DoWitt Tnlmage, D. D., will lecture in Savannah to-night, the 15tb. His subject will be the “Bright side of things." Albany’s artesian well delivers 30 gallons of water per minnte, and has force enough to r^ise a stream 35 feet above the level of the ground. Now, Guitcau had a little pistol and with it he did change the whole complexion of the government of these United States. Guess ho will be pur- duued. Central Railroad stock has gone still lower this week. It is quoted at 107£ to 108. It is our candid opin ion that it will be uiiicb lower than that iu twelve months. Gov. Holden, of North Carolina, ban been recently paralyzed, but is improving. This disease seems to be gaining foothold, somehow. The som ber continues to increnxe, yesrly. Three sisters named respectively Mis. Smith, Mrs. Watsuu and Mrs. W'iuHiuore died on the ‘Jth inst, iu Philadelphia, of natural causes, with in ten winates of each other.

The release is on parole for a week, in order to enable him to visit a sister in Paris, whose child has just died. A delegation from the fown of Mc Donough, Go., recently culled on Mnj McCracken, superintendent of con st ruction of M. & B. extension, •tier ing him $30,000 if he would change the line of the road one mile, so as to come through their town. He told them that would bo impracticable, but that for the $30,000 ho would move the town to the r.ilroad, lock, stock and barrel, and put I ho houses just ns they might wis! A Rivers, Ga. correspondent of the Macon lelegraph, under date of April 8tb, writes: For some time past the farmers of this (Oaky Wood) district of Dough erty have been considerably annoyed by agents of tbo turpentine farms on ♦he Brunswick and Albany railroad, by decoying their hands off. Busi ness is likely to bo stopped for awhile, us ou Inst Friday they succeeded in bagging one Win. Fields (colored), and having abundant evidence to con vict, intend uniting mid Hying to give him the full benefit of tin- law. The Senate of Illinois Ims sent up a petition to Gov. Critteudom of Mis souri, for the pardon, forthwith, of Bob Ford, the murderer of Jesse James, the notorious murderer, cut throat and train-robber. Whilst this petition was Ixing gotten up uud signed, the people of Jumes’ town were actually putting on more agony over his death, than if he had been a young President. His remains were followed to the grave by nu immense concourse of people. The preachers eulogized him and the choir sang: “\\ hut a friend we have in Jesus,” etc. What inconsistency! TI1K HAII.Ri >AD COMMISSION. The railroads, it seems, are not the only ones effected bv the Commission. The Southern Express Company, too, has come in for its share of reduction. The rates of the company huv„ boen reduced from tou to one hundred per cent, New tariffs are being arranged and will be out at an early day. The people of the Stale should appreciate this by their increased patronage, so that what is lost iu quality may be made up in quantity. IS CJUITEAU INSANE P This question seems to posh itself e American peo] Scovillo, tbroi S. Johnson, has 'aeon B. Loomis, judge ty court of Cook county, Illinois, for guardianship of the per son and property of Charles J. Gui- teau. In the plea she states that many people, believing him insane, have presented him with sums of money, and that be is getting a large income from sale of photographs and antographs, and, further, that he is now negotiating for the sale of his body after death, if he should be exe cuted, etc. An exchange says: The attorney for Mrs. Scoville in this case is Wm. 8. Johnson, who is one of oar brightest young criminal lawyer, and has much experience in insane coses. In the celebrated Clar et murder trial here Johnson cleared Minnie Dixon on the ground of in sanity. He wo8 formerly engaged with Emory A. Storrs iu the practice of law. This is an unexpected turn of affairs in the case, and while the question of bis insanity will be tried here in Chicago, whether Guiteuu is present or not, the case requires triul by jury before Judge Loomis, and the question will aguin come up as to whether Guiteaa was insane or not at the time of the shooting of President Garfield. Newly discovered evidence will be introduced at the trial of the case in Chicago. Many witnesses who were not present at the Washing ton trial will be iu attendance here at the next term of the circuit court in May, JITDOK MEltsHON BEFORE THE OKAND Jl’HY OF W\KK. Waycroat Reporter. After the reading of the general presentments by solicitor Mabry, the Judge, in nu able and truly eloquent conversational tone scanned them, 8usciuctly, until be enme to that part which related to the traffic in spiritu ous liquors, wherein tbo Grnud Jury hud recommended that our next rep resentative to the Legislature bo in structed uud requested to get a spe cial act passed, subject of course to ratification \>y the people, imposing a license tux of $10,000 on any retail vender of liquors iu this county; when lie came to th.s part of the present ments lie grew more eloquent than ever and 11clicored one of the best, most impr. ssivo, patriotic, emotional uud affecting temperance lectures ev er listeUi d to in these parts, portray ing iu measured terms the misery, the wretchedness, the vice, the distress, the evils, the misfortunes, the heart- breakings, the tears of the widow timi the orplniu incident to this unholy and unrigliteous traffic. The venera ble and learned Rev. Dr. J. M. Mar shall, being present, was moved to such an extent that lie would rap ou the desk and pronounce an “amen” occasionally. Just such a scene has seldom ever occurred in a court room, the affects of which will go with that jury and tin- audience as long as they live. The Judge lets certainly raised himself very much in the estimation of nil good citizens. i;nhav« ,T*y M ESS. A correspondent of the Macon tel egraph thus discourses ou the politi cal complexion of the new movement in Georgia politics: “It is altogether incomprehensible to me bow any icspcctahle Gauoassinu tilled—as he oiiyiit to lit—with aspi rations ior the elevation of humau kind, can obtain his consent- to enlist in a party which openly declares for the supremacy of the lowest classes and a carnival of crime.

Touching the completion of the new road, Col. Cole said. “It is assured beyond doubt that the road from Atlanta to Macon will be completed by the first of July, and that trains will be ruuuing by that time. General Thomas,’ Mr. Seney and others interested hope to be here and take a trip over the road from here to Macon on the 4tb of July. “Are the steel rails bought for the whole line ? “Yes, sir, we purchased fifteen thousand tons of steel rails which will lay the track from Rome to Macon.— Twelve thousand tons have already beeu delivered and are now on the line between here and Macon, and be tween here and Rome. One thousand tons are now on the way for delivery and the balance will be here before it is needed. Every mile of rail between bere and Macou is lying along the track to-day? “The grading is nearly finished ?” "Yes, sir. Sixty miles of the nine ty have been completed und ready for the track. Of the other thirty, all of it is under way. Major McCracken thinks the line from bere to Rome will be finished by t he 1st of July. He is a very cautions talker and a very sagacious worker." “No puuic or disturbance could ef fect the road now ?’’ "Why, uu sir. The money to build these extensions was ready the day the new company was formed. Every dollar has been paid in and is iu bank awaiting tbe call of Major McCracken, who has charge of the construction.— There are uo circumstances conceiva ble that could preveut the completion of the two roads, from Atlanta to Ma con and from Atlanta to Rome, so that Atlanta may rely on having two new roads at least beforo tbe present summer is gone. CARP CULTURE. Facts ConnFctftd with th»* Govern* motif KxppHniHif. Washington Star. The yearly draining off of the water from the Government carp ponds was commenced last Saturday, ami contiu ned Monday. Results show that the season for breeding has beeu success fill beyoud the expectation of Prof. Baird. There uro now three large ponds iu which fish have keen culti vated. Iu the group at the foot of the Washington monument, auothor (inuch larger than the others) will be added the coming season, containing eight acres. The pond will bo com pleted in a few days, when the water will be let in, and a stock of about 250 large carp will be put iu, which, it is expected, will materially increase tbi annual supply to inci-t the orders re ceived by Prof. Baird. The number of yonng carp of lust year's spawn thus far taken out of these ponds and plnced in tbe pools on tbe small is land by tbe lakes is estimated to bo about 340,000. These are the young fish hatched out the last season in May. June and Julv, and are now of nearly a nnform size, healthy, and just in a condition to be shipped.— The entire cumber sent from this city last year by Prof. Baird was about 300,000. That number will probably be nearly doubled this year. The large pond will be stocked this spring for (lie first time, ned it is thought will swell the number to be distrib uted next year to at least 1,000,000. There are about seventy of tbe origi nal fish brought from Germany still alive in the sen ponds.

Liberty county is entitled to the palm for tbe ;irst corn in tassel this season. 0 subject may be attributed to moti which are entirely alien to my mind, I know that a systematic attempt has been made to impress upon tbe minds of the Northern people the idea that the people whom I immediately rep resent are especially hostile to the en forcement of these revenue laws. Like their Representative, sir, they are not enamored with these laws. They find it difficult to understand why a farm er cannot sell tbe products of his own farm to his neighbor without appear ing on the criminal docket. But there is no undue demonstration of hostility there. And the systematic exaggeration of a certain revenue offi cial in that district reminds me of what Dr. Livingstone said was the custom of tbe Becbuana Hottentots. The great oxplorer tells us that when that people would give him a misera ble goat they would exclaim, “Behold, an ox!’’ So it has been with the re ports of this revenue officer. Isolated instances of a violation of the law by a few people have been made to involve entire counties and a pretense for ex pensive expeditions to be puid liberal ly from the public Treasury. Gentlemen have observed bow tbe columns of the Washington newspa pers are occasionally enlivened by tel egrams from the South reciting how valiant revenue officiate, presumably at great risk to themselves, have seized aud destroyed large distilleries, immense quantities of malt and uinsh, and oceans of beer and spirits. Why, sir, the mail is not sufficiently swift to convey to the world the acconiits of the achievements of the doughty lieutenants of the honorable Commis sioner of Iuterual Revenue, and so electricity is invoked for that pur pose. Let an investigation be asked, and the telegrams are multiplied. Con spiracies, ambuscades, murders und riots Hush along the wires like the sheet lightning iu a summer's even ing, until an unsuspecting and patri otic people, a quiet agrt, ultural and pastoral people, who are devoted to the Government and its principles, are made to appear, by falsehood and calumny, as rebellious and disaffected. A tew weeks ago the following startling telegram, in substance, was forwarded to Washington by tbetbeu collector of tbe second district of Georgia: “A few days ago,” said the telegram, “my deputy discovered and broke up a bud ueet ut distillers iu Gwinnett county. Since that time the guide, William Rice, bus beeu murdered,’’ and I believe that the tel egram said tbnt Ins head was cut off. “I have sent a deputy to investigate,” said tko collector. Now, we have not beard from the deputy, but the people down thore have mudo an investigation, and it is ascertained that William Rice is not dead; that there bus been no murder, uo homicide, no mutilation, no decap itation. But I am very happy to say that the investigation of the honorable Secretary of the Treasury, which was pending at tkut particular juncture with reference to this revenue collec tor, has resulted in his discharge, and the alleged itecapitation of William Rice did not prevent the actual de capitation of the collector. Sir, it would be well if gentlemen ! knew the difference between a distil-1 _ lery properly so culled, one of tbe mammoth struct tires that you Nee iu the North and West, mid tbe wretch ed and paltry contrivance to distil a few gulluus of peach or apple brandy or corn whiskey, which so excites anil iutlames the representatives of the Revenue Bureau in that country. Perhaps a withered beldame, “old and droll,” is driving along a moun tain rood. Her conveyance is a rick- etty two-wheeled cart. Her team is a miserable bull, whose native ferocity has been tamed by hard penury. It is true, perhops, that there is under tbe fodder in the body of the cart a five-gallou keg of whiskey to which there is affixed no stamp bearing the noble and classic features of tbe Com missioner himself. The deputies are in ambush for her. They rush upon her, and like Falstaff are masters of her wealth. She screams and scratch es with all her might iu the defense of her broperty. And then the wires flash to Washington—“Great seizure of blockade spirits; desperate resist ance by the armed defender, but the gallant officers captured the moon shiner with wagon aud team.” Now, I say, aud I say it with all candor, tins is in a large measure typ ical of many cases of which the Nortb- my town a colored man—a good I publican, too, I will say. His n.imj was Adam Malone. And though hot I ' ‘ ’ enfranchised, he bad au honest I to obey the laws of thatgov.l it which had conferred on him I ti triable boon of freedom. He I ihoemaker, and iu some wav I tot his work, had become po^.1 sessed of two gallous of whisky.-.I Somebody beard be bad it, and west! to him to buy bis whiskey. Adi 1 said, “No; it is agin tbe law for m e | to sell this whiskey; but you have! some shiugles that I want tp finisj| my house; and while I cannot sell the! whiskey, it is not unlawful for me tol let you have the whiskey for the shin-1 gles, and if you will give me the shiiiT gles for tbe whiskey, you may baJ it.” Well, the trade was effected, a Q j| the commodities were exchanged.- Poor Adam was as guiltless as tbj babe unborn of any attempt to evadil the law. The lynx-eyed revenue < cers heard of the transaction. PooJ Adam was prosecuted and convicteil for retailing without a license, hu.1 before be served out his term he ditl| in jail. Mr. Chairman, these facts cam! out on the trial, or rather came I tny knowledge ns tbe counsel the unfortunate defendant. But i short time ago Judge Hill, tbe Fei end district judge, who I believj came from Mississippi to preside my collection district, I am iuforaieil ordered the discharge of two bundrtf men, who, under this revenue systerJ hud been arrested aud brought beforj the court for offenses so couteinptibij iu their littleness that he consider*-) them unworthy tbe attention of I court. De minimus nun curat lex w.l the maxim of this wise judge, acj must be tbe system of oppressu which would produce the Btate facts ou which this judge passed ? The youug fish hutched out last May j vary in length from three to seven I ern people hear so much, inches. When the lakes are drained I knew one ease which came to tny each year nil the eels and catfish are own knowledge, and which would ex- throwu nut, as they devour the young cite the sympathy of the kiud-bearted CIU T' from whatever section. There was in To-day, sir, the State of Georgia j aflame with the homicide of oue of if citizens perpetrated by the reveirJ officials. An old man sixty years age shot down at his norne in oue i lie counties of my district, the coucl of Gwinnett, by four men who uef there to arrest him. It would iimil lestly be improper for me iu advaJ ol tbe judicial investigatiou toexpnf my opinion ns to tbe guilt or ini| ceuce of these parties, but wbat I say is this, that it is tbe iniquiiioi system which inflicts on the people! that country "deep, burning wrotl to stir a fever in the blood ot age, | malTo tbe infant sinews strong ( steel.” ' 'r PAINTS.
