ilia con iliitlij £ ntrr prise. Stevenson - & Smith, Proprietors, 'flie Prench Under Thlera and Napoleon. We read the following little paragraph iu the New Orleans Picayune : According to the statute# of th# an cient order of the “ Golden Fleece,” Pres ident Thiers was obliged to wear mourn ing for Napoleon the 111. If there is any “ mockery of woe ” surpassing this speci men of cliivalric sorrow we have never met with it, and it adds somewhat to its oddity that, if “ Plon Plon ” fails in his claim of citizenship, Thiers—as we ob serve by the late telegrams—gives notice of his intention to propose a law banish ing the Bonapartes from France.” The idea of Thiers proposing a law ban ishing the Bonapartes from France is truly refreshing ! France! who calls the name without the recollection of Napoleon the Great? And who not wish that a genius like his could arise to day, seize the standards of her defeated and humil iated army and once more place the coun try lirst among the nations of the earth ! Thiers and his Republic are simply matters of sufferance. Their sustenance and source of life depends wholly upon the jealously of Bourbon and Bonaparte. Each prefering Thiers to the other he is kept alive and tolerated in this way and this only. In a minority of either getting possession of the governmont by a species of cowardice and meanness, In that he seized the reins at the moment its legitimate head was taken a prisoner of war whilst defending the country on its frontier, he has no real sympathy in any quarter either inside or outside of France. We will be glad to hear at any time of his downfall and expulsion from that country. A creature of circumstance rather than merit, unfit to follow much less to lead, his failure and disgrace is simply a question of time. It may be true that France does not to day need the services of any man bearing the name of Bonaparte, but if there ever was a lime when a nation called fora mas ter hand and a mastef mind like that ef the great Corsican, that time is now. Death of Mrs. Bennett and Chas. M. B ARRAS.— Dispatches to the Western press announce the dfiath of Mrs. Janies Gordon Bennett, who was the wife of the distinguished founder of the New York Herald, and the mother of its present owner and manager. Also that Chas. M. Barras, author of Black Crook and other productions which have elicited great attentifn on the stage and the severest criticisms, leaped from a railway train at Hartford, Conn., a few days since, and received injuries from which death ensued. Georgia Honored. —The telegrams from Washington announce that Vice- President Wilson called Gen. J. B. Gor don to the chair on the 25th. This is the first time that an Ex-Confederate has been called to preside over the Senate. Wheth er the Vice-President extended this cour tesy from feelings of respect to a brave and true man, or whether he calculated to make capital, is a matter of but small con sequence to us, for we have no laudation for Wilson for this act; we think he has only done his duty. Whilst there is noth ing in this movement that foreshadows anything bettter for the South, yet we re joice to know that Georgia has, after long weary years, been honored. We expect when the chieftain’s voice is joined by the statesmen’s eloquence, in defense of the South, (if she be assailed in Congress) that the miserable calumniators of an honest people will grow pale with fear, and re cognize the superiority of virtue, intelli gence and worth over corruption, mean ness and ignorance, and concede to our members, that position in the counsels of the country that is merited. —Monroe Ad vertiser. Earlt Spring in Minnesota.— The St. Paul Press of the 20th says : Mr. E. p. Evans. ofGarden City, who has just returned from a tour through the coun ties of Blue Earth, Watonton and Fari bault, informs us that the farmers in that part of the State were engaged as early as the 13th inst., in putting in their wheat crops. He saw scores of teams harrow ing in the just sown fields of wheat. The ice had entirely disappeared out of the Upper Minnesota and its tributaries in that district. The prairies were already clad with fresh verdure, and the straw berryrines were putting on their green garments. Anew England paper describes a“board ing marm” whose econominal tendencies led her to place her boarders upon an allowance of matches. Every evening at teia she goes round and places a single match at the plate of each boarder, and should that match fail, there is no appeal to the match safe. In the “ Literary Life of William Har ness,” that genial writer teils of a tutor to Hope’s son, the author of “ Anastatius,” whom he one day found pacing up and down the room in great agitation of mind, “Is there anything the matter?” in quired Mr. Harness, anxiously. “The matter,” he replied, “I should think there was ! Three of the worse that can possibly happen to a man ; I’m in love, I'm in debt, and I've doubts about the and octrine of the Trinity! ” A couple of deaf mutes in Atlanta, Ga., acting on the motto “Dumb vivimus viva mus,” were arrested last week for creating a disturbance in the public streets.

Another Wisconsin man has fallen a martyr to the law which allows a woman to procure a policy of assurance on her husband’s life. The companies remark that under the present mixed condition of chemical expert testimony it would be throwing good money after bad to dispute the claim, although they know where she bought the strychnine. A complete edition of the poems of Mary Queen of Scots is announced for publica tion. Forasmuch as the authorship of most of the Latin verses attributed to her is not all clearly settled, they will have to be “ taken on tick ” —Romantic. An enamored Philadelphia lady has been convicted of petty larceny for abstracting his adored one’s carte de visite from her photograph album ; the Judge deciding that to steal a “carte” was as bad as to steal a horse. Peoria, Illinois, manufactured last year 88,331 barrels of “ high wine,” which, temperance people think, accounts for the high wind prevailing in that locality. MACON, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1873. Probable Royal Marriage. —Tliero seems to be very little doubt that the oft reported and us often denied urrangemout for the marriage of the Duke of Edinburg with the only daughter of the Czar has been actually made. Ou the very night upon which the Gladstone Government went out of office the Premier received at a private dinner the Duke of Edinburg, aud at this dinner, it is understood, the final details of the arrangements for the marriage were discussed and decided upon. The Grand Duchess Maria was born Octo ber 5-17, 1853, and is the fourth child of the Emperor Alexander and the Empress Maria (aunt by marriage to the Princess Alice). The Princess is said to be a most accomplished linguist, and it is understood that sho will inherit the whole of her mother's substantial private fortune. Nothing is said yet with regard to the “ religious difficulty,” The Greek Church consigns to never ending torture all per sons who do not confess her creed nor be long to her communion, and the Grand Duchess Maria will have the satisfaction of knowing that her husband will, accord ing to her hereditary faith, be doomed to everlasting agony, lint this is not likely to make any difference. 'flic Richmond Whig says that sixty live charters for railroads have been gran ted since the war, not otie of which lias been constructed or is in process of con struction. Hence it opposes the free rail road law.which it declares “does uot mean more railroads, but the absorption and control of existing roads.” The right sort of a free or general railroad law is just what every State should have. The law should reserve the question of freight and fares to the Legislature of the State ; pre scribe stringent provisions for the rights of person aud property, and specify distinctly that the properly-constituted authorities may at any time interfere to prevent ex tortion or unfair discrimination.— Wash ington Chronicle. A writer in the Pall Mall Gazette has been figuring up the debts of the world, and come to the conclusion that the ag gregate iudebtedness of all nations reaches the respectable total of $1,000,000, 000, at an annual interest rate of 4 1-2 per cent. This involves a burden of $945,000, 000, a year, or translating it into a practi cal shape, implies that at the rate of SIOOO each, nearly a million men are living on the interest of the money that governments owe them. ■ ♦ The only seaport of the Uuited States employing more American than foreign tonnage is San Francisco, Cal. In 1872, American vessels brought into San Fran cisco goods valued at nearly $30,000,000, while foreign vessels brought less than $10,000,000. The grain exports last year employed vessels with 124,033 American tonnage aud 101,440 foreign tonnage— these grain cargoes nearly all being bound to ports on the Atlantic. The advance in gold to 117 is the sub jectof varied and excited discussion among Wall street operators. The advance is generally attributed to the machinations of a strong “ bull ” party, assisted by a great demand for gold ou the part of im porters. There is also au uneasy feeling lest the Government shall be short in gold when the May and June interest falls due. There are feverish rumors of a mammoth combination for a huge corner in gold at about that time, and a desperate ellort to inaugurate another “ Black Friday.” IMPORTANT TO CAPITALISTS! rp JL IIE City Bank is authorized to receive sub scriptions for the State Bonds authorized to be issued by an Act of the last Legislature. The Bonds to have the following strong points to commend them to such as ore seek ing investments : They bear eight percent, interest. They are free from all taxation, and irrepeal able provision is made in the act of authoriza tion for the prompt payment of the interest and the Bonds as they fall due. Wall street says the State of Georgia has no credit since the report of the Bond Committee in 1872.
