nothing lo sax about
of the General As
Monthly. Apart from its refusal to
rotlueo the Judicial districts, to
institute a {tenoral system of e
eoiiomy, its devotion to the ring,
and its investigation of the bribe
ry case, the proceedings are with
out intereat. Col. (’. I) Phillips
of Cobb, lias introduced a bill to
prevent the sale, or furnishing in
uny way, liquors within two miles
of election precincts on any elec
tion day.
New York city levies a tax of
upwards of $80,000,000 annually.
It is a big city, but one of the
worst governed, financially, in
the Union.
An exchange complains that
(ov. Colquitt does not publish
his proclamations in any of the
independent papers. It should
not be expected. They must not
look for favors from the “organ
iaeU” officials while clamorous for
open investigations. They can
only rely for support upon a free
people.
—-rAVe have given the facts, and
nothing but the facts, touching
the lobby fee paid to secure from
“the poor old man" in Atlanta
the signing of the railroad bonds.
The people, whatever may be the
finding of the investigating com
millee, will make up own
verdict.
The Post Master General, a
Southern national democrat, in

Some dread of a yellow fever
epidemic in 1879, more disastrous
than the one of this year, has been
excited by the report of the Gov
eminent commission. The plague

malaria to feed it; and though it
is usually propagated by spores
or germs from importation, these

along, but it is a pamotie and
able address. Congress is urged
to adopt some mode for the pro
tection of our seaports from yel
low fever and other epidemics.—
The recent Congressional elec
tions are reviewed, and regret is
expressed that in certain States
of the South the right of suffrage
has not been freely exercised. —
The United States is at peace with
all nations. The little army ('
some 25,000 men has done active
service. The navy has improved
in the number of vessels. The
expenditures of the Postotfice de
partment fall short of the revenue
about )|i5,000,000. The surplus
revenue of the Treasury is stated
at #20,709,551 90.
They have a so called spiritual
medium in Atlanta, a Mrs. Eld
ridge, through whom you are en
abled to carry on conversations
with the spirit world just as you
converse with deaf mutes; indeed
you are not required to express
your thoughts, only to think
them, and the answer comes upon
the slate. We are not converted
yet. but our curiosity is excited.
Will Mrs. Kldridge visit Marietta! 1
We are very anxious to know
something of the other world.
Notwithstanding the low price ,
our farmers realized for their cot j
ton, it is gratifying to learn that
most of them are out of debt— j
that, in upper Georgia, the sup- '
plies are abundant, and that the!
new year will open with a prom- !
ise of prosperity, to which we
have been strangers since the'
war.
The wit of “Bill Arp” may he
ever so droll, grotesque or cun
ning; hut its alchemy can never
"make a jewel out of a sow's ear." 1
Bill might have learned this soon
er if his capacity could have ta
ken in a little more of the wis
dnm of Solomon.
The bill to reduce the Judicial j
Circuits required a majority of
the total votes of the legislature, i
and failed by two votes—B6 for it
to 68 against. So the retrench
ment in this case, as in too many
others, was not quite strong e
nough.
Gen. Toombs did not miss the
truth far in saying that the long i
continued depression of affairs at
the South is mainly attributable
to misgovernment—he might
have said to party government.
Gov. Colquitt may not have
been influenced by corrupt mo
tives in signing the bonds, and the
investigation, we trust, will so
make it appear ; but it will hard
ly fail to show. also, that there
was rottenness somewhere.

The Maietta depot of the Mari
etta and North Georgia Railroad
will be located probably at the
Denmead Warehouse or below.
It should be as near as can be in
the buisness centre. The road

THE FIELD AND FIRESIDE—MARIETTA, (GA.) THURSDAY. DECEMBER 5. 1878.
We give the following points
from an interview with A. 11. Ste
phens since his arrival at Wash
ington :
‘•Sectional antipathy and sec
tional parties, I trust, will cease,
and that the people of all sec
tions will become thoroughly ini

system, as the advocate and pro
tector of Huntingdon & Cos. in
Congress, backed by Jay Gould
and Wall street, as a counter
jumper in all the rings in Geor
gia politics, as the first assistant
of Gov. Colquitt in the State
house ring, as the most consum
mate trickster on the political
boards, he was a man who could
•profit them,’ hence he went in
almost unanimously. Outsiders
groaned in spirit over the demor
alization of the country. •Icha
bod’ is written on Georgia states
manship. A political Bobadil
fills the seat of Crawford and Ber
rien-. The country is filled with
forebodings. When high officials
manipulate the “wild land’ swin
dle, when the treasury of the
State is a family corporation that
fattens the greedy and elevates
the snob, when lobbyists walk in
and out as priviledged characters,
protected and endorsed by the
Governor and the legislature,
when fraudulent railroad bonds
are made the means of robbing
the State treasury, when taxation
grows apace, when poverty and
bankruptcy uplift their ghostly
heads and the people shriek in
terror at the sight ; Oh, where
shall we look for help unless we
appeal to God on high, for vain
is the help of man. When the
wicked rule, the people tremble.”

■fudge Key on 1880 Prospects.
—Meeting the Postmaster Gener
al in his hotel, your correspon
dent drew from him the following
brief interview :
Judge Key,” said I “it is re
ported that you went to the Pa
cific Slope to look after the
chances of the great combina
tion ticket, Grant and Kev, for
1880.”
“There is not a word of truth
in it. So absurd a story needs no
denial among sensible people. I
suppose it is a joke, and a poor
joke at that.”
“ But, seriously, did you find
Grant strong on the Slope ?”
“ I took no pains to find out
whether he was stong or weak.
In conversation with leading Re
publicans 1 was told that he was
the favorite for 1880 in that quar
ter, aud that he could carry Cali
fornia and Oregon by larger ma
jorities than any man living.
Perhaps he could : I don’t know
anything about it.”— Washington
