MACON, FEBRUARY 22, 1870.
Thanks—To the Washington Literary Society
of Washington College, Virginia, for an invita
tion to attend their anniversary celebration on
Tuesday the 22nd inst., and to the committee
of the Demosthenian Society of Franklin Col
lege at Athens, for a similar invitation on the
19th inst. . It would afford us much pleasure to
be present at both, but other engagements
forbid.
Memorial of Hon. Howell Cobb.
This is tho little of a very elegant volume
from the pross of Lippincott, at Philadelphia,
that has been laid on our desk by its editor, the
Bev. S. Boykin.
It embraces a bographical sketch, written by
Gen. Wm. Browne; the proceedings of meet
ings of citizens and members of the Bar at Ath
ens and elsewhere; the action of the Supreme
Court of the State, and of the United States Dis
trict Court, with letters from Wm. Hope Hull,
Dr. J. L. M. Curry, Judges Warner and Harris
and ethers, and the funeral addresses of Drs.
Key and Bentley, and Rev. Mr. Flynn.
As a tribute to the great Georgian, it will, we
are sure, be eagerly and gratefully accepted by
the people of a State with whose history his own
is so inseparably connected. It deserves, and
W6 hope will have, a place in every Georgian’s
household.
The editor, Mr. Boykin, has done his work
most faithfully, and deserves the highest credit
for his labors.
As a memento of one whose memory will be
fragrant in the recollection of thousands of
friends and admirers all over tho land so long as
their life lasts, wo welcome it as Friendship’s
offering. As a book, with the simple truth for
its basis, and telling its story with all the elo
quence of truth, we claim for it an honored place
in the literature of the day.
The Graphic.
We have, from Messrs. Havens & Brown, a
copy of this superb English illustrated weekly
paper. It is, by all odds, the most admirable
in every respect of all the illustrated papers
published in London. As for those of this
country, they are not even worth naming in con
nection with it Printed upon smooth, thick,
cream tinted paper, in type that it is a real lux
ury to read, and with the very finest cuts we
have ever seen, it must soon supersede all oth
ers with refined, cultivated people. We notice
that the New York illustrated papers regularly
copy from two to four of its engravings every
week.

Compliment
Lady.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Saturday, pub
lishes Mrs. Castlen’s poem, “Glorious Things
are Spoken of Thee, O City of God,” which first
appeared in the Telegraph and Messenger, with
the following just and beautiful tribute to her
genius, as a preface:
“Chiquita” is the nom deplume of the gifted
and accomplished Sirs. Castlen, of Macon, Geor
gia, who belongs to one of the best families of
that city, and who is a lady of great personal
charms and of superior social graces. She is
quite a young authoress, and for several years
her poetic gems have adorned the pages of our
popular literature, and have won golden opin
ions from the lovers of the true, the beautif ul
and good. That she has been endowed with
shining talents, and fine poetic sensibilities,
none can doubt; and it is equally evident that
time and application must place her among the
brightest stars in the American constellation of
female poets. We believe, if her life is spared,
that she is destined to be crowned with the
splendid honors of the poet laureate of the Em
pire State, and perhaps of the whole South. The
following poem from her vigorous and polished
pen abounds in the beautiful inspirations of po
etic genius and pious sentiment, and is the sure
presage of still more brilliant laurels to be
plucked from the peerless heights of Parnassus.
The Agency.
Our special from Atlanta contains one piece
of information that will please everybody—that
relating to adjournment. If the time could be
extended indefinitely, the public gratification
would rise in proportion.
For once in our lives we find ourselves agree
ing with Turner and Bradley in preferring mili
tary rule, to any such organisation and restora
tion to the Union as the crowd at Atlanta will
give us* They seem to fear the negro won’t
have his “rights” under admission now. We
are sure white men won’t, and therefore we say
territory, too.
Anyhow, an adjournment seems probable.
It may be sad news to the Atlanta “hasheries,”
but those who foot the bills will welcome the
respite.
Query.—The Atlanta New Era ’sums up tho
oomplexion of the Georgia press as K. K. Dem
ocrat and Bryant-Demoerat. To the Macor.
Telegragh and Messenger it gives no designs
tion at all. How i3 that ?—Constitutionalist.
Because the Telegraph and Messenger is nei
ther. Strange that so simple a solution of tbs
mystery should not have occurred to you before
asking the question.—Telegraph and Messen
ger.
How now, brother! Neither fish, fowl nor
devil ? If the Telegraph and Messenger is nei
ther Ku-KIux, Democratic or Bryant-Democrat
ic, then pray solve tho mystery, and tell us what
manner of thing it is. Democratic, we had hoped
and believed.—Rome Courier.
Et tu, Grady? Can’t you understand that
the Telegraph and Messenger only denied that
it was either K. K. or Bryant-Demoerat? And
don’t its editorial columns tell you what it is ?
Wake up! We make bold to say that the Rad
ical rapers and raiders of Georgia will give yon
any number of certificates that it is not -very
Radical.
“Ridicnlosity

Sumnzb told a World correspondent who in
terviewed him the other day, that in May last
he was authorized by General Prim to sell Cuba
' to the Cnban Junta, but that the latter was un
willing to pay the price demanded for the island.
The Junta named one hundred millions of dol
lars as the largest sum which the Cubans would
be willing to-pay for their independence.
“No State can be successfully governed, if at
all, from the base of Washington” says Father
Greeley, referring to Georgia. Exactly, just

Mr. Greeley’s friends all deny, and have estab

Jessie Benton Fremont speaks in this cruel

often at CoL Benton’s house, not as an amanu
ensis, but, as Mr. Benton himself said to some
one who objected to his Uriah Heep style of
manner, “Every public man must have a ferret,
and Corbin is mine.’"
•eft Horrid.—A dispatch of the 10th, to the Nash-

, At about five o clock this evening, our town
was thrown into great excitement, caused by
the accidental shooting and killing of Mrs. Ii.

a lad of about fourteen. The boy is now a rav-

Situations In Georgia.
We have an illustration of the business stag
nation in the North and East, and the want of
employment by men willing and anxious to la
bor in the number of letters of inquiry about
Georgia, which reach us from those sections.
We have four before us this morning asking as
many questions, nearly, as they contain lines,and
most of them going to show that the writers con
template merchandising on a small scale, or
have an eye to some speculative operations—
enterprises which we have no desire to encour
age or multiply in the Southern country.
There are abundance of shops, big and little,
scattered all over the South and engaged in vend
ing groceries and drygoods, and nothing will be
gained by increasing their number. Generally,
in our larger towns, there is, we suppose, an
adequate supply of mechanics in all the ordi
nary handicrafts. We often hear of tailors,
shoemakers, carpenters, blacksmiths, and so on,
needed in the smaller towns, and probably in
most of them active, enterprising and accom
plished tradesmen might do welL Scattered
aronnd in the country itself, at or near the cross
roads, there are, no donbt, many advantageous
positions for millers, blacksmiths and wheel
wrights, where they might improve their condi
tions and lead comfortable and comparatively
easy lives, especially by connecting with their
operations thj tillage of a small tract of land.
The fact is, there is scarcely any point in the
South where an industrious mechanic and labor
ing man could not realize a comfortable sub
sistence from his labor, and do a good deal bet
ter with the exercise of an ordinary amount of
that energy, shiftiness and thrift which charac
terize the American workingmen as a class.
Bnt it is not to mechanics, clerks and small
traders with little or no capital, that the South
now offers many and good situations and ad
vantages. The places for these classes must
multiply, increase and improve under a natural
and steady development of wealth and progress.
The Southern farmer mnst first produce a sur
plus capital from the soil, which, seeking an in
vestment in domestic manufactures and trade
shall furnish employment and salaries to accom
plished clerks and mechanics of all kinds. The
people will naturally devote their surplus earn
ings to the production of those manufactured
articles which will enjoy a double bounty from
the saving of freight both ways. For example:
if it is not clear, it ought to be, that a sensible
people, with money in their hands, will not long
ship timber North and have it made np into
tubs, buckets, wagons and plantation utensils
generally, and then shipped again Sontb, and
sold to them wilh the expense of two costly
freights added to the cost of manufacture.
But all this and other classes of manufactures
are yet to be the naturiil outgrowth of a sound
economy from a condition of pecuniary ease
yet to bo developed by a gainful agriculture.
The South offers no “situations” worth talk
ing about outside of her agricultural fields. In
these,' if any man will work with energy and
sagacity, he may glean a crop worth from fifty
to two hundred dollars to the acre, from land
which cost him five dollars or less to the acre.
If any young man of pluck can rent or buy
a hundred acres of these'lands, a mule and
plough, and subsist himself while growing a
crop, he should be able with his own labor to
produce with ease a market crop worth five to
seven hundred dollars, and breadstuffs id abun
dance for his own necessities. His road to pe
cuniary ease and independence is straight and
open with such an acquisition, and just here is
where Georgia offers innumerable “first-class
situations.”
Now, as to the prices of land, climate, pro
ductions, etc., about which inquiries are made,
let those who ask these questions take a map
and look at Georgia—extending from latitude
35 down South 300 miles, and embracing fifty-
seven thousand square miles of territory. Here
is almost every variety of climate, soil, produc
tion and temperature. You may have anything
you want; and as to the price of lands the whole
bulk of them aro cheaper on an average than
government land at §1 23 per acre, if you count
clearing and improvements at anything like
their actual value.
The Wars or tlie Amazons.
It seems the wars of the Amazons are to be
revived in a fight over the Sixteenth Amend
ment of the Constitution of the United States.
Lucy Stone, Sweet Lucy Stone, has just scintil
lated a lightning flash of eloquence at Chicago,
demanding a Sixteenth Amendment of the Con
stitution, extending the right of suffrage to
women. Electrified by her eloquence the Con
vention roso as one woman, and unanimously
demanded the Amendment.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Gen. Sherman, like a good
lady whose domesticity smacks of the unrelent
ing sternness of the thirty-nine articles of war,
has taken up the gauntlet and boldly confronts
our dear Lucy upon tho main question. Mrs.
Sherman says the women do not want, and will
not accept the suffrage, and it is now high time
for them to say so and put a stop to Lucy’s
nonsense.
Lucy’s eyes flash fire at the insinuation, and
wo have read her remonstrance with tears in our
eyes. Mrs. Livermore, too, makes some adroit
allusions to the cunning craftiness of the men,
who dress up political authority in feminine ha
biliments—who make Liberty herself a woman,
and monnt her upon tho dome of the Capitol—
a fair specimen of a likely negro wench—who
stamp her on the coins when there are any
about, and speak of the State and National
governments as “she,” and yet basely deny the
first function of political authority to women.
Just like the deceitful creatures.
But thank God, says the lovely Livermore tho
men have still this much of grace left—that when
they stamp these base rag representatives of
coin called treasury notes or shinplasters, they
dare not put a figure of a woman upon them.
They print them with Lincoln's head—or some
thing of the sort. The women they reserve for
coin and solid metaL Ah, Livermore, they
have put the figure head of a cross, ugly, old
witch even on the new ten cent, shinplasters,
and this insult to the sex made us a woman’s
right advocate at once. The sex has never yet
received such a blow, since nigger suffrage, as
when they put the old witch’s head on the ten
cent, shinplaster and called her the Goddess of
Liberty. On the whole, signs aro alarming. We
shall await the onslaught anxiously.

A Big Railroad Swindle in Florida.— A
Washington special to the Herald says the car
pet-bag legislators of Florida have just passed
a bill to aid a railroad in that State in the shape
of an eight per cent. State bond to the amount
of about five million dollars. Nearly all the
bonds are to be delivered before any expendi
tures are made on the road in way of construct
ing it. It is stated that ’the parties having this
railroad project in charge obtained in tho same
manner some six million dollars in bonds from
the State of North Carolina, with the promise
that they would build a road in that State,
thus far the promise has not been redeemed.

Warranted to Bnn Five Tears.
Ames, the bayonet-elected Senator from the
so-called State of Mississippi, assured the Presi
dent that he had so swindled and bullied the
people, and manipulated the officers of the State,
that she would be Radical at least five years.
He had wound up the clock, was his boast, and
it was bound to tick Radical for that period.
This is Ames’ calculation. We have heard of bet
ter laid plans of “mice and men” getting upset,
and we are not without hope that this one will
be smashed in much less than five years.
But the important point in the statement is
Ames’ frank confession of his lack of faith in the
negro’s sticking to the Radical party longer than
that time. His party organs are much exer
cised over it. They were hugging the belief that
Radicalism was to rule, and riot, and fatten for
ever on Southern spoils,by the aid of negro votes
—that Coffee was glued to the party for good
and all, and that nothing more was necessary
down here than to enter in and enjoy their re
ward. To these Ames’ statement is like the
apples of Sodom. They spit it ont with • all
manner of grimace and disgust. Let them
howl. Sweeter musio could not be sounded
for Southern ears. When the day comes
that we send an unbroken delegation of hon
est men from the Sonth who shall hate and
loathe radicalism and all its works and ways,
then the cap stone of oar trinmph will have
been firmly laid, indeed. If Ames lives five
years, we think he will find events rapidly crys-
talizing his rather doleful prediction into a
glorious and retributive reality.
Commenting upon Ames’ statement, the St.
Louis Democrat (Radical,) evidently disgusted
and disheartened, says:
Truly, if that is the only security for her loy
alty, wo may as well call reconstruction a farce.
We do not know whether members of Congress
who voted for negro suffrage had any clear idea
what they were trying to do or not. But we
know that we advocated that policy of recon
struction, because we-badfaith tbatif the whole
people were admitted to vote in the long run
the rights of the whole people would be better
protected, and the States would grow up more
rapidly into genuine loyalty than could be ex
pected under any other policy. We have some
lingering notion of that sort still, and are a
little amazed to see that so many Republicans
in Congress have apparently concluded that the
negro suffrage policy was a failure and a blun
der, and cannot be relied upon for any good re
sult.
Mississippi will come in, and Revels (colored)
will sit in the seat of J. Davis. But if General
Ames is right, and if General Butler is right,
all the conditions in the world will not accom
plish that change which Congress expected to
accomplish by the simple enfranchisement of
the loyal blacks.
RIcketly Legislatures in the Sonth.
The reconstructed Legislatures in the South
are not a source of pride to tho Republican
party. Ben Butler himself conld not look upon
them and say truly in his benevolent way,
“Bless ye, my children.” Greeley no doubt
execrates and curses them in his heart of
hearts, while Sumner alone, whose heart de
lights in war and strife, may be able to look on
with inward satisfaction. The Louisiana Legis
lature is engaged, it would seem, in a general
game of grab. The Governor, from bis own
statement, seems to be tho only honest public
official in the State, and he i3 so unexceptionally
honest that he refused one hundred thousand
dollars in bribes merely for signing bills. The
dusky members, besides, have licensed all sorts
of Sunday games, of which Southern darkies
are so fond, until it is reported that the princi-
pal streets of New Orleans are luminous wilh
signs of “Faro, Keno, &o., Played Here.”
In the Florida Legislature the little game of
impeachment has been played again, the Gov
ernor being the party on trial. He was acquitted
but he telegraphed immediately to his represen
tative in Congress to say that all the federal
Radical office-holders worked solidly against
him. The Alabama Legislature, with a heavy
carpet-bag majority, has been quarrelling with
the Governor over the proper mode of spelling;
the North Carolina Legislature anti her Gov
ernor an Auditor, between them, have placed
the credit of the State in danger ; Mississippi
threatens to put the Senatorial Radicals in a
dilemma by sending a colored member to the
United States Senate; the Arkansas Legisla
ture and Governor Clayton had to carry on a
guerilla warfare for months before they could
secure their positions, and Georgia—well, when
we speak of Georgia even Philosopher Greeley’s
capacity for swearing fails to do justice to the
subject.
This is a very poor showing for four years of
reconstruction. The system pursued by the rad
icals aimed especially at bringing the States back
so thoroughly republican that they would never
give us any more democratic trouble. But even
this has not succeeded. The States are only re
publican for the moment. The present Legis
latures are enough to blot out all the republican
ism in the South, and the radical leaders in Con
gress seem to know it, for they have tried to
patch Virginia together so as to be sure of her,
and are still trying to patch Mississippi in the
same way. In fact, the whole reconstruction
system has resulted in a thing of shreds and
patches that the radicals cannot trust. They
fear that Reed, of Florida, is a broken reed;
that the radicalism of Smith, of Alabama, is
mythical; that Holden, of North Carolina, does
not feel much beholden to the party; that Bul
lock, of Georgia, is likely to gore his own
friends, and that Warmoutb, of Louisiana, like
Dawes, is talking too much out of school.—JV.

Diet-Eating on a Big Scale.—Under Butler’s
bill, providing for a general removal of political
disabilities, “repentant rebels” have to got down
very flat npon their bellies, and eat most vora
ciously of dirt.
First, they must tell where they live and all
about themselves, and what particular “crime”
they were guilty of as rebels, winding up with
a most piteous asseveration that they never will
do so again. Then they are required to “pray”
to be restored to all their rights, and all they
have lost by their “wrongful conduct.” Then
a notice must be published in tho papers that
on such a day they will be heard on their peti
tion, and have their own donbtfnl veracity bol-
stored by witnesses, if they have any. Then,
if they moke out their case and prove -them
selves worthy of Radical mercy, publication of
the fact is made, and they stand forth “re
deemed, regenerated, disenthralled” and free—
to vote the Radical ticket Does the picture
please those who are hungering and thirsting af
ter a lick at the Radical spoils pot ?
We know a simpler road to grace than this.
Let them prove themselves ready to wallow in
moral and political filth withont a wink or a
heave, and they will need no petition or pnblio
whitewashing. They will have then shown them
selves imbued with the genuine spirit and wor
thy the highest honors of Radicalism.

Sumner on Cuba.
A World correspondent has an interview with
Senator Sumner, and obtains hi3 views on the
topic of the recognition of Cuban beligerency.
The Senator is strongly opposed to the recogni
tion as the case now stands, and gives as one
reason, that it would instantly involve ns in a
war with Spain, and as a consequence, n finan
cial 'crisis would ensue that would shake the
pillars of the government to their very founda
tion ; besides he is not sure as to which would
come ont first best in the event of a contest be
tween, the United States and Spain.. Mr. Sum
ner believes, however, that both Cuba and Can
ada will'be peaceably annexed to the Union
within ten years, and that we shall also absorb
Mexico, the West Indies and the whole North
American continent. ' We have the moral right
not only to this continent, but to the whole of

The Tbeasury Cotton Cases—When did the
Wab Close ?—A number of these cases from
the Court of Claims are now on argument be
fore the United States Supreme Court, among
which is that of the United States vs. Henry
Grossmeyer, which was the first case tried be
fore the Court of Claims, and raises tho most
important questions. The Court of Claims
found Grossmeyer to have been loyal during the
war, and to have been entitled to forty-eight
bales of cotton in payment of a debt due before
the war, and which had been stored for his use
at Savannah, Ga. The cotton was seized by
General Sherman's army, and was sent to Now
York and sold, and the proceeds, about §8,000,
were paid into the Treasury.
Suit was brought to recover the amount, and
the main question was whether the suit had been
brought within two years after the close of the
war. This question rendered it necessary to
determine when the war closed. The Court of
.Claims held that the determination of that ques
tion belonged to the political department of the
government, and that its decision was conclu
sive upon the courts. It also found that by the
decision of this department it closed on .the
20th of August, 18GG, upon the President’s pro-
dajnation to that effoct, and that Congress had
recognized that fact by the act of March 2,1867--
From: this judgment in favor bf tho claimant
appeal was taken to this court.— Washington

A delegation of Georgians, olaiming to be
Republicans, but opposed to Governor Bullock’s
policy, were for a long time before the Senate
Judiciary Committee to-day. Governor Bul
lock and the delegation were also present. Hon.
J. H. Caldwell and Colonel Biyant made state
ments setting forth that they were not there as
partisans, bnt came to make an appeal in be
half of the people of Georgia and trust to Con
gress for the remedy. That Georgia had in
good faith carried ont the Reconstruction Acts
up to the time the negro members were ex
pelled. That prior to that time no question as
to the legality of the Legislature or of any of
its acts had been raised, bnt, on the contrary,
its validity had been acknowledged by General
Meade, Governor Bollock, General Grant, and
even Congress in the admission of representa
tives to seats. That during this time nearly all
the officers of bothHouses elected were Republi
cans. That the election of Mr. Miller for the
short term in the Senate was a clear majority,
even counting off all who voted for him and
have since been declared ineligible. That they
(the gentlemen here) had deprecated the expul
sion of the negro members, andhad pronounced
the act unconstitutional and unjust That many
of Governor Bollock’s party had voted for the
expulsion of the negroes; nevertheless, Gov.
Bullock had made this the occasion for an ap
peal to Congress in order to confer npon himl
self unusual powers, and failing to get such au
thority as he sought, he assumed additiona-
powers and had now come to get those powers
confirmed by Congress. That Bullock assnred
the United States Senators and State officers
and judiciary that they should all be re-elected
and reappointed. That official terms were to
be extended two years longer than was intended
at the election in April, 18G8. That the Gover
nor’s party had used this act as an inducement
among members of the Legislature, who are
paid nine dollars per diem, in order to get them
to support his policy. The delegation recited
seventeen alleged flagrant violations of the late
act of Congress.
After tiffs statement had been made, Gov.
Bullock was searchingly examined by the com
mittee, especially by Messrs. Conkling and Ed
munds who charged Gov. Bullock with having
deceived and misled Congress when here last
upon material points.
Bullock at first denied that he had made the
representations charged upon him, bnt the mem
bers of the committee insisted that he did make
the representations which had reference to un
seating the negro members and filling their
places.
Gov. Bullock and his delegation are to be
heard at the next meeting of the committee.
THE GEORGIA DELEGATION VISIT THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. Hill, Senator elect from Georgia, and a
delegation of the Georgia Legislature had an
interview with the President to-day. Messrs,
J. B. Caldwell, A. J. Williams, C. K. Osgood,
and J. E. Bryant (of the Legislature), N. S. An-
S er (State Treasurer), and Colonel John Bowles
colonel of a colored regiment during tho war),
were the delegation. All these gentlemen claim
to be thorough Republicans, and as such paid
their respects to the President.
Messrs. Hill nnd Caldwell stated that false
and erroneous impressions in relation to the
state of affairs in Georgia had been given to
the Executive and Congress by designing per
sons, and that they had come to correct some of
these statements. Mr. Hill said he was a Re
publican, had voted for General Grant, and yet
he had been represented as a rebel. Mr. Cald
well said that Mr. Bryant and himself had made
statements of the entire case of Georgia before
the Judiciary Committee this morning, and
asked the President if he would be pleased to
read them when published in pamphlet form, as
they would be in a day or two.
The President answered the remarks of the
gentlemen in a random conversational way, say
ing he had not expressed any opinion on the
senatorial question in Georgia, and that he did
not intend to interfere in the matter. He thought
Congress was able to attend to that matter. It
was thsir especial business, and not that of the
President. He again denied the newspaper
statement sent off by Bollock night before last,
that he had given his opinion that the Senators
should be elected over again. He invited the
gentlemen to come and see him again before
they returned to Georgia ; and turning to Mr.
Hill, said laughingly, “I expect to seo you very
often,” which is understood to mean that he
expected Hill to be seated.
THEY VISIT GENERAL SHERMAN.
The delegation withdrew and paid a visit to
Gen. Sherman at his headquarters. The Gen
eral received them warmly, and expressed de
light when informed of their interview with the
President and what he said. Gen. Sherman
reiterated tho opinion which he gave some
weeks since, that the present elected Senators
shonld be admitted; and when told that Senator
Conkling, in the Judiciary Committee this
morning, gave Gov. Bullock au open rebuke,
saying to him, “Yon have deceived us in refer
ence to some of the affairs in Georgia,” Gen.
Sherman laughed very heartily.
It is proposed to elect Senators next Tuesday.
If such be tho case, Messrs. Hill and Miller, the
present Senators elect, announce their intention
of contesting the matter before the United States
Senate.

New York Parsons Fighting the Devil
On his own Ground.
A New York special of the 9th, to the Courier-
Journal says: •.
This has been a great day among the city
missonaries. At two o’clock this after-noon the
first prayer meeting was held in Kit Bums’ rat
pit, on Water street, in the presence of a large
number ol fallen women, pickpockets, thieves,
and sailors, with a sprinkling of honest and
pious people. The place was dedicated by
Bishop Jones, in the front room, which was
formerly occupied as a bar, where poisonous
liquors were dispensed for years to thousands
of hardened criminals, and where Burns kept
his favorite dogs. The deoanters and casks have
given place to neat settees and tables, nnd the
pictures of noted prize-fighters and fighting
dogs, whioh once adorned the walls, have been
removed, leaving nothing bnt its reputation to
designate the previous character of the place.
The entire place has been changed into a
home for fallen women, and already six girls
who promise to reform occupy rooms in the es
tablishment. Daily prayer meetings are to be
held at noon. Kit Burns says he will let these
people stay there just so long as they pay the
rent. If they don’t,. Ijie’ll put the whole erew
out in less than so time. . He still rnns a liquor
saloon next door, and in order to reach the plat
form the ministers and others were obliged to
pass through his place much to the edification
of his assembled guests. Here the most blas
phemous language was indulged. in; and it is
quite possible that Kit’s conversion is as far off

The Virginia and Tennessee Air-Line
It is asserted on good authority that arrange
ments are about being perfected by which
through freight cars wilt run regularly from At
lanta to Norfolk, thus offering inducements to
merchants and shippers, which no other line ean
offer. Thus cars will run over what is known as
the great freight line via the Tennessee and Vir
ginia route, and it inclndes, as one important
link, the Western and Atlantic Railroad, which is
the property of the people of Georgia and from
which the State derives an immense annual rev
enue, greatly lessening the taxes upon the people.
Hence it is natural that the Era should support
any movement that promises to increase the
business of this road.—Atlanta Era, ] 3th.
“Immense annual revenue, greatly lessening
the taxes of the people!” Here’s “richness”
indeed. Has the man who penned that para
graph been reading A. Ward’s books lately ?
Such “sarkasm” would have delighted that la
mented joker. The declaration in the last sen
tence of the paragraph we are persuaded is not
“sarkasm,” however. That’s meant, every
word of it. The road and the organ are very
useful, not exactly to each other, bnt the first
to the latter. “Hence it is natural" that the
latter shonld rejoice to see the first make money.
But no more of that “immense annual revenue
lessening the taxes of the people,” if you please.
Such jokes are too good to be told often. They
lose flavor by repetition.
If the organ represented anybody but the
wicked, greedy faction that is ruining and plun
dering the State, we would ask where this ‘im
mense annual revenue” has been hiding ever
since September last ? What taxes have been
“lessened” for the months of October, Novem
ber, December and January—four of the heav
iest business months of the year ?
The Republican Storm Which is
Brewing.
From the New York Sun, 10th.
Three events have just occurred in Wash
ington which show how thoroughly the admin
istration is demoralized, and how widely the
Republicans in Congress are divided on impor
tant questions. Wc refer to the decision of
the Supreme Court on tho Legal Tender act,
the feeling in the Senate on Gen. Grant’s
nomination of Judge Strong and Mr. Bradley
to fill the vacancies in that Court, and the
vote in the House on Mr. Marshall’s resolu
tions against a protective tariff.
Of the seven Judges who pronounced upon
the Legal Tender act, five were appointed by
Mr. Lincoln, and when they were elevated to
the bench they were believed to be thorough
Republicans, and fully in accord with that
party on all the financial measures arising out
of the war, prominent among which stood the
act now called in question. But when this
measure is brought to the bar of the Court,
two of these Judges take one view of its fun
damental and vital provisions, and three take
another and totally different view. And we
have no doubt that their discordant opinions
reflect the sentiments which the Republicans
entertain on the same subject. They differ as
widely as the five Judges.
The nomination by the President of Messrs.
Strong and Bradley has brought out, and will
probably yet develop in a more marked de
gree, the hostile feeling which exists between
Gen. Grant and the Senate. This hostility is
largely due to the refusal of the Senate to
unite with the House in the repeal of the
Tenure-of-Office act,.a measure upon which
Gen. Grant had set his heart ere he took the
Presidential oath. The Senate will seize
every opportunity afforded by unfortunate
nominations, like those of Messrs. Strong and
Bradley, to prove to Gen. Grant that they in
tend to keep the check upon him which the
Tenure act has put in their hands. Of course,
he will grow restive under this; but it will
avail nothing except to intensify the hostility
between the Executive and Senate.
Perhaps, however, the vote of the House
on Mr. Marshall’s resolutions brings more
prominently into view the wide differences of
opinion in the Republican ranks on the issues
of the future than either of the other matters
we have mentioned. The resolutions aimed a
blow at the long-cherished tariff policy of the
party. This is one of the main issues on which
sanguine members of the party were relying
to rally its forces, now that the great contro
versies growing out of the war are passing
away. And yet, on the question of tabling
these resolutions, thirty Republicans from the
West voted with forty-seven Democrats
against this indirect and evasive mode of dis
posing of this vital matter; and among these
thirty were such leading names as Allison,
Judd, Lawrence, Julian, Benjamin, and In-
gersoll, who doubtless truly reflect the opin
ions of the Western Republicans on 'he sub
ject of protection. The resolutions were sent
to the table by only twelve majority. J f a di
rect vote could have been obtained, at least
ten more Republicans would have taken sides
with the Democrats, and Mr. Marshall's reso
lutions in favor of a purely revenue tariff
would have been adopted.
These gales are forerunners of the storm
which is sure to shipwreck the Republican
party ere the next Presidential eltc'ion, unless
it promptly drives from the helm the incom
petent and inexperienced pilots who now un
dertake to direct its affabrs.
Dry Goods.
The transactions of the last week have not
yet been on a large scale in domestic fabrics;
but prices have been well maintained, and the
tendency has been toward higher rates in
standard cottons, greatly to the relief of some
purchasers who had laid in a heavy stock in
anticipation of a rise.
In bleached sheetings and shirtings the
business has improved moderately, and stan
dard makes have advanced about one-half
cent a yard, and are firmly held at the advance.
Bleached shirtings and sheetings are less
active than brown goods; prices are barely
steady, but an advance is looked for as the sea
son opens. New York Mills aro selling at
22£cents; Manvilll00at20; NewmarketW,
17 cents; do. C. 14}; Howe Man. Col5£ less
5 per cent.
Denims and cottonades are rather more ac
tive, and prices may he quoted at an advance
on last week’s sales at about 1 cent a yard.
Amoskeag denims are held by manufactu
rers’ agents at 29 cents; New York Mills at
30 cents; Lewiston brown do. 2S cents; Oak-
lank brown B, 17. _
Printing cloths in the gray are compara
tively inactive, sales being confined chiefly to
the requirements of printers for immediate
use. Eight cents is about tho top of the mar
ket for 64 standard quality.
The demand for ginghams has been more
spirited, and the early sales have pretty well
cleaned out the supply from first hands. Lan
casters are quoted at 17 cents, Everetts at 17
cents, Glasgow 16 cents, Caledonians, 14 cents.
Printed lawns and percales are in good sup
ply, but the season is rather too early for a
good demand. The new styles are generally
satisfactory, but the sales are too small yet to
establish prices firmly.
There is an increasing demand for muslin de
laines, and the new spring styles attract much
attention,
Seasonable woolens are doing better, and
there is an increased demand tor black cloths
for the spring trade. _
Cassimeres and satinets are in moderate de
mand only. Fancy cassimeres and fine grades
are selling fairly, and the market is dull for the
lower grades.
Kentucky jeans are dull, and prices afe
merely nominal. Richmond jeans are quoted
at 324 cents. . ; -
Flannels are- without change, the demand
being confined to orders to keep up assort
ments. 1» H -.inoq -(lift j 0l , Jjnictffi j e
American linens are steady. Stock Com-
lany’s unbleached crash is quoted at 15 cents
or 16-ineh and 17 cents for 20-inch. United
States Flax Company’s crash is held at 11 and
12 cents; 4.months, for narrow ;'and 12, 13
for wide brown and bleached.
The transactions in foreign dry goods are
thus far on a limited scale. _ The market is very
abundantly supplied, and importers are antic
ipating a lively spriug business; but jobbers
purchase sparingly and mth great caution,
