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. H - ■ 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 : Governor, 1872. Carroll 1,828 Walton 1,487 Hancock 1,808 Jackson 1,309 Macon .... 1,667 Oglethorpe 042 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 ment. Lost by yeas 37, nays ,t. The motion to indefinately postpone was lost by yeas 41, nays 86. The amendment ot the committee of tho whole was agreed to by yeas 65, nays 59, and the report agreed to by yeas 80, nays 52. VOTR ON THE BILL.

One Representative each .to one hundred and three counties. Bill takes effect alter expiration of terms of members of present General Assembly. 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. Words In Season. ‘ Plate sin with gold, And the strong lance of justice heedless breaks ; Arm it in rags, a pigmy’s straw doth pierce it.” How true, and yet, how sad tho thought 1 Honor, truth, virtue, jus tice, right, and the nobler and the finer feelings of one,s nature is often, yea, 100 often sunk, lost, black ened, degraded and debased, in the making and in the possession of wealth.- Friendship becomes but a name, and love but an empty sound ; honor a myth, integrity a sham, and virtue a toy, There is one temple in which no hypocrite ever enters, and before whose altar no backslider ever bow3 —the temple of Mammon, and the al tar of Gain.
