Tiik recent act putting surviving soldiers of the Mexican war on the pension rolls, is marred by one ex ceedingly silly and discreditable fea ture—the exclusion of ex-President Jefferson Davis from its benefits. One such act as this outweighs whole volumes of professions. The stal warts iu Congress had it in their power here to havedotie a graceful act in tbe way of consigning tbe bitter memories of the past to oblivion. The opinion thjtt gold will flow into this country from Europe next month is based not only on the large surplus of our crops for shipment, but also on the expectation that, since trade is iu a more quiet condition, the demand for foeign goods will be less active in 1883 than for the past twelve months, so that imports will fall off. The re cent activity in foreign exchange is ascribed to the fact that Europe has been sending us called bonds for pay ment. UEPORT OK WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTER. To the Honorable Mayor and Council: Your Wavs and Means Committee have carefully examined the books of the Cleark and Treasurer,and find them neatly and simply kept, showing cor rectly and accurately the amounts received puid disbursed. lie lias vouchers for each sum paid out of the Treasury, all of which he has sub mitted to us in proper form. We have also examined his final re port, which lie submits to your body at this meeting. We find it correct, showing the true financial condition of our city. We deem it useless to re capitulate and go over the grounds cov ered by the Treasurers report, it be ing so full that the transactions of the Council are easily .and readily seen from it. We make it an exhibit to our re port, all of which is respectfully sub mitted. * W. T. Jones, T. X. WOOLFOLK, s. R. Weston, Committee. City The Baltimore Sun thus kindly al ludes to the State University at Ath ens: “The State University of Geor gia is reported in a prosperous condi tion. The roll shows 1G5 students iu attendance already, against 145 for the whole of last year. The half advance session in January usually adds 15 to 30 new students. It is hoped this year that the total will go to 200—a gain of 50 over on last year.

To IIis Honor the Mayor and City i Council. Albany, Gar. Your Street Committee Iwg leave to report that the streets of your city are, with few* exceptions, in very good order. They are well drained in every particular, and in all show that cori- sitleri.hle work and money have been expended to make them good and pas sable. We would recommend the im portance of effectively draining Gov- • eminent pond. The present pipe sunk 1 iu the ground proves not sufficient for its diainage. We would recommend that a well be dug to some subterra nean passage and then bricked up to snake it a permanent sewer. We would also recommend the draining of the lime sink by the color ed academy, as this interferes consid erably with draining ihe streets by A. Sterne’s, besides making it dangerous for people and children who are pass ing there, for it eaves mo;c and more every year. We wo.ild also recommend the addi tion of one more mule and cart to the street force, for as the city increases more labor is required, and* with the 1 present force it is barely possible to | give the streets all the aViention they require.

Thronateeska No. 1 has the new LaFranee steamer in charge, which I am happy to state is in good order. They have o00 feet of new and 250 feet of good,serviceable and re liable old fabric hose on their ho6e reel. They are in all thoroughly equipped with spanners, lanterns, etc., and In every way fixed for effectiveness. The company is splendidly officered with T. M. Carter Foreman. Defiance No. 3 lias the old Silsby en gine. The pumps of this steamer have lately been thoroughly repaired, and I am giad to state that for effectiveness and reliability is as good as new. The company has now 500 feet of new Eu reka hese qn their beautiful new hose reel and 250 feet more of old, but good and reliable, Fabric hose in the engine house. This company, although -not completely organized, it having 110 en gineer elected by Council, yet is thor oughly equipped with spanners, lan terns and every appliance that will make them effective. This company also is splendidly officered by T. M. Wool folk as foreman, who is yet acting as Assistant Chief of the Fire Depart ment. Eagle No. 2 has hand engine in charge. The same is in good order, needing a new suction, which I have just ordered for them. They have about 300 feet of serviceable Fabric hose and about 150 feet of rubber hose, tbe lat ter from age is not reliable. I would re commend the purchase of 300 feet of Eureka hose for them. This company cannot be too highly spoken of for promptness .and effectiveness at fires. They work with indomitable energy and perseverance to the credit of them selves and the whole Department. Isaac 'and c and Ladder No. 1 is in charge -— mayor’s report. Albany, Ga., Jan. 1st, 1883. To the Aldermen of the City of Al bany, Ga.: Gentlemen: Under your ordinances the Mayor of your city is required to make an annual report showing the condition of your city financially and otherwise. I11 compliance - with the requirements of said ordinance I beg leave to submit the following report: According to the report of the Sex ton of said city I find that during the year 1882 there were forty deaths 1:1 the city from various causes and diseases, consisting of twenty-one col ored and nineteen white persons, which could not be considered a large per ceutage of deaths. Your streets ami alleys are in good condition, taking into consideration the bad weather during the latter part of said year. I ain sorry to say that j our cemetery fence is not in good order, but hope that it may please your successors to repair or build anew the fence and make other necessary repairs for the protection and beautifying of your cemetery. By reference to the report of your Committee on Fire Department it will unpear that you have expended a large amount during the year for new ma chinery and hose, as well as repairs of your old steamer. You now have two first-class steamers and one hand en gine, with good hose reel for each, and eighteen hundred feet of good fabric hose and new lamps, spanners, etc., and one hook and ladder track, and till its necessary and usual accom paniments in good order. With this libera] expenditure and splendid outfit in the hands of efficient organizations, I see no reason why the property of your feliow-citizens should not lie as secure as it possibly could be made with the number of fire cisterns on your streets. The report of your Treasurer shows your indebtedness to be thirty- nine hundred dollars, none of which is due until the 5th of October next; the balance falling due annually in October 1884, 1885 and 188C, with irterest at the rate of 6 per cent. ]>er annum with the right to pay at any time by giving sixty days notice to holders of said papers. There is now a balance on hand of $649.63,and still due of taxes of 1882 $462.73 for which ainmount the Clerk has issued his fi. fas. most of which will doubtless be collected. For further particulars I refer you io the reports of your Treas urer and Finance Committee._ In jus tice to you, gentlemen, I cannot close this report without makiug mention of the many permanent and valuable im provements made by you during the past two years of your administration. They speak volumes to your energy and perseverance, and will stand as monuments to your names for many generations yet to come, and will be the means yet of building up your beauti ful little city which now occupies such an enviable position among her sister cities. I also congratulate your fellow- citizen, upon being so fortunate as to have possessed your valuable services at such an important period in the history of your eity. Allow me now, gentlemen, to con gratulate you upon the undisturbed courtesies and good feeling that have so universally existed during all your va rious business transactions at all times, laying self interest aside and laboring solely and seperately for the interest of the city confided to you. In taking leave of you, gentlemen, allow me to thank you for your hearty support and co-operation during our business associations. With such sup port there is no such word as fail. I would, also, return yon my heartfelt thanks for the respect and universal courtesies shown me as your presiding officer daring the several years of our business association, and, in reviewing our official transactions, I have but few regrets, while we have just cause for many congratulations. While not pro fessing perfection, yet you have done many things well. Allow me now to bid you an official g^od-night, at the same time hoping to meet you often in the private walks of life, and that yon may labor as honestly and as earnestly for the advancement of your own in terests as you have for the interest of the city; and wishing each of you long and useful lives, I am, gentlemen, truly respectfully your obedient ser- W.

Cincinnati, December 27.—In the * A. IT. district court to-day the suit of Pugh against the telephone company for cutting off' his communication was decided. The court below bad decided that the defendant was justified lieeause Pugh used profane language through the telephone. The district court affirmed the judgment by a majority opinion, two judges,bifiding the proof showed Pugh had used the word “damn,” and that -such language was profane and vttlga *, against which the inventor ami »he public has a right to be protected. The third judge dissent ed, mainly on the ground that proper notice had not been given to Pugh, but said the word “damn” was a violent adjective, not profane by any law. From Congress to a Gambling; Hell. Paducah > t-ws. In yesterday’s Mews vve printed an article relative to gambling in high life iu Washington. It inay not be generally known, but it is nevertheless true, that within ten blocks oi the capitol and almost within the shadow o* the Patent Office, is located one of these gilded places of sin. It is sumptuously furnished, anti none but the richest men of the highest social standing are ever permitted to cross its por tals. No one of the common or vulga herd is ever permitted there. The proprietor and presiding genius of the place is a Kentuckian, and a man with a history. He was at one time a member of the highest legislative body of this State; a lawyer with a large practice, aud for a while the editor of a leading paper in North ern Kentucky; a popular preacher in the Christian church; afterward a member of Congress from a western State; a blood relative of a Presi dent of the United States, and a con nection of a gentleman of this city who occupies a position of some prominence here. Ho is described as an educated and accomplished gentleman, and a man of rare talent, He dislikes his present occupation, and is fully as conscious as anybody else of the disgrace attaching to his calling. But he claims that when he came to Washiugtou from the West ho was enticed into a similar estab lishment and fleeced out of every dollar.he had in the world. He now declares that he will never leave Washington uutil he gets “even.” The “true inwardness” of life in Washington would make a book a great deal larger and 1 vastly* more interesting than Benton's “Thirty Years in the United States Senate.’’ The first telescope was used in England in 1C0S.

Chief Sigual-jOfficer W.^. Hazcn, of Washington; has published a letter criticising the prophecy of E. Stone Wiggins, of Ottawa, Canada, that there will be a great storm in March next, “the like of which has not been seeo since the days of Washington.” Officer Hazcn shows that it is impossible, from any re spectable data,’ to predict a storm that far ahead at any season, and that no storm track has ever been observed which moved in the path indicated by the Canadian would-be prophet. All science aud observa tions fail to see hotv the great stortn will manage first to appear in the “North Pacific,” get down into Ihe “Gulf of Mexico on the 9th,’’ and “being reflected by tiie Bocky Mount; ains, cross the meridian of Ottawa from the West at noon on Sunday March 11th.” In fact the prophecy is shown to be a humbug of some shrewdness, but a fraud and impo sition that cannot be too severely rebuked. W e shonid say that a man who would thus attempt to cast a gloom and terror over half tbe world should speedily be placed either in a lunatic asylnm or a penitentiary. Shaking a Pastor. The Rev. Boland D. Grant is, or was a Baptist clergyman at Pough keepsie. He was very successful, and had a vacation and $100 a month during his absence voluntarily given him. He had been absent abont a month when he received a request to resign. The charges are, driving out one Sunday afternoon with a friend; refusing to attend the sick and persons spiritually inclined; sharply rebuking two men in a street car for smoking cigars; wearing a flannel shirt at a watering place; eating with his knife, and eating from the same Amnana as his wife while they were sealed on a sofa. He made a farewell address, daring which he and the congregation both wept, and many of them shook hands. But they insisted on “shak ing” him, just tho same. Theiunlneklent ITian on tbe Pacific Slope. St. Louis Glota-Democrat. The unluckicst man on the Pacific slope, in point of wealth, is Senator Jones, of Nevada. There has per haps never been so vast a fortune so quickly scattered aa that ot Jones’. In spite of popular belief Senator Jones to-day is poor, comparatively speaking. When he w»s elected to the Senate in 1S73 he was worth at least .$10,000,000. To-day he is not vvorih $50,OCX) above his debts, hud his Congressional salary is no longer despised as a source of income. It would be heard to tell where Jones’ fortune has gone, or more correctly speaking to tell whore it hasn’t gone. No nmn ever sunk so much money in chimerical schemes, invest ed so much in bogus friendships, or became to easy a prey to financial shaiks as Jones. He sunk $2,000,009 hard money in mines at Panamint, Cal., which have never yielded a dollar. He sunk another million in the Sumner mine, in South Califor nia. He built a railroad in South California twelve mile* long that cost enough'to have hatl every tie mahogany and every rail tilver. The Central Pacific afterward bought it for about $1,000 a mile, lie bought every ranch evei offered him ; indeed he bought one in Nevada which has never been located to this day. Jones' agents could never find it. He started an ice factory in New Orlean*. lie tfevci saw the factory, and never but once or twice saw tiie man who got him into it. Ms opened^the St. James Hotel iu New York, and, of course, it never paid. The last cruel iwipe that fate had in store for Jones was the “Sierra Nevada deal,” as Californians all call it, of four years ago. On a mere prospect the stock was jumped from $3 a share to $275. Jones got in at ab »ut $200, on Ihe drop. Tho stock is selling now for less than $5 a share. The Bank of Nevada is believed* to be carrying Jones* stock for him yet. At the time Senator Jones was talked of so strongly for Secretary of the Treas ury, Californians, who remembered how well Jones had taken care of his own money, couid not repress a*smi!e that he should be thought competent to take care of the peo ple’s.
