The following from the proceed ings of the United St.-Ucs Senate on Jannury 14th, will interest our readers as illustrating the case with which plausible reasons may be given for an act which seems to be far less • illustrative of republican simplicity than of the custom under tlie monarch ies of Europa,, where the members of the royal families are supported at public expense. Edmunds, calling Frye to the chair, took the floor and called up the. bill yesterday offered by him, providing that the president may appoint to the retired list one per son whe has occupied the position of general, commanding any of the armies of the United States, or general-in chief of the United States army. He moved to amend it by adding “with the rank’s full pay of such general or general in chief, as the ease may be.” The amendment was agreed to. Cockrell desired to record his vote against tiie bill, not knowing whether the yeas and nays would he called on it. The retired list was not the place for private citi zens. It had been created for of ficers who, being still in service had been rendered unfit for duty. There was neither justice or pro priety in placing private citizens on such lift. Gen. Grant was now enjoying the receipt of 5i5,000 a year, which was enough for the support of any American citizen. Edmunds said he concurred in the general principle laid down by Cockrell as to the retired list, that it was not the place for private citizens. He (Edmunds) was on that point the democrat of demo crats, but as a senator and citizen he was glad of an opportuniy to ask the passage of this bill. Gen. Grant had served his country faith fully and gallantly in the Mexican war while a young lieutenant. He became general of the armies of the United States on an occasion of very considerable importance and interest. Edmunds was sta ting it mildly in order not to excite the temperaments of anybody on the other side of the chamber. Gen. Grant bad been removed from the office of general of the United States, from which he would have been retired when lie reached the proper age and put on this very list, to assume again command of the armies of the United States as commandcr-.in-uhief under its con stitution. He had not sought it. He had obeyed the call of duty that removed him from the techni paj place |je lipid in the army to the higher place as constitutional commander of the armies of the United States. I’ndpr the law, when his term expired he became a private citizen. In that state of the case and under the circumstan ces which all know and in view of the honor, respect, gratitude and duty that we may owe him as pri mus and illustrious in the history of this country, Edmunds would be glad to have a unanimous vote for the bill •Maxct’Jiad heretofore opposed efforts of this character, being op posed to placing private citizens on [he petired list, but thg circiim gtanpes of this case W'cre excpptioii tional. As a southern man who had opposed the course of Gen. Grant, he (Maxey) could not but recognize that when the supreme hour came to the southern states when they had to ymld all save their honor, no man hac| ever act ed with more magnanimity and generosity than did Ulysses 8. Hp|nt at Appomattox. Not only did Maxey remember that fact but the people among whom he lived CARROLLTON. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING. JANUARY 23 1885. remembered it, and he did not be lieve there was to-day a man in the south who would begrudge r res pectable and fair support for Gen. Grant in his dedining years. Max ey added that he had known Gen. Grant for forty years and believed that his recent troubles arose en tirely from General Grant’s Su preme confidence in friends. Gibson «aid that while the form of the bill might not commend it’ self to his judgment, its object did. He sympatized with the people of the country who desired to testify thsir Appreciation of Gen. Grant’s services. As a senatoi from Loui sina he felt it incumbent upon him to vote for the bill to show the good will and sympathy of that state for Gen. Grant. George said he was here as a member from Mississippi in ♦*-- restored being com- missioned by hia pceplc to come heie, he had made a covenant with himself that in his votes in the senate on all questions that dio not effect the honor of his peo ple, he would vote exactly as if he had worn the federal instead of the confederate uniform. He be lieved the people desired the pas sage of the proposed measure. Jonas said he had opposed a similar measure when proposed sjrne years ago, because he had not approved certain acts of Gen. Grant’s administration and because Gen. Grant did not then need aid. Under the present circumstances of the General, however, he favored the bill. Voorhees said that Cockrell’s reference to Gen. Grant’s income might create a misapprehension in the popular mind. When the guaranteed term should expire six years hence the investment of the fund would prove of little value. \ oorhees added, that if he were a southern man he would strongly favour this measure. He recalled the fact that Secretary Staunton wanted to arrest and imprison Gen. Robert E. Lee after the surrender at Appomattox, and that Gen. Grant had told Staunton that Lee was his (Grant’s) paraleed priso ner and a hair of his head should not be molested He remembeied also Gen. Grant’s fearless acknowl edgement of his error in the Fitz John Porter matter. The bill was then read the third time and passed—yeas 49, nays 9. Those voting nay were Beck Cock, rell, Coke, Harris, Pendleton, Saulsbury, Slater, Vance and Walker. THE LIME KILN CLUB “If Brndder Shindig Watkins am in de hall to-night he will please step dis way,” said Brother Gardner, as everybody except Brd- Rock Taylor drew in his feet and ceased coughing. Brother Watkins had jammed himself into the northwest corner and was rubbing down a bunion with a fragment of grindstone, but he slipped on his shoes and made his to the President’s desk with a look of keen expectancy on his face. “Brndder Watkins,” continued the President, “about a y’ar ago I had a sexy wopls |o saj’ to Clarified on the subjeck of langwidge.

Subsoil Lynch, Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, report ed that his committee had been at work for several weeks past to dis cover away to make potatoes avail able after having once been frozen. The experiment of placing them in hot water to draw the frost out did not give general satisfaction.— They had been soaked in kerosene, bnt this plan proved too costly.— When subjected to steam heat the water was not all drawn out. A covering of heated sand had prov ed very satisfactory, 1 ut the annoy ance was too great. The commit tee had about dccid cd that the best way to make froz <n potatoes avails able was to send them to an or phan asylum, but wonld like time try two or ihree other experiments befoie sn’ mitting a final report. TAKEN IN. Wahoo Larkins, Secretary of the “Hoary Headed Colored Senators” of Shelbyville, Tenn., made official application to have the society in corporated as a branch of the Lime- Kiln Club, giving the following list of charter members: Uncle Pompey Thompson, Abe Wash Wooly, Chokerag Wilson, Turn pike Brame, Jewclaw Streeter, Methuselah Greer, Jerry Thomp son, Keghoe Evans, Uncle Ham Brown, i’qkeasy Eqfcig aqd Btuch inbam Spott. The would-be branch had taken the motto: “Doan’ Roast Yer ’Possum Till Ye Cotch Him,” and had thus far paid all bills on sight and had a surplus of nearly in [he The Rev. Penstock opposed the admission of the society. June, when he was in Shelbyville, the colored population treated him sq shabbily that he had to pass the night in a fence-corner, and as he left town in the morning this same Wahoo Larkins called him a “sad dle-colored sausage-stuffer.” “Yes—’zactly—jest so,” replied the President, “but we will take a vote on to it, anyhow.” A vote being taken, the society was admitted by 194 yeas to 3 nays. SQUELCHES. Giveadam Jones then arose to a question of privilege. He had re ceived an offer of $25 per week to travel over the country with World West show, apd p'ose in z2O. different; positions as Romulus. He wahted permission to resign his of ficial position in the club and ac cept the offer. “Who was Hamulus t” asked tlw President.. ‘‘Doan’ know—nebber met him, sah.” k Den how am yon gwine to pose as Romulus ?” “Dunno.” “Has yon got de posishuns pick ed ont ?” “No, sah, ’cept dat one of ’em am stand in’ on one foot wid mv n s ght had reaclqnl pflt.’J *vWiiat am you reqclun’ fur f ’ “Dunpo,” ‘‘Brudder Jones, you can’t go.— Let Romulus do his own posing.— When I has to pay somebody $25 per week to stan’ on his hind leg an reach out fur peanuts I’ll do the reachin’ an’ save de cash.” NUT BY THAT NAME. The Secretary then read the fol lowing communicatoin from Ada Minn : Bro. Gardner: Dear Sir—Your honorable in stitution baring attracted our atten tion, as a body governed by logic and philosophy, we respectfully ask your permission to start a branch lodge here in this place to be known as “The Hencoop Ma nipulators.” Being so far to the north the evenings are long, and it would give us a splendid opportu nity of cultivating our minds.— Please let us know how much it wonld cost us to start on a new charter. Our finances are some what low, but by combined efforts we might succeed in raising some cash We k inted ’ for chilblains.

If you have anything warranted to grow new hair in from two to six weeks’ time we will send down shingles enough to repair the roof us Paia dise Hall in exchange for a barrel of the stuff. Very truly, Jurisi Rudence Joshsing. Brother Gardner replied that he could not entertain any proposition to adnrt a society under such name. If it wanted to call itself “The Hencoop,” or “The Manipulators,” it would be all right, bnt so long as he realized that even the sight of chicken was distasteful to color ed people, ho could not permit any fling at the race by incorporating a society which seemingly manipu- 3 lated hens of all sizes and ages. Waydown Bebce then recited a poem entitled : Where will my cow be a hundred years hence ?” and the meeting adjourned. An Oidinary Killed. Blakely Ga, Januray 13. [Special]—Our usually quiet and peaceable little town was thrown into the most intense excitement this p. in., at 6:30 by the’killing of Judge J B Jones, onr recently elected ordinary, by Mr. R W Da vis, a son-in-law of Colonel BH. Robinson. It seems that early in the evening Mr. Davis had driven over from Arlington, with a pair of horses, and had them put in Mr. E L Fryer’s stables, adjoining Judge Jone’s stables, and by some means one of the horses— a stal lion—had gotten out of Mr Fry er’s stable, and was taken by Judge Jones and put in his. This all oc curred without Mr. Davis’s knowl. edge. Mr Davis sent a negro boy up later after his horses, when he (Jones) was quite abusing to the boy, telling him when Mr. Davis sent hi«n a dollar he could get his horse, and perhaps telling the ne gro that the same language used to him was also intended for Davis. Hearing of this Mr, Davis walked over fram the hotel to-night to Henderson Bro’s, store,where judge Jones and Mr E L Fryer were sit ting, and asked Mr. Fryer what was the reason the boy didn’t get hia horses when he sent for them. Joqes spoke and said “by G-d/’ because he wouldn’t let him have them, and asked Davis if he wan ted to take up for the negro. Mr. Davjs replied that he sent the boy to Mr Fryer’s, where he had left his horses, and wanted to know what he (Jones) had to do with them, and that he did propose to protect the boy in what was right, when Jones started to him with an open knife, and Davis fired on him twice, missing him both shots. Jones spoke and said: “Dick yon are a poor shot.” Davis replied: “Judge I didn’t shoot to hit you. I dun't want to J\ill, bqt yoq mast n’t yaune any farther now, for 1 will certainly kill you.” Jones still advanced, when yis shot the third time, killing him almost instantly. The affair is deeply regretted by our entire community, particularly so on account of the high social position each party held in the town. There is yet to hear of one single man who can attach any blame to Mr. Davis, and the cor oner's jury, who are now investi gating the will undoqbtly yptqrn a verdict of justifiable homi cide. A call on Mr. Davis, but a few minutes since, found him per fectly cool and composed, and though he regretted the killing he felt he had acted solely in self de fense.—Constitution. A a Anecdote of Admiral Foote. From an article on Admiral Foote and the Gnn-boata, by James B. Eads, in the January Century, we quote the following : “In the ■ railway train a gentleman who sat ■ in front of me, learning that I bad ' constructed Foote’s vessels, intro duced himself as Judge Foote, of Cleveland, a brother of the Admi ral. Am< ng other interesting mat ters, be related an anecdote of one of his little daughters who was just learning to read. After the cap ture of Fort Henry the eqandron was brought to Cairo for repairs and, on the Sunday following, the crews, with their gallant flag-offi cer, attended one of the pl*"- 1 - - Foote was a thorough Christian gentleman and excellent impromptu speaker.— Upon this occasion after the con gregation had assembled, some one whispered to him that the minister was ill and would be unable to of ficiate ; whereupon the Admiral went up into the pulpit himself, and after the usual prayer and hymn, he selected as the text John xiv. i, ‘Let not your heart be troubled :ye beleive in God, be lieve also in me.’ Upon this text he delivered what was declared to be an excellent sermon, or exhor tation, after which he dimissed the congregation. An account of the sermon was widely published in the papers at the time, and came into the hands of the little neice just 1 referred to. After she had read it, she exclaimed to her father : 1 “ ‘Uncle Foote did not say that f right. * “ ‘Say what right ?’ asked the father. ' 1 “ ‘Why, when he preached.’ r “ ‘What did he say ?’ € “ ‘He said, “Let not your heart c be troubled: yc believe in God, be- c licve also in me.’ ” 1 “ ‘Well, what should he have said ?’ inquired the father. f “ ‘Well, he ought to have said, 1 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe also in the gun boats.’ ” E v He Settled. H “Dat’s what yc git from foolin’ round dem ’ere lawy’rsl’hc said as he joined a group of colored idlers on the market place. Being asked why he had been to see a lawyer, he explained: “You know dat Buck Williams! Powerful bad nigger he am. Gits drunk an’ kicks in doahs an’ clubs winders. Come round to my cab in one night las’ week an’ stove de doah in an’ wanted to clean out de shanty. I falls out o’ bed an’ goes fur him wid an ax handle, an’ dey war’ gwine to ’rest me fnr ’sault wid intent to kill.” “Well?” “Wall, when dey tole me dat he had a cracked head, a broken arm, an’ war all broke up, I .wanted to settle de case. My ole woman coaxed me to go an’ sec a lawyer, an’ de lawyer taxed me $5 an’ ad vised me to offer Buck my ole boss an’ wagin’ an’ $25 in cash.” “And you did?” “An’ I didn’t! I got home his wife was dar 5 waitin’ fur me, and she said if I didn’t han’ ober $2 in cash an’ a sack o’ flour she’d mutilate me wid a lawsuit clean up to de supreme co’rt.

Make it shorter.” “Bnt what shall I say sir ?” ask ed the blonde reporter, VOh, I’d jnst say, “Hennessy Mulcahey’s little boy Pat fell into an open sewer and broke his nose.

Two Austin men, who were very good friends, and whom we shall call Bill and Tom, played a game of billiards yesterday. Bill is a first-class player, but he encoura ged Tom to win by purposely play ing a poor game. Tom is not much of a plajer, but he only had a few points to make to win when Bill took off his coat, went to work in earnest, and ran ont, much to the disgust of Tom. When Bill went to resume his coat lo and behold; it was gone. “What’s become of my coat?” ‘,Just as von r v.’ivß, ana ran out, a stranger picked up your coat and ran out, too,” answered Tom, grinning. “Why didn't yon stop him?” “Why should I stop him? He didn't interfere in your game when you ran out, why should I inter sere with him when he ran not with your coat. He let you make your points, why shouldn’t I let him make his points. The stran ger let you beat me, why shouldn’t I let him beat you out of your coat particularly as he got his cue from yon.”—Texas Siftings. A SVOMAJUS STRATEGEM. A young girl and <• elderly wo man entered a street car to gether. The girl's eyes were stumming in tears which soon refused to stay within the prescribed limit, yet the thought of letting all these stran gers see her weep was even bitterer than the sorrow that had started her weeping. The elder woman looked troubled, but she had stron ger nerves. She whispered to her companion: “Hold your handker chief, to one eye all the time, then everybody will think that your eye not your heart has been hurt. The young girl acted on the sug gestion without i eplying. She held the handkerchief in a wad over her right eye, as though it could not bear the light, and continued to weep without attracting attention. The other passengers saw nothing but a woman with a disabled eye, and after a glance or two ceased to look at her. The writer was struck with the wisdom of the sad little strategem. A wound in the eye was not a thing to be ashamed of. It excited no morbid curiosity or humiliating pity; but a wound on the soul must be hidden. THE TWO* NEIGHBORS. A citizen having- heard that his neighbor was scandalizing him called around at the office for an explanation. “Ilavent I always spoken well of you and yours,” he asked. “Oh, yes.” “Havent I lent you my snow shovel, my flat irons and my coffee mill for these many years past?” “Yes, but—” “But what! What on earth could have induced you to throw out hints that my aunt was my uncle?” ‘ Why, my Dear Sir; your snow shovel is broken, your flat-irons too old to be of further use, and your coffee mill will no longer grind. How can I longer neigh— with such a man?” moral: When you cant live off a neigh bor make him sorry for it. FOLLOWING THE PATTERN. —e was from Boston, and told her that Boston set the pattern [in almost everything for all other cities in the Union. “To change the subject,” he said, “isn’t it strange that of all the infernal machines sent to people nowadays not one ever goes off?” She suppressed a yawn and re plied: “They probably follow the pattern of Boston young men.” Ho went off as soon as he could get into his o.vercoat and hat. SHOPPING, MERELY. “You must be selling a great many goods, now,” remarked Mc- Swilligen to a Seneca street mer chant. “Why so?’’ asked the merchant. I sec so many ladies in your store.” “Oh they are not buying, more’s the pity,” said the merchant. “What are they doing then?” “Shopping, merely.”—Detroit Free Press, Take Smiths Worm Oil. / An Old Soldier’s EXPERIENCE. “ Calvert, Texas, May 3,1882.
