The Fast Mall rnmmlaalnn.
The Impression left upon our people by
the Mall Convention, which made a stop
with ut on Thursday afternoon and even
ing was decidedly pleasant. The visit of
a Committee of Congress whose mission
was not only peaceful, but friendly, was
an event of such an unusual character
that it could not fail to Insure all with a
feeling of confidence In a growing willing
ness en the part of tho 11. 8. Government
to extend to this section some of the favors
that havo l>eon showered with such un
stinted profusion upon the Northern,East"
orn and Western sections of tho country.
The fact that tills Commission is now
on service under an act of Congress,
passed In July, 1866, but which has, so far
as the South Is concerned, lain dor
mant for noarly eleven years,. makes
It tho moro apparent that a change
bos recently come over the spirit
of Congressional dreams, and that
high official eyes aro being open
ed to the fact that our rights and wants
aro matters that should claim some atten
tion. The urgency of the gentlemon of
this Commission in Insisting that our
people should ask, even demand a full
share of the benefit of tho Government,
and the froedora with which they pledged
their support to all measures looking to
tho promotion of ouroommon Interests,
must have convinced all who met them,
that the time has come when the South
will not lie regarded by Congress, as a
section to be harassed and oppressed,
and harassed and oppressed only.
Wa aro glad this Committee came to Co
lumbus. We are sorry It did not stay
longer, but that the Impression made on
them by our city, and our people was de
clared In tho most unmistabable terms.
Lot Mayor Brannon appoint his commit
tee—let his committee do its work
thoroughly, and then Columbus will bo
permanently “on the road” and the
travelers map will show where It Is.
. KEKIMKRE ITEM*.
Since the publication of Mr. Inspector
Fontaine’s card, two or three days ago,
the dealers In kerosene oils have been
quite active In making proper demands
on those who supply them with oil, for
such an article us will stand the lawful
test. Of courso their demands must be
compiled with, or the market for their
oils will be closed at this point. But it
is said that one of the reliners threatens
to have hts oils Inspected In Atlanta, and
shipped from UuU. place to this. That
step would, if resorted to, scarcely meet
the difficulty; for In addition to the fact
that when the article enters Mr. Fon
taiue’s district, no matter whether from
Baltimore, Louisville or Atlauta, it is his
duty to test it. The additional freight
would greatly exceed tho cost of testing
It here—and perhaps exceed the cost ol
making It conform to the proper stand
ard.
Merchants cannot be relied on to know
perfectly safe, from highly dangerous oils
—hence the State comes In and appoints
competent men to make sclontilloally es
tablished tests, and whon these tests are
inode, all good merchants will respect
them, for they would uot endanger the
lives or property of their customers for
all the prollt that can ever bo realized on
tho quantity of oil that they could sell—
so the better plan for the reUuers would
be, to make and ship only such oil ns will
stand an honest tost. If they are willing
to sell unsafe oils—which wo are not will
ing to believe of them—we much prefer
that they should sell them in their own
locality. Mr. Gabriel, the reliner at this
place has promptly and cheerfully adopt
ed the test of Mr. Fontaine, and Is produc
ing an oil now, that meets every require
ment, and our merchants havo sturdily
determined that they will not bo made
“shevers” off of dangerous oil, while
they are provided with moans of ascer
taining its quality.
The auprrlur Court Room.
The Superior Court Room, as wo have
before noticed, has lately undergone some
repairs. On yesterday tho lawyers’ desks
—partly made by Champayne A England,
of ttiis city—were placed in the court
room in lieu of the long tables formerly
there. Thcso desks are thirty-three in
number, with substantial iron legs and
pine tops, grained and varnished to repre
sent oak; they are placed two by two, in
four rows, four deep—which makes thirty
two—tho odd desk, being tho Solicitor’s,
is placed to tho right and near tho second
entrance door. Tho desks make tho room
present a more crod Itablo appearance t ban
heretofore; und with the sweeping away
of tho cobwebs from tho walls, and the
application of a now coat of whitewash,
there can bo nothing to disturb the eyo at
tho sittlug of the Court in May.

"STRAY HHO7S.”
Editor Timm: IVn find hut little busi
ness In Judge Cobb’s Court tho present
week and quite a slim attendance. This
speaks well for our able Judicial officer
and confirms tho judgment of his fellow
citizens, as to his excellence as an officer
and jurist. When Judge Cobb took charge
of affairs the docket was voluminous,both
criminal and civil, and there were old
chronic cases that had undergone Judicial
treatment for a number of years, and peo
ple as litigants had about made up their
mtuds that the Alabama judiciary system
was a most conservative stay law and the
"mills” did griud exceedingly slow. Crime
was at a premium, and too oft the culprit
found relief In repeated reviews of Juries
who wore only allowed to pass upon his
person and not his crime,. Motions were
ever In order and technicalities furnished
the avenues of escape. Thoubloand effi
cient solicitor could only point out the
crime, but could not administer the roine
dy until "Cobb” and “confidence” sat
together for the first time on tho judg
ment of tho juries empaneled to try the
different causes brought before them.
Tho rosult Is, the dotkoD Is light and
crime has diminished. The county ex
chequer is much Improved, and once more
the tax payer looks cheerful and confldont
as to our future. We notice in attendance
old familiar faces, and some now ones
among the lawyers, prominent among
them, Judge Falconer, of Montgomery;
Col. Ell. 8. Shorter, of Eufaula; Messrs.
Jones and Randolph, of Montgomery;
Col. W. 11. Barnes and Solicitor Dowdell,
of Opelika; James M. Russell and A. A.
Dozier, Esq., Columbus.
Dowdell looks for all the world like Car
dinal McClosky, of New York. He is a
bachelor of "hearts,” however, and stands
well in bis professions, both as a lawyor
and "diplomat.” lie and James M. Bus
sell, Esq., are about the same age, (22) and
vie with each other at a certain hotel to
see who can do the “agreeable” after the
tidtous hours of "court.” Ferlumisg hair
grease, ‘Vu tie cologne," and other impor
tant factors (personal) were oraploj'od,and
night blooming “sariotm” has gone be
yond the reach of the local inhabitant,
and Seale now mourneth “muchly" over
the sad departure of her stock of cos*
niotics.
The Grand Jury havo been in session
every day since Monday and we presume
from a remark of the Solicitor may ad
journ to-day (Friday) to be conv.rn.xi
on Monday next. We learn thxt Sirs.
Davis, the mother of Mrs. Lyon, the al
leged accomplice of Meinlka, was com
mitted to prison on yesterday, and that
the jury found true bills against Mrs.
Lyon and others Implicated. The case ia
set for next Wednesday, and a panel from
one hundred aud fifty citizens (to t)0 sum
moned) will be selected, or I should more
properly state tho court has ordered 150
citizens in addition to tha regular panel
to be summoned to insure a jury. We
hoar of but little excitement on the sub
ject, and hope the accused may have an
impartial suspense of public opinion till
they aro properly heard—however ap
paling the circumstances surrounding
the case may be. We believe the lament
ed Judge F. M. Wood represented tho un
fortunate woman, with Col. Barnes and
Samford; while Solicitor Dowdell and
Messrs. Hooper and Waddell represent
tho State. We believe Col. L. W. Martin
also represents Mrs. Lyon aud Mrs. Da
vis. This is probably the strongest array
of legal talent iu southeast Alabama, and
wo may expect a heavy tilt of the iance.
The speeches of Cols. Martin, Waddeii
and Samford aro looked for with unusual
interest. On this occasion our new "Car
dinal Me” will, like the Prince Imperial
be “baptized” here and we havo no doubt
will sustain his reputation, already envi
able elsewhere.
Your correspondent “H.” has sent you
a record of all cases as presented and dis
posed of to date, except one or two of
minor Importance. Our talented young
friend, E. H. Glenn, Esq., the "heavy and
light weight of the Register," and aschair
man of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee, has called a meeting of that body to
assembled at Seale on the 3d of May, at
which meeting we presume we will be in
formed when a Convention may bo con
vened for tho purpose of nominating cer
tain candidates for the coming August
elections. Yours,
McCarthy.
April 20th 1877.
P. S.—We see from a "feeble notion" in
your issue of Tuesday the Young Men’s
Catholic Union will picnic at Hatchechub
bee. Wo hope tho "feeble notice" will not
unfavorably impress your citizens as to
the situation. We aro one of the “Noble
Romans” of that village, and can assure
you—you will not bo “feebly” received.
We have the prettiest place for a picnic in
Alabama, and by order of tho Lord Lieu
tenant Governor of liatoheohubbee the
grounds aro being thoroughly overhauled
and the Guards being drilled to extend to
your citizons a grand ovation. Bring all
the Martins, da Wolfs and the Stew'arts
and we’ll furnish the "Wynne” for you.

Picnic.
The little folks have a picnic given them
to-day by some friends in the suburbs,
who Und happiness for themselves in pro
viding it for othors. We know of but few
prettier sights than to see a troop of chil
dren, cheerful and free from every care,
enjoying what is called a “little folks’ pic
nic,” And it would do Col. Bob Ingersoll
—he who lately delivered a lecture on the
rightsof “Man, Woman and Child”—good,
although he is by some denounced ns a
sinner of tho strictest sect, to see these
warm-hearted women gather about the
children, and sow the seeds, and cultivate
a taste for innocent pleasure In them.
The weather is delightfully warm, and
everything in nature is inviting to those
who have leisure to yield to the prompt
ings of the season.

Yesterday It was reported that the U.

Dr. R. U. Falmer, of Brownevllle, Ala.,
charged with koepisg negroas from vot
iug at tho polls, and Jus. K. Giddlns, of
Girard, for violating tho Revenue laws.
Those United States Marshals are a live
ly folk, and have very retentive memo
ries, to go back to elections held way last
year to get offenders,or persons to charge
with offense. We hoped that foolishness
was (lone away with, and that quiet peo
ple would be lot alone—but the end Is not
quite yet.

The City Light Guards met last night
at their armory for drill. After being
carried through the various evolutions,
held a called meeting, and appointed a
committee to arrange for a grand picnic
to come off some time soon.
This company, we learn, have abandon
ed their present uniform, and that in a
short time an entire new one will be de
cided on and purchased.
We regret that this company will not be
able to turn outon Menu dial Day In uni
form, as they will not have timo to get
up anew one by that day. Citizen’s dress
wo presume, will be the uniform worn.

We spoke yesterday of an old afflicted
negro, who had been tuken up and put In
the guard house, and suggested that he
bo taken from the guard house to the poor
house. Wo learn sluco that tho old man
does not live In Georgia, but is a resident
of Alabama; and Is therefore not entitled
to the benellt of tho Muscogee fund for
tho indigent poor. We do not know
what provision, if any, our neigh
bors of Russell and Leo coun
ties make for tho care of their
paupers; but if any place Is provided for
thorn, we think this old man should be
taken In hand and kept there. Georgia
has as many paupers as she can provide
for, of her own; and Muscogee county
has far mors than tier fair proportion—
and we hope that none who are honestly
chargeable to another State or county,
will come here for a support, or to prowl
about our streets seeking charity. When
seen begging on this side the river, the
old man should he sent back to his own
shores.

The Memphis Ledger is informed
that the post mortem examination
made by the doctors on the body of
Dr. Charles A. Jordan, who died a
day or two ago, from the effects of
a dose of chloroform, had the effect
of adding some little to the science
of medicine. Heretofore it has been
the theory and practice with physi
cians who administer chloroform or
any other anaesthetic to place the
head of the patient lower than the
body in order to bring about a recov
ery from the effect of the drug, they
believing that this would cause the
blood to flow from the heart to the
head, but the amount of blood found
on the brain of the subject of the
post-mortem examination proved
that congestion had taken place,
caused by too much blood appearing
ott t hat organ. This would go to re
verse the theory and indicate that
the head of the patient should be
raised in order to force the blood lo
flow from tho brain blood vessels to
the body and thereby prevent con
gestion from taking place in cases
where an anaesthetic is used. When
pallor ensues the head should be
lowered, but when the face becomes
flushed and livid the head of the
patient should be raised, at least so
the theory was explained to the non
professional reporter.

SPECIAL CIRCULAR.
To Tax Receivers of Muscogee 6a.:
fPHE following Sections of the Code,to be found
" on pages *26 and 21 of your Pamphlet of In
structions, are so very important that I give them
In this special form lor your careful attention.
I will expect every Tax Receiver to do what the
law and his oqth requires, and see that every tax
payer returns his or her property at its true
value; not what said property would bring at
jmblic out-cry, but what the property is worth.
It has been estimated that the property of
Georgia ia not returned at one-half its true value.
This ia wrong and should not be allowed. The
honest men pay nearly all the tax and many pay
but little because they return but little of what
they have. Many men return only about one
fwurth or one-fifth of what they own. Make all
return their properly at its tri e value and
then the burden of TAXATION will tall on all
equally.
FROM -THE CODE OF GEORGIA.
§8 .9 • (835.) In cane of r alse return, Tax Receiver
to assess value. Each retutn ahail be scruti
nized carefully by the Tax Receiver, and if in his
judgment he shall find the property embraced in
the return, or any portion of it, returned below
its value, he shall assess toe value .at once, or
within thirty days therealter.
§B4O. (836.) Subsequent proceedings. If such as
sessment ia not made by tue Receiver iustauter,
he shall give the tax payer notice of his assess
ment, and in either rase it shall be the tax pay
er’s privilege to nave it iett to three disinteres
ted persons, one of whom he shall select, the
otner shall be selected by the Receiver ;aml thi se
two shall select a third; it they disagree, a major
ity of whom shall hx the assessment.
§B4l. (837.) Property returned below its value..
It is the privilege ol any tax payer of the county
where a return is made to complain to the Re
ceiver at any time oefore the Digest is completed
that any return Is below the true value or the
property; in which case he shall notify the person
who made the return complained of if practica
ble, verbally tr by writing, giving himtne name
of complainant and the ground of complaint, aud
shall proceed to have anew assessment iu the
terms of the preceding section.
§842. (338.) Oath of assesors. Whenever such
assessors are called in, they shall take an oath
oefore the Receiver to do justice between the
parties at variance, touching the true assensment
of the tax return.
8843. (839 ) De faulting tax payer, how relieved.
When a tax payer hs been returned as a default
er aud double taxed, either by the Receiver or
Collector, the Ordinary is authorized to relieve
the defaulter of the penalty for default at the time
said Ordinary allows the Collector his insolvent
lists: Provided, That said tax payer shows to
such Ordinary by satisfactory evidence, that
eit ier providential or other good cause he had
not an opportunity to make his return to the Re
ceiver of tax returns, aud at the timo ol such re
lease promptly pays his proper tax. and oue dol
lar to the collect- r as his fee, the Collector shall
promptly inform the Comptroller General of such
release, and the amount 01 taxes paid.
§844. (840.) Defaulters, how relieved from double
tax. All defaulters may at any time, aud fr the
same causes, before the Digest is made up and
ready to be sent to the Comptroller, save the
double tax by likewise giving in to the Ordinary,
and paying him one dollar, who shall give a copy
of such returns instanter to the Receiver,and he
shall enter it in the several Digests.
8845. (841.) Defaulter's Oath. The Ordinary,
in the cases set f rth in 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 Oimptroller or Receiver.
Hoping and believing you will do your full
duty iu this important matter,
I am yours respectfully,
W. L. GOLDSMITH,
Comptroller General.
