Thomas A Fleming, wholesale merchants, was “ broke into” on last Friday night, and a few hundred dollars worth of goods and money captured by the colored “banditti." P. 8.—Since tbc above was written one of the bandits has been arrested, and the evidence against him is very strong, as wc are informed. We hope soon to hear of the arrest of others of the gang—as there must have been more than one. Still Another. The store of Mr. R. R. Baulter, on River street, near the “ upper bridge,” was entered Saturday night and seve ral articles of merchandize taken out. The thief or thieves got into the bouse by going under the floor and removing the bricks in the hearth. The amount stolen not definitely known yet. In this connection, wc would most respectfully suggest to the Hon. Mayor and Council, a strict and rigid enforce ment of the Vagrant laws os a panacea for this as well us other "ills” by which Athens is sorely afflicted. Here is a field in which our new Chief of Po lice can distinguish himself; and we feel sure he will have the aid and co operation of every good citizen of the eitv.

Whereas, the City of Athens has contributed to the Georgia College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts 825,000, w ith which a fine Laboratory building has been constructed for said College, and, whereas, we are reliably informed that it will require the sum of $30,000 to equip said Laboratory with all the modern apparatus needed to teach and illustrate the scientific subjects taught in said College, and to enable the Professors to investigate subjects that relate to agriculture; and, Whereas, the State of Georgia has not contributed one dollar for the sup port of this College, in which so many of her sons are now being educated, free of tuition ; therefore Resolved, That we, the Patrons of Husbandry, members of Clarke County Grange, No. 101, do recommend to the Legislature of Georgia to appro priate the sum of $30,000 to said College, to be used exclusively in the purchase of the Apparatus required.

Hon. W. D. Anderson and Iloge withdrawing, the race was then between Hardeman and Bacon, both from Bibb Co. Harde man was elected by two votes. The caucus then adjourned and the House was organized by the old Clerk, L. Carrington. The exciting race then came off" for clerk, between L. Carring ton and Lieut. J. L. Sweat. Sweat seemed to be the favorite by long odds, as he had been better groomed than Carrington, and he won the heat, and race by sixty votes. Carrington done his best, but he had been over-fed on ice water the night before, and on that account lost the race. Sweat is a rising young man—he may go to Con gress. * After his election he invited the members of the House, Senate and Press, also all the applicants for sub clerk-ships (there was not many of them) to a banquet at Pease, and it was certainly one of the grandest affairs of the season, though there was no wine. There will Iks several important hills introduced this session on the repeal of the usury laws and calling a Con vention. Dr. II. II. Carlton intro duced a resolution sympathizing with down trodden-Louisisana, and thank ing our talented Senator, Hon. John B. Gordon, for his noble effort in Con gress for the people in the Southern States. The Senate elected Hon. T. J. Sim mons President, and J. W. Murphy Secretary, both good men; we have known Hon. J. W. Murphy in days gone by, and can truly say that he is the right man in the right place. The candidates for door-keeper were as numerous as the Locusts in Egypt; one man walked from Polk County to jet it, and his Senator forgot to offer his name; he is having his shoes fixed for another walk. We notice in the Clerk’s room, some ohl and familiar faces ; one or two of them have been there sacrafieiug their time and money doing the writing, since the days of Oglethorpe. Seven free-lunch houses have been destroyed since they arrived. Socrates. member approached, was Mr. Vaughn, of Caddo. This gentleman had been elected by over GOO majority. He is a tall, venerable looking old man, and when DeTrobriand approached him, he arose, and in a voice full of pathos, his whole frame trembling with emo tion, thus addressed the chair: “ Mr. Speaker. General De Tro- briand has placed his hands upon my shoulder, and tells me that I must leave this house. Mr. Speaker, I am the duly elected and legally admitted member of the House of Representa tives from the parish of Caddo. Mr. Speaker, what shall I do ?” Mr. Wiltz—“ I suggest to the mem ber to retain his scat, until he is*ejecteJ by force.” After some parleying and apparent hesitation on Gen. DeTro- briand’s part, who seemed to feci keen])’, the humiliation of his jiosition, a file of soldiers was ordered in, and, with fixed bayonets, ranged themselves on either side of the stout-hearted old patriot. Mr. Vaughn then rose, and with uplifted arm and in a sonorous voice, which rang through the hall, exclaimed: “ Mr. Speaker, in the name of the people of the parish of Caddo, and in the name of the people of Louisiana, and in the name of American liberty, I solemnly protest against this unwarranted and ou'rage- ous action! And I desire that my protest lie spread upon the minutes.”— Then the old gentleman, with head aloft and eyes flashing fire, submitted to his captors, and was marched down the aisle and out of the hall. It was a scene never to be forgotten hv those who witnessed it, and should lie seized upon by some artist equal to themo, and fixed u|>on canvass in unfadiug colors.—.V. O. Picayune.

Long live the gallant sons and daughters of the Palmetto State. i OdT We have received a lengthy communication from a “ Yotrxo Farmer.” Wc condense his ideas as follows:— v , Negro lalior with plantation supplies purchased in St. Louis for support of same while cultivating cotton at 12 cents per lb., will not pay. If wc did not plant any cotton whatever this year, the South would be master of the situation, both, financially and politically. Finally, he states that we can make our farms self-supporting— as our soil and climate will allow us to grow successfully, everything we consume, except coffee. DR. CARLTON’S RESOLUTIONS. In another column will he found the resolutions of our memlier in the House, in condemnation of the Louisiana out rage. We hope the Legislature will take prompt action in the matter. Penn sylvania has gone ahead, and Georgia is bound to follow. THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS. We would be very happy to report in full the debates in this body on the I*ouisianaqucstion, showing how Thur man, Gordon and Bayard, with their grand eloquence, cowed the great lead ers of the Radical party in the Senate. President Grant has apologized to the Nation, in his recent message, in regard to Sheridan’s dispatches and their endorsement by the Secrctarv of War. General Sheridan would, no doubt, ok3 a good Governor of Alaska, where lie could incarcerate at will the Polar Bear, Seals and Walruses, with out a writ of habeas corpus for their res cue, but he is not t he man to rule over the descendants of the heroes who de feated Packenhain at New Orleans. Death of Honorable < iarnett McMillan. We are pained, sadly, deeply, to an nounce the death of the above named gentleman. Just on the threshold of life, gifted as few are, the idol of his people, with everything bright before him, he is cut down. A pure patriot, an earnest follower of Christ, a loving husband and father, a devoted brother, a suc cessful, though modest man in every field he entered—an honest, brilliant man has passed away. 'What nobler epitaph can he written ? Cotton Manufaetnre. The editor of the Columbus Enqui rer, has lieen permitted to see a letter from the superintendent of one of the largest mills in the North. The sub joined extract will show how very “ blue” manufactures in New England are: “The mills all through this section of country, are doing a ruinous busi ness. We, for two months, have been running two thirds’ time, and piling up goods, at that. There is no profit for us in the goods we are making, but we keep our looms running and our help from starving, and that is all. Our inten tion is, when we resume full time, to reduce wages ten per cent. Our mills made enough in July, August and September, to juiy the stockholders a small dividend, hut the adjoining mills pay no dividend and go $1,600 in debt.” The Enquirer rather proudly com pares the condition of Southern mills with this exhibit of decay at the North, and refers to the ten per cent, dividend just declared by the Eagle and Phoenix, of Columbus. H adds: “The past has been the severest year manufacturers all over the coun try ever experienced, and while at the Ninth the largest and best mills have been idle or running on small profit, yet, still all the largest mills of the South have declared dividends, ami have been run on lull time. “ In some instances, some encroach ment may have been required on pre vious reserves, but this onlv shows the wisdom of ample reserves ; iiie unusu al strength of the companies. “The Augusta and Gmniteville have declared dividends; and now the Eagle & Plimiiix publishes its regular bulletin of joy to its numerous stock holders that it will pay them during this year one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars (8125,000) in divi dends.” This is certainly a remarkable state ment of facts, and should encourage the building of mills ami manufacture of cotton at the South.—Augusta Con stitutionalist.
