! srly barred by the terms of an ordinance
tflirb tlw Georgia Constitutional Convention of
1S65 was compelled to adopt as a condition pre-
Li >nt to admission into the Union and which
. 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.

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.

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

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

A Proposition.
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.

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.

There is not the slightest prospect of his complying

The Knoxville special to Cincinnati says Brown-

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

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.

Mr. Nunnally gave notice of a motion to reconsider,
in order to change the wording of tho resolution.

Singular Formation.—A gentleman submitted to
us for inspection, yesterday, a Tory remarkable for
mation on tho inside of the half of an oyster shell,
which ho found near an oyster house on Cotton Av
enue. It was n'othing 'more than a completely
formed head of adog,abont thesize of apartridgo egg
with ears, eyes, month and noso almost perfect. Of
course it is nothing more than a singular formation
which, by a freak of nature, took the shape and ap
pearance of a dog’s head. : -
A. wag suggested that it was tho shellified head of
some little bull terrier about Savannah, that had
crawled into tho shell of the oyEter when tho bivalvo
was out on shoro grazing, and becoming frightened,
it dosed down on the “pur])” and took to water.
That may bo so. hut whero’s tho body, tail and
hair ? Tell ns that, ye scaly Solomon.

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.

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.

CITY AFFAIRS.
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

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 well cooked meats; if yon wish food

—
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. Showyour paw, Brain, yonliavechoico
of time and place to settle the matter.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
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 : <•*“*■-*

In rambling about tho city yesterday, we noticed
that the rams of Monday night were much heavier
than some suppose, and that the streets were badly
washed in many places. Heavy tains always do
much damage to onr streets, as nearly all the water
which fails on the hill above town flows down through
the city, and the impetus which it receives from the
inclination causes it to rush through the streets liko
the water in a mill race; and hence, during rainy
weather, our streets are badly cut up, particularly
when the sewers leading to the swamp aro incapable
of carrying off all the water.
