THURSDAY. DECEMBER 24.1874
Mall Subscriptions to the Tel
egraph and Messenger;
On and after the first of Jammy next,
the new postage law will require prepay*
ment of postage on all newspapers sent
throagh ths mails by publishers to their
subscribers, and f.-h prepay m< r.t -
therefore have to be made at the office of
. psblication.
Under this new law the postage on
tiffin win be about sixty cents, and on
wash lies about fifteen cents per year.
We will, therefore, prepay this postage
after the first of January; bat, to rc-cm-
buree ourselree, will require, after that
date, subscriptions to our different edi
tions at tho following rates:
Daily, ono year. $10 00
Daily, si* month*™. 0 80
Daily, tl-rne months. 2 f>.'
8ciui-w<ylTy, one year 4 30
Semi-weekly, six months 2 IS
Weekly, oneyear. 3 15
Weekly, six months 1 60
This is a decided redaction of rates, as
will readily bo seen—upon tho daily edi
tion, alone, of just sixty cents per year.
The subscriber not only saves that
amount, bat avoids all bother about pos
tage at the office where he receives his
paper.
If subscriber! neglect or forget to
forward postago with their subscription
money, they will bo charged with the
difference against the timo for which the
subscription is sent.
Parties whose subscription! ore now
running, of course will have their post
age prepaid after January tint until tho
orpiration of tho timo for which they
have subscribed.
Parties who subscribo between now
and Jannuy first, will have their postago
prepaid afta- that data until their time
expire*. " ,.:"'

Jtditon Telegraph and Hessnger: It is
seldom I differ from you in any position
yon place yourselves in, editorially. Your
' paper is* the first thing I think about
when I rise in the morning. Permit me
to differ from you in your endorsement of
the following paragraph, copied from tho
*
A M attbro v Taste.—The city of Augus
ta is noted for tho culture of her citizens.
Two thousand of them will attend a saw
dust performance or a aide show with a
hurdy-gulMy. Two Astiired will attend a
.lecture delivered by a gentleman whose
fame will livo in Confederate story as
long as tho sea floats a bark or tho winds
hoave a sigh."
Now I most respectfully beg to differ
with you both. Tho eighteen hundred
who were absent from thj leeturo of Ad
miral Semmes, would hare tortured tho
"two hundred" who were present, had
they patronized this literarr treat.
Clowns and "Confederate story” do not
harmonize. J. H. N.
P. S.—Tho "taste” is altogether on the
side of the "two hundred."
Tho writer of tho foregoing asks tho
opinion of tho Senior thereon, and that
gentleman aoecfdiri^lj aailh, that if the
1800 missing from tho leeturo staid away
because they felt no interest in it, and
knew therefore that they would bo liable,
by their buzzing and restlessness, to an-
noy people who wanted to hear, their
taste might bs execrable, but their kind
ness and good manners entitle them to
respect and commiseration.
Whether at lecture or concert, an eter
nal buss of whisper and undertone, be
sides taking away all enjoyment of the
4 performance, frets persons of taste and
appreciation out of temper and, if they
are nervous, drives them half crazy. At
an ordinary public concert there is no ex
cuse for it, because the intervals between
pieces and scenes are ample and frequent
enough to allow the gushing Miss Dora
and tho inimitable Master Henry Angus
tns to ease the strain upon their hearts
and minds by oral ventilation, so that they
can safely bo silent during the perform
ance* if they will.
Bat will they? By no means. Per
haps Harry Augustus wants to call par
ticular attention to the admirable ar
rangement of his hair and mustaches; or
Dora hate* to feel the people are in don.

of her toilet; for the pair not only talk

est and most delicate melody of the solo
or the softest harmony of the duet for a
aSHiiMbcosl outburst cf uncommon ar
dor, or a dear, delightful giggle, which
never fails of effect if its real purpose is
to attract attention. Everybody turns
round to look at doer Augustus and sweet
Dora, and in the plain old English sense
at tho ward, they do excite general admi-
ration. 1 Hoad we say what excruciating
anoyances Dora and Augustus have be
come P How rude and selfish is their be'

bility in the human mind and affairs to
adapt themselves to any system, if per
manent and uniform; but our way of
proceeding, in Georgia, makes us travel
in new shoes, on new roads, all the time.
We are not allowed to adapt ourselves to

and every Legislature brags about ’Wjs

in ordinary times, passes more than a

There exists an entirely false notion
both as to the true occasion for legislation
and as to its general practical value. An
oeeation arises for new law when there is a
general popular etprexion of need of It
—not when any legislator “thinks he can
make a better one than now exists on
that subject. It is doubtful whether any
legislator should vote for a change in the
law, merely because he thinks it an im
provement. The improvement is a mere
matter of opinion and speculation—or it
may be small, at best, while the change
itself u a great and positive evil.

ping list of the same date shows only
fifty-five as a total, among which are 4
steamers, 4 ships, 25 barks, 6 brigs and

article from which, with becoming mod

There are two papers in Macon; the
Telegraph and Messexoik, and the Star.
The former paper is a truly admirable
journal—wise, reliable, abundant of news,
and not niggardly of outlay, it commands
and pleases a large constituency. There
is no paper in the State, that we, as an
editor, would nominate as a paper type of
Georgia journalism, in preference to the
Tzligbaph, unless indeed, it be that pa
per whose columns these lines aro intend
ed to adorn. The Telegraph ha3 a very
able editorial and news staff. Colonel
Clisby the senior is honored and beloved
by. all who know him, and many young
editors have their eyes turned towards
him, as towards one who may be safely
followed. He has written more sense to
more people than any of U3. For thirty-
one years he has labored earnestly and
honestly at the editor’s de3k, and
now in tho fullness of hi3 years, with a
smile on his face that Pickwick might
ha70 envied, the old veteran still sits at
his desk, and drops a word or so of genial
wisdom to the world 03 it rUBhe3 past
him. Mr. Anderson Reeso doC3 tho bulk
of tho editorial work, (thera you are mis
taken, Sir. Herald) and does it superbly,
too. He is an effective, graceful and
timely writer. He has .the ono knack
necessary to successful editing, and yet
so rarely possessed—namely, of writing
out such editorials a3 are pertinent and
necessary. Ho never writes'to fill up

Before the war, what little I had made
was loaned out at simple interest. After
the war commenced and money got more
plentiful, men began to pay back in Con
federate money what they had borrowed
in specie fundi When, then, in Febru
ary. 1S62, my first quarter’s salary for
that year was due, having enough Con
federate money to support my family for
two years, and the State having deter
mined to “ raise money” to carry on her
government by the issue of treasury notes
" receivable” at all times, from one day
to one hundred years after date," in pay
ment of all dues to the State,” and prom
ising further to give " State bonds” or
“specie” for them after the war; I an
nounced to the State Treasurer that
I would no longer take “currency” for
my salary, but would wait (and did waft
sear two mouths) to take these treasury
notes, for the purpose of getting State bonds
for them after the war. I waited, and
took the first lot about the first of April,
1862, and continued to take th*™ every
quarter thereafter, keeping my notes all
the time in the vault of the Stats treasu
ry office as long as it was safe to do so.
In August or September, 1864, about the
time Sherman took Atlanta, I got Treas
urer Jones togive me larger, or SlOOsotM*
for $5,500 that I had in the vault, and*:
had them, for safe keeping, buried in the
ground until November, 1871. I have
certificates of the State Treasurer and
others to all of these facts. I also took
$750, of these notes two weeks after the
surrender, or on the 9th of May, 1865, al
so to get bonds—$6350 mpoil
ing the Legislature to give me bonds for
them in the whiter of 1865.
We trust, therefore, that the Telegraph
will not be considered as unfriendly to
the payment of Mr. Thwsntt'a claim,
which ths most IsareU la ryets In the

Col. Samuel JTAndcrson, in Atlanta on

Tho dead body was found lying just to
the. right, of .the. entrance, ithe 1 - feet ex
tending cut nearly in front or tho door,
with the legs slightly drawn up, and tho
body lying on its left side, at an angle
of about forty-fiva degrees from tho wall.
The head rested up against tho base
board in a pool of blood, tho faco in
clined a little to the left side, with the
left eye-ball forced almost from its sock
et, and looking very blue; ’the right eyo
in not quite so bad a fix; the mouth
wide open, and clogged with blood. The
hands were clasping a Colt’s revolver,
with ono chamber empty. The left hand
held tho barrel of the pistol—which was
about ten or twelve inches from the
mouth, and pointing directly toward it—
while tho right loosely grasped tho han
dle of tho pistol, os if the trigger had
been pulled with the thumb. Before
committing tho act, the deceased evident
ly hod got up, made a fire, took a hath,
dressed himself in the old clothes pre-
pnred for the occasion, ploced-tho rug on
the floor, just to the right and nearly in
front of tho entrance,-thou clasped the
barrel of tho pistol in his left hand with
the muzzle in his mouth, whilo he pulled
the trigger with the thumb of the right
hand, then fell to the’ floor bn the pallet,
resting on hU left side. The hall did
not pass out, but evidently ranged up
through the brain. There is no doubt
but that ho died without a struggle, be

same.thing in the end. The only conse
quence of such enactments is, to raise
the rate of interest, by adding to toe risk
to which the lender is exposed, and
•gninr* which he most be indemnified.
It Is somewhat amusing to find that those
goresRments, which have fixed the rate
of interest, have almost invariably them
selves set the example of breaking their
own laws, by borrowing at higher than
legal interest in their own case.

months ago Col. Anderson gave as many
as two different parties Jiere in Atlanta
to understand that he was some kind of
Government detective for this city. Bnt
be that os it w,he has received money

Atlanta, Be sort belesi waa la very straight-
ened circumstances. About three months
ago, Dr. John M. Johnson, of this city,
a practicing physician in partnership
with. Dr. H. Y. M. Miller, took UDon
himself to intercede with General Robert
Toombs in behalf of CoL Anderson, awJ
wrote him a letter upon the subject.
Very soon General Toombs came to the
city sad is rsom 64 of toe Kimball House,

General Toombs presented to Colonel

this time General Taombia smttred into
some kind of an arrangement with
Colonel Anderson: which unfortunately

a less return than if it were spring, and
the same article in great demand as
seed ? So precisely is it with money.
Just according to the scarcity or the pr/fits
accruing from its use, mnst the rate, of
interest be graduated. And any infcr-
fercrice with this principle by legislaf re
enactment, is both unjust, and injurbus
to society.
No postulate is more firmly fixed
that "trade will regulate itself," and it is
about as feasible to try to make wa>
"up hill” 03 the attempt by arbitrary re
strictions to fetter tho laws of comm
and alter its legitimate channels.
Both sides of the discussion exi
have baenaenhns in a private letter.hut
we must be content simply to quote the
passages germara to' the matter is dis
pute, which havo been cited by "AlUny”
from Dr. Paley and Prof. Say. Sayi the
former: IKZ Srf E»
"There exists no reason in the law .of
nature why a man shonld not be paid for
the lending of his money, as well as of
any other property into which the moiey
might be converted.
“The scruples that have been erter-
~ on this head, and upon the fmn-
.tioii of which the receiving of inttrest
or usury (for they formerly meant the
same thing,) was once prohibited inel-
most all Christian countries, arose fren a
passage in thedaw of Moses. Deu1
my xxiii., 19, 20: “Thou shalt not
upon usury to thy brother,- usuu
mcney. usury of victuals, usury of
thing that is lent upon usury: unj
stranger thou mayest lend upon ustry;
but unto thy brother thou shalt notlend
upon usury.’
* This prohibition is now general H un
derstood to hare been intended fo| the
Jews alone, as part of the civil or polit
ical law of that nation; and calculasd to
preserve amongst themselves
tributionof properly, to
their institutions were
tho marriage of an.heiress
own tribe; of a widow-
childless to her husband’
year of jubilee, when alienated
reverted to the family of the ordinal
proprietor—regulations which werccever
thought to be binding upon any bit the
commonwealth of IsiaeL
“This interpretation is confined, I
think, beyond all controversy, by tie dis
tinction made in the law between* Jew
smd’ a foreigH-ei—anto a stranger thou
mayest lend upon nsury, but u»t» thy
brother thou mayest not lend upon nsury;
a distinction which could hardly have
been admitted into a law which the Di
vine Author-intended to be of moral and
of'UxdTezsal bbhgstsau.’' yjg
Pursuing the same line of thought, Mr.
Say, in hi* great work on Political Econ
omy, thus discourses : ; " "c {-X-
“To limit capitalists to the lending at a
certain fixed rate only, ia to set an arbi
trary value on their commodity, to im
pose a maximum price upon tt, and to
should be fixed pnly in caaeawhere there
is no previous agreement about it; as in
the ease of a legal recovery of a sum
with interest. Ami, in such cases, I think
the interest fixed by law should be esti
mated at the lowest rate that is usually
paid, by individuals; because the lowest
rate is that paid by safest investments.
Now, it is quite consistent with justice,
that the withholder of capital should re
store it even with interest; but that is
in the supposition, that it has remained
all the while in his possession ; which it
cannot be supposed to have done, with
out his having invested it in the way the
least hazardous, and consequently with
out his having drawn from it at least toe
lowest interest it would havo afforded.
“But this rate should not be denomi
nated the legal interest, because the rate
of interest ought no more to be restricted
or determined by law, than the rate of
exchange, or the price of wine, linen, or
any other commodity.”
The Recent Horrible Outrage
near Boston.
The following telegram to toe Balti
more Sun, gives fuller details of this
shocking affair than too dispatch pub
lished by us on Tuesday:
Boston, December 20.—A twelve-year
old daughter of a prominent citizen, and
judge of the United States Court, was
brutally assaulted Saturday afternoon,
near her father’s residence, at Chesnnt
Hill, a few miles from this city, by a ne
gro about twenty-four years old, who at
tempted to violate Jier person, and used
a knife to effect his purpose, though he
only succeeded partially. After robbing
the ehild he left her to her fate. She
had been skating, and was returning
home through a dense piece of woods
when the ruffian waylaid her. She man
aged to drag herself home and relate the
terrible story. Police were at once set
to work, and every effort has been made
to capture the fiend. Telegrams hare
been sent in all directions, but thus far
there is no trace of the negro’s wherea
bouts. At .four o’clock this afternoon
the child was reported to be in a dying
condition, but later this evening there is
a reason to hope that hor injuries are not
of a mortal character.
Later.—Tho negro who assaulted the
daughter of Judge Lowell, of tho U. S.
District Court, was arrested, twelve miles
from this city, at a late hour to-night.
His name is Ambrose Williams, and lie ia
aged twenty-three. Ha has been identi
fied as the perpetrator of this outrage,
and is now in jail.
All the Same to Him.
H. V. K., in a recent Knoxvillo letter
to the Cincinnati Commercial, tells this
Btory:
A porter came to black my hoots, and
L repaid toe kindness by asking him
about the elections. The idea of tbo
election seemed to strike a tender chord
in his anatomy, for he opened his mouth
until one might imagine it as the en
trance to Mammoth Cave, and indulged
in a sort of jerkerty laugh, a laugh, how
ever, that was of feeble volume compared
to the preparations made for it.
"Well, Boss,” he said, “well. Boss, that
air ’leotion never did fully get into my
compro’ntion. I .«evor knowed ’zectly
how Maynard made it wid that other man,
Porter.”
“Porter beat him over 47,000,” I said.
“Whew, ding l Forty-seven thousand!
The’Publicans party’s busted, ain’t it?”
“It has received a rebuke.” I ans
wered. . 7’ .a ivi .:!<■■
“Yes -that’s what I call a right smart
take down. But I don’t see as times has
changed. They said times would change
—get better or wuss, or somethih’, but It
looks'All tho same tome. Tellyouwhat,
boss, I’ve been votin’ and votin’- since the
wah, and I ain’t 5 cents better off nor if
I had never voted a ticket. That?* what’s
the matter with this nigger,” and my
nigger disappeared.
