The Washington Chronicle suspend*. Philadelphia Fire Department. The Fire Department of the above city makes a flattering report for the year 1876. Ths actual losses from fire during the year barely exceed a million of dollars. hike Find a Hole. It is now a self-evident fact that Repub licanism has served its day. Its mission has been accomplished, its work done very soon, it can retire to some private hole, and there remain until wanted. Rapid Growth. Jacksonville, Florida, possesses attrac tion* which has, and continues, to draw numbers to her population. But a few years since her population was some 2,000, now she claimes to have 12,000. To Prevent Illegal Voting. Several of our State exchanges call upon the Legislature to pass an act requiring every voter to vote at the precinct in the district in which he resides at the time of the election. SMublm to Step Down and Oat. Judge Gildersleeve, of the New York Criminal Court, announces his intention to be sterner in sentencing gamblers. He has just sentenced two faro-game proprietors to six months in the penitentiary and $ 100 fine. Pool sellers will also be looked after. A Lecture. We heard a gentleman remark last night, that he thought Henry Ward Beecher could be induced to visit Atlanta and lecture. Seme men of his notoriety would not seek to face the world, so it would be worth fifty cants or one dollar to see one possessed of so much brazen impudence. Tildea’s Opinion. The Governor’s confidence in his election has never; for a moment, been shaken. He has ever believed that he would be quietly and rightfully inaugurated in March. In fact his judg-ment, is generally made like that of Ex-Governor Brown, on a solid foundation. >•< The Effect on Business. The commercial journals from ail quar ters, we notice, unite in saying that the prospect now for an amicable settlement of the presidential controversy is having a fa vorable influence in commercial circles in their respective localities, and that there are but few merchants who are not looking forward to a brisk spring business. U 1 Right. The prospect of a fair count of the elec loral vote, is already having a good effect. Every one is satisfied that Tilden will re ceive the vote, and that he will be inaugur ated. Under his managent a great change will come over the country, in fact the United States will assume a high place in the rank of nations . Onr Next President. A New York correspondent of the Spring field Republican says that Gov. Tilden is as honest a politician as they make, as square as the timber *> ill admit of. and he thinks altogether too much of Samuel J. Tilden to run the risk of doing anything decided ly discreditable. But his ability, thorough knowledge of affairs, consummate tact and pride of character, place him unquestiona bly at the head of his class, and he has more business in his little finger than Earts or Morgan has in their whole body. The Press and the Electoral Bill. The various Sew York city journals are rectifying their position on the electoral plan question. The classification is as fol lows: For the bill — Herald, (independent,) Bulletin, (independent, ) Journal of Conunerc ej (democrat,) Evening Port, (republics ,) and Express, (democrat.) Against it— Times, (re publican,) Tribune, (republican,) and Oam utertial, (republican.) The World (democrat) gives it only a lukewarm support. It may be added that such of the clergy as make political matters the occasional subject of their sermons took due cognisance of the event in the pulpit on Sunday. They are generally in favor of it as a measure for the maintenance of the peace, and as probably about the best thing that can be done under tbe circumstances. It may be added that the St. Louis Westtiehe Post, Hon. Carl Schura’t paper, also warmly indorses the solution of the presidential muddle recom mended by the joint congressional commit tee. So do all the Democratic papers of St. toois, English and German. > ■■■ A gentleman met si rithwn of Somerville recently, and said mJnni, ** Your home is in Somerville, X believe ?” “ No,” replied' tbe Somerville man “My home u irf heaven.” “ Let me give you a little advice,”* said the gentleman: * you hurry and git a postal-card and write your folks that you am never coming home.*’— 3*d*a Journal. * GEORGIA NEWS. has a furniture fitch >ry. ! Newnan schools are in Ml blast. Labor in Taylor bounty is plentiful. Several cases of small-pox in and abont Dupont. The aggregate value *f Butts county is $823,934. Sickness is prevalent to some extent in Conyers. Cartersville supports eight bar-rooms and three churches. Mr. J. R. Smith and family, of Coweta, have moved to Texas. The aggregate value of the property of the colored people of Muscogee is $88,575. The Catholics have 25 priests in Georgia, 17 churches, 1 college, and a number of academies. Quite a number of Cobb county people have caught the Texas fever, and propose going there. The Cartersville Express is assured by farmers in that section that the small grain crop will be abandoned. Capt. T. G. Budd, a former merchant of Charleston, fell dead from his chair whiie eating sapper in Savannah on Wednesday. Waynesboro Expositor: Oar farmers are going ahead with their work for the year. Our physicians are kept busy with pneu monia cases. The same paper says: The wine belong* ing to an estate ia this city will be sold in a short time. Some of it was bottled in 1796, and it is thought that none of it will sell for less than twenty-five dollars a bottle. At this rate. the entire lot will bring about three thousand dollars. Chronicle and Sentinel: William and Zachariah Agee were drowned on Saturday last in the Ogeeehee river, at Mayville Mills. They were crossing the river in a boat, on their way to the Mayfield depot, and the water being very swift the current carried them over the dam, drowning both. William Agee leaves a wife and four chil dren, and Zachariah a young wife. Donglasville Medium: Mr. Mat Daniel and F. M. Watson killed a few miles from town, on the 14th inst., while the “ beauti ful snow ’’ covered the earth, a large rattle snake. His snakeship was three feet in length and' very large in proportion and seemed in the full vigor of life. He was found near a hen’s nest, the nest having been broken np by the snake, it is supposed. Rockdale Register: A cyclone passed in about two miles of Conyers on last Satur day evening. Ae have been unable to hear of the extent of the damage done. Though we learn that several of the out houses as well as the dwc’ling of Mr. John Bartlett, of this county, were considerably injured by the storm. The top of hio dwell ing was blown off. His crib, lot fences, stable, etc., were blown down, and his place considerably injured and torn up. His son, a young man, was blown against a tree and bruised and hurt, 'hough not seriously. This is the third or fourth visitation the storm king has made in this vicinity. Newnan Herald: For some weeks past, Grantville has been much disturbed over her annual municipal election. On the first Saturday in this month an election was held which decided the contest so far as the Board of Aldermen was concerned, but there was a tie between the two candidates for Mayor. On Saturday last another elec tion was held for Mayor, which resulted in another tie. Dr. Hogan and Mr. Cotton were the candidates and the votes were equally divided between them. Everybody within the corporate limits and some over the line, we expect, ware carried to the polls to vote, and breakfasts, suppers, barbecues, etc., to say nothing about numerous buck ets full of whisky were distributed around promiscuously, and yet there was no elec tion. We call for a Returning Board. A Mash. [New York Clipper.) “You’ve made a masli,” said one of the ushers who had come around from tbe front of the house as bearer of dispatches to the Ham Brothers, “the acrobatic break neck song-and-dance marvels of the nine teenth century.” (See small bills.) “Did you see them two pretty girls, dressed just alike, in the front row of the family-circle on the prompt side?” “Oh, yes,” ehorused the Ham Brothers. “I guess they are twins.” “Thev asked me if I wouldn’t say that they would like to see you out in front after the show.” “All right,” chimed the Hams; “much obliged. We’ll beer you the next time we see you in Volmer’s. Smoke?" “Don’t care if I do. Then I’ll tell the girls that it will be all right?” “Yes.” The usher returned to the front of the house to report to the twin beauties of the family circle, and the Brothers Ham pro ceeded to perform their toilets with more than usual care, asking each other time without number: “Is the cork all out of mv ear?” Patiently they waited, while their jealous comrades lingered dose at hand, for the coming of the twins. At last they came, and, approaching them, one said; “The Ham Brothers?” in an inquiring they answered, all smiles. Again one of the yddng misses spoke: “Mother wishes us to ask you if it was just as convenient*wouldn’t you please pay for washing)those song-and-dance suits?'’ Hu It Bad. -I , >• • i a "*;ti fc ——i f i Old Gideon Wells js. down on, the elec toral settlement, at least unsays that it is “spurious, illegitimate, illegal, fiplseto,the country, and the constitution, whatever might be the raralt.” ATLANTA TELEOKAM-JANUABY 26, 1877.

The falhotton Standard says : Tiiis is a i favoriti word with the average Georgia Law maker at this time, yet we think it is all talk an< no gum, just as it was in the last Legislature. There is too much of the “true nwardness” about our Legislators for the n to curtail many of the sinecures held 1 eretofore by “Combination Men.” And it is our opinion that all this “thun der” al out Reform and Retrenchment will fall stil bom and never amount to anything' more tl iau noise. More time and money is spent i: i talking about it all than anything else th wise-acres have before them.
