TIIK I.EGISI.ATUKB.
Before this article is generally read
the Legislature will have adjourned.
They have been in session over a
month and the question is generally
asked What have they done?” They
have certainly done one thing. They
have disappointed the expectations of
the people. Besides providing for the
election of a Governor, very little of
public importance has yet been done.
In a fit of patriotism they voted
themselves six dollars a day, but after
a night’s reflection they concluded
their services were worth more, and
raised it to seven. On this subject
they and their constituents will prob
ably differ. The pay of themselves
ought not to be left to themselves but
should fie fixed by the Constitution.—
In the days of the Republic some ot
the States were represented by patri
otic citizens who charged nothing but
their necessary expenses for their ser
vices, arid these States were blessed
with the wisest legislation. Recent
events have shown tfiat it is not wise
to leave the pay of the Legislature in
their own hands. That and the num
her of clerks in both Houses should be
fixed by the Constitution, so that the
members would know before they are
elected what pay they are to have. We
believe if the pay of the members was
restricted to their necessary expenses
the country would he better served and
the session much shorter. No man
who goes to the Legislature to make
money is fit to represent any coustitu
ency.
Will the Democratic Party Com
mit Suicide ?—Some of those men who
liuve heretofore acted with the Demo
cracy have become impatient with be
ing so long in a minority, and are pro
posing that the Democracy should dis
band, or retire from the contest, and
let the Radicals run the country to de
struction as soon as they please. Others
propose to give up the name and form
a new party with the anti-Grant Radi
cals. Both of these classes are selfish,
and are willing to sacrifice the Demo
cratic party to obtain office. Neither
of there are Democrats from principle,
but only from expediency. Those men
who act alcne from principle will nev
er consent to give up Democratic prin
ciples or the Democratic organization,
for they know that upon them rest the
hopes of the country. Rather let the
Democracy re assert their honest, nev
er-dying principles, and cordially in
vite all the honest men of every party
to join them and assist m putting
down corruption and tyranny, and
raising from the dust honesty and con
stitutional liberty ; anJ if God, in His
providence intends that a free Repub
lic shall exist in these United States,
we shall ultimately succeed. But if it is
decreed that American freedom shall
perish, let the world know that the
Democratic Party is innocent.
THE COHI’OBATIO\ of xii.i.edre.
VII.I.K
We learn there are two bills before
the Legislature for altering and amend
ing the act of incorporation for Mil-
ledgevi'le. One of these bills was sent
on by the late Mayor and a portion of
the Council—the other was drawn up
and sent on hv Judge Iverson L. Harris.
So far as we have been able to learn
we believe a large por;jou of the tax
payers of our city prefer the latter
There are some changes in both bills
which our citizen* desire, but that pro
vision in the first hiil which empowers
the Mayor and Council to tax our cit
izens to any extent they see proper, is
very generally condemned. We be
lieve a very large majority of the citi
zens of Milledgeville will he satisfied
with Judge Harris’ bill, and we hope
the Senate wifi pass it.
State Road Trials.—Yesterdav the
case of James Mullins was cubed, but
the trial postponed on account of the
dangerous illness of his wile. The
case of W. D. L. Miller was called,
but postponed on account of the sick
ness ol ins mother, whose recovery is
said to he (10111111111. Tiie case of N.
P. Hotchkiss was called, but he was
not ready tor tria—alleging the ah
st-nce ot important witnesses, viz: —
Foster Blodgett, and his sou E. F. ;
Jos. Fry. an l Mr. Alexander. The
case of E. F. Blodgett was called, but
he failed to answer, and Ins bail was
forfeited.
These things present strange
thoughts to the mind, and bring up
strange reflections. Jos. Fry has for
feited Ins bond, and is gone. We had
a report that, he was arrested in Mas
sachusetts some days ago. Why lias
he not been brought back here ? Whv
have Ed. Blodgett and Mr. Alexander
left their bondsmen to Toot the bills ?
Why is Foster Blodgett gone just now?
Ishe in Washington, or with Builock?

copyright.” Mr. Appleton had been sojourning tor
some time on the continent; and on reaching England
he found in the Ixmdou Times of Oct. 14th, severe
strictures on American obstinacy in refusing to estab
lish International copyright laws with the British Em
pire.
In reply, published in the London Times of Oct. 20
in the lorui of a very able letter of Mr. Appleton, tin
American side of the question is presented in a
masterly manner. Mr Appleton shows 1 That ht
already pays to English authors who enter into an--
gagemerts with him for republication in America of
their works the tame pro rata divition of profit ae
he pays to American authors—Wine making as lair an
" international copyright” as all the statutes and trea
ties in Christendom could make: And 2. That at
tempts to make treaties heretofore have failed, not
because Americans were uuwiliing to protect foreign
authors, but because the English have demanded that
English manufactured books by English authors
should be protected: ia other words, the “protection”
hitharto demanded has been that of book manufac
turers rather than that of the honest brain-workers,
the intellectual toilers who have written the books.
In this Mr. Appleton and America a e right. The
English author ought to have, and be has now, the
world wide market for the tale of bis intellectual la
bor. Messrs. Appleton, Osgood ,V Co. and others ol
our great publishers in ti e United States have long
been in the habit of entering into contracts with wor
thy author* abroad for publishing their works; and
Mr. Appleton asserts that such authors are put on pre
cisely the same footing as American writers
Mr. Appleton maintaius that an International copy
right law ought to protect authors not publishers. The
author's interests are antagonistic to the publishers’,
in one sense: the author wishes as many and as diver
sified editions of his works brought into market as
there may b« a demand for, provided he hat hit copy
right on all. The publisher, if lie has ti e exctusier
copy-right, wishes to put the work into that precise
'ortn by which he (the publisher) can make the largest
sale# and greatest profits lor himself. Let as have as
Mr. Appleton suggests, English books for which the
authors receive American pay, but let our American
publishers have free competition with English pub
lishers.

Payment for Slaves.—Singular
matter* sometime* turn up in legisla

no exception. Some day6 ago a Radi
cal Senator introduced a resolution
claiming that the Federal government
should pay the Southern people the
value of their emancipated slaves. It
was referred to a committee, who re
ported on Friday that all agitation of
the question was pernicious and should
not be countenanced. The report came
up for action, when the Democrats vo

five Radicals, including the three negro
member*, voted in opposition.
More Land.—It is said that the
Northern railroads which have already

MODES.
Medieval and Modern Dress.
BY MARY E. TUCKER.
That Fancy is Fashion in cosmo-
po’itar New York must be admitted.
We have here some five or six mod-
istes whose designs are accepted as en
regie, and four Palaces of Fashions ;—
each having an acknowledged style of
its own importation or conception.
The leading style is a most difficult
problem for the feminine mind to
solve, for every house declares its im
portations to be the most desirable,
and every designer is confident that hia
novelties will be by far the most pop
ular of the season.
Tha true aitist designs the garment
for the wearer, and never attempts to
impose upon the credulity of a custo
mer, by forcing a tall, slender lady, t«
appear in a garment suitable for a
short, etout madam.
Toensurea most stylish costume, w«
know of no better method, than to re
fer to some mediaeval history, and se
lect therefrom the complete toilette of
one of the giand dames, which, with
a few modifications and improvements,
will make a most elegant and fashion
able outfit for the present day.
In the arrangement ol the hair, too,
we scarcely differ from our ancient
friends. One writer says : “The hair
must of force be curled, frissed asd our Cltuen8
crimped, l°.id out in wreathes and bor

iu a French twist, at the back of the
head, surrounded by, first a coil, and
then heavy braids of hair. The front

forehead. The front hair should be!
frizzed or curled. On the right side
are two long curls, one failing over
the shoulder ou the bock, the other in
front.
For street costumes, the most beau
tiful dresses are made up in a simple
style of jupon and polonaise. Theju-
pon is always more or less trirtimed
with flounces, folds, plaitings atrd
bands. The polonaise, ou the contra
ry, is no longer trimmed with fancy
hand-made trimmings of ruffles, puffs,
plaitings, &c. Heavy fringes, headed
with gimps and passementeries for aH
rich and silken fabrics, have taken the
place of all those troublesome garni-j

Two hundred Chinamen in the em
ploy of Capt. Ilervey, at Belleville
New Jersey, have just buritd one of
their number, Mr. Z u Sing, late of
Canton, and an interesting description
of the funeral is given by the New
York Herald. Zin Sing was only twen
ty years of age. He was beloved by
his countrymen, and great efforts were
made to make his obsequies imposing.
The body was dressed in Sunday at
tire, consisting o! a now Nanking suit,
and placed in an elegant walnut coffin
which was immediately seaiod. At
o’clock iu the afternoon the coffin was
placed on a wagon (a hearse being oh
jected to) and a long procession fol
lowed. First came one hundred and
fifiy Chinamen, dressed iu their nation
a) costume, walking silently two by
two; after them foliowad the women
employed in the laundry, then Capuin
Hervcy, his family, and the reporter*
in carriages. The cortege moved on
until a neatly inclosed plot wss reach
ed. Here the mourners formed a circle
around the grave, for, according to the
Chinese rites, two cavities a larger
and a smaller one, had been dug. Four
Chinamen then gernly removed the
coffin and placed it be,t«v?en the two
graves. Mr. S. P. Dally, a Methodist
clergyman, then offered prayer, which
was intelligible, however, to but a
small portion of those present. The
coffin was then lowered in the larger
grave and immediately covered up
with earth. In the smaller grave, a
hole about two teet in diameter and as
n at y deep, was placed a teapot, a rice
pan, chopsticks and clothing of the
deceased. On top of all this was placed
a large earthen vessel, containing a
cooked chicken, rice aod salted fish —
All this was then covered up with dirt.
The next ceremoney was the placing
of a basket containing the clothes the
deceased had worn on the day of his
death on the grave, and fire was ap
plied to it until it was entirely con
sumed. A number of firecrackers were
then exploded over the grave, after
w-hich each mourner in turn approach
ed the resting place of his comrade, and
interlacing his fingers, placed his hands
on the torehe d with the palms turned
outward, and threw them forward
thrice, accompanying the movement
each time writh a low bow. This end
ed the ceremony, and each mourner
was presented with a small bouquet of
flowers.
here to a heading of these hand-made
trimmings, placed above the fringes.
The fringes themselves, as well as th«
gimps and passementeries, are fre
quently heavily seeded with small cut
jet beads.
Cut jet is introduced into a variety
ol trimmings this winter. On hata
and boanets it is found amid the hand
some laces and feathers, with which
they are trimmed, and jet ornaments
for the hair, and jet earrings and
brooches are more popular than ever.
Fur trimmings will be extensively
used this winter, as the season advan
ces. A great variety will be in vogue,
but the silver fox will be the fur of the
exclusive and the millionaire. It is
very nostly, but is undoubtedly the
most beautiful and elegant of all furs.
One of the most exqusite pattern
costumes exhibited at a leading-house
this winter, is of black velvet, trimmed
with bands of silver fox fur. It is a
carriage dress, composed of a jupon,
aud apron-fronted polonaise, with a
postillion back and Louis XIV front.
Guipure lace of the richest, description,
headed with bauds of silver fox, forms
the stylish garnitures. A velvet muff
trimmed with the iur, and a boa of the
same, accompanies the suit. The
whole is valued at S?0(J. The muff
and bsa, sold separately, would cost
$S5.
Some most exquisite evening dress-
have been recently completed—a por

flounces, which were finished at the
side* with elaborate fringed bows of
velvet - In front was a deep flounce,
edged above aud below with a ruffle
of velvet. A simulated apron front,
formed ef a ruffle and bands of velvet
with full fringed bows. The deep
sash ends aud loops formed the tunic
hi the back. Pompadour waist, rich
ly garuitured witn round point lace,
and velvet. Flowers for tiie hair and
corsage, pale blush roses, with sprays
of buds aud leaves.
Auother very pretty dress was of
white tarlataue, en train, with three
narrow flounces in the skirt, beaded
by deep plaited frills of the tarlataoe
and biack illusion. The tunic was
trimmed to correspond, and looped
with exquisite roses and buds.
The cloaks okthe season consist of
doable circulars, or sacques and circu
lars of cloth or cashmere, richly em
broidered in arabesque designs in ori
ental colors, or trimmed with fringes,
laces, and passementeries.
Velvet polonaises will be adopted
leter in the season. ISome are trim
med with cables ol heavy silken cord,
extending from the right shoulder
down the back, and fastening in loop*
in the center of the waist. The cord
around the edge of the garment, and
also in the sleeves, is the only trim-
rniug on this simple and elegant gar
ment.
Among the novelties of the season
vre find some newly imported robes-
de-thambre—the real India goods, man
ufactured of pure si * k de chine, rich
India silk, satin, &c., and elaborately
embroidered in Chinese designs, with
silk, gold, and silver. These elegant
goods, from China and Japan, will
prove most beautiful and appropriate
presents from a wife to a husoaud, or
a busbaod to a wife—for they are for
both gentlemen and ladies—in the
fast-approaching Christmas.
We also find some most beautiful
handkerchiefs of the India siik, and
most exquisite piano-covers with me
dallion center, haudsomely embroider
ed, in oriental designs, with wbite
floss.
The hate and bonnets of the period
have a decidedly upward tendency,
not only in price, but in appearauce,
The government troops are deserting
to Diaz. Congress has grauted ample
means to Juarez to put down I he re
bellion. Several generals and colonels
have joined Diaz. The revolt extends
from San Luis to the Rio Grande.—
Puebla is also in revolt.
The report that the revolutionists
hover about the capital of Vera Cruz
is doubtful. Mejia, Secretary of War,
commands an army in the field against
Diaz.
Cuban affairs are attracting much
attention. Many sensational dispatch
es upon the recent disturbances at Ha
vana are looked upon as merely of a lo
cal character, and as significant of the
assumed importance of the volunteers
against the Spanish authorities.
Proposed Solution of the Mor
mon Question.—A Wosiungton dis
patch says : The programme for the
solution of the Mormon difficulties has
been partially agreed upon, and it is
believed that it will finally be adopted
by the Mormon leaders. As soon as
Congress meets a bill will be introduc
ed to enable the people of Utah to
form a State Constitution and apply
for admission into the United Slates.
The Territory has already the requir
ed population. When a State gov
ernment is formed polygamy can be
abolished in the legal constitution by
statute after a day, to he named, pro
vided that the present wives and chil
dren of the Mormons are recognized as
legal, so that bastardy and adultery
shall not he assumed to exist, and the
line of inheritance to real and personal
property be stricken down. This pol
icy, it is declared, will virtually do
away with polygamy, and at the same
time protect the rights of innocent
persons.
Different modes of expression—
Gil** Jenkins says “The profusion and
color of his Amelia’s hair would lead
one to look upon it as though it was
spun by the nimble fingers of the easy-
hour* as they glide through bright
disapproval of her sister’s sentiments
and was extravagantly’ applauded.
A Glorious Young Woman.—If
long hair be the glory of woman, then
there is a giorious young lady in Bos
ton. She was persuaded the other day
to give a private exhibition of her beau
tiful head of long and heavy black
hair. Her height is five feet three in
ches, and when she is standing erect
liei hair falls to her feet, and trails a
quater of a yard on the floor. It is
7-5 inches in length. Here is indeed a
favored young person ! No need has
she of a chignon, nor of braids,
nor of fronts, nor of tricopher-
ous compounds ; and Eve herselt, the
primal and perfect woman nobly plan
ned, had probably no greater wealth
of tangled charms. Discarding all
moral principle, wo are tempted to
lapse into the meanest kind ot a pun,
and to pronounce this Boston beauty
the greatest hairess in America.

The Hainan Body, Its Waste ami Repair.
The body is undergoing continual waste, both
in tiie voluntary processes of labor and action gen
erally (mental as well as physical) and also in the
involuntary processes (respiration for example.)
This waste o ust be repaired by the blood, as it
continually circulates and comes into contact with
the various portions of the system ; aud tho losses
of the blood must tie supplied from food. As tbe
material of the body is derived from tbe snhstance
ot the looj, so all vital power is derived from force
stored up in the food. Food is organic matter in
a state of molecular tension : and w beD, in diges
tiou. it becomes decomposed, this tension is given
ut in the form of physical forces, such as muscu
lar p w<.r, animal heat slid the like Every thought
’hat we thiuk, every breath that we draw, every
slightest motion or gesture that we make, wears
away the organized tissues to some extent In a
healthy condition this waste piojuces a propor
tionate degree of appetite and ot digestive vigor
But in imperfect health it is nut so. Either the
appetite is deficient or the forces of tiie digestive
organs are not adequate to convert into nutritions
blood that amount of food which the appetite
craves*. Now Dr. Fisch's Bitter- is a tonic and
stimulant adapted by its ingredients to create an
agreeable appetite, on. also in lift, degree tostinr-
u.at ■ the digestive powers. When this much is
accomplished, aud the system one# put. in the way
ot appropriating nourishment for itself, we may
look upon the curs as already effected. Tima and
careful living will do tbe rest. 19 eowlni.
