Milan Tennessee has a colored man who is 12G years old. The late elections wafted ten Mississippi editors into office. The General Assembly of Georgia con venes the second Wednesday in January. A woman wlto weighs seven hundred and fifty pounds is wintering in Chicago. Cotton goods are said to be lower in price now than for the last seventeen years. The legislature of Arkansas has memori alized congress to refund the cotton tax that it unconstitutionally levied. The municipal election in Gainesville came off on the 14th. J udge Candler was, we learn, elected Mayor. Frojn across the “big water” we see ac counts of several accidents to steam vessels by which a great many lives have been lost. Another riot in Mississippi—at Rolling Fork, 35 miles above Vicksburg. Seven ne groes, in doling two leaders were killed. An explosion occurred at a colliery in Yorkshire, England, on the 6th, in which over two hundred lives were lost. There never was such a variety in the style, shape, ami size of note paper and envelopes as now. Everybody appears to write upon a different kind. The Eastman Times has been shown a half grown apple of the second crop while the same tree was putting forth its third crop of blooms. Two trees in Dennison, Texas, are joined by a horizontal limb, and on that natural gallows five men have been lynched within ten years. At the last term of the Camden Superior Court four men were convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung on the 17th of De cember. The}’ were three negroes and one white man. Out of 400 religious publications in the United States, the Methoiist claim 47, the Roman Catholics 41, the Baptists 35, the Pres byterians 20, and the Jews, 0. This is the latest sensation at the Paris Winter Circus : A gymnast is put into the muz zle of an enormous mortar. The piece is fired, and the man is projected up to a tra pese to which he clings. The Judgeship of the City Court of Atlan ta becomes vacant in January. Among the prominent applicants to Gov. Smith for the position, is Col. I. W. Avery, formerly editor of the Constitution. Two white boys—“ idle boys”—have been detected in petty stealing in Gainesville; so says the Eagle. Parents stick a pin here, ami find such employment for your children as will keep them from loafing. Large numbers of rabbits invade the fields of growing vegetation in Nevada every morn ing and destroy every thing within their reach. One farmer lost five hundred dollars worth of cabbage and grain in this way one morning recently. A Georgia farmer remarked to a friend that he had sold eighteen bales of cotton this year and had never reached home with more than three dollars in his pocket, lie also stated that he had not bought over fifteeen dollars' worth of goods for his family during the fall season. Mr. T. C. Belyeu, of Talbotton, has an egg that stands on one end, and it is an impossi bility to make it stand on any other end. It acts precisely like one end was loaded. Noth ing has been done to it, Mr. Belyeu declaring that it has not been “tricked.” It was found in a hen's nest in its present condition and remains the same. Rev. J. M. Stilwell, of Stone Mountain Baptist church, is said to have married more couples than an}' other minister in Georgia. Perhaps the fees were large, and this will ac count for his immense wealth. Though rich, he is yet not too proud to speak to a poor man. The punishment for duelling in Delaware is thirty lashes on the bare back, and the seconds fare no better than the principals. This will make “ Little Dela's” “peculiar in stitution,” the whipping post, very popular at the North, and redeem the State from some of the obloquy cast upon her for persisting in this “relic of barbarism.” The officers of justice are said to be looking up the recent Philadelphia parties who invaded the little State and desecrated her soil by a bloodless duel. $ ii $ 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 ed that between the lines of the southern 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 of the Methodist ministers in this city. They adopted the resolutions protesting against the action of Bishop Haven and the Metho dist preachers of Boston, nominating Grant for the third term. 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. North Georgia Conference Statistics. The following figures and facts will, doubt less, be of interest to many of our Methodist readers, at least: The statistics show a total white member ship of 53,686 ; an increase of 2,430. Color ed, 68, a decrease of 66. Local preachers, 425 ; an increase of 10. Infants baptized, 1,800; an increase of 148. Adults baptized, 3042 ; a decrease of 260.

Const. 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 term of the Superior Court for the purpose of clearing the jail.
