-WATCHMAN ATHENS, BROWN TO RETIRE. Georgia's "Unde Joe” Feels Advancing Years. His PROMINENT MEN NAMED FOR THE SENATORSHIP. The Rumor Creates a Sensation at Atlanta— Many Who Believe WuM Ormly, of the Constitution, has a Ills Chanoe for the Prise. Atlanta, Dec. 13.—[Special.]—The news from Washington that Senator Joe Brown will shortly resign his seat on ac count of ill health, has created a sensa tion in this city. The local papers, however, scdu!o sly •void all discussion of the subject. The news appears to be well founded from a rumored private letter to a gentleman who is interested in the senator's lease of the Western and Atlantic railroad, and which has leaked out in some way. It ■talas that the public announcement of bis resignation may be looked for at the latter end of the month. The plea for this action is sickness and rapidly de clining health. A reporter asked several prominent what they thought of the rumor, of nine interviewed six were un men and charitable enough to ascribe the senator's resolution to resign, should it prove true, to other motives then advancing years and bad hsalth. One gentleman stated that Senator Brown bad certain interests o' a pecuniary nature dealing with rails and crossties, which were in danger in his prolonged absence. He furthermore stated that the present Georgia legisla ture was accused of being retrogressive and unpopular in its attitude toward certain unnamed parties and corpora tion bat that it would appear from the expressed sentiments of the Georgia press, that the legislature was not taking unwarranted action in tho matter, but was fully backed up by their conatilu eats. Your correspondent's informant fur ther stated that while the present fit of ‘'holiness" and "puritanism ’ main tained its hold upon tho legislative bod ies no interest a as safe and that certain leases of malefactors and divers other things of a mining nature were not to be overlooked by so long-headed a gentle man as the senator. Hence, the deter mination to quit tho unremunerative balls of congress with the consciousness that he had served his country wisely and well—and let other good Georgians have a chance. The topic now turns upon who thee®— or rather this coming man will be. Several members of the legislature were seen, and while deolining to lend the prestige of their names, expressed no hesitation in declaring that, in their opinion. John B. Gordon is the best man for the place. General Gordon, however, is filling the office of governor and has just entered on a new term in that capacity. That in the opinion of many, will be no obstruc tion in bis path should ha prefer the sen ate; bat the governor, it i* said, would be loth to sacrifice the good will of his constituents by aocepttng any other place until the expiration of nis present term, simply because of that place. Gov. Gordon's watchword is '‘Duty,” and ho would rather that fame should wait on that. Next .then, and a close next, comts the brilliant Uradv, whose thanksgiving speech at Augusta has opened the ayes of some men who watched his career since childhood. An editor who is in Atlanta said yesterdav that after read ing that speech carefully no man coaid accuse Grady of being an idealist. If the people believed he would stand by those sentiments he would be triumphant ly elected to the senate tbs moment a vacancy occurred. Besides this, Grady has re ented of his protectionist theory by declaring that he didn't oppose the famous platform of 18t*4 because of its unsoun Inesc. but because ha thought the minds of the people unripe for such re form. That. In the atxre gentleman’s estimation, disposes of the chief objec tion to Grady for the senate. Others prominently mentioned are A O. Bacon, who ran'against Gordon in 1856, Congressman Blount, Speaker Du- Bignon, Editor Estill and a naif dozen others. The columns of the Constitution are said to be ones for communications from tbs mysterious "Friend of Henry Grady V who played such a oonspiouous part in the late election of Senator Colquitt. t; UR NATIONAL VUUKBnil The V. 8. Association Recommends Ixa provomonU and a Special Fishery Department. New Yoht, Dec. 12.—[Special]—The second annual meeting of the United States Fisheries association nas just been held here. A bill was rscommended for presenta tion to congress entitling every Ameri can citizen between the ages of 16 and 50, who has been engaged in the fishing business for six months to enlist in the merchant marine service at $2 per month. Another bill was rscommended, pro viding for a bounty of $3 for every ton of fish caught by American vessels, half the money to go to the ownsr of the vessel and half to the craw. Resolutions were also adopted asking congress for such legislation as shall make onr navy re spect able in size and quality, and asking tnat marine civilians, properly qualified, shall con ti lute our Ughtehouse boards and inspectors, and be eligible for simi lar appointments. A United States fishing deportment, in charge of a secretary, was also recom mended. L. J. Baboon was re-elected president. “SEMI-CIVILIZATION” The Boston Herald prompted by the recent tragedy in Birmingham, comes to the front in a fire-breathing editorial, referring to the setci-civil- ized condition of the Southern peo ple. The able jonrnal in its attack upon the outrage mentioned, does not confine its criticism to the case in question, but includes the whole south in its rather bitter and dispar aging remarks. It says “the idea of quelling the mob was strictly south ern, and is no more than the idea of semi-civilization. It does not respect law. It defies law. It holds itself to be above law, and undertakes to avenge what it supposes to be wrong acts by a kind of wild justice, peculiar to itself.” Whence comes the voice that would dare rebuke the people of the South. Alas, it is no stranger to our ears, we have heard it before to-day. We had 1 oped that it was hushed forever, and that a nobler spirit would prompt a gentler speech. But alas, it has only slept, and from the silence which we hoped was the stillness of the tomb, it has risen again with all its bitterness and asperity of feeling Will the gulf of discord that yawns between New England and the South, never be filled? Will the scars of former hatred never he healed? God knows if it were left with the people of the South every feeling of hatred would ho buried, and every unhallowed memory wiped away. Never can peace and harmony unite the sections, while hitter New Eng land, burning with the prejudice of war, continues to provoke and chide us. What calls forth this fierce at tack upon the South, because . a mob arose in Birmingham—because jus tice interfered and lives were lost? Are the people of New Eugland strangers to the sight of blood, of in nocent babes destroyed, of a helpless mother murdered, that they feel no sympathy with the mob that seeks the life of the murderous demon, or have their eyes so often feasted on the sights of blood, and horror, that their callous hearts, respond with neither pity, or reveDge? Not so with the people of the South'. The blood of indocence crying from the ground, appeals to ready ears, and fires the soul to prump* and speedy action. Is it done in disregard, irf defiance of law as the journal claims? or is it obedience to the honest instinct of a nature, planted there by the hand of God, which nothing can destroy efface? Have riots never risen New England? Are her people so per fect in their own conceit, that they cannot tolerate the faults of others? Are they blind that they cannot per ceive the spots upon their own skirts? Are their nostrils deadened that they cannot smell the scent of fire on their own garments? “Let him who is without reproach among you cast the first stone.” As to whether the South is semi- civilized or not, whether she is the social equal of the proud and arrogant New England, we invite the judge ment of honesty and candor. View our industries, which in spite of the torch applied by northern hands, have arisen from the ashes, filling the land with the music of their melody View our railroads, our shops, our marts of trade, our churches and onr homes, and say if you can that the South is barbarous and un-civilized. In the sweet simplicity that sheds its radiance in onr homes, and com mends the prayers of our honest hearts to God, we claim none of the artificial methods which prompt their boasted pride and constitutes their matchless civilization. In this art we prefer to remain untortured, and are satisfied to live forever where the Herald’s mouth has put us. We drop the subject here,sorry for having touched it with our pen. The spirit of onr people rebuke the mean as sault. That is enough.

C., Dec. \.—The in dications are that the outrL mill as operated by Senator ChandlT will be worked with unusual vigor Yring the present session, in order toV rn ish a basis for the general unseating mem bers elect from the south to ^ next house of representatives. A ratl^ cur i- ous document was received an.I the senate to-day, pro.ented by tkq^ e w Hampahi e seaator. it came ft angetmrg.S. C.,and contained the of 100 alleged citizens, said to be licaiis, and purported that they ha refused the privilege of voting by di cratic election officers. These m are all written by one person, who said to have remained at the pollB record the name of every voter w' ballot was refused. In an accompi iug letter it was stated that had a lot more of these lists, whi< would be at the senator s dispo<al if thought they were needed. Whetb these lists are still being in the process1 manufacture or not was not stated, bi it would seem unnecessary, if more wei needed, to send to North Carolina them, as they could be manufactured here as quickly as anywhere else. The signatures do not purport to be autographs, and not even an affidavit accompanies them in support of the gen uineness of the list But, assuming that the names are genuine, apparently they are of thoee who failed to registeY, and were disfranchised, just as many voters in New York and other northern states were at the recent election. It is upon this kind ol stuff that Senator Chandler seriously yror.oaea to start an investiga tion that will tire the northern h art and furnish a pretext for kicking a dozen cr so democratic congressmen out of the next house of representatives Chandl r may be no worse than Quay, but he is certainly a good deal clumsier. THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. In the senate, a bill introduced by Mr. Gibbs to amend the constitution so as to fix the salary of members of the general assembly at $200 per annum, was ad versely reported by die committee. The report was agreed to and the b.li lost. The special order was the bill by Mr. Johnson, of the 24th, to increase tho •alary of the governor to $3; KX> per an num. There was no discussion over the bilt. The committee reported the bill favor ably, but the report was not agreed to by a vote of 12 to 20. ’Mr. Folkoe moved to amend the bill by making the salary $4,000 per annum in stead of $5,000. This was lost by a vote of 17 to 18. The vote on the bill was then token, and resulted, yeas 15, nays 18. The bill was therefore lost. A r. solution to instruct the represent atives of Georgia in congress to use their efforts to scoure the passa e of the Blair educational bill, was called up and pro voked discussion. Mr. Bartlett made the first attack on the resolution. He was unwilling to vote to turn over to the general govern ment the education of the children of Georgia. The rights reserved to the states are few enough without making this important surrender. Mr. Gibbs opposed the resolution. He affirmed that the Blair bill had a dual object. First, it proposed that the Fad era! government should take charge o* the education of the children of the state; the second and cardinal object is to reduce the surplus so as to maintain the high tariff. M'r AJassengale favored the resolution and urged its adoption. Mr. Strother onposed the resolution. He thought the Blair bill a Trojan horse which would turn this country into an empire. Mr. Boyd favored the adoption of the resolution. He was under instructions from his own county, given in a private election, to favor such a resolution. He did not think the objections urged bv senators against the Blair bill well found ed, and he hoped ths lesolution would be adopted. Georgia is illiterate, and a better system of education is needed. On motion of Mr. Massengale, the Blair bil. wae read for the information of the ornate. The further consideration of the reso lution w&j postponed to next Tuesday at 8 p. m., when it was made the special order. The house was in a dilemma to-day ov« t the appropriation bill After considera ble discussion the house received the re port of the committee of the whole. The Dill, as recommended, includes the ap? i ropriation of $18,000 to the technolog ical school for the year 1800; for the branch collage at Dajilonega, $3,000 per anuum: for those at Milledgeviile, Thom* juville and Cuthbert, $2,000 per annum; for the general common echo l fund $165,000 for the year 1880, and $360,000 for the year 18i0. Mr. Sue Ison wanted to make a start ling anno .ncement, but was interrupt ed. He got again started, declaring against certa : n monopolies, when he was shut off amidst a general uproar. Hon. J. S. M.

The land takes up heat rapidly in summer, and, in the north, becomes frozen and snow clad in winter. Land winds may, consequently, be intensely hot or in tensely cold; and hence lands have a tendency to produce extremes of cli mate. The waters of tho ocean remain unfrozen even far toward thep'ile, un less crowded with lands, their perpet ual movements tending to produce a uniformity of temperature over the globe; and, hence, winds from the oceans, or any large body of water, are moderating, and never very cold. They produce what is called an in sular climate. Absence of lands from high latitudes is equivalent to an absence of the source of extreme cold; and from tropical latitudes that of extreme heat: and the sinking of all lands would diminish greatly both extremes.
