in the election, and hence were anxious to
set it aside. Here is what the President
says in regard to the matter:

where we found everything cozy, convenient
and comfortable. The clerks are attentive
and courteous; tho fair is substantial and well
served and the waiters are polite and ready
to attend to wants of guests. We commend
the Central to those who may visit the city.
Shortly after we had been at the hotel, we
met our friend Lewis Dinkins, of this city,
and who is now sojourning in Augusta. He
invited us to his room at his hoarding house,
where we received introductions to several
very clever young gentlemen. We also met
our friend Milo G. Hatch, who, with the oth
ers, is attending medical lectures. We ten
der our sincere acknowledgments to Mr-
Diukins and Mr. Hatch for kind attentions
shown us while in the city.
On Friday night we went to
Girardey’k Opera House
to see the acting of Mr. Joseph Murphry, the
inimitable comedian. The house is a large
one, and well arranged. The acting was ex
cellent and was witnessed by a very large au
dience. Mr. Murphy is becoming extensively
known as a fine actor, and is praised wherev
er he goes.
On Saturday we perambulated the city
pretty extensively, and observed many ob
jects of interest. First was the
Orphan’s Asylum,
which is a magnificent edifice erected by the
city, for a home for the orphaned children of
the city.
We next passed tho

year,' including $608,319 15 receivdd from
the former Treasurer, were $3,172,788 74.
Expenditures for the year were $2,250,232 49,
leaving a balance-in the Treasury on the 1st
of January, 1874, of $922,556 25. Bonds ma
turing during the year, principal and inter
est, $823,860.
The probable receipts during the year end
ing 31st December, 1874, put down at $2,
722.856; probable disbursements, including
the payment of bonds maturing, will be $1,
159,196, leaving a probable balance in the

The amount receive from the sale of the
Rutting bonds, is $1,200,000.
The total State debt is $8,343,000.
The financial condition of the State is most
encouraging.

Atlanta.
Speaking cf the wonderful growth and
prosperity of Atlanta the Herald says:
But a little over eight years have elapsed
since her baptism of fire, or, at least, since
she commenced to repair the ravages of war,
and what do we see! A grand city of thirty
thousand inhabitants sits proudly on the
spot but yesterday made desolate by the fiery
torch of the invader. Her public buildings,
store rooms and private residences are on a
scale of magnificence to be seen nowhere
else in the South. Her little trade of a few
hundred thousand annually in a few pro-
dnets, has increased to forty odd millions,
and covers almost the entire range of busi
ness pursuits. We have six railroads with i
numerous branches connecting her with every
yortion of the Union. We have, as stated
yesterday on the authority of a census just
taken, ten banks, twenty churches, one iron
rolling mill, several foundries of iron and
brass, two large candy manufactories, seven
teen newspapers and periodicals, fifty-eight
boarding houses, sixteen boot and shoe stores,
five book stores, twenty-eight commission
houses, twenty drudg stores, nine furniture
stores, two hundred and twenty-one retail
grocery stores, fifty-three insurance com
panies, ninety-one lawyers, forty-five physi
cians, thirteen millinery stores, five planing
mills, eleven restaurants, twenty-five whole”

of wholesale dry goods stores, two large soap-
l'actories, several breweries, one box and ope

A tax on Tea and Coitee.—Congress is
meditating ‘lie imposition of a tax on tea and
coffe. If we remember aright somebody in
the vicinity of Boston made a big fuss about
a ‘Max on tea," some years ago. But times
do change, and people with them. It is'said,
howc-ve, that the agitation of the question of
imposing a duty on tea and coffee in order
to increase the revenues-has had the effect of
revi\yTig-specnlatioa.in those articles. It is
noticed that dealers are accumulating large
stocks, nndjthat there are frequent purchases
of cargoes to arrive. These facts are being
reported to j the] Treasury K Department, and
the information is of weight against the poli
cy of imposing the duties, which] the in
creased revenues will probably- render un
necessary. The action of the Western Grang
ers in opposing these duties, a Washington
correspondent thinks, “will scare twenty or
thirty- Congressmen out of their individual
opinions.” He acids that “a Western Con
gressman fsom the agricultural districts must
fight the tea and coffee duty or stay.at home
next Congress.”
Congress is after the Mormons. A strin
gent bill has been introduced in the Senate
regarding polygamy in Utah. It withholds
citizenship from alien polygamists, and gives
women the custody of minor children and a
due share of polygamists’ property.
While there is a large exodus of negroes
from Alabama to Arkansas, there is also a
large emigration of white people from that

for better situations, while the white people
are fleeing from Radical rule and high taxes.

Caleb Cushing fob Chief Justice.—The
United States Senate was surprised no little,
on the 9th, apon receiving the nomination of
Gen. Caleb Cushing as Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court. Gen. Cushing was also
greatly astonished, as ho expected to leave
this country on the 24th for Madrid as Min
ister to Spain. The nomination was referred
to the Committee on Judiciary. What can
be the President’s motive for seeking to con
fer so many honors upon one man is a litttle
difficult to surmise. If he cannot find com
petent men “up North” for the various re
sponsible positions within his disposal, if he
will look “down South” a little he will find
men of worth and eminently qualified to fill
any- post from that of President of the Uni
ted States down.

His subject for that lecture was upon the va

their uses and abuses. We were much inter

From 1 to 2 o’clock we listened to Dr. Ford,

how to impart his knowledge to others.

Cotton Chop Estimates.—We have received
says the Chronicle, from Messrs. Louis H.

containing estimates of the cotton crop by
124 members of the Rev.- York Cotton Ex

receivers, 50 brokers, 21 exporters and 12 lo
cal operators. That the lowest estimates is
3,700,000 bales, and the highest 4,600,000
baits and that the others come between these
two extremes. The average of all the esti
mates is given as follows :

Gordon made it because, he said, he had been
charged with being influenced by personal
prejudice against the Administration. He
said that he was one of those who hel l a com
mand in the Confederate army when it sur
rendered to Ceneral Grant at Appomattox.—
Until that time he had never known what
grief was. The negotiations occupied four
days and four nights, und during all that
time not one word of exultation escaped the
lip.-, of the Federal commanders. In fact,
they evade ! all conversation relative to the
battles in which the Union armies had been
successful, and spoke only of those engage
ments in which they had been defeated. Ho,
for one, appreciated such magnanimity. -It
sank deep into his heart, and he mentioned
the fact to prove that he was not personally
hostile to President Grant.

Helena, Montana, January 11.—A fire,
which broke out here yesterday morning in
China Town, destroxed the whole of that su
burb, and then jumped to Bridge street. The
flames then continued down both sides of
-Vain street for some distance, destroying
everything. The east side of Clover street
and the buildings between it and Main street
were also destroved, with evevthing on,, . ., ,
Jackson street, to near the St. Louis Ho- I l*™- m . saxd on the first Tuesday

B Y virtue of an order from the Court of
Ord
Ordinary of Emanuel county, will be
sold before the Court house door at Swains-
tel, and up both sides
Bridge streets. On the first- street among
the buildings destroyed were the Internation
al and Cosmopolitan Hotels, First Rational
and People's Banks and the contents of their
vaults and safes, which were thought to be
fire-proof; the Gazette printing establishment,
and many stores. The fire jumped to Fifth
avenue, destroying some residences. Be
sides the losses from the fire, a great many
suffer heavily by moving. The total loss is
estimated at $850,000, on which tho insu
rance is light.

A correspondent of the Monroe Advertiser,
speaking of the lien law-, says: The law is
good. Repeal is not the remedy. Retrench
ment is the w-ord. Enactments will never
fill vour barns and smoke-houses. Lien laws,
granges nor Patrons of Husbandry will ever
speed your plow. Make" small calculations
and “tote your own skillet.” Then we will
need no law, and all will be well.
A Substitute for the salary hill has past
Congress, and now awaits the'signature of
the President. It repeals the act of March
last so far as it increases all salaries except
those of the President of the United States,
and Justices of tho Supreme Court, and fix
es ail salaries, with the exception above
named, the same as they were prior to March
last. All back pay, not drawn or returned,
is declared to be converted into the treasury,
and property of the United States.
Eighty-eight j-oung ladies in 5Iinnesota
have banded together and agreed not to mar
ry any man who uses tobacco in any form.
The same number of men have banded to
gether and agreed not to marry any female
who uses paste, enamel, false hair, bustles
and corsets. What a wonderful supply of
old bachelors and old maids Minnesota is
likely to have, if those resolutions are carried
out.
The Albany News says hiring is about
over in that section, and planters are gener
ally fully supplied with labor. The prices
paid are full twenty-five per cent, belaw last
year’s, and in most instances greater
reductions have been agreed upon. For
first-class hands, without patches or Satur
days, $120 is the ruling figure. For the
same class with privileges S100. For sec
ond and third class $80, and down to $60.
Fr.ox Texas.—Gov. Davis issued a procla

The wreckage tables for 1873 show that 459

amounts to from $11,697,000 to S11,783,000.

A collision occurred in New York, on the
13th, between the working men and police.—
The former were dispersed with several made
prisoners. One of the prisoners stated that
he had not tasted food for two days, and was
desperate.
Mrs. Mary Ann Schley, widow of the late
Judge John Schley of Richmond county,
died at Summerville, near Augusta, on Fri
day last, aged 87 years.
A dispatch from Knoxville, Tenn., states
that Ex-President Andrew Johnson declares
himself tn full accord ivith the Grange move
ment, and says the time has arrived for good
men of all parties to associate and bring about
such reforms as the exigencies of the country
require.
Second—The bill, reduced to practical pro
positions, means social equality formulated
into law and enforced by legal punishments,
and.against this very thing the exponents of
tliq republican party have pledged them
selves time and again.
Third—The bill is an attempt to forestall
the slower butdiealtheir operation of pub ic
opinion upon a subject that cannot be handl
ed in any other way, and will be productive
of deplorable mischief to both races all over
the Union.
Fourth—It is a strong measure, entirely
confined in its. .practical operation to the
Southern States, the relations between the
races in other parts of the Union being ami
cable and constantly improving, and the re
presentatives of .the East and West in Con
gress exhibiting a significant desire to keep
out of the controversy.
Fifth—However well defined the intent of
the law, it will be used as a terrible engine of
oppression in the South, by arraigning and
prosecuting under it persons attempting to
continue those discriminations that have al
ways been recognized as proper, without
reference to race or" color.
Sixth—It cannot fail to greatly weaken the
Republican party by the reaction that will
spring up against it as soon as its practical
working is seen, os one the many unwise,
reckless and cowardly pieces of legislation
for which the party in Congress has become
too notorious.
Seventh—If the hill was one to be approved,
instead of being scouted, the glory und credit
would all go to its champion, Mr. Sumner,
and be carried away by him from the Republi
can party to further strengthen an opposition
that threatens to crystalize and consolidate
itself before the next Presidential election.
