Gueat Excitement.—On the reception
of the news in this place, on Tuesday, of
the great battle between the French and
Prussians, the excitement was very high.
The news was di-xmssed on the streets
during the entire day, aud the anxious
expressions of countenances could be
cosily traced to sympathy with France
which was expressed in regret for the de
feat of Napoleon.
The excitemeut vividly readied the
times when comparatively a handful of
Southern patriots successfully contended
for four long years against the myriad
hosts aud immense resources of the Fed
eral army.

Mb. Editor : Numerous articles have
been written by yon in reference to the
Rag of Americus, for dereliction of
duty on their part as officials, and ao far i
as I know, the Mayor and City Council
have not tuken any notice whatever of the
complaints. I wish to call your attention
to another dereliction of duty on their
port in this, that one Wm. Day, a person
of color, entered tho store house of John
C. Joiner, in this place, and abstracted
from his drawer something over five dol-
change bills. That Joiner report
ed the facts to two policemen, they ar
rested said Day who admitted that he
luvd taken the money and paid five dol
lars of it bock tc Joiner. While in tin
custody of tho policemen the prisoner
brought by them before Justice John
ston, and from tho facts presented, there
was a question of doubt on bis part that
oro! e, and in order to satisfy his mind he
left the prisoner iu the custody of the po-
lioemen to go to A. R. Brown’s Law Of
fice to satisfy his mind on the question.
Upon his return tho police and prisoner
were all gone. Tho Justice issued his
warrant and placed tho same in the Ba-
lifT* hands, he called on the police for
the prisoner and they told him that they
had disclmrgetl him. It is reliably stated
by a person that, immediately upon tho
release of the prisoner he stated that he
had obtained his release by plying the
policemen $35.00, aud was going to leave,
which he did.
The question now is, how long shall we
have oflicials of thia kind discharging the
duties of onr city ? It strikes me that
those w ho retain snch should be watched
with a critic’s eye in the future.

Building and Loan Association.
No. 5.
From the workings of these associations
in other cities, it luis been demonstrated
that in abont fire years a member will by
his monthly installments have paid up
the loan advanced him. I will show you
why it is obtaining money at a less inter
est than it can bo borrowed from’ any
monied man or the Bank. Suppose for
instance that a man oonld borrow $1,000
from auy other source at 7 per cent, per
annum, which he oan not, in five years the
interest amount to $350.00, making a to
tal of $1,350.00 interest and principal.—
If he is a member of the Building and
Loan Association and holds ten shares he
entitled to hid for $2,000—now if he
pays 50 per cent premium for it, he will
have that amount deducted from the
$2,000, and receive $1,000 from the asso
ciation. Le is required to pay his one
dollar on each share as before, every
month, and to pay one dollar extra
each share os interest, making a total of
$20.00 a month. Now, in five years he
will have paid $1,200.00, or in other words
have paid back this 81,000 borrowed and
$240.00 interest, a difference in favor of
borrowing from the association of $100.00,
provided he could borrow the mon
ey from any one else at as Iowa rate as 7
per cent per annum. The stock will al
ways cominaud a good premium after the
association has been running for
dime. The Ocmulgee Stock of Macon is
worth from 35 to 45 per cent premiam
on the amount paid in. The Cobimbi
Association Stock it worth 40 per cent
premium, both been in operation three
years. Now, if a party took out 10 shares
when the association first organized, and
paid $10.00 a month for three years, he
would have paid in all $360*00 which he
can sell for $504.00 at 40 per cent pre
mium. As he has paid up the $360.00
monthly installments of $10.00 each, it
equivalent to, by general average of
having paid the $360.00 in one payment
eighteen months previous, paying a rate
of interest of abont 27 per cent, per an
num. How can the Capitalist make by
investing ? In two ways: he can always
sell his stock at a handsome profit bnt
here is how he make* the most money ont
of it He buys the loan, when money
scarce and commands a high monthly
rate of interest and when money is plcn
tiful and the demand light, he pays it
back to the association, which he can do
at any time if he so chooses. Thus he ii
enabled to borrow a few thousand dollars
at abont fl per cent per annnm, and loan
it ont from 1! to 25 percent a month,
aud not lie compelled to keep the money
any longer than he feels so disposed.

Mb. Editor : For the past six months
I have been intently watching the pro
gress of the Temperance Society,
is termed the Independent Order of Good
Templars, and have wondered much that
tlie good Church members and preachers
of our city do not join and help to ad
vance the cause of Temperance and with
that of the Church. Not long ago we
heard a respected and much-loved preach-
of the Gospel say that, “ the Church
was sufficient to] break up drunkennesa
midst ” When I reflected a mo
ment I shuddered at the thought that, in
the folds of the Church there are many,
yes, very many, who drink continually
and keep liquor in their stores for the use
of t heir friends and customers, and ferj
often, though they do not get exactly
drnnk, they become exceedingly mellow,
and yet they belong to the Church and
its power is sufficient to “break up
drunkenness. ” Now, wo don’t believe
they are interfered with, and we very oft-
ht-ar preachers sav they must “ take a
little wine for the stomach's soke, *’ and
something stronger is soon added for the
infirmities < f tho l>ody and to allay tho
appetite. Now I know from experience
this conduct on the part of Chnroh mem
bers deters many sinners from joining
those Churches. (I should have said de
nomination^, for they allow sncli things.)
The Good Templars have done mnch
good that the Churches have failed to do,
because nq Ohnrcli in this city prohibits
in any way the use of intoxicating liquors,
and a great deal mors would be done if all
would put their influence to bear against
the rice of whisky drinking. It
enough that they preach the way of sal
vation, they “should walk therein and
let their light so shine that others should
be guided thereby. ” Influence is a great
♦1,,'ng in this world, and those who would
aoe it for the glory of God mart not oavfl
kt Temperance organizations but join in
and help break the hold the old Serpent
ha* establfohj*! in onr midst through his
grog shops. I am not a member of the
Templars neither do I belong to any
Church, and as a man of the world I wish
to know why the Church-members keep
out of.

When did the Conztitntion of Georgia
go into Effect t—Another Case in
Point
In the cose, from Sumter county, O.
P. Foster, Administrator, vs. H. K.
Daniels, decided at the June Term, 1869,
of the Snpreme Court, the court unani
mously held, Mr. Justice Warner deliv
ering the opinion, os follows:
“It appears, from the record in this
case, that a trial was had between the par
ties in tire county court of Sumter coun
ty, and a verdict was rendered in favor of
the plaintiff on the 20th day of July,
1868. A motion was made in the court
below to set aside said verdict and judg
ment, on tbe ground that on the days
upon which tho verdict and judgment
purport to have been rendered and en
tered, the county court had been abol
ished by the constitution of 1868. The
motion was granted by tbe court below,
setting aside Iwth the verdict and judg
ment, which is now assigned for error
here.
“At what time did the constitution of
1868 take effect and go into practical op
eration f In our judgment, under the
Reconstruction Acts of Congress, the
Htato of Georgia !md fully complied with
the terms thereof, ratified the Four
teenth Amendment to the constitution of
the United States, and assented to the
f andamental condition imposed on her
by the act of Congress passed on the 25th
day of June, 1868; amended by Congress
os provided in the eleventh paragraph of
the eleventh article thereof, took effect
and was practically in operation from the
21*t day of Jnly, 1668. (89 Go. -Rep.,
