Ihe President promptly refused to com- j
I'ly with this request, deeming such ac
tion entirely unnecessary, especially when
there was no information showing that the
civil authorities wore powerless to execute
the laws and punish those who attempt to
violate them.
by the tire in Chicago the original draft
of Lincoln’s emancipation proclamation,
b y which the people of the Soul li were

we believe, the pen with which that docti

SUPREMACY OF LAW--AGAIN.
In speaking of law, we exclude the
higher law as it is called, or the revealed
and natural law of God by which the con
science is enlightened, the thought* and'
pas ions purified, and th* actions directed
and controlled. We speak not either of
the lews of nation# in all their varied,
rights and relations, nor of Btriot munici
pal law appropriate to the government of
a corporation. We ooaefino- to
that system of laws inherited frofn our
British and Saxon ancestors where the
rule of action “commanding what was
right, and prohibiting,what was wrong,"
was wisely and justly defined from re
mote ages aad Parliament, and adminis
tered through learned judges and lawyers,
sworn witnesses and juries uncormpted
by power, office or gold. It was the main
element of this system—the trial by jury,
which induced the illustrious Biackstone
to call it the bulwark of English liberty
and that the freedom and glory of that
grand laud, like Rome and Greece, could .
never perish as long as the trial by jury
was preserved in purity and vigoY.
It will be remembered by those of our
readers who have reflected on the ex
tracts made on yesterday, from the lecture
of Father Burke that he charges the deso
lation and misery of Ireland for three
hundred years to two causes—first, the
destruction of the Constitution of England
and the liberties of juries—second, a want
of toleration of conscience and speech
and the corruption of Parliament by the
military power and orders of Henry the
VIII. Has not history repeated itself iu
the United States? Is not the parallel
complete between the corruptions and
legislating of a Radical Congress and the
martial laws enforced by Gen. Grant; and
the slavish Parliaments and the ever
liloody sword of Henry VIII? The Con
stitution of our fathers is torn to pieces
by military officials. Magna Charta
which declares that “No freeman Rhall be
takeu. or imprisoned, or disseized, or
outlawed, or banished, or anyways injur
ed, nor will we pass upon him, Upr send
upon him, unless by the legal judgment
of his peers or the law of the iund. We
will sell to no man, we will not deny or
delay to any mun right or justice.”
This noble charter, the authority for
freedom regulated by law, and confirmed
and held sacred by all patriots (not ty
rants) for six and a half centuries has
been trampled upon and no more valued
than blank paper. Martial law, which
high judicial authority pronounces “no
law,” has been again and again proclaimed
in peace, and our citizens, like the brave
Irish, have been imprisoned, disseized
and banished to cold and distant prisons
there to languish and rot without the legal
judgment of peers and contrary to the
law of the land.
All these outrageous tyrannies have
been perpetrated under the forms of law
and by so-calied authority, and yet thou
sands even of the sufferers, are taught by
demagogues and office-seekers to “accept
the situation as a finality,” and raise no
manly protest in behalf of oppressed hu
manity or murdered liberty.
We will not do it. We shall ever pre
fer to mingle our own woes in favor of
civil and religious liberty, with the wrongs
of Ireland and Poland. Wo would rather
grasp the broken liarp of the one, aad the ]
ihattered spear of the other, than the
jew elled swords of the tyrants wSose gar
ments are and have been rolled in human
blood. Wo clasp no hands across a bloody 1
or bloodless chasm, nor over roaring [
oceans, with the plunderers and tyrants j
of nations and peoples. Let Henry the
VITT and Ulysses the T be “damned io !
everlasting fame” by the voice of history,
poetry and song, w hile the tears of jiifec- '
tion and gratitude ever fall in showers or;
the graves of Emmot, Sheridan and Burke.
LeJ. ihe Hampdens and Sidneys of English 1
constitutional freedom and history grow j
brighter with time, while the' names of J
Cromwoll and Henry VIII be remember
ed only In ho despised, Lat no trim Irish- I
man, or son of an Irishman, dare uphold

commanded the sympathies of the wise j
and good for a thousand years.
Governor Lindsay’s Reply to Hon. G. M. !
Duskin and Others.
Executive Department. 1
Montgomery, Nov. 19.)
To the ilun. George AT. Duskin and 1
others :
Gentlemen —Ou yesterday you wore j
pleased to visit the Executive Chamber, !
when and where you professed to be pres
ent as a committee to notify the of the j
organization of a Legislative;body, or the !
Legislature as you expressed it. and to say ,
that it was ready for any communication
I might deem it proper to transmit.
In answ'er I now beg leave to say, that j
on Monday, the 18th inst.. the day pro
vided by law for the annual meeting of
tho General Assembly', the Hon. E. 11. j
Moren, the present Lieut. Governor of !
tho State, and under the express provi
sions of the Constitution the officer who :
is to preside at the organization of the ;
Senate, did repair to the Senate Chamber *
within the eapitol building, and did then
and there proceed in the organization of
tho Senate, and from day to day has con
tinued to discharge iris duties as such pre
siding officer in effecting said organize- -
tion.
On the same day, to-wit, the 18th hist., ;
I the Hon. John P. Hubbard, the p. iper
officer, also by' express constitutional re
quirements, did occupy the Speaker's
I chair in the Hall of the House of ltepye- '
j sontatives, within the eapitol building,
) and proceeded to effect an organization of
j the said House, and as Speaker has from
j da.v to day continued to do so.
The Capitol of the State is the lawful
and usual place for the meeting of the
| Legislature. Legislation alone can change
ior transfer it. Supreme, insurmountable
i necessity must exist to justify its lyssemb-
I ling at any other point or building. lam
I ignorant of the existence of such a neces
j sity. The Lieutenant Governor is theofii
| cor prescribed and required by the Cnn
j stitution to preside over the organization
I of the Senate, the Speaker over the or
j gauization of the House of Repre enta-
I fives, if such officers are present to dis-.
! charge their respective .duties. Li this
instance they'are present performing their
official functions, and as the Executive of
the State, I am bound to take notice that
they are the proper officers, as well as to
know that the Capitol is the place for the
organization of the General Assembly.
Your communication contemplates that
as Governor I should recognize and ac
cept as tho General Assembly of the State
of Alabama, a body of persons assembled
together in a building other than, and nt
some distance from the Capitol, and not
pretending to be organized under the
presidency of either of the officers desig
nated bv the Constitution. Abstaining
from further multiplying reasons for my
conclusions, permit me to say that my
official oath and fidelity to the Const!- ,
tution and laws forbid my recognition
of any body as the General Assembly of .
Alabama, other than that w hich organises
under the forms of the constitution and
laws, and in the eapitol of the State. The ■
body which constituted, you the commit
tee, I do not recognize as the General As
sembly, and therefore have no official
communication to transmit to it.
I have the honor to be yoitr obedient
servant.

THE FAIR.
The following trotting and running
horses are here, with others, whose names
w r e have not yet been able to ascertain:
Emma, Bedford, Sir Arthur, Rob Roy,
Hinton, Laura, Eufaula Boy, Barbour
Chief, E len, Pat Ring. McDonald, Boy
Jack, Josephine, Silver Tail, Shelby and
Henry, Tacco. Frostic, Gypsy, Sam Reid.
The greater number of these horses were
at Columbus, but the attendance of first
class, professional and amateur sporting
men is not as large here. All the side
shoa , and gamblers from the Opelika and
Selma fairs have pub up their tents and
tables at Pickett's Springs Park, but up
to this time they have done a poor busi
ness. The number of visitors is too small
as yet, to afford them a chance at the
“greenhorns,” who are their principal
victims.
The exhibition hall is better filled to
day', and quite a crowd of people is to be
seen scattered aLopt ~the grounds. It is
extremely cold, which prevents a large
number of ladies from witnessing the
races. We are unable to report them this
evening, as the train is about to leave.
Will write to-night.
Sidney Herbert.
Madison House, \
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 21, ’72.)
Eds. Sun : Yesterday evening the at
tendance at the Fair was much better than
on the previous day's, but far from what
it should have been. The agricultural de
partment is improving daily, w hile the ex
hibition halls are slowly filling up. Con
siderable space yet remains unoccupied,
showing that the merchants here are not
taking as much interest in the matter as
they should. Col. 8. J. Saffold, of the
Selma Times, the energetic President of
the Selma Fair, says the same apathy pre
vails in his section, and that it is impos
sible. in these times, to get up a success
ful agricultural aud mechanical exhibition.
Selma and Columbus were fortunate in
having a Board of Directors whose per
sonal inffiicnee ami efforts, energetically
put forth, : aved their Fairs from becom
ing -failure). But tt:year hence, who can
tell what will be the fate of all such exhi
bitions? It is a question that cannot be
too early or too thoroughly' discussed by
the officers and stockholders of all South
ern Fair associations. What can be done
to lead pluuleis, stock raisers slid maim
facturers to take an interest in these an
nual exhibitions? Will cash premiums of
a large amount, accomplish this desired
object? Col. Saffold thinks not. Selma
offered such prizes, and yet in many of
the departments there was not a single
entry'. Standing here in the midst of this
State Fair, and with the failures of At
lanta, Selma and Columbus before us, not
to speak, of smaller cities, we tremble for
the future of all strictly' agricultural and
mechanical, associations. Can they suc
ceed?
We are glad to report that Col. A. R.
Lamar, who is here in the interest of the
Savannah Advertiser, is being treated
with great courtesy by the p ess of Mont
gomery and the public officials of the
State,, and that he bears himself with great
dignity and affability, As yet, so far as
we can judge, the press of Alabama is but
feeblv represented here at the Capital.
We have seen only Col. Saffold, of the
Selma Times; Osborne, of the Stevenson
New Eva; .Roberts, of the Opelika Loco
motive, and Mosely, of the Talladega
Sews. Owing io several causes, the an
imal meeting of the Press Association,
which was to have been held at Mobile on
the 3d of December, is postponed until
the middle of February, at which time
the Mardi Gras writ occur.
The Legislature lias done nothing of
importance to-day, but both branches w ill
meet iu joint assembly ts-inorrow at 12
o'clock, at, whiclj time the ballet for State
officers will bo counted. Great interest
is manifested in the result of this action,
as the Radicals propose to come forward
at once, when the result is made known,
and qualify for the immediate discharge
of their duties. It will then be seen which
Legislature Gov. Lewis will recognize,
and in what manner, should he disclaim
it, he w.ll remove the Democratic Legis
lature from the Capitol. This is the great
point of interest upon which all eyes are
now fixed.
We had the rare pleasure, a day or two
since, of enjoying the generous hospitali
ty of. Mr. George L. Worth’s charming ]
family circle, where wo passed several of I
the happiest hoursof our life. Mrs. Louise 1
Ludicus Werth is favorably known to the
citizens of Columbus as the “Sw'eetest i
Song Bird of the South,” and as we have ;
never had the opportunity to hear her ;
sing in public, she kindly consented to I
favor ns with a private musical soiree, j
assisted by her beautiful and accomplish- j
ed sister, Miss Addie Ludicus, whose per- j
formanoes on the piano forte are of the !
most finished and artistic character. Mrs.
Werth sang some very difficult airs, and j
we were especially pleased with the j
clearness other voice and the distinctness 1
of her pronunciation. Too much, we are j
sat isfied, has not been said in her praise, i
either by our own papers or the Northern i
journals that have so favorably noticed I
her success in Boston and Newport. In j
a few weeks, if not sooner. Ma.lame Werth ’
will favor her many friends here with a
private musical soiree, in the elegant and
commodious music loom which her bus- ’
baud has recently erected adjoining his
residence, ami which he hoped to have
decorated and ready for use in a few days. '
It is gratifying io know that Mrs. Werth,
notwithstanding her superior musical j
talent, is a lady of rare domestic quali
ties, aud that her attractive home is to
her far dearer than the applause of the
most elegant concert halls of the world.
Asa wife and mother she seeks the high
est honors that can fall to the lot of a true
and noble woman. Would that there I
•were more such wives aad mothers in
musical circles,
Sidney Herbert.

‘Montgomery, Nov. 22, 1872.)
'Editor. San: Through the well-known
courtesy'cY Ml* R. SV. Uffutt, one of the
rm s! popular young men iu this city, and
one whose energy has built up the exten
sive business of Oil'utt s news depot andj
music store, your correspondent was en
abled to attend the military I*ll of the
Montgomery Grays, which came off at
Concert Hall on Wednesday night. It was
quite a select affair, and was made attrac
. tive by the presence of several charming
young ladies. Prof. Allen V. Robinson
was master of ceremonies—a guarantee
that everything was conducted in the most
approved manner.
The Montgomery and Enfaula train of
yesterday brought in a very large crowd
of visitors to the Fair from Eufaula, Troy
aud Union Springs. Gen. Henry D. Clay
: ton, the energetic and successful Presi
dent of the Eufaula Fair, is here with a
large delegation, and he proposes to win
the premium offered to the association
; that shows the largest membership on the
; Fair Grounds to-day. He will probably
, win it, as his delegation is both large and
I fine-looking, having in it such men as
: Clayton, Pugh, Oates, Shorter, Dent, WiL
| liams, Bray and Morris
There was but one race yesterday, with
j four entries, best three in five, for a purse
of SSOO. Pat Ring, the favorite horse,
| won the first heat in 2:41; Emma second,
j Bedford third, and Frosty fourth. Emma
| won the second heat in 2:41 j, Bedford
j second, Pat Ring third, Frosty fourth.
! Pat Ring won third heatin2:3B|, Bedford
[ second, Emma third, Frosty withdrawn,
i Pat Ring won fourth heat and race in
2:39j, Bedford second, Emma third, to
whom was awarded second money. Pat
I Ring and Bedford are both very superior
I horses, yet Emma held her own with
j them in a manner that called forth con
: staut applause. O’Hara, the great pedes-
I trian, was matched against a running
j horse; the horse to run a mile in the same
time that O’llara walked a quarter
of a mile. The horse made his utile in
2:02j, and O’Hara walked his quarter in
1:382. The excitement was unusually
great over this race, aud the winner was
highly applauded.
The Rev. I. T. Tichenor, President of
the Agricultural College at Auburn, de
livered a brief address at the grand stand
at noon, but we did not arrive in time to
hear it. The train on which we went out
from the city was crowded, and its passen
gers swelled the number on the grounds
to about twenty-five hundred. The exhi
bition halls were much improved, some
new and valuable imported English stock
added to the agricultural department, and
many new features presented themselves.
President Reid has worked very faithfully
and persistently to make the Fair a suc
cess in every respect, but he has not been
properly sustained by his subordinates
and the citizens generally. With the di
rectors of the Columbus Fair to assist
him. Col. Reid could have made this ex
hibition a hundred per cent, more attract
ive than it is to-day. We do not know
why he is not better sustained in his ef
forts, but such is the case.
We to-day met Mr. A. Shaw, the stir
ring and successful Superintendent of the
South and North Railroad of Alabama,
who has just returned from an inspection
of this new and important line of travel.
He reports the ballasting of the track with
stone, the putting on of new freight and
passenger cars, and other additions and
improvements demanded by the rapid in
crease of the passenger and freight traffic
on his road. The premature opening of
the line for the Fall business caused some
delays and accidents, but the ballasting of
the track and the completion of other
needed and permanent improvements
have put the road in first-class order, and
it is to-day doing an immense freight
business with promptness, and has a rap
idly increasing passenger patronage.
There was a line rain last night which
has laid the dust and made the weather
milder, and there is every indication that
this will be the great day of the Fair.
The most of the stores will close, and a
holiday given to all classes of citizens.
The tournament and the great race will
be likely,to compete successfully with the
Legislature, although much interest ia
manifested in the result of the counting
of the ballots for State officers, which
takes place at 12 o’clock.

tion took a recess until 4 o’clock p. m.,
to allow the clerks to add up the vote.
On re-assembling, the Convention ad
journed until 10 o’clock to-morrow, and
the Senate returned to its chamber.
The House was called to order, and the
Governor, through his Private Secretary,
Col. Gimlrat, sent in his annual message,
the reading of which, on account of the
late hour was postponed until 10 o’clock
to-morrow.
On motion, the House adjourned to 10
o’clock to-morrow' morning.
The Vote.—We learn from the Mont
gomery Advertiser that the result of the
recent election was not proclaimed at the
Capitol Friday, in consequence of the fact
that the Dallas oounty vote as returned
by the Supervisors showed a majority of
over five thousand for Major Burnett for
Auditor, and elected him by Home two
thousand votes. As the re3t of the Radi
cal ticket received five thousand majority
in that county, the Convention adjourned
until 10 o’clock Saturday morning, pre
suming that the return was a mistake,
and that time might be given to correct
it. The vote for Governor aud other
officers resulted as follows:
GOVERNOR.

Grand Jury Presentments.
We, the Grand Jurors chosen and sworn
for the October Term of the Superior
Court, 1872, make these our general pre
sentments:
We find the Court-house in good order,
and the Jail buildings in general good
condition. We recommend to the Com
missioners to have fired the lightning rode
and certain locks that are ont of repair.
The Jail is cleanly, well supplied with
bedding and blankets, and the wltole sur
roundings reflect much credit upon the
Jailor, Mr. Robt. A. Wood. We find
from the Jailor’s books that the amount
paid Jailor for tive months ending Nov.
Ist, for feeding prisoners,
was. ...$1,795 50
Am’t of turnkeys for same time. 231 00
Making that expense.... $2,02(1 10
This would make expenses for the year
$4,803 81- The cost of dieting prisoners
by the new system inaugurated by the
Commissioners for the year, at the aver
age of 26 prisoners per day—
Cost of rations $ 807 50
Jailor’s wages 1,000 00
Cook’s wages 120 00
Wood aud 0i1.... 160 00
Total $2,107 50
Leaving a balance of $2,750 34 iu favor
of the new system.
We find iu Jail 20 prisoners, and feel
confident that the above estimate will fuily
cover all expenses enumerated, and we do
most heartily approve the action of our
County Commissioners, and recommend
the continuance of the system inaugurated
by them in the management of the Jail
matters.
We find the books of the Tax Receiver
properly made out and a copy deposited
in the office of the Ordinary. The whole
amount of property reported in default is
$424,150. Total number of defaulting
poles is 626—sixty-two (62) of which are
white and the balance (554) are colored.
The Tax Collector's books show that the
assessment for county purposes for this
year amounts to $38,234.88, of which sum
$7,190.03 have already been collected;
$4,641.50 paid to County Treasurer, and
SOOO to Treasurer of the Hnseogee Asy
lum for the poor.
We find upon examination of the Treas
urer’s books, that there was in his hands
when his books were examined by the
last Grand Jury, $1,187.24, since which
time he has received from Tax Collectors
and other sources, $5,011.74, making to
tal $6,200.98. The Treasurer has paid
out during the period of this report, on
proper vouchers, $3,239.68, and he still
holds iu his bauds a balance of $2,961.30.
His books are in good condition and pro
perly kept.
The books of the Clerk of Superior
Court are neatly kept, and his office and
office papers orderly and conveniently ar
ranged. The Clerk of this Court is devo
ting much of his time to restoring to the
office many valuable Court papers that
have been out of place for years. Great
numbers of such papers are still uncollec
ted and in the hands of unknown persons
or are lost. Efforts should be made to
recover and preserve them.
The dockets of the Justice of Peace for
the town districts are kept in good form
and business-like manner, but those of
the country districts, with an exception
or two, are not in so good a form nor
kept in so satisfactory manner.
We recommend that all dockets of Jus
tices of Peace should be uniform and kept
according to law.
Since the assembling of the hist Grand
Jury there has been a vacancy in the
office of Ordinary, caused by the death of
Judge Duer. We have examined the
books of and vouchers of his successor,
Judge Brooks, and find them in good con
dition and properly kept.
Concerning the papers and official acts
of the former incumbent, it will be use
less to speak.
The County Commissioners’ record
book has also been examined, and we take
pleasure in commending the manner iu
which they are managing and preparing
to manage the affairs of the county; aud
we take this occasion to congratulate the
people of the county upon the prospect
of soon having their financial affairs iu
a healthy condition, and the knowledge
that in future the taxes paid by the peo
ple will be judiciously and economically
expended.
The roads and bridges are generally in
good condition, with the exception of the
bridge across Baker’s creek, oil the old
Macon road. It is represented to be in a
dangerous condition, and we recommend
that it be repaired at once. This bridge,
wn.r> rvlrxsuvt ybftes TVi v
Madison Dancer, and we find no bond or
guarantee in tho Ordinary’s office, requir
ing the builder to keep it in order for the
term required by law.
The bridge across Randall’s creek on'
the same road, also needs a few repairs.
The County Asylum for the poor, con
tains thirty-three (33) whites and ten (10)
colored. We find them comfortably pro
vided for, and their necessities supplied,
with the exception of bed-clothing, which
we recommend the Commission to pro
vide. Under the management of the ex
cellent Steward, Maj. Wimberly, there
has been raised ou the place this year,
nearly enough provisions to supply the
inmates.
As regards the Public Schools, we find
under the present law nothing practical
can be done; we trust the Legislature at
its first session, will take the matter under
consideration. The Public Schools in the
city, both white and colored, are under
the exclusive control of the city authori
ties, and we have to report them in their
usual flourishing condition.
The Jury unanimously express their
confidence in the County Commissioners,
and do hereby sanction any arrangement
that they, in their good judgment, may
make in reference to the settling of un
finished contracts and old claims against
the county, made by the late Ordinary.
They further express it as their judg
ment that the county should pay half of
the expenses incurred in the opening of
the “Big Ditch, " as per agreement with tho
city authorities.
In accordance with a suggestion from
his Honor, Judge Johnson, we havo con
tracted with George Y. Pond, to collect
and record all old court papers.
In accordance with au Act approved
Aug. 24th, 1872, we appoint H. S. Estes,
B. F. Coleman and Jas. A. Bradford a
committee to inspect aud examine, during
vacation, the books, papers, &c., of the
various county officers, and report to the
next term of the Grand Jury.
To the officers of the Court, our efficient
Foreman and Secretary, we beg to return
our thanks.
We request that these presentments be
published in both the city papers.

The Fire in Milledgeville Milledgeville
Hole! and Seven Stores Burned—Loss
One Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Special to the Jlaeon Telegraph an t Messenger.
Milledgeville, Nov. 22.—A fire broke
out about three o’clock this morning, in a
cellar under the Macon Store of O. E.
Besore. There being scarcely any means
of defense against fire, the flames had
their own way, and swept everything
within their reach.
The Milledgeville Hotel, a fine three
story brick building, Newell’s Hall and
seven stores were totally burned, causing
a lass of $109,000, about one-fourth of
which was covered by insurance.
During the process of the tire, a young
man named Corey, who was engaged in
business in one of the stores that were
burned, was iu the building, endeavored
to save some of his effects, when a keg of
powder exploded with terrific force, bury in g
h:m in the wreck of the burning building.
His charred remains were taken from
the ruins to-day.
Ed. Campton and several others were
badly hurt at the same time, though no
more fives were lost.
The firs is supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary.
The principal sufferers are Messrs. I.
Hermon, (in whose store the fire was first
discovered,) J. R. Daniel, grocery store;
Mrs. N. S. Holdridge, milinery; H. Ad
ler, dry goods; and Geo. W. Haas, all of
whom had stores in the Milledgeville Ho
tel block. Messrs. Thomas A .Sanford
aud Windsor A Lamar, in Newell’s Hall, :
saved most of their goods.
The furniture in tne hotel was almost
all consumed, and Messrs. Trice & Calla
way's loss is severe.
Sir. O. E. Besore of Macon says he loses
nine thousand dollars by the Milledgeville
fire.
Tne'Sth District Court decides that Her
ron is tho aefacto Secretary of the State
of Louisiana. The case will probably go I
to the Supreme Court.

in behalf of the Florida Ship Canal. The
estimated cost $1,087,000,000. If the
construction reduce the premiums on in
surance three-eights of one per cent., the
annugl saving to commence from this
source alone would amount to $2,870,-
734 90 and in freight we could safely add
as much more.
It is estimated that two miles square of

Hon. Joseph 11. Speed, the Republican
Superintendent of Public Institution,
elect, received his certificate of election
and was qualified Wednesday, says the
Journal.
Appropos to the subject we find this in
a Washington dispatch to the Courier-
Journal :
The action of the United States Marshal
in Alabama iu arresting Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature for alleged viola
tion of the election law's, and carrying
them to Mobile to prevent a quorum of
the Legislature, is severely condemned
by the Administration as unwise, unnec
essary, and perhaps illegal. If the ac
count of the affair telegraphed North is
correct, the Marshal w'ho made the ar
rests will receive a severe reprimand, if
not the greater punishment of being dis
missed from office. Such is the expressed
view of Attorney General Williams.
A man caned another in Mobile Thurs
day on account of some social scandal.
It is said that the Lieutenant-Governor
elect, Judge McAiustry, of Mobile, does
not take stock in the Radical revolution
ary enterprise. The rumor is entitled to
confidence, for his associations give proof
that up to this time he is not one of the
conspirators. As he is a Georgian by
birth, this fact is mentioned to his credit.

A Costly Legal Struggle:—-A snit be
gan in 1867 by the Hudson Canal Compa
ny against the Pennsylvania Coal Compa
ny has just been terminated in favor of
the coal company in all points by the
Courts of Appeals in New York. The
most notable feature of the case is that
the judgment in the court below in favor
of the plaintiff amounted to only $16,-
481 43 and the taxable costs in the case
amounted to $150,000 to $200,000, the
bill of one referee being $20,000.
The Florida Legislature, from the com
plexion of the returns, will be ch.se. At
present, the Senate stands twelve Conser
vatives to ten Republicans—two districts,
the first and thirteenth, undetermined.
In the Assembly, the Conservatives and
Liberals have certainly elected twenty-five
members out of the fifty-three composing
that body, with a good prospect of at least
one if not two more.

Rural Beauties and City Bells.—
Country girls are not a whit behind their
metropolitan sisters in the natural ele
ment of loveliness, but it must be con
ceded that the city belles best understand
the art of preserving and heightening
their personal beauty. The most perfect
features lose half their attraction unless
the complexion is properly cared for, and
if the pretty girls of the rural distriot
wish to compete with the “fair stars” of
the fashionable world in refined attrao- i
tioiiK, they must pay due attention to this
important point. They ought to know,
for the fact is notorious, that Haoan’s
Magnolia Balm imparts to the skin a deli- ;
cate, pearly appearance, unproducable by
any other preparation under the sun. No
matter how the cuticle may have been
roughened by exposure or disclored by the
sun, the Balm will render it soft and
pliant, and removes every blemish.
A Triumph.—No medicine ever offered
to the Public has won for itself such a re
putation in so short a time as DR. TUTT'S
EXPECTORANT. Wherever it has been in
troduced, it has snperceded all other
Cough remedies. It not only cures the
Cough, but so thoroughly purifies the
Lungs, that no fear of its return need be
apprehended.
Memphis, Feb. 11, 1869.
Dr. Wm. 11. Tutt:
Sir—l have been suffering for nearly
two years with a severe cough and great
difficulty of breathing. My weight was
one-hundred and forty-five pounds ; and
when I commenced taking your Expecto
rant, I was reduced to one hundred and
sixteen. I had tried almost everything;
had terrible night sweats. I have taken
half a dozen bottles. The night sweats
have left me, the cough has almost disap
peared, and I have gained fifteen pounds
in weight. I believe it will cure my
cough. I recommended it to all my
friends. With respect,

obstructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable state
of the stomach, and great torpor of the bowels, being
clogged up with vitiated accumulations. In their treat
ment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon
these various organs, is essentially necessary. There )%
no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr J Walker’s
Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the
dark colored viscid matter with which the bowels are
loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of
the liver, and generally restoring the healthy function#
