This thing ia not caJenlated to inspire respect

Hr. Hill Nets Illmurll ItlRht.
We published a day or two since, a paragraph
clipped from the Atlanta correspondence of the
Chronicle and Sentinel, charging Hon. B. H.
Hill with being ad interim Conley's counsellor
in affsirs of State. We expressed, at the time,
grave doubts as lo the correctness of this charge,
and added the hope that Mr. HiU would put
the matter beyond dispute over bis own signa
ture. This he has done in the Atlanta Consti
tution of yesterday, in whieh he declares that
Conley is a stranger to him—that he has navsr
been In C.'a presence but twice in bis life, and
that bia counsel has never been sought by Con
ley on any question.
Upon the subjects of the gubernatorial elec
tion, the genera] situation in Georgia now, the
character of the present General Assembly, and
of the Governor jnat chosen, Mr. Hill writes as
follows:
1 watched with very great interest and even
anxiety the temper and setion of the General
Assembly, Just sjourned, during the first two
voeka of iu session. Since then, a few days
excepted, I have been absent from the city at
tending the courts. I became fully satisfied a
wiser and mors patriotic Legislature never as
sembled in the Bute. Thus far it has won a tide
to the confidence sod gratitude of the people.
Its brief, but noble, true and manly roport npon
onr Federal relations nienta the unqualified,
gratified and even grateful approval of all good
citizen*.
Whatever may have boen my own opinion or
the opinion of others, upon tbn legal abstract
question of the poster of the General Aaaom ■
bly to order a special election t o lake rff ct npon
a vacancy in the executive office which had oc
curred before the set was passed, can make no
difference now. Tbo General Assembly had
the right lo determine that question. They did
detenuino'it. It involved only the construc
tion of the Htatc Constitution on a question
only of legislative power affecting only Slate
interest and policy. Tbo gentleman chosen by
the people under the sot lo fill the nnexpired
term I know well. He ia a wise, discreet and
safe man. Ho will exocnto the laws faithfully
and impartially upon all eitixena. lie will do
nothiug ultra or revolutionary, and bn will
respect and obey the Constitutions of Ihe
United States and the State of Georgia as he
finds them. There can, therefore, be no possi
ble justification for Federal interference, and I
hope and believe there will bo none.
A Fonrliil Commentary on tlio t lill-
ly «>l Foreign .MlHsIonury Work.
The Conrier- Journal in commenting npon the
ease of the parricide Ware who was bung in
New Jersey a few days since, rightly adda that
there was a terrible emphasis in almost the last
words ihe wretched rrealnro uttered on Ihe
scaffold:
"If I had ever reeeived half ihe attention be
fore I got into prison that I have sinoe, I never
would have been here.” Ilia life and that of
the whole family was one of dignaliog brntalily,
squalor. Ignorance and Inst that would have
disgraced a Hottentot kraal,whereas it was spent
in a pleasant New Jersey village, hardly an
hoar's ride from either New York or Philadel
phia. He knew nothing of religion; the name
of Jams, was only familiar aa adding emphasis
to an oath, and the mysteries of revelation were
aa unknown to him aa the language of the Tab
mad. When asked if be believed in Christ, he
said, "I don't believe in Jeans; I don't know
nothing about him," and with these words fresh
on hit lips he was sent to bi* account. And
yet we oontribnte onr hundreds of thonaandato
the oanae of foreign mission*.
Boom's One Term Resolution proposes to
go into effect in 1873. The Senator aaja he did
not wish to interfere with personal preference*
for the next term. The passes* of the resolu
tion, however, would place the Grant men in a
strange position—that of admitting the mis
chievous consequences of dust terms, but nev
ertheless proposing to tolerate them some time
longer In respect to the personal .anxiety of
General Grant for a renewal of bia official lease.
It may be donbted whether the reeolntion will
go through under the oironmatanoes, although
probably the judgment of the oonntry would un
done tt. Few will doubt that the polioy of this
administration has been shaped altogether by
mere loat for re-election.
Naw Law Fun.—'We inadvertently omitted,
yeeteiday, to direot attention to the card of
Blount A Hardeman, a new legal firm that baa
jnat been eatabliahed in this city. The senior of
the firm hat been a resident of Maeon some
months, and ia oonnted among onr moat active,
enterprising young citizens and rising lawyers.
The junior, Col. Isaac Hardeman, late of OUn-
ton, ia a worthy ooadjntor of onr friend
Blount. We have known him sinoe the halcyon
days of oolleg* fan and frolio when he was a
studious, promising youth, and ever sinoe, and
always hoard a good report of him. What he
is now, and how he stands aa a lawyer, ia well
known in this section. We call this a steady
team with vim enough for any pall, and aa
such we welcome it to the honorable roll of
Maoon's law firms.
Count** Tnnon uo Liatmoxo.—We
have a wide range of temperature in theee
United State*—for while printing aeoonnte of
weather below zero in the West, we are chron
icling to-day thunder and lightning in Macon.
There was a good deal of both yesterday after
noon, and one shower whieh is not often equaled
in the oouree of the year in the amount of wa
terfall in sueh a length of time. The flood
eo copious that the water stood in the streets
lika a lake. They did not drain as fast as th*

Tax IxTQrrrom Oottox Tax.—We saw a peti
tion, yesterday, whieh ia reedy for signature*
here, asking Congress to refund this iniquitous
tax. W# understand a strong effort will be
made to have this tax refunded during the pres
ent aaaaion of Congress, but we have little faith
initasnooeaa It will do no harm, however, to
try what can be done, and signing the petition
is little or no trouble. The petition can be
found at the offio* of the Southern Express
Company ia tbia city.
Tax Constitution blame* ns for making n
brief synopsis of some public doeumsate whieh
appeared originally ia its eoltunns without ered-
ittag the lieu and figures mentioned to that
paper. W* had no idea of doing injustice to
that paper, o* that any credit would be due or
aeeeptod under th* circumataaoee. There was,
in fact, not a Un* itksn from documents in
question.
ATUxno axo Masnmm.—Senator Pries
$ md* ns a copy of the memorial to Congress by
the Governor and Legislators, In behalf of the
Atlantic and Mississippi eaaat, which aaks for a
donation of land or a loan of the credit of it 0
Government. There should be earnest efforts
to enlist the whole West in this movement, mud
no doubt it can be done with proper exertions.
Soctw CaaeuXA Arraihs.—We copy to-day
from tt leading Baptist paper in New York City,
s very striking presentation of the condition of
Booth Carolina, from the pen of the Rev. Dr.
Winkler, of Charleston. It is difficult to read
that clear statement of aflsirs in our sister
Bute with the some calmness which has been
maintained by the disUfignised writer.
t itRisrriAs holiday*.
No Paper Till Wctnewlayr Mnrulufl.
Our usual Tuesday morning's Taumaara will
not appear this weak, nor probably on the
week following, on account of the holidays.
We are entitled to at least two days out of the
holidays, and they both occur on Monday,
and the fact that, on both these days, there
will be a general suspension of trade, a* well aa
political business, throughout the world, would
leave little at nothing in the way of news to
oommnnieato to the reader, at best. Barring
accounts and there will be, therefore.
imiHsg to tell, and the printer with his lens
laborious fellow mortals, can intermit for
day in each week the eternal round of day and
night labor, which leaves him very little time
in the whole 36J days for social enjoyment or
even intercourse with lua own family. The
daily paper is the moat oonfining and exhaustive
of ail pnnroits.
Moat of ns probably dose (he year nnder cir
cumstances of great depression. The past has
disappointed ns and the future ia unpromising.
The hilarities of Christmas will be restrained
and modified, in apito of ourselves, by present
embarraament or future apprehension; but it ia
well to remember that apprehensions generally
outrun realities, and in such a time aa this, the
w<tT»A is thrown off its balance and a sort of
mental contagion pervades all cIsaac*. We
question, whether in the vast majority of eases,
great fluctuations of trade are not in reality
due in n more important degree to mental de
pression than to any other cause. Defeat bring*
universal discouragement and discouragement
begets n careless and apathetic condition.
When the publie mind reacts, activity revive*
without any apparent adequate material change
in the condition. Not alone are the Southern
and cotton growing States laboring just now un
dur this depression, bat it to not worse here than
in the great commercial centres. Trade to said
to be “dead" in New York, and it to not aa bad
aa that in Macon.
By and by, probably within a month or so,
{though the wise acres all prophecy the oppo
site) the people will wake up again, and begin
to find ont that the ease to not so bad as they
thought it. Trade will revive, and the spirit of
enterprise blaze np again all over the country.
The harvests are generally abundant—food
cheap—the supply of money to ample, if it be
turned loose—and there is no especial reason
why trade shonld be "dead." Even in Georgia,
the ootton crop will bring not far from *s much
money aa that of last year, while the transfers
of goods have been very light, and the indebt
edness is much smaller. We think trade mask
revive, so soon as the cotton reserves of the
planters are parted with. Meanwhile we are
all learning valaablt lessons of economy and
management whieh in the fntnre will be im
proved to the general peenuiaty benefit.
Let ns, then, borrow no over-bnrden of
trouble and anxiety during these holidays, bnt
throw off rare and join heartily in the innocent
festivities of the season, resolved, if trouble
comes, to meet it with nudauoted hearts—ener
getic industry and clear consciences. We bid
onr traders, one and all, a merry Christmas.
TUc Ministry ou Hie Increase.
Two of onr clerical friends and former pas
tors are rejoicing nnder the advent to the one,
of a splendid ten ponnd boy, and to the other of
a brace of the same sort.
These little sprigs of divinity, we are happy to
learn, are all doing well. We won't particularize
as to the color of the eyes, tho shade of the hair
(if they have any), and the peculiar accomplish
ments of tho little innocents, because minister's
wives are still mortals; and we love peace and
quiet.
This, however, we feel called npon to do.
These excellent men of God have given another
tonching exemplification of their faith in the
promise of Holy Writ, that the seed of the right-
cons shall never lack for bread. It required
Ihe devotion of aFanl, to attain to such a meas
ure of tnbiime confidence in these days of home
steads *rd sad moral declension. What, then,
is the obvious duty of their respective churches?
It is to abjure parsimony in their treatment of
God'* servants, and give freely and munificently
to the families of their beloved pastors.
Let them give and keep giving, until they
really feel that they are making a sacrifioe to
God. Then will the coveted blessing come
from on high, like tbepreeions dews of Uermon,
and tho oil that ran down npon Ihe beard of
Aaron. We tell onr readers that spiritual lean
ness, temporal reverses, the goadings of
troubled conscience, and that general tin rest
whieh to inseparable from neglected doty, will
attach to those who keep back the hire of the
laborious soldiers of Ihe cross.
The life of ihe faitbfnl man of God, is a
constant scene of toil and sacrifice. Added to
mental labor, always great and unceasing, to
the terrible responsibility of bearing npon his
soul tho immortal interests of a great congrega
tion. Woe to me, he exclaims, if I preach not
the Gospel, yet how ran I bear the burdens of
this people, and what can I do for their salva
tion ? The inquiry causes sleepless nights and
an agony of apprehension.
Bnt let it bo remembered too, that the set
tled pastor to cut off from all secular means of
support, and to expeotod also to lead the chari
ties of the church. For him there to no pros
pect of retiring in old age to enjoy his otium
cum dignitate npon the frnite of his industry.
On the oontrary, with an aching heart be sees
gaunt famine staring bia little ones in the face,
when tbier sainted father shall deep his tost
sleep, and nothing bnt the blessed promise, “I
will not leave yon oomfortlesa,” sustains his
sinking heart. Think of this, ye prosperous
merchants, rich banker*, thriving mechanics,
and substantial farmers. Grudge not a portion
of yonr eubxtanoe to tho devoted paster who to
with yon in sunshine and shade, at the mar
riage altar and in the death scene, and whose
prayers ever aaoend like fragrant inoense in
yonr behalf. God loveth the cheerful giver,
and the liberal tool shall be made fat.
The above remarks are not intended alone
for the latitude of Cathbert and CarterariUe.
They apply to every church and oongregation
in this broad land. Let every one then bid hia
minister a happy Christmas, and leave at the
parsonage some tangible testimonial of good
will and appreciation. It will make many hearts
rejoice, and oanae you to exclaim it to more
blessed to give than to restive.
