Atlanta Herald 28th: No'word less
vere will answer fora description ofse
the manner in which Christmas day
was spent in Atlanta. All day long
the pavements were crowded by
uproarious boys and half-drunken
negroes, while the streets, far and
near, resounded with hideous yells
and tiie continual explosion of pow
der-charged missiles. It was imposi
blo for a lady to be out. It was the
most dangerous of undertakings to
drive a vehicle through the streets.
The city was one seething miss of

not drunk with liquor were crazy
with excitement:
The Griffin News says: “There
is no doubt but what thousands
could be saved the tax-payers of
Georgia by tlie consolidation of many
of the small coumies, and the aboli
tion or consolidation of many of
the small . offices, which could
be done without injury to anybody
except office seekers. While penning
the above an old citizen came into
our office, and said something would
have to be done to reduce the taxes
of the people, lie said before the
war he paid tax on one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars worth of
property, and his tax was from thirty
to forty dollars, and since the war he
only pays tax on twenty thousand
dollars, and his tax is now two hun
dred dollars. t>nte a difference.”

This having been rendered in rich

himself as well pleased. The smg

Moore’s beautiful lines:
•‘This world is ali a fleeting show,”
and was altered and sung by Rev.

Summer rose.”

A Governor Sawing Wood.—
j The Burlington (Vt.) Free Press re
lates the following anecdote of Gov.
i Peck, of that State: “Near home,
| in Jericho, live a poor old couple to
whom the struggle for life is a hard
one. Recently the husband was laid
up by an accident, and as Governor
Peck was passing the house the other
day he saw the old lady endeavoring
to saw and split some wood, furnish
ing the piteous spectacle a woman al
ways does under such circumstances,
and achieving the degree of success
usual when the softer sex stoop to
conquer a wood pile. The Governor
promptly interfered, attacked the
wood with the impetuosity and vig
or of a youth of twenty, and sawed
and split a large quanity, to the in
tense delight and happiness of the
aged couple. It is rare that wealth,
exalted position, profounded learn
ing and innate kindness of heart are
united so happily as in Governor
Peck.”
No Tax on Tea and Coffee.—
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Bulletin says.*
There is quite an effort among
! strong manipulators around Congress
i to secure a duty on tea and coffee,and
| failing in that,'to get it on tea alone.
I But the test of making the receipts
meet the expenditures of the Govern
ment has been decided by a determi
nation to level the expenditures
down to the ordinary receipts, and to
adjust the tariff on the basis upon
which it now stands, with more
equitable provisions. The Republi
cans, in majority, as protectionists,
oppose a duty on tea and c<>ffee,while
the Deinocrates say they will not as
sume the responsibility of its reim
positimi. I believe that the two
thirds majority of the House, with
out regard to party, are against it,
am! while the Senate Committee fa
vors it, the Senate has a, large work
ing majority against it.
Another Home Success,
AT readers of this paper know
with whit pleasure we point*to each
fresh evidence of the intention of our
own people to cherish those enter
prises originating among us and in
tended to develop home energies and
aid in expansion of homo capital.
Wo have often repeated and do re
peat constantly that self-help is the
only true key to solid and lasting re
sults, that sectional greatness, like
charity, must begin at home.
The first step towards this great-
ness down here must be the retention
of our own resources and their man
ipulation by our own hands. It has
too long been the accepted hand
maiden hood of the South to the
North, that has kept us poor and
helpless for ourselves. Not that we
did not have the proper meansand re
sources to our hand; but that vve
misued or neglected them from habit.
Lcstless acceptance of things as they
were had grown, up to the war, into
almost inability to break the chain
of thraldom we had welded round
our own wrists. But the friction of
that war forced out latent resources
we had long ceased to remem her,and
caused men to think of others cog-
nate but unheeded. Then, after the j
war,we began to develop new systems
of imlependanee; principal among
them 1 eiug arrangements by which
Southern men might insure in South
ern companies, managed by Southern
men, the lives of the property there
tofore sent to the security of North
ern corporations* Thought began to
come as to the vast amounts yearly
paid out in the way of premiums; a
dead and heavy drain upon tlie
pockets of our people. From thought
rapidly sprang action; timid at first,
but slowly as surely increasing in
confidence. And now the South can
point with all the pride of security to
insurance companies as sound and as
remunerative as those in the North.
About the youngest of these among
us is the Grangers’ Life and Health
insurance Company, the first year
I of which shows an almost unpreci
| dented growth and success. Organiz-
ed by home people, among whom we
find some of our best known business
men, ttie Grangers’ Life is intended
to be essentially a home Company.
It proposes to its insured to use the
money paid into it for premiums at
home; and its different departments
in the other Slates are managed on
the same principle. The money paid
into them is reinvested on the spot
and not sent thousands of miles
away for strangers to utilize its in
terest.
We have heretofore set forth the
provisions of its constitution,founded
upon the most intelligent and im
proved principles of modern insur
‘l,rx7. Upon these it is not our in
tention to | tl tpj ar tieie; for
it is written simply i re .
cognition of Southern men <>i tins
exclusively Southern Institution. At
different periods of late the Patrons
ot Husbandry of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi have fullv endorsed
this company, after careful exami
nation ot its theories of insurance
and of its practical workings. The
Patrons of Georgia entered into a
contract with it, for mutual advan
tage ; and more lately the State
Grange of Alabama his executed a
similar contract, to which both par
ties in interest look for early and grati ,
fying results. Co-operative advan
tages will follow these conventions;
and we may look to the erection of a
“Grange Temple,’ in each of the
States where it has been concluded. |
Elsewhere in to-day’s issue we !
print the strong congratulation of the
Southern Plantation to the Grangers’
on this Alabama-eontraet.
This is to what we allude as an
| other home success; for when our
I own people foster and aid our own
i institutions, that great first step to
: progress, which alone pays, thereby
taken. Toe Patrons of Husbandry
are careful and provident people;
and it is but natural to suppose that
before they entered into a co-opera
tive arrangement with the “Grang
er’s Life” they looked closely into
its probable results. And it must be
equally plain that the widespread
influence of so general an organiza
tion can have but a highly beneficial
result upon the financial condition
of the company, in whose aid it is
exerted. Hence we may look for the
coming year to even outstrip the ex
ceptional success of the first one of its
Ii fe.— Mobile Beg Liter.

For a week past the people of Geor
gia have turned their eyes anxiously
toward Craw'ford vide, the home of
tlie great statesman and patriot, Hon.
A. 11. Stephens. Though for years
he lias been subject to seasons of in
disposition, he has perhaps been at
no time seriously ill than at present.
In fact, many of his friends began to
doubt his recovery, and the news
went abroad, creating great anxiety
throughout the State, and occasioning
a general manifestation of the warm
est sympathy and affection. The ex
pressions of regard and interest ev
erywhere exhibited for Georgia’s il
lustrious son must, be gratifying to
the noble sufferer. Elsewhere we
publish an interesting letter from
Crawford vi lie, accurately setting
forth the present condition of Mr.
Stephens, and the pleasant circum

found discussed all topics and subjects vital to
the Christianity of the age, and especially to

THE DAILY AMERICAN.
Nashville, Tennessee.
HE centralization of power in Washington,
nnd the control of corrupt conibinations
ot ilie day in the Government at various
throughout the country to fleece the people of
their hard earnings, ha# justly excited the pub
lic. The unexampled policy of paying billions
ot deitt in gold, at a period of general
tion in business; the disj.ositioi. manifested,
if not to convert the government into an abso
lute monarchy, to reduce the Iree people of
America to absolute serfdom; the continual
cry of the tax gatherer; the building up ot the
few at the expense of the many; the excessive
inequalities ot burdens imposed by the Gov
ernment on its own citizen*, all of whom arc
entitled to equal privileges; the results of all
these in the general prostration of business af
ford just cause lor alarm. They afford also a
just cause lor a demand for a change in the
National administration of public aff airs,
it is therefore the duty of the Democracy,
which in its purity is_ the representative and
defender of the people, and of the people
themselves who are really the Democracy, ’ to
correct the growing evils which threaten lo
overwhelm all in common ruin. There must
be a change ol the National administration
before there is either safety or real reform.
This is the vital question Indore the people.
The American is on the side of the people
and oi ehange. it iuts its views and exprt '*es
them from day to day, and while doing .0
Iranklv and honestly, it also lairly and as
fully as its space will permit, gives 'the views
and arguments of ihe other side. It claims
nothing outside of the interests of the people,
and seeks only to inlorm them truthfully of
all matters iu which they themselves are
mostly concerned.
On the eve of the Centennial of the Republic
and of a Presidential campaign of the grease t
moment to the peopic. it behooves the (A n
s.-rvative and Democratic masses of this , c
t-iou to supply themselves, in time, with poll,-
ical news, facts and general political inloim: -
tion lmin the nearest central distributing
point. The American, issued from the cap
ital of Tennessee, and supplying as well, much
ol the territory of Kentucky, Georgia and Ala
bama, is the only Daily Democratic journal
published within a radius of mere than a hun
dred and fifty miles in which there are nearly
if not quite a million of people. It furnishes
to its readers, at heavy erpeuse, the full vol
ume of telegraphic repOris of (he H'( stern As
sociated Dress. including tlie Congressional
proceedings of the most interesting session for
many years, in which the Democrats, lor iho
first time since tlie war. have a majority in the
Lower House and nearly half the members of
the benate.
I he season is rapidly approaehing and near
at hand when will be discussed political i sues
affecting the National, and Stale t lections of
1870. The Presidential election overshadows
all others in its importance at this time, not to
our section alone, but to friends and defenders
of Republican institutions thiouglmvt
Union. Thong!; times may be ham, the verv
occasion of hard times is traceable to source's
with which the people ought to be acquainted,
andot which i; is the mission of the AMlri-
Can to inform them, and we think it is not in
opportune or immodest toa.k the attention of
tin- masses of tiie pec pie in its columns, which
will lie always lull and reliable. The -ng;
tion to Democrat • and Conservatives of Ten Les
see and States adjacent, to help extend its cir
culation and enlarge its sphere 01 r.selulne-s,
is the more confidently made in view ol the
very grave political ana financial questions
which are now agitating the public mind, and
which w ill enter largely into the approaching
Presidential canvass, and perhaps determine
the character of Ihe Government itself in the
future. The American has c.ndeviatingdv
stood forth iu defense of Die Constitution, o’f
the rights of the States, and of individual lib
erty. Now, when all these are assailed by a
powerful and corrupt centralized administra
tion, it pledges itself anew to devote ail its
means and energies to political refoiin ami the
mtoratii n rf the old landmarks and limita
tions of delegated authority and ot the stand
ard of official honor.
By a law ol Congress which went into effect
on the first of January, 1873, the publishers of
daily newspapers are'rtquiied at tiie time of
mailing, to prepay all postage, which relieves
the subscriber ol the payment of postage at
the office of delivery. Under this law the'po-t
