The Georgia Legislature done but
one thing during its rocent session
that gave universal satisfaction to tbe
people of the State, and that was
when it adjourned. And it took thorn
just forty-three days to do that.
The session of the Georgia Legisla
ture(Jlist closed turned out only nine
hundred and forty-five bills—seven
hundred and three being introduced
in the House and two hundred and
forty-two in the Senate.
The Atlanta Constitution is publish
ing the evidence brought out by the
joint special committee appointed by
the General Assembly to investigate
the bribeyy charges against the State
Road lessees in order to show that
the $5,000 that paper received from
Gov, Brown for publishing articles
favoring the lease was not a bribe,
but a simple “business transaction,”
legitimatized by Mr. Hemphill’s con
struction of “newspaper ethics.”
Veky appropriately, the president
Bmed the Centennial bill with a pen
Bfrom the wing of an eagle—a rc-
Bt "irate of the air, and about
Bk.ifall known birds of prey.

Mrs. U. S. Quant has received a
letter from some person in Cincinnati
enclosing a dollar, “which,” the writer
says, “you will please sec the secretary
of the United States treasury gets for
tbe purpose of forming what shall be
known the voluntary sinking fund,
for the liquiration of the debt of the
United States:” Ho or she requests
contributions from one cent upwards,
and thinks that in a few years the
sum would be a power not to be
dispised. The letter is headed, “De
spise not the day of small lliings.” It
has no punctuation marks, and is
simply signed “A Buckeye.”—Wash
ington Star.
Wk bad tlie extreme pleasure one
night last week of meeting and shaking
bands with Hon. A. H. Smith of
Jjiiuuiles, the only member of the
Georgia Legislature who did not in
troduce a bill or make a speech during
the late session of our law-makers,
who was on his way home from At
lanta. Mr. Smith was a member of
the judiciary and other important
committees of the House, and was ac
tive in the faithful discharge of his
duties, but he never opened his mouth
to say “Mr. Speaker” during the en- i
tiro session, although lie was one of
the ablest debaton in the House. He
said that he had no bills to introduce
for his own county, had no- desire to
tinker with the code, and that he saw j
no necessity for but three bills that!
■were introduced by other representa
tives. “There were a number of good
speakers in the House,” said he, “but |
they had nothing to speak about, and
there was not a good speech made dur
ing'the session; I did not hear a single 1
one that I would care to farther.” If i
Georgia had enough such representa- !
tives as Mr. Smith in her legislature |
she would .save enough per diem in a
few years to pay the last cent of her j
public debt.

Mr. Marcellos E. Thornton, of At- j
lauta, lias made a bet that lie can eat
one partridge a day for thirty consec
utive days. The between
the parties is, that the birds may be
prepared in any style Mr. Thornton
desires, served with any aceompani
menisßLat he may name, and eaten at
any time of the day— the only inexo
rable point of tlie wager being that he
shall stow away one full bird every
day. The Atlanta Courier predicts
that Mr. Thornton will have trouble,
as it has been tried in every country
on earth, and only one man, a Chica
go gentleman, with a copper-bot
tomed stomach, has ever suceeded in
bagging the thirtieth bird. There is
a peculiar gamy flavor about the quail
that produces nausea about the tenth
or twelfth day, and after that time it
require* hard work to get it down
and still Larder work to bold it there.
The Cnuri.tr does “uot likes to dis
courago Mr. Thornton, but cannot
refrain from calling bis attention to a
little anecdote concerning a somewhat
similar bet made by a Frenchman.
The Frenchman bad a large raw oys
ter lying on the counter of a saloon,
lies bof. a loafer standing by that be
couldn't swali ow an< i hold it. The
loafer promptly dropped it down his
throat, and demanded the money.
“All,” said the Frenchman, you haf
him down, but you will not bold him.
I haf already bad him down three
times, and be haf come np efery time.’
It is not necessary to add that bo at:
once “came up” again.
Our Occasional Correspondent.
Dkvk Rwoirran :—The mind of man
as well as the practice of Rtates and
nations, have undergone a vast change
lin the last one hundred years on the
subject of “Punishment for Death,”
and the writer has, in his day and
timo experienced a more vassalating
I course of thought, than upon any oth
| er subject, nud now at this enlightened
day of civilization ho is not prepared
1 to admit that capital punishment by
death is entirely right, or that its in
flictions does not admit of some very
strong doubts.
It is time that the vestiges of bar
barism and superstition cling to en
lightened civilization with a most re
markable tenacity. We travel hack
over the history of but a lew years to
find the prevalence of customs, sanc
tioned both by society and law, that
would startle men in our day. Per
haps the barbarism of punishment
j has crept down the current of time
into the brighter sunshine of truth
and knowledge longer and farther
j than any other vestige of barbarism,
1 with which the present generation is
j practically acquainted. But a few
j years since society sanctioned many
| kinds of punishments entirely too cru
j el and vindictive for the present time.
I Nay, the time has but recently passed
by when a vast majority of American
citizens thought it entirely right to
punish men severely when there was
no crime—no allegation or pretense
that a criwo or misdemeanor had been
committed or attempted. Men were
! punished for being unfortunate or for
being poor. If a laboring man be
eitee sick for a few days or months,
|or if his house was burned or de
stroyed by the cyclone or flood, or
other providence, aud certain conse
quences ensued therefrom, ho was
forthwith liable to be, and often times
! actually was incarcerated for months
or years in prison. If a man became
indebted to bis neighbor he was de
clared to bo his slave —no longer a
citizen, and his neighbor was author -
| ized and encouraged to follow him
with the most savage cruelties. And
; when crime was committed and puu-
I ishment became necessary and prop
| er, those forms of punishment least
proper to be inflicted, to answer the
! ends of justice, many times was selec
! ted. The whipping post and pillory
have given place to the discipline of a
person. Punishment is now in some
; sort administerial in mercy, and upon
principles of justice, morals and chris
| tianity. We seem to be aiming in our
! criminal jurisprudence, for the most
i part, at the only proper ends of pun
ishment, viz., the protection of society,
and the reformation of the criminal.
! But notwithstanding these great im
provements, the work of reformation
has much yet to do. We have not
j yet ceased to take the lives of men
j because they have committed, or we
judge they have committed a crime
against the laws of the land.
Tlie brief space of the last ten years
past, lias witnessed a great and ex
tensive change in public sentiment
upon this subject in our country, and
we might hope that entire reforma
tion is not far distant, hut for the
number of horrid and unjustifiable
homicides that meet our eyes in the
secular press—the question arises :
What is to he done with the murderer,
lie is too bad to live, and is not tit to
die ? Is there any hope of his refor
mation? Would solitary confinement
for life bring him into repentance and
make a good man of him, or shall we
continue to follow up the old relic of
barbarism—hang him and send him
to eternity with his guilty soul, all
recking with its unrepented of enor
mity? At this point we apprehend
reformation on the subject, has been
caused to stop, to stand still. Phi
| lautliropy and Christianity lias felt the
j necessity of change in the right direc
tion, hut to find a satisfactory substi
tute for the gallows, remains yet to
ho done. The whole of legislation in
tlie United States from its earliest
history to the present day, is said to
he on the side of reform in this re
gard. And Hie same may be said of
the mother country —but without re
form. S.
In closing his remarks, Mr. Beecher
said: “If there is any man ou earth
that has anything to say to my detri
ment, I have now challenged him to
say it. If there is any angel of God,
1 challenge him to say aught against
mo. Aye! Igo farther than that I
challenge the truth from God him

Our Washington Letter,
[Special Correspondence to the Iti:roRTEH. ]
Washington, D. C., Feb. 25, 1870.
The telegraph tells a great deal of
the general work that is going on in
congress and in this city, hut for some
unexplained reason, the great dailies,
with their full corps of correspon
dents, seem lo fuil in showing the in
most workings—they do not penetrate
boymol the outer court of the Temple,
nor seo the inner sanctuary. It is
true they send oil columns of “stuff”
which they cull news but which are
only more or less shre-vd guesses at
what may happen. There i s moro of
an inside life to politics here this year
than ever before. The democrits of
the house were placed in a pecmVir
position almost without hoping for
such an event, they found themselves
in the majority, in the popular branch
of congress. When on the first Mon
day of December the members assem
bled, it was found that a majoiity of
them were new men, unacquainted
with each other, aud in very many
cases without much experience ns leg
islators. It is worse than useless to
deny that there wero very grave dif
ferences of opinions between manv of
these members upon the proper
course to he jiursued, not only for tin
benefit of the country, but of the par
ty. The industries of the country
were paralyzed and tliu people gen
erally impoverished. Yarious theoiiou
had been advanced as to the courses
aud remedy for this condition of af
fairs, aud all of these theories had
representatives upon the floor of con
gress. It has been a most diflieult
and delicate task to unite these rather
incongenons elements, into one homo
genous mass who were ready to sacri
fice individual, aud perhapse long
concerned opinions for the good of the
whole, more particularly us it is hard
ly to he expected that men will sacri
fice their owu political advancement,
as some has been called on to do, for
the general good. Thu task of doing
this arduous work, and at the same
time of combatting the solid phalanx
of Republicans, under the leadership
of so distinguished a parliamentarian
as ex-sepeaker Blaine, has fallen upon
a few of the older members. They
have doue their work nobly, and to
day the democrats in
almost a unit. I said almost, for
there are a few restless spirits like
Holman, of Indiana, who are bour
bons of the worst kind, “forgetting
nothing aud learning nothing,” but
the vast majority of the democrats iu
the House have determined upon a
policy and will abide by it. That
policy will carry them to certain
victory in thejnextjeampaign, notwith
standing the blunders of a few- wrong
headed friends. It can be surmised
in a few words.
lletrenchinent of public expendi
tures is the first plan. The demo
' crats promised this to the people and
jit was no empty pledge as they are
j proving by their acts. The appropri
i ations will be reduced forty millions
of dollars per annum. Think of it,
| one hundred and sixty million of dol
lars saved in one presidential term if
the democrats are successful.
Enough money to pay off the national
debt in twelve years. Is not this
■ enough to secure a grand victory ?
And it is not a promise only, for the
democrats have proven their ability to
jdo this by their action in this con
■ gross. The next plank in the plat
; form is the misdeeds of the republi
j cans, both in congress and in the de
partments. These are being uueartli
led and the record of them will make
the people stand aghast. Tlie ex
pense of the whiskey rings, of St.
Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis and Mil
i waukco will pale into insignificance,
when the frauds aud corruption that
rule in every department of the Gov
ernment are brought to the light of
day, as they will be by tho investiga
tions now being conducted by the
committee of the house The trail of
the serpent is over them all. The
department of justice, (a misnomer
now j has been prostituted for politic
al purposes. The Secretary of States
| office made a place of refuge for bro
j ken down politicians and Emma Mine
! speculators. The treasury hiding
place for thieves and conspirators to
I rob the revenues. The post office an
electioneering medium. The interior!
the shelter for robbers as hold aud j
j shameless as Barabbas or John A.
I Murrell. While the navy department
is rotten from inside to out. All these
j things will bo shown, and with the
retrenchment already secured, they
are sufficient to make the American |
people discard the unfaithful smvants
and select those who have proven
themselves faithful, holiest and capa
ble.
I have dwelt somewhat on the dif
ficulties in the way of speedy action
on the part of the democrats, because
there is a spirit of impatience shown
by some of the democratic papers,
who being removed from the scene of
action, cannot be expected to fully
understand the reasons of what they
consider unnecessary delay upon the
part of the democratic majority. Such j
comments seriously embarass the par
ty here. The members of tlio House |
are about the average of men in intel
ligence. They see what the country j
needs and they also seo the difficulties
iu the way of securing the desired
ond. They aro honest iu their efforts
to satisfy' tho people, and they should
be given time to accomplish tho work.
It will be well done.
The appropriation hills are being
discussed, some of them in the House
and others in the Committee, and it
is said that all ol them are in such a
state of forwardness that they can all
be passed, and tho business of con
gress finished up by the middle of
April. After all the fuss made by the
republicans about the tardiness of
Mr. Randall's committee, it would be
singular to see tho democratic House
ready to adjourn two months in ad
var.ee of the republican Houses usual
time. Tho democratic caucus com
mittee have not yet agreed upon the
finance bill, but it is understood that
n bill will be reported repealing Sher
man’s sham resumption. What oth
ier measures will bo adopted to af
ford relief to the distressed country
are not known. Among those prom
| iuently discussed and coming more in
favor as a moans of putting large
| numbers of men to work and circulat
ing a large amount of money, is the
| passage of the hill guaranteeing the
interest on the bonds of the Texas and
I'aoifie Railroad.
The elections iu Franco have re
sulted in a victory for tho Republi
cans, and it is feared that the extreme
radicals have secured so many mem
bers that it will be difficult for the
more moderate members to control
them. The legitimates have less than
fifty members, while the Bonapartists
have about seventy-five. The Sultan
of Turkey has sent commissioners to
the Hersegovinian in sergeants pro
posing to rebuild their destroyed
hoiuei) ami to grant them the privi
leges claimed, as Austria insists upon
their so doing, it is supposed they
will accept and for the time the in
surrection will cease. But it will on
ly be a temporary suspension, for the
days of Turkish rule iu Europe are
fast drawing *o a close.

Steel vs. Iron Kails.
From the Courier Journal.]
It may be interesting to our renders
to know that a company of capi
talists aro at work looking to tho es
tablishment of a large concern here
for tlio manufactured of steel rails,
and that the enterprise will probably
assume a tangible shape at an early
day. Tho following article from the
Cincinnati limes shows that tho in- j
tluence exerted upon tho market by ]
tho introduction of steel rails is be
coming more apparent every day. j
The continued depression of the
iron market, not only in this country
but also in Europe, is a subject for j
thoughtful consideration. Tho won
derful growth oUthe iron production J
of the world from 1835 to 1805 mar
ked it emphatically ns tho iron ago;
' and during that period was built, al
most our entire system of railrods
J covering over 73,000 miles of track,
and requiring 7,300,000 tons of rail
road iron in its construction. The
annual wear and tear, estimated at!
ten per cent, would require 730,000 1
tons per annum of railroad iron.
Since 1865 Bessemer steel rails have j
been growing in favor and decreasing:
in cost, and today Bessemer plants!
of this country are capable of pro-!
ducing 350,000 (500,000) tons of steel
rails per annum. When it is remem
bered that each steel rail possesses
fully seven times the life of ail iron
rail, is it to bo wondered at that so
many of our iron rail mills are chang
ing their production to merchant
bars? Every ton of Bessemer steel
rails that has been put into the rail
roads of this country for the past ten
years has possessed a wearing life, as
compared to iron rails, as seven to |
one. It requires very lit tie calcula
tion to estimate the required produc
tion of steel rails, not only to cover
the eiuiro wear and tear of all our
roads, but iu a few years to replace
our iron roads with steel mils.
When this is accomplished there
will only be required 73,000 tons per
annum to supply the wear and tare
that iu 1865 required 730,000 ton of
iron. This will account in part for
the decreased production of pig-iron
in the country for three years past.
In 1872 there were produced 2,854-
I 558 tons of pig-iron; in 1873, 2,869,
278 tons, and in 1874, 2,689,413 tons
j—a falling off of about 16 per cent,
in the production of pig-iron in two
years. This was fully equalized by
the low wear and tear of steel rails
that had gone into railroads since
1865.
