however, not to resume the exercises of the
school until the 12th day of March. This delay is
meant to allay any apprehensions that may still
linger in the minds of the patrons of the school.—

asleep in the room, when the female demon turned
aud dealt her father a blow which killed him in
stantly. She then returned to her husband and
dealt him another blow, this time on the side of
the head,which was thought sufficient to kill him,
but up to the time of writing he still lived,though
mortally wounded. i
Tub Canal Report.—We give to day the full
report of the Committee ou Commerce, of the
United States House of Representatives, upoo
the Atlantic aud Great Western Canal bill. This
report was unanimously adopted by the commit
tee ar.d is now spread upon the Journals of Con
gress. The report of the committee is emphati
cally favorable and will be perused with interest
by all. The Senate has also appointed a committee
on the same subject, but no report is expected
until the next session, and after a visit to the
sections through which the proposed improvemon
will pass.
Inauguration Day —Geu. Grant will don the
Presidential harness tor a second term to-day
The dispatches inform us that the crowd in Wash
ington is the largest ever eongrt gated on a similar
occasion. And the arrangements for a display
almost equal to that of an Imperial fete are elabo
rate. 11 spared by Providence the country will be
ruled four years longer by cne who has heretofore
governed harshly so lar as the people cf the South
were concerned. They have, nevertheless, obeyed
the powers that have been : let us trust that the
exactions of the next four years will not be so se
vere. The ambition ot the President is satisfied,
unless he d.-sires to wear the robes of imperialism
and centralize the government: if satisfied we
can hope ; if not, heaven help the people.
Col. Forney, in his last paper on public men
In the Washington Sunday Chronicle, records an
utterance of Edwin M. Stanton, which is of inter
est at the present juncture. It was in the fall of
just after Siek'.ts had been appointed miffs
ter to Spain. Forney, in company with the new
minister, called on Stanton in Washington, where
the latter seemed just dropping iuio his grave.
The ex Secretary remarked: l * We must make no
mistake about Spain. She is one of our oldest
and ablest allies, and behaved splendidly to us
during the rebellion, refusing to open her port*
to the Confederate cruisers, and never p ouing
through her minister here, like England, against
our cause, i'be Spaniards are a p>rond, j>eculiar
race, aud we eannot do any good for Cuba by
haty action Their prejudices must be respected ;
their interests must not be invaded; their traditions
must not be remembered. Things are moving in
tLe right way at Madrid. I know this, gentlemen.
There is anew spaiu, and you will both live to
see a soiid Spanish republic there it we can oulv
restrain our politicians about Cuba. That pear is
ripening, and will tall as soon as the davs oi the
kings are ended in Spain.'’
Andy Johnson and Colfax.
A dispatch from Washington recalls the fact
that when, five years ago, the House ot Represen
tative* {wared resolution* of impeachment against
Andrew Johnaoa, Mr. „ulf,x v*a-> speaker. After
the roll tad been called through on that occasioo,
and the Hoa*e and gsllerits Were with breathless
anxiety waiting the ann ruucemsnt of the vote,
Mr. Colfax, standing in his place, said it was
not usual for the Speaker to vote, except on ques
tion* wheie there was a tie, bat he was unwilling
that his constituents should be voiceless on an
occasion so momentous. He therefore directed
the clerk to cad his name, and be voted aye.
Neither he, his friends or his enemies then sup
posed that a few years later resolutions looking
to his own impeachment would be introduced,
and that they would come within three votes
ot being adopted, finch was, however, the case.
The resolution to prefer articles of impeachment
against the Vice-President were lost in the House
by a small majority—yeas 106, nays 109. And
those members of the House that were implicated
with Colfax in the Credit Mobilier swindle voted
nay—thus In sustaining the chief sinner support
ing themselves.
It is asserted in Washington that three Demo
crats and two Republicans of the Judiciary Com
mittee favor a report impeaching Colfax. This
constitutes a majority of the committee.
The press dispatch announcing the result of the
House says:
An examination of the vote shows the preseuce
of ninetv-seven Democratic members, all ot whom
voted affirmatively. The only Republicans voting
affirmatively were Messrs. Beatty and Stevenson,
of Ohio; Boles, of Arkan-as, Butler, of Massa
chusetts; Farnsworth, of Illinois; Goodrich, of
New York; Morphia, of Mississippi; gutter, of
Virginia, and Smith, of Vermont. Messrs. Dawes,
Garfield, Bingham and fichofleld, who are among
those implicated in the Crecit Mobilier business,
but who were not convicted by Judge Poland’s
report, all voted against considering the resolu
tion, and it will thus be seen these gentlemen ac
tually anved Mr. Colfax for the time being.
Messrs. Ames, Kelley and Brooks very properly
abstained from voting. The remarks npon Dawes,
Garfield, Bingham and Schofield were not at all
complimentary. In view of the facts set forth in
Poland’s report, it was remarked that they should
at least have retrained from voting. Binguurn hes
itated at first, but he concluded to follow the ex
ample set by Dawes. *
The Republicans felt that they had placed them
selves in an awkward position, and so, alter Mr.
Wood’s resolu'iou was voted down, Mr. Tyner
offered one which was practically the same as
that oliered by Mr. Wood, except that Mr. Col
fax’s name was omitted. This was adopted unan
imously and without a call of the roll. Judge
Bingham is chairman ol the Judiciary Commit
tee, to which the resolution was referred, and
there is some curiosity to know whether he will
participate in the deliberations of the committee
when they come to consider the resoution. The
opinion is almost universal here that the gentle
men named in Poland’s report should abstain
from participation in questions affecting other
members, at least until after Tuesday next, and
after the House has disposed of the report.;.
To-day Andy Johnson, whatever may have been
his faults, occupies a more honorable position
than the hypocrite who five years ago forced him
self into an act of persecution against the Presi
dent. “Curses, like chickens, always come home
to roost!”
Quotation of Georgia Bonds.
Under this head the ChroDicle aud Sentinel re.
plies as follows, to those who it says have as
serted that the State’s credit in New Y r ork Las
been greatly damaged by the action of the Legis
lature with reference to those bonds issued by
Bullock, and which that body declared null and
void:
According to their statements, the damage done
was so great that it has been impossible to dis
pose ot the legal bunds of Georgia except at a
ruinous discount it was useless to reply that
the quotations of the State securities in the finan
cial articles of New York papers showed that our
bonds had advanced in value rather than declined
since the fraudulent obligations had been ignored.
The invariable reply was these quotations were
not understood; they did not give the market
price of the bonds, but the figures aj which own
ers held them, and there were really no bidders.
Georgia bonds might be quoted at 88 and 91), but
no one would touch them at anything like those
prices, if, indeed, they could be negotiated at all.
Very well. We will uow give these well posted
writers something else to explain. Three cDys
since, according to the money article of a New
York daily, 88 cents were bid for new Georgia bonds
—BB cent* were bid, not asked. Will they explain
this for us? Is this a mere nominal question,
| which cannot bjw taken as any indication ot the
value of State securities ? or does it show that the
credit of Georgia ha 6 not been so badly damaged
as the ring alleges ?
The people of Georgia are watching the finan
cial progress of their common treasury with the
deepest interest. Our information from Atlanta
is that there is s reasonable prospect of the au
thorities being able to dispose of new bonds suffi
cient to meet the liabilites of this fiscal year, with
out making any unusual sacrifice. Should they
do this the bond compromisers will be frustrated,
now and forever.
Wht Amadeus Abdicated. —Information ou
this and other subjects, true or false, is conveyed
in a London dispatch to the New York Herald ot
the 24th:
In the complications that induced Amadeus to
abdicate, thb possible declaration of the Spanish
republic was never for a moment contemplated.
It was a complete surprise; a veritable coup d'etat.
Amadeus would not have abdicated had he
deemed this consequence ot his act any degree
probable, Inasmuch as the two latin nations,
France and Spain, having each a republican gov
ernment, would have enormous infiuence on the
third Latin nation, thus directly endangering his
father’s throne. Amadeus abdicated in the ex
pectation that he would be re-called by the army,
whose side he has taken against the ministry. For
this he remained in Portugal. The artillery offi
cers are all monarchists, ail members of old fami
lies. He believed that as he cast away the throne
rather than act with the ministry who were de
termined to humiliate the army, they would pro
nounce in his tavor, and he would return at their
bead, his hands being then free from constitution
al trammels. But he w T as completely checkmated
by the turn of events. Apparently it was seme
suspicion of this that induced many members of
the Cortes, not Republicans, to vote with the Re
publican party in order to overreach the royal
mauceuver. Amadeus, however, seems not to
have relinquished his hope for recall.
Shots at thb Credit Mobilier Fellows.—
The Courier-Journal turns loose its paragraphic
batteries at these innocents after this fashion ;
According to the Poland committee, it was a
grave crime in Oakes Ames to buy up Scofield,
Garfield, Bingham and some others with Credit
Mobilier stock, but Scofield, Garfield, Bingham
and some others didn’t mean any harm by selling
themselves to Oakes Ames for Credit Mobilier
stock. Hang a rule that won’t work both ways.
Or hang Oakes Ames and the rest ot them, we
don’t care which.
If we agree to pay Spain $50,000,000 for Cuba,
asks an exchange, where and how would we get
the money? About the surest and easiest way to
get it would be to give the Credit Mobilier and
its Congressional friends half a chance to steal it.
The Cincinnati Commercial says of the Credit
! Mobilier rascals that “ there is not one ot them
j that did not know when he touched the stock
j that it was dirty.” Whether they knew it or not,
! they must at lea*t have known that it would be
dirty if they did touch it.
A bill has been introduced in the Tennessee
j Legislature to secure sherifls their fees. Ames
| and Pattersou and Col.ax and a number of others
are talking ot introducing a bill in Congress to
abolish sheriffs altogether.
Thb Herald informs the public that at the last
session of the Georgia Legislature a bill incorpo
rating the “Mining, Manufacturing and Immi
gration Company,” which passed both branches o
the General Assembly, failed to meet the Govern
or’s approval. A bill of similar character, viz:
A bill to incorporate the “ Southern Land and
Immigration Company,” introduced into the
Legislature at the instance of Hon. Herschel V.
Johnson and Major H. W. King, passed both
Houses, and was signed by his Excellency. There
should be no mistake by the public in reference to
this matter.
The Herald Washington correspondent of the
23d says there are all sorts of rumors afloat in the
Capitol to-day about some coming exposes of a
stupendous nature. The most startling one prom
ised is in relation to the Pacific Mail subsidy. It
is said that some more Christian statesmen in
Congress will be sacrificed when that matter is
folly opened up.
An attack of toothache delayed a Green Bay
wedding three hours. The groom and the clergy
man went rabbit hunting while the bride went
jumping around and yelling “Oh, my jaw !”

Tlie Great Canal Before Coagre**.
The Atlantic and Great Western Canal-Report
of the Congressional Committee :
it is proposed to conntct by canal and slack
water navigation—the Coosa, Etowah and Occnul
gee river*, the Tennessee liver, at Guiiitrsviiie,
Alabama, with the Atlantic Oiean, at Savannah,
Georgia.
Commencing at Guntersville, the most southern
point reached by the Tennessee river, thence to
Coosa, thirty miles distant, which it enters aud
follows to Rojne, Georgia, up to which point the
000-a river i- navigable for large steamboats at
all seasons of the year.
From Rome the canal follows the Etowah river
to its nearest point ofcontact with the Ocmulgee,
and thence down the latter stream to navigable
water and the Atlan’ic Ocean.
By this means the entire navigable waters of the
States of Alabama, East Mississippi and West
Florida will be connected with the vast inland
sea comprised in the term “ Mississippi river and
tributaries,” also the navigable gys't-m of ths
States of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida aud
part of North Carolina, embracing about 5,000
miles of water easily navigated by vessels of light
draught, tued upon canals. These vessels would
penetrate the streams and estuaries above referred
to, into almost every portion ot these six States—
States that produce the major poxtion ot the cot
ton raised upon this continent.
The census ot 1870 shows, that Georgia, South
Carolina, Alabama and Florida—the States which
would be directly effected by the construction ot
this canal—had an aggregate popu’ation of 3 074,-
455.
These States produce 57,215,600 bushels of grain.
Their average consumption, according to data
furnished by the Bureau of Statistics, is 104,521,-
470 bushels. This leaves a deficit of 47,305,770
basheD to be supplied by other States. As the
larger portion of this grain is needed along the
sea board, in what is known as the cotton belt,we
may assume the distance from St. J ouis to Sa
vannah as the average distance this grain is moved.
This would make the cost ot transportation of
each ton #l4 49, at cents per ton per mile
The Engineer’s report gives the cost by the
{iroposed canal, at 88 per ton for the same dis
tance, that is from St. Louis to Savannah. This is
a saving o’ #9 52 upon eieh ton, and an aggregate
saving of #15,647, 024 72 upon one article in a sin
gle year, the development of a latent value of
uearly fourteen millions to be developed between
the producer aud the consumer.
These Slates produce 2,682 hhds. of sugar, 172,-
232,812 lbs. ol rice, and 1.167,705 bales of cotton.
The number of bales equals nearly half the cotton
product ot the United States.
The great need of this section is cheap food ;
its soil and climate is not adapted to the produc
tion of giain.aud the high price of breadstufis has
retarded its developemen*. The opening oi the
proposed canal will supply this need.
The census gives the average price of corn in
these States at 97 cents per bushei, and wheat at
#1 91. in many counties, and especially in the
cotton belt, corn is seldom less thin Si 50 per
bushel, and often more than #2 00 per bushel.
The value of the cotton crop of these States ex
ceeds #144,000,000.
The scarcity of food and the excessive prices
demanded, forces more than five millions of acres
of these States in’o grain. This takes away from
the production of cotton about one-half the labor
and capital oi the South. These acres planted in
cotton would add 2,500,000 bales to a foreign ex
port, and increase the value of that export about
#200,000,000 annually, which would cause the
wealth of the world to flow toward us instead of
away from us as it has been doing in times past.
When we reflect that the West produces a vast
surplus of food—which now is worthless because
it has no market —we are led to the conclusion,
that cheap transportation is the great aud pressing
need, not only of the South and West, but ot the
whole country.
The uniting of these two systems of navigation,
tvhieh may be aptly termed “ inlard seas,” and
upon whose, borders products so widely different
in character grow, is of such evident importance
to the prosperity of ;he whole country that it re
quires ro discussion. Tuat it will double the
product of cotton *e btli ve ; that it wili open a
home market to the grain and food producing
sections, r. quirts no demostratioa ; and that the
surplus breadstufis of the country may be export
id a 1 : a protit, and the exportation of cotton largely
increased is susceptible ot the clearest proof.
The Engineer officer in charge of the survey of
this canal, in his report, says :
“it may be said for it that, whiie it enjoys every
advantage possessed by the others, it is superior
to them all in this, that it will never be obstructed
by ice; will never be rendered impassable by
drought,; does not descend sufficiently low into
the heated region to have its cargoes injured by
heat or moisture; will require no rehandling of
cargo between the points of shipment and dis
charge ; and will cost but little more than the
Erie Canal enlarged, while its capacity will be
greater, and no doubt it will, like the Erie Canal,
pay for the original outlay, interest, expenses of
repair, and service, with a large balance to its
credit, in tbe course of thirty years.”
Since 1860, the North has constantly ad actively
progressed. Its harbors have been improved, its
rivers cleaned out; ship canals have been con
structed and liberal appropriations, grants and
subsidies lor internal improvements have been
demanded and obtained. On the other hand,
Southern been tilled up, its rivers
are “ a waste of wfljre.” All it has to-day # is a
few impoverishedTaiiroads, badly managed, and
controlled in the interest of capital, whose exor
bitant rates discourage and harass productive in
dustry and retard the development oi a rich and
fertile section.
Iu the construction of this work the Company
asks no laud giant, subsidy or appropriation of
money. It proposes to build this canal with its
own means, asking only that the Government will
assure the holders of the Company’s bonds, that
the interest they are entitled to, will be paid by
the Company as it matures; and to save the
United States harmless iu its undertaking, the
entire work is mortgaged to the Government in-'
eluding its property, rents, tells aud revenues of
every description.
The Company does not ask the indorsement of
the principal ot the bonds, hat S3 fast as it com
pletes ten miles of its canal, it asks that the in
terest be guaranteed ou its bonds to the extent of
#BO,OOO per mile.
The work will remain forever a free public high
way to all who desire to use it, upon the payment
of such toll as will be just and. equitable, aud for
all government uses it will be toll iree.
