The Lfgiklatnrc.
If we judge by tho number of now
bilL introduced, wo may expect a pro
tracted session. Tho Opera swindle,
wo fear, is upon tho pooplo, and we
think it second to none of tho out
rages committed by the party iu pow
er, save the efforts now being made
by the Radical members of the I.egis
ture, to hold over for an indefinite
time. Tho prolongation scheme will
bo voted on to-day, in the House, and
there is some prospect of defeating it.
EBunrt i-axv.
We are indebted to Hon. F. M.
Harper for a copy of bill passed both
Housos of the Legislature and ap
proved by tho Governor, changing the
road law as relates to Terrell County.
We hopod to oee other counties em
braced in the bill, but find that Ter
rell alone is allowed to make the change
See the Act below :
AN ACT
To alter and amend the Road laws
of this State, 60 far as they relate to
the County of Terrell.
Sec. Ist. Be it enacted by the Gen
eral Assembly of tho State of Georgia,
That all roads iu the County of ier
rell iu said State, which aro now* by
law* declared to be public roads, or
that may hereafter be declared public
roads, and which are now by existing
laws i equired to be cleared of all trees,
stumps, grubs and bushes, at least
thirty feet wide, shall, from and imme
diately after tho passage of this Act,
only be required by law, to be cleared
of all trees, stumps, grubs and bushes,
at least twenty feet wide.
Sec. 2d. Bo it further enacted, That
all laws and parts of laws militating
against this Act be, and tho same are
hereby repealed.
Our tniTOHUdings.
Who that has attended or heard
spoken of the recent meetings hold iu
our Court House, aud not experienced
heartfelt emotions at the lively inter
est manifested in them, and are not
ready to exclaim that a radical change
has “come over the spirit of our
dreams in Terrell county.’ The dull
lethargy that seemed to have possess
ed the people heretofore has been sup
planted by a working interest in the
three great questions that involve our
public prosperity. The laud that
had basked in tho liberties of Repub
licanism for nearly a century, Lin ing
yielded, for a season, to despotism,
making it, as it were, “a fit habitation
for devils only, ’ again gives signs of
promise, that with well directed effort
it will yet be one of the paradises of
earth.
In the political meeting, we were
glad to see so much moderation, aud
such a disposition evinced to bide our
fate as humble subjects of the law;
and whether that law be j ust or not
we hope that the bpivit manifested in
tho meeting to abide by it w ill Lo en
couraged, thereby showing to tho
world that we adorn with lwnor tho
earth we inhabit, and intend to en
hance our greatness with that of our
country’s by setting examples of vir
tue as good and peaceable citizens.
Let us not be laggards in this cause,
but remember that “eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty.”
The next in order is the Agricultu
ral mee ting which, if properly organ
ized and put in operation, is second to
no interest that should engage the
minds of the people. It is a princi
ple iu the nature of men of modesty
to imagine that others have superior
intellects, and therefore, their thoughts
are kept locked up, as it were, iu their
own bosoms, when, if they had more
confidence in their own ability, they
perhaps might do their fellow man
good by giving the result of practical
experience. The only way to dispel
doubt in regard to your own ability is
to mingle together, and in your inter
change of views, whether related in
strict compliance with the rules of
Rhetoric or not, you can have a better
chance to compare natural talents, and
add to your own strength by gathering
«f your neighbors’. Therefore, let u»
encourage the Agricultural Society,
and add another evidence to the fact
that “in union there is strength,” even
when applied to agricultural pursuits.
Nature has not yet been half explored,
(especially in our section,) and not
half her capabilities have been
brought to contribute to the happi
ness of our farmers. There are many
hidden treasures, perhaps, stowed
away in the mind of the illiterate far
mer, which he is confident has in
creased the reward of his labor, and
for his want of self-confidence has !
never allowed it to go on paper, that
others might see and read. This'
should no longer be an excuse for
not benefiting your neighbor with
your experience. Meet together, and
by giving and receiving council, bring
to light, and put in shape for useful
application, treaturcs which would |
contribute much to tho wealth and I
happiness of our laud.
Lastly, a word of cucouragemont to
those who liavo instigated a move for
the moro thorough education of the
youth of our land. No one will deny
the fact that tho majority of tho crime
committed, and superstitions that are
afloat in tho land, is tho result of ig
norance. We havo but to refer to tho
history of 6avngo and heathen na
tions to prove tho correctness of this
statement; and while the results in
our own country are not so appalling
as iu those alluded to, etiil the condi
tion of affairs is deplorable indeed.
Who would like to ooe enacted in
America the scones of India, Africa,
aud other heathen nations '(
Our general surroundings since the
war demand more than ever before 1
the education of the rising generation. ■
It is a legacy tho Heathen Gods j
would envy could they but realize the I
benefits resulting therefrom. Think ;
of your children possessing that J
which would enable them to battle j
successfully with the world when con- j
tending with its rudest elemonts.
The ravages of war cannot sweep it
an ay. Its vitality ends only with the i
decay ot mortal flesh. It enables its
possessor to grasp moro lirmly’ the
precious truths that shall prove an an- j
chor to the boul even after death. !
Who, then, does not desire to bequeath
to posterity this legacy ? No one but
so desires, we trust
Ail will agree that tho elements of
greatness iu the respects mentioned
are at our command. Improve thorn,
aud future generations Will “rise up
and call us blessed,” for having left
land-marks pointing them onward and
upward.
May every man who has a spark of
public spirit iu his bosom, awako to
the public interest, and make for him
self a name that will live when lie is dead.
Our remarks are not intended to apply
to the citizens of Terrell alone, but
hope to see similar moves made iu all
.oi SouthWcst Georgia, and will take
pleasure in chronicling proceedings of
same when furnished us.

Many inquiries having been made
at tliis oiiiee regarding tne provisions
ot the recent act of Congress touching
ihe revenue laws, I havo thought tiio
lollop ing synopsis ol the changes, and
the tnuu tho same went into effect,
would be of general interest to the
community. 1 would therefore ro
spectiufly request their publication.
\ cry rospcctiully,
W. C. Murrill, Collector.
Section first of the act of Congress
approved July 14, IfeTO, repeals all
special taxes (licenses), exetq t those

uor dealers, manulactuiers aud dealers
iu tobacco and cigars, aud brewers ;
aud takes effect on and alter May Ist,
ife7l.
Section second of said act repeals
all taxes on sales, having and except
ing sales paid by stamps (distilled
spirits, tobacco, and cigar stamps),
and the taxes on sales ol leaf tobacco,

tober, 1670.
(Section five, of said act changes the
penalty from fiity dollais to uoublo
tlie amount of tax, (but in no case to
be less than five dollars) against ail
persons who fail or neglect to affix
the proper and necessary stamp to any
paper uucumeut or writing required
Ly law to be stamped ; unci also ex
tends the time when tlie Collector is
authorized to stamp papers or docu
ments, without the penalty, to July
. 13,1671, when in the opinion of the
Collector, such papers were issued
without stamps, through mistake, or
without willui intent to delraud the
United States; aud also extend the
time where no Collection District is
established for Collectors to stamp pa
pers, and make valid in Court, all such
papers, as evidence, to January Ist,
1&72.
Section six of said act redueos 'he
tax upon incomes to two and a half
per centum upon all amounts over two
thousand dollars for the years 1670
and 1671.
The above are the more important
changes in the Revenue laws affecting
the public at largo, as enacted by the
last Congress.
W. C. Morrill, |
Collector.
Washington, Aug. 9.—lt can be
positively stated that the President
and Cabinet are very decided in tho
opinion that both tho law and sound,
public policy demand that an election I
should be held in Georgia the coming
Fall. It is believed by the strongest
intellects and the Attorney General
that the attempt to defeat an election
is a gross outrage

Tho rrusbian needle gun is the in
veutioa oi Mr. iircyso, a manufacturer
of aims at feommerda, who 6peut over
thirty yours iu trying to construct a
period breech-loading riflo. The car
tridge is inserted at the rear, and the
ignition is produced by the intrusion
or a needle into the fulminate attached
to the cartridge. The barrel is 36.06
inches Tong, aud is rifled with four
grooved* down to the breech, where
tne edamber, or bed for tho cartridge,
is suiootn aud a little larger than tne
boro Tho bed enlarges slightly to
t*>e rear, so as to admit tlio cartridge
freely, aud the lower part of the bore
for a distance of 6.17 inches is enlarg
ed so that the ball is gradually com
pressed into the grooves. The rear of
the barrel is conical, aud is called
mouth-piece. Over this part there is
a six-sided cylinder, which holds all
tlie mechanism of the piece. The air
chamber, next to the cylinder, lias the
neeele p’pe screwed into its breech.
Tho iah is spheuo-eoideal. Tho
charge oi powder is fmy-six grains.—
The weight of tlio Brussian gun is
10.27 pounds to fl.o pounds The
mechanism can be taken apart with
out screw-driver, vice, etc. it can bo
saleiy and easily cleaned, and the gun
being small is particularly adapted for
use in tlejf confined space of loop-holes,
on horseback, etc. The objections to
the Brussian needle gun are the dan
ger oi a weakening oi the spiral spring
und the possibility that tho noodle
may not be propelled with sufficient
force to pierce tue cartridge. On ac
count ol the ease and rapidity with
which it is 1 aded, there is also dan
ger of ammunition, as the soldier in
the heat ol battle, will often lire his
piece as last as possible, even when
he knows the firing lias no elfect To
make the best use of the needle gun,
the soldier requires special training
The Prussian army is very well train
ed to its use, and in this respect has
an advantage over tuo French, wno
have never been iu a great battle with
their Chassepot.
THE CHASSEPOT.
The fire-arm which has been adopt
-1 ed by the French army is tho celebra
ted Chasafepot rifle, which is probably
the most efficient weapon ever put into
the bunds of an army of infantry. It
resembles the Brussian needie-gun,
but possesses several improvements.
Ruling the late war between Brussia
and Austria ; the etfoctive work of the
newly invented needle gun attracted
the notice of all lighting nations ; and
the French, anticipating that they
would sometime be called upon to
punish Brussia for her alleged arro
gance and want of honor, immediately
set to work to invent a weapon that
should surpass the needle gun iu its
power as an engine of war. The re
suit was the invention of M. Chasse
pot, after long and careful study, hav
ing the Brussian gun to aid him and
to improve upon. After the new riflo
had been tested over and over again,
the attention of tho Emperor was in
vited to it, and it was not long before
be was convinced of its superioriiy,
und ordered its adoption in the army.
One oi' the principal improvements
winch the Chassepot has over tho nee
dle gun of Brussia, is that its move
ment is simpler, aud instead of being
i tightly enclosed in the breech by a
! eyE mlor, it is almost fully' exposed,
1 a_d the employment of India rubber
as an obturator. It is argued that
tlie Prussian gun, alter it has been
discnarged several times in quick suc
cession, becomes hot and damp in tho
chamber, owing to the inability of the
gas which comes back alter the explo
sion of tlie cartridge to escape. The
inside soon becomes dirty, and the
soldier is required to take his piece
apart and clean it. The French gun, isal
ways open, and while there is ue gas shut
up in a chamber to corrode the metal,
it can in a moment be cleansed from
dirt or rust, and the soldier is always
able to quickly discover any accident
to his rifle. It is claimed that this
gun is not so easily clogged as the
Prussian needle gun, and is mure sub
stantially' built.
The Oha sepot is handled in the
following manner: While loading,
hold the gun in tho left hand, with
the but end resting on the left hip. -
The lever is then turned with but one
government, from right to left, and
with another pulled back, alter which
the cartridge is inserted into the open
ing- thus effected. By a third move
ment—pushing back the lover into its
| original position—the gun becomes
ready to be fired off. The projectile
is a rather long slug, with the end
rounded and pointed like our rifle bail.
The charge, which is attached to it in
a paper covering, is composed of a par
ticular powder, specially manufactured
for the purpose. Tne distance to
wiiich this gun carries with certainty
is very considerable—over 1,000 me
tres. Both the infantry and tlio chas
seurs have only the one model, but
their bayonets differ, iu so iar as those
ot the chasseurs are sword bayonets.
The Female Clerks of the Period.
One of the female clerks in Washing
ton writi a letters to the Boston Herald
over the sweet signature of Lucy',
detailing tho gossip oi tlio department.
Lucy avers that one or two of ladies
have a bad habit of saying damn, and
using other cuss words rather indis
criminately; mid she has detected
another in spelling coupons phonetical
ly, that is, kupoiiys, and writing 110,-
090 as one thousand ten hundred and
nine Another was formerly a mem
ber of the bailout at Ford’s Theatre.
There is nothing strange in this latter,
however. Tho young votary of the
dramatic accessories Had influence, no
doubt, with some leading Republican
Senator; and Lucy ought not to be
dissatisfied or allege that she (the
ballet-dancer) was lobbied in by a gam
bler or a box-keeper, or other disrep
utable person; tor who ever heard of
a coryphee being compelled to lob bey
at all. She had hieuds in both Houses,
no doubt. I — y. Y. World

Atlanta, August A, 1870.
To tho members of the Jlouie of Repre
sent at ins : Duty to myeolf and respect
tor the people of my nativo State, in
my judgment, demand that I should
give some explanation in regard to
the resolutions oflered by me in the
Senate, and which passed that body
on Friday last, the effect of which was
expected to be to postpone a general
election, and prolong tfie term of of
lieu of members of the General Assem
bly and of all State officials
At the time 1 offered those resolu
tions it was honest opinion that, if this
action was not actually in accordance
with the expressed will of Congress,
their wishes, to say the least, were
lelt in great doubt, and under the cir
cumstances it would be better for the
State to postpono an election until
Congress should again* convene, and
have an opportunity to' indicate, in
clear terms, their determination on the
subject.
My intention was not to postpone
an election for two years, or lor aa
indefinite period ; but only for a few
months, that we might not again run
contrary to the views which the Fed
eral Government perhaps entertained,
aud has tlie paramount authority to
eiuorce. I made the proposition with
good motives, and, as 1 believed, in
tne interest of peace.
Tho constitutional objection to tho
resolution did not impress my mind,
probably, with the same force as it
would a person learned in tho law ;
but I did not intend to propose, nor
can I ever sanction a measure which
will deprive or withhold from the peo
ple any constitutional right, especially
the inestimable right of franchise.
Inasmuch as tho resolutions are
claimed by many, and probably would
bo construed to moan that no election
should be held in this (State for two
years, aud perhaps tffv a longer time,
i am satisfied that they ougiit not fi
nally' to pass, and regret that I pro
posed to vote for them.
Since the passage of the resolutions
by the Senate, 1 have learned more
luily, from various and opposite sources
tho his.ory of the passage of tho late
law oi Congress, and 1 am now con
vinced that it was the intention of that
body to authorize, and as far as they
could with propriety, provide for a
general election in November next, as
provided for iu our (State Constitute n.
1 may not prudently, at present, dis
close all the sources of my intorma
tiou; out I do declare that it is of
such character as to leave no reasona
ble doubt that the intention of Con
gross was to remit the government of
Georgia to the people thereof. As
sured of this, there is no good reason
for interiering with the regular course
ol our (State Government in all its de
partments.
I have wished, and still desire to
avoid all conflict with Federal author
ity. The resolutions I offered were
designed by me, to avoid the possibil
ity ol it by a brief delay of an election
until Congress should unmistakably
express ivs will. But tho words of the
law in connection with the history of
its passage, so clearly manifest to my
mind now the intention to clothe tho
people of Georgia with all the rights
of citizenship, as to leave those with
out excuse wlio would withhold them.
Thoroughly convinced that my
course and vote on this subject were
erroneous, I take the earliest oppor
tunity to i epair the wrong as iar as
may be by un honest acknowledge
ment of it, and by an earnest appeal
to you to defeat the resolutions when
they come up for action in the House
oi Representative. iV> . C. Smith.

Wilmington, August 6—Returns
enougli have been received to settle
the tact that the Conservatives earned
both Houses of the Legislature by a
decisive majority. They also carried
the 3d, 4th oth, 6th and 7th Congres
sional Distracts, which makes the del
egation stand five Conservatives and
two Republicans.
Waddle (Conservative) is undoubted
ly-elected, though two counties aro yet
to hear from. Careful estimates fix
bis majority at 87b.
It is conceded that Shipp, Conserv
ative candidate for Attorney General
carries the State.
Raleigh, August 6.—-Election re
turns received to-day confirm the pre
vious opinion expressed that the State
has gone Democratic by from five to
I fifteen thousand majority. Cobb, Re
! publican, in the first ilistret, and Nix
on, to fill tho vacancy occasioned by
tho death of Heaton, and Thomas,
both Republicans, of the second dis
trict, are certainly elected. Additional
returns render tho election of Wad
dell, Conservation, over Docking, Re
publican, certain Gilliam, Conservative
; to fill Dowel’s vacancy, and Rogers,
j Conservative, to the next Congress
from tho fourth district, are elected.
Rogers beat Harris, a negro, about
nine hundred. Leach, Conservative,
is elected over Scott, Republican, for
i the sixth district. Harper, Conserv
; ative, is doubtless eleetd over Jones,
Republican. Both houses of the Leg
islature will be largely Democratic.
Some claim a two-thirds majority in
each House.
A Slandered People. —A corres
pondent whom the Now York Herald
has sent out to ascertain the truth
with regard to the rebellious county
of Alamance, North Carolina, the best
part of whose resjiectable citizens are
in jail, makes a report which, coining
from a Northern man, should startle
the country'. Stephens, the murdered
Senator, he rays was a notorious thief,
had frequently confessed and com
pounded his crimes, and a pest to so
ciety. There is not the slightest!
ground for the belief that polities; had j
anything to do with his death. Be-1
sides his case, but tw - o murders have j
occurred in the county since 1860, j
and the writer says a more respectable
and orderly community does not exist,
