Attractions of Georgia.
A stranger passing the Agricultural
and Geological Bureau offices, this morn
iDg, remarked : “Here are the attractions
of Georgia.” Well, yes, here are some
of them. Any one looking up a home
will find much to please him in Georgia.
,Here he can plant most advantageously
the civic virtues and the domestic institu
tions from which agricultural life bor
rows so many of its most attractive
charms. Here is a climate most favor
able to persevering industry —the latitude
which proves itself the genial homo of a
high and vigorous manhood —a soil fit
ted to every species of agricultural pro
ductions.
Jinks' Boy.
Last night, says the Courier-Journal,
Jinks gave a boy an old pistol and a sum
mer coat to tie a billy goat to the door
bell of the residence of his mo'her-in-law.
The boy “persuaded” ten feet of rope and
that goat up to the front door, tied one
end of the rope to the bell-pull, gave it a
jerk and then “lit out.” The bell rung at
a fearful rate, and the goat was wrest
ling that door-bell and rope in a frightful
way trying to get loose. Presently the
front door opened, a form looking like
the ghost of Hamlet holding a candle in
its hand, stood there. The goat took a
running jump, head on, for the figure,
and struck it so hard that the form and
goat went clear inßide the hall after a
lighted candle and a pair of specs that
started about the same time for the back
room. The fight between Jinks’ mother
in-law and that goat was terrible, but of
short duration. He got his horns fast in
her bustle, pulled the old woman out in
the front yard and was backing out of the
gate with her, when a policeman cut the
goat loose. The goat stood upon his
head, and the old lady crawled into the
house.

COLUMBUS, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 17, 1877.
CONGRESSIONAL
SENATE.
Washington, Jan. 10.— In the Sen
ate, the bill reported from the Judi
oiary Committee last session, to
amend the Paclflo Railroad acts,
which was made a special order for
to-day, was postponed until next
Tuesday at 1 o’clock, on account of
the absence of Mr. Hitchoock.
Mr. Patterson, of South Carolina,
presented a petition of D. H. Cham
berlain, H. R. Greaves, F.Jj. Cardo
zo and others, of South Carolina, set
ting forth that many of the state
ments in the petition of Wade Hamp
ton and others, recently presented in
the Senate, are untrue; others are
calculated to mislead the Senate,
and important facts are omitted. The
petitioners then review at great
length the condition of affairs in
South Carolina, and claim that they
were legally elected to their various
offices. It was ordered that the pe
tition be printed in the Record.
Mr.-Patterson, of South Carolina,
in presenting the petition of Cham
berlain and others, said that he
would not ask to have it read, but
would move that it be printed in the
Record.
Mr. Alcorn,of Mississippi, objectod
to anything being printed in the
Record without being read to the
Senate.
The reading was then commenced.
Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, interrupting
the reading said, ho would suggest
that the paper be printed in the
Record without taking up time to
have it read.
Mr. Alcorn agaiji objected, and
said he had no idea there was any
thing improper in the memorial, but
it should be first read in the Senate.
Mr. Sherman said when a Senator
produced a petition he became the
guarantee that it was proper, and foi
that reason need not be read.
Mr. Alcorn having declined to
withdraw his objection, the reading
was resumed.
The petition asks Congress to ac
cept from them a full und fair state
ment of affairs in South Carolina;
declares they stand ready to make
good their statement when required
to do so. They charge violence and
intimidation of Republican voters at
the State election; review at great
length the action of the Returning
Board and Supreme Court, and claim
that they were lawfully elected to
their respective offices.
The reading of the petition was
continued until 12:45 p. m., when Mr.
Alcorn withdrew his objection.
Mr. Davis, of West Virginia, said
unlesss the Senator presenting
the petition would state that he
had received it, and that it was a
proper document, he would renew
the objection.
Mr. Patterson, of South Carolina,
said to be frank, he had not read it,
as he only received it this morning,
but he knew Gov. Chamberlain to be
an honorable man, and ho would not
put anything in a petition which was
not true; he had no doubt it was a
proper and respectful document.
No further objections to having it
printed without being read was made,
and was ordered that the petition be
printed in the Record.
Mr. Patterson, of South Carolina,
submitted a resolution declaring that
the State government now existing
in South Carolina, and represented
by D. H. Chambertain, is the lawful
government of said State; that it was
Republican in form, and every assist
ance should be given to it by the
United States, to the end that the
laws may be faithfully executed.
Referred to Committee on Privileges
and Elections.
Mr. Withers, of Virginia, in ac
cordance with previous notice, called
up the message of the President in
regard to the occupation of Peters
burg, Va., by the military on No
vember 7th, the day of the general
election, and submitted the follow
ing resolution for immediate consid
eration: Resolved, that Committee
on the Judiciary be instructed to
examine whether the construction of
the laws touching the elective fran
chise, promulgated by the Attorney
General in General Orders No. 96, of
date Sept. 7th, 1876, be correct, and
that they report by bill or otherwise.
After strong speeches from Sena
tors Withers and Johnston, in which
they denounced the occupation of
Petersburg, Va., by troops during
the late election, the resolution
passed.
Adjourned.
noiir,.
The Judiciary Committee reported
a resolution for the arrest of mem
bers of the Louisiana returning board
and bringing them before the bar of
the House to answer for contempt in
refusing to produce the original re
turns before the New Orleans Inves
tigating Committee.
A somewhat excited debate took
place, in which the crowds in the
galleries participated in the way of
frequent applause and cheering of
the Democratic speakers. This
breach of decorum was made the sub
ject of grave complaint on the Re
publican side, and condemned by the
speakers.
No vote was reaobed before ad

The bill for commissioners on the
silver question was defeated.
LOUISIANA.
THE SITUATION UNCHANGED.
(HUNT'S dispatch needs explanation
Washington, January IG. -It is un
derstood here that the President’s
order of Sunday to Gen. Auger was
simply intended to'keep matters in
Now Orleaus in statu quo. It began
to be apprehended that if affairs
were allowed to drift, thero would be
nothing of the Packard government
left to support should the ultiwate
decision be in his favor. It is stated
the Packard authorities havo been
advised to act with great caution.
New Orleans, Jan. 15.—Gov. Pack
ard to-day made an ineffectual re
quisition upon Gen. Auger for assis
tance to reinstate tho Supremo Court
in the building from which they had
been dispossessed. It is supposed
Gen. Auger has referred tho matter
to the authorities at Washington, for
instructions.
New Orleans, Jan. 15,1:30 a, m.—
There is no change in the political
situation last evening. The Demo
crats have recovered from the de
pression caused by the President’s
telegram to Gen. Auger, and are
again hopeful, while tho Republicans
maintain the telegram foreshadows
an early recognition of their govern
ment.
New Orleans, 2 p. m. Jan. 16.
Sheriff Handy refuses to recognize
the writ of habeas corpus issued by
Judge Shaw for assistant Sergeant
at-arms of the Republican Senate
who are in prison here.
In the Democratic House to-day, a
joint resolution was unanimously
adopted, to the effeot that the policy
of kindness, fair and equitable treat
ment towards the colored people of
tho State, as announced by Gov.
Nicholls in his Baton Rouge speech
and in a letter to Mr. Piuchback on
the 12th inst,., is endorsed and will be
strictly adhered to by the Legisla
ture.
Nnw Orleans, Jan. IG.— Gov. Pack
ard has not received any reply to his
requisition upon Gen. Auger for the
restoration of the court-house.
The city is remarkably quiet. Nt>

THE EASTERN QUESTION.
THE ULTIMATUM OF THE POWF.KN
Turkey to Reply on Thursday.
London, Jan. 16.— Reuter’s Constan
tinople dispatch says the Marquis of
Salisbury, at the conference yester
day, in the name of Europe, commu
nicated to the representatives of the
Porte the last proposals of the pow
ers, saying if the Porte rejected them
he was instructed to withdraw from
Constantinople. All the other plen
ipotentiaries followed to the same
effect.
Safet Pacha replied that he
thought it impossible for the Porte
to yield. The Porte, however, would
txamine the proposals and reply
definitely at Thursday’s nleeting.
Meanwhile the grand council of one
hundred and eighty will meet to de
cide upon the answer.
THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE*. I
WORK STILL DRAGGING.
Washington, D. C., Jan. IG.—The
Judiciary Commitoe of the House has
agreed that the answer of the Louis
iana Returning Board before Morri
son’s committee at Now Orleans is
insufficient, and tho members be
brought to the bar of tho House to
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt.
Tho Committeo on Privileges and
Powers of the Houso summoned Gov,
Packard of Louisiana. J. A. Brewer,
Superintendent Western Union Tel
egraph Company, headquarters at
Augusta, Ga., is here in obedience to
a summons from the same commit
tee.
Gov. McCormick, Secretary Na
tional Republican Committee, sub
mitted a mass of dispatches to-day.
A document showing that the
Mackey Legislature of South Caro
lina had no legal existence was
placed on the desks of Senators and
Representatives this morning, and
attracts much attention.
Pelton, Secretary of tho National
Democrratic Committee, testified
before the Privileges and Elections
Committee that SB,OOO was sent to
Oregon for legal purposes. He knew
of no money sent to Oregon or else
where for illegitimate purposes. The
National Democratic Committee bore
part of tho expense of men aent to
the Southern States to witness the
count.
The Texas Pacific Railroad bill will
be reported in tho Houso and be
made a special order for an early
day. It3 friends are sanguine.
Washington, Jan. 16.—Wm. Orton,
president Western Union Telegraph
Company, has been subpoenaed as a
member of the executive committee,
through an omnibus subpoena for all
the members thereof, to appear be
fore the Committee of Privileges and
Elections of the Senate.
A full Cabinet to-day.
No instructions have been Bent to
New Orleans since Sunday, and none
were ordered by the Cabinet. The
details of the meeting, however, have
not yet transpired.
The joint committee on the Electo
ral Count had two sessions to-day.
The Committee on Privileges and
Elections examined G. A. Wilson,
District Attorney for Yazoo and
other Mississippi counties. He had
no knowledge of unfairness or intim
idation before or at the election.
The Joint Committee on counting
tho Electoral vote, had two long ses
sions to-day, and notwithstanding
their determination to act definitely
to-day, made such progress toward
an agreement, as to consent to an
other meeting to-morrow, which will
certainly be the last.
Detailsofthe situation are abso
lutely inaccessible. An amendment
is quite probable.
Menacing Preparations.
The White House and all the de
partments at Washington are con
nected by telegraph with the Senate
and the House of Representatives
separate, with a view to facilitate the
transaction of public business.
We now learn that, within the
last few days, a now lino of military
telegraph has been laid, connecting
the War Department specially with
the Capitol. This line may be re
garded as the extension of another,
recently established between the
War Office and the Arsenal, where
the troops and the munitions of war
lately ordered there are stationed.
Congress is legislating peaceably.
Committees of the two Houses are
striving to reach a satisfactory mode
of counting the votes for President.
There is no excitement in Washing
ton, and no probability of any dis
turbance in that community of office
holders, claim agents, contractors,
lobbyists, and professional jobbers.
Only two or three inflammatory
speeches have been made in either
House, and they have been condemn
ed by both Democrats and Republi
cans.
While this is the condition offsets,
a large force of artillery has been
concentrated at Washington during
the past month, and It is known pos
itively that other troops are to be or
dered there within the next few
weeks. When resolutions of inquiry
are offered in the House to ascertain
the reasons for the unusual presence
of part of the army and fortnese mil
itary preparations in the midst of
quiet,.Mr. Garfield or some other
agent of Grant jumps to his feet with
an objection, and as two-thirds then
becomes necessary to carry the res
olution, it is laid over.
Now, it is useless to disguise the
meaning of these various move
ments, which have been chiefly di
rected by Don Cameron. They form
a part of the conspiracy to make
Hayes President, by force sustaining
fraud. The paoitio assurances and
the promises of agreement by those
who are acting under the ordeis of
Chandler, Morton, Sherman and their
confederates, are only devices con
trived to withdraw attention from the
plot, aud to enable the conspirators
to perfect their Dlans, while the de
ceived people are trustfully looking
forward to an honorable solution of
the present problems. Let the coun
try not bo deceived by the conspira
tors, or it may wake up some morn
ing, as Paris did in 1851, and find the
revolution in full success at the capi
