FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1809.
Tb® Memorial Concert.
. we Anticipated, Kalston's Hall was crowded
tb'tbe elite of Macon Tuesday (gening to hear
? Memorial Concert. It was a magnificent
fiance, and the delight of the audience
^Jmost boundless. Every piece was encored,
J every performer compelled at least to bow
^knowledgementa to the most enthusiastic plau-
* j n wo st cases, however, they responded
vvhnaturedly to the demand for more, and the
Gramme was therefore extended about ninety
£%!nt7according to Dabofl.
It is not many sections of these States lately

Xmabovo notice should*have appeared yesterday
-oining. It would certainly have dono ao, if the
fZ. president of the Society, who is also the editor of
ieTnxoaiPH, had not, in his anxiety to serve per-
«n»l ends, forgotten his duty as the officer of an
di-mizatiou in which all the people are interested—
readers, as well as his.
The Journal and Messenger appends the fore
going to a notice of a meeting next Friday, to
scad delegates to the State Agricultural Society
in Atlanta. We have amply to say that the no
tice in question was penned by the writer late
in th? afternoon of Monday, at the instance of
one of the Executive Committee; and, in the
hurry of numerous demands upon our time, it
did not occur to us to write ont and send a copy
to the Journal and Messenger, much less that it
would advance our “personal ends” to with
hold that gratuitous notice from him, ortho
Journal and Messenger’s to receive it. We don’t
think there are any “ personal ends” of the
luxe, rath which can be served in so small a
wit; and we would suggest to our neighbor that
such unworthy imputations upon so slight an oc
casion ore unjust to himself. They do not dis-
pbf that nobility and grandeur of sonl which we
should be glad to ascribe to him. The old
English proverb reads, “ it takes a mite to see
unite, and to the ant a crumb is a winter’s
store.” If we were afflicted with a desire to hurt
the Journal and Messenger, we should do our
neighbor the justice not to attempt it with a
straw.
Broke Down Again.
A gigantic effort was made yesterday to induce
the Senate to rescind its action indorsing the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad. .The hostile
dans were in the field, hot and strong. Lobby
ing out-did itself. The forces were gathered
from far and near.
•• There stood John Bull in martial pomp,
But /«vc stood Ola Kentucky.”
The Atlanta Intelligencer insinuates that even
(ieneralDemijohn has been an active belligerent
for several days; but we must repel that as a
foul slander npon the potent, grave and reverend
seniors of the Legislature and the railroads.
The battle waxed hot and raged long; but vic
tory again perched on the triumphant banners
of the Bouse of Brunswick. Nothing now re
mains but the tussle in the courts, and that must
lie cold comfort after the decision of the Legis
lature.
The Did Carolina Bitters.
Messrs. Goodrich, Winemrm & Co., of Charles
ton, an old house heavily engaged in the im
portation of drags and chemicals, advertise to
day a new tonic, under the name of the Old
Carolina Bitters. It is a preparation from an
original receipt belonging to the house—com
pounded from drugs and brandy imported by
themselves, and resembles somewhat in color
ud favor the famous Hostotter’s Bitters. It is
claimed to be a specific for dyspepsia, loss of
appetite, chills and fever, and general debility.
Rese bitten* are on sale at Messrs. J. H.
feiliu t Co’s, and will be found avery agreeable
tonic and stimulant.
Smsows AND THE Cotton WoEU.—A Missis-
cpian, while recently in this city, says the New
Tork World, observed the remarkable services
performed in our parts by insectivorous birds.
^ occurred to him that they might be used to
•sroy the cotton worm. Ho has brought a
umber of sparrows to his plantation, near
Xatcher, to try what they can do. When in-
liming us of this, he remarks that his efforts,
ugie and unaided, cannot avail mnch against
& national enemy. Ho, therefore, requests
4c cooperation of the other planters of tho
South. We trust some effort will be made ,to
Uiy out the experiment, until its full value is
completely tested.

Legislative Extravagance.
It is too clear for dispute that the Legislature
of a State should be foremost in setting the ex
ample of a wise economy in the public expendi
tures. The Legislature is composed of the im
mediate Representatives of the people, and is
supposed to reflect directly the will of their con
stituents. They are also custodians of the pub
lic money. Not a dollar can legally go out of
the public purse without their sanction, and they
hold, or should, hold, an effectual check upon
expenditure by every other department of the
government.
The Legislature, therefore, while it is called
upon to impose the burden of taxation, holds a
complete legal and moral control over the pro
ceeds; and consequently is amenable to all the
grave responsibilities connected with the entire
subject-matter of public revenue and public
economy.
If the Legislature be lax, careless and profuse
the people are without protection. If they set the
example of extravagance, they may well expect
every other department of the government to
follow suit, and their mouths are stopped by
their own default.
Mr. Price, of Lumpkin, and certain other
members, have recently addressed the Legisla
ture some admonitions upon economy which we
think it is time to heed. Mr. Price’s speech was
made in snpport of the bill to reduce the per
diem of members from nine to seven dollars a
day. We shall say little about that proposition
—except that the income of members should be
properly limited to the payment of their actual
expenses in the public service.
To establish any other principle would be ab
surd. The State cannot afford to indemnify
members for loss of time, because it is presumed
that the time of some members may be worth
to them a hundred or five hundred dollars
day. The rnle should be, about the cost of liv
ing at the seat of government, and it is sound
policy to pay this, because, otherwise, the indi
gent would be excluded. Pay the cost of a lib
eral subsistence, and that is enough. The mem.
bers of the British Parliament are paid nothing;
hut that is an aristocratic feature which should
be avoided.
But is the appointments of the Legislature in
which it appears to us a more wanton extrava
gance is displayed. It seems, according to Mr.
Price, that FIFTY CLERKS are employed at an
aggregate expense, daring the last session, of
$45,552! This strikes ns as beyond all reason.
Mr. Price says the Legislature of* New York
employs but nine clerks, and Illinois, the next
highest State to Georgia, but eighteen. Ac
cording to this speech, the mileage, per diem,
and contingent expenses of the Georgia Legis
lature are about a third more than those of any
other State in the Union, excepting California.
All this is nonsense. It is gross injustice to
a people staggering under the weight of heavy
taxation, and it disarms the Legislature of all
moral strength to resist the misapplication and
waste of the public treasure. The branch of
the State government which should set a pattern
of rigid and patriotic economy, is leading off in
an example of waste end misappropriation!
JIucou and Brunswick Railroad Res*
olution.
The Intelligencer of Tuesday publishes in
full the report and resolution of the joint spe
cial committee raised to investigate the pro
ceedings of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad
Company under the act authorizing a State in
dorsement of their bonds. They are are as fol
lows:
The Joint Special Coidhttee who were directed
to take into consideration the condition of tho State's
indorsement on tlie bonds of the Macon and Bruns
wick Railroad Company, and other matters connect
ed with said railroad', as the interest of the State
may require, beg leave to
report:
That they have proceeded to inquire into tho ques
tions submitted to them by the joint resolution of
the two Houses, and have given the subject that
investigation which its importance to the State de
mands. They caused the original books and records
of tho Company to be introduced before them, show
ing the use made of tho bonds endorsed by tho
State, and also the contract made for the completion
of the road, with Messrs. Hull and Miller and their
associates. From a full and thorough examination
of them, and other evidence adduced, they are en
tirely satisfied that tlie Macon & Brunswick Railroad
Company in the use of the endorsed bonds, have
fully complied with the requirements of tho act au
thorizing the endorsement; and carefully guarded
the interest of the State—that the contract is most
judicious and favorable, insuring the completion of
the road to Brunswick during the present year, and
the development of that section of the State to a
great degree. They therefore recommend the adop
tion of the following resolution:
Resolved, That, in the opinion of the General
Assembly, the Macon & Brunswick Railroad Compa
ny have fully complied with tho requirements of the
Legislature providing for the endorsement of the
State bonds of said company, and that the Governor
is requested to continue the endorsement thereon,
as provided by said act.
Walter J. McArthur,
Chairman Senate Commitee.
O. G. Spares,
Chairman House Committee.
It will be seen that the report and resolution
cover every ground. They assert: 1. That the
law has been fully complied with. 2. That all
the interests of the State have been carefully
protected by the Railroads. 3. That tho contract
recently made for completing the road is “most
judicious and favorable.” 4. That it will in
sure the completion of tho road and the develop
ment of that section of the State through which
it runs to a great degree. 5. They request the
Governor to continue the endorsement of the
bonds.
It was impossible to pen a more complete ac
quittal of the charges brought against the Ma
con and Brunswick Road, or of the value of the
enterprise. And the Legislature adopted the
report and resolutions, in the Honsc, nnani-
imously—m the Senate, by a vote of twenty-six
to ten—showing only ten dissentient votes in the
entire Legislature 1
No railway enterprise in Georgia, it may well
be said, ever received so emphatic an endorse
ment, in respect to both its necessity and the
character of its management; and we may well
be permitted to hope that the extraordinary re
sult of this arraignment before the represent
atives of the people, will quiet opposition for
ever. And we fail to see any reasonable ground
of opposition. The Macon and Brunswick Rail
way has clear and independent functions of its
own, which demand its construction and will
support it It is essential to tho development
of a vast scope of country, and, liberally’ac
cepted, will seriously conflict with no local or
property interest in the State.

General Remarks.—Our commercial week closes
this evening with quite a cheerful feeling in busmen
circles generally, and particularly in the grocery and
provision trade, which has been decidedly good all
the week. In dry goods there is no great activity,
bnt the opinion is confidently entertained that a
handsome improvement may be looked for within
the next sixty days, as by that time the Spring stocks
will be here. The leading houses in this line stand
in first rate condition, and the demand for goods -
from Southern and Southwestern Georgia win be
better than last year, from the fact that merchants
ih that section are in better condition to make large
purchases.
The demand for almost everything in the grooecy
and supply line continues excellent- Nor is it car-
lined exclusively to the whites. We are informed
that freedmen are now baying, liberally, their plant
ation supplies, and the trade from this class, for
the last week or ten days, has been quite large.
Prices, of course, are very firm under such an active

Mr. Barclay opposed including his county in this

and that was done by negroes.
Mr. Rico opposed sending any committee, espe
cially to the county of Columbia—his county.

There is a small embrogUo between the Executive

A special to tho New York Tribune says: Gen.
Grant is strongly opposed to the pending Alabama
claims treaty. The following is his position, nearly
in his own words: The treaty is unjust to the
United States, because it assumes to measure in
jury inflicted npon this country by money-value of
ships actually destroyed; whereas the chief dam
age to our commerce was in our ships being driven
from the seas by anglo-rebel pirates. In addition
to this the sympathy extended by the English Gov-
ctnment to the South prolonged the war at least a
year, and for all lives lost and money expended, for
this time, England is directly responsible. The
treaty proposes to settle all these things by the pay
ment of the paltry value of a few ships.

lessness in Warren and other counties, and report
wby the civil authorities have not brought the of
fenders to justice.

pers, and report the result to the House, which was

It is reported here that the Constitutional Con
vention of Georgia will soon reassemble.
The Finance Committee called on Gov. Bullock,
and also tho State Treasurer, for farther particulars
regarding the expenditures of money not accounted
for by the Treasurer.
Bullock says the Treasurer’s report is an extraor
dinary institution against the integrity of the Ex
ecutive and a conspiracy to favor impeachment be
cause he, Bullock, wanted to put the Government
under military rale. Bullock says the money was
advanced to insure the completion of tho Opera
House for tho capitol, and accuses the Treasurer of
duplicity in discrediting tho integrity of the Execu
tive and ad vancmg the political movement in opposi
tion to the present administration. Ho sayB the
credit of Georgia is better than any other Southern
State; but cannot be maintained by permitting
subordinate officials to make insiduons attacks on
tbo integrity of the Executive.
The Treasurer reports to tho Finance Commit teo
that largo amounts were drawn, involving the Gov
ernor in an unlawful use of the State funds. The
amounts were drawn in Washington and the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, and used without authority of law.
He accuses the Executive Department of extrava
gance and tho unlawful expenditure of the funds
of the State; employment of threo times as many
clerks as the law allows and under full and extra
pay when absent half their time. The Governor
had made several trips North, and never said any
thing about the seventeen thousand dollars, until
found out. Ho, tho Treasurer, had gone to New
York to investigate the matter. The Governor’s
pretended Albion speech was exploded through
Sumner’s battery at Washington, and it is a poor
way to excite the sympathy of the Republican party
by resorting to a weak subterfuge in assaulting sub
ordinates, and that the rupture”between Grant and
Bollock is thorough.
It is reported that the Legislature will elect Com
missioners to go to Washington on the Reconstruc
tion measures of Congress.
