There's music in a lady’s foot,
And well the ladies know it;
And she who has a pretty one
Is pretty sure to show it;
At times yon, too, are martyred by
The nicest little ankle,
That shoots an arrow through yonr eye,
Within your heart to rankle.
But when it trips along the streets,
Through wind, and mud, and vapor,
By sheerest accident you see
How beautiful the taper ;
And as it sleps upon the walk, «.
Amid the crowd to mingle,
Two roguish eves look up and say
I wonder if he's single.

Lying.
The art of lying has attained a de
gree of perfection in modern times,
which disappoints the expectation of
its most sanguine votaries, Indeed I
am not venturing t *o much to assert,
it is a science. The only objection
which, even the most punctilious, could
suggest, to this definition, is, that a
science can only be learned by study ;
whereas, we lieintentively. “ All men
are liars.” Nothing is truer, in Holy
Writ. We begin our earthly career
and end it by lying.
It may he proper to distinguish
between what is called bare face lying
ami secret lying, between malicious
and wicked lying and that species of
lying, denominated fashionable. And,
in the first place, we say a man is a
bare faced liar, when he lies for the
love of it; not because he feels it will
add one cubit to his statue, or take
one from the statue of his neighbor,
but he simply loves to roll the lie un
der his tongue as a “sweet morsel.”
Familiar examples of this class of liars
may be seen among lawyers, bankers,
wholesale, retail and eommisicn mer
chants.
Secret liars are those, to be sure,
who lie secretly. They ordinarily
profess a great veneration for truth
and will tell it, when it is popular or
profitable. They will pot lie openly,
but steal marches on the truth and
persuade themselves that the essence of
crime is the being caught at it.
“These are they who devour widows
houses and for pretence make long
prayers.” They come to you in“ sheeps
clothing,” but inwardly they are ra
vening wolves.
Malicious lying has the ingredient
of malice ; which is an evil disposition
to injure another without cause. Os
.all classes of liars, these are the most
to be feared. They lie not because
they love it, but because they enjoy its
effects. They only differ from “snakes
in the grass ” in that they search for
their victims, and spit their infernal
venom without fastening their fangs
A secret liar may not be malicious,
but a malicious liar is apt to be secret.
They poison and defile whatever they
touch. Such are slanderers, libelers,
sneaks and “white livered louts,”
whose hearts are set on fire of Hell.”
Lastly, we come to speak of fashion
üblj liars. Their name is legion.
They are in the gay ball room, where
trips the light fantastic # toe ; in the
palace, in the cottage, where love
tells of dreams it never dream’t and
speaks of flames it never felt. May it
not sometimes raise its diminished
form over the sacred alter, where
“mated hearts are mutual bound” (in a
horn)? and glide quietly “in tenues au
ras ' from maiden lips, which whisper,
yes! when the heart says no ! May it
not peep above the pulpit and betray
the tender fold with a kiss? And ye
mighty men of the quill who write
“ great swelling words ” of praise to
everything you see or hear or smell,
or taste, or feel ; are you not liable to
the charge? Your well preserved
files are as full of fashionable lying as
an egg is of meat.
You say of Mr. A’s speech, it was
eloquent; when the truth is you didn t
hear it, and have seen no one who did.
You say it was a fine sermon ; when
you were fast asleep during its deliv
ery. Yon say Miss A. is the belle of
So and So, when Miss A. wears a wig,
false teeth, false curls, false everything,
and is homely as a dyed bank or a
martin pole. A'ou thank people for
splendid presents, which yon purchas
ed at cost. Everydody has the finest
cake, the host beer, the largest pota
toes, the sweetest onions, the longest
beans, the best corn, the yellowest
pumpkins, the fattest baby, you ever
“ seed ”er most.’ And, lie outright
for just nearlj anything. But after
all “jolly, brisk and free,” and the
world would do poorly without you.
If in these reflections, I have woun
ed any one, to him I say, my love for
lying is no less than his.

Mr. James Parton says:
With regard to tlie daily drinking of
wine ami whiskey, by ladies and oth
ers, for a mere debility, it is a delusion.
In such cases wine is, in the most lit
eral sense of the word ‘a mocker.”—
It seems to nourish, but does not ; it
seems to warm, but does not; it seems
to strengthen, but does not, it is an
arrant cheat, and perpetuates the evils
it is supposed to alleviate.
CAKROIXTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 14, 1873.
The Apportionment Bill.
Interesting Debase in the House. —
Ihe New Counties Given Pepre
respntation.—The Bill Passes by
Nifty Hive Majority.
The debate in the House yesterday
on the apportionment bill was the
most interesting discussion that has
taken place during the present session.
Mr Long moved to amend the re
port of the judiciary Committee, re
commending its passage, by striking
out “\\ alton” in the list of counties
entitled to two Representatives, and
inserting the county of Carroll.
SPEECH CF MR. LONG.
- he census of 1870 shows that Car
roll had a population of 11,782? Wal
ton 11,038 ; Jackson, 11,181; Macon,
11,458 ; Dougherty, 11,517; Burke,
17,679. Carroll had over Walton 744;
over Jackson, 601; over Macon 324 ;
over Dougherty 275.
To give to each of these counties
two members each, and Burke three
apportioned by the census of 1870,
would give to each member from Car
roll, 5,891, constituents; Burke, 5,893;
Walton, 5,519 —Walton having 372
less to the member than Carroll, and
374 less than Burke.
The Judiciary Committee, in mak
ing their report, thought that, inas
much as the county of Douglas had
been created by the act of 1870, and
included a portion of Carroll, that the
population had been reduced below
the population of these counties;
hence they gave to Walton, Jackson,
Macon and Dougherty two members
each and to Carroll only one member.
The comittee, however, overlooked
this important fact that the most pop
ulons part of Carroll county which
had been included in Douglas county,
as well as a very thickly settled por
tion of Campbell county originally,
had been added to Can-oil by an act
of the Legislature of December, 1871,
and which equaled if not exceeded, in
population the number taken from
Carroll in the organization of the
county of Douglas.
I think tne member elect from
Douglas as well as the members of
Campbell and Heard, will fully sustain
my statement.
But I don’t stop here ; I propose to
rely on reliable statistics obtained in
the i omptroller-General’s and Secre
tary of States’ ofiiee.
In 18 0 the polls returned in Cars
roll were 1,836.
In 1870 the polls returned in Wal
ton were 1,644 or 192 less than Car*
roll. Jackson less than Carroll, and
also Macon and Dougherty.
It will be observed that these two
teststhat about the same ratio is main
tabled. That Carroll had a major ty
in population of 744, and of polls of
192.
No w contrast this with the Comp
troller-Generals report of 1873, giving
the polls of 1872.
By that report Carroll had 1,861
polls
Walton had 1,646 polls, or 225 less
than Carroll
Let us go still further :
That-Carroll had in 1872 35 more
polls than she had in 1870, and Wal
ton only two more polls than 1870.
To give Carroll two members and
apportion by the polls of 1870, would
give one member to 918 polls.
To give Carroll two members and
apportion by the polls of 1870 would
give one member to 918 [tolls.
To give Carroll two members and
apportion by the [tolls returned in
1872 would give each member 935
polls.
To give Walton two members and
apportion by the polls of 1870 would
give to each member 822.
To give Walton two members and
apportion by the polls of 1872 would
give to each member 823 polls.
Again. The election returns for
October, 1872, for President in 1872,
and for county officers in January,
1873, all show the same result, and
the same proportion is maintained.
Mr. Speaker, don’t these last tests
conclusively [trove that Carroll is
clearly entitled to two members be
fore Walton, and that to apportion by
the census ot 1870, can work no in
justice to other counties, and that
Can oil should be given two members
before Walton and Jackson counties,
and that Walton being weaker than
Jackson should be stricken from the
bill.
Vote of the counties compared :

Carroll 1,828
Walton 1,487
Hancock 1,808
Jackson 1,309

Dougherty 1,433
Burke 1,952
MIL MCDANIELS* SPEECH.
Mr. McDaniel said that it was a
sufficient reply to the argument ad
van cement by ’the gentleman from
Carroll to state that be went before
the Judiciary Committee. Senator
Kibbee offiered a bill at the last ses
sion, which gave Walton an addition
al Representative. The county of
Douglas has been taken from CarrolL
It was not just to take from Walton
and add to Carroll. Douglas, the part
taken from Carroll, would be enti
tled to a Representative anyhow.
MR. LONGLEYS SPEECH.
Mr. Longley seated that the new
counties were clearly entitled to rep
resentation. The apportionment
should he made according to facts and
figures. The census governs the mat
ter. If they establish the fact that
\\ alton has the largest population,
then she is entitled to it.
IXDEFINITE POSTFONEMEXT.
Mr. T urnbull moved to indefinitely
postpone the bill, which was lost,yeas
39, nays 74.
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
On motion the House went into the
Committee of the Whole, Mr. Mercer
in the chair.
MIL Lyon’s SPEECH.
Mr. Lyon moved that the commit
tee rise and report the bill back with
the recornendation that it do not pass.
The apportionment could not be
changed until after the next census.
mr. summerlix’s speech.
The census of 1870 shows that Car
roll had a population of 11,782; Wal
ton 11,038; Jackson, 11,181 ; Macon,
11,458 ; Hancock, 11,317 ; Dougher
ty, 11,517: Burke, 17,679. That Car
roll had over Walton, 744; Carroll
Lad over Jackson 601; Carroll over
Macon, 324 ; Cairoll over Hancock,
465 ; Carroll over Dougherty, 275.
That to give Carroll, Macon, Han
cock, Dougherty two members each
and Burke three members, to be ap
aportioned by the census of 1870,
would give Carroll, to each member,
5,891 inhabitants ; to Burke, to each
member 5,893 inhabitants; to Walton,
to each member 4 519 inhabitants, or
less to the member by 372 than Cai
roll, or 374 less than Burke. (New
ton is cut by Rockdale).)
The Judiciary Committe in making
their report were not in possession of
all the facts, and thought that in ass
much as the county of Douglas had
been created after the census of 1870
had been taken, and which included a
portion of Carroll, that possibly the
population of Carroll had been re
duccd below the population of Wal
ton, Dougherty, Macon, Jackson and
Newton, hence they gave Carroll only
one member. The committee over
looked the fact that the most populous
part of the territory that had been in
cluded in Douglas county as well as a
very thickly setled port ion .of Cambell
county originally, had been added to
Can oil by an act of the Legislature of
December, 1871, and which included
a population equal to, if not greater
than the population taken from Car
roll in the organization of Douglas
county.
This is conclusively proven by the
report of the Comptroller General of
1873, giving the number of polls of
each county returned in 1872, and
also the election returns of October,
1872 :
From that report Carroll had in
1872 1,871 polls.
Walton had in 1872 1,646 polls.
Dougherty had in 1872 1,741 polls.
JaGkson had in 1872, 1,711 polls.
Macon had in 1871 1,590 polls.
Newton had in 1871 1,631 polls.
Carroll over Walton, 225 polls.
Carroll over Jackson, 160 polls.
Carroll over Macon, 281 polls.
Carroll over Dougherty, 130 polls.
Carroll over Newton, 241 polls.
To allow Burke three members, by
the polls of 1872, would give to each
member from Burke 943 polls.
r r o give Carroll two members, would
allow to each member 935 polls.
To give Wal ton two members,
would allow to each member 823 polls.
To give Jackson two members,
would allow to each member 855 polls.
To give Macon two members,
would allow to each member 785 polls.
To give Dougherty two members,
would allow to each member 870 polls.
To give Newton two members,
would allow to each member 815 polls.
The election returns of October,
1872, show that Carroll gave a larger
vote for Governor than did Walton,
Jackson, Macon, Dougherty and New
ton. The vote for President will
show the same result.
Therefore, if Carroll had, with a
population of 11,782 in 1870 had 1*836
polls, how many inhabitants did Car
roll have in 1872 with 1871 polls?
Whether the apportionment is made
by the returns of the polls for 1870,
1871 or 1872, or the election for Gov
ernor in October, 1872, or President
in 1872, or by the census of
Carroll is clearly entitled to two mem
hers, and a comparison of the polls of
1870 and 1871 show that in organiz-
ing Douglass county, including a part of
Carroll and by adding a part of Dong
lass county and Campbell originally
to Carroll by the act of December,
1871, did not reduce the population of
Carroll county.
AIK. TUTt’s SPEECH.
Mr. Tutt was perfectly impartial bo
tween Carroll and Walton. lie hops
ed the bill would pass. No evil would
result from its passage. The Con
stitutional question raised as to the
power to apportion representation was
not valid. The General Assembly
was a continuous body.
MR. DUBOSE S SPEECH.
Mr. Du Bose opposed the bill not be
cause Warren county would lose a
representative but because the bill was
unconstitutional. The Constitution
provides, that the number of represen
tatives shall not be increased over
175, and for their apportionment
By what General Assembly ? Why,
the first after the census. The Gen
eral Assembly ot 1872 is not the Gen
eral Assembly of 1873.
Mr. Carlton—ls not the General
Assembly of 1873 alter the census of
1870? Mr. Dußose —Yes ; but if the
Constitution meant to give the Gens
eral Assembly the power to apportion
at any time it would have said, “ after
the publication of each census the
General Assembly, etc. The cousti
tution of 1789 and 1861 were explicit
on this subject. We must apportion
representation when the census is of
most avail. Population fluctuate eve
ry year. The census of 1870 is only
the census of 132 counties. The new
counties are not known in it. We
have no way ot reaching their popula
tion. He was no Napoleon to get
over the Alps that stood in the way.
lie must support the Constitution.
mr. Peabody’s speech.
Air. Peabody arrived at opposite
conclusion from the gentleman from
Warren. The General Assembly
clearly has the power to make the ap
portionment. When ? Does the Con
stitution confine the power ot the
General Assembly to the first session
after the census? If it meant thus to
limit it, it would have expressly de
dared so. The Constution does pro
vide in express terms—that Senatori
al District shall only be changed at
the first session after the publication
of the census If it had intended this
to apply to .Representatives it would
have declared it We have no right
to interpolate “ first” in it. The in
teution of the constitution is that the
apportionment may be made after the
census at any time, but only made once.
In the nature of things the census must
govern. Every county is entitled to
one Representative. After that the
remaining is distributed among the
largest counties. If the rule was es
tablished that when a county was ta
ken off of another the old county
would lose a Representative it might
stop the creation of new counties.
mil pierce’s speech.
Mr. Pierce said that the population
of Douglas,Carroll, Campbell and Fay
ette was 22,358, while Walton was
11,083. The amendment would give
four Representatives to 22,000 and
only one to 11,000.
mr. tuuxbull’s speech.
Mr. Turnbull said that this was an
important question. The constitu
lionalobjections were not well founded*
Time was not the essence of the mat
ter. To give the six counties two
each and the balance on each would
meet his approbation. But under the
Constitution, no county could be de
nied representation.
mu. Carlton’s speech.
Mr. Carlton said that the constitution
al right of the General Assembly to
make the apportionment now was un
questionable. It was anew order of
things now to 1789.
MIL LEE.Se’s SPEECH.
Th? apportionment bill is not war
ranted by the constitution at this time.
The census is admitted to be the data
to govern apportionment. Tut census
gives no return of the new counties.
It is too late to correct the error.
The sections governing the Senatorial
District and Representatives must be
construed together, for they are on
the same subject.
A WORD FOR HALL.
Air. Candler offered a substitute
that whereas, there were more good
fellows in Hall county than any other
who would consent to serve in the
Legislature that “Walton,, be struck
out and “Hall” inserted.
Mr. Carlton supported it in an earn
est manner. The bill was lost.
MIL long’s REPLY TO OBJECTIONS.
In reply to the gentlemen from
Hancock, where ke asks : Is it fair to
give Carroll, Campbell and Douglass,
with a population of 22,358, four mem
bers, and only gave Walton one mem
ber ? Let me reply by saving that to
divide the population of these counties
would give to c-ach member 5,558 in
habitants, and give Walton two mem
bers, would be to each member of
Walton 5,218 inhabitants, or 40 less
to tlie member.
That don’t meet the question. Has
Carroll or Walton the greater number
of inhabitants ? Take the population
of Echols, Colquitt, Irwin, Ware and
Johnson, they all amount in popula
tion to 10,719, or less than Cairoll, yet
they are to have five members and
Carroll only one.
I thank the members of Hancock
and Walton to show by reliable sta
tistics that my data is wrong,
In reply to the gentlemen of Wal
ton:
That to give Carroll two members
and Douglass one member would be
equivaleant to giving Carroll three
members.
In reply I say that even if Doug
lass county had all been taken from
Carroll, and that the population of
Carroll would alone entitle her to two
members,and that the fact alone,if true,
that even itDouglas had all been taken
from Carroll, that that don’t matter.
I ask the member to show me where
in my data is untrue, and I hold that
I have made out a prinia facia case.
Let the member show by equally re
liable data that my figured are un
true.
In reply to the gentlemen from
Hancock, let me ask him how that ef
fects the question ?
Echols, Colquitt, Irwin, Ware, and
Johnson counties have a total popula
tion 10,719 Carroll, 11,782.
These five counties have live represen
tatives to each 2.142 inhabitants. To
give Carroll two members will give a
represenative to each 5,891 inhabi
tants.
MR. PIERCE REPLIES.
Carroll and Campbell counties voted
to create Douglass county. They
should lose a representative. The cen
sus of 1870 establishes the popula
tion.
CARROLL WINS
The amendment striking out Wal
ton and inserting Carroll prevailed by
yeas 88, nays 51.
THE COMMITTEE RISE.
Mr. Longley moved that the com
mittee rise and recommend the passage
of the bill as amended, which was
agreed to by yeas 65, nays 63
OTHER AM EN DM ENTS.
Mr. Fierce moved to amend by strik
ing out “Carroll” and* inserting “Pu
O O
laski.”
Mr. Longley said that Dodge coun
ty was taken from Pulaski.
Cavroll bad 11,782 and Pulaski 11,
940, but Carroll polled 1,871 votes,
white Pulaski polled 1,603.
Mr. Colding said that the population
of Dodge was mostly derived from
Telfair county. l f he population of
Pulaski is 12,000 to 13,000. The
manufactories in llawkinsville had in
creased her population over 500.
MR m’daVIELS SPEECH
Mr. McDaniel said that while the
committee of the whole had done great
injustice to Walton county, he would
not be deterred from urging the pas
sage of the bill. It was a constitution
al right to give a member to each of
the new counties. Three facts were
well known. First. The fundamental
law entitles each county to one Rep
resentative. Second. The constitu
tion gives the Legislature the right to
create new counties. Third. The con
stitntion gives some General Assembly
the right to give these counties mem
bers.
MR. DELL HEARD FROM.
Mr. Dell could see no difficulty in
the repeal of the bill at the next ses
sion, and moved to lay the bill on the
table.
Lost by yeas 64, nays 66.
Mr. Williamson moved to indefinite
ly postpone the bill.
MIL DOGE’S SPEECH.
The object of the motion to in
definitely postpone was to defeat giv
ing representation to the new counties.
Why squander time awa>? Why take
up the time of committees and of the
House in considering the bill, and
postpone it? Where is the economy or
sense in it ?
He had heard something said about
Representation going hand in hand
with taxation. Population is not the
basis of representation. The Legis:a>
ture might give Chatham one and Ech -
ols ten members. They have the power
to apportion after the census but once.
If made now the next session cannot
repeal it, for the apportionment is
made. Tne Constitution is clear and
explicit. Senatorial District can be
changed only at the first session after
the publication of the census : Repre
sentatives* apportioned at any time.
FATE OF VARIOUS MOTIONS.
Mr. Pierce withdrew his amendment.
Mr. Colding renewed the amend

Whipping an Editor.
Editors like other shrewd men, must
live with their eyes open. A good
story is told of one who started a pa
per m a Western town. The town
was with gamblers, whoso
presence was a source of annoyance
to the citizens, who told the editor
that if he did not come out against
them they would not patronize his pa
per. Ho replied that he would give
them a “smasher” next day. Sure
enough his next issue contained tho
promised “smasher,” and o:i tho fol
lowing morning the redoubtable edi.
tor, with scisors in hand, wa3 seated
in his sanctum, when in walked a
large man with a club in bis hand and
demanded to know it the editor was
in.
“No, sir,” wa3 the reply, “he has
just stepped out. Take a seat and
read the papers—he will be in a few
moments.
Down sat the indignant man of
cards, crossed his legs, with his club
between them, and commenced read
ing a paper. In the mean time the
editor quietly vamosed down stairs,
and at the landing he met another ex
cited man, with a cudgel in his hand
who asked it the editor was in.
“\ es, sir,’, was the prompt reply
“you will find him upstairs, reading a
newspaper.”
Ihe latter, on entering the room
with a fearful oath, commenced a vio
lent assault upon the former, which
was resisted with equal ferocity. The
light was continued till they had roll
ed tq the foot of the stains, and had
pounded each other to their heart’s
content.
