What it Costa Uncle Sam to Keep House. The appropriations voted by the Second Session of the XXXIXth < on grcss to pay for the current expenses 1 of the Government during the coa i*»f? i year and to supply the deficiet.ees ot the last fiscal period, amount to the pret | tr little suni of $144,793.03 <6l. ihe i Army takes $23,881,654; the Navy, j $16,704,244; Mr Seward receives two allowances of $30,000 for his At' ; lantic Cable bills ; and the Postmaster General gets $20,000 worth of twine The military Academy at West Point ! is very liberally provided for, at an expense of 5268,913, of which that eminently useless body, the Board of Visitors consumes $5,000, and another 5,000 is applied to an enlargement of : the cadets’ laundry, which we should think ought to be big enough now to , keep that dapper little company of soldiers as clean as a row of new pins 4 The printing of our Government money costs $20,000 ; the management j of loans and notes cannot be effected for less than $2,000,000 ; and for the detection of counterfeiters we have a bill of $150,000. Our expensive old friend Pub. Doc. dances in to the tune of 52,f69,108, which surely ought to make Congress ashamed of itself Next to the salary of Mr. Andrew Johnson, the charge under which it strikes us that we get the poorest equivalent for our money is that of $314,695 for the Department of Agri culture. The purchase and distribu tion of seeds which nobody wants costs SBO,OOO, and the Botanical Garden, where Mr. Commissioner Newton rai ses hot house flowers for members of Congress, is supported at an «.utiay of $10,675. Ten thousand ddlors for bouquets! But alter all that is not worse than the ‘‘legislative” appropria tion of $10,230 for horses and car riages—a little bit of luxury in which we mistakenly supposed the Common •Council of New York wen unrivahd. .The most bewildering thing of all is the list qf appropriations for keeping our public offices warm. Here, for example, we have $9,000 for heating tihe Supreme Court room ; $3,000 for heatin;: the Cadet’s mess-room at West Point; $40,000 worth of heating ap paratus for the public buildings ; sl,- •000 worth of ditto for th'c library of Congress; $3,000 worth of fuel for the White House; $5,000 worth of fuel and lights for Congress:Jssooo fur heating the Capitol; $2,000 for fuel again at the White House at.d Capital, j How in the world is it possible in a j single winter to consume such emr- | mous quantities of coal, is a problem j quite beyond our comprehension. — There is an item of $55,000 for light ing the Capitol and White House, be- J side which the illumination of the Ko- j tunda by electricity iuvolJes an annual j expense of $3,000, and the Govern- j ment has to pay au electrician $1,200 j a year to attend it. The standing and familiar outrage of all, which comes next to Pub. Doe. Congressional*^floCeOii * flns*' costfy luxury the Senate expends no less than $8,157, and the House $120,892 —a grand total of $206,040. But this swindle is to he stopped, Congress ! having already given notice of its in. j tention to break off the contract with the proprietors of that concern as soon I as the two years’ warning which they are required to allow have expired. — N. Y. Tribune. Decline in Stocks. —The losses on stocks in tho New Y’ork market have been enormous since the first of De cember. Tbe losses on nineteen stocks (lurin'* the past two months that is, since January Ist—amount to nearly twenty-five millions, Duri.2" that time Pacific Mail has declined $4,600,000; Erie railroad, $2,600,- 000; Cumberland coal, $2,500,000; New York Central railroad $2,500,, 000; Northwestern, $3,5 0,000; Western Union Telegraph, $1,250,' 000 ; Delaware and Hudson coal, sl,i 000,000; Union Navigation, 51,000,< 000; Michigan Southern, $910,000; Atlantic mail, $860,000; Fort M ayne, $847,000; Quicksilver Mining Com* pany, $700,090; and aix other stocks from a quarter to half a million each, making an aggregate of $24,812,000 on nineteen stocks. A Scene in the House of Represent tatives — Butler Blushes! —A Wash, ington lettei in the Baltimore Gazette says that when the Clerk of thq 11--use ot Representatives, in reading Thad. Stevens’ confiscation speech, came to the following lines, “ lie commanded tho men and the women tq borrow from their confiding neighbors jewels of silver and jewels of gold,” and that they did so, “and spoiled the Egtp> tions and went foith full handed,” ev ery eye was turned upon Butler, whose ordinarily chalky face assumed by turns all the colors of the rainbow.— The profanity of Stevens cannot, of course, be justified on any ground; but if, as is supposed, the allusion was intended merely as a sly flight at the hero of Bethel and New Orleans (his rival for tho next presidency), it must certainly be regarded as ltfss atro ciously malignant. Negro Suffrage North. —Last, year tbe people of Connecticut voted down the proposition of negro suffrage in that State. But the Representatives of Connecticut in Congress did n-1 hes tnie to vote for negro sufirug2 at «ho South. The Mobile Re gistcr thinks the negro voters here had bet ted make a note of this, and remember that while the Radicals think them rood enough to vote with the Southern white men, they do not begin to be nood enough to vote with Radical whites. The lesson this teaches, and the remedy for the hypocrisy which it points out, is lor the Southern whit s and blacks to vote together against the Radical*, Enterprise (SEMI WEEKLY. ) L. C.

We have been informed that the detention of the Savannah Train yes terday, was occasioned by the “break ing down’’ of the engine near Number Twelve. NEW STORES FOR RENT. The two large two story brick stores recently built by Dr. 11. J. Bruce, on the corner ot Broad and Jefferson streets* are now entirely completed for business. They have been finished off in gO"d style, at heavy expense, and wcil located, as they are, for the mercantile bust css, now present the best bargains for Tenters that can be had in Thomasville. TEXAS ALMANACS. Our book and stationery friend, up ■ town, J. U S. Davis, announces that he has received a lot of Texas Alma nacs for stile. His energy and enter prise is worthy of emulation, and as he ! ordered them especially for the benefit | and accommodation, of those who ex press and a wish for them, we hope they will now go and purchase without delay. MALICIOUS. Passing along the Railroad yester day, about one o’clock, we discovered several stout pine poles laid across the track, near the Culvert in the Young College Grounds, a*-d evidently ar ranged to throw the train from the track. They were placed several sees apart and propped cr “seoiclied,’’ to prevent rolling when struck by the cars. As the locality is ou a heavy grade, the train, in going out would have been unable to halt, even had the obstructions been observed. A sharp lookout should be kept for the abandoned wretch who would thus doom the innocent to unseen dcstruc< tion. Tho Savannah train, being be. hind time, passed over the spot about two hours before we discovered the obstruction. VALUABLE SOUTHERN BOOKS. We take pleasure in introducing to our cititens Mr. B. Z. Dutton, a na tive, of South Carolina, and agent for the sale of valuable and very popular Southern works. Mr. Dutton, come* to us highly recommended by disiin. ouished Southern gentlemen, not oily ta a i„ an man of real worth, and deserving of our confidence. H'e trust he will be kindly received arid liberally patron. iied. The works he offers for sale*are no hniubog, nor trashy literature, but are made up off ur own home interests and abounding in the wealth of the best Southern talent. The very names of some of these works, send a thrill of admiration and reverence to our hearts whenever we meet with them , and they should be found in the library of every intelligent Southern gentlemen. Among them we find Lkk !c His Oknhrai.s—Morgan 5c Ills Men Women of tiif. Soutu—Poluuios History of the War and War Poems of the South, by Win. Gill* more Sims, one of the oldest living and most popular literary writers ot the South. We have examined each of these works and have no hesitation in recommending them to « discrimin ating publio. All Books, like ni>' men, have their faults, and wo would just as soon think of rejecting all men be cause none were faultless, ns we would think of rejecting either of these Books, b’cause they discovered some faubs. They, howover, contain as few faults as tlie generality of Southern Books, hut treat upon subjects very near to every true Southerners hoait, and are splendedly printed mid bound. This ought to be a sufficient reoom, tncndation and wo here leave them in the hands of purchaser*, of whom we hope, there will be many. EDITORIAL VISIT. M e had the pleasure of seeing in our sanctum ou tho day of out last, issue, Mr. George l’adrick, editor of tho Baiubridgo Southern Georgian. He was on his return home from a pleasure trip to the Forest City, whith er he delights to go, on account of tho “ big times ” he lias there, and the big advertisements his visits so often contribute to the columns of tho Geor gian. From his own account wo infer that he enjoyed his recent trip in a high degree, and we thought there was some lingering regret at the necessity of return. He represents the Geor gian as in a flourishing condition, and wo hope he may be even more success ful in the future than he has been in the past. SOUTH GEORGIA TIMES. The above is the title of anew pa. per just issued at Valdosta, l.oundes County, Ga., by Muj P. C. l’cnd eton, who, in former years edited the Ban dersville Georgian, The number of the Times before us is cleverly gotten up, shows good typographical execu tion and promises well for the future. The editor is an elderly gentleman of ability and experience iu tl e printing business, and a good writer with sound ptactic.il vie.v*. Wc know him to be a modest man also, which is a rare tiling in the editorial fraternity, (“prr■ sent company always excepted/’) and he may sometimes be 100 much so f* r his j rofit, but he deserves the warm est support of the people of that sec tion, and we cordially recommend him in this. [TOR THE r.NTKRPHMR.] POOR SCHOOL FUND. 1 am glad to stale that I met with much encouragement in regard to raising a Boor School Fund. I called upon on!.' a few individuals, who readily subscribed the amount of s's ; which enables me to commence, but will not sustain a school tor any length of time. I thcrclore trust, that the citizens of Thomasville will app'eci* ate and aid the effort made.

(For the Semi Weekly Southern Euterprsee ] Rev. Mih Chapter. The B.ble may be truly sai! to be a history of the world, ami however much science may object to its chro nology, and would bind its outspoken facts and declared time, revealed by Him who was present forming the earth to her narrow and benighted conclusions, it nevertheless is a his tory of the world, from its formation unto the terminus of its existence.— j The prophet iq symbolic language tells the successive order ot kingdoms un | der the imagery of a man with head j of gold, arms and breast silver, belly land thighs of brass, fe<.t and. toes j clay and iron, and in successive vi sions, with figures changed, it conies to the ptriod in which the Ancient ot ! days sets up his kingdom. Fora full I description of these several propheti- I cal periods, we refer-you to Mr. Bald win’s work United States in prophecy, i This kingdom of the ancient of days was a Republic, a Jewish Republic, | overthrown by that people becoming | demoralized by contact with the nn | tions round about them. The sotting | up of this kingdom is ma'k d*to bo in 1 three and a 'naif times—l 299 and ; 1335 days, which Mr. Baldwin, in book named, makes to end on 4th of July, 1776 —stating that those periods have | t liroc endings, the second the 27th of April, 1865. on which day General ! Johnson surrendered, the third end int* on the same day, 27th of April, 1878. What this last is we cannot conjecture.

These arc the two olive tree* and the two enndlestieks standing boforc the God iof the earth.’’ By turn ng to your Hibl.s you can read the remainder. These two witnesses who are they or wliat are they ? The 1260 days clear i ly show them to be tho United States, if Mr. Baldwin is correct in his first calculation^; which Mr. B. entirely overlooked in Loco. Why are they called two witnesses ? This is ac counted for by Mr. Baldwin in the twofold character of the government, Spiritual and Social or Ecclesiastical and Civil.

Tho birthright Belong ed to Shem, but God as in tiie case of F.suu and Jacob, lias supplanted Shem by Japhoth, and these two witnesses are farther described as prophesying, clothed iu sackcloth, us ancient pro phots were dressed, showing it clearly to refer to Jew*—also to de-troy by lire if any man will hurt them, a* did Elijah. Elijah a'so prayed and it rained not. Moses turned water into blood and smoto the earth with plagues. For fuller account see Bible history of the setting up ol' this Jewish or She metie Republic, now set up as ancient of days or Japhetic Republic, and when they shall have finished their testimony, or more literal, when they shall be about tiohjliing their testi mony—testini -ny to what? To the power of self-government, or superb ority ot Republican form of govern, ment, *‘ The jteaat that ascendoth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them and overcome them ” By referring to Revelation 9c., I, 2, 11 verses, you will loam wliat place is ' meant by bottomless pit —17 0., Bv., 20c , I—3 verses. It clearly is shown to bo tho centre of all evil. The name of tho prince in Hebrew is Ainal don, in Greek Apollyon, or destroyer, file heart is his scut, and in which he rules among men.

Their dead bodh-s shall lie in the street ol ihe groat city, which, spiritually, is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord w>* cr icibcd. Sodom is a name denoting great oorruptioi.- Kgypt a name denoting great oppres sions [as is given in the Bib e ] Dead means deprived of all otfiresand funci tions—politically subdued, suppressed, degraded, being denied the right of burial, dcnct s, the gr- atest depths of political degradation. In the 1 Otn verse is described the joy manifested j by the sending of gilts one to a -other. | Doubtless Crowned heads fulfilled to I the very letter'thia prediction in the | overthrow of our government. The reason f.<r rejoicing is, because these I two prophet* fermented them that dwelt on the earth.

Their tejoicing is only temporary —the old ship though creamed, will right herself again; her j timbers are sound. The bodies dead will live after of days ; life from God I entered into them, and they stood upon ; their feet, and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a voiee from heaven saying qn'o ; them, Come up Irther, and they as i cended up to heaven in a clopd, and their enemies beliel 1 them Heaven being a symbolic word, means exalta tion. Cloud is an indication of spe. cial presence ot Jehovah, as in pillar of cloud by day, an 1 when Christ as. cended a cloud received him They are c-x.Jted and protected by God, as eljuls are his chariots and represent 1 his presence. This gieat voice flora - heaven saying unto them, Come up j hither, after they come to life, I o n -1 not fully determine. I am inclit/ted, ; however, to the belief, as we have i found the two witnesses to it eao the ’ Jewish and J- phetie Republics, that the Jewish Republic will also be os tabliahcd at the expiration »f thee | 3} days, and that the Kotkchil Is, w ho own Palestine, shall invite all the wan dering one* home again. It may also mean God will make the principles of repuV.lieaoisui m >re fully understood, . and thua exal'cd, rey.ublicai.iam luuy , - u t ie renet ot 1 other oppressed tuitions,*and be exalt ed in all the earth.

The people of the South have had their attention for some time pa t sO painfully directed to the dying throw. ul' an old Constitutional Republic erec ted by our lorefathers, that tley have scarcely noticed* Die birth of anew kingdom upon the continent of North America • The passage hy_the House of Com mons of the hill trir the conlederatiou of the British Provinces on this con tinent, creates a now and powerful kingdom out of a number of and stiuct and feeble province*. The new king dom will in due season bc-Mino a great, power, and the dream of annexing Canada and other discontented British provinces to the United States is -tr over at an end. Indeed, the now king dom will begin business modestly, peacefully and prosperously, ‘-it the very moment that martial law will take tho place of civil and political liberty in ten States of the I te Union. The creation of this new kingdom, out of a number ol« distinct Provinces, was the work of' an hour. It is the consummation of three or four years’ labor ut the leading statesmen of Brit isli America. It has been secured without force, and like the original Confederation ol the States of this Union, by the consent of each Prov ince. Indeed, we believe that New Foundland and Prinoo Edward's Is. land have not yet seen tho wisdom ot casting their lut with the other l’rov. inees; lint the act leaves the door open for their admission into the new kingdom whenever they feel disposed te enter. The agitation wfuofi has resul ted in thtecousolidation of many die tinct provnccs into a kingdom was, for a long time vchcmertly opposed, the ‘‘.Maritime Province’ objecting to a Union, being especially opposed to it For more than a year the one sub# t of c ntroversv was “Confederation ” Both Upper and Lower Canada remained, as they had done throughout, steady to that purpose, and as the subject be came better understood, loc and fears Were appeased, narrow views were uri cued down, and, with the exceptions which we have named, all the Provin ces eventually acquiesced tn the pro posed union. The representative department of the new kingdom is limited to six Senators and seventy-two members.— The constitution of the kingdom, like that which once prevail'd in this coun try, at once enumerates and divides the powers which are given to the general government,, as well a- those which are reserved to the seperate Provinces. While, however, the sub jects of local authority are severally enumerated, it is expressly provided that "the Parliament of t.ho Kingdom” shall rule in all matters not 113s good exclusively to the local Legislatures.— Practically, the Central Parliament is t» be supreme, except as to strict I v local matters rescived to the constitiir ent Provinces. The people of the State of Maine arc very belligerent ah -ut the advent of this new kingdom, but the English papers treat their discourteous greet, ings with great contempt.— Richmond j Times. « • Wliat Should be Douo. If, within the next sixty days, the j people of the Soutn have not mctluid I iairly discussed their future prospects, j the negroes, under the lead of the vi : lest of whites, will have seized tho j reins of government, and driven us to | utter rain and eternal’ and sgrace.— I Times. If we are true to ourselves, to our traditions and to t’-e high character we won before tiie world in a long and 1 bloody war, and if w? nuke use of the smallest modicum of common sense ! and common prudence, the fate pro. j dieted by our neighbor will not over i take us either in sisty days or sixty | months. N'wr is this fate to be aver Itei by a convention. In the present unsettled arid s : art)ed condition of the public mind a convention might be elected that would hasten and precipi tate the evil which the Times dreads. To avoid it, tlxere is need of unity tn ; a firm and courageous policy. To in : sure it. we have on ly to bocotns frigh j ten and like a flock of sheep a*d give I over eur destines and the control of the colored populition to the handful lof adventurers and interlopers who 1 have come down f-toutb to trade in our - polrt'esl misfortunes an-i make money and <-9ms and s.-.f-aeeking out of our j fear*. The greatest peril that confronts us !it that of our own demoralization. It l* l * / * i ‘ nro vrr* >«*•»*, j and the late pictured by the Times will not overt ,k us, hut ought to over, take us. If we sit down in hopeless despair and helpless cowardice and al low a handTul of allied conspirators to , whip us into radical arganization u-nd | to take coin Miami of the Colored pen ' pie who have been horn and raised j among us and with u-, there is no ! depth of humiliation and hsavery too low for tur deservings But why should wedo.it? Granted that the negroes are to vote. How are they to outvote us if we are united and if Mur white loon do not luiseiy lake on their necks the collars of Radica'ism which ' base in erlop ng wretches are Indus triously preparing for them? If the South' rn people are to be divided, and a large part ol them go over to the enemy, and we have our Stevens, and Sumner, and M ade and Wendell Phillips ( mong us, leading a Radical party, why, of course, the game is up, and every honest and earnest man, proud of the good min e of his people, ,would only waste breath and feeling in attempting to resist the shameful degeneracy. But where is the necessity for this ? The Sherman bill, had as it is, docs not forbid us to be united and trae to ourselves, and it does not command us to surrend'r wliat little of lights ot government are relt us to the few t unkoo jioliticul adventurers who have come amongst us to take the trouble and the profit of managing our af tair.-i off our hands. Suppose that many are disfranchised, we still can put down th'- Radical plotters. Nay, i if we are disfranchised, if we arc prit | dent and just, we can beat th- so pl«r --j ut» even before an unmixid colored I constituency It.thero were none but I ncaro votes in the city and county ol Mobile, we would w.rger any Sui. that wiicoutd name a lun-lred Southern gentlemen of wdl known character in I the county, win could beat either one of the and ank e firm that is now dividing -mt tho offices fur itself, hi prospect, for any public office. It is a plain and obvious doty, and one t" which every good citizen sh.ul i address hiiuse'f, to advise with the colored man as to their interests and duties in tln-ir new, responsible, and to them perilous position. They have ; one Radioing interest in ooimiiun with i the whiles—it is he interest of peace and gnnd understandingbetween them. It is this that the plotters are laboring to disiu b. They are tr\ ini. to stir ap | bad blood between the black* and | their t-annrr masters, to make them i believe that they are naturally enc> I mics, and that the colored man can j only he assured of his rights and n*. w privileges by taking these plotters far their advisers and guides. The argu* ment against tho truth of this can be made irresistible to the dullest colored comprehension.* It is naufral that they should trust the people whom they have known all their Itv*s rather than strangers, who have come all the way from New England, notninsly to protect their interests, but in reality to make money out of them, and use them -is tools for their own advance ment. The black men are Southerners as well as the whites. Under the new law they are to enjoy political equali ty with them. Both races, t<%-are under the same military law, for when Congress put the whites under it, Con gress did not except the blacks What is there then to seperate them and drii e the blacks into ? Northern party ? If we have pe; ee, order, and sccu ity to life and property, the black n a i enjoys it a* well as the whites. If we have strife and bad blood and disorder, both races suffer by it, aod if it should come to a war ot races, no r thing is more certain than that when blond began to flow the instincts of the white race North and South would unite them on one side. These Yankee radical teachers and prrswher* are, therefore, the worst cn. cmies of the negroes They are sepa rating them from their longest and most trusted counsellors and advisers They are cultivating in them u spirit of distrust and discontent and hate, utterly tvithot t foundation, and eer tain to result in unhappiness and dan ger to them. If our city colored men were wise, instead of listening to the voices of these croakers of evil and dangerous guides, they would kick lietn out of their meetings as they de serve These views of obvious common sense must prevail on reflection. Just now the public mind is excited and flurried, and tto many, alas ? are frigh tened out of their rea-orj and judg ment. Lei us wait for a calm, keep cool, and do nothing rashly. If we can only keep the timid and the sel. fish among the wh tes from commit ting mischief, we shall have no dffi culty in making the blacks see where their interests lie.

Sherman is eccentric, and does npt possess the confidence of hi* brother officers. Sianton is a man of mighty power, but thoroughly listed all over the country. The others make up in violence and malignity what they lack in ability. A. M’es tern friend of mine imagines he sees the ‘-coming man” in General John A.

Logan has all the ‘‘points” fora first class Amerban Caesar, lie is politic when it suits the times; ho is violent when fury rules the the hour. He is a splendid soldier.
