' j The Geeat Snow Storm ns the West.
j The Cheyenne Leader of Janie ry 24
j says: “The weather has been so se-
: eret veakermau within the past three
1 days that the men employed, to clear
the road could not be kept at their
. nork more than a few minutes at a
time. Neither mon.-y, threats, per
suasion nor revolvers would avail to
keep them out The wind blows a
hurricane all the time, and the ther
mometer ranges at from ten to twenty
degrees below zero. If the wind would
snbside, it is the opinion of railroad
men that the road could be opened in
twenty-four hours.” At Cheyenne, on
Tuesday afternoon the wind suddenly
rose to a tempest. The air was dense
ly filled with snow, which whirled and
twisted in all directions. So dense
was the mass of snow flakes in the'air,
and-so powerful and irresistible the
wind, that one cpuld not see a yard in
advance, even on tee side walk, where
tee streets were sheltered by a con
tinuous row of buildings. A person
was liable to be lost in the most famil
iar localities, and some citizens who
happened ' to be out lost’_their way
within half a block of their own houses, .
one lady becoming bewildered when
almost inside her own door yard. The
children at the public sehoolhadte oe
taken to their homes, as it wouldteav-
been utterly impossible for them to
have made their way alone through
the storm. I This terrible squall con
tinued until after midnight. The mor
ning was one of the coldest ever ex
perienced in the city, the mercury in
dicate) g twenty degrees below zero.
The Savannah Advertiser, of Tues
day, says:
A few days since we stated that a
young child of Mr. Cronin had received
i a ent under its chin from a fail, and teat
•theskill of two physicians was unabl-
to stop the flow of blood entirely, after
using all the remedies known to their
art. The poor lad continuer to

The Houston Homs Journal
We published in full last week the
Load Act- for Bibb and Houston coun
ties. If this law is carried out his its
framers intended, it will he a most ex
cellent thing for our roads. The old
system of calling oat a* fores (about
half of which, p rhaps, would obey)
to shovel a little dirt and throw a few
bushes into the gullies, has almost de
generated into a burlesque, but under
the working of the new law we - hope
for better things. -One of tee most
economical things tee people of a
county can do, is to have good rojids.
Because itis'impossible to get fig-'
nres on the subject, few of us, perhaps'
none, are aware bow great a loss in
time and money’(to say nothing of the
wear and tear of patience) is caused
by having bad r roads.
The new law gives the working of,
tee roads to contractors, who . will b(
underfbond to do it satisfactorily. We
hope to see

When Was It?—By the treaty, of
Washington the termination of the re
hellion is fixed upon the Oth of April-
1865, when, according to the
bank by reason of the issuance of this
i attachment; . - . _ -
Bullock and the Kimballs held ac
counts at this bank. Bullock kept a
private account and one for tee State.
We clip the following statement from
the Constitution:
Gov. R. B. Bnlloekkept two ac
counts in this bank, one individually;
aid the other a special account as
Governor—fcltelast being State- funds,
il l. Kimbail & Co.also kept an ac
count, there. After the flight of Gov.
Bullock and H. L Kimball, on the 31st
of October, 1871, E. L. Jones, Cash-
.er of tee bank, informs Gov. Bulhick,
• y letter, that he. Bullock, had over-
irawn his private account 850,000
•ud H. L Eimha’l & Co. theirs to the
mount of 835,000, and that by direct-
on of the Board of Directors he had
.iaccd 850,000 of the $122,000 to hit,

One of the most delightful exercises
teat can be indulged in by the family
circle is th.e practice, of sacred music
<m Sabbath evening.. And to derive
the greatest amount of pleasure from
at, it should be accomprnied by a

can ever attain, which makes it an in
valuable accompaniment to sabbath
evening or family worship. The cabi
net organ'is an improvement on tee
melodeon,- and lias been brought to
great perfection of late years. Decid

•>n, the board. con.-idering the three
ccounts, viz: R. B: Bullock individual-
y, R. B.. Bnilock special account as
Governor, and H.-I. Kimball & Co.
is one and the same.
Govomor Bullock replied to thin
under date of-November 11, 1871, de
nying that the three accounts were
me and the same, aud asserting that
lie Directors knew different. He de
nounced their action .and said what lie
md overdrawn on his private account-
oe-was responsible for, and teat tee
8122, 953 59 were State funds and de
posited as such.
' Subsequently, he inclosed Acting
Governor Conley a copy of his letter
o E. L. Jones and denounced in un
measured terms tee action of tee Di
rectors and expressed intense indig
nation. He said that the sum of $122,
)..3 59 was justly due the State by the
Bank.
Acting Governor Conley drew a
h-aft on the Bank for tee full amount.
The Bank refused to honor it on the
grbhhfl teat they had no funds on
hand subject to the draft.
The Bank claims teat Bullock and
the Kimballs had dr: wn out all but.
about 832 000 and that is Bullock’s
private funds.
The laws of the TJunited Statps, we
believe, inflict a heavy penalty upon
bank officers who make false entries io
-lefor.id depositors or corporations.
E. L. Jones, the cashier of the bank,
writes a note to all the Atlanta papers.
He denies that the funds belong to
the State as far as the hank had any
knowledge. He says that Bullock
kept two accounts with tee bank—one
personal, tee other special. The to
ner was kept up mostly by Kimball &
Co., who deposited one year $S0,<KKt
o Bullock’s credit. The spe
cial account seemed at first to be State
:unds, but latterly Kimball & Co., de
posited funds-to tee amount of 8104,000
• o tee credit of the speraal account out
of funds realized, as Jones understood,
from the sale of Albany and Brunswick
Railroad bonds, about tee time Gover
nor Biiilock was in California. . He

The Constitution has a corps of corres
pondents, domestic and foreign, unsurpass

ceedings of the -Legislature and the Sn-

World.
Being at the political centre ot Georgia,
it has superior advantages to obtain the la

The Constitution is now the Official
Oegan of the State of Georgia and the
Democratic party, having been unani
mously elected at the last serson of th,
Genend Assembly. It is also the official
paper of this city and county.
To the people of South-west Georgia we
desire tc call attention to the fact that The
