Thk Sojth Carolina Debt.—The Charleston News and Courier proposes to fund the <ltl or ante-war debt of South Carolina at par—a eecend class debt having some claim to legality at 75 cents in the dolh or and disown all the remain der, which would reduoe the aggregate Stats debt and accrued interest to $9,112- 304. ‘It stands at present, $15,750,727. The resolution of Prince Bismarck to summon tho Catholic bishops who refuse to comply with the government measures to tender their resignations, will greatly tend to intluno tho war between his gov ernment and tho Pope. It shows an in flexible purpose on tho port of Bismarck to carry out his measures with all ncoes- tf&ry severity, regardless of possible con- enoee. icqu A Wobl» Washington correspondent says that a New England Senator has prepared a bill to introduce as soon as Congress neots, to abolish tho national banking sjutem and redeem its notes l»j issuing legnl tenders from tho Treasury. Such a mensure has been presented in several preceding sessions, but has never been formally acted on by a committee, or seriously discussed by either house. Fair Receipts.—According to Moore’s Rural New Yorker, the cash receipts of the late Slate Pair of tho State of Now York, at .Ubany, were forty thousand dollars. The receipts of tho Georgia State Fair at Macon last week were, we understam, about twenty-five thousand. Comparing the population and wealth of the two so-called "Empire States,” Geor gia has made for the bettor showing. Sal* of Iron Lands.—Tho Knoxville Press and Herald learns from a citizen of Chattanooga that a few days ago a party -of English gentlemen, representing groat wealth, purchased from Col.

It is the intention of tho pur- i'Iumts to proceed to the development of the iron wealth of their purchase. *WniTTML"—Your communication is declined.

Now that thi.a grand exposition of the divers resources of Georgia has dosed, after attracting vast cr ^ and evoking *n exhibition without a parallel in mag nitude and intercut at the South, it is moit proper to aooord to its master its and assistants, that praise which pre-eminently their doe. It is well known that the conduct and management of the Fair, were turned dver to the city under certain stipulations and conditions. From that moment Mayor Huff, with characteristic energy and in dustry, ha* devoted his whole soul to the undertaking. The beautiful improve ments and additions to the buildings on the grounds, which experience dem onstrated were indispensable, are his. Numerous special premiums were ap pended to the list also at his suggestion. No expense, no amount of labor did this indefatigable public servant spare in the premises. He was emphatically ubiqui tous; to-day here, to-morrow at Louis ville, Nashville, New York, Columbus* Savannah, and everywhere else, where interest could W excited in behalf of the exposition, and contributions elicited to add to its grandeur. So, also, te Capt.Thad. Holt, Mr. John ston, Secretary of the State Agricultural Association, and several of our own pri vate citizens, among whom may be men tioned Capt. Fort and Mr. Dunlap, the success of the Fair is in no little degree owing. Mr. Dunlap is the originator of that unique cottage which was so hand somely fitted up and furnished, with terial and articles of Bibb county manu facture-carpets, chairs, bedsteads, bod ing, sheets, coverlets, curtains, tables, grates, stoves, mats, ornaments and even the substantia] iron railing which sur rounded this little elfin abode, were the handiwork of the artisans and ladies of Bibb. Mr. Fort, too, has given all the ener gies of an active mind and great expert enoe in agricultural matters, to the exhi bition. No man worked harder or accom plished more. Wo could instance Mr. Peters, Col. Lewis, Mr. Wrigley, the in ambers of the executive commiteee, and scores of others also, to say nothing of the glorious ladies, who did excellent service in the work of preparation. But where each official did his duty so nobly, wo cannot and ought not to particularize. During the Fair, too, the all essential Car rington, Mr. J. Henley Smith, of Atlanta, and the large staff of clerks and supervisors who did duty in the business department at the gates, showed themselves efficient and courteous to all. Nor were the police wanting in vigilance, as is evinced by the perfect order which prevailed. For once, under the active operations of our worthy street contractor, Mr. S. I. G tin, and*he master builders in charge, the Fair opened with everything in per fect readiness. The grounds were beau tifully graded and industriously watered to keep down the dust, all rubbish hod disappeared, the race track was in splen did condition, and paint-brush, whitewash and broom, hod united to impart beauty, brightness and cleanliness to the whole scene. The most hypercritical visitor could find no just room for complaint, and so, day by day the exhibition grew, until it culminated in the mighty suc cess which has been witnessed by thou sands, and duly chronicled. Of the incidents and personnel of the Fair wo may continue to speak. TILE GEORGIA PRESS. Two Macon, letters feu are held for Jenkins, i the Sa- BT- TELEGRAPH. LIFE. DAY DISPATCHES. Lost Week’s Cotton . Figures. According to the New York Chronicle the cotton receipts for the seven days ending lost Friday night, 31st October, were 108,039 bales against 100,452 boles last week, 78,756 boles the previous week and 45,746 bales three weeks since, mak ing tho total receipts since the first of September, 1873, 470,078 bales against 616,989 bales for the same period of 1872, showing a decrease since September, 1873. of 176*911 bales. The receipts of the interior ports for the wune time were 34,032 bales against. 43,522 last year. Shipments 27,354 against 33,909 last year. Stocks 55,669 against -43,397.

The average of the mercury was 48 at Mem phis, 53 at Savannah, 58 at Columbus, 59 at Mobile, 58 at Montgomery and 62 at Galveston. Stoppage op the Cotton Mills.—In long article on this subject the Chron icle looks for a speedy resumption of or dinary activity in the Am eric in mills. Since 1857 these mills have taken no notes for their goods, bnt considered all cash soles. They were entered on the books for liquidation in the course of thirty days. The mills held no accumu lation of debits. The panic, however checked their receipts on September sales and the reuniting suspension of work was simply a precautionary and temporary measure. There is no accumulation of goods, and demand must soon revive. The banks ore rapidly gaining strength, and there are the best of reasons for viewing the general mercantile and man ufacturing relations with hope and con fidence, rather than with despondency.

The State Fair.—We spent only Saturday in Macon. We have only praise to give to the general agement, anil the skill, enterprise sad pluck which governed the en terprise. The Fair grounds without doubt are the most beautiful we have ever seen, and we have been so fortunate to have been present at the leading exhibitions of States, North, South, East and West. The exhibition was a grand one with the exception of machinery. This department proved a failure. The live stock was worthy of Georgia—of the noble Empire State. Her county exhibi tion* alone constituted a good Fair. The Wmm the We have all the State Fairs. No Other city would exhibit the pluck of her Mayor and Council. In the face of a great financial pressure, they had the nerve to be firm and unswerving and the consequence is we have witnessed the really greatest ex position ever seen in Georgia.—Sun. The Chronicle and Sentinel is adver tising for “the gentleman who dropped his slung-shot in the Opera House Ar cade” the other night. We find these additional items in the same paper: A Singular Fact. -For several days past Mr. John P. Foster noticed that one of his best cows " ” quantity of On inquiry into informed that a fine setter pup, which he owned, was in the habit of sucking the Mr. Foster at first disbelieved the story, but after investigation became sat isfied of its truth. The young canine was caught in the act last Saturday. It was as quietly taking its breakfast as if the cow was its own mother. Annual Renting op Market Stalls. The annual renting of the stalls at the market house took place yesterday. There are in all twenty-two stalls renting on on average for one hundred and eighty dollars per annum. * The highest rents for two hundred and thirty-four dollars. The market pays an income to the city of about three thousand dollars clear of all expenses. The roof of the residence of Major Geo. T. Barnes, of Augusta, was badly damaged by fire and water on Monday morning. The house and furniture were both insured. Tn* Griffin Star says the Grangers* Convention in this city was quite an im portant oune—from which we infer that the editor of tho Star must either have dipped in somehow, or is a member of the order. He also says that the Gran gera declined to select a newspaper organ, which action blasts the hopes of two or three "live” papers that have been claim- ing the honor. The Savannah Cadets had a grand re ception on their arrival home from the Fair on Monday morning. They were received at the depot by the First Geor gia Regiment and a salute of thirteen guns by the Chatham Artillery. After which there was the usual con- The World on the New York Electio&s Hie World has a flag at the head its columns.

New York-A Field YIew. The Times says: "Taking a general view of affairs, we cannot congratulate the Republican* of New York upon the result of yesterday. The Republicans cannot elect their ticket without voting for it, and next year we may have good nominations without delusive Democratic alliances.” The Tribune says the State Senate man - stands fifteen Republicans, fifteen oppo sition." and two doubtful, and the Assem bly seventy-two Republicans to fifty-six Democrats.

Tena i, an ordinary looking woman about fifty year* of age, f WJU formerly member of a Methodiat Tlic Knoxville Railway Strike. The Press and Herald, of Tuesday morning, says that no solution of the question at issue between the employes of the E. T. & Virginia and E. T. & Geor gia roads and those companies had been reached. The strikers graciously permit trains to be run, (it would be serious business stopping tno mails;) bnt they forcibly resist the running of freight trains. Not a freight train had been moved, and even the unloading of freight cars full of freight for Nashville was pro hibited to the great damage of the mer cantile interests of that city. This unlawful action is charged by the Union committee directing operations to be done without their authority, and by men acting on their own responsibility alone. The stoppage of freight train, had thrown a hoary btuineae on the hands of the Express Company, a* expres* mat ter war allowed to be shipped without in- erruptiou. The strikers held a meeting on Monday night and heard speeches from the Mayor and Baxter, tht* attorney of the read, but the situation remained unchanged. The gtrikers said they were willing to accept reduced boars from the road*, but would take no reduction in their wage* per hour. Baxter warned them that a freight train would be sent out in the morning, and if it was interfered with there would be trouble. The telegrams yesterday gave no information of the threatened at- j the gratulatory addresses, winding up that night with the most interesting feature of the occasion: A huge bowl of O. A. P. A young lady of Rome is credited by the Commercial with the remark of a young gentleman "to whom she had just been introduced, that he would be very presentable if the Lord hadn't turned up so much of his legs to make feet of.” The passenger train from Macon to Atlanta, last Monday night, was delayed by an accident that happened about fif teen miles above this city. A torn up rail threw the rear trucks of the baggage car off the track, and frightened some of the passengers so badly that one of them jumped out of the window. The dam aged car was left at Forsyth. On account of the strike by the em ployes of the East Tennessee railroad, the Western and Atlantic railway has ceased sell tickets or to receive freight to go over that rood. We dip these items from the Savannah New# of Tuesday: Heavy Dra*t op Water.—The Brit- ip Tiber, with the largi l cot ton cargo ever taken from this port by steamer, amounting to 4467 bales upland cotton, steamed down the river from her both yesterday, and passed safely over the wrecks, the shallowest part of the river, drawing eighteen feet of water. Savannah as a Cotton Port—Heavy Receipts op the Staple.—The reoeipt* of cotton at this port yesterday amounted to 8,445 bales, of which 5,578 bale* were received by the Central railroad, making the heaviest day’s cotton receipts ever brought over the Central, and also the largest amount of cotton received at this port in any one day by upward# of a thou sand bales. The same paper is of opinion that the rente agents and postmasters in Georgia judging from the regularity with which the mails come to hand, are still in at tendance on the State Fair. At the Fulton county sheriff’s sales on Tuesday 101J acres of land two miles from West End were sold for $750, and a lot fifty-two by two hundred feet on Cal houn street, Atlanta, for $200. We find the following in the Columbus Sun, of Tuesday: A Box Accidently Kills Himself.— On Friday afternoon, on the plantation of Captain David Cody, in Chattahoochee comity, a little boy, son of a Mr. Willi*, wai killed by the accidental discharge of his own gun. His age was about twelve years. He was hunting rabbits, and had wounded one which be was running to secure, when he fell and a load of the weapon was discharged and passed through his heart, instantly ViHiwg him.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES. Message of President MncMakon. Paris, November 5.—The National As- ■mbly met to-day at Versailles. Presi dent MacMahon sent a message to the Assembly, which was read shortly after the reopening. The message begins with congratulations on the liberation of the French territory from the German- occupancy, and the maintenance of order, and continues as follows: "Europe is assured that we are firmly resolved to preserve peace. Therefore, without fear, she sees us resume possession of our territory. The administration has aiways acted in that conservative spirit which animates the great body of tbe Assembly, and from which I will never depart. The agitation of the public mind redoubled in intensity as the period of your reassembling approached, because it was requisite to discuss consti tutional bills which necessarily involve the question of firm government. I had neither to intervene in these dissensions nor to forestall your sovereign decision, but merely to confine the former within their legal limits, and to provide that the lat ter should be respected. Your power, therefore, is intact—nothing can impede its exercise. Perhaps, however, you may think that in the present situation, with party feeling so strong, the establishment of any definite form of government presents serious difficulties, and that would be more prudent to retain the tho existing institutions. If so, permit me, elected to an honor which I did not seek, to tell you frankly my opinion: To completely insure the public peace the government absolutely lacks two essen tial conditions of efficiency—it has nei ther sufficient vitality, nor sufficient ithority. It can do nothing dura ble if the rights of Government are daily questioned. With its powers lia ble to be changed any moment, it may secure peace for to-day, but no safety for to-morrow. * Great' undertakings are impossible. Industry languishing; we ore unable to restore that confidence abroad which is necessary to a restoration of our greatness. The Government lacks au thority; for it is unable even to obtain obedience from its own agents, or to re press excesses of journals which are cor rupting the public mind.
