Ectill, of the F»vannah Xc*» has been appointed aid-de-camp to the Governor with the rank of colonel. ^ All tax collectors are ordered by the < Comptroller General to close their books on December IMh. and issue execution, for nil unpaid taxes. The Macon Jeltgraph thinks the Democrats need a little “backbone.” This is the season for backbones, and ribs go very well, too. The New York Graphic is of the opinion that the State, of Georgia and llliuois are in a better condition finan cially than any other States of the Vn- Hon. dames L. Pugh, of Knfaula, will succeed the late Governor Houston as Senator from Alabama. He was nominated by the Democratic * anens last Thursday. tioveroor dames I». Williams, of In diana, better known as “Blue deans Williams,” lied at Indianapolis Sat nrday of inflammation of the bladder, from which he hail suffered for about 1.'» years. General Grant has had a special placed at his disposal by the directors of the Pennsylvania railroad, to be used when he wishcis it. Several western roads have already done the same thing. Another step toward Imperialism. It is estimated that by the next ap portionment of representation in con gress, New I'.ngland will lose four, the Middle States six, the South gain three and the West gain seven. By the new ratio there will be one Representative to one hundred anil seventy thousand inhabitants. Another split is developing in the New York Democracy. This time the trouble is in the Irving Hall division of the party, and Tammany has nothing to do with it. Well, we are content, and shall l*c if they divide into as many wings as there are feathers on the great American eagle. A« Important SUL A few day, since Mr. Garrard, of Muscogee, introduced in the honse the following important bill. Being of general interest we print the bill in GEXEB&L ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA. Atlanta, Ga., November 22. The Senate met at. ten o'clock and was called to order by the President. After Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Clarice, representative from Wayne county, tbe roll wa, called and tbe journal w« read and approved. Mr. Gorman, of the 25th, trope to a question of privilege and called upon the Socretary to read the following ex tract from the Columbn, Enquirer-Sun of the 18th of November: “A change has certainly come over tbe dreams of some of onr legislators. A lew weeks ago, during tbe canvass for Senatorial honors in the 25th dis trict, Hon. W. It. Gorman _ | the streets of this city by an Enquirer- ~ reporter, and stated to the reporter Section First—Be it enacted by the . jeneral Assembly of the State of Geor gia that the following be added as an amendment and an additional clause to the second section of the seventharticle of the constitution of this State, and hall be' numbered as paragraph sixth, The General Assembly shall not levy .»r cause to be levied an ailralorem tax on real or personal property which shall exceed two and one-half tenths of 0“ ’ per centum for any of the purposes a thorized by this constitution except pay the principal of the public debt the gentlemen there, naming the gentle men, had tohl him that parties in tl' Sec.

And the Governor shall by proclamation an nounce the result of said election, and if said amendment shall receive a majority of the said qualified voters, the tioveroor shall declare the same adopted. Sec. Third—Repeals conflicting laws. ••Re Organization." UntA Gazette. Some Southern Democratic pa{>ers appear to be shocked at the idea that a new organization of political parties is de probable if not necessitated, by course of events and the results of the late elections. Rut we want the l. Are there any po litical parties in the country standing upon a platform of principles or policy if administration that admits of per- If so, what arc those prin ciples, an<l where is the dividing line' \v. • The New York Tm i proposition t et has originated i fund of not less than |250,O0O the yeaily income from which shall lie paid to the oldest living cx-President of the United States. Sub scriptions arc invited from both politi cal parties, and the amount subscribed the first day was $0,100. We are for the Solid South on a basis of local, self-government, self-support and true independence, materially and commercially, hut we oppose her solid ity as a section against a section, and Utterly object to seeing her again array ed against a solid North. She li nothing to gain by it, and, eventually, she may lose all. All the weather prophets arc unani mous in predicting a winter of tremen dous severity. The professional proph ets particularly appear to be more con fident than ever before. Mr. Vennor, who on former occasions has been re markably successful in his predictions, foresees a terrible snowstorm to com mence somewhere on the 22d of De cember. The Democratic papers of Tennessee Claim a majority in the Legislature of that State, assnring the election of a Democratic United States Senator. It is said to he yet doubtful which party has a majority in tho California Legis lature, the division is so clo*;. With Democratic Senators from Tennessee an<l Nevada, the Senate after the 4tb of March next will still have a small Democratic majority. “A change of only 15,000 votes, rightly districted in the State of New York, Connecticut and Indiaua, would have given General Hancock as large majority of the electoral votes as Gar field’s” But it was precisely for tho* 15,000 Votes, “rightly distributed” i those States, that the Republicans wer smart enough to strike for, with sleeves rolled up, and without allowing their stomachs to he turned by the means sorted to get’enr. The Rev. George Newbold ran bakery while pastor of the Methodist church at Bartonvitle, Canada, and further diversified his pursuits by forg ing checks. While serving imprisonment for his crimes, at Belle ville, he made love to the warden’s wife, and on his release eloped with her. On his wedding tour he visited Mansfield, Ohio, and accidentally • meeting the Rev. Mr. Gilroy, who had once tl nonneed him, gave that gentleman sound whipping. He is now to be pros ecuted for bigamy, because he has three d where We have asserted, and still maintain, that the latest contest was not one of antagonistic principles of policies. The nearly agreed upon all subjects of national policy that we cannot perceive the essential difference. *~s say all subjects, but unfortunately ought to except one, which tter of feeling rather than of defi- s policy. We allude to the apparent disposition of each towards the South. Unquestionably the Republicans sue ceeded in "solidifying” the North by arraying it in jealous antagonism to the South. Rut is this a sentiment division of parties that we shonld to see |»erpetuated? What have the South to gain by it, or to hope from it? As we asked last week, a wc content to be made indefinitely buffet for the two parties at the North to kick back and forth in their contest! for political power; or shonld we no rather demand to know what they art fighting about before wc couscnt to lx thus used any longer? Now we do not want any of om readers to jump to the conclusion that , we arc proposing a disbandment” of the Democratic party because wc ask these questions. But wc do insist that the Democrats of the South should «lc- d that their allies at the North I join them in proposing a national policy or system ot mcas- ill dwarf and terminate this miserable and hnrtful sectional divis ion—that will swallow it up as Aaron’s rod swallowed the Egyptian serpents. We have nothing to gain, but every thing to lose, by national contests founded npon sectional divisions. We have always lost in such contests, and always will lose, liecansc the party at the North that sides with ns has to breast a tide of sectional sentiment which it cannot withstand. If a sec tional line is drawn, the strongest sec tion must win, because the very easi est task of a political demagogue is that of rallying the people of his own section to the maintenance of their own asserted rights, whether they be real or only pretended. If we want to make even a hopeful contest for political power, ’ upon a platform of principle uies tha*. will concern the people of the whole country and interest them in * support. We must make sharp iss with the opposing party—whcthei be called Republican or whatever else —npon such a policy, and wc must ly upon the strength of such a national policy, and not npon any sectional f lidity, to win the fight for us. Ceitainly the presentation of sucli policy will have the effect of breaking party line) to some extent. It will sop arate from us some classes at the North that have lately acted with us, and it will draw to ns others that have oppos ed ns on the sectional qnestions that have for so long a time been paramount Bnt we will risk nothing by the change. Call it disbandment, re-organization, nr what you will, wi for our national contests, and whenev er such issues are distinctly presented and made the basis of a political cam paign, party lines and sectional lines mnst be broken; and that is just what we want to s Rrown man, but such He stated that he was anti-Colquitt and anti-due Brown, and if his name shonld appear in print in any other way he would be glad that the reporter would make the correction, and state that it was from ant hority of Mr. Goruian him self.

As to these dis tinguished gentlemen, I was strictly neutral from the opening to the close of canvass. The reflections contained the article are unjust and uncalled , and as the language used by me s not admit of the construction which has been placed upon it, I there- re denounce it from my seat in this mate as being positively untrue in ery particular.” After transacting a little unimport ant business the chair announced that the hour had come for the Senate to re pair to the house and continue the con- ion of Solicitor General. So.with- moment’s delay, the Senate form- o ami two and repaired. The Senate got back and adjourned to three o’clock r AVTERNOOX SESSION’. The Senate met at three o’clock, and was called to order by the President. These bills were read the fit at time: Mr. Smith, ot the 5th—A bill to amend article 8 of the constitution of Georgia.

Anchisi, genteel appearance and excellent a dress, who falsely represents himself being connected with the secret servi division of the treasury department, now traveling in the Sonth, and, by means of forged drafts on New Yoi * and the use of stolen and altered regis tered bonds, is swindling persons out of large snma of money. Chief Brooks, of the secret service, says he shonld be arrested wherever found and committed as a vagrant nntil some of his tram ons victims have an opportunity to stitute proceedings for his extradition and punishment. How to Save Meat. The Early Connty Xetrs has been given by a farmer of experience a plan for saving meat, which may bo profita ble to somebody who has hogs enough to have more than one killing. If formant says that if he could have fa vorable weather for the first killing, he was not particular as to the weather for the next. His plan is, when he salts down the second killing, to put a layer of the old meat on each layer pf the new. This plan, he thinks, secures the fresh meat from spoiling even in moderately weather—at least he has always been successful in saving it in that way Tbe Presidential Electors will meet at the several State capitals on the first Wednesday in December and vote for President and' Vice President. The law prescribes tbst these votes sball be opened and counted before Congress on .tbe second Wednesday in February and tbe result declared. by Rev. W. E. Boggs, D. D.

A solid North made , Solid Sonth, a solid South will con tinue a solid North, at least for years tg come the South can expect nothing from the North as it now stands, the very fact jthat the South endorses a man is sufficient cause for the North to reject him—but let the Sonth stand aloof from party cliques and rings and national conventions, and cast her vote for the man that comes nearest her views and principles, and it will i be long before the North will begin bid for the Southern vote with n that will be acceptable to ns, a thing that we cannot now get. Wc want a solid country, we want peace and bar- monv, we want union, we want to poll np the chasms, bridge tho rivers, we want legislation for the good of the whole nation, not one part against the other in sectional strife.

[From our Regular Correspondent ] Washington, D. C. Nov. 20, *80. Washington has, during the preset week, began to resume its society smile and political panoply. The ecutivc and his cabinet has at length settled down in their homes. Foreign ministers, attaches of legislation, mili tary and naval officers may be again seen driving or promenading on the great boulward that stretches from the Treasury Department to the Capitol. Pretty government clerks and dashing parvenudum, exulting in government contracts, vie in tbe display of French costumes and Americau manners Pennsylvania Avenne. In a short time the political mill, Yanity Fair, and Mammons Coart will be again in pi imity at the only place where they be seen in such development on this side the globe. What are these to us, or we to them, that we should read about them, or write about them? Cannot every American citizen find sufficient political excitement or annoyance it the affairs of his township, municipal ly, connty or State? And as for the other sex, have they not social realms of their own—little pent up Uticas of fashion, narrow and provincial, we may call them, bnt they contain the germ and elements of all that we see in Wash- ington, Boston, or the proudest co' of Europe. It is well for one ei< badly or mentally to get oat of his castomed environment fora little while and, as distinguished investigators ha not thonght it beneath them to stndy the lowliest forms of existence, the American citizen and citoyenne will find their horizon broadened, their pleas ure and usefulness enhanced, by keep ing the run of political affairs and so- tenderness at the only seat bf national government that is directly assessable to them. It is a fatal mistake to sup pose, like Dr. Johnson, that there nothing worth seeing outside of Lou don, but there are those who an Dr. Johnson to the extent that they be lieve in the universality of their village. It is not expected that the coming session will be very interesting in itself; no one knows what a Congress may bring forth, bnt there will be no lack of interest in official and political circles in relation to the new. administratioi Preparations for the inaugural cen mony on the 4th of March are well ut der way, and the pageant is expected to excel all previous inaugural display! Hotels and boarding-honsesare expect ing a golden harvest, and preparations are making to accommodate in tents the various volunteer military organizations that have signified their intention of visiting the Capital, at that time, to take part in the inangnral parade. The inaugural ball will be held in the Na tional Museum, which has jnst been completed. This edifice is spacious, .having, perhaps, the largest single, un seated hall in the United 8tatea, and it Irill no donbt accommodate all who can pay the exhorbitant entrance fee usually charged on inch occasions. — Catarrh Sometimes with a cold, hat its cure Sage’s CatarrlT Remedy. ’ This old, reliable, and well-known remedy has stood the test of yean, and was never more popular than now. 1881.
