' I ' V !SS5! Th.© Greorgia "W'eekly Telegraph. THE TELEGRAPH. MACON,• FRIDAY, JUNE -25, 18C0. Memorial Volume of Hon. Howell Cobb. We have seen come of the proof sheets of the nes " Memorial -Volume of General Coibb, how pass ing through the press of J. B. Lippincott & Co., of Philadelphia, and edited by our townsman, Rev. S. Boykin. Judging from appearances, and from what the editor tells ns will be the character of the Volume, we doubt not that the • book will be alike creditable to the,publishers, and to the lamented dead. If willbe gotten up in Lippincott's best style, in large, clear type, elegantly bound and enriched by two capital steel engravings of General Cobb, one of which it from a photograph taken just previous to his death. Asyetthe.publishershavenotannounced the size and price of the Volume; but those items will be given in due time. The contents of the volume will be varied and interesting, and will be composed of the ad dresses delivered in honor of Gen. Cobb at Ath ens and Macon; of the sermons delivered at the funeral; the able sketch by Hon. E. A Nisbet; an interesting communication concern ing the last moments of Gen. Cobb, by Bishop Beckwith, , and various interesting communica tions from distinguished individuals—all volun tary tributes from friendly hearts. The proceedings of the Bar, in various parts of the State, are given, and all is throwntogeth- . ex in a manner that makes the volume one con tinued whole. Orders for the book may be sent to S. Boy kin, Macon, Ga., and if any particular style of binding is desired that may be stated. We feel certain that each of the many friends of Gov. Cobb will desire a copy of this work, because of its intrinsic value and on account of the admirable likenesses it will contain. We have seen a private letter from the Publishers, in which they say: “We will be answerable for the elegance of the book, and think you will • be satisfied when we are done with it.” Keep Qntet.

The-Spanish Regent is said to be over seven' ty years of age. He bas been a liberal for the last twenty years, and was exiled in 1854 for being concerned in a rising at Saragossa. He is not a republican, and his position between the republicans on one side, and the legitimists and Bourbonists on the other, will givehim an uneasy and perilous berth. The new government, has however* given notice in the Cortes, that it will tolerate no question or opposition. The minis ter of the interior has proclaimed that cries for a republic in the streets will be considered and punished ns an offence. Prim declared in the Cortes that the . government must be inflexible and even .trad in . repressing disorder. The frolic in Spain is therefore over for the present; but Serrano is too old to promise a long regen cy, and probably his advanced age may have had a good deal to do with the selection. It wa3 perhaps a compromise between rival as pirants who .preferred to await the chances of another deal which, in the order of nature, can not long be deferred. From tbe Eternal City. The Rome Courier, of Tuesday, says the sup ply of wheat still continues inadequate to meet the consumption of the mills, and a good article of red wheat would now command §1 GO in the market. The Courier announces a public meet ing next Thursday to make arrangements for an agricultural fair on the 1st of November next. Sales of Lands in Cedar Yaxley.—The Cou rier has heard, from an authentic source, that Mr. Wm. Peek, living two miles from Cedar- town, in Polk county, has sold two hundred and fifty acres of his home tract, with very indiffer- . ent improvements on it, for twenty-five thou sand dollars, or one hundred dollars per acre, and that he was negotiating with another party for the sale of an additional two hundred end fifty acres, of the same place, without improve ments, at eighty dollars per acre. These are the .highest prices we have heard of any farming lands selling in Georgia. their breeches pockets. Divested of the car- niferous element, the mules will grow fat, and bellow joyfully for a month over a single sack of it, and, in fine, Georgia will settle down to the single business of raising cotton, with a clear conscience, satisfied that nothing else but cot ton is worth a thought in the material universe; for cotton shall compose not only all the fruits From Monroe County. The Advertiser, of yesterday, chronicles a new hotel, under the superintendence of Mr. J. B. Carnp. Monroe Female College Commencement oc curs JulySd. Rev. George E. McCall, of Haw- kinsville, preaches the Commencement sermon; Hon. 'C. Peoples the literary address, and CoL A. D. Hammond the address before the Alum- ntean Association. Mb.Eaelt Cleaveland, of Monroe, gathered .sixty bushels of white wheat off of two acres, and took off the prize of $25, which he de served. The Advertiser says : » The wheat crop of this county is generally conceded to beroore than an average one, and at present prices will prove quite remunerative to those who planted largely. The wheat crops of Upson, Pike, Jasper, . Jones and Bibb, are all reported to be excellent, and farmers appear io be well satisfied with tbe harvest. Thecotti and cotton crops are very promising. The beneficient seasons which farmers have had recently have pushed com and cotton to their utmost, and prospects are now more promising than ever, if that were possible. It is estimated that the wheat and oat crop of Butts, for the year, will double any harvest since -the dose of the war. If other sections of the State have done as well—and reports are very encouraging—Georgia will greatly diminish her importation of breadstuff's. Mr, Holland informs ns that he gathered thirty- three bushels of wheat from one acre of land. This is probably the best single acre of wheat in the county, and is a little ahead of any of our friends in Southwest Georgia. On Friday night last, three fine mnles were stolen from a plantation in Monroe, between Forsyth and Indian Spring. On Saturday, the pursuer* were upon the track of the thieves, with good prospects of success. Don't Want to be hit by the Pieces.—The New York Sun (Radical authority) explains Mr. Seward's trip to San Francisco, Alaska and Ja pan as follows: “ Before starting on his present tour he stated, very explicitly, that within a year there would be a break-up of President Grant’s administra tion, which he pronounced the weakest admin istration the country has ever had; and he as-- signed as one reason for going away that he wished to be as far away as possible when the break-up takes place.” We judge from Mr. Seward’s trip, that he thinks the collapse will be violent and the pieces fly a great ways. • The British Gnn Boat Philomel steamed up to Savannah on Sunday. The News says she is of CTO tons burthen — draws ten feet water—bark rigged—carries three rifled guns—is driven by two screws and makes dov es knots under steam alone. Fine Whisky.—Mr. J. W. O’Connor brought a bottle of old Monongaliela into our. office yesterday, and some experienced friends to test it. They pronounced it the best in the world, which was all they could say.

Six Cuban leaders, including Col. Ryan, have been arrested by order of Secretary Fish on complaint of Minister Roberts. Warrants are out for many others. All the Cubans, except Ryan, have been bailed. Several more cases of yellow fever and one death, Telegraph. The Court declares intermarriages between whites and negroes null and void and makes the parties indictable. It affirms the existing pro visions of the Code of Georgia upon this sub ject, and that the declaration of the Constitu tion that “ The social status of the citizen shall never be the subject of legislation,” absolutely denies to the Legislature the power to pass laws compelling the two races to unite in social inter course, and permits the proprietors of churches, theatres, railroads, steamboats, hotels, stages, etc., eta, to make their own provisions regula ting the classifications, accommodation, seats, etc., of negroes. We consider this decision of much importance to the people of this State, inasmuch as it will deliver us from all those vexatious controversies which are arising in other States to the great embarrasment of tbe people, and the damage of common carriers, publicans and showmen, who are frequently put in awkward dilemmas and harrassed with lawsuits for consulting the sim plest laws of propriety. If this decision is not over ruled by the United States Supreme Court under the so-called civil rights bill, we shall es cape n great deal of trouble and discord grow ing ont of the prevailing war of the Radicals against reason and nature. The negroes will acquiesce in a segregation which they know to be right and proper, and which, to the most of them, will be more agreeable than the attempt to crowd themselves among the whites. On the other hand, we think something is due to negroes from the common carriers in Geor gia, since the former are now restricted to infe rior accommodations. The old system of half fare ought to be restored. It should never have been abolished. Half fare is enough for the ne groes, if they axe required to confine themselves to a second class car.

The Brunswick Appeal of Saturday chronicles the reception in that city, on Tuesday, of a dis tinguished delegation from Eufaula, consisting of Hon. E. S. Shorter, Major L. F. Johnston, Dr. P. D. Baker, Messrs. Wm. D. Cox, Wm. H. Bray and T. J. Perkins. They came at the re quest of the city authorities and business men of their city and surrounding section, for the purpose of officially examining into the merits of Brunswick as a port and outlet for their section; to learn the exact status of the great railroad enterprise known as the Brunswick, Albany and Eufaula Road; and to form the acquaintance of the business men of the city they hope soon to be connected with over this route. The party were entertained as guests of the city of Brunswick, were shown the harbor and surroundings in a tug-boat, and personally as certained the depth of water by lead and line. The Appeal says that at a meeting on Thursday night, Hon. E. S. Shorter, spokesman of th*e delegation, expressed much delight and satis faction with Brunswick and her people, prom ising a good report upon the return of the del egation. The Appeal adds; Mr. S. gave a few facts of interest to our peo ple, in reference to the construction of the road from Eufaula to Montgomery, of which he is a leading spirit; assuring us that every thing at their end of the line would be completed in am ple time, and expressed toe most feeling inter est in the early commencement and completion of our road, which would finish his connection on toe shortest possible line to a good Atlantic port. He demonstrated that the people of his portion of Alabama and beyond, would naturally ship over this route, for toe best of reasons—it would be their most expeditious and economical route to an eastern outlet. Although they now had choice of two “rainbow routes” to Savannah they were not content; they wanted a direct line to Brunswick, and must have it. They had always shipped via Apalachicola, but toe com pletion of the railroads transfered their entire business to Savannah, and the completion of the Brunswick, Albany and Eufaula road would again transfer it, and this tone to Brunswick. He continued in this encouraging strain at some length, closing his remarks by extending toe hospitalities of Eufaula to toe Mayor and Aldermen, and toe citizens generally of Bruns wick On Friday toe delegation took another trip and examined toe lower portion of toe harbor and bay. The Appeal says: During this pleasant and delightful trip, they witnessed nineteen feet measured at low water, on toe shallowest portion of the Brunswick bar, and five fathoms in the bay. This fact, had they been in donbt, would have made them strong witnesses as to our bar and harbor capac ity, and that we have all toe water we claim. A landing was made on St. Simon’s Island, at the plantation of toe late Hon. Thos. Butler King, where the pleasures of toe morning were diversified in toe enjoyment of those delicious claims and fish for which our coast is so famous, and in examining toe grounds of this once mag nificent estate. A flairs in Colnmbns. The Sun & Times makes mention of the first cotton bloom. June Apples, rosy cheeked, juicy ones, of large size, are becoming plentiful. "We have heard of but few ripe peaches, and have seen none, says the Sun. The Columbus people are moving to build a new theatrical hall , Tee Sun says Mrs. Nancy Struct, of Lee coun ty, Alabama, died May 13, 18G9, aged eighty- four years, having lived sixty-six years with her husband, who survives her. The same paper publishes toe following from a New York dis patch dated the 18th: Net receipts of toe week at all U. S. ports 10,G95, against 10,133 the previous week, and 3,544 same week last year ; exports S aris of toe week from all U. S. ports to Great ritain 2,320; exports from all U. S. ports to Continent 5,360; stock on hand and on ship board not yet ck ed at all U. S. ports 88,505. The Supreme —«it of Keeping Poor.—The Sun noticing the farmers’ wagons carrying off toe corn, says: Southern farmers understand well toe art of beeping poor. Plant little com and a heap of cotton; we can buy com cheaper than we can raise it, are their cries. The Bnnuner comes, they have sold cotton for com, couldn’t buy enough with the proceeds of cotton to pay for provisions, ond are compelled to borrow money at 24 per cent, to make a crop. It takes all the cotton to pay for com, when both could be raised. The Southern farmer works twelve months for toe benefit of the West and North, and by his own action makes himself poor and them rich. Nobody to blame but himself for not being able to hold cotton. CITY AFFAIRS. Life Insurance.—The subject of insurance upon lives seems to engross the minds of our people more than ever before. At no period have we seen such an interest manifested upon the subject, as now ex ists over the whole country. It is the popular idea of the day. You can scarcely find a person that is insurable but what has a policy, or intends some day to get one. Policies are issued, not only to benefit toe heirs of the dead, but to benefit toe liv— ing, by insuring the payment of a certain sum at a Outrageous.—One of toe most outrageously in famous and disgusting cases of miscegenation was before toe Mayor yesterday morning that has ever been known in this community. Offioer Pridgen, on Monday last, arrested, in one of toe negro dens of infamy and crime up on Cotton Avenue, two white wretches, named Sallie Grier and MattieSteele,andabigblacknegronamedEd.Cam- . ell.

He made other statements which will not bear publica tion, and all of which were impudently and brazenly acknowledged to be true by toe wretches arraigned —one of whom was in a twitter all toe while she was before the Mayor. His Honor seemed to be per fectly shocked, as were nearly the whole auditory at toe shamelessly degrading and infamous devel opments of the case, as made by the negro. The negro was discharged, but his two foul were ordered to work on the streets for thirty days. One of these creatures, Mattie Steele, was brought here recently, in a chain-gang from Atlanta, by a railroad contractor, and released. We noticed toe outrage upon the community at toe time it was per petrated, and in the above case we have a most dis gusting evidence of its magnitude. The other is a degraded wretch, who was run out of town some twelve months since for her infamous deeds. We were glad to hear His Honor tell her, yesterday, that if she and others like her would hang about the city, he would make them behave, or they should work the streets until they would be glad to leave and stay away. We might mention, in this connection, that toe negro dens of shame, crime and filth on Cotton Ave nue, have been ordered to be suppressed forthwith, and toe city police are now overhauling certain premises on that thoroughfare with a view to clos ing them up immediately. It was here that the dark and damnable scheme was hatched for the murder of poor Sheffield; it is here that toe low and degraded scum of humanity seek food and rest when they arrive in town; and it is here that toe thief, murderer and debauchee hold their secret conclaves and mature their plans for plundering and preying upon the community. These dens should have been broken up long since, and now that toe city authorities have entered upon the work, we hope they will put it through swiftly and thoroughly. Foreign News.

A California paper says of the Chinaman as a railroad builder, that his labor is cheap, his temper is good, his disposition is docile, his in dustry is unflagging, his strength and endurance are wonderful, and his mechanical skill is re markable. oi’ Kentucky Military Inotitute We have before us a very graphic and interesting report of toe dos ing exercises of the last session of this splendid in stitution, located six miles south of Frankfort, Ky., and in one of the most beautiful and healthyregions of the State. The Institute has long been the pride of Kentucky, and, under its present able and effi cient management, it will soon be the pride of the whole South. We notice in the list of graduates on the 10th instant, young gentlemen from four or five Southern States, which shows that toe old Institute is still in a flourishing condition and is still com manding toe patronage and support of the Southern people. The writer has personal knowledge of the merits and excellence of toe Kentucky Military Institute, and he is sure that the young men of Georgia, who may become inmates of its classic walls, will find it to be all that its Prindpal and able Faculty claim /or it We should be rejoiced to learn that, on the Gthof September, toe beginning of the next Academical year, one hundred young Georgians had presented themselves for admission to this Institute; for when they left it, we should be sure that we had one hundred well-educated, well-disciplined young men among us, thoroughly prepared to enter upon life’s nigged pathway, and well panoplied to engage suc cessfully in whatever they might undertake, worthy of well-directed effort. Those who would make inquiries or seek informa tion in regard to this old and excellent Institution, should address CoL R. T. P. Allen, Superintendent, Famidale, Franklin county, Ky. would have been felt had it not been received. We cannot see how any one who has even a small in come can delay insurance upon his life. There are many insurance companies, and all of them are considered good so far as we know, but we think preference should be given to our bouto- St. PacUs Church.—We have stated heretofore that a new Episcopal Church bad recently been ganized in this city, and yesterday, by request of* friend, we rode out to see the building whi* * being prepared for divine worship, by the new cJ* greg&tion and the generous assistance of a few riders. The building is known as the old and was, virtually, presented by toe City Co^J 1 for the purpose for which it is to be used. It oated on tbe Forsyth, or lower Vineville road, »bo» two hundred yards beyond College street, and T the left of the road as you pass out of town, jt - 4 a brick building about 60 feet long by 25 feet wy* and though presenting, at present, a rather low J!) ungainly appearance, yet, such repairs are beh! made upon it as will vastly improve its appear^ 1 and make it really a very nice, convenient e fortable little church. "Windows on both sides sm at the ends of the building have been opened » entire new floor laid, a well arranged chancel fitw rip, and there is to be two front doors leading im the church, a portico, belfry, etc. All this ia beir° done through the zeal and indefatigable enewyf the worthy Bector of Christ Church, P,e T n t Bees. ’*• em companies, when known to be strong and man aged by prudent men.

We are informed that the Cotton States Life Insurance Company, only recently started in our city, has, rince the first of May, issued near 150 polices, and are now issu ing from five to eix per day. This is as it should he. Let our home institutions prosper. Let our people encourage them and build them up, until we shall become an independent people, upon matters of insurance as well as upon all others. Farmer’s Academy.—This institution is situated some eight or ten miles on the Houston road, and two miles from Seago’s Station on toe Southwestern railroad, in what is known as the Rutland District. We are thus explicit in locating the Academy, be cause there will be some very interesting exercises St. Paul’s Church, when completed, will ^ great convenience to Episcopalians living« part of the city in which it is located. . ..Ibe ge**, will be free and tbe Bector will receive for tig only the voluntary contributions of tlioee who v tend service in that Church.

Night Scenes in the Bible. By Bev. Daniel Yu-v D. D., author of “Walks and Homes of Jer^ Zeigler, McCurdy & Co.: Philadelphia. This ia one of the most interesting and gw** contributions to Sacred literature that we hive gS for many a day. It is a volume of about 550 pac 6 . devoted exclusively to the events of Scripture thy occurred at night, which are presented with greg! force of language and beauty of im&gerv Tfc, work is elegantly illustrated with steel plate’s bv the best of American artiste, which give to it addition] t Train* Tvt.il* th* rAmaimlp.r nt th* we would mention that Bev. Dr. David Wills, of this city, is to deliver a lecture; Mr. S. W. Goode will examine his school publicly; there will be a sumptuous dinner prepared, of which the friends of the institution and visitors will be cordially invi ted to partake; and at night there will be an exhi bition in the way of tableaux, charades, etc., to gether with an examination of the class in music. We dare say all who attend will spend the day and evening most pleasantly, and have a “feast of rea son and flow of souL" Convict Labor.—Can this labor be worked suc cessfully, and at a saving to our cities and counties, saying nothing of such labor upon our public works? We answer that it can. It works with complete euo- cess in our own city. The plan adopted by the May or has resulted in a great saving to the city, and its effect has been to deter that species of crime for which such compulsory labor is exacted. -When they are properly managed no guards are required to keep them from running away; only let them know that any refractory conduct will cause their time to be doubled, and no difficulty willbe experi enced in keeping them at work. We understand that tbe county has several prisoners in the jail serving out sentences from three to twelve months. Why cannot these prisoners be set to work upon the roads near the suburbs of the city? About State Fair willbe held at tbe Laboratoiy in Vine ville next fall, the roads to the place should be graded and put in fine order. Will not the author ities of the county see the necessity of moving in the thing at once? Let these prisoners be compelled to .work the roads and our word for it, crime will ho lessened and the county save many a dollar. Can not the Grand Jury act in this matter and have all the county prisoners set to work ? The city has set a good example, let the county profit by it. Matob’b Court.—His Honor’s morning levee was again well attended yesterday, though the docket was rather light in the number of cases entered. One case, however, was entered, and to which we have alluded elsewhere, which was the heaviest draft upon His Honor’s patience and forbearance that has been made in a long while. The first case called was against Silas Gibson (ne gro) for stealing. It was continued. The next was a case of drunkenness against one D. G. McAllnm, who was before His Honor on Mon day for the same offence and was released on toe payment of guardhouse fees. This time he was or dered to work on the streets for ten days. Me. is a sort of sub-contractor on the Brunswick road, and came to town to employ hands; hut he had such bad luck in securing them, and he so frequently came in contact with iced juleps and other mollify ing influences invented to cooldown the system this warm weather, that he had not the nerve to resist them and they floored him. He assured the Mayor that if he would let him down easy, just one more time, he would take an oath on the Bible, then nnder his hand, that he would never touch another drop. His Honor couldn’t see it, and Me. was escorted to his scat. Another case of the same nature, with dis. con. attached, cost the offender S5 and costs. Sallie Grier and Mattie Steele, two degraded and infamous white wretches, were then brought up for fighting about a big buck negro. They were ordered to work on the streets for thirty days each. Called Fob.—Sheriff Dean, of BarlxAr county, Ala., arrived yesterday with a requisition upon the city authorities of Macon, for the body of Jim Long, the burglar, to whom we have recently alluded, and who has been lying in the guard-house since his ar rest, about ten days since. The Sheriff and his pris oner leave for Eufaula this morning. Bibb Superior Court.—This Court was engaged yesterday in the trial of two or three trivial civil cases of no interest to toe public. The trial of Wm. Burgay, charged with the mur der of Mortimer Minchew, will, we understand, take place this morning—Solicitor General Crocker for the State, and General Warren and Mr. Duncan, of Houston county, and Messrs. Samuel Hunter and John B. Weems for the defence. The case prom ises to be one of considerable interest. One Fare,—We are much pleased to learn that toe various railroads leading to and from this city will, in a few days, issue round, or one-fare tickets, to the watering places in Georgia. In this connec tion, wo understand that tbe Messrs. Collier & Co., of the McIntosh House, Indian Spring, have made arrangements with the Stage Company to carry pas sengers from Forsyth to their House and return for one fare. By this convenient and liberal arrange ment, a Haconite can visit the Indian Spring and return home for toe small amount or $4.50. More Bain.—Two very heavy rains fell a few miles east and north of this city yesterday, evening about sunset and during toe early part of tbe night. A very dark and threatening , cloud arose to the sonth of toe city, about five o’clock, and as it ap proached, it seemed to divide—a portion passing to the east and the other to the west. But little rain fell in toe city from either. The cloud passing to toe west was heavily charged with electricity, and we rarely witness more vivid flashes of lightning than it gave. Pen Spobt.—It takes all sorts of people to make a world; and toe list isn’t at all complete unless the no-sort—numericallynot an inconsiderable class —is included. A majority of mankind, as things go and appear, are not marked by any special char acteristics. Their emblem is a cypher, their achiev- ments a blank, their lives an inanity. Circumstances not only govern many people, but they make noth ing of them and keep them there severely. The rank of parties, associations, churches and all that, think for the file, and substantially act for it. If it takes all sorts of people to make toe world, it takes only one to direct its management. It is all right if there is a big head and good heart in the man agement, but if not the chances are that it will be all wrong. If afflicted with doubts about toe mat ter, gather up a few samples and see for yourself. Troubles, like wedlock, never come singly. The moment a man tumbles down every body rushes to kick him on his unwelcome descent. The world rather enjoys seeing somebody else stuck immova bly fast in the mud. This-is very wicked, but it is as natural as to put the best foot forward. Etiquette is a fine thing, bntit may exisit without any heart whatever. Half the “manners” that grace society are pnt on for effect. Behind it all is a real nature;, hat is either more boor or bumpkin than gentleman or lady. “All’s well that ends well,” is a maxim that clip ped dogs, cats, horses, etc., don't subscribe to in fly time. value, while the. remainder of the mechanical xots is of the most elegant description. 1* book to read, and no more elegant or’ A Fine Storehouse.—Mr. Wm. A. Huff is now building on Cotton Avenue, between Griffin’s and Cherry’s, near Cherry street, a storehouse which, when completed, will be the finest in this city. It is to be 110 feet deep, 42 feet front and three stork s high. The front is to he of iron and handsomely ornamented. It will be just such a building as any one who is acquainted with the great com and pro vision king of Central Georgia might expect. Huff does nothing on a narrow, sordid scale, and under takes nothing that he cannot carry out successfully and in tiptop style. This handsome store will be com pleted and ready to rent to any good tenant by the first of October next, and we shall congratulate the man who secures it, as he will have a splendid stand, ample room, and tbe nicest place for business in all this region. Bibb Superior Court.—No business of general interest to the public was transacted in this Court yesterday. On account of the recent finding of the bill of indictment and the absence of witnesses, the case of the State ts, Wm. Burgay. charged with the murder of Mortimer Minchew, was continued at the instance of the accused. Two cases on the common law docket were dis posed of. and material is < is a charming boos to read, ana no more elegant or nament for toe parlor table or library has gone Ik a the American press. “Right Scenes in the Bible.”—I have received! copy of “Night Scenes in the Bible” by Rev. Did. iel March, and take pleasure in commending it to toe public. It is a beautiful book, rich in thonrht and style, an ornament for the parlor table, nndj companion for the house of meditation and retire, ment I hope the people will buy and read it,«j then leam to love toe Bible more and more.

Defeated.—They have two bully fire companiec I in Eufaula. and on Thursday last they had a trial of I their respective machines. The result was, that the I Phoenix, No. 2, beat toe Cleburne, No. 1, through a I hundred feet of hose, four feet four inches, and ] thereby carried off toe prize of a pair of handsome [ silver goblets offered by the City Council to the ro tors.

Bob Wagner seemed to have engrossed much.-of its attention, as he was indicted in several cases for burglary, in and around the city. This Grand Jury certainly deserves the thanks of the public for their energy^ and activity in bringing offenders to justice. Sick Locals.—We find in late numbers of the Co lumbus Sun and AtlantaNewEra, paragraphs allud ing to the sickness of their respective “Locals.” Sympathy for them wells np from toe veiy bottom of our boots. It's a mean and contemptible disease that will attack a poor “Local,” standing to his post like a man, and resisting the combined assaults of the community for which he writes, labors and waits.
