United States Treasurer’s Report.
Washington, November 22.—United
States Treasurer Gilfillan, In his annual
report, shows that the receipts of the gov
ernment compare favorably with tnose of
th.; previous fiscal year, and anincieaso
from customs, Internal revenue and sales
of public lands of $59,811,505.78 and a de
crease in tliuscfrom miscellaneous sources
of only $112,70.20. The expenditures
show an increase of $005,074.25 in aggre
gate a« compared with the previons year
caused by an increase oi $22,385,040.6
iu ]K>ytnenis on account of the Interior
Department, but show a decrease of $21,-
695.81 iu expenditures for interest and
premium oil the public debt, on civil au.l
miscellaneous accounts and for the war
and nary departments.
In relation to national banks, liesajs the
banks have availed themselves to a large
extent of the privilege accorded by tbe
act authorizing any national bank desir
ing lo withdraw its circulating notes to
take up bomls deposited for the security
of such notes, upon depositing lawful
money witli the treasurer of the United
Slates, ami providing that an equal
amount of llio outstanding notes of the
hank shall be redeemed at the treasury of
the United States. lie states that more
than eighty-five millions of circulation
have been surrendered in tlio manner pre
scribed, and nearly seventy-one millions
have been redeemed at his office. This
provision was adopted so that it would
act as a regulator of tho volume of bank
circulation. It was expected when the
circulation became redundant the surplus
would be retired, and when a demand for
more circulation should spring up the
banks would increase their issue to meet
it. Tills expectation has not been real
ized. The reduction has been solely to
enable tbe banks to avail themselves of
the ruling premium on bonds withdrawn,
oillter because the bonds were exception
ally high or beca .se tho banks needed
the premiums to enable them to meet the
losses sustained or to reduce their premi
um account.
It is plain the action of the banks would
not be affected by the fact that tho vol
ume of circulation was redundant, for the
simple reason that the bank has more
at its disposal, after reducing its circula
tion, Ilian before. A bank which deposits
$45,000 to reduce its circulation takes up
$50,000 of its bonds, which it sells for 10
per cent, premium, and has $10,000 more
to lend than before. While, tlierefore, the
retirement of bank circulation diminishes
the aggregate volume of circulation, it in
creases the loanable funds of the paiticular
hank whose circulation is reduced.
On the same subject Mr. Gilfil
lan says: “Although the exact
amount cannot be ascertained,
it is safe to say that many millions of ad
ditional circulation have been issued,
through the office of the comptroller of the
currency, to banks which were still redu
cing their circulation through the oflice of
the treasurer. The consequence lias been
that the new notes thus issued have to a
large extent been speedily presented to
the treasurer for redemption out of legal
tender deposits. The banks which have
applied in vain to the treasurer for a sur
render of their legal tender deposits, have
accomplished ttic same object by obtain
ing a new circulation from the comptroll
er of currency. The cost of printing the
new notes thus issued is paid for by tbe
United Stales, so that tho government,
though not deriving "tho remotest benefit
from the transaction, has been obliged to
bear the whole expense of their issue and
a part of the expense of their redemption,
simply to enable a bank to do indirectly
what it was cot permitted to do directly.
In seVeral instances the banks have re
lated die operation of reducing and in
creasing liieir circulation several times
within a brief period, taking up their
bonds and selling them, it would appear,
w henever the premium constituted a suffi
cient inducement and increasing tlie cir
culation again whenever bonds could be
b ought at better rates—tho United States

own expense, or that of other batiks, and
issuing others also. at iu own expense

A Barber's Pole in Politics.
It is altogethor- prol>ab)e that there will
be a barber, or, as lie prefers to call him
self, a tonsoriml artist, in the next nation
al House. He’s colored, of course. The
joke of It all is that the colored artist,
Johnson by name, will go up from the
lirsl Arkansas district, which, two years
ago, was considered so solidly Democratic
that no opposition' was made to Colonel
lVmdexter Dunn, who has been seeking a
re-election' In vain. No one doubted
Dunn’s election, wherefore hardly any
one took the- tremble to vote for him. A
few weeks before tho election Johnson,
observing the general apathy of the Dem-
oerats, concluded that tbe Lord was call
ing him. Laid aside was tbe razor he was in
the habit of flourishing at Augusta, and
' called into service was an old spavined
mule, the sole proparty of Mr. Johnson,
aside from the furnishing of his barber
shop. There were some strong Republi
can counties in the twenty odd which go
torurm I lie district, and for these struck
ont the barber and hi# mule. He was en-
doised there as the party’s candidate for
Congress, and then commenced with that
mulo a still hunt which enables tbe color
ed barber to write M. C. after ills name,
while Dunn, with the arUU-cnrtie name
of Poindexter, will tarry in A:kansas till

Postmaster General's Report.
Washington, November 23.—The an
nual report of Postmaster General May
nard to tbe President was made public to
day. It presents a large amount of sta
tistical information concerning tbe opera
tions of the department, most of which
itas already been published in the ab
stracts of tbe reports of hit subordinate
officers. The Postmaster General »P‘
proves the action of Assistant Postmaster
General Brady in spending upon the Star
Service last year more than the amount
appropriated therefor, and says that, un
der the circumstances, “to have restricted
the postal service to the meagre appropri
ation for 1880 would have rendered It en
tirely Inadequate to the wants of the peo
ple.” He also approves General Brady’s
estimates for tbe next fiscal year, and
recommends an appropriation for the con
tinuance of special mail facilities on rail
roads. It is also recommended that Con
gress authorize the Postmaster General to
pay reasonable subsidies to such lines of
American steamers as may be employed
nuder contracts with the Postoffice Departs
ment, in transporting the mails oi tbe
United States to Mexican, Central Ameri
can,* South American and trans-Pocific
ports.
Tho PostraaiterGcneral says the money
order system continues to grow in popu
lar favor, its operations having been in
creased lrom about ono million dollars iu
1865 to more than one hundred millions
in the past year. It is recommended that
money orders not exceeding five dol
lars be reduced to five cents, and that tbe
maximum limit for orders be increased to
$100.
Phe Portmasfer General also suggests
the establishment of a postal savings sys
tem of postal telegraphs, and of a foreign
parcel post, by means of which small
packages containing dutiable merchandise
shall bo exchangeable with foreign coun
tries, through the mails.
Mr. Maynard renews the recommenda
tion of his predecessor, that the privileges
of the registry aud money order system
be denied by law to all lotteries, whether
the latter be fraudulent or not, and that
newspapers containing lottery advertise
ments be deprived of the privileges of the
mails.
The report couclndes as follows: “The
department has, from the beginning, ex
hibited continued growth, corresponding
witli the development of tire country,
aud at tbe same time a constant improve
ment in the methods and results. 1c has
been the unvarying aim of tlio adminis-
tiou lo correct the abuses, to remedy the
defects, aud to secure increased efficiency.
Iu the future, I am persuaded no efforts
will be spared to bring tho service to a
»tate of ideal perfection. Nothing en
trusted to it shall be lost,or ever delayed.”
Paths, November 23.—The Chamber of
Deputies to-day adopted a motion order
ing an inquiry into the DeCHsey affair,
after a motion for adjournment had been
rejected.
Or.e hundred and twenty deputies have
Isigned M. Reneault’s proposition for a
grant of fifty million francs for tho con,
struction of a tunnel through Simplon
mountain. It is stated that Italy aud
Switzerland have promised subventions.
Prills, November 23.—M. Leon Cog-
nicli, tlio celeora’.ed French painter, is

London, November 23.—Advices from
Egypt represent that an outbreak of a war
between the government of that country
and Abyssinia cannot long bo delay-
ee. Sixteen ihousaud soldiers aro said to

IMancukstei:, November 23.—Tlio
\Guardian says tlio cotton operatives in
northeast Lancashire are renewing the ag
itation iu Tavor of an increase of wages on
account of the unproved condition of tbe
cotton trade.
London, November 23.—Lord Bca-
consficld’s new novel In three volumes
entitled “Endyiulon” treats of the politi
cal events from the time of life death of
Canning to about the year 1842. The
Standard reviewing the work says.
“It is a political narrative which, it will
probably be thought, has less plot and
dramatic interest than almost any of even
l«ord Beaconsfield’s novels. Among tho
cliaractcrs supposed to figure iu the novel,
under various pseudonyms, are John
Uriel)t, Lord Palmerston, Lord Aliclio,
Loril Melbourne, Baron De Rothschild,
and Louis Napoleon. It is Joubtful
whether the liero “Endyinion” can be
identified with any political personage,
although lie suggests Lord Beaconfleid
himself.”
General Presentments.
We, the undersigned, selected and
sworn as grand jurors for the October
term of Bibb Superior' Court, having
passed upon the several bills of indictment
submitted to us, do now make these, our
general presentments.
I’UDLIC BUILDINGS.
We find the court house, hospital and
tail In good condition, excepting some
needed repairs to one cell in the jail aud
the floors in tho hospital. We are of the
opinion that a new jail is very much
needed, and do recommend that one be
erected as soon as the condition of tho
county .finances may justify.
TH'ULXC HOADS AND BUI DOES.
The state of tho roads throughout tire
county generally is as good as could bo
expected, considering .the extraordinary
amount of rain during the past few weeks,
and the wear and tear caused by hauling
the cotton crop to market, which has made
our principal highways rough to a very
uuusual degree. The Marion road in tho
East Macon district wo note especially as
being iu a bad condition, as also,
the bridge on the Jeffersonville road near
Tharp’s mill. We recommend that the
present Board of Commissioners locate
and establish, without delay, a public road
through the river swamp below the city,
and that such road, when established, be
wonted and kept fn repair by the regular
road force of the county. We have ap
pointed IL A. Nisbet, Esq., to fill tbe va
cancy on the Board of ltoad Commission
ers caused by tbe death of Mr. J. W. Nis
bet. •
HOSPITAL AND CHARITIES. j
We have visited, itm hospital which, af
ter a careful survey, wo find in good con
dition, very clean and well conducted,
presenting a neat, appearance with its
whitewaslied bouses and fencing. In com
pany with tho surgeon in charge and the
steward; we inspected the several wards,
finding every arrangement made for the
sick and comfort for all, as far as tbe
class of ttillfiittffs would permit. There
are forty-four inmates, sick, aged, blind
and otherwise infirm; the whiles and col
ored being about equal in number; one-
tliird are w holly disabled for labor by
reason of oldage and other causes. The
surgeon informed us that six or eight pa
tients arc now in.* condition to be dis
charged. Of tbe laborers employed there
are one white and three colored. The
garden is excellently well attended to and
contains all the vegetables of the season
In abundance. Our inspection of these
premises warrants us’jn saying that Dr. J.
E. Blackshear, the surgeon, and Mr. b.
Harman, steward, are good and efficient
officers, attentive to them duties and hu
mane In their conduct.
Mr. W- G. Smith, Clerk of tbe County
Commissioners, reports that there are
now one hundred and fifty iudigent poor
receiving aid from tbe county—80 whites
and 70 colored.

Report of the War Department
■Washington, November 21.—The an
imal report of the Secretary of War to tho
President was made public to-day. It
gives a general review of the various sub
ordinate reports—calls attention to tbeir
several recommendations, and details at
some length the operations of tho War
Department during the year. .' ‘ .
The expenditures for all affairs under
the control of the depart inapt for the last
fiscal yea.* were $39,924,773. Tho esti
mates' for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1832, are $43,027,055.
With regard to tho Mississippi river
commission tho secretary says: “The
Mississippi river commission, operating
in accordance witli the act approved Juno
28,1S70, submitted a report which was

death to be divided among testator's chil

pointed out- , It was provided that there
should be no sale of negroes for the sake
of distribution, but that the executor
shall divide^ them into lots as Dearly
equal as possible, and that the difference
in equality be made up in money. Intbe
same year tbe executor returned that he
had $6,454.09 cash left at the death of tes

What Constitutes a Dealer—I not ruc
tions from Fudge Ersklne. j.
Tho following from tho Savannah
Neics, will be of service to many of our
citizens: •, 1
Yesterday morning, in his charge to tho
grand jury in tho United States. Courts,
His Honor Judge John Erskinc stated
substantially that tbe rule of the court is
that to make a person a dealer in liquor
or tobacco, it must be shown that he sold
a'glass of liquor or piece ol tobacco more
than once. In other words, that tbo sell
ing of ono glass of liquor, or a single
plug of tobacco, docs not make a man out
as carrying on the business of a retail
dealer in cither of tlioso articles, Unless
ho does so repeatedly. The information
was given with a view to prevent tbe find
ing of indictments against parties who
may bo airested on tbe most trivial
charges, oftentimes based upon tbe simple
selling of a glass ot liquor or a piece of
tobacco once.

estopped from denying the partnership,
and bis liability thereunder.
2. That a witness lias refreshed his

from Newton.
1.. It was jm error fbr the court to reluae
a request to charge and to state in the
hearing of the jury that there was no evi
dence to authorize such a charge, when in
fact there was such evidence.
2. When an attorney represented a par
ty in court witli iris knowledge, and he
did not object thereto, the presumption is
Ilia*, such iftmees were rendered witli his
consent, and under an implied contract to
pay what these services were reasonably
worth. But it does not follow, if there
were more parties than one on a side, and
tbe attorney was employed by only one,
and the others had knowledge that lie was
representing the whole case and the ser
vices were for tboir benefit, aud accepted
by them, |>hqtto avoid liability it was their
duty to, have notified the attorney that
they would not be liable.
3. It was an error for the court to repeat
again and again that portion of his charge
whiah was favorable, to the plaintiff,
but not that'part which was favorable to
tlie defendant.

Saduen Death.
Our entire city will be shocked this
morning at the announcement of tho
death of our respected fellow.citizen,
Capt. I, A. Hines, who died very sudden
ly at his residence last night. It is, in
deed, one of the most sad aud uuex;iectcd
deaths we have ever been called upon to
record. Yesterday evening Capt. Hines
went home from his daily business in ap
parent good health, little thinking, as did
those around him, perhaps, that he was so
near the end of his earth iy existence. Be
fore 10 o’clock last night lie was a corpse.
Captain Hines was employed as assist
ant postmaster in the post-office in this
city, and went home after the usual hour
of closing the office, yesterday evening.
He found company al home, aud made uo
complaints of being unwell. Wiien sup
per was announced Captain Hines took
his seat at tlie head of the table, invoked
the usual divine blessing, helped the plates
and commenced eating. Alt of a sudden,
without speaking a word, he threw his
left bind to his forehead. His wife no
ticed that something was wrong, and ask
ed him what the matter was. Jtisl then a
gurgling noise was heard, and other symp
toms that produced alarm were apparent.
The deceased fell back in his chair, and
was removed as speedily as possible to his
room. He never spoke or showed the
least sign r f consciousness afterward. Ev
erything that medical skill ami loving
hands could suggest and perform was
dona to restore him; but all in vain. In
less than two hours lie breathed ids last.
Captain Hines was Vom in Macon, Ga.,
in June, 1S39, and was tlierefore forty-one
years of age. He leaves a wife aud four
little chilaien to mourn the irreparable
loss which tbev have been so suddenly
called upon to sustain. He married the
daughter of onr esteemed fellow towns
man, Dr. E. W. Alfriend, and was tlie
brother of Dr. Richard Hines, of Macon,
and of Mrs. II. F. Iloyt, the latter being
now quite ill at ids late residence in this
city. In tills sad bereavement these lov
ing ones have the sincere sympathies of
our entire community. . The deceased was
a captain in the Confederate army, and
made a good soldier, commanding tlie es
teem ana manly respect of his comrades
in a time that “tried men’s souls." Peace
to Ids memory.—Albany • Seus and Ad

MAKING VOTES 1ST OHIO.

last Republic** Totes,
Coli- mbls, November 15.—Tho ~ Col
umbus Buggy Company oftbts city is one
of the largest in this country, sad over 000
voters are employed by Ba managers.
The huge majority of them aro Demo-
crats. Tlie company sells nearly .-ill <)f
its work In the South, and ha* bttlt up
an immense business, aud its managers
made fortunes.
Before tlie late election they notified
their employes if Hancock was elected
they would shirt down the works, while
if Garfield was elected they would not
ouly be able to maintain present prices
for labor, but increase them. Tbeir
lawyer further posted them how to
manage the workmen and still
evade tbe statutes. A ceo6ns was ta
ken of the voters, and priuled lists, with
name, age and residence, wore placed at
al! tlie polling ptaces where any of them
voted, aud under the eye of the Republi
can ticket holder and challenger- By
tins means not a single one of them could
vote the Democratic ticket without being
detected, aud.feeling that detection meant
dismissal, nearly or quite 400 Democrats
voted the Republican ticket, and Colum
bus, Instead of giving a Democratic major
ity 1 gave a Republican majority, as many
other Republican employer* adopted sim
ilar methods.
Now the employes of the Buggy Com
pany have been informed that they will
get 20 per cent, of their wages hi cash,
and tbe remainder in “store orders.” Tbe
stores, of course, put up the prices on tbo
workingmen and make a heavv ■ discount
to the company, so that the wages of the
workingmen will be cut down from 20 to
23 per cent., in addition to being disfran
chised at 1 lie polls.
The Republicans having obtained a ma
jority In the late election in the city are
systematically at work to secure it for
the future. The plan is this: All the
wealthy Republicans and Republican
firms are discharging white laborers,
where skilled labor is not required, and
filling tbeir places with negroes from Ken
tucky aud the two Virginia*. Tbe white*
who are now being discharged will be
compelled to go elsewhere for employ
ment, and from 500 to 700 negroes will
lake liieir places on the voting lists. The
white laborer cannot be depended on to
vote tlie Republican ticket; the negro can.
Tiffs colonization is not being carried on
in Columbus alone, but In s number of
rcmocratic cities where a few hundred
reliable Republican votes will prevent, the
election of Democratic Senators and. Rep
resentatives In in the Leglslsture next

CALIFORNIA VINICULTURE.
T«» Tana of Grapes *® the A ore—Rich
er Crops than Wbmt
The San Francisco Bulletin says W. B.
West, of San Joaquin county, lias sold,
this year,lhree hundred tous of grapes,pro
duced on twenty-eight acres of land, which
is over ten tons to tbe acic. Tbs two sorts
comprised in the sale were the Mission
and Black Prince. It is understood that
the average price brought was $27 a ton, a
low average, because the Mission grape
rates low in tho market. The vineyard is
probably one of theoldestonesof Jau Joa
quin county, but it is one of the most pro
ductive iu tne State. We bear of a num
ber of vineyards which have this year pro
duced teu tons to the'acre. At this rate
of production viniculture is a much more
satisfactory business than wheat growing.
A great deal of land In the Napa Valley
la still devoted to wheat.
But the average production is low com
pared with wbat it was twenty years ago.
Young vineyards do not produce too tons
to tlio acre by a long way. But iu the
fourth year from tlie time the cuttings
wete put out, tlie grape crop is far more
valuable than the largest wheat crop
which could have been taken from the
same land. The instances cited are not
isolated ones by any means. Some vine
yards have done even betterj or rather tbe
net profit has been greater. But in such
instances choice tuule grapes wore pro
duced, which were cither sold for Eastern
shipment, or were sold in' this market for
domestic consumption.
It must bo remembered aiao that, as a
general rule, vineyards which produce ten
tons to tbe acre are irrigated, aud that
the extra cost or irrigation is an item,
which bears directly 011 net profits. Those
who have mountain vineyards producing
lour or five tons to the' acre, we appre
hend, arc well enougli satisfied, because
in no other way can they make their acres
produce as much in value. Some ot tbe
choice grapes grown on mountain sides
have been sold as high as $30 a ton, and
in a few instances even more has been
paid, while a few viniculturists who have
produced early grapes for' the Eastern
maiket have realized much higher
prices. 1 .
The Poisoned Marriage Guest*.
NewVouk, November 24.—A Knox

pai ticulars of the recent poisoning in tbo
vicinity of Kingston, forty miles from
Knoxville; On Thursday evening last was
celebrated the marriage of Joel Hembeil,
well known iu that county, and Miss Dail,
an accomplished daughter of Col. Dail,
at whose residence about forty ladies and

a reception was tendered the couple, and
extensive arrangements had been prepared
for their entertainment. By some means
in preparing the feast arsenic was used in

number have since died. Tha first victim
was little Miss Lowry, an orphan. Mr.
May, of Missouri, and Mr. Galiaher, of

To-day another one is added to the num
