Many advertisers have a practice, even when they have but a small advertise ment in a paper,of getting np a puffing article for an editorial, from ten lines up to a hundred or more, ami then modestly asks lug tho publishers to insert it as reading matter, free gratis for nothing. Now, at ihe tnodciate rates of twenty cents per line, which moat papers charge for insert teg'bvsiMM notices in reading matter type, the Iwe advertising that is thus coolly requested would come to considerably more than the advertisement which they ay for. It is true lh »t there may be some great pul I c enterprises which are worthy of a liiwralitv on the part of the publisher in the way of free notices, bd% as a gen eral thing, those who ask this freo puffing, hare no greater claims upon the public press than any other advertiser. A pub* lihlier* advertising columns arc his main source of income and no in * has any more right to ask for the gratuitous use of the same than he has to request the freedom of » clothing store, that he may help himself to what suits him. Another imposition on newspaper publishers is practiced by mag azines, which expect, for an exchange, a notice every month, at least equal in value to their magizinc for a whole year. Not Jong ago, just after wo had given a lead ing monthly a notice which ut our regular rales amounted to just about a year's sub scriplion to the magazine, we received a polite circular fioni the publishers stating that their exchange list had become so large that they regretted being obliged to discontinue sending it to many papers, am] wo have not received it since. Is it m>t time that newspaper men determined no longer to submit to such imposition!-1 fixbkill X. Y. Journal. AMNESTY DEFEATED. The loss of the amnesty bill in tho Sen •te was reported yesterday by telegraph. The measure was not allowed to come up mi its merits, and met with a fair consid eration. It was clogged with odious •mcwlmi nts which compelled its real hit mis tu turn their back upon it. This result is to be regretted. It proves •hat whatever may be the will of tho peo t'li*, there are and, magogucs in Congress who hivcbti'h the will and the power to defeat Ii proves that this hitter class have no and 'Sirc for pacificati >n, that their little souls arc crammed with hate; that malice and »1 uncliai itableness, and the welfare of the country ha* no lodgement in their*' hearts* lVcll.be it so. It is the whole country lint is to snffjr from his vindictive spirit on the part of S-untor*. T.n South de« sirm amnesty only that she may be secured •ii good government at h_,roe. It would enlarge the field of choice in the se’ection | fur public trusts, and secure wisdom and fidelity in their administration. But few lof the prescribed men of the South aspire I to Federal honors at the present day. Sen sible men seldom wish to occupy positions in here both their influence and their wishes iwill go for naught. Wo can imagine no fciorc unhappy situation in which a true fv'Ulhem man can oow be placed, than a keat in either branch of tbo Federal Legist l»tprc, where he is regarded by the major ity who control the government as a po ■ t ea, outcast, a criminal. It cannot be Vcinnt for a man of spirit and patriotism ■o listen to the vile slanders and anathe* 1 M B P° n bi * own people.

VOL- VI. THE WAR CLOUD—POSITION- OF THE ADMINISTRATION. A Washington letter of the 7th instant, to Baltimore Gazette, says : The position taken by gentlemen closely connected with the administration of the Government is: Tnat the British High Corn* tnissioners perfectly understood the views of the .America, High Commissioner^,Jii the negotiation of the Treaty of Washington both from its terms and the assertions in the protocol, and that therefore our Govern*" ment is altogrthei justified in presenting the case as it has—claiming consequents! damages. In case the Board of Arbitra tors shall not award a gross sum, In satis faction of the socalled . Alabama Claims this Government is willing to stand by the decision of the Arbitrators. It is known that though the British Commissioner had full power, they frequently conrultedt their Horae Government, and acted in accordance with its wishes in all they did* It is officially asserted that if the claim for consequential damages had not been presented, and was not to be passed upon, there might be a complaint by the people of the United States that provision wa made for a partial settlement only of the difference be' won the two countries. Such claim wa«, therefore, presented for a full settlement in the interests of peace and to preclude future disputes. This Govern ment has not yet received the text of the letter from Lord Granville to General Scbuck, and therefore cannot take official action upon it. There is no probability whatever that our Governments will withdraw any part of its statement of the case, but will leave the British Government to pursue its own course, or the tribunal arbitrators to act iu the premises according to the treaty stipulations. Nor is it likely that our coun sel will take any action in ordui to accom odate the British Government. The correspondent of the Sun, in his dis patch of the Btb, says the excitement that continues in Loudon over tho ./Lnerican case submitted to the Geneva conference is not responded to, at least in Washing ton, where all extraordinary interest in the matter seems to have ceased ftom the act that the whole issue is looked upon as a question of the construction of the treaty, and therefore a matter for the arbi trators to decide. It is stated by the members of the Cabis net that ihe claim for consequental damas ges was placed in the cage for one reason for no other, in order to make it complete and not leave it open to the charge that it was only a partial presentation of the American claims. It is understood that Minister Schenck has been informed of this view. The text of Earl Granville’s dispatch is expected by mail. The tenor it is neither a demand for a withdrawal of the case uor suggestion for a modification of it but merely a statement. It is believed that the British Government did not understand that the censequeutal claims were to be submitted. Railroads. —We find the following Rail road information in the Eliniia Gazette: There are 62,646 miles of railroad in the United States. Minnesota now has 1.550£ miles of rail* road, 4611 built in 1871. The net earnings of the Central Pacific Railroad for 1871 was $5,229,914,04. The Susquehanna canal has been leased' by the Reading Railroad for 999 years* St. Louis received 880,346 tons of freight, aud shipped 773,179, by the river lu ldll. The fast railway trains in England run at the averago rate of from 40 to 45 miles an hour. The new iron drawbridge across the Mis sissippi, at Winonn, was satisfactorily tes ted with 150 tons in weight on January 17. The iucrease of travel over Massachu setts railroads last year over the vear pre vious was 11| per cent. Increase of gross earnings, 9 pet cent. The Erie Railway cost including equip ment, $106,904,362. Its gross earnings for the year euding Sept. 30, 1871, was $17,163,005,16; net earnings, $4,721,649,29. England has 45,537 miles of railway representing a capital of $2,564,000,000. The gross receipts per year are estimated at $14,000 per mile, and expeuses of opera ting $6,800 per mile. It was estimated that the average earn ings of the 53,399 miles of railroad in the | United Stales for 1870 was $9,000 per | mile. No estimate that can be considered i accurate has been made for the year 1871. BAINBBIDGE GA., £EBUBARI 17tb 1872 Smugglings —We learn from good author* ity, says tbe|Key West Dispatch, of the JOth ulf., that the steamer Liberty, which arrived at tnis port on Tuesday afternoon last, had on board some six packages of segars that did not appear npon her man ifest, but which, it is said, were shipped under consular certificate and seal at Ha vana. One of these packages was ad dressed to His Excellency U. S. Grant, an other to Mr* Robeson, Secretary of the Na vy, another to Mr. Fish, Secretary of St ate and ‘.heathers to different members of Gen eral Grant’s Cabinet—in all abmt 6,000 segars. Had these Rpgars been addressed to any other six citizens of the United States, the Custom House officers at this place would have ponneed upon them, and probably mulcted tbe captain of the steam er to a heavy fine, or have sought the cou* fiscation of the vessel. We regret to say that the exalted official positions of the recipients of these sugars so overshadowed the laws of the land that they were suffered to go on’their way to Baltimore. We trust that the custom officers at this port will exhibit a little backbone in the matter, and compel Mr. U. S. Grant and his confreres to duly enter tho segars and pay the statutory duties thereon. VY e are at a loss to discover any more privilege in .General Grant to smoke smuggled segars'lhau there is in Geueral Tom Thumb. A farmer near Cedar'rapids,’lowa, pur chased a few months Ago,Til the northwes tern partjof the State,|a herd of niue elk and two deer, and proposes to press into farm service the male portion of the former by training them to submit to the yoke. They are somewhat defi int k ’at times, and at other times allow their hides to be scratch ed and themselves to be bandied, as good docile cattle ought to, without resistance. They are turned into the fields with the rest of the stock, and enjoy all the privile ges of the farm, which they do not abuse, us many animals more domesticated some,, times do. Their'owner has -been offered $1,400 for the herd but declines to sell. A man in Danbury discovered that pow der fried in lard was good for boils* He tried it. The stove-cover is in the second story now, though most of tLeTest of the stove has been collected. He was deceived in his lard, lie says. The Prize Money of the Late War. —The total amount of prize money deposited in the United State Treasury, as arising out of the war of rebellion up to the Ist instant is $13,066,287 13 Tlrs is only half the net proceeds after sale, the other half being divided among the offic rs and crews of the vessels participating in the captures of prizes, one-twentieth going to the Captains of the vessels. A Drmqhtpul Rumor. —No rumor for years has afforded us so much pleasure as that which indi cates the appointment of the lion. Herschel V Johnson to the Supreme Bench of this Stat® Such a man added to the incorruptible Chief Jus tice would indeed assure us that there is a tribu nal wherejthe rights of citizens will be secure in the last resort. When heassends that Bench the song of deliverence from the night of Radicalism and oppression may be appropriately raised. He is the right man for the position, for in him w have the genius of a statesman combined w ih the capacity of a great and incoruptible jurist. A long life of general usefulness to his native State"presents him as a fit subject for the prid e of Georgians, and as one in whom there is no guile. Let us have him. The appointment would im mortalize the Governor who might make it Newnan Defender, Club Women.— A new club in New Yerfc city—the standard, founded four years and a half ago by a company of Gennans-r --admits laidies to its privileges, and so makes anew departure. The members see no good reason why women should be ex* eluded from sosial enjoyment and harmless recreation. Therefore we read of a ladio’s parlor in the new club house, frescoed in light blue, and furnished sumptuously in blue satiu, with luxurious hangings and ornaments* It is not surprising to hear that the club-women, have been invi ted to join the club, men of their households regard the iositution of the with more favor than formely. It is to be presumed that clubs become refined, like every other circle in society by presence of the gentle sex.— Macon Telegraph.
