Senator Kibber, who has he m in New York for two mouths investigating the Bond question, tells ns that Georgia's reputation for being safe and sound, po litically and pecuniarily, isowing to the fact that tiie State is under control of the Democratic party. Now this opin ion from him, is not so much his opinion as it is the sentiments of the Bankers an l business men of New York, with wimm lie Lias.ha 1 to dSnl in his osilmosL war< researches after important facts: !tvt -d who should know better than they ? Miave they not been in positions where ,'tue finance; an i the (.oven,mental pe -1 cuniary proceedings have been made clear to them Ironi Bullock’s reign up to now? It was thought investigation, and ac cusations of foul play against Bullock and Blodgett and their blood-thirsty crew that listened on Georgia's spoils an ! ill-gotten pelt, during the rotten rad ical domiuaucy, w.til all the spurious bon Is cvc, would ruin the ere.lit of Geor gia, and make her worse than a pauper State. Wo ask, so far as investigations have gone, have they not rather tended to strengthen the State, to build her up fi nancially, an t !* establish a co hi lenco for her that will last in the records of history, an 1 be a bright pagein bet-pro gressive life, i hat will live untarnished ii her archives for all time? At our last Legislature, numbers of our Icgisla'ors were f i,'m/.y. and were on the fence, not knowing which side it woul 1 be best to fall on. They did not want to pay the bogus boo Is, and they did not want Georgia to declare herself unwilling to pay the obligation she had ma le throng)) bad men. We think ail such matter ; should be 1 inked squarely in the face, and all de partures lrom C >.)s‘itotiou.il right and j isticc shout I be condemned by the strong arm of ri {hbotis r 'presentation. • n i Wry aloud and spare no*.should be the insignia upon every standard in the Idcmo'cnitii' ranks, and “be jest and fear not" shoal 1 be the motto embla zoned on every mast-hen l of ships of State. Spare What? Spare n> in udt or on crcaclanent upon the State's honor or financial reputation ; spare no man, or men. who for self-agraudixement will Abus ■ the high privileges an 1 trusts re posed in them by and honest and im suspe ■ting people. U neart'i fraud, re pudiate debts if necessary that for par t sail purposes, an i priva'e speculation hive been heaped upon helpless tax payers repeal laws that are in juxtapo sition to the constitution, and all legal malformations and fright,fill deformities of a people's rights under the misno mer of law. and if your constitill ion is a mockery of the chart of a free and un fettered people. why have a Convention and revise it? Do all this if necessary, and do it feur(esnf.ji with f.n rye to the tranquility and good of your State Government, and it will redound to the firm estalv- Lshment of fixed principles that will make our reputation and credit contin ually more stable. \ Forth".

It now numbers four handsome stores, anti another shortly in prospect— Mr. McLeond. from Savannah, making the fourth. The others are S. L. 1 Vtorson, Beddiugikdd & Murpyey and S. It. Strauss, all live men and wide awake to the interest of Bethany in general, and their own interest in prtienlar. Several new buildings are going up an l ihe .sound of the ax. saw an I ham me"greet the car from morning till night,. It, is said that, "straws show which way the wind blows.” Already the in dications are that New Bethany is soon to become a village of no mean preten tions.

Monday the 1 lthin4. wrath.: r:turn of the 80th birthday of Dr. Ken dall. which by some means, some of his neighbors bad found out, and determin ed to give a pleasant surpDe. j | fl was in Louisville that day, and did not get lion\e'till so®* 1 time in the night, and , <ju 'surprised sure enough to iiud Lis .Tj. • * * pardor crowded with smiling visitors? W arm and hearty greetings and a cor dial welcome quickly followed, when music was called for. The sweet tones o 'the piano aft 1 violin soon began to make the heels of all the young, and gome of the older ones tingle, and im mediately or sooner, all were on their pegs ready for a hop. Dancing—by that name—not being allowed, it was introduced under another name, “steal ing partners,” ami all wentoir merry as a marriage bell. The old Doctor and his excellent lady enjoyed the amuse ment, ami seemed as much delighted as their guests. But what was his sur prise when the music stopped, and each guest advanced and politely tendered him a handsome present! Yes a hand some present. What followed was something else. Mr. li, remembering the occasion,had not been unmindful of the duty of a goo 1 wife in making preparation for a goo 1 supper for her lege 1 >rd. Mr. Mo Leou 1 and his excellent ladg (wiio by the way, was the mover and getter up of the whole proceeding) had brought no less than four full grown cakes and a whole family of knick-knacks and delica cies, which together with Mrs. It's outfit, and a line jar of bran iy peaches, a table was set out fine enough for a wedding After enjoying the refreshment all re turned to the parlor arid passe l off the time in social chit chat till the clock st ruck 11 when when the festive occasion closed with a friendly good night, and all retired to their respective homes, leaving the Doctor to dream of corn shellers, buckskin gauntlets, suspenders, towels, pocket hanskerchiefs, &0., &c., &c.

Address W. A. ll;;Mi’inu, & Cos., Atlanta, On. Ilob Toombs made a speech in Wash ington, Wilkes county, the other day, in which he declared himself a hard-money man, as he always had been. We believe it is generally admitted that Robert is a hard case, with or without the money. A ilapi-y SecoNciuA’noxv—Under this head the Atlanta correspondent of the Chronicle <s• Sentinel writes a3 fol lows : It gives me plfeasute to announce to your readers that thorough and cordial friendship has been restored between cx-Governor Ilerseliel V. Johnson and Governor Smith, This gratifying result was attained through the instrumentali ty of mutual friends of botli the gentle men who had been at varience. To the credit of both when approached upon the subject, they were found to be more than willing to terminate "the late un pleasantness,” and blot out all that had ever passed between them that was dis agreeable. Neither hesitated or exacted of tilts other any conditions, but each agreed to drop tiie matter forever and remember tiieir differences no more. Those who interested themselves to bring about this result did so from the purest motives, having a very warm per sonal friendship for both the distinguish ed gentlemen, and anxiously desiring to sec them at peace, speak in terms of high commendation of tiie spirit mani fested by each one, and of the readiness of which each.seceded to a just and rea sonable proposition. This good work was effected some months ago but it lias not heretofore been made known to tiie public through the press or otherwise. n m -- -Tm ■> ■> CLIPPINGS. Rev. George C, Smith, pastor of the Methodist church at Barnesville, is pre paring a history of Methodism in Geor gia. Little Johnny Summers, aged 119, has just died in Morgan county, Indi ana. His father was cutoff in the flow er of his 119th summer. Hampton Lockett, negro, died in Up son county last week, lie was over one hundred years old, but picked fifty pounds of cotton on the day of his death. At a low estimate, Georgia pays §SOO, 000 annually for imported wagons, which could lie more cheaply made at home, and this large sum saved to iicr people. Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens is an nounced as a lecturer in one of the iv ceum couises in Chicago, for which lie is to receive §I,OOO. Tiie Chattanooga Commercial frank ly says, “nearly all the really fine wheat handled here this season lias been drawn from North Alabama and North Georgia. There is. of course a grout deal of good wheat in the river valley, but those who have it seem to think that there's millions to be mi le by holding it. Meat has advanced rapidly within tiie past few days. It is not due to scar city. but to the speculative spirit pre vailing among the capitalist ofthe north and \Y est. At tiie same time cotton is going down, and Southern farmers are compelled to buy meat which they could better have raised at home. The President does not impress any one very much by his public speeches, but when he bawls at his nigger boy, “Sam, fetch me that corkscrew,” his words are not without effect. The Dalton Enterprise very truthful ly says; Farewell to the pomp and glory of any town that sutlers its local press to die out because the people, the merchants, aud the property holders, withhold froinitthoir support. The United States Senate in Decem ber will consist of forty-three republi cans, twenty-nine democrats, and two independents. The house of represen tatives stands, 171 democrats. 202 re publicans, fi independents and G to be elected in Mississippi. The recent advance in bacon is thus very sensibly referred toby the Colum bus Enquirer: The Northern Granger asks a high price for his meat and gets it; the Southern one desires the same for his cotton and utterly fails, and declining to raise hisown meat, which lie can easilv iio, pays the Western brother his prices. Too Muni Instiwt—The instinct of Newfoundland dogs to save a drown ing person has been somewhat painfully tested by an unlucky frenchman, lie was walking in the country with a friend, who possessed a magnificent Newfoundland, and incautiously ques tioned the truth of the animal's sagaci ty. The dog’s master, vexed at the slurs cast on his favorite, gave his friend a push and knocked hint into a shallow river. “Turk” immediately sprang in, and siezing one of the im mersed man's coat tail's, commence l to switn lor land. Unfortunately another Newfoundland, trotting along by the other side of the river, saw the affair, and also came to the rescue. Dog No. 2 seized the othpr tail of the coat and wished to swim back to his master; •• I'urk’ held fast and struggled for his side, anti the owner of the coat cried in vain for help. At last the coat gave way, and each Newfoundland swam proudly home with a piece of cloth in liis mouth, so that “Turk's” master was obliged to plunge in himself to save his friend. —London Graphic.
