Secretary of the Treasury be direct
ed to issue immediately in payment
thereof, the $10,000,009 in legal tenders
ia< kept in the treasury as a spooial

reaey."
Garfield made a point of order that the
amendment was not germane to the bill.
After qaito an animated discussion, in
which McMahon, Kelly, Weaver and oth
ers iniisted there was no reason for keep
ing this $10,000,000 In the treasury, the
Speaker decided that the amendment was
in order, and it, after being additionally

Dhstruction or a Causes bt Fibs.—
Savannah News:
A postal card from McIntosh county
informs ns that on the 1st instant Mt.
Olivet Methodist Church was destroyed
by fire, caused by firing the woods. This
reckless burning of woods is very repre
hensible at all times, but especially at
the season of the year'when high winds
are ao prevalent. It injures the land,
destroys to a great extent theforests, and
places the property of every one in the
vicinity of the fires in great peril. It is
to be hoped the enormous damage inflict
ed eo lately thronghont Georgia by this
means will induce onr people to abandon
the culpable practice.
Dead.—The News announces the do
cease of Colonel Joseph S. Claghorn, on
Taeedsy, at his residence on the Isle of
Hope.
Colonel Claghorn was born in the State
of Connecticut in the year 1817, and was
educated at Yale College, the late Attor
ney General of the United States, Mr.
Taft, being one of his teachers. In 1840
he began commercial life in this city as
the junior partner of the firm of Wood &
Clsghorn, who succeeded Samuel Clag.
horn, the father of the deceased. In 1848
Colonel Claghorn formed a copartnership
under the firm name of Claghorn & Cun
ningham with Major John Cunningham,
which continued nntrl the year 1877.
In 1856 he was elected Captain of the
Chatham Artillery, which office he held
nntil the fall of 1862, when ho was made
an honorary member, and so continued
until the time of his death
In 1846 he was united in marriage to
Miss Sarah C. Hunter, daughter of the
late Wm. P. Hunter, esq., of this city, of
which marriage there are eight surviving
children.
Of Colonel Claghom’a private charac
ter we can use no terms that would be
too high praise. Few men have ever
lived in this community who have im
pressed upon It so high an opinion of
their personal integrity and honor. This
was the first impression that a stranger
received, and it grew stronger by ac-
qnaintancoand intimacy. This commu
nity mourns the loss of each a man, and
bis widow and ohildren cannot bnt re
ceive profound sympathy.

In reference to the mode of obUinieg
licenses the New* eayB Mr. Heidt
was particularly severe in denunciation
of tho new law which now requires that a
pharmacist ehall obtain a certificate from
the State board at Milledgeville. He
had inquired in regard to the modus oper
ands, tne questions to be answered ne
cessary to obtain this contemptible little
piece of paper (at snch a price as $50,
the applicant having to bear the expense
to and from Milledgeville) and he was
disgusted. Such examinations ahonld
not be tolerated in Georgia. He favored
a danse in the law requiring the board
to bold sessions at stated intervals tn ev
ery CongraeBional district in the State,
instead of r> q iicrag applicants to leave
their business ror several days, incur the
expense of travel to Milledgi-villj and so
journ there and pay their $25 for this
little piece of paper.
Mr. Rankin here mad* some sensible
remarks in reference to the matter, stat
ing that the law had been devised espe
cially to facilitate the procuring of li
censes by young men, and at reasonable
cosh
Mr. Schumann said the great objection
to the preeent Board of Examiners was
that they were appointed for life, and
could do just as they pleased as long ue
the law existed. U. erthe proposed law
the members of the board wonld be re
commended by tbo association and wonld
hold office for only three years, and wonld
be from different cities in the State, and
examinations wonld be facilitated.

A Bad Negbo.—Lumpkin Independent:
A negro man came to town a few days
ago to have a tooth extracted. He first
tried the older practitioners, and auk*
invari-bly seized the hand that held the
forceps in both of hh hRode* it web found
impossible to pnll it- Oar regular den
tist then tried it, with a man holding
each of the negro’s shoulders and one at
bis head. In spite of this, whenever the
cold steel touched the tooth, .the negro
wonld rise, and it wonld have taken a
Samson to have held him. The doctors
tried to give him chloroform, bnt be
ref ased to take it. He was finally turned
over to air jonog men, who worked on
him for an hoar and a half. His tooth
was ent around with a pocket-knife, and
ceveral long pulls and pull* altogether
failed to fetch it. After he went home
he told hia employer “dat dem young
men vaa all strangers to m?, and I had
aix eea silver dollars in mv pocket. I be
lieve it I had stayed in town another day
Fd been killed. Yon don’t ketch dia nig
ger takin chloroform, whether they git
my tooth ont or not.” He bought a bot
tle of red-eye, and will wait until he cats
his other eye-too*h, as it m quite evident
that he has cat one.
Efxicact or Praxes.—Independent
A few days ago a negro man fnlly a hun
dred years old was sent to Florence for a
load of gnano, and it fell to hia lot, aided
by Sam Carter, to load the wagon. Sam
usually keeps a negro man to load wag
ona, bnt on this occasion he was absent.
He told the old man that the only way
to get the 200 pound sacks on the wagon
was to ask the Lard to help them. No
sooner caid than the negro was down
npon his knees and offered a moat pa
thetic appeal. After the prayer the
wagon was quickly loaded, uni Sam was
astonished to find ont that he waa nearly
aa strong as the guano. Sam says that
he will cherish this little incident and re
late it to his children when he gets old.

The Gold Snap in Southern Georgia.
—Thomasvilie Enterprise: On Thursday
morning a alight froet was visible, bnt
did no damage. The wind continued
from the northwest and on both Friday
and Saturday nights there was a right
sharp freeze. On the first morning we
measured ice in a horse-trough just one-
qnarter of inch thick. The in j ary of veg
etables and cotton by these freezes waa
very considerable, though not universal.
Many gardens seemed to es: ape almost
entirely, while others were severely dam
aged. Especially were many of the Irish
potatoes and field peas injured. Fall
ninety per cent, of these were killed to
the ground in many places. Many simi
lar patches, however, escaped almost en
tirely. Bnt for the dryness of the ground
and atmosphere, occasioned by preceding
winds, gardens wonld undoubtedly have
been generally and severely damaged.
To what extent the cotton fields suf
fered we cannot Bay, bat jadgo that the
injury was considerable. It is seldom
that ootton, coming np from seed pat ont
far manure, is killed, but daring these
nights much of tbia sort of cotton was
killed. From the best estimate that;we oan
form of the acreage of ootton already np
in the oounty there coaid not have been
less than one thousand acres, and we fear
that the greater portion of this will have
to be planted over.
Nothing definite oan be said yet abont
the fruit crop. Some think it eerionsly
injured; others believe to the oantrary.
We doubt not that some lbjnry was sus
tained, bnt are inclined to think it very
slight.
The weatherwise now think winter
gone, and feel perfectly easy on the sub
ject of cold weather.

New YorK Cotton Trade.
The New York daily Bulletin ot the 8th
instant say the daily sess ons of the cotton
exchsngelsst week wsbprobably the most
exciting of any that has ever occurred,
end certainly more so than for many tea.
Tho bnsiness in options was very
remarkable, reaching the enormous total
of 880,000 bales for th6 six days, while
liberal addition to tbo valneB was made
the gain from the Ion eat point, being
95@97 points, or within a email fraction
of one cent per pound advance, most of
which was retained. So liberal was the
movement and rapid the improvement at
times that even some of the moBt posi
tive '‘bulls’’ found themselves outdone in
the bidding. Everybody who was “short”
did what they could to correct their error,
while the scrambles to secure cotton was
universal among the regular trade, and
the infection spread to a Urge number of
ontside operators.
From Monday up to Friday there was
an almost uninterrupted advance, bnt on
the latter day it became evident that
with the reckless bidding the market was
ovexbonght, and suddenly on a lull in the
demand and an increase in the offering,
there was a straight drop of over thirty
points. Tbis waa a surprise and appear
ed to revive tbo b:foro dormant “bear”
spirit to some exten'; but the aggressive
measures adopted were not sufficient to
retain the advantage, and during the fol
lowing day the loss was pretty mnob re
gained, with the market finally cloerag
on Saturday evening very firm and the
“bull” feeling again dominant. Without
going over and reoapitnlatiug already
well ventilated detaile, the basis for the
advance is still to be found in the great
discrepancy as shown in the present sup
plies as compared with former years, the
atrODg evidences of light additions to
come, and a more general bslief that cot
ton mast be increased in cost until the
production of goods is curtailed suffi
ciently to equalize the supply and the de
mand.

Keclpa for a Solid North
A’.cording to ths Washington corres
pondent of the Chicago Times, corrobor
ated by the correspondents of several
other Northern papers, there is a man in
Washington with a scheme to eloct a Re-
pnblicsn President in 1880 by importing
from the South enongn negroes to carry
the three States of New York, Ohio and
Indiana. His name is "Col.” Hooker, t>f
Now York, and he is a brother-in-law of
the late James Fisk. He intends to lay
his plan before tho leading Republicans
in Congress and hopes to have it adopt
ed. He sa]B a million dollars can be
raised in New York in a single day for
this purpose. He wonld go into the
Sonth and boldly advertise hia scheme
and get as many recruits aa possible and
then ship them North to be distributed
by agents among the farmers of the
States in which they are needed. Oae
hundred thousand to New York, fifty
thousand to Ohio, and seventy-five thou
sand to Indiana will be sufficient, Col.
Hooker thinks, to tnrn the sca'e and give
those three States over to the Republican
narty.
The Colonel then prooeeds to argue
the morality and legitimaoy of ths scheme
showing that it wonld benefit the negro
on the one hand, and advanoe the osuse
of blah political morals on the other.
For, since it has beoorna painfully appa
rent that a good many white people in
New York, Indiana and Ohio don’t know
howto voti as they onght to do, it be
comes a pore missionary work to send
negroes np there to show them the way,
both by precept and example.
This ingenious and admirable anheme,
the Colosel is anxious to pat ia opera
tion without delay, so aa to have his
forces all at hand and under proper dis
cipline by the November elections of next
year. Bub we think he has underrated
the expense ot the project. He must
make a larger allowance for-non-voting
emigrants — women and children—to
make aura work of these States and allow
a margin for leakage through the wiles
of unscrupulous Democrats. We ahonld
Bay hia scheme wonld require at least
400.000 emigrant* ia all, which, at the
•mall average coat of ten dollars a head
for tranaportatloa, wonld wreck at least
four millions of dollars.
Therefore it behooves the men of high
moral idea* to be passing around the hat
in a lively manner, and to make extraor
dinary requisitions on the departments at
Washington.

The acoompenying communication
speaks for itself. We certainly did not
intend, and coaid have no object in mis
representing any one connected with the
laudable work of erecting a new parson
age for the worthy incumbent of the
Mulberry Street Methodist Church,pul
pit, We wisb the enterprise well, ‘ and
bid all God speed who are engaged in the
pr alee worthy enterprise:
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Where
honor in doe let it rest npon those who
deserve it. In your very kind editorial
notice published on the 8th inst., of the
Mulberry Street Methodist Semi-Centen
nial, I think yon do not do fall justice to
the ladies who are the workers in the
Parsonage Aid Society of the Mnlberry
Street Methodist Chxrch.
Yon stated in your editorial that the
“members of Mulberry Street Church
had published the proceedings, etc., of
the Semi-Centennial exercises.” The
facta in the oaae are these: Several
years ago about twenty zealous, good
women, members of that church, organ
ised themselves into a sewing society,
which they call now the Parsonage Aid
Society of Mulberry Street Methodist
Church. They meet at different
private houses, on Wednesday of eaoh
week. They do sewing, knitting, embroid
ering or crocheting. They bny materials,
ont and make, in the beat manner, any
kind of garments for ladies or children,
or for gentlemen’s underwear; they also
make np garments and send them ont in
the city for sale, and sell them for less
than they can ba bought at the stores
ready made. They not only work while
at the Sooiety meeting, bnt many of them
take work home and do it there.
These zealous, noble women have
earned, by tbeir own unaided efforts,
thousands (I mean what I eay), thousands
of dolltrs, which they have expended in
keeping np the furniture, bedding and
bed-ototbing, the towels and napkins, the
crockery, the knives, forks and spoons, the
oookiDg atoveand kitchen furniture,and in
feo% everything belonging to the parson
age of Mulberry street Methodist Churofa.
They have also aided and assisted the
poor of the ohuroh in various ways, and
only a few years sgothsy rented a house
and employed a teacher and kept np a
school for poor children of every ohuroh
and some of no ohuroh, free to all, for
over a year, until the pnb'.io schools were
organized. They paid every cent of the
expense of the seaool by their own tin-
sided efforts. They did not beg it either;
they worked for it, and gave good and
fall valae for every dollar they got from
the pnbiio. Neither have they resorted
to any pnbiio entertainments or exhibi
tions, except in a few instances. They
have bad festivals or suppers, where they
always gave fall value for all they oharged.
They have now, np to this time, paid
in cash to the parsonage building com
mittee three hundred and fifty dollars of
their own money towards bnildiug the
parsonage; besides this they have thirty
dollars on deposit, and are workine for
more, to enable them to furnish tho par
sonage, when completed, with entiro new
fnmltura. •-.
After the exercises of the semi centen
nial closed, the Rev. Geo. G. N. McDon-
ell, the pastor at that time, obtained
from ths authors a copy of tneir addressee,
sermons, poems, etc., delivered on that
occasion, together with a jonrnal of all
the proceedings, and wrote out and com
piled them in book form, m.akiDg a small
book of about one hundred pages. Mr.
McDonell presented the manuscript to
tbo ladies of the Parsonage Aid Sooiety,
and not to the church. These twenty
ladies employed 3. W. Burke & Co., to
srint and bind it for them at a considers-
rle expense for whicti they alone became
responsible, to J. W. B.& Co.; now they
propose to sell this very interesting tittle
volume at 50 cents a copy, post paid, on

They are not bills of credit, certificates,

i’he Blessed Baby Bonds.
Throngh tbe courtesy of a friend, we
are permitted to publish a letter from J.
W. Eenfroe, Esq., the efficient Treasurer
of the St ita of Georgia, whioh effeotually
disposes of all donbts as to the legality of
tbe Garrard Bonds.
As'stated in onr editorial of yesterday,
they are strictly legitimate, taking eqnal
rank with any ot the other eecnrities of
the State or Union, besides being a great
convenience to small capitalists and far
mers.
The “Baby Bonds,” ought to bs eager
ly sought after and made the special pets
of every household in Georgia. There is
no discount upon them.
Hear wbat Treasurer Renfroe says:
State or Gxoeoia.TbeabubyDxp’t.,
Atlanta, Ga t April 9,1879
Messrs. ■> ——, Macon, Ga.:
Yonr letter of the 8th has jnst been re
ceived, enclosing press telegram clipped
from the Macon newfpaper.about the four
per cent, bonds. The statement about
these bonds telegraphed from Washing
ton as having been furnished by the
comptroller of tbe currency, is not an
official decision and has no weight or
effect. It does not appear to be so much
as an authoritative statement of that
officer, and if it is, it is simply a sugges
tion made without examination into the
facts or the law, and decides nothing.
Allot the points of objaction, whether
of law, fact or constitution, was fnlly dis
cussed by the General Assembly before
the law was passed anthorizing the is
sue of these bonds. There is nothing
new in these objections. They were
thoroughly sifted and foned to have no
point in them.
Thera bonds are not analogons in any
way to the Alabama certificates of 1872
and 1872 receivable in payment e! taxes
and dues to the State. They were cer
tificates—these are bonds. These were
designed to be used for currenoy purpo
ses to far as paying State taxts were con
cerned. These are not. These are bonds
and nothing else. The decisions Ot the
Sapreme Conrt of the United States
have no application to these
bonds. The decisions expressly
oover notes “issued by a State, designed
to oironUte as money on tbe credit of tbe
State in tbe ordinary oonrae of bnsinss3.”
And where tbe decisions refer to denomf-
The Bxoaus of tbe Negroes
from tbe South.
All Ibe aoosnota that reach Washing
ton from the Sonth, says the correspond
ent of the Richmond Dispatch, indicate
that the negroes ore very mash
worked np in regard to going West
and North, and that they have the idea
that some Muses is to rise np and leid
them from Egypt to the Promised Lund.
The ultra Radioals at Washington, in
cluding Zroh. and William E. Chandler,
and Infidel Bob Ingersoll, are also greatly
interested in the movement—so much so
that Ziob. offers them land and a male
and Bob Ingersoll says he will give half
he can make by his iectare on hell and
against the Bible in aid of the oanse.
Now, these Radleal leaders do not osie a
fig for the personal comfort of the ne
groes, and I have been anxions to ascer
tain why they are so mnoh interested in
aiding them to emigrate from tbeir
homes to a strange country.
I asked first a Southerner wbat it
meant, and he replied: “It means that
these Utopian negro-worshippers are
persuading the black man to leave a peo
ple, a country, and a climate suited to
sis race by centnries of residence in the
Sonth, to seek homes in a colder region,
where the negro has never met with
either sympathy or assistance.” I pro-
>ounded the same question to a Northern
Republican, and he said, “It will take the
negro from a land of bondage to a homo
of freedom, and make men and women of
hia children.”
A Western Democrat, to whom I com-
municated the above answers, said: “All
that is fudge, as it means politics, and
nothing more or less, for Zrch Chandler
cares no more for their bodies than Bob
Ingersoll does for their souls. The move
ment indicates,” said he, “that even with
the troops at the polls these Radical
managers cannot now see how tbey can
rescue the solid Sou'h from the Demo
crats ; but they do see how by tbe trans
portation of negro voters from tbe South
to the West, Western States now doubt-
fol can be made secure for Ulysses in
1880.
“They have taken time by tho forelook,
and it will not cost more to do this than
to use tbe onstomsry measures for mak
ing Democratic Stales with small ma-
i;-" 1 - "fonhlioan.” ' A leading Massa
chusetts journalist says n .a ..—
tho movement is intended to decrease tbe
population of the Sonth so as to diminish
representation in 1880. He believes that
thonsandB, Bfter they get West, will be
gradually taken to New York, New Jer
say, and Connecticut. Money, and a great
deal of it, is being used, be eayB, by tbe
inanguiarars aod managers of this cruel
scheme. Yon will hear more of it.
Rsiney, ex-Congressman from South
Carolina, and other prominent negroes
who sojourn in Washington in hope of
being provided fer, are holding meetings
on tbe subject, and say tbe negroes from
their States are anxious to emigrate lo a
new country where they can enjoy, I sup
pose, such political privileges as they had
when South Carolina and other States
were robbed of every dollar that could
b9 reached. Riiney is one of a colored
commission that is to be sentWeBtto
look after the movement and report his
observations to Zrch. Chandler.

double-leaded declaration in favor of
Tilden, revives the story that Tilden has
a mortgage of $50,000 on. the Courier-
