•’Scratch New York,” aaya Philips, "andyou
will find tbe Commune.” Accordingly ho lies
been "scratching New York" with one of his
bull briar speeches, and the lettor writers say
ha found communists by legions. Be received
• t remondous ovat ion and put himself at the
hoed of the G rand Labor movement, upon which
be le to floet, now that the anli-alavery aoow
has erased to bo Available. Philips, who never
earned a dollar by labor, ia profoundly im
pressed by tbe grand thought that Ibo poor
must be fed by taxing "tbe rich."
Fsauce ssn nn Ewrnm.—The Faria corres
pondent of the World asserts that the prospects
of the empire are brightening daily—taking on
new strength from tbe terrors constantly dis
played by Thiers, which are betraying him into
all kind* of tyrannies, as well as from the stag*
nation of trade and tbe prostration of industry,
Moreover, tbe Orleanist Trinces and Count
Chamburd are powerfulonlyin their mutual ani
mosities. Ckambord has declared that be, him
self, "would prefer the wild stock who last year
waa heir of the empire,” lo the Count de Paris,
whose grandfather forced his mother, tbe Ducb.
ern de Berry, to make poblie that she was
mother during her widowhood.
Hcantxa'a Cubiitma* Pees ext.—Io tbe Senate
tbe other day, Hnmner pathetically urged upon
his brethren tbo passage of a supplementary
civil rights bill, providing for a perfect admix
ture of colon, ns a noble Christmas present to
tbe colored race. On Tuesday last, bo intro
duced a bill for "mixed schools in the District
of Columbia," and besought early action of
Congress, insisting that the example would be
followed everywhere. Sumner is moonstruck
on this subject. Tbe effort to establish "mixed
schools” in Washington and elsewhere, by law,
will result simply in turning Ibo schools over to
tbe black* and no amount of legislation will
bring about tbe social Intermixture whieh lie
seems to think so essential to the welfare of the
blaoks. And so far as we can see, tbo Mac.i»—
tbe real negroes—do not desire association with
the whites. It ia only the mulattoes who are
dissatisfied with "colored associations" and in
slat on crowding among tbe whites in schools,
churches, theatres, oars, steamboats and hotels,
and enforcing sneb intrusion by law.
BaMta Cun' Haasqv annas.—We look a
stroll, yesterday, through Ibis popular plaee,
and found Messrs. Brown A Co. np to their
ayes, almost, in a wealth of attractions for the
holidays. They have never bad a larger nor
better selected stock of Christmas goods on
band, nor sold at more reasonable prioes. There
ia aeareeiy anything that can be desired in the
line of books, toys, and faney goods of every
description, lacking from their well filled shelves
and counters, and glittering ahow-oaaes. In the
line of pocket diaries, memorandum books,
pocket book* and portmonnaies, of the moat
elegant workmanship, they can suit any taste
or pocket. We especially noticed acme Russia
leather pocket books that, empty or full, cer
tainly deserve to bo a joy forever. Tbe timea
am indeed hard, but we bare a superstition
ibat with auch a neat of beauty and fragrance
in one's pocket wooing the stamps, they couldn't
resist coming down.
But a column would fail to enumerate all tbo
beautiful and useful articles in this collection.
Only a personal inspection can convey an idea
of its extent and attractiveness. Be sure and
call and judge for yoanelf.
A Uxonuus.—:Samuel J. Anderson, whose at
tempt at anioide, by euttiug bis throat, in New
York city, last Friday, has been announced by
telegraph, was a Georgian by birth, from the
neighborhood of Atlanta. He was private Sec
retary to Gov. George Crawford, when that
gentleman occupied tbe gubernatorial, chair,
and afterwards chief elerk of the War Depart
ment when Gov. C. waa Secretary of War tinder
President Taylor. Ho also held a prominent
position, at one time, in the Clerk's Offioe of
tha 1'. 8. House of Representatives. He
deputy marshal of New York city at the begin
ning of the war, and was sent to Fort LaFsystte
for disloyalty. Sinoe the war be haa held offloe
under the municipal government of that eity
and more recently waa a elerk in the offloe of
Comptroller Connolly, and after that official's
resignation famished soma facts and figures
going to prove that frauds bad been perpetrated
to the Committee of 8eveniy, by whom be ex-
peeled to be rewarded with money or a more
lucrative position. His claims were ignored,
however, and henee his effort to take hia life.
Truly a sad ending for a man whose fortunes
were ooeo so flourishing.
A Goto xx Caroinr—.We read tha account
of bow that aoallawsg, from Camden county,
(Htllyer) was eanght gouging the treasury in
tha matter ot mileage,—in our yesterday's
legislative report—with peculiar satiafa
Ha charged mileage for 1,000 miles from Da
rien, and whan caught, pleaded ignorance of
the diatanoe! Could anything be more charac
teristic of tha specie.? But ha was made to
disgorge—the first oase of the kind even known
la Georgia or any other Southern State, sinoe
the grand thieves' raid of reconstruction. It
waa a small sum, but we like tbs precedent.
Perhaps, no*, that it ha* bean established,
and the feet demonstrated that a developer eon
b# mads to diagora*, some ot tbe big plunder
er* may be served tbe aam* way. Anyway,
we accept it aa a hopeful augury.
But, tan t there any more gougers of Hill-
yer’a sort, In the House? We would like to
•eawhat results a rigid investigation would
develop*. On* thing it certain: If there waa
no mileage bait to tempt the dishonest, there
could not be any gougen of this stripe at
least.
Apropos of this episode in Hilly**’* lif«, the
Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, tall* this atory. u
•ay*
Our readers will remember that on motion of
tbe Hon. Mr. dower, one of tbe negro mem
bers of lb* House, a committee wm appointed
to inquire into tbe oause of tbe United btates
flag being taken down from the Capitol, who
Investigated and reported that it had been
doo* by order of the soling Governor.
Mr. Uillyer chided dower for eUUcg for tbe
investigation—t. U him he did not know what
be waa about, and that be bad playod tbe very
d—1; so we bear.
When Uillyer waa arraigned for overdraviti.
1 .* mileage. Closer nulled, and u aimed
JT MBfwwhs'sfteycflflto*—1 aev?”
Two ol Them.
Thera are two of them in Atlanta. One is B.
Conley, who claims to be Governor with as
much show of law and reason a* if he claimed
to be Cham of Tartary. Conley, withe view
of showing that the Legislature of Georgia,
then in semi on, was not a Legislature, surrep
titiously removed the United State* flag from
over the chambers, and when the oolored Radi
cals inquired “who lole dat ar flag?" and ap
pointed a oolored committee to find out, there
ooold be no other response than “B. Conley,"
sed precisely so the oolored chairman (dower,
of Manroe), wm forced io answer. But, never
theless, twelve hours after removing the flag
and vowing he would hold no communication
with the Legislature, Conley waa quietly send
ing it official message* He had to take the
back track, and be haa got to do it again.
Tbe other chap is tbe Daily New Era, who
publishes the proceedings of the Legislature
under tbe head of “ Public meeting at the
Capitol,” and says:
A number of tbe citizens of Georgia, styling
themselves Senators and Representatives of
said State, met in tha Capitol building yester
day. We publish the following report aa items
of new*
These do not merely call themselves “Sena
tors and Representative*" aa Conley calls him
self Governor, but they are auch by tbe voice
of tbe people and tbe authority of the Consti
tution, and the New Era, like Conley, will find
out that their claim to be a Legislature will
have to bo respected.
r. N

llalloch'a School Commissioner.
Tbe Savannah Republican, of Tuesday, say*
We regret to see that, in it* superabundance
of ootucivalium, tbe Senate has reconsidered
tbe resolution requesting Gen. Lewis to resign
bis position of Superintendent of Education for
tbe Bute. It is enough that the people of
Georgia do not desire him to hold the position,
whether oompetenCor not. He cannot be use
ful in it While Georgia has equally oompetant
and far more experienced men of her own, will-
log to take tbe plaee, her people are unwilling
to set them all aside and go to the Federal army
•ad Freedman's Bureau for a stranger to super
intend the education of their children. And in
this they are reasonable. There is no State in
the I.Tfcrm that would not feel tbe same way,
and if the Senate Committee should do their
duty and respect the wishes of their constitu
ents, they will promptly report back this resolu
tion with a recommendation that it do pass.—
If Gen. Lewis bad anything like proper sensi
bilities, he would promptly surrender the trust,
and not wait to be invited out of an office which
be clearly bolds sgsinst tbo wishes of our poo-
pie.
We sgroe with the Republican. If Lewis
were not just what be is, an unscrupulous,
greedy carpet-bagger, with no thought nor care
beyond bow much money he can make out of
his office, he would at once resign the position
into which his pstron, the fugitive Bullock,
thrust him to the disgust of all decent people.
He does not suit the place nor the place him,
and least of all tbe people. We have plenty of
Georgians of ton-fold the experience and ca
pacity who aro in sympathy with the wants and
sentiments of their fellow oitizens, end one of
them should be put in Lewis' plsce as speedily
as possible. His appointment was an insult to
the while people of the State, and should be
eancelled at tbe earliest possible moment. We
do not know tbe Senate's reason for reconsider
ing tbe resolution requesting him to reaigo, but
it cortainly should be a strong one to reconcile
tbeir constituents to a line of policy that seems
oalculated to retard or binder a consummation so
devoutly to be wished as the resignation of thi*
man. S
The Bond Bill.
Durine the dobate on tbe passage of this bill
over Conloy's veto, our Senator, Hon. Tbo* J.
Simmons, chairman of the Senato Finanoe Com
mittee, made, as wo lesrn, a very strong and
effective speech, which we regret was not re
ported at length in some one of the Atlanta
papers. We find tbe following abstract of it in
the Chronicle and Sentinel of Tuesday. It
sent by tbe Atlanta correspondent of tbst paper:
Mr. Simmons, of the Finanoe Committee, said
ibat tbe members of tbst committee were so
fearful of committing error in what has been
reported to tbe bouses of tbe Legislature, tbst
tbe most expert and respectable financial men
within reach of tbe committee bad been con
sulted, and tbeir moot unqualified approbation
was passed upon what they had embodied in tbe
bill which waa then in review before them and
whieh had fallen under tbe Exooutivo veto. Tbe
message wm a most remarkable document and
an insult to the Legislature. It almost, in so
many words, accused Senators and members of
a design to repudiate engagements of tbe State,
and blacken tbe fame ot Georgians. Tbe Sen
ator said the Finance Committee bad before
them tbe Treasurer of tbe State, and be was
asked to declare before them what the debt of
tbe State waa, and bis reply should never be
forgotten : " Neither I, nor any other man on
earth can answer that question.” Why is the
honor of tbe State to be blasted by tbe disavowal
of a rascally elaim on it, or by tbe refusal to ac
knowledge a demand that ia utterly fraudulent?
Do men suffer in the publie opinion who thus
protect themselves ? It is the plea of robbers and
the confederates of robbers that, let it be a* it
may, demands must be acknowledged and
paid, simply for fear of tbe evil fame of repu
diate™. Wby ia our credit now bailed in the
dust? Let tbe men who have ran riot with
tbeir power just (lipped ont of tbeir bands,
answer. The way to keep the credit of Geor
gia when it has been brought by Radical mis
rule is to pretend to do wbat all sane men
know we cannot do—to pay tbe huge mass of
bonds, legal as well as fraudulent, which,
Ibioker than the leaves of the forest, are strewn
over tbe length and breadth of the land. And
here a little Dutchman, who can’t speak plain,
oomas and publishes a letter, addressed to tbe
Legulatnre, in one of our city papers, advis
ing ua what to do to keep tbe honor and credit
of our beloved State from disgrace. He would
advise all intermeddlen and lobbyists, aa bo
advised this Dutchman, to pack tbeir carpet
bags and get out of the way of gentlemen and
men of honor, who know their duty to them
selves and the pnblio, and mean to do it.
It looks like madness when the very Treas
urer himself cannot tell whether tbe State
debt is 17,000,000 or 25.000,000 to go on, and
declare our resolve to pay all claimants without
asking any questions. This is repudiation
with a vengeance, and gentlemen had better
aea this in time.
Political Maneuvering at Washing
ton—The "One Term" Parly.
The Baltimore Sun's Washington correspond
ent under date of Sunday hat, says it is stated
by persons who are in the movement, bnt
who object to their names being used in
print, that a conference of leading democrats
in Congress was actually held there last week,
with several anti-Grant republicans, who are at
work organising an opposition party, to ooalease
with the democracy to prevent Grant's re-elec
tion. All that resulted at the meeting waa a
universal acquiescence in a resolution declaring
in favor of tbe one-term principle for tbe Pres
idency. Tbe anti-Grant republicans expressly
declared that they desired to leave tbe demo
eratic party free from all ooalitioo, yet to leave
it prepared to act with vigor and wisdom at the
proper time. In the meantime, the "one-term”
party will soon be ready, it is assumed, to de.
valope Us line of battle. Alt it is proposed
that the democrats shall do, as an independent
organisation, to to support the "one-term” prm>
ciple and declare for it in caucus or convention.
Tbe following is the resolution agreed on at the
conference already held:
"Resolved, That we will henceforth Inscribe
upon our banner* tbe one-term principle for
tbe Presidency of the United States, and will
likewise proclaim among our teats for tha com
ing campaign against vice, corruption, confed
erated wealth and aristocracy, these of "no
more monarchy in America,” "no more stand
ing army,” and no candidate for Chief Magis
trate, under the new yearning of the worid for
peso* who repreeenta or typifies the art cf
war.”
Tbe Georgia Radicals Meditating a
Trick.
The Constitution, ot yesterday, says a totter
m received in that eity the day before, dated
tbe 8th inst., from a distinguished souroe at
Washington, which bad tbe following para
graph. We call the special attention of Demo-
crate everywhere to it. They must watch out
for this trick and trump it by arousing majority
for Smith. Bay* the writer:
“I heard to-day that tha Geoigia Radical*
did not propose to nominate publicly a candi
date for Governor against Smith, bnt proposed
to vote a silent vote for tbe man they agree
upon. Tbe negroes and white Radioale are to be
posted beforehand; the negroes to be furnished
with tickets beforehand with tbe name of tbe
Badicai candidate upon it. They hope that by
not running a candidate the Democrats will feel
eo confident of eaeocm that they will make but

The steamship Herman Livingston, from New

A Nxw Mode or Kaisnto Monet Adopted bt
the Psekbitebiah Chubch.—A new plan, in
lieu of the system of renting pew* has been
adopted by the Presbyterian Church. It was
announced Bunday. Tbo church numbers noarly
300 members. To pay all expenses some $125
per week is required. The pastor is paid $200
each mouth. The plan adopted provides for
freo pews. Families can retain those they have
been accustomed to, or change with others by
agreement, but it to clearly understood that all
the pews are free. Each person of the regular
congregation, is to be asked by proper authority
wbat amount be or she can contribute for the
year. This ia reported to the treasurer. The
amount subscribed by each is divided into fifty-
two equal sums. An envelope, marked with this
fractional ebarg* is famished each on a every
Sunday, as tbe offioera pass around, tbe sub.
seriber deposits his envelope with tbe money
enclosed, into tbe receptacle. The treasurer

oome, envelopes for each day missed.
The Chronicle and Ssntinol of Taeaday prints
ibis item:
Glue Won't Do.—Our readers will no doubt,
remember tbe massive and burglar proof looking
ballot box which was used at uie State election
last December. It bad threo looks amf three
key* and only one small opening for tbo bal
lot* It looked aa strong as a bank vault, yet
it WMu't It must have been putting on air*
for it seems now to be very week. On yester
day it happened to be put in front of tho fire in
tbe office of tbe Clerk of tbe Superior Court,
end tbe heavy botton fell out of its own mo
tion. It was glued to tbe box, and the beat
was bad for tbe glue. There was still another
bottom, but it looked as if it only needed a lit
tle prizing to fall out too. In making ballot
boxo* nails or screws should be used. They
don't look aa well, but they are stronger than
gluo. An iron safe would make a good box,
and the county should buy one. It is lnoky
that tbe Democrats insisted upon setting u
during tbe eleotion nights tost December. 1
they bad not, tbe bottom of tbe box might
bave come off, and there wonld have been
troublo in getting tbe votes back. By all
means let us bave an iron safe next time.
Mr. D. L. Boober, of Columbus, was run over

The Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, has tbe fol
lowing items:
A Female Lobbtist.—The Bond Ring have
in tbeir employ a smart, intelligent, handsome
tody, from New York, who is exerting her
charming influence in tbeir behalf. This kind
of lobbying baa been quite successful in Wash
ington and other cities farther North. We be
lieve it was never before introduced in Georgia.
Of oome she is in tbe interest of Henry Clews

Damian Arrzxrr to Rob.—On Monday nigbt,
Mr. Ransomo, elerk for J. J. Marbut, on Deca
tur street, near of the Air-Line Railroad cross
ing, hoard a considerable noise aronnd tbe store,
and thinking it near day, got np and lighted a
candle. He then went to the back door to look
out, when three negro men came np and said
that they wanted to buy a candle. He got a
candle. And they banded him a ragged fifty
cent fractional note, whioh was a counterfeit.
Mr. Ransoms declined to take it They then
asked him to change a $5 bill, but he replied
be bad no change. Two of them were stand
ing ta front of torn, and tho other bad slipped,
unperoeived, to tbe end of the counter to pre
vent his escape. Those in front of him de
manded what money he had, attempting to
shoot (both having pistols), bnt their pistols
snapped. Mr. Ransoms pulled out of the desk
a revolver, but it also snapped. Tbe despera
does ran out of tbe store. Just aa they were
making tbeir exit, Mr. Ransoms fired, the ball
striking the door. As the unarmed negro ran
out he gathered up Mr. Banaome'a boot* and
earned them off. This was all they obtained

tify tbe parties.
A Test Question In Hie Senate.
The morning telegrams represent tbe United
States Senate in agonies upon a retrenchment
resolution brought forward by Mr. Trumbull,
on whieh the Grant and anti-Grant Senators
are dividing and will display their relative
strength in that body. The Grant Senators
object to tha sweeping character of the inquiries
and justly fear something may be struck which
ought not to be brought to light. Trumbull’s
resolution ta as follows:
Resolved, That, tbe House of Representatives
concurring, a joint select committee on re
trenchment, consisting of four members of the
Senate and seven members of the House, be ap
pointed by tbe presiding offioen of the two

Tbe journal was read and approved.
Tbe report of the Committee on the State of
the Republic was read. The report represents
the condition of the Bute as greatly improved
and promising in all respect*
Mr. Hillyer moved that 100 copies of the re
port be printed, and that it be made the special
order for to-morrow. Carried.
Ur. Simmons offered a resolution, that
where a* the press of tbe State, in consideration
of its incalculable contribution to tbe political,
moral and material progress xn4 prosperity of
tbe State, has for several years past been ex
empted from taxation; and wberea* tbe press
is now required, by direction of tbe Comptroller
General, to pay taxe* not only for the present
year but also for past yean, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the press of the State be re
lieved from tbe operation of tbe tax law* to
•wait tbe action of tbe General Assembly upon
the matter at its next regular session, beginning
on tbe second Wednesday in Janaary, 1872. -
Mr. Hillyer favored the resolution and boped
that newspapers wonld be exempt.
Mr. Reese opposed the resolution. A similar
proposition had failed at the last session of tbe
Legislature. He knows of no principle which
ought to exempt newspapers from taxation.—
Large amounts of capital are invested in this
way which yields remunerative income* News
papers do not demand tbe foetering care of tbe
Bute as a new institution. We are told tbst
they are the educators of the people, bnt they
are at least no more so than the preachers,
teachers and lawyers of the ooantry, and they
are not exemst from taxation.
Mr. Hillyer agreed with the gentleman, that
no class of men do more to educate and elevate
the people than the lawyer* but be was mis
taken in considering publication of a newspa
per a paying institution, for his experience in

with Soluble Phosphoric dcid, which is nece&saiy
to render it most effective and economical aa a fer
tilizer. 250 pounds cotton seed composted with
250 pounds of this Acid Phosphate has been found
by two years’ experience to produce results rarely
equaled and never surpassed by any other fertilizer.
A Compost made in this manner contains all tbo
elements of vaine that can enter into any fertilizer.
It is the only manner in which cotton seed can bo
properly used. With it the planter can supply him
self with a fertilizer of tho highest grade at the
smallest coat, which will enable him to use it liber
ally and thus realize tbe highest results from the
labor and time employed in making his crop.
