As two such enterprises have already failed,it is doubt ful it the now paper meets any bettor fate thaii its predecessors. The Leoislatukk. —Tire Georgia. Legisl ature is booming ahead. Much business. — over one hundred _bills have already been introduced into the present session. It is thought that a recess wUI bo taken in a f<iw days until July. The Central Railroad Fare I ickets.— The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes fiom Washington: “The Central Rui road Oompauy of Georgia has been issuing a tioket covering a certain number of fares otrfefr the road, and which lias been used as a kind of currency by the company and by the community. This is in violation of the national banking law*, ami the comptroller of the currency has called attention. The grand, jury on the l 9 th insf., found a true bill of indictmentagainst Edward S Stokes for the murder of James Fisk, Jr., which was to be handed to the court to day. Stokes’equanimity in his luxurious cell in the Tombs, has givet» 4 rise to various rumors as to the probability that by a cun nviigly prepared defence ho may be acquit ted. Matrimony is—hot cakes, warm bods, c&mfortahle slipperu, smokingcoffee, round arms, red lip**, kind words, shirts exulting in buttons, redeemed stockings, bootjacks, hnpjnncßH, etc. Single blessedness is— sheet*iron qniits, blue noses, frosty rooms, ico in the pitcher unregenerated linen, heellosa socks,coffee sweetened with icicles, rhubarb, and any amount of misery. Funeral. —The New York papers oYTyesday are filled with details of the fuueral obsequies of Colonel Fisk, whose remains were removed from New York to 13rattleboro„ Vermont, his native place, for iiiiterment. Over a hundred thousand peo ple participated as witnesses or actors in the so.lemn pageant. The demonstrations of popular sorrow were remarkable. . A Significant Order from the War De farthest —It is reported, upon goodjru* thority, that tho Secretary of War Telegraphed on Saturday to General J»*fferson C. Davis, Superintendent of tire Recruiting Service, to continue Jt rccru > ' jt|hg, and to retain al! recruits in Nt w York, instead of sending them to Western umtlons, us has been the c'riston hitherto.

Who has not heard of the Valdosta Gim let? Perhaps some of our Readers hare, btR to those who hare not, we will say that it is a spicy little ten by twelve sheet, its issued''at Valdosta, and edited by the publisher end published by tfceheeditor - In last number, under the above caption, we find the following in regard to the editorial fraternityoi Bsinbridge: Bainbridge claims three. Bussell of the ■Good templars and- avaanah fair notorie ty, editor of the Democrat, is a short stump of a fellow abont five feet sir inches |g his boots, and weighs about 145 pounds, lias a devilish aly liable eye, and supports a puny looking moustache. We wouid’nt trust him farther than you could throw a —feather. Hayes of the Fun is a loag gacky look ing fellow, about six feet six inches under his beaver. A handsome beard, a sleepy eye and a poke-easy walk, idle the bill for him. We wouid’nt trust a bottle of tari gle-leg in his keeping. v ; Johbston*. the Sun local, is an orphan child. .He is a small chubby fellow. One “would judge from his looks that he dieted eiMgiderabiy on pot-liquor, “Bat” they c*ll him because he resembles somewhat a bull-bat, would say more but he is rather fighty-fled* In the language of Rip Vau Winkle, “give that editor a cold potato and let him go.“ lie’s sure to make his mark in the world, if its reaching the standard of an excellent dancer on—what 11 e boy shot at. CONLKY’b PARDONS- Conley has .signalized his laying down the seals of office, says the Chronicle and Sentinel, by acts of Executive clemency exercised toward great State criminals, winch will in all future times, make his name odious to the people of the f?tate. — Previous to this grand* iniquity there was a very large number of the good men of the, State who were loth to believe that he was personally corrupt and dishonest. 1 his class of our people thought that he had never shared in the spoils and robberies of Bullock and Blodgett, but this almost last' act as acting Governor, of extending full and free pardon to these great criminals, and other lesser thieves, will cause a change of opinion on this subject. Conley knows, or all of the people of the State know, that Bullock and Blodgett have dishonestly and corruptly used the money of the State- He knows that the people demanded a fair investigation of .their conduct for the four years, and this the in quiry and punishment of the law, makes Con'ey, in the eyes of lionc-st men, equally culpable as the great thieves who he seeks to relieve. We are greatly mistaken, however, if this attempt to shield the robbers from the punishment due to their crimes will be successful. The power to grant pardons for alleged offense before trial or conviction is one which the people have not delegated to the 1 xeeutive. It is an accident royality where the sovereign power i3 vested in an individnal, but ft can find no deposity in the Governor of the 'tate. ihe people here are sovereign not the Governor. It is true that the Supreme Court by a divided bench have ruled that the Governor of Georgia is clothed with this kingly power Yet this Court was composed of pariizans of the Kadical party and the friends of the late Governor, but now fugitive from jus tice- 1 his Court will soon be reorganized and good men placed on it—at least a ma jority will be men who are sound lawyers and honest patriots These will, we trust, reverse the late decision on this point, and hold that the Executive of the Mate has no right to grant pardons until after trial and conviction. THE APPROPRIATION BLL,* The House went into a committee of the whole on the appropriation ac*, and, after a session of two hours, and a prolonged discussion as to moderation in appropriation lunacy to pay salaries due teachers of com raon school for the last year, committee rose and reported to the House. The bill was then taken up by tho House, passed, and ordered to be transmitted to the Senate as perfect.
