" AMONG OUR NEIGHBORS A negro in a neighboring county re quested » }’oung lady to take a ride with him. whereupon the l&dy s bud gave, the d»rkev a tremendous whipping. The point of order was well taken, and the (hair decides that in future this rule will prevail. And now Vic Woodhull is going to lec ture in Georgia. Well,—but then we’ll tee wiial we'll see. Capt. Amos J. Love has been unani- oously re-elected Clerk of Council at Thomasville. our young friend W. Horton Branch, formerly of Bainbridge, was married on the hist ult., to Miss Bailie Thornton, of Lumpkin, Stewart county. Health and happiness, Horton. Kay ton, of Quitman, is getting up a rice, bright little paper; but we venture suggest to our friend not to publish any more letters from Washington such as the one contained in the last issue. That let ter was vastly out of place in a Southern democratic paper, and the writer of it un doubtedly a Republican—not only a Re publican, but a partisan of Blaine. Cairo thinks site will soon be the capi tal of a new county. Altogether a matter of opinion, you see. Valdosta has organized a Library Asso ciation. The Time* says it is doing well, and the new building i9 rapidly being built. The Sumter Republican says that Hill’s epoch was “the right thing made by tbe right man in the right place and at tbe right time.” That is putting it strong— but hardly too strong. The amateurs of Quitman are goiug to give an entertainment to procure funds to build a band stand. Thomasville Guards are going to cxcurt to Montieello, Florida. Quitman will have a scraper to scrape her street. This is scraping up old things. Thomasville Enterprise: For several 6w--o several young men, or good sired boys, have been practicing on-a tight mpe, in rear of the stores on Broad street. On Wednesday last one of them fell and broke Ids arm. Better be doing some thing more useful and less dangerous, boys. Mr. Win. Winters was run over and killed on the track of the A. & G. R.

Dawson has a young dramatic club, and the ladies of the Methodist church, of that city, inive organized a mite society. We find this item in the Dawson Jour no/,: “Oh, ma! there’s an angel with wings,” exclaimed a five year old child a few days past, as he looked at one of our Dawson girls with her ears spread. Camilla Enterrrise : The citizens’ Tax Bill was sustained by Judge Wright part ly. lie ordered the Tax Collector to col lect sixty-four per cent, on the State tax —a decrease of 146 per cent, from the as sessment of the County Commissioners. Judge Wright’s last order is for twenty- five per cent more on the late order— making in all, as per his order, 89 per cent, upon the State tax. which Capt. Twitty will proceed to collect. The Quitman Reporter says that that town is over stocked with babies, and the cry is still they come. Fort Faines was made wild the other day by the Steamer Big Boot going up with a string band and serenading the people. Camilla is improving. The Enterprise says. Messrs James Baggs and P. B. Twitty have each begun the erection of handsome and commodious residences. In Albany, says the News, business changes, dissolutions, &c., are the order of the day. . Albany News : The Lockett B. & A.

THE FIVE CITIES- Under this nead we condense the latest intelligence from Georgia’s five most im portant cities : ATLANTA. We find the following humorous paragraph in the Atlanta Herald : “Miss Alay Lonez, a beautiful Baltimore belle, now in Savannah, will take in the Georgia Legislature at the Markham House on her return northward.” The Herald is authoritv for the report that Hon. A. H. Stephens writes to a Washington friend that-lie has abandoned all hope of being able to take bis seat in the House of Representatives during the winter, and that he has no intention of resigning. The Atlanta papers are worse than a a pack of Kilkenny cats. They Squirm and grumble all the time. Herald: .There are only six white headed men in the Senate. There are others whose whiskers are gray but bain dark. D’ye see it ? The Grand Lodge of B’Nai Brith is in session. Thus the Herald comments on a com munication from upper Georgia, signed * ‘Gloveless North Georgia:” “The main point contained in the letter is a thrfeat(wbtch our correspondent as sures us, in a private letter, is “no mere threat,’’) that, unless the Legislature grants State aid to the amount of #100,000 to the Marietta, and North Georgia Bail- road, the Democracy of North Georgia will solidly wheel into line against the ty, and support the Independent-Re publican candidate. Now, we do not believe the Democracy of North Georgia will do anv such thing. Such Democrats as need $*100,000 subsidies, once in a while, to keep them in the traces, can be spared very easily. In fact,- they are of the sort that might leave the party for the party’s good. We do not believe that the stout Democracy of North Georgia— always the pride, and frequently the sal vation of the State—is made of such miserable stuff. The murder of citizens of North Geor gia by the Federal authorities has become so frequent that recently two United States soldiers were arrested and confined in the Fulton county jaO. They were, however, turned over to the United States Courts under writs of habeas corpus. SAVANNAH Savarrimhls enjoying her race* muchly. Joseph W. Pinder has been appointed Lieutenant of the United States Army, and will be commissioned next June. News : Of course that Junction Branch has done harm to Savannah. Of twenty- seven passengers from the North who ar rived on the afternoon train, tweDty-three stopped at the hotels and four went through to Florida.

The colored Methodist Conference has resolved to petition the Governor to par don Tunis G. Campbell, The riot case against the Russells, who, some time ago, assailed Col. A. R. Lamar, is in progress. In the month of December Brunswick’s exports amounted to $43,400 ; St Mary’s to $9,700 and Savannah’s to $6,009,130. Only New York, New Orleans and Gal veston exceed the latter in December. Of imports Savannah received $26,224, and the other Georgia ports not a dollar’s worth. Savannah is having “Valentine” parties. There was some speculation in tickets to Booth’s entertainment, and various parties boast of having made a raise. A Spanish gunboat arrived at this port yesterday from New York, via Charleston, en route for Havana. She will be used as a tender to the Spanish fleet in Cuban waters. AUGUSTA. Sacred Concert at St Paul’s church. Cotton dull and tending down. A ball in honor of the officers of the frigate Congress will be given on board one of the vessels, at Port Royal, in a few days. Severed citizens have been invited to attend. The Constitutionalist says : A bill passed the Senate of Georgia recently exempting -lawyers, physicians, dentists and photo graphers from all taxes, save the tax levied by the State. If we are Hot grievously mistaken, this is a singular piece of legislation. We have not seen the bill, but understand that, the gist of the matter is as we have stated it. Now, what reason exists for exempting lawyers, physicians, dentists aud photographers, from any burden of taxation that does not apply with equal force to merchants and farmers, not to speak of other people who constitute the body politic ? We should be thankful for light on this subject. MACON Judge Hill is seriously sick, and unable to hold Court. The Legislative Committe upon the Georgia Academy for the Blind reached the city last night, and will visit and in spect tha( institution to-day. Hon. D. D.

The Columbus Enquirer, of Sunday, says : A friend tells us that a very in fluential railroad agent, conversant with the tide, reports that fourteen to fifteen thousand people, mostly negroes, have passed over his road on their way to Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. The Bnqutrer thinks Columbus will receive 10,000 bales of cotton during the balance of the season. Charlie Ballou, of Columbus, accidently had the forefinger of his right hand cut off in the Eagle and Pkenix mills. CONGRESSIONAL NEWS Washington, January 81.—The Ap propriation; Committee heard arguments m" favor of a simplify the existiing laws imposing duties on imports, and to reduce taxation; also, to simplify the appraisement of goods, wares and merchandise imported and subject to ad valorem duties.

Washington, February 1st.—House— Tbe Senate bill removing the disabilities of George 8. Hawkins, of Florida, lias been passed. The House took up as a special order tbe proposed amendment to the Constitution reported from the Judiciary Committee, which is that no person who has held, or who'may hereafter hold, . the office of President shall ever again be' eligible to said office. To this proposition Frye, of Maine, member of the Judiciary Committee, of. fered the following as a substitute : From and after the fourth day of March, in the year 1885, the term of office of the President and Vice President of the United States shall taehix years, and any person having been elected and held the office of President, oi who for two years has held such office, shall be ineligible to re-election. The bill- was discussed by Knot, New, Frye, Mctlrery, Caulfield, Lawrence and - Harrison. Knott gave notice that he would call the previous question on Wednesday at the expiration of the morning hour. The Judiciary Committee reported a bill reorganizing the Judiciary of the United States. It was made the special order for the 16th of February. The bill provides for a circuit court in each judi cial district, and establishes in each circuit a court of appeals, which is to have appellate jurisdiction in cases arising in courts within each circuit. The terms of the court of appeals are to be held Boston, Albany, Philadelphia, Richmond, New Orleans, Louisville, Chicago, St Louis ami San Francisco. The decision of these courts of appeal are to be finaj and conclusive, but a review upon the laws may be had on a writ of error or ap peal to the United States Supreme Court, where the matter in controversy exceeds the sum or value of $10,000, or where the adjudication involves a constitutional question or any treaty or law of the United States, or where the court shall certyfy that it involves a legal question of sufficient importance to require a final de cision by the Supreme Court.

The New York Graphic nominates Mr. Lamar for the second place on the Democratic) national ticket. The Hon. Mr. Starkweather the on ly Radical Congressman from Connect icut, died last week. Cars are being built South like re frigerators. They are to be used in conveying tropical fruits next summer to Chioago via Nashville.

The new census of Texas shows that the State has a population of about one million two hundred and seventy-five thousand, as compared with a popula tion of eight hundred and eighteen thousand in 1870. Governor Chamberlain declares there is not a man in South Carolina who will trust ex-Governor Moses for $10. If there’s a man in the State who will trust him for a nickel, blind confidence in human nature must be largely devel oped hi South Carolina. It is announced that Miss Bettina de Rothschild, eldest daughter of Baron Alphonse Rothschild, of Paris, is to b Carried next spring to her cousin, Baron Albert Rothschild, of Vienna. She is going to do very well, as the young man’s father is said to be a man of some means. Her own father, too, is understood to be in comfortable cir cumstances himself. Wbipper evidently believes with Senator John J. Patterson, that there are yet five years’ good stealing in South Carolina, and is enraged that Chamberlain will net let him and Moses begin. This loss of time annoys him. In passing the Centennial bill the House amended it so as to take man agement of the fund out of the hands oof the Philadelphia people and place it under the oontrol of Gen.
