Bica awn Ilatc.—It seem* inherent in human
nature to admire the beautiful, and yesterday
we were forcibly impressed with this fact da
ring s visit to the establishment of Messrs.
Brown A Oo., on Second street, we having re
ceived a characteristic invitation to do so. Wo
found their extensive store crowded with ladies,
and the air dense with exclamation points.
“Oh! bow beantifnl this lady’s work box in
crystal and velvet; bow perfect the fillings of
gold and burnished steel! Mark this exquisite
portemonise; how angelic the pearl carvings
are? Bee what a natty and cute Uttle match
box; it is quite a conundrum: no one likes
give it np. What is the cost of this toilet ca
in ivory with gold fittings?" A perfect din of
an oh remarks assailed our cars. Ax we per-
oeived that both of the brothers Brown, with
their usual gallantry, were entirely too much
engaged in doing the agreeable to the bevy of
fair ones that surrounded them to notice any
thing masculine except by one of their smiling
bows, we quietly turned our attention to the
huge piles of books around us. They com
prised every sort, style and description, from
the gorgeous editions of the poets is gold ud
Russian leather to those of a cheaper and more
modest style. How we did break the tenth
commandment that forbids us to covet our
neighbor's goods, and how promptly we earns to
a conclusion ns to the difficulty of making
choice with such an embarras du riches** scat
tered around. One moment our ehoioe would
be a massively framed and brilliantly colored
chromo; the next the unique ivory chessmen
and the pearl chess board, the finest and cost
liest in the South. A magnificent oak stationery
holder would attract our notioe, only to be erad
icated by a glance at the luxurious gentleman’s
dressing ease of ebony ud silver, with its
thousand tod one items of oomfort ud conve
nience in gold ud pearl. Ob, for the purse of
Fortunatos, we sighed, but alas, we sighed in
vain, and obtaining a “Faber No. 2,” the ob
ject of our visit, we departed, casting
“A long, s lingering, a loving glance"
behind ns at the superb display of Christmas
and holiday goods that were far beyond a local’s
puree, but still “full high resolved" that we
would return e’er Christmas and obtain a suffi
cient supply to cram, at least, the suspended
stockings of the little ones st horns.

Lessons In Cookery.
Hans Schmidt he loves his sour kraut,
Crapeau doals on ze frog;
John Ball likes beef and ’alf and ’alf,
The Chinee goes for dog.
And there’s truth in Wellsrs Pieman’s claim.
While at Grimalkin looking;
“I can make you mutton, beef or veal,
There’s everything in cooking.”
The Georgian is cosmopolite.
With his hominy and hog;
He’ll eat the Dentsoher’s sour kraut,
Or he’ll go the Frenchman’s frog.
Tis oooking the savory dinner makes,
No msttor what the food is.

Fibst Baptist Chuech.—Rev. W. M. Mein
tosh, D. D., of Marion, Alabama, has been
oailed to and aooepted the paatorsto of the First
Baptist Cbnreh in this city, and will take charge
of his flock dating the seoond week in January.
We congratulate the church upon their good
fortune in securing one so eminently qualified
in every respect for the responsible position.
Dr, Molntosh is a ripe scholar, a deep thinker
and an impressive and eloquent speaker.
Sidewalks.—We are requested to call atten
tion of the proper anthoritiea to the bad condi
tion of tbs sidewalk on Cotton Avenne, at its
junction with Pine street. It is said to be almost
impassible at night In this connection
mention the trap at the end of the new raised
walk in front of the passenger depot next the
wagon entrance to tho enclosure. Parties pass
ing down toward Johnson & Smith's after
nightfall are liable to step off and get a con
siderable fall. Wouldn't it be well to ereot a
railing so ns to prevent aootdents of the kind ?
Akotbeb Fiee—Almost.—Within the past
month we have had font fire alarms bat none
have proved very serious. List night at about
o’olock tbe alarm bell aounded, and soon all
the fire bells were ringing. It was some time
before we oonld learn tbe whereabouts of the
fire, bat at length found that it was in the
Brown Honse. The hearth in tbe parlor had
burned throogh, and bad not timely measures
been need the bouse would have been consumed
A portion of the floor was cat swsy, and the
fluxes extinguished before an engine arrived
We must say, however, that tbe companies were
all on hand promptly, and were at the scene of
action in a very short time.
Wise & Dobbs.—We have before made men-
tion of this firm, as worthy tbe patronage of
sll who wish any article in their line. They
Import their goods from first hands, and are
thereby enabled to successfully compete with
other dealers. While we would not take the
reaponsibilty of saying that they will sell to yon
cheaper and better goods than others in the
same business, we do say they will deal as fairly
and sell as cheap as any other dealer. In con
nection with their establishment is Mr. G. A.
Smith, than whom a cleverer gentleman never
lived. [[[
A Scexz roa Suhxeb.—At the Mayor’s court
yesterday was presented s scene that would
have sent a thrill of “joy unspeakable" to the
heart of the gTeat Massachusetts miscegenator.
To a decent man it was of the most disgusting
character, and showed the depths of degrada
tion to which a fallen woman can descend. Sev
eral white women were arraigned upon the
charge of cohabiting with negroes. The evi-
denoe was pointed and certain in two of the
cases, the parties not even denying the charge.
Sarah McDonald and Bailie Jones were tbe
names of these lovely damsels. Whether they
cune from tbe negro worshipping portion of
this glorious land of liberty or not, we did not
learn, bnt suppose they did not. They have
simply fallen from their high estate of virtue,
and cure not how deeply dyed in infamy and
shame they may become. They appeared as
indifferent as thongh they had gone thither on
mission of charity. Ed. Campbell and Wil
liam Tickner were the names of the negro men
with whom they were living. Mayor Hnff fined
each conple fifty dollars. We hope the Grand
Jury will investigate the case thoroughly at
their next sitting in January.
Matos's Cocet.—The temple of justice pre
sented a varigated scene yesterday morning.
Not lees than twenty-one law breakers were ar
raigned and found guilty of different charges.
Men and women, white and black, were crowded
together in beantifnl confusion. Bnsthead
was the chief cause of most of the troubles.
The miscegenstors were first disposed of with
fine of $50 per conplc or sixty days work upon
the streets.
Julia Chambliss, Pass Aides, Lizzie Willitms,
Sarah Bonnel, Jennie Bxmaly, Henry Waters,
Ed. Cornel, Ben Benifleld, Isaao Walter, Ned
Williams and Dock Richardson, some of tbe
women white and some black, the men all black,
bad a ga-lorions old time ont in Tybee the night
before, with whisky, mono, dancing, hollowing,
etc., and can pay for their fun $5 each or as

Joseph Plant took eight dollars from a coutry

I Hilliard Higgins decided to go into the scrap
iron bnsinero, and commenced with a docking
stove that'belonged to a venerable looking sis
ter of Sumner. Sumner loves to make mocey,
and this dear aster ot his loves to hold on to
her oooking stove when she has one. Hilliard
can pay Stunner's sister $5 for her stove, or fill
damp carts with street dirt until the 7th of Jan
uary, 1872.
Mat Williams, Emma Harris, Elizabeth Bow
ers and Jennie Fields, hoping that their brother
Chswles, from Mntosnhcsetts, would have some
special bill passed throogh tbe Senate for their
relief, should tbe En-klui demons of this be
nighted region attempt to deny them as many
privileges as they see fit to take, proceeded to
take moat ot their privileges in tanglefoot ten
cent whisky. Then they wanted to tear each
other's eyes ont about it, and our kind-hearted
offieers couldn’t witness such scenes of honor
without taking pity on the poor creatures.
They accordingly prooeeded to give them lodg
ing where they oonld be looked after and kept
from such naughty conduct. They paid $5 each
for their privileges, except Jennie, she planked
down an X. Then the court pat on one of his
ballyist looks and his beaver.
THE GEORGIA. PRESS.
Stockton, of the Augusta Constitutionalist,
and Fildes, of the Quitman Banner, were
Savannah on Friday, and oysters and “Artillery
Punch" “ris," in conaequenoe.
Rev. James McBride, of Quitman, has re-
oeived a call to the Baptist Church of this oily,
and will remove here about the first of the
new year, as we learn from the Banner.
An infant child of Mr. J. T. Holland, of
Columbus, was poisoned lest Wednesday, by
an overdose of laudanum, administered throngh
mistake by its nurse.
We clip this item from tbe Columbus En
quirer, of Friday :
Coxtesexce Axecdotzs —. While the question
of the insanity of a member of the Conference
was yesterday being considered, one preacher
stated the case was clearly not one of mental
nnsonndness, as the accused could st any time
Dreaoh an hour and a half to two hoars. Tbe
Bishop shook his bead and remarked, “That's
a bad symptom." We think so too.
A preacher from ono of the lower counties
asked to be dismissed from the Conference, on
the ground that his hone had died and he was
not able to wade throogh bis eirenit. Tbe rea
eons for withdrawal were deemed good and suf
ficient.
The Professorship of Modern Languages in

Tbe Augusta police made their regular annual
raid on the draymen of that city, last Friday,
for not taking out license. Nineteen were

The Gainesville Eagle says more then fifty
families arrived there last week, from Ander
son and Ooonee districts, South Carotins, on
their way West. They represent apper South
Carolina in a most deplorable condition. The
Eagle also says that Mr. James Wofford, of that
county, had one of his hands horribly lacerated
by a circular saw, last Wednesday. It was cat
throngh its entire length.
The last Hawkiusville Dispatch relates one
of the most wonderful occurrences of whioh we
have ever heard. It says that the Baptist preach
er of that place reoeived a $ 100, a few days ago,
which was due him for services rendered
country church ten years ago.
Major John W. Cameron has succeeded Col.

Tbe fine for driving a dray too fast throngh
the streets of Savannah, and trying to dodge a
policeman who proposes to interview yon, is
jnst $10 or fifteen days free board—whichever
yon please. We think this tariff quite moder
ate. Suppose Macon adopts it?
Savannah sent Liverpool 5,103 bales of cot
ton, valued at $458,697 34, last Thursday.
The celebrated cotton case of Garsed vs. W.
A. and Jeremiah Beall, was argued in the United
States Circuit Court, at Savannah, on Thursday,
by Meaara. Robert Toombs and Linton Stephens
for the plaintiff, and B. H. Hill for tho defen.
dants. A decision was to bave boen rendered
tbe next day.
Judoe Alexaxdeb ix the Hunteb Case.—The
Thomaaville Enterprise offers tbe following ex-
traordinay argument in behalf of the aofion of
Jndge Alexander in commnting the sentence of
Hunter from death to imprisonment for life,
aftor tho Supreme Court had refused a new trial
and the Governor a pardon. We agree with the
Savannah Republican that if there be merit in
the plea, better burn np the law books at onco,
and abolish Legislatures, and swear all Judges
to decide all cases according to "conscience!
Says the Enterprise:
Judge Alexander is known to be a consciotions
Christian gentleman, a lawyer of fairability and
a Judge of firmness aDd dignity. Whatover
may be tbe feeling of tbe citizens of Brooks
against him, with aU due deference to their
opinions, we venture to say that if he erred in
the case of HuDter, be erred on tbe side of con
science. Conscience has something to do with
Christian men, and the fiat has gone forth as
irrt vooable as creation itself "thou shall not kill,"
tod what creature or corporation shall presume
to snnnl the law ot God ? We admit that if men
aooept tbe positions of Jndge they are bound by
the laws of men to pronounce tbe sentence of
death upon the criminals of that law; nor do
we mean to imply that Jndge Alexander was
governed in this way by any considerations of
tbo Divine injunction, for wo know nothing
whatever of bis opinions on the case ; but we
merely design, in justification of our remarks,
to bint at the invincible strength of tho defeooe
that may*be sot up in favor of all who shrink
from executing tbe highest penalties of onr
criminal laws.
Tbe dwelling honse of Col. W. P. Burks of
LtGrauge, was burned last Monday night.
Fnmitnre saved and honse fnlly insured.
Says tbe Rome Commercial of Friday:
The Fike ix Vax Webt—Pabticulobs as to

day night, burnt out the Masonic Lodge; Messrs.
Simpson & Phillips, who lo9t abont $2,500;
Jos. Wright, who lost store, dwelling and stock
of goods worth at least $4,000; and Henry
Kingsbury, whose loss was abont $2,000. There
was not a cent of insurance on any of the
property, and is consequently a total loss.
W. D. Barbour was held to bail at Atlanta,
on Friday, in the stun of $500 on the charge
of counterfeiting nickels, and $500 additional
bond on the cliargo of passing said counterfeit
nickels.
We clip the following items from the Atlanta
Sun, of yesterday:
Iscekdiabx Work.—A gin honse belonging to
Obediah Thompson, near Bolton Station, on
the Western and Atlantic Railroad, was set on
fire abont 9 o'clock on Thursday night. The
building was fired in three places. In the build
ing were 125 bushels of peas, 500 bushels cot
ton seed, a small lot of wheat and some farming
utensils, belonging to Mr. Thompson; also,
eight thousand pounds seed cotton, belonging
• Mr. J. W. Spink, son-in-law of Mr. Thomp
son. Nothing was saved from the bnilding.
Tbe loss by the fire aggregates some $1200 or
$1500.
Pbobable Attempt at Assabsixatiox.—Yes
terday, immediately after the Senate adjourned,
four buck negroes approached the door of the
Senate Chamber and inquired for Capt. Wbit.
Anderson, the door-keeper. Capt. Anderson
soon appeared and asked their business. They,
in a very insulting manner, said they had come
demand an explanation and satisfaction for
bis conduct at the polls of the Third Ward ou
the day of the election. The Captain, to avoid
an altercation with them, said he had no ex
planation to make, and qtuetiy admonished
them to leave. At this moment one of tbe
party stepped back, and placing himself in a
threatening and defiant attitude, cursed Capt.
Anderson, and laid if he would step down stairs
he weald very soon have satisfaction. The
Captain stepped back into the Chamber to get
something to defend himself. When he re
turned he conld jnst discern the tops of their
heads retreating down the Capitol steps “doable-
quick.” He followed them down stairs, bnt
when he reached the door they were far down
the street, running for life.
Herald on Georgia Complications.
The Herald, of Wednesday, is not far wrong
the following:
Akothxb Muddle ix Geosuia.—It appears as
If Uie State of Georgia is to be kept in contin-
nsl hot water politically. The question of The
constitutionality of the special election for Gov
ernor to fill the nnexpired term of the late Gov.
Bollock having, we believe, been amicably ad
justed by the nominatiou of candidates by both
ihe Democratic and Republican partus, tbe
Legislature proposed to extend the limit of its
session, which is fixed by the oonatitntion at
forty days, and passed a resolution to that effect
by a two-thirds vote. Bat the Radical acting
Governor—who appears to be acting upon the
principle of “pat a beggaar on horseback and
he will ride to the devil''—declared such ac
tion null and void because he did not sanction
He, therefore, directed the State Treas
urer not to pay members for servioe daring
the extended period, end ordered the Ameri
can flag to be taken down from the turret of
the CapitoL Here would have been a fine
chance for the enforcement of General Dix'a
famous order—“ He who hauls down the
American flag, shoot him on the spot.” Cir*
cumstances, however, alter cases. Tho whole
muddle seems to consist of a determination on
the port of the Radicals to retain power in the
State, in defiance of a clear Democratic ma
jority, and to call to their aid federal bayonets
in case of a oonflict between the Radicals, under
the present acting Governor and the Democratic
Legislature. Bullock, the late Governor, is re
ported to hare “gone where the woodbine
twineth.” His successor proves himself thus
far to be merely a juvenile Taurus in compari
son with the departed Bollock, his illustrious
predecessor. The Democrats, however, seem
determined to “take the bull by the horns”
ud fight it ont on the constitutional tine if it
takes till Christmas.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Washington, December 16.—The cotton re
turns reoeived at the Department of Agrioultnro
are similar in tenor to the November reports,
folly sustaining tho moderate promise of im
provement upon the somewhat gloomy views
presented in October; yet the change is so
marked as to modify materially the prospect
flr9t allowed in the monthly reports of July and
September—that latest returns would indicate
an estimate almost indentical with that of the
September report, for a favoring autnmn whioh
conld scarcely briDg a crop exceeding three and
one-third million of bales. Frosts have been
delayed till now, in some localities till the 20tb,
and tbe weather has been generally favorable
for picking without waste or disooloring of
fibre. A fair rendering of the recent local esti
mates which have been nmuoaily numerous and
complete, givos a total aggregate of 3,400,000
bales as the present expectation of the ootton

Washington, D. 0., December 16, 7:40, v. M {
The high barometer, which was Friday after
noon central in Louisiana, has moved east
and northeast over the South Atlantic States,
wbero clear weather prevailed to day. After
tbe rain of Friday the cloudiness has generally
cleared away from Pennsylvania to Maine, only
to bs renewed sgain this afternoon in advanoe
of an area of low barometer and threatening
weather that has prevailed over the Lakes. Tbe
central and lowest pressure, after moving south
east, baa passed'to the northeast and east
Brisk and high southwest winds have prevailed
on Lake Michigan. Tbe pressure has fallen
very low in California.
Probablitiea: A rain storm probably ac
companied with high winds is apparently threat
ening the coast of California. An area of low
barometer and threatening weather will proba
bly on Sunday extend noriheast towards Arkan
sas with sontbeast winds and cloudy weather
prevailing on the Golf coast. Pleasant weather
oontinnes on the Sooth Atlanlio States with
south winds. The low barometer on Lake
Superior will move east and sontheaet with
northwesterly wind on the Upper Lakes South
west winds on tho Low Lakes and Middle and
Eastern States,with threatening weather in New
York and New England. Cautionary signals
continue for this, evening at Chicago, Mil
waukee, Grand Haven, Detroit, Toledo, Cleve

Washington, Dcc-mber 16 —Before the com
mission under the Washington treaty, Anthony
Barclay vs. the United States, claimant, alleges
that while a resident of Georgia he did net in
tend to change his allegiance from Great Brit
ain. He complied with the Queen’s proclama
tion of neutrality. He pleads the President’s
proclamation confiscating property passing from
the inanarectionary to the loyal States. He
alleges various acts of plunder by Sherman’s
forces, and the occupation of two of bis planta
tions by Sherman’s ordsr. Barclay claims $275,-
000. Tbe United States demur that tbe tots
alleged do not constitnte a valid claim under
the treaty, acd that the United States is
not responsible, and the claimant by hia
domicile is not entitled to his claim as b
British subject under the treaty. Tbe Brit
ish counsel claim that tbe wanton destruc
tion of Barclay’s property was not neces
saiy. The incident was not justified by the
laws of nations; injuries so inflioted are unde
niably R proper subject for reclaiming. In the
case of neutrality, the British counsel admit
temporary allegiance under certain circum-
staaces to one power, bnt claims that when per
manent allegiance to another conflicts with a
temporary, it gives way to the permanent alle
giance. As Commission decides that the first
question is whether the Commission have juris
diction, which depends upon whether the claim
ant is a British subject within the meaning of
the treaty. This undoubted plea that claimant’s
residence in Georgia, excludes him from the
treaty is denied. The whole demurrer, ia disal
lowed, bat the United States government is at
liberty, if they see fit, to take issue upon the
facts alleged in tj)9 memorial.
