On Monday Fredrick Froling buy sen, of Now Jersey, was con firmed Secretary of State, in place of Mr. Blaine. The Ouiteau trial still drags Tho prisoner insists that every thing connected with tiic proceed ings, so far as ho is concerned, is “high-toned,^ nnd that the high toned papers of the country would consider it n stain upon the Amer ican people to hang him. Frank Sharon, »’i young barber at Fall ltivcr, Mass., quarrelled with his wife, went home, found her asleep, kissed her three times, then put his pistol to iier neck and killed her instantly. He says “something crossed his mind and told him to do ft.” That Guitcau business is growing. It is'tlmo for hanging to put a stop to these mysterious and dangerous mental impressions. Gen. Phil. Cook, “our member” in an interview with a Washington Critic reporter, tho other day, said lie was opposed to Scorctary Fol- gcr’s idea of funding tho national debt. He said the peoplo wanted all the silver dug out of the cartli made into money. If there is no place to store it, pay off tho national debt with it.

GEORGIA SEWS. ltiddlcbcrgcr is now to be Ma- liono’s colleague in tiic United State Senate. Arthur tried the Stalwart system in defeating ltiddlcbcrgcr by a Stalwart order, but Mulionc refused to obey, and tho Stalwart President bad to yield to the Stnl wart Repiuliator. Mahone is tho Senate, and must have liis way, and the Republicans who give four fifths of the votes for the Repudia tion ticket must tie content to al low the Confederate Repud iatoi-H take tae oysters, leaving the shells for the Republicans. The I)emo. cratic Repudiators, who poll only a fraction of the votes which have won tho State, linvc one Senator aud will now take the other; they have the Governor lor four year with all the patronage of tho State, and they have all the State officers save the Lieutenant Governor, who is of no more political importance that a bump on u log. The Repu diators promised much to tho Re publicans during the contest, but they bow repudiate their promises, and, indeed, repudiate everything but Repudiation and Ucpudintors. According to the Nash.ille Jtan tier Hon. Patrick Walsh, editor of the Augusta Chronicle, is a candi date for Governor of Georgia. Georgia editors' are a versatile set. Editor Hale, of the Conyers Weekly, is now editing a dry-goods store, and editor Jim Anderson, of the Covington filar, is about to furuisb liis patrons with an opera house.

Richardson, of Mississippi, said to bo the largest cotton planter in the world. Ho extracts the oil from liis cotton seed, obtaining about two nnd a half gallons from the bushel of seed. The oil is worth about 33 cents per gallon, which would make the yield of the seed worth 82A cents per bushel, and the valuo of the cake would run it to at least. 90 cents. This is much hotter than selling the raw sued for fifteen cants per bushel. Sale of a Prominent Georgia Xenspa- per. On Friday last the Macon daily Telegraph and Messenger, one ol tho oldest papers in tiic State, was purchased by Messrs John Jones and J. F. Harrison. Andrew’ W. Reese, who was part owner of the paper and its Washington corres pondent, lias severed connection with it. Col Albert Lamar, who during the Forty-sixth Congress was tally clerk of the House, is the editor under the new management. The paper sold for $22,000. Col. Harrison, who owns a large inter est in the Telegraph and Messen ger, was a member of the recent tariff convention held in New York, nnd is known to be tn favor of a protective tariir, and it is stated that lie will control the policy of the paper. It is also stated that the paper would be hostile to tho railroad commission of Georgia. Tlio Telegraph is one of tho best edited and most enterprising news papers in the State—it ami tl.o Savannah Keics standing at the head of the dailies. Some Resolutions. At a regular conference of tha llcthusdu Baptist church, held November 2Gtb, 1881, the follow ing rosolutioiB were unanimously adopted by its members:— Whereas, There has been for some lime, and oven now exists, an unpleasant feeling between the members of above church and the Rev. J. C. Bryan, that should not exist among true Christiuns, and Whereas, The said Rev. J. C. Bryan claims that the said Bcibcs- da Baptist ^|iiircb owes him over one hundred and forty dollars ($140) for services rendered. And Wueueas, The said Rev. J. C. Bryan lias used this us evidence against the said church, which tcuds to impede the progress of tho church. And WinsiiEAs, There lias been per sons expelled from the said church according to tho laws of tho church, aud laws made during liis pastoral care of the church, ‘(a law that the said Rev. J. C. Bryan strictly en forced,) lias attempted to organize themselves into a church. And Wueueas, The said J. C. Bryan is giving his aid and iiillucncc in trying to build up thu said persons as a church, and lias fully proved himself complicated in it. And Whereas, The way in which lie eouducts himself when allowed to preach, and the way in which lie boasts abo-.it it, lias become offen sive to the ehiirub and causes a great deal of confusion afterward. And Whereas, Tho persons who have been expelled from tile church and gone oil’, wore the leaders ill mak ing this deht upon the church, and havo gone olf and loft thu aaid debt upon the said church, to pay which is not just or equitable. And Wiikreal, The church is not sat isfied to he in sueli confusion, therefore he it Jtesolued, By the members of Bclbesda Baptist Church in Con ference met, that on and after the adoption of these resolutions that we will not give onr consent for lliu said J. C. llryan to preach in our church or tike part in any worship in thu church any more as long ns such a slate of allhirs exists as do now; and that we will not give our consent to pay anything upon the said debt until the saiii J. 0. Bryan assures us that lie is not trying to lead people away from our church from whom wc must got the money—and especially those that have been expelled—and a re construction is brought about among us as Baptists at Aincricus, and that wo ate willing and ready for it at any time. And be it Farther ltesolced, That we ex press our deep regret that such a state of nlfiiirs should exist with a missionary whom wc assist in sup porting, it being our desire to have them bring us together, and not pull us asunder. Be it further ltesolced, That we furnish the Baptist Sun and the Americas Recorder, each with a copy of these resolutions, and re quest them to publish them for the church. Done by order of the church, in conference assembled. Beacon Richard Jones, D. 8. Harris, Moderator.

And now wc have it before us,in a good state of preservation, though it was found in an old unused collar and lias seen a rough time. It was engraved by Samuel Harrison, in 1818. Tracing tire lines on this map, we find the Ocmulgco river was the western boundary of civi lization, and the Lower Creek tribes roamed the forest and hunted the turkey and deer right where Harry Edwards now sloshes around in search of local items for the Telegraph and Messenger. A lit tle dot marks the spot occupied by Fort Hawkins on the eastern side, and a ferry is noted about where the foot bridge now is—it being on tlie road from Milledgcvilio to the Creek agency. The fair city of Macon still slept in the undreamed future. (By tie way, we have an old newspaper, published at Mt. Zion, Hancock county, which con tains an advertisement of the first sale of lots in tho present city of Macon.) Franklin was the extreme northern county—beyond it tho unexplored mountain regions. Tho population of the counties is given according to the census of 1810. There were tlurly-nino counties. Wilkes was the most populous county, numbering 14,887. Chat ham comes next, with 13,540; Bald- 0,35(1; Richmond, 0,350; Hancock, 13,330. .At tho beginning of thl present year Lifi***? corr's Magazine titered on a new »cnej», at a reduced price, with tho cPs'inctlve purposcof pje- •cntlng each a variety of reading matter—for tho moa*. part light and entertaining, yet ofreaJJit r- nry meiit—as should.coinmend it to the giudra maw of cultivated pereons and earn* it a wel in many American home*#.
