SAVANNAH.
The irrepresnib'e Alpeoria comes for
ward and thus makes petition to llis
Excellency, U. S. Grant, the President of
the U. S. America, and His Honorable
Cabinet: “We your humble Petitioners
eome’s and pray, that Thomas P. Rottb may
be removed fr< m the Custom House in
Savannah Ga for reasons, meny of which
are unfit to be set fert.h in this petition,
and all which we are ready to verify.
We do not wisq call your attention to his
pass life as a bar-tender in New Orleans,
nor to him as a sailer-boarding House
keeper in Californie, nor to the many
frauds that has taken place and are taken
place under him : —but to the fact that he
has and does use his Office to demoralize
corrupt and divide the Republican party of
the first Congressional District of Georgia."
The citizens of Savannah are excited
over an elopement case.
ATLANTA.
The city is rile with rumors that 11. I.
Kimball has failed.
The Atlanta Journal of CoNnm»rce
sketches the route of the contemplated
Great Western and Atlantic Canal. This
engineering scheme is a gigantic one. and
it* intended to Connect the Tennesse river
with the Atlantic.
Ex-Gov. Ilerschell V. Johnson has de
livered an address to the Agricultural
Societies in reference to the next Agricul
tural C-mgress.
The Atlanta Sun says: “A sub commit
tee nf the Joint Congressional Ku-Kbix
Committee, reachod this city early yesterday
morning. It consists of Horace Maynard,
of Tennessee, Chairman ; G. W. Sch 'field,
of Pennsylvania ; W. E. Lansing, of New
York ; D. W. Yoorhees, of Indiana; and
Thus. F. Bayard, of Deleware—the last two
are Democrats, and the others Radicals."
The Committee now in session in Atlanta,
through its Chairman, have summoned an
unusual number of witnesses. Almost
forty men from Floyd county are here, on
summons to appear before them Numer
ous others have been and will be called on.
We learn that the entire list of witnesses
who have been before the Grand Jury at
the pressent session of onr Superior Court,
have been summoned indiscriminately.—
Rev. Mr. Caldwell will be examined this
morning.
We learn that Gov. Bullock, since his
return, has not only caused a”suit to be
commenced against Dr. Angier, because
the Doctor refused to pay illegal warrants,
hut that he declines to draw any warrants
on the Treasury for any purpose. Persons
to whom money is justly due, and to whom
the money could as well be paid as not,
cannot prevail on the Governor to daaw
his warrant for the same. We have heard
that he says he wants the question tested,
as to whether he or Angier is Governor.
Tint Country Press of Georgia. — The
Savannah N' i ws pays some merited compli

which we heartily ennorse. It says our
Georgia rural press is far ahead of that of
any other Soujhern State, save Kentucky,
and on a par with that of any Northern
State. We go farther and say that we
doubt if the Country Press of any Northern
State can equal < Ors.
Oar contemporary hopes to sec the day
when the Country Press shall be a respected
and recognized power in the land. It is so
to-day.

During a fine starlight evening lately a
three-year-old philosopher, after a silent
and apparently profound scrutiny of the
heavens, asked his mother abruptly, “Where
do the stars come from ?” Mamma replied :
“I don’t know' Willie; I don’t know where
the stars come from.” “Well, you bet I do.
The moon laid ’em.
The Hearth and Home says: “Tho
oracles of the human soul speak in favor of
the purity and perpetuity of marriage.
Men may forsake the oracles and build so
cialisms out of their own fancies. It is all
the worse for them. But the intuitions,
the loves, the moral impulse of the race uro
on the side of marriuge.”
Ilow a Western Editor Gets Out or a
Scrape —The editor of the La Crosso
Democrat had some prairie chickens sent
him the other day, and thankfully acknowl
edged the same, forgetting that the chickens
bad been shot in violation of the game law.
N»xt day, he says “they were fish,” and
blames the compositor for the mistake.
He adds:
“The error was more mortifying to us
because the law preventing the having iti
our possession of prairie chickens was yet
in force, and it might lead ignorant parties
to suppose that we had violated the law,
and set at defiance the State of Wisconsin,
and all the law-abiding people thereof.
We knew they were fi-h all the time, and
told the girl when she was picking off the
feathers they were fish. The wish bone
was a regular Cat-iish wish bone, and the
feet—but why multiply words, anybody
would know r they were not chicken.”
Great Fires.— The Chicago fire recalls
other great conflagrations, which, however,
it leads.
New York, in 1835, lost Gsocostly houses,
worth with their contents SIB,OO ,000. In
two years the burnt area was entirely re
built, more splendidly than ever.
In 184’), Pittsburg lay in ashes: over
1,200 houses burned, and the loss $5,000,000.
Portland. Maine, in 1806, burned in tho
flames $10,000,000. One-fourth of the
population was left homeless. Over fifty
buildings were blown up to stop the fire.
Few traces now remain of the fire.
In 1812, Moscow wa3 deliberately de
stroyed by itsown people to defeat Napoleon.
Tne great fire in London in 1866 has
hitherto been regarded as the greatest of
record. It lasted seven days. Nearly 15,
000 houses, private and public, were con
sumed. Whole blocks were blowu up to
arrest the fl trncs.
In 1364, Atlanta, Georgia, went up into
smoke an 1 down into ashes, with entire

Josn Bileings on Marriage— Sum mar
ry for love, without a cent in their pocket
nor a drop of pedigree. This look- desper
ate; but it iz the strength of the game".
Sum marry because they think wimruin
will be scare? next year, and live tew won
der how the crop holds out. Sum marty
tew g p t rid ov themselves, and discover that
the game was one that two coaid play at,
and neither ov them win. Sum rnarrv the
second time tew get even, and find it a
gambling gßine —tho more they put down
the le«s they take up. Sum marry tew be
happy, not finding it wonders wheLe
all tfie happiness goes tew when it dies.
Sum marry th**y can’t tell why, and live
they can’t tell how. Almost everybody
gits matned, and it iz a good joke. Sum
marry in haste, and then set down and
think it carefully ovpr. Sum think it care
fully over fust, and then set down and mar
ry. B >th ways are right if they hit the
mark. Some marry coquettes. This is like
buying a poor farm, heavily mortgaged,
and working the balance ov yore days to
clear oph the mortgages. But, after all,
married lif<* iz full as certain as dry-goods
business. Ivno man kan swear exactly
whrr he will letch up when he touches cali
co. Rno man kan telljist what calico has
made up its mind to do next. Cadco don’t
kn->w herself. Dry goods ov all kinds iz
the child ov circumstansrs. The man who
stands <wn the Y ank shivering, and dussent,
iz more apt to ket h cold than him who
pitches his head fust into the river. If
enryhody asks you whi y u got married (if
it needs be), tell him you don’t recollekt.
