The 1 louse of Representatives at
Washington lias refused to instruct
the committee to report favorably to
wards refunding the cotton tax. The
idea of passing this hill df simple Jus
tice to our oppressed people, who
have been fleeced on every hand, and
are in great need of all that can l>e
saved from the wreck of their for
tunes, was enough so entitle it to dis
favor at the North, but when it cams
to disgorging the money mitfft the
public crib, it was more thugHufii
cient to kill it outright, although
wrongfully and tyrannically taken
from the pockets of our people.
“J. N.,»» THE PHILOSOPHER.
A few days ago, very much to oar
gratification, a notable personage pre
sented himsel# in our sanctum. For
the life of us, we could not imagine
who the stranger could be. His long
elf like locks, piercing black eye, his
tawny complexion, and perfectly pos
manner, placed before us a
l>eing unique in person and altogeth
er sid generic. Was it Diogines from
his tub, Achilles from his rout with
Hector, Justinian with his “populous
beard,” or the last representative of
the aborigines? “I am called,” said
he, brusquely, and with evident sat
isfaction, “J. N., the Philosopher;”
and so, without ceremony, in his own
peculiar way, he began and kept up
a rapid and very brilliant conversa
tion, inducting us into the grand
mystery of “lifting the veil,” “re
moving the pressure,” and showing
how he should take his time to make
things more easy, from the “grand
stand-points” and “out-posts” of phi
losophy, which he alone, of all the
continent, commands.
He is in communication with ma
ny distinguished gentlemen of the
State, among whom he gratefully
numbers the Hon. A. H. Stephens, a
fellow philosopher and compatriot.—
Satisfied that the South has been al
together misunderstood in her late
struggle, and a .“self martyr” to the
philosophical idea, which he alone,
of all the world, has maintained, he
is determined to persist in his under
taking until the “veil is lifted,” “the
pressure removed,” and “things shall
move easy.”
Renowned as a philosopher and or
ator, no less than a self martyr to
great ideas, lie stands out in this stir
ring age, a wonder and an admira
tion. Here to-day, and there to
morrow, and almost every where at
once, we bid good cheer to “J. N.”
the Philosopher.
He will address our citizens on the
20th instant, at the City Hall.
PLAYING CARDS IN PUBLIC
PLACES.
We are gliwl to see that the bill au
thorizing the playing of cards in pub
lic places, which had already passed
the Senate, has been withdrawn. It
uLja.iaupr .rotwjpw. rrrvn
the balance, is only infinitestimally
small, can not be accommodated in
all their little innocent amusements,
poor good natured fellows that they
are; but when it is to be done at the
expense of the good morals of the
commonwealth, it is really asking a
little too much. Let him drink his
lager if he will! and sing his songs
and crack his jokes, if he has any,
and this we think is quite enough.—
We congratulate the Legislature that
a matter so promising of evil is thus
quietly put at rest.
A. H. STEPHENS.
. This distinguished gentleman is
the only candidate for Congress from
tho Eighth District, all other aspi
rants having voluntarily withdrawn
in his favor. It is the place for Mr.
Stephens, and, in our judgment, the
particular theatre upon which he can
appear with more credit to himself
and service to the people, than any
other. The great Commoner, is a ti
tle which is perhaps justly his due,
and his old district may well point
to him with pride, as he shall stand
once more in the halls of the Capitol,
facile princeps. Would that in every
instance, the real ability and worth
of the State was sought out and put
in office, especially in those public
places, where our office holders are
regarded as representative men.
Our little Grady, of the Atlanta
Herald, and Trammell, of the Car
ters ville Standard & Express, are try
ing to use sarcasm upon one another.
They remind us of the little boy who
drew the picture of a horse, end after
looking at it some time, not being
certain he had succeeded in his effort,
wrote underneath it, “ This is a horse! y *
So gentlemen, when you mean sar
casm again, imitate the boy.—Mari

Mr. Mcdanel’s apportionment bill
may be analyzed thus:
Counties which have two Represen
tatives now reduced to one: Morgan,
Columbia, Warren, Pulaski, Ran
dolph, Lee. Counties having one
Representative to which two are giv
en: Walton, Jackson. Counties
without representation, to which one
Representative is given: Douglass,
Dodge, McDuffie, Rockdale.
A GOOD BILL.
“ Be it enacted by the General As
sembly of the State of Geoiyia, Thai
the Judges of the Superior Courts of
this State shall render judgment in
all civil cases founded on contract,
where there has been personal service,
without the verdict of a jury, at the
first term of the court to which the
same may be returnable, wfcere no
issueable defense is tied oa oath.”
Reports conflict as to the Judge of
the Supreme Court. Home are posi
tive that J ustioe Montgomery will
be reappointed. The pressure is
strong m this brlfef, and It is toped
the Governor, will yield. Others as
sert that Robert Tripp, of Monroe,
will be appointed on the Supreme
bench. |

THE NEW SENATOR—GEN.
GORDON
Gen. John B. Gordon, after win
ning for himself a splendid reputa
tion as a patriot and soldier in the
“Lost Cause,” and endearing him
self to the people of the South by his
devotion to their interest, through
the trying ordeal that has succeeded
the war, was, on the 22d inst-, elect
ed by the Legislature of Georgia to
the high position of United States
Senator.
This is but a just reward for his
gallant services, and in many respects
the honor could not have been more
worthily bestowed. His well known
patriotism, integrity and brilliant
oratory are eminent qualifications,
mivvuvt n IIVj W ‘pu/Vt av»
ism, integrity and eloquence, adds a
long life devoted to the science of po
litics, and who, as a statesman,
stands to-day without a peer on
American soil. But, next to Mr.
Stephens, we would have preferred
Gen. Gordon; and, though he is want
ing in political training and experi
ence, we believe he will prove an
able champion of Georgia and the
South and make his influence felt in
the Senate. Indeed, he is certainly
the equal of any man he will meet
there, and far superior to most of
them. —Greensboro Herald, 30<A inst.
A Clever Hit. —Apropos of the
late celebration of the birthday of
General Lee, the Pottsville Miners’
Journal says:
Our Southern brethren who were
estranged from us by the “late un
pleasantness,” haven’t come home
yet to have the fattened calf killed.
And if “our Southern brethren”
did come back in all humility and
contrition to enjoy the flitted calf, we
fear that some people would only
furnish them mighty poor veal.— N:
Y. Commercial Advertiser.
“J. N.”
The talented editor of the Greens
boro Herald , R. R. Thurmond, Esq.,
thus speaks of “J. N’s” visit to that
place, and position as a Philosopher
and martyr to his cause of truth:
Peerless “J. N,” the immortal phi
losopher, and noble martyr to his
principles, true to his appointment
and to the cause of “Truth and Rec
onciliation,” made his appearance
promptly on last Tuesday for the
fmrpose of delivering his great lec
ure, and “lifting the veil.” He came
radiant in the light of truth, majestic
and grand in the strength of his phi
losophy, and his flashing eye, pecu
liarly philosophical expression, heigh
tened by his long hair falling in grace
ful negligence over his herculean
shoulders, and upon his eloquent
tongue the glorious signal of libera
tion and salvation was trembling for
utterance; but finding that the aus
picious moment for “lifting the veil”
and “removing the pressure” had not
fully arrived, he, with commendable
prudence, decided to postpone his lec
ture until another time, hoping by
frequent oppointments and postpone
ments, to prepare the minds and
hearts of the people for the glorious
advent of Reconciliation. He was
satisfied that he could have lifted the
veil here last night, but as it would
E[> back upon the North, unless the
fling here was at the proper mo
ment, he could not be induced to en
danger his grand theory by such a
rash and unphilosophical deed. This
noble martyr and hero looks like a
philosopher, talks like one, and is
ready to-day to cast himself, like a
noble Roman of old, into the abyss,
that his cause may triumph and the
pressure be removed from off the
people. As this pressure can never
be removed until he lifts the veil,
groaning in our agony, we cry unto
nim, return, O, peerless “J. N ” re
turn !!

a piling «f relief here that the Sena
torial eleeobns in suflpral Stalls are
at la4 over. The codpst in CHtorgia
• xci ad much interest in Washington
political dptes. The election of Gen- j
eial Gordon gives uni venal apnfac-1
tion. The Legislature can feel as
sured that they have done a good
thing for Georgia. Gordon will be
well received been, and he can be of
more service to the State than either
of his distinguished competitors could
possibly have been.
We may as well recognise the fact
at once that Southern ante-bellum
politicians can do our people no good
nere, however great their abilities
may be. This is an unpalatable truth
but no one can be here long without
becoming perfectly convinced of it.
COTTON TAX.
The House to-day refused, by a
vote of 76 to 105, to instruct the Com
mittee on Ways and Means to report
the cotton tax bill, known as the
Pierce or McKee bill. This is the bill
that Ex-Governor H. V. Johnson is
interested in. The friends of the hill
managed it badly. It is barely pos
sible that action may be had during
the present session upon some other
bill to refund the cotton tax. The
committee takes the ground that the
government had the right to tax oot
ton that was exported, and as they
estimate that two-thirds was export
ed, they are in favor of refunding
two-thirds of the tax. My own im
pression is, that nothing will be done
with it this session. The franking
privilege was abolished to-day by a
large majority.
FROBEL AND HIS GUTTER.
The 13th day of February has been
set for the Atlantic and Great West
ern Canal bill in the House. We are
sanguine of its passage. We have
found strong friends where we least
expected it.
Colonel Frobel has been invited to
argue the merits of the enterprise be
fore the special committee, of which
Senator Windom is chairman, on
Tuesday evening, 28th instant. His
argument before the House commit
tee excited great interest, and was
printed by order of the committee.—
This is the only instance on record
where the argument of a private in
dividual has been printed by order of
the committee, except in cases of con
tested elections.
DU BOSE.
The speech of Hon. D. M. Dußose
on the canal, delivered on the 11th,
has excited much interest in Congress,
and has made for General Dußose an
enviable reputation. It was an able
speech, and would do great credit to
much older and more experienced
members than General Dußose. It
has given him an influence here pos
sessed by no other member of his age.
He will leave Congress very much
regretted. W. H. W.
CURE FOR MENINGITIS.
The Freeport (111) Bulletin pub
lishes the following letter from a
fentleman in Michigan to a friend in
Freeport:
I only write to tell you what will
save every case of “cerebro-spinal
meningitis.” It is the same epidem
ic that raged in this State in tne win
ters of 1847 and 1848, which broke up
our Legislature, and which carried to
the grave every one it touched until
the old-fashioned hemlock sweats
were adopted, after which every case
was saved.
Our people sent about twenty-five
miles and procured hemlock boughs,
and they sent for it from all parts of
the State. There was a company
here that was called the “Hook ana
Ladder Company,” that for weeks
did nothing night and day but go
fly'vw Vtrtnso +r> KnuaoAuu»n!i^twliu>k
Thorough sweating might do, but
there is no mistake about hemlock
sweats being a specific.
One of the Old Crowd. —General
Gordon, with h ose name our read
ers have become familiar during the
last few weeks as the newly electee
Senator from Georgia, belongs to the
Old Crowd who are perpetually com
ing to the rescue of the Constitution
and the flag.— Washington Republi
can.
You have put it down exactly
right. He does belong to that “old
crowd,” and that’s one reason we
sent him to Washington. That
“crowd” are peculiarly obnoxious to
the “crowd” you belong to, but they
comprise pretty much all the patriot
ism and honesty left in the country.
They have fought your “crowd” on
that line long and well, and will
whip you yet or the country will go
to Tophet. They don’t steal nor lie,
nor violate the law, nor get up Cred
it Mobilier frauds, nor buy Senators
and Represntatives in Congress, nor
plunder the Treasury, nor set up
and protect thieves in their raids up
on the people’s pockets, nor organize
negro and carpet-bag scallawag gov
ernments at the South, whose shame
less corruption, ignorance and pro
fligacy stink even in your own nos
trils. That “old crowd” don’t have
any Bullocks, or Scotts, or Holdens,
or Brownlows, or Claytons, or Pinch
backs, or Oakes Ames, or Pattersons,
or Colfaxes, in their membership,
and when a thief or a scoundrel slips
in they pitch him out neck and crop
for you to take into your “crowd”
and give him a fat office. Thank
God for such an “old crowd,” and
may it always live to fight you and
yours.— Telegraph and Messenger.
Another R. R. Accident.—Two
Freight Car Smashed.—Near Al
atoona, and not a great way from
where the sleeping car flew the track
Wednesday night, another accident
occurred yesterday morning, by
which two freight boxes heavily la
den were precipitated down an em
bankment, completely smashing
them up.
Fortunately no one on the train
was hurt, and no further damage
done than this.
The passenger train due here yes
terday was delayed several hours iu
consequence of the break in the road.
As we mentioned in our yester
day’s edition, these accident are sure
ly the result of the unprecedented
cold weather, which has been really
so bad for two months past that work
men could not stay out in it.
We have every assurance that the
management of this important road
are using every exertion in their
power to relieve it of the chances of
accidents which now more or less en
cumber all our lines of travel.

as the place where the ’hicrophantlc
soul will sail down the picturesque
vista of protoplasm to the shore of
the Analogies.’ In that Church,
Heaven is Heaven, and Hell is Hell,
and Christ is God.”

There is no case of consumption that did not
commence with a cough. Therefore the slight
est Cold or Cough should receive immediate at
tention. Take at once the great remedy of the
age, DB. TUTT’S EXPECTORANT, and there
by save years of suffering; perhaps life itself.

Dr. Wwt, IT. Tutt:
Dear Sir—My little son, aged about three
; rears .was attacked with pneumonia last win
ner, which left him with a violent cough, that
lasted till within a. month since, for tno cure of
which I am indebted to you and your valuable
Expectorant. I had tried most every kfnd of
medicine recommended for coughs, but none
did any good until I tried your Expectorant,
one bottle of which removed the cough entire
ly. With many thanks for your valuable prep
aration, I am, yours truly,
JOHN M. WEIOLE.
