We cannot notice anonymous commu nications, no matter how meritorioiiR; nor M ill manuscript written on both Hides receive any Attention. When it i« de sired to return communications that are not used, stamps for that purpose must bo enclosed. Wo are always anxious to got news, and such information ns in of interest to the majority of our roaders will always be welcome. The Conservative ticket prevailed in the municipal election in Knoxville, Ten nessee, on {Saturday. Peter Straub is the 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. THE EAGLE AND F1IEN1N. Wo take pleasure in calling tho atten tion of our readers to the splendid exhibit made by the Engle aud Phenix, as will bo soon by tho Secretary’s statement ia an other column. While we have no parti 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- vaunah, is manufacturing a very excellent quality of brown paper from dirty straw, heretofore regarded as valueless. The paper resembles munilla somewhat in ap pearance. Twenty men are employed, under the superintendence of Mr. C. T. Huberts. Tho oompauy hopo soon to havo arrangements completed for making newspaper. — Savannah has arrested two more cow thieves. Tho papers donate eighty Hues each to the.subject of the gang. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Amusement* In Atlnntn -More Pri vate Dills—A Protest of Four—Mr. PentMMlj'ft Explanation-Reel Noses ami Pliaruoli. [Special Correspondence Sun and Enquirer.] 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. Tho young men of Atlanta ure arranging for a grand masked ball in Do Give’s on tho 11th of February. Tho Berger family of Bell Bingers, and Sol Smith Bussell, are here. Neuate. 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, ()()()security with tho Comptroller, boforo being licensed, nud requesting Committee on Penitentiary to report what should be done with tho institution. Houses Golden, of Liberty, moved to reconsid er the protest against tho passage of tho Civil Bights bill, but his motion was laid on tho table. Ho thon moved to striko out tho word colored; also laid on the ta- blo. Blue, colored, read tho protest of him self, Nicholson, Golden, Honrd and Battle against tho passage of tho memoiral Committco on Macon and Brunswick Itailroad consists of Anderson, Peabody, McDaniel, Pierce, Nutting, Jenkins and McArthur. A resolution of Air. Tult, that when Grant, Alexander A Co’s lease of convicts expire, tho convicts bo put to work in tho penitentiary, was referred. Fivo thousand dollars were ordered ad vanced tho Stato printer for work yet to bo done. 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. Mr. Peabody was Solicitor of your Cir cuit during the timo montioued. Many members havo blooming noses, which iu tlaming colors tell their story ; and many are adepts in tho fashionablo amusements of Pharaoh and d. p. Muscogee. A PROCLAMATION. CEORCIA : By JAMES M. SMITH, Governor of said State. Whereas, Official information has been re ceived at this Department that on the 28th day of December, 1873, the common jail of Harris comity was broken open and one W.
