J / \ | T' (EejUgcftpl* fitter Jjsutm&l TIIE JUVENHXMAWIEEBADE. A BellgMfnl A«*Ir. Tlie masquerade of the children of the congregation of Beth Israel took place last evening at the hall of the Hebrew Young Men’s Literary Association, and was a complete success. The scene in the early hours of the evening, when the liUle ones, some just able to speak plainly, looking lovely in laces,silks and all sorts of fancy costumes, each with mask on, was novel, brilliant and beautiful, and later when all un masked the joyous surprise manifested as each recognized some little friend in the group of light-hearted maskers, was truly refreshing to behold. The ball opened with a tableau, in which the children were arranged on the stage of the hall in a beautiful pyramid. The grand march followed, and was in turn succeeded by the dancing. Refreslunents were served early in the evening and later to each one in costume a neatly arranged bundle of candy and fruit was given as they marched by in procession. The distribution was made by Misses Lola Landsberg and Ida Ein stein. The ball was very admirably gotten up and managed by Mrs. William WolfTe and Mrs. J. Dannenberg, and to them is due the praise for the success of the occasion. Kessler’s orchestra furnished the music, and in their varied and handsome cos tumes the little folks threaded the mazes of the dance. Quite a number of their parents joined in toward the close of the evening. The attendance was very fine, Tire following children were in fancy costumes: Leo Kahn—King of the Night.

At a very reasonale hour—not before, however, some of the eyelashes of the little folks began to droop. The party broke up. Howard District and its Roods. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In the issue of the Tiii.KGBA.pjl and Mes- .UiNOF.it of the 2-4th instant, under bead of road commissioners, I find the following remarks: •Tnder tlie management of the last board of commissioners tlie roads of the Comity have been kept up to a high stan dard of excellence. In fact the county is noted in Middle Georgia as having the In-St public highways of any county in this section.” I believe all public servants should have their due mead of praise and encour aged in well-doing. But at the same time justice should he done, “though the heavens fall.” The above remarks may be true in reference to the roads in other sections of the county, but I must beg leave to respectfully differ with you where reference is made to the public highways in Howard district. I can truthfully say and will be sustained by a majority of the citizens in this district, and those who have been compelled to travel over the roads, that they have been in worse con dition and most execrably worked or ne glected under tlie present management and direction than any administration since the system of chain gang work has bee-11 inaugurated. The road on tlie river route has not been creditably work ed in two years commencing near Major Carson’s resilience and from there up to Mr. William Johnson’s and thence to the county line. From Beaver Dam creek a stream of “Fair notoriety,” which is near our fellow citizen, Robert Coleman’s plan tation, the public highway has been in many places iu a deplorable condition, and in one place between William John son’s and I)r. Holt’s residence the road has been in a well nigh impassable con dition since last summer. There were several vehicles overturned and three to my knowledge that were bro ken by falling in tlie deep sinks of the s mil. And the fence rails which have been thrown in to crossway this had place, and others, amoimts to considerable, which the height of fences on each side of the road will testify. This place became so bad and such a heavy tax to the subscriber, that he hired six able-bod ied men and a young man to superintend, and had tlie road worked and ditched on botli sides, putting it jn first-class condi tion—better than any portion of road of like character in the District, and had it been worked projicrly by the mhnagers of Jhe chain gang wlien here, it would-have been in condition throughout the whole f a |j a) f,i w iuter season, and saved much' annoyance and expense. The Commissioners of this District are very clever, good citizens, hut they give the public highways but precious little of their attention: in fact, tlie Commissioners are Worthless in the places for which they Were apjiointed. They are relieved from 4 ,,r >' duty, etc., but they return no equiva lent for tills favor; and it is to be hoped that they will give at least a small portion of their time to having the public roads kept in a passable condition, or resign tbeir places and let others be appointed who will. This portion of the public road has been run over rapidly, and only pntcli- e, l up in places, and even that has been slovenly done. Citizen op Howabd Distbict. THE VOU'STEEBS’ FAIR —Tlie number of suicides at Vienna and its suburbs, last year, attained tlie con siderable figure of 207, of which 46 were of women. In most cases reverse of fortune, hiisety, or want of. work wa the dispos- Tbe Success of the Fielr Increasing:. Another very fine crowd assembled last evening, at the armory of the Volunteers, to assist by their presence and contribu tions in making the fair a complete suc cess. The interest in the fair is general throughout the city, and persons of all creeds, denominations, politics, etc., have visited the hall and contributed liberally. The scene last evening was even more brilliant than usual. The attendance of ladies was larger, and those engaged at the different tables were moving about the hall, more earnest and energetic in their efforts to accomplish the work in hand than ever. The hall looked like a living panorama to a spectator. The tables all did well. At the table near the lower end of the hall nearly everything of value was sold. The tin set was rallied, and won by Mr. R. S. Saulsbury. A number of smaller articles were also disposed of by raffle. At the Fruit and Flower table, which proved one of the most attractive in the hail, a beautiful basket of flowers was won by Miss Mary Lou Bacon. Here the chances on the aquarium have nearly all been taken, and it will be raffled to-night. The elegant black silk dress at the Ci gar stand was won by Mr. Willis Price. This table did admirably last evening, and disposed of a large number of small bnt valuable articles. At the Old Volunteers table the hand some dinner set was won by Mr. Felix Corput. The throwing resulted at first in a tie between Mr. A. D. Schofield and Mr. Coiput, but upon tlie second throw ing tho latter was victorious. The pairof blankets at this same table were won by Mr. A. L. Butts. Mr. Foute, of New York, won a pair of embroidered slippers; the Volunteer and bride, by Mr. N. T. Johnson; an afglian by Miss Kate Greer, and a fruit cake by Mr. W. W. Wrigley. The furniture, the large easy chair, and the bride doll will be disposed of to-night. The Domestic Venture table attracted much attention. Mrs. Asher Ayers drew a barrel of flour, Mr. Chris. Findlay drew a ham and a number of other valuable arti cles were drawn. The restaurant was well patronized last evening. The drawing for the United States bond will positively take place to-morrow even ing. All tho tickets have been sold. To night will be perhaps the biggest of the fair. A very fine attendance is looked for, and many of the articles now on hand will be closed out at a sacrifice. Every thing on which chances have been taken will be raffled off this evening. As the fair draws to a close, tlie ladies are even more and more liberal in their contributions to the restaurant depart ment. The ladies have this morning to ac- knowledge the following: Mrs. Virgil Powers, cocoauut cake; Mrs. John R. Booker, crullers and bread; Mrs. J. C. Bannon, gelatine; Mrs. G. S. Obear, turkey and loaf cake; Mrs. H. Peters, pitcher ice cream custard; Mrs. Robert S. Lanier, tongue, jelly, cake, lady fingers and pickels; Misses G. and M. Hoge, pickels and jelly cake; Mrs. Thomas Wood, wine, jolly and light rolls; Mrs. W. F. BrowD, pickets, loaf cake and but ter crackers; Mrs. G. C. Conner, ice cream; Mrs. F. S. Johnson, jelly float; Mrs. G. S. Jones, sardines, crackers and chip beef; Mrs. William E. Flanders, biscuit; Mrs. E. E. Brown, silver cake and turkey; Mrs. Emmel, broiled chickens and light rolls; Mrs. J. M. Boardman, loaf light bread; Mrs. A. Butts, three quarts milk; Miss Hattie Tracy, small iced cakes. BY TELEGRAPH The Killing on the Central Railroad. The recent killing of Mr. C. Patterson on the Central railroad, near No. 17 J, still continues to excite a good deal of in terest in Gordon, and opinion seems to differ as to whether his death was caused by the cars or by foul play. Many incline to the latter opiniou. It will be remem bered that the verdict of the coroner’s jnry was that death was caused by tlie train which passed over the body. One of the witnesses who testified before the jury gave in as his evidence that but a short time before the train came down, he saw Patterson and two other men sitting on the track. One 6f them went away and the witness walked off toward his home. In a few minutes he heard two pistol shots in the direction of the men on the track, and in fifteen minutes after heard the whistle of the engine. The killing took place in sight of a store. Four freight trains and the up- passenger had passed the place. The engineer on the last train saw no one near the store hut a negro man as his train passed. If he was in such a con dition as to be liable to fall asleep at any,, moment, the men who were with him, if they intended to do right, should have taken care of him. The hole jn the face, conceded,to have been made by a bullet, the absence of the money he had with him, which has not been satisfactorily ex plained, the fact that the two men who came by just after the body was run over were the same wlio were with him the day before, all point to the conclusion that the unfortunate man was murdered and placed on the track. • The Bond Commission. At the office of Colonel John E. Jones a meeting of tlie commission was held, a full board and the members of the City Council authorized to attend being pres ent. The meeting passed off in not an al together harmonious manner. The matter of funding the Ross bonds, which were issued to pay tho floating debt of the city, and of which there are twenty- five thousand dollars, and which were hy pothecated by tlie authority of the last Council as security, was discussed. It seems the bonds have been but recently sold by the city for S2| cents onthe dol lar. , . Asbarp discussion arose between Mayor Huff and Mr. H.. L. Jewett, of the com mission, on the subject, which was partici pated in to a greater or less extent by sev eral others of the commission. The meeting adjourned to meet again on next Tuesday afternoon x at the same place. During the meeting twenty-five thousand dollars of the new bonds were laid before the meeting. The Florida Yam. Captain Bradwell, the clever editor of the liincsville Gazette, is writing an inter esting scries of letters to his paper from Indian river, Fla. We clip the following from his last missive : . A land that will not grow potatoes is pot worth 1 fighting for; and this country produces them • spontaneously.’ Like , they are cov- orida or West the vine, as at each ered up by the sod. India yam is the only potato planted; : and although it is not equal to. the sweet yam or the Spanish, with us, it will do well enough for a West India yam. There is no use to irottse or bank them, for they can remain all winter without injury, in the ground. They continue growing, and fresh potatoes can be had every month in tlie year. New Yobk, January 20.—A Columbia, South Carolina, special says: Great ex citement has been caused here by the pub lication of a very bitter letter by Colonel John C. Haskell, son-in-law of Senator Hampton, iu which serious charges are made against General Wm. W. Gary. This has grown out of the Gary-Hampton controversy, and will undoubtedly lead to serious results. General Gary, who is at his home in Edgefield, has been tele graphed for and will reach here to-mor row, when it is thought the affair will cul minate in bloodshed. Senator Hampton is here, but Haskell explicitly states the letter was written without hi3 knowledge. Galveston, January 29.—A special to the News from Sherman, says a party of drunken roughs, while creating a disturb ance in a bagnio, were ordered to leave by city marshall Ball. Alf Johnson re fused to go. Ball ejected him. When outside, Johnson drew a pistol and shot Ball in the breast. Ball siezed Johnson’s pistol and drawing his own weapon shot Johnson dead. Johnson’s brother aud others shot at Ball, one shot cutting his face and the powder burning his eyebrows and blinding liun. Ball lies in a critical condition.

No reason was assigned in the Secretary’s letter of dismissal, but it is.un- derstood'that while there is no evidence of dishonesty in the Commissioner’s ad ministration, there is proof that he has withheld from tlie Interior right informa tion which it was Ills duty to communi cate, and that this is, the grouud of his removal.

Talmage Compliments tbe Methodists In his last Sunday’s harangue at the Brooklyn Tabernacle Dr. Talmage, after narrating the terrible ordeal of persecution the Methodist denomination had under gone, asks: What permanent damage did intoler ance do the Methodist Church ? The vast majority of the pulpits of Great Britain were shut against her ministers, the very name of the church given in derision. In the New York Astor Library there are 700 books and pamphlets against Method ism. The intolerance has resulted in making that the largest denomination, the largest sect of Christians in tlie coun try. In all places of civil as well as re ligious trust SHE HAS HER SCAN. The present Mayor of our city, a Methodist, the past Mayor a Methodist, Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, a Method ist, the Secretary of the United States navy a Methodist, the President of the United States a Methodist, and some say the next President will be a Methodist. Intolerance never put down anything. In deed, men and institutions succeed gener ally in proportion as they are persecuted. Better attend to your business and preach the Gospel. Let Satan attend to persecu tion. Kelley’s Flan of Faying the national Debt Before the nouse Committee on Ways and Means, Judge Kelley, in opposition to the refunding plan of Fernando Wood and Secretary Sherman, submitted a plan of his own, which was to issue no new bonds, but to pay off every year the twen ty-seventh part of the issues of bonds ma turing in 1880,1881 and 1891, which in the aggregate amount, in round numbers, $1,000,000,000. The sum required for this purpose will be about $38,000,000 annu ally. That is to say, by paying $38,000,- 000 per year for twenty-seven years, the entire principal of $1,000,000,000, which is the amount of the outstanding bonded indebtedness, with tlie exception of the four per cents, maturing in 1007, will bo liquidated. Under this plan, the total amount to be disbursed for interest on the bonds in question will be $590,000,000. Judge Kelley submitted figures to show that this scheme was by far more advanta geous to the government than Secretary Sherman’s proposition to fund the matur ing I>onds in new four per cent, bonds, running fifty years, or Fernando Wood’s bill, which provides for refunding with 3| per cent, bonds, running fifty years. By adopting Secretary Sherman’s plan Judge Kelley claimed that at tho end of thirty years we would have paid $1,200,000,000 for interest^alone, and still be debtors for the entire principal, while under Mr. Wood’s plan we would have disbursed $1,800,000,- 000 for interest, and still owe the whole principal. Judge Kelley advocated his plan so earnestly and forcibly that it is under stood he has won over several members of the committee heretofore favorable to other propositions. They say that if the Judge is accurate in his calculation, and he doubtless is, by his plan we can payoff in twenty-seven yeans tlie principal of the maturing bonds referred to.at the rate of $38,000,000 yearly, and disburse only $596,000,000 for Interest during that peri od. It is most assuredly preferable to paying $1,200,000,000 in one instance, or $1,S00,000.000 in the other for interest alone without at all disturbing the princi pal. It is the opinion of several members of the committee that Wood’s three and a half per cent, bond scheme is dead, and that if Judge Kelley’s plan or something like it is not adopted, there will probably be no refunding measure passed this ses sion. A Big Bay. Macon fairly loomed up yesterday un der the effect of a magnificent day’s trade, and the numerous attractions of the eve ning. Her merchants were as busy as bees, turning out their wares by scores oi wagon loads to our country visitors. One gentleman, a member ot a popular gro cery firm, sold $1,200 worth of goods to a single interior merchant, cash down. Others did equally well, and business seemed fairly active. When night interposed her sable man tle o’er the scene, almost the whole popu lation turned out to enjoy themselves at the several entertainments which had been duly announced. These included the Macon Volunteers’ fair, the Hebrew chil dren’s masquerade ball and a rehearsal of Belshazzar. The two first we attended. The fair was a splendid success. Never have we seen so many of the elite of the city at any similar gathering. The spa cious hall was simply a moving panorama of human beings, and laughter, pistol shots, the shouts of the rafflers and the rattle of conversation formed a pleasant and animating medley of sounds. At the masquerade a brilliant spectacle was presented. Hundreds of dark-eyed maidtffls and blithesome lads engaged iu the merry dance together, their happy pa rents gazing admiringly on. The cos tumes were bright and fanciful, and all seemed to enjoy themselves to the utmost. Verily, there is no danger of the Hebrew race dying out in Macon, to judge by the troops of little Israelites who are coming on. Of course, under Mr. Butterfield and his enthusiastic and accomplished corps of amateurs, Belshazzar was rendered secun dum artem. But the hour is too late to say more of these festal scenes, and we refer the reader to the local page for par ticulars. One of these reads as follows: Sound prosperity must rest upon a sound basis,' and real money is the only sound currency. To resume by the exist ing system is as idle as to bail water with a sieve. Paper notes arc essentially aux iliary with a currency, but they are not coin and not money, but substitutes for it. But unfortunately these substitutes are, except in extraordinary crises, always the practical measure of value. The price of nothing in America is measured iu rela tion to coin, except in those periods of collapse in which paper and all kinds of property are brought to the sharp test of immediate convertibility into coin, and then with the result of a decline in value, commensurate with the expansion of tho Currency volume, of which three to one is considered a safe rate, and is often much greater. It is simply as a grand scheme oj inflation, resulting always and not seldom in these ruinous reverses, that the people dread the substitution of a bank currency for Treasury notes. We are quite willing to see the Sena tor’s resolution pass—but not as an ini tiatory step to the substitution of bank pa per as currency for United States Treasu ry notes—which, whether a legal tender for debt or not, will furnish a safe repre sentative of value in the hands of the people, which local bank paper never lias been and never cab be. Why? Because of the perpetual temptation to overissue, addressed to tlie hundreds of thousands who control the thousands of these banks.

He Preaches a Phillipic Against In toleration in all the Churches— Thumb-screws. On Sunday last the sensational pulpit orator of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, smart ing under the treatment he had received from many of the brethren of his own church, fairly boiled over in his wrath when abusing the intolerant of all denom inations. The spirit of his discourse evinced that he himself wa3 a remarkable exam ple of tlie intolerance of toleration, just as we saw many exceedingly intemperate advocates of intemperance in Boston last fall. But the speaker, while uttering some wholesome truths concerning the lack of Christian charity, and tlie priestly tyranny occasionally to bo found in all denominations, greatly overdraws the picture, aud slanders the living God. There is an absence of dignity, and a savor of the forum and hustings pervading eve ry line of this so-called sermon, which illy befit the sacred surroundings of the sanctuary. The text read: “ Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.” (Luke 55). We give a sample: Quoting tlie text, Mr. Tahnadge said: Christ said to John and James, good men, who had got mad and wanted the Samari tans struck with lightning because they differed in religious matters; John and James thought they were doing a good thing, but Christ turns their hearts inside out and says, “ You think you are serving me by being so intolerant of these Sama ritans. You are not. Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.” There have been great blundering instruments of tor ture in different ages, but the thumb-screw was comparitively delicate aud belonged to tho fine art of persecution.

Fastened to the thumb aud tbe screw turned, it produced a concentration of pain that would sometimes, not always, make a man change his opinion. At the first turn of the screw he began to think that perhaps lie might be a little mistaken in his religious seutiments. Another turn of the screw and he was almost disposed to adopt the opposite theory. Another turn and he said,', “stop! stop! I think just as you do.” Then the thumb-screws unloosened. Now, some suppose that that instrument of torture belonged to the davk ages between Charlemagne and Hildebrand. The fact is it belongs to all ages and all churches—Catholic and Prot estant, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran and Congregationalism It works as lively to-day as it did in the tenth" century. In other words, the spirit is ever abroad which will make you think, as it thinks, do as it would have you do, or make you suffer. Perhaps it would not kill you. Nor-the thumb-screw never killed any one, but it would phich you and twist you untilyou surrendered. “Think as I do on tho sub ject of lay delegation,” says the Methodist Church. Some Methodist replies: “I do not think as you do.” Put on the Metho dist thumb-screw. “Believe as I do on the subject of baptismal regeneration,”, says the Episcopal Church. “I do not ac cept your theory,” says an honest Episco palian. On with the Episcopol thumb screw. “Think as I do,” sajjs the Baptist Church, “on the subject of close commun ion.” One of their members says: “I do- not believe that.” On . with, the. Baptist thumb-screw.' “Forbid women’s- preacliing,”says the Presbyteriah Church, “and stick to'the old way ..of doing, things.” A Presbyterian-responds: 1 '“I can sec no harm in women’s preaching, andlthiuk something new in the modes of working maybe salutary.” On with the Presbyterian thumb-screw. And in all the conferences aud associations and coun cils and Presbyteries of the country, there are men who are, comparatively speaking, in favor of thumb-screws. “Why?” you say, “I do not see it.” Oh, beauty ofthe thumb-screw. You may carry it in your vest pocket and no one will know you hare it. 1 know men who would make splendid Herods, Arabs, Robespierres. They hare all the spirit of social, political and ecclesiastical tyranny. All they want is the opportunity. Had they tl£chance, they would . . stir you up with pitchforks, take you with red hot tongs, and give you a course of Torqucnuida. . ■ • To-day I sound the knell of ecclesias tical tyrants and cheer all ministers of the gospel, of all denominations, in their attempt to be free. Stay in the denomi nation where you are, and make a fight for liberty. Do not cross over from the Methodists to the Baptists, or from the Baptists to Presbyterianism, or fiomPres- byterians to the Episcopacy, for all denont- nominations are pestered with - men Who oppose ecclesiastical freedom. I staid in the Presbyterian pliurch because I received' many letters from all parts of the land, saying in effect, “Stand firm. You repre sent the men in our denomination who ' want to get free from painful espionage and ecclesiastical tyranny.” It was not my battle that I was fighting, more than the battle of nine-tenths of the ministers of tlie Presbyterian church, who have been obliged to submit to the tutelage and hypercriticism and laborious interpreta tion of an overbearing one-tenth. • Coughs, hoarseness, asthma or any ir ritation ofthe throat or bronchial tubes, will be relieved by taking Dr, Bull’s Cough ’ syrup.

Mr. Elliott dug out of these mines, with only his field iforce, $1,200 worth of gold ore. Jackson, J., concurring. I am of the opinion that when the estate of a bank rupt is administered, one court should ad minister it. The framers of the Ameri can Constitution seem to have had unity of administration in view when Congress was invested with power to pass uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcy. Un less uniformly administered, the uniform enactment becomes almost necessarily multiform. Courts differ iu construction, and tlie intent of the Constitution is defeated by our complex system and our diverse constructions. Whilst, therefore, the question is settled by . the adjudications of a majori ty of the State courts, and especially of the Supreme Court of the United States, the last appellate tribunal on questions arising under the constitution and laws of tbe United States, that before the revised statutes the courts ofthe State had concurrent jurisdiction with those of the United States of suiis brought to re cover the assets of the bankrupt, it is not plain to a plain mind that the question was rightly settled. The constitution re quired the law to be uniform, and if uni formity of construction is essential to car ry into effect the uniformity of enactment, in a uniform manner, and if courts many and jurisdictions many have precisely the opposite tendency, it is reasonable to pre sume that Congress desigued to give to the United States Courts the exclusive ju risdiction. But that is settled; let it stand settled. Afterward the revised code was enacted and by that code exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the courts of the United States “in matters and proceedings in bank ruptcy.” Is the collection of the asJJ sets of the bankrupt one of the matters and proceedings in bankruptcy? It is the root ofthe system—the sine qua non ■without which there can be no ad ministration of the assets. The great ] impose of the act is to relieve the debtor from his past indebtedness and to pay his debts with the assets he returns. Many of these assets are choses in action, and unless they be collected there can be no complete administration of the assets; for the reason that the court has not possess ed itself of them, s» as to administer •them. That the assignee may collect them ■ through the district and circuit courts of the United States, is clear; and therefore the analogy between these courts, or the district court and our courts _of or- dinaty in respcarltYthe gririlPof power’to administer the estate of deceased persons t fails; for the reason! that our qbiii^s ofpr- i dinar)’ have ha jurisdiction to-collect"any thing by suits therein, and never, did have any., ' But tliie jurisdiction of the courts of the United States in. matters and proceedings in bankruptcy is defined in tbe original bankrupt act, and it Is expressly given among other matters, to collect : the assets ofthe bankrupt; and bythe reversed stat utes the jurisdiction of those .courts in matters and proceedings in bankruptcy, is made exclusive. It would seem to fol low that the part of the jurisdiction in re spect to the collection, is rendered by that enactment as exclusive, as is the adminis tration of the assets, when collected, and the final discharge ofthe bankrupt—or any other matter or proceeding necessary to reach the consummation ofthe entire object of all the matters and proceedings, to-wit: tile payment to on the bankrupt’s debts as far as his assets will pay them, and bis final discharge from the indebted ness which those assets will not be suffi cient to pay. r • The words,'“matters and proceedings in bankruptcy,” strike me as very broad and comprehensive. T can hardly conceive of two words which could well embrace greater compass. A suit is certainly a “proceeding.” The very origin of the term imports a procession. I believe it-is derived from the French word which' means to follow, and in the olden time the suitor was followed by hi3 suit, or those who backed him; aud thus insti tuted the suit with the procession which followed h ! m. - ' So the word “matters” would seem to embrace the collection of the property of the bankrupt, as the very gist of the mat ter—the marrow—the -cream—the fruit of all the*matters in bankruptcy, so far as an honest , administration of "those matters affected the bankrupt's creditors. . . . In addition to the reasons given by the Chief Justice when this question was be fore decided by us, I venture to throw out these suggestions; The dissent of mv able and learned as sociate always makes me distrustful of my own ruder judgment, even when fortified by the venerable chief:-justice, who has so long presided in tliis coqrt and whose life is indissolubly Interwoven with -the growth ofthe jurisprudence of Georgia from its foot in first- Kelley -tothe latest leaf upon it now; and jwhen that dissent is sustained, in great measure at least, by the highest courts in Massachusetts and New Yoik, the distrust is 1, necessarily in creased. iiww The .opinion of Mr. Justice! Bradley,■ cited by Judgei McCay; in )vhiclt the same broad construction of the words “matters and proceedings of bankruptcy,” was given in order to confer jurisdiction' in the Cir cuit Courts lof the United "States over suits for tlio assets of tlie bankrupt, in .States other than that whore the petition was filed, would'seem, however, to strengthen the view of the majority of this Court; and then the fact that the Supreme Court, of the United States in a case de cided in 97th United States, confined their judgment, that the State Courts still had concurrent jurisdiction to collect the The Macon and Brunswick Railroad Lease—Tho Contract with the Cen tral. The status ofthe lease or sale ofthe Macon and Brunswick road remains un- > charged so fas-as Ihe public are informed, but the very absence ofariy rumors onthe — subject for several days, leads to tho in ference that the lessees are successfully prosecuting their financial arrangements . in New York- The Seaport Appeal is not only hopeful, but sanguine of the re sult. It says: :: ; v Mr. Couper is still in .Now York; and we are without definite information as to the progress ofthe Macon aud Brunswick railroad .movement.' Macon gets iip a rumor eveiy day, bnt she has thus far failed to start a single reliable conjecture. We are altogether hopeful of results. All developments and all shades of action that have made themselves 'clearly visible in the labyrinthian muddle of recent events, indicate tbe entire freedom ofthe Couper-Yibbard lease from entangling alliances, and point to the road, with the extension to Atlanta, as a foregone conclu sion. It seems to be so regarded at : Ma con, Atlanta, Nashville, Louisville, Cin cinnati and New York. Nobody, ques tions the ability of the lessees to. perfect the lease and miild the extension, and it is folly to assume that they havn’t the business sense-to secure the prize by prompt action. , By prompt action we do not mean in stantaneous action. Some little time ' is required, even on Wall street, to • appifis ? n tion interests and liabilities, : organize a company and arrange details for handling a great enterprise and building a hundred miles of railroad. So we should possess our souls in patience aud calmly await the denoument. .-. -— : Generous and Noble—Help for the Poor Irish.
