GEORGIA I*KMMU A IILoonr Cbsistkas nr Cot-vkscs.—Two men were killed in Colnmbua on Monday night and a third mortaliy wounded. The Enquirer The first of these nnpleaeant affairs occurred between the boors of 10 and 11 o'clock. Mon day night, in which policeman Charlie Barrow, while in the discharge of bis official duties, re ceived bis death at the hands of George ioy- field, a young man who about a week slnee ar rived in the city from 8*.

The latter gave a signal and noon Policeman Barrow and his partner. Policeman McMieliael, arrived and . - .

Barrow fell was anon after conveyed to bis home in the lower part of the city, where be expired between two and three o'clock. lajfield es caped to Girard, where be was arrested at a late boor and brought back to the city and lodged in th<" guardhouse. .... Coroner Wood held an inquest over the body of policeman Barrow at the Court-house earJj yesterday morning, and wo learn that the jury, of which John Ligon was foreman, gave a ver dict lhat deceased came to bis death by a pistol in'the hands of George Lajfield. Tho second fatal ahootiog affair occurred at £Ua Lee's boose of iU-fsme on Oglethorpe street, between twelve and one o'clock Monday night, in which Alexander McDonald came to 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 ing, and if the negro legislators of South Ca rolina can hold their Governor by simply pass ing a bill, they ought to do it, by all means. SsvBBa.—Aoootding to the World, some part ner* in the house of Jay, Cooke A Co., Phila delphia, started a paper recommending Alexan der K. McClure for the nomination of State Senator in one of the Philadelphia Districts, whereupon Geo. Grant wrot* to the house to stop It or he would take sway all government business from the firm. Futmost, Movxxxina m Wastootosc.—'The Independent Republican members of Congress held a meeting at the Arlington House, in Washington a few days ago, and agreed to meet again after the holidays. The Democratic mem bers have wisely resolved to keep quiet. There will be no meeting in February aa reported.

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 lion the horoscope baa become moi e trouoiea sod involved, and the free of C* *»r is not 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 fall of Tweed in New York not only set train of reform running in a variety of direc tions but created a vent which let forth 4tl * in the hands of Milton Nxnao Swot.—The Enquirer learns tint an 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 recovery is con "ids red doubtful. Did not hear 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 a colored crowd in Savannah, at Middleton Hall, last Monday evening, but Alperoarer's race ia over. The “augeance” fired a pistol at him and attempted to mob him; wherefore Bradley had some of them np before the Mayor next mom. ing. Doubtful Couplizuebt.—Among the prizes awardod the members of the Savannah Club who participated in tho “ Fantastiques” last Monday, was one to 0. 0. raise, as the oom- pletest devil of tho occasion. Fuise should abandon practice in that line at once. The papers in all the Georgia cities tall of an unusual amount of pistoling among both whites and negroes on Christmas. The limes are tight, and the people teemed anxious to get ahesd of the times. The Rome Commercial, as we have been pre viously notified by Ibe wires, is exultant over the election of the people's ticket for Mayor and Aldermen. IL D. Cothran, Mayor; T. M. Gates, R. T. Hoyt, John W. Noble, W. T. Mapp, 0. G. Samuel and F. I. Stone, Aldermen. Total vote, 629, and majority about 130. Ticket un mistakably good. Negro vote divided. 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 iihm. Visible .Supply ol Cotton.

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 Chang,, the feeling was better.

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 age which had been exhibited on the floor _ the Senate, to the fortune* of a speculator and * Then^oame, and came too late, the whining 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. About the latof January the nnmberof work- men will bo mere .tsed t < 150, and the work so apportioned that the men in each gang will I w and does it silently. Experienced foremen Nf JtJVV closely watch the detail* of the work, promptly correct any error of the workmen. Ou iho wbarf are the storehouse*, engine rooms, car penter shop*, offices and clothing rooms. In 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 drawn from the tops of the derricks on the summit of tho Brookijn tower marks the hight of the proposed road ray. —Journal of Coo i- 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.
