—The feoundity of the native New Eng
land people, says tho Courier-Journal, is a
thing of the past, and the foreign-born po

manner which indicates that the native race

cline in Massachusetts was 11,7Gb ia 1875,
II, 020; in 1875, 10.773; in 1877, 10,185. The
State cornu# of Massachusetts in 1877
showed tho native population to be 1,233,-
003, producing only 16,897 children. The
naturalized and unnaturalized foreigners,
numbering 418,9C4, producing 18.C71 children
In the same tints. In Vermont the birth rate
has fallen to twenty-two per thousand, and
Is only seventeen and a half per thousand
among the nativo bom population, which
number 2S3.393, and produced only 4,963
children during the last year, During the
same period the 47,155 foreign-bom inhabi
tants produced 2,CG3 children. A similar
decline in the number of children of the
natives is reported In the other New Eng
land States, and the fact is ominous of the
faturo control of that section by the new
comers. A very large immigration of French
Canadians to New England has been going
on for many years.

well Done.
In the State Senate the bill repealing
the aot of Deoember 16,1878, amending
the law for the punishment of murder so
as to make a recommendation of mercy
on tho part of the jury binding on the
court, has passed by the decisive majority
27 yeas to 15 nays. This was done in
thefaoeofa majority report to the con
trary from the Judiciary Committee.
We are proud to record such indepen
dent action on the part of the conaeivAt ve
branch of the Georgia Legislature. Now,
let the House follow suit and do all in its
power to stamp out crime by decreeing
tbst he that nseth the sword shall die by
the sword.
The present law is a practical abolish
ment of capital puniehment even for the
,mcat cold-blooded murders, and it i a
ing most disastrously to the safety
and moral# of the commonwealth.
God himself hath decreed that the
man slayer shall expiate with his life the
crime he ha3 committed, and no human
law should be made paramount to the
commands of the Majesty on High, Time
and again has the experiment of substi
tuting imprisonment for life ae a punish
ment for murder been tried. In every
instance the effeot has proven calamitous
to the true interests of society and the
protection of human life.
Switzerland was the last to try the ex
pedient and she has abandoned it as im
practicable. There is nothing save cer
tain death to the wretched assassin that
can stay his uplifted hand when eeeking
the blood of a fellow being.
Confinement in onr out door penitentia
ries is of very .little significance.
The felon can escape if he will, and to
many negro convicts the life ie not at all
disagreeable. Hero they are assured
shelter and good rations with a moder
ate amount of labor only. Some hare
been known to commit thefts, that they
might bj returned to their old quar
ter*.
It is easy to see then that such punish
ment is wholly inadequate for the wan
ton taking of human fife, and we believe
we utter the sentiments of nine-tenthB
of the people of Georgia when affirming
that the death penalty should be restor
ed at once, by the repeal of the aot above
mentioned.
Thk Dakoebsof Those Who Go Down
into the Sea in Ships.—The Bureau
Veritas gives the following report of mar
itime disasters for May, 1879, which cov
ers the flags of all Christian nations:
Sailing ves-'-i. reported lost—23 Es-
glisb, 15 Aneii.sn, 12 French, 10 Ital-
ion, 7 Garma , 7 Norwegian, 6 Danish,
5 Spanish, 4 Swedish, 2 Dutch, 1 Aus
trian, 1 Portuguese, 4 of which the na
tionality is uukuowF; total, 102. la
this number are included eight vessels
reported missing. Steamers repotted
lo9t— 9 English, 1 German, 1 American,
1 Spanish; total, 12. Ia this number is
included one steamer reported missing.
This is a terrible array for what is usu
ally one of the calmest months ot the
year. Doubtless the aggregate marine
l03see for a year would foot np in the
neighborhood ot two thousand crafts of
all kinds. This does not include the
multitude of disasters to the river steam
ers of inland navigation, which would
add frightfully to the grand total. No
wonder that humanitarians are so much
interested in the planting at all danger
ous points of life saving stations provided
with boats, hawser?, signal rockets, and
all the needed appliances to rescue from
a watery grave the brave seamen and
helpless passengers who are so often
wrecked upon the ereat deep.
A Complaint.—Tho Macon Tele-
gbaph’s Georgia News gatherer either in
tentionally or recklessly ignores the Al
bany News in crediting items,although its
laet Saturday’s issue was well supplied
with clippings from onr columns. We
merely call the attention of the Tele
ar.APH to this fact in order to set that
paper right before the public. Nothing
more.
It has always been the boast of the
Tslzosaph that it did full jaatice to it#
contemporaries whenever drawing upon
their stores of news or knowledge. The
complaint of the Albany News, therefore,
causes us much surprise and regret.
On the day referred to the regular com
piler of the Georgia news was cm of the
city, and we are sare that the locum te
now did aot intentionally ftril to credit
Its excepts from the News.
So far oa this paper is concerned, how.
ever, we never complain if oar “thun
der” is appropriated by any other journal.
Oa the contrary, we like to be endorsed
by appreciating brethren of the press. If
possible the esteemed editor ot the Al
bany News shall have no farther cause
for complaint.
Mr. Beese arrived yesterday and will
now take charge ot the Georgia PreEs

The Belle op Georgia.—This is he
attractive title cf a very superior article
of flour manufactured by tho “Arlington
Flouring Mills” and cold in this city by

this brand will soon become a great fa
vorite with housekeepers. We have re
ceived from the oompany a half-sack
which will be duly sampled and tceted.
Nioe bread from now flour is beoomDgi
quite oommon, and judging by the
plump and unexceptionable character of
our Georgia wheat, it may be safely
affirmed that the old bone of contention
between husband and wife on account of
dirk or damaged flour will not disturb
the domeatio peace of the household for
at least a year to come iu Georgia.

ot such a record the public removes it#
hat, partly in deference, but also that its
steaming brow may be wiped. Sash in

to every one, but the Bufferings of peo

worth mention when the condition of the

No Democrats will be tamed ent of the

Taxation and Representation.
It used to be a fundamental postulate of
our Bystem that taxation shonld secure
representation; but never that represent
ation should be proportioned to the
amount of tax paid. Nevertheless, if one
may credit the letter-writers, John Sher
man has gone dawn E*st to show the
people there how badly they are swin
dled by the South, which, paying a much
smaller revenue than they, is getting a
muoh larger proportion of representation
in Congress thsn she is entitled to, ac
cording to amount paid.
And John’s position, if we may credit
the papers, ia not more hinny than his
mode of sustaining it. For, in showing
tho relative revenues paid by the States,
he credits New York, for example, with
all tho money advanced by her importers
on foreign goods, which goods being sub
sequently sold by her importers and job
bers to all the other States, the duties
advanced on the same are, as a matter of
course, re-collected by the importers and
jobbers, with interest and profits, with
tho same certainty as the original in
voiced price of the goods. John, howev
er, sets down all these advances to the
custom house as so many tux payments
made absolutely to the government by
the State ot New York on her own ac
count, and upon which, according to his
theory, she is equitably entitled to a rep
resentation in Congress.
If there is any merit in the Secreta
ry’s complaint, New York City alone
should have a good deal more than half
the representation in Congress. She
pays seventy-five per cent, of the reven
ue from foreign imports, and there is no
telling what proportion of the other tax
ation of the U. S. Government ie liqui
dated through New York agents, that
city being the great monetary centre o?
the country. If Johu goes down to
Maine with correct figures on his theory,
we fear he will show the Maine men that
so far from being swindled out of a fair
representation, they have got altogether
too much, and must turn a good part of
it over to New York City.
Pernicious Juvenile Literature.
The National Quarterly Review tor July
is a most exoellent number, containing
many scientifio and interesting articles.
The table of contend is as follows:
1. The Belationa of Pbyeloal States to
Mental Derangement.
2. Prinoa Bismarok and German Unity.
3. Tno Nature—Sentiment in Poetry.
4. The Present PnaSa of the Mormon
Problem.
5. The Ratio of Capital to Consump
tion.
6. The Development of Art.
7. PerniO'oas Juvenile Literature.
8. The Doctrine of Peroepticn.
9. The Sutro Tunnel.
10. Reviews and Criticisms.
It thi3 able Review had produced noth
ing more ia the present number than the
single article entitled “Pernicious Juve
nile Literature,” it wonld have conferred
a priceless benefit upon those Who are
charged with the care and training of the
rising generation. The sensational trash
published in weekly so-called literary
journals, the Police Gazettes, and the vile
dime novel* of the day, do icoal-
onlable mischief to the youth of the
country.
Our author announces that not lees
than twenty-five flashy papers like the
above aro printed in New York alone.
They are classed aa “bad, worse, worst.”
The aggregate circulation of these papers
is estimated to be 336.000 copies. At
five readers to each this wonld give the
frightful total of a million and a half
young people who devour this society
poison every week.
These periodicals are not all equally
vicious, but the best of them aro demor
alizing, and in some instances they de
scend to the lowest depths of iniquity.
The stories have usually the moat cap
tivating and astonnding titles, just Buch
as are calculated to excite the cariosity
and interest of the inexperienced youth.
We give a sample: “Dashing Dolores,
or Cnracapin Dick on the Border,” “Spi
der and Stamp, the Plagues of the Vil
lage,” “The Boy Pedestrian, or Walking
for Life,” etc., etc. These narratives
are made np of the most absurd and pre
posterous events, all of the “raw head and
bloody bones” order, und forming gilded
caricatures of life which entice, charm,
and wickedly deceivo the boy whoso plas
tic mind, like a sponge, absorbs every
thing. No wonder that the sowing of
such dragons teeth brings forth a harvest
of crime and depravity.
Sum* of the effects of such reading,
brUfl •.tated, are as follows:
It familiarizes the young mind with
orime, and even exalts it into heroism.
It inouloates false and unreal ideas of
praolical life, and tempts the young ad
venturer to beoome another Dick Turpin
or rover of the Eea, who goes forth to
cirva ont his own fortunes without toil
or industry, unmindful that a bloody
death on the gallows may be h:s end.
These books also destroy all reverenco
for law and parental government, and
tend to produce a worthless clasB of dis
contented drones who tivo by their wits
and are the curse of any community.
The authors’ remedy ia parental vigi
lance not only in repressing the taste for
each corrupt litera'arc.bat in utilizing the
desire for knowledge by placing in the
handa of the youth interesting sketches
of travel, biography and history.
Soon tho young mind will take dgligbt
in each works, and then it can easily be
taught to take higher flights in the
realms of knowledge. ,
Another antidote to this evil ho thinks
may be found in a “well-orlertd library
and reading roam. That such institu
tions are of mncli value, many towns
and villages will testify. That they may,
however, counteract rather than inorease
the evil, the books end periodicals in
them moat be wisely selected.”
Otherwise, if the very olas3 of publi
cations, so much to bs deprecated, are
admitted to the shelves of a free libra
ry, what was designed to bo a public
benefaction degenerates into a potent
engine of evil.
The Superintendent of a Hartford Li
brary Aosociation recently reported that
one boy had taken ont 102 story books in
six months, and one girl 112 novels in
the same time.
Bat wo can devote no more space to
this timely and most judicious article.
Our readers would do well to proonre a
copy of the National Quarterly Review for
July, and peruse and ponder over its
valuable suggestions for themselves.

Tbe Great Wholesale House of
Messrs. 8. T. Coleman & Co.
The reader will find elsewhere in this
is3uea very expressive and significant
advertisement ot this noted firm, which
cannot fail to arrest the attention ot the
merchants of Georgia.
Messrs. Coleman & Co. cirry probably
aa large a stock of dry goods, shoes and
domestics as any houaa south of Balti
more. ,
Their late purchases of shoes amount
ed to $75,000, and they have this mo
ment on hand, stored in immense bnlk in
their capacious basement, no less than
$50,000 ot baled staple goods. This is
aside from notions, prints, white goods,
woolens, and a multitude of other articles
of merchandise which go to make up a
first-class dry goods establishment. When
the new purchases, in transitu and leav
ing New York almost every day, all arrive,
the stock of the house actually on sale
will amount lo fully two hundred thou
sand dollars,
Messrs. Coleman & Co. were peculiar
ly fortunate also in laying in this im
mense stock of shoes, covering every
grade and variety, at bottom prices from
the manufacturers direct, before the late
rise. They could not now be duplicated
by those who unde them, much less by
the jobbers of New York. This gives them
a handsome margin to operate upon,
which they are determined shall inure to
the benefit of their customers.
Country merchants will, doubtless,
avail themselves of this exceptional op
portunity to replenish their Btocks on
better terms than if they went North,
besides saving the expanse and loss of
time involved by the trip.
The senior of the firm is now absent
at New York, completing the fall par-
ohases of the house. Wnea he returns,
the public will again hoar something to
their advantage, concerning this mam
moth Southern establishment. Quantum
sufficit.
Macon’s Enterprise.
It is both eddying and refreshing to
peioeivo the indomitable energy displayed
by those merchants of our oity whose
stores were laid waste so reoentiy by tbe
fire fiend. Messrs. Bogers & Co., with
the portion of their immense stock which
was saved, have opened at the late stand
of Britt & Co., not a whit daunted by the
fire. Mr. Sohall, too, 19 receiving his
many customers as usual at another store
on Mulberry street; Mr. Merkel’s bread
wagon is just as regular as ever in its
daily rounds, dispensing its snowy loaves
to the hungry, and last, bnt not learf,
Messrs. Hunt, Buskin & Lunar have
leased bigger and better accommodations
than their old qnsiters, on Second street,
and were busy as bees yesterday plaoing
and arranging the remnant of their stock.
They have immense shipments of
goods now on'the way, and tbrongh their
Atlanta bones continue to fill every order
sent to them with the utmost diepatob. A
few days only will -suffice to see them in
full blast again, and moving on jast ae
though nothing bad happened to disturb
the 6veu tenor of their way.
This spcek9 volumes for the enterprise
and vim of Macon. Albeit not mnoh
given to braggiog, a stauncher, truer,
more reliable merchant guild oannot be
found in the South. All honor to the no
ble men, whose courage and recuperative
powers not even the desolating A ;mes can
subdue.

A Stranger’s Sons.
Detio'.t Free Frees.]
Borne of those chaps who wear their elfcovrs
down tbin leaning on fa'oon counters, hava
an artificial fly with a fine thread attached
to tho baok, and eomotimes these toys can
ba handled to the amusement of a small
crowd. When an unknown man yesterday
fell aaleep in a saloon on Michigan avenuo
the young man with an artificial fly was
there. He took position bthind his victim,
who wib lying back on his chair, and pres
ently the fly alighted on the stranger's nose,
walked up the bridge and down, and settled
for a moment on the tip end: The elceper
never moved a finger. Tho fly went over
the old route, dove into the comer of the
left eye, galloped over to the right, and
came down to the gr&ud stand on tho detd
run, but tho eleeper slept on. It began to
appear that be was used to flies, and so the
game was changed. By sticking a pin
through one of those toys, you can make
quite a bee of it, tho pin being the etinger.
When the “ bob” descended on the stran
ger's noeo everybody cxpectod to see a sud
den start, hut it did not come. After a jab
at the tip end, tho “ beo” crawled along up,
waiting for developments, and getting in an
occasional sting, but not even a sigh escaped
tbs Bleeper. Ihe young man with the insect
was getting tired when the stranger lazly
opened his eyes, slowly rose np from In#
chair, and coolly remarked:
“ Now, then, if you have got through fool
ing with my nose. Til fool with yours for
awoilo!”
It ian’t likdy that particular young man
will ever dangle artificial fl es any more. Ho
was doubled up, straightened out, choked,
mopped and elammed so thoroughly that
his appetite will run to chicken-broth and
arnica ror some days to coma. When tho
cyclone had passed tho stranger called for
gin, drank it, an! said to tire white faced
crowd on the benoh:

EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION.
The first intelligence of the fire which
devastated a large portion of one of the
most important blocks of buildings in
the city reached the people yesterday
through the Telegraph and Messenger,
and was read with surprise by all. The
fire is one of the largest that has laid
waste a portion of onr fair city in some
time, and the news of its deatrnction was
heard with regret on all sides.
As was stated yesterday, the fire orig
mated in the rear of SchaU’s shoe store,
the first alarm being given by Mr. Wil
lie Brady, of the composing roam of this
paper. The cry of fire was taken up
and echoed for fully fifteen minutes be
fore the sound of a bell gave a general
calL The fire engines then turned ont
with good speed, and scon several
streams were falling on the small wood
en building which was firet on fire. No
damage was apprehended. The flames
were soon entirely under control. The
fire had, however, crossed an intervening
*pace of some twenty feet, to the
building occupied by Messrs.
Hunt, Bankin, & Lamar, and,
as it was covered with shingles,
made considerable progress in its work.
A few moments of well directed playing
from tho engines, however, sufficed to
put ont every vestige of the flames, and
many who had been lookers on returned
’home. It seems, however, that the back
portion of the establishment has been
recently built and that portion was cov
ered with a tin roof. Just at the place
where the tin roofing joined tho shingles
the flames, homing their way through
their outer covering', hid themselves
nndor tho tin. The black smoke
soon rolling out in a heavy volume from
every apperture told the practical fire
man the story of coming danger. One or
two of the companies carried their pipes
nto the second story and began a most
vigorous battle with the flames. The
blending smoke increased until the
firemen were reluctantly forced to fall
back with their lines of hose to the open
air. Among the rafters and timbers of
thereof tbe fire spread rapidly and burst
ing tbrougb, again tcok possession of the
outside. Sparks blew in every direction
from the roof of the first establishment
to the other adjoining on either 6ide and
the whole was in a few moments one
molten sheet of flame. They like some
voracious monster set to devouring the
exterior of the several establishments.
The work was that ot but a few moments.
The flames swept everything before
them. The building had a uniform froat
but was in reality three separate and dis
tinct stores. Unfortunately, however,
there were no dead walls above tbe first
floor and only lathe and plaster separa
ted one division from tbe other.
These were simply swept away.
The work of saving what stock and cf-
fcots.possible commenced, but so rapid
was the march of the monarch of de
struction that nothing in the second
etory of Hunt, Bxnkm & Lamar’s store
was saved, and one or two of the offices
were not even opened* The costly
sicck of the drug house was rudely pitch
ed into the street.
The doors of Messrs. C. H. Bogers &
Co., were opened, and the magnificent
stock of heavy and staple goods rushed
out as rapidly as possible.
In their turn then the firemen were
doing all in their power to snppresst he
flames. Chief Hendrix was everywhere
giving directions, and all five of the
streams were pouring into the fire.
The wind blew steadily from the north
west, thereby lessening the danger to
buildings on either side. The heat,
however, at length fired tbe bakery
bouse of Mr. L. Merkel, across a ten foot
alley atd tbe flames began to make rapid
headway when the wail of the store of
Bogers & Co., gave way, falling outward
ly striking upon the baking shops allud
ed to, razed them to the earth and saved
the establishment from further danger
m this direotion. Several of the firemen
escaped this falling wall by the merest
good fortune.
The danger for Merkel*’, however,
was not over, and bnt for the most vigor
ous work the whole establishment would
have been burned, followed in turn by
other buildings until tbe culmination of
the cjcfisgrstiou would have been reach
ed In the destruction of Balaton Hall. A
line of hose was ran to the top of the
building and a stream of water kept
playing on the parapet and the roofing.
So intense was the heat that only with
the protection of wet blankets could the
gallant firemen faee tbe terrible heat.
Mr. E. Isaacs, one of Macon’s most gal
lant firemen, stood with others bravely at
this post of peril and did noble service.
The danger was nob altogether on this
side. A slight shifting of tbe breeze
brought the heat against tbe handsome
brick baildings on the north of the burn
ing block. Tbe cneementn were fired, and
but for a parapet wall and a tin roof, it
also would have been laid in aehes. The
situation at one time was thrilling, and it
seemed as though the entire side of the
block from Second to Third street would
be swept away. The wator at this time
gave out and the oity was left to the
mercy ot the flames. Tbe wind, however,
again ihifted, blowing across Cherry
street. An old-fashioned line for passing
buckets was atranged and several gentle
men by this means extinguished the fire
in the building occupied by Walker &
Co. About 4 o’clock in tbe morning the
fire was under control and oonfined to the
three stores mentioned above. They
burned to the gronnd and laet evening,
soaroely any of the walls remained stand
ing and an intense heat are slowly rolling
away smoke from the debris of briokand
mortar were all that remained to tel, the
etory.
Tbe firemen worked with unremitting
gallantry and heroism. No. 1 took wa
ter at her own oiatern, No. 2 at the inter
section of Cotton Avenue and Cherry
Street, No. 3 at the Mulberry Street cis
tern, No. 4 at the “City Bulk” cistern,
and No. 5, first at the Mulberry Street
cistern and after»vard at the cistern on
Second Street, near Wall Street, and was
afterward sent to Plum Street. Several
changes were made by the other engines.
Nearly every ladder of Hook tnl Ladder
was put into active use. The Depart
ment worked with more enthusiasm and
harmony than it has in a long while, and
too much praise cannot be given the
gallantry and individual heroism of our
firemen.
Tbe Iobscb may be footed np as fol
lows:
In tbe store of Henry Soball, trustee,
nearly all of the stock was savedand in a
very little damaged condition. Tbe leath
er in tbe basement was burned. On his
stock there was an msuraDOO of $10,000
with Captain Carnes, $3,000 with the
New York Underwriters ; 3.000 with the
Georgia Home and $4,000 in tbe Iasur-
ance Company of North America. There
will be considerable salvage on thiB
amount as Mr. Sohall wco selling out and
it will reduce the amount to abont $4,000.
Messrs. Hunt, Emkin & Lamar
were carrying a stock valued at $45,-
CC3, on which there was an insure
anoo ot $28,000. Of this amount
$7,000 wore with MeBarB. Cobb & Clancy,
$5,000 in the New York Home, and $2,000
in the Lancashire; $2,500 in the Hartford;
and $2,600 in the Georgia Home with
Captain Carnes; $3,000 in the German
American, and $2 500 in the Fhconix of
Hartford with Mr. J. M. Boardman;
$2,500 in the Westchester; $2,500 in the
Virginia Fiie and Marine, and $5,500 in
other companies with Mr. T. U. Conner.
The firm fortunately saved the most of
their quinine and morphine and they
hope that their losses would bo lees
than were at first anticipated.
Messrs. C. H. Bogers & Co. had a largo
stock of goods ranging in value
from $40,000 to $50,000; insured for $30,-
000—$5,000 in the Southern Mutual, $5,-
000 with the Franklin, of Philadelphia,
with J. M, Boardman; $5,COO with Cobb
& C/snoy in the Home, of New York;
82,000 in the Underwriter? of Now York,
$6,000 in the Insurance oompany of North
America, $5,0C0 in the Georgia Homo,
and $3,000 m the Beyal, with Captain
Carnes.
Oa the bnilding there was $12,500 in
surance; $5,000 ia the Fire Association
of Philadelphia, with C. B. Willingham;
$2,600 in the Westchester; $3;Q00 in the
Scottish Commercial; $2,000 in the Vir
ginia Fira and Marine, with the Conner
Brothers. These are a total less.
Mr. L. Merkel was insured with Cap
tain Carnes for $3,800 in the Virginia
Home. His loss will be comparatively
light.
Mr. F. A. Scboneman also insured with
Captain Carnes, is damaged but slightly.
Colonel John P. Fort saved nothing
whatever from his law offioe. He was
insured for $1,300 with Captain Carnes.
His loss is estimated at $1,000 His of
fice safe is still among the rains.
Dr. Holt lost a few instruments
amounting lo about $125.
Mr. B. W. Patterson’s law books, pa
pers and farnitnre were entirely destroy
ed, with no insurano?; loss $600.
Messrs. Baoon & Batherford saved tbe
most valuable of their papers aud soma of
the books in their front offioe, losing ev
erything in the other one. Loss $1,000.
The other losses are slight, and need
not be enumerated.
To 8am np, the loss will fall but little
short of $100,000, aai tbe Insurance will,
it is thought, cover to within $20,000 of
it.
One favorable eign of tbe prosperity of
our city and tbe solid basis on which its
business interests stand, besides illustra
ting the enterprise of our merchants, is
that yesterday all three of the burned ont
firms resumed business.
Messrs. Hunt, Bankin & Linar have
taken the stand of Mr. David Howes, on
Second street, Mr. Howes moving to the
stand of Mr. £. A. Shiver, corner of Seo-
ond and Poplar streets.
Messrs. C. H. Itegera & Co. zeapened
ai Britt’s stand on Third street, and Mr.
Henry Schall on Mulberry street adjoin
ing Dinkler’s Confectionery. The pro
fessional gentlemen procured offices, Ba
con & Batherford and D.*. Holt, over £.
P. Strong’s, and Messrs. Fort and Patter-
sou over the new stand of Hunt, Bankin
& Lamar.
We mn3t criticise the delay between
the alarm and the ringing of the bells.
The watchman pleads that there have
been so many false alarms recently that
he thought this was one also. Had it
been sounded promptly the fire most
certainly would not have occurred.

baby carriage, is a sure sign that tire little

A Fmar Judge.—We learn from the
Atlanta papers that after General Gar-
trell, the conneel for the oanvioted mur
derer, 8. Hill, had made his argument
upon all the exceptions on which were
based the grounds for anew trial, Judge
Hillyer arrested the proceedings by stat
ing that it was anneoesBsry for the coun
sel for the State to argue the ease over
again, as no new evidence had been
brought ont which would justify the
Court in granting a new trial.
In tbe afternoon the prisoner was sen
tenced te confinement for life at hard
labor in the penitentiary. The sentence
wao suspended for thirty days pending
an appeal by counsel to the SSpreme
Conit. Judge Hillyer deserves the thanks
of the oountry for upholding what be be
lieves to bs the lew in this remarkable
case, despite tbe great pres3ato brongtt
to bear against him.

CITY FINANCES.
The New Bill—A Counter Sovement.
Tbe bill which has been introduced in
to the Legislature, providing for the re
funding of Ihe city bonds has been read
and considered by th9 thoughtful men of
the city.
Tbe provisions of the bill have been
carefully considered, and we hear many
favorable comments on the course of ac
tion outlined in its sections. It
provides for a taxation of one
and a quarter per cent.
Of this tax three- quarters per cent, of
the one and a quarter prescribed by the
bill is to be devoted to the payment of
past due bends and coupons. The other
half per cent, ia to bi applied to tbe re
daction of the the license tax and to the
liquidation of other unprovided for debts.
By this meins it is confidently asserted
by the Bnpportore of tbe bill that tire li
cense tax, whioh seems eg odious to many
of our business men, will ba reduced
to $15,000, and possibly by good
financiering to $12,000. By the bill, the
refunding bands, which will all ran
thirty years, will brer six per cent, inter
est, that amount of interest bsing deem
ed necessary in the best judgment of the
committee to float ths bonds of a nranic-
Ipality. By the revenue derived as above
stated, a, surplus will be yearly obtained,
and will be devoted to a sinking fond-
Under the new Constitution, the corpo
ration can incur no new debt, so that the
fixing of the rate of taxation at one and
a quarter per cent, an ample revenue
will be established.
The bill wi3 drawn np and is present
ed to our Bepresentatives in the Legisla
ture, by a oommittse composed of five of
the most practical and skillful business
men, selected by ths Citizens’ Commit,
tee and afterward ratified by the City
Conncii. These are the principal points
of the bill, which is now before the body
in Atlanta,
Yesterday aif opposition to it, which
is supposed to have been organizing Borne
time, took definite form in a memorial to
the Legislature against the pas
sage of the bill. The memo-
riel is drawn by several citi-
izen?, ‘ headed by Mr. Henry L.
Jewett, the author of the Jewett bill.
The main features of the memorial is that
taxation should bs restricted to one per
oent., and proposes that instead of six
per cent, only five per cent, bonds shall
ba issued for refunding purposes. The
view is advanced that many of tho bonds
are hell by persons who pzooured them
at a heavy discount, and consequently
would be willing to take the five par oents
proposed.
Another point of opposition urged to
the bill is that by an amendment, whioh
wa understand wa3 suggested by the com
mittee drawing it np, and advocated by
(he Bsprescntative3 in Atlanta, is that the
vaoincies in the commission into whose
hinds the tax for the payment of bonded
indebtedness will by plaoed shall be
supplied by tho Mayor and Conncii.
This, however, is regarded as a email
point for either side.
The memorial also says sufficient time
should be allowed for tbe perfection of
another bill to take the piaco of tho
present one.
The memorial was circulated yester-
diy aud several signatures appended.
Mr. Jewett read it to a crowd at Board-
man’s corner.
Tho friends of the bill are at work, and
the advocates ot the opposing memorial
are also moving around quite rapidly.
One thing is certain—something most
be done for tho finances of the city, and
done speedily. The present revenne is,
from the taxation of property, $60,000;
from the license tax, $30,000 nearly—to
tal, $99,000.
The liabilities for this year are, for in-
interest on the bonded indebtedness $45,-
000; po3tdue bonds $24,600; bonds falling
duo this year $35,000; expenses of the cily
government $35,000; making a total cf
$139,600. Five thousand of this is paid
by an annuity.- This does not include
the flailing debt nor city money for
whioh the oity is liable.
The friends cf the bill, and it is before
the people, claim that all these financial
diffiaulties will be made straight by it,
and the advocates of the memorial think
that taxation can be kept where it is.
This is a most vital question to the city
and citizane, and wo trust that all will
read carefully before committing them
selves. The prosperity of the city is at
stake, and with snch a stake the decision
of everyone shonld bs carefnliy reached.

Tbe Late Fire-.
Yesterday ths smouldering embers
of the late fire were still Bmoking. The
heavy rain falling on the mass of heated
brick rose in clouds of steam, which drif
ted upward and were soon lost to 6ight in
the air. The rein so far cooled the cafe
of Colonel John F. Fort as to sllcw of its
removal and it was hauled from among
the bricks and taken to his new office on
Second street.
The safe of Meisra. Hunt, Bankin &
Lamar was moved from the store before
the fire reached it. It was a largo Ball
safe and nnder the excitement of the mo
ment Reven men took it out of the burn
ing building, doing the work that it re
quired fifteen men to perform under or
dinary circumstances. It was injured
slightly in the doors.
Meesrs. C. H. Bogers & Co., succeeded
also in Baving their safe, uninjured, by
throwing it in tho alley by tho
eide of tbe store. It was after
ward buried under tbe falling wall.
Large quantities of goods were eaved
from stealage after being rescued from
the flames, by the military. Captain
T. L. Boss had a detachment of the Ca
dets out, and they did excellent service.
He stationed men at either end of the
burning block, and at the alleys, with
oidits to allow no package of goods to
pass. A squad of the Volunteers were
also on the grounds, under arms, an]
also prevented much stealage. Notwith-
slanding these precautions, a large num
ber of articles were carried off and seven 1
arrests made by the police.
