Tho Richmond Enquirer ia response to some strictures from the New York Tribuno upon tbo lack of sympathy expressed for the peoplo of Chicago by the South, resurrects the following correspondence: Office of The Chicago Republican, \ Chicago, December 7, 18C6. ) Mr*. E. A. F. Meats, Treasurer S. O. li. A., Mrs. C. V. Bax'ey, Acting Secretary 8. 0. It A—Esteemed Ladies : In response to your re quest for a contribution to build bouses for destitute children of deceased Confederate soldiers, please find inclosed $500 in the cur rency of tho deceased Confederacs. You say that "the shrinking delicacy and prido of the Southern people forbids the idea of conducting the establishment upon the principle or plan of ordinary charity.” We cordially coincide with this policy, and as ordinary charities are sup ported by “greenbacks,” you will appreciate that lcf-y sense of chivalric propriety which leads as to contribute to tho support of your enterprise a currency which is opposed in all respects to greenbacks. Yours, very truly, The Chicago Republican Company. The following answer was sent: Chicago, December 8, 1866. The Chicago Republican Company: Gentlemen : We are in receipt of your very liberal donation of $500 (Confederate money) in aid of Southern orphans, and for which you will please accept through ns tho acknowledg ment of destitute and starving children. We are women and strangers ia yonr city, and, as such, entitled to some little show of courtesy. We are not politicians, nor have we como hero to appeal to or attack your prejudi ces, political or religions. Oar appeal is to the gentle charities and human sympathies of a Christian people, irrespective of parly or sect. Yours is the first instance, since we left our homes upon this mission of lovo and charity, that an attempt has been made to insult U3 or our labors. Now let ns hear no more of "lack of Southern sympathy.” It may not be amiss to state, in this connection, that among the sufferers by the lato fire was this very Republican Company, and that, to tho best of our knowledge, it was so prostrated as not to have been able since to re establish itself. It may be very unchristian— of course it is exceedingly disloyal—to cherish such feelings, but really wo never felt more re signed in all our life, to any misfortune, than we do to this. In fact, we are rather cheerful, than otherwise. Florida Kens. The Fioridian, of last Tuesday, announces the sudden death, on the Saturday previous, of Hon. D. P. Hogue, a well known and eminent lawyer of Tallahassee. The same paper quotes from the Jacksonville Union (Radical) the re sult of the Ku-klux committee’s visit to Florida, as follows: The testimony given before tho committee, as to the commission of numerous political out rages and the lawless condition of certain counties in this State, was direct and explicit, and will, we believe, not only receivo the im mediate consideration of the President, but will secure such protection as may be needed for all classes of citizens. No doubt, Florida is a grand centre of “political outrages” of tho moat atrocious character, but they are perpetrated by the black and white rascals, to whom Governor Reed acts as Grand Cyclops. There was a light fro3l in Tallahassee on Thursday, the 16th instant. Seven deaths from yellow fever have occurred at Ceedar Keys since the 12th instant. Yon Rullen, a native of Belgium, has purchased 312,000 acres of tho “Forbes purchase” in Wakulla and Libertycouaties, for the purpose of colonizing emigrants from Alsace and Lorraine. Thirty have already settled there. The Polatka Herald represents that there will bo about half a crop of oranges in East Florida this year, tho trees hav ing been partially denuded of fruit in the late severo gale., The oranges are large and finely flavored. The Climax Reached.—It has been reserved for that fngitive brigand, Bullock, to climb to the topmost pinnacle of the column of “cheek.” Others of his stripe have essayed it heretofore, but none it seems to us have been entirely successful. But who will dare dispute his claims in the face of the following, which we find in the Washington Patriot, of Monday: Governor Bullock, defending himself from the outcry against him, denies that he has profited to any material extent by the pecula tions in which he took a hand. “I had-to wink at the stealing around me,” he said, and pre tend to take my share. If I hadn’t done so, the knavish carpet-baggers and scalawags, with whom I was forced to associate, would have stolen me bodily t" What have Blodgett, Gaskill, el al to say to this cruel speech ? Fbed Douglass was the Radical candidate for Assembly in tho second district of Monroe county, New York. The official returns are as follows: Senate. Assembly. Willers (Dem.)...5,013 Lord(Dem.) 5,436 Scribner (Rep.). .4,893 Douglass (Rep.).4,250 Dem. maj 145 Dem. maj 1,186 Over six hundred Republicans voted for Scrib ner who did not vote for Fred Douglass. This is an illustration of Radical love for the negro. In the South the Radicals court the negro, and often vote for and elect him to office, but in the North, where there are but few negroes, the white Radicals have no use for them except as voters. “Governor Conley.” From tho Telegrepli and Messenger, November 1 ] In his official proclamation Mr. Conley signs himself “ Governor of Georgia." There is nothing in the facts or in the Constitution to justify his assumption of that title. The Con- stitntion, in the nrticlo we havo quoted else where, is very carefnl not to designate him os Governor. It only declares that npion the given contingency, he ehall “exercise executive pow ers”—that is to say, he shall be acting Gov ernor. And this has a meaning to it. The Constitution does not fill the Executive vacancy with the President of the Senate ; but leaves it still a vacancy to be filled by special election, if the General Assembly shall order it. Read the clanse, and yon will see that this view of the matter is very clear. Conley’s claim to be “ Governor” is, therefore, more usurpation. At the most he can only act as Govemer, until the Governor’s successor is elected, etc., either by special or regular elec tion, according to the authority conferred on the General Assembly by the last clause of that section. But Conley had a pnrposs in declaring him self “Governor.” He has usurped the office and doubtless he moans to hold oa to it—means to defeat a special election, if ordered by tho Legislature, and if he cannot do that, to hold on to his usurped title and its functions by force of Federal intervention, if he can procure it; and declare the effort to enforce the Constitu tion an act of rebellion. We are afraid there is trouble ahead. The above editorial was written before the meeting of the Legislature, and when, as yet, this attempted usurpation by Conley had been foreshedowed only by a little Executive order, in which Conley signed himself Governor of Georgia. Nothing, therefore, which has since occurred, and nothing likely to occur in the way of backing this atrocious usurpation with Federal bayonets, is likely to surprise the Tele graph and Messenger. We recommended the Legislature to pass this election bill in fall view of oil the probable or possible conse quences; and now with the most sincere and heartfelt desire for the tranquility of the State and her repose from Federal intervention and Federal tyranny, we still insist that it is the solemn duty of tho Georgia Legislature to ex haust every possible remedy against this auda cious usurpation. Tho Legislature could not blamelessly praetermit the exercise of their plain constitutional powers for the protection of the people under any threat of Federal bayo nets, nor can it when bayonets come, if they do come, fail to exercise all the legal powers in their hands, to disarm this usurper for mis chief. If Conley thwarts the provisions of the election bill, passed over his veto, or refuses to perform any of the duties the bill devolves upon him, he becomes a fit and proper subject for impeachment. If, after this, he still maintains his seat by Federal intervention, no appropriation bills should be passed, and every resort of legislation shonld be had to prevent any increase of the public indebtedness daring this usurpation* In a word, the Legislature shonld maintain its position with unalterable firmness, combined with prudence and self- possession. As to the probability that the threats of Con ley’s Atlanta organ will be verified by an actual military possession of the Executive Chair of Georgia, there will be a difference of opinion We havo little donbt that before Conley sent in his veto he did get some assurance from Aker- man that the Administration would back tbfs usurpation with a military force. Something might be gained to Grant, either by throwing out the Presidential vote of Georgia altogether, or by patting it into the hands of a friendly and reckless manipulator in Grant’s interest. But it is a fact which can no loueer be doubted or disguised that the President’s tyrannical and lawless policy in the South is alarming the peo ple of all sections and giving new point and force to efforts against his renomination. We donbt whether, after a full consideration of the matter, Grant will bo ready to take the respon sibility of backing this bald usurpation of the Bnllock dynasty in Georgia with his bayonels. Without a particle of law or reason to sustain it—the dynasty itself stinks in the nostrils of the people. The vilest Radical press is afraid to apologize for it, after Bullock’s cowardly flight from investigation. Wo have onr doubts whether Conley and Akerman will he able to bring np Grant and his army to the point of backing the succession against tho plainest provisions of the Georgia Constitution ; bat we shall see. At all events, the chance will be offered them. THE GEORGIA PRESS. Tfie Vote ia tbe Senate ana House on Overruling tUe Veto ol the Election Bill. We give below the fnll vote by yeas and nays in both Senate and House of Representatives on the passage of tho Election Bill over Con ley’s veto. In the Senate 42 Senators, in cluding the President, voted as follows: Yeas—Messrs. BrowD, Barns, Cameron Candler, Cono, Estes, Irwin, Heard, Hicks, Hillyer, Hinton, Hoyle, Jervis, Jones, Jordan, Kirkland, Kibbeo, Lester, Matthews, Nichols! Nnnnally, Heddy, Reese, Richardson, Sim mona, Steadman, Wellborn and Mr. President, making 28 votes, or tho two-thirds necessary to carry the bill over the veto. Of this num ber all were elected as Democrats, except Mr. Jordan, of the Jasper distriot, and Mr. Richardson, of Dawson county, who were chosen on the Republican ticket. Tho nays Read Youb Policies.—The Philadelphia Lodger, of a lato date, says: “Our attention has, within a few days, been called to a decep tive—wo will not say dishonest—form of policy said to be in ase by somo Eastern and New York insurance companies, in which the good, old-fashioned words, “tho receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged,” are omitted. We are informed by one in tho business that these insurance companies, in their great desire for business, give credit to insurance agents, who, neglecting to hand over tho premium before loss occurs, payment is rofased by the compa ny on tho plea that tho premium bad never been received. The parties thus insured pur chase the chances of a lawsuit, and in two instances, at least, our informant says, to his own knowledge, within tho past five years, auits arising from policies of the kind hero al luded to have been decided against tho under writers. Every one procuring a policy of in surance shonld carefully read it.” Something Requiring Explanation.—Scott’s State Treasurer in his manifesto by telegram claims that the debt of South Caiolina has been increased only abont five and a half mil lions, and tho whole dobt is now twelve millions. But he admits that twenty-two and a half mil lions of new bonds were printed, whereof Mx millions are still in the hands of the printers— throe millions are in the State Treasury—one million has been cancelled and three millions have beon issued for conversion. Admitting that there is any truth in this statement, the question will nriso in every mind, why did Scott havo twenty-two millions and a half of blank bonds printed ? What did he intend to do with that vast sum? Has some stupendous scheme of rascality been suddenly arrested, By a for tunate and unexpected development of tho sit uation ? A gentleman traveling in Georgia mot an old colored man, on whose hat wa3 encircled the orape of grief. The gentleman said: “Yon have lost somo friend I see.” “Yes, massa.” “Was it a near or distant relative?” “Well, pretty distant—’bout twenty-foar miles.” Anderson, Black, Brock, Brnton, Campbell, Clark, Oolmim, CraytoD, Deveaux, Griffin, Mo Whorter, Smith, Wallace, Welch—14. All thoso were elected as Radicals except Dr. Black, from the Snmtor district, who defeated Jones, of Macon county (Rad.) for tho position. Anderson, Campbell, Crayton, Deveanx, and Wallace, aro negroes. In the House there were—including Speaker Smith’s—one hundred and forty-seven votes cast divided as follows: Yea3—Messrs. W. D. Anderson, W. P. An derson, Bacon, Raker, of Pike, Berrien, Bal- lengor, Barron, Butts, Bash, Bann, Booth, Brewton, Bowie, Barksdale, Carlton, Clark, of Richmond, Clark, of Tronp, Cato, Chastain, Craig, Collins, Cummings, Crittenden, Gox- Cody, Cleghorn, Chancy, Davis, of Newton, Dell, Edwards, Farmer, Field, Fain, Glover, Guyton, Griffin, of Twiggs, Goldsmith, Graf ham, Goodman, Gray, Hooks, Hall, of Upson, Hudson, Hendley, Howell, Harvey, Hoge, Hughes, Heidt, Hunter, Jenkins, Jones, o, Terrell, Johnson, of Clay, Johnson, of Jeffer son, Killian, Knoles, Kennedy, Kelly, Lang, Lamkin, Mann, Morril, McNeil, Meadows, Martin, Mnipby, of Harris, McMillan, McCon nell, Mattox, Murphy, of Burke, Morrison, Netherland, Nutting, Paulk, Patillo, Phillips, Palmer, Payne, Pentecost, Peeples, Paxton, Pon, Pierce, Renfroe, Reid, Riley, Rountree, Rutherford, Rnssell, Richards, Slaton, Snead, Summerlin, Scott, Smith, of Oglethorpe, Sim mons, of Gwinnett, Spence, Stovall, Sellers, Tarver, Trammell, Wofford, of Bartow, Wof ford, of Banks, Woodward, Wilson, Walters, Wood, West, Wynn,—110. Nays—Allred, Atkinson, Brnton of Decatur, Bine, Brown, Battle, Campbell, Clower, Con verse, Colby, Dnkes, Davis of Clark, EmersoD, Etheridge, Floyd, Franklin, Griffin of Houston, Hall of Meriwether, Head, Hillyer, Jones of Macon, Jackson, Lewis, Mansfield, Moreland, McWhorter, O’Neal, Oliver, Pntney, Richard son, Smith of Coweta, Simmons of Hal), Sim mons of Houston, Sargent, Williams and What ley—36. Griffin, of Twiggs, so far as we aro able to classify the members of tho Honse, was the only one chosen on the Radical ticket who voted yea—the rest being Democrats. Among the nays we regret to find more Democrats than anybody had reason to expect. They are Emerson of Whitfield, Etheridge of Patnam, Franklin of Fannin, Head of Haralson, Jackson of Falton, Simmons of Hall? and Whatley of Fayette. The remainder of the nays are all Radicals, of whom Atkinson, Brnton, Bine, Campbell, Clow er, Colby, Dukes, Davis, Floyd, Lewis, O’Neal, Richardson, Smith and Simmons, are negroes. . This is the way Bainbridge papers pnt it, according to the Argos of that place : A papa in the city pats it thus to his danghter’s bean: “ -Jim, if you want Lon yon can have her; but I don’t want you hanging aronnd unless yon mean business. If yon in tend to marry her, hurry np, for I can’t be kept awake nights much longer.” The editor of the same paper is rough on some of his friends who come around him after eating onions to take the smell of whiskey from their breath. He says something abont skunk in tho same connection, which is cer tainly calculated to hurt feelings. Mr. C. C. King, Sr., an old resident of De catur county, died Friday of last week, aged 65 years. Mrs. Susan Bembry, of Pulaski county, died last Saturday night. Hawkinsville had her first killing frost yes terday morning week, and qninine is quoted weak. Tho sweet potato crop of Pulaski and adja cent counties is very fine, this season. They sell from wagons, at fiawbiosville, at 40 cents a bushel. The Episcopalians of Hawkinsville are build ing a neat little church, which will soon be fioished. Brother Miller, of the Columbus Sun, is still “at it,” telling what he sa'fr and heard while on his recent furlough. This is from that paper of Thursday: It is impossible for a stranger to visit Atlanta at this time, and not be struck with the num berless big and little axes on hand to grind. The mystery too is that somo one is always ready to accept the situation. We did not see man who was unwilling to be Governor, United States Senator or even a President in dne course of mail; and we looked in vain for tho happy disappointed aspirant. Atlanta is filled with Western nudes, horses and hogs. We saw at Crawfordvillo a pig one year and three months old, and when cleaned, weighed three hundred and thirty one pounds! It was of the common stock of tho country. When we saw tbe males and horses at Atlanta, wo called to mind a remark we bad jost heard fall from Gen. Toombs. He said Georgia far mers will tell yon they cannot raise hogs because they are stolen by negroes, why then not raise horses and mules—for negroes cannot eat them ? that oat of seventy males on his Chattahoochee river plantation, all were home raised, except about six or seven. A gun powder pile-driver for the Central Railroad—the first ever brought to this country —was oa exhibition at tho Savannah Fair. An unknown German was knocked down and run over by a wagon, at Augusta, on Wednes day, and his head severely, if not dangerously cut. Two well known Savannah merchants—one dealer in wood, and the other in wool—collided on Bay street, Savannah, Wednesday morning. The former, instead of obtaining wool, went home shorn. So the Republican says. Registration at Angu3ta closed with 2,032 names, of which number about 350 belong to the men and brethren. We find the following in the Chronicle and Sentinel, of Thursday: Floating Debt Paid.—Some time since we published a statement from the Mayor and Finance Committee, showing what amount of the indebtedness of the city had been paid off since the present administration camo into power. We* have recently learned that the en tire floating debt of the city has been liquidated —the last claim having been paid by the Mayor a few days. The dobt which has thus been can celled amounted to more than eighty-five thou- and dollars. Nor ho3 this result been attained by the issue of bonds or any expedient of that character. Such a course would only have the effect of decreasing the floating by adding to the permanent indebtedness. No, this float ing debt of nearly one hundred thousand dol lars has be6n paid out of tho current receipts of the year. What do the layers think of this showing? A Fiendish Old Woman.—Tho Edgefield Ad vertiser says that on the 15th instant, Rachel Stallswortb, an aged negro woman living on the plantation of Major Lemuel Corley, murdered her grandchild, only four days old, by taking it from the bed of the mother and deliberately breaking its neck. An inquest was held upon the body of tho child, and a verdict rendered accordingly. Tho old murderess has been ar rested and lodged in jail. The vile and unnat ural atrocity of this murder is enough to make the blood ran cold. Mr. Allen Tarver was run over by a wagon loaded with cotton, in Louisville, last Saturday, and in ten minntes died from the injuries received. Four prisoners broke jail at Atlanta, Thursday, by cutting through the roof. Mrs. Wells, of Clayton county, was arrested, Thursday morning, by a Federal deputy mar shal, on the charge of illicit distilling. Times must be hard with the creatures that they have to commence making war upon the women. Mr. Levi Nix, one of the oldest citizens of Murray county, died last week, from lock jaw, which was caused by intense pain from neuralgia. Mrs. Hoffman, of Murray county, fell from a swing last Sunday, and broke her leg jnst above the ankle, and also dislocated her ankle. The Dalton Citizen of Thursday, says; Large Shipments.— The shipments South, over tho western and Atlantio Railroad, are very heavy. Some six or eight trains pass down the road daily, with from fifteen to thirty loaded cars each. A considerable amount of stock is being shipped over the road. On Friday last 121 heavily loaded cars passed hero from Chat tanooga, twenty-six of which number were loaded with stook. The Griffin Star, of yesterday, says: Injunction.—Judge Greene has “injuncted” “Mose” Potts, tho ariro-Ordinary of Monroe, on account of somo ten or twelvo thousand dollars of county bonds alleged to have been illegally issued by Potts, and then “put in soak” by him to raise funds to “develop”Monroe. The Judge’s order prohibits the payment of these bonds by the county, and rebukes “Moses in the bull rushes” for his developing propensities. We clip the following from the Atlanta Con stitution of yesterday: More Railroad BondsOut.—It is stated that when Bollock was in California, bonds of the Bainbridge, Cnthbert and Columbus Railroad, of which not a single mile has been railed, were sent to, and signed by him. It is fnither re ported that these bonds found their way into Kimball's possession. Information has not yet been obtained as to tho present whereabouts of these illegal bonds, but it is believed that they are in 6oak somewhere. On tho other hand, it is stated by friends of tho road that tbo bonds were not endorsed, but were issued by the road without endorsement. The Quitman Banner has this to say, under the head of “speech-making:” It is said that Hon. Thomas M. Norwood, in acknowledging his appreciation of the compli ment paid him in his election as United States Senator, said that “speech-making, letter writing, and newspaper artioles had been tho bane of tho Sontb, and asserted his intention to avoid speech-making.” There may be conside rable truth in this remark, bat we trust that the Senator elect, if he shonld obtain his seat, will so far depart fromhis present “intention,” to resort to “speech-making” whenever found necessary for tho vindication of tho honor or interest of his State. It is for this he has been honored with the position of United States Senator. The epicures of Gainesville are licking their chops over bear meat steaks, and lustily casing for more. Rev. B. Kirbey, of Towns county, is trnly an enviable man. He was born in 1792, mar ried in 1819, has thirteen living children, and one hundred and twelve direot descendants— children, grand, and great grand children. Mr. Barksdale, an old citizen of Talbot conn- ty, died last Monday, aged 84 years. The po tato crop of Talbot is veiy large, this year. The boiler of the Empire Oil Company’s works, at Colnmbns, exploded Thursday after noon, slightly injuring one person. Tho loss is about $1,000. The Columbus Sun, of Friday, says: The Mobile and Girard Railroad.—The Mobile and Girard Railroad, we expect, will be leased to the Central at the rate of*2£ per cent, per annum for old, or 5 per cent, for scaled stook. We believe, also, that if the road is sold it will be purchased by our own citizens. Steps towards that end have been taken and the means secured. The property will not be sacrificed. The total registered vote of Colnmbns, is 1,435—divided as follows: Whites, 932; blacks 503. The municipal election takes place on the 9th prox. The German, named Brnnn, whose injury from being run over by a wagoD, at Augusta, oa Wednesday, wo have heretofore noticed, died Thursday morning. From what tho Chronicle says, he must have beon born under an nnlncky star: “He entered tho hospital hero some lime ago, when sick, and when he was nearly well ven tured out of the bniffiing. He had not gone far before he was attacked by a ferocious dog and badly bitten. This necessitated a return to the hospital, whore he remained until Wed nesday, when ho was discharged. He had walked abont three squares, when a runaway horse knocked him down and inflicted a mortal injury.” John Crompton and Charles Denham had a face slapping, head whacking, and pistol shoot ing match, on Broad street, Angnsta, Thursday night, which resulted in Crompton’s losing some claret, and DenJjam’s being placed under $500 bond to answer a chatgo of assault with intent to kill. • An accident on tbo Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, on Wednesday, about five miles from tho latter city, resulted in badly damaging two cars, and giviDg tho passengers a thorough shaking up. Mr. John T. Kirk, originally from South Car olina, but cow of Kansas, while on his way to revisit his old home at Chester, was swindled out of $210, at Angnsta, last Wednesday night. It was tho old story. Gentlemanly appearing stranger accosted him—gavo Masonic signal— said ho was from Kansas City and was also on his way to Chester, S. C.—then a man claiming to be railroad freight agent came in and de manded of stranger $240 to pay charges on a car load of goods attached to the train—stranger had only $30 in his pooket-book—asked Kirk to loan him $210, which Kirk did, the latter taking a check for $1,400 on the Mechanics’ Bank of Kansas City as security—train started and stranger said ho would go and look after his baggage, whioh he did—perhaps, but which he didn't como back, and so Kirk tore his hair and rushed for the police, hnt all to no pnrpcso. The cane crop of Southwestern Georgia is re ported to be very fine this season. The Albany Nows mentions a stalk nine feet long, and which had twenty well matured joints. We clip these items from the same paper: Settling Up.—We are pleased to learn that the planters of this section ore determined to square accounts. Many of them have failed to make cotton enough to pay. out, but they are unwilling to struggle under the incubus of debt any longer, and aro turning over mules and other property in liquidation of claims against them. The present ontlook indicates a great redaction in the cotton acreage next year. The system of advances and liens on crops will be, in a great measure, abandoned and the more sensible policy adopted of circumscribing plant ing within the limits of available means. The Cotton Crop.—Oar planters are just now anxiously awaiting the effect of the frost and sunshine on the ncmatnred fruit. There is an immense crop of bolls, from tho size of a chinquapin to fnll grown, and the anxiety about any of them opening is intense. They were green and growing when the cold weather set in, and it is questionable whether tho neariy matured fruit will open. A few days will decide the matter. The crop relied on ia nearly gath ered, and does not exceed half the yield planted for. Tho Savannah Advertiser, of Friday, says that tho Joekoy Clnb of that city, at a meeting held the day before, passed a resolution ruling out of all the races upon the track of the Indus trial Association, this season, John A. Cham bers and Wo. H. Boyce, and all horses under their control. Mr. John Hunter, one of tho oldest and best citizens of Coweta county, died last Thursday. Edward Tison, whose ancestors were kings in Africa, persuaded $80 from the pocket of Col. Gatewood, at Newnan, last Tuesday, while the Col. was asleep, and has been rewareded for his eloquence with free board ia the jail of that place. A man named Sidney Nelson, of Upson coun ty, was so severely burned last Sunday, that he died the next day. Blodgett has gone to Washington to contest Mr. Norwood’s seat in tho Senate, and also to call tho editor of the Grant organ of that city to account for saying that ho (B.) was more fitted for a cell in tho penitontiary than a Sena torial chair. Jffe quote this item from the Atlanta Consti tution, of yesterday: Bold Attempt at Robbery.—Yesterday a man called in at the Southern Life Insnrance Company and engaged the book-keeper (the only one in the/room) in conversation at tho desk. An accomplice slipped in at the side door on Broad street and entered into the vault. Fortunately the book keeper discovered it before the robber had effected his purpose, and gavo the alarm. The parties fled. Messrs. Jones and Willingham offer the La- Grange Reporter for sale. One of tho firm wishing to engage in other business, and the other not being able to buy the whole establish ment, are the reasons assigned for selling. The dry goods store of N. T. Johnson, at White’s Hill, Tronp county, was burned last week. Loss about $1,700 and no insnrance. Incendiary. The gin honse cf W. J. Hicks of Tronp coun ty, and n fine pin, three bales’of cotton, and 2,000 pounds of cotton seed were horned last Monday night. Loss $1,200. BY TELEGrBAPH. Jf 110.11 ATLANTA.

Reception of the Grand Duke at Washing ton, De. Gbeeley's Advice to a Scientific Col ored Gentleman.—We were sitting with Horace one afternoon in that little disreputable sana turn of his adjoining the counting-room of the Tribune. The old gentleman was in one of his chronic conditions of gramble and discontent. He had that mealy appearance, so common to him, that mado him resemble a blonde miller fresh from tbe dust of his flour mill, and was expressing his private opinion in a public and somewhat profane way, when a colored gentle man was announced. “Let him come in,” roared the philosopher, and an aged darky clad in broadcloth, gold rimmed spectacles, and a cane, headed with the same precious metal, stalked in. “Mister Greeley, I believe?” he inquired. “Yes, I’m Mister Greeley; what do yon want ?” was tho gruff response. Well, Bah,” said old Ebony Specs, seating himself as he deposited his hat and cane on the floor—“ Well, sab, I’ve been thinkin’ that our race don’t pay ennff attention to scientitio pursuits, sab.” Wo saw the cloud gather on tho intellectual countenance of the great journalistic Bohe mian. It broke in thunder at that point. In voice wherein were blended the shrill tones of a historical woman and the growl of a tiger, ho exclaimed: “ Scientific pursuits! you d—d old fool; you want a hoe handle and patch of New Jersey— that’s the scientitio pursuit yon want. Get out.”—Don Piatt's Capital. What the Yultuees Have Done Fob Nobth Carolina.—The annual messago of the Govor- npr of North Carolina was sent in to the Legis lature of that State on the 22d inst. It shows the State debt to be $34,800,000, on whioh he says the people are unable to pay tho interst. He recommends tho sale of the railroad intrest of the State in ordor to prevent repudiation, but says no financil policy should be adopted antil all the facts connected with this debt are ascertained—ns if everybody dia nt know thes9 facts already. After tho message was road a resolution was offered in tho House and re ferred, Reciting that as tho debt was created by strangers elected under bayonet*, who voted moneys to railroads and otherwise embezzled the funds of the State, a provision should therefore be made for repudiating the entire State debt. Washington, November 23.—At 1 o’clock the carriage containing the Grand Duke and snite arrived, and the Duke entered the Executive Mansion, the assemblage on the portico giv ing cheers as the Prince alighted, which he ac knowledged by lifting his chapeau and bowing.
