Relow we ffive an editorial from our aide ennteinporsiry, the Atlanta Constitution, which clearly sets forth the work of the Legislature just closed. Allusion is also made to some important measures that will engage that body when it reconvenes next July. Our contemporary knows whereof it speaks, and hence differs very widely from a great many of the random editorials that have appeared in some of the news paper journals since the adjournment of the (ieneral Assembly. It is a very easy task to indulge in senseless carpings by those who know nothing of the care, study und cautious deliberation that should he brought to bear in legislating so ns to sub serve and promote the public interests of a great State like (ienrgin. A little expe rience in such matters would doubtless change the tone of a great many, whose greatest fort seems to he that of fault-find ing. •• In reviewing the whole session of thir tv-seven working days we sec that while the Legislature left over until' July many important matters, yet it performed a good ly lot of business. One of the most ini fmrtant hills passed was the Garrard bond iill. to provide for the issue of go!11.001 in four per cent. State bonds in denominations from $5 to slll. The hill will greatly in crease the volume of circulation in the State, and will reduce the interest on our State debt just §20,000 a vear. The home stead hill was also perfected most satis factorily. A bill to provide for the man ner in which cities may compromise their bonded debt was one of the most im portant acts of the session. The new Ju ry hill is very satisfactory. The tax act shows a considerable diminution of the burdens of the people. A bill changing the time of the superior courts of numer ous counties. was also one of the most im portant measures passed. A great many hills of importance were passed, but a full catalogue of them is not practicable in a brief summary. For tin* July session the Legislature has left a number of weighty matters which must then lie finally determined. The great question of regulating freight ami passenger rates of railroads under the new constitution will come up for a fnll and final discussion. The Moffett Ill'll Punch hill will he heartily pressed The ques tion of the -ale or lease of the Macon anti Brunswick railroad will also be determin ed. There will be a tight lo abolish the agricultural department, and probably a strong effort to revive the geological bti r an. The wi’d land office and all its ope rations will come up for a thorough review. Legislation on the line suggested hv the recent investigation is sure to be bad. as both reports of the committee recommend the passage of laws strictly forbidding the taking of fees by department officials. The dog law will also he discussed. The bill to reduce fees of tax collectors and receiv ers will likewise come up in July. These are merely some of the principal questions awaiting the action of the body in July. There will tie others of minor importance. 1 aside* a Hood of lorn' and special tolls. The Legislature lias done well under the circumstances. No preceding assembly 1 ns been surrounded hv such difficulties. These have been met most successfully by the Senate and House. In both bodies are ninny good mon—men of ability—who are true to the best inter ests of the State. We may look for an in teresting srssjon in Jnlv. and rnav he sure , that the welfare of the State will he in the keeping of wisdom, justice and moderation. GEOLOGICAL REHEAT. Tim recent Legislature declined to pass a hill continuing the tiooloirccal Murean fire years longer. For the Inst five years the sum of ten thousand dollars has been rinnually paid out of the public* treasury for the urpose of sustaining this unneces sary *• luxury.” and the General Assem bly. we think, very properly concluded that it was time for the matter to stop. A desperate effort was made to pass the hill introduced to continue the Bureau five years longer, hut the friends of reform stood solid against it. The appropriation clause to pay fifteen hundred dollars annu jillv to run a Board of Health, was also • iefeated. Onr section lias received no ben efit whatever from these institutions, hut our people have been taxed to support tuem. and we believe will shed no tears over their demise. Both the Senators from South Carolina are one-loggud men. Two legs are better than none. * ' AMENDE HONOR A RLE. In our issue of December 4th, in com menting upon the completion of tiie labors of the Investigating toinmittee upon the , indorsement of the N. E. Ronds hy the i'iovernor. under the caption " (iorernor ' I'olquitt Right Side ! p." wc mentioned that we had learned that Gov. Colquitt's motives were completely vindicated, tint used language reflecting very severely upon Mr. .1. W. Murphy, the Clerk of the Treasury. Those remarks were entirely predicated upon the current rumors in the newspapers, from which wo were led to in fer that Mr. Murphy had sought and ob tained a bribe to induce the tiovemor to indorse these bonds. Since then we have rend tlte ma jority report of the Committee, w hich comply tely exonerates Mr. Murphy iof any illegal conduct or corrupt practices in the matter. This being the ca*e. we feel it to l*e tine both to Mr. Murphy nnd ourselves to retract so much of the aforc >nid editorial as referred to him. as being altogether unmerited ami misnstamcd by the facts as have since been developed by the Investigating Committee. At the same time we must say that, in our opin ion. Mr. Murphy acted indiscreetly in the matter, occupying the position he did. and wc think the General Assembly should enact a law that will preterit the recur rence of such doubtful practices. Of course we could not have been actuated by malice or any sinister motive, as we were totally unacquainted with the gentleman. Relow we give so much of the majority report as relates to Mr. Murphy’s connection with the above matter : •• In investigating the motives and con duct of the Governor, the committee have found it necessary to examine into the con duct of Mr. John \V. Murphy, a clerk in the treasury department of the State, and it is the opinion of this committee that Mr. Murphy was not guilty of any illegal con duct or corrupt practices in tiie matter of the indorsement of the bonds of the North eastern railroad company.” BLARNEY. *• The election of a libera! and patriotic Southern citizen to the Presidency would, perhaps, do more to harmonize and strengthen the republic than anything else that could happen. The South would re gard such an event as a full recognition of its political eonality. and once relieved of the badge of inferiority, it would forego its sectional narrowness and become na tional. if it should so happen in the next presidential election that an eminent ami univi rsally respected Southern citizen should be run on one side, and General Grant, with his views ripened and liberal ized by time, experience, and study of for eign institutions, should be run on the other side, the very contest between two such candidates, no matter which might be elected, would soothe and moderate, and go far toward extinguishing the sectional passions which Mr. Blaine is endeavoring to stir up.' 1 The above section of an editorial from ti e N. Y. Herald is a fair sample of the bosh and blarney indulged in by the great metro-polo-tan journal of America. It sounds very nice to an unsophisticated Southerner, and is intended to Halter Southern readers; but the question that obtrudes itself upon our doubting mind while perusing this very unsectional '• view.” is whether the Herald in the event of a contest for the Presidency between a •* liberal nnd pa!riotie Southern citizen” and General Grunt, would not go might and main for the man *■ with his views ripened and liberalized by time, experience and study oj'f'oreii/n institutions Such papers as (lie S'. Y. Herald and Sun talk very well until the pinch comes, and then—but you will have to wait and see what they will do then. It is beyond mortal ken to foreshadow their positions that far off.

The printers on the Chronicle & Consti tutionalist are on a strike for higher wages. It wont do any good—blacksmiths are too plentiful. Carl Mitchell, the hoy who was on trial for the killing of voting l.awshc w ith a base ball bat in Atlanta, was tried and ac quitted on the lSilt. The Edgefield (S. C.)

The Constitution characterizes the idea of making Grant President in 18SJ as a ludicrous burlesque. The making of R. B. Haves President might then be termed low comedy.

Editor, Major L. C. Bryan of Thomas County. From the Chronicle & Constitutionalist wo barn that Mr. Carson, the gentleman appointed to make :i preliminary survey of the Savannah River, tins completed the job and is satisfied tbnt tbe river can be made navigable to Andcrsonville for a m less sum than any estimate previously made, and will make a very favorable report. He is not in favor of constructing canals or locks at any of tbe shoals, but thinks that the obstructions themselves can tic remov ed at a much less cost. We hope, now that the feasibility of the matter is settled, that Mr. Stephens will use bis utmost en deavors to push the measure through. It would he of untold benefit to the whole Savannah \ alley and of great importance to the whole country. Mayor Latrobe. of Baltimore, has just bought a doll.

New York, December 17.—Gold has just sold at par. the first time it has touch ed that figure since tlte suspension of specie payments in 1802. The sale at par caused considerable excitement in the gold room—brokers cheering enthusiastically. It is even said that the brokerage was paid for the sale of gold at 111. Felton of Georgia and Hewitt of New York have introduced hills to make the standard silver dollar interchangeable for gold. Felton's hill provides that a'l na tional hanks making any distinction be tween gold and silver coin shall be placed in liquidation and the business wound up by the secretary of the treasury. Anderson Intelligencer: We seldom hear of a sadder affliction than has recent ly befallen the family of Mr. J. T. Chap man. of Helton township.

Magee, in Paducah, Kentucky. ••Starting?” was the reply; •• I went more than half way up.” Magee had been hanged by a mot) and cut down just before life was extinct. The reporter obtained the following information as to how the hanging felt : There was no pain as long as he was ascending. When he settled hack, however, with a slight jerk, his suffering was excruciating. He tried to scream, but no sound issued from his throat. His arms were pinioned, and lie endeavored to raise his hands so as to gr sp the rope above his head that he might relieve that terrible shortening of his breath, which seemed, at each muscular attempt at res piration. as if the air would escape from liis lungs and force itself out through his breast and back. The muscles of the arm refused to do his will. His joints experi enced a sensation similar to that one would imagine tiie piercing of red-hot needles would produce.
