Q eo rgia Constitntional Convention of I8C8 reaffirmed and re-adopted, March 11th of ,^'t year. A clause of this Ordinance reads as follows: Tint «H laws which have been heretofore passed for iuVrairnose of raising money to sustain and carry „ * halite war against the United States, are null ° B iiuid, and that no Legislature hereafter to he iTlmWel shall lovy any tax, or make any appro priation, dirteily 0r j ,td irc<*lj/, to pay any note, ‘h'U bond or contract founded on the same.” Xo man can gravely sot up that these anus «eie not purchased, and the debt consequently incurred, for the defence of Georgia in the ex- frc ise of her alleged right to secede from the federal Union, and therefore the claim comes directly within the purview of this prohibitory enactment of fundamental law. jin the enactment was forced upon the State by a combination of the Northern States and peoples, contrary to our earnest desire and con victions, it seems a strange piece of business that our legislature should seek so earnestly to violate and circumvent it, in behalf of Northern claimants, while it has been heretofore so rigidly interpreted and enforced against Georgians who haw been reduced to most distressing poverty by the enforced repudiation of war debts. Are strangers better entitled to consideration the sons and daughters of the soil ? Are flaims for Sharp's rifles more deserving than claims for money loaned—bread, meat and cloth ing famished—salaries earned by hard service ind labor ? Some explanation seems to be due the people, of this extraordinary eagerness to ignore the Constitution in favor of this Sharp’s Rifle claim of the Connecticut company! What is the pecu liar fascination about this war claim, which stirs np so much interest and eloquence in its be half? How is the pride of character and the reputation of Georgia to be more vitally wound ed by the application of the Northern Constitu tional inhibition to that claim, than to thousands of others owned by poor widows and orphans, embarrassed farmers, mechanics and salaried officers in Georgia, whose just claims have all been swept away by this stem requisition of the dominant States and peoples of the North, that no claim contracted in self defence shall be paid. . Two important Bills. The House, on Tuesday, passed two impor tant bills—one “to prevent hunting with fire arms or dogs on lands of another.” The bill vas not a general one, bnt includes many conn- ties—Bibb among the number. If it is a bill by which trespassers can be carried before the nearest Justice and fined five dollars in five min utes, it will help people to protect their prem ises from trespass, spoliation and robbery—for there is no more prolific source of fence break ing and poultry, stock and crop stealing than this ranging over premises under pretence of hunting. The insecurity of landed property in Georgia from trespass and depredation, is the one fatal bar to a sound agricultural and domes tic economy, and indirectly mulcts the people in millions of money every year. Onr farmers would raise plenty of meat could they be secure in its possession. Next was a bill made general to create Com missioners of Roads and Revenue in the several counties. As matters stand, every thing in the way of county jnrisdiction and management is imposed on the Ordinary, and his dnties are far too extensive, varied and onerous for a single officer, especially as no compensation is attached to many of them. Reduction of Freight on Worth Geor gia and Tennessee lime. | We call attention to the advertisement of the j Western and Atlantic Railroad announcing a re duction of a hundred per cent, or more on lime freights by the car load. This is a liberal, praiseworthy and sagacious movement by Super intendent Hulbert, by which we have no doubt he will secure increased revenue to his road and confer great benefits on the people. Lime is one of the best of fertilizers, and particularly in combination with other manures, produces splendid results. This offer will deliver lime at Atlanta from Chattanooga for four cents a bushel freight; and are informed it is worth about fourteen cents at Chattanooga—say eighteen cents at At lanta ; and, if we connt upon the same rate of freight to Macon, (which wo hope Col. White will concede,) then the lime would cost in Ma con twenty-two ednts a bv⪙ say forty- five cents a barrel, with cost of cask, dray- oge, commissions and .profits added, which should not amount to a dollar. If farmers can get lime at anything like a dollar a barrel of two hundred pounds, they will find it a monstrous handy and cheap thing to have about the place. It will be the cheapest manur e offered and should open a heavy demand for Tennessee lime at once. Strikes! Strikes!! Strikes!!! An endless succession of strikes for less work and higher pay, seems to mark the relations of labor and capital in the North for the past three or four years. One strike is barely composed, before another is on the tapis, and just now they are running three—seamen, printers and tailors. Unfortunately, too, just now, owing to the de rangements of trade resulting from a so-called “protective” tariff, smuggling, disordered cur rency and high rates of . wages, the mechanical business of the country is rapidly diminishing. Work is fast being transferred to Europe and the Canadas. Ten books are imported now where one was before the war—the country is largely supplied with foreign manufactured clothing, and the demand for American seamen is much lessened, owing to the greatly diminish ed number, of American bottoms employed in commerce. Eve'iy new strike reduces the field of employment, and it looks to ns as if the stri kers were likely to hit themselves very hard be fore long. These hostile attitudes of labor and capital in a universal suffrage country, are very ominous of trouble to a thoughtful man. A scarcity of labor and of bread are uncompromi sing elements at the ballot-box. Macon Postmaster. IVc hear rumors of attempts to dispossess J. H. Washington, Esq., the present Postmaster of Macon. Where the use of that ? Mr. Washing ton makes a highly satisfactory Postmaster to the people of Macon—a trusty and faithful agent of his government, and his politics are entirely harmonious with those of the dominant party. Where the use of turning him out ? A Grand Canal In Georgia. An able corrrespondent in Early county de relopes a Grand Project upon the outside of to day’s Telegraph, for a canal connecting the great river system of the West, the Altamaha and the Atlantic. The idea is majestic—the mggestions with which he backs it are cogent. Let the people read and ponder over this articlet He proposition to ns is a new one, and we want ame to reflect upon it. We hope it will attrae. :amination and discussion. Court-House Commission. This body met in the Ordinary’s office last evening, 3 o’clock. Present: James T. Nisbet, Chairman, Joseph M. Boardman, Secretary, John J. Gresham, L. N. Whittle, C. A. Nutting, John W. Burke, Joseph Clisby, O. G. Sparks l>y proxy) and the Ordinary, C. T. Ward. Ab sent : 0. A. Lochrane. After much earnest conversation, during vhich it appeared that no other site had been ten dered the Committee, or proposed for purchase, Ly parties who could make titles, and that none wraldbe had likely to be more satisfactory, the Commission by an unanimous vote, determined 1(1 ttoept the proposition of Mr. E.

They also bargained with Mr. Johnston ‘ or J**nty.fiy 6 f ee t additional on Mulberry » stipulated and reasonable price, in !t should be desired. Connecticut Democracy. The Richmond Dispatch of the lstinst, says: “In the new platform jnst adopted by the De mocracy of Connecticut is a resolution declaring that the effortfifof the Radicals to deprive the States of the right, each for itself, to regulate suffrage, is an outrage which they will resist by all lawful means.” This means, we suppose, that the Connecticut Democracy will oppose the new constitntional amendment which it is ex pected Congress wiS, during its present session, propose for ratification by the several State Leg islatures. The reader will not fail to remember that there’s a wide difference between this reso lution and the one which the Connecticut Dem ocrats last year adopted denouncing negro suf frage. "What say the Connecticut Democrats now against the reconstruction measures ? What word of encouragement do they utter to those of onr people who rely npon their assistance in the work of preventing negro suffrage in Vir ginia ? The Chicago Radical platform asserted the right of the Northern States to regulate suf frage for themselves. It is this right which the Connecticut Democracy say they will not sur render. The same platform declared the power of Congress to regulate suffrage in the Southern States. This resolution of the Connecticut Dem ocrats is certainly good as far as it goes. Bnt it fails, we think, to touch the case of the unre constructed States. We have, however, seen only so much of it; as is reported in the New York Herald. | MINOR TOPICS. A Georgia star has inode her appearanco on the New York boards—Miss Effie Germon. She is a na tive of Augusta, in this State, and bids fair to attain a high rank in her profeasion. Ill health and the slow ascent of fame’s ladder have kept her in the rear of others who, with half the talent, have risen rapidly. Her face, which the New York World pro nounces “singularly beautiful and intelligent,” to gether with a fine person, voice and admirable tal ents and attainments, will soon bring her friends and fortune before the footlights of Brougham’s Bijou. A sew device for an endless rail for railroads is announced. The rail is composed of two bars, the ends of the one on the outside lapping at the mid dle of the one inside, and they are fastened to a chain, also a part of the invention, by an iron key which is inserted or withdrawn with ease, and the form of the bars is such that they can be turned, that the under side may bo used. The whole seems simple and practicable, and we understand that the bare and chains are now manufactured, to a limited extent, to order. Jane 3wiesuei.hi, a Radical pet, writes in the fol lowing strain to the St. Louis Democrat: “ There is no question in which the public are more interested than the character of the women who control legis lation in Washington, and however unpleasant the task may be, there is no truer service to this Government than exposing the corrupt influences which deplete our public Treasury, and vote the money wrong from the sweat of the laborer as tes timonials of the admiration of onr Representatives for the personal charms of any woman.” A dispatch from Washington says: In the Senate to-day Mr. Howe created considerable amusement by liis facetious presentation of a memorial from a deaf mute of Jackson county, Georgia, named T. J. Flournoy. The memorialist alludes to the frauds and iniquities which have crept into the Internal Revenue service, and as a means of correcting the abuses he asks for the appointment of a Government phrenologist, to whom all applicants for Internal Revenue positions shall submit their heads for ex amination, and all those whose organs of honesty, reverence and conscientiousness are not largely de veloped, shall he rejected. 33"5T TJELEGRA.FJEI. FROM ATLANTA. Arms Bill Still Discussed. County Commissioner Bill Passed in • the House. State Agricultural Society. Heavy Attendance. Vroii Brunswick. Onr old friend, P. M. Nightingale, from Brunswick, was in onr office last Monday, as fresh as ever. Title touches him deftly and with light fingers. Mr. Nightingale says the Bruns wick Road is making rapid progress—will con nect with Savannah via Atlantic and Gulf Road, at Doctortown, by April, and sure to be through to Macon in time; for the next cotton crop. So wo may connt on Brunswick fish and oysters (Providence permitting) next winter. We hope somebody will then be ready to take hold of that business with adequate means, and on a ration al plan, as soon as the Road opens, and fnrnish plenty and cheap, so as to open markets in Mid dle Georgia foi tons every day. We think it can and should be done. We look for the Bruns wick Road to add vastly to the comfort, luxury and cheapness of living in Middle Georgia, while she will 'return a good business to the Road, and a lively trade to the little sister on the sea. ^’ttEBsrrr m the South fob Habits of Labor. r correspondent “Lawyer,” on the fourth f 8 ® 2 ’ gives the people so solemn talk as to cre- 414,111 for the future.

It has been suggested that the Court-house Commission for Bibb county open a correspon dence with the General Postoffice Department, and invite the co-operation of the department in erecting the new structure with the view to a permanent and safe accommodation of the Macon Postoffiee in the Court-house buildiug. Fire-proof rooms could be built on the first floo^ which should provide alike ample space and perfect safety for the Postoffice and the county records and offices, and' fnrnish the Postoffiee a permanent and desirable location in fee simple at the expense of a few years’ rent. The new location for the Court-house is as good a one os could be obtained in this city, and the object secured by the county would be simply an in creased magnitude and beanty of the building, at no greater cost to the country. The proposi tion, we understand, will receive attention. A New Idea.—The Commercial Advertiser says a commodious and elegant building intend ed for the use of private parties is to lfc built soon at the corner of Wabash avenue and Twelfth street, Chicago, for a well known cater er of that city. Tho hall is to accommodate one thousand persons. There are rooms for bar bers and hair dressers, sitting rooms, smoking rooms, etc., in the building. There is to be, also, a large supper room find a kitchen. The building is designed 1 for parties, and it is ex pected that private familiel, who do not want their houses torn up, will xiake use of it. Straw Es’odjes, SrATiotART and Portable, Boilers, and all kinds <t Castings in Brass and Iron.—Anybody who, desires anything in ♦Pig line, or almost any kind of Manufactures in Iron and Brass, will be put in a way to got them more cheaply than they jean be obtained any where else, by colling on fl. B. Brown, No. 62, Second Street, Macon, af the office of A. L. Maxwell & Co. Mr. Brovn is Agent of the Me tropolitan Works, Richmond, Virginia, and will take orders at low price^, guaranteeing perfect satisfaction. Planting Trees. A correspondent of the Constitntionalistsays: Every day’s postponement of putting out trees hinders their growth. / Planted now, watering is unnecessary, and tho promises increased in value twenty tunes their cost. Dig holes large, take up as much root as pos sible, pnt the surface earth around at the bot tom and the subsoil on the surface; water once, will be enough. . • - • Pines not niore than eight feet' high may thus Much has been written and said recently, about Ranks superceding Grant at Vicksburg. Now comes Senator Nye, who says: “Seeing the contradictory statements published in the papers regarding the fact or otherwise of an order having been issued from the War Department to General Banks, short ly before the fall of Vicksburg, directing him to re lieve General Grant, I beg to state the exact facts in the case, and thus settle this much controverted matter. While General Grant was operating in front of Vicksburg, I was employed as clerk in Secretary Stanton's office, at the War Department in Wash ington. Secretary Stanton wrote two orders, direct ing me to make two copies of them—one for tele graphing, and one for filing. The first was address ed to General Banks, directing him to proceed at once to Vicksburg and relieve General Grant. Tho second order was addressed to General Grant, di recting him to turn over his command to General Banks, on the arrival of the latter, who had been or dered to relieve him. I do not pretend to give the wording of these orders. I have given; however, their exact substance, and they should be on file now in the War Department unless they have since been removed. I will state further that copies of these orders were to be transmitted by telegraph, sent by messenger to the War Department telegraph ofiice, by order of Secretary Stanton. These copies should also be on file in the latter office.” The dispatch announcing that the Dlinois Legis lature had passed a resolution ceding Chicago to In diana, is a little queer to people at a distance. They will be disposed to regard it as a joke, but we take it that the Legislature is in earnest. It is harder to govern than all the balance of Illinois put together, being a notoriously corrupt and bad place. The Legislature regards it as a disgrace, aud is anxious to ebuffie it off on Indiana. Rut suppose Indiana refuses to tak3 it ? Chicago had better move to be come a free city, like some of the Dutch towns. The reported discovery of a subterranean cave near Rock Island, HI., has turned out to be a hoax. Also, the foundering of a vessel at sea in which an American Army officer was said to have done veiy many wonderful things. Col. J. H. McMahan, a veteran Memphis editor, died in that city on the 29th ult. of a congestive chill. A New York paragraph announces: An associa tion of heavy capitalists is being formed hero for cultivating cotton in South Carolina and Georgia during the present year. Agents have gone South to secure lands. Governor Fenton, of New York, recently elected Senator, has been asked to resign, on the ground that he obtained the position by bribery and fraud. There is not the slightest prospect of his complying with the request. The Knoxville special to Cincinnati says Brown- low will evacuate the Gubernatorial sofa on the 26th proximo, to take his seat in the United States Sen ate on the 4th of March, as successor to Senator Patterson, and that his unexpired term will be filled by Hon. DeWitt C. Scnter, Speaker J i>f the Senate. “ Mrs. C., though masked,” says an Arkansas Jenkins, “was easily detected by the soul-felt laugh which springs up, liko tbs sea-foam, from a gay heart.” The Atlanta New Era says the quarrel between Bullock and Angier “is mainly in regard to techni calities.” We thought it was “mainly about” 835,000. Vessels in the Savannah River.—The Re publican of Tuesday says: •There are at present 85 vessels in port, 42 of •which are loading for foreign ports. This will show a heavy increase over last year, when the number loading for foreign ports was 30, while the aggregate in port was only 52. At New Orleans on the 27th nit., there were 119 vessels, of which number only 36 -were bound to foreign ports; while Charleston only shows a list of 42 vessels, 12 of which are load ing for foreign ports. This is a favorable com parison of tho facilities offered by Savannah, and shows conclusively that with proper man agement on the part of onr merchants and all concerned, Georgia can still maintain the proud title of “Emire State,” nnd Savannah that of tho “Queen City of the South.” The Republican styles these vessels “the commercial marine of Savannah,” but unfortu nately they miss it a great deal. Atlanta, February 2—Night. In the Senate, the consideration of the resolution with reference to the payment of tho Hartford Arms Company’s claim of twenty-five thousand dollara, principal and interest from November, 1860, was re sumed. Mr. Brock, having the floor, resumed in op position. Ho was followed by Hungerford in favor of the resolution. Mr. Nunnally, being the mover of the resolution and having the right to conclude, gave notice that all who wished to speak should do so. He would call the previous question and move that tho time for all speakers bo indefinitely ex tended. Mr. Nunnally delivered a powerful speech in favor of the resolution, and was loudly cheered by those in the gallery when he said that “ Georgia, although conquered and down-trodden—imposition after im position heaped upon her—had not yet lost her hon or, and ho wanted Mr. Penfleld to go home and tell his people the fact.” He quoted extensively as to the authority of the Conventions of 1865 and 1867, from the bill which authorized tho appropriation of one million of dol lars, and read for common defence and not attack. Gov. Bollock, Hon. Joshua Hill and others, were on the floor of the Senate, during the argument.— Pending the discussion, whilst Nunnally was read ing a letter from Hon. A. H. Stephens, with refer ence to the subject, the Senate adjourned. In the House nothing of much importance trans pired. A bill was passed to appoint a Board of three Commissioners for each county to be called Commissioners of Roads and Revenue, with the same power formerly exercised by the Inferior Court, save they cannot hear and determine judicial questions. The State Agricultural Convention is in session. Benjamin C. Yancey was elected President. A large number of persons are in attendance, among them are many of the most prominent and influen tial men in the State. The impression gains ground float the question of the removal of the capital will bo again agitated. W. Hartford Arms Bill Lost In the Senate. No Final Action on the Special Order in the House. Special tn the Macon Vaity TelegrophA Atlanta, February 3,1868, In the Senate, tho resolution for payment of the claims of Hartford Arms Company was resumed. Mr. Nunnally finished his argument. Mr. Lester re plied in an able speech, taking the ground that Con gress, by its plan of reconstruction, made Georgia a new State, and that the old State was defunct. Hence, the old State, being bankrupt, could not ex pect her sons to pay her debts where he inherited no estate. Indications before the vote was taken were that the friends of the measure were in a minority. Mr. Nunnally concluded in an able speech and called the previous question. Tho resolution was lost. Yeas 11; nays 21—the President of the Senate voting yea. The galleries were crowded during the debate. Mr. Nunnally gave notice of a motion to reconsider, in order to change the wording of tho resolution. The Governor sent in a message vetoing the bill providing for drawing jurors in January for subse quent terms, on the ground of its unconstitutional ity. Pending a motion to pass the same over the veto, tire Senate adjourned. In the House, a motion to reconsider the bill pass ed on yesterday appointing County Commissioners of Boad and Revenue, was lost. The bill allowing a Conventional rate of interest referred to the Judiciary Committee, was reported upon adversely. The motion it Sir. Scott to lay upon -tho table tho resolution to appoint Commissioners to be sent to Washington, which was the special order of the day, was lost. There was considerable discussion. Mr. Price offered a substitute to refer the matter of eligibility of negroes to office to the Supremo Court. Sir. Scott raised a point that it was not germain to the subject. The chair did not snstain the point. Mr. Scott moved to refer the whole subject matter to the Judiciary Committee. Sir. Evans also introduced a substitute. Mr. Price stoutly maintained the ground of his original resolution. Mr. Bryant opposed Mr. Scott’s motion in a lengthy speed). He was interrupted frequently by Mr. Fitz Patrick, “who was tired of such rigmarole.” Minority report against the payment of the claim for arms furnished the State by the Hartford Arms Company was read. Pending the discussion upon the motion of Mr. Scott, Mr. Morgan having the floor, yielded to a mo tion to adjourn. The Agricultural Convention request the railroads to transport all guano sent into the State at half rates. Congressional. Washington, February 2.—House.—The House considered the pension bilk • In the House a resolution was offered directing the Secretary of the Treasury to withhold bonds from beneficiary railroads sufficient to build a first class road. The Secretary of War was interrogated as to whether any District Commander had turned over to dvil authority for trial or punishment, any per sons tried and convicted by military tribunals. The Pension Bill was considered with the amend ment that no widow, by marriage, shall forfeit her right to pension. A bill was reported establishing a bridge between New York and Brooklyn. A long discussion ensued, and tho bill finally passed with an amendment. A message from the President, covering the cor respondence regarding Fenians imprisoned by Eng land, was received. Robinson said he would kick any man into the middle of next week who talked abont a treaty with England until imprisoned Amer icans are liberated. The correspondence was re ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Senate amendment to the bill declaring vacant all offices held by disqualified persons, was passed, and the bill now goeB to the President for approval. It provides for the removal, within thirty days after its passage, of officers, ineligible under the 14th Amendment, in Virginia, Mississippi and Texas. House adjourned. Senate.—The Senato is considering the claim of tho Ocean bill in carrying troops from Galveston to New Orleans. The Senato Judiciary Committee was discharged from further consideration of female suffrage pe titions. Senator Wilson introduced a Constitutional amendment, assuring suffrage and right to hold of lice to all except rebels, in appropriate words, which was considered at great length. Adjourned. A bill was introduced, advancing pay to army of ficers under Major Generals for two years, from July, 1868, one third. The argument before the Committee on Postal Telegraph is concluded, and a report is expected early. Tlio Reconstruction Committee considers the Mississippi case finally on Saturday. Washington, February 3.—Senate.—Trumbull, from the Judiciary Committee, introduced a bill to day reorganizing the Federal Judiciary. Trumbull’s Judiciary Bill makes nine Supreme Judges, and provides for the appointment of Circuit Judges. The Consular Appropriation Bill was passed. -Boutwell’s constitutional amendment was consid ered to adjournment. House.—Beck introduced a bill regarding Missis sippi, with Bingham’s nulification; but instead, as Bingham proposes, admitting present claimants for Mississippi offices. Beck’s bill provides for an election in May, under universal suffrage and amnesty for both the modi fied constitution and State officers; and in the meantime the State remaining under military con trol. The Post Roads Committee heard the Pittsburg men in opposition to bridges of less than four hun dred feet- span. The Appropriation Committee have determined to withhold appropriations for an Educational De partment. It is stated on tolerably good authority that the Postal Committee will vote down any propositions for a Postal Telegraph. The public and Govern ment are best served by competition. The terms of tho hill vacating the offices in Vir ginia, Mississippi, and Texas will throw the office deliveries into Grant’s administration. The Secretary was directed to withhold payment for stationery contracts. Beck's Mississippi Bill was referred to the Recon struction Committee. The recusant New York witnesses at the bar of tho House, were left in charge of the sergeant-at- arms till the Committee is satisfied. Tho An-Line Boad hence to New York was dis cussed. The Indian Appropriation Bill was reconsidered. House adjourned. Cash sales of real estate in Atlanta dnring the past week have amounted to abont one hundred thousand dollars. One-half the Bell building was sold for $23,200. Two stores in the Frank lin Block were sold to Mr. Wm. W. Simpson, of Sparta, Ga., a wealthy planter, who is interested largely in Atlanta property, for $16,000. Two stores on the comer of the same block were sold to Mr. Geo. S. Camp, of Greensboro, for $13,- 500. The store occupied by Wm. B. Lowe & Co., on Whitehall street, was sold for $10,000. The property 6old to the Macon nnd Western Rail road brought $13,000. The store in tho rear of the Kile Building was sold to Thomas G. Hnly for $265. The Jos. L. King storehouse, on Peachtree, was sold for $SOOO. The residence of Mr. McBride was sold for $2250. Smaller sales were made which ran the aggregate to over one hundred thousand dollars within one week, and all the sales were bona fide and for cash.— Neu> Era. copies to M. it Pnm P r" Pines not more than eight lees nign may uu no, New York CU v ^noting - be planted with success.

Anlanta, February 2.—Tho Finance Committee, composed of two Democrats and one Republican, appointed to investigate the charges of the State Treasurer against Gov. Bullock for unlawful use of State funds, issue the following card: To the Publtc : The undersigned, Sub-Commit tee of Finance Committee, appointed to investigate charges made by the Treasurer against the Gov ernor, hope that yon will not form your opinions hastily. Wo are invesitgating the whole matter thoroughly; and wo do rot doubt, from evidence al ready before us, that Gov. Bullock has acted with tho strictest integrity. The only question is as to his discretion, which is being fully investigated. We are induced to make this request of you because of the hasty course of the Treasurer in making public certain communications. [Signed] H. Morgan, W. B. Bell, C. C.

The bill was tabled in the House under its stated misapprehension of facts. Upon tho call of yeas and nays there was a tie. Three members changed front, however, and de feated the bill. It is now being revised in the Sen- diflictilty probably --as both Houses without Importance is attached to this ease ,,as indicative of the temper of Congress in tho matter of restoring confiscated property. In the Supreme Court Evarta is arguing adversely to tho reclamation of certain excessive imposts and revenue exactions. C. C. Lugbo, is before the Senate Committee on foreign relations, to argue against the proposed Cable Company touching American shores without the previous consent of Congress. Joseph Segar, a well known Virginian, has the malignant erysipelas. Among the visitors at the President’s to-night are Messrs. Myers, Cohen, Jones, Gibbs, Gardiner, and W. H. Brenner, of Augusta. Washington, February S.—In tho debate on the whisky tax last night, Schenck, Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, said there were a par cel of speculators throughout tho country trying to kill the whisky market, by circulating a story that tire Ways and Means Committee, or some member of tho House would propose to increase tho tax on whisky, or, perhaps, pnt it hack to its old rate. He would say, that so far aB the Ways and Means Com mittee was concerned, no such proposition had been, or would be entertained. He hoped there would be no tinkering by the House with this part of the bill. Revenue to-day 81,000,000.

What a Stranger Thinks of Macon.—We asked a gentleman yesterday who is here on a visit, what he thought of Macon. His reply was a little scat tering from some cause, hut here is the substance of it: He thinks it very strange that it is always raining when it is not dry, and that is every time he gets here. He thinks it very strange that tho sun shines only at given times, aud that when fie does shine it is invariably in day time. He thinks it very strange that most everybody he meets looks at him as if ho were somebody else, and that not being somebody else, they don’t want to make his acquaintance. He thinks it very strange that when people let out after rain they look aB independent ae if they had not been sneaking under shelter for the past three days. He thinks it very strange that people will give a person most anything for money, and that they never object to taking tho money, and that the only thing they will not insnlt a man about is giving them money. In short, ho sees a heap of strange things in Macon which will, he thinks, if properly adhered to, entitle her to rank among some of the leading cities of modem times. White Fawn.—It is hardly necessary to add any thing to what we have already said in regard to this beautiful and most brilliant production, which will be presented for the first time in this city to-night at Ralston’s Hall. A largo nnmber of reserved seats have already been taken, and we expect to see, should tho weather be favorable, a large audience of tho elite and fashion of the city present. Wo copy the following from the Montgomery and Columbus papers: Montqomery Theatre.—Our citizenshavebeenin- debtod to the energy and superior ability of B. F. Whitman, Esq., for the magnificent metropolitan spectacular play at our Theatre during tho past week. Mr. Whitman has succeededin surprising the residents of this city, as well as nearly every city in America, by the grandeur, smothness and princely maimer in which he places Iris pieces upon the stage. Sir. Whitman is acknowledged to be one of tho three leading spectacular managers in the Uni ted States, and undoubtedly has moro capital in vested in scenery and costumes than any single in dividual in the country. Hence the large, fashion able audiences which crowd tho Theatres which have the good fortune to bo visited by this gentleman. The attendance in this city during Sir. Whitman’s Engagement has been of the most flattering de scription, our leading citizens, many who seldom visit tho Theatre, have tinned owt en masse. The consequence has been that our Theatre lias nightly E resented an array of beauty and fashion such as as seldom, if ever, been witnessed before. Last night was tho last of Mr. Whitman’s Engagement We sincerely hope he may be induced to visit us again.—Montgomery Mail. White Fawn—Thie, the Last Night.—Temper ance Hall was literally packed on Monday evening. Every seat was occupied and standing room was not easy to be found. There was a largo attendance of ladies. This too when a heavy rain was falling. The scenery and costumes were more splendid and beautiful than anything ever seen in Columbus, and awakened general wonder and delight. Applause was frequent and unbounded. The transformation at the close was most brilliant and gorgeous—a most bewildering idealization of beauty. Tho beautiful motions danced by Milo Solilke was rapturously en cored. Sho moved as only she could, representing the glad spirit of joyousness. “Diana,” lovely as a radiant dream, was the very impersonation of grace, and the poetry of motion. Agile, lithe and bouvant, she seemed to float through merry mazes as if fresh wafted, a bright embodiment, from fairy -i-- J The two aro the best dancers ontheconti- land. nent. Tho entire ballet corns was composed of most witching forma that flashed with poetic motion. Tho inimitable “Can Can” brought down the house. The singing by Misses Alice and Isabel Vane and Ber nard—all favorites here—was delightfuL 'Captain “Jeuks” was gleefully rendered. All was charming, graceful and brilliant. Last night, notwithstanding the inclement weath er, another largo audience was present, and all were again highly pleased. “The enchanted wood” and tne “flashy realm," with the graceful dances, were eminently, happily displayed. Postponement of the Catholic Fair.—Father Ryan passed through this city on his way to Colum bus yesterdry morning, after spending one day with us. During his stay he was consulted in regard to tiie proposed Catholic ladies’ fair, and he advised its postponement until after Easter, whichlias been done, as we are informed by a prominent communi cant of that church. From Cuba. Havana. February 3.—The city continues quiet A serious riot occurred at Betfeual, between the Spaniards and Cubans, a few days since. Many were wounded. A steamer has arrived from Spain with a large number of troops. Foreign News. Madrid, February 2—The Government resists the clamor for immediate action regarding religion, and persists in referring tho whole matter to the Cortez. It forbids large meetings, or political discussion on the streets. The Cortez will appoint a directory until a Sover eign is chosen. London, February 2.—The. Greek Cabinet voted four to three in favor of signing the Conference. Mr. Seward authorizes Minister Norris, at Con stantinople, to offer tho mediation of the United States between Turkey and Greece. London, February 2.—A heavy wind and rain throughout Great Britain yesterday. Much land flooded and many marine disasters, but no loss of life reported. The dispatches from the East report a bloody bat- tie between the Turks and Montenegins near Niks- chitzs. No particulars^, Madrid, February 3.—Probably Prim and Serano will constitute the Directory. The Pope’s nuncio has been induced to return. SIazatllan, January 20.—An outbreak of the peo ple occurred on tho 10th inat., which was quickly subdued by the military. Serious troubles are pro bable at anv moment. Site of the New Court-house.—With a very few exceptions, wo think tho site selected on Tuesday evening by the Court-house Commission, upon which to erect a new building, meets with general favor among onr citizens. Those who do not like the sitohavo no jnst grounds for complaint; because the opportunity was given them to have it elsewhere by making such propositions to the commission as would outweigh those submitted by Mr. Johnston. The new site suits us precisely, and it will bo re membered as tho very one we suggested last sum mer when the sale of tho old shanty was made. The location is central, and yet somewhat retired, and was certainly secured on better terms than the same amount of ground could be had elsewhere in the city for such a purpose. It only remains now to erect a building on the comer of Mulberry and Second streets that will be an ornament to the city, and an object of pride to the county, and^ve believe that it will be done at an early day. In common with all the people, it gives ns much pleasure to know that this vexed question is at last settled, and favorably so to nine-tenths of the pop ulation of the county. • If yon wish to savo fuel: if you wish good bread; if yon wish well cooked meats; if yon wish food prepared bo that your digestion of the same will be perfect; if you wish your wife to be contented and free from worry and anxiety about her dinners— present to her a Cotton Plant Cooking Stove, man- ufactured by Abendroth Bros., New York, and sold j byB. Wise, Macon, Ga. ft- _ — Here's Your Doos, Whab’s Your Bar?—There is a man in this town who has had a bear for some time past, that has demolished dogs in several fights just as if ho was preparing to eat them. We aro authorized to say that a party in this city now has three dogs that aro ready to assert the supremacy of tho canine tribe in the animal kingdom of Bibb county, and can whip anything with hair on it that dares to dispute their claims. Now, if Bruin tliinim ho can lord it longer in this region, he will have to tako the fight and conceit out of these three dogs or back down.

Weekly Review of the Karkefc, OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH,] February 3—Evening, j General Remarks.—Nothing has transpired i our last weekly review to materially alter the condi tion of the money market Currency was abundant throughout the week dosing this evening, and tho demand for accommodation has been rather on e decrease. Bates of interest and discount continue unchanged. A fair amount of business has been transacted th past week in railroad and other securities, though the offerings of the better class have been light, and the demand for most descriptions has been ^steady throughout. The general wholesale and jobbing trade of the city still shows a gradual improvement, though it has been restricted for the last day or two on account of wet weather. Prices rule very firm, and the de mand for plantation supplies lias been very good during tire week. Within the past forty eight home the stock of bacon, com, flour and hulk meats has been materially increased, and dealers in these arti cles in this market are now very well but not heavily stocked. With these general remarks, we give, carefully re vised and corrected quotations : <•*“*■-* EXCHANGE OK NEW YORE. 6 J Buyitir — discount Selling...... — par UNITED STATES CURRENCY—LOANS. - .

The market has been remarkably steady and quiet during tho week under review. In our last weekly report we quoted tho market as dosing firm at 26)£ cents for middlings, and it remained quietly at those figures until Saturday when prices went up another quarter, and there they have stood firmly with a slight inclination to advance, particularly so yester day and to-day, the market closing firm this evening, under late New York and Liverpool reports, at 2 @27 cents for good middlings.
