The amount of pistolling now going on in
Georgia calls loudly for a general halt—a sur
vey of the situation—and a determined and
universal effort for reform. The Georgia pa
pers by yesterday's mail were speckled all over
with drunken pislollerlog. Many a man who
woke np Christmas morning in health and peace
was a bloody corpse before night from no cause
which would have evoked a harsh word had par-
Uas been sober ; and just about the same num
ber laid the foundation for life long misery in
taking life without substantial reason. Four
times aa many were made wretched by these
events, and a fortune thrown away tit coat of
trial and legal decision npon these cases of c “
slaughter and assault.
In few or none of these cases, bad not the
parties carried arms about their persona, woold
there probably have been any disturbance worth
legal inquiry. But now it has come to this
half tha young white men, and ntoe-lentha of
Ihe negroes, are in the daily habit of making
tbrmaelvas walking armories, and if any of
them happen to get whisky on the brain, Ihe
question of shooting somebody before they steep
it off, bangs on the chapter of aeeidentaand op
portunities. It ia a moat miserable condition
of affaire, and whatever there is of virtuous in
dignation in Georgia ought to be evoked to pnt
a atop to the practice. The whole machinery
of tto law should at once be energised to sup
press the carrying of aoorct arms. Committing
magistrates, effloere of the peace, mayors and
citizens, should all aid in suppressing this vile
practice, by ecmplatata to the grand juries;
and it should bo pursued until rooted out.
Bows* awn DaLanoa.—Bowen ia in Washing-
ton, and the great contested seat case from
Booth Carolina is to open as soon as Congress
convenes. It is impossible to take sides in that
fight. DeLarge, to the extent of hia abilities,
ia aa bad aa Bo wan. He ia literally “a misers-
bio nigger." Bowen’s papers are before the
oommittee.but those of Da Largo are not: the at
torney of the latter deelinea to file them becanao
DeLarge has failed to pay the expenses attend
ing the taking of tho testimony, amounting to
$1,600. This attorney aaya DeLarge baa no
prospect whatever for a retention of the seat
now held by him, but that Bowen was clearly
elected by the people of hia Congressional Dis
trict.
Kaon are now said to be neck and neck with
"ymUer-kivered fiction. Take, for example, the
following Chicago story« A young man indnoea
a friend to go with him on a business adventure
to Texas. When they arrive, he kills and robs
him. lie then returns to this State, pays court
to tha slater of the murdered man and marries
her, dressing himself for tho ceremony in tho
clothing of the murdered man. He is tracked,
arrested and taken back to Texas, and there
ooovtoted by a chain of circumstantial evidence
even more remarkable than the other features of
the tragedy lhat are rehearsed above. Bach
story, told between yellow oovers, would be
(rooked as too heavy a draft upon the credulity
of the reader.
Tna Boom Caaouxa DanT.—Tho Joint In-
veetigaling oommlttee of the Booth Carolina
Legislature, which has been setting all the
past summer in New York, report the total lia-
UliUea of the State at twenty-nine millions,
which, of course must aettle the question. The
difference between the Committee and Soott
ia only about twenty millions, but the decision
of the Committee will be aooepted as fact At
six per cent, the interest on this debt would be
•1,740,000, and payment of interest U of oourse
impossible were it attempted. The only coarse
will be to repudiate all the bonds issued, by
SooU and seals all the Uabilitlea down to the
standard of Equity.
Mccm indignation was aroused against an
KpjtMih magistrate for condemning, on s
trifling misdemeanor, a pauper, ninety-five
yean old, to one month's imprisonment with
hard labor. Publio opinion has mollified since
it was discovered that tha pauper was but
eighty-nine, end that he seeled the walls of his
prison and escaped the day after hia incarcera
tion. _____
Tux negro legislators of Sooth Carolina are
pressing a bill “to prohibit State official! from
leaving the State, exeept with the consent of
the Legislature." They roust be afraid that
Hoott will slip off some day aa Bollock did from
Georgia. These carpetbag officials need watch

rolina can hold their Governor by simply pass
ing a bill, they ought to do it, by all means.

The canraas for the PieeideLcy of 1872
to be fully opened. Six weeks ago, everything
in relation to it was in a dim aebulooa condi
tion, and the lines of one vast figure kept crawl
ing through the sluggish mist, as if none other
could settle on the horoscope. The doll unea-
manta of the Man with the Cigar grimly domt-
noered the circle., end upon ail «id« it w.s de
spairingly conceded, that General Grant
would continue to remain mss'er of the conn-
try. This, however, was not the judgement of
the most observing; and since the date we men

dear within the conjuration.
The n<w fire which so suddenly broke forth
in this city in September, had nerved tho great
purpose not only of awakening the people to a
senM of their own power, but of inspiring them
with a sentiment of patriotic duty, which was
to sweep the land. These epidemics of the
mind never burn themselves out within ‘ nar
row circle, tbey follow the furze of poHtieal
corruption wherever it may lead ? and thus

old negro man while driving an ox wagon, some
six or eight miles abeve the city, was shot by s
party of railroad negroes on Monday laat. His

how the difficulty originated.
The same paper says the streets of Columbus
on Monday were jammed with negroes from all
tho adjaoent country. They were generally do
cile, and had little or no money to spend—at
least ao merchants inform ns.
Colchbcs cotton receipts up to the night of
the 26th were 27,306 bales against 46,439 bales
last year. Stock 9,953 against 12,303 last year.
Columbus reports a bonded debt of $674,800
and a floating debt of $97,500,. The Council
committee report that it wilt be neoesaary to
raise a revenue of $124,000 next year, and in
order to do so to levy a tax of 2 to 2) per cent
on real estate and about I per cent, on mer
chant*' sales.
We find the following in the Savannsh Morn
ing News of the 27th:
A Cabd to th* Public —When I assumed the
proprietorship of tho Savannah Republican, I
was fully aware that it would require capital to
make it successful, and bad understanding with
friends to join me in the enterprise. The finan
cial condition of the oountry, however, during
the last thirty days, prevented the consumma
tion of theaa plans. I am nneble, aa a business
question, to see my interest otherwise than in
temporary suspension until I can complete ne
gotiations for publishing the paper after the
manner I originally purposed.
I will take this occasion to return my thanks
to the business community, who have adver
tised so liberally with me, and to the citizens
generally, for their kind wishes and encourage
ment, and trust it will be but a abort time be
fore I shall be able to present the paper again
to its readers with no difficulties in the way of
its success. Wm. A. Reid.
AaboM Alteobia Bbadlex reappeared before

Doubtful Couplizuebt.—Among the prizes

abandon practice in that line at once.
The papers in all the Georgia cities tall of an

Tito Appropriation Hill.
The Legislature, at its last session, passed the
regular appropriation bill for the current ex-
C lores of the Government for’next year, on
onday the 11th instant. Acting Governor
Conley, retained it tiU Friday, the fSlh instant,
the last day of the session, when he made the
following indorsement npon the bill:
The following appropriations made by this
act, to-wit:
The several appropriations in the first section;
tho appropriation for a printing fund in th.seo-
ond section; the appropriation to pay the salary
of the principal keeper of the Penitentiary in
tho thirteenth section; the appropriation to pay
the interest on the public debt, created prior to
July 4, 1868, in the 14th section, (this appro-
prtation being stricken out for the reason that
it discriminates unjustly between the creditors
of the State,) and the appropriation to the
Clerk of the Supreme Court, in the 16th lec
tion, are efitapprored and strikes out. All other
appropriations made' by this set, and not ape.
ctally act forth as disapproved, are approved.
December 15, 1871. .
Benjamin Conlet,
Governor.
It will be peroeived that he goes through the
form of vetoing several items in the bill, but
gives bis reasons for doing so in only one oaae
—that of tho interest on the bonds created be
fore the 4th of July, 1868—“that it diaerimi
nates unjustly between the creditors of the
State.” The meaning of which is, that because
the Legislature has not provided for paying the
interest ou Bullock's fraudulent and illegal
isauea, be would not allow the interest paid on
those that are known to be honestly duo by the
State, if he could help it This is the English
of it, if we understand it rightly, and, if this be
correct, he has clearly identified himself with
the interests of the plundering Bond King.
The first section of the bill, which is wholly
vetoed, provides for the payment of the salaries
of the Governor and State House offioera.
Judges of Supreme and Superior Courts, etc.
The printing fund named in the section is
$15,0*0. The 13th section appropriates $1,000
to the principal keeper of the penitentiary, and
the I6th $800 to the Clerk of the Supreme
Oouit for stationery, record books and binding
Opinions. We have tried to guess the reason
for vetoing these. We believe it is because the
old law makes a standing appropriation for
these purposes, at higher figures than this bill
provides. To illustrate: The printing fund
which he vetoes is $15,000. The amount of
this fond under the old law ia $25,000.—Atlanta

Daring the past week all the apparent in

been adverse to prices; Liverpool has been

have been free, and gold baa declined over one
cent, and yet the quotations here have im
proved ia., dosing, however, doll and nominal,
at 20Je. for middling upland*. This strong un
dertone and upward movement which has pre
vailed during the most ct the week is due to a
general feeling of confidence among holders,
assisted by a considerable speculative demand
on Southern account, and also by tha feeling
that the short interest for this and next month
yet to be covered is large. The offerings have
not been free, even attbe advanced quotations,
"lihoogh to-day there ha* been a dull market,
and „t the elo.-"' prices were nominal. After

Al- About Colcis,—We copy to-day a timely
paper on colds, ar.d their treatment, from high
medical authority. Golds have l cert ir.,1 anil
tions out a — ,
flames directly under the nooe of General
Grant in Washington, The resolution of Mr.
Trumbull for a committee of investigation
against the oorraptioaa of the national admin
istration was the point at which the fire took;
and the blind sycophancy of Canar’a satellite*
to prevent iU spread served instantly to bring
into combination the element* which, till that
moment, had been beaiUting against coabtion.
• In degree aa the oourtiera fought to screen
their master, the honest Senators grew in
strength of purpose, end after a "barp battle
(during which they successfully exposed the in
cautious servility of theiropponenir)th*y drove
them into an ignominious surrender. Tbe hon
est press of the country, oven that of the pre
viously Grant-Repnblicana (except in a few ta-
mentable instance*) cam* promptly to the rescue
of reform, and denounced Ihe shameful vaes

offer ol the utmost terms; and supplementing
that, followed, but with a suddenness which
was to the last degree suspicious, a message
from the President himself. This was sent for
ward under the bannner of civil service reform,
but every one knew it to be a mere device, and
it failed to retrieve tho fortunes of the field.
In «U'» first skirmish, therefore, the Grant
forces, tinder the leadership of Gonkling and
Morton, were not only severely beaten and
humiliated, but served, by their clumsy method
of retreat,to yield fixed lines and a distinguish
ed ]cad to a Republican opposition through the
Thus stood the field ou Tuesday last, when,
surveying it calmly, and finding the details of
the fight well opened, Mr. Sumner came forward
and launched the grand telt of tho campaign,
in giving notice that at an early day be would
offer a joint resolution, providing that “no per
son who has once filled the office of President
of tbe United Stifles shall bold the same again "
It is npon this theme, ao dear to the people l.
the United States for many years, SO sacred by
the indorsements of Jefferson, Clay, Jackson
and other sages of the republic, so necessary
now under tbe fearful increase of Presidential
power, will the next campaign be fonght. That
will be the inspiring impulse over which the
ground-swell of popular sentiment will heave,
while the actual demolition of the personal po
sition of onr speculating President, will bo ef
fected bv the keen blades of the reform Repub
licans, who already stand victors overtho cow
ering leaders of the administration. And this
plan of the campaign will as oertainiy succeed
ss truth and justice are certain to succeed when
championed by tbo people against fraud and
error. In the first place, the adoption of the
one-term principle is the neoeasiry initiative
to any plan of civil servioe reform, for that re
form cannot begin until the corrupting motive
of the President, to put all sorts of men in
offioe who will serve his re-eleotion, ia disposed
of by the roots.
In the next place, tbe people are not only in
favor of civil service reform, but universally in
favor of tbe one-toru principle, and opportuni
ties will soon be afforded to them to ex
press this preference, which will practically
render General Grant ineligible. The Demo
cratic party will, as we have reason to believe
adopt this principle en matte. It was the fav
orite doctrine of Jackson, as it was of Jeffer
son ; and even the most stubborn of its leaders
are willing to admit that they can stand with
advantage a little more of Jackson and Jeffer
son in their modern platform. One term was
also the favorite principle of Henry Clay, and
it was likewise the Bole campaign text upon
which General Harrises! was elected.
Thus we find it indorsed by the bistorio ap
probation of both parties, while there can be
no better proof of its universal and unremitting
popularity with tbe people, than that almost
every Presidential candidate has contributed
his recognition of that fact, by pledging him
self, in advance of bis election, not to be a can
didate a second time. This pledge was given
by Ulysses 8. Grant; and it now remains to be
seen whether the people are willing to forego
their hereditary wiRh in order to give him and
his family another lease of power.
There is one other element which we must
not overlook in counting np the force of the
one-term principle as applied to the miserly
and speculating man who now occupies the
chair of state, and that ia the labor element,
which after years of comparative lethargy ia
now working to the front with all the sounds
sod symptoms of an earthquake. These work
ing men do not believe in kings. They are of
the opinion that onr poKtie*l slrncture was fash
ioned in servile imitation of monarchy when we
broke loose from Great Britain, and that it was
an abuse of the first idem of republicanism to
pnt a single man at the head of the State.
They regard that man as a king,’call him
what we may; and they are right. With ns be
is more than a king; for, as such, we see supple
Senators bow down before him, and behold him
gain votes and chango majorities, even In pur
suance of his personal hates and pleasures, by
the donation of commissions, or of foreign
post*. More than a king, for he has more pow
er ; and worse than a king, because, unless be
be checked by the one-term principle, the nat
ural motive of a king to bo nprigbt and leave a
good name with hia people, is overborne by the
Presidential craving to be re-elected, at tho ex
pense of every sacrifice of conscience and of
honor.
These are the opinions of the labor men,
who are now ooming to the front; who believe,
moreover, aa do the entire of the internationals,
that the true depository of the executive pow
er of a repnblie is a committee of persons like
those at the head of the Swiss Confederation,
which has been a model of quiet, frugal, and
sagacious government ever since it was estab
lished.
And so think we. We have thus grouped
hastily together the forces which we think will
ere long express themselves in nnison against
the renovation of General Grant for next Pres-
dent of the United States; because we think
that one of the best pieces of service we can
just now render to the oountry' is to show to
those patriots who hang npon the fenoe that
they cannot make a safe market by dinging to
the dissolving fortnnes of General Grant.
The East Hirer Urldge.
Granite work to the height of ten feet hat
been placed in position and firmly cemented on
the top of the New York caisson of the East
River bridge. A new tier of granite, in blocks
varying in weight from two to six tons, is bnilt
every four days. Fifty men are now working
in the caisson removing tha mass of timber
npon which it was rested whilo waiting for the
granite. Large quantities of timber are taken
ont ever; day. and tbo prooere of sinking the
caisson will commence next week. The
pressure of air in tho caisson is now one
pound more than two atmospheres. The
pressure will be increased as tbe caisson
sinks ns til it rose lie* a boat forty pounds
to the square inch. The pressure is ac
cumulated by eleven independent air com.
pressing pumps, each ran by an independent
boiler. Each compressor force ss air Into a
Urge pipe opening into the chambers of the
caisson. Yesterday three pumps, making about
40 revoletions per minute, were at work.
In tbe brooklyn caisson the deven pumps
were required to act continually at a speed ap
proaching 70 revolutions per minute. The
Brooklyn caisson was bnilt of timber and not
lined with iron. A large portion of the air
forced into it escaped through the canlked
seems. Severn! time* the current of air carried
the flames of the candle* used By tbe workmen
into the crevice* of the woodwork and fired the
oauaon. Tho caisson oo this side of tbe river
has been lined with boilerplate iron. It it,
therefore, air tight, except at the bottom; and
is in reality a diving bdi. It will be lighted
with gas. The pressure of air is required only
to keep the water from running under the bot
tom. Tbe consequence is that the water has
penetrated the woodwork of ihe caisson ss ex
pected, and by contact with the inner casing
of iron, chills the air within. The temperature
yesterday within the chambers was about 50
degrees Fahrenheit—rather uncomfortable for
men who are standing nearly waist deep in the
■oft, black silt of the river bed. As the cais
son sinks, the proaznre of air and the tempera-
tore will it crease.
A great portion of the lilt is being blown off
by means of the compressed air. A pipe lead
ing from the bottom of the chamber to the open
air above is closed by a valve, and one end
placed partly in tbe mod Tho valTe is then
opened, and aa the compressed air in the cham
ber ruahes through the pipe, it carries with it
the soft mud. Tbe engineer, Mr. Martin, has
arranged a very simple and accurate instrument
which measures the rise and fall of the tide at
the caisson, and also marks the nnmbvf of
pounds pressure of air required is the caisson
to keep the water out.
On the top of the granite work surmounting
the caisson are three Urge derricks by which
the massive blocks of granite are lifted Horn the
tramway cars on the wharf, and lowered into
the place* designated for them on the caisson.

men will bo mere .tsed t < 150, and the work so

closely watch the detail* of the work, promptly
correct any error of the workmen. Ou iho

the latter are men who take care of the clothing
left by the workingmen, and the changes re
quired daring the day. Tiamwajs guide vans
trom the veescls bringing supplies to the store
houses and to the eais-ou. Ample arrangements
have been made to extinguish fires, should any
occur on the wharf or in the storehouses.
It is confidently expected that the bridge will
lie completed within four years. The tower on
the Brooklyn aide is progressing rapidly. Aline

Coloszd Laboe and the Cotton Ceop.—
The Louisville Ledger explain* the favorite
theory that the cotton-growing States owe their
great wedth to colored labor, and these are the
sole producers of king cotton, and bat for their
labor these States would be a poverty-stricken
country. Analyzing the figorea of the late cen
sus, and deducting first the colored population
of the non-cotton producing States, next the
colored populations of cities and towns who are
not engaged in cotton production, and third, the
colored labor employed in tbe production of
sugar and rice, the Ledger finds that the total
colored population whose support ia to be cred
ited to oottcc culture, numbers 1,800,000. Of
these, it is well known that the women and
children are no ioDger field laborers as in the
days of slavery. The Ledger estimates the
number of actual laboring men in this popula
tion at one in six, or a total of 300,000. An al
lowance of five bailee produced to each hand en
gaged is stated as an overestimate; and this
estimate would show 1,500,000 bales in last
year's crop produced by colored labor. But the
actual crop was 4,360,000 bales; so that, ac
cording to this showing, nearly two-thirds of
the entire crop was prodooed by white labor.
Butt aloe" xx tux Great Storm —A corres
pondent of the SL Louis Republican, writing cf
tbe late terrible snow atom along tho line of
the Pacific Railroad, "ays:
The train was caught in a bank; it conld
neither back nor go ahead. ■ The wires were
tapped and dispatches sent to different quar
ters for men and shovels. While the train was
waiting the buffaloes gathered from the plain*
to the side for shelter. If any one felt so dis
posed he might, from hi* seat in the car, pop
them over with his revolver—tbe rest would
not move—they could not be driven aw»y by
engine whistling or human voice, but crowded
their shaggy sides close up to the care and
there stood with bowed beads for tbe Btorm to
pass. Many were seen to fall down in their
tracks dead, from the cold, and when at last the
train was dug out and moved off, the track was
lined with these huge, shaggy, frozen carcasses.
We think a robe a luxury in winter—so it is.
Imagine the severity of tbe wcatner when the
animal who furnishes the lobe frcizes to death
under his natural protection.
Cuba man ur.—The Diario de la Marine,
tho government organ in Havana, is much in-
oensed by the talk of Ihe American press over
the bntchery of the schoolboys, and talks thus-
ly:
“Then, let those unjustifiable propagators of
calumny; profanatora of the tomb of Sidney
Johnson, which they demolished in New Or
leans in a vain search after imaginary treas
ures ; assassins of the Fiegan Indians; lynch
ers by divereion—let these, we say, talk and
declaim to their heart's content. Tbe dirty
froth of their rega era never reach the esentch-
eon of Spain, nor stain a brilliancy acquired
in twenty centuries. Let them, if they are in
earnest, throw off tho mask of hypocrisy with
which they oover themselves. Let them say
openly whither they are tending, what they
propose and desire. Let them in fine have
their actions correspond with their words, and
then shall we see who indeed will prove vioto
rions in an appeal to the god of battles pro
voked by them.”
Mr. Greeley Declines.—P. Donan, editor
of the CaneasUn,nominates Mr. Greeley for the
Presidency. Mr. G. pushes aside tho purplo
os follows:
You only err as to the proper candidate,
am not tho man you need. Your party is most
ly Free Trade, and lama ferocious Protection
ist. I have no donbt that I might be nominated
and elected by your help, but it would place ns
all in faUe positions. If I, who am adverse!
interested, can see this, I am sure your good
sense will on reflection realize you must take
some man like Gratz Brown, or Trumbull, or
Gen. Cox, late Secretary of the Interior, and
thus help to pacify and re-unite our country
anew.
War roa Grant’s Kx-xleotioh.—All our sd-
vioes from Washington and elsewhere lead to
the conviction that as a last desperate means of
re-electing Grant, his managers contemplate
bringing on a war with Spain, with Cnba for
its pretext. They care no more about Caban
freedom now than at any time these three
years; bnt a foreign war will, they think, make
Grant's re-nommatian and re-election certain.
Bnt it ie not war that Cuba sake of ns; all that
