Wrong-doing cer tainly brings its own punishment. It produces its legitimate effects, as surely as the cold of winter brings death to ve getation. The New York World, of the 28th De cember, commenting on Tweed’s great fall, says: “Except Louis Napoleon’s, Tweed’s is perhaps tho most sudden and impressive fall that has happened in our time. Last winter and the winter before, this for saken and humiliated man was omnipo tent in our State and city politics. He dictated the legislation of the most im portant State in the Union, moulding it to his will, and shaping it as he pleased. His influence was quite as great over the Republican as over the Democratic mem bers. In the government of this great city he was an autocrat. His political influence was reinforced by the influence of great but ill-gotten wealth. And now this powerful man, whose vulgar success dazzled so many vulgar followers, is a skulking fugitive from justice! He is like the foolish man described in the gos pel who built his house upon the sand. ‘ And tho winds blew, and the floods come, and beat upon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.” »-•-< The Auditing Board Investiga tion. The committee appointed by the Leg islature at its late session to investigate the conduct of the Auditing Board of the Western and Atlantic Railroad -meets at the Capitol this morning. The committee consists of Hons. L. C. Hoyle, of Dawson, and John A. Jervis, of Morgantown, on the part of the Sen ate; and John W. Wofford, of Bartow; W. J. Head, of Haralson, and J. H. Woodward, of Dooley, on the part of the House. Mr. Hoyle is chairman. Tho Bnllock Legislature, in leasing out the State Road, provided that the florting debts or liabilities of the road should be paid out of the Treasury of the State, authorizing the Governor to draw his warrant upon the Treasury for ^hat purpose, and having the following proviso: jProvided, That the Governor shall, in no case, draw his warrant on the Treasury in favor of any such claimaut, for any unliquidated de mand, until tho claim is audited and affirmed by a Board of three Commis sioners, to consist of Benjamin Conley, Dawson A. Walker and George Hillyer, Esq’rs, or a majority of them; * * * but no claim shall, in any event, be al lowed by said Commissioners, or j aid by the Governor, that has been rejected by the judgment of the Court having juris diction of the case, or by the action of the Legislature; nor shall any cla'm be paid which falls within the class rejected by the decisions of the Supreme Court on account of their connection with the rebellion, or which is embraced in the Ordinance of Repudiation passed by the Convention of 1885.” We lay the foregoing synopsis of the act creating the Board of Commissioners, before our readers that they may under stand fully the case. The Board thus appointed—Messrs. Conley, Walker and Hillyer—audited and ordered nearly a half million of claims to be paid out of the Treasury. Some claims thus allowed and paid have turned out to be fabricated, unfounded and fraudulent; and on account of this, and for other reasons, the present Legislature have appointed a committee to investi gate the conduct of the Board, We forbear making any comments. We shall await the result and let the facts developed speak for themselves, The Courier-Journal says: “Rooster- ill, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, steals from the Small Talk with regularity and precision.” That is “petty thieving” with a vengeance. A two hundred acre quarry of marble has been found in Wisconsin. Grant has not yet invested, but will look after the matter as soon as Seneca is well off his hands. The New York Times says: “We have received a number of letters on the wo man suffrage question, the publication of which we must postpone until we have more space.” If their publication were postponed altogether the public would lose nothing. The rebellion in Pennsylvania is giving Grant a deal of trouble. Being unable to “draw the Curtin aside,” he seriously contemplates asking Akerman if the En forcement act is not available. “Eighteen daily papers are now print ed in Rome.” But it is not Grady’s Rome that is meant. “Madame Brigham Young” is manip ulating the can-can in Paris theatres.

As a reacting stimulant, he took some benzine to blow it up. His Honor blowed him up. The explosion cost Kynnge $10. We then ventured to ask His Honor the following question of morals: “ Do you think it a sin in the gleaming To sit near a neat fitting dress, With the daintiest of maidens within it. And lily white fingers to press? Or softly to lift a stray ringlet. That floats o’er a bosom of snow, Or to peep into the eyes that are glancing From darkly fringed eyelids below? Not if you pay $5 for license, said His Honor. We adjourned. Eataii Accident in Taliaferro Coun ty.—Henry Edwards, (colored) of Talia ferro, was out, with several others, hunt ing, on the 27th of December. He had a double-barrelled shot-gun, one barrel of which he had discharged at a squirrel, and, while loading it again, the other barrel went off, discharging its contents in his breast and killing him instantly. It is supposed the hammer of the lock to identify the prisoner as the party who did the shooting. He was consequently discharged. W- H. Hulsey and Howard Yan Epps for defense; J. T. Finley for prosecution. Watch Service at Kimbaim House. The Audience Hall of the Kimball House was crowded to its utmost capacity on Sunday evening to witness the Watch Service during the last hours of the dying year. The service was opened at 10$, p. ji., by Rev. Dr. Wills, President Ogle thorpe University, who delivered an ap propriate and admirable address on The Grand March of Time.

The Cuban Insurrection. government authorities, bent on a vigo rous prosecution of the war for the sup pression of the insurrection of the op pressed patriots of persecuted Cuba, have recently appointed Marshal Jose de la Concha, Marquis of Havana, to succeed the Count of Valmaseda, for a long time the brutal Executive of the island.

It was quietly done—done on the sly—no reason given. But it keeps the motto invented by Dr. Bard, at the head of its column—some thing about Grant being a pilot of some- kiud; and some of the friends of that pa per point to Bard’s old motto standing up there, and triumphantly assert that the Era has not hauled down Grant’s name. It keeps Bard’s idea up there—declar ing that Grant is a pilot; but it no longer • keeps his name hoisted as its choice for President. The truth is, Grant stock is running low, and Radicalism is on the wane. Dr. Bard’s Chattanooga Paper.

The real estate valuation of the city for 1871 was returned at $769,306,410, and yet this does not represent more than 40 percent. | of such property. A true valuation would not be less than $2,000,000,000, on which the present debt, as above estimated, viz: $100,000,000, would be equivalent to a mortgage of 5 per cent. The increase of the valuation of prop erty of the city for assessment purposes between 1860 and 1S70 was S2j per cent. The present increase in the value jof real estate is estimated at 5 per cent per aunurn. The report concludes by saying, “it is, therefore, evident that, in comparison with the actual accumulated and tangible wealth of the city of New York, any lia bility on account of indebtedness which this city has yet incurred, or is prospec tively likely to incur, is very insignifi cant, r.nd with reasonable, honest, effi cient and economical government, such as public opinion and Legislative authori ty, guided by recent experiences, seem certain to compel, there can be no good reason why the interest bearing debt ob ligations of the city should not be re garded as the most desirable of invest ments. Washington, January 2. —Valerian Scherckoff has assumed charge of tbe Russian Legation. There was a long Cabinet session to day, after which tbe President and Aker man bad a consultation—it is supposed over Ku-Klux matters. The debt- statement for December shows a decrease of over $4,500,000; coin in the Treasurv, $111,500,000; currency, $15,750,000. Rome, January 2.—The king sent a special ambassador to the Vatican, on New Year’s, with congratulations to the Pope. Antonelli received tho ambassa dor and informed him that the Pope was indisposed and unable to receive visitors. Madrid, January 1.—These is again a Ministerial crisis in consequence of the appointments of Senor Terris Mara to succeed Senor Crespo, as second in com mand in Cuba, and of Gen. Marais, as successor to the officer in the military direction of tho eastern portion of that island. Later—The rumors of a Ministerial crisis are denied. No confirmation is given of the recall of Minister Roberts from Washington; but should it prove true, there is little doubt that Admiral Palo would be his successor. Paris, Jauuary 2.—The French have won a brilliant victory in Oran. Two rebel chieftains and one hundred and horsemen were killed. London, January 2.—The American Minister has gone to France where he will meet General Sherman. Harrisburg, January 2.—The Legis lature convened to-day. Annapolis, January 1.—Prof. Gunth stated an impossibility when lie said he got tartar emetic when treating sulphide of antimony precipitate with potash. If he had obtained what he said he did, it would have proved that no tartar emetic was there. The evidence is iiieompre- sivelv technical, but positive in its con tradictions of the results obtained by the prosecution. Dr. Jno. J. Rose, occupy ing the Chair of Medical Jurisprudence and Texicology in the University of Pennsylvania, testified that Aikens’ tes timony does' not, to witness’ mind, es tablish the presence of antimony in Ketchum’s stomach, or in the tumbler. Some very important tests were omitted. Some tests applied failed. In the tests most relied upon there were sources of fallacy, which rendered them uncertain and unconclusive. Tonev’e tests also were insufficient to establish the presence of antimony.

SEAB. WRIGHT, Albany, January 2.—Both Houses have organized, electing the Republican caucus nominees. Hoffman’s message is long. Alluding to the July riots, he wants the law to se cure equal rights, whatever the creed. The Senators should be elected by tbe people. He recommends a new charter for the city of New York, somewhat sim ilar to that proposed by the Committee of Seventy. He makes no allusion to National affairs. Tweed did not claim his seat to-day, Albany, January 2.—The Gqyernor sent" to the Legislature to-day a special message on the financial condition of Richmond, January 2. — Governor Walker has vetoed the joint resolution of the Legislature suspending the fund ing of the funding of the State debt, This, however, will probably amount to nothing, as in the House the resolution was adopted by over a three-fourths vote, and in tbe Senate by a two-thirds vote. San Francisco, January 1.—Judge Lake pleaded guilty of assault on Mr. Young, of the Chronicle, with a pistol; fined $300. Two reputable young men disappeared from Sacramento.

Y., January 3.—F r . m three until eleven o’clock this mornin" the city was comparatively quiet. Four companies of the fifty-fifth regiment are guarding the jail and its approaches, and loaded cannon are placed to command the bridges. At eleven o’clock the crowd assembled and there is a good deal of booth)" 0 f the military, but no overt act was com mitted. At half past eleven some one placed on the coral in the slip of Court street, a flag on which were the words “Avenge Your Brothers.” Brigadier General Clarke tore it down, and the crowd rushed upon him, aud for a short time he was in peril, but was released, and fire-arms were handed to him by his friends. The Sheriff has ordered the remaining six companies of the 54th regiment, and they are now assembling at the. arsenal. It is feared there will be more trouble this afternoon and evening. The authorities are determined to de fend the jail, but they wish the negro Howard well of it. Further particulars of the shooting last evening show that the soldiers were pelt ed by the mob with brickbats and stones, and several were injured. The order to charge was given and some of the men fired instead. LATER. A considerable crowd is about the jail, but tbe heavy rains checks excite ment. No violence since noon.

A great crowd is now (four o’clock) iu Buffalo street, at the intersection of State. Four veteran companies have ben sworn in as special police. Several soldiers who stepped out of the lines were knocked down by the mob. Howard will not be brought before the court until it is known whether the vic tim will die. * . still later. The Judges of the-Oyer and Terminer Court direct the Sheriff" not to take How ard from the jail at present, and to pro tect the public property and preserve the public peace at all hazards.
