•Whiting from Lyons, France, Colonel
Jorncy says that “tbo working people of
America ore thq happiest and best paid

It seems to bo tho custom of some sub
ordinates to send official reports to their
superiors at "Washington in baskets of
champagne and other delicacies, by ex
press prepaid. A few days since some
important accounts, which had been miss
ing for months, were unearthed in Secre
tary Robeson's wine cellar.
Walt. Whitman has begun to sing
about tho cold weather. Listen:
"I howl a whoop,' —
And with tho howlment of tli3 whoop I yip a
yawp,
And with a million chill-belingled veins I how
me to the winter’s sovereignty
O bite'ome breeze! O qnakesomo waves! and all
conglomerate dements of gelid things!”
It i3 known only by tho intimate
friends of Senator Johnson that when he
left for Washington via Greenevillo, ho
carried with him a certain trunk pleth
oric with public documents, memoranda
and correspondence that is destined to ho
tho Pandora’s box of Radicalism. When
that trunk is opened for use even hope
will not remain behind.
It is a long lane that has no turn. Tho
money article of Tuesday’s New York
Tribune opens: " We find in the street to

ductive industries of the country.”
The Hon. Patrick O'Hiir, of tho Illi
nois Legislature, has introduced a hill
which provides that any person asking
another to partake of an intoxicating
drink shall bo fined not les3 than $20 nor
more than $100. Mr. O’Hair is evidently
seeking to bring about a civil war. An
Illinois man who hasn’t been asked to
drink in two weeks wouldn’t hesitate to
scuttlo a ship or cut a throat.
A cobbespondsst of the New York
Graphic attributes three-fourths of the
misery of women to the fact that they
arc eternally called upon to sow buttons
on tho garments of men. The corres
pondent insists that men should he
taught at an early period just how to
handle buttons. She thinks a ten min
utes’ lesson will solve tho problem and
right one of tho wrongs of women.

A vert tall darkey entered the rooms of
tho Aid and Belief Society in Detroit the
other day, and inquired:
"Does you give out perwisions heah?”
"Yes, we aid the poor here,” replied
the egent; "what do you want mostP”
"Wall, my heart is sot on a spring
chicken,” replied the darkey, “but if de

Talking of salaries in the learned pro
fessions it is estimated that tho receipts
of great actors will about equal those of
great lawyers. Edwin Booth has made
as high os $12,003 a month. Jefferson
has made even more. Boncicanlt, com
bining his royalty os dramatist and his
percentage as star actor, is making two
thousand dollars a week at Wallack’s
Theater in New York. Great physicians,
but only a few even of these, make in
comes comparable to those mode by great
lawyers and great actors. Mott, Parker,
Clark, have mado as high as one hundred
thousand dollars each in the course of
one year. In comparison with those pro
fessions the divines and editors mako but
paltry compensation. Ten thonsand dol
lars a year is a salary paid to about four
employed editors in the country, while
Messrs. Beecher and Chapin aro the only
divines whose income reaches beyond
twenty thousand dollars. Lord Brougham
looked well after the main chance, and
while at tho bar made the enormous in
come of five hundred thousand dollars a
year, at a time when that amonnt was
equal in purchasing power to that of a
million to-day.
Relative Strength of the War-
. ring Railroads.
In view of tho gigantic "mill” just
commenced between Tom Scott and Bis
marck Garrett, some facts as to the rela
tive strength of the respective roads may
be of interest. The Pennsylvania road
has a well watered capital stock of abont
$115,000,000, which commands less than
forty cents in tho market. That of the
Baltimore and Ohio amounts to only
$20,000,000, hut every cent of it repre
sents actual value still on hand; there is
no dividend stock nor fnnded interest in
cluded in it, hence it sells above par.
Besides this, the Baltimore and Ohio i3
the lucky possessor of some $16,000,000
surplus, which gives it tremendous re-
-■erve power in a prolonged struggle. At
market prices, the $114,000,000 capital of
Tom Scott is worth just about the same
as Garrett’s $26,000,000, with his surplus
added. The Titans are about of a size,
but the Baltimore champion is in better
fighting trim.
The Boston Globe has this mention of
a rose bush In Newton, Massachusetts:
"At the greenhouse of Mr. Mansfield, in
Ward Two, there can bo seen a white
Lamarque rose tree, upward of twenty
years old, covering a radius of over one
hundred equaro feet, which has had a
prodigious yield the past season. Since
December it has furnished twenty to
thirty buds daily, and it is estimated
that its yield for tho season will be at
least 2,500. At $9 per hundred, a profit
af $225 will be reaped.”
Louisiana.
Our noon telegrams yesterday indicate
that some sort of a settlement of tho
troubles in the above named State is
about to be reached—provided the high
and mighty Grant sanctions it—which
seems to bo almost taken for granted,
and tho Conservative caucus at New Or
leans ratifies it. Of the latter result
there can, wo judge, be but little doubt,
03 the gentlemen named in the tel-
gram aro supposed to he representing at
Washington tho general sentiment of
the caucus. We presume, in the ab
sence of details, that the basis of
tho settlement is the recognition of
tho usurper, Kellogg, and his fellow
companions in infamy, and the seating of
those five Democratic members of the
Legislature who were turned out of their
scats by butcher Sheridan’s bayonets.
How this will go down with tho people
of Louisiana we do not know, but it docs
not appear to us that any settlement
which leaves Kellogg in power and recog
nized as the rightful executive of the
State can, with tho least regard for hon
or and consistency, he approved by them.
Wo suppose, however, it is tho same old
story: A parcel of hungry politicians,
eager to realize on something in sight,
have resolved to sell out those who value
principle and manhood more than plun
der. If our speculation is correct, we
sincerely hope Kellogg and his gang may
swindle the traders out of every crumb
of the spoils.

Boston Niggers to tlio Rescue.
Stimulated and urged by their breth
ren of another color, but equally black in
their miscegenation proclivities, and de
sire to "punish tho South,” the colored
“gemmen” of the Hub have drawn np a
huge memorial and bill of rights which
has been submitted to the United States
Senate, in favor of tho admission of
Pinchback.
The precious document, which of course
is made up of a string of falsehoods,
winds np as follows
“To the Republican majority in your
honorable body, we, representing on this
question, 900,000 faithful members of the
great Republican party which has done
so much for free manhood, wo particu
larly as, is our right, appeal, and ask
that yon, os its leaders, still bear aloft
and onward tho glorious banner upon
which is inscribed tho noble words, Lib
erty and equality now and evermore.”
These grandiloquent rogues sea no hope
in tho future for their Louisiana associ
ates unless the immunity to steal chick
ens, and out-vote, tax, and Hector tho
"white trash” bo made perpetual. And
"Pinch” is their man. With the varia
tion of a single letter he would ho Pinch
beck, counterfeit, and false, sure enough,
all over, and the "Pinch” in that eupho
nious cognomen is sosuggestive of thumb
screws and tortnro for tho whites.
Tlio Atlanta Herald.
We find the following in Sunday’s issue
of this paper:
Whenever Col. H. H. Jones, of the
Teleqbaph and Messengeb, has any
thing to say against the Herald we trust
he will be manly enough to say it plainly
and openly. His “little pleasantries”
bear entirely too mnch malice in them to
be funny, and too much apparent friend
liness to be properly understood. We
cannot anticipate a blow that is much
below tho belt, and can hardly resent one
that is shot out from under a smile.
We can only assure our contemporary
that when we do really hear "malico”
against him, or any ono else, there will he
no shooting "below the belt,” but the aim
shall be high and at close quarters. The
article alluded to was meant, r.rd we
thought would he so understood, as a
playful piece of badinage elicited by a
paragraph from the Herald itself, claim
ing to be tho “finest advertising medium
in the South.” Tho samo nrticlo also
asserted that it had “already the largest
circulation of any paper in the State, and
that circulation is increasing largely
every day.” Then followed a dig into
the ribs of the Constitution. Tho veraci
ty of this statement was not called in
question, though we ventured to say that
the people "know what is what,” and
suggested the fable of “the frog and
ox,” etc.
Now we submit, if our brother thus
coolly stepped over tho heads of all of his
contemporariics and proclaimed himself
their superior in influence and patronage,
ho ought at least to receive with equa
nimity their good humored rejoinders.
We have a high respect for the genius
and worth of all three of the editors of
tho Herald, and certainly had no inten
tion to affront them.
Ulstingruislied Tourists.
Quito a largo party of gentlemen and
ladies from Washington and . points be
yond, spent yesterday in our city.
They are traveling for pleasure, and
will probably extend their journey to
Florida. It is to bo hoped on returning
home, they too will bear omphatie testi
mony to tho peace and quiet which reign
universally everywhere at tho South
where no Federal interference is going on.
Tho names of tho party aro os follows:
J. D. Cameron and daughter, Mr. Lam-
berton and wife, Mr. Winter and wife,
Misses Duffy and McCormick, of Harris
burg, Penn.; Hon. E. R. Bridges, North
Carolina; Mr. Mason, Virginia; andW.
J. Walker, Esq., tho well known and
popular agent of tho Atlantic Coast Line,
whose headquarters aro in Washington.
We were gratified to greet the latter gen
tleman in our sanctum.
Tlio Civil Rights Rill.
A Washington special dated the 19th—
Friday—to the Baltimore Gazette says:
Senator Edmunds intimated to-day
that ho shonld attempt an all-night ses
sion on the civil rights bill, and if that
should fail tho measure will probably bo
abandoned. Its passage, however, is con
fidently predicted. A Republican re
marked to-day that if they thought it
advisable to force an extra session tho
civil rights hill would be just tho meas
ure to use, for as it is a mildly drawn bill
they could say to the country: The Dem
ocrats have defeated the appropriation
bills in the attempt to kill the civil rights
bill, and so made an extra session neces
sary.
There is far from being unanimity in
the Senate in regard to taking up tbo
civil rights bill. Mr. Hitchcock gave no
tice to-day that ho should antagonize
that and every other measure, with the
bill for tho admission of Colorado; and
Mr. Logan threatens to do the same thing
with the bill for the equalization of boun
ties. Mr. Sargent, the friend of the late
District ring, and of jobs and rascality
generally, hopes the Pinchback caso will
, be called up again.
Simple Tastes and Economy of the
Masses—The Kecuperatlve Power
of the Country—Diamonds.
The French correspondent of tho New
York Tribune says of the opera: “It is
tho heart of Paris.it is the salon of those
who have none. The great Hetarai hero
elbow Dntchesses. The nows of tho day
or rather of the morrow is here prepared.
The reporters, who a3 a general thing
know no more of what is going on in tho
great world, than what they find on tho
menus of dinner parties, are as much at
home at the opera, as girls of fashion.”
It matters not what star is in tho po
litical ascendancy, whoso head has fallen
on that particular day, or whether a re
volutionary earthquake is imminent, tho
cry is still, "on with tho dance; ” and the
voluptuous music and recitations of tho
dramatis personae charm away all sense
of the dread present from that volatile,
mercurial people.
Where all the wealth comes from, is
the great mystery, after the terrible de
pletion of the Franco-Prussian war, and
the devastation which followed under
tho communistic regime. But not only
has France met her Prussian impositions
almost fabulous in amount 03 they were*
but luxury and magnificence have again
been enthroned in her gay capitaL And
yet, the peasants as a class, arc poor, and
the country, unlike Great Britain, is di
vided into an Infinitesimal number of
small free holds and farms, whoso owners
earn but little beyond their daily subsist
ence.
Perhaps one cause of this is tho simple
tastes of the people and the economy of
their expenditures.
A little fruit, vegetables which can be
had for a trifle, a bottle of wine purchased
for a few sou3, and the inevitable roup
compounded with artistic skill from a
hundred materials hardly ever thought of
in other lands, together with tho sweetest
and best of bread, mako up the daily fare
of thousands of the natives. Americans
and John Bull would turn up their noses
at such a diet, and declare they must
perish under its operation. But not so
with tho French. To them it is a feast.
Everything, too, is utilized. Even tho
superannuated horses are all butchered
and go to the shambles, and when treated
disguised and Bpiced with the numerous
addenda known only to French cooks, are
transformed into savory dishes.
It is said, with the sole of an old boot,
lentils and grasses gathered on tho high
way, pepper, salt, a little suet and other
condiments deftly introduced, the
French artist (they call their cooks ar
tists), can fabricate an appetizing soup,
at least to the taste of the natives.
But to return to the opera. President,
MacMahon, the representatives of the
once titled and ancient nobless, all tho di
plomats, tho tradesmen, and indeed every
one who can raise the means, indulge in
this favorite pastime. With tho French,
the opera is a passion.
To show that there i3 still a modicum
of tho wealth of former days in Paris, we
close, by another reference to tho Tribune
correspondent. Atalate operatic perform
ance he says, "Madamo de Cassin exhibited
four millions worth of diamonds ; Mad'
ame Musard, five millions; Madame de
Paiva, six millions.”
Verily, if the French are easily cast
down under misfortunes, their powers of
recuperation exceed those of any nation
on earth. Their recovery from tho ef
fects of tho late war, despite an unsettled
government, is little less than miracu
lous.

They AYIll Stand By Him.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stauton wa3 heard
to remark tho other day that whether
Beecher be convicted or not his congrega
tion will stand by him. Of course they
will, says the Courier Journal. "When a
lawyer or a doctor or a journalist is
wounded all tho other lawyers, doctors or
journalists hunt him down and kill him.
But let a hypocrite be unmasked and
punished and all tho other hypocrites will
rally around him. The men will pour
oil and tho women will pour teora on his
wounds. They will caress and soothe him
by a thousand endearments. They will
tom upon the man who has exposed him,
put their feet on him, stamp him, hustlo
Mm, and, unless he is uncommonly nim
ble with his feet, they will crucify him.
Beecher knows this, and that is the rea
son he says ho would rather he a suffer
ing clergyman than a happy flea. Ho
has enjoyed the peripatetic privileges of
both, and knows that, though the flea can
find his way to a good many forbidden
places and can hide better than a man
when ho gets there, yet the suffering
clergyman has the advantage of him.
Women never mako war on him a3 they
do on fleas, and he i3 in no danger of be

Strikers—Will They Never

The weavers of Fall River, Massachu

eral days, demanding an increase of wa
ges. As ha3 resulted in nine-tenths of
similar efforts, however, within tho past
two years, despite co-operative funds and
the organized machinery of tho various
guilds in opposition to their employers,
tho weavers aro hound to come to grief.
Tho mills are securing outside and inde
pendent help, wMch will soon enable
them to dispenso with their present tur

All these efforts smack of the Commune

No fear that tho latter will ever he found
to succumb to tho former. Not that the

other, but tho relations between them
can bo satisfactorily adjusted only by the
laws of trade, ancT-fhe wants of commerce.
If the capitalist can make a good thing
out of any venture, tho law of self interest
will impel him to pay remunerative
wages to his employes, even if a healthy
competition did not require it. But when
the cost of production is exorbitant, and
may even exceed all margin for profit, of
course the operative must givo way in
his charges, or loth will be involved in
one common ruin.

nah Advertiser, of Saturday:
The Laeoest Cabgoeveii Taken feoh
a Savannah Dock.—Mr. F. A. Garden
cleared yesterday tho American ship Con
queror, Captain Crocker, for Liverpool,
with 5,115 bales upland cotton, weighing
2,428,664 pounds valued at $372,858, and
124 balC3 sea island, weighing 44,295
pounds, valued at $15,939. This is the
largest cargo of cotton ever taken from
a Savannah dock. The ship Jamestown,
which cleared from hero December 12,
1870, is 1,8S9 tons burthen, and carried
5,421 hales, but a largo portion of this
had to he lightered.
New Ceop Eo3in.—The first sMpment
of now crop virgin rosin was received
hero yesterday from tho plantation of
Major H. A. Wise, of Live Oak, Fla., con
sisting of forly barrels. It was consigned
to Messra. J. Lippman & Bro., and sold
by them to Mr. D. W. Ketchum, broker
and dealer in naval stores, at tho fancy
price of eight dollars. Being the first of
the season, it, like the first bale of cot
ton, sold for an advance over the market
price, though the sample i3 remarkably
handsome, and at any time would com
mand the highest quotations. The sale
above named is said to be at the highest
figure ever paid in Savannah.

The Atlanta Herald, which, by the
way, has bloomed out in spick and span
new typographical raiment, which is
quite nobby, say3 Messrs. Georgo & Hart
nett, of Griffin, failed a few day3 since,
owing Atlanta merchants about $15,000.
Me. G. P. Laeendon, a well known cit
zen of Atlanta, died Saturday, after a long
illness.
Eefeekino ia a long article to the
Treasury muddle, the Atlanta Herald, of
Sunday, says:
The only tangible rumor that ha3 come
to the public is, that Treasurer Jones has
paid about $150,000 worth of over duo
bonds, issued ia 1871, which had been
already paid. Tho rumor was pretty gen
erally accredited, and is really, in whole
or in part, true. The first impression
conveyed to tho public by this statement
is, that tho transaction throws a suspi
cion on the Treasurer. This is altogether
wrong. Everjr member of tho committee
joins iu declaring that nothing has been
discovered in the whole investigation that
pnt3 the slightest shade of suspicion on
Col. Jones’ integrity. The investigation
has been full and thorough, but the de
tail work is so immense that it will be a
week probably before a report i3 made.
This reporter talked with a number of
the committee, and with Col. Jones him
self. Col. Jone3 at first declined to say
anything. Ha says: “I am perfectly
willing to await the report of tho com
mittee. I fear nothing, and have no plea
to offer. I prefer that the public, like
myself, should wait until tho committee,
after a full investigation, shall make an
official and authorized report.” Upon
being pressed, however, to give us for
publication an explanation as to how the
bonds in question came to be paid twice,
Col. Jones said (without admitting or
denying that such payment had been
made:) “If you remember, Henry Clews
was, previous to my administration, the
financial agent of the State of Georgia in
New York. He of course paid a large
number of bonds during his term. When
I became Treasurer I tried to get from
Mm a statement as” to what he had paid,
and when He had paid it. He refused,
both after my demand and the Gover
nor’s, to render any account. At length
Col. Thomas L. Sneed was appointed as
attorney for tho State to settle with
Mr. Clews. After a long timo he fur
nished us a statement of his transactions
for and on behalf of the State. As
soon os his statement came I looked
over it with tho Governor and stated
to him that I was afraid that I had paid
some of the bonds that Clews had already
paid, according to his statement. Of
course I had no way of guarding against
this. If Mr. Clews had paid the bonds,
any then, without cancelling them, had
put them upon tho market again, I had
no way of knowing that they were paid,
especially when Mr. Clews refused to
give me a list of what bonds he had paid.”
Just here Col. Jone3 was called out, and
our conversation ended. Col. C. A. Nut
ting, who was standing by, took it up, say
ing: "I think that an uncancelled and un
repudiated bond presented at the door of
tho Treasury, is a legal warrant on the
Treasury, the payment of which cannot be
refused. Of course after Col. Jones had
found out from Clews’ statement that
there wore uncancelled bonds which he
had paid, in circulation, he had the right
to demand that a guarantee should be
given, that the bonds had not been pre
viously paid. Col. Jones did this to my
knowledge. I have had $12,000 of over-
due bonds sent through my bank for col'
lection, wMch Jones has refused to
pay, until he can have them fully investi-
ated. He has not paid them yet, although
he has been pressed to do so. Col. Kib-
bee, tho chairman of the committee re
fused to talk to us, except to say: “There
has been a great deal of unnecessary fuss
made abont tho matter. This arises from
the fact that the Legislature ha3 done at
thi3 session for tho first time, what it
ought to do every session; viz: look into
tho accounts of it3 Treasurer. This was
the object of my resolution. I offered it
with no suspicion that there was anytMng
wrong, but merely because I thought it
was a precedpnt wo had better establish.
I will say to yod, however, since the mat
ter has como up that we have discovered
nothing that affects tho integrity of tho
Treasurer, in the slightest degree. We
will be able to make our report in about
ten days.” The temporary excitement
over the matter ha3 already died out,
almost entirely. Tho peoplo have an
abiding confidence in Col. Jones, which
nothing can shake, and which we feel
sure is not misplaced. Tho public will
quiotiy await tho report of tho committee
which, it is hardly possible, will create
a flutter when it comes.
The Atlanta correspondent of tho Au
gusta Chronicle and Sentinel, speaking of
the examination now going on of affairs
in tho Treasurer’s office, says:
" It is simply feared that Treasurer
Jones has unfortunately paid some bonds
a second timo through inadvertenco;
what amount is not yet known, though it
is generally believed to exceed $100;000.
Further»investigation, however, may
modify this impression, a3 it has already
done in one instance, as follows: A state
paper announced that it was supposed
that some old bonds, issued during’Gov.
McDonald’s ndminiBtation, had been
paid twice and perhaps three times. This
supposition arose from the discovery of
coupons of exactly the samo numbers
and of the same issue. Farther exami
nation, however,[has shown that this sup
position was false. (Incorrect, you mean
to say.—Eds. Telkoeaph and Messa
ges.) It has been discovered that bonds
of the samo issue were signed by as many
as three different clerks, and that each
one numbered Ms own from tho begin
ning—not] proceeding from where the
preceding clerk left off. It i3 probable
that this examination will bo the occa
sion of a prolongation of the session
throughout the week, I have heard no
The Rome Courier says more rails have
been split and put np in that county this
winter than any season since tho war.
The Sparta Times and Planter announ
ces that a considerable quantity of West

pot by the farmers of that county. Tho

explain the transaction at the next term

Tee Franklin News “norates” that a
mule, sixty-two years old, is living in
that county and can still put an average
darkey to sleep in the most natural man

rural rogions aro buying considerable
quantities of "spun-truck,” and thinks the
indications are that tho cobwebs aro to
bo knocked from tho old looms.
The Thomaston Herald is informed
that a young man of that county not yet
of ago, claims to have two living wives,
and vows he intends to havo seven before
ho stops. Plainly a case of morbid appe
tite, for wMch wo wotdd proscribe a heavy
dose of penitentiary..
The same paper has tMs complimenta
ry reference to Macon:
Macon has a soup house in full blast,
to which the indigent may go and got
ono good meal each day. Thi3 is indeed
a commendable act of her citizens, and
exhibits in a forciblo manner her enter
prise and liberality, and a laudable desire
to mako tho town an ornament to tho
South. She is already noted for the con
stellation of schools and colleges which
adorns her, and the very liberal manner
in which she has poured out her wealth
to construct and beautify them. Adding
to these tho spirit of charity and pMlan-
thropy which has manifested itself in tho
establishment of this now enterprise for
alleviating tho suffering of the poor, and
Macon becomes a town of wMoh her citi
zens and the State should feel proud.

A Now Report on Louisiana.
Washington, February 19.—A full
meeting of tho Louisiana committee was

The report will contain mnch of tho
White Leaguo intimidation, etc., and
goes back several years to recount tho
outrages and to aid the majority in reach
ing a conclusion. The Returning Board’s
action is not approved by any member.
Tho final resalt of the session was tho
adoption of two resolutions, ono recogniz
ing Kellogg as the Governor de facto, and
tho other recommending the seating of
tho Conservative members of tho Legis
lature driven out by federal bayonets.
These resolutions, with tho several re

Omitted from tho Text,
A private letter from Hon. J. M. Ar-
now asserts that in tho printed report of
his joint resolution in tho Senate, os con
tained in tho Atlanta Nexc3 and Savannah
Advertiser, relating to Georgia’s attitudo
towards tho General Government in the
event of tho passage of tho civil rights
bill, tho words, "in the courts of the United
States,” were omitted.
This of course puts a now, and entirely
different phase upon tho utterances of
tho gentleman. Certainly no one could
object to testing the constitutionally of
that measure or any other, in our Mghest
tribunal. Having reflected severely upon
his resolution os read without the addition
of tho words in question, wo cheerfully
givo place to the preamble and resolution
with tbo omission supplied:
By Mr. Arnow—Whereas, it is serious
ly apprehended that the Congress of tho
United States of America, now in session
at Washington, will pas3 tho civil rights
and other bills which, in their effects,
will deprive tho peoplo of Georgia of tho
enjoyment of their rights, privileges and
immunities guaranteed to them by tho
constitution of the United States; and
Whereas, Tho people of Georgia aro
dovoted to said constitution, and all laws
not in conflict therewith; and
Whereas, Wo desire tho peace, tern
quility and prosperity of tho wholo pcO'
plo of all races of tho American union;
and
Whereas, The hope of tta perpetuation
of our liberties lie in devotion to tho con
stitution of the United States and tho
purity and impartiality of the courts cre
ated under its provisions; and
Whereas,The constitution of tho United
States, and all laws not in conflict there
with should bo strictly and impartially
administered in all States composing tho
American union; and
Whereas, No laws made in conflict
thereto should bo enforced against the
people of any portion of said Union; and
whereas, tho enforcement of any of said
laws, if passed, would bear very harshly
upon tho peoplo of Georgia, who aro pri
marily unable to test tho constitutionality
of tho same; and whereas, in the event
of tho passage of any such laws by Con
gress, it is tho duty of tho State of Geor
gia to defend and protect her citizens in
the courts of the United States in tho full
enjoyment of tho rights, privileges and
immunities guaranteed to them by tbo
Constitution of the United States; he it
therefore
Resolved, by the Senate and House of
Representatives in General Assembly
convened, That the joint Finance Com
mittee of tho samo tako the matters set
forth in tho foregoiDg preamble under
consideration, and report as early as prac
ticable, by bill or otherwise, to this Gen
eral Assembly for its setion. Referred to
Financo Committee.
Report of the Macon and Brunswick
Bond Committee.
We find tho following synopsis of this
report in the Atlanta News of Sunday.
We will publish the report in full when
received, if it is possible to make room
for it:
On tho 31 of December, 1866, an act
was passod entitled an act. to extend tho
aid of tho State to tho completion of tho
Macon and Brunswick Railroad, and for
other purposes. The preamble recites
that fifty miles of tho road has been com
pleted and thorougMy equiped, and that
seventy gules more had been graded.
Tho Governor was authorized to place the
State’s indorsement on the bonds of the
company to tho amount of $10,000 per
mile for as many miles as were then com
pleted, and tho like amount for any ad
ditional ten miles as tho same should be
completed and placed in running order on
these terms, to wit:
That beforo indorsing, the Governor
should be satisfied that as much as the
road as indorsement should be applied for
had been completed, that tho road was
free from liens, and that the indorsement
should operate as a prior Hen on all tho
property of tho company, etc. (all of
which were accepted by tho company),
the bonds were not to bo disposed'of for
less than ninety cents in tho dollar, and
that the indorsement should not exceed
$1,000,000 until an amount of capital
equaltothoadditionalindorsementshould
he bona fide subscribed and paid into said
company. The committee finds that
$1,950,000 of bonds were indosed by Gov
ernors Jenkins and Bullock, viz: $10,000
permilo for 195 miles, or road. Gov.
Jenkins indorsed only $450,000, but he was
not in office after the timo when the com
pany commenced to extend tho road be
yond tho point to whieh.it was completed
at tho time of the passago of tho act. It
was extended under Bullock, and he in
dorsed for tho amount authorized by tho
act. So your committee conclude that the
conditions of the act itself were at least
so far complied with as to render tho in
dorsement binding on tho State. But
the question of most difficulty I133 been
to determine whether the conditions of
the resolution have been complied with.
It appears that $800,000 is all that ha3
been subscribed and paid in directly 03
capital stock by private individuals. It
also appears that in 1867, a dividend of
fifty per cent, on the original stock wa3
declared, amounting to $400,000, thus in
creasing the capital stock to $1,200,000.
$200,000 was also paid ia from tho sale of
cotton owned, and this wa3 also a divi
dend, but wa3 paid into tho company,
wMch makes it the same as if the stock
holders had paid it in. Tho indorsement
of $1,000,000 wa3 without condition, and
no question can be possibly mado upon
the issuo to that extent, but wo have
only $91,6-10 to supply tho indorsement
upon tho remaining $950,000 resumed.
Your committee aro satisfied that the
cost of tho road was not much less
than $18,000 per mile. The cost of
construction, right of way, rock cut,
transportation for hands* and cost
of first fifty miles, appears to have
been $3,349,149. Your committee do not
think tho act wa3 .strictly complied with
in this respect, and that it could bo lib
erally satisfied in no other way than by a
bona fide subscription to and payment of
tho stock, hut it seems to us that its
security is as well subserved by tho pay
ment of money into the actual construc
tion of tho road as by a subscription to
stock. As the Stato was bound to indorse
$1,000,000 of these bonds without con
dition, and as the statute has been so
nearly complied with in tho issuing of
tho remaining $950,000, and as tho State
has seized and mnst hold tho read for ita
security upon the larger portion of this
issue of bonds, and as it is almost an im
possibility to separate tho bonds of this
issno tho ono "from the other, wo must
recommend that tho Legislature as3umo
tho payment of this entire issuo, viz:
$1,950,000 of first mortgage bonds, issued
under tho act of the third of December,
1866.
We find that after tho road had been
completed and turned over by the con
tractors, tho Legislature passed an act,
approved by Bullock in 1870, ihdorsin:
second mortgage bonds to the amonnt of
$3,000 per mile or $600,000, which was
unconstitutional, and wo recommend
that tho Stato refuse to recognize tho
validity of this issno of bonds.
Wo recommend tho adoption of
resolutions to the above effect, and that
tho Governor he authorized to sell the
road as early as possible at pubHc or pri
vate salo, not later than June 1, 1875.

A Lesson in Manners.—Last week two
young lawyers visited Judge Neilsoa’s
court and obtained a sitting where they
had full view of the defendant and his
party. They improved their opportunity
to look at thorn. This course was disap
proved of by brother Halfiday, who ap
proached the gentlemen as they were
going out after tho proceedings, and said
to one of them:
“Young man, don’t you know better
than to staro at people ? You wero look
ing at Mrs. Tilton all tho while you sat
■there; how would you like it if your sis-,
ter wero stared at in that way ?”
“Well," said tho gentleman (who has
forgotten more lessons in good manners
than Brother Halliday seems to have re
membered), "If my sister came into court
and sat whero she had no business to bo,
I should expect people to stare at her."
Brother Hallidayopanednothis mouth.

What Mrs. Moulton Testified.
Wo find tho following reference to Mra.
Moulton’s testimony in tho Nashville
Union and American, of Saturday s
New Yoek, February 19.—When tho
court mot to-day, Mrs. F. D. Moulton
wa3 placed on tho stand. Sho said, in
the course of her testimony:
In the spring of 18711 had tho first
conversttion with Boechor about a diffi
culty. Ho asked mo if I heard of the
great sorrow in hi3 Hfe, and I replied that
Frank had told mo tho story. He said
he was glad that tlicro was one woman
with whom ho could talk on the subject,
and who might givo him sympathy. Ho
asked mo tho condition of Mr. Tilton, and
if he was angry or could bo kept quiot.
In June, 1873, Beecher had a conversa
tion with mo in wMoh ho expressed
Ms fear that tho letter of confessaion
would ho published. Ho said that
Theodoro Tilton was a man not to
he trusted. I advised Mm to go to his
church for comfort and rely upon his
congregation. Ho threatened to take
his life, and said there was no uso of hi3
living any longer. He said he was al-
ways°afraid of Tilton breaking out with
tho wholo story. I sajv him on the fol
lowing day. He was still downcast, but
more hopeful. He always spokoj to mo of
Mrs. Tilton and Ms great love for her.
He asked me to havo great respect for
her and speak kindly to her. I had con*
versations with Mrs. Tilton, in which sho
asked mo to believe in Mm and go hack
to the church, as ho was not responsible
for the matter, but that she (Mrs. Til
ton,) was. I said I would never go back
to the church, os I had lost all faith in
Beecher. I had another conversation
with her in which sho said if matters
came out, sho would sacrifice herhusband
rather than Beecher and her children.
When I told Beecher that Mrs. Tilton
said she was to blame, he replied that
tho sin wa3 his and not Elizabeth’s.
Beecher, on one occasion, expressed
regret at tho sorrow and suffering he
had brought on Tilton’s household, and I
replied that tho woman was as much to
blamo as tho man in sucli a case.
In talking with mo ono day ho said it
was very cruel that Elizabeth should havo
confessed at all; it was unjust to him.
He could not understand it. Ho did not
know why sho should havo done it; but
that sho should havo allowed Mm to visit
her for six months after she had confess
ed to her husband was a greater mystery
to him, subjecting Mm to unpleasant
greeting and meetings with Mr. Tilton.
He oonld not understand why she allow
ed him to visit her houso without having
told him that sho had confessed to her
husband*
A Sad Expebience.—After shaking
hands at a ferry dock the other day, one
colored man inqujfed of another:

Important Decisions In Rail'
road Law.
Correspondence of the New York World.]
Chicago, February 8.—Two very im
portant decisions in railroad law havo
just been delivered in the Supremo Court
of Illinois, as follows:
I. Liability of a Railroad for Valuable
Baggage.—Carrow, a traveler for a New
York jewelry dealer, had with him on the
MicMgan Central road a trunk which
was nearly of the common kind, though
somewhat heavier and stouter than
usual. It had no distinctive mark, and
was checked like ordinary baggage. In
formation a3 to its contents was not
given to the company. It was destroyed
by fire at Buchanan, MicMgan, and
Carrow, claiming that it contained sam
ples to the value of $30,000, brought suit to
recover and recovered $32,000^ in the
Circuit Court of this (Cook) county. Tho
company appealed, and tho Supremo
Court has reversed the judgment. It
claimed that tho company had no notice
os to the valuable contents of the trunk;
that there was nothing to show their
valuo; that there was constructive fraud
on plaintiff’s part in giving such a trunk
thus; that his own negligence deprived
him of any title to great consideration,
and that it would requiro gross negli-
gence, amounting to wilful neglect, on
tho part of the company, to make it lia
ble. Plaintiff could oMy be entitled to a
reasonable amount as the valuo of such
personal property as an ordinary traveler
would carry with him.
II. Liability of Sleeping Car Companies.
Tho decision is the same as that just de
livered at Buffalo in re C. W. Ree3 vs.
Pullman Palace Car Company, but pro
ceeds on a different line*o£ argument.
Smith, a cattle dealer, proceeding on a
PuUman car from Chicago to St. Louis,
claimed to have had stolen from the
pocket of his vest, wMch he had placed
beneath hi3 pillow on retiring, $1,180.
Ho sued to recover in the Cook County
Circuit Court, and was given $227 as tho
amount that an ordinary traveler would
carry with Mm. Tho Pullman Company
appealed, and the Supremo Court reversed
tho judgment. In it3 decision tho Su
premo Court held that the Palace car com
pany fell quito short of filling tho charac-
of an innkeeper, furnishing only lodging
to a certain class, who have already paid
fare and purchased first class tickets en
titling them to ride to a certain place.
The company not only doe3 nob receive
pay nor undertako to care for any prop
erty or goods whatever, but notoriously
refuses to do so. Thero was no necessi
ty hero such as existed in tho caso of the
keeper of the inn. Tho traveler _ was
not compelled to accept the additional
comfort of tho palace car. Ha might
havo remained in tho ordinary car. There
wero safe and easy means within Ms
reach (in the baggage and express cars)
for carrying money and baggage. Hence
there was no necessity for imposing tho
duty and liabiHty on tho company, wMoh
did not, father, render a service mado
mandatory by law, as in tho caso of an
inn-keeper.
Roles on Poker,
BY GENERAL SKUNK.
From the Cincinnati 1 ®iinesj
1. Don’t buy but half as many chips at
the start as tho other players. The expec
tation is that you will win, and if you
lose, it is better to borrow or "owo” np.
2. Never ante up till some one tells you
to, and then say that you have, and stick
to it, which will generally persuade some
one else to "come 'in” twice. This rule,
though an excellent one, must ho follow
ed with discretion. If practiced too
often it is liable to produce unpleas
ant feelings.
3. Toward the cad of tho evening it i3
always better to owe up your ante "for a
minute” than to put up, as the winner of
the pot frequently forgets to charge np
the debits, and none of the other players
will remind him, as they may wish to do
the samo thing.
4. "When the credit system begins to
creep in, as it generally does about tho
middle of tho game, you should always
oure up if possible, and bet chiefly against
those who always put up. TMs is one oE
the most important rules. To win in cash
and lose on credit is the great secret of
successful poker playing.
5. In deaHng, always observe the bot
tom card, which you can easily do beforo
the cut. Then, by noticing how thick a
cut is made, you can tell whether that
card goes out. Thi3 may help you in tho
draw.
6. Keep a sharp eye on the discards.
They may be of service if your draw i3
not satisfactory.
7. When you are "in luck,” watch your
opportunity, from time to time, to put
some of your cheeks in your pocket with
out being seen. Thi3 will enable you to
"owe” up if luck turns, and will prevent
your being borrowed from.
8. When anyone wants to bay more
checks, and you havo plenty, get Mm to
buy of you, u possible, in preference to
the hank. It enables you to conceal the
amount of your winnings, and, beside, the
hank may not ho ablo to pay np.
9. When you aro “chipping out” for
drinks, etc., put a segar in your pocket
every once in a while. You aro sure to
be so much ahead of tho game, and they
como in very handy, even when you don’t
smoke.
10. Never permit anytMng to make
you forget for a moment that the whole
object of your game is to save your own
money and secure somebody elso’s, and
lot everytMng you do, however trilliDg,
tend to‘this desirable end.
11. When the game is over, if you are
winner, deny it entirely, or fix tho figures
as low as possible; if you aro loser, de
clare that you have lost twice as much as
you really have. This rulo i3 never de
parted from. Tho money lost at a game
of poker always foots up four times as
much a3 tho money won.
12. When it is inconvenient to avoid
paying your poker debts entirely, use
discrimination in tho matter. Debt3 to
persons whom you aro not likely to meet
very often you can avoid. Many players
feel a delicacy abont asking for a poker
debt—these aro safe ones not to pay.
SHORT ON CORPSES.

New Orleans Picayune. I
Sheridan comes out short on his mur
der statement. We are beginning to
doubt Ms capacity as a statistician. He
first asserted that 3,500 persons had been
killed in Louisiana since I860 on account
of political opinions, and now, at the last
moment,rather tamely and ignominiously
acknowledges that the number is only
2,141. He tried hard to reach the original
3,500. Ho believed everytMng that Pack
ard told him, and listened to Field and
Campbell until Ms hair stood up; but it
was no go, ho couldn’t get together more
than 2,141, figuro it wMch way he chose.
Ho went to Plaquemine, rushed over to
Brashear, made a descent on Vicksburg,
threw in tho epidemic of 1867 and tho
great Shreveport pestilence of 1873; hut
2,141 was tho best he could do, and with
that ho had to be content.
Wo can understand that Sheridan must
feel dreadfully cat up over this melan
choly business. It is a serious thing to
fall short 1,359 corpses, especially when
the number contracted-for is only 3,500.
Sheridan has done the cause a service,
however, after all. But for his valuable
contribution, tho committee wouldn’t
have had any murders worth mentioning.
Tho witnesses failed to show more than
seventy or eighty altogether, including
Colfax and Coushatta, and the murder
and assassination business was tottering
to bankruptcy. Everybody willbe grate
ful to Sheridan, we are sure, for coming
to the rescuo with 2,141 bodies—so grate
ful that they will ask no questions as to
where ho got them, or who certified to the
killing. This is an emergency in which
even a handful of hair would bo accepta
ble, and Sheridan ha3 certainly done nobly.
There are fifteen foreign bom citizens
in the present Congress. Two of them,
Schurz, tho German, and Jones, the
Welshman, are in the Senate. In the
House there are -five Irishmen, four
Scotchmen, two Englishmen, one Cana
dian and quo Mexican.
TUo Bobolink,
Once, upon a golden afternoon,
■With radiant fares and hearts in tune
Two fond lovers,™ dreaming uk.-.’i
Threaded a rural solitude,

That the earth waa brightind the sire

Charmed the way as they passed alone 4
Tho air was fragrant with wood and scent,
Tho squirrel frisked on the roadside fenee-*'
And hoyenng near them, "Chee, dice
Queried the curious bobolink. ’
Pausing and peering with sidelong head
As saucily, questioning all they said •' ’
\VhUo the ox-eye danced on its Llcndcr
And all glad nature rejoiced with theniu
Over the odorous fields were strewn
Wilting winrows of grass newmown.
Ana rosy billows of clover bloom
Surged in the sunshine and breathedr,e>»rn.
Swinging low on a slender limb. ‘'—--A
The sparrow warbled his wedding hymn
And balancing on a blackberry
The bobolink sung with his heart on fire
"Chink! Jf yon mish to kiss her, do ! a

Kiss her ! kiss, kiss her ! Who will tee ?
Only wc three ! we three! we three
Under garlands of drooping vines,
Through dim vistas of sweet-breathed pine*.
Past wide meadow-fields, lately mowed'
Wandered tho indolent country road.
Thelovors followed it, listening still,
And. loitering slowly, as lovers will.
Entered a gray-roofed bridge that lay
Dusk and cool, in their pleasant way,
Undents arch a smooth,brown stream.
Silently glided with glint and gleam.
Shaded by graceful elms which spread
Their verdurous canopy overhead—
The stream so narrow, the boughs so wide
They met and mingled across the tide,
Alders loved it, and seemed to keep
Patient watch as it lay asleep.
