Stephens Will accept our thanks for copies of his speech, delivered in the Rational House of Representatives on the 5th inst., in opposi tion to the Civil Rights Bill. We regret that A Trip to Augusta. A few days since we made a short visit to Augusta, and while there we managed to blend business with pleasure in such a way as to make the trip very pleasant and inter Mr. Thomas Knight, ot/cof the oldest citi zens of Macon, died a few days since.

Hill asserts that he has lost one ' hundred thousand dollars by farming since | once more to hear him who had so often in this admirable document, Mr. Stephens op poses the iniquitous ineasiire upon constitu tional principals, and his argument is con clusive to any but thoso who are blinded by prejudice. Tho bill, as is known to most of our readers, is the offspring of that old mis chief maker, Charles Sumner, and is the adopted child of Benjamin F. Butler, not inappropriately called “the Beast.” When it was known that Georgia’s great Statesman was about to address the House, the galleries were crowded with eager listeners, anxious he begin planting in Dougherty county. The Quitman lariat]"has suspended, but ■will so6n he succeeded by the Quitman Re porter. 'Mrs. S. B.

At the end of 1873 there were 71,564 miles railroad in the county. 4,190 zaiLes naving heen constructed during the year. days of yore, held spell hound vast assem blies. Owing to his feeble condition, phys ically, Mr. Stephens readhis speech from a seat prepared on the right of the Speaker of tho House. It really seems providential, that after so many years absence from the Hails of Con gress, this man of wonderful intellect and unbounded influence, should have been there at the opportune time to oppose a measure, that once upon the Statute books, would be a disgrace to the American people.

And now comes the follow ing, in response to a call for troops to inforce an iniquitous decision made by the Supreme Court of Texas. The Radicals were defeated in the election, and hence were anxious to set it aside. Here is what the President says in regard to the matter: Executive Mansion, i Washington, January 12, 1S74. j To Gov Davis, Austin, Texas: Your dispatches and letters reciting the ac tion of the Supreme Court of Texas, in de claring the late election unconstitutional, and the use of troops to prevent appre- ed at tl Centeai. Hotel, 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 Augusta Factory, which is a very large manufacturing establish ment, situated on the Canal. Several hun dred operatives receive employment there, and a large amount of business is transacted. Special io the Telegraph & Messenger. FRO.II ATLAYTA. Atlanta, Ga., January 13, 1874.

Receipt from all sources for the past 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 Treasury at the end of the year $1,159,196. 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. Col. Jones’ report is highly creditable and satisfaetry. - Ten thousand dollars of the Rutting bonds sold in Macon last week at one hundred and two. 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” sale liqnor houses, about the same number of wholesale dry goods stores, two large soap- l'actories, several breweries, one box and ope piper-bag factory, to say nothing, of the in numerable little shops and stands 'tfcat go on to make up the business of the city.

Mr. Crisp, we believe, was j an offirer of artillery- in the Confederate .ar my during a portion of the late war. 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 State to Texas. The negroes are looking out for better situations, while the white people are fleeing from Radical rule and high taxes. From the Mayor's annual report publish ed in the Savannah papers, it appears that the floating debt of that city is $377,952,2S, and the bonded debt S3.3S6.640. Gas costs 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. Professor Raines, Professor of Chemistry. His subject for that lecture was upon the va rious alkaloid substances and their bases, of their uses and abuses. We were much inter ested in his remarks. From 12 to 1 we lis tened to Professor Doughty-, on Therapeutics and Materia J/ediea, taking for the subject of his remarks, on this branch of the study-, the class of medicines known as hydragogues. From 1 to 2 o’clock we listened to Dr. Ford, Jr., on Anatomy. He is a very smooth, free lecturer, and makes his remarks in such way as io interest his hearers. He appears to he perfectly familiar with the structure of the .human frame, and seems to know- very well how to impart his knowledge to others. There are about forty students attending lectures there now. There would perhaps have been more but tho “panic” probably- ac counts for the absence of many who would like to attend at this college. Our friend Hatch will graduate soon. Y7e learned that he had been elected the valedic torian for his class. The museum of the College has a fine col lection of specimens and curiosities.

We sec that the names include 41 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.

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.

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.

The Legislature assembled, howev er, on the 13th, without opposition from the Governor or military. The wreckage tables for 1873 show that 459 vessels belonging to or trading to ports in the United States, were wrecked in the twelve- month, against 417 in 1873.

Hood, with 9 members. It has no house of worship but holds its service in the Cliapell of the Mt. Vernon Institute. It is a good house and is freely tendered to the church to worship in. This church cannot grow large | while Rew Bethel remains 3 miles on the j cast and Jacksons 3 miles on the west. The school (Mt.

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.
