The wont I .or wa: bright anil worm yiriiy—tl.o firet eLrar day for one woolc. At lu'r birth-day ball, recently, a Mor row beauty r.-quusteil the band to play a favorite air, and then wont to the balcony and phot herself dead, because herbe- trolhotl had pot very drunk and was cut ting up badly. Tn* wife of Andy McNeil, a colored man living near Memphis, Tenn., re cently left bin church and wont to another one, and, os he couldn't convert ht-r from tho error of her ways by any other method, ho just cut her in piecos, a few niiLts ago. IIo ia now hotly pursued by officers of the law. Sonic Manchester. Eng., manufactur ers of spool cotton wero recently arrested for marking tho number of yards on the spools twenty per cent, greater than tho length of the thread, but they entered as a pica in dcfcnco that the cotton was not manufactured for home consumption, but for a foreign market. Bo they were let off. — An amusing incident happened at Washington on Monday, in connection with a member of Congress who arrived by tliu Baltimore and 1’otomac railroad, with liis family, including tho baby. In the hurry of leaving tho ears tho baby was forgotten, and was not thought of until after the arrival at the hotel, wlioro tliero was considerable excitement, which was not quieted until the little one was discovered ensconced in tho sleeping car, where it had been left. . Tun Evens Republican claims that prul ably tho oldest church organ in thnt region is tho one in tho Episcopal Church at Clyde. It was originally imported from England by Trinity Church, Now York, and beforo coming to Clydo was used for Trinity Church, Geneva. Deep gutters nro worn into the key-ivories by Iho many fingers that have pressed them, and tha instrument nnf i.oah* other evidence of its age, hut it is still ono of good tono and volumo for its sire. A si Siiiti.au mishap—of course it could not possibly liavo been' intentional—has occurred in New York harbor. A coal largo laden with two hundred tons of coal bail tho misfortune to sink so near tho llood-gates of tho dock at tho Brooklyn Navy Yard, where the Arapiles is under going repairs, that she will not l*o able to get out until tho obstruction is removed. Strange to say, moreover, so urgent is tho stress of hands in the navy yard that none can bo spared at present to remove the olistruction. Legislation Needed. Georgia, like every other State of the Union, posies a great deni too many laws, nml changes them too frequently; but among them all none yet have subserved effectually those vital cndi—tho . eurity of person and property. As to the former the record of homicides for the year past has been a shame to the State. As to the latter, there's not a neighborhood in Georgia which does not daily groan over vexatious I03SC3 by theft of tlmt kind which rtrike, perhaps, the 11105), destruc tive blow to a strand industrial economy and condition. Plnnder from tho field, the crib, the gin-lion?c, tho stock-yard— petty pilfering everywhere sap the profits of industry and dampen the energies of the people. Tho wholo country is dotted over with pestilent little whi.-lry shops, which arc, to a great extent, reeepticles of stolen goods of all kinds—"fences," as Use cock neys call them, and potential agencies in tho work of public demoralization and disorder — encouraging idleness, theft, drunkenness and every crime in the more illiterate portionof onr population. The really vital necessities oi Georgia lie in devising more effectual remedies for those evils; but they seem to bo be neath the attention of our legislators, who cannot bring their minds down to such littlo things 03 tho security of onr daily meat and bread—tho protection of honest men in the fruits of their labor. But this is tho ABCof government—without which there is no government worth a straw, and without which no people can proiper. Now tho man or men who shall deviso a practical legislative remedy for these fundamental disorders will bo tho states man of the General Assembly. Aud by a practical remedy wc mean just what wo say. Not raw-liead and bloody bones legislation—not attempts to suppress these petty crimes by excessive penalties; but a sagacious, proetcaiblo scheme of de tecting and punishing theft—and of sup pressing those fence grog shops. Pennsylvania Constitutional Election. The vote of the people of Pennsylvania on the proposed new Constitution takes placo next Tuesday, the lfitli instant, and tho “Ring” say it will be defeated. They have procured an injunction from tho Supreme Court of the State, restrain ing the commissioners appointed by nn ordinance of tho new Constitution to su pervise tho election in Philadelphia, and havo put it in the hands of the Ring *ain. Under this arrangement it is supposed thnt the new Constitution will bo suffocated by fraudulent votes. A curious story couios across the ocean of a shapeless bundle of rags found re cently in a tree-top in tho South African colony of Natal It is said to l>e one of tho missing balloons which floated out of Paris during the siege with a freight of letters and dispatches—orders from tho Government of National Defence to its generals in the field, anil messages of love and cheer, of sorrow and complaint, from the suffering citizens to their friends outside. Natal is about fivo thousand miles distant from Paris, in a southerly direction. • Tux New York Herald publishes some brand new nows about Mr. Stephens. It says if he is offered a nomination for President in 1876. it will not bo tho first time a similar honor lias been tendered him, “and that, too, by a regular Demo cratic National Convention—a fact not generally known in onr political history.’ The fact is certainly not generally known in Georgia—at least we have failed to find anylxvly who over heard of it before. On second thought it occurs to us that it might have been the Douglas convention at Baltimore that extended the honor, hut that was hardly “a Democratic Na tional Convention” in the sense evidently meant by the Herald. It has become clear that England h in fi r a very serious war with the Aslum- ti es, and that this war cannot be carried on in tho manner supposed—by tbe em ployment of native troops—but that very considerable numbers of English soldiers must bo sent out to the Cape coast at once. The first dispatch frees the new English commander was oxpwted to ar rive in England about tbe lf*th of No- Yomber, and tho war department was pre paring to send the troops which this dis patch would demand without the least delay. Tho season fee active military operations in Africa opens with Decem ber, and tho campaigw, if it is to be suc cessful at all, should cwmamcc at that date. The Sai.xrt Law.—It is und erotsod that tho House committee on tht > salary question hare agreed oa a bill repealing tho salary law so far as it affects mem- bars of Congress, hut without any retro active features. This will leave in force the old law providing $WCO per annum and ten cents per mile aa mileage for the compensation. Tho question of the Pres ident’s salary was discussed, but nothing on tho subject is incorporated in the bill It is arranged that by consent of the committee Mr. Hale, of Maine, will offer a resolution providing for an amendment to tho constitution, providing that any increase of pay hereafter shall not be re troactive in its operation. The assent of the Senate to the bill is very doubtful Mr. Beek will offer his bill as an amend ment. if Mr. Blaine will give him the op portuuity to do so. Tlio New Salary Hill. Tho committee of tho House of Repre sentatives which was appointed to pre pare a bill to fix tho salaries of Congress men, had a meeting lira* a.*-—i— —f ..g>ccu to report tho bill introduced by Judge Niblack, of Indiana, with some trifling amendments. The couiuiittco added a provision making the repeal to apply also to the salaries of the Vice- President and Speaker. By a vote of four to threo tho committee refused to make the repeal apply to the President’s salary; by a voto of fivo to two tliey re fused to make tho repeal apply to Judges of the Supreme Court and employes of tho Senate and House, and a proposition to re duce the salaries of Cabinet officers was defeated by a vote of four to three, Vaccination.—-Wo learn that tho Board of School Commissioners yesterday passed resolutions requiring all pupils in tho public schools who have not been vacci nated recently to undergo tliat process The schools will be inspected by tho City Physician, and all needing it will be vac cinated by him, except those whose pa rents may prefer vaccination by the fam ily physician. This is only a very proper precaution. Wo do not apprehend tho spread ef small pox in Macon, but never rpoct to seo tho day when there will not be more or loss of it about, and it i3 fool ish in any body to neglect a measure of personal protection which all experience proves to bo efficacious in preventing the contagion altogether, or of so mitigating tho character of the diseaso as to make it loss dangerous than measles. Every man, woman and child in the city should, therefore, be vaccinated, if he has not been vaccinated within fivo or six years* BY TELEGRAPH. THE GEORGIA PRESS. Theee letters for Major R. W. Noland, Macon, are held for postage in the Savan nah post-office. Messrs. W. McRae A Co. have relin quished their lcoao of the street and su burban lines of the Savannah, Skidaway and Seaboard Railroad. They have been losing money for some time, the receipts falling far below the actual expenses. Their lease does not expire until Janu ary, 1877. The company will run these lines hereafter. Savannah cotton exports on Monday footed up seven thousand four hundred and twenty-one bales, valued at three hundred and eighty-nine thousand five hundred and thirteen dollars. Thb Monroe Advertiser reports last sale <lay in that county a lively one, and much property sold by the Sheriff at much better prices than the times warrant.

Mr. Price was afflicted with give them such ] i os are accorded privileges to the white race. They embrace the rights of admission into the public schools, theatres, hotels and on steam boats and railroad cars. It was a fallacy to say that the colored race ore slaves by instinct. They were free before they were seized by their former captors and traders, and a long series of years of bondage has not extinguished their love of freedom. He cited the successful rec ord of the race since their emancipation, and denied that it was dependent upon the Caucasian for sustaining its vigor of intellect, as is often asserted, and pointed out education as the way to have recog nition seek them, instead of begging for it.
