passage of Iho bill by the Legislature, grant
ing a charter to this road. At the time the
article was penned we yere not aware who
was the originator of the but we have
since learned tha£ it was the Hon. B. F.
Bruton, Senator feom this district; As all
of onr Mr. ,TutnUin of Ran
dolph, the entire credit foi the passage of
the biP, we think it but justice, to Mr. Bru
ton, that the people of this district should
know that the bill was brought into exist
encel»y him; by him the bill was drafted,
and placed in bands of Mr. Tttmfin* to
be brought up in the House, which he did,
and as an exchange justly says : The peo
ple are largely .indebted to him for the able
manner in which be conducted the bill in
the House.
Calhoun and Baker Counties. —We have
just returned from a wading trip through
the counties above named and can safely
say they are blest with the largest amount
of water privileges of any lands we have
bt-held lately. They are certainly in a bet
ter Condi for the purposes of navigation,
fishing,’ and .swimming than they are for
cultivation. The farmers are greatly be
hind, owing to the immense quantities of
rain that has fallen during the present
and past month. The freedmen are work
ing well, so far as could learn in both coun
ties. We were glad to find, that the cit
izens did not have cotton on the brain very
extensively, but were planting corn enough
to bread them.
The Bainbridge, Ccthbert & Columbus
Railroad -- The bill gritting the aid of the
State to this curions project, received the
final endoreement of the Legislature yet,*
terday, and was sent to the Governor.—
Albany News.
We ask the News why it is so very cu
rious ? Is it “curious" that the South
Georgia and Florida Railroad should be
built. We certainly do not think; that the
News will acknowledge that there is any
thing “curious” about this. Though it is
“curious" to us, that the News who has aK
ways professed to keep a watchful eye on
the funds of the State, fthould say nothing
in relation to the State’s paying over three
millions of dollars to the Brunswick and
Albany road when only $54,000 and inter
est was due. But the News like many
others; is inclined to be mum, wheu its im
mediate section is directly interested, and
quietly withdraws—and says; “well wo do
not conscientiously believe the State ought
to pay this large amount of money for the
Brunswick road, yet, we will be benefited
by it, so drive on your applo-cart we will
lie low.” But as soon as a bill is passed
granting a charter to any road that does
not materially - benefit Albany, with the
Nftcs it is very “curious." Colonel, these
“curious” things will happen sometimes, but
if the road, is ev.er built, we hope it won’t
injure your flourishingliitle city in the least
Charles Sumner. —The Easton (Penn ,)
Argus, speaks thus, of this delectable, po
litical, inniquitious, reprobate, and bis
sensible widow ; It is said that* Mrs.
Charles Sumner, formenrly the widow
Hooper, and now grazing somewhere in the
Alps as the widow of the Senator from Mas
sachusetts, has sent a handsome cash pre
sent across the water to the relict of the

d res that Brooks derserved the thanks f the
public for having drubbed her consort, and
that during her brief stay with him as
his matrimonial partner she was only pre
vented from repeating the famous scene
in the Senate by Charles’s adject cowardice’.

From Atlanta.
Atlanta, March 19.-—Both Houses ad
journed tine die last night.
Yesterday a motion was made in the Sen
ate authorising the Sheriff of any county to
call on the Governor for the use of troops
whenever they deemed it necessary,
Hungerford (Republican) though the
resolution unnecessary, and moved to lay it
on the table. The motion was sustained—
ayes 16. nayes 12.
On the motion for the reconsideration of
the indefinite postponment of the fifteenth
Amendment, yesterday morning, the lesoln
tion was sustained,and the Amendment was
put os its final passage and defeated by the
following vote; Republicans voting for
adoption t: democrats voting *for adoption
5. Republicans voting against adoption,9;
Republicans absent and dodging the vote 8,
Thus the Fifteenth Amendment was slaug
.tered in a Republican Senate after its pas**
saga by a Democratic House of Represen
tatives.
Both Houses passed the General Appro
priation bill, which was' signed by the
Governor.
•The House took up the Senate’s resolu
tion to purchase Rijn ball's Opera House for
the Capital building. The Chair ruled that
the majority having voted to adopt the
Senate resolution, and a quorum being pre
sent but refusing to vote, he decided that
|he question was settled.

Mrs. President Grant. —Mrs. Grant is
thus penographed by one .who saw her at
the inauguration ball:
“j had never seen Mrs. Grant, except as
portrayed by a photographer, but I would
wot have recognized her ’ from any photo
graph I bad ever seen. My conceived idea
was, I found,A>y the mere glance which I
had in passing her, totally wrong. Iu the
first piace, she is not tall—not so tall as the
General, as I have seen stated; but, on the
contrary, short and inclined to embonpoint.
Her face is not ruuikd, and not an oval; her
features are not sharp and prominent, as I
have been- led to believe. She hats the
same timid, retiring expression, if l can
use what is manifestly improper, but very
expressive of- my meaning. Mrs* Grant
was drdssed in white satin, with double
overskirt, edged with pointed lace; her hair
pkefnly and neatly dressed, with a pink
rose or two.”
Why Folks read Locals. —We get from
an exchange the reasons given by an old
“local” who ought'to konw all about things
pertaining to this department, who says
“the people read items of local interest for
reasons as opposite as man and wife, A
reads about a fight because he was there and
saw it; B because be was’t there, and didn’t;
C because he had heard about it; D because
he had’t, but wanted to; while those who
had a hand in it wanted to know how ne»r
the truth the editor had got” We migl t
give a stronger reason than all these, the
desire to see their name in print apd to
know what the papers would say about
us if we did happen to be mentioned. Os
course the ladies never read “locals.”
