The Conservative ticket prevailed in
the municipal election in Knoxville, Ten

Mayor elect.

We return thanks to Hon. Henry li.
Harris for his continued attentions ; also
to Hon. H. P. Bell, of Georgia, for a copy
of hiH Ppooch on the Civil Bights bill,
The New York Jlcrald of Friday has
advices from Washington that President
Grant will nominate Senator Conkling as
Chief Justice, and that Mr. Conkling will
accept. The Herald says : “It is withal
a nomination not to bo gleeful over."
Would it ho consistent in tho Senate,
of tho United States, after virtually re
joc.ting the nomination of Caleb CuRhiug
on account of a letter which he wrote to
President Davis, to confirm tho nomina
tion of Sum Bard us Postmaster for At
lanta ?
The Washington National ]Republican
of Saturday says that tho House Commit
tee of Military Affairs are unanimously in
favor of a thorough investigation of tho
allogod defalcation of Gen. Howard of
tho Freedmon’s Bureau, but are equally
divided as to the tribunal that, would con
duct tho proceeding—one-half the mem
bers Jming in favor of a continuanco of
tho investigation by tho commit too, and
the other half favoring a military com
mission.
A dispatch from Milwnukoo reports the
arrest there of ono Boh Turner, of Po-
tosi, Grant county, Wisconsin, for tho
murder of his brothor Albort. Since his
arroat two more muvdcrs have been traced
to him, and it is said that ho has mado a
confession of a umnbor of other murdors
committed by him which he “remembers,"
and declares that if ho could recall all of
them they would number nearly forty !
Ho boasts of his skill in concealing tho
bodicH <jf his victims and eluding detec
tion so loug.
The Kftilrond Tux bill introduced into
the Georgia House of KoproBeutativos by
Mr. McDaniel, Chairman of tho Finance
Committee, provides for taxing tho prop
erty of the roads, instead of their in
comes or oarniogR, and requires tho
Presidents of tho companies to make full
roturns of tho property of their respective
roads, without deducting their indebted
ness, and to pay to tho Comptroller Gen
eral tho taxes assessed thoroou. It is es
timated that this bill, if passed, will in
crease tho rovouuo of the Slate $ 100,ooo.
According to the New llavon Hegistey
there are in Connecticut “very few
churches which would ho willing to admit
negroes to membership on an equality
with the whites."
This romark suggests tho inquiiy, why
is it that the Civil Bights hill does not
open all tho pews in all ,tho churches to
tho nogroos, ns well as the hotels, places
of nmuHomeut, &o ? Is distinction to bo
tolerated in religion aloue ? lias not
Congress as much right to run tho
chureboH as the railroads and hotels?
Onu’t it solid the negro to Heaven from a
lirst-class pew, us woll as to an earthly
destination in a tirst-olass sleeping car?
The Atlanta Constitution finds iu tho
Comptroller's report tho data for the fol
lowiug comparison of tho values of land
iu sovoral counties and aeclions of G
gia :
Decatur county has the most improved
acres, w hile Bartow’s are worth tho most.
Decatur's 584,519 acres aro worth only
$775,(174, or 5jtl.nL> per aero, wliilo Bar
tow's 233,51)0 acres are worth $ 1,1)1)7,400,
or $8.55 per acre. Burke county runks
next in value. Sho has 553,804 acres,
worth $1,981,1(12. Tho most valuable lands
are in Fultou county, Sha has 103,390
aeros, worth $1,510,722, or $14.01 per
acre.
Thoso statistics show a curious ine
quality in the value of lands iu SvHithoru
and Northern Georgia, tho southern cot
ton lands falling below tho northern cot
ton lauds iu value. Coffee has the cheap
est lauds, averaging only 0! cents per
acre.
GOV. DAY IS' INFAMY.
Wo lmvo already stated tho fact that
Gov. Davis, of Texas, officially “approv
ed" tho election law, under which was
held the late election which lie now de
clares unconstitutional; that ho issued his
proclamation ordering the election in ac
cordance with it, and became the candi
date of his party for ro-eloctiou. But it
appears that liis commitment in favor of
tho legality of the election was oven
stronger than this. IIo recommended to
tho Legislature the passage of tho act in
the precise shape in which it wnseuacted,
as appears by tho following extract from
his message of January 1(1, 1873 :
“1 further recommend that the election
law be amended to permit opeuing of
election polls within each of tho justices’
precincts, and reduce the number of days
of election from four to ono.”
He now ccnteuds that tho Legislature
hud no constitutional powor to limit the
election to one day, and asks Gen. Grant
to use tho military power of the Federal
Government to set aside tho election ! As
Gen Toombs says, such conduct “fatigues
the indignation."
THt SOL Till.ItX CLAIMS.
Tho papers belonging to the claims
\fctoly repotted to Cougress by the South
ern Claims Commission, as allowed or dis
allowed, havo boon removed to tho room
of the 1 louse Committee on War Claims,
where they are to bo examined and re
ported upon by a sub-committee of three
members. It is not probable than an ap
propriation to pay the allowed claims will
ho made till late iu the session, when the
lbird Auditor of tho Treasury will be re
quire^ to state the amount in each case
hefa^ the Treasury cau pay it. Pay
ments will ho mado by Treasury drafts,
which claimants must personally endorse.
Tho Cluims Commissioners recently de
cided that they would take up for consid
eration, at tho beginning of May next,
such applications for tho reopening and
reconsideration of disallowed claims (em
braced in their tbreo annual reports to
Congress; as might bo filed by the end of
April. They require each application to
bo made out on a blank form prepared by
themselves to insure uniformity and ac
curacy in the averments of claimants.
•TATE AID TO RAILROADS.
We hope that there will bo no hesita
tion or delay by tho Legislature iu passing
tho bill introduced by Mr. Peabody, to
repeal tho nets granting the aid of State
endorsements to railroads, so fur as tho
repeal docs not affect rights already vost
od. Tho circumstances of tho country
huvo materially changed since the nets
woro passed, and it may bo considered a
fortunate thing for tho State and the peo
pie that tho railroads havo to such a lim
itod extent availed thfimsolvea of tho aid
conditionally offered. True, there an
several lines of railroad which the poopl
of different parts of the Stato yet need,
and whoso construction would facilitate
commerce and materially aid iu develop
ing the resources of tho country. But
tlioro is no market now for tho Halo of
Southern railroad bonds, and even tho
Stato endorsement would probably bo in
sufficient to command for them a price
that would justify either tho companies or
tho Stato in making tho negotiation. Bo
des, tho oxporionco of Georgia with the
Macon & Brunswick Itailroad, and that of
Alabama and oilier States with rail
roads which they huvo aidod by tho en
dorsement of bonds, show that in all
probability tho State would havo to raise
the money to pay tho interest on tho
bonds endorsed. This would again com
plicate and uiiKottlo tho financial system
of Georgia, now happily working most
auspiciously. Wo havo Hoon from tho
lato reports of Exocutivo officers that if
no such disturbing element is introduced,
tho prosout rate of taxation will yield
sufficient revenue to moot all outstanding
obligations as they fall duo. Lot the
Legislature maintain this equilibrium bo
il tho roooipts and obligations of tho
Stato Treasury, at least until more propi
tious times shall increase tlio revenue.
It iH butter to neglect for a season tho
interests of particular localities than to
aid thorn at ouco to tho serious incon
venience of the wholo peoplo of tho State.
Bepoal tho Itailroad Aid bills, and our
financial system will be a safe and solf-
sustainiug ono in any omorgoncy of
ronsonnhlo probability. But if they are
continued iu force, wo do not know what
embarrassments they may cause beforo
another session of tho Logisluture.
I’llEAl» TRANN 1‘OKTATlO\.
Tho National Convention of tho Ameri
can Chonp Transportation Association,
which adjourned its session in Washing
ton City on Thursday last, was dividod in
roforonco to tho routes to bo selected for
Government aid. Tho majority of the
oomniittoo to whom tho sovoral projects
woro referred, reported generally iu favor
of the improvement of the grout rivers
and lakes, and their connection with (he
sea by a system of oanuls. A minority
roportod ill favor of an enlargement and
improvement of tlio Erio canal and tho
extension of the Illinois and Michigan
canal to tho Mississippi river, tho im
provement of the Mississippi at its month
and olsewhore, and the connection of tho
Tennessee rivor and the Atlantic by a
canal. Another minority report, by Mr.
Whittomoro of Illinois, favorod tho con
struction by tho Federal Government of a
ship canal for largo vessels around Niag
ara Falls, and tho opening of the Gulf
route by the improvement of tho Missis
sippi, Ohio and Illinois rivers. It is
probable that tho same diversity exhibit
ed iu this Convention will bo found to
exist in Congress, and that there will be
no union at this session upon any scheme.
ANNETTE.
Editor Columbia Enquirer: In behalf
of your many lady readers of The Sunday
Enquirer, permit to me thunk Anuotto,
tho editress of your fashion department,
for her woll written and sonsiblo articles.
This true and noble woman, as her arti
cles indicate, will no doubt win from both
soxes their warmest admiration for her
novel and independent articles on the
fashions, domostio culture and health of
my sex.
A goutlomau friend of mine, sixty years
of ago, with half a dozen full-grown sons,
remarked to mo tho other day that ho
does not remember to have over road an
article on fashions until ho saw thoso in
your paper by Annette. Now that column
is the tirst of your valuable articles in tho
Sunday paper he reads, and he would like
to know if the fair authoress is married or
single. If single, he would like to have
the paternal right’ to call hor “daughter,"
provided she and ono of his boys cau fix
up things. Can you give tho desired in
formation ? Martha.
We must inform our fair correspondent
that Annette is married, uud she is, ns
may be supposed, ono of tho best of
wives. The kind words of Martha will
nerve hor to continue in the good work
she 1ms undertaken. —Editors.

Wo take pleasure in calling tho atten

san feelings iu favor of this company, it
gives us great pleasure to record their
good management and succoss. If. wo
had a half dozen movo such companies,
Columbus would bo tho first city in Geor
gia. As it is we feel a very proper local
pride in this one.
—Tho Atlautio Paper Factory, at Sa-

under the superintendence of Mr. C. T.
Huberts. Tho oompauy hopo soon to

Atlanta, January 17, 1874.
Tho Convention question is dead—
deader than any of its opponents could
have desired. General Toombs curses
long and loud. That is a pretty good
sign. Too many local hills are being of
fered. The Legislature would be vastly
improved were it a smaller body*. Lob
byists aro erow'ding here.
Colonel Peterson Thweatt is here in tho
interest of a chum of his own for salary
when ho was Comptroller during tho war.
IIo has an immonso influence, and ho
rnnkos a very plausible case. There is no
doubt about his having been a capable
officer.

Bills were read a second timo and re
ferred appropriately.
A resolution of Mr. Nicholls, that tho
Governor bo requested to give informa
tion regarding suits brought by tho State
and fees paid attorneys, was adopted.
Committee reported Mr. II. W. Mattox
entitled to the seat which is contested by
T. G. Campbell, colored. Mudo the order
for Thursday.
Bills were passed : To amend soction
888 of tho Codo ; to relievo all physi
cians and druggists in tho State who have
heretofore practiced without license.
Bills were lost: To create a prosecution
fund ; to provido for county commission
ers whore counties desire thorn; to arnond
tho act creating county courts.
Among tho bills introduced were the
usual variety-—to amend the Codo, change
tho garnishment laws, and do other things
which had hotter bo let alone. It is a bad
custom to bo forever changing laws. You
never know what they aro.
Twenty-two hills woro introduced into
tho Senate to-day. Among them woro
tho following : To define tho cost of Su
perior Court clerks for recording deods ;
to repeal certain taxes on malt liquors;
to exempt from taxation tho bonds of
cities ; to require all insurance companies
who dosire to establish, to deposit $50,

on Penitentiary to report what should be
done with tho institution.

Fivo thousand dollars were ordered ad

Mr. Peabody, of Muscogoe, rose to a
personal explanation, and in substance
said : In a communication published in
the morning papers, and signed Peterson
Thweatt, allusion is mado to mo and oth
ers rolativo to receiving pay in greenbacks
for servicos rendered iu 18(15. Tho sala
ries of judges nud solicitors were paid
quarterly, on tho first of February, May,
August and November. I, with many
others, recoivod my pay for (he first
quarter of 18(15 in February of that
year in Georgia Treasury notes.—
Tho noxt quartor was duo in
May, but was not sett led until Decem
ber, and thon paid in greenbacks. Tho
salaries wore not changed during the war,
and always were payable in legal currency.
During tho war Confederate and Georgia
Treasury notes were paid, and afterwards
greenbacks. Tho only part for which I
was paid in greenbacks was for tho months
of March aud April, 18(15, being part of
tho first quarter of 1805.
