Such bills of impor- '■ Uiilhort recommenda, aa a matter of Sauce aa have been introduced are so permanent economy, the hallnatlng of iinaatiafactorily reported that wu have! the ltoad bed with broken atone ene thought it beat to wait until they he- foot deep, which we regard aa emt- come lawa before publishing them.— Our readers may reel nieured that all laws the Legislature msy snset of gon- •rsl interest will he furnished them through the columns of the Citizen. I'iiincr and Clift—(most of our rsaders have no doubt heard of thoso carpet-baggers who were nlectod to Congress from tho Fifth nnd First Congressional Districts of Georgia by negroes and moan whites)—have been reluctantly compelled to vacate..lliolr •cat* in tho National House of Repre sentatives, Their mongrel brethren thero Imvo refused to extond to thorn the right hand of fellowship, why we know not, aud they mado a “boo-line'' for their homes away up In the frozen regious of Maine, where we hopo they may tarry for aye, and never again pollute the soil of Georgia with their leprous presence. A mooted question with some Kill- ters is, “If women talto to politics what will become of tho babies ?” to which Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton thus retorts in a Convention of women at Washington: “ Yon horrid men need not bo nncasy; marriage will still go on the same as ever, and tho cradle will stilt be rocitd." Bully for you, Stan ton, for “speckin’ out in mootin'.”— But will the charming Elizabeth please inform tho “horrid man” hereof who will “rock tho cradle,” and whether or not the women Intend to recent the baby arrangement In any material way from what it la now? One of the bloodieat fights on record occurred In Robertson county, Ten nessee, on the 21st ult., between John Dunn and H. K. Jones. The weapons used were a hoavy hickory club and an axe. The cliib was in tho bauds pf Jones, who threatened nt every blow to reduco his antagonist to a jelly, so iisnvily nnd rapidly did bis chib de scend on tho head, back, face, arms and hands of his Opponent; but he be ing a powerful man, stood the storm of blows with rerasrkable courage un til lie could bring Ills nxo luto play, which ho soon did, and aiming It with . all the force llo. possessed at tho head of Jones, ho struck tho iowar pnrt of ono'of hie ears, literally splitting Ids Jaw lit that point, and cutting oh half tho chin, leaving a hole in the face horrible to behold. At this stage of tiie fight friends of both interforred, when a goneral rencontre took place, In which some twolve or fifteen persons wore either stahbod, shot, or severely tiruiscd with sticks and rocks, aom e - dangerously, the fight not subsiding until nil the combatants were cither laid prostrate or exhausted. Tnz census of “loll” Mnssnphusotts, Just published, reveals the startling fact that there is one pauper to every twenty-one Inhabitants in that State.— But notwithstanding this,pions(l) Mas sachusetts, that will not make provis ion for lior pauper population, is all tho while writing dolorous articles about the alarving and cruelly trented negroos of the South. Away with such false, puritanical pliy)anthropy! ilAaPEH'a Weekly, which is the blackest of mongrel sheets, Is getting Its eyes open. It has mads the Start ling discovery that the scoundrels who are sent to govern the South are “ mis erable vermin,” and “wonders that the South does not robel anew” ho. - cuuso of this thing. Ono word, Messrs. Harper: If you would be moro chari table to our people, cease publishing so many lies about them, and write . those " miserable vormin” out of Con gress, where thero arc scores elected from Northern States, this species of orwn .Iuti.wr’u new finance schomu j Wasiiioqtos Niwh 1 lie following I pay the national debt, the substance Is gleaned from the Louisville Courier- i nothing more Dor lees than Journal's Washington correspondence, of tho 30th : H . Gen. Grant has prepared his regie* tratlon ns Ucnctnl of the Army, and will tender It to President Johnson nsnlly wise, since by such a system of hr,Hasting tho cost of keeping up the Bond would bo gieally lessened. Ho also recommends tiiat the net earn ings of tiie Bond for tho next twelve months he expended to ronko It first class in nil its departments, which may or may not bo wiso; nnd also all ocates the fencing of the Bond and recommends that each adjacent land owner and tho Bond divide the expense. Tho Superintendent says tho Bead from Dalton to Tunnel lllll is now be ing fenced, as nn experiment, to see whether It Is cheaper to fence or pay for stock killed, Oiir opinion (If we mny bo allowed to express it) is that tho thing is highly Impracticable, for tho renson that after the ltoad ia once fenced, which would take an immense amount of money, It would require a very heavy yearly expenditure to koop the lino of fence in repair. , The Superintendent maintains that there is no. Justice In requiring roads to pay for stock accidentally killed by trains, since It is net reasonable to suppose that a locomotive driver would wiilrutly endanger Ills own life by pur posely running over stock; and calls for legislation to prohibit' stock from running at large*upon tho lino of rail ways. In his rcpoit ho also argues, and with ability, that roads ought not to be compelled to pay the 'claims of employees for injurlos sustained while on duty, and Is very caustic In his re marks on the pronaness of juries to decide against a Bond in Sueli esses. Taken altogether, the report of Col. Hulbert is highly interesting, and his recommendations ably sst forth.— That he Is thoroughly acquaintsd with railroading in all its ramifications has been fully evidenced by Ills judi cious management of the Hoad thus far; and should his administration throughout he marked with a disposi tion to consult tho public weal by an economical expenditure of the earn ings of this great work, the people, Us owners, will have no worde of censure for him. on to pay the government's promises uot duo hi -promisee already broken, is creating considerable dis-' cuis'on among the .Norllieru Journals. The whole scheme le condemned in mi- measured terms by all of them. The S’. Y. Hun pronounces tho bill a finan cial monstrosity, and tht Poll says Butler's scheme !• ono limply "au thorizing all debtors to client their creditors,” and suggests, linee it Is too complicntsd, that it be simplified be fore ndoptlon. Now, so far as we arc Individually concerned, wo do not care a brass farthing how our Northern masters fix up their financial troubles. The country is on the verge of bank ruptcy, llint'e certain (tho result or mongrel misrule), nnd at we are not a party Interested to hurt (we being al ready " dead broke ”) our equilibrium wll? aot he disturbed In the least when the great financial crash, collapse, hurst up, does come, as come it mint, if the mongrule do not mond their way* nnd quit running the reconstruction ma- cbino and stealing tho pcoploVmoney, of which there it not raueh hope. From the-laud' ofi wooden 1 nutmegs, divorces, elopements and woman's rights conventions, we have received a refreehlng little atory of an elope ment in high life, tho principal abtors in which were the wife- of a cotton broker in the city of New York and the son of a wealthy grain- merchant of Chicago. Tht Chicago blood was an Intimate friend of tho husband of tho fait* one, and.was n frequent visi tor at hia homo in Brooklyn,- which resulted in swarm attachment spring ing up between him and the wife of bis friend, followed by a clandestine elopement on board a steamer bound for-Eilropo. The first Intimation the loving nnd faithful husband had of hie wife’s infidelity was conveyed in the fallowing consolatory note: . ‘ SSTBHBAT MOSSISO. . "Due Cnisiis: 1 munitu dsy lilil joufood bye forerrr. To-day I lento tour home, nettr again lo return. I cannot help it. Fort long timu I liaro Intel] J« in my heart, and 1 know lie lores nit. When this readies you I will be on my way across lbs its. Your once loting Tsssss." The New England ptllicoaltrt nro a strong-minded set far true—they like change in every thing, even to chang ing off their men for new ones. Well, every one to their laete, ns the good old dame said when she kirsed tiie cow; hut from such taste nnd ancli morals may the good Lord deliver our sunny section. What Next?—The Petticoat poli ticians of the North hare a fruitful!'« agination, or rather they have n great deal to say about politics, love, (“free- lovlsm,” we presume) civilization and Christianity. Every now and then they leave their modesty and babies at next week, on the tl'ity lifter the electo ral vot'o for President' 1s counted aud declared by Congress. Tho feature of to-day’s proceedings In Congress was the passage by tho House of tho constitutional suffrage amendment liy the required two-thirds vote. But tw’oBcpiilillCaiis, Bingham, of Ohio, and Baker, of Illinois, votod against it. - Tho following Is a correct copy of tho proposed 15th Article, which Is to pass the Senate nnd ho ratified by three-fourths of the Legislatures of the Stntcs! Sec. I. Tho right of any citizen of tho United States shall not be denied or abridged by tho United States or any Stale, liy reason of race, or color, or previous condition of slavery, of any citizen or class of citizens of the Uni ted Status. Sec. 2. The Cougrcss shall Hnvtr power to enforce, by appropriate legis lation, tho pro'vtsione of this article. Tlio Georgia question. together with tiie avowed purpose of the Hndiunls to Oust tho Congressmen from that State, Is discussed freely in political clreles. The Democratic members generally seem to think lliii Legislature of that Stale ought to authorize their Supreme Court to take up forthwith and decide the enso now pending where n negro was clerk of n comity office, now ex pelled therefrom on account of his col or, and to which notion ho demurred in the shape Of a civil suit.- The con struction the court would put on the vexed question of the political status of the negro in that State, it is thought, would go far towards harmonizing nnd settling impending troubles. Bcono on a Railway Car. Many lesson* are to be learned from tho great book of human events, and many scenes witnessed on the stage of Ufa that make up epieodee in our earth journeylugs, eomo of which w* like and some we dislike. Somo sad and mournful picturee'rlse before us—some are joyous and glad, and some unique, eccentric, whilst others savor of the ridiculous nnd laughable. A scone of this latter kind we witnessed a few evenings ago whilst on hoard a rail way car, that was pretty woll crowded with human bipeds; and, liy the way, a rail road thoroughfare, is a very good stand-point from which to vlow these little by-plays in the drama of Ufa,and study human nature as different phys iognomies are presented. Our attentlou was attracted, upon the occasion wo have referred to, by tho appearance of a lovely being, whose ethereal face and form conjured up thoughts of poetry, loro, rotuanco and flowers—a very fay from fairy-land, whoso delicate lips must euroly have tipped naught but ambrosial sweets the food of the gods. But onr spell bound gaze was nt length rudely bro ken, and wo rondo the discovery that, with all those “looks and tones,” she was in n high degree of the “esrth earthy”—that ahe hungered ns other mortals, only, n little more so. She was accompanied by a dandified, khl gloved gfcnt (lier newly-made “liege," we presume) who opened a basket (it wss about “feeding" time) filled with all sorti of delicious viands, and tngng borne, if they have cither, and enter the arena of politics hand in hand with tbs Anna Dieklnsons, tho Fied Doug lasses and other “buck niegars," nnd pass numberless nonsensical resolu tions upon the iiihject of political re form, morels, etc. One of these Petti coat Conventions, which hare become very common of late, recently met somewhere in tho land of “ great moral ideas,” and unanimously adopted the following refreshing rciolution: Itesolu-d, Hint nil ides of pun!.hn>onl, bolls In liunisn nnd divine government, vliuuld be done swsv wlih, u >1 war with the law of lovo.

Tempting baits are to be held I up to tho gaze of the unsuspecting, ! nnd a net spread large enough to scoop In millions, more or less. If the peo ple are wise, they will lenru from ex perience that they might just an well' throw their dollars away as to invest them in such enterprises.
