M. I>iri.\EIX, Proprietor. . C. It. C. iriLZiyOUAM, Editor. Thursday Horning, March 11,1875 THE Civil, RIGHTS RAIDERS. Win. 1). Higginbotham, a colored man of this county, and the wealthiest one of his race in the county, made the remarks, the other day, as we are told, that he would have given a thousand dollars if it would have prevented the passage of the civil rights bill. Hig ginbotham is a man of good hard sense, and readily sees that all attempts to en force the doctrine of civil rights practi cally will result injuriously to the web fare of his race. He sees that in isolat ed communities a few negroes may bring on sorious collisions between the rar.es that may culminate in the much dreaded “war of races.” He knows, also, that in the end his peoplo will be the sufferers. We are glad to nolo everywhere, so far ns we have seen reports, that all the attempts of negroes to force themselves into the presence of white peoplo un der the provisions of the ciyil rights bill, have been made by reckless, dare' devil men, who have no real interest at stake in the picservation of peace and good order. The hotter class of our colored people are nil opposed to snob pretensions, and discourage them in every instance. In all cases, all such attempts have been made by negroes who hoped to “bilge” some hotel keeper or theatre for damages under the infa mous bib—the last spiteful luck an ex piring party gave to the poor South. In the face of the apprehended troubles to grow out of the enforcement of the civil rights hill, we think the best thing our people can do is to exer cise the greatest possible forbearance, and thereby give no occasion for negro insolence, and when they do act imper tinently, to treat them in the most sum mary manner. Hotel koopera and thea tre managers, as well as railroad men, it seems to us, may meet the issue on the score of nuisance. There are few negroes whose very smell is not a nui sance, especially in July or August. Upon that ground the issue may he ine> as an issue of a dirty and filthy white man would ho turned from a hotel, ;. theatre or ejected from a railroad car. The scent d'Ajrique is not at all pita- ant to Caucasian olfactory nerves, I most cases, it is a nuisance, the mor intolerable as tho “situation” become warmer, and more intensely heated On that ground the smell of Afrioai mellowness would afford just and lega ground, wo think, for an action ejecting a nuisance, oven if it required an ener getic application of a stout pair of boots. A drunken and filthy white man would meet just such treatment at any re spectable hotel if he could not ho gotten rid of otherwise. And we hardly be lieve a respectable jury would find in favor of such an imposition upon pub lic decency. Badinage aside, wo hope the colored people will confine themselves within their own sphere. We wish this for tlie sake of peace and harmony between the races. The negroes have a hard time to get along at best. Any attempt upon their part to take advantage of the civil rights hill will only subject them to a harder lot, and they will soon find it impossible to live in the same community with tho whites, as their services will he dispensed with entirely, and white help i mported to supply their places. In a few words, the salvation of tho negroes depends upon their good be havior more than the practical working of the civil rights hill. IIOW IS THIS t During tho discussion of the appro* priation bill before the last Legislature relative to the superintendent of pub lic works, it was claimed that his du ties as receiver of tho Macon and Brunswick and the North and and South Railroads demanded an increase of his salary; and, because of these duties the increase was made. Now, we see by the following order from Gov. Smith that Dr. Flewcllen has resigned the office of superintend ent of public works and the Governor has appointed him receiver of these Roads, the very ones of which ho was ex officio receiver before his resignation. Whereas, the positions of Receiver of the property of tho Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company, and of the property of the North and South Railroad Com -any huve become vacant by the resignation of the Superintend ent of I’ii Idie Works, and it being nec essary that a Receiver or Receivers should be appointed at once to lake charge of tho property belonging to said railroad, companies respect lively, It is, therefore, ordered, that Edward A Flewellen he, and he is hereby, ap pointed Receiver of the property of tne Macon and Brunswick Railroad, to hold, manage and coutrol.the same as directed by order from this department, He will also for the present take charge of the property of the North and South Itailroad Company os Receiver, to hold, manage and control the same in like manner. His compensation for ser vices as said Receiver will be hereafter adjusted and fixed. Now, the query arises, What right has Gov. Smith to separato tho offices of superintendent of the public works and receiver of the roads ; and should not. he have remedied tho vacancy by appointing a now superintendent of public works, who would have been ex- officio receiver? We enquire again, How is this? The compensation is yet to ho fixed. As wo understand it tho appropriation bill of the Legislature has already fix ed the salary, and that salary is intend ed for both superintendent of public works and receiver of those roads. We ask again, How is this? We simply usk for information. Collection of Specific Taxes. A circular from the Comptroller General instructs tho tax collectors of Georgia to collect the specific taxes promptly and'without delay. These taxes are not given in and do not ap pear on tho receivers’ digest, and are enumerated ns follows from the general tax act of 1875 : 1. Upon every keeper of any other table, stand or place, or any game or play, with :rir withoiit a liame, unless kept for exercise or amusement not pro hibited by law, and not kept for gain di rectly, ten dollars. 2 Upon every keeper of ten-pin al ley, or alley of like character, kept for public play, twenty-five dollars. 3. Upon all peddlers, of patent med icines, or other articles of like charac ter, the sum of fifty dollars for each county in which they nmy peddle. 4. Upon all sleight,-of-liaud perform ances, magicians, and negro minstrels, the sum of twenty-five dollars for each and every county where they may ex hibit. 5. Upon all circus companies, two hundred dollars for each day they may exhibit irt cities, tow ns-or counties con taining a population of more than ten thousand inhabitants; and one hun dred dollars in cities, towns and coun ties containing a population of more than five thousand inhabitants, and less than ten thousand; nnd fifty dollars in all eiiies, towns and counties with a population under five thousand inhabi tants. 0. Upon all shows or exhibitions, ex cept for literary or charitable purposes, in this State, the sum of twenty-five dollars for each and every county where such shows may lie exhibited : Pro vided, this shall not'apply to histrionic, d.a'ntttic, elocutionary and other per formances usual ■ in theatres and operas;, that the taxes levied in this section shall be paid to the Tax Collec tor. 7. Upon each agent of any insurance company doing business in this .State the sum of fifteen dollars. 8. Upon each emigrant npont doing business in this Stato tne sum of one hundred dollars for each and every county in which he may conduct said business, said tax to ho paid to tho Tax Collectors of tho several counties. Cheaper Gas. In conversation yesterday with one of the directors of the Savannah Gaslight Company, we gathered the following in teresting points: That the Directors have for some time past been watching the results of essays The Late Manifesto. The New York Day-Book publishes the address of Southern Congressmen, and says: “What moral cowardice 1—worse, vastly worse, what unspeakable folly ! —and worse even still, what mighty niado Pennsylvania and other places in I danger wrapped up in that stupid pros- thc manufacture of gas from petroleum, m <•>«-!mv,re, i ti.« so far, with but _ questionable encourage ment to the Boa’rd ; for, although a cer tain success is claimed hy those who offer patented oil processes as substitutions for coal gas, tne Directors have looked in vain tor the adoption of the new ma terial hy the great gas companies of the Northern cities, where there is rivalry keen enough to stimulate any explora tion of a new idea. Unwilling, however, to wait longer upon others, the Directors have finally detenuint-d to experiment for themselves, and a convenient plot in their grounds, already detailed for the purpose, is pres ently to be occupied with petroleum retorts, the retorts, tho results of which—i. c., purity ami illuminating power, not less than economic production—will deter mine future action. Should the inferences he favorable, the petroleum retorts can be promptly connected with the thirty miles of exist ing street mains of tho work at compar atively insignificant expense, anil a re duction in ino cost of a prime clement of domestic comfort be assured hy the com pany to the public. In common with our fellow-citizens, we shall await the result of the experi ment.—Savannah Actcs, February 24. Atlanta is about to have her cottton factory. Wo know of no city in Geor gia where a mammoth establishment of tho sort could bo run to greater pro fit, or where it would confer a greater blessing upon many of the idle and unemployed but needy people of tho ?outh. \Vc sincerely wish the enter prise great success. Chattanooga isn’t out of the water i t. When it is remembered ns the lir i'-st place in tho neighborhood of -ei'i'gia, its friends may have some op.) that it is going through a severe e nnsing that will relieve the city of ll cause of “fever and ague.” And now we hear it that a Georgia woman has recently gave birtn to four healthy children at once. After roedi- tatingly scratching our head for an idea concerning such a family misfortune, we find ourself exceedingly sorry for her vigorous old husband. The Atlanta Constitution designates tho late Congress as- “ the happily de funct congress.” Wo have studied sev en minutes and six seconds to see if we could tell exactly what is meant. The “ Maniac Lover’’ is to be a cheap story after all. The Constitution adver tises it now in the “ten cent column.” There is n great deal more religion than piety, and that accounts for the vast amount of hypocricy in the world. NEW IIAMIMIIIRE ELECTION. The eloction last Tuesday for Govern or and Congressmen resulted in a Ro publican triumph hy a small majority. Wo did not expect Democratic success in that State much, though we lmd a hope that the great Democratic tidal wave of last fall might save the State from Radi calism by wheeling it into tho-Democrat- ic line. Dispatches, however, state that the Democrats wore hopeful of having elected their Governor aud two Con gressmen. The'Radical vote was doubt less swelled hy the siijijiort of the pro hibitionists. Greeley, in 1872, with all his popular ity in NeW England, was defeated by some six thousand majority. The Demo crats succeeded last year by a split be tween the Republicans and prohibiouists. Next 5 ear we nmy look out for a fierce struggle in the “Granite State.” If the Democratic party will hut adhere to their ancient principles, we shall carry that State for the Democracy, and there is not a truer Democracy anywhere than in New Hampshire. We dike ‘‘beauty unadorned” best, and despise the arts of women to fill out de ficiencies that are simply impositions up on men’s imaginings. Washington Notes. Washington, March 9th.—In the senato to-day, the vice-president being absent the senate proceeded to elect a president pro tem. Tho radicals put forward Ferry, of Michigan; while the democrats centred upon Senator Thur man. Ferry received 39 votes; Thur man, 25. In tho organization of the commit tees to-day, Senator Johnson was placed upon two important committees—post offices, and foreign relations. It is whispered that Senator Johnson will pay considerable attention to Grant’s Spanish policy; nnd that he will also stir up southern post office matters. The department is reeking with corrup tion; and an investigation is much de sired, In the list of appointments sent in to-day was tho name of Mr. Glover, for tho Macon post office.

A Threat from Germany.—Berlin, March 9, 1875.—The Tugtblatt of this city says: The government having been informed that France intends to order an experi mental concentration of troops on her eastern frontier, early in the spring, it is intimated- to President McMahon thut it would direct the mobilization of two army corps on the Rhine, if Franco persisted in carrying out th<? intention.

Washington, March 9. — Senator Booth, from California, is here. In the Republican caucus Ferry, of Michigan, was chosen President pro. tem. of the Senate and approved. The revision of the standing commit tees reported by the sub-committee of the Senate on Thursday will determine the jtiostion of sergornt-at-arms us botween French, the present incumbent, aud Charles Kennedy, of New York, who contested (ho place with French in 18u9. They will then consider whether it will (to expedient to nmke change in the oth er officers. Tilts Democrats have been accorded, the chairmanship of the Committee on Enrolled Bills, making three. Some committee.? have been increased from seven to nine, upon each of which the Democrats have three members. In the Senate, Vico President Wilson being absent,, Ferry received thirty-nine votes and Thurman twenty-five for presi dent pro. tem. Tlie standing committees announced show the following changes: Chairmen— Coupling, C immercc, vice Chandler; Hainliu, Post Office and Post Roads, vice Ramsey; Oglesby, Public Lands, vice Sprague; Ingalls, Pensions, vieo l’ratt; Hitchcook, Territories, vice Boremau; West, Railroads, vice Stewart; Sargent, Mines and Mining, vieo Hamlin ; Bout- well, Revision of laws, vieo Coukling; Patterson, Education ami Labor, vieo Flanagan; Clayton, Civil Service and retrenchment, vice Wright. Commissions were given to two Demo crats : Thurman, private laud claims; Stevenson revolutionary claims. After tho announcement Mr. Pinch- back resumed.

New Hampshire Election. Boston, March 9.—Sufficient returns have already come in to ensure beyond all doubt sweeping victory for the Re publicans. During the evening the several newspaper offices and the Re publican hadnuaiters havo been crowd ed with people, seeking information. All news obtained was of tho same gen eral character, showing victories for the Republicans, and losses for the Demo crats. Not much excitement was man ifested in the streets,those interested hav- ingcrowded interne several offices, wliere the enthusiasm was vented in cheers nnd congratulations. The rooms occupied hy tho State Committee of both parties havo been open all the evening- that of the Re publicans has been filled with an en thusiastic crowd, while the visitors at the Democratic headquarters have been few in number. The Republicans held a meeting in Rumford hall, where con gratulatory speeches were made by sev eral citizens. The Republicans claim they have elected Cheney Governor by the people, and all three Congressmen ; that they will have a majority of thirty or forty in tlie Legislature; also a ma jority in the Senate, as tho returns al ready show the election of seven Sena tors at present. Men of Work.—A. T. Stewart de clined a social invitation from Govern or Tildcn because he was so busy. This man of 74 years and nobody knows how many million, in his devotion to hard work is like several other old New York millionaries. Moses Taylor is always laboring. Vander bilt, now 80, is at his office daily and is harder pushed than his clerks. Wil liam B. Astor, who is over 80, attends closely to tho business of his vast real estates. George Law and Daniel Drew are eacli 76, but do not abate a jot of their active work. PeterCoopor, aged 31, is regular.y at his office in the in stitute building. Edward Mathews, who readied 75, keeps a close eye on his Wall street reality. At 78 Charles O’Couor is still up to his ears in legal papers, though he avoids, when possi ble, attendance upon the courts. So the denunciation grind goes on, lest rust and ago should conspire to break down the machinery. A private letter from Charleston, S. 0., gives the latest nnd best news from thatafilicted region. Thocorrcspo- dent says; We are without a Legislature; the members cennot meet during the day as they have to he in their barbershops, etc., to make a living, and cannot as semble at night becauso tho gas com pany shut off the gas with a 8600 bill unpaid. Mrs. Mary E. Patterson, who was convicted in the Monmouth courts of being a common scold, has been sen tenced to tho county jail for thirty days. This is the first conviction for this offence in New Jersey since the revolution. In former times those found guilty of being scolds were pun ished by a ducking in the river. The efforts which arc being niado by tlie mcnibets of the National Guard of New York State to assist the Washington Light Infantry, of Charleston, 8. C., in raising funds for tho benfit of the fami lies of their deceased commanders are meeting with gratifying success. There is a curious difference of opin ion in tho country. Tho Milwaukee Sentineilsays that if the ex-confederates sit in the forty-fourth congress “the last hope of liberty 1b gone.” The Sentinel should then shut up shop and join the carpet-baggers’ Jiegira to New Mexi co. How long will a locomotive last and he servicehle? An qngino on the Read ing road has been on duty since 1847, and has run in that time 475,733 mites, or an average of nearly 1-7,000 miles per year for twenty-eight years. _ Pro bably there is very little of the original engine remaining except the frame and minor parts, Another engino, made in London, England, in 1838, is still do ing duty.
