jgaricngiinbrttofttr RICHARD W. GRUBB, Editor & Proprl'r. ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 DAIiIKX. GEORGIA, SATURDAY MOItMSH, JAY. Dili, 1875. THE’ NEW YEAR. The old year with its buried ho; es and its joys. i!s tn ing ordeals and its triitipphs, its misfortunes and its bias ings is now gone to tlie* irrevocable past. The new year with new hopes to cheer, duties to be performed and ordeals to be passed <hiough, stretches before us iis course over which liar gs tho impenetrable veil concealing the “coming events ” Mindful of past blessings, admonished by the errors and chastened by the misfortunes of the past, with hop > and prudence, energy and devent trust, go forward to meet the responsib titles and dis charge 'the duties allotted With charity smoothing a spirits es, by integ rity to truth and justice,by adhevenci to principle triumphing over passion, and by perseverance in well-doing, this /ncfoctc? f>e .*i year Gmpon&itiff happiness along its whole course, and crowning its close with imperishable fruits gathered in obedience to the high command, “do justly, love mercy and walk humbly.” Peace, health and comfort to all, making this a hap py new year. LAW-MAKING. The Georgia Legislature will soon convene to deliberate for the public welfare. Each legislator is a public servant, an agent for tho people of the whole State, and not the representa tive of sectional prejudices or local in terests. The errors of the past should instruct, wise councils direct, and a broad patriotism animate them. Too much legislation, i > a standing evil •annually increasing, and grown eon create by thevveigbt of accumulation and by lime. The vast array of en actments and the multiplied changes of the laws, encumber the enforce ment of law and weigh as an incubus upon the administration of justice. It is a mischevous fallacy, prevalent . both among the people and our law makers that “lie it enacted,’ the form- i ing of new laws, and changing old ones, is a panacea for all ills, a potent charm exorcising evils, and securing desired blessings. Every convention that assembles sends up a large list of these cure-alls for legislative manu facturers, and most of the legislators themselves are too busy preparing enactments f >r the afflicted public, to give duo ami patient consideration to measures claiming their attention. There is too much law-making. L t the laws bo few and simple, and let them be duly published that they 1 may be known. It is not tho mini-! her of legal enactments,nor the multi tude of hw books that, can extirpate crime, shield against misfortune and establish peace and prosperity. The remedy and reliance are with the peo ple themselves, in the dissemination of sound principles, in the precept > and practice of social virtue, in self restraint and in tho exercise of pru dence, industry, energy, and self-reli ance. Let the people look to them-: selves, correct their errors and do right, and all will be well, even tho’ no Congress nor a Legislature should meet again in four years. Hon. Gerritt Smith, of Now York, is dead. It is said that he was the; largest landhol ler in New York. Governor Smith will be a candidate for United States Senator wlnnhisj term as Governor expires. Now wo like Smith as Governor and hope he will dq no such thing. H<>n. Thomas ■ M. Norwood is the man to b- again sent to the United States Senate. Georgians are satisfied with Senator Norwood. Boss Grant lias placed Gen. Philip Sheridan over the people of Lo tisiuna. We thought slavery times were nil over. The poor people of Louisiana will long remember Grant for this treatment. The New York Sun tells us that “there are not hundreds, but thous ands of respectable young women in New York to whom the problem of life this winter looks very serious.

The Griffin News wan ts the I'hthn-u of (lie press to p.ss nr.mud the gie bottle. Now we vuic in h<‘p< iCtliut this fellow had “swor’d off’ Dr. C. B. Adams, of Augusta, fell into the Granville canal and was drowned on Eiidav last. Judge Sc! l.*y having r signed, the Governor has appointed li my ]> Tompkins, Esq., Judge or the Eastern Circuit. Mr. Tompkins is the young est Judge in the State and is highly spokm of. We are peiiecily r: 1 1i-.ti■ i with the selection. The Atlanta News is now pi.clung ini R>the City Council because tiny propost) electing kin folks to 0t8i..- Abrams is stiung up tilings in Atlan ta and we wish him success.

Listen at what it says: Hence forth the only man who can get this paper without cash is a crippled ex soldier of either army. Such men can have the paper for nothing, if un able to pay. The following agencies on the M. & B. li< aid have been abolished: Nis 12, h, 8, It) ami 1 for tin- r. asou that it due-; not pay the road to continue them any longer. Owra (Uuu.i.tini and dlars have, been raised in Columbus for the family ol , Marshal Murphy who was .brutally ■ murdered not long since, by a desper ado. The Supreme Court will meet Moh- I day week and then adjourn until the lii at Monday in February. Six prisoners escaped from Doug las county jail the ot her day. Business has been pretty brisk in Albany this season. Jim Wilson stabbed Mae 11am in the heart, in Brooks county, on Christ mas day. The next day a young man named Alderman shot a Mr. Strick land between tho eyes. In one week recently tho Western railroad of Alabama brought to Co lumbus, en route for Savannah and New York, 1,732 bales co ton, 353 from Montgomery, 110 from Selma, 230 from Opelika, West Point, and other stations. Robinson's circus relieved Savannah of nearly three thousand dollars. The Board of Trustees of the Luna tic Asylum, elected the following offi cers for the ensuing year: Result nt Physician—Dr. Taos.

Tlieic are now 23,000 spindles and 700 looms iti operation, but will soon run 780 looms. The Savannah News has this to say of our new Jti Ige, Henry B Tomp kins, Em): Iti legal circles the ap pointing w; i oee ision lilt e surprise, as it was gem rally expected. It is neverth less a high compliment to Mr. i onpkius, ami we tenth r him our congratulations on his elevation to the bench of the most important circuit in the State. We have no doubt lie will wear the honors with dignity, and discharge the duties with ability. Mr. T -napkins has long borne th3 reputation of being among the ablest members of our bar, and ranks high in the estimation of his legal brethren for tho s mildness of his views, readiness of application, and logical reasoning. Whilst probably the youngest Judge in the State, we feel assured from our long acquain tance with and knowledge of him, •' vln ! T on-d.Mii-' will !>i< v-> him b. :o*b as he lias to the bar. ALPHONSO THE KING. The new year opens with anew government for distracted Snain, lin in' Alphonso the Twelfth proclaimed King. Amadeus seeing the state of df lire to fon shadow only iiicreasefl perils to himself and disaster t“ Spain, like a wise and good ruler ah dicated and surrendered Spian to the Spaniards that they might save tin nation. Then followed spasmodic ef forts to establish a IT public, unsuc cessful by want of union among the lead* is, lack of due educated prepa ration for a republic among the people, and the dangers resulting from the war fiercely waged by the Ourlists for supremacy. After a fil ial struggle without chart or compass, tossed by the storm, Spain seeks re pose arid safety by inviting Alphoso to ihe throne and crowning him King. Alphonso is the son of ex- Queen Isabella and has lx en at school in England, a < l'.ow student and special friend of the B ice Impe rial of the French. Alphonso is about eighteen years old, on- yen 1 older than the Pi,nee, Ins friend, and made a reputation at school as being a well disposed youth of good mind. E alv in life, without experience or character matured, he launches out on a stormy sea, to fash ion his trails and make history. In Russia he h s a friend. If lie and Spam shall keep on good terms, peace may he established and Spain have n st from troubles. The Herald of January 4Mi, pub lishes a sarcastic (ditoria] advising President. Grant to resign his office and go to Europe. This act, it claims would make him tho most popular man in the United States. The Her ald should have accepted Henry Ward Beecher. Alexander H. Stephens, Ulysses S. Grant and Governor Bard, arc third term men. We want to publish the names of the others just as soon as wi c in get the n.
