—The Post-office Department lias issued
a catalogue of nearly twelve thousand
separate -lots” of articles accumulated in
the Dead Letter Office, w hich are to bo
sold at auction hi this city during the
present week, commencing to-morrow.
The various schedules advertise about as
heterogeneous a collection as it is possible
to imagine. Among tlie articles so care
lessly mailed that no clue can be discover
ed to their ownership are gold watches,
chains and rings, and jewelry of almost all
kinds: every doscriptionof wearing apparel,
from men's overhauls to babies' socks;
books and pictures by the thousand, musi
cal instruments, clocks, bed qnilts, buffalo
robes, pistols, knives, tin dishes, nails and
hardware of almost all descriptions (inclu
ding iron castings for machinery), perfu
mery. tobacco and cigars, cheese, (not
excepting the Limber-ger variety), and
almost all other sortsof ordinary shop
merchandise, besides “miscellaneaus
articles" lea* susceptible of classification,
which range from artificial teeth and false
party n
ted itself to the idea of a legal tender pa-
jier currency. It must be confessed, how
ever, tliat a great many very excellent
men, true Democrats, during the last few
years, seem to have lieen shaken from
the old Democratic faitli liy tlie extraor
dinary times through which we have
Jiasaed, and what they considered the
great sufferings of the people. They have
gone temporarily for various issues, and
chiefly hare they given some countenance
to tlie idea of a legal tender paper currcn-
But I cannot doubt that tlie time is
-d for that idea to have any foothold
In tlie party. It lias been proper that we
should he very forbearing under the cir
cumstances which surrounded us hereto
fore; liut the time lias now come when
every Democrat, and indeed every true
patriot, must sec that if the Democratic
party would return to its old triumphs, it
must return to its old principles, and espe
cially its old cardinal principle of honest
hard money.”
“Do you thiuk tlie present time oppor
tune fbr tlie consideration of this ques
tion?” was arked.
“I think it exceedingly fortunate tliat
tho opportunity is now presented to us to
end all divisions upon this subject and re
turn to what must be confessed by nil to
be tbe original, the real, ami the only
true Democratic faitli on this subject. I
have great faitli tliat this will be done. I
do not doubt that tlie Southern Democra
cy, by overwhelming majorities, if not
unanimously, will support the proposi
tion contained substantially in Mr. Bay
ard’s resolution. The first step is to get
rid of the legal tender paper money; we
must get rid of the legal tender feature of
paper currency. Of course this does not
necessarily mean contraction; it docs not
mean contraction at all, but it docs mean
tliat wo should return to honest constitu
tional money. Every intelligent man
must admit tliat coin is the only constitu
tional money, and tliat a paper issue, con
vertible Into coin, is the only proper pa
per currency. Certainly no Democrat
can take issue witii this plain preposition,
for the Democratic party never held a
more distinct position than the one I have
stated. You may therefore rest assured
that, as fur as my humble abilities go,
they will ail be devoted to give success to
this proposition to got rid of the legal ten
der feature of paper currency, and I do
not iJenljt that I shall be thoroughly sus
tained by the people I represent.”
ifitnilar idefo have been expressed by
Senators Hampton and Butler, and several
other leading Southern Senators. The
drift towards a local bank currency is

The Cental System.
The inequalities of tlie weights and
measures of various countries, not to say
.States even of our own Union, are so
great that tho most serious inconvenience
is experienced iu ail mercantile produce
transactions. This gave rise to wliat is
known as tlie cental system, which lias
been adopted iu France and by tlio Liver
pool ami other exchanges.
Under tlie new plan tho standard of
measurement is to be by tlie hundred
pounds. Tiius the weight of corn, oats,
cotton seed, wheat, rice and all other pro
duce now arbitrarily fixod and each dis
similar, would all fall under the same
rule and be graduated by tlie hundred
pounds, tlie only variation being that of
value. This would save much perplexity
and greatly simplify all business transac
tions. Yery few can keep the run of the
bushel weight ot the several products of
tbe farm, and hence mistakes are con
stantly lihble to be made in their sale.
In May last, tlie New York Produce
Exchange decided by a very large vote to
make the change from the bushel to the
cental, and all of tlie Exchanges in the
United States, so far as heard from, have
followed its example, save those of Chica
go, Baltimore and Toledo. Chicago faTors
tho measure, but is prevented under a law
of Illinois from adopting it without spe
cial legislation on the subject. This
doubtless will be granted. The other two
cities will be forced to come to terms by
the general adoption of tbe proposed sys
tem elsewhere. The opposition to the
cental, however, in some quarters is very
considerable, and the question, as
yet, cannot be said to be final
ly settled. Even the New York
exchange, backed by many Western grain
dealers, is trying to reverse its past action.
The complaint is, tliat unless tlie change
could be effected everywhere simultane
ously a double system will continue,to the
serious embarrassment of commerce. Bnt
this would be temporary, and the same ar
gument obtains in all reforms when in pro
cess of inauguration. We have been amused
at tlie attack made upon the cental system
by the “Heir of tike ITorid," a latterday
jouraal published in New York, and de- j
voted to the advocacy of the “identity of j
the lost tribes of Irael witii the Anglo- |
Saxon race.” That paper asserts that the i
present “standards of weights and meas
ures are ot Divine appointment, and have
been preserved for God’s people iu that
imperishable monument, the great Pyra
mid of Egypt.” The attempt to change
th ;m into the cental system it character
izes as anti-christ and rank infidelity.
This is certainly a novel view of the
question, and we would advise the “Heir
of the Worlds to first establish the iden
tity of those lost tribes of God’s ancient
people with tlie Yankee and English na
tions, before taking any new departures
Uke that above stated, concerning the
cental movement. Why, if we may be : Macon to HavfllTfilted State* I)l»triCt

Fresh Provisions for Europe.
According to the Dublin Freeman'sjour-
nal there were received from America for
the week ending December lst,attheportof
Liverpool alone, ZflM quarters of beef,
2,254 carcasses of mutton, and 229 dead
hogs.
In addition, a steamer of the Allan
Lino is expected in the Mersey shortly,
loaded with turkeys, prairie hens and
game from Canada for the Christmas hol
idays. Ten thousand turkeys are expect
ed by this vessel, besides other game and
fresh meats.
So our teeming country will be drawn
upon even for the wherewith to make
glad the hearts of our Irish and English
cousins.
Would that a special United States
ship could be laden witii good things and
dispatched, as on a former occasion, to
the Emerald Isle for the relief of her suf
fering people. It would be a graceful act
worth a hundred-fold more than all the
Fenian sympathy from 3Iaine to Califor
nia. Tlie one feeds tlie helpless poor, and
is a messenger of peace and good will;
the other but infuriates the passions of an
excited people and tends to precipitate
deeds of violence and bloodshed which
can only culminate in disaster and ruin to
a weak and oppressed country.
Irish newspapers.
We are indebted to Mr. T. Dempsey,
now in Europe, for copies of the Dublin
Irish Times and Freeman's Journal, dated
December 1st. Both publications contain
numerous accounts of immense farmer’s
meetings, on the rent question, continued
disturbances among the people, the move
ments of troops, and exciting trials of po
litical prisoners.
The English Government, on the whole,
however, seems to be taking the back
track and does not appear as much dis
posed as formerly to press to trial the nu
merous arrests that have been made. Bail
is offered in most instances. But the ex
cited populace regard this as a weakening
oa the part of Her Majesty’s officials and
in some instances refuse to accept bail at
all.
Under the head of pauperism in Lon
don, the Irish Times says:
Tlie weekly return of Metropolitan pau
perism shows tliat the total number of
paupers on the last day of the second
week in November was 83,732, of whom
45,040 were in workhouses and 88,677 re
ceived outdoor relief. Compared with
tlie corresponding weeks in the years 1878,
1877 and 1870, these figures show an in
crease of 4,528, 3,838 and 3,161 respect
ively. The number of vagrants relieved
on the last day of the week was 886, of
whom 654 were men, 183 women and 49
children under 16.
The Herring Safe.
Most of our readers have heard of and
seen tlie celebrated Herring “Patent
Champion Fire and Burglar Proof Safes,”
but probably have no adequate conception
of their value and the immense patron
age extended to the proprietors.
Tlie safe was patented and the first fac
tory established in 1841. It is therefore
(lie oldest invention of the kind in-the
United States.
Step by step have improvements been
added until now it seems well nigh abso
lutely perfect. This safe will resist almost
any degree of heat, and is able to with
stand the shock of a fall without detri
ment from tho upper floors of the loftiest
building. The filling is composed of a
mixture of carbonate of lime and epsoin
salts. The heat drives off tbe carbonic
acid gas, and the substance forms an im
penetrable barrier to tbe action of tbe
flames. The usual filling of other safes
is a concrete cement, mixed with water,
which is claimed to be far less efficacious.
Some specimens, rescued from the Boston
and Chicago fires, show how wonderfully
these iron cases are able to preserve in
tact their contents from the effects of the
most terrific conflagrations. By degrees,
too, they have been so improved and beau
tified as to be transformed into neat and
even handsome ornaments to the store or
parlor.
Messrs. Herring & Co., since beginning
•peraliens, have manufactured and sold
no less than filly thousand fire-proof safes,
exclusive of burglar-proof safes, express
boxes, etc. They are sent to every por
tion of the habitable world. During the
visit of the writer to their great depot on
Broadway, New York, last fall, the pro
prietors were shipping out two safes to
Stockholm, Sweden, one to Yokohoma,
and another to Shanghai. Many go to
South America, the West Indies and Aus
tralia. Their principal factory in New
York employs more than 200 operatives.
Safes of every size are manufactured, and
the locks and combinations are perfect
models of skill and ingenuity. We saw
specimens for banks worth $30,000.
Tlie importance of those secure recepta
cles for papers and valuables can hardly
be overestimated.
Indeed, the Code of Georgia, in section
497, makes it obligatory on the Ordinaries
ot the several counties to provide fire
proof safes for the records and archives of
the Courts, deeds, wills, etc. As many as
seventy-one counties in this State, in com
pliance with the law, have been furnished
with safes by Messrs. Herring;& Co., and
they sell great numbers also to private
parties and public institutions.
Mr. R. J. Wiles, the gentlemanly and
energetic agent of the company, is now in
our city, and ready to take orders, which
will all be promptly filled.
Tiie Booms.—The Boston Herald says
the Grant boom is declining. The New
York Tribune says the Sherman boom has
taken a fresh start, and now gives promise
ofleaving all other booms far in the rear.
The Blaine boom is just now exercising
itself mainly on the question of locating
the Republican Convention. Cincinnati
will not do—too much Grant and Sher
man. Chicago won’t do, because it is all
Grant. St. Louis ditto—Philadelphia the
same. Indianapolis is the point, says
Blaine. The Philadelphia papers say
there is no boom worth talking about ex
cept the Grant boom, and that is all per
vading. The Boston papers have some
what to say about the tactics of the Grant
managers in shipping him off to Cuba for
the winter, and reserving the New York
demonstration for spring. The booms
are all jealous of each other.

Lee and'Graat
Lee’s surrender to Grant was a ceremo
ny simple enough, and will probably nev
er be a scene put on canvas. Colonel
Schaffner, who was with General Grant,
said to a writer in the Courier Journal re
cently that when on the road to Appro-
mattox, he found an occasion to ride be
side Grant, “and,” he adds, “after much
circumlocution I said to him that as the
surrender would be formal and ceremo
nious. as I supposed, I wanted to have a
sketch made at the time in order to have
a huge painting made of it for tho Capi
tol. Having listened to what I had to
say, he very quietly and with some senti
ment remarked that ho would not liko to
see such a picture, nor was it his inten
tion to liavc a surrender with ceremony.
He continued for somo minutes, stating
among other things that “these are our
people,”, and it would have a bad effect to
humiliate them. “They are not foreign
ers, but they belong to us and we to them;
and all we want is for them to stop fight
ing, and for us all to live at peace and as
a Union.” I made a slight effort to change
his views upon the subject, and expressed
the opinion that fhture generations should
see the end of an attempt to destroy the
Union. He answered that tho traces of the
armies left evidences more than sufficient.
* * * After the surrender had been
concluded, Lee requested Grant to inform
him if the terms of his letter permitted his
private soldiers to take with them their
private property. Grant examined tho
letter and said he thought not. Lee re
sponded that ho so understood it, and that
he desired to know, as all Ids cavalrymen
owned their horses. Grant then very
promptly said he did not know that, but
he would give orders to allow them to take
their horses, as they would be needed to
cultivate their crops. Lee answered, “I
thank you; it will have a good effect with
the people.”

From the proceedings we make the fol
lowing extract:
On motion the Constitution was amen
ded, and the President required to observe
as far as practicable, parliamentary form
in the debate and proceedings.
The question of the day’s discussions,
“The Clement Attachment,” was called,
A. A- Adams read an article on ' the sub
ject, as requested at the last meeting.
Quite an interesting discussion, all favor
ing the new enterprise, eneued. Over $6,-
000 was offered by members present to-:
wards establishing an experimental fac
tory at the fair ground, and a committee
was appointed to receive subscriptions
a*d confer with the directors of tbe
Americus Fair Associatiom on the subject.
The committee are J.H. Black,'Judge C.
pany with Mr. Moynaliau, to pay a sick
call, and the two- were ;returning to
Athens when the accident occurred. The
streams, usually low and easily forded,
were greatly swollen by the recent heavy
rains, and in attempting to ford one of
tliem they were swept down by tlie flood
and both drowned. Tlie bodies were re
covered yesterday afternoon and carried
to Athens. Father Doyle's remains will
be conveyed to Washington to-day, for in
terment at that place. Mr. Moynahon's
relatives in New York have been tele
graphed to as to the disposition to be made
of his body. -r
Father Doylo is a native of Ireland. He
came to this country a short time ago and
last December was ordained a priest in
Savannah, having completed his theologi
cal studies in Ireland and Canada. Hi
was assigned to duty ou the mission men.
tioned above and has been there since that
time, closely engaged in the duties .of hi*
office, having a large extent of country to
visit. He was only twenty-four years of
age at the time of his death.
3D. Moynaliau was from New York
City* a young man and unmarried.
.We learn from the Monroe Advertiser
that the negroes of Monroe county are
making contracts for next year’s labor,
and that the exodus boom is dead. Also,
that six of the good citizens of Forsyth,
each having $25 of money for which he
could find no profitable employment con
cluded to buy 100 bales of cotton futures.
The telegram to the broker was duly sent
and just about that time a break in the
market occurred in New Yoifar and tha
broker telegraphed for $250 more, as the
first margin was gone. Before the six
had fairly recovered another dispatch
came for $250 more, as cotton had declin
ed still further. Then, as the Psalmist
would say, “the heathen raged.” They
were mighty close on to being heathens,
judging from the emphatic way they ex
pressed themselves. The English lan
guage was inadequate and tlie Chinese
was employed. It was impossible to col
lect the-six together in one body. The
very sight of each other made them sick,
Chronicle and Constitutionalist: The
Citizens’ Association are determined that
their race meeting at the fair grounds, in
January, shall be tlie most interesting
event of the kind that has ever taken place
in this section. In addition to other at
tractions, it has been decided to have a
Roman hippodrome chime race. All the
preliminaries have been arranged with
Sir. H. W. Hixley, now at Pontiac, Illi
nois, and he will bring his four horses and
the celebrated riders, G. II. Loflis and B,
T. Clieno, to Augusta in time for the ra
ces. The horses run in pairs, bareback,
the ridqrs standing erect, one to each pair,
Around the body of each horse is a chime
of bells. The riders will be in costume,
There will be one of those races on each
day. The first two days there will be a
half mile dash and the second two, half
mile heats, best two iu three. The horses
run abreast, and it requires much skill,
address and courage in tlie riders to main
tain their positions while tlie animals are
dashing around the track at full speed
The chime races have attracted large
crowds in the West wherever they have
been nm, and will he a novelty in Au
ta.. The Association have added this!
uro to their already attractive programme,
at great expense.
A Washington dispatch to the N. Y,
Tribune, says that army officers just ar
rived from the West report that a general
belief of an immediate Indian war pre
vails in military circles. They say that,
notwithstanding the favorable termina
tion of the Los Pinos negotiations, the
Ute nmrdcjers will net he given up. Gen
eral Sherman has said nothing oil tlie sub
ject; and his order keeping General Mac
kenzie at Fort Garland is inteipreted to
mean that trouble is anticipated.
Long indulgence in over eating or
drinking produces a disorganized liver,
and all tlie evils attendant upon such de
rangements; depression of sprits, habitual
costiveness, nervous exhaustion, indiges
tion; pain in the head, with nausea; full
ness of stomach after meals, dullness, gen
eral debility and languor, Seek from
Simmons’ Liver Regulator, ,

such like diseases.” W. S. Holt, ■

An Important Personal Item.
Charles S. Prentice, of Toledo, O., went
to Paris and thence to England to be
treated for Bright’s disease, and after the
best physicians of both countries had done
what they could for him, gave up in des
pair and returned to America to die.
Here he received further treatment from
skillful physicians without benefit, and
while “listlessly lingering iu pain and
anguish,” as lie says, heard of the Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure, took it, and was
completely cured in a few weeks. He
gives circumstantial details of his painful
experience and astonishing cure iu a Ion
