Washington, Dec. 9.—Gentlemen who have
the confidence of the adminstration say that
in addition to his promised message on
Cuba, the president., at some period during
the session, will also send in a message in
relation to southern affairs. That he is a
candidate for renomination no sagacious
politician here doubts, and it is not conceal

manifesto there may be read the bid for the
votes of the southern delegations in the
nominating conventions.
Salt Lake, Dec. 13.—There was a meeting

From Washington,
We have nothing of special interest in the
way of Congressional news. The latest dates
inform us of a general reduction of expenses
to be enforced by the new House —the esti
mates to be cut down some $50,000,000. In
a caucus of the democrats of the House on
the 13th, there was harmony of views with
regard to the duty of the in effect
ing a reduction of taxation and an economi
cal and honest administration of the govern
ment. In the Senate on the 13th, Merriinon,
of North Carolina, introduced a bill to repeal
so much of section 3580, of the revised stat
utes, as forbids the payment of the accounts,
claims and demands therein named, and all
laws and clauses of laws forbidding the pay
ment thereof. Judiciary. The bill refers to
claims and demands against the United States
which occurred or existed prior to the 13th
day of April, 1861, in favor of every person
who promoted or encouraged, or in any man
ner sustained the late revolution, it further
authorizes the settlement of such claims and
appropriates $400,000 for that purpose.
Hon. Alex. H Stephens, it is said, will have
a chairmanship, probably that of the commit
tee on the revision of the laws, if he is able
to attend to his congressional duties this win
ter.
We will endeavor to note whatever transpires
in either house in which our people are
interested. Asa matter of course, there is a
great deal of business transacted in which
none of our readers feel any interest at all.
This, we shall, as far as possible, ignore.

less, be of interest to many of our Methodist

We also clip from the published proceed
ings of the recent Conference session the
following paragraphs, and remark in connec
tion therewith, that while we have the highest
respect and reverence for all the parties con
cerned, and, we believe, a proper apprecia
tion of all the surroundings, yet, as a “T. I\,”
and further, as a very humble “ worker in the
hive,” the cost of publishing the Southern
Christian Advocate has, for several years past,
been a mysterious piece of business—that is,
viewing from our standpoint. And why one
minister should be selected and paid a “bo
nanza” salary, per annum, for editing this
paper and another chosen and sent to travel
through the snows and sleets, rain and sun
shine of the mountains for scarcely what will
keep soul and body together, is another mat
ter surpassing our “ little” comprehension.
We yield to no one in our charity for the
brethren, but we must confess it does seem
(as has been frequently charged) that there is
some “ ground and lofty tumbling” inter
spersed with a variety of “ring perform
ances” in the management of the journal in
question. The simple inquiry is—“ if
$1,700 is the net income of the paper with
6.300 paying subscribers, under the present
regime, how much would be saved by print
ing the paper on the proposition of the
Chronicle § Sentinel 1” Will someone an
swer.
The committee on the Southern Christian
Advocate reported that the paper was pub
lished according to contract, on a cash basis.
It has 6,300 paying subscribers. $1,700 is
the net income of the paper.
The committee recommended the adoption
of a resolution congratulating the patronizing
Conferences on this handsome income, and
hoping it will continue until the debt is can
celled.
This report brought up an animated de
bate. Rev. 11. J. Adams said that the mana
ger of the Aufjvsta Chronicle $ Sentinel pro
posed to publish the Advocate at $1 per
copy. He thought $2.50 too high. -
A resolution was offered requesting the
reduction of the price to $2 per copy, which
was lost, by yeas 25, nays 84.
If the object in the publication of the paper
is a “ source of revenue” to the denomination,
on general principles, then the contract ought
to be given to those who will do the work for
the least money. Or, if the paper is simply
intended as a disseminator of Methodist te
nets and religious principles, then, in order
that it may do the greatest good to the great
est number, its management—in every parti
cular—should be so conducted as to place
the subrcription price at the very lowest fig
ure possible.
We beg pardon of our uninterested readers
(if such there be) for alluding to this matter
in these columns. Religious people and
the religious press are very far from being
infallible, and if their errors and shortcom
ings are entirely ovei looked and ignored by
the secular “ world” and press, they may,
perchance, remain uncorrected ; and further
more, the writer is as much opposed to any
thing like favoritism in religious matters as
in politics or anything else.
Found Dead.
A man named Fitzgibbon was found dead
in Buford, Ga., some days ago. He had a bot
tle of whiskey in his pocket when found, and
was drunk when last seen previous to the
finding.
Supreme Court Decisions.
We publish below three important decis
ions of the Supreme Court, delivered last
week;
James K. Wright, administrator, vs. John W.
Bess man. Objection to discharge of adm'r,
from Morgan.—Jackson, J.
1, The returns of an administrator admit
ted to record by the ordinary, are prima facie
evidence for him, and the onus is on the ob
jector to show them incorrect.
The payee or holder of a note is an incom
petent witness to testify that he put the cred
it on it, which kept it alive, by the authority
and as agent of the marker—the marker be
ing dead.
3. Anew promise, to prevent the bar of
the statute of limitations, must be in the hand
writing of the marker or subscribed by him,
or someone authorized by him, and the hold
er therefore cannot be the agent so authorized
by him.—34 Ga. 245.
Judgment affirmed.
A. G. & F. C. Foster, for plaintiff in error.
Reese, & Reese, for defendant.
Thomas O. Bowen vs. Mary Bowen. Appli
cation for homestead, from Jones.—Jack
son, J.
1. The system of homestead and exemption
provided for by the constitution is voluntari
ly, not compulsory ; and the laws enacted for
the setting apart and valuation thereof should
be so construed as to harmonize with the vol
untary character of the constitutional sys
tem.
2. Therefore, section 2022 of the Code,
which enacts that ‘should the husband refuse
apply for the aforesaid exemption, his wife
or any person acting as her next friend, may
do the same, and it shall be as binding as if
done by the husband,’ should not be con
strued to mean that if the husband not only
refuse to apply himself for homestead, but
solemnly object, on records as a party de
fendant, to his wife’s doing so, that then the
application shall be granted and the home
stead carved out of his individual property
over the objection so made by him.
3. No man's property can be set aside as
homestead and exemption without his con
sent, express or implied ; if his wife, or some
one as her next friend, apply and he fails to
interpose objection by plea, his assent will
be implied : but if he does interpose objec
tion by plea, the presumption is rebutted,
and the homestead cannot be set apart out
of his property. The distinction is clear be
tween his refusal to apply himself, and his
objection to another applying in behalf of his
family ; and the statue will be construed to
mean that though he refuse to act, his wife’s
application will be granted unless he object
by plea; then it will be refused.
Judgment reversed.
In the matter of John H. Deveaux; et al.
Application for charter, from Chatham. —
Jackson, J.
Persons who are desirous of being incor
porated under section 1676 of the Code, must
specify the object of their association, the
particular business they propose to carry on,
the place at which the} 7 propose to carry it on,
and the amount of capital to be employed by
them in such business actually paid in, and
unless these particulars be disclosed in the
application, the charter will not be granted.
Judgment affirmed.
Reducing Wages.
The Delaware, Lackawana and Western
Company have followed the example of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in reducing
the wages of the laboring men to ninety
cents a day. Against this heartless policy
of wealthy corporations, especially in this
inclement season, the Baltimore Sun protests.
The editor says: “ Economy may be neces
sary in these times, but have any of the large
salaries of the railroad magnates been reduc
ed accordingly ? Wise proverbs may be
offered the laborer for comfort, as that ‘ The
back is fitted to the burden,’ ‘A half loaf is
better than no bread,’ etc., but the fact is,
that when labor is needed at all the right of
the worker to existence should be recogniz
ed. In the recent reduction of wages in the
New York Custom House the clerks who
could just make both ends meet were cut
down without ceremony, and the news goes
forth of a saving of three hundred thousand
dollars, but not. a large or extravagant salary
was touched. The ‘ small fry* should not be
called upon to make all the sacrifices.”
idF" Jes* so ! We publish the above not as
a piece of news, but more particularly for the
lesson it teaches. What a “shaking among
the dry-bones” there will be when some of
these “ pillars”—these “ whited sepulchers”
who fill the “ amen corners” stand before The
Judge at the “Grand Assize !”— Ed. News.
Newnan Herald claims that crimi
nals in Georgia need not fear punishment as
it is neither speed}' nor certain under our
laws. It aims to prove its point by the fol
lowing instance :
A criminal is convicted early in the /year
1874. His case is taken to the supreme
court, and he gets no hearing until the
spring of 1875, nearly twelve months after
conviction, which is a very unnecessary and
dangerous delay. The judgment of the court
below is affirmed, and instead of his being
brought immediately before the judge to be
re-sentenced, he must lie in jail another six
months, until the next regular term of the
court. He is re-sentenced at the September
term 1875. His counsel makes a motion for
anew trial upon the “extraordinary” ground
of newly discovered evidence, and the judge
having no right under the law to entertain
that motion, except at a regular term, and
upon these facts being made to appear to the
governor he orders a respite until the March
term, 1876. Tims it is two years, and possi
bly much longer, from the commission of the
crime before the majesty of the law is vindi
cated by the punishment of the criminal. Is
it any wonder that our judges try in vain to
suppress erime in Georgia? Is it any
wonder that the people should demand a
change of the law that will remedy this
defect?
Little Rock, Dec. 13.—A colored woman
named Laporte, who sued the St. Louis and
Iron Mountain railroad some time ago, for
$24,000 damages for refusing her a seat in
the ladies car, obtained judgment before the
circuit court of Pulaski county to day for one
hundred dollars.
London, December 12.—A dispatch receiv
ed here from Bremernhaven, states that 68
persons were killed and 35 wounded by the
explosion yesterday on the Quay of the
Mosel, and eight are missing.
A Divorce With a Terrible Origin.
A New York letter to the Baltimore News
says:
There is in this city, however, one most
amusing low comedian who has a reason for
never smiling. In his youth he was the
father of a little girl of a refractory,
obstinate disposition. One day, to punish
her for something, he locked her in the bed
room, and with his wife went down stairs to
dinner.
Soon the child began to scream in a ter
rible manner, which the parents considered
was only temper ; but, as the shrieks contin
ued, the wife became alarmed, and desired
to go to her. He, however, forbade her
doing so, as he said the child must be taught
obedience, and that she should not gain her
end by screaming.
They went on with their dinner, the fearful
shrieks continuing for a while and then ceas
ing. As they were about leaving the table
smoke began to pass through the house. Fire
was somewhere. Rushing to release the poor
little girl, they found her dead. Her clothes
had evidently caught fire from the grate, and
wliile the parents were eating the child was
dying.
The comedian’s wife took a horror and ha
tred of her husband after this, as she believ
ed that if he had allowed her to go to the
poor infant she might have saved her life.
The} 7 were divorced; no winder that man
never smiles off the stage.
A Sea Serpent in Conflict with a Whale.
The Zanzibar correspondent of the West
ern Morning News, writing under date of
October 20, says.
“ The bark Pauline has arrived at Zanzi
bar, with coals for her Majesty’s ships. When
off Cape St. Roque, South America, a sight
was presented that made the crew aghast—
nothing less than the great sea serpent en
gaged in a conflict with a whale. It had
wound itself twice round the whale, and was
twirling it with tremendous velocity, lashing
the water into foam. The noise could be
distinctly heard on board, and, after battling
for some time, they both disappeared. The
serpent’s length can be imagined. It had two
coils around a full sized sperm whale, with
thirty feet clear at each end. Its diameter
was from three to four feet. They saw it twice
afterward. Once it came very close to the
vessel, and raised itself about sixty feet out
of the water, as if about to attack them. I
have questioned men and officers, trying to
find out any discrepancy between their state
ments, but am a convert to the belief that it
was seen.”
Another naval officer writes to the Western
Morning News to precisely the same effect;
and the officers of her Majesty’s ships on the
station are said to be convinced of the truth
of the story*. —Liverpool Courier.
‘•A sample from a barley field was brought
us yesterday by Col. Isaac Hardeman, taken
from an unplanted field in Jones county, near
Haddock’s Station, belonging to Mr. W. A.
Chambers. This field is light sand} 7 hill side,
cowpenned. The sample alluded to is cut from
the ground level, and is upwards of three
feet high, and heavily headed with grain in
the milk. It was a fair sample of the whole
field, and the stalks are generally as big as
a white clay pipe-stem. The field was sown
on the 28th of August last, and its advanced
condition is, of course, due mainly to the
warm open fall. What is to become of this
crop when the cold winds do blow and the
ground freezes, we are not able to say, but
shall be pleased to know hereafter. Think
what a country for stock this is if rightly
created. Our cattle, hogs and sheep, with
proper management, should spread over a
thousand hills and be as fat as a tallow can
dle, without eating a single grain of food
from the crib. —Macon Telegraph.
The Lumpkin Independent states that the
jail of Stewart county now contains eighteen
able-bodied prisoners, and that a petition,
numerously signed, is to be presented to
Judge Crawford, asking him to hold an extra
