Tubbs is on one atreot in Boston a block of thirteen houses. One is occu pied by a maiden lady, and twolro widows of large wealth oconpy tho ether palatial residences. Tbb lata Tronsuror of Egypt had an in come of $2,000,000 por year, and his great anxiety was to spend every dollar of it. He onco burned up $8,000 to balance hia aooonnt. Tub stockholders of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia ltailroad have adopted resolutions asking their officers to discontinue running trains at least dur ing twolve hours on Sunday. Okn. J. W. Uuobbx, of Lexington, Kentucky, died at that place Sunday Ha commanded the Sixth Kentuoky cav alry in the late war, and served under Gen. Joseph Wheeler and Gen. John H. Morgan. Nbw Yobk has a strest-oleaniog foroe of elevon hundred men. This seems a pretty large number; but it should bo roc olleeled—and is not likely to be forgotten by those who have been there—that Now York is an exceptionally dirty city. A score of dispatches from Louisians ltepublioans are in tho Democrats' hands. Oue, from a very high offioial, tells Chan dlor that State will be all right, and says the Democrat have about 8,0(H) majority, and that “it will take big money to fix tbinga." A mam bronght in one wagon to Nash ville on the Utb, COO rabbits caught by hand in the deep enow in Itoberson eoun- ty Toun. They were unable to run in the enow, end were all pieked np within a radius of two miles. They had beon the destruction of many orchards. Thb death of an orange tree at Ver aailles, which wea in its four hundred and fifty-fifth year, is annonnoed. It was known by tbs name of Grand Bourbon. In the year 1421 the Quoen of Navarre gave her gardner the seed at Pampelaaa. Its hoad waa sovoutoen yards in circum ference. A bhowkb of greyiah dnat and aabos, that fall in various parts of Sweden and Norway some months since, has been shown to oorne from a volcano in Iceland. Tbs gales of high northern latitudes must be espeble of what, in tho ourrent slang of literary oritioism, is oallod “sustained •Gort;” which in the one osae as in the other is, we suppose, only long-winded. osm. Thb legaoy whioli Vaudorbilt loft to tho Uev. Dr. Ohas. F. Deems has not made him happy. Ha complained to his church the other day of the people who are boring him for money, which ho never gives away, and announoed that if he were not let alone he wuuld fiy from the oity. The Uev. Dr. Deems onrued the legeey which Vanderbilt left him, end, as he needs it for himself, he means to keep it. Thb Louisville Courier-Journal draws a parallel lietween the Democratic upris ing on the 8th of Jaunary and tho peti tions which the American oolonioa aout to the British throne. Goucorniug an ap peal to arms, it Bays that “there is a band of conspirators at the present moment aieroiaiug the powers of govornuont, ready to push us to that last extremity if they discover any probability of submis sion.” Tub oonteat between tbe trustees of tho Liek estate and the heirs lias boon finally arranged. John It., a natural sou of James Liok, reoeives $583,000, from whioh he pays $72,000 to other heirs, in various amounts. This leaves the trus tees in a position to oarry out the condi tions of the trust deed, and gives clear ti tle to all real estate iacluded in tho trust. The veins of the property involved is es timated at $3,300,000. Tubub is a prospeot before Chamber- lain of being tried for libel agaiuat the people of South Carolina. J udgo Cooke, of Abbeville oounty,in ehsrging the grand jury the other day, referred to Chamber lain's reiterated charge that there existed, in Abbeville oounty, rifle elubs and armed bands of a lawless end murderous charac ter. It was the duty he said, for the grand jury to investigate these ohargos, and if they found them to he untrue, tho jury’a duty was to present them as “false, defamatory and libelous." Thb oity government of New.Oeleans, by formal resolution, acknowledged Nioh- oll’a State government. Nearly all the also ted and returned liepublicau officials in the parishes havo done the same. The Governors of Texas and Mississippi also have recognized the NioboH’s government. The negroes in the ltadioal rump Legis lature have abandoned Antoine for Sena tor for the short term, under Packard's instructions. Packard now looks to War- month to hold the House together, and in return pledges Warmouth the short Senatorial term. The telegrams from Oolleotor Casey are to the effect that he waa the governing infinenoe that brought about Cameron’s telegram to Augnr. —Quite a number of young men left Coweta tbit week for Texts. HONOR WIIEtk IT BKLOSOI. Tbe ardent friends of Mr. Hill, who de sire to make him Senator assume to regard him as the aavior of Georgia and the sole redeemor of the Slate from carpet-bag and military rale. Such a olaim ia wholly unsupported by proof, and entirely erro neous in foot. If there be one man to whom Georgia is more indebted than another for her deliverenoe from Itadioal- ism, that man is A. It. Lamar, now Solic itor General of tho Savannah Circuit. Long before Mr. Hill commenced writing his “notes on the situation,” Mr. Lamar, then editor of tbe Columbus .Sun, advoca ted and onforcod with all his brilliancy and power the bold, uncompromising oonrse whioh his Htate adopted,and whioh has led to her present prostigo and pros perity. True courage, physical and moral, was then required to proclaim suoh a policy and nrge it on the people. The revolution bad just closed; Federal troops were scouring the conntry and garriason ing every village and oity. Offieors at tempted to ran rough-shod over tbe people, and satrapies wore established all over tho country. Tho undanoted editor was not to bo influenced by fears or favor, by tbo promise of rewards or the tcirora of in timidation. Ito was called an extremist in tboso days, hut Georgia at the present time ia controlled by the very principles whioh the extremists nrgod with such foroe and vigor, and animatod tbo people when hopoa were faint and the futnro gloomy. We were in a position to know that Mr. Lamar was frequently notified by the Federal headquarters at Atlanta to desist or thoy would suppress tbo paper, and tbo military were then supreme, and did whit they pleased without question. Their menaces had no terror for him. Probably for a few days he would be quiet, when again bo would launch his arrows, dipped in cauBtic, at those who were en- doavnring to throttle his native Htate, and every shaft told with terrible effeet. The higher the authority the more direct was the polished satire and keen cutting ridioale. (Ion. Mesde, himself did not esospo ths well-aimed shot. Ths adventurers and traitors were rasped with the sharpest in. veotivo, of which Mr. Lamar ia a master. Gen. Meade removed him from the posi tion of county aolieitor to whioh he had been eleoted by the people. The attaoka wore renewed with bitterest force. Tho plan advooatod,, was to aooept nothing which the Federate desired unless under compulsion, and that Democrats must rule Georgia. Huoh extremists created and retained public opinion and encour aged the week end desparing to ho strong, and determined; never admit dofoat, bnt press on defiantly aud dare to maintain rights regardless of eonseqnonooa. Other papers took tho same grounds, afterwards leading men, inoluding Mr. Ilill, ojught up the call, all fell into lino, aud Georgia was redeemed by the extremists, ehief among whom was Mr. Lamar. Tho Hun, odited by him, lod the forees of Georgia, and if individual credit is to be given, the honor must bo awardod him. Counted among tho so-called extremists, were ox-Goveru- or Smith, Gen. Uonning, Judge Craw ford, Cote. Blandford,Thornton, Chappell, aud others who wero Lamar's counsellors and backers. This was long before Mr. Hill sounded his clarion note and joined in the poliey which has ro-eatablished States rights in Georgia—which polioy he abandoned at the Delano banqnet, and has since re-assumed, because political ruin awaited him if he did not. RAILROAD PAtSXtl. It ia really amusing to read tho opinions of the editors on the late aetion of the Georgia ltailroad direotors in removing altogether from its books the free list, ltoally, wo have not yet read an editorial whioh does not approve tho new rale, and notably among the writers are some who nro always on tho wing and flaunt oftenest the posses into the faces of conductors. New these sumo gentlemen step to the front, proclaim the independence of the presa, aud that those who oontrol its col umns should noither give nor ask favors- It is all very funny, especially when we feel and know tbe writer ia not expressing hia real sentiments. Now, we are in favor of free posses. We like to ride sometimes, and if a railroad allows us to do it for nothiug, we eertaiuly will not bo guilty of tbe unutterable folly of insisting on paying. An nual, or oven a trip tioket, is a comfortable thing to foci when funds are low and tho conductor is approaching. We say again, we like them. They are good things to have aronud,no matter how rieh a fellow is. We are downright sorry (he business is to coase. We hope our roads won't do it. That mau must be a ohesp individual who oan ho bought with a railroad tiokot. Our platfprm is to take what is offered, aud if the company does what we deem unjust or unreasonable lo our poople we will condemn ns promptly as we will praiso if there bo anything comiuoudablo. A tioket, as we havo ob served, is a good thing. We liko to have them, and do not mean to refuse those seut us by any eorporatiou. We have no doubt regarding the other brethren of the quill, who now are so righteously indig usut, or cautiously commendatory, doing the same thing. Anotheb Score for Tilden.—The Dem ocrats won another victo ry this week in Florida. The Democrats were pursuing their case before Judge White of Iho Circuit Court involving the right to foroe a recauvsss of the electoral vote. The ltepublioans entered a demur er tkst their electors having mot aud de clared tho result according to legal forms, the Court has nothing to do with the sub- jeot. The Court overruled the demurrer, and proceedings went on. Tbe appeal will go to the Supreme Court on the de murrer immediately, and no doubt the same Court will have to review the decis ion of Judge White, no matter whet that may be. —Tbe State Board of Health have made an elaborate report, and are of the opin ion yellow fever waa imported into Sa vannah and Brnnswiek from Havana. Tho Board are firmly oonvinoed that with a proper regard to the laws of health in oonneotion with an enlightened system of external and internal hygieue, Savannah or Georgia should never again be visited - by so desolating a scourge. GOT. MHITH. Hinoe the publication of his message to the Legislature be has grown immensely in this section. The feet of his being from Celombns, and ths prestige of obtaining tbe United States Senator from this coun ty, and the western portion of the Stale ia having a powerful inflneneo in his favor. In this county we believe, if left to a vote, fully three fourths of the votes would be polled for him. Ilia adminis tration has been the exemplification of houesty snd a devotion to tho best inter est of Georgia. He rose from tho people and is one of thorn. He is a man of ability and sterling integrity and a keen lawyer, who would proudly illustrate his State iu the debates of the Senate, where be would bo the peor of any. He has judgment, and knows how not to injure the oauso of hte people by inconsiderate talk. He can also always he relied on, aa he is one who will not pursue a vagary to advance bis personal alma, or gratify his ambition. He is an orator and a politi cian iu whose fidelity tbo utmost reliance can be placed, for he has been thoroughly tested on the battle field and iu eivil lifo, and Dover yet hag he beon found wanting. Tbo farming interests are especially strong for him, and ho is a favorite among all oIssbcr. Ex-Gov. Brown and Hon. B. II. Hill.— The Now York Tribune, Jay Gould’H rabid ltepubliean paper, greatly admires the coursa of Hon. II. II. Ilill, while it ap pears thoroughly disgusted with Governor Brown's late letter on national affairs. Tho “young editor,” as tho Now York Bun oalls him, says Governor Brown’i letter ought “to secure for him a promi nent place in Mr. B. U. Hill’s category of ten thousand fools.” Has it not come to a delightful condition when Mr. Hill wins praises from every extreme Bepubli- ean press? He eertaiuly cannot have invited thoir admiration by devotion to tho Bouth. It is proof positive that the striotnres on him in the South wero jnst and deserved—iu other words that Mr. Hill was very impolitio, to say the least. Governor Brown’s letter refleated tbe views of nearly every Democrat in Geor gia; Mr. Hill’s did not. The Itepublicans praise Hill and condemn Brown. Ilinc ilia lachrymal. This ia another of tbe oases in which Mr. Hill displayed his lack of judgment. LUNATIC ASYLUM. There are now G04 pationts, 100 -of whom were received last year—white males 2G3, white femalos 253; colored males 43, colored females 4. Of theso 40G are lunatics, 70 idiots and 5G epilep tics. In 187G, 10 wore discharged cured, 13 greatly improved, 7 removed by friends considerably improved, and G no better, escaped and 44 died. Tho dead are mainly from tbs epileptio and paralytic olass. Seventy-eight applications wero refused for want of room. The trustoes want additional appropriations to provide for 125 more patients. Tbe expenditures last year were $10,000 less than appropri ations. Speoisl amounts were given for introduction of water works. Tbe estimates for the current year, baaed upon tbe preaenoe of COO patients, ere $37,500. For one hundred more, an addition of fourteen par cent, would bo required. The superintendent reoeives $2,500 salary; first assistant physician, $2,000; second assistant, $1,800; chief steward, $2,000; assistant steward, $1,000; apoth ecary, $1,000; obaplain, $500; matron, $900; eto. The'gardener, Mr. William Humphries, reports tbe market value of vegetables raised to be $9,414.50. The ohaplsio, Itev. J. H. Allen, in his report, says, “My counsel aud prayers are often Bought by many of the patients, who often manifest more deep concern iu tho mattor of their soul's welfare than even pious sane persona. Singing exer cises also seem to add much to the real pleasure and profit of tho patients.” ORDBRIA ItTI. —Many people from Upson oounty hove emigrated. —Mr. F. Bowdre Phinixy aud Mr. W. B.

Arthur Hood, of Bendolph, in troduced a long series of raaolotions in regard to the eleotion of Tilden snd tbe duty of Congress in declaring the vote, whioh were referred to the Committee on the Itepublio. These resolutions are based on Governor Bobinson’s message in New York, and have the sanotioa of the lead ing men. —The Telegraph and Messenger says the prevailing sentiment in the Georgia Legislature ia to sell tbe Maoon A Bruns wick Railroad. The highest priee ever offered for it was $900,000, when it was in better order than now. Brnnswiok has appealed to Gov. Colquitt to have one of tho receivers. The three now in oharge are residents of Maoon. ALABAMA NRWff. Tue lettor of General McClellan to iho meeting held in Washington on tho 8th lost, will be heartily iudorsed by Demo crats all over tbe tend. He declares that “it is of leas importance to our futnro who shall bo deolared eleoted than that tbo re sult shall be roaobed iu an honest amt constitutional way.” He Bays that should tho result of the Congressional invostiga- lious now iu progress provo that the Dem ocratic belief that Tilden has been elected ia not well founded, “we must quiotly ac- copt the result. Cu tho other hand, should these investigations confirm our convic tions, os we bolieva they will, then, while never ouraelvea overstepping the limits uf our great bulwarks, tho Constitution aud the tews, and using vigorously and firmly every power they give us, wo should openly deolare that no Democrat in the land will acquiesce in a decision reached by chicanery, fraud or force,” The ltev. Father Hanson (Unde Tom) had a reeeptiou at Brighton, Eagland, December Gth, at which he related his ex perience. He narrated hte interview with the Archbishop of Canterbury, and told how bis grace quietly passed to him a fifty pouud note. At the dose of hia remarks an Amerioan iu the audience eskod him if he bad ever reooived any money from Mrs. Stone, or the Amerioan or the British publishers of the book of whioh he was the leading charaoter. He said, emphat ically, “Not a sixpence.” The Archbishop asked Unde Tom at what univorsity ho graduated. His reply was, “The uni versity of adversity.” His grace expressed astonishment that Unde Turn spoke En glish, and asked him where be learned it.
