I Marbiaoe Statistjcs—Massachusetts has provided
bv law fora regular registration of births, deaths and
-'..imams and the results, embodying a mass of useful
and interesting information, are published annually.
An amhtffitic record of this character is very important
in a legal point of \ iew, furnishing, a* it does, evidence
of facts that are sometimes not ettsily established with
out it lu regard to the m-'triino ai branch of the re
gistrv we find the following statistics:
Tlie intiiilK-r of marriages in the State during the
1 it war was 11,;•<><} —the returns indicating a constant
increase frr • n year to year. The report states that the
! variations in the number of marriages in anv given
coimncrdry Pr a series of years maik the relative pros
perity of the people during that period. Thus any se
rious or extended calamity —as war, taurine, severe mor
tality, rise in provisio ts, or low wages—-invariab'y pro
duces a decrease of marriages; und their otqsisites—as
peace, plenty, general health, Ac., also progression in
-deutihe discoveries and inventions —have the etl’ect to
increase matrimonial alliances. In the re]>orts of the
Registrar-General of England, Major Graham most
dearly demonstrates “rlia! it is a fair deduction from
the facts that the marriage returns In England j-oiut out
period* of caiiouai prcsjierity little less distinctly than
the lituds measure| ; he hopes and fears of the money
i . ket. If the one is the barometer of credit, the other
Is the barometer of pr. sperity."—Dut iug a period of
over ten years next previous to the year! <)0, one-fourth
of the females married were under twenty years of age,
which number is tiftei n times greater than that of males
of the same age. In England only eight in the hun
dred of males, and thirteen in the hundred oi females,
marry during their minority. The annual marriages
during the ‘.ist three years, in the Commonwealth,
uere in the proportion of one to lev* of the inhabitants,
lu England, the annual average of marriages is one in
in France and Austria, it a* one in 1“-.; in Prussia,
one :a 110.
T'n - oldest jersou man ied during the year was a male
of seventy-two, uaitevl to a female un-ler thirty. Eight
females (if fourteen, and about forty of fifteen, have be
come wives. The youngest couple were each sixteen
tears of age. In Boston, one male of nineteen married
a female ot twenty-eight; and in Worcester, a iad of
•eventeen married a woman of thirty-eight. One man
of thirty-eight married for the fifth tune; and as high as
the sixth marriage is found on the record. In Boston,
- negro of Uftv-e'ght was married lor the sixth time,
s sixth wife f; Inga negt ess of forty-five, and this was
her third marl iage.
Cigarsi and Cognac.
The Treasury tables for the i-ast year will give us
some curious ands riking facts. \Ve aie very apt to
c ; -ider the gre.it grain-growing interest as one of par
amount importance in tins country, an<l no doubt very
many will be surprised to learn, as thev will by Mr.
Corwin’s figures, that we smoke up in Havana cigars
the whole export of wheat, and drink down in French
cognac, the entire exported’ Indian corn.
In the fiscal year, ending 3 ‘th June iast, the Uni
ted .'• ales exported wheat to the value of stl.-Vi-V-"!'.
During the same time we imported lotf.Mfe/' 4 *-’ f
cigars from Cuba, valued at an invoke cost of
and 14.',*i2V,'''0n valued at >".3">V -ts from
mher fKirts. Os the latter, two-thirds were recei
ved from the Hawse towns and 11-dland, whe:e a
large business is done in imitating the Havana cigar
wi:h American, or American and other tobacco mixed,
aaj packing them in boxes made of Cuban cedar for the
North European and American markets. Some idea
may be formed of the difference between the Havana ci
gar and the German from the average co-t as stated in
the custom returns. Those from Cuba ate returned as
costing §!•,33 a thousand, while the otli r kinds are
stated at s ~'l. Tli-e n a arcs demonstrate that nearly
one-half of the imported cigars retailed in this country
as ‘‘Havanas” are spurious.
To the estimate ot the cost of cigars smoked by our
population there are yet other items to be added. The
entire iuiiK.i tation during the last fiscal year is shown
to have b--en • !ty , <h ( < ■ costing, according to ac
tual eniri sat the (fust.un-house, s >,107. If to tli-s
w add per cent, for freight insurance and charges,
4‘ per cent, for the duties, W - b .ve a sum of c 4,
To this we may ugain add.y, per cent, at the
least as the importer's probable profits of jobber or se
cond dealer, and on this 2 1 ’ j>er cent, for retailors’ pro
lit*, and we have a u;n ot over #•>,<><*V>Ofi expenditure
Inr an article wholly and entirely a luxury, and which
a portion of our community eouaider as immoral, ]>e
nicious and unhealthy. Wlmt the consumption <>£
hoirit-omdo cigars is we have no statistics at hand to
ascertain.
The export of Indian corn during the same period
was valued at £l,o-fi\22'>. and of com meal £2,114,fe)5.
We have not at hand the table of imports of liquors,
but the returns el the New-York custom house state
that that city imported in ls ‘ 2 French cognac and other
brandies to the value of f! ,4.'4,'>•;•>. Allowing tlp .Vctv-
York figures to represent the sixty per cent, ot
it>q • .rts in the country, this would gtveai e-isl vanie
• t mnorted brati i . of ri'.l -f, 1 *sl. Wt into
the minute calculation* given above ou the cost ot c.-
2‘fs, we may safely atntonce that six millions of dollars
i -ire are ext ended in this country k r imported bnti:-
lo:‘. We are under the impeession that some bt a tidy
not inqantid is also consumed.
We do uoi consider it i.ete -ary to continue this pt
riilel turther. The facts girt-n above are sutficieudy
instructive. The New-York Times, in which wc find a
portion of the above statistics, says “ihat to run the
cimpaiison through the provision list, we should find

part of the town, they believe is as good, if not better,
than any other which can be obtained on or along the
present line of road, and some of the citizens having be
come impressed with the belief that this would be rite
permanent Depot, have bought lots adjacent thereto, at
prices advanced, in consequence of the supposed conti
guity of the property to the Depot, and they claim that
it w ould be doing them injustice and interfering injuri
ously with their vested rights, were the location chan
ged for another.
The Committee think, except in mere geographical
position to the present heavy business of the city, seve
ral other sites along the line of road are more eligible
and probably as central to the entire city, w hich can be
more safely and conveniently approached by passengers,
w hether on foot or in carriages, and on w hich such
buildings as would probably be erected, would be more
ornamental and show to better advantage, than at the
site in Mulberry street—among other*, one at and around
the intersection of Fine and Sixth streets, -as shown by
the sketch herewith submitted ) the Committee think
more desirable for the reasons just mentioned, on ac
count of its proximity to the Freight Depots of two of
the roads, and on account of there being larger and more
convenient space for the accommodation of Passengers,
while it is as central as the other.
On reference to the contract batwaen ti.- n..;i...n.i
Companies unit llie city, allowing tlieil 1 junction through
and within its limits, it will be tound that the contract
provides for “making at present a Passenger Depot at
the intersection of Mulberry and Sixth street, (near the
Court House square- and again with the further under
standing that the | ermanent Common Depot hereby al
lowed, w ben established, shall be located either on the
line of route herein pointed out, or w ithin such con
venient distance from said line of route and within the
limits of the city of Macon, as may hereafter be agreed
upon, by and between the parties to this contract.” So
tin- a- the Committee are informed, no other action has
been had in relation thereto, and however generally the
opinion may have obtained that the Depot would be in
Mulberry street, no such deduction can be drawn,
either from the contract itself, or anything since agreed
upon by and between the parties to that contract. The
Railroad Companies have informed the Committee, that
while they are entirely passive in the matter, they pre
er the .-si:e at the corner of Pine and Sixth streets, and
would adopt it w ith the assent of the city, and upon
which they would erect more spacious and convenient
accommodations for the public, than they could well do
iu Mulberry street.
While the Committee, in view of the premise*, be
lieve the site at the corner of Pine street more suitable
and eligible, still, recollecting its importance and the
great advantage in many respects one location may
have over another, and in which every individual in
the city is more or less interested, they recommend
that Council take no final action in the premises but
submit the matter to a vote of the citizens, and suggest
he following resolution, viz:
Resolved, That the citizens determine by a vote,
whether they prefer the Common Passenger Depot tin
lie Railroads to be at the intersection of'Sixlh and Mul
berry streets, or of Sixth and Pine street's.
Resolved, That the Treasurer and Marshal open a
>o!l on the l'.-th February, within the usual hours, at

aid they report the result to Council.

days, in seasons of very bad roads; but beyond these
changes, a proposal for service differing f oru that calhd
for bv the advertisement, will not be considered incom
pe'itiou with a regular bid reasonable in amount. Where
a bid contains any such alterations, their disadvantages
will be estimated in comparing it with other proposals.
13. There should be but one route bid for in a propo
sal.
14. The route, the service, the yearly pay, the name
and residence of the bidder, and those of each member
of a firm, where a company offers, should be distinctly
stated; also, the mode of conveyance, if a higher mode
than horseback lie intended.
15 The bid should be sent under seal, addressed ‘o
the Second Assistant Postmaster General, superscribed
“ Mail Proposals in the State of It should be
piumuitieil, and the sufficiency of the guarantors certs
-i see forms,) and should be dispatched in time to
be received by or before 9 A. M., ot the 4th of April,
1953.
16 The c< ntracta are to be executed and returned to
the Department by or befo s the Ist of July, 1953.
17. Under the act of March 3d, 1845, the routes are to
be let to the lowest bidder tendering sufficient guaran
ties, without other reference to the mode of transporta
tion than may be necessary for the due celerity, certain
ty, and security of such transportation. When the low
est bid proposes a mode of conveyance, inadequa'e to
the due celerity, certainty and security of the mails, it
will not be accepted.
18. When the bid does not specify a mode of convey
ance, also when it proposes to carry according to the ad
vertisement, but without such specification, it will be
considered as a proposal for horseback service.
19. A modification of a bid, in any of it* essential
terms, is tantamount to anew bid, and cannot be re
ceived so as to interfere with regular competition, after
the last hour set for receiving bids.
20 Postmasters are to be careful not to certify ihc
sufficiency of guarantors or sureties without knowing
that they arc persons of sufficient responsibilitv ; and
all bidders, guarantors and sureties are distinctly noti
fied that on a failure to enter into or perform the con
tracts for the service proposed fir in the accepted bids,
their legal liabilities will be enforced against them.
21. Contractors are required to take the mails from,
and deliver them into, the offices nt the ends of routes
and all intermediate offices; and on steamboat and rail
road lines into intermediate offices not more than eighty
rods from the landing or station.
22. Present contractors and person's known at the De
partment, must, equally with others, procure gurantors
and certificates of their sufficiency substantially in the
forms above prescribed. The certificates of sufficiency
must be signed by a Postmaster, or a Judge, or Clerk
of a Court of Record.
