GEORGIA WEEKLY OPINION. THE WEEKLY OPINION. BY W. l,rSCBD00a ABD J. B. DOMBI.B. ■WEDNESDAY MORNING;::: KOV. 13. yuaaan ott m* If. A W. IUilroad.- We are gratified to learn that ftelghU on the Macon and IVeatern Railroad hai in creased to aome extent. A large amount of cotton having been raised on the line of this road, and all of It leeltlng a distant markctlnatnrally Increases, to aome extent, the business of the road. Qrlffln alone ships from six to eight car loads of cotton per week, while Forsyth, Barnesvillc, and other depots and stations ftill but little be low these figures. Cottox.—Notwithstanding the runners have fallal to realise as high i prlco for their cotton as they lmd anticipated, every day's transactions demonstrates the fact that the cotton crop lias thrown no Incon elderable sum of money Into the hands of the people, and that It is gradually exert ing a beneficial Influence In every depart ment of business. With a sufficiency of hreadstuffs of home production, and an av erage cotton crop, even at present prices, there Is but little room for groaning and growling over “hard times.” Our people should he more cheerful, ever remember ing that our lives—whether happy or mis erable, are Just what wo make thorn; and that we should not make too great haste In attempting to regain lost fortunes. let us bo patient—for na Old Time drags his days, and weeks, and months, and years along, his Impress will certainly be visible on our every brow, without worrying ourselves to death anticipating “hard times” not yet realised. IIay.—We noticed on our streets yester day a wagon load of excellent fresh hay, which, on enquiry, we learned was raised and cured but a few miles from Atlanta.— We learn that it rcadilv commands one dollar per hundred. Those of our farmers who have not engaged In this Important part of agriculture, should not let another year pass without raising, mowing and curing a sufficient supply for home con sumption, and at least a ton or two for mar ket. lly this means the city consumers who are non-producers, would be supplied with bay without having to ship It from the Western States. It Is one of the best for ages our farmers can produce for their stock and costs less labor and a smaller outlay to procure It than any other product of the farm; and then It always commands remunerative prices when thrown upon •the market. Trot Wkathxiu—Yestcreay was the cold, est day of the season. Ice was to ho seen in many places, and a brisk, cold north wind blew all day long. Heavy shawls and^overcoats were in demand, and persons who were not the possessors of those In dispensable articles, had to keep In doors, lost night a bleak wind swept, hurricane like, everything before It, driving every, body Into their quarters. Not even i nymph of the pave, who In ordinary weather, perambulate the streets from ojewy eve till early mom," are report ed as liaving been seen prowling around. Wakxxd in Timx!—The opponents of Reconstruction In Georgia, as well as In several other Southern States, do not hesi tate to develop the tactics they intend to pursue, in order to defeat the Congression al plan for restoring the State to the Unlon. My registering and then refusing to vote, they hoped a majority of the registered Voters could bu kept away from the [Mill.. This stubborn policy, had it succeeded, would have served the purpose of the agi tators. But It was defeated; wo are to have a (’onvention. and a new Constitution presented to the people. Upon the ques tion of ratification the great struggle is to occur! Already we have noticed numerous calls for organization of the opposition for the purjiose of voting down the Constitution that may be presented. The game Is to he aliened up at once. The forces to be mar shalled. The action of the Convention— which cannot possibly meet under thirty days—has been condemned In advance. It is to tie opposed—the thousands who re fused to vote at the late election, leading In that opposition 1 Forewarned, we should be forearmed! We cannot shut our eyes to the fact n bit ter battle at the [lolls—If nowhere else—la before us. Therefore the party organiza tion that has the tjtate thus far In the work of Reconstruction should be kept up. The hour when we can have a rest from work has not yet come. If-t: would be true to our Interests, to the present welfare of our good old State, and to tho nation, wo can not he idle. Let us keep at work! Ski.ua and Roux Rait.hoad.—Tho Cou. rler says: “It Is gratifying to see evi dences of vigorous prosecution In tbit Im portant work. The parties who have ta ken the contract to rebuild the bridge over tho Ktowali are now here. We are Inform ed that they have made contracts with Mr. Samuel Noble to furnish the lumber, and with Nobles & McCullough fbr tho Iron work. They hope to have the bridge com pleted In two months. The Assistant Secretary of tho Interior has decided, relative to the provisions of the Act of June «, 18*0, which gives a pen- elon to the dependent fathers of soldiers and tailors who have died of dlteaio Incurred, «r wounds or Injuries received In the line of duty In tho service of tho United States' that when the mother survives the soldier, the father cannot, under the law, claim the pension. Tub GzonoiA Et.zcriox—Radical Intimi dation. and Ihrealt—l’ope fa the Hollo/ a rollttcian.—Dai.tox November a.—Extra ordinary efforts are being made to carry tho Convention and secure negro suprema cy. Threats of personal violence are used to make the conservative negroes vote tlm Radical ticket Tho time for holding the election has been extended. Livery stables are taken by Pope's orders and the horses used to bring In negro voters. Uncle Sam uel pays all the expenses, of course.—Spe cial dttpatch to the If. Y. World. A greater bundle of mendacious state ments wss never made up. It Is untrue In three particulars, to wit: That ** extraor dinary” efforts wore made to “secure ne gro suffrage." Union men did labor to secure a convention, because through such a body only could they hope to get back, Into the Government. The Idea that “ Livery sta bles were taken by (Gen.) Pope's orders,” Ae^ &c,, is too ridiculous. Tho author of the printed dispatch—(wo doubt whether It was got up at Dalton—perhaps the World concocted It)—knew he was lying when he Indited it. Tile truth Is, such a dispatch was,needed by the New York Democracy, just ui»n the eve of the election, and the World got it, or made it. In time. Wo suggest to this rcl-mouthed pnlidcrcr to Dlsnnlonlsm, that, Judging from Its own reports of the election scenes we Infer there was more fighting and bloodshed In a tingle Ward In New York city, during the late election, lasting a single day, than there was In tho State of Georgia during the whole live days. We wish this made a note of, as It demonstrates not only that our military men acted with moderation, but that the people aUo acted wisely. The voice of the .States cannot be misunder stood ! Distribution or Southern Reukk Fund.—The distribution of (finds under the law of Congress for the relief ot the South, was, in round numbers, ns follows: Virginia. *12.(150; North Carolina, $32.500( Soqtli Carolina. *140.71)0; Georgia. *125.100; Alabama.,86.860; Florida, *1,000; Missis sippi. *33,000; Louisiana, *21.100; Tennes see. *1,000; and Arkansas. *12,000; making total of about 411,650. At tho last re ports small portions of this money were yet on hand, but It Is lielleved that every dollar of It will be required to settle the outstanding bills. The various report* lend to the conclusion that between seventy-live and eighty thousand different person* were relieved, some of whom wore supported for weeks, and others probably for months. More than half of these persons were white. The supplies ffirnlshed were mainly corn and pork. The returns mado to the bureau with a moderate estimate for the few districts not yet In, glvo an aggregate of about 856,600 pound* of pork, nnd 126.' 000 bushels of corn. For the correctness of the foregoing tig, urea we rely upon our cotcmporary, the Savannah News and Herald—not having had access to the official report. state Items. The Savannah News, of the 11th Inst, says: “The following named gentlemen (those of whom foil under the exceptions of t lie President's proclamation of May 2tnh, 1207, having produced their pardons and tiled their acceptance of the same) were admitted to practice In the United State* Court at this fernt, up to this date, November 11th, 18B7: William T. Gould, W. E. Smith, Clinton Duncan, Ebcnezer Btnrns, Clifford Anderson. Richard Sim*. Richard Whttely, Eugcnlus A. Nesblt James T. Nesblt. The Republican alludes to a rumor cur rent In Savannah of tho 11th, by saying:, “A report was current late last night, which came from a person In the “ring,” that In a week or ten days at farthest, there would be a change In the City Government of Savannah. A prominent official, who Is generally respected by nil citizens. Is mentioned as the propablc successor of Mayor Anderson. Wc trust, however, that as no charges of inalfcasauce in office or dereliction of duty haa been made or sus tained against the present City Govern ment, that our city may escape the perils and difficulties that must necessarily fol low a change. It is a source of satisfac tion to know that the rumored new lneurfl; United States Circuit Court,- 1 Havannao, Nov, 11,1867. I The undersigned Committee of the Bar of the Filth Circuit of tho United States for the Southern District of Georgia, now In session at Savannah, have considered the melancbolly duty assigned thcm, of brlng- lugln a. tribute to tho memory of the late Judge Wayne, for many year* presiding Judge of this Court, and present the follow lug report: James JJoqre Wayne was a native of Sa vannah, and at the time of his decease was nearly. If not quite, eighty years of age; but ol the precise time of his Girth we have no ancurate Information, lie was the son of Richard Wayne, a highly respected cit izen of Savannah, and by the advantages ot birth and uffinlty, enjoyed the benefits which refined culture, respectability and wealth bestow. After his graduation, in 1808. at the Col lege of New Jersey, huvliig chosen the law as Ids profession, he uttuuded lectures at the Litchfield Law School, and was after ward* admitted to practice in the Courts of Georgia. The exact date of Ills admission to the liar, we have not ascertained; prob ably in the year 1210. and about the time Judge Merricu presided over tlm Supreme Court of the Eastern District. In May. idl'd, be was admitted to practice In tbo United States Circuit Court at Savaimub. The bench and bar of this part of Georgia were graced by such men as Berrien, Har ris.

This office he ...... . ! continued to hold until November, 1822, The Internal Revenue System.—Tho Washington Star says that the special Com missioner of Internal Revenue, lion. David D. Wells, will present to Congress at the December session another of his Interesting and valuable reports on tho Internal Rev enue system of the United States as com pared with those of Europe. It will show, doubtless, that he Is of the opinion that immediate and radical reform is needed in tho country before the Government can successfully collect the revenue. The temptation to fraud In portions of our sys tem Is so great that nearly all of the reve nue from certain sources Is lost, while the effect of this wholesale swindling on pub lic morals and the principles of free gov ernment cannot be too seriously considered. Revenue officers in Great Britain have nothing to do with politics, but arc ap pointed for their ability and integrity, and coutlnue In office during good behavior. The result Is that the royal revenue Is folly collected, and the frauds. If any, aro fast ened on the tax-payer. The simplUlcation of our system in tho number of articles taxed will probably be urged, and the rad ical Innovation of placing the tax on the product in its raw instead of manufactured state, like cotton, for instance, be exposed to the country, and its injurious effect on the Industrial interests clearly established. Base Bai.lkrs.—In Indiana, on the first of this month, there was a wood sawing between four noted base ball dubs, of nine members each, fora wager, each club to saw nine cords of wood. This mode of de veloping the muscle wo think decidedly superior to playing bnll, while at the tame tlmo It la highly usefol. The Constitution alist commends the example of the IIoo- alers to tho Georgia cracker base ballists of this latitude, who might improve on the hint by getting up matches for plowing, corn husking, fodder pulling, Ac, GT The Rome Courier makes the amende honorable as to Its charge that Gen. Pope or any of tho officials have refused to make public tho official results of the recent election,nnd says: M Our information to the contrary came from Intimations given out by exchanges.” Wo can assure the Courier that all of Ita exchanges that had energy enough to go to the Registration Office, could have had the returns, as did the Opinion. We wero able to publish them because we asked for them. iSTlt Is announced that Gen. McClellan, who is residing temporarily In Paris, will not return to this country until next spring. The General will then resume his former business as an engineer. Ho tells his friends that he desires a return to the ac tive duties of life; that he ts still a young man. and feels that he may have a future before him outside the pale of politics. a Masonic High School. The plan pro posed is to sell a number of scholarship*, not exceeding 500, at $25 each, redeemable within ten years. In other words, a Mason or any one else cun send their child to school for $25 a year. It will Iw altogether for boys. We will notice next week more particularly the full object. * The Columbus Enquirer, of the 12th. no tices the departure of a crowd of emigrants from that city for Liberia. “They were collected by the beating of a drum, and ap peared to bo alxnit two hundred in num ber. We understand that many more want to go. but have to wait fur tho next vessel. State Items.—The members of Benevo lent Lodge. No. 3. P. A.

The Annual Session of the Met Heal Board of Georgia will meet in Milledge- vllle, on the first Monday In December next. Mr*. W. J. Houghton, wife of ft. N. Boughtnii. (editor of the Federal Union.) died at Milfedgevillu on the 8th Inst. The Savannah Republican lias informa tion to the cll'cct that on Monday last n de structive tire occurred at Jeffersonluti, on the HuiiUa river, Cauiden county, by which all the store* In the place were burned. The tire originated In the store of Biirn- baum A Iluring. It first commenced in the back part, and quickly spread all over the building, notwithstanding every etlbrt was made to stay its course. Tho flume* rapidly pursued their course, and very soon several stores and a dwelling house were reduced to ashes. But little of the stock was saved. The stores contained the usual country variety of goods, dry goods, groceries, etc. Labor Like in Alabama.—In order to j host of others of Georgia’s worthies; and secure to agricultural laborers In Alabama l * ,e nm, 0' exnltrd position* which he filled, commanded the respect of payment for the labor of this year, Gen.

Ill 1834, he was re-elected, on the Union ticket, In a higher vote than that given to any other candidate. A* all evi dence of his great popularity, it may Ik* mentioned that he was elected in 1832, over William II.

William Johnson, deceased, ami oil the 14th of that month took his seat ou the bench of that augii.-t tribunal. On the report* ol’ that Court his fame a* a lawyer must rest. Hi* career as a Judge in Georgia ami at Wash ington City was marked by learning, Inde pendence, impartiality, mid patience. He drew his Lotions of justice not from intri cate and often unmeaning technicality, but from those well-ordered principles of right and morality which lie at the foundation of law as a useful science. Ills published decisions show* not only mental vigor and legal lore, hut a high degree of scholastic attainment. In conversation, he was always entertaining and instructive.

It was not only in law and politics that Judge Wayne's talent* and usefulness rose conspicuous. In everything pertaining to the welfare of tho country, and especially of his native section, the Influence of his labors and example were frit. He was the friend and patron of learning, the steady and earnest advocate for the development of the resources of Georgia. For many year* he was one of the trustees of tho university of Georgia; snd for a consid erable time presided over the Georgia His torical Society. He wus a warm supporter of Intrmnl Improvement, and In 1836. rep resented Chatham county in tho Knoxville Convention, the object ot wliloh wus to unite the Atlantic seaboard with the fertile volley* of tho West. Jnilgc Wayne was tiie model of an ele- S ant, cultivated and Courtly gentleman, of ne person and handsome lace. It was still easy to ten that his known goodueatof heart lent a charm to Ills fascinating and polished nddrrs-. Whilst he was highly genial and companionable, lit* unaffected dignity commanded the greatest respect. His association with tiie members ol tiie most pleasant intercourse, ami Ills kind ness to the younger practitioners was pro verbial. For several years before Ills death Judge Wayne had resided principally at Wash ington City, tn the discharge of Ids labori ous official duties. His illness was not long, and Its fatal termination was evi dently hastened by tiie enfeebling powerof time. His mental vigor was retained to the last.
