It will be observed that the publication

A Base Trick
sonviUe (Kla) U ion, in arranging the s tates
tdb'ter Democratic govcrnments, h.s this
.mission to Estimate 'he losses of all the
people of Georgi* by 'he ‘mancipation of
their si «v «, and to demand of Congress
compensation theres r.”
Now, i is a noto ius fact—no doubt well
k- own to the writer of the above, ! h t the
m tion referred to was made by a Radical
* enator - that it was reported against by a
1) mocratic Committee, ad the Democrats
of the i- enate voted un nimously to sus
tain the r port—and that the only votes
for the mbvement were east by five Radic
als, including 'he negro members ?
Will tlie ed tor of the Union be hon est
enough to g ve th se sets to his readers ?
We shall see.—Sav Republican.
The es lu ion here re'erred to emimted
from Maj. B. F. Bruton, Senator from this
(the Bth) District, ad, as th • hilarious dis
position of the gentleman is so w< 11 known,
it can easily be determined in what light
the-document was intended.
That weeping mothers son, Harris, of
the* Savannah News, has offered a glass
if Mike’s Old Artillery Punch to the grand
Duke A h xis, while he himself proposes to
take whiskey straight. How impudently
polite that child is getting to be. Methinks
I see his royal,. crooked-tongued highness
engulphing the punchy contents of a glass
ware vessel, in measurement a solid pint,
with Pinky just back of that singing, with
that enterprising young voice of h s, ‘'who
will care for expenses now,” and taking
notes on the situation.
Fatal O ld—Frost and snow arc play-*
fuff sail havock with human lifeout west.
In Kansas five buff.ilo hunters and large
numbers ofeattle were froz ?n to death during
the recent storm. In the canons of Little
Cottonwood, Utah, the loss of life by the
snow slides was greater than at first re
ported. Quite a number of persons are
believed to be lost. In Montana Territory
two companies of the Seventh Infantry
were caught in the’ storm and compelled
to camp out. Many of ttie men were se
verely frost-bitten.
FROM ATLANTA.
Hon J. M. Smith, of Muscogee, the
present speaker of the House, has been
nominated for Governor. Several other
candidates were brought forward, the
choice of Mr Smith, however, was by a
large majority. Now let the Democracy roll
him up a handsome majority.
A Washington letter to the Baltimore
Sun says: “Those Republican Senators and
me.nbera who have arrived here, and who
have expressed any opinion, do not expect,
that much important business will be done
this sesisn b-yond passing a bill reducing
taxation and the genet a! appropriation bills
The supporters of the Administration ex
< press their confidence in the nomination
and relection of Grant, and declare that
most of the President-making f>r the ses
s on will be confined to the Democratic side
The anti Grant Republicans do not appear
to develop much strcngch in tfie HouseJ
indeed, it is said there are net half a dozen
who can be counted on, while Messers*
Sumner, Schurz and Tipton are the only
Senators postively known in the Senate to
be against Grant's re-nomination. The
Democratic Senators are very generally op
posed to joining hands with the anti-Grant
men until the latter show some postive
organization that would warrant a coali
tion on the genera issues before the people
It is ev-dc-ni Dial tiie<e : s to be prec' ? tate
action on the part of the Democracy in Cons
giess on the Presidential question, and it is
doubtful if anything positive results from
the caucus to be held early in the session.
The feeling at least now appears to be that
the lesser should come to the greater.
Oraxgks.—Notwithstanding the crop of
oranges will not be as laige this season - as
that of last, in this city and vicinity the
fntit will be large and better quality. The
orange trees are looking better and more
promising lhau they have since the year
1835. Our citizens are giving more of
their attention to this fruit, and we feel
sure that their efforts will be crowned j

”We are sorry to see th tt thebillrepealing

of larbarbm is to us a wonderful and in
comprehensible .fact. Oil every photoso
phical principle, in th first place, money
like evey other merchandize should be
left to adjust is own price under the laws
of supply and -lem »nd, and there is t o more
reason for fixing its value by law • ban for
attempting to establish the value of corn,
cot on and bagg ng ;n the same way. Sec
ondly, th • attempt to regulate it in that
w- y >s a total failure* I he law says . seven
per cent, but even eve y law giver violates
it, and the rates of interest in commercial
transactions in Georgia vary every day
from eight to thirty per cent, and are so
quote 'in all the papers It will be safe to
say that the law is invariably and totally
disregarded. Pray tell us then, where the
ruse of it? and what other effect has the law
than merely to embarrass transactions in
money—bring State authoricy into con
tempt—obstruct the influx of external
capital into Georgia, and. so add to the
price by diminishing competition? We
trust the Georgia Legisla ure will get out
of that rut, after a while.”
