Tub Comptroller of tbe currency has issued k certificate authorizing tbe City National Bank of Griffin to commence business. - Au.bn O. Jonbs, the ralesing book keeper of tbe Southern Bank ©f Georgia, Is a defaulter to tbe amount of $30,000. Students are still flocking into the Dahlonega College. It numbers now one hundred and eighty five. Tub Seaport Appeal boasts of the rapid prog-es* making in the erection of two new churches in Brunswick, in such a maimer that a casual reader would think they were much needed. Fuss* Victory, aged fifteen years, married Henrietta Hair, aged thirteen years, in Columbus, on the 27th ult. And the mothers knew their children were out. Bomb of.the “oldest inhabitants” of Columbus report the present month the coldest March since IS.-J 4, when the thermometer stood at zero, and ponds live feet deep were frox-n hard euough to hear the weight of loaded wagons. A saw back has recently been established in Wilkes county under the corporate name of “ Tbo Meichnits’ and Planters’ Bank of Washington, Georgia.” William W. Simpson, lately of Sparta, Ga., is the President; and A. Wellborn Hill, of Wilkes county, Cashier. The capital stock is 1100,(0(). It is a Bark of loan and deposit only. Ihk Camilla Enterprise says it has the moat encouraging news from every section in reference to the farming prosperity. There hasaheady been a large quantity of corn planted, and still the work goes on. As taimers are using more fertilizers on corn than usual, and we predict better times, another year in tbe way of home supplies. Thb Western and Atlantic Railroad Company have now nearly seventy effective engines, twenty five or thirty in tirst-class work'ng order. They have , urcliased about twenty new engines, btv tweeu three and lour hundred local and Green" line cars. The Company has expended in im provements over 1500,000. A “Semi-Centennial Jubilee Convention of the Diocese of Georgia” will be held at Savannah on the 2Ut of May. Bishop Wm. Bacon Stovers, of Penney 1 v..nia, will deliver a discourse ou the early history of the Episcopal Church of Georgia, and Bishop Beckwith will preach tbe convention ser mon. This Savannah News iuforms ua that Mr. An drew Sloan, the Republican contestant for Col. Morgan Kuwls’ seat iu Congress, has concluded taking leititnony in his case. The New* under stands that he has failed to prove fraud in any of the returns, though some trifling irregularities, which Inevitably atteud elections, have been established, not only against his opponent, but agslust hitn. Col. Kawla’ name has been regular ly enrolled as a member of the next Congress. From the Sun we learn that Judge Purmedus Reynolds, of Covington, is in a very critical condi tion. He has been confined to his room for two month* with dropsy of the chest, and a dispatch received last evening by Col. R. F. Maddox of this city, states that ha is gradually growing worse snd is not expected to survive much longer. Judge Reynolds is well known in Georgia a* one of her beat and most intelligent citizens, and the State cau ill atiord at this time to lose the coun sels of cue so worthy. Tua Baltimore Gazette has some kind words to say tor Georgia, and thinks we are a sensible peo ple in some respects. For example: Georgia has lepesied all usury laws. It bas done more than this. It is determined to be a great manufactur ing State. And there is uo reason wbv it should not be. Its water power is excellent. Trade has revived in Savannah more than at any other city in the South except New Oileans. The State Gov ernmeul is gradually becoming more stable, snd the labor disorganization is adjusting itself. So Georgia ha* an idea that the State is to he in the future the manuiacturing centre of the South, and to tucilitate this the Legislature has exempted from taxation for ten vests all capital invested in cotton and woolen mills, iron iurnaces and iron manufacture*. There has been much •peculation relative to the Cabinet founded on the report that recently the members of it bare formerly teudered their res ignitions, thus necessitating uew nominations to the Senate. A dispatch of the s:h, evidently sent out by authority, says the question was settled last fall, soon after the re-election of President Grant. At a Cabinet meeting all the members being present, they Informed him they wishing to do nothing whatever to embarrass him in bis admin istration they would tender resignations to taka effect on the 4th of March ensuing. The President expressed his thanks for their friendly feelings and Informed them that be bad no desire for any to withdraw, but preferred they should all remain, as nothing rad since occurred to change the position ot affairs. The only immediate change will be in the Secretary ot the Treasury, should the present incumbent be elected to the SeDate of the United States. The opinion is that the President need not renominate the members, for confirmation by the Senate is strengthened by the lac’ that all of them were at their respective departments to day attending to their official duties, and it t taid by gentlemen iu executive positions, that no such nominations will be made.

A correspondent of the Ban, writing from Craw fordsvilie on the 28‘.h, gives a brief mention of a reunion between Mr. Stephens and a large body of hi* friends, on the previous evening. About ?>£ o’clock a large concourse of people had gath ered in front of “Liberty Ilsil” for the pnrpose of serenading Mr. Stephens. The band discounted sweet music, and after playing a few spirited and lively airs, in response to loud and repeated calls, the “Great Commoner” appeared and made one of the happiest speeches your correspondent ever had the pleasure of hearing. Bonfires were kin dled in various parts of the spacious yard ; and it assuredly presented a unique and picturesque scene. Shout after shout rent the air and made the welkin ring, as they applauded the “ words of roberr.ess and truth,” uttered by the sage of Lib erty Mali. Mr. Stephens’ hits—his “sales plauti nos”—were incomparable. After holding the crowd 6pell-bound for nearly an hour, Mr. Steph ens said he would trespass no longer on their time, but in conclusion would remark, be had been charged with being a “ Bourbon.” In re gard to that he had nothing say at present, <xcept that if tbe crowd would just step inside they would find ns good old Kentucky “ Bourbon” as ever refreshed the inner man, and as to how they might take it, that was entirely a matter of taste with them; but as for himself be never took it, except medicinally, and then he took it “Straight.” Acting upon this invitation thus extended, the crowd followed, filling every nook and cranny of the hail, passage, porticoes, parlor atd (lining room, where, in response to a toast and most felicitous speech from Mr. Thurman, of the Greensboro Herald, Mr. Stephens again lul minated. There was such a jam and squeeze your correspondent couldn’t get within hearing dis tance, but old “Liberty Hall” to its centre ebook, as yell after yell, and sbout after shout went up from the enthusiastic listeners By dint of exer tion we elbowed and “camored”our way through the densely packed crowd, and it seerne 1 as if in truth and in fact Mr. Stephens “ would bring down the house,” as in thrilling and fervent lan guage he expressed his earnest hopes of grand triumph—a regeneration aud renaissance on Jefler somou principles in 1876—the centennial celebra tion of the American republic. Supremo Court Decisions. The Supreme Court of Georgia has decided that it ia not sufficient to make a mortgage lien good against a homestead and exemption under the Act of 1868, that it was given in lieu of another mort gage on the property, unless it further appear that the first mortgage or lien was a lien superior to the right oi homestead. This decision was de livered by Justice McKay on the 4th. On the same day Chief Justice Warner delivered tbe opinion of the Court iu a case carried np from Stewart county which will attract attention. We quote from the official report: The plaintiff held an execution against the de fendant, Lucy J. Bonneli, for the rent of a house and lot. The defendant was a widow who had a homestead *et apart tor the benefit of herself and her minor children on a tract of land with which the house and lot rented by her from the plaintiff in fl fa, had no connection. The widow rented her homestead plantation from Ward tbe gar uishce, and the question iu tbe case is whether the rent due her for the use of her homestead from her tenant is subject to the payment of the plain tiff’s debt lor the rent of a house and lot wholly disconnected with her homestead? The Act of 1869 declares that tbe produce, rents or profits of a homestead shall be exempt from levy and sale, except as provided in the Constitution, and ex eep‘ for stock, provisions and other articles used iu making tbe crop, necessaries for the family, medical services and tuition for education. The rant of a house and lot wholly disconnected with the homestead is not one of the exemptions men tioned in the Act. but it is said it ia included in tbe words, “ necessaries for the family.” But we think the fair interpretation of these words, when taken in connection with the other word* of the Act, and the obvious intention of that Act, is to confine them to such necessaries for the family aa may have been furnished in msking the crop on the homestead; in other words, the necessaries for the family must have been furnished them in connection with the enjoyment of the homestead property, such as was necessary for the family in the cultivation of tha crops raised thereon, and for tbe support of the family whilst doing so to enable them to enjoy the benefit thereof. A con tract for the re t cf a bouse and lot, haring no connection with the homestead property whatever, is not, in our judgment, within the purview of the Act, or In accordance with the true intent and meaning theieof, the more especially as it does not appear that it was necessaries for the family. Let the judgment of the Court below be af fir med. The New Lien Law. An Act to regulate the Law of Liens iu the State of Georgia: Section 6 Be it fr.rther enacted. That factors, merchants, landlords, dealers in fertilizers, and all other persons furnishing supplies, money, farming utensils or other articles of necessity to make crops, and also, all persons furnishing cloth ing and medicines, supplies or provisions for the support of families, or medical service, tuiticD or sclit’ol books, shaij have the same right to secure themselves from the crop of the year in which said thiugs are done or furnished, and is now given by law, under the act of 1865-66, to factors, wiib the following conditions : All of the liehs provided for in this section, must be created by special con fract in writing, and every person giving a lien under this section, having previously given a lien or liens under it, or any other lien, shall, when given anew lien under this section, on the same property to another person, Inform such person, if interrogated as to the facts, of the amount of such lieu or liens, aud to whom given ; and such person giving false information as to the facts aforesaid, shall be guilty of the same offense as that of persons fraudulently making a secoud deed, uuder Section 4511 of the Code and pun ished as herein prescribed : and the lien* created uuder this section are hereby declared to be upe>. rior in rack to other liens, rxcept liens for taxes, the general and special liens of laborers, and the special lieus to landlords, to which they shall lie inferior, and shall, as between themselves and other liens not herein excepted, rank according to date, and shall only exist as litns on the year in which they were made. Approved, February 24th, 1873. Thebe is circulated in Europe, everywhere, as pamphlet in which every device is employed to pievect the assertion el (migrants of preference for homes in the South. There is a picture of a bright, pretty cottage on one page, surrounded with all appliances of comfort and taste, that dis tinguishes a New Englandei's home; on the op posite page is a picture of a Southern farmhouse and negro’s shanty. Fences are overthrown— there are no flowers, save those that smile simply because the sun shines so brilliantly and rains fall eo softly, and the seasons are so kindly aud full of lile-giving force. Weeds and gross overrun tbs g cunda about the wrecked, uncared-for Soutbe.n homestead, and the abiding place of the laborers is more repulsive than a pig-stye. It might be well, says the Memphis Appeal, to have a few Southern publications distributed over Europe, aud yet there are no organiied agencies for this purpose in the South, aud can be no perfect reme dy for evils of gross misrepresentation of which we complain.

Inauguration day was bitter cold, and doubtless contributed to render the pageant less imposing than was expected. One epecial to the Constitu tion eays the decorations were poor, and the pro session not up to expectation. It was exceeding ly tame.- The inaugural address is an extraordi nary document, snd is understood to have been “ Grant’s own.” THB INAUGURAL. Under Providence I have been called a second time to act as the Executive over this great na tion. It has been my endeavor in the past to main tain ail the laws, and so far as lay in my power to act for the best interests of the whole people. My best efforts will be given in the same direc tion in the future aided, I trust, by my four years experience iu the office. When my first tetta of office of Chief Executive began, the country had not recovered from the cSects of a great internal revolution, and three of the former States of the Union had not been restored to their federal rela tions. It seemed to me wise that no new questions should be raised so long as that condition of si fairs existed ; therefore the past four years, so far as I could control events, have been consumed in the fcflort to restore harmony, public credit, com merce, and ail the arts of peace and progress. It is my firm conviction that the civilized world is tending towards Republicanism or government by the people, through their chosen representa tives, and that our own great republic is destined to le the guiding star to all others. Under our republic we have an army less than that of any European power of any standing, and an army leas than that of either of at lea-t five of them. There couid be no extension of territory on this conti nent, which would call for aa increase of this lorce, but rather might such extension enable us to diminish it. The theory of government changes with the general progress. Now that the tele graph is made available tor communicating thoughts, together with rapid transit by steam, all parts of a continent are made contiguous for all purposes of government, and communication between the extreme limits of the country made easier than it was throughout the old thirteen States at the beginning of our national existence. The (fleets of the late civil struggle have been to tree the slave and make him a citizen. Yet he is not possessed oi the civil rights which citizen ship should convey with it. This is wrong, and should be corrected. To this correction I stand committed, so lar as Executive influence can avail. Social equality is not a subject to be legis lated upon, i or shall I ask that anything be done to aJvauce the social status ot the colored mau except to give him a lair chance to develop what is good in him ; give him access to the schools, snd when he travels let him feel assured that his conduct will regulate the treatment and fare he will receive. Ihe States lately at war with the general gov ernment are now happily rehabilitated, and no ex ecutive control is exercised in any one of them that would not be exercised iu any other State under like circnmstances. In the first year of ihe present administration the proposition for the admission of San Domingo as a Territory of the United Btates was not a question ot my seeking, but was a proposition from the people of San Domingo, and which I en tertained. I believe now, as I did then, that it was for the best interests of this country for the people of San Domingo, and ail concerned, that the propo sition should be received favorably. It was, how ever, rejected constitutionally, and, therefore, the subject was never brought up again by me. In future, while I hold my present office, the subject of acquisition of territory must have the support of the people before I will recommend any prop osition. I say here, however, that I do not share in the apprehension held by many as to the dan ger of governments becoming weakened and de stroyed by reason of their extension of territory. Commerce, education and rapid transit of thought and matter by telegraph and steam., have changed all this ; rather do I believe that our ereat Maker is preparing the world in his own good time to become one nation, speaking one language, and when armies and navies will be no longer required. My efforts iu the future will be directed to the restoration of good feeling between the different sections of our common country; to the restora tion of our currency to a fixed value as compared with the world’s standard of values—gold—and if possible to a per with it; to the construction of cheap routes ot transit throughout the land, that the products of all sections may find a market and leave a living remuneration to the producer ; to the maintaiuance of friendly relations with all our neighbors and with distant nations ; to the re establishment of our commerce and chare in the carrying of trade upon the ocean ; to the encour agement of such manufacturing industries as can be economically pursued in this country, to the end that the export of home products and indus. tries may pay for our imports as the only method of returning to and permanently maintaining a specie basis ; to the elevation of Isbor, and by a humane course to bring the Hboriginees of the country under thh benign influences ot education and civilization. It is either this or war of exter. miuation. Wars of extermination when engaged in by a people pursuing commerce aud all indus trial pursuits are expensive, even against the weakest people, and are demoralizing and w icked. Our superiority of strength and advantage of civ ilixition should make us lenient towards the In dians. The wrongs inflicted upon him should be taken Into account and the balance placed to his credit The moral view of the question should be considered, and the question asked: Cannot the Indian be made an useful and productive member of society by proper Uacbitg and treatment, if the effort is made in good faith! We will stand better before the civilized nations of the earth, and in our own consciences for having rtade it. AH these things are not to be accomplished by one Individual, but they will receive my support and such recommendations to Congress as will, in my judgmen’, best serve to carry them into'effect. 1 beg your support and encouragement. It baa been and is my earnest desire to correct abuses that have grown up in the civil service of the country. To secure this reformation rules regulating methods of appointment and promotion were established, and have been tried. My efloris 1 for such reformation shall be continued; to the ! best of my judgment the spirit of the rules I adop'ed will be maintained. I acknowledge before this assemblage, repre senting as it d.*s every section of oar country, the obligation I -m under to my conutrymen for the great Honor they have conferred on me by re turning me to the highest offlse within their gift snd the further obligation pressing me to render to them the best service* within my powtr. This I promise, looking forward with the greatest anx iety to the day when 1 shall be relieved from the responsibilities that at times are almost over whelming and from which I have scarcely had a respite sioce the eventful tiring upon Fort Sum ter in April, ISdl, to the present day. My service* were then tendered and accepted under the first call for troops growing out of that event. I did cot ask for place or position, and was entirely without influence or the acquaintance of persons of influence; but was resolved to perform my P-rt in a struggle thnatening the very exfstecce of the nation I performed a conacicntiou* duty without asking promotion or command and with out a revengeful feeling toward any section or individual, notwithstanding throughout the war and from my candidacy lor my present office in 1868 to the close oi the last Presidential campaign, 1 have been the subject of abuee and slander scarcely ever equalled in political history, which to-day 1 feel that I can aflord to disregard, in view of your verdict, which I gtatelnlly accept as ay vindication. “In G-od w© Trust.” The Abdication in Spain. Behind the Beenes at Madrid—Secret History of Amadens’ Abdication—A Vow Fulfilled— Wom an’s Influence —Singular Stories Concerning Victor Emanuel, Prince Humbert, and Ex-King Amadeus. A dispatch from London to the New York World relates an extraordinary statement, con cerning the abdication of the King of Spain, which probably gives tbe motive of the action truly. It came from high authority, says the cor respondent, and is to this effect t The Queen, as every one will remember, was the Princess Mary, the daughter of Prince Charles Emanuel dal Pozzo delia Cisterna; she U only twenty five yeara of age; 6he is a very devout Catholic, and she is the mother of three children, tbe youngest of whom, a prince, wag born g few days ago. Immediately before the birth of this child, the young Queen waa in great distress of mind, and in very alarming physical pain ; and ia her agony of mind and body sbe made a \o „ to the Blessed Virgin that if, through the mercy of God, she was brought eafely through the peril* that then environed her, she would beg her hus band on her knees to resign the throne ot Spain and to hasten back to Italy. Her husband was present when—perhaps ia delirium—she made this vow, and he uttered no remonstrance against it. There is no doubt that he has been growing more and more weary of Spain for eeveral months, and the distress and anguish of his young wife, to whom he is tenderly attached, probably • trengthed his desire to get rid of his thankless task. Events which happened after the birth of the child—who, in the opinion of its mother, was given her only as a hostage for the performance of her vow—doubtless removed ail hesitation which be might have still felt. He and his wife —despite ail his noble qualities anti all her grace and beauty—had never been able to win ever to their side the proud nobles of Bpain. Just as in Rome the nobility of the highest rank with one or two exceptions 6\de with the Pope, and refuse to attend the Court of Victor Emanuel or to give any countenance to his Government, so in Madrid the grandees held aloof from “the foreign adventurer,” as they called King Amadeo, while their wives could not be induced to appear in the train of his wife. This alarmed and irritated both cf them—not without reason ; but they continued to hope that in time the nobility could be won over to their side. The King made a last effort to do this on the occasion of the christening of the new-born child. He asked the Duchess de ia Torre, the wife of Borrano, to present the royal infant at the baptis mal ceremony. She refused with scorn, and the poor baby wculd have probablv had to suffer the ignominy of being “pseseuted” by a lady of low rank had not the widow of Marshall Prim, herself a duchess, consented to leave her morning retire ment and perform the function. I am told there was a terrible scene in the palace that day, and it was then that, the King finally yielded to the prayers and tears of his wife, and made to her the promise of abdication which, as you know, he fulfilled on the 11th of last month. “ It is a great honor,” said the King in his mes sage to the Cortes announcing his abdication, “ to preside over the destinies of a country, however distntbed. I bad resolved to keep my oath'and respect the Constitution, for I believed that my loyalty to Spain would compensate for whatever errors might be caused by my youth and inexpe rience. But my good wishes have deceived me, for Spain lives in the midst of perpetual contest. If my enemies had been foreigners, I would not abandon the task, but they are Spaniards. I wish neither to be the King of a party nor to sctille gally; but believing all my acts to bo sterile, I renounce the crown for myself, my sons and heirs.” These are plain, sad and bold words; but the Cortes listened to them with concealed joy, and the abdication was unanimously accepted. There aru wheels within wheels—and had tbe Cortes known all that was within the KiDg’s mind they probably would have listened to his message with emotions of a very mixed character. For I have as yet told only oue half of my story. The King has abdicated, it is true, to please his wife; but if my informants are correct he did this all the more willingly because he believes that by giVing up the insecure throne of Spain he makes a stride towards the throne of Italy. Victor Emanuel’s health is extremely precari ous, and his death at any moment would surprise no one who know him; the Crown Prince Hum bert is the victim of a disease which makes his life a burden and lrom which death may soon re lieve him; and his sou—the four'year old Prince of Naples—is in such a condition that his life can be protected only by something like a miracle. These three precarious lives are all that stand be tween Amadeo and the Italian crown; and even should Victor Emanuel and Humbert die before baby Prince of Naples expires, Amadeo would be in fact a sovereignty. j The personal relations between Victor Eman , uel and Humbert are of the most unhappy charac | ter - The latter—whose vices far outnumber his virtues—has cherished a bitter hatred for his fath er ever since the King, on what he thought was his death bed, married the woman whom he had so long lived in adultery and by whom he haa several children. Humbert was not shocked by j l he sins of his father—he is so fond of such sins I himself—but he was disgusted beyond measure by i his repentance and his reparation; and the other : day, when the KiDg announced his wish to pub licly solemnize the marriage contracted iu private w th this woman, and to elevate her to the throne, i Humbert broke out into a fearful storm of rage, and not only publicly declared that in snch an event he would leave Italy, but privately sent word to his father that if he did this thing he would head a revolution to depose him. Victor Emanuel, always Wlak, yielded for the moment | t 0 these threats, and nothing has beeH said about [ lb e marriage. But, I am told, that what he now desires is that Humbert should die; that he then should cause his marriage to be publicly solem ntzed and his “countess” called queen for a day; that he then should abdicate in favor of Amadeo as regent or as king. So that to the persuasions of the wife of the latter were added the secret ad vice and prayer of the father to quit Spain and to come back to Italy. Victor Emanuel greatly dreads death so long as he is at enmity with the Pope. He would withdraw his government from Rome to-morrow, and restore St. Peter’s patri mony to Pius IX., if his Cabinet and Parliament would allow him to do it. Amadeo is a better Catholic than either his father or his brother, and vague dreams float through the brain of the King of a reconciliation effected between Italy and the Papal Bee with Amadeo on the throne. This all sounds like a romance, you will say ; but I have reason—and the best of reason—to believe that it ia all true. Having given the Carlists the chance to submit peaceably to the authority of the Republic and the Carlists having refused to accept that chance, the Bpanish Government is now taking measures for crushing the movement by force of arms. As the Carlisle were frankly told that they would be whipped if they did not surrender, the fact of tcelr holding out implies a belief on their part that they cannot be whipped. It ia to be hoped that this belief is illfoandad. Lizzrs Rogers, of Williamjport, Pa., U de clared to be the best book-keeper in the employ of the United States.
