A goodly number of citizens assembled

ADDRESS OP MAYOR ALLEN.
Gentlemen, of the City Council :
In assuming, upon this occasion, the po
sition of Chief Magistrate of our city, I
can assure you that 1 enter upon the dis
charge of its responsible duties with many
misgivings as to my ability to fulfill the
expectation# of those who have elevated
me to it.
1 fully appreciate the many difficulties
ahead of me, and I fully comprehend the
nature of the many interests now entrusted
to our mutual care and management, and,
relying upon your cordial and wise co-op
eration in each and every effort which I
may make to promote the prosperity and
welfare of onr people, and believing that
onr deliberations will he characterized bv a
spirit of harmony and a desire upon the
part of each member of this Board to act
only for the best interests of our entire
community, I feci confident that our efforts
vis 1
office we will be enabled to refer to onr pro
ceedings with pride, feeling confident that
nothing will be recorded therein of which
we need be ashamed.
THE CITY FINANCES —ECONOMY THE WATCH
WORD.
It, Is, perhaps, unnecessary for me to tell
you that the finances will at all times de
mand your constant care and watchfulness.
Upon your wise and prudent financial
management will entirely depend the suc
cess of your administration, and the pros
perity of every other Interest now entrust
ed to your care.
Economy must, of necessity, he the
watchword in every department of our
municipal government —receipts and ex
penditures must, be closely and carefully
scanned—appropriations of thepublic funds
must be maturely considered, and granted
only when we shall .have become perfectly
satisfied of the ability of the treasury to
meet existiDg obligations, and of the impera
tive necissity which calls for additional ex
penditures. In a word, 1 would earnestly
warn you against all extravagant or un
called for expenditures.
By the judicious and economical manage
ment of your Immediate predecessors, the
financial "embarrassment which hung over
our city a year ago has been entirely re
lieved; our floating debt has been can
celled ; and it now depends upon you to
either carry out the policy so wisely inau
gurated, or again begin a system which
must eventually end in complete bankrupt
cy.
Again. I repeat, watch well your receipts
and disbursements—appropriate not one
dollar except through the demand of ne
cessltv, and which your treasury cannot
promptly meet; keep down taxation, already
too burdensome, for thus only can you
place the prosperity of our city upon a solid
foundation, and add to its population and
wealth.
But I deem it superfluous to call your
attention to these matters, for I feel confi
dent that, as business men, you compre
hend the situation, and that as faithful re
presentatives you will manage the trusts
committed to you for the good of all.
ENLARGEMENT OP THE CANAL.
Whilst I do uot propose to enumerate in
detail the many subjects which will require
vour attention, I will allude to a few which
will suggest themselves to your early and
careful consideration, aud doubtless receive
judicious legislation at your hands.
The question of the enlargement of the
Augusta Canal has been respectfully refer
red to you by your immediate predecessors.
They are of the opinion that this public
work contains the germ of the future great
ness of our city, and needs only to be de
veloped to bring a large increase of indus
trious population, millions of additional
wealth and profitable labor for our poor.
I would recommend mature reflection
upon tae matter, and that we avoid hasty
action concerning it. Free and full con
sultation with our citizens should be held,
and their matured views as to the best
means for the accomplishment of the work
should be ascertained, and only after be
ing assured of the hearty co-operation and
consent of our people, and that no em
barrassment would result to our finances
should we commit ourselves in this behalf.
STREETS AND DRAINS.
The Improvement of our streets, together
with the proper drainage of the same, should
command your constant attention. Noth
ing adds so much to the prosperity and
health of any city as do elegant thorough
fares and good sewerage ; aud Nature hav
ing placed within easy reach of us the best
species of material with which to beautify
and improve our streets, and which, by
economical management, can be had at a
trifling cost, it would seem to be our duty
to use these materials for lasting improve
ments, particularly so when, it must be re
membered, worthy laborers can be provided
for at the same time.
It should first be ascertained how much
can we afford to expend on streets and
drainage, and then care should be taken to
invest the same in a manner to secure the
largest results.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND CHARITY.
Our public schools and the proper care of
our suffering poor must likewise receive
yonr consideration. The morality as well
as the peace and good order of every com
munity depend upon the education of its
people* and we should employ every means
given to us to bring within the reach ol all
the benefits of a liberal education.
What your action shall be in these mat
ters Ido not undertake to say—for, of
course, the encouragement which you will
be enabled to extend to public shools as
well as your acts of charity will depend
entirely upon your financial resources.
In all that we may do whilst we shall re
main the custodians of our municipal af
fairs, let us constantly bear in mind that
Wt are here to enact only such measures as
will tend to the enhancement of the inter
ests of the entire people whom we repre
sent, and not the Interested of any particu
lar class. We have in charge the welfare
and'prosperity of every citizen, and no nar
row minded prejudice or personal partiality
should govern or Influence our actions.—
Above all, let good feeling and brotherly
love actuate us in the discharge of our du
ties. Let us avoid angry debate and harsh
discussion. Let us exercise forbearance
toward each other, and, relying upon a
wlge Providence to shape our legislation
for the common good, let us proceed iu the
faithful performance of the high trusts im
posed upon us by the people of our beloved
city. [Prolonged applause.]
The addrdbs was received with loud and
earnest applause by the audience of citizens
assembled.
On motion of Alderman Butt, the usual
reading of the minutes of the last meeting
of the retiring Council was dispensed with.
Alderman Meyer moved the adoption of
the rules which governed the last Council.
Alderman desired the reading of
the rules.
The rules were then read by the Clerk.
Alderman Butt urged, as an act of cour
tesy to the Mayor, that upon all questions
every member should vote distinctly, aye or
nay.
The question was then submitted, and
the rules governing the previous Council
were unanimously adopted.
On motion of Alderman Lewis, the Mayor
was authorized to appoint the standing
committees at his leisure.
On motion of Alderman Butt, Council
adjourned to the regular meeting, at 7
o’clock this evening.
Girardey’s Opera House.— The attrac
tions of the popular Chapman Sisters ap
pear to be wonderfully increasing, judging
from the overflowing house, that welcomed
them last night in the burlesque of “ Fra
Diavolo.” The Marquis, as personated by
the accomplished Miss Blanche Chapman,
was indeed a dashing gallant with winning
ways, exquisite dress and much fashionable
assurance. Her sister Ella was Zerlina,
the “ Beauty of the village and bar-maid of
the Jolly Brigand,” and with her coquet
tish manner, attractive and graceful ac
tions, sustained to the utmost all that was
expected of a fascinating, frolicsome piece
of femininity. Her “Banjo Solo” showed
not a little musical skill, aud was encored,
as were several of the songs sang by the
Sisters. Beppo, the “heavy ruffian,” was
Bishop’s Beppo to perfection. He is en
titled to the full credit for the conception
of the character, and, with its melo-dra
matic tones, absurdly rendered saws and
heavy tragedy bearing, we accord him his
due. The characters of Lord Allcash and
Lady, Lozenzo, Matteo and Antonio were
great supports in the hands of Kennedy.
Crosbie, and the others.
The Bishop speciality of “ Wanted—l,ooo
Milliners,” contained the very quintescense
of side-bursting fun, which was indulged
in by the entire audience every moment of
the performance. To be fully appreciated
the piece must be seen. No description
can do justice to “Joeßaggs” or “ Mad-
Vanderpants,” “ Tom Tipton ” or “ Miss
Sraithers.”
To-night, the Chapman Sisters have a
joint benefit, with “ Pet of the Petticoats ”
and the latest edition of “ Black-Eyed Su
san.”
The Fires Yesterday Morning.—
There were two alarms of fire in the city
yesterday morning. The first fire occurred
about 4 o’clock, in the yard of the resi
dence of Mr. C. W. Harris, on Broad street,
in some dry goods boxes. It was fortu
nately discovered by Policeman Reynolds
before it had gained much headway, and,
with the assistance of a servant, on the
premises, was extinguished without other
damage than the destruction of the boxes
and the roasting alive of a couple of
pigeons quartered in one of the boxes The
ia sup posed to hay* bodo communicated
by the carelessness of a servant, In placing
ashes in one of the boxes.
The second alarm was at 5 o’clock, and
was caused by the partial burning of a
small new frame house, corner of Campbell
and Fenwick streets, near Dublin Bridge.
The building was the property of Mr. Jno.
C. Galvan, and w s occupied as a bar-room
bv Mr. Jerry Hanlon.- Before the firemen
succeeded in extinguishing die flames, tin
interior of the building was badly burned
and the entire stock and bar-room flWures
consumed. The building and stock are par
tially covered by insurance. It is supposed
that the fire was communicated to the ceil
ing of the building by a stove pipe.
The Result of the Election in At
lanta.—At the election in Atlanta on Wed
nesday, December Ist; Ezzard, the regular
Democratic nominee, was elected Mayor
over his opponents, Alexander, Markham
and Clark. His majority over Markham
was 57. -The regular Democratic nomi
nees for Councilmen were also elected,-with
the exception of Brothertou. The Gate
City has done well.
The following named were elected Coun
cilmen : D. C. O’Keefe, M. S. Castleberry,
J. H. Calloway, Yolney Dunning, N. C.
Anderson, J. G. Kelly, C. P. HoweP,
Anthony Murphy, R. L. Fowler, M. Ma
honey.
Application for Rkleif.— We learn
that an application for relief under a writ
of habeas corpus has been made to Judge
Gibson, in behalf of a German, John Keitz
!er, who was convicted of vagrancy, before
Justice G. A. Snead, some five or six weeks
ago, and sentenced to twelve months, labor
on the public works. The prisoner will be
remembered as having been arvested as
connected with firing the fencing of Mr.
John Phinizy, in the vicinity of the city,
and was generally supposed to have been
laboring under mental derangement at the’
time. The application will possibly be de
cided upon by Judge Gibson this morning.
Writ of Habeas Corpus. —Notice of a
writ of habeas corpus was served on T. C.
Bridges, City Jailer, yesterday morning, in
the case of Atticus C. Tucker, of Edgefield,
S. C., arrested in this city, at the instance
of Wm. L. Parks, on Tuesday night, as a
fugitive from justice from South Carolina,
in connection with a charge of cheating
and swindling. The application was to be'
decided upon yesterday afternoon by Judge
Gibson, in chambers, but owing to the
absence of material witnesses, was post
poned to 9 o’clock this morning.
Post Office Liability.— United States
Commissioner Betts, in a case before him
in New York on Saturday, decided that the
delivery of a letter to an authorized agent,
or the person to whom it is addressed, ter
minates the connection of the post office
with it; and the subsequent embezzlement
by such agent is not an offense against the
United States, but can only be taken cogni
zance of by the State courts..
Fine Meats. —John P. Foster promises
to surpass himself on Saturday, with his
grand display of meats. Those who want
prime articles should not fail to take a peep
at stall No. 1, Lower Market.
More Convict Laborers.—Mr. T. C-
Bridges yesterday morning shipped to the
Macon and Augusta Railroad six negro
convicts, whose sentences range from three
to nirte months.
Personal.— Thos. M. Gill, General Agent
of the Great Southern Mail Line, is in our
city, at the Planters’ Hotel.
Be Careful, Pipers.—A man in Glou
cester, Mass., who was walking and smok
ing at the same time, stumbled and fell to
the ground the other day, breaking his pipe
and driving the stem into the roof of his
mouth an inch and a quarter. An old gen
tleman living at Franklin, Tenn., lost his
life by an accident of the same sort some
years ago.
[From the Boston Advertiser.
Mark Twain.
WHAT HE SAYS IN HIS LECTURE ON THE
SANDWICH ISLANDS.
Mr. Clements devoted the first ten min
utes of his lecture to a painfully accurate
description Os a person afflicted with the
most loathsome form of Oriental leprosy;
arid then he gave five minutes to the nar
ration of a boyish adventure which ended
in his seeing the horrible face of a dead
man in the moonlight. And all this mass
of horror for wliat ? Simply that he might
say that his memory was full of unpleasant
things so linked together that when he
thought of one he inevitably thought of
another, and so on through the entire
series; and starting with leprosy and dead
faces in the moonlight, his mind necessarily
ran through oiher unpleasant things until
it brought him to the Sandwich Islands
and his lecture.
The position of the islands he gave geo
graphically ; but why they were placed so
far away from everything, and in such an
inconvenient space, he declined to consider.
The man who would have discovered the
islands, but did not, he said, was diverted
from his course by a manuscript found in a
bottle; and this, said Mark Twain, is not
the only case iu which a man has been
turned from the true path by suggestions
drawn from a bottle- The Europeau nations
brought into the islands their own diseases,
together with civilization, education and
other calamities. The effect of this, had
been to diminish the native population—
education in particular causing a frightful
mortality as the facilities for learning were
multiplied. But 50,000 natives are now left
upon the islands ; the women, he said, wear
a single garment, made of one piece ; “ and
the men don’t.”
But when the weather is inclement the
men wear cotton in their ears. The hos
pitality of the people he declared to be of a
very high and generous order. A stranger
might enter any house and straightway his
host would set before him raw fresh fish
with the scales ou, baked dogs, fricasseed
cats, and all the luxuries of the season.—
But in trade they were exceedingly sharp
and deceitful—lying invariably from one
end of the transaction to the other; not
descending to common lies either, but in
dulging in lies that are “ gorgeously im
posing, and that awe yon by their gran
deur.” The fondness of the islanders for
dogs he declared to be intense. Dogs had
the best of everything, and were the close
companions of the men. “ They fondle and
caress the dog uutil he is a full grown dog,
aud then they eat him.” “I couldn’t do
that,” said Mr. Clemens, in oue-of his driest
and funniest passages; “ I’d rather go hun
gry two days than eat an old personal
friend in that way.”
At one point in his lecture, namely, in
the midst of a discussion of cannibalism,
Mark Twain paused and said with an in
describable look : “ At this point. I usually
illustrate cannibalism before the audience;
hut I am a stranger here, and diffident
about asking favors.” However, he said,
if there is any one present who is willing to
contribute a baby for the purpose of the lec
ture, I should like to know it now. lam
aware, though, that children have become
scarce aud high of late, having been thinned
out by neglect aad ill treatment since the
woman movement began.
But we must leave the rest to the imagi
nation of our readers, only saying that Mr.
Clemens told two of the funniest of ex
aggerated stories in the most irresistible
fashion, and concluded his lecture with a
few graceful words of thanks to the audi
ence for their attention. Perhaps he is not
a great humorist, but he is a genuine
humorist. The man who can say the Island
er’s dish of plain dog “is only our cherish
ed American sausage with the mystery re
moved,” is one whose reputation fame will
not suffer to die; and if Mr- Clemens can
please everywhere as he pleased iu Boston
last night, he will be sure to make his for
tune if he does uot become a standard
author.
Distinguished Liberality Acknowl
edged.—The editor of the Athens Watch
man thus happily and appropriately ac
knowledges the distinguished courtesies
received as a representative of the State
press, on the occasion of the State Fair:
“ VVe last* week omitted to return our
thanks to the managers of the State Fair for
their distinguished liberality in taking from
us every day half a dollar for the privilege
of entering the Fair Grounds, after we had
published premium lists, proceedings of
Executive Committee, &c., to an extent
which, if charged for at usual advertising
rates, would have amounted to two or three
hundred dollars.
“We are likewise under many obliga
tions to the Central aud Macon and West
ern Railroads for their princely munifi
cence for passing ns over their respective
roads for our money, when on our way to
and from the Press Convention. To the
press of Georgia they are indebted for the
richest harvest in the way of passengers
they have enjoyed since the surrender.
Without the press, there would not have
been a thousand people at the Fair! For
puffing and blowing it into notoriety, so as
to crowd all the trains to their utmost
capacity, editors have been very generous
ly permitted to pass over those roads,
crowded into negro cars, and standing up
at that, for the same fare charged other
‘first-class passengers.’ We owe these
parties, and hereby tender them, our ac
knowledgments for their ‘distinguished
consideration.’ ”
Ice Mountain in West Virginia. —On
the east. bauK of the North river, in Hamp
shire county, West Virginia, is perhaps one
of the greatest curiosities in the State. It
is literally an ice mountain, in height from
400 to 500 feet. The western side of this
mountain is covered with loose stone of a
light color from base to summit. By re
moving the stone, pure, solid crystal ice
can be found iu the warmest days of Sum
mer, and it has been found there as late as
the middle of September. It may exist
throughout the entire year if the rocks
were removed to a sufficient depth. What
seems straDge is, that the side of the moun
tain where the ice is found is exposed to
the sun throughout the day, and it is said
the sun does riot have as much effect iu
melting the ice as continuous rains. At
the base of this mountain is a spring of
water, very clear and cold. Some years
ago the owner of the property removed the
stone and erected a small log dairy or
spring house, in which meats can be kept
at any season as safe as they can be pre
served in an ice house. Flies and snakes
sometimes flud their way into the ppring
house, where they immediately become
chilled and torpid. On being removed
they soon recover life and motion. This
celebrated mountain is situated twenty-six
miles northeast of Winchester aud sixteen
miles from Romney, in Hampshire county,
West' Virginia. —Panhandle News'.
Congressional Representation. —A
special Washington dispatch tp the Louis
ville Courier-Journal says:
A movemeut of considerable importance
among Western Republican members has
just been developed in the preparation of a
bill to increase Congressional representa
tion from the present basis of two hundred
and forty members of *the House of Repre
sentatives to three hundred. The basis of
representation is usually fixed after the
taking of the census, but as the ninth cen
sus will hardly be completed before 1372, it
is intended to pass a bill this Winter
slightly increasing the present basis of
population and providing for three hundred
members for the 42d Congress. Western
men say that under the proposed apportion
ment Blinois, lowa and Wisconsin will In
crease their present representation, while
New England will be reduced two or three
members.

VIRGINIA.
Richmond, December 2. —At the Board
of Trade morning session a committee was
appointed to invite Gov. Walker to vißlt
the sessions of the Board. The committee
found the Governor just leaving city, but
were informed he would visit Board on
his return, in a few days, with his thanks
for the courtesy. Mr. Lawrence, President
o r the National Tobacco Association, was
introduced to the Board. Delegates from the
Memphis Board of Trade were registered.
The business programme was then taken
up.
Tenth Proposition for uniformity of Incor
porating laws. Referred to the Executive
Council.
Eleventh Proposition for a govern
mental department of commerce.
A resolution was adopted that Congress
be requested to establish anew department,
to be known as the Department of Com
merce, to which shall be referred questions
connected with our foreign aud domestic
trade and transportation, and a committee
was appointed to memorialize Congress to
that effect. The proDosition originated
with the Baltimore Board, and was en
dorsed in speeches, by Messrs. Opdyke, of
New York, Wetherill, of Philadelphia,
Hall, of Chicago, Ropes, of Boston, Cook,
of Cincinnati, and others. It was argued
that the Treasury Department had its hands
too full to attend to the mercantile interests
of the country. The commercial commit
tee wanted a department on a footing with
other departments of the Government, with
some eminent mercantile men at its head.
In Great Britain this had been doue, and
John Bright, President of. the Board of
Trade, had been put at its head. The mer
chants of this country wanted a man of
their own way of thinking to lay their
wants before Congress. As thiugs are now,
the mercantile and manufacturing interests
of the country are in particular charge of
professional men, who are not farj|sttai- with
their wants. It was time to lay politicians
aside, at least in these matter* The reso
lution was adopted almost unanimously.
The Cincinnati Board of Trade, Corn
and Flour Exchange of Richmond, and
Commercial Exchange of Petersburg were
admitted to the Board.
The twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fif
teenth and sixteenth propositions, referring
to the improvement by the General Gov
ernment of the Ohio’ and Mississippi riv-
Wf and branging ritd’sume, were referred- to
a committee to be reported on.
The seventeenth proposition, asking the
regulation of railway freight charges by
Congress, was postponed until to-morrow.
Eighteenth proposition. This is from
the Chicago Board, and urges the construc
tion, under a charter from the General Gov
ernment, of a double track railway, to be
used exclusively for the transportation of
freight from the centre of the chief source
of supply of grain anti produce in the West
to the Atlantic, seaboard.
Mr. Richards, of Chicago, addressed the
Board m support of this proposition. lie
showed that in last year two-thirds more
freight was carried' from Chicago East
ward by rail than by water. In ten years
from now not one bushel of grain would
go Westward through the Erie Canal; that
Ohio and Mississippi now carry less freight
than grows along their borders. The rail
is fast doing away with water transporta
tion, which is slower and not cheaper than
the rail. He was replied to by Mr. Monroe,
of Dubuque, in advocacy of the superiority
of water lines.
Mr. Taylor, of St. Paul’s, moved to amend
the proposition so as to provide for a rail
road from San Diego, California, along the
general route of the 3olh parallel, to Nor
folk.
Mr. Wetherili, of Philadelphia, moved a
proviso, thatthe road be built withoutgov
ernmental subsidy, either in money or land.
Mr. Walbridge, of New York, offered as
a substitute, a resolution requesting Con
gress to exercise whatever constitutional
power it possesses in the passage of a na
tional railroad law, authorizing five grand
trunk railroad freight lines between the
Mississippi and the Atlantic seaboard, at
such points as capitalists may guarantee to
commence aud complete these undertak
ings. He said it was the intention of Con
gress, before the war, to have given the
South a Pacific Railroad, but the rebellion
interfered ; but now that the country was
as homogenous as it had once been dis
cordant, the intention should be carried
out. If the South did not get it now, let it
again and again present its petition ; the
North intended it should have justice, and
it would get it.
Mr. Jeffreys, of Philadelphia, endorsed
what the gentleman from New York said
of the feeling at the North towards the
South.
Mr. Kirkland, of Baltimore, opposed the
idea of the .Government building a road.
Many States were interested in roads now
built, and for one, Maryland would not be
willing to see the Government build a road
rnnuing parallel with the Baltimore and
OhloHailroad. Still, he would be willing
to see the Government aid the Southern
Pacific Road, if it had guarantees that the
money would not be squandered.
Messrs. Opdyke and Dave, of Chicago,
Carrington, of Richmond, and Chittenden,
of New York, participated in the debate.
Chittenden said the mind of the country
was running away about railroads; they
would be gotten rapidly enough for mer
cantile purposes without the Government
building them. It was the flood of rail
way bonds thrown upon the country that
would financially ruin it [loud applause],
and this Board could not put itself more
unfavorably on the record before the world
than by endorsing these Government rail
road schemes.
The debate took a very wide range, and
consisted of arguments and statistics to
show the superiority of water transporta
tion over rail and vice versa. After accept
ing the invitation for a trip on Tuesday,
by steamer to City Point, and return by
rail, and an invitation to a banquet given
by the Richmond merchants on Saturday
evening, the convention adjourned.
There is published, this morning, a list
of the State Central Committee of the Wal
ker party, just organized. In it are the

publicans and Democrats, including Hon.

Life Insurance Cos
OF
NEW YORK.
Cub Assets $3,000,000
Cash Dividends 40 per cent.
Has, since her existence of nearly ten
years, given satisfactory proof of the superiori
ty of the principles upon which it is based, as
well as of the solid and honest management of
the Company by her Directors and Officers. It is
acknowledged to be, and has shown that it is,
the most preferable one of all similar institu
tions. In consequence of the honest and wise
management of the Company, it is preferred,
not only on this Continent, but also in En
gland, France, and more so in Germany, for
other Companies of a much longer existence.
THE GERMANI4
offers to the wealthy as well as to the middle
classes—to the merchant as well as to the me
chanic and business man—the best opportunity
of a profitable and safe investment of a capital.
For the first one, THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN of
fers the greatest advantage, as it not only secures
to the heirs, after,the expiration of five years,
double the amount Invested, bat it also secures
to the insured, in proportion to the capital in
vested, A WELL PAYING ANNUITY FOR
LIFE. The less wealthy can, with small pay
ments, by insuring on the LIFE TIME PLAN,
secure for his family a future free from care.
The Dividends of this Company are con
siderable—FOßTY PER CENT.—and the dis
tribution thereof is for the insured so profita
ble, that even after the death of the insured
his heirs will receive a Dividend, (so-called
“ post mortem ” Dividend) which shows that
even the heirs of such insured, who should die
soon after having been insured, will not only
receive the fall amount of the insurance, but
also 33)£ per cent, of the money invested.
This lone statement shows clearly that it is
to the interest and advantage of everybody,
who wishes to secure for himself or family a
FUTURE FREE FROM CARE, to join this
Company as a member.
