Mr. Carpenter, though a standi

To read the glowing letters

queer, however that every enter

as that is the case no one need be
surprised that nothing points to
our own sea points with a view of
building them up. Everything
point to New York and every New
Yorker is alive to tlie importance
of keeping up that system—and
they only place tlicir money in
systems that will keep it up. All

that there is but little importance

A MISTAKE COBRECTED.
The Constitution says. “The
vcjndticcs of tho suproino court oi
Georgia were yesterday very much
surprised to find that their decision
upon the Renfro case recently pub-
- fished in tho Constitution, an unin
tentional injustice has been done to
Governor Colquit, which they cheer
fully correct in the text of the do
cision itself. The statement is made
■ in the decision that the securities 1 {
Mr. Renfro, on the bond of 1877,
taken by Governor Colquitt, had
not made oath that they were worth
over and above tlieir debts, liabili-
A. ties and exemptions of all kinds, not
leps than tho specified sums for
which I10 was hound. An exami
nation of the bond shows that the
securities were required to and did
tnake such oath.
“The mistake by the court was
duo to the fact that the oath of the
securities was incorporated in the
body of the bond, and was not
Attached in separate affidavits, and
was thus overlooked. The matter

ciples of tho decision nor change

the less’a matter of justice to the
. governor to make this correction.
Some of the papers have published
and commented upon this matter,
.and it will be a proper act of justice
’ to the executive to correct the mis-
• 'v4ake and call attention to it,”
The oldest living student ot the
' UmvGrsity of North Carolina is

Mecklenburg county, Virginia,
who matriculated in 1808, and is
jiow in his gighty-ninth year 01

cept one,of the Congress of 1819,

getting German carp for our Geor
gia lisli ponds from U. S. Fish
Comis’r in this city, during the
ensuing spring and summer, is ul
most hopeless. Prof. Spencer F.
Baird of the Smithsonian Institute
us you perhaps know, is U. S
Comis’r on Fish and Fisheries. 1
havo recently made application to
him for quite a number of friends
in Georgia for a supply of Ger
man carp, and he informs me that
in consequence of the injury done
to ponds hero by the late freshet
in tho Potomac, it was out of his
power to comply with the request,
and lie fears he would not be able
to fill any more orders until next
full. He said in one of his letters
that the best chance was to apply
to Dr. Cary, State Fish Commis’r
at LaGrange, Georgia. IIe bad
just before the freshet here furnish
ed him with a very large supply
of German carp, and Dr. Cary
had perhaps not disposed of all lie
received.
Now as this Congress will come
to a eloso very soon (4th March,)
I would advise you to write direct
ly to Frof, Spencer F. Baird, and
let him know what you want, tho
number of ponds, and the number
of individuals you desire to sup
ply, &c. lie has certain printed
regulations which must bo com
plied with iu all cases where fish
are scut put. Each of these blanks
which are furnished must set forth
the name of tho applicant, charac
ter of the pond, soil and other
tilings. He must he recommen
ded also by a member of Congress.
All this you will see when you
get the regulations to which I re--
i'er, and which Prof. Baird will
send you.
When you get these regulations
and havo them properly filled out
and send them to mo, I will cheer
fully endorse any application you
may recommend to me, I11 this
way, by taking time by tho fore
lock, I think all tho ponds in
Washington county may be sup
plied early in the fall. I do not
see much hope of securing this
object before.
Youra truly,
Alexanlkii II. Stephens.
Sitting in the school-room I ov
erheard a conversation between 1
sister and brother. Tho little boy
complained of insults and wrongs
recioved from another little hoy.
Ilia face was flushed with anger,
fho sister listened awhile, and then,
turning away, she answered, “I do
not want to hear another word;
Willie has no mother.” The broth
ers lips were silent; the rebuke
came homo to him. and, stealing
away hemut'erd, “I never thought
of that.” He thought of his own
mother, and tho loneliness ol
“Willie” compared with his own
happy lot. “He has no mother. ’
Do we think of it when want comes
to the orphan, and rude words as
sail him? Has the little wanderer
no mother to listen Jo his little sor
rows? Speak gently to him then.
