noSO lm J. VALENTINO.
Daumier.—Meeers. Brown ft Co. ere in re
ceipt of the January number of this fsTorite
magazine with tbe ladies, snd it is folly np to
its well earned reputation for being one of the
beet of Its dess. ^
CasraiauT Conso. —By reference to tbe
advertising column, it will be seen that Mrs.
Moulton will certainly be here on the 21st insL
She will be supported by Mr. Brookhouse Bow
ler, Sig. P. Ferranti snd Mr. James H. Wehli.
Her reputation as a vocalist will doubtless call
forth a large audience. Reserved seats can be
had at Brown ft Co.'s bookstore after Monday
next.
Busctass IxiPBonao.—Sinco tbs rise in the
prioe of cotton, our streets present s more lively
appearance, and our business men manage to
master np a smile when yon meet them. For
some time past they all wore faoes about two
feet long and looked “ blue.” Should cotton
remain even where it is, there is hope of “bet
ter times” during the remaining half of the
son than in the half that has passed. Cheer tip,
gentlemen.
Matos's Corn.—But one live specimen of
the genus homo put in an appearance yesterday
morning. Richard Mooney was his name snd
drinking bnstbesd was his game, the night be
fore. He looked like one forsaken as lie an
swered to the roll call and stepped forward to
rise to explain. He said he was drunk, bat—
snd his honor stid he didn't want any " bats'
—be preferred five dollars; all of which was
respectfully submitted, and all hands and the
court took a walk.
Cotton Bzoeitt*.—As will be seen by refer
ence to onr market reports, tbe cotton reoeipta
in Macon have been ralher heavy for three
days past. The reoeipta at all the porta,
yesterday, were something over twenty-three
thousand bales. These heavy receipts can
readily bo accounted for by tbe advanoe in the
market They do not in the least, lead ns to
expect a larger crop than has been estimated.
Parties who could, have held their ootton, look,
ing forward to an advanoe and have harried it
to market as rapidly aa possible while the mar.
tot was excited. The c'oee of the year being
near at band renders it i ecesaary that country
people, who have run ncn.imts during tho year
to be paid at ita elose, (a* i» almost invariably
the ease in regard to all goods, other than gro
ceries) should realize withiu a few days, and
have consequently taken advantage of tbe little
spur to sell. Should the present prices con
tinue for ten days the daily reoeipta would
■gain fall back to one-half the present receipts,
as tbe bulk of tbe crop has been disposed of
and only a few bales were left to each farmor,
and they have trader tbe present excited mar
ket disposed of all they had, still remaining.
Cooks.—Under tbe present “order of things”
when a family employ a cook, she takes for
granted that, independent of her wages, her
hatband and all her children, no matter if Bhe
has s dozen, must be fed u well as herself.
She most have a room and her husband moat
have tbe privilege of occupying it with her,
bnt be is not willing to do so much as curry a
horse or black your boots for the privilege. If
the provisions are not famished willingly to feed
all tho family, they are stolen, and the loss is
greater than if taken by consent We beard
a gentleman any yesterday, that he had offered
a negro man, whose wife he bad employed as
a cook, his “feed” if be would hitch and un
hitch his horse to and from his buggy at night
and morning and black bis boots. Tbe negro
was indignant at the idea, and why not ? His
wife had a room, and of course he could occu
py it with her. IIU wife was cook and
could supply him with provision, so where
the necessity for his performing such menial
aervioe ? This is not an isolated ease, but it is
oommon,as every man can testify who bass
married woman employed aa cook. Cannot
something be done to pnt a atop to it? Cannot
eoncert of action be bad among the citizens so
that idlers generally will be tnmed out of
doors ?
Local. “Purrs.”—We gave notice a short
time ago that no more advertisements would be
received for insertion with the local reading mat
ter. At tha time the notioe was given, several
contracts bad been made, which, of course, had
to be filled. Complaints have bean made that
such advertisements occupy the greater portion
of onr department, and we are blamed for it.
The majority of newspaper readers, not un
derstanding the matter, take for granted that a
local editor has such things entirely under his
own control, and that “pnffa'' are gratuitously
given by him. Since onr connection with the
Tkleobaph and Messzsgzu, this mode of ad
vertising has become quite popular, and not a
few have availed themselves of onr oolnnra to
bring their establishments and business to the
notioe of the public. We received, yesterday
afternoon, a letter signed by several of onr
friends, who are subscribers to the Teleobafh
asd Messesokb, inquiring if a certain firm in
the city did not famish us with a cooking stove
and all other goods in that line for housekeep
ing purposes; and if a certain proprietor of a
restaurant did not famish us with “birds by tbe
dozen ?" We can assure them that the firm who
advertise the stoves of which they speak, have
never given ns ao much aa one oent’s worth of
anything, and that we have never eaten a bird
from the restaurant spoken of, aince we have
been in Macon. Every line that appears in onr
column in praise of any particular business is
paid for to the proprietors of the paper, and we
are not responsible for it. We have made this
explanation, believing it to be a duty we owe to
our friends who hold ns responsible for all that
appears in this department We receive a sal
ary for our service*, and are not allowed the
privilege of “puffing” anybody unless tbe pro
prietors am paid for it, even though we should
receive presents by the thousand;.
Gastzb Masada has charge of the oyster de
partment at the Georgia No. 2. and can famish
oysters on the half ahell, by tbe bnshel, by the
gallon, or any way you want them.
Oss, Two, Theda—We saw a man standing
at a certain street comer yesterday, counting
away almost as fast aa he could talk, and we
stopped np and asked him what be was doing.
It was some minutes before he answered us, ao
intent was he upon what ha was doing. At
length, stopping abort off he said, “oh, phaw,
it’s no use to try to count them.” We were
more anxious than ever to know what be meant,
aa wa saw nothing unusual to be counting, but
found upon second inquiry, that he was at
tempting toeount tbe number of persona who
went to Carlos’ saloon for dinner. We told
Mm that he would get tired of that fun, aa it
lasted from twelve o'clock till Undown. He
quit and went in to see “how tt was himself."
It wasn’t long before he came out smacking his
lips. He oouldn't resist the temptation when hs
saw tbe bill-of-fare.

The low barometer in New York has moved
northeast beyond our stations. The high ba

An area of low barometer has developed in tbe

PROCEEDINGS OF THURSDAY.
Reported for the Telegraph and Messenger. 1
Ssnatz.—The Senate met at JO o’clock, a
President Trammell in the chair. Prayer by
Rev. Mr. Warren.
The roll waa called. Present: Messrs. Black,
Brown, Borns, Cameron. Candler, Erwin, Estes,
Griffin, Heard, Hicks, Hillyer, Hinton, Hoyle,
Jones, Jordan, Kirkland, Kibbee, Lester, Mat
thews, Nichols, Naturally, Peddy, Reese, Sim
mons, Smith, Steadman and Wellborn—2“
The journal was read snd approved.
The special order of the day being the report
of the Ckimmittee on the Ststo of the Republic,
it wu taken np and read.
Mr. Smith offered the following:
Resolved further, That we are for the perpe
tatty of the Union, the Constitution, snd the
strict enforcement of tbe laws; the political
equality and proteotion of all its citizens; the
right of every man to express his political snd
religious opinions, and vote as he pleases, with
out intimidation or molestation; an economical
and honest administration of the Government,
both State and Federal; the faithful payment
of all honest debts, both Ststo and national.
Mr. Reese said that he favored the whole re
port and the resolutions of tbe committee, par
ticularly the second snd third resolutions.—
These resolutions reach the true causes of the
confusion and lawlessness which have nnfnrin-
irately prevailed in come portions of the State.
It ia not true that the people of onr State are,
as a body, lawless. It is tree that there are in
dividuals in every part of the S'ate ready at all
times to prodace confn*i >n snd violate tbe
criminal law. The reason why the criminal
law has not been vindicated snd violators of the
law puniehed, is mainly from the inefficiency of
prosecuting officers, and want of confidence in
judicial officers. In my own judicial oireuit,
the Northern Oireuit, while we have had a faith
ful, industrious, incorruptible Jadge, we have
had practically no Solicitor. In that circuit,
criminals of every kind have oscaped, from the
ignorance and weakness of a prosecuting officer.
The sanio is notoriously tree in other circuits.
Some of these prosecuting officers, besides be
ing weak and ignorant, have sold out to viola
tors of tbe law. Besides these principal caneea
of crime, the shocking abuse of tho pardoning
power has produced a most deleterious influ
ence on the pnblio mind. When desperate rob
bers and murderers have been convioted by the
Coart and sentenced to death or the penitentia
ry, the late Governor has exereised his power
of pardoning. Men secured of the highest crime
have been pardoned before trial. I ask, what
could the honest, law.abiding portions of the
country do to support the law and pnnish crim
inals, with snch impediments in the way ? J
maintain, as a trnth which oannot be success
folly controverted, that tbe mass of tbe people
of the State are willing to execute the criminal
law. I maintain, when faithful, capable prose-
eating officers are appointed to office; when
men are appointed to administer justice over
our poople who are able, honest, and possessing
xublic confidence, law and order will prevail.
[ pray for the return of that good time, and I
believe, Mr. President and Senators, it will
soon come.
Mr. Bums spoke of the flagrant abuse of the
pardoning power, allndicg to the case of a man
by the name of Long, who had been guilty of a
most unprovoked and unjustifiable murder on
the person of the Clerk of the Superior Court
of that county, and who, after conviction and
confinement in the penitentiary, was pardoned
by the Executive. Tbe failure to enforce the
laws has depended largely upon tho ineffioienoy
of prosecuting officers.
Mr. Smith favored the resolution. It de
clared the truth in every respect It was not
intended to be political, and he did not desire
to lug in politics with any of the legislative
proceedings. It expressed his sentiments, bnt
>e would roadiiy withdraw it unless it should
meet with a favorable reception by tbe majority
of the Senate.
Mr. Nichols considered the resolution de
cidedly political and hoped it would be with
drawn; ho could not support it as it stood.
Mr. Jones favored the resolution. He took
an oath to support the Constitution and he
could never object to the adoption of a resolu
tion which endorsed that Constitution.
Mr Wellborn thought the report ought to be
endorsed b; all good citizens of all parties. It
was so designed by both parties, to report
snvh principles aa wonld be readily recognized
and acquiesced in by all good men. He thought
the amendment was a firebrand well calculated
to exoite politic tl and party questions, bnt
after the explanation made by its author he was
satisfied that it was offered in the spirit of
kindness and he should favor it.
Mr. Brock spoke against the resolutions at
length. He believed them impolitic and dan
gerous, and spoke of their probable reunite, if
adopted, at lesst now. He said the resolutions
do not express the truth in regird to his
district.
Mr. Hinton replied to Mr. Brock ably and
eloquently, step by step reviewing the report
snd resolutions, snd challenging contradiction
to any of its allegations. He insisted npon
and illustrated each one of them. He was
glad that the representat ous of the Senator from
the 38tb, in relation to his district, were excep
tional, snd aminadverted npon the willingness
of that Senator so to represent them.
Mr. Wellborn reviewed and replied to the
speech of Mr. Brock, and discussed the resolu
tions. He had not intended to speak npon the
subject, supposing the report wonld readily be
endorsed by all good men, but felt bound to
support it in view of the spirit in which it had
been received by some Senators.
Sir. Brock replied.
Mr. Erwin called the previous question on
the report and resolutions, wbioh being sus
tained, and the ayes and nays being called, the
vote stood
Ayes—Messrs. Black, Brock, Brown. Bures,
Cameron, Candler, Estes, Erwin, Griffin, Hill-
yer, Hinton, Hoyle, Jones, Jordan, Kirkland,
Kibbee, Lester, Matthews, Peddy, Reese, Sim
mons, Smith, Steadman, Wellborn, and, byper-
mission, the President—25.
Nays—Messrs. Breton, Crayton snd Devcsnx
—3.
Bo the report was adopted.
Mr. Lester asked to be discharged from the
oommittee on the management of tbe Western
snd Atlantic Railroad, on the ground that the
committee wonld doubtless hold a long session,
and bis affairs wonld render it impossible to
give proper attention to it without great per
sonal inconvenience.
The President stated that in making tho ap
pointments he had done so with an eye single
to the fitness of each Senator appointed on the
committee and to the interest of the people of
Georgia, without any solicitation whatever from
the Senators appointed or any others, and having
so exercised the doty be was onwilliDg to dis
charge any member.
The Senate, by vote, consented to the dis
charge of Mr. Lester. Mr. Candler was ap
pointed instead.
On motion tbe Senate adjourned until to
morrow at 10 o’clock.
Horcs. —The House met at 10 a. xl—Speaker
Smith, presiding—prayer by Ker. Mr. Jones.
Journal of yesterday was read snd approved.
The case of Mr. Sergeant was resumed.
Mr. Phillips concluded his able speech in
favor of the majority report, and wu followed
by Mr. Bryan, who eloquently and ably favored
the minority report.
Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, offered a snbsti
tnte for tbe majority report declaring, that
after close investigation it appears that Mr.
Barge ant is not obnoxious to the fourteenth
amendment, snd that he is entitled to bis seat
as member from Coweta county.
Mr. Pon advocated the adoption of the anb-
stitnte, and said that Mr. Sargeant was willing
to take the test oath.
On motion the whole mstter was laid on the
table.
The oommittee to which was referred the
charge that T. G. Campbell, Jr., Representative
from McIntosh, bad drawn more mileage than
he was entitled to, reportod that said member
had drawn unintentionally (35 too mnch, and
recommend xd that he be required to refund said
amount. Adopted.
Mr. Phillips, of Echols, offered a resolution
condemnatory of the course of Hon. Benjamin
Conley in refusing to recognize the extension of
tbe present Genera] Assembly, which was on
motion laid on the table.
The bill to reinoorporate Gainesville under the
name of the “town of Gainesville" wu taken np.
Mr. Simmons, of Hall, moved to strike ont
the 14th section of tbe bill, which legalizes the
subscription of the city of Gainesville to the
Gainesville and Dahloncga narrow guage rail
road company.
Two letters and a memorial favoring the bill
as a whole, were read.
Mr. Riley earnestly advocated the passage of
the bill, including the 14th section.
Mr. Simmons, of Hall, wu equally earnest
in the advocacy of hia motion.
On motion of Mr. Gncrry, the bill wu laid
on the table.
On motion the House adjourned until 10 A.
K. to-morrow.
Fire Insnnvnrc Companies.
Last month we wrote a note concerning the
Liverpool and London and Globe Insurance
Company which did not altogethersuit the taste*
of certain parties who have been anxious to re
ceive credit for paying losses in foil, while they
have used every means in their power to extnt
money from men whose sufferings are too great
to be described by words. The paragraph was
as follows:
“Among the insurance companies that are
paying their losses in this city, without grum
bling or jockeying, foremost stands tbe grand
old Liverpool and London snd Globe. Quick as
the lightning coold carry it. after the great fire,
came word from the head office to pay all losses
in full; nor are the American securities to be
touched for this purpose, bnt the three millions
of dollars needed are to come from across the
sea. And it wu pleasant to wit ness the calmness
and urbanity of the company's general agent,
Mr. Vim. Warren, daring the days that imme
diately followed tha fire, answering all questions
promptly, assuring his clients that they were in
safe hands, and doing all he oonid to allay their
excitement.
At this writing, we chance to know that the
Liverpool and London and Globe has been pay-
ing ita losses in foil; that is to say, it has not
employed a set of jockeys called adjusters, to
use every cunning device for inducing policy,
holders to accept lees than the full amount,
carefully requiring thorn to sign receipts for
one hundred cents on the dollar, as some Amer
ican companies have been doing. We have had
opportunities for taking ample notes concern
ing certain modes of settlement adopted by oom
panics heretofore considered respectable, and
purpose showing at a fatnro time, how disreput
ably they have acted in these particulars. ”
What wu said daring the excitement imme
dtately following the fire, we now see no reason
to apologize for. The course pursued by certain
companies ha* been scandalous. At the time
these outrageous proceedings were going on,
we took occasion to make a thorough invest!
Ration of the matter; and learning beyond a
shadow of donbt the action of this “foreign
company,” as it ia called, we made a pnblio no-
tlce of it. We had good reason for feeling on
this subject, having been compelled to take 90
cents on tho dollar for a policy of insurance in
a prominent New York company, and the fntoie
of this publication depended on onr signing a
receipt in fall for the face of the policy. It wu
a matter of debate at the time this little insnr
ance was effected, whether it should be taken
ont in the New York company or the Liverpool
and London and Globe; very unfortunately it
wu not taken in the lattir. For many years to
come the people of this country will remember
what the Liverpool and London and Globe In
surance Company did for Chicago in her terri
ble hoar of need.—December Number Chicago

elements of value that can enter into any fertilizer.
It is tbe only manner in which cotton seed can be
properly uaod. With it tbe planter can an >ply him
