Benevolent Institutions.—The quib
ble raised by our cotemporary of the Tele
graph. about what was so evidently a typo-
grajdiieal error in our notice of tiie provis
ion that had been made for the support of
the Benevolent Institutions of the State,
i- so far-fetched as to be beneath notice.—
The i*oint of our notice was that “General
Pope has directed Treasurer Jones to dis
burse from the State Treasury, daring the
ensuing year, to the several benevolent in-
-titutkms of the State, amounts equal to
the appropriations made last year by the
Legislature."’ We made the statement up
on the authority of a Superintendant of
the State Institution at Milledgeville. We
presume the statement is true; hope it is.
and we arc sorry the Telegraph refuses to
commend the action of Gen. Pope. That
journal seems disposed to grumble at every
thing. Mr. Sneed is in such an ill humor
that he can accept nothing without fault
finding. lie is the “Mrs. Caudle*’ of the
Georgia press. For the charitable act of
allowing the Provisional Treasurer of the
Provisional Government of Georgia to pay
out precisely the same amount of money
as the Legislature chosen by the people ac
tually did pay out, Gen. Pope is grumbled
at—the last thing anybody in the world
-iiould be censured for. If the taxes paid
by the jteoplc of Georgia cannot be ap
propriated to support the classes of unfor
tunates in our A-ylums legally, we sug
gest it will be equally as illegal to use any
jtortion of the funds that may he collected
to pay State officials. In our opinion, if
< b n. l’opc has issued such an order to Trar-
.-uror Jones, as the one alluded to, he has
performed an act that will return to him
the thanks of every citizen of the State,
except the chronic grumbler of the Tele
graph.
The Dalton Georgian,bf the 15th, says:
“Some of our good, stannch Reconstruction
friends are pressing the claims of Col. J.
R. Parrott for the Presidency of the Con
vention. We are inclined to think that the
appointment would be a good one, as CoL
P. is in possession of superior executive
ability, and is straight out on the Congress
ional Reconstruction plan.
Forney’s Washington Chronicle says
that miners considers the gold regions of
Georgia superior to those of California.
A fire—which was caused by the igni
tion of a match, as seed cotton was passing
through a gin in the extensive steam mills
of Thomas & Livingston, situated near the
railroad depot in Madson—resulted in the
complete destruction of the mills. The
property was partially insured. A large
amount of cotton belongin'?to farmers in
the vicinity was burnt. The boiler ex
ploded during the progress of the fire, with
a terrible concussion, but injuring no per
son.
The total loss by the fire at Fort Valley
is estimated at $48,000. on which there was
an insurance of §13,700.
Rumors!—A rumor is in circulation that
it has l»een decided to remove many offi
cials in the State, from Governor down,
and it is also stated that certain gentlemen
have certainly been selected to fill certain
positions. All this, report has it is to oc
cur on or before the meeting of the State
Convention.
It is all humbug! From the moderation
which has characterized the actions of the
Military authorities in this District, thus
far, we judge there will be no “proscrip
tion for opinion's sake.*’ It is true that an
army of provisional civil officials, work
ing, in accord with the delegates elect to
the State Convention, would greatly con
tribute to advance the cause of Recon
struction. This many have expected. Rut
thus far the commanding General has re
fused to displace officers, except for cause
-how n. of malfeasance or outrageous con
duct in office. We cannot see why he has
determined to change the rule, therefore
do not believe it has been so determined.
The whole story is a device to create pre
judice. we believe. Heretofore the decapi
tation of a head lias been made known to
the party first; so, we opine, it will he
hcrcaiicr.
Thr Coxvextion ix Georgia.—The Con
vention for the State of Georgia, will,
doubtless, be soon convened. From an ex
amination of the list of delegates, which
we publish in this paper, it will be seen
that there are thirty-three white delegates
elected to the convention. We have some
reason to hope, from the names of gentle
men whom we recognlz.e in the list, and
who wield a great influence in legislative
bodies, that the deliberation of the Con
vention will he tempered by moderation
and reason. If the Constitution, to be
adopted for Georgia, not too egregi-
j ously obnoxious to our people, we doubt
• not its ratification by the people. But an
enlightened judgment would dictate that
an expression or opinion should be with-
! held until the work is done. If at all ac
ceptable let the people ratify it, but if too
oppressive and burdensome, then 1 t the
people—the voters—of Georgia, set too
their solemn protest, but not go before un
to condemnation. What we want most is
the restoration of Georgia to her wonted
place in the galaxy of States, upon an hon
orable and equitable basis. Not a Union
cemented by bayonets, but of hearts and
hands. The South can promise herself
nothing until this restoration and union is
effected. She is now suffering in all her
interests, both public and private, on ac
count of her disintegration. Once again
restored in the Union upon, at least, re
spectable terms, peace and prosperity w ill
again flow to her borders, which will oil
the wheels of progression and stimulate
the energies of the people. When the Con
vention convenes, we hope that reason will
rule the hour—not passion, prejudice, nor
spirit of revenge. Let us be patient and
hopeful, determined to do what is right,
nothing more, nothing less. Let us avoid
extreme men and measures, and act in re
ference to the future welfare of our coun
try. people, and government. Let crimi
nation and recrimination cease, and if the
terms dictated be such as we can accept,
let us accept them, if too intolerably ob
noxious, reject them and submit to the
consequences.
We commend the foregoing, from the
Cartersville Express, to such of the oppo
sition as are capable of reflecting. The
Express has opposed Reconstruction under
the constitutional plan, yet we can com
mend the above sentiment to many of its
tire-eating associates.

Thk To.mi-s ok Union Soldiers.—It
w ill U- remembered that Congress, by an
aet ,1.1—ed on the 22d of February, 1867,
appropriated seven hundred and fifty
thou-aud dollars for enclosing the various
National Cemeteries w ith fencing, and for
placing over each grave a commemorative
tablet. A commission was also designated
for carrying the act into effect, at the head
of which w as placed General Grant. The
Washington Intelligencer understands that
this l*o;tnl has had the matter under recent
consideration, and have nearly completed
the necessary arrangements. It lias been
assertained that three hundred and thirty
thousand tablets will lie required—a fear
ful account of the destruction of human
life in the late rebellion.

tir A Boston paper says: The love of
neatness may be carried to excess, espe
cially when it makes one forget courtesy
for cleanliness. This was especially the
case with Colonel 8 . when dining with
his friend Holmes. No sooner was he
seated at the table than, not liking the ap
pearance of his glass, lie began polishing
it with his napkin. His host noticed the
action, and said uneasily to the waiter,
*• Change the Colonel’s glass.” Another
glass was brought, whereupon the Colonel
picked up his napkin and recommenced his
cleaning process. “How dare you bring
dirty glasses! '* cried Holmes, angrily.—
“Take it away and bring another.” A
third glass was set betore the Colonel, who
cooly set to work as before. Holmes, too
furious to speak, motioned to the servant,
who once more changed glasses. This time
the Colonel lost patience, and, turning an
grily round, exclaimed: “ Do you want me
to wipe all the glasses in the house ? ” The
harmonious conclusion of the dinner way
be imagined.
Tbe most stupendous tunnel enter
prise has lately been accomplished at the
silver mines in the German Hartz Moun
tains. The mines were over 3,000 feet deep,
and the scarcity of fuel prevented the use
oi steam for pumping, which was done by
water wheels, aided By tunnel drains. But
the great depth reached in 1859 precluded
further progress in that manner, and a tun
nel was commenced for deep draining,
which is but now finished. It is twenty-
two miles long; two million cubic yards
ut solid rock were excavated, ten thousand
pounds of powder used, and the linear ex
tent of blasting holes drilled is 180 miles.
Naturally, on the successful completion of
this collossal work, the thirty thousand
miners whose livelihood is now assured
for twenty years, celebrated the event with
grand rejoicings. The mines can now be
worked until 1887 without steam, and they
have been operated since the year 920 in
continuous, prolitable production.

or something worse, between Senator anil
Mrs. Sumner, which is no .v set at rest by
the authoritative announcement that they
will occupy their magnificent mansion on
Lafayette Square during the coming ses
sion of Congress, and keep open house as
usual. It was stated in the Boston corres
pondence of a rebel paper, printed in New
York, that Mrs. Sumner went abroad alone,
but the truth of the matter is she was ac
companied by her brother, and her absence
was prolonged until her husband finished
his lecturing tour through the West. He
has telegraphed that he will be in Boston
to-morrow, and it is expected that his wife
will meet him there. While in Paris she
was continually in the company of her
sister, and sailed for New York on the
same vessel with her.”

David Wynn, executor of Thomas H.
Wynn, deceased, vs. J. H. Webb—In
Equity. In this case Webb held two
promissory notes made by Thomas H.
Wynn, of Chattooga couDty, Georgia, in
his lifetime, for some one thousand dol
lars each, which fell due after the death of
Wynn. In 1863 the executor notified
Webb, who resided in the State of Louisi
ana, that he was prepared to pay said notes,
and requested him to come and get his
money. Webb replied by letter that,
owing to the position of the Federal army,
he could not come to Georgia to receive
his money, and instructed him to invest
the money in eight per cent. Confederate
bonds, and hobf them until he came to
Georgia. Tbe executor avers that he did
invest the money iu Confederate bonds, in
accordance with*the instructions of Webb,
and that he did not see Webb until some
time in 1866, when he tendered tiie bonds
and demanded the notes of the testator, but
Webb refused to accept the bonds or to
deliver to him the notes. And therefore
he prays the Court to issue an injunction
to prevent Webb from prosecuting his suit
at law to recover the amount of said notes.
The application for an injunction was
resisteeu by the counsel for Webb, on the
ground that no equity is disclosed in the
bill, and that the plaintiff has an adequate
remedy at law.
After tearing the arguments of eonnsel,
the Court refused to grant the injunction,
holding, if the allegations in the Bill are
true, tiie complainant has an adequate

Revenue Claims Against Bankkupts.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has rendered the following decision in ref
erence to claims against bankrupts:
Where the United States is creditor of a
bankrupt for taxes, tiie claim may be en
forced in two ways. First, by lien against
the property, where such lien is attached
before the party has been adjudged a bank
rupt. In that case it is propor for
the Collector to demand, under the au
thority of a warrant of distraint, posses
sion of the property of the bankrupt to
which such lien is attached for the purpose
of satisfying the warrant and all lawful
charges thereon. Should the Marshal refuse
to deliver, the collector shall then submit a
motion to the court having jurisdiction of
the ease of bankruptcy for an order to the
marshal to make the delivery demanded.
If the court refuses to make such an order,
but will direct that the claim of the Uni
ted States be placed at the head of tiie list
of claims, to be paid before even cost in
bankruptcy, then the collector may accept
that otdor. or be may accept any ocher or
ders which tbe court may make, which
will secure the collection of the whole tax
anu costs, as far as practicable, in any law
ful way as satisfactory to the Government.
Otherwise, proper measure must be taken
for a revision of the action of the Court of
Bankruptcy.
The Albany News makes a sugges
tion that is worthy of consideration, not
only in Albany, but in other Southern
cities. It is that the city authorities buy a
number of Mendenhall's Looms and set
the women who have to receive public
support to weaving cloth upon them—the
proceeds of their work to be applied to the
support of disabled paupers.
Ever since the close of the war we have
urged the establishment of cotton facto
ries as a means of giving employment to
women and children left destitute by the
casualties and revulsions of that great
struggle. But few have as yet been put in
operation, though we believe that the
great advantages, if not the necessity, of
such institutions are generally acknowl
edged. Perhaps the factories cannot be
obtained just yet. because of the poverty
of the country. The hand-loom proposi
tion of our co-lal>orer of tiie News may
be more practicable, and may subserve the
same end on a smaller scale. We trust that
it will receive thoughtful consideration
and examination.— Columbus Enquirer.
E^" Late intelligence has been received
at St. John’s, Newfoundland, from Captain
Hall, who is searching the Artie regions
for traces of Sir John Franklin's expedi
tion. He had determined upon proscuting
his enterprise the coming winter, and made
every arrangement for the purpose, depos
iting supplies at easy stages along the pro
posed route. From some hostile Esque-
maux he learned that, at about the time of
the loss of Sir John Franklin’s vessel, some
white men carried a dead body on shore
and built a brick vault, which they care-,
fully cemented.and in which they deposited
the corpse, afterward cover 5 ng* the vault
with heavy stone flags. This body Mr.
Hall believes to lie the remains of Sir John,
and his intention is to visit tbe locality and
satisfy himself upon the point, if possible.
He has secured many valuable articles for
