A. B. Calhoun,
Proprietor.
The public debt statement of the Treas
ury Department shows that the debt of
the United States increased $», 059,907
during the month of Deoember, 1874.
The latest reports from Washington
concerning the Senate's Finance bill are
to the effect that it will pass the House
without material amendment—the specie
resumption members accepting it as "tbe
best they can get."
The Tennessee Legislatere a ,niet on Mon
day. A dispatch of Tnesday from Nash
ville to the Chattanooga Tim** says that
ex-Preaident Johnson is the atrongest
single candidate for United States Sena
tor, but that all the other candidates will
combine against him, and it is as yet im
possible to say on whom.
The New York Herald sarcastically ad
vises Geo. Grant to resign tbo Presidency
and go to Europe. It says that he would
by this act make himself one of the most
popular men in the United States, and
promises that it "will conduce greatly to
the benefit of his beloved country; that
it will be received with acclamations by
the people of both partios, and that, if he
desires it, the Chamber of Commerce of
New York will give him a dinner in tokeu
of its high appreciation of bia oourae."
, Atlanta.— Reports of the city officers
•how that the receipts of the municipal
government of Atlanta for the
year just dosed, from all sources,
wore $780,148.4(1, and the dis
bursements for the same period $(597,-
801.90. The bonded debt of the city is
$1,441,900, besides $800,000 of water
works bonds. Tho floating debt is now
$821,724. The city owns $000,000
railroad stook, $880,000 in real estato,
$0(5,000 in gas stock, aud otlior property
and notes, amounting in all to $7,04(5,000,
During last year officers' salaries cost
$(57,570.50, public buildings $44,0(52.88,
streets and bridges $8K,502.11, fire com
panies $0,125, gas and fixtures $22,(570,

A labor Democratic majority in the
next House of Representatives having
already been secured, tbe lUdieal Con
gressmen are now concerned about the
possible operation of a luw which thsy
passed in 18(55. That law provides that
when the Senate and House meet together
to count the Electoral votes, tho vote of
no State shall be cuuutoj to which objec
tion is raised and the objection sustained
by either House. Ho long as the Radicals
had majorities in both hranohos this wns
a safe law for them, iiut at tho last
Presidential election the votes of st least
two States—Louis! •«na aud Arkansas—
would have been olj u-ted to by the Dem
ocrats if either House would have sus
tained tho objection aud it could have af
fected the result. Roth of those Htntca
gave large majorities for tho Greeley
tioket, but were "returned" for Grant.
It may be that iu the election of
187<> the UAdioals may "carry" some
Houthorn Htatos only io the way in which
they carried Louisiana and Arkansas in
1872, and then the Democratic House of
Representatives would sustain an objec
tion to them. Therefore it is now pro
posed to repoal the law of 18(55. Perhaps
it may be best to repeal it, to preveut tho
raiaiug of frivolon* objections. Rut the
oourae of the Radical party shows that
they want the law when they can use
It for party advantage, but are afraid of
it when their opponents are in a condition
to brofit by it too.
A lrttks from Cairo, Egypt, to the New
York Herald, gives au acoount of tho
visit of Lieutonaut-Colonel Long, late of
one of our Houthorn States, to the Equa
torial Provinces of Egypt. Colonel Long
s second in command to Colouol Gordon,
the English offloer who heads tho Egyp
tian expedition to the upper waters of the
Nile, and he bus beeu iu tho Egypt iau
servioo about five years. From Gondo-
kora, Colonel Oordou sent Colonel Long,
with n small force, to tho "unknown
country" Uganda. After a difficult mareh
of fifty-eight dayH, he reached Uganda and
had au audieuce with King Mteasi, au
African potentato with a hundred wives.
During the reception, at a signal
from the Kiug, thirty human beings
were suddenly executed before
the eyes of Col. Long—a common prac
tice on such occasions, adopted to impress
the visitor with au idea of the power of
the King of Uganda, but one which Dr.
Livingstone denied that they resorted to.
Tho King promised Long to comply with
the request of the Viceroy, which related
only to tho route of the ivory trade.
Returning by way of the river, in canoes,
Col. Longa party was attacked by 400
men of King Kaba of Uuyoro, but de
feated thorn with a loss of 80, sustaining
no loss himself. He returned to Gondo-
koro ou the 18ih of October, and wuh af
fectionately received by Col. Gordon, who
had given him up for lost.
—Bryant Kennedy, a Georgia negro,
recently returned to this State from Con
ueotieut, where he had beeu living for
some time. He was followed to Liberty
county by a colored girl of Con
necticut, with whom he had been
intimate. Hho found Bryant at
his father's house, and he walked
from the house with her, aud when they
had proceeded a short distance ha shot
her Just over the eye with a pistol. The
ball glanced, and she screamed aud ran,
he pursuing. Tho people iu the bouse,
bearing the noiae, came out, when Ken
nedy turned back aud immediately after
wards shot and ki'led himself.
—The Maoon Telegraph is informed
that the dedication of the Pio Nemo Col
lege end the unveiling of the statue tent
by tbe Pope to that institution will take
place ou Huuday, January 13.
TOLERANCE.
Tolerance of the candid convictions of
others is an evidenc i of intellectual cul
ture, and is to the head what oharity is to
the heart. Intolerance and prejudice are
tbe make of little minds, and contracted
tympathie* and the companions and die
tiuguishiBg peculiarities of little flon'ed
men, with selfish hearts, who imagine tbe
world was created for them, and that the
horiaon bounding their home, embraces
all worth thinking of. Human nature is
about the same the world over, and save
the eolor of the akin, there is little to dis
tinguish the savages of any raoe. Tbe
same may be said of tha feelings of peo
ple laying claims to a higher cuUure, the
true work of a broad culture is tolerance.
By tolerance we do not mean that we are
quietly to submit to tbe teachings op
posed to the laws of God and mao, no
matter how earnest their advocates may
be. This would be weakness—criminal
weakness; but where inen entertain
views so earnestly as to make sacrifices for
them, it behooves us to consider them
through the eyes of charity. Our
eonntry as a whole lays clsima to a high
civilization, and the cltims are not
groundless, if we contrast our progress in
morality and tbe applied acienoea with
tboae of other nations. Yet it is possible
that we give ourselves oredit for merits
whioh we do not actually possess. Tbe
history of the Union for the lest forty
years is the reoord of blind intolerance,
dignified nnder tbe name of "party fealty"
or "patriotism." It wss this intolerance
the child of criminal ignorance, that sent
a million of tbe flower of the land into
untimely graves, and mortgaged every
acre of the Republic with an inenbus of
debt that to-day lies heavy upon her.
Wheh wo rend the speeches of the ro-
oalled statesmen North and Houtb, made
fourteen years sgo, wo are amazed, with
the history of the time that has elapRed
before us, to think the people so willing
ly bent their necks to the yokes of such
men. The war taught the soldiers, actu
ally eugaged, tolerance for each othor’s
antagonistic views, aud respect for their
motives, but beyond increasing the geo
graphical knowledge of the balance
of tho people, it is questionable
if it increased their toleranoo or
genorosity. It was reasonable to sup
pose the years of miscalled peace would
have produced a healthier tone in public
opinion, and it has, still the recent excite
ment in Louisiana, which has spread
through tho Union, shows the peaco is
delusive, and that wo are on a volcanos,
that at any moment may hurst out with
battlo heat and blood-red fury. Tbe de
plorable condition of Louisiana has
touched every heart, and (he fall elections
showed the pooplo of every State rising
to rebuke the cruel oppression. The
generosity of the Repuhlio was stirred as
much by Louisiana’s heroic patience as
was its iudignatiou kindled at hor suffer
ings. Passion, aud its soquenoo thought-
lossness are now stirring tbe people to
direct opposition, through an irresponsible
press and the boistrous tongues of dema
gogues. Were there no other means
at hand to remody au insuffera
ble evil, or an unendurable bond
age than an appeal to arms,
the world would sustain the course and
applaud the choice that preferred death
to slavory, political or physioal. But were
such means adopted, when a better remedy
was at hand, tbe sympathy would change
aud the verdict would be different. To
avenge a wroug by violenoe is to forfeit
our rights to justice in the courts.
Every able journal North and Booth is
raising its voiee against the courso of the
Administration iu Louisiana, and the peo
ple in their iudignatiou, deeming Lonisi-
aua helpless, are gathering to rebuke the
men who have dared to koep a free State
of this Republic's in chains with Federal
bayonets at her famished breast. This
feeling will culminate in tbe downfall of
the Administration, and Louisiana will be
free, but lot her riso at this time and by a
thoughtless not attempt to assert herself
by an appeal to arms, and oho will fall
into the trap, to fiud the current of popu
lar feeling turning against hor. Her re
demption must be bloodies*, aud tho hour
of her liberation is uearing. The fourth
of Mareb next will see a Congress iu pow
er elected largely by the story of her
wrougs, and this Congress will control
the mau who controls tho bayonets of the
Republic. Tolerance aud putieuoe, aud
next year the story of those wrongs will
be still fresh, and theu the people will
rise to place another party in power aud
to show to the world that the Union is iu
truth at peaoe, aud prepared with greater
toleration between all sections to outer ou
tbe second century of her existeuoo.

POLITICAL DEMORALISATION.
Perhaps no mote convincing proof of
the political corruption that now extends
over the whole couutry could bo adduced
than has beeu revealed in New York,
whero aeveral of the State officers eloct
and about half of the members of the
Legislature could not take tbe oath that
they had uot resorted to bribery to secure
their election. This is a moat dishonor
able exhibit, aud one whicb only a few
years ago would have startled and excited
tho couutry. Now it will hardly occasion
wonder. The truth in that political houos-
ty and integrity are now the exeeptions
rather than the rule. In cases where somo
political oxcitement does not serve to
draw party lines, the longest purse carries
the elections. Capacity aud private worth
aro of no value in contests for office or
honor. Party feeling alone breaks the
power of the purse, and for this reason
great political excitements may be healthy,
even though attended by violenoe and
disorder. In the storm of party passion
right and justice may sometimes triumph.
Iu the prevalence of corruption, seltiah-
uesa aud venality alone obtain sway, and
rule by the plunder of tbe people and the
ruin of their business interests.
Nor it this rule of corruption oonfied
to popular elections. It controls legisla
tion and influences legislators. The
‘Credit Mobilier" scandal, involving the
integrity of a number of Congressmen; is
yet fresh in tbo minds of the people.
Another mine of corruption, equally
great, has been opened by the "Pacific
Mail" investigation, but it is not fully ex-
the Government in the way of subsidies
was need in buying up Democratic mem
bers of the 4 2d Congrees, and $150,000
in buying Radical members. By far tbe
larger portion of the money said to have
been spent in this way bus not yet been
traced to individual members, aud thero
is as yet no telling which political party
will be shown to have received the largest
share of the spoils. Tbe startling fact
confronts us, that probably quite a mil
lion of dollars waa used to bribe members
of Congress to vote money from the pub
lic treasury, and that in reality a num
ber of tbe members were voting it into
their own pockets as a consideration for
their support of tho appropriation!
These common practices indicate that
tbia country is now passing through a
crisis common to all republics and dan
gerous to the liberties of all. It is the
epoch of corruption in public and private
life. All of our political troubles are
traceable to the greed for office and plun
der which leads to such acta as thoso to
whioh we have referred. The virtue nnd
honesty of the whole people must be ral
lied to rebuke and defeat it, or we cun
never have good government again.
Tub New Orleans papers of Wednesday
report great excitement in the city on
Tuesday, consequent upon Geucral Sheri
dan's "banditti" dispatch to the Heoretary
of War, Tbo people gntherod in groups
all over the city, discussing tho matter
and expressing their indignation at the
falsehoods and calumnies contained in tho
dispatch. Meetings of tho Cotton Ex
change, the Cbaiuher of Commerce,
the Merchants' Exchange, and of
tho Northern and Western men iu the
city, were held to declare tbo dispatch a
false and mischievous representation of
tbe sentiments aud conduct of the p oplo.
We have no room to copy any of tho reso
lutions adopted, and only select the fol
lowing remark of Mr. Johu A. Thomp
son, of New York, made at tbe meeting
of Northern and Western men, as a speci
men of the language used. Mr. Thomp
son was a Federal soldier, who lost a leg
in the late civil war. lie said : “
(ion. Grant has spoken the language of
a despot with bayonets ; and it is but a
repetition of the day wbeu France entored
upon despotism from republicanism, with
out the shedding of u drop of blood.
Justice, honor and equity lisve hero been
trampledjunder foot by (he un itary, and
who can tell but this tidal wAveof des
potism may yet sweep Massachusetts, nnd
roll on its course to Vermont ? If this
was wliat. he fought for when he fought
for tho Union, then the loss of his leg was
ridiculously absurd, and on the tomb of
every soldior who died for tho Union tho
word "fool" should be insorihed. Thero
is an old Latin adage tb«t "if a mon tells
a lie aud sticks to it steadily, it will almost
become the truth.” Only m this way can
Gen. Hheridan’s dispatches over become
truth. Louisisua is worae off thuu Houtb
Carolina, where a few days sgo I saw six
county treasurers gambling away tho peo
ple’s money, nnd the people here are quiet,
peaceful and orderly.
Eucalypina Tree** an a Miislitcun
Speculation.
The Los Angelos Herald records the
fact that a company has been formed in
that city for the purpose of raising eu
calyptus tr*os for fuel aud manufacturing
purposes. Two hundred acres of land
have been secured within a mile, on winch
eucalyptus trees only four and a half
years old from seed are now growing,
whioh measure sixteen inches iu diame
ter aud aro forty feet high. It is estimat
ed that each one of these trees is worth
one dollar for fuel, and more for manu
facturing purposes. Forrestors calculate
that aix hundred of the->e trees cm bo
grown to the acre, aud it requires no
great calculation to show how profitable
such a business may bo itisde. The com
pany organized in Los Angelos propose
purchasing land at thirty dollars per acre,
and tho cost of seed, Ac., w 11 probably
average twenty-five cents per tree. Tho
total for six hundred trees and tbe acre of
land will thus reach about one hundred
and eighty dollars, or say two hundred
dollars. At the end of four years, sup
posing the trees to succeed as (lie aver
age do, the timber will be worth six hun
dred dollars. And ns these trees stump
aud sprout rapidly, another such yield of
timber may be expected in four years
more.
A ('alirarNla Lien Curries Off a
Child.
The Grass Valley (Cal.) Union tells this
story : "Home time since u resident of
Grass Valley had occasion to go to Siski
you county, and while traveling over Ml.
Hlmsta he saw four large California lions.
Not knowing much of their savage charac
teristics, he stopped bis horse and gazed
at them. They looked at him for somo
time aud theu turned and slowly trotted
away. He had no weapons, aud hid they
been hungry ho would not have returned
to tell his experience. When ho came to
a stopping place that night he told of li
adventure, when one of the resi-
dents there told him that one
those lions lud a short time
fore stolen a child uuder the following
circumstances : The mother of the child
had occasion lo do some washing, and for
this purpose hail to go into tho enclosure
that surrounded the back door. Hho
placed the child—a girl about eight eon
months old—ou tho ground, and gave it
some play-things to amuse itself with
while she busied herself with tho work,
with her back to the child. A few miu-
utos after this she heard a scream from
the child, and turned just in time to
a full-growu California lion leaping over
the fenco with tho unfortunate child in
its mouth. The mother fainted, aud, no
ono olso being near, she lay in this condi
tiou for some time. When she recovered,
an alarm was raised and pursuit made, but
no trace could be fonnd of the lost child."
A Nice Opening for a Young; IMnn.
The times aro so hard nnd thero aro so
many men out of w. rk, that I think 1
ought to moution that I know of a vacant
situation for which an able-bodied young
iuau is wanted. The official tiger-killer of
the Madras government has beeu com
pelled to give up the business on account
of a misunderstanding between himself
and a tiger, during which tho tiger, not
coinciding with his views, inadvertantly
ate him.
The positiou, therefore, is opeu to a
roan who is willing and active aud honest,
and who doesn’t mind being occasionally
bitten iu half. A man who don’t digest wull
after ho is eaten would probably annoy the
tiger more, but the Madras government
will not insist upon this if other qualifi
cations exist. Familiarity with the habits
of tigers, I believe, is uot considered nec
essary, af there is uevor any difficulty in
getting acquainted with the animals when
you are once on the grouud. They
