Friday Morning, Feb. 11, 1875.
PUBILSHED WEEKLY BY
T. L. GANTT, Editor and Prop’r.
The Civil Rights Bill.
The House of Representatives last
Friday passed the House Civil Rights
bill by a vote of 162 to 100 after striking
out the mixed school clause, and adopt-
preamble incorporating the words
ot the first plank of the Democratic plat
form adopted at the last National Con
vention. Eleven Republicans voted
against the bill.
The bill passed is known as the House
bill. It was shorn of a portion of its
objectionable features —those applying
to schools and cemeteries—before its
passage. It is not yet a law, and may
be finally defeated. The Senate has
passed a civil rights bill, it is true, but
not the same one passed by the House.
It is possible that the vile thing may yet
fail. The hope at one time indulged in
that the President would veto it, if
passed, seems to have died out.
The I.egisluturc.
This body is still in session at Atlan
ta. As usual, but little or nothing of
public utility lias been done, though bills
enough has been introduced to change
the status of every man in the State.
We hope we will live to see the day
when the law-making power will convene
not oftener than once in seven years,
and then the members be required to pay
each his own expenses. Such a pro
ceeding would be a great relief to the
tax-payers, and put an everlasting quie
tus on the aspirations of the blatant pat
riots that infest the State.
Beecher Pale as Death Before
Tilton. —There has been nothing as yet
so tragic as the contemplation of Tilton
by Beeclmr. When his enemy rose to
take the vacant chair, Beecher was whis
pering earnestly to Judge Porter. The
electric shock which startled the audi
ence violently broke short that conver
sation. Looking up toVe the cause of
it, Beecher found himself face to face
with Tilton. For a moment the fascina
tion stupefield him. He grew paler, and
paler, and paler, until he was whiter
than he will be when he lies dead. The
change from his usual redness to worse
than mortal pallor was indescribable.
He looked as if, with one huge gulp,
bis heart had swallowed every drop of
blood in his body, and then bad stopped.
His face wore an expression of horror, as
if he were peering iu a looking glass and
found Death grinning over his shoulder.
The aparition of his accuser was a stu
pendous surprise, and, for an instant, it
petrified him. His recovery was slow.
The shock unnerved him, and he could
not escape Tilton’s haunting eyes unless
he closed his own.
The St. Louis Globe.— We would
again call the attention of our readers to
this splendid Western newspaper, pub
lished in St. Louis. It is ably edited,
well printed, and has a correspondence
department uneqnaled by any paper in
the Union. The latter feature alone is
worth ten times the amount of subscrip
tion. It took from its first issue, and
still holds, and will continue to do so,
the lead among Western journalism. Al
though it claims to be Republican, its
course has been extremely conservative,
serving to correct many abuses of power
and villainies for which the Republican
party is notorious. We once worked on
the Globe , and can say from our own per
sonal knowledge, that it is the best man
aged office, in every department, we ever
entered. The mechanical department is
engineered by Messrs. Stinson and Mc-
Murty, two practical printers and clever
gentlemen.
— ♦
Of the seven or eight hundred bills
introduced in both branches of the Leg
islature—most of which are of a local
character or proposed amendments of the
Code—very few have been finally acted
upon. The real business of the session
is yet to do. The Convention question
—Usury—the Lien Law—the Convicts
—and other matters of supreme impor
tance, have not yet received the attention
their importance demands. When the
doors are once closed against the ad
mission of new matter, these more im
portant measures may receive the atten
tion of the body.
The World Almanac for 1375,
\Ve beg to thank the proprietors of the
New York World for a copy of their al- j
manac for the present year. It is one i
of the most compactly complete works
ever gotton up in this country, and con
tains besides pretty much all the politi
cal data as to the elections last vear in
all the States by counties, etc., that may
be desired, much other useful informs- i
tion. It is one of the most valuable !
hand-books that can be found.
A planter in Southwestern Georgia
has on hand 1,500 bales of cotton of

Poor Charlie Ross has not yet been
recovered.
Augusta is eating strawberries grown
in the open air.
A $25,000 cowdied in Kentucky the
other day. She left a bull calf.

A birth is expected at the White

operation.
ThomasStolnaker, of Burke county,
has been sentenced to the 'penitentiary

The Beecher trial has cost the city
of Brooklyn thus far $5,768, and is daily
adding about S2OO to that amount.
The only cannon left of those used by
Fannin at the Goliad, Texas, massacre,

The interest on one cent, compounded

The difference between the sexes may

cents for a twenty-five cent thing he
wants, and a woman gives twenty- five
cents for a forty cent thing she doe* not
want.
Public meetings in three of the larg

——
Waco (Texas) Examiner : A gentle
man from Georgia passed through the
eity yesterday, on his way to Brown
county, commissioned to purchase twen
ty-five thousand acres of land, for actual
settlers, who will arrive jome time during
the spring or early summer.
Pinchback, the would-be United
States Senator, elected by the bogus
Louisiana Legislature, says the New
Orleans Bulletin, is an ex-penitentiary
convict, having been sentenced by Pro
vost Judge Bell to the penitentiary in
1862 or 1863, and confined in the work
house in New Orleans, which w T as then
used as a penitentiary.

It is reported that the sewing machine
companies have placed a fund of $250,-
000 where it would do the most good, in
order to secure legislation to continue
their patent ir force and keep up the
monopoly they have so long enjoyed.
The prospect of their success is not flat
tering. The report of the committee,
adverse to extension, will meet the ap
proval of the country, and will be adopted
by Congress.
The hog cholera, says the Albany
Central Cit;/, has recently prevailed in
certain sections of this portion of
the State to a fearful extent; in
some instances, we are told, taking
off the last hog. ’This scourge appears
to be much more frequent of iate years
than formerly in this county and coun
ties adjoining, and it seems to bid de
fiance to the remedies thus far used to
preveut its ravages.
Th e Atlanta says the civ
il rights bill is freely discussed on the
streets by the negroes, and one “ cute”
darkey says that as soon as Gen. Grant
signs the bill, he is going to the Kimball
House and hire himself out to Col. Mc-
Ginlev to sit at the head of the table and
turn the stomachs of the boarders, so
that they will eat less Several sharp
and shrewd colored men are preparing
to leave soon after the signing of the bill
for Boston, Philadelphia and other
Northern places to enter hotels, theatres,
etc., and on refusal, to bring suits for
damages. They say it is useless to pur
sue that course at the South, because
there is no money here. They expect to
