Um DAILY gfITEIYPRISE Prßl.lHßl) BTEHY MoiiNINU MV STEVJENSON & SMITH. EIMTOItS ANIt PnurHIBTOKH. APRIL !. 187:* Thk particular friend of Ocnrgia. Henry Clewt, gave Grant a grand blow out at Delmonico's, last Saturday. It lasted un til 2 o’clock Bunday morniug. It cost SIO,OOO, but whether the hill was footed by counterfeit Georgia bonds is not stated. Hut ns that class of securities is just now at a horrid discount, we presume they were not otfered. Lett Etta containing sl, will be an swered. otherwise they are not read.— Ad. of l)r. Jonet. His terms are too high We hog to he excused. If the mail service of the United Htales was reduced to thete conditions and depended on us for existence, it would starve. ■ ■ Kant (TioN of Gas Bills.—The New Jersey and other Northern Legislatures are puzzling themselves altoul the cost ol gas, and trying to make laws to force the price down. Nature has already answered the question—use coal oi} instead it is no less than eighty-dye percent, cheaper. Gas has beeu nearly abolished In this city except by public institutions. It is very doubtful if it makes any Iteltcr light thau is now supplied by the modern lamp, whilst there is no comparison as to the cost of the two. We used to pay a gas bill of seventy five dollars per month, which now does not cost ten. And still business goes on about as usual, lalth pretty good, and the material item of cash balances, very sensi lily effected. . Modhkn Journalism —The New York lleruld bei'ere us contains uo less tban ninety-six columns of closely printed read ing matter. And this for ouly one day ! Were it drawn out into book form the volume would contain live hundred pages of brevier type. How such a vast amount of brain work and mechanical labor can be performed in the space of twouty four hours ia one of the wonders of this century. Hut the Herald has fifty editors, one hundred reporters and two hundred compositors in its various departments. Tliero seems uo limit to Journalism in the metropolitan city of the United Slates Its public is so sensitive to>enterprise that every energy is rewarded with success. It takes five or six cashiers iu constant at tendance to receive the money over the counters of the Herald. The entire daily transactions of every house iu Macon does not amount to its business. Twn l'ut The following tabular statement is both neat, concise, relevant, correct nnd In teresting. It shows that Glynn county, Georgia, has recently been in a law suit about the Brunswick uml Albany Railroad The item is musical.

The recent decision of the Supreme Court of the Uuited States tliat the law commonly known as “ the Homestead'' was not constitutional, and is therefore null and void, reopens the tloodgates of litigation in Georgia. Many homes, many estates, many possessions are held to-day under no other title than tho relief af forded by this law. The decision of the great judges of this country is based upon the bread ground that a retroactive law is never right. Nor is it. The validity of contracts own rarely be disturtfed with justice In the name of justice. Many citizens bare called at our office to know wliat will be the effect of the de cisions We can only answer that it amounts to that a* if the homestead law never existed. That their property is as liable to-day for debt, as if the statutes had never been enacted. "It is declared un constitutional.” means that if It was ever cnforced.ii was done wrongfully, and if en forced hereafter, it will be done at tbe risk of .an outlaw. This law went upon onr statute books udder the Bullock or radical regime. And it does seem that eveiytbiug they did fails to stand the test of tbe crucible. The decision throws open cases regard ed as finally settled long years ago. No citizen resting under the supposed fact that j the homestead law was law, can read it ‘ without feelings of the liveliest interest to be sura. Thnr knmr Old Tune. The New York Herald bus kindly given us the following obituary of Capt. Jack, and a complete history in detail of his war witli the government of tire United States : “The Modoc Difficulty is evidently ap proaching an end. Our special corres pondent at the headquarters of General Canby scions to have little hope of a peace ful settlement. The troops are now in the lava beds and withiu a few miles of Cap tain Jack's position* so that, iu the event of the failure of the Peace Commissioners in their pow wow with the Indians, the boys in blue will be prepared to settle the valiant warriors' land oluim case in a sum mary manner. We may, therefore, short ly expect to hear of Die collapse of the Modoc rebellion and the despatch of the braves to the happy hunting grounds or some other Indian reservation.” The above is positively historical, and that hapless individual, “the future histo rian," must cut it and paste it in his scrap book . Hut. seriously, this government seems to buve as its chief propelling force whnt is best known iu the gambling room as “bluff.” If it lias any other title to respect or confidence, the Modoc war cannot be cited as evidence thereof. Here is a brave Indian llghing upon the broad principle that whilst God Almighty guarantees food lo the lion, ile has slso acknowledged that the jacks*4 is entitled to his living. This Indian is doing nothing but va- Isully defending bis laud aud his home from the incursions, the meanness and the power of a race which lias no respect for him in a question of justice, and when fighting him have been whipped. The policy of this government towards him is to first force him from the laud wbicli he first discovered and settled, and to balance the account with a few cheap prayers of Quaker Commissioners. And iu delivering these “prayers” the government iu turn, is swindled. Weak, helpless, pitiless Poland went down under the giant tread of the Musco vite, Hut, later! The lurid llamcs which lit up the Krcmaiu of Moscow pointed out the wrath of God. Aud so iu the historic parallel, we may see the Humes of Atlanta, of Columbia aud of Richmond. Ui* iu Chicago they aro very much ex ercised just because lust year the number of deaths was 10,15(1, while tho births only numbered 8,001 ; and they don’t know how to account for it.— Globe. Chieuguitcs go uway to be born nnd come home to die. Iu consequence of the wreck of the Atlantic, and an unusual number of ruilrond collisions between New York and Illinois, the naturul deficit iu the population is largo this year. -- ♦ The St. Louis Republican says : “It is amusing to note the joyous alacrity and the head line huzzas with which the Washington Chronicle announces of each senatorial culprit who escapes on a tech nicality, that lie has been “completely vindicated," and “triumphantly exoner ated." Senator Garland's organ seems to lie a perennial reservoir of this adjective whitewash, nnd places it with genofous profusion wherever it will do most good, But the prixlignlity, as it wero, with which the kalsomiuc was dia|ieiised to Clayton seems to have struck the New Y'ork Times as a wanton waste, nud that coryplieus of the organs remarks : ‘The investigation and thu Senate’s action upon it will not convince and of Clayton’s enemies that he Is a political saint, nud it will not war rant hie friends in pushing him forward as a model of a political reformer.’ And this reminds us of the fact that not one of the accused party leaders has been either •vindicated - or ‘exonerated’ in the opiuion of nil tho party organs. North Easton lias to condemn Colfax in order to vindi cate Ames ; South Bend has to condemn Ames to vindicate Colfax, and the gen eral voice denounces the whole flock of soiled doves in order to vindicate the de cencies of public life.” The Boston Globe, of the 28th, says : “Among other financial items is the announcement tliat tho French Govern ment w ill soon resume coining, which if true, will have considerable etiect upon the English gold market, and points to an early redemption of specie payments. Yet it seems scarcely credible that the Frcuch Government will seek this additional trou ble with all their present difficulties. Spe cie payments must he leturued to before loug. hut there can he uo immediate hurry when the credit of ihe Uovcruweut is so good aud tho Banker of France note is almost on a par with gold, the premium being ouly about two per thousand. Were it uot for the tact Hint effigies of crowned —and discrowned—heads aro not out of fashion, tlie Bank of Kttgland might assist the French Government in such au emer gency, as it holds about £10,000,000 of French gold coin." Very sad were many of tbe scenes Most of the women and children looked I ruddy and placid In the face as though j they had been awakened to die without ! being conscious of their death. The eyes of most of them wore open and no difficulty w ould be experienced in reeoguiziug some | of them A stranger could st a glance tell j the nationality of tlie dead he gazed on In one case a woman was seen lying on 1 the seaweed-covered rock, with her face upturned to the blue sky nnd grasping in a mother's death grasp a chubby faced infant, whose lips were still fastened to the foun tain whence lie had been drawing his supply of nourishment. Some sudden ; wave had probably swept tbe two into eternity while the|molhcr, careful for her ; child, was iu the act of quieting the ; infant. —Utoiy of the Wnrk of thr At ! lattli'c ♦ The ancient habitation in Raleigh, N.
