The Cotton Tax Bill —The
Baltimore Sun’s correspondent
writes that the Ways and Means
Committee, at their meeting Tues
day, .decided to postpone until next
session the bill to refund the cotton
tax. An effort will be made in the
House, however, to put the provis
ion on some appropriation bill, but
it is very doubtful if it passes at
this session, as many of the claim
ants for the refunding of the tax
declare that they would not get a
cent under the bill as it is now
framed.
The Comptroller-General pub
lishes the following in the Atlanta
Constitution: I will thank you for
space to say to those interested that
the Legislature in January last re
pealed the specific tax of 20 cents
per gallon on liquors, and now that
article is taxable only as other per
sonal property at its fair market
value, and it must be so returned to
the Tax Receiver, who in receiving
the return will enterit on the Tax
Digest under the head of “all other
property.” The tax to be paid in
the fall to the Collector, when col
looting the regular State tax.
A New York correspondent,
tays: “Rumors come thick and fast
from Washington to prominet poli
ticians here that anew Republican
combination is on foot whereby,
in order to preserve the unity of
the party, General Grant and, Gree
ley both are to be dropped atPhilia
delphia and some new man taken up.
Tha overtures to that end are suffi
ciently definite to excite consider
able apprehension on the part of the
Democratic managers, and there is
much telegraphing in consequence
between the Manhattan Club, Fifth
Avenue, and the New York delega
tion in Congress. What it all
amounts to we shall probably see in
* day or two.”
The first State carried by the
Liberal Republicans and Democrats
.combined is Connecticut. This is
ono of the closest States in the
Union; and the victory was com
pleted yesterday in the return of
Orris S. Ferry to the Senate of the
The Press UcciTentionand
Excursion.
It was our privilege to be in at
tendance upon tbe -deliberations of
tip; Press of Georgia in Atlanta, on
the Bth and 9th inst. A large num
ber of the papers in the State were
represented, and business of impor
tance transacted, most of which has
been given our readers, while por
tions of their deliberations cannot
be matured until the meeting of our
next legislature.
There is but one sentiment ex
pressed by every paper represented
at the meeting, and that is in be
stowing upon the hospitalities and
generosities of the Gate City, their
meed of praise for the manner in
which the. honors were lavished,
and we will Dot here endeavor to
give even an attempted outline of
the same. Suffice it to say, all were
well cared for, and will never regret
having met within the hospitable
borders of the city of Atlanta.
At the conclusion of the business
before the Association, several com
municatio'ns were read; from differ
ent railroad corporations, extending
courtesies to the body, which were
kindly considered, and upon a vote
being taken it was decided to ac
cept tho?e extended over the State
road to Chattanooga, Nashville, or
any other point that should be des
ignated.
At 8 o’clock on Friday morning
the magnificent Palace car—State of
Georgia—was under the shed, sub
ject to the will and pleasure of thir
ty or more representatives of as
many papers. The morning was
fair and beautiful, and soon we roll
ed off amid the hearty good cheer
of our brethren, whose business en
gagements prevented their joining
the pai ty in a brief respit from the
“ devils cry for more copy.”
On our way to Chattanooga we
were enabled to see (as well as to
feel) the practical workings of the
late patent air break, which has
been recently applied to the trains
on this road. It is pronounced by
railroad men to be one of the grand
est achievements of the day. The
entire train, by its use, is under the
immediate control of the engineer,
who, upon the approach of danger,
checks his train even before the
breakman could reach his post after
the alarm is sounded.
On our arrival at Chattanooga it
was agreed to extended our jour
ney to Nashville, Term., and visit
the State Exposition then in full
blast in that city. Acting upon our
decision, we were safely landed in
the “ City of Rocks,” at day light
on Saturday morning, where we
were cordially welcomed by a del
egation from the Nashville press
and officers of the Exposition, with
the announcement that wo would
“ quarter” at the Maxwell House,
whither we proceeded to divest
ourselves of the dust and cinders
incident to a 24 hour’s travel
through a dry and parched coun
try. Being regaled in clean linen,
we, en masse, sallied forth to.the
capacious dining hall, where we
found viands suited to the tastes
and appetite of all, in the greatest
profusion.
At 10 o’clock we visited the offi
ces of the Union and American and
Nashville Banner, where we were
cordially greeted and taken in charge
of by the Editors, who were untir
ing in bestowing the honors of the
day. At 11 we were escorted to
the exposition hall, by a fine band,
and when within the capacious
wall, all dispersed where inclina
tion, or fancy directed.
To attempt a description or enu
meration of what we saw on exhibi
tion, would be absurd, as volumes
might be written, and would fail to
give an adequate conception of the
beauty here displayed. The build
ing was large, aud so constructed
as to enable one to take in the en
tire surroundings at .a glance.—
While the articles on exhibition
were arranged in order and taste.
In the centre was a beautiful cas
cade, which, when viewed by gas
light, was beautiful in the extreme,
'and contrasted with the surround
ings in a manner peculiarly roman
tic. On the outside could be seen
a beautiful flower garden, contain
ing nearly every variety of flowers
and plants known to the botanist.—
Hard by was a canvass stretched,
which contained one of the grand
est works of genius we ever behgld.
It was emphatically an automaton in
the fullest sense, and was looked
upon by hundreds hourly, with the
deepest interest. On our first page
will.be found an elaborate descrip
tion of this work of genius, winch
is the result of 17 years hard labor,
by the person constructing it.
On every side, and in every de
partmentr we might have spent
hours, investigating and admiring.
But our time would not admit of
inora than a casual glance.
At 1 o’clock we were ushered
into the managers room where a
grand collation . was spread, to
which ample justice was done, and.
sentiments of greeting, welcome
and thanks were interchanged, and
the applause of—“pop went cham
paign bottles, ’* on every side, and
in rapid succession.
At 2y o’clock wc paid a visit to
the Capitol building, which is con
ceded to be the finest State build
ing iu trie Southern States. If is
beautifully located on a prominent
eminence, overlooking the entire
city. The building is over 200 feet
in heighth, built out of a bluish gray
(fossilated) limestone, beautifully
variegated Vith East Tennessee
marble, which gives it a grand ap
pearance. It cost about one mill
ion of dollars, notwithstanding
the stone was quarried within one
mile of the building by convicts,
which reduced the cost fully one
third. This building is a lasting
monument to the pride of our sister
State.
After spending some time in
“looking down” into Nashville,
from this eminence, we called on
Mis. James K. Polk. An hour
was here pleasantly and profitably
spent, in viewing the resting place
of tbe departed statesman—a na
tion’s pride—and in. conversation
with the venerable widow of our
illustrious ex-President.
After leaving Mrs. Polk’s, differ
ent points of interest in the city
were visited—the suspension bridge,
penitentiary, etc., etc. At night,
in compliance with an earnest re
quest from Gen. J. A- BatUe,
proprietor of the Battle *llOllßO, a
number dined at this house, and
were never more cordially received
or kindly treated. We here met
Mr. J. W. F. Bryson, who is oxteu
sively known in Georgia, as an at
tachee of the Atlanta Hotel, before
the war, who was untiring in his
efforts to make our visit pleasant
in the extreme. He is chief clerk
at the Battle House, and a whole
souled Georgian, as all will lestiny
who have met him.
Alter supper we again visited the
exposition to view' the beauties and
wonders on exibition by gas light.
The grandure and magnificence, of
the scenery illumined by thousands
of gas lights beggars description,
and must not be attempted. A
fine band was in attendance, and all
seemed gay and-happy.
After spending a couple of hours
here, we repaired to the Louisville
and Nashville depot, preparatory
to taking the train for the purposo
of visiting the Mammoth Cave in
Kentucky, whither we started
about 2 o’clock. We are forced,
from want of space,.to defer a no
tice of our visit to the cave until
our next issue. On the outside of
to day’s issue howover will be found
tiie proceedings of a meeting held
in the cave, which, probably, was
the first meeting of the kind every
held so far under the ground. It
must not be inferred that the excur
sionists on this occasion “run the
organization into the ground,” as
such was not the case.
The Fort Valley Mirror gives
the following account of a fight
with an alligator : *
A gentleman in Macon county,
Mr. Booker Barfield by name,
was fishing with cf trout linein White
Water creek a few days since, and
while crossing the stream in his
boat a monstrous alligator made his
appearance near the boat. Mr.
Barfield not liking the unwelcome
visitor much, gave him a very heavy
stroke with his paddle. As he
made the strike the boat slipped,
throwing him instantly into the deep
water. Being a good swimmer he
made way for the bank at the near
est point. Swimming rapidly down
the stream about thirty feet, he
fastened himself tenaciously to a
bough over the stream near
the water’s edge. He'rested a mo
ment and when he attempted to
climb the bank the huge croekodile
caught his thigh in his capacious
jaws, seuding his sharp teeth an
inch deep into the man’s leg. The
alligator made four desperate at
tempts to pull him under but failed
to get him entirely under. Becom
ing discouraged, the alligator turned
him loose, tearing the man’s pants
off. After releasing him he struck
several violent licks with his tail.
The boat came floating . slowly
down and Mr. Barfield was sue.
cessful in crawling in, and made his
escape. He %ays that he lay on the
bank of the creek an hour after his
successful but hazardous escape,
perfectly exhausted.
Position of Gen. Joiin B, Gor
don.—A New York letter-writer on
the Bth says:
The New York Sun of this morn
ing mentions the names of Gen.
Gordon, of Georgia, lion. Jacob
Thompson, of Memphis, formerly
of Mr. Buchanan’s, cabinet, and
other prominent Democrats, as
among those who have declared
for Greeley.
This is a mistake as to Gen. Gor
don, and doubtless as to other
Southern Democrats. I have had
repeated conferences with Gen.
Gordon every day since the nomi
nation of Greeley and Brown and
he has invariably stated, when his
opinion has been asked, that if the
Democratic party can elect its can
idates • a nomination should by all
means be made.
GyrsiES. —There is a small squad
of gypsies perambulating about the
outskirts of this town, like so many
Bedouins upon the flanks of a cara
van. They must havo come from
the direction of Savannah, ris the
“My own Gypsy Maid ” of the
squad has beautiful auburn ltair,
just like Pinky’s of the Savannah
News. She hums a plaintive love
ditty about him all the time. We
could not catch the exact meaning
of it, but enough she said to satisfy
us that Harris went back on her in
some way. —Eufaula Times.
Tennessee Resolutions.
The Tennessee Democratic State
Convention which convened on
Friday last, adopted the following
resolutions expressive of the sense
of the Democracy of that Stale :
1. That we recognize, among
other things, as cardial points m
our political faith the following:
The preservation of our local
State Government against Federal
encroachment and centralization of
power. The equality of all men be
fore tbe law-, and an equal partici
pation of citizens in the rights
and benefits of government. The
subordination of the military to the
civil authority. Tbe inviolability
of the right of habeas corpus. Tiie
purification of the corrupt civil ser
vice of the government. A rigid
economy in the expenditures of
government and a faithful compli
ance with its obligations. The
preservation of the national honor,
at home and abroad. The union
of the States, ar.d all the guarantees
of the Constitution respected
And, for the purpose of securing
the recognition and faithful applica
tion of these principles in the ad
ministration of our national govern
ment, we are ready and willing to
co-operate with all good citizens in
the pending Presidential contest,
without regard to other and minor
differences of creed or policy, or
past politicial names or associa
tions.
2. That inasmuch as the conven
tion of Liberal Republicans, held at
Cincinnati, in the first and succeed
ing days of the present month, has
presented to the country the names,
of Horace Greeley, of New Yoi-k,
and Benjamin Gratz Brown, of Mis
souri, as candidates for President'
and Vice President of the United
States, pledged to the maintenance
and enforcement of the doctrines
above enunciated, and have invited
the co-operation of all patriotic
citizens in their support, we deem
it but the part of duty to declare,
that, in the contest now well nigh
upon us, the said nominees deserve
the support of every patriot in the
land, as against a .ticket represent
ing the principles, policy and prac
tices of the present Federal)-, admin
istration. And while re-affirming
our purpose and desire to preserve
the integrity of the Democratic
parly, we do nevertheless declares,
in our behalf and, as we are well
satisfied, in behalf of the people we
here represent, that iu our opinion,
with tbe lights before us, the pre
sentation of candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency, in
the approaching contest, by the
Democratic party of the nation
would be unwise, unnecessary and
exceedingly dangerous to the wel
fare of the people at large.
Twenty-two delegates to*represent
Tennessee the Democratic National
Convention at Baltimore were than
appointed who were instructed to
carry out, in behalf of the Demo
cratic party of Tennessee, in said
Convention, the spirit of .the forego
ing declarations.
Wiiat Makes a Live Town.
The Miller County -Star, pub
lished at Colquitt, gives a list of
the assets upon which that town
predicates its reputation as a live
place, as follows:
The best citizens of any town in
Georgia, and the prettiest■ women ;
two preachers to preach our sins
away; two lawyers to get us out of
scrapes; forty dogs to keep us
awake at night; ten children to
the family to make us work ; twelve
young ladies who want to marry ;
three dry good stores to sell us
clothes; five groceries that sell
whisky for medicine; the best
painist in the State ; a good black
smith and wood shop; a good
school arid a good teacher ; plenty
of room for more good citizens ; va
cant houses that can be rented;
vacant lots that will be sold; a
railroad from Bainbridge that* will
soon be completed ; two churches ;
a music teacher who can’t be beat;
the best hotel in Georgia, (not the
Sherifrswho lias only four boarders
fare not very good but plenty );
five family grocery scores, all doing
a good business ; one doctor to
cure or kill us ; good water and.
plenty to drink, and the best news
paper in Southwestern Georgia
called the Miller County Star.
Stii.l at it. —Mr. Crew, the genial
proprietor of that wonderful hen
we rioticed awhile back, called to
see ns on Saturday last, and says
that she continued to set and lay
eggs until her little broods shuffled
off their conchylious shackles, -when,
to-prevent the hen from running
about too much with her brood, a
temporary coop was made and she
was put in it. This, however, made
no difference to her, as she contin
ued to lay eggs eveVy day in the
coop, just as she had been doing all
the time. In consideration of the
fact that she has only heard a roos
ter crow in a month, we should like
for Harris, the hen philosopher of
the Savannah Morning News, to ac
count for those eggs, and in behalf
of a dumbfounded community, we
ask him when is this thing going
to stop ? — Eufaula Times.
Will the Baltimore Conven
tion Make a Nomination ?—We
think the following States are cer
tain to instruct their delegates to
the Baltimore Convention to urge
the policy of uniting with the Liber
al Republicans upon Greely and
Brown:
Tennessee, 22 delegates: North
Caroliua, 20; South Carolina, 16;
Georgia, 22; Alabama, 18; Mis
sissippi, 16 ; Missouri, 30; Arkansas,
12 ; Florida, 6; Texas, 16; West
Virginia, 10 ; Kentucky, 24 ; Mary
land, 16 ; Connecticut, 12 ; New
York, 68. total, 318, out of a . total
vote in the Covention of 640.
It is probable that the Democrats
of several other States will similarly
instruct their delegates. We think
therefore that there is very little
prospect of a nomination by the
Baltimore Convention.— Chattanoo

The Last Scene at A |»s>o
mattox—Speech of a Fed
evai OiKcev.
There was a re-union of the Army
of she Potomac, held at Cincinnati
on the 7th instant. At this celebra
tion the oiation was delivered by
General Stewart L. Woolford, of
New York, and from this oration
we make the following extracts:
The morning crept slowly on—
first into gray dawn, then into rosy
flush. Still on ! still oil ! The
mists crept upward and into line
you wheeled, ail’d on your muskets
lay down, each man in place, to get
scant rest, which even in the ex
haustion of those thirty-six Jionrs of
terrible marching, you neither
sought nor heeded. Y'ou were
squarely across Lee’s front, and had
closed forever his last line of re
treat.
The enemy reaching your cavalry
advance, saw .the serried line of Un
ion troopers. Gordon gathered and
massed his men for their last charge.
Tattered and hungry, worn by cease
less marching and fighting, with no
hope, of victory, with little possibili
ty of escape, they closed their lines
with fidelity of discipline and a sol
dierly resolution to which words
can ao little justice—bat which each
soldier’s heart must recognize and
honor. .
As the old guard closed around
their Emperor at Waterloo, so these
men closed round the flags of their
lost cause. My heart abhors their
tieason. But it warms beyond re
straint to their manhood so grandly
braye, even in disloyality. Slowly
they advanced to their last attack.
No battle yell, no crack of the skir
misher’s rifle broke the strange still
ness of that Sabbath morn. Steadi
ly, silently they came, when Sheri
dan drew back his horsemen, as
parts some mighty curtain, and
there stood the dope-formed battal
ions of your infantry, the cannon
gleaming in the openings, quietly
awaiting the coming of Gordon’s
men.
"Instinctively your enemy halted.
Meanwhile Lee has turned back to
meet Grant and surrender, his com
mand. Sheridan swung bis cavalry
around upon Gordon’s left, and was
about to charge, when Custar reach
ed Longstreet. Assurance of sur
render was given, and the end had
come.
That Sabbath day, with tears and
in sorrow, Southern men folded the
banners of the “Lost Cause,” and
their bravest and best sought hon
orably to bury them from'sight for
ever.
II ow sad it is that poor ambitions,
jealousies of race, the wretched
greed of pelf and place, and the mis
erable hates of social rivalries,
should so often disturb the hearty
reconciliation of that surrender and
for a time revive the bitterness
which, yon then sought to bury in a
common gra.ve.
This hour is no time for politics.
Mine not the lips, I trust, to intro
duce them here. But when I think
of that heroic past, which your fa
ces and presence so vividly recall,
and then how trading, trickster pol
iticians, forgetful of what baptism
of blood sealed the new birth of the
nation seek to array races in need
less hostility, to excite the ignorance
of the one and the brutal prejudices
of the other, I would like to sum
mon a guard, half from the the rob
el army of Nothern Virginia and
half from the loyal army of the Po
tomac, lake such malcontents out,
give them drum-head court-martial,
immediate execution and soldierly
burial under the apple tree at Appo
mattox.
Bill for iA v&rgitV* IScsaefiU
Mr. Price, on leave, introduced
the following bill, May 6,1872:
To authorize the Secretary of the

weeks make such a disposition of
his affairs as will enable him to de
vote all his time exclusively to the
building of the Texas Pacific road,
which lie will make the great work
of his lite. General Dodge, the
builder of the Union Pacific, will
be his right-hand man and chief ex
ecutive officer.

says: Elliott has his wife here, a
very handsome, stylish woman,
with little negro blood in her veins,
hardly enough to distinguish her
from our own race. One day she
entered the diplomatic gallery,
where there were several wives of
Congressmen, and a flutter was the
consequence’. Some left, and oth
ers informed the gentlemanly ush
er that he must never again subject
them to the crushing indignity.—
Those who made the most fuss
about it were the wives of the most
Radical congressmen.
