I'fwanns of eighty millions of pounds,
or 40,000 tons of grain, were delivered by
the Krie railroad at Jersey City during
the month of Decern I ver, 1873, being 112

month of 1H72.
Tit* rittshurgh Gazette s-iy. : "N.-arly
all the rolling mills in this city are in
operation, working double time. This is
one of the hopeful Bigns of returning
pro .pei ity.” Such evidences as this come
up fmui every portion of tho North.
Ir is stall'd tlmt the carriage shops in

UrtmtSH from all parts of the Qerman

Aeconnmo to advices from St. Peters

estimated to cost 300,000,000 roubles.
Civil. 1’iouts BILL.—Tho Springfield
Republican says tho latest rumor from
the House civil rights bill is, that, wdien
it returns from the committee, the words
"schools and colleges” will be conspicu
ous by their absence. It is safe to pre
dict that neither Mr. Sumner nor tho col-
ored politicians will stand that.
Wmrro the hut three days, says the
Advevtisor, five hundred negroes havo
left Montgomery county in search of more
comfortable homes nnd higher wages.
The effect of this heglra will be to put
white men to a little harder work and to
give homes and employment to those
who are really willing to till the soil.
PiNCHHiCK.—This ambitious politician

A;.:™laa M U.u iwIhcm tO go

says " tho President lias, however, evi
dently got enough of this kind of thing.
Ho informed Mr. Pinchbeck that it was
not for him to say who should be ad
mitted, but he thought it would be well
for tlio Senate to make the decision as
-oon as possible.”
Texas Trouble Over.
Yesterday, as we are rejoiced to see,
Goxttac: Davis, of T.-nu, backed down
from:iia high-handed •lsvrpatim, ail
the Democratic administration tot p., •
sesiiou of the publi • office?. It wj.i no
fault of Davis that he backed down. He
had importuned the Washington author
ities long an.l vainly to support the con
templated ci p d’etat, and wo can imag
ine his innocent astonishment when he
got “no” from them in the way of answer,
lie had the theory all fixed. It is true,
betkjnb’M united in fram.ng the law-
under which the election was held, and
Gov. Davis approved it. It is true, the
uneo.ittili'llonalif'j of the law, afterwards
discovered by the Texas Supreme Court,
was a ample deduction from the ballot-
box—but then it wa.-, law-law good
enough to justify such a course in Texas
as Grant had framed in Louisiana.
Davis was confident he understood
Grant and his Attorney General well
enough to know that all they wonted was
a plausible pretext, and no doubt that
would have been enough, if they had
considered it worth whilo to interfere.
Bat the game was not worth the nmrnn-
nition. There were no brothers-in-law
in Texas, and there were too many whiles
to justify the smallest hope that Federal
interference could save the State to tho
Radicals. Consequently Gov. Davis was
left unsupported after he and his Su
preme Court, in full confidence of svinpa-
pathy and aid from Grant, hod fixed up
a case calling for the practical suppres
sion of the electivo franchise and tho
maintenance of a so-called "republican
form of government” in defiance of the
popular will, by bayonets and Gatlin
guns.
But Grant was tired of the fun ho liad
in Louisiana. The bayonets and Gatlin
guns were not forthcoming, and the storm
of public indignation gathered black and
ominous round tho head of Governor
Davis. What could he do ? lie took np
his hat and left the capitol end left the
key in tho door and the seal and records
behind him. lie left his Supreme Court
too “in a suck”—for we will venture to
say tliat decision will dio out silently, the
victim of public contempt.
Wo aro glad Texas is at last out of the
wilderness, and doubt not an open, honest
and prosperous road is before her.
The AVork on our Streets—Mr,
Glut In.
It is fortunate indeed that cur City j
1 F.i*'~ . wo awarded the street contract i
to Mr. S. I. Gustin again for the pre.cnt I
i year. Proi ibly no citizen of the county
- i batter qualified for the position. Our
I contractor does net go blindly to work
with shovel and pick, but proceeds upon
I scientific principle?, calling into requisi
tion the spirit level and surveyor’s instru
ments, so that his work may be made per
manent.- The plan he has adopted is to
place in thorough fix all of our prominent
Streets, paying duo attention to grading
and drainage, and then pass as frequent
ly as possible over all portions of the city,
repairing bad place, filling the gullies,
otc.
If allowed to pursue this course for a
few years, the principal highways, like
Mulberry street, will be transformed into
smooth and durable drives, and cost but
littlo future labor or expense. Gradually
the same system will be extended also all
over the city.
In lieu of tho yielding soil of which
our streets are composed, Mr, Gustin carts
from a distance coarse gravel and small
stone boulders which are used to fill up
holes and low places, and forms a pave
ment almost equal to brick. Wo nctice
he is also covering some of the most im
portant crossings and sidewalks with the
same durable composite. Every foot
passenger will thank him for this.
Tho City Council of Atlanta recently
appointed a standing committee on the
State Fair, so it is probable thoy will
claim the Exhibition again under the
original agreement. Should this prove
to bo true, all tho long and dry days of
summer can bo devoted to street improve
ments. Last year, much of Mr. Gustin’s
time and labor were necessarily directed
| to the extensive excavations, grading and
cleaning up at Central City Park. No
such outlay will be needed tho present
year, and wo may confidently look for
great changes for the better in the steep
acclivities and furrowed hillsides of our
picturesque city.
Kei'Oris from New York City continuo
very favorable as regards the present
and prospective business in money,stocks
and goods. Not a few firms which wore
iu difficulty during the panic axe enabled
to pay off their back indebtedness much
earlier than creditors expected. Among
others it is nnnoiuiccd that Peake,
Opydyko A Co. are anticipating notes
which do not fall duo until March next.
In stocks the renewed upward move
ment must l>e accepted as the result of
natural causes—and, notably, tho increas
ing abundance of money.
Connecticut.—The last plank in tho
Connecticut prohibitionist platform runs
as follows: “It appearing from the politi-
cal calculations of the other parties in tho
State that the politicians are not yet
aware of the existence of the prohibition
party, or that a prohibition vote has yet
been cast, we here pledge ourselves to
give such support at the polls to the can
didate this day nominated, as shall en
lighten the profound ignorance, and add
a column to tho election returns, this
spring, which by its footing shall inform
these gentlemen of the existence of this
party. Mid that the time lias come to be
gin to count its vote.”
Turns has been at Memphis a largo
and important gathering of distinguished
divines and laymen, representing the
twelve Presbyterian Synods of the South
western States, to decide upon the loea-
tiou of the proposed Presbyterian Univer
sity. We notice among the names of the
delegates Rev. I>r. Palmer of New Or
leans ; Rev, Dr. Young, of Nashville;
Prof. Garland, of Mississippi; Mayor
Erwin, of Huntsville, Alabama; Dr.
Welsch, of Little Rock; and Dr. Stratton,
of Natchez. Various Southern cities—
Richmond, Ky., Clarksville, Nashville,
Huntsville and Memphis—offer each
strong inducements to secure the loca
tion.
A conaaspoNDCNT of the Jackson
(Miss.) News tells how Gen. Jackson got
his title of Old Hickory. Ho says he got
the story from Capt. William Allen, a
near neighbor of the General, and who
messed with him during the Creek war.
During the campaign the soldiers were
moving rapidly to surprise the Indians,
and were without tents. A cold March rain
came on. mingled with sleet, which lasted
for several days. Gen. Jackson got a
severe cold, but did not complain as he
tried to sleep in a muddy bottom among
his half-frozen soldiers. Capt. Allen and
his brother John cut down a stout hickory
tree, peeled off the bark, and made a cov
ering for the General, who was with diffi
culty persuaded to crawl into it. The
next morning a drunken citizen entered
the camp, and teeing the tent kicked it
over. As Jackson crawled from the ruins,
the toper cried, “Hello, Old Hickory!
come out of your bark, and jine us in a
drink.”
The Siamese Twins.
The death of tho Siamese- twins is
among the events recorded in tho telo-
grams of to-day, which occurred at their
residence in North Carolina last Satur
day morning. For many years tho rela
tive character and dependence of tho
dual or unitary existence which was
shared by this singular pair, has been a
matter of inquiry nnd speculation among
physiologists. Moro than twenty years
ago the question of disuniting them by
severing the cartilaginous ligament
which held them together between tho
hips and tho arm-pits, was a matter of
consideration among surgeons, hut most
of them predicted fatal results from such
a separation, or npprehended so much
danger 03 to recommend its postpone
ment to a crisis when it might be una
voidable, p.s in the case of the death of
one of the twins should tho other remain
alive.
It seems from the account to-day that
Chang had been paralytic sometime,
wliilo Eng continued in good health, and
that Chang died while Eng still remained
in health, but oxpired two hours subse
quently—moro (as it would appear from
tho telegram,) as the result of horror and
rngut Uuui iimjugn any sympathetic
effect arising from a common and insep
arable vitality. The narrative seems to
indicate that the twins might have been
separated when in health without fatal
results.
Speaker Bacon’s Address.
The opening remarks of Hoa. A. O'
Bacon upon the late ro-assembling of tho
Georgia Houao of Representatives, justly
call for moro than a passing notice from
the press. They wero dignified, concilia
tory, nnd at times glowingly eloquent.
Tho events of tho past year, and the pres
ent gloomy condition of tho people of our
noble commonwealth, arc graphically por
trayed, and the wisdom nnd enlightened
action of tho General Assembly invoked
in their behalf.
As a literary effort, Mr. Bacon’s speech
was almost faultless in style and the pur
ity of its Engli h. It did honor both to
his head and heart, and stomps him as
ono of tho most rising young men of the
State.
With the ripe financial knowledge of
Mr. Nutting, which has already ion-
tributed so much to redeem the credit of
tho State, and the sterling worth of our
country member and representative of
the farming interest, Mr. Lockett, Bibb
county may well be proud of her delega
tion in the Legislature.
Penn Mutual Lilc Insurance
Company.
We add this reliable Association also, to
our list of first-class Life Companies
which are represented in the columns
of the Tblvoxath and Messenger.
It is one of the oldest and most popular
of them all. From a table showing the
ratio of assets to liabilities, dividends to
premiums, expense to income, interest re
ceived to losses paid for cash, and rate of
interest received on average assets
for the year 1872 and for the past ten
years, on the reports of thirteen of the
best companies in the United States, tlio
Penn Mutual stands in tho very front
rank. Not one organization shows more
assets to liabilities, and in the ratio of
dividends to premiums for the past ten
years, it stands without a peer on the list.
Messrs. Conner Brothers are the Agents
of the Penn Mutual in Macon, and their
elaborate advertisement may be found
elsewhere. For them, and all the other
gentlemen who are engaged in the laud
able work of inducinghnsbands and fath
ers to provide in season for their helpless
families, we bespeak the patronage of an
enlightened community.
THE ICE CROP.
None Stored as yet by Any Company.
Tlio almost unparalleled delay in the
coming of cold weather renders the pros
pects of there being sufficient ice stored
for the uso of householders next summer
a subject of very general interest. So
mild a winter has not been known for
many years. The winter of 1870, during
which tho ico crop proved so small, was
colder and less open: tho Hudson river
at a time of the year corresponding with
tho present having floating ice in great
quantities in it, from which several ice
depots wore filled. This year, till the
j middle of last week, navigation was prac
ticable 100 miles up that river, and four
days ago not a particle of ice was formed
as far up .as Albany. Inquiries at the
offices of the principal ico companies,
elicited a great deal of information full
of interest to ice consumers.—N. Y. Tri
bune, lGf/i.
This is not very cheering news to South
ern ico consumers who are perhaps more
interested in it than any others in the
country. We hope tho remainder of this
month and February may be cold enough
to enable tho ico men to fill their cellars
and thus save us from the heavy tariff
that a short crop will inevitably entail.
Ice is so universally used now in this
climate as to be classed among the neces
saries of life, and high prices will result
in real inconvenience and suffering to
many who cannot afford to buy it at bigh
prices.
It is peculiarly unfortunate, too, with
such a contingency storing U3 in the face>
that tho ico factory here has stopped op
erations, and we trust that no moans will
bo left untried to reseno it from its em
barrassments and put it to work again.
Wo do not see how it is possiblo for tho
dealers in natural ice to sell it at tho
reasonable figures of last summer if tho
crop he exceptionably short, apd we can
not expect them to deliberately throw
away their money for the public benefit.
They must have’ their profit as wall as
other folks, and if tho crop is short, of
course they must raise tho prico to save
themselves. Therefore wo hopo that the
ico factory may resume operations, and
thus save both the natural ice dealers
from tho necessity of fixing their tariff
of charges at such figures as will shut out
the majority of consumers! or of selling
at such a prico as will entail loss.. Wo
want them to have their profit, but we
also, and still more earnestly desire that
consumers may have the benefit of com
petition.

A Ridiculous Custom that Ought to
be Stopped.—Under this head our friend
Sneed, of tho Atlanta Herald, makes the
following sensible remaks. We heartily
indorse them:
There is ono suggestion which wc wish,
with all duo respect, to make to tho
members of the present General Assem
bly. Of late years a custom has grown
np, in both houses, which is both silly
and far more honored in the breach than
in the observance. Wo allude to tho
practice of members whenever a friend,
or a man of some little note in his
county, visits tho Capitol, in moving a
resolution to offer him a seat on the floor. I should bo SOUt in oarly.
This courtesy is a very proper one in it- |
self when judiciously tendered. It was
originally intended as a compliment to
gentlemen occupying high public posi
tion or who had done distinguished ser
vice to the Stato or nation. As prac
ticed of late, however, it has lost it3 sig
nificance and value as a compliment, for
nobody esteems that which just anybody
can get. The existing abuse of tho cus
tom commenced with tho ascendancy of
tho Badical party, when every dirty
blackguard that came to Atlanta was
diibbed " Honorable,” and formally ten
dered the honors of the Legislature. Wo
regret to see that tho practice of confer
ring this distinction upon men, who,
however worthy as gentlemen, havo dono
nothing to deserve it, has survived tho
Radical party and is still in vogue, to tho
disgust of all sensible people. Fray, let
it be stopped, and at once.
Mr. W. P. Hammond, a well known At
lanta Justice of the Peace, died on Mon

Atlanta is making arrangements for
a grand boll and tournament at on early

commence making some arrangements to

hands of tho sheriff ?

nient channel for bringing their wishes

Running into Debt.—The supreme
folly of running into debt for our poster
ity to pay by honest liard work, may be
seen to good ad vantage in the financial
situation of tho city of New Tork. The
annual interest on the city debt is $9,120,-
513. The whole tax levy ii $38,740,010.
Th« aggregate city debt is about $135,-
000,000. The rate of taxation is about
>3 33 on the S100 of assessed valuation.
Southern Democracy and Southern
Radicalism.
Tho Charleston News and Courier makes
the following effective comparison:
“A great deal has been said about tho
relative economy with which Democratic
and Republican States in the South are
governed. In such questions general
statements carry with ’them but little
weight. Figures like those given in the
annual message of Governor Smith, of
Georgia, show best the difference between
honesty and rascality. Three lines are
enough:
Gcorsi.1. Soulli Car.
LarisWre oxix’nscs of 1S7S...?1U>.0.X) fi91,S39
Printing of l?73 20,000 450.000
State tax of 1S71 .41 mills 12 mills
The great Democratic State of Georgia,
with taxable property valued at $250,-
000,000, will only spend $2,722,850 this
year, which includes the sum of $S23,460
devoted to the payment of the public
debt and interest. Robber-ridden South
Carolina, with taxable property not worth
much more than $100,000,000, is taxed
this year to the amount of $3,000,000, of
which amount ?17G,93G is promised to he
paid out in interest, if the holders of State
bonds will consent to give np 50 per cent,
of the principal of their securities. The
bonds of Democratic Georgia were readily
negotiated last year at par. The bonds of
South Carolina, with three years overdue
interest on them, sell at ten cents on the
dollar. Again, it is said that a Demo
cratic State -will not educate the poor.
The State of Georgia appropriates $250,-
000 to the free schools, and pays the
money. This supports the schools for
three months. "Whatever else is required
must be, and is, raised by local taxation.
One more comparison between Democratic
honesty and Ring-rule extravagance and
rascality.’ The Geo.- gia University costs
$32,000 a year, and three hundred and
eighteen students matriculated in 1873.
It received $10,510 from tuition fees, and
$10,234 from interest on the Agricultural
Land Scrip fund. All that the State was
required to give was $3,000. The South
Carolina University has no students save
a few colored men, the Agricultural Land
Scrip has been sold, and not a dollar has
accrued therefrom to the State, and $50,-
000 are demanded for the support of the
University for the present year !”
As Massachusetts men have so fre
quently described tho women of Utah, it
may be interesting to know what a Utah
man thinks of tho'women of Massachu
setts. A Mormon says that tho women of
tho Bay Stato are of two classes. The
first are ihoso brought up and educated
to live without work—tho forward ones
who have nothing to do but to embellish
their persons. They aro generally as
beautiful as the houris, and as sweet as a
ripe peach. They are only a little lower
than the angels, but, unfortunately, they
are all married. The second class are tho
spinsters or factory girls. They are all
in single blessedness. They have dark
hair, a high and retiring forehead, sunk
en eyes, a small thunder cloud beneath
each lower eyelid, and a thin and pointed
nose. They are compelled to labor long
in badly-ventilated factories, with the
constant smell of rancid grease, and to
breatho unhealthy dust. Tho men are
described as a little shrewder and more
narrow-minded than those of tho "West.
