Captain llznky K. Hodcbs Las completed the
Foiled States survey of the Flint river and ha* re
turned to Bainbridgc.

Tiie mortuary report of the sexton of Augusta
shows thirteen deaths from meningetis from the
Ist to the Bth inst.
The wheat and oat crops in some portions of
North Georgia were badly injured by the recent
cold snap.
The amount oI import duties paid at the Sa
vannab Custom-house during January was sli,*
612,38 on cargoes brought by foreign ships, and
only sls 10 ou those brought by American ships.
On the 11th inst. the Convention bill was
dually killed in the Ilouec—a motion to reconsid
er having failed by a large majority. On the pre
vious day it waa lost by live votes. This action
settles the question lor the present session.
'lire Knquirer says the factories have orders
tar ahead, and the principal one—the Eagle und
Fhumlx—receives them so fast, and such heavy
ones, that they have to be filed away, and some
times wait lor weeks before they can be filled.
Rev. Dr. A. A. Lipscomb, Chancellor to the
University of Georgia, will deliver the anniversary
address entitled, “ Georgia, Old and New,” at the
thirty-fourth anulversary of the Georgia Histori
cal Society of Savannah.
Tnu Star reports that all danger is now over
from the spread of small pox in Spalding. There
lias been twelve eases in all and only one death.
Dr. K nott reports three have recovered, three
convalescent sod the balance doing well and the
pest house faithfully guarded.
A bankeu in Savannah Tuesday, waa offering
for new parties five hundred shares of Central
Railroad and Banking Company stock at SBS, to
be delivered at the option ol the sellers, at any
time within the next twelve months. Wednes
day t tie odor was accepted by another firm in the
tame business for themselves and others. The
pa pern say a thousand shares were taken at s9l.
The depot on the State road at Resaeo was
burned on the night ol the 11th. The building
was ol atone, having wooden covering, shingles,
and was a good bulldiLg. There was no tire in
the building, and the presumption is that It was
tired by sparks passing from a locomotive smoke
stack. The loss iu the building has riot yet been
estimated in figures. In goods and grain the loss
Is put down at $5,000. The books in the oflice
were ail burned.
The Star states that Judge Jared Whitaker, of
Atlanta, is quite ill and in very indigent circum
stances. He was once Mayor of Atlanta, and rep
resented Fulton county In the Legislature. He is
a clever man, and we deplore the adverse circum
stances which have reduced him to such straits.
We learn that the bar of Atlanta arc looking after
bis wants.
A correspondent wilting to the Atlauta Sun, in
speaking of Gainesville, says : The way Gaines
ville has crro'TD the Air Line road was fin
ished Is simply surprising, for now there is a
resident population of 3,000 souls, which, during
the coming summer, will no doobt be temporarily
increased to at least 4,000. It is 1,230 leet above
tlie level of the sea. Corn is selling at 75 cents
per bushel; fodder, 1 50 per hundred; egg* 26
cents per dozen; chickens, 20 to 22 cents apiece.
Tits Bainbridgc, Cutbbert and Columbus Rail
road was sold at public outcry, in Bainbridgc,
Tuesday, to Mr. J. G. Gibbs, for $30,000.. It is
not stated for wboui lie purchased it. The sale
wus for the benefit ol the creditors, and includes
the charter, fraueblse, road bed and all the prop
erty of the company. On this road has been ex
pended some $280,000, $109,000 of which was iu
end), and the remaining SIBO,OOO the company
owe lor. It has been graded titty miles, and cross
ties were luid lor that distance two years ago.
The electoral vote was counted on the 12th.
The Seuate separated from the House on three
Georgia votes cast for Greeley. The Senate voted,
“count them;” the House voted nay; so they
were cast out. Th* whole vote of Mississippi was
couuted. Both bodies separated on Texas, the
objection being that less than a majority ol the
Electoral College filled vacancies, and that the
proper officers did not certify to the credentials.
The vote was finally counted. The votes of Louis
iana and Arkansas were being considered when
the two Houses adjourned.

Savannah is lieh. The Advertiser collates
some interesting facts from the Mayor’s aunual
report. (Juder the bead of city resources it finds
that the city owns $1,411,000 worth ot railway
stocks aud bonds. There are six hundred and
ninety-three lots under lease, valued at $2,015,000,
and 35 not sold. Springfield Plantation is valued
at $40,000; water works site at $250,000; part of
Hutchinson's island, $10,000; city dispeusary,
$8,000; Exchange building,sloo,ooo; new market
bouse $150,0$0; fire departmeut lots and buildings
$76,000; police barracks, $50,000 ; powder maga
zine, etc., $7,500; street and lanes lot and stable,
$12,000; dredge machine, steamer Petit and boats,
$55,000; amount of taxable real estate aud im
provements, $19,711,265.
Tub Hamilton Visitor says Captain West, a
wealthy capitalist of New York, together with
Captain A. Griffith, of Home, has purchased
twenty thousand acres of land nineteen miles
trom Home, on the line of the North and South
llailroad. The road is graded to withia two miles
of hi* location. Within six mouths, Captain West
wtil have laborers, representing one thousand
people, at w ork, and will ship forty tons of pig
Iron per day. He will require one hundred cords
ol wood daily. These reflections have been sug
gested by a conversation of Captain W. with Gov
ernor Smith, which was repeated to ns by a gen
llemau who heard it. The Captaiu, a man of vast
practical experience tn the iron business, assured
the Governor that Polk county contains more good
ort than the ichole HU its of J\nttsylvanui.
From the Telegraph and Messenger we learn
that a very important arbitration case, involving a
claim of ten thousand dollars against the city of
Macon, is now in process of arbitration in the
office ot Hou. Washington Poe. The claim is
that of Gen. John T. Croxton, of Kentucky, and
is in the form ot a fee for service rendered the
city. When the war ended, among other property
seized by the United States Government was the
Confederate armory property in that city. Upon
this property, however, the government finally
relinquished its claim. Croxtou, who was a gen
eral iu the Federal army, claims that it was
through his intercession that the government was
induced to relinquish the property, and he now
wauls a tee of ten thousand dollars for the ser
vice. The matter has been submitted to arbitra
tion. General Croxton selected Col. James T.
Nisbev as his arbitrator; the city selected Hon.
Cliflord Anderson, and the two selected Hon.
Washington Poe as umpire. General Croxtou is
represented by Col. W. A. Lofton, ascouusel, and
the city by its attorneys, Messrs. R. W. Jemisou
and John B. Weems. The hearing of the case
was commenced on Saturday and is likely to con
tinue several dayi.
The Slate Finance*.
On the 10th Gov. Smith sent a special message
to the legislature to the effect that two million
five hundred and sixty seven thousand five hun
dred and thirty five dollars must be provided for
the carrent year, to meet bonds falling due, and
pay interest on public debt. Among the debts
are Russel Sage’s claim of three hundred and
seventy-five thousand dollars to pay interest of
five hAdred and *ixty-seven thousand in gold
quarterly bonds to January Ist 1874, and to pay
bonds falling dne this year and January 1874, and
to pay interest on the public debt. Message re
ferred to the jolDt finance committee to report on
the 11th.
The Governor gays the means of meeting this
large demand upon the treasury, are first by taxa
tion ; second, by funding such portions of said
claims as do not tail within the ordinary cur
rent expenses of the Government.
The value of the taxable property of the State,
as shown by the report of the Comptroller Gen
eral, is something over $226,000,000. There is no
reason to doubt that tbi- valuation would be in
creaaed, upon an honest appraisement to $250,-
000,000. The Executive concludes as follows:
But even at this incresed valuation, justice to
ourselves forbids that we should rely upon this
source alone to raise the amount required. Many
of the citizens of the State have found it very
difficult to pay the taxes imposed by the present
law. If the present rate should be doubled, it
would be found, in many instances, impossible
for the people to comply with the demands of the
tax-gatherers without parting with their homes
and household goods. By adopting regulations
which would secure au honest appraisement of
the taxable property ol the Btate, and by adopt
ing such measures as will result in Binding the
claims above stated, except such as are included
in the current expenses ol the government, even
the present rate of taxation may be reduced with
out detriment to the public service. From the
foregoing statement it will be seen that the
amount of the claims upon the Treasury necessary
to be provided lor at the present session is very
large. I submit the question of the ways and
means for meetiug these claims, and for relieving
the public credit from its present embarrassed
condition, to the wisdom and patriotism of the
representatives of the people.
Tlic Spanish Troubles.
The long continued troubles in Spain have re
sulted in the abdication of the yonng K'mg, Ama
deus, who was imported from Italy to rule a few
years ago, which solemn act was followed by the
Cortes, or national congress, declaring Spain
a Republic. We call it a farce, simply because
the idea that Spanish politicians can control their
choleric constituents in the ways of law and order
is ridiculous.
The cable informs us that on the 11th the tv. o
houses assembled at a late hour, when the formal
message of abdication of King Amadeus was read
in each Chamber separately. It opens with the
statement that the King has maturely eousidered
the questiou of what course he ought to pursue
with reference to the Spanish throne, and has
firmly resolved upon that course.
When he accepted the crown be did so under
the belief that the loyalty of the people who called
him would compensate for the inexperience which
he brought to his task, but he had lound that
herein he was deceived. If the enemies who had
beset his path had been foreigners, he would not
have takeu the course now determined upon. But
they are Spaniards, and by them Spain had beuu
kept in perpetual disquiet. All his efforts to
quiet her, put an end to intrigues, which
were the source of ner agitation, proved unavail
ing. It was not enough that he had partizau sup
port ; he had no wish to remain on the throne as
the King ot a party. Ete therefore announced his
abdication on behalf of himself and heirs. Upon
the completion of the reading, the Senate and
Congress met together iu the chamber ot the lat
ter, aud constituted themselves the sovereign
Cortes ot Spain.
Seuor Rivero, President of Congress, was called
to the chair, and iu a brief speech declared himself
ready to answer for the pieservatlon of order and
the execution of the decrees of the sovereign
power.
The vote was then takeu on the quettlon of
accepting, without discussion, the abdication of
Amadeus, and it was accepted unanimouly.
A commission from tbe members of Congress
was then appointed to draft a reply to the mes
sage, and another commission to accompany the
King to the frontier.
Seuor Pio then proposed a resolution establish
itig a republic, aud vesting in the Assembly the
supreme power. The resolution was adopted by
w vote ot yeas 256, nays 32.
Is it Tuuk ?—Writing cn the 11th inst., the At
lanta correspondent of the Telegraph and Messen
ger gives us this bit of gossip:
Your correspondent learns that some days since
while Mr. Hill, in company with several gentle
men in this city, were engaged in a general con
versation in the United States Supreme Court
room, the subject of the Supreme Judgeship was
introduced, and several conjectures were made as
to who would receive the appointment. Mr. Hill
at this juncture volunteered some information,
which a little astonished the company, and has
created no little surprise among others whose ears
it has reached.
Mr. llill stated that Governor Smith had twice
off red him the position of Supreme Judge. First,
the Governor had asked him whether or not he
could accept the appointment, and V, r. Hill as
sured him it was impossible. A day or two there
atter Governor Smith sent one of his “staff” to
Mr. Hill, tendering him the appointment the sec
ond time, but that he again respectfully declined
the appointment.
Friends and enemies of the Governor are a little
puzzled to account for his delay in this matter.
It is whispered that his recent appointments have
given great dissatisfaction, and that he seeks to
reinstate himself in public favor by a coup d'etat.
From the Griffin News we learn that the Griffin,
Monticello and Madison railroad is in deep water.
That journal says.
Several bills of Injunction against this Road
have been filed, and were set down for a hearing
before Judge Hall yesterday, but were postponed
for a conple ol weeks. The officers of the road have
made manly efforts to keep it up, and build it;
but from the present state of affairs, we can see
no way for the Road to get relief except through
voluntary bankruptcy. This would doubtless be
the surest way to have it built: let it go into
liquidation, and change into the hands of those
who are able to construct it. This will probably
be the result of the present litigation. It is true
the present stockholders aud creditors will loose
their claims, bnt it wiil be nothing unusual in
enterprises of the kind.
A Sobbr Segoed Thought. —The United States
Attorney General has directed the United States
District Attorney at Mobile to discontinue the
suits brought agaiust the importers of foreign
goods who, during the war paid custom dutits to
Confederate officials, said suits being instituted to
recover to the United Spates the amounts thus
paid as import taxes. The Attorney General takes
ground that, as the Confederate government was a
and/ facto government at that time, and that as peo
ple where said taxes were paid were cot able to
resist it, and the United States officers not being
there to receive duties, the suits which have been
entered ought not to be prosecuted.
The work of decorating Pennsylvania avenue
ia Washington, on the occasion of President
Grant’s inauguration, has been awarded to Mr.
W. F. Sheible of Philadelphia, who has had much
experience in street decorations. The plans are
not perfected, but it is said he intends to have fif
teen triumphal arches at different points between
Seventeenth street and the Capitol. Why not
cover the avenue from the White House to the
Capitol with a silken canopy iu imitation of that
which covered the avenue through which Empe
ror Napoleon 111. was wont to enter the Palais d’
Industrie, during the Grand Exposition ? Why
i not do things np iu au Imperial style?
FORSYTH, GEORGIA, Til
Washington item*.
There is now no doubt of the President inten
tion to start in about six weeks, upon an exten
sive Southern tour.
It is announced that the President has decided
to renew his aggressive policy against the Mor
mons. A few days since he held a conference
with the Secretary of State, Attorney General, and
the House and Senate Judiciary Committees on
the subject. It Is thought that a less harsh and
oppressive law than the Culiom bill, which was
defeated last session, can be framed and passed
before the dissolution of Congress. The Presi
dent’s interest in the matter is stimulated by a
memorial which he has received from the Gen
tiles of the Territory, reciting the wrongs which
they have suffered, and continue to suffer, at the
hand 6of the Saints. The delegate to Congress
from Utah bitterly opposes any action by Con
gress, and complains that the legislation proposed
is only the first step in a movement which has for
its object the destruction of the Mormon system.
A strennons effort is being made to raise the
President’s salary. To secure votes which could
not otherwise be obtained it is designed to put up
the pay of Congress to SS,OOO a year, to include
the present Congress, so that every retiring mem
ber will pocket $6,0C0 in addition to his regular
salary of $5,000 per annum. This bribe is likely
to cariy the day. Without it the bill would not
have the slightest chance. The whole scheme is
an outrage. The President’s pay to day is equal
to more than $50,000, including the advantages
attached to the White House. He pays, in fact,
for nothing but his entertainments, and they are
few and far between. Pierce and Bnchanan lived
far more hospitably and generously than Grant
does, and yet never spent their salaries. Lincoln
saved more than one half of his pay. Congress
gives Grant a steward, servants, lights, fuel,
kitchen garden, green house, stables, stationery,
secretaries, clerks, messengers, and a host of
things which other Presidents paid for ont of
their own pockets. Yet they never complained.
Greed is the order of the day, and it begins at the
White House.
A Small-Pox Remedy.
The following statement of a correspondent of
the Stockton (Cal.) Herald has been going the
rounds of the papers. An ex-Californlan says he
has seen it tested with entire success. We repro
duce it, therefore, for what it is worth :
I herewith append a recipe which has been used
to my knowledge in hundreds of cases. It will
prevent or cure the small-pox, though the pittings
are filling. When Jenner discovered the cow pox
iu England, the world of science hurled an ava
lanche of fame upon his head ; but when the most
scientific school in the world—that of Paris—pub
lished this recipe as a panacea for small-pox it
was passed unheeded. It is as unfailing as fate,
and conquers in every instance. It is harmless
when taken by a well person. It will also cure
scarlet lever. Here is the recipe as I have used
it, and cured my children of the scarlet fever;
here it is as I have used it to cure small-pox.
When learned physicians said the patient must
die, it cured : Sulphate zinc, one grain ; foxglove,
(dignitalis), one grain; half a teaspoonlul ot
sugar; mix with two tablespoonsful of water.
When thoroughly mixed, add four ounces of
water. Take a spoonful every hour. Either dis
ease will disappear in twelve hours. For a child,
smaller doses, according to age. If counties
would compel their physicians to use this, there
would be no need ot pest-houses. If you value
advice aud experience, use this for that terrible
disease.
The Chelsea (Mass.) Public says four or five
ctises ol the disease have been cuVed by the tfuove
remedy in that town to tbe editor’s personal
knowledge.
Atlanta has been peculiarly blessed iu the last
week with the presence of “ J.N.,” A. D. Webster,
and a Mrs. Ballou. Tbe first a crazy wanderer,
the two last spiritualistic teachers, though differ
ing somewhat. Says the Herald :
Some days ago Mrs. Addle L. Ballou, with some
flourish of trumpets, challenged Dr. Harrison to
meet her in debate —insinuating that he was a
coward if he backed out, and saying that she
would take no excuse. She seemed anxious for a
tight. He refused, and she triumphed. But now
Dr. Webster comes to the front and denounces
Mrs. Ballou, and challenges her to meet him in
debate.
There is also a Dr. Cleveland in the city who
pretends he can cure disease by simply laying on
of hands, etc. The local reporter of the Herald
gives a sample oi his blasphemy as follows:
I can cure, sir, just as Jesus Christ cured
men, by laying my hands on them.
Reporter—How did you get this power?
D. C.—l got it just as Jesus did. It was devel
oped in me. Jesus went into a care and devel
oped himself rightly, and also into a high mount
ain. By the same procedure I developed myself
and now I cau cure men just as he did—by the
layiDg on of my hands.
Says the reporter, we intended to have him ar
rested as an imposter, but at the earnest entreaty
of a lriend, who believes in him, we will wait un
til the “ Doctor” has had a trial in onr presence,
and then ii he fail (as of course he will), we will
guarantee to make Atlanta too hot to hold him.
The London Grocer says : Some few years ago
provision dealers would scarcely have liked to
admit the fact of their selling American cheeae to
their customers, but the enterpiising and even
scientific American farmer has, under the factory
system of manufacture, so far changed this state
of things that the American article is often supe
rior to most of the English made, and in many
instances fully equal to the finest Cheddar and
Cbesire qualities ; hence, that which at one time
dared not have been openly countenanced is now
sold by all first-class dealers to an appreciative
public. The improvement in the make and qualify
of American cheese, has been accompanied by an
improvement in the breed and feed of pigs, and
any one who has visited the States of late years
knows that the bacon and hams there are equal to
onr own.
An adjourned meeting of the survivors of the
Mexican war was held on the 9lh, at Pittsbnrg,
and a memorial to Congress was approved, setting
forth that almost a generation has now passed
since the conquering columns dictated an honora
ble peace with Mexico, and but few of the men
who participated are left to ask bounty of the
Government; and that, in view of the benefit de
rived by the nation from the acquisition of Cali
fornia aad New Mexico, they ask Congress to
grant a pension commensurate with the results
springing from their services and achievements ;
and as these provinces were acquired from Mexico
for the sum of $15,000,000, added to the cost of
the war, and this heritage was fought for by pri
vate soldiers for seven dollars per month, they
appeal to Congress to remember them in their de
clining years.
The New York Weekly News (Ben Wood’s pa
per) thus refers to Postmaster Creswell’s proposed
abolition of press as well as of Congressional priv
ileges of free postage:
Postmaster General Cresswell carries his hos
tility to the press to that point that he would re
quire them to prepay the postage to their sub
scribers. If the Government will guarantee that
to all cases the papers aforesaid shall reach those
who have subscribed fo r them, and that the let
ters remitting money to newspapers shall not be
stolen or mislaid by iu agents, then we have no
donbt that the press would generally accept the
amendment to the Postal law proposed by the
Postmaster General. Until it does that, however,
they will most respectfully |object It would be
mauilestiy unfair "to take letters and papers and
charge an advance for them, and not be respc risi
ble for their safe delivery.

Olb Bull’s Dog. —Ole Bull, the great Norwe
gian catgut-scraper, has two pets which he loves
passing well—his fiddle and his dog. The former
is more useful than ornamental, aud the latter is
more ornamental than useful. The aog is a small
white poodle, covered with fleece as soft as that
of Mary’s little lamb. Yesterday morning, as Ole
Bull was walking along Fourth street, followed by
his little dog, a squad ot dog-catchers espied the
canine, and noticing that Fido was not provided
with a ticket-of-leave from Collector Wright, in
the shape of a three-dollar brass medal, they
marked him as a foe worthy ot their steel wire.
One of the boys, carrying a wide noose behind his
back, slipped cautiously up to Fido, aud with a
dexterous turn of the wrist lassoed him. A dis
tressing “yawp !” from the dog attracted the at
tention of the musician, and, looking around, he
saw his favorite in the hands ot the Philistines.
Then ensued a scene at once ludicrous aud tragi
cal. Ole Bull exclaimed, “ Mein Gott! vot you
do wiz mein little dog!”
“He ain’t got no ‘C. T. P.’ on,” replied the
dog-catcher, “ and we’s goin’ to impound him.”
“ I will pound you if you let him not go,” said
the fiddler, taking hold of the dog and freeing
him from the noose. The dog ran lor life, the
dog-catcher pursued, half a dozen newsboys fol
lowed, and Ole Bull brought up the rear. Several
times the catcher threw out his noose, which tie
iog eunninn'Jr dodged. jOle greatly agi
tated, and was no doubt iungry enough fo~anniUi
late every dog-catcher in the city. Being unable,
however, to keep up with the chase, he resorted
to strategy. Taking a position in an open door
on Chestnut street, he whistled to the dog, and
the sagacious animal ran in, and bounding up the
stairs, was soon safe from pursuit. Ole Bull then
secured him, and the fiends of tbe dog-pound
were cheated out of a victim. — St. Louis Democrat.
A New Movement in the West. —A movement
is now on foot in the West looking to the forma
tion of “ Farming Guilds” in that section. The
farmers of several of the Western States and also
those ot Calfornia, are considering this subject,
while in Illinois and lowa conventions of farmers
have been held for the purpose of protecting their
crops from what they call confiscation by combi
nations of speculators aud railroad managers. And
their example is being followed in California,
where the papers advise the farmers to organize
secret associations for the purpose of more effect
ive concert and co operation. The members of
these guilds or societies in Illinois and lowa de
clare they were forced to combine and adopt cer
tain line* of action because farmers had found it im
possible to ship grain to Chicago and pay freights
and commission. They were relapsing into a pas
toral condition; but, by a united effort to bring
down freights and commissions they made grains
once more staple, with a fair chance of a profi
table market. The societies, it is further said,
invite bids from merchants to furnish supplies to
members, under the guarantee of having their
trade. Contracts were awarded to merchants who
agreed to famish supplies at ten per cent, advance
on cost prices. The societies appointed commit
tees to examine bills of invoice, and to the cost
add ten per cent, and freight. A schedule of prices
was provided for the guidance of the purchasers,
and thus the prices were certain. Each member
had a pass-book, in which wero entered his pur
chases. During the first quarter after this ar
rangement was made, many of the members saved
as much ar slS4and S2OO as compared with the old
way. These associations are increasing in number
in all parts of the West, and are fast becoming a
power iD that section.
The President, in his message, suggested the
propriety of his being authorized to extend an in
vitation to the international Statistical Congress
to hold its next session in the United States. The
House Committee on Foreign Affairs will report a
bill, giving the President the authority he desires.
The Congress has already held sessions at the
capitals of Belgium, Austria, France, Great Brit
ain, Prussia, Italy, Holland and Russia, by invita
tion of the respective governments of those coun
tries. The next session of Congress will doubt
less be held in Washington. The labors of the
Congress are directed to the advancement of the
science of international statistics, the uniformity
of coinage weights and measures, and commercial
regulations and statistical publications between
the different nations of the civilized world.
That agent of the Evil One, Oakes Ames, has
been rusticating up in Massachusetts for several
days, but he telegraphs to Washington that he
will be on hand next Monday with that memo
randum book of his, which contains several addi
tional receipts for dividends on the Credit Mobilier
stock signed by members ot Congress. If the
train which bears Mr. Ames to Washington jumps
the track and wipes him out of existence, we
presume we will have a right to regard the episode
as a miraculous interposition.

The Postmaster General has issued advertise
ments for bids for the new penny postal cards. It
ia the intention of the Department to have the
cards ready for issue by the first of May. It wil
be impossible to make the necessary arrangements
sooner. The Postmaster General has already re
ceived orders for the new cards in such numbers
as to lead him to believe that $100,000,000 of them
will be issued tie first year.
The World’s Washington correspondent tele
graphs that there was a general laugh in the Sen
ate on Thursday last when Senator Ramsey
endeavored to call up his Postal Telegraph bill.
The conviction grows stronger each day that this
measure will uot even reach the dignity of discus
sion the present session.
