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. OITY AFFAIRS. SUNDAY MORNING. DEC. 17. I87L 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.

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 sist in keeping the streets in repair for twenty Joseph Plant took eight dollars from a coutry darkey without permission, which he refunds to the dty with twenty-five per cent, interest for one day's use of it. 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 the University of Georgia, made vacant by the cent death of Prof. Smead, will be filled by spe cial election at tbe meeting of tbe Board of Trustees, on the 19th insL Tbe Augusta police made their regular annual raid on the draymen of that city, last Friday, for not taking out license. Nineteen were bagged and made to settle. There are only 196 drays for that large city. 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. Davis as manager of the Screven Ilonse, Savan nah. The latter had been running the honse only since October 1st. 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 Loss, etc.—Tbe fire in Van Wert on last Thurs 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. BY TELEGRAPH 1>AY DISPATCHES. New Yoke, December 16.—William M. Tweed was arrested to-day, and remains in charge of tbe sheriff at the Metropolitan Hotel.

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 yield of 1871. It is stated on excellent authority that the Senate Committee on Elections and Pririlgea have decided to report adversely upon Blodgett’s and favorably upon Norwood's claim to a seat in the Sous to.

Governor Walker has pardoned ex-Mayor Ga- hoon, heretofore twice convioted of oomplioity iu tho Hounstein forgery. Very general satis faction is expressed at this action of the Gov ernor, who stated that his priooipal reason for so doing is that it was earnestly reoommended by a large number of worthy citizens.

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 land, Buffalo, Rochester and Oswego. 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. tlai kets—Kventas Report.
