What official of the Executive department has been so severely criticizing Gen. Colquitt? Can’t some one of the Atlanta papers, in the exercise of their eternal vigilance, ascertain who he is, that the people of Georgia may know this official, who is doubtless so jealous and apprehensive of his third term. CHRIS TMAS ON THE STREETS. Christmas Eve. and the day itself, evi- dently developes all the musical talent of our juvenile population. The Athens Band have at last a rival, and judging the count- lessTroubadours which nightly perambulate our streets, for volume,, these musicians have no superiors on the American contit nent. There is a marked difference, how* ever, between these two organizations. Whilst the Davis Troupe, with wonderful musicnl. taste, play one tune at a time, the Troubadours execute all of their selections at the same moment. Performances coin* mcncing at G p. m. and ending at midnight. To those who need a nervous tonic, we sug gest a serenade from these tin horn-etts as a substitute for a galvanic battery.

Why, the counter-braces have nothing t • abut against. The wooden shoes or blocks, at their heads, have split—every one. Counters are very necessary parts of a good bridge. The Lower Bridge has, virtually, SwdW wSmjo'juSE do not act. Oon- sequently, the bridge has not only lost its camber, but actually sways to an alarming extent. The mnift brace* and >4ior<ls of tfcift bridge undergo strains that are ruin ous every time it is uneqnally and heavily loaded. Take away those old wooden shoes that are split and put in cast-iron ones, then screw up on the tie-rods, and the trusses will assume a new camber and the bridge be as sound and firm as ever. The beauty of a Howe truss is, that when it sways, it may be raised up again by simply screwing np on the tie-rods. It is true, false works would have to be erected—but, would they not have to bo raised if a new bridge was built? which, before very long, as I have said, will have to be done, if things are permitted thus to go to destruction. That bridge might he fixed now, and not a hit of travel stopped. jb‘ A word to the wise, etc., etc. _ Ejtqlther. Our Congressman—Hon. B. H. Hill. [Cor.

On all hands, he is regarded as the coming man. There is no question that ho is the ablest lawyer in the House— : - or out of it either, for that matter—and if he is not made Chairman of the J udicinry the only heathen divinity wor-1 Committee, it will not he because his emi- ' nent fitness is not acknowlcd^ out of deference to tho established usage of giving chairmanships to old members.

Congress has only been in session a few days, and he has not had an opportunity to show his skill in. debate, but his associates have already discovered that he will be a leader in his party. We believe that Mr, Hill’s course will confound those who hint and desire that he will do sora&hing imprudent, and that he will take thstand to which he is so justly entitled.
