The Atlanta Constitution is taking the
lead in considering men generally as gentle
men, and not mincing the fact with some
ambiguous title that seems rather an apology
for the acquaintance than a genuine confi
dence in ones identity.

form no exception to the rule.
—Savannah is, from the very nature of

that only comes from the West Indies in
ship's ballast.
l’iie Sunday Gazette, of Atlanta, predicts
that this State has never seen so unanimous
a vote as the one by which Alfred 11. Colquitt
will be re-elected to the office lie now holds
—not even when he went into it backed by
HO,OOO majority. And it is equally certain
that Governor Colquitt will never see another
such majority, if Conference will allow the
people a showing.
“In referring to the report of the Atlanta
Board %f Health, the Const it at ion says :
*' Sanitary science must level mountains of
ignorance and cross oceans of prejudice. For
this reason sanitarians are now making an
effort to educate the people to a just and
proper appreciation of the essential laws of
health, and it is for this purpose we deem it
prudent and timely to publish the annual re
port of the City Board of Health.”
—lion. A.O. Bacon has written a long letter
to the Curouicle iy Constitutionalist. in which
appears this key-note to our future politics :
“ It is also evident that a party cannot main
tain an efficient and successful organization
based upon questions limited to theoretical
abstractions and issues which are dead or
dormant. Principles are enduring, and
should not be abandoned even though the
psacs in which they were involved may be
past ; but if such issues no longer present
wtu. questions, the party while still holding
to its opinions upon t em, if it would maintain
tne spit it and active interest of its members,
nui>i, march lor ward to an alignment upon
tuobv. questions winch are now practically
i itai, uu.i v\ Inch affect our every day life.”
Washington Letter.
[From our regular Correspondent.]
Washington, 1). C., Jan. 12th, IS7O.
Congress has not furnished much excite
ment or many new subjects to talk and write
about since it reassembled, yet I think we
shall get something lively before very long.
The House agreed before the recess to take
up the report of the Committee on Rules
when it re-convened, and to continue tire con
sideration of the subject from day to day until
disposed of, but the absence of Mr. Frye, who
is in Maine, and Mr. Garfield, who was look
ing after Ohio, delayed the work, so that
little has been done at it this week. It was
the understanding that all members of the
committee should be present while the rules
were under consideration, but these two had
their hands pretty full at home—especially
the gentleman from Maine. Gen. Garfield
had an easier time of it, and comes back the
choice of his State for the Senatorship. Prob
ably he comes nearer, in point of ability, to
filling the seat vacated by Senator Thurman
than any of the other candidates, yet there is
a vast difference in the two men. Even Gar
field can rattle around a good deal in the
place filled by his predecessor. And the loss
will be not alone Ohio's, but the nation's as
well.
The action of the Supreme Court in re
fusing to advance the legal tender case on the
calendar is something of a disappointment,
to Congressmen especially, yet it is not an
unreasonable result. While members of Con
gress are anxious to have a decision of the
Court that would relieve them of responsibil
ity, it is not unnatural that the court should
decline to go out of its way to grapple with
the troublesome questions involved. The
Court has once passed upon the legal tender
qualities of the greenback, and the remaining
question as to the duration of their necessary
existence will perhaps settle itself if letalone.
Anyhow, Congress must answer to the peo
ple for its course in the premises, without any
assistance from the Court. Considering the
uncomfortably mixed condition of the Con
gressional mind on the subject, this may be a
misfortune in which the business interests of
the country will have to share. The refer
ence made by the Court to the fact that there
was not a full bench corroborates the opinion
here that every effort is making to force Jus
tice Hunt to resign. All reports of his in
tended resignation have come from members
of the Administration and from members* of
the Court. Avery strong pressure has been
brought to bear upon him to make a vacancy
for the Administration to fill. This is not the
first time that constitutional questions have
gone over owing to hi3 illness, and the Court
has before made the same announcement as
that made in the legal tender case. But Jus
tice Hunt will not resign unless Congress re
tires him on full pay, and a Democratic Con.
gress will hardly do that for the sake of get
ting another radical partisan on the bench.
The census bureau is another place where
the Republicans are working hard to secure
some partisan advantage, but the present in
dications arc that they will substantially fail.
Superintendent Walker is honestly disposed
to take the matter entirely out of politics, and
lias referred the appointment of supervisors
to the Congressional delegations from each
State. Great pressure has been brought to
bear upon Mr. Haves to interfere and appoint
Republicans exclusively, but I understand ho
is not disposed to do so. This obstinacy has
given rise to curses loud and deep, for the
radicals see that if the work is done impar
tially, it wili probably cause a decided shrink
age of the immense gains in Congressional
representation that they have so loudly boast
ed the census would give them. _ It certainly
would be a great public wrong and a positive
injury to have any partisan manipulation of
the census st atistics, and Superintendent Wal
ker says that if any supervisor is found to bo
engaged in political management lie will be
dismissed from the service, whether he is a
Republican or a Democrat. Nobody doubts
that Gen. Walker means all this, and if he
can strictly enforce in the next census will be
an honest and valuable exhibit. It is pretty
hard, however, for a party that resorts to so
many desperate expedients to retain its hold
on power to forego such an opportunity as the
census would afford.
In my haste last week I overlooked one
ol tlie \\ bite House scenes on New Year’s
day, which is worth recording. Over a year
ago I wrote something about the case of Col.
Henry DcAhna, who was appointed collector
of Alaska at the begining of Mr. Hayes’ ad
ministration and then recalled under very
trying circumstances. Col. DcAhna is a
Gennan-American and served with distinc
tion in our late war, and came out poor.
When given the appointment; to Alaska he
had to borrow money to pay the heavy ex
penses of himself and family to his post of
duty. After his arrival there he discovered
some of tiie crookedness of the Alaska Fur
Company which has exclusive privileges
from the Government, and proceeded to re
port them to headquarters. But this was
not what John Sherman wanted. It is said
the Secretary of the Treasury, who controls
the matter, .has an interet in this thriving
company, whose profits are so large that they
buy up every Government agent, and keep a
well paid representative here in Washington
to prevent Congressional action. Secretary
Sherman caused DeAhna to be recalled, and
he returned here through the assistance of
fricn.la in San Francisco. He has been here
ever since trying to get justice at the hands
of the Administration and the pay due him.
His family are destitute, and were on the
day before New Year’s turned out of their
! boarding house, al! their effeet.s being held
for arrears. On New Year's day the Colonel,
with unshaven face and sullen look, driven
by sheer desperation, went with the throng
to the M hite House. When he halted in
the line before the President, and refusing
the proffered hand, drew himself to his full
height, there was something manly in his ap
pearance. and something touching in his
voice, as he said :
“ Mr. President: For eighteen months I
have in vain endeavored to get justice from
you, and what lyings me here to-day is to
tell you that if Divine Providence should re
solve to inflict on yon the one-hundreth part
of all the disgace, hardship, suffering, sick
ness, grief and want that you have managed
to inflict on me and my American-born wife
and children, for the last two years, you
would never have a happy moment again in
your life.”
That was all. It was over in a minute,
and Col. DeAhna was .ejected from the man
sion to take his place among the forty mil
lions of people outside. Piiono.

Only 81.50 a Year.
3 The Chicago Ledgeb Is now ap
-1 proachlng the close of the seventh
| y® ar of Its existence, having been
| established In the winter of 1873.
| The Ledger was started by its pres
| ent conductors with some misgiv
|ings as to the erccess of the eaten
| prise. Many literary ventures of a
. kindred character had been made in
a tho Western metropolis, and misor
| ably failed. The sea of journalism
3 was strewn with the wrecks of
| stranded newspaper enterprises.
3 Others that were living, but strug-
S gling for a precarious existence,
| have since yielded to inevitable fate
I and gone down, leaving The Ledgeb
| to-day the only weekly story-paper
3 printed in Chicago.
j The Ledgeb has not attained the
I plane of succees upon which it now
B solidly rests without earnest, well
-1 directed effort. Its conductors have
3 labored earnestly and persistently
i not only to make it an excellent lit-
I erary jonrnal, but also to make the
I reading world acquainted with it.
a Thousands upon thousands of dol-
I lars have been expended in bringing
1 its merits to the attention of the
I reading public. In fact, The Ledgeb
| has been the most extensively-ad
i vertised newspaper in the West.
| The publishers have a feeling of
I pride at the success that has at
| tended their efforts to build up a
| first class literary paper in the cap
-3 ftal city of the West. The circula-
I taon, already large, is rapidly grow-
I ing. and hy the Ist day of January
I will be not lees than 25.000. The
I publishers do not mean to relax
I their efforts to make The Ledgeb
| the best weekly newspaper in the
| West, but intend to persevere in the
I work, and during the coming months
I will still further increase its value
i and usefulness.
J The weekly contents of The Ledo
-1 eb embrace, in addition to its serial
1 novels, several short stories; a Home
