Gen. Pbil Cook, we learn, has
•aid that hi* public life will close
forever with hit present term in
Congress. Noble in every sphere
in which he has served his people,
the State can well say next March,
yon have been bithful to every
trnst confided to you.—Madisonian.
The following from the Ottown
(0.) Sentinel shows that other sec
tions are suffering from a scarcity
of money as well as ours, and from
the same causes: “Business men
account for the present stringency
in the money market from the fact
that the great liody of farmers are
holding their crops for a better
market.”

them as republican a doubt.
The report of the tariff com
mission has been somewhat ol a
surprise. The commission states
that, while it has given consider
ation to the interest to be affected
by revision, in determining the
rates to be recommended, it has
been governed by its own views of
justice and expediency, and by a
regard for the interests of con
sumers and for the public senti
ment of the country. From the
beginning of its work it believed
that a substantial reduction of the
tariff duties was demanded by the
conservative opinion ofthe country.
The white Methodists of Georgia
are about to set up a college at Au
gusta for the education of the col
ored youth, and the Augusta pa
pers congratulate the country that
so eminent and pure a man is to
take charge of it as Rev. Morgan
Callaway, D. D., of the Georgia
Conference. The gentiemsn is an
old member of the Conference,
served faithful as a Colonel in the
late war, has been President of La-
Grange Female College and for the
last ten years a member of the
tariff and reducing postage on
sealed letters to two cents, have
been introduced, or are in prepar
ation, and altogetbei it looks as
though this Congress that has
wasted its youth and lusty man
hood. will now devote its eleventh
hour remnant to work. Of course
every one knows the cause of this
galvanic activity us well as lie
knows that death bed repentence
j is not vicarious fora wicked waste-
I ful life, at least not in politics.
