Colorado, December 1G.— To Carl Scluux, Secretary of tlie Interior, Washington: Yours of yesterday just received. While traveling home ytrar dis patch of the Pth was received by us on tho 11th. and communicated to Ouray, who hnmediately left for the camp of tlie White Kiver Utes to hurry up tlieir move ments. Before tlie receipt of your dis patch. one of the twelve designated by us aa Douglas had been brought in, bat we imtnMted Ouray to keep him and the Others until the full number was ready to be delivered. Before I left I understood that a few others were at his house^but not all. which was hardly to bq Expected, as only five days had elapsed, with the snow very deep, traveling slow and the Indians much scattered. I consider the surrender an accomplished fact, andean- net drink of the possibility that it can be prevented, although Gen. natch may be delayed in bringing them out. as the snow fall in that country his been unpreceden ted, and transportation can hardly be obtained. Further designation in Wash- iagttm as to the rose.-- Asa Ml be Msh of aocompibhment than our task so far, Ch.veias Adams. Th* Wasuixotox Moxumext.—The joint ob completion of the Washington monament submitted a detail ed report to the House, to-day, showing that $67,903 had been expended in the weak of strengthening the foundation, leaving available $52,006 of the appropria tion for that purpose. They have expen ded S3R331 upon the completion of the monument, leaving $0S,&10 available of the appropriation for that purpose. The total amount unexpended of the appropria tions «"d now available for carrying on the wotk is $100,739- This amonnt will he snttdeat to complete the strengthening of the foundation, providing tlie iron taf the inierior stairway for two I and fifty feet; to construct a shaft, and to add twelve feet to the height of the mODUment. To continue tlie work nntil October 31, 1881, will require $300,000 additional and to complete. the shaft to the proposed height of 500 feet will require $077,625. A Grave Question. Somewhere between five-sixths, atul nc-tcuths of the actual currency of the nit' I (staic.i ' ■ alvriiys be paper. ,,Tbe great question underlying all these cur rency movements In Congress is, there fore. simply this: Who shall supply this paper currency? Who shall multiply in definitely these representatives of value, and under what guarantee* are they to be issued and find circulation? It is a very grave question. It involves many millions of profits to tlie speculative classes, and all history Is a lie if it does not involve ques tions of millions of loss to the great body of tlie American people—that great mass who must draw their subsistence from daily labor of Iiead or hands. No one, tliercfore, should be surprised to see the persistence with which this currency question Is enforced on Congress and the excitement which attends its discussion. The advocates of a bank paper currency are most ingenious in placing themselves ami their opponents in precisely tlie posi tion which neither is entitled to occupy. In the first place, they claim to be “hard money men” when they are really local hank paper men—lor all their schemes re solve themselves into a currency composed of local bank paper. But they say this liank paper is redeemable in gold and sil ver on demand. It is so printed on the hills, and is, in point of fact, so redeema ble—alien it is to redeemable. But one thing everybody knows who is old enough to remember twenty years—that the prac tical effect of such a currency is to banish hard money from circulation. Next they plead that all Democratic precedent is in their favor—that the Dem ocratic party has always been a hard money party, Yes, but it was in opposi tion to these very banking institutions that Jackson, Benton and the old hard money Democrats put the party on liard money basis. They were for hard money as against ail bank bills, which the experience of that time had shown to he untrustworthy. No one now contends for a purely metalic currency; but the next approach to it is a paper currency bearing the most indubitable guaranties of value, anil the least liable to perish in the hands of holders. They style their opponents inflationists,- but if any contrivance for inflation can be invented equal to the creation of thou sands of local banks, scattering their due bills ad libit urn over the face of the coun try, we never have heard or conceived of one. Its fatal activity in inflation and explosion, have been the financial history of America for the past hundred years. And now tlie question is, what kind of a paper currency are we to have in the future? AVe arc about, it seems, to make a new dejiartiire. Tlie Constitution, it is said, is violated by making United States Treasury notes a legal tender. There is no such warrant in that instrument. Tlie hank men are tender of the constitution, except wlieu it strongly prohibits tlie .Status from issuing “bills of "credit,” and tlicn they attach no meaning to it. But our reading is vain if that prohibition did not confine the whole business of furnish ing whatever should circulate as money to the Federal Government alone. AVhat jelse did or coulil it mean? Accordingly, the paper now ill circulation, being either the direct obligations of tlie govenunent or issued under its sanction as trustee for tlie people, is undoubted. Countless mil lions would have been saved to the masses liad this provision been enforced. But there tlie prohibition still stands and tliere are tlie contemporaneous argu ments in the Federalist, showing what losses had occurred and might occur to the people, and what misunderstandings might arise with foreigu governments, if this power of issuing paper liabilities re mained with the States. The constitution in any just interpretation thereof as we believe forbids tlie issue of any of tlie whole tribe of paper liabilities. But whether it docs or not the impor tance to the people of a thoroughly relia ble currency caunot be overstated. Our paper currency, as it now stands, is better than any we ever had, aud a departure in to the field of speculative banking will be woeful change for the worse, unless some scheme can lie elaborated to make it a groat deal better than it ever has been. Public Meeting of the Citizens of MacOn OH the lease of the Kacon and Brunswick Railroad. Editors Telegraph?;'and ilsrtenger.— As the 30th instant is near i at hand we 'recommend that the people of the city of Macon and of the county of Bibb, meet at the City Hall on Saturday, the 20th inst., at 12 o'clock, for the purpose of appoint ing delegates to the Railroad Convention on the’ 30th inst.

Macon, More Trouble in Ireland. Cablegrams from London, received as late as the loth instant report increased excitement among tlie people on account of rent difficulties and tlie terrible scarcity of food that prevails. Occasion ally acts of violence occur. Thus on Saturday in the porch of the Limerick county Club House Lord Fermoy was felled senseless to the pavement by a blow- struck with a cudgel in tlie hands of an evicted tenant. Tlie assailant was arrest ed. Another dispatch says: Messrs. Davitt, Daly and Killcn left Carrick-on-Shannon to-day for Dublin. They were accompanied to the railway station by a large crowd, and a band ring Irish airs. The attorney-general arrived at Carrick-on-Shannon last” night, and was escorted to his lodgings by twenty armed policemen. One, Mr.Killen, and probably the others of the three prisoners, liad refused previ ously to accept the bail offered them. Things must be pretty squally over there wlien the highest counsellor of the gov enunent requires a body guard when in attendance upon his duties. Now is the time for England to show her liberality and generosity to the suffering Irish by large concessions and substantial aid for their material wants. This would have a more tranquilizing effect than the largest standing anny. An Attempted Fraud. We learn from the Constitution that a man by tlie name of L. P. Lery, of 68 Broadway, New York, is advertising for sale a large number of the State of Geor gia bonds at fifty cents. This is an open attempt to revive and put upon the mar ket the old bonds issued during the Radi cal administration of the State govern ment, and repudiated by the present Con stitution. There are no bonds of the State worth less than 107 to-day. The advertisement which places these bonds upon the market, states that they will be sold at fifty, and that past due coup-ms, from 1S74, go with the sale. Any one who can read, most lie aware that Georgia is not in arrears with the interest upon lier bonded debt, and money invest ed in these securities might as well be cast to the winds, with tlie expectation that the whirlwind will return it multi plied fourfold. The advertisement also offers bonds of the city of Atlanta, which are pronounced by the press of that city, as worthless. Necbo Exodus to Kansas.—A St. Louis dispatch of Thursday says the ne gro exodus from Texas to Kansas con tinues. A considerable number of colored people pass through Dallas daily, bound to that State. On the other hand, quite a number have returned, stating that they have been deceived concerning Kansas. Brunswick, Middle and South Georgia cannot afford to remain qnict and see this important outlet to the ocean pass out of tlieir reach and perhaps even into the hands of mimical parties. In any event, liowever, tlie moral effect of the conven tion and its deliberations must be saluta ry in the premises. In this connection we invite attention also to a call for a meet ing of the citizens of Jones county to se lect delegates to the convention, and our advices are that the people on the line of the road and its proposed" extension to Covington and Atlanta are fully aroused likewise to the importance of being prop erly represented In that body. AVe learn that the convention, on the 30th inst., will also assemble in the City Hall, which is placed at their disposal. The Proposed Repeal of Legal Ten der United States Notes. In corrobration of the masterly argu ment of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, against Mr. Bayard's bill for the repeal of the “legal tenders” that sagacious and in fluential New York journal, the Commer cial Bulletin, makes this emphatic deliv erance : Now, in all the large money centres of the United States and of Great Britain, coin anil bank notes only compose about five per cent, of the daily payment! into anil out of the banks. Hence tlie with drawal of the legal tender attribute of the United States notes would be of little im portance, were it not for tlie clause of the National Bank Act which compels the great money centres to keep on hand, at all times, in lawful money, 25 per cent, of tlieir entire deposits. AVithdraw the legal tender attribute of United States notes, and immediately the amount of legal money within reach of the banks will be diminished to the extent of $346,000,- 000 and hence they will be forced at once largely to diminish tlreir loans to tlreir dealers, which compose 95 per cent, of the instruments with which the large mone tary operations of the whole country are effected. Should such a measure be enacted by Congress, a severe monetary panic would be inevitable, and all the op erations of industry, commerce, the Stock Exchanges attd banking throughout the country, brought to a sudden standstill. AVill Congress and the public press aid in bringing such a disaster on the country by joining in the senseless outcry against the legal tender notes, which are, at present, tlie foundation of all the monetary opera tions of tlie country? This certainly is sensible talk. AVhat better circulation can we have than a cur rency hacked up by the imprimatur and whole power of the United States govern ment? If such a guaranty is not suffi cient, why is it that oven the lowest Fed- eral bonds are in such universal request? And why is it that even the greenbacks that are not legal tenders, command in New York this day a premium over gold? AVe had hoped that the financial question had been settled, at least temporarily, aud would form no disturbing element in the present Congress. But the Democrats seem fated to throw away the trumps they hold every time. The new Federal Western Circuit, with Macon as its headquarters, will embrace the counties of Bibb, Monroe, Jones, Twiggs, Houston, Crawford, Bald win, Wilkinson, Laurens, Pulaski, Dooly, Macon, Taylor, Upson, Putnam, Han cock, Warren, Schley, Marion, Talbot, Harris, Muscogee, Chattahoochee, Stewart, Webster, Lee, Terrell, Randolph, Quit- man, Clay, Quitman, Dougherty, Baker, Early, Miller and Mitchell. In addition to the above tljo counties of Pike, Butts and Jasper will be annexed from the Northern Circuit. The number of offi cers and marshals will not be increased. The division is made simply for the ac commodation of Middle and Southwes tern Georgia, and will no doubt become * law. Fair and Festival. The ladies of Vineville, in order to raise money to make some very needful repairs to the church building, hold a fair and festival to-night, at which they would be pleased to see their friends and the pub lic generally.

He had made arrangements for coming up to Augusta to purchase Christmas goods, and it is supposed had a considerable sum of mon ey in the store for that purpose. It is said he instructed a negro named Anderson Jones to call him early in the morning, in time to take the passenger train for Augusta, having frequently called upon Jones for similar services before. We also heard it stated that Jones slept in the store, so as to be certain about calling Harralson. Yesterday morning the store was closed, hut as it was known that Harralson was coining to Augusta no at tention was paid to the fact. About 12 o’clock, however, Harralson’s little brother went to the store and opened the door, when a horrible scene met his gaze. His brother was lying on the floor dead, In a pool of blood, his head crushed by a hatch et whicli was near-by.- The boy-at onoo raised the alarm, and in a short time sev eral neighbors gathered at the spot. Tho unfortunate young man had evidently been killed for the purpose, of robbery, as his money was gone. The negro Jones was missing, and suspicion was directed to him as the: murderer. As it was supposed that he ' had come to Au gusta, a messenger was sent on the freight.train td inform the police. This he did promptly, and Jones was found In a short time near the depot. He denied all knowledge of tlie murder, and said he was on his way to South Carolina to get married. He declared that he came to Augusta on the morning passenger train, but the employees of the road on that train, stated that lie did not. The police were also informed that Jones was seen in Augusta yesterday morning before the train arrived. He told one of tlie officers that he was at Mr. Harralson’s store late Monday night,at which time he paid an ac count that lie owed at the store. Jones was lodged in the guard house to await an investigation. Harralson was a quiet, hard working young man. His mother fives a short dis tance from the station. Sfabta Ishmaelite: The folly of car rying coal to Newcastle is not near so marked as that of those Georgians who go AVest in search of either health or wealth.

But, then, these men are kin to Adam; and it will be remembered as of record, that he was not contented even in rai Again it will be noticed that Adam did not better his surroundings by “going AVest.” His kinsmen who are leaving Georgia for even less cause, will in all human probability fare worse. Neghoes Cut.—Savannah News: A row occurred at St. Phillips’s colored Methodist Church on Monday night, about eleven o’clock, which resulted in the cut ting of two of the combatants. It appears that one of the societies connected with the church was holding anniversary, and and a grand banquet was spread. The first table was over, and the guests were being seated to the second table, when a number of negro ruffians, who were out side, attempted to gain admittance to tho hall uninvited. They made a rush for the door in a body, but were confronted by Elder AV. II. Nobles and several of the trustees, who heroically barred their pas sage. A fight ensued between one of tho trustees and a number of the gang, which culminated iu a general row. During the melee a colored man named AVilliams, re siding on Pine street, was seriously stabbed in the back, and another negro, whose name is not known, received a gash with a razor on the head. Dr. Coker, colored, who was present at the entertainment, attended to AVilliams’ wound. The other wounded man was taken home by his friends. The ruffians, after much difficulty, were driven away and order was partially restored, but tho festivites were shortly afterwards con cluded. It is reported that one of the ringleaders of this shameful outrage was a negro named Brooks. There were no policemen about at the time, and consequently no arrests were made. Subsequently, how ever, a nogro named Adam AVilliams, was arrested and arraigned before the police court yesterday, and fined $10 and thirty day’s imprisonment. Athens Banner: The bodies Of Father Doyle and Mr- Moynihau remained at Mr. Lafferty’s, Monday night, and were placed on the train yesterday morning to be conveyed to AVaslungton, AVilkes coun ty, for burial. A Catholic convent is at that place, and a Home for Orphan Boys, in charge of the Catholic Sisters. Sharon, which was Father Boyle!* place of resi dence, is but ten or fifteen miles from AVasliington. A priest was to meet the remains at Barnett, and go with them to AVasliington to perform the last sad rites. Persons who saw the bodies after they were brought back to the city say they had none of the usual appearance of the dead except the rigidness. They were placed in warm water till the rigidity was relaxed, and then they seemed as if only quietly resting in sleep. No distortion of the features was apparent, nor even the pallor of death. Southern Enterprise: On last Friday, little Tommie, the three year old son of Mr. AV. P. Coyle, our worthy sheriff, was standing in front of the fireplace at home, the mantlepiece suddenly toppled over without any warning and struck the little fellow just a little back of the top of his head. The blow cut the scalp and tore it away from the skull for some two inches or more, scraping the bone clean and lay ing it bare, but fortunately not injuring it at all. The weight of the mantlepiece at the same time threw him forward and bruised his forehead badly. Dr. Taylor was called in and dressed his wounds, which operation the little fellow bore with a fortitude that might well be emu lated by many older persons. AVe' are glad to be able to report that he is rapidly recovering and will speedily be well again. • - AVabeenton Clipper: On last Mon day about 9 or 10 o’clock Mr. AVilliam Barksdale, a prominent planter in the- westem portion of this county,-was sud denly killed in the following manner: He went down under the gin house to see j something about the horses or the gearing, i and, without warning, was inextricably caught, by the gearing and killed. Mr. Barksdale was one of the most substan, tial men of this county. He was above sixty years old, and has always been a very careful man, and this unexpected oc currence is almost unaccountable. He leaves a liuge family to mourn his loss. Sadness broods over our entire county. J. P. STEVENS & CO. WILE am RETAIL JEWELERS, 34 Whitehall Slreet, Atlanta, Georgia.
