified among gentlemen, the exoellent reason for giving a blow would neoeRsarily be an excellent reason upon the part of the gen tleman assaulted to reoeive it without re sentment, so long therefore an the affront remains we cannot enter upon a discus- sion of the matters urged by Col. Lay in explanation of the assault. Respectfully yonr ob’t servant, Signed James M. Williams. To Captain P. M Murphy. Mobile, December 22, 1874. Col. J. M.

A oompauy with a very volu minous charter und a long title—viz: The Grangers' Life rad Health Ineuranoe Company—ie ou the tapie, with *$100,000 eubaoribed capital. The capital ie to be $11.0,000 in every State and Territory, or total of $4,600,000. The author of this acheiue ia Dr. Bejumtn D. I.uy, who is ■he actuary of the company. Dr. Lay h .a been connected, as general agent, with a large unrulier of life insurance compa nies—the National, of the United States, being the last, I believe. Heis probably belter known a* one of the principal character*" in a lively hook published by £ J.

The charter provide* that tho Presi dent, Actuary, Seoretary and Manager •hell each receive a aatatj of $8 000 per annum.

The manager of thocom- pauy is one of the best insurance aoliei- toro in thi* State, aud has been general ageut, within the lest two years, of the jEtna Life, Waahington Life, New York, •ud Louisiana Equitable, of New Or leans. The Grangers’ Life end Health Company will probably be a haven for bl 0ol. Lay took offence at the above and intuited Sir. Tardy, th# writer, when he acknowledged the euthorshlp. The man ner of the inanlt and what grew out of it, was published in our telegraphic columns yesterday, THE DEAD MAN. We learn from many friend* of Alexis H. Tardy, the unfortunate victim of Col.
