We never could see the virtue of the boast which is so often made by the papers and magazines, that so large a portion of their pages is orig inal. Such originality is often main- Blitted at the expense of the worth. The best exchanges of our acquain. tance.are by no means those which have the greatest amount of orignal matter. There is more of editorial tact and talent required to mal.« proper ami practical selections, than is put in requestiou by the produc tion of the vaunting original papers who seem to require originality as the only requisite for a good periodi cal. A good newsjraper is always dependent upon other resources than its own. And the boast of a periodi cal that it is entirely original, is too often like the boast of a library if it should claim to have the productions of only one author. Collecting. Collecting money just now is an up hill busiiicss. An exchange Ims the following on the subject: “ Last week a man stepped lip to us and said lie would pay every cent lie owed us if he lived until Saturday night. We presume the man died. Another said lie would pay us in a day or two as sure as We were born. Querry— did the mau lie or were we never born ? Another said lie would settle ns sure as shooting. We are led to the conclusion that shooting is imcvituin. Another said he ho|>cd he might go the devil if lie did not pay us in three days. Haven’t seen him since, suppose he’s gone, but we trust he lias not hoped in vain.— Quite a number said they would see us to-morrow. These men have been stricken blind, or else to-morrow has not come. One man told us six mouths ago that he would pay us as soon as lie got some money. The man would not lie, so of course, he has not got a cent.” Wn.vT CreKlky SaVw Attof* the Cawpkt-Bauokus.—One Major Bam Dickinson, (colored,l of (.'-harleston, lias Jttsl returned from A Northern tour, in the course of which time lie “interviewed" Horace Greeley on the subject of Southern disturbances. The result is thus told by the Charleston Courier: “He said that Horace Greeley told him, that there never would be peace in the South until the “ low white men who had come down here since the war were expelled. Sam says that he will use his best exertions in that direction, and will soon kindle a political fire in this State, which will never be quenched until it lias consumed all of the evils which aillict it, in the form of * carpet-baggers, ex-stable-keejiorH, and bar-tenders from the North.’ ’’ had delivered his charge, the jury went out aud in a short time re turned with a verdict of “ guilty and “ three yc»rs in the penitentiary." This announcement rather startled the defendant, who had presumed 100 much upon the partiality of his race, by whom he expected to be set free. While on his way to Nashville he swore shat if he lived to be set at lib erty he would never allow “any d—d negroes to try him again.” Another offender, who had been persuaded by his colored brethren to have his case also disposed of by a negro jury, on hearing of the other's fate sud denly changed bu /bind in that re spect, and emphatically remarked that he preferred to be tried by white Ibbtl. George D. Prentiee is buried in Cave Hill Cemetery near Louisville, a small Grecian canopy resting on four columns above his grave, with an urn in the center and on the top a ! lyre with a broken string. He lies beside his son, Courtiand Prentice, who was killed near Augusta, Ken tucky, during the war while fighting on the Confederate side. We are told that “inLondon a child is bora every five minutes." j How greatful our children should be phat their lot is not cast in England. | We don’t see how a child that is born ' every five minutes gets time to play marbles, learn its A B C’s, throw stones, or pursue any other juvenile study. Those Britishers do the 1 queerest custom*— don’t they f Wisconsin this year is favored as being the great pigeon-roost They are in millions, shadowing the sun for hours in their multitudinous flight Quite a lively business is doing in the locality in whicli they roost Hun ters are trapping them by hundreds of thousands, coopers arc making barrels by the thousand, and men, women, and children are eugaged in packing them in the barrels for ship ment to the Eastern cities. From ten to thirty thousand pigeons are thus forwarded daily to Milwaukic Chicago, St Louis, Cincinnati, Phi la. delphia, New York and Boston. The South in Congress. —The Chicago Tribane makes an interest ing estimate of the gain in Congress ional representation which must ac crue to the Southern States under the new census. By the emancipation of tlie slave population two-fifths of that aggregate, or say 1,080,000, have been added to the representative ba sis of these States. In 1860, out of 253 Representatives, the slavehold ing States had 84, or one less than one third, they will now, out of 280 members, be entitled, under the cen sus of 1870, to 104, or ten more than ouc-third of the whole House. Man Accldunittll) Drowned. Through Capt. Club, we learn of the accidental drowning of Joe Davim of Darien, Ga., which oceured on Tuesday last, in the Altamalm river, by falling from aboard the steam-tug Sunder. Although every effort was made to reseue the man, lie sank to rise no more, before assistance could reach him. llis body has not yet been recovered. He was a young man of line personal appearance nbinit 31 years of age, and a native of Tuscaloosa, Ala., where his mother now resides.— Hrunstvick Appeal. Uetlas tb Missionary. —RcV. J. B.

The Augusta Chronicle says: Judge llarrell has recently rendered a decision on the District Court ques tion, in which he takes the ground that the Judges and Attorneys have been legally appointed, 110 granted a mamlatnu s against the Ordinary of one of the counties in his circuit, com pelling him to pay the salary of the District Attorney.’ Mrs. Lincoln and ‘Tad.’ —The widow of President Lincoln, who ar r.vcd at New York from Europe on Wednesday with her son Thaddeus, as tated heretofore, who has been abroad about two and a half years. The New York papers say she is still clad in mourning, but looks well, aud that ‘Tad’ is now a handsome lad of six* Icon, and upward of five feet high.— He was at school for eighteen months in Frankfort, Germany, and for three months at London. In a day or two Mrs. Lincoln will go to Chicago with her son, who will finish his education in this country. Those highly virtuous individuals who send money to the New York “Sawdust” swindlers in the hope of receiving a return of counterfeit otoiu ey are Jikfily to come to grief. Their letters are to lie retained and opened at the New York postoffice, and the name of the writer forwarded to the postmaster where written, with in structions to post it conspicuously in the office with a statement of the facts. The idea is a good one, and if carried out some rich developments may be exjicctcd. The man wfo> is mean enough to buy counterfeit mon ey with the intention of passing it upon unsuspecting neighbors, is mean eqougn to steal his neighbors’ sheep if he thought he would not get found out, and it is right that the public should be informed of his intention It is said that the Fa. Central Raill road Cos. has subscribed nine millions to the Atlanta and Richmond Rail road. A handsome marble column has been placed over the grave of Hon’ R. W. Flournoy, la SondersviUe. War In France. Outside Paris, May 24, 1, p. m.— A terrible explosion has just occurred in the centre of Paris. It is consid ered probable that the Hotel de Ville has been blown up by the insurgents. Crowds of repulsive looking men, destitute of uniforms, and in rags, have been taken prisoners. Versailles, May, 24 r. m.— The Tuilleries is entirely bu-ned down. It is hoped the galleries of Lonoic will be saved. • Later.— Great fires are raging in Paris in all directions. St. Denis, May, 24, r. m —This has been the most terrific day of nil for Paris. The city is burning in many places, aud the destruction of a great part of the' central and east ern district between Place Vcndomc' and Belleville. The troops are mow ed down by fire from windows, bar ricades and mitrailleuses, but they steadily gain grown. The slaughter is awful. New York, May 24.— A world special, dated St. Dennis, 24tli, says after a brief lull yesterday the fighting recommenced aud continued all night. The Ycrsailsist surrounded the Tuille ries, Lonore, and Place Vcndomc. Despcrat fig Ring followed. Every incii of ground was disputed. At daylight the Insurgents still held these positions. A combiucd assault s now p regressing. From Mlllcdffcvlllc, We clip the following items ftuin the Southern Recorder- of lust week : Gu Tuesday night last an attempt was made to burn the house of Col. L. U. Kenan, iu the suburbs of this place. No one was iu the house at the time, but fortunately the fire did not take hold upon the building, though a quantity of fodder and tut iightwood placed under the floor by the incendiary was consumed. No trace of the rascal has up to this time been discovered. Col. Sucad, being unable to give bail, aud, as wo are informed, to bear the expense of himself ami two guards, went to jail on Tuesday lust, lie is, to all appearance, a perl eel gen tleman both by liatu.o aud education , and if he lie a villain, is certainly one of the most accomplished wo ever saw It is reported that Miss My rick has become convinced of his guilt, and refuses to have any communication with him. There is a rumor afloat, hut without any subst intuition, that still another wife has turned up some where, and has been making inquiries relative to his whereabouts. ‘I want Gcu. Grant,' says Wendell Phillips,' to go down -into Georgia or South Carolina to arrest some cx- Gcncrul who counts his acres by thousands, numbers* Ills wealth by millions, and who stands enshrined in the loving admirations of half the South, to traek him to iiis lair, to arrest him at midnight, try him by sunrise, and hang him before tl»j sun is an hour high. General Grunt cer tainly ought to do something of that sort, as the amusement would be very beneficial to his health ; but as all the ex-Gcnerals of Georgia aud South Carolina count their acres by thousands aud their wealth by mill ions, we fear it would lie a difficult matter for him to determine which ono to hang. But then he could easily compromise the matter by bang ing them all Louisville Courier Journal. Peace. —General John R. Gordon in his Memphis lecture, gave utter once to the following: He had nothing but words of praise and veneration for the great and magnuimous men who fought and sub dued the south. If their voices were as potential in peace as their gh ant ing weapons had been in war a bh ss cd peace would have settled upon mil united the people of this land. [Chter.] It is against the crawling hypo crites who sneaked at home, who nev er felt a generous impulse stir their breasts, who perpetuate strife, that he raised his voice, He uttered a very fine philiipic against that wretched class of scribblers and machine nu. thorn, miserable compilers of other’s ideas who write books, the only new tbingjsbout which is the poison they inject into them. A man in Ashland, Pa., recently or dered a “ fine gold watch” from one of the swindling agencies in New York. Paying ten dollars express charges, be received, well boxed, a beautiful '* glass marble" block, with a note attached, reading thus; “Dear Sir i The mystery in regard to this is to find the key-hole by which to wind it up.

From the Savannah New s.] Gcuigiu lit lief lotvr- Import t.tlll Dei tlo;i. Harvey \V. I.atbrop vs. David M. Brown, important decison was ren dered by Mr. Justice Brail ley, on Saturday, in the above cause. At N’ovembo- terra, ls7o, defend ant filed a plea, based on llio Relief act of Georgia, passed 13th October, 1870, by the first section of which it is made unlawful for planliff to have a verdict on judgment in his favor, iu any suit “ founded on nny debt or contract, cause on action made or implied liefore the Ist day of June, 1805, or upon any other debt or con tract in renewal thereof,” until he (the planliff) “lias made it'clearly appear to the tribunal trying the same that all legal taxes, chargeable by law upon the same, have been duly paid for each year since the making or im plying of said debt or contract.” By the second section of said act it is made obligatory on theplantilf,before lie can recover, in “any suit now pending, or lierafter brought," and “ within six months after the passage of this act," to file an affidavit to the effect “ that all legal taxes, payable by law upon such debts or contracts, have been duly paid,” etc. To this act there are sixteen sec tions, hut it is hardly necessary < n refer particularly to any others that those quoted. A general demurrer to tliis plea brought up the question of the conslitiitioualtt of the net. On the part of the plantilf, it was contended that the Act was unconstitu tional: Ist, In being against the Con stitution of Georgia, especially the 30tli paragraph of the 17th section if the sth Article; and secondly, against that part of the Constitution of the Uuited States which prohibits the passing by a State Legislature of any law impairing the obligation of contracts. Several authorities were read. Defendant’s counsel made one or more points, the principal of which was, that, ns chosei in action were taxable before the Act of 1870, with the penalty of a double tax, &c., so the Legislature might add another penalty, to-wit, prohbition to sue if taxes are not paid. By the Court—l may be in error, but my decided opinion is that this act is unconstitutional. Judgment for plniutiff, sustaining the demurrer and sustaining the plea. The Atlanta Sun of last week, says Important Decision by Junes Bradley. —We ieam from Col. Wm. Dougherty, who is in the city for a few days, that during the sitting of the U. S. Circuit Court, at Savannah, last week, Judge Bradley, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, held that the invest ment by executors, administrators and trustees, of funds in their hands, as trustees, in Confederate States bonds and securities, under the acts of the Georgia Legislature, passed daring the war, were not illegal and void. But that all of such inves rnents. when made in good faith by trustees, are valid and binding. NO. 2 HAWKINSVILLE DISPATCH. PVBLISIIED EVERY IHCKSDIY. Us Subscription: $3 00 a ]'«.(% so inicatt*.
