Kinv YEAR'S DAY. „, rolPbmtlon In Macon -Elegant Re wptloiw nn'.I a Brilliant Occasion. Never to the histoiy of tlie custom lias v * year's calling been more thoroughly :„ioycd il.au in Macon on the first day of .: J Tiie day was one of the most tliisvcar. _ , . . lieautifi.l ofwin#>rs-,*cms, balmy in its temperature and l^aAftRil -riW. golden „lHit, which seemed to give a bright welcome to the budding year. The call ers of twenty years and even longer experi ence agree in saying it was the most beau- tifnl New Year's day they had ever seen. iVe venture nothing when we assert that no handsomer receptions were held in tlie State than those in Macon. Indeed all who participated recognized a return of that true and cordial hospitality which has alwavs been one of the distinguishing characteristics of Southern society. Tlie number of places open were hardly as numerous as last year, hut the attrac tions at eacli were, in nearly every in stances greater. There were, however, quite as many gentlemen making calls on their friends, and this made matters very livelv for all. Calling did not become general until about six o’clock, and from that hour until alter midnight the pleas ures of the occasion were enjoyed. The scenes presented within the resi dences whore the hospitalities were ex tended were charming and beautiful. The toilets, the decorations, the refreshments, in fact all the combined attractions of the day, have never bcou surpassed, and all tlie chivalry which erstwhile marked the men of the Southern land was illustrated anew,amid the dazzlingjscenes in brilliant gpeeclies to tliier fair entertainers. At tlie residence of Mrs. Flanders, across tl.e river, a most hospitable re ception was held by Mrs. D. M. Flan ders, Mrs. IV. It. Phillips, Mrs. D. Flan dors, Mis. O. F. Adams, Mrs. W. F. Ad ams, Mrs. II. C. Sailors, Mrs. II. M, Brown and Miss Dovie rowell. The pleasure experienced from a visit here was a theme of general conversation among the callers, and all carried away pleasant memories of the place and their entertainers. At the National Hotel a very enjoyable reception was held and a genial hospital ity was dispensed by a charming coterie of ladies. The parlors were decorated with evergreen,and among them were seen l.-autifiil lilies, with their golden hearts, relieving the darker shades and gave addi tional charms to the scene. Elegant re freshments loaded the festive hoard, while an embossed New Year's welcome appeared on one of the largest snowy- cakes. Tlie ladies engaged in the reception were Mrs. R. II. Flanders, Mrs. IV. A. Camp, Mrs. Hugh L. Porter, Miss Sal lie Jordan, Miss Georgia Moore and Miss Georgia Brown. One of the most brilliant and truly en joyable receptions of the day was that at .he residence of Rev. Hr. Key on Mulberry street. In front of the entrance appeared the legend, in letters of graceful green “A happy New Year to ye, And inony may ye see.” Each caller was decorated with a tiny- white satin flag-favor with the same lines stamped upon it in letters of gold. Most gracefully and charmingly were me bon ors of the occasion done by Miss Lucie Key, Miss Tom Ford, Miss Leila Burke and Miss Gertrude bidder. Truly elegant ami fascinating in its at tractions, was !hi! reception holden at the hospitable residence of Mr. Thomas Wood, It has seldom been equalled in the paint kst days of the city's past. The hand- s itiic parlors blazed with beauty, while toilets of exquisite fashion dazzled and charmed. Decorations tilled out the pic ture into perfectness. Delicacies and sub- rtantiais were served in unexampled pro fusion and style. Over the heavily freighted table was suspended a floral horse shoo, conveying its sentiments of for tune to all. Mrs. Wood and Miss Minnie and Leila Wood were assisted by Miss Mattie Runn, Miss Floriue Holt, Miss Georgia Tracy, Miss Carrie John ston and Miss Blossom Redding. The ab sence of Miss Fannie Grier was regretted by many friends. —- A most elegant and stately reception was given at Mr. S. T. Coleman's man sion, presided over lry Mrs. Coleman, as sisted by Miss Florida Coleman,, Mrs. T. 0. Chest ney, Mrs. John Ingalls and Miss Murphcy, of North Carolina. Over the doorway in brilliant beauty appeared the illuuiuated legend “Happy New Year,” ami within the the hall-way,another trans parency of great lieauty displayed in pris matic colors the simple word “Welcome.” The other decorations were full of taste and beauty, and tlie refreshments truly el egant. With queenly grace anil courtliness in Mr. Ogden's handsome residence, Mrs. Ogden, assisted by Miss Ogden, Miss Mary Lon Lamar, Miss Gilmer, and Mrs. Dr. Fitzgerald, did the honors of the oc casion. All were made to feel perfectly at ease, and tlie hospitalities of the occa sion were dispensed in superb style. One of the most graceful receptions of the day was holden at the residence of Mis. G. T. Rogers. The beautiful deco rations, funned of light, and airy ma terial arranged with exquisite taste, were nnivcrsally admired, and the graceful manner in which each caller was received added no little to the enjoyment of those *1»-j made the social rounds. Among the decorations was an exquisite silver horse ■’ ii,v suggesting hopes of liappy years to fol low the present joys. Mrs. W. R. Rogers *as assisted by Miss Julia Rogers, Mrs. 1: - M. lingers and Miss Bessie Rogers. At no place was a reception marked with mure sparkle and merriment than that at Mrs. Little, on College street, where most handsomely the courie r's were dispensed by Miss Mamie Little, Miss Jeanne Villepiguc and Miss Fannie Hunter. Beautifully arranged dreoratioBs heightened the effect, while a .'ainptuous spread of delicacies completed U* picture. No wltere was the evening more highly l^ajoyed than at the residence of Mr. W. A Julian, comer Plum street and Cotton avenue. The rooms were beautifully J --corated with appropriate mottoes, ever- and flowers; the tables, unsurpass- p Ly any In the city, wens supplied with tTery luxury and delicacy, wliile over all pe grace ami beauty of tlie fair hostesses * We displayed, making an occasion hea:t- F enjoyed and long to be remembered by I™* ®early one hundred callers in attend- ***• The following ladies made up the • Mrs. W. A. Julian, Miss Susie Ju- Miss Lizzie Johnson, Mrs. M. B. I ~ arton ant * Miss Hattie Wharton. |j ** ie ^ccption at Colonel Thomas | -A-J-.-nian’s in Vineville was certainly : most brilliant and grand ever , lit® beautiful suburbs of Vineville. h- was gat hi red one of the most charm ing groups of ladies, each vicing with the others in doing the hospitable courte sies oi t e occasion* As is always the case here, the decora ions were truly ele gant, while such a handsome and bounti ful array of delicacies has seldom been seen. Those who called are to he con gratulated, while those who failed to do so can with difficulty imagine they missed by their absence. Never did enjoyment reign in more undisputed' soverignitv, Mrs. Hardeman, Mrs. N. M. Hodgkins, Mrs. Dr. Holt, Mrs. J. S. Schofield, Mrs. R. S. Lanier, Miss Ida Holt, Miss S, Lumsdcn, Miss Jessie Hardeman and Miss Lizzie Anderson made up a party of la dies, winch for brilliancy and cordialty, was not surpassed. Among the scenes of the day, none more deeply engraved itself on the mem ory than the reception at the residence of Mr. Walter B. Hill. Here hospitality,un bounded was dispensed with an easy, quiet grace by Mrs. Hill, Miss Lillie Bar ker, and Miss Hattie Menard. At the residence of Captain S. S. Dun lap, was held a reception which mauy pro-, noimeed the most elegant of the day. During the evening the spacious parlors were crowded. In one parlor, at the en trance of a boudoir made of gracefully hung laces, was a silver horse shoe, and in the other, almost hidden from view by over reaching folds of green, was a golden four leaved clover, each betokening the kindly wishes of those who so elegantly did the . honors of the occasion. As the hours winged their silent flight the seene seemed to grow in bril liancy, and the closing movements enlivened by the sparkle of champagne were probably the brightest. Long each guest lingered, reluctant to leave a scene so freighted with happy thoughts and now so fragrant with pleasant memories. The toilets of the ladies were exquisite and of surpassing loveliness. The honors of the occasion were fittingly done by Miss Dun lap, Miss Florine Dunlap, Miss Sadie Wadley, Miss Lizzie Plant, Miss Cora Nutting and Miss Clara Nutting. Would space allow we would like to speak of each toilet. Elegant bine silks, handsome black velvets, white satins and buntings, delicate lace, exquisite silks and other fine fabrics were to be seen, and the beauty of the toilets were only surpassed by that of the wearers. Cards were left at a number of other places than those mentioned above where no regular recep tion was held. Tlie gentlemen never appeared to better advantage. They were, for the most part, in full dress, some wear ing, in addition, orange blossoms, and some spotless camclias on their lappets. The entire occasion was complete, and crystalized In many memories which will never lose their lustre. A Grand Reception. Ainrng the receptions of New Year's day none surpassed that of Messrs. Nuss- bauin & Dannenberg, at their new and elegant store on the corner of Third and Cherry street. The handsome structure has been in the course of erection for sev eral months and is now about complete, The proprietors determined upon a recep tion to their friends by way of openin: their new establishment. At about eight o'clock there w as assembled a very large crowd composed mainly of business men and a banquet of lavish profusion was pread. < • All classes of business men attended the banquet. Speeches were made by Mayor Hull, Colonel H. II. Jones, R. B, Hall, Jacob Siesel, Judge T. G. Holt and others, all complimentary to the energy and enterprise of the merchant princes, Messrs. Nussbanm & Dannenberg. The banquet was superb. The loaded tables were prepared by Messrs. Bins- wanger & Co., who spared no expense iu their work. Champagne, and oceans of it punch, cigars and music were abundant, and the presence of many ladies gave an additional attraction to the occasion. It was a proud event in Slacon’s mer cantile career, and we hope that it may mark the beginning of a greater prosperi ty for the enterprising proprietors of tbs establishment, than they have ever en joyed before. - Macon Volunteers’ Election. The annual election of the Volunteers was held last night at their armory and resulted as follows: Captain—W. IV. Carnes. First Lieutenant—G. C. Conner. Second Lieutenant—J. E. Wells, Jr. Junior Second Lieutenant—W. B. Sparks. First Sergeant—A. E. Boardman. Second Sergeant—J. P. Flanders. Third Seigeant—Ed. A. Isaacs. Fourth Sergeant—Charles E. Arm strong. Fifth Sergeant—Jim S. Iverson. Secretary and Treasurer—O'. T. King. Surgeon—-A. P. Collins. Chaplain—Rev. Otis A. Glazebrook. This was the first election held by the company under the new law of the State pertaining to the military. The com missioned- officers elected last night hold their commissions as officers of the State militia for life. The Volunteers have received a boom lately and much interest is being mani fested in the organization. Over fifty members were present last night and the coming fair was freely discussed. It is thought that it will be the largest of its kind ever held in Georgia. Tlie company has iu view a trip to Nor folk next summer and is determined to go a new uniform. It is for the purpose of raising this uniform that the fair has been organized. The ladies of the city have rallied to the staunch old company’s assistance, and that fart establishes the success of tlie fair beyond all question. Professor Bcndc. Quite a large audience listened to Pro fessor Reade’s farewell entertainment at Masonic nail Thursday evening, and all enjoyed the renditions of a well selected and arranged programme. Prolessor Readc takes the highest rank among ‘the elocutionists of the day. His versatility of talent is remarkable, and, whether he es says the humorous, the pathetic, the trivial or the grand, he is equally success- He is besides a gentleman of true culture and fine traits of character. ■ 1\ c are pleased to know that the esteem in. which he is held is being-manifested by increased audiences wherever ho appears. Among his most thrilling and inspiring recitations is Macaulay’s Horatius at tlie Bridge. The full power of the poem is brought out by Professor Reade. It is one of the greatest recitations we have ever heard. City Clerk. The race for City Clerk will he. very lively. Ten candidates are now in the field. The election takes place on the 10th instant. Some heavy electioneering will be done before that time. THBBROWX-BOm. It Changes Hands. Yesterday Judge E. E. Brown sold the Brown House to Mr. P. C. Lonnsbury, New York, Vice President of the Ameri can Bank Note Company, for fifty thous and dollars. We understand that the forms of the sale are cash. The furniture of the hotel was sold for $8,761, Judge Brown re served the lot of land now vacant, fronting fifty feet on Fourth street and extendin back two hundred and ten feet. In making this , sale we regret to an nounce that Judge Brown now .retires permanently from the hotel business Macon, with which lie lias been identi tied for many years. We hope he will remain in Macon. Changes In the State Tax Laws. Tlie last General Assembly passed ■ an act which made all tax collectors of the various counties of. the . State cx officio sherifis in so far as to enable them to col lect the taxes due the State and county by levy and sale under the executions; and said tax collectors are not allowed to turn over any tax executions to the sher- ifls, or any other levying officers; but by virtue of their office have power to levy all tax executions heretofore or hereafter to he issued by them in their respective counties, and all sales made by'them will be valid, and cany title to property as completely as if made by the sherifis of said counties. Levies, however, upon re alty are to he returned to the sheriff of the connty, and sales be made by him as now provided by law. Another law of impor tance passed is the one which gives the County Commissioners of Bibb authority in the absence of other buyers, to purchase all property offered at tax sales and be put in possession of the same by the sheriffs. These laws were passed to enable the State and tlie counties to get in their taxes more promptly, and to avoid a great many loSses which have heretofore occurred from tlie indulgences granted to taxpay ers and the delays otherwise made by collecting officers. As next Tuesday is advertising day, we advise all who have not yet settled their taxes to do so at once. Mortuary. The following is the report of the city sexton for the week ending January 3, 18S0: White adults, three; children, none colored adults, none; children, one; total, four. ___ Heltl for Postage. Letters for E. C. Pearce, city; Sirs, Belle Smallwood, Harpers Ferry, West Virginia; Mr. Hardy, city; Miss Addie Davenport, Americus, Ga; S. Waxelbaum & Bro., city; Sirs. D. Friend, city, and S, T. Coleman & Co., city, are held for post age in the Slacon office. Special Train. A special train passed through the city yesterday morning, containing Governor J. E. Brown and several others from At lanta on their way to meet General Grant in Savannah. The train only stopped a few minutes in the city, and then passed on down the Central road. Passing Through. o.uiiug, a very large numbor oi colored laborers passed through the city going down on the Macon and Brunswick road to the turpentine plantations a!on that line. They were originally from North Carolina and are returning from a Christmas visit to their old homes iu the old North State. A Mine of Wealth. There is a mine of wealth for the peo ple in Warner’s Safe. P.lls; for health is wealth, and nothing so contributes to the health of a large class of people as these nils. As a laxative and regulator of the >owels and a. cure for bilious troubles and malaria tliey’surpass all other remedies. dec23-2w Stockholders. Yesterday many of tlie stockholders of the Central Bailroad took advantage of the free ride to Savannah to the election for President and directors of the road, which takes place next Monday. A very large party, including some of the first citizens of Griffin hoarded the train at that place ami passed through last even ing. The Central train last evening was crowded, although several extra coaches were put on for the accommodation of the extra amount ot travel. Stockholders will he passed over the road until the fifth instant and returning from the fifth to the eighth instant inclusive. In active pursuit of pleasure or gain, the inestimable blessing of health is too often forgotten until disease is firmly seat ed, and the fact only realized by great bodily and mental suffering. The Liver is the vulnerable point in most persons and the disarrangement of the organ in volves almost the whole system; hence the reason why under the Liver disease is enumerated such a number of affiictions, and we claim the Simmons’ Liver Regula tor to be a remedy for them all. Hot Air Balloons. On New Year’s night a beautiful little hot air balloon was sent up from in front of the store of J. B. Williams on Fourth street. The little air ship was made of tis sue paper oft several colors. Bouyancy was imparted by filling the balloon with hot air and kept up from a wire basket filled with waste saturated with oil. Tlie balloon rose about two hundred feet and was in sight about forty minutes when it disappeared. Last evening the perform ance was repeated and after drifting over the city s6me distance the material in the fire basket gave out and the little wan derer was lest to .view. Bitter 'rimes Tlie business revival and new era irosperity which has commenced are in jeep Lug with the increased health and happiness all over the land, resulting from the introduction of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. “The changes wrought by this remedy)” says Rev. Dr. Harvey, “sccni3 hut little less than mirac ulous.” dec23-2w Moving In. Yesterday Messrs. Nussbanm & Dan- nenburg were busily engaged in moving into their elegant new quarters. As each article is removed it is placed .in position, so that Jlieir business is in no way inter? feted with, but orders are being filled as usual. Many called on them yesterday, and their magnificent store fortned the subject of general and highly complimen tary remarks. The location has beei) one of the most prominent every since tlie city was laid out and isV,historic in the an nals of the mercantile past qf.the- city.! The present structure replaces one which had stood for about thirty years, and which was known all through this portion of the State. We wish the firm much prosperity in M"’ quarters. Committee Meeting. The. ladies of the committee , on super vision of tables for the Macon Volunteor’6 BY TELEGBAPH • ’Augusta, Me., January 1.—The fol lowing are the questions propounded -by the Governor to the Supreme Court and sent to the Chief Justice late last night First. When the Governor and council decide that there is no return from a. city in which representatives can be sum moned to : attend and take their seats in a legislature, is it their duty to order a new election, or is it competent for the House of Representatives, if it shall appear that there was an election of such representa tives, to admit them -to seats, though no return thereof was made and delivered in to the oflice of the Secretary of State ? Second. Is it competent for the Gov ernor and Council to allow the substitu tion of other evidence in place of returned copies of each list as are provided for in article four, part one, section five, of the Constitution, to enable them to determine What persons appear to be elected repre sentatives to the Legislature by a plurality of votes returned? Third. Are returns signed by a ma jority of the selectmen of the town, or Al dermen of a city valid within the require ments of the same section? Fourth- Isa return by the Aldermen of a city, which does not give the number of votes cast for each person, voted for as a member of the Legislature, and does not show what persons were voted for, as such members iu any one of several wards. of such city, valid returns within the require? ments of the same section? Fifth. Are returns from towns or cities, which are not attested by the town or city clerk, valid within the same section ? Sixth. Have the Governor and Council a right to reject returns «f election of members of the Legislature required by the same election from officers of the town which were not made, signed or sealed up in open town meeting ? Seventh. Is a return of two persons purporting to he Selectmen of a town valid and sufficient evidence of the vote of the town, when it appears there were at the time of the meeting, at which the election was held, hut two Selectmen of that town? Eighth. Can a person who is not a citi zen of the United States at the time, he legally elected, or constiutionally a Se lectman of a town ? Ninth. If a ballot has a distinguishing mark in tlie judgment of the Governor and Council, such as would make it ille gal under the statute, have they authority to disregard it in tiieir ascertainment of what persons appear to he elected, where it appeal's by the official returns of the otlicers of the town that such vote was received by the select men subject to objections, and its legality referred to the Governor and Council? Tenth. If the names of persons appear In the return without any number of votes being stated or carried out against them, either in words or figures, is it the duty of the Governor and Council to treat those persons as having the same number of votes as another person received for the same office, and whose name is placed first in the return, if they find dots under figures or words set against such other per sons named? Eleventh. Have the Governor and Council the legal right to decide what kind of evidence they will receive and what mode of proceeding before them shall be, to enable them to determine tlie genuineness of returns required by tlie article and section of the constitution above mentioned. Twelfth. If the Governor and Council have before them two lists of votes rctnm- ed from the same town differing maseri- ally from each other in the number of votes returned as east for the same persons but identical in all other respects, both having been duly received at the Secre tary'sofliee, and they have no evidence to enable them to determine which is the true and genuine return are they required to treat either of them as valid -—*• so Bangor, SrE., January 1.—Chief Jus tice Appleton has summoned all the asso ciate Justices of the Supreme Court to as semble in this city to-morrow, to consider the questions propounded by Gov. Garce- ton, which were received by this morn ing’s mail. Boston*, SIass., January 1.—A special from Augusta to the Ilcrahl says it ap pears that not a single member of the Ex ecutive Council agreed with the Governor iu his deiemiination to ask the opinion of the Supreme Court on the questions grow ing out of the recent election. Sir. Pills- bury, too, was strongly opposed to the plan, but the Governor, backed by Mr Gould, decided to submit the questions as a concession to public sentiment, ’ It is safe to say, however, that tlie Gov ernor agrees with Council that the action of the Court will have no effect on the re sult. The count is completed and certifi cates issued. The questions are so framed that it is expected an answer favora ble to the Fusionists will be given, and if by any chance there should be a contrary result, nothing can he done about it. • Probably Sir. Slorrill will concur in this opinion. One of the Fusion Senators eloct, Isaac T. nobson, a Lincoln connty Greenbacker of Republican antecedents, has grieved his Fusion friends here by delaring that the sole business of the legislature, after organizing, ought to be the adjournment of the question of the disputed seats, and that nothing else should he done until that is finished. Hobson is one of the counted in himself. The fusion managers insist that the elec tion of Governor and State officers’must come first and tlie election cases be de ferred,as usual, since, to settle these con tested seats and complete the frand and bribery investigation contemplated, would be to leave' everything at loose ends and the State without a Governor for weeks if not months, Portland, «Me., January 1.—A ripple of interest was caused to-day by the re ceipt ofa telegraphic order from the Adju tant General addressed to the command ing officer of one of the militia companies here, directing him to report .to Augusta with his company on Saturday next.

Governor Rob inson cordially welcomed Governor Cor nell to the high office to which he liad been clioseu and concluded by hoping that his administration might be such as to in crease his own honor and confer enduring benefits upon the people of the whole State. Governor Cornell made an appro priate response. Denver, January 1.—Reviews of busi ness and mining operations, etc., pub lished here to-day, show that 1879 has been the most prosperous year in Colora do’s history. Fanners have had an unu sually prosperous season, and the whole State has been benefited thereby. The income of the State from its cattle ship ment exceeded two and a half million. Seven million pouuds of wool wore pro duced, together with two and a half mil lion bushels of wheat, and other kinds of grain in proportion. The total product of the mines in the State was $19,110,000, against $0,820,000 in 1878. Lake county alone shows an increase of nearly $9,000,000 in metal products over last year.

There are only two month’s supply of food to sustain them for the next seven months. A dispatch from Cabul to the Daily Hetcs, dated December 22nd, reports that to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock,.for bus- . the return to India of the British force at iness of importance.

'On the 80th of December General Bright made a descent upon some of the villages whose inhabitants had been proin- iiKnrtin harassing the British outposts and took them by suiprise. The weather is fine hut very cold. St..Petersburg, January 1.—The Go bs announces that it is proposed to enact special punishments for persons convicted ot propagating Nihilist doctrines among tit troops. At a review of some of the regiments ofthe Guard yesterday the Emperor made a speech to the troops, expressing his con viction that they would serve the Czar evitch as faithfully as they had served him. Tlie Emperor then saluted the Cfcarewitcli. At a dinner given on the anniversary of the crossing of the Balkans the Emperor entered the hall leading the Czarevina knd accompanied by the Czarewitch.

The clothing louse, Western Union Office and three ether buildings, have been burned down and the fire is how beyond the control of such apparatus a3 the town affords. Washington, January 1.—This after noon as John H. Morgan, son of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, was walking along G street with a friend, they were met by Lucy W. R. Horton, who suddenly drew, a revolver and shot Morgan through the shoulder. Before she could fire a second, time Slorgan tinned aud seized the pistol The wound is not dangerous, although he probably owes his escape from death to tire inaccuracy of SCiss Horton’s aim. The shooting is attributed on the. part ofSIoigau’s friends to the insauity of his assailant. Sliss Horton began a suit against Slorgan last July for breach of ntmiisc of marriage. Since then she has ost her position in the Treasury Depart ment, ami lias been generally unfortun ate, and she claims that she has been per secuted.

The same dispatch says it is reported on good authority that tlie Democrats have arranged for contesting the seats of a number of Republicans and to settle elec tion cases before doing anything else. They would turn out another Republican for every one of those counted out whom they saw fit to admit, and thus preserve their majority. The first number of E. F. Pillsbury’s new Democratic paper, the Standard, ap peared yesterday. It has the following concerning the Legislature: “The coming session of* the Legislature will be one of the most important, interesting anil excit ing ever held in the State. For the first time in twenty-four years the opponents of the Republican party will be in a ma jority in both branches and in control of the State Government.” Charleston, January 2.—At Beaufort yesterday, Commodore l’atterson and the officers of the fleet stationed here, paid their respects in full uniform.
