THE GEORGIA TELEGRAPH. MACON, Gr A.., ' Baltimore Clubs. ■Oise-fact more of a long catalogue, andlhave done. These prcux chevaliers of the Balti more clubs do not content themselves with as sassination merely. That is all very well as a pastime for a dull hour; so they seek to vary this amusement, growing somewhat monoto nous of late, with a more practical occupation. Whcu tired of killing they take to robbing. Some, like Chapman, when supplied with drink and tobacco, give lead instead of vul gar silver, for payment. Others, _ however, prefer a more dainty expedient, which has a tinge of the humorous quite refreshing. At any hour of the day or night, yon may be stop ped by a facetious “Plug Ugly,” who informs you that his club intends giving a ball next ’reck, and lie presents forthwith some four or five tickets, price one dollar. If, sensible of the honor, you take the tickets, and give up your money, it is well; but should you be ig norant of the consequences, and refuse, you are knocked on the head and rolled into the gutter. I appeal to the citizens of Baltimore if this be not the actual condition of our city. I can bring forward the best names to substan tiate what I say. I have done lor the present with facts. Now for 1 he causes which have reared up this fright ful despotism'of the club and the revolver. It. is no secret that these odious clubs, with their uncouth nicknames, have sprung up in nil our cities since the party of Native Amer icans have come into existence. However this may he, it. would be unjust and untrue to charge upon any political party the fiendish acts of those lawless men who may. for their own purposes, happen to adopt its creed. In the present case, the stigma of these foul deeds cannot bo attributed to the Native American party of Baltimore, for the three policemen already shot were Native Americans; the Dis trict. Attorney. Whitney, whose life is threat ened. is a Native American; the jury who convicted Gambriil, on Friday, are Native Americans. No; the origin and ends of these confederations arc not political. These clubs sire nothing more than the mere off-.courings of society, composed of that vermin which, like rats, infest every civilized community.— Londonand Paris abound with them, but judge and jury do their duty there, and the gibbet and the penitentiary keep down the nuisance. 1 assert that our cities are perilled and our country disgraced by these hnndfulls of com mon ruffians, whose lives are idle, whose hab- its arc abandoned, and whose passions run riot. This is tbo vital point, nnd let me ad- doeo testimony to corroborate it. Go with me to the Baltimore jail. In a room well lighted and aired, and surrounded by some dozen of the same stamp, we find Henry Gambriil, con victed last Friday, of blowing out the brains of policemen Benton, just nine weeks since.— He is a stripling, scarce twenty-one years of age. Tali, slim, pale; his countenance de noting dissipation, and his air that of a loose, disorderly youth. He looks' reflective and troubled, lias remorse for his cowardly crime overtaken him ! Let us see. “So, Gambriil, you were convicted yesterday ?" "yes," he said, in a calculating tone. “ Did you sleep last night J"’ “ Ye9, better than I have done lately; I am glad the suspense is over. I feel easier to-day." “ Have you heard of the mur der lest nighti” "Yes, and it is a bad thing for me.” "IIow so ?” "Why, it will make a great excitement and do me harm. I wish theyhad let it alone.” There is no evidence in these words cither of sensibility or repentance. Noth ing else than a selfish calculation of the chances of an escape from law and justice. This boy Gambriil, kept a drinking saloon, and has co habited with a loose woman for the lost two years. He is the son of a respectable trades man, has brothers and sisters, one of great beauty, just married. One of his brothers is on bail for arson, os already mentioned. This juvenile assassin was calied tho pet of the "Plug Uglies,” nnd hisinflucnce amongst them arose chiefly from his drinking saloon being a place of rendezvous. Going into another room of the jail, similaif to the last, we find here Pe ter Corrie. who assisted Cropps in murdering policeman Rigdon last Friday, at seven o’clock in the evening. lie is a short, thick set man, twenty-five years of age ; his shirt sleeves rolled up to the elbows, displays a brawny arm covered with black hair; his hazel eyes, bright with a malignant expression; his high cheek bones and closely compressed lips, im- jmit mnm;tlilu n 4o Ula fate ; a butcher by trade, bnt for years past given up to drun ken dissipation, and without occupation or means. Ho was arrested on Friday night and brought into prison on Saturday morning, three hours before i saw him. He is leaning against the wall of his cell, his arms folded, and his attitude that of a detected felon. “Where did you get that bruise on the nose ?” I asked him. •* It was a blow from the espatoon of a policeman," he answered, ill atone foil of sup pressed rage. " Well, it might have been worse, for a ball went through your cap, I hear r” ’"Yes, they missed it that time,” he said, id the same sullen tone. His manner and countenance betrayed symptoms of appre hension lest lie might compromise himself by some unwary answer, and so I turned from the eaitifiiu disgust. It was tins Corrie who went into Higdon’s shop and drew his wife a tide, to give Cropps a better aim at his selec. tub victim. He was pursued by officer Cook for several squares, who fired at Corrie re peatedly, which Corrie more than once return ed without eflcet. Here is another specimen of the tribe of the "Flug Uglies.” But let not tlie “ltip Haps” despair, for to them belongs the especial renown of produ cing the greatest villain, if possible that now tenants the Baltimore jail. That fellow, sit ting there on a low stool, in a blue (beck shirt, without vest or coat.—light brown hair, gray eye. pale face, with an expression of brutal malignity, too revolting to contemplate—that wretch is Marion Cropps, twenty-three years old, n " Rip Hap” uy profession, and a drunk en rowdy by calling; no trade or means of livelihood, hut those of robbery and murder. He turned rountl ns I spoke to him. biit stuck 1o his stool. There was a cool indifference, a stolid nonchalance in his air that astonished and .-hocked a beholder. I did not wish to in criminate him, and so said nothing directly about his crime of the previous night, Tuesday Morning, Nov. 16.

Bibb Superior Court. Judge Lamar has despatched a large amount of business during the past week. Tho Com mon Law Docket with the exception of three or four cases has been disposed of Several ap peal cases have been tried, and the Grand Jury have act.-d "II all the oa-i-.-, brought before them. The case of Davis, Adni'r. vs. Macon A " es " tern Rail Road, being an action for damages growing out of the accident which oceuiTed on the road in ’50 or ’51—in u*hich Mrs. Winn and her children were Tin over by the cars. The present case was a suit for the value of the N e- gr» man and the Carriage, and the Jury found a verdict of seventeen hundred and eighty dol lars against the Company. In the progress of the trial it became necessary for the Plaintiff to introduce his letters of Administration, and upon tendering them, they were objeated to on the ground that tho action liad been brought in the name of one of the Administrators and not both, that when the action was commenced Mrs. Winn was administering with Davis, and that both should have been joined in the action—that the suit could not proceed in the name of one—that Mrs. Winn having married Boon since the com mencement of the action, and her letters having abated, the Plaintiff had thrown himself out of Court, and moved for non suit But the Court held that an order might be taken making Mrs. Winn one of the original parties, nunc pro tunc— reciting the further feet that by marriage with I toon, her letters had abated. S. T. Bailey, for Plaintiff; C. It. Cole, and Niabct and Nisbet for Defendant We understand the case will go to the Su preme Court On Thursday the great case of the Court was taken up and tried. We refer to tho case of Kah vs. Lightfoot This was an action brought to recover of the Defendant, a practising physi cian, damages for unskilful treatment, and neglect in setting the arm of Plaintiff, which had lieen badly injured whilo engaged in work at the South Western Rail Road. This was the third trial—the first Jury (Petit) gave a ver dict of two thousand dollars in favor of Plain tiff—the second, a Special Jury, at the last term of the Court, failed to agree, and made a mis trial The third, on Thursday last, was a very interesting one—eleven Doctors testified in the case, beside other witnesses. Whittle for Plain tiff, Poe and Grier for Defendant The jury returned a verdict in favor of the Defendant Bandage and Spectator, it was whispered, were on the stand, and were ready to carry the war into Court which had been for so long a time so fiercely waged through the columns of the press. We hope the verdict of the Jury will restore harmony and good feeling all around. Mr. Poe made a strong speech for his client, and Mr. 'Whittle, in conclusion, mad*; an ingenious, eloquent and learned argument, hut the Doctors were against him—and he lost his case.

Tribune of the fifth opens a broad side of five columns upon Mr. Thomas It R. Cobb’s book on slavery, and concludes with the promise of more. Comment is unnecessary.— The Tribune secs and feels that the “Craft” is in danger. Wc are not yet through the book, but we are prepared to soy that it is a specific for abolitionism to any mind able to comprehend, and sufficiently unbiased to appreciate, a clear and unanswerable argument, sustained by such an array of facts and authorities as are not often crowded into suchconipass. Indeed, we regret that the learned author has condensed so close ly. It is a splendid work—the Book of the age on this question. Wc need not say that the critic of the Tribune makes no impression on its impregnable logic. Indeed, he docs not at tempt to assail it He quarrels chiefly with the facts cited in illustration of negro capacity and condition in a.state of freedom, and complains that the author gleaned his information from par liamentary records and impartial sources, rather than from the crazy speculations of Garrison and Theodore Parker. The fluttcrings of the Tribune philosophers show that they are scared and hurt Loss of tlic Macon Flouring Mi We are sorry to say that the Macon Flouring Mill establishment was entirely consumed by fire between two and three o’clock last Wednesday morning. The loss in building and machinery, we understand, is about twenty, thousand dol lars, of which eight thousand live hundred was covered by insurance. In addition to this the mills had received the day before, a stock of fif teen hundred bushels prime wheat, whicli was also all consumed. An incident of this fire il lustrates the necessity of an amendment to our mode of fire alarms.

We quote the following proceedings of the House on the 10th., from the Federal Union, conveying a high, but merited compliment. Mr. Irwin, of Wilkes, presented a communi cation from Mr. Speer, resigning his office as Clerk of this House. Mr. Milledge, of Richmond, offered the follow ing resolution: Resolved. 'UiallhM House having accepted the resignation of A. M.

As a bill is now before the Legislature for the lease ofthe State Road, it may be well for the public to notice the Receipts and.Expenditure* or the Road for the last year, as condensed from the report of Dr. Lewis, the Superintendent, in his recent statement to the Governor.

This hill was made the special order of the House for last Friday and dfcbated up to the tinio of adjournment The character of the amendments made were such as to leave little doubt that the bill will be kill&d. or if passed in the siiape amended, will be of no practical value. One of these amendments imposes the individu al liability clause upon die stockholders so soon as the State has endorsed the bonds. ..... “ 530,364,79 dally and commercially by the construction of the Western A Atlantic Road are far greater than even the most sanguine of the early friends of the enterprise ever anticipated. The original objects and purposes which brought this great work into being, have been more than fulfilled. The Road has been built—it Is in perfect or der, and paying to the State remunerative Di vidends. It lias opened an extensive and lucra tive trade with Nashville, Knoxville, Memphis, Si Louis, and other important points North west of us. It has developed the Cherokee re gion of Georgia. It has made accessible to us a large extent of country which previously sought an outlet over the mountains to the Virginia and Carolina sea ports, or carried its products to New - Orleans and Mobile. It has given im petus and energy to every department of busi ness. It has attracted a thrifty,intelligent and industrious population to all the region within the circuit of its influence. It has built up Towns, and Colleges, and Churches, Iron Mills, Factories, and all tho necessary concomitants which follow from ingenuity, wealth and enter- prize. In a word, its mission was a great and glorious one, and it has been accomplished, ful ly, completely, and without failure in any' par ticular. All this having been done—all being visible to the eye and felt by tho touch, the question is, what comes next! The State has done its work nobly and is just now beginning to reap rich harvests from the intelligent forecaste of judicious and wise legis lation. While commercially and socially the Road has been a complete success, it has not been unat tended with difficulties. From its beginning to the present moment it has been a fruitful source of bitter strife. Its immense patronage, the of fices, the contracts, and tho management have caused more unkind feeling, have engendered more trouble, and begotten more divisions than all the vexed questions, both State and national which have exeited the people of Georgia from 183G down to the present moment Wo are confident that in 1857, Gov. Brown would have been elected without opposition, but for the irritation and differences growing out of the management and disposition of the State Road, and even now, we hear that great disaf fection exists in many of the counties along the line of the Road, towards Gov. 3rown, not be cause he has not fulfilled all his promises, (for ho has done more than tins)—not from want of patriotism—they admit he is faithful, prudent, wise and just—but he lias put out our friends- he belongs to the other line, he will not allow us and our friends to have control, and hence they are against him. Patronage is a pest—prolific always of trouble, and we have no doubt that Gov. Brown has felt the force and truth^of the remark. The State Road will forever be a coal of strife a strong harrier in the way of perfect peace and harmony among our people. It is our first and cherished desire to see them a unit in feeling, and we believe a step in tlie right direction will be taken, to bring about this desirable result, if the present Legislature will lease tlie Road on the terms proposed by a bill now before it. Let us examine the proposition somewhat in detail. The Company propose to pay three hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars monthly, in advance, per annum, for the. term of twenty years—the payments being made in advance makes the offer equivalent to about three hun dred and forty thousand dollars per year. The property—the Road and appurtenances- -is to Ic appraised, and the Company, at the expiration of the lease, bind themselves to return to die Stale an equal amount in quantity, quality and value, or pay the difference in cash. AU other Roads that now or may hereafter join it have equal facilities, terms and accommo dations. It is made the duty of the Company to keep the Road and equipments in good order, and tlie Governor is authorized to appoint » Committee to examine It, and if nt any time it should be found in bad order, or of less value than when turned over to the Company, the Legislature are empowered to remedy the deficiency. The rates of freight are fixed and certain— Tho Legislature may require additional security when in the judgment of the Governor, loss to the State is apprehended. These are the main and important provisions of the Bill The State, if the offer is accepted, get a clear rental, exclusive of interest, of three hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars, for twenty years, making the sum of six millions and a half, be sides interest Tlie people arc protected against Rail Road combination by a clause in tho Bill that no Bank or Rail Road shall subscribe for stock in the Company. AA'e think this bill is a good one, and wc hope it may bccomo a law. There may be omissions —there may be other guards and restrictions required. If so, let them bo put in, and let the Bill pass anil relieve the Governor and the Leg islature and the people from the interminable and unpleasant annoyances growing out of the control and management of the Road. Wo nrc satisfied that tlie Company offer moro for tho Road than the State, under the most fa vorable auspices, can hope to make from it— This year the nett earnings will not lie near so much. And when we remember tlie numerous i bridges, tlie tunnel, the costly culverts, nnd how liable they arc to accidents in various ways, wc are very sure that if the State should retain the Road and work it, six millions and a half of net revenue would not lie received from it. If something of this sort is not done, the Road will be sold or pledged to the support of the many schemes for raising money which are so pertinaciously pressed upon the Legislature,— Under the present plan we secure for twenty years a large revenue, sufficient to pay our debts—to decrease our taxes—and at the same the just award which both parties in Georgia have pronounced in favor of this meritorious, industrious and faithful officer, and we hope the present Legislature will endorse the verdict of the public by a substantial evidence of Us good opinion of Mr. Thweatt’s zeal in the sen-ice of the State. Will not some member introduce a bill to increase tlie salary of the Comptroller General at least nine hundred dollars ? Sixteen hundred Is the present pay, and is altogether in adequate to the amount and character of the la bor required to be performed. Mr. Thweatt’s reports have brought before the Legislature in formation of great importance, and we think the Legislature will be doing an act of justice to give him twenty-five hundred dollars—if ho had a wife wc would double the sum. Cobb's Analysis and Forms. Hon. Howell Cobb, of Houston, tlie pioneer in the compilation and publication of Law Books has presented a memorial to the Legislature as king for a subscription to a revised and enlarg ed edition of his Analysis and Forms, The val ue of this excellent work to the people—to mag istrates and country officers generally, cannot be estimated, and the Legislature would do well to subscribe for a sufficient number to place a copy in the hands of every State officer. We are informed that the learned compiler has made many improvements and additions in tho new edition whicli he proposes to publish. The South Will Sustain Itlr. BU CHANAN. The result of the late elections in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, have made tho Black Republicans exultant if not hopeful. The Northern Republican press is filled with abuse of the President—he Is called the pliant tool of slave power—he is charged with lendinj the influence and power of his administration to make a Kansas a Slave State, he is said to have attempted to buy and drive the Lecomp- ton-Constitution through Congress,—he is held up to the scorn and reproach of the Free North as a slavery propagandist, who has abused and degraded himself, for the purpose of fimliii; favor with the South. Mr. Buchanan may he called a martyr to the Constitutional rights of tlie South. His devotion, his indomitable courage and inflexible will, resisting the efforts of the Republicans to de fraud and cheat us, will long be remembered with feelings of deepest gratitude by the South ern People. The Black Republicans may abuse, villify, slander and persecute him, hut the South will firmly support and cordially endorse him as a wise, virtuous, and constitutional President Mr. Buchanan lives in a free State, but in our opinion the south could not find within her own sunny borders a statesman who would have been more careful of her rights or watchful of her boner. Let Mr. Seward carry out his plans, let him be backed by a Congress agreeing with him in policy—the south has nothing to'fear so long as James Buchanan has the veto power. He will exefci.se it freely and fearlessly - . Passage of the Macon A Ifriins- WICK RAIL ROAD BILL. Contrary to our expectations and the predic tions of tho Federal Union, we see from that paper that the Macon & Brunswick Rail Road Bill passed tlie House last Saturday by a vote of 71 yeas to 68 nays—whether in a shape to be efficient, we cannot at present say. The struggle will now be in the Senate, and we pre sume no amount of outside influences will be lacking to defeat the hill Wc shall await events with the greatest interest: The Federal Union furnishes a synopsis of the Speech of Mr. Harris of Glynn, in advocacy of tlie bill, which seems to have exercised a marked influence on tho fate of the measure in the House. W'e quote part of it: “ It Is said this bill passes through a sterile country. The 12 comities through which this road will pass pay oiyptenth of the tax of Georgia. It contains $50,000,000 of property. Iti» wi»c, it ic i»*s.p,-rtoaul ilieiii, anti instead of 50 millions it will be 5l 10 millions. Do I indulge in a visionary drcain.

I don't believe there is a Repre sentative on this floor, should our soil be inva- Currency Reforms—Small Bill PROHIBITION. We maintain that a good time for reforming tlie currency—providing against bank abuses and securing tho people against losses by bank mismanagement, never comes. It is like the old negroc’s tlintch—it can't be mended in the rain, and in dry weather docs notneed mending. In flush times nobody thinks about, or cares to provide against a collapse, and when the banks suspend and universal c'isorder and financial trouble sweep over the country—things are too bad to bo mended. The universality of the ruin and failure is its own best apology, and the man is held to be mad—an anti-bank fanatic, who talks about a redress or remedies. A propo sition to hold the banks responsible to their obligatioas, and compel them to furnish the community witli a sound currency, is looked up on as most horrid radicalism. What, says A to B, will you compel our banks to pay specie, while lialf or three-fourths tlie Banks of the country are in a State of suspension V Parties aro arrayed on the matter, at once, and in tho din of conflict it is perhaps just as well tliat nothing is done. On so delicate a matter, leg islation cannot be too well guarded, and it ought not to partake of tlie vindictive spirit which is engendered by bank suspensions and failures. Hence, financial crises do not furnish good times for wise currency legislation. But in spite of the indisposition to toucli cur rency questions in fair weather, wc say that now is the best time for tho Legislature of Geor gia to inaugurate measures to secure the people against a depreciated currency. We fully be lieve that tho two suggestions of the Governor, tho gradual prohibition of small bilLs and the establishment of an Independent State Treasury, are not only wise in themselves but exceeding ly opportune. Inaugurate them now and with out inconvenience to the peoplo they would se cure at last such a largo specie circulation in the Stato as to furnish an efficient safeguard against general suspensions among our banks, and al together secure that part of our population who can least afford it, from losses by bank failures. We have seen, as yet, no serious objection urged against the prohibition of small bills, except the single one, that it might incommode the prin ters in the matter of collecting newspaper ac counts..

Fair Uplands arc quoted at 7J—middling at 6jj. Ofthe sales of cotton in Liverpool during the week, 500 bales were taken by speculators and 5,000 by exporters. The sales on Friday were 500 bales, and the market closed very dull. The London Times and the Treaty WITH CHINA. The London Times, true to its anti-American instincts, has been indulging in a series of gross personal attacks upon Mr. William B. Recti, our Commissioner to China. Tho Times charges that Mr. Reed has made a blunder in negotiating tlie lato treaty, and tliat lie has failed to secure for our Government all the privileges which have been allowed to England, France and Russia. Doubtless the fact is true, that all immuni ties granted to England, France and Russia, have not been obtained by Mr. Reid, for us; but without knowing all the facts, wo are in clined to think Mr. Reid will be able to give sat isfactory reasons for his course. We presume that England and France ob tained more than wc—for they wanted more— they wrung from the Chinese by a parade of men, and cannon and ships, all they did get, and the Chinese are not likely to forget their mena ces and bluster. Mr. Reid, however, was not backed by all this array of force. He did not threaten—but persuaded—he did not demand any more than the Chinese were willing to al low, and we have no doubt that this policy will in the end turn out to be wisest and best The Chinese will fulfill all the stipulations of our Treaty without objection, bnt we should not he surprised if it required a large force of ships and men on tho part of the English, to in sure a compliance with all the claims of their Treaty. ■ At any rate we are gratified to know that our policy lias been friendly and peaceable—that nothing has been done by our Minister to preju dice our Government—and that the way is open and clear for intercourse with the Celestials. 'ikutive our readers sonie idea of the resour ces of tho Chinese Empire, it is said upon good authority—that tlie population on the banks of the Yang-tse-kiang river alone, is estimated to amount to one hundred millions of souls, and that there is a greater trade carried on between the interior of China and the Coasts, than be tween Europe and tho rest of the world. In the port of Shanghai, there have been as many as four thousand largo Junks at one time. Last year, the quantity of silk imported from China amounted to 9-1,800 bales, showing that since the year, 1810, the supply had increased forty fold. It is stated by respectable and well informed authority, that it is probable that even the most sanguine ideas already formed as to the Com mercial capabilities of China, will lie largely ex ceeded by the result. A Novel Case. Legislature on the Press. Last Thursday the "Legislator came mighty nigli a doin’ sumthin’” for tlie Pre-s, or a por tion thereof. Mr. Atkinson, of the Senate, intro duced a resolution eulogizing Dc Bow’s Review, and authorizing tlie Governor to t- subscribc for the same, including back number* to 184C.” Subsequently, the rules were suspended to take up this important resolution nnd, thereupon, Mr. Harris, of Worth, offered an amendment to include 2,000 copies of the Southern Chris tian Advocate. Mr. Fambro: An amendment embracing 5,000 copies of all papers that may now or hereafter be published in the town of Thomaston, Upson County. Another member moved to include "The Horn”—a paper soon to lie started in the State of Dooly. Mr. TIill, of Harris: an amendment including “500 copies of the Cuthbcrt Reporter, formerly knevrn as the Organ, and, until its change of name, devoted to the science of Vocal Music, and affording curious and useful information in tlie use of patent notes, so training the human voice, as to reach every conceivable flat and siiarp on the scale, and in many instances so induct the voice as to equal the plaintive thrill of the cana ry, the lofty strains of the mocking bird, or the dulcet note of the Harp of a Thousand Strings.” Just here the resolutions and amendments were laid on the table for the present So DcBoiv's Review, the Southern Christian Advocate, The Ilom'and the Cuthbcrt Report er’s claims were suspended. But they have been recognised to some extent by the Legislature, and recorded on the Journal The next day, however, a motion came up to deprive them ofthishonor. Woquote from the reports in the Federal Union: “ After the usual preliminaries, Mr. Ward of Butts, moved to reconsider so much ofthe Jour nal of yesterday, as refers to the rejection of the Resolution, or rather laying it on the table, in reference to DeBow’s review. Ho desired the amendments to bo expunged from the Journal Several members spoke on the motion. All seemed to agree that it would be 1 tetter to be expunged, but the question was. whether the Senate should expunge and falsify the record Mr. Thomas spoke against the expunging, he was opposed to tlie Senate’s falsifying the re cord Mr. Colquitt said the question to ex punge was clearly in order. It was discretion ary with tho Senate to entertain tho motion.— The Senator from Gwinnett called for a prece dent He would refer him to the proceedings of the Legislature of 1796, where it would be found tliat the act called the Yazoo Fraud Act was blotted out from the record and burned in Miliedgcville, then Louisville, by Gov. James Jackson, with lire from Heaven, by means of a sun-glass. This was a ywir’after tlie [foul act was passed, and the General Assembly witnes sed the burning. The question was in order. Mr. Williams, of Terrel, said there was a clause in the Constitution in direct opposition to the wishes of the gentlemen. That instrument re quires the proceedings of this House to be pub lished, and beforo that was done, we had no right to expunge anything from the Journal. Mr. Cone, of Bulloch, with his accustomed good sense, called for the previous question.— Let us vote on the motion. We have a good deal of business before tho Senate, let us pro ceed to some business that is of more interest to tlie people. We were spending more timo in debating this question than in its representa tive in moncj - , would pay for DeBow’s Review from its foundation. After a great deal of de bate and repeated calls for the yeas and nays, on a good many motions, the Resolution was laid on the table for the rest of tlie Session. From all which we infer, although the report is by no means luminous, that the motion to ex punge did not prevail, and our contemporary of the Cuthbert Reporter is still with the others on the Senate Journal, as possessing in the judg ment of one honorable Senator, at least, a right ful claim to a State subscription of 500 copies. We congratulate him, and say if the Senator designed his motion in burlesque, there is noth ing more in the character of the Reporter to call for or justify it, than in the plnce or mode of the joke to excuse it Reducing- ajSivcll. The Savannah Republican presents us a cap tion of “ Astounding Developments of Fraud and Peculation,” and excited our expectations to a great pitch On reading through tlie arti- ticle thus announced, however, we find it only mentions peculation to the amount of $54,000, committed by some seventeen persons, against the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Does any body call that astounding, now-a-days ? Char. Courier. Georgians, we are proud to say, call such pec ulations astounding. Our neighbor of the Cou rier may be more accustomed to hearing of such transactions, -and is only interested where tlie figures are large.—Republican. And something more of the “astounding" resounding and confounding would be abated, if the Courier was further informed that of the $54,000 not half will probably be found due the road. Thus in the single case of Kinchen AV. Hargrove, set down in default for $20,120 68, the arbitrator awards only $882 80! Wo have certainly neither motive nor disposition to cover up any of these alleged frauds: but are bound to say that so far from bringing to light any “ astounding developments of fraud and pecu lation” with however earnest a purpose tho in vestigation may have lieen prosecuted to tliat end and with that expectation, it falls far short of it For the Georgia Te;.—,,.
