MEETING WITH 11IK CONUHKSMONAL
POST AD OOMMIHHION AT THK OPERA
HOUSE. . •
Jtpnf whfht. a large itnmber of the but
ohants and business men of Columbus,
met at the Opera House to confer with
the Congressional Postal Com mission, oJ
whose arrival noth*' lmd linen given
through the mty p&pertt. Mayor 'Y. H,
Brannon was made chairman of
lug. The ctklriuan then Intruduced tlie
'Hon. 0. (J. Itulibard of Massachu
setts, tho President of t.pe C'ominlsslon,
who stated the object, of tho Commission
to b<! to uncertain tUe.ppstal wants of the
country, that they may be reported to
Owigrese ami soppHlxl with tire least ta>"-
slide delay. Ho stated very fully tho great
advantage to coiunierco of having close,
rapid and reliablw mail counuunlcatlun
betwoeu all points holding business Intel*,
course witii each otlier. Tile interest
alone on remittances between commer
cial polt'bh If mily ooe day’s time wns
saved ill the transmission, would In a
year amount to n huge sum. He declared
the willingness of Congress to extend
"every facility needed by our con
dition. His rermii ks were well re
ceived, being frequently applaud
ed. Ppon ibu con dl us lon of the re
remarks by Mr. Hubbard, the Chairman
Introduced Mr. J. W. Marshall, late As
sistant Postmaster, but now connected
with the Railway Mali Service. Mr.
Marshal! spoke in tho same lino os that
pursued by Mr. Hubbard, giving mafiy
Interesting facts cotineoteil with the until
sarvioe, aud the immense increase in the
quauUtv of mail mutter. Mr, Marshall
oecjaieii tho anxiety of tlie Posttdßue l)e
--pnitriient to serve rdlthfully, and impar
tially every part of tho country with
every mall facility notiled or demanded
by title pceiile. Mr. Marshall was followed
by Run. J). U. Fiix, of Philadelphia., who
added further assurances of a purpose on
the part of Congress to ascertain tlie muil
necessities of communities and to meet
them. We have only to show in what
way we may bo bonelitted, by rapid and
more frequent mails, and they will be
f urn ip lied.
The next speech was made by Mr.
Priiigcs pt tho Atlantic Coast Liuc. Ho is
not oho of the Commission, but being a
Railroad King—having control of a long
line of road, over which the fust mail
through tills section must pass, lie was
listened to with especial Interest. He
stated that the Coast Line traversed a
auction of country second to uoottier sec
tion In commercial importance, and that
his line whs prep ired and ready to
serve the cofnmanttlos, and the Govern
ment. His remarks • wenT fdiimily ap
plauded.
Maj. Salisbury, after some remarks,
showiiiK how little importance had been
attached toGolninbus by map makers and
mail route muniifruils, olforad a resolution
that the chair appoint H committee of live,
whose duty itshoqkl bo to collect infor
mation in connection with the postal
wants of Columbus, and to report them to
this Commissiou. Xlie motion wus car
ried, and tlie Chair stated that he would
at his leisure appoint ttie committee.
Muj. Allen was called on for a speech,
but he was quite indisposed and would
only respond so far us to express ttie
groat pleasure It rravo him to meet the
gentlemen composing this Commission,
mid to kuow that the postal interest of
our section was being looked into with a
view of extending to us nil tho advanta
ges enjoyed by otlier sections.
Hon. John Feabody, being called for,
responded in a good-humored way to the
suggestion that our city is ail out-of-the
way place, left off tlie railroad maps, and
nut often found by any one; that that
might be true in tho main, but that there
was one man found us .out, who pnssed
this way—to wit, General Wilson; that
lie not only found us, but loft his mark
on us. He found three factories, many
warehouses with 15,000 to 20,000 I,ales of
cotton, the largest machlno shops south
of Richmond, made a red streak around
us, and left us nothing but indies and
water—found us rich and loft us poor,
with a largo dependent population to be
fed and clothed. That we had by our own
exertions, without, to his knowledge, the
aid of ouo dollar of foreign capital, grown
out, of this and wore now making our own
mark, and if tho principle is to prevail
that ho who helps himself deserves to be
helped, our city deserves all tho advan
tages that can possibly accrue from any
facility Congress can offer. The mooting
then adjourned. It is too late for com
ment.
A t'oiiiplliuviimry Dunce
A dance complimentary to the young
ladies, daughters of tho gentlemen com
posing the Postal Commission, was given
last night in the dining hall of the Rankin
Houso by tho young gentlemen of Co
lumbus. Quite an array of beauty was
present and although the hall was not
crowded, the soteetness of the company,
conspired chiefly to make the whole affair
the more enjoyable.
Every ono was exceedingly grieved at
the early departure of the Commission,
which left lust night at half past eleven
o’clock. The*remaining hours were spent
agreeably to all,the Italian band discours
ing appropriate music until the dance
broke up, and the company loft for home
regretting tho shortness of ttie happy
hours.
I.rlt lor Arizona,
Mr. .Tosiah Flournoy, civil engineer, left
t liis city yesterday, via Montgomery and
St. Louis, for Arizona Territory, which in
future will be his home. We regret ex
ceedingly to give up such young gentle
men as Mr. Flournoy; it is really a loss
ti> the community. We assure you, friend
Joe, that none but our best wishes will
attend you, and we trust that success will
crown all your efforts. May you over bo
surrounded by such friends as you pos
sess here!
Western life will be uo new thing with
him—he having been connected with the
Texas A Pad do Railroad as an engineer
for several years, ir Congress should
conolude to extend that road to California
—which, by the way, would tie a very wise
act—we know of iilme more competent to
flit the position of Chief Engineer than
Mr. Flournoy.

lliisliicKit Yesterday.
The cars from down the Mobile and Gi
rard Railroad brought up a crowd of pas
sengers yesterday, that must have as.
tonislied tlie seats that, are so seldom
over-pressed.
Wo hoard some of the passengers com
plain of being worn out,having to stand up
so long, as tiiey could not get seats at all
in any of the cars. It was the occasion ot
the meeting of* the stockholders *f the
read, and all stockholders and their fami
lies were entitled to the round trip—to
Columbus and back without change;
and as tho weather was delight
ful, and as the ladies wanted to
do some shopping ; and further,
as these pleasant rides are the
principle, if not tlie only divUlcnd declared
by the oompany, a large number took ad
vantage of the occasion and came up to
the city to see what our dry goods mer
chants, millinery and dealers in other
pretty thiugs, had to show them. That
they were pleased was demonstrated by
tlie huge and varied purchases they made.
They did not even forget to buy baby
carriages, for wo venture the wag. r that
more little carriages wore sold yesterday
than have been sold in one day before in
two years. Wo are always glad
to see ladies buying goods; for they hard
ly ever buy unless they are pleased, and
when theyare pleased they look so hai>-
py, and ore so happy that they plank
down their money like Queens, as they
are; but to see one of these queens per
\fettly iiappy, we must fcee her when she
wants a baby carriage, and lias found ju.it
e-cactiy the very thing she was looking
for—then she rises to all the impor
tance of the occasion and to the
importance of that which is iiiltniteiy
greater, tlie importance of tlie Babv,
itself and counts out the lucre as if it were
“trash” in very deed, and smiles with the
true majesty of a—Mothkk. We think
all tho merchants did a good business and
they as well as our clever and liberal
patrons from below, will remember this
as a pleasant day. And while others did
well, we are glad to say that the Times
was not without its share in the good
time.

Kditor* Time*: —Your correspondent ar
rived In this beautiful little towii Sunday
evening, and after a good supper at the
hotel In charge of Mrs Stephens, attended
divine service at the Methodlvt church.
This church is in charge of tlie Rev.
Mr, Wardlaw, formerly stationed at
Browueville, but the pulpit was tilled by
the Presiding Elder, Rev. Mr. McGebee,
who delivered an impressive and instruc
tive discourse. Tills church has Just been
elegantly painted inside and-out by Mr,
Jerome Wilhelm. To say that it has been
well done, would give you but a faint Idea
of the handsome appearance it presents.
The pulpit and tlie railing around it, the
doors, etc., are grained and tlie lights In
the windows are colored in beautiful de
signs. As It now stands it is a crodit to
tho congregation and the painter.
Monday morning tho court assembled
at the usual hour and was ready for busi
ness by 11 o'clock. Tho Columbus bar
wus represented here by, John Peabody,
Esq., 001. AI. H. Blandford, Jus. M. Mc-
Neill, Rsq,, Col. .j'orter Ingrain, Col. Jos.
Pou, V. J, Thornton, Esq., and 8. B.
Hatcher, Esq. The crowd in attendance
on the court has been small, owing no
doubt to ttie line weather and the desire
of the farmers to get their cotton in the
ground. Tho court lias been pushing
right along with the civil business, con
tinuing some cases, throwing out others,
and occasionally trying one. Theorimlnal
docket will be taken up to-day, and us
there are only two prisoners in the jail, It
will notconsumernuch time. Itisthought
court will adjourn Saturday morning in
time for us all to get home that evening.
As there is probably more opposition
to tlie Constitutional Convention hero
than anywhere else in the district, its ad
vocates have been speaking in its favor
daily. The campaign was opened on
Monday by Col. Porter Ingram, who was
followed on Tuesday by John Peabody,
Esq , and he at night by Col. J. F. Pou and
yesterday by Col. M. H. Blandford. The
speeches were all aid} and eloquent, view -
ing tho question from every possible
standpoint, at least in its favor.
Col. Blamlford’s speech Is said to have
been the great effort of his life. He wus
ut home among the people who had known
him from early manhood-had known
him in times of pence, and in the hour of
his country's trials—ami as he spoke lie
seemed to grow most terribly in earnest,,
and his appeals to them to put aside this
Constitution, which was forced on them,
aad make one of thetr own, was answered
by rounds of applause.
To-day, Col. Edgar Butt will present to
the people, his reasons for not wishing a
Convention at this time, of which I will
tell you in my next.
A veil of sadness was thrown ever this
community on Haturdny last by the sud
den and untimely death of one of its most
respected youths-Robert Williams -ason
of Mr. Marion Williams, aged about 19
years. On Saturday evening he, with a
neighbor, was hauling some liou9e logs,
and while putting a very heavy one, and
the last, on the wagon, and after they had
gotten it up on the wheel. Air. Williams,
who was on tho inside between tho log
and the wagon, was wurmxt by his com
panion to get out of tho way, as the log
was slipping! He dodged down sudden
ly, striking his head against one of the
logs on tlie wagon, and fracturing his
skull. He only lived about an hour and
a half after receiving tlie hurt. He was
a dutiful and loving son, and his sorrow
stricken parents have the sympathy of
the people.
Our stay here has been very pleasant;
made more so by meeting, on our arri
val, a Columbus boy and an old friend,
Charley Miller, who has been living here
for several months past, and seems to
have ingratiated himself with the people
of Marion county, and is perfectly at
home.
Ono of tlie attractions of Buena Vista
is Its String Band, composed of Mr. 0.
J. Cottle, leader, and Messrs. H. M. Stokes
and J. S. MeCorkle. They furnish the
sweetest of music, and “Obe" draws a
bow in a stylo only second to Ole Bull.

This, Is . a season of cleaning up and
whitewashing houses mid fences, and wn
publish the following as the receipt for
making the whitewash thut is used about
the Presidential Mansion and other putdlc
buildings about Washington City.
All housekeepers know there Is a great
difference m tho mixtures that are used
by whitewasbers, and they kuow that
ninny, if not most of them, are very poor:
Take half a bushel of nice, unslacked
lime; slack it with boiling water—cover it
during the process to kyep in the steum ;
strain the liquor through a fine sieve or
strainer, and add to it a peck of salt, pre
viously well dissolved la warm water
three pounds of ground rice, boiled toa
thin paste—half a pound powdered Span
ish whiting—one pound clean glue, which
has been previously dissolved by soaking
well • then hang It oyer a slow fire, in a
small kettle within a larger one lilled with
water. Add live gallons hot water to the
mixture, stir it well, and let it stand a few
days covered from dust. It should be put
on hat, and for this purpose it can be
kept in a kettle on a portable fur
nace. It is said that about one pint
of this mixture will cover a square yard
upon the outside of a house, if properly
applied. Fine or course brushes may be
used, according to the neat uses of the Job
required. It answers as well as oil piflnt
for wood, brick or stone, and Is cheaper.
It. retains Its brilliancy for many years
There is nothing of the kind that will
compare with it, either for Inside or out
side walls. Buildings covered with it will
take a much longer time to burn than If
they were painted with oil paint. Color
ing matter may tie put in unil made of
any shade desired. Spanish brown will
irmko reddish pink when stirred in, morn
r less deep according to quantity. A del
icate tinge of this is very pretty for lii
sids walls. Finely pulverized common
clav, well mixed with Spanish brown,
makes a reddish stone color; yellow ochre
stirred in makes yellow wash," but chrome
goes further, and makes a color generally
esteemed prettier. It is difficult to make
rules, because tastes are different; it
would be best to try experiments on a
shingle and let. it dry. Green must not
be mixed with lime; it destroys the color,
and tho color has an effect on the white

We have before taken occasion to speak
of an old blind negro who perambulates
tlie streets proclaiming his blindness and
asking in a loud, and not always civil tone
of voice, for charity, and suggested that
tlie poor house was the proper place for
him. But ho has not been sent to the poor
house, aiui has beau permitted to parade
the streets urging his claims spun alt
passers, until yesterday, when it;seems lie
became obstreperous and otjherwis# dis
orderly to a greater degree than usual,
and Marshal Moore had him taken in
charge and sent to the guard room. From
the guard room ho should l>e sent to the
county poor house and kept there where
his physical wants can be much better
supplied than they are by tho precarious
contributions gathered up on the high
ways.
ATLANTA. NOTES.
Mr, Win. Clark, an industrious mechanic
of Atlanta, died very mysteriously on
Sunday night.
We learn that it. is possible that a well
known capitalist of Atlanta, will purchase
the Grand National Hotel, at Jackson
ville, Florida, and run it hereafter.
The Rosini Club, of Atlanta, will give a
Concert early in May, and a little latter
an effort will be made by a number of cit
izens to induce a reproduction of “Bohe
mian Girl.”
The ladies of the Second Baptist Church,
of Atlanta, gave a Strawberry Festival
last night. Asa church affair, these
things have about played out in Colum
bus.

SPECIAL CIRCULAR.
To Tax Receivers of Muscogee Ga.:
rpHE folllowing Sections of the Code, to be found
* on pages 20 and 21 olyour Pamphlet of In
structions, are so very important that I give them
ih inis special form for your careful attention.
I will expect every Tax Receiver to do what the
law and his oath requires, and see that every tax
payer return* his or her property at its tbue
value; not what said property would bring at
public nut-cry, but what the property is worth.
It has been estimated that the property of
Georgia is not returned at one-half its true value.
Tliiß is wrong and should not be allowed. The
honeßt men pay nearly ail the tax and many pay
butlitile because they return but little of what
they have. Many men return only about one
fourth or one fifth of what they own. Make all
return their property at its true value and
then the burden of TAX ATION will fall on all
equally.
FROM THE CODE OF GEORGIA.
88 9- (836.) In case of false return, Tar Receiver
to assess value t Each retu.n shau Ou scruti
nized carefully by 4he Tax Receiver, and if in bis
judgment he shall find the property embraced ifi
the return, or any portion of it, returned below
iia value, he snail assess tne value at once, or
within thirty days thereaiter.
§B4O. (836.) Subsequent proceedings. If such as
sessment is not made by tue Receiver iustanter,
h* shall give the tax payer notice of his assess
ment, and ui either case it shall be the tax puy
cr's privilege to nave it left to three disinteres
ted persons, one of whom he shall select, the
other shall be selected by the Receiver ;aud tht se
two shall select a third; it they disagree, a major
ity of whom shall fix the assessment.
8841. (837.) Property returned below its r alue.
It la the privilege of auy tax iayer of the county
where a return is made to complain to th Re
ceiver at any time before the Digest is completed
that auy return is below the true value of the
property; in which case he shall notify the person
who made the return complained of if practica
ble, verbally irby wriiiug, giving him tne name
of complainant and the ground of complaint, and
shall proceed to nave anew assessment in the
terms of the preceding aectiou.
8842. (338.) Oath of assesors. Whenever such
assessors are called in, they shall take an oath
thr- Receiver to do justice between the
parties at variance, touching the true assessment
of the tax return.
8843. (839 ) Defaulting tax payer, how relieved.
When a tax payer h s been returned as a defau.t
er ami double taxi and. either by the Receiver or
Collector, the Ordinary is authorized to relieve
the defaulter of the penalty lor default at the tune
said Ordinary allows the Collector his insolvent
lists: Provided, That said tax payer shown to
such Ordinary by satisfactory evidence, that
tituer providential or other guod cause he had
not an opportunity to make his return to the Re
ceiver of tax returns, and at the time of such re
lease promptly pays his proper tux. and one dol
lar to tho collector as hi fee, the Collector shall
promptly inform the Comptroller General of such
release, aud the. amount 01 taxes paid.
8844. (840.) Defaulters, ho to relieved from double
tax. All defaulters may at any time, and far the
same causes, before the Digest is made up and
j ready to be sent to the Comptroller, save the
| double tax by likewise giving in to the Ordinary,
ami paying him one dollar, who shall give a copy
of such returns in s tan ter to the Receiver,and he
shall enter it in the several Digests.
8845. (841,) Defaulter*t ObtJc. Tho Ordinary,
in the cases set f.-rtb m sections 843 and 844.
shall require the tax payer to swear to the cause
of his delay, aud shall state the same in the cop
ies furnished the CTtnptroller or Receiver.
Hoping and believing yot will do your full
duty in this important matter,
I am yours respectfully,
