A FEW FACTS ABD FIGURES.
If Congress should propose to, donate to
the State o" Georgia two millions of dol
lars" annually, for ten years, the man who
opposed this benefaction would be consid
ered n lunatic, or an enemy to the welfare
of the Commonwealth. Two millions a
year, for ten years, would amount to the
enormous sum of twenty millions. What
an impulse would such an amount of money
give to every branch of industry If put in
circulation. What ineffable comforts would
its legitimate distribution confer on all
classes and conditions of life. And yet, the
people of Georgia have it in their power, if
they are wise and prompt, to secure such a
bounty, not only for ten years, but as many
more as they desire. True, the money will
not come from Congress, but it will come
from a better source, and, in the long ruu,
prove quite as valuable as the gift we have
supposed.
Let us see.
The idle gold now in the hands of our
people would purchase about thirty millions
of dollars worth of Bonds. Upon which
they would receive an annual interest of
nearly two millions. This interest rein
vested every year would, in ten years,
amount to over twenty-five millions, inde
pendent of the principal. Let our capital
ists think of that, and reflect, at the same
time, that the opportunity afforded them
now may slip from their grasp, if not in
stantly encouraged.
It has alwas been considered a great and
utter calamity for one people to pay com
pulsory tribute to another people. What
shall we say of tribute which lias a some
what voluntary aspect? Tribute of any
kind impoverishes a people and nurses an
overbearing haughtiness in those who re
ceive it. The people of Georgia are now
paying tribute to a people whose hos
tility is all the more galling because it is
the hostility of “ brethren." The interest
on our State debt goes Northward to pam
per our persecutors, while we have it in
our power to call it home and make it
nourish us and our friends. Let us stop
this perpetual drain. Let us resolve to be
tributaries no more. The paramount ob
ject of the South is to force respect from
the North by the power of money, having
failed to make an impression upon that
heart of stone by sentimental appeals. The
first grand step in substantial progress of
this sort is to gain possession of the State
Bonds. Will we do it, or will we elect to
remain hewers of wood and drawers of
water for a people who are alien to us in
sympathy, if not in blood ?

State Treasurer’s Report.
The following is the report of the State
Treasurer, made in response to a call from
the House of Representatives for informa
tion regarding the amount of State bonds
which had been issued since his induction
into office—for what they had been sold,
and at what rates; what amounts had been
hypothecated, &c., &c. The report has
been referred to the Finance Committee of
the House:
REPORT.
Treasurer’s Office, >
Atlanta, Ga., January 21,1868. j
To the. Honorable. House of Representatives of
the Stale of Georgia :
In response to your resolution of yester
day, as follows : “ Resolved, That N. L. Au
gier, Treasurer of this State, be, and he is
hereby, requested to communicate to this
House, as early as practicable, what
amount of State bonds have been issued
since he came into office, and whether or
not they have been sold or hypothecated
for money borrowed; what amount of
bonds have been sold, and at what price;
what amount has been hypothecated, aud
where ; how much mouey has been borrow
ed by the State on hypothecated bonds;
how much money has been drawn upon the
faith of the hypothecated bonds of this
State, and by whom; what portion of the
amount so drawn has been received into
the Treasury of this State; what is the
state of the accounts at this time with the
State of Georgia, aud the party or parties
with whom the State bonds have been hy
pothecated ; giving a full and clear state
ment of all matters lu this resolution re
ferred to,” I have the honor to report that
on the 2ist <\ay of September, 1868, his Ex
cellency Governor Bollock. and myself de
livered to the agent of the Fourth National
Bilik of New York a contract to place in
their possession one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars ($150,000) of the seven
per cent, bonds of the State, on or before
the 15th day of November. 1868, upon
which contracts as collateral security said
bauk advanced us one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000) cash. On the 6th of Oc
tober, 1868, similar cont racts to the amount
of sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) were
executed and delivered to the agent of the
same bank, upon .which security said bank
advanced us forty thousand dollars ($40,-
000) cash.
On the 17th day of November, 1868,
there was prepared and forwarded from
this office, six hundred thousand dollars
($600,000) new seven per cent, bonds of the
State of Georgia, dated November Ist, 1868,
signed Rufus B. Bullock, Governor, David
G. Cotting, Secretary of State, coupons
signed by the Treasurer, to the Fourth Na
tional Bank, to carry out the terms of the
contracts made to them September 21st
aud October 6th, 1868, and to be hypothe
cated for further sums of money, to meet
the interest on the public debt fallen and
falling due, and for other purposes.
November 9th, 1868, we received, by ex
press, $25,000 as au advance on said bonds;
November 12th, $25,000 by express; No
vember 20th, $25,000 on draft of Governor
Bullock; November 21st, $25,000 on draft
of Governor Bullock; December 7th, $25,-
000 by express; December 12th, $25,000
by express, and December 26th, $25,000 by
express, ail of which amounts were re
ceived into the Treasury.
On the 23d day of December, 1868, sup
posinga considerable amount of the new
seven per cent, bonds had been sold, and
desiring to make a report of them in my
annual report to the Governor, I wrote to
the Fourth National Bank, asking them to
advise me what amount of the new seven
per cent, bonds had been sold, aud at what
price, and at the same time to send me a
conpiete statement or account current oi
the State with, the bank. On the 9th in
stant I received a frill statement of the ac
count, and a letter, in which was stated:
“ None of the new seven per cent, bonds
have been sold, it being considered unad
visable to do so, in consultation between
our President and Governor Bullock, It be
ing considered by many that the Legisla
ture authorizing them was an illegal body.
Besides creating themselves in the ac
count current with the various amounts
named above, they also took credit foi a.
large amount, which I did not know any
thing about, and which had never reached
the Treasury. Not knowing how
count for these credits. I immediately start
ed, on the eve of the 10th instant, for New
York, to get a full explanation of them.
Having arrived in New York, proceeded to
the Fourth National Bank, and found that
Governor Bullock had drawn drafts to the
amount of thirty-five thousand dollars (soo,-
000.) (Copy of the drafts I give below)
which amount never has been paid in nor
reported to the Treasury by Governor rsul

McCay, J.
Ist. It is too late, after arraignment, to
object to an Indictment on the ground that
it fails to allege the defendant to be a resi
dent of the county in which the bill is
found.
2d. When it appeared that the venue in a
murder case was charged, on the motion of
the prisoner, at the April Term, 1868, from
Gordon county to Bartow county, and the
case was called for trial in Bartow county,
at the November Term, 1868, the defendant
is charged with notice that the case will
then be called, and he cannot excuse him
self for want of dilligence in preparing for
trial, by his affidavit that lie did not know
the case had been moved to Bartow, and
would be called for trial at the next regu
lar November Term.
3d. The simple fact that the defendant
has been in jail, in a distant county, does
not excuse him for want of dilligence in
preparing for trial.
The absence of counsel “on whom the
defendant mostly relies,” unless shown to
be neither by neglect nor by collusion, is
not a good ground for continuance.
4th. When a motion is made to continue
at the calling of a cause, the movement
must take all his grouud ; he cannot, after
his motion has been overruled, file a plea
based on facts known at the time, setting
up a special defense, and then move to con
tinue the new issue thus tendered.
sth. This court will not interfere with
the discretion of the Judge iu refusing a
continuance, unless there is an abuse of the
discretion the law has merely reposed in
him. *
6th. The plea of insanity, provided for
by section 4234 of Irwin’s Code, is a plain
abatement, and must show that the defend
ant is insane at the time of the trial. Its
object is to ascertain if the prisoner can
then be tried ; uot to determine his guilt or
innocence of the crime charged.

When A sold to B a stock of merchan
dise in consideration that B would pay a
certain debt of SSOO due by A, to which B
was security; and in further consideration
that B would pay the debts due by A for
the stock of goods, which amounted to
$1,500 : Held, that the modefof payment
was a part of the conside~ation ; and that
even as to the $1,500, A has no right of ac
tion against B until he fails, or unreason
ably delays to pay the debts due by A for
the stock of goods.
Nor can a general creditor of A, in the
absence of any fraud or collusion between
the parties with intent to hinder or defraud
the creditors of A, subject, by the process
of garnishment, this obligation of B to the
payment of the debt the creditor holds
against A.

When an attachment is levied on real es
tate, and before judgment on the attach
ment, an execution, on a common law
judgment in favor of other parties against
the defendant, Is levied on the same real es
tate, the sheriff may proceed to sell under
the last levy, and the purchaser gets a
good title.
When an execution against two joint ob
ligors is levied on the property of one of
them, the other defendant has a right to
buy the property at the sale, and he gets
the full title of his co-defendant to the
property.
Mere general charges of fraud, with no
specification of fraudulent acts, are not suf
ficient to give a Court of Equity jurisdic
tion to set aside a sheriff’s sale.
When a ft: fa. against two joint-obligors,
they being mutually interested in the con
sideration, is satisfied by the sale of the
property of one of them, the other is In
debted to him for contributions, according
to the equitable rights o. the two in the
original contract, and the creditors of the
obligor wJtbse property has been sold, may
reach this obligation to contribute by pro
cess of garnishment, aud have therefore a
remedy at law.
Judgment affirmed.

Ist. A money legacy left to the Executor
of a will, though expressed to be “in ad
dition to the usual commission allowed by
law, and as a full compensatibn for any
extra trouble he may have in executing the
will,” is a general legacy and cannot, as a
legacy, be exempted from abatement, with
other general legacies, in case of a deficiency
of assets.
2d. When a testator, in a single item of
his will, gave to his wife $1,500 in money,
various articles of personal property and a
life-estate in a certain house and lot and
and its appurtenances, with the privilege,
if she so desired, to take SI,OOO instead of
the life-estate in the house and lot, and in a
subsequent item he distinctly declared that
the “ legacy left his wife is in lieu of dow
er ”: Held, That the word “ legacy ”iu the
last item covers all the several bequests of
the first, and should she prefer the SI,OOO
in lieu of the life-estate, and elect to take
her “ legacy ” in lieu of dower, she takes all
the severed bequests in her character as
dowerless.
3d. When a legacy left to a wife is ex
pressed to lie in lieu of dower, and she
elects to take the “legacy,” she takes it as
a quasi purchaser; and, iu a conquest be
tween her and other legatees, whether gen
eral or specific, she cannot be called upon
to abate with them, to make up a deficiency
of assets.
4th. A legacy in Georgia may be adeemed
by the delivery of the property to the lega
tee, during the lifetime of the testator, and
•il it be so adeemed, it does not pass under
the will and is not subject to abate oil a
deficiency of assets.
sth. Whether a legacy has in fact been
adeemed, is a question of fact to be loft to
a jury under the evidence in the particular
case. The delivery to the legatee must be
of such a character as to show that it was
the intent of the testator to part at the
time, irrevocably, with his dominion over
the property.

[Washington Correspondence St. Louis Democrat.
Vinnie Seam.
A gentleman who was conversant with
the facts, or near by at the time, told me of
this scene, which happened not long ago in
the studio of little Vinnie Ream.
MihS Vir.de, discovered in her artistic
dress, elaborating her statue of Lincoln,—
To her .enter Mrs. Cady Stanton, and the
ceremony of an introduction is effected by a
third party. Mrs. Stauton produces a long
roll of petition, on the female question of
course, and says, in her large, benignant
way:
“ Child, we wish your uanie here.”
Miss Vinnie looks it over a minute, till
she discovers that it is a plan to move on
the works of mail, the monster.
“ Oh! no, Mrs. Stanton, l will not sign
this. I don’t wisli publicity, and lam uot
of your thinking on this question.”
“It enters into your interests. It con
cerns the recognition of woman, and
woman’s labor under the Government.”
“lam not a woman’s rights advocate,
ma’am."
“ Wiiy, child!” cried Mrs. Stanton, “ You
are a working girl, getting your hread by
your hands ! If yon d<> not help yourself
and us, how can woman help you ?”
“ Mrs. Stanton.” said Vinnie Ream, bit
terly, " no Help has any woman ever given
me here. From Grace Greenwood to Mrs.
Swisshelin, they have all sought to strike
me down. Mrs. Calhoun writes to the
Tribune tiiat she has pot seen any of my
work, but that she knows it is bpd. Mrs.
S. goes to Thaddeus Stevens, and among
Congressmen, asking them uot to give my
studio back. Mrs. Clemme Ames—all of
them, can find no larger occupation than
attacking a poor little girl, and their venom
—I never offended one of them—has extend
ed to personally canvassing against me.
No! Madam 1 Driven out of the wish of
their patronage aud co-operation, I will be
befriended by gentlemen only; for whilst I
never got any justice from woman I was
never treated meanly by man !”
“ I know Mrs. Swisshelm,” says Mrs.
Stanton, “she is a friend of mine and
prominent in this movement.”
“ I forbear to enumerate,” said Vinnie
Ream, “ though I will not say they did not
wound me to the heart; the many malig
nant, vulgar and unprovoked things she
wrote against me and published. Then
they were sent to me and to my friends.
They aimed higher than my profession—at
my character and life.”
“ Grace Greenwood also wrote against
you ?”
“ Yes, madam; in the Advance she up
braided iny patrons and called me a child,
asking Congress to pay my school bills but
take me away from sculpture, adding that
if any work was to be given out it should
be given to ‘ that Roman matron, Mrs.
Ames,’ and Mrs. Ames is Grace Green
wood’s sister.”
“ Mrs. S. was no more considerate ?”
“ She, Madame, not only talked against
me—a stranger to her—wherever she could
get a group to listen, but she made a per
sonal visit to Thaddeus Stevens, to beg him
to take away my studio.
“ ‘ What is she doing ill ?’ said Mr. Stev
ens.
“‘Decorating ber studio with flowers,
wearing long hair, attracting the men, aud
thereby lobbying.’
“ ‘ Well,’ said Mr. Stevens, ‘it seems to
me that you are round here lobbying a
good deal, Mrs. S., if talking to Congress
men is lobbying. I have never seen Miss
Ream at all.’
“ * Oh !’ cried Mrs. S., ‘ no girl can keep
chaste and pure with three hundred wetch
ed men around her.’ •
“ Well,’ said Mr. Stevens, ‘ out of all the
three hundred, there has never been ail effort
to do as much harm to Miss Ream as 6ne
woman can make.”
“ So he took up his crutch, hobbled over
to see me, befriended me immediately and
boldly, and died my friend.”
“ Airs. Stanton, the men have more heart
for my sex than the women. Their jealousy
is at least large as emulf iion. Repelled by
wrongs, in the way I hrve stated, I was
compelled to learn the generosity of men,
and I do not regret the lesson.”
“ AUss Stanton,” said my informant,
“ proved an a n’able exception, for she
always afterwards spoke well of Vinnie
Ream in her newspaper.”
It is true that a good deal of aspersion
has been foully dealt at little Ream. The
women have never been able to get over the
appropriation Covgress made her. These
literary wo ne », any way, are the most reck
less bf Bohemian*.
No letters from this city were ever more
absolutely wild with causeless spleen than
Calhoun’s aforenamed. She “ ran a muck ”
in Washington, and yet understood noth
ing about it. Swisshelm, searching for vic
tims, got afoul of Airs. Sprague dreadfully
last year, and raised such indignation that
even her undaunted mettle was abashed.
Mrs. Ann S. Stephens is suing somebody
for libel, and appreciating the pleasures of
being abased in print. “ The Roman Ma
tron ” is here, but without a Government
commission yet. Little Ream is the Venus
Victrix. She has met the enemy and they
are hers. Wherever deficient in talent these
women’s tongues raised her compensating
sympathy. lam not acquainted with her ;
for she is, indeed, as little conspicuous as
any woman in Washington ; but her tri
umph seems to be complete, and somebody
says she is to go to Rome next year.
Doubtless her female friends will anticipate
her with scandal, but Rome is not the prude
that Washington is. The boarding house
there is not enthroned on the Mom Capito
linues.
Gen. Grant, it seems, cannat get rid of the
Blair family. Gen. Comstock, of bis staff) is to
marry a daughter of Montgomery Blair.

Is a very complicated and dullest* one. and is more lia
ble to get out of order, and much aoro difficult tn repair,
than any combine'ion of wheels, and cranks, and levers,
made by the bands of roan. Asa rule, it is tinkered too
much, aud badly tinkered at Ihat. It is often calomel
iaed, narcotized, dep'eted, and otherwise misused, when
all that it really needs is a wholesome tonic and restoia
tive. like HOS I'ET I’ER’d STOMACH BITTERS, to put
it id proper Him and keep it so. The stomach is shame
fully maltreated. In the first place, tbe food which its
juice 6 are intended to dissolve, is too frequently thrown
into it hattily. aud in x hail' masticated condition, in
which state the gastric acid c innot properly act upon it.
The result is iys. ep la Then comes the doc.or, and,
finding the and ge-t ve o gans wi ak-mi the bowels inert,
he proceeds :o w. aken ai.d paralyze sti J more wi h dras
tic purgatives. These fai ns-ns they always do—to pro
duce a s ilu ary change let Us the invalid that medical
science can do no m ne for him. Tliis.withaildueJeler
ence is a mistake-ou* of those mistakes which Talley
rand sad were tantamount to crime. What the dyspep
tic needs is liitiigQrcition. S'rengtben the stomach with
UOSTKTTtR S BITTERS, and the stomach will
strengthen every other pait of tbe human machine, and
make it, in common pirlance, as good »s new. Upon the
state of the digeslio.i depend , in a measure, the condi
tion of the whole system. Now, the Bit ers aiethe moat
admirable tonic kuowu. They consist of the finest vege
table iuvigorants and res oratives, combined with an
unadulterated stimulant. The dvsptplic needs nothing
else to effect a core, except alight, nutritious diet, and
a fair amount of exercise. Even iu tbe Absence of these
last mentioned accessories, the tonie and attentive prop
erties of the preparation will work wonders, enabling the
dyspeptic to dig st inferior fare with crmplrative ease,
and to maintain a good habit of body, m spite of the draw
backs of a sedentary occupation. jsn's-t'ebl

THE FEDERAL UNION,
!PUBLISHED WEEKLY, in the city of Mil
ledgeville, G.u, at $3 per annum in advance, is now in
its 39tb volume.
This paper is ono of ihe oldest and most popular
Democratic journal* in tho State, and has been one of
the most successful. It is located in the centre of the
State, and circulates in nearly every county. Asa
medium fjr advertising, it oft rs advantages enjoyed
by tew papers.
During the past few years Death has stricken from
onr subscription list many r.f the leading men of
Geogria who were the patrons and friends ot this pa
per from its commencement to the day of their death.
We hope the paper these old men loved so well is
still worthy the confidence and support es their
sons. We shall continue to labor earnestly in the fu
ture, as in the past, for whatever we may think is for
the best interest of our country.
With the commencement of another year we will
onlarge and otherwise improvo the Union, and use
our best efforts to keep the interest in this time
honored journal from declining, u*tU such time as
the people of Georgia shall dernaid that, the State
Government be returned to Milledgevine, when it
will be conducted with the ability that iu tt%gi past
commanded for it an influence and circulation equal
to any paper in the State.
As farming is, and must continue to be, the grea
interest of this country, we will devote more of our
attention to agriculture aud the interest of farmers
than heretofore, and hope thereby to increase our
circulation among that class.
Will not our friends assist us in extending the circu
latlon of our paper ? Who will » enc * ft* the long» g
list of subscribers as a Christmas present 1
To any person who will send us three

Pacific Guano Company's Soluble
PACIFIC GUANO.
Capital, One IVillion Dollars.
This GUANO ditlers from Peruvian Guana
simply in the relative proportions of tl e same element
of fertility.
Its use during the past font- years, for the culture of
Cotton and Corn, has given to it a character for stand
ard excellence unsurpassed by Peruvian Guano, and
when seasons of drought intervene it produces a larger
increase of crops. The price at which this Guano is
placed is so much below that of Peruvian Guano as
to constitute it an object of material importance to
Southern agriculture.
The Company looks to “ large sales,” small “ prof
its” and a permanent trade for compensation on capi
tal invested.
The large capital and resouroes of the Company en
ables it to furnish a Guano of the highest value,
the lowest possible eost to consumers, and the highest
interest of the Company i, recognized in this policy.
Dr. St. Julian Rat.enil, of Charleston, S. C., is
i Scientific Director to the Company, which affords a
sure guarantee of the continued excellence of the
Gnano.

| Time, Money and Labor Saved.
THE AUTOMATIC CLOTHES WASHER
AND BOILER.
IF HIS most useful invention has been introduced
into this city by thy undersigned, who guarantees the
performance of all that Is claimed for it. The cost is
comparatively trilling—SlX DOLLARS—when l*
considered the amount of time, money and labor saved
by Its use.
This Boiler operates upon purely philotophical prin
ciples.
It is self-acting, and dispenses entirely witli labor
and the wear of clothes.
The hot auds and steam, by the action of fire, arc
driven up through lulies, poured upon the clothes,
ami forced through the fabric with astonishing rapid
ity, cleansing it perfectly without any nibbing. It bus
been thoroughly tested, and pronounced unequalcd as
a Clothes Washer by those who have used It.
All fabrics, from the finest laces to the bod blanket,
can lie washed perfectly and with ease, without the
aid of the tubbing-board. For Flannels it is Invalua
ble, as the rubb ng, rolling and pressing process must
necessarily full them more or lese.
It is truly a labor and clothes saving invention.—
Washing will no longer he a hardship, and washing
day no longer a terror and a dread to housewives.
The invention can he used in any boiler, and tii
low price of the ur'icio places it within the reach of
every family.
The saving in the wear of clothes will very soon pay
for the outlay.
It is estimated that 200 to SOO gallons of boiled suds
pass through the clothes in thirty minutes; this being
the longest time required for cleansing a holler full of
clothes.
I refer, confidently, to the following named gentle
men, who have seen the Automatic Washer and
Belter in operation: .
