DECEMBER 20. 1874. Mall Subscriptions to the Tcl- eirrapb and Messenger: On and after tbo first of January next, tbo new postage law will require prepay ment of postage on all newspapers sent through tbs mails by publishers to their subscribers, and such prepayment will therefore have to be made at the office of publication. Under this now law the postage on dailies win be about silty cents, and on weeklies about fifteen cents per year. "Wo will, therefore, prepay this postage after the first of January; but, to rc-em bursa onraolvee, will require, after that date, subscriptions to our different edi tions at the following rates: Daily, one year. $10 GO Daily, six months^ S 30 Daily, threo months. 2 65 Semi-weekly, ono year.. 4 30 Semi-weekly, six months 2 IS Weekly, ono year 3 15 Weekly, sir months 1 GO This is a decided reduction of rates, as will readily bo seen—upon the daily edi tion, alone, of Just sixty cents per year. The subscriber not only saves that amount, but avoids all bother about pos tage at the office where he receives his paper. If subscribers neglect or forget to forward postage with their subscription money, they will bo charged with the difference against tho time for which the subscription is sent. Parties whose subscription} arc now running, of course will have their post age prepaid after January tint until the orpiration of the time for which they have subscribed. Parties who subscribe between now and January first, will havo their postage prepaid after that date until their time expires. No subscriptions to the Weekly edition will be received for less than three months. East Macon Precinct. Macon, Ga„ December 19,1874. In compliance with tho request ol a number of citizens of tho East Macon district, a poll will bo opened at tho East Macon precinct on Tuesday, December 22,1874, to receive votes in tho Demo cratic nomination of candidates for coun ty offices, such poll to bo kept open from 8 a. it. to 3 r. it., and to bo under tho management of W.

Tnx cotton product of 1874, os estima ted by tho cotton-growers in their re turns to tho Department of Agriculture, somewhat exceeds throe and a half mil lions boles. Tho yield per aero is re ported less than in 1873. In most of the States tho weather for ripening and gath ering tho top crop has been very favora ble. Tho reports are nearly unanimous in stating that the proportion of lint to seeds is Urge. Tun Crvn, Ei ours Bill.—The corre spondent of tho Courier, in a Washington telegram of tho 16th instant, saysi If tho matter gets over the holiday rocess, tho psssago of tho measure will bo ren dered quite doubtful, Tho passago of thu matter at thu session tends to defeat some of tho appropriation bills, which would render an extra session of Congress inevitable. Tho bill is port of a system designed to punish tho South for her con tinuance in resistance to the Eodical par ly. The hopo of its authors is to proToko the conflict of races on which they rely to inflame the Northern mind. A table recently prepared from official statements for 1873 and 1874 gives tho taxablo valuations and tho rates of taxa tion in the several States, os varying all tho way from 10 cents on tho $100 in Connecticut to $2 IS on tho $100 in Lou isiana. Tho rate is 50 cents in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Maine, Minnesota, Texas and Virginia, 40 cents in Georgia, Kansas, Ohio and Tennessee, 70 cents in Florida, 10 cents in Connecticut, 24 cents in Illinois, 15 cents in Indiana, 17 cents in Maryland, 22 cents in Michigan, $1121 in Nevada, 72$ cents in New York, 15 cents in Oregon, 20 cents in Bhodo Is land and 70 cents in South Carolina. Tim Philadelphia spiritualists havo had a terrible back-sot. Ono of their most famous mediums was Katie King, whose performances havo startled all tho old women cf both sexes in that city nearly out of their feeble wits. The Phil adelphia Inquirer of the ISth, however, contained a fall expose of the swindle, ob tained from a gentleman who unearthed the fraud. Ho traced the supposed Katie to a boarding-house, and, after a long ef fort, persuaded her to confess the decop tion she had been practicing, and to pro duce tho gauzy dresses she wore at tho manifestations. The production of tho Utter, with a largo amount of jewelry, etc., that had been presented to Katie at seances, induced Eobert Dale Owen and Dr. Child, two leading spiritualists of that city, to publicly repudiato the swin dle. Tax Okalona (Miss.) News says a dia bolical outrage was committed upon two young ladies within threo miles of Hous ton, on last Friday morning, by a black fiend by the name of Bill Montgoxnerv. It seems the young ladies had spent tho night at a neighbor's house, and on their return home in the morning they wero attacked in the woods, the fiend striking theoldestandbreaking her jawbone, then then tied youngest, and in this condition kept them in the woods for six long and dreary hours to gratify his hellish pas sions. Suffice it to say the monster was caught and was made to pay the penalty of his awful crime by hanging by the neck till dead, to a tree in the court house square in tho town of Houston. Both white and colored participated in the launching of this vile monster into eternity. Accinsntal Shooting.—The EnfauU Times learns from a private letter re ceived by a gentleman in that city, that Mr. Henry C. Wood, eon of Wn. H. Wood, of Colombia, Henry county, was accidentally shot aad killed at Colum bia, on Wednesday morning l*«t, about three o'clock, hf a friend. It seems that a negro had been stealing cotton from a wesehonen in Columbia, and that Mr. Wood and two or three others determined to watch the promisee and capture the thief. They suooeeded in catching him, Jtafctecn after he attempted to escape, sAte one cf the gentlemen, who had a etched pistol in hu tend, struck the no ne on tee bead with the pistol^ when it Kd—the tell taking effect is Mr. W-rf- aeee and rangtog hack to the tote hilled him to; - If. irwrt moat nd and unfortunate affair. Mississippi. It would seem from a telegram to-day that tho Black Legislature of Mississippi has responded to Ames’ demand for ven geance on Vicksburg by passing a reso lution calling lor Federal troops. That, we think, was hardly what Amee and the Washington Radicals desire. They want to raise a Black Legion to march on Vicksburg, in order to insure a fight, which might be called "another rebel lion.” This is what the interests of the Badi- cal party in the United States impera tively demand. This, it is thought, will demonstrate tho necessity of another Radical administration of the govern ment, and perhaps of a third term for General Grant, who goes in for a prompt application of Federal bayonets in every case—from a Legislative squabble to a brawling kitchen. There’s nothing like bayonets to put down a fos3 after you havo raised one; and even tho most ig norant Spaniards know the effect of tor ture and worry on the most peaceable bullock of tho herd. If skilfally applied, the bull can be maddened into a fight of which the only possible result can be hi3 own destruction. The whites of Vicksburg and Louis iana have now been fairly forced into tho great Radical ring, to be tortured by the ikiBfnl application of wrongs and indig nities, into resistance and so-called rebel lion, and tho matadors are gathering around them. It is very probable, if they march on army of negroes on to Vicksburg to inflict the “harsh and cntcT' retribution demanded in-Ames’ message, that gallant city would feel bound to protect wives and children, regardless of consequences. But they will have no quarrel with United States troops under control of officers, and responsible to law and military discipline. Compromise Civil Bights Bill Special to Chicago Tribune. I Tho House Judiciary Committee have finally agreed upon a new civil rights bill. The agreement, however, is pro forma, in order that the measure may be brought before tho House. The bill strikes out tbc cemetery clause of the Senate bill, which is upon tho Speaker's table, and modifios tho mixed school sec tion by a proviso which does not insist upon mixed school} in any locality where tho authorities are willing to give both races separate schools with equal fa cilities. Tbo contest in the committee over tho cemetery clauso.was compara tively insignificant. Tho Republicans who are most ardently in favor of tho mixed school provisions of the Senate bill, attached no particular importance to the cemetery clause. It had littlo prac tical application except to a very few cem eteries in the country. Besides, the idea prevailed in tho committee that that sec tion was legislation for a sentiment which could neither benefit the living nor dead. There was a long controversy over tho compromiso proposition to add the proviso of the now bill to tho mixed section of tho Scnato bill. To tho sur prise of many. General Butler, Judge Poland and Lyman Tremaine were in fa vor of this compromise proviso. White, of Alabama, voted with them, but at though White is a Republican, ho is sup posed to have much of tho mutual antip athy of the Southerner to the black race. The Republicans of the committee who. upon principle, will not, in tho House, consent to any compromiso on the mixed school question, nro Ward of Chicago; Frye, of Moino; Wilson, of Indiana, and Cessna, of Pennsylvania. These four, however, were anxious that the proposi tion should bo brought before tho House by some action of tho Jndiciaiy Com mittee, and for this purpose voted to-day with Butler, Poland, Tremaine and White to report tho compromiso measure for consideration. Ward, however, in sisted upon and obtained the right on behalf of tho minority, to move in tho Honso that the consideration of the com promiso measure shall not begin until action can bo taken on tho Senate bill, which lies upon the Speaker's table. The general purpose of tho committee is to take no action upon tho compromise measure until tho Senate bill is reached, when Gen. Butler will move to substi tute the House bill for it. It seems probable that tho action of tho Judiciaxy Committee will have affect to prevent any civil rights legislation this session. Tho majority in tho Senate in favor of tho measure is not relatively os strong as that in tho House. The only practical way to pass tho civil rights bill, as the members of tho Judiciary Com mittee themselves think, is to pass the Senato bill on tho Speaker’s table. The Pre?ident,doubtless, would veto tho Senate bill if it should pass. The Democrats and Republican opponents of the civil rights measure, as emboded in the House Judi ciary substitute, will probably be able to prevent tho passage of that bill through both tho Houso and Senate. Altogether the passago of a civil rights bill, which can become a law, is very uncertain. So says a Radical organ, and yet how absurd to suppose a House with a clear Radical majority of 100 cannot po33 just such a civil rights bill as they want, and pass it when they will. All this backing, filling and floundering in this session, as well as the lost, is got up for a purpose, but it should not deceivo oven tho ne- groex. For our part, it is immaterial what leg islation they propose or accomplish in re gard tolStato public’schools. Tho attempt of Congress to usurp authority and juris diction over money raised for that pur- poso solely by taxation in the States seems too foul and gross a usurpation to ho acquiesced in by State officials where the remedy of no taxation at all is in our hands. To demand by Federal statute that there shall bo a precisely equal division of the money with tho negroes, when the latter contribute hardly a cent in tho dol lar of tho tax, is not justice, but a bare faced imposition on tho tax-payers. In this county of Bibb, for example, the col ored schools ore about as good as the whites, but they ore so not as a matter of justice, or upon the demand of Con gress, but out of the abounding liberality of tho people. Tho whites pay, as we suppose, about ninety cents in the dollar of all the expenses of the colored schools. Now for the Federal government to set up a demand that for every dollar spent for the white a dollar shall go to the ne groes—that in everything there shall bo exact equality, and this under penalty of prosecution in the Federal courts, and fines and imprisonment, is intolerable. No freeman, however much he may de sire the education of the young, is justi fiable in acquiescing in any such impu dent pretension and gross usurpation. Congress has no more business with schools carried on under State jurisdic tion solely, by funds raised by taxation under State laws, than it has to deter mine what portion of our market money shall be spent for bread and what for meat. And so Hr as the people of the States acquiesce in this brazen-faced usur pation by carrying-on public schools un der it, they consent to a precedent fatal to individual and public liberty. Diversify Tour Crops and Grow Rich. "We bare at this office a beautiful speci men of the prepared fibre of the Ramie plant, which flourishes so luxuriantly in Georgia, procured from Mr. Dwight Is. Roberts, an enterprising commission merchant of Savannah. It came from Liverpool, where the new textile discov ery is rapidly attracting notice. From ♦hi, article the finest Irish poplins are manufactured, and experiment has demonstrated its superiority to the very best grades of Sea Island cotton. Mixed with cotton, also, it serves a most admir able purpose. The cost of the prepared fibre is $1 25 per pound, and being found between the inner bark of the shrub and the wood, the length of staple is obviously only limited by the height of the plant. This gives it an immeasurable advantage over its cotton rival. The staple of the sample we procured recently in Savannah, will measure near three feet in length, while in fineness and delicacy of texture, it closely resembles silk. Thus far, the principal obstacle in the way of the introduction into general cul tivation of the Ramie plant, lies in the absence of any discovery or appliance by which the fibre can be expeditiously sep arated from the parent stalk. That thi3 want will soon be remedied, no one who Tits exports of cotton from Savannah, on Thursday, footed up 7,591 bales, valued at $514,109. All for Liverpool. Wz find the following in the Savannah Advertiser: . Lasaz Receipts or Obamoks.—Captain Fitzgerald, of the steamer City Point, stated to us yesterday that he had brought on this trip perhaps the largest cargo of oranges that had ever been shipped from Florida, having on board atwuV three hundred thousand. The large number produced is accounted for by the great increase in the number of pores and young trees beginning to bear. Notwith standing this, oranges are held at high figures in Florida, and they can be bought about as cheap in Savannah as in Jack sonville or Palatka. People generally noticed a large influx of colored people in the city yesterday. They were dressed in all conceivable shapes, and represented Southern Geor gia. The coonskln cap—the ’possom tail pendant—told forcibly and plainly. that an exodus was taking place. Anxious to know how, when and whence these things could be, we consulted mwl "Of these emigrants, and found that they had came from the turpentine region of Southern Georgia, King’s ferry, St. Wavy's river, where they have been employed I by Hr.

Cherry street was like a bee hive yes terday. It was difficult to pick your way through the labyrinth of wagons and vehicles of every description, from the butt homed bull and skeleton cart of the darkey, to the imposing team of six mules with its ponderous load of cotton, which reminded us of by-gone days. Indeed, it was like Wall street or Broad way in miniature, and many was the dol lar that changed hands, and gleeeome and happy the countenances of our country friends as they loaded up with the goods so temptingly displayed on all sides. The wagon trade of Macon is by no means extinct, and we do not believe that any other city in Georgia enjoys so large a retail custom from the surrounding country, or is the centre of a mure well- to-do and thriving population. A Ranis letter says that Bochu Hew bold is spoon biting there in stocks; that he has made a good deal ot money re cently, aad had over a quarter ot a mil- boa dollar* when he left his American creditors in the lurch. mechanical experts of the present period, can reasonably doubt. We saw this plant flourishing luxuri antly on the experimental farm of the University of Georgia la3t July, and it will unquestionably thrive in every por; tion of the State. Let our planters therefore look dili gently into tho matter, and begin at tho earliest day to supplement their cotton crops with a patch of Eamie. TEA CULTUBE. The curious are also invited to call at our editorial sanctum, and examine branch of the tea plant covered with leaves and blossoms, plucked by the wri ter from the plantation of lira. Screven, inXiberty county." It is hard" to believe that leaves so largo, and in their green state almost tasteless, can really afford the delicious beverage whicb “ cheers but not inebriates.’’ But such is tbo fact, and the lady owner of the plants was using tho article prepared by her own hands, and universally conceded to bo superior to any imported from China. Tho father of tho editor of the Southern Cultivator, who has quite a tea plantation in Liberty, and successfully cultivates tho shrub at Athens also, assured the writer last summer that ho used no other tea on his table, and the best judges pro nounced it unequalcdih' flavor and qual ity. The original seed ha4 been import ed direct. For the information of our re adore, we would repeat thOTemark made in a re cent editorial letter, that tea seed, and tho plants too, if preferred, can bo pro cured from Mrs. B. S.

Curtail your cotton crops then, say twenty acres, and experiment with thi3 rice, planting it during tho month of April, in rows two and a half or threo feet wide, and drop ping the seed in hill3 two feet asunder. Messrs Fraser & Allen, of McIntosh Georgia, will famish tho seed at reason, able prices, and -the result will astonish you.

Little need be said in favor of the uni versal introduction, of this indispensable addendum to the family board, in all portions of the State where it may he successfully cultivated. Five hundred gallons of syrup worth $250 are fre quently tholproduct of a single acre, and the grinding and boiling season is a per. feet carnival to the juveniles and grown up children too. Cider from the juice, candypullings and a feast of sweet things, usually regale the household after the long snmmer, at that period, and fan and mer riment are tho order of tho day. It can be safely assorted that sugar cane may be made a profitable crop in any part of the State south of Griffin. The only care requisite is in the proper preservation of the seed, which has been fully dwelt upon in a former article. For lack of this knowledge, Georgia syrup will bo scarce next fall. "Why not raise your own sweetening ? Then grapes, peaches, wool, peas for the Western market, ground peas, cypress and pine shingles, and oak staves when practicable, turpentine, and vegetables may bo added to our market products, to say nothing of crabgras3 and swamp hay, which are so universally abundant, and might be made to save thousands to the State. In tho abovo list all cereals save rice, have been omitted, because we are des irous of showing what additional resour ces are really within the reach of tho farmers of Georgia, as feasible as they are unquestionably profitable. There is no subject of such paramount importance to tho welfare of our people, and we must be pardoned for so often ex patiating upon it. Let there be “line upon line” if it will do any good; and we are happy to state that private letters receiv ed from various sections of the Country, show that the seed sown has not fallen npon barren ground. Grant’s Panacea for IiOuisi- ana’s Bis. A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer says it i3 now stated that Grant favors the calling of a Constitutional Conven tion in Louisiana, the election to be held under laws to be passed by the incoming Legislature, the Kellogg dynasty of thieves to be maintained in the mean time and to have control of tho election machinery and the Returning Board. If the Conservatives are allowed by the present Returning Board their rightful majority in the Legislature, they may ac cept the suggestion of a Constitutional Convention in the hope of securing a pure jndiciaiy in lieu of the present rot ten regime. Homcrox.—The negroes on the Hc- Tyer place six miles below Eufaula, says the Times, on the Abbeville road, had a frolic on Wednesday night last, at which, as is usually the case, a distorb- ance'aroee between some of those present. A negro, named Walter Jackson, got to quarreling with another negro about the dancing, when the fiddler, Hemy Mc- Tyer, interfered and endeavored to quiet the parties. He was immediately abused by Jackson and threatened,with chastise ment. Henry evaded a fight, at the time, but in going home about 4 o'clock, a. m., yesterday, be was assaulted by Walter Jackson, who bad armed himself with a table leg. He struck at Henry with it, when the latter seized a piece of plaak and struck Jackson a heavy blow over the nead, from the effects of which died in less than an hour. Henry casae to i-— »nd gave himself up, and was discharged on a *300 to ap- psaron Saturday to answer the re-. m . ol manslaughter in the second degree. after the holidays, to make Southern Geor gia their home.

They were all well clothed, and healthy during tho season. They stated that turpentine was the best of medicine, for none of them had been ser iously sick during the past summer. In fact, we have never seen a more jovial and healthy looking set of colored people since tho war. They roamed the city from the time of the arrival of tha City Point to her leaving—were orderly and well behaved, and when the boat left for Charleston, not one was found missing.

Dunlap Scott, of Rome, possession of whose person and property waa claimed by two parties—her mother’s adopted sis ter (who bad raised her,) and Capt. S.’s sister—Judge Underwood delivered tho following decision on Thursday: I do not doubt but that a father may emancipate bis child and displace his power and control over his child by a vol untary engagement or arrangement, nor do I doubt but that Janes and wife (Mrs. Scott’s adopted sister,) took possession of the child under the firm belief that they were to stand in loco parentis, and that this opinion ol theirs was acquiesced in by the father, Capt. Scott, But under our law thi3 is revocable, and the parent may recede from it, unless the child is adopted according to the" provisions of "our Code." T am satisfied "that it was the dying request of the mother of the child that Mrs. Janes shbuld take it, raise and educate it as her own child, and that Capt. Scott, under the most solemn cir cumstances, with a full knowledge of the facts, acquiesced in it. But the proof satisfies me that in the last year of his life he changed his mind, and his dying request was that hi3 sister, Mrs. C. C. Cleghorn, should have the custody and control of the child, to raise and educate. The discretion of the court is a discre tion controlled by law—it being proven that both claimants or contestants are proper persons to raise, educate and train the child and attend to its moral and in tellectual culture. By the rules of law Mr. C, C. Cleghorn would be entitled to the guardianship of the child, but be lieving, as I do, that Capt.

A Diabolical Scheme Feustbatxd.— A few days since, Sandy Ringer, a negro, laid a plan, with three other negroes to rob, and if necessary, to murder an old, paralyzed, white man, named Bowman, who lives in Heard county, just beyond the line, near Buttrell’s milL Ringer had recently lived with Mr. Bowman, and supposed that he had $200 in his house, besides provisions—all of which the ne groes intended to get. The fonr conspir ators agreed to put their plan into execu tion on last Tnesday night. They com municated their plans to another negro and told him he m ust lend them his mules to ride' to Bowman’s. He refused to do so, when they threatened to take his life if he did not accede to their demands, inasmuch as he already hod their secret. The man was obliged to yield to them, but divulged the plot to some white men.! On Tuesday night, Messrs. John Cleveland aad "Volley Brown, of Troup, and two Messrs. Form- by, of Heard, were at Mr. Bowman’s in waiting. They did not writ long before Ringer entered the house and was caught, baring in his possession a cudgel," a large stone and a pistol. He confessed his intention to rob and murder the old paralytic, and tho names of his three col leagues. and stated that if he h'—r successful at Mr. Bowman’s, they intend ed tho next night to rob the house of Mrs. Hammett, an old widow who lives not tar off. We have not learned the names of the other negroes, nor whether they have been caught. Bbutal Mubdcb in Wsrr Point.— Last Friday night, Charles Gibbons was fatally stabbed in West Point, by George W.

We are indebted to Mr. James Milne for a copy of the North British Agricultur ist, published in Edinburgh on tho 25th ultimo. From a vast amount o£ information re lating to’agricultnral matters, manures, etc., all deeply instructive and entertain ing, wo cull tho following: The number of horses used for agricultural, draught afi^broeding purposes the past year wa3 180,818; and cattle; 1.151.&4G, showing an increase of about 7,000 over the previous year. Of sheep, tho returns foot up 7, 389,487; while the number of hogs or pigs, as they are styled by tho people, amounts to 150,298. The domain of Scotland but littlo ex ceeds in extent . half of tho Stato of Georgia, and much of her territory is hill and heather, and unfit for cultivation. But where this is tho case, sheep are utilized to supply the wants of tho in habitants, and their valuable fleeces and toothsome flesh go far to compensate for the poverty of tho soil. Think of seven and a half millions of sheep, tho value of whose wool, estimated at four pounds per capita, amounts to the princely sum of $30,000,000, besides tho increase, and mutton. And this is but a single item in tho ag gregate of Scotish industry. Thera are her factories fisheries and agricultural products, which swell the volume to an astonishing figure, and prove how much can be accomplished by patient toil, even when nature has been chary of her gifts, All honor to tho “canny Scot” who can earn a comfortable support from oven barren moor or hillside, where a less thrifty and industrious adventurer would perish outright. Huns In Effigy for Maltreating His "Wife. A correspondent at Dawson writes that S. Wise Parker, a notorious Radical poli tician of that place, one of Whitoley’s right bowers, and at present, we believe, holding office under tho Federal govern ment as register in bankruptcy, was hung in effigy last Monday night for the alleged offence of so severely maltreating bis wife as to cause her to take shelter at the house of a neighbor. From tho Dawson Journal we get the following account of the affair: On Tuesday morning there was found hung to a limb in the Court-house yard the life-size likeness of a human being, and on examination, the name of S. "Wise Parker was found thereon. As this man is known as a Radical politician, it may be said by oar readers unacquainted with the true causo of thia act, that tho hang ing was dono on account of hU political condnct. Not so. It was dono by men unknown to ns, who havo respect for wo man, and hold that no man has a right to whip his wife. It is not our place to interfere between man and wife, but it is our duty to let our readers know that S. Wise Parker was not hung in effigy and disgrace on account of political opinions or acts, but for the reason of unmanly conduct towards his wife. This is ono of tho offenses the law does not fully reach, but public scorn and indignation can, and generally doe3 sup- supplement the law’s deficiency. That Overflowed Bacon Truth, says the Montgomery Advertiser, has at last pnt on his “seven league boots" and strode through tho land, howling "overflowed bacon” in the eara of tho trnly loyal; and tho sound thereof is as the'voice of many waters to the Hayses’. Pelhams, Rapiers,Lewises and other poli ticians whose fingers were greased by tho distribution. The Secretary of War, well knowing the character of the men with whom he had to deal, detailed Captain Gentry, in August last, to keep a watch over the government bacon; and so far as one man could, the Captain honestly and conscientiously performed his duty. His report to the War Department shows that the bountyof the government to the unfortunate was misapplied. Lewis, a very weak man, and a candidate for re. election, was entrusted with the general distribution. His aids, when appointed, were instructed to apply to the Congress men in their respective districts for in structions as to the manner, time and place'of" making the distribution. This completed the organization of the vil lainy. Charles H»y3 was the Mephiatopheles of the arrangement; He was the "stir rer of the storm”—but he had no idea then that it would ever prove to be any thing worse than a gentle gale to fill the sails ol his Congressional barque and blow him on to fortune. The truthful Charles, writing to one ol his sub-agents, pnt it in this style: “Of course the over flowed districts will need mote than those not overflowed. In this matter you must use your own judgment.” Now this was a very sound and sensible conclusion—as far as it went. An ordinary mortal would have thought that the overflowed districts needed it all, as the whole of it had been donated for such districts. But Hays was no ordinary mortal. Tf i* Haw ley letter settled that beyond all ques tion. He could see a constructive pur- pose in tbe act (which he had himself paid to hare drawn) (1) to re-elect Chas. Hay 3 to Congress and (2) to carry Ala bama in the interest of the party of great moral ideas and greater immoral prac tices. Hence it was that he sentthe ba- con off the waters of the Tombigbee and theAteteiqa tar into the MU country of Calera, Briarfield, Talladega, Marion, etc. IfAhe people of those places were not trim they ware suffragists, and Hays, whorbaa illiterate fellow, didn’t know the difference. Capt Gentry says In Ms report that he only Investigated a few of the frauds—a fact of which we were well aware. He did as much as any one man ooold, however, in the limited time at his command. It would have required a dozen agents to unearth all the frauds connected with the distribution of that bacon. But the new Honse of Representatives should take the matter in hand as Boon as possible and expel the wretch who commenced by slandering hit native State and ended by bribing his way into Congress. A full investigation is also needed to show what Southern Radicalism is, even .in its purest phases, and to what lengths it will go in pursuit of place and power. Fairy Scenes. In these days of spiritual phenpmena, almost equaling tho metempsychosis of the ancients, it is not difficult to imagine that Barr Brown alias tho redoubtable Captain Mulligan, ha3 been transformed into the veritable Santa Claus, whose ad vent. is soon to create so much hilarity and amusement among the juveniles of the oomm unity. This gentleman is equal to any emergency of the kind, and we be- liSjo'eBir oven boat tbe old worthy he personates, and give him the odds. But it was necessary to rig out and equip for service thi3 popular hero of Merry Christinas, and his brother Harry has traveled far,and labored bard to do it. Dropping all fancy, the store of Messrs. Brown A Co. presents a most imposing and brilliant coup d'ccil to tho visitor, as viewed from the entrance. A long and glittering succession of beautiful and recherche objects is display ed, presenting the most bewildering me lange of curiosities, embracing in part toys, elegant pictures, miniature side board sets of glass and plateware, fancy work boxes and dressing cases of every description, bronze statuary and chimney ornaments, writing desks, mnsio boxes, pocket books, opera glasses of exquisite finish, magic lanterns, poplin repp paper and envelopes, children’s games,and illus trated nursery tales in endless variety, tho standard works of distinguished authors in poefry and prose elegantly bound, ink- stands, beautiful baskets and grass de signs of European importation, balls and croqnet sets, automaton gymnasts who perform better than real actors, and, in short, such an array of pretty things adapted to all sizes and tastes, as we never remember to have seen in one col lection before. Tho very selection of theso Christmas gifts must havo involved a great expenditure of timo and trouble, and required no littlo judgment, taste and energy. Messrs. Brown A Co., however, havo the satisfaction of knowing that their attractive store is now the admiration of strangers, citizens, and all who enter it. Tho grouping and arrangement of their goods also, for effect, could not be excel led "We are glad to see an appreciating public is fast transferring them to their homes—though mum is tho word to the littlo ones.
