On of the moat remarkable signs of the times
—for Msataobaaetta—Is to see one of its most
gifted orators oome ont in opposition to prohibl

Faorua Deosnsus Aveunl—We advise a cor

said, has taken to “lager beer,” to look sharp.
Coe step only is wanting toaomethiDRqtronger,

MosToaosp Senator..—The developments of
the peat f»w weeks have satisfied the country
that many Senators and Representatives in
Congress take tlielr seats under heavy mort
gages. Here <« Harlan und r a $10,000
mortgage to Dorset, Tuayer of Nevada had a
mortgage ou when be circled the Senate, Sar
gent of California i. believtd to be mortgaged,
and several others. Same of these have served
th*ir terms paid off their obligations with votes,
and gone on:; and other, are still in Congress,
and many ar. in donbt. What Congress shonld
do, the New York Son thinks, is t j appoint a
standing committee of eaoh Henre to examine
tbs titles of all new members taking their seats.
It wonld be possible then to know who these
man belonged to and what to expeet of them ;
and if tbsre are any nnemeambered, let them
be pat in a list by themselves.
A Habd Case.—Messrs. Bocghton, Nisbet,
Barnet A Moore, Isle of the Federal Union, are
pressing the payment of a claim for Legislative
printing done in 1865. This olaim oonrists of a
balance due them, emonnting in current fanda
to abont eight thousand dollars. This balanoo
had, aooordlng to their showing, been nominally
satisfied in btate Treasury notes smonnting to
$35,000, which they had been advised to re
ceive, and did reoeive, after the Confederacy
had gone np, as a sort of acknowledgment of
debt, bat which were worthless at the time.
This is ooe of the hard oases gro wing ont of that
eaforoed repudiation. At the time they re
ceived this money it was the best currency
going, and although few believed it wonld ever
be redeemed to the fall f aoe, yet nobody dreamed
the State wonld ever be compelled to repndiate
It utterly. Tnonsands of Georgians, inolnding
orphans and minors, were ntterly victimized by
this enforced repudiation. We should be glad
If tha Legislators coaid see their way to relieve
the loaa and hardship of onr brethren.
Extorting Other* to England—For several
yean past (cays the World) there has been a
great loarelly of oysters in England, the oonse-
qnenoe being that those who indulged in this
laxary had to pay almost fancy prices for the
beat quality. Many of the beds at the month of
the Unmber and the well-known Cleethorpe
oyster-beds have given ont, and it has been
suggested that they be refilled with American
oyster* for breeding purpose*. During the pas!
month nearly 5,000,000 of oyster* have been
sent to Eoglaad for this purpore by Mr. Bichard
Applegard, to a fishmonger at Grimsby, in Eng
land, who his deoidod to try the experiment of
breading oysters in these beds. On Thursday
last 1700 barrels were dispatched by the steam
ship Silesia, which contained 2,000,000 of oys
ters, and farther consignments will follow.
When they arrive in England they will be
dropped at the month of the River Humber and
lh* bed* at Cleethorpe, Lincolnshire.
Alter the expenses of transportation are de
frayed these oysters are sold in England at a
profit of $1 50 "per hundred in addition to the
price, paid here, and therefore there ia little
difficulty in complying with the English orders.
Hexlocx Sweats » Mxsisornj.—The Free
port (liL) Bulletin of a late date publishes the
following letter written by a gentleman in
Michigan to a friend in Freeport:
I only write to tell you whst will save every
case of “cerebro-spinal meningetis.” It ia
the same epidemio that raged in this State in
tils Winters of 1817 and ’43, which broke np
our Legislature, and which carried to the grave
every one it touched until the old-fashioned
hemlock sweats were adopted, after which every
case was saved.
Onr people sent abont twenty-five miles and
procured homlock boughs, and they sent for it
itorn all parts of tho State. There was a com
pany here that was called the “ Hook and Lad
der company," ih»t for weeks did nothing
u'g'at and day bnt go from house to house giving
hemlotk sweats, and it saved every case. Thor
ough sweating might do, but there is no mis
take abont hemlock sweats being a specific.
How They Keep the Peace In Europe
^h® following “facts and figures” will show
that it ia a dangerous thing for a European na-
tion to break the peace: The Russian army,
exclusive of garrisons, reserves, and the Cos-
sasks employed in Asia, consists of 1,362,464
men, with 324,760 horses, and 2.084 guns. The
Gorman army has 1,052,506 men, with 239,314
horses, and 1.022 gnus, and these figures she
has arranged to increase at onoo, on need. The
Austrian army has 963,051 men, with 132.823
horses, and 1.424 guns. France has 505,537
men. with 113,339 horses, and 884 guns j Italy
has 501 977 men, with 43 472 horees. and 720
guns : Eoglan^haa 470,779 men, 33,642 horses,
and 336 guns. Belgium, Holland, Denmark,
Torkey aud Spain have together 981,464
men, with 129,304 hones, and 1,532 {guns.
Here, tben, ie a total of over five and
and a half millions of men, over one million
horse* and over nine thousand cannons, with
all the vast oonoomitants of camps, garrisons,
supplies, clotting, food, ammnnition, wages,
and ao on, kept op perpetually, in order that
“ peace ” may be maintained. This estimate
doos not represent the lately increased organ!-
zttion of France, which is based on 1,300,000
men and 2,400 guns. Beside all there laud
forces, we must reckon np tbe naval establish
ments of these and other nations of Europe, in
order to appreciate the enormous expenses to
which, in onr boasted age of enlightenment and
civilization, Christian nations pat themselves
and each other, In order to be ready to batter
their neighbors, or to keep them from being
battered.
Booh fs the coat cf mere dynastio or national
ambition to Europe alone. It is oasy to see
that were these families or nations content with
their own, the diabandment of these vast armies
and armaments wonld fill their storehouses with
plenty and their coffers with almost illimitable
wealth, so that want wonld be unknown to their
people 7 So tree U is that wrong and sin are
synonymous with coffering, privation and pov
erty—are in fact the only sonroes, direct and
indirect, of want and woe to mankind.
It is not enrpriaing that tbe ab9olnte folly of
each monstrous provisions as these to defend
there people against each other's thefts and vio
lences, at tbe cost of universal poverty, shonld
have called into existence a class cf political
enthusiasts who, charging the abourdity to the
ocoonnt of monarchies! end aristocratic govern
ment, should insist that were tbe power In tbe
hands of the people, they would prefer ju-tice
and eqnity to wrong and violense at the cost of
common Buffering.
Bat the experience of the world does not war
rant anch an assumption with any degree of
confidence. If we say to-day that German am
bition has dad Europe in the Iron harness of
in we notsay with equal plausibility that
French democracy eighty years ago threw tbe
same oontinent into oonvnhdons of military
atrife 7 And did not we, on this American con
tinent—far Temoved from all traditional and
hereditary causes of qnarrel—did not tee plnoge
Into internecine war rather than maintain the
prinoipIe3 of justice and fraternal equity 7 Did
not wo overwhelm onrselves with poverty and
misery by onr comm.n violence, injustice, im
patience and intolerance 7
Looking at onr civil atrife independently of
all its partisan aspects—as one grand and sln-
pendonsly deplorable event in hnman history-
wborein, by a needless war, a people out of
debt mortgaged their labor for generations-
covered their soil with the monuments of rapine
and rain—filled it with tbe graves of valned
dead—saorifloed tbe principles and usages of
free government—poisoned its sources so as to
make recovery very doubtful. If not impossible
—what people, einoe the world began, oan pre
sent a more melanoholy reoord of useless sur
render to paaaion and Injostloe—a more shame-
fa! ease of ftlo de se than we ourselves 7
We are In no condition, therefore, to throw
Btonee at others. Tbe only nse we can make of
onr observation and onr sad experience under
this head is a humiliating one—bat it should
also bo improving. Let every man remember
that everywhere—at all times, and under all
elrcnmstanees—equally in his private, social
and political relations, wrong-doing, injustice,
and violenoe are the most expensive and most
fruitful of misery of all possible recourses.
These, and these alone, distress sooiety and
rein Suites and peoples, while, if it were possi
ble to abolish them, the whole world wonld
apotheosis* almost in a moment into a condi
tion of nnivereal peace, plenty and happiness.
Tlio Cry la Stilt They Come.
A constant succession of invalids from nil
parts of tbe country, afflicted with diseases of
the most inveterate and dangerous character,
oontinna to pour into the rooms of Dr. Jones,
Brown’s Hotel, in this oily. Not a day elapses
that some grateful sufferer is not relieved, and
goes on his way rejoicing. List evening two
gentlemen from Montezuma called at this offlee,
whose namos were G. O. P. Swearingen and Da
vid T. Forehand. The eyes of the latter had
been so badly crossed for thirty-four yean that
they wqro turned completely in under the bridge
the nose, almost destroying bia vision. Ac
companied by the friend above mentioned, they
songht the Dootor, whose fame is spread
throughout the country, and after undergoing a
very delioate operation of not more than five
minute*’ duration, at his hands, both eyes were
psrfeetly atra’ghteneJ, and now present as nat
ural an appearance as those of any other per
son. The poor fellow was load in the praises
his skillful benefactor, and his wife will
hardly reoognize him when he reaches home.
Dr. Jones is rapidly earning an enviable re
putation for himself in this State, and many
unite in the wish that be coaid be prevailed
upon to protract his visit to our oity. This, we
fear, however, will be impossible, as his de
parture is announced for the 10th of February.
Again we would nrgo all who need his services,
■ nse all practicable a peed ia hastening to the
dootor'e quarters at the Brown House.

George Alfred Townsend, who, under the
name of “Gath,” does the Washington corres
pondence part of the Chicago Tribune—one of
the keenest eyed and most graphio of all that
tribe, too—rends the following pictures of two
of Massachusetts* political jewels, taken at a
recent sitting of the Credit Mobilier committee:
Oakes Ames is a very large man, of the type
of a Yorkshire manufacturer—gnarled, specta
cled, with gfcat, bent shoulders, a slow walk,
and prodigious limbs and feet. He will proba
bly weigh 280 pounds, and be looks to be six
feet two or three. He has strong, coarse,
brownish hair, and bristly beard aronnd the long
siernwheeled abaft of his jawa. His forehead
is low, and tho nose teems to be half the face.
Tbe eyes behind the spectaeles are small, and
of a stow, aearohing look. Ames came to Con
gress with the Bool of a commercial traveler,
and, if expelled from it, wonld feel no particu
lar inconvenience or loss of self-esteem. The
shovel which his trip-hammer beats into shape
is scarcely hirder, and, as the man grows old,
he rests, but is too ragged to decay. Ames
made small bones of telling the most of what
he remembered abont Congressmen, and bnt for
Alley, be wonld probably have remembered con
siderably more.
Alley sat by his side all the while, lifting or
lowering his brows suggestively, as Ames help
lessly looked aronnd at him for counsel. He is
IS years tho jnnior of Ames, who is cesrly 70
years of age. Alley was a shoemaker In boy-
bood, and he is now the proprietor of tbe best
house in Lynn. He is proud of his money, and
holds to it with tho desperation of a cannibal
husbanding his last corpse. He is a short, de
mure, white-headed man. and has an endless
tongas, which testifies all manner of hearsay,
and oovers time and space, to the exclusion cf
information, and to the prejudice of more mod
est and less donblfal evidence. Alley has en
ormously prefitted by Ames’ contracts, and ho
appears in Ames’ letters as the incorrigible op
ponent to every dividend to outsiders. He was
the chief adviser to Ames’ oonrse toward Mc-
Cornb, and he is really on the spot at present os
the principal and counsel of Ames.
Ezitblisiied —The article on the 'Western
and Atlantio Railroad, and the remarks epon
the bereavement of Bev. Dr. McIntosh, which
appeared in yesterday's paper, contained eev-
’eral very serious typographical errors, and we
therefore reproduce them to-day, that our
friends may not think ns wholly demented.
Sad.—Sinse Oakes Ames determined to tell
no more lies, the Washington Chronicle says
“soiled reputations are lying all about the Capi
tal building." What, la there never to be an
end of this lying 7
THE REPUDIATED BONDS.
Important Proposition.
We learn from Atlanta that Thomas L. Snead,
Erq , of New York city, agent and representa
tive of all the holders of the illegal bonds issued
under Bollock, has made a rery import int pro
position to Gov. Smith. It is, in brief, to sur
render all—the entire number—of these bonds
back to tbe State for cancellation on the condi
tion that the Slate shall refund to the holders
tbe actual cash investment made thereon, (say
in round numbers $1,300,000,) to be paid to
them in other bonds of the State bearing Beven
per cent, interest, and to be received at the
rate of ninety cents in the dollar. They also
propose, ehonld tbe State agree to this arrange
ment, to loan her snch farther amonnt as her
present necessities may demand, not exceeding
a million dollars, upon her bonds at the same
valuation. It ia known that the State will have
abont $700,000 principal and interest of her
pnblio debt to meet this year, and the Governor
is naturally unwilling to increase the tax to an
extent necessary to meet this amount, at such a
time as the present
The proposition has been very earnestly con
sidered by tbe Governor, and we learn that he
songht the advies and counsel of several emi
nent and patriotio Georgians npan it Among
others, ex Gov. Jcnkimi and Gen. Toombs have
been oonsolted, and we are informed they are
strongly inclined to accept Mr. Snead’s proposi
tion. Gov. Smith, it is also stated, is very fa
vorably disposed to it, and will, in a short time
if he has not a'ready done so, cammnnioate this
overture to the General Assembly with a recom
mendation to aecspt it.
It Is one of those cases, perhtps, In which
sound economy suggests some snch compro
mise, even at same pecaniary loss to tbe State.
It is trae these bonds are not Iegaf or binding,
in onr judgment; bnt they have been issued
by a State Government of Georgia—they bear
the indicia cf genuine obligations, and go long
as they are ont w.ll seriously prejudice the credit
and good name of the Slate in the opinion of a
largo part of the ontslde financial world. If,
therefore, we can retire them upon a moderate
expenditure which will not be seriously felt by
tbe State, and in a manner which concedes their
irregularity by tbe bolder* themselves, it be
comes an important question, whether it is not
tbe part of wisdom and a round public economy
to do so. /
We shall await developments on this sn’-j-et^
with much interest and anxiety. It wil 1 hi-»o«n
the'acceptance of this proposition wil! a 1
raise the credit of the State to the neighborhood
of par.
Wiirfu Fires and well Ventilated
Rooms.
The importance of proper attention to the
hearing of school-rooms and adequate ventila
tion, withont subjecting the pupils to injarions
draught?, cannot be over-estimated. Children
in this country are usually very thinly clad, ths
girls wearing distressingly short dresses and
tbe little boys knee-breeches and open shirt
fronts. Forced to ait for hours thus attired in
cheerless school-rooms, barren cf every comfort
and poorly heated, it is not surprising that
colds, scarlet fever, meningetis, and a long train
of other diseases so often occar. Trustees and
teachers shonld see to it that tbe nnmber of
stoves or fire-plaoes are sufficient and an ample
supply of the best fuel on hand. Fires shonld
be started at least one hour before the opening
of tbe school, and kept np all day. Broken
panes of glass, also, ehonld be looked titer, and
every precaution taken to prevent exposure to
the little ones, who, tor tbe time, are deprived
of tho tender care of their parents. These re
marks are pecnliarly adapted to the present
cold and inclement season, and we trust every
teacher in tbe eity will give heed to them.
napoleon aud SenariL
Apropos of the death of the ex-Emperor of
the French, the Bulletin of San FranKsoo prints
a onrions story of some correspondence between
the late Secretary Seward and Napoleon. The
editor of tbe Bulletin, who was a personal
friend of Mr. Seward, says that at a privaio
dinner parly in San Francisco Mr. Seward re
lated the following incident:
It was,” said Mr. Seward, “ in tho darkest
days of tbe Rebellion. Disaster upon disaster
had befallen tbo Union armies. Treason was
aotive and bold fronted at Washington, in the
North and in the West. Rebel emissaries end
their allios were plotting against na over tbe
Canadian border. Our foreign relations were
most oriticsL Rebel cruisers were beiog fitted
out in British ports and set to prey npon onr
commerce; Germtny was coldly neutral; the
smaller European States wore indifferent speo
tators of the ooefliet; Russia was the only
friend we bad among the powers of tbs earth.
In this desperate emergency I received an auto
graph letter from the Emperor of the French.
It was marked ‘ private and confidential.’ It
began with expression* of personal regard for
myself, and pain at tbe spectaole of the great
Espnblio in the throes of dissolution. ‘Per
sonally.’ said Napoleon, ‘Ioonld wish the cause
of the Union to succeed. Bat the welfare of
Franoe and the force of popular opinion are
paramonnt to individnal sympathies. Oar
commercial interests are seriously suffering
from the prolongation of yonr war. Aly anb-
eots appeal to me to arrest the bloody coulliot.
must obey tbe voice of Franoe at whatever
oosL Yon cannot put down the Rebellion;
embrace the earliest opportunity to make terms
with the South. If you fall to do tbia, I shall
feol compelled, in the interest of my country—
in the interest of civilization—to intervene with
all the power at my command.’ ”
“I answered Napoleon’s insnlting letter im
mediately. I did not waste words in compli
ments. I said: ‘This is a family qnarrel. We
propose to settle it in onr own way and in onr
own time. We do not wish tbe assistance of
outsiders; we will not brook interference. The
American Union is to be preserved. It shall
be preserved if it takes 20 years to do it The
war is hardly commenced yet; the people are
jnst beginning to warm to the work. We wish
to bo on good terms with onr neighbors—we
wish especially to be on good terms with France,
onr ancient frieud and ally. Bat yon mnst
keep bands off. If yon presume to interfere,
we will show yon what a free people battling for
national existence are capable of. Hitherto we
have conducted the war humanely, in accord
ance with the codes that gsvern the most Chris
tian States. Interference on your part wonld
be tho signal for a war of conquest and
destruction. We will tree tbe negroeS; we
will pnt arms in their bauds, and send them
forth to ravage and plunder. We will moke
the South a waste and a desolation. Raise ahand
against us, and horrors worse than those of San
to Domingo will be seen from one end of the
South to the other. The letter was sent by the
first steamer. The same day I telegraRbed to
Thurlow Weed, Archbishop Hughes, and Bishop
Simpson to meet me at the Astor House the
morning following. That evening I left for New
York and explained to these eminent gentlemen
the object of the conference and the new dan
ger that threatened the Union canse. I told
them that they mnst at onee go to Europe, to
labor unofficially with the Government and
ruling classes in England and on the Continent,
to represent the wickedness, danger, and folly
of foreign interference. In lest than a week
they were on their journey, reached Europe at
a most opportune moment—(Mason and Slidell
had just been seized—England was in a white
heat of rage)—and did much toward convincing
Europe that the proper thing and the only thing
to do was to leave ns alone. -And the mission
cost the Government less than $7,000.”
OUR ATLANTA LETTER.
Correspondence Telegraph A Messenger.
Atlanta, January 28, 1873.
THE BICEST APPOEtTHZSTS.
The appointments of the several gentlemen
to the Judgeship cf the Saperior Court, with
one cr two exception", have given very general
satisfaction among the Senators and Represen
tatives. It is stated that all three of the ap
pointments of Judges yesterday met with active
opposition in the Senate, that of Mr. Barnard
Hill meeting with more general approval.
Both: Messrs. Hall and Bartlett met with
3erions opposition, though they were both con
firmed by'large majorities. The appointment
of Mr. John L Hall to tbe Judgeship of the
Fiint Circuit created general surprise, even
among the mo3t intimate associates of the Gov
ernor, and this nomination created considerable
discussion ; it, with one or two other nomina
tions occupying the Senato in executive session
fer one and three-quarter beers.
STATE GEOLOGIST.
The bill introduced by Mr. Clark yesterday
providing for the appointment of a State Ge
ologist, is considered an impoitant one.
authorizes the appointment of a State Geolo
gist at a salary of $2,000, with two assistants
at salaries of $1,200 each, whose duty, in com
pany with a seleot corps, it shall be to make
geological and mineralegioal survey cf the eu
tire State, and to prepare a chart of the same.
This mersnre, adopted in Pennsylvania many
years ago, it is claimed, is the great secret of
the unprecedented prosperity of that State; and
it is hoped the bill will meet with favorable
consideration.
THE MACON BANE AND TRUST COMPACT.
The following are the corporators of the Ma
con Bank and Trast Company, as mentioned in
the bill presented by Mr. Bacon yesterday
Messrs. O. M. Wiley, R. H. Blunders. L. W.
Basdal, F. M. Heath, W. G. Lord, G. Nuss-
banm, and Geo. W. Barr. The capital stock is
fixed at $50,060 with the privilege to increase
to $500,003.
JUDGE LCCHRANE.
Judge O. A. Loehrane, attorney for foreign
holders of the so called repudiated bonds reached
the city from Washington yesterday. The ex
citement of elections having subsided, be will
doubtless commence work in behalf of the poor
innocent unsuspecting financiers on the Rhine
and elsewhere, who have been so sadly duped
by that saintly individnal, the prince of sharp
ers, Henry Clews.
RAILROAD TICKETS.
Season tickets were distributed to the mem
bers to-day on tbe Macon and Western, Central
and Southwestern railroads.
BILLS ON THIRD READING.

tional to the length of that part of the fine in
cluded in this State.
To amend section 2259 cf the Cade. Passed.
To organize a County Court for Putnam
county. Passed by substitute.

payment diacretinary with the grand jury.
Mr. Cason moved to amend so as to moke the
bill applicable to tho Brunswick Circuit. The
bill as amended was passed.
THE ALARM ABOUT THE CAPITOL BUILDING.
The report that tho capitol building was in
an nnssfo condition, oooaaioned some days ago
the appointment of a committee to examine
into the condition of the building. The com

The following memorial, together with the
documents named therein, was submitted to
tbe Legislature to-dsy, in the Senate by Judge
Arnow, and in the House by Mr. Peabody, the
respective chairmen of the Committees on Ed
ucation in the Senate and the House:
Jo iht Honorable Senators and Representatives
of the General Assembly of Georgia, met at
Atlanta
The undersigned, yonr petitioners, respect
fully present to your honorable body the en
closed article, signed “Georgia,” from the Au
gusta Constitutionalist, the writer of which is
Rev. J. O. A. Clarke, one of yonr memorialists,
and an artiole from the Augusta Constitutional
ist, entitled “Franklin College,” written by its
editor, Colonel James Gardner, both articles
proposing a plan for affiliating the University
of Georgia and the colleges under one compre
hensive and all-embracing plan, putting an end
to the conflict existing between the University
and tbe colleges, and harmonizing the educa
tional interest of Georgia.
The details of the plan presented being sim
ply tbe suggestions cf one mind, it is not asked
by yonr petitioners that the plan, with all its
details, be adopted, bnt that a commission
be appointed by ths General Assembly, or by
tbe Governor, to consider the whole question at
some fatnro day—the General Assembly may
elect—and report the result to the next meeting
of tbe General Assembly, the commission con
sisting of Representatives from all the parties
interested.
Believing that this is a grave and important
question, and well worthy the consideration of
yonr honorable body, we respectfully submit
this petition, being authorized by his Excellen
cy J. M, Smith. Governor of Georgia, to say
that the general idea presented in the commu
nication of “Georgra” meets his hearty ap
proval, as well as the request herein made by
yonr petioners, ail of which Is respectfully sub
mitted.

Make No Long Ohattons.”—General Gor
don, United States Senator elect from Georgia,
(aava the Herald cf Saturday,) and Alexander
H. Stephens, who will, no doubt, be elected to
tho lower House—where he will be the oldest
member by many years—from the same State,
have been making long speeches. Tbe time for
long harangues about the South is over. Her
wants demand action, not words. When these
gentlemen get into Cob gross wo hope they will
address vhemselve to the work of recuperating
the energies of the Sonth and recall a quotation,
slightly altered, occasionally used by Daniel
Webster:—
’« *olW men cf Geortia, drink no streni rotation*.
' ie « >tid men of Georgia. mar e no lonr oration*.
Lay good old Tom Jefferson, State rights,
buncombe and all that sort of thing on the shelf
for a season, and see what can be done in a
practical way, under present political exigen
cies, to replace the Sonth in a position of infic-
euoe in the councils of the nation.

This plan was suggested many years ago by
Dr. A A Lipscomb, the venerable and able
Chancellor of the State University, R3 the only
scheme, except that of a munificent endow
ment, that would raise the University to an im
portance and a sphere of usefulness worthy of
the Empire State of the South.
Such a combination would suppress all en
vies and jealousies, dissipate all* divisions and
strife, and unite all the friends of education in
the State in one determined e flirt to raise the
glorious old University to that pinnacle of
lame which her many illustrious alumni have
foreshadowed for more than half a century.

Tlie Coal Supplies.
The opening of new avennes to inexhausti
ble coal regions is destined soon to reduce the
cost of fuel all over th6 country. In a short
time Richmond aud Norfolk will be shipping
coal at a cost ’on the cars of one dollar a ton
and railroad transportation of 343 miles. The
Richmond Dispatch says:
The people of Cincinnati are actively press
ing enterprises in the Ksnawha Talley. One
company is adventuring largely on the Oosl
Hivtr. It proposes a railroad fifteen miles long,
with brnches in the gorges of the bills ender-
laid by coal seams. The main line follows the
Coal River and and joins the Ksnawha at the
town known as Coaismcuth. There tbe road
strikes tbe Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad as well
as the Kanawha River, and tins the people of
Cincinnati will have communication with those
mines as well by water as rail. The projectors
of this enterprise think that with the road on Coal
liiver they can penetrate a coal countrycf 1,00 J
square miles, from which au unlimited supply
of cannel, splint, and bitumous coal can be ob
tained at half the price paid by Cincinnati last
| year for those coala.

Terrible Mortality at tbe Capitol—Lilt
tbe Distinguished Dead—Melting aud
Metrical Tributes to Their Memory—
“The Evil Men do Elves After Them
From the N6W York Herald of the 24 Ji inet.]
The terrible and widespread ravages of that
extraordinary disease called Credit Mobilier are
alarming the whole nation. Tbe epizootio was
as mild as the measles compared to it. It has
already carried off many most distinguished vic
tims. It did not come from Canada like the
epizootic, nor from Asia like the cholera, nor
from the 'West Indies like the yellow fever. It
is believed to have started somewhere in Penn
sylvania, and, meeting with a favorable condi
tion of the atmosphere in Washington, District
of Columbia, stayed there, and was developed-
by reason of the defective sanitary arrange
ments in the political system of the capital.
Great sympathy is felt for Massachusetts,
many of her distinguished citizens have been
swept off. The subjoined list of deaihs will be
read with painful interest by the pnblio. The
notices are inserted (contrary to our usual cus
tom) free of charge:
Ames, Hoax, of Massachusetts.—Died of
Credit Mobilier, (long and lingering illness,)
aged 69.
O lofty worth, whose virtues were unknown;
O shining light, whose glamor was unseen;
Whose latest spurn of godlike work has shown
What mre were not, but what they might have
been.
Thca coldet the truth, tho’ hid ’ueath many cloaks,
O concentrated essence of a Hoax.
AU stockholders of the Union Facifio Railroad
who received a higher dividend than 750 per
cent, are cordially invited to attend the funeral.
Massachusetts papers please copy.
Alley, John B., of Massachusetts, died of 0.
M. (not cholera morbus—was discovered with
the disease too late for the physio; aged about
a century.
O’er this sad wreck let mankind never daUy:
Fraud knocked down every ninepin in this Alley.
This is nobody’s funeral.
Allison, John B., of Iowa, died of O. M. (an
overdoso of dividend hastened his departure),
aged 50 years.
Long dead to ns, sweet Allison,
Tho Hoax then couldst not rally;
If so soon done, why wer’t begun,
Thoa fragrant eon of AUey 7
Remains will be embalmed,
Bingbam, John A, of Ohio, died of 0. M.
(supposed to have caught the fatal infection
from Dawes,) aged.62 years.
Moan for him, welkin, he’ll wake yon no more
Wilh shouts against theft. Buckeye Bingham

Ohio papers please copy.
Brooks, Jim, of New York, died of 0. M.
(protesting to the last that he was well in health,
no remedies were administered,) aged 62.
He chattered, chattered as he went
To Join tho groat 8alt River;
Hoax might threat or Hoax relent,
But he’d deny forever.
’Jlong well-filled “banks” his way he picked,
With watered “Credita,” ever
Uc'Jomb might "dam,” McComb convict,
Jim Brooks denied forevor.
His foneral will have no political significance.
Co’fax, SmUer, of Indiana, died of O. M. (the
agonies of this poor victim were intense; to the
last he insisted that it was something else be
sides Credit Mobilier), aged 42.
A beautiful trailer came in our midst,
Too lively and fair to remain:
They stretched him on racks till the soul of Colfax
Flapped up into heaven again.
May the fate of poor Schuyler warn men of asmiler
Who dividends get on tho brain!
Indiana papers please copy.
Dawes, Henry L., of Massachusetts, died of
C. M. (he had tho reputation of having a pow
erful constitution, but it was evidently a delu
sion), aged 57.
Retrencher! Leader! Thon bast left ns;
Plymouth Bock thy loss will feel;
For a pottage-mesa bereft us.
Old Honesty is ausgespielt.
Funeral striotly private. No wake.
Garfield, James A, of Ohio, died of O. M.
(struggled hard against the dreadful epidemio,
but it was no nse. He caved in unexpectedly),
aged only 42.
Here rests bis head upon its lap of earth,
A youth to fortune and misfortune known;
Mobilier frowned npon his humble berth,
And Hoax Ames henceforth mar. ed him for
his own.
Will be buried at Congressional Cemetery,
Washington, D. O. No cards.
Kelley, William D., of Pennsylvania, died of
O. M. (too much iron in his blood and too little
protection cf himself made him an easy victim
to the fell-destroyer), aged 60.
Weep not "pig iron,” public dear.
He is not dead, tbo* sleeping hero;
His thunder's hushed, hi* eye is dim,
Mobilier put a head on him.
His remains will be “ protected” in a metallic
casket. A one-horse funeral announced here
after.
Patterson, James W., of New Hampshire,
died of C. M. (his sufferings drew tears from
his friends; he persisted to the end in suppos
ing it was a different complaint), aged 50
years.
Peaceful be Uriah’s slumber,
Heep-ed he is in burial low;
Thirty shares bis coffin comber,
How it ia yourself yon know.
Mourning by Senators for thirty days. A granite
sarcophagne will enclose the mummy.
Scofield, Glenni W., of Pennsylvania, died
of O. M. (passed off qaietiy), aged 53.
Hoax Ames, tho Ancient Mariner,
Stopped Navy Scofield bland.
He held him with his glittering eye
And with his skinny hand.
Then Scofield did a hellish thing
And it did work him wo.
His ten shares clipped him on tho wing
And laid the Qaaser low.
Pennsylvania papers please copy. Funeral
an early day. Musio by the band: “Down

Wilson, Henry, of Massachusetts, died of 0.
M. (great bopeB were entertained of hia recov
ery.) aged 61.
Hia turnings sore long time he bore,
Lika martyr on a rock,
Till bad Hoax Ames, of sinful games,
Had eased him of his stock.
His "sole" had ne’er into the void been east
Had he "waxed” firm and stuck unto hia “last.”
Natick (Mass.) papers please copy. Memorial
services at Faneoil Hall. No irish need apply.
Wilson, James F.,of Iowa, died of O. M. (as
tonished everybody, he had hitherto enjoyed
snch excellent health,) aged 45.
Tears, idle tears! he knew not what they meant,
But counted them three dolors for a share;
They blotted out a life we thought well spent—
Ah! was his sweetness nothing but a snsre?
Rev. Dr. Newman will conduct the services

A Novel Marriage Bond.
Manchester, N. H., January 23.—A unit has
just been tried before the Supreme Judicial
Courtjof New Hampshire, in which Dr. Edward
SLiirp. of Philadelphia, was plaintiff, aud Reu
ben B. Hall, of Nashua, defendant. The
Doctor was married to Miss Hall, of Philadel-
>hia, in September, 1870, and Mr. and Mrs.
Jail, the parents of the bride, were present
at the ceremony, which took place at the resi
dence of Washington Baldwin, of Philadelphia.
Abont an hour before the marriage, Mr. Hall,
the father of the bride, signed a bond agreeing
to pay his daughter daring her life $1,200 an
nually, or the interest on $30,000. Mr. Hall,
nfter the marriage, refused to fulfill the condi
tions of the bond, and this suit was brought to
compel him to do so. The defendant claimed
that the bond was obtained by fraud. He tes
tified that on the morning of the marriage his
daughter told him that Dr. Sharp wonld not
marry her if a marriage gift of $20,000 was
not made to her, and that Eha wonld conse
quently be reined, as she was pregnant by
him. It turned out that there was no preg
nancy, and the defendant claimed that there
was a conspiracy on tho part of his daughter
and Dr. Sharp to rob him of a laj^e cum of
money. Mrs. Hall corroborated her husband's
testimony. Mrs. Sharp, the bride, denied the
statement of her father, and testified that ho
voluntarily signed the bond. Mr. Bladin, who
drew np the bond, testified to the eame effect.
The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff.
