PAID FOR IN ADVANCE.
It la HUggeated (hat a hall in behalf of
Ihe Library would be more profitable than
a Fair. We would like the views of bouio
of our lady readerH on this point.
Tux aik of Columbus is ladened with
the positive odor of guano. Wo recently
heard a colorod barber Bay ho was really
fond of it from a business standpoint, ,
“for it makes do bar on head grow twico
as faster as when dar am no guaner in do
atmosphero." Daldhoadod men should
note this fact, and, if the barber's thoory
bo correct, it may booouie the fashion for
gentlemen to wear a little of the invigor-
ator in their hats.
TiiKnE is a rumor that the I hues and
■JHeaj/une are to be consolidated. We
hope this is true, for at pronont neither
one i« making money, nor hove the influ
ence one Btrongor paper could wield. A
paper fearlessly and fairly conducted in
New Orleans, and with support enough to
keep its head well uut of wator, would do
more to ornsh the infamous ring than a
now election or a favorablo Henato de
cision.
Con. PrrKnsox ThweatT, in a com
munication to the Atlanta Constitution,
complains, with Homo bitternoss, of the
treatment received by his claim for pay
ment of his salary as Comptroller for the
quarters immediately preceding the down
fall of the Confederacy. Jiis complaint
1h that his bill was referred to thoT'iuuuco
instead of the Jndioiury Committee,
that Mr. Nutting, Chairman of tho Fi
nance Committee, prevented its transfer
from his to the Judiciary Committee by
unfair ineaiiH. Col. T. wanted a report
upon the legality of his claim, which cor-
taiuly scorns to be fair and duo to him
Ho says that he will ask tho next Legisla
ture to permit him to tost the rightful-
ness of his claim in I ho courts.
Thk triumph of Ben Butler in tho con
firmation of the nomination of Mr. Sim
mons as Collector of the Fort of Boston,
is not likely to quiet the agitation on that
question, in will intensify opposition l
Butler iu Massachusetts, and muko him
enemies elsewhere. Tho Portland J*reM t
one of tho leading Hepnhlicnn papers of
Maiuu, culls tho nomination “more thor
oughly disreputable" than any tho Presi
dent has ever made, and states with om-
phasis that the party has uo further use
for Beast Bntlor.
This (Simmons squabble is a personal
quarrol which we do not fully understand.
But wo know thnt Butler’s opponents for
the Guhoruntorial nomination iu Massa
chusetts last yoar charged that n number
of Boston dalogatos favorable to Butler
were secured by tho active exertions of
Foderal officials in that city, of whom
{Simmons whs one, and tho presumption
is that it was for this sorvico Butler
wanted to reward him with the Colloetor-
ship, and the President gratified Butler
against tho protest of both tho Uonators
and a majority of tho Representatives
from Massachusetts.
Thk Atlanta Herald highly ootninonds
tho oourso of Gov. Bmitlr in practically
vetoing some of tho appropriations mudo
by tho Legislature. It says that ho “ran
his pon through" tho items appropriating
money to pay clerks and othor officors of
tho Legislature mileagt, also some private
oiaiiuH for which appropriations wore
made. Wo are clearly of tho opinion that
tho paymeut of mileage to officers of tho
Legislature ought to bo stopped. There
is no justice in it, iunsmuch ns those re
ceiving tho pay do not go to Atlanta ns
officers, but only as cuudidutus, before
their election, and lifter llu-ir election
they are puid it liberal per (linn. Some
of them coutinue to draw pay after the
Legislature has adjourned. The payment
of mileage, too, will lmvo a demoralizing
effect by encouraging the rush to Atlanta
—already too groat—to get office at tho
hands of tho Legislature. It would he
but a stop farther in the same direction,
to allow the defeated candidates mileage
too, and thou Atlanta would bo over
whelmed with thoui.
Of tho justico of tho appropriations
to pay private claims, we enu form no
opiniou until wo learn tho nature of tho
claims.
YOI'K DUTY.
To morrow wo will send postal cards to
all our Daily subscribers in arrears, ask
ing them to pay their subscriptions or
notify us personally or by letter of the
tiuio when they can be paid. .Self d
fouso impels us to adopt a strict

fool all the better if they join with us in
bringing about cash payments, at least
for small sums. After Saturday
HON. A. II. STEPHENS VH. THK
| I.ENSKKN Of THE MTATR ROAD.
A short time since it tv*s announced
that Goo. Toombs hud filed a bill against
Lessees of the Wostoru A Atlantio
Railroad, on behalf of tho Seago combi
nation. This is tho company that bid
higher for the road than tho present Les-
s, hut whoso bid Gov. Bullock reject
ed, because its proffer of security was not
made in the form requirod by him.
w the Atlunta papers anuounco that
Toombs has instituted another suit,
in behalf of Hon. A. H. Stephens, against
the Lessees. Jt will bo remembered that
Mr. Stephens was one of tho Brown Com
pany of bidders, and that when many of
the press of the State denounced the
lease, ho surrendered, or offered to sur
render, his interest to the Htato. His
ground of complaint now is that neither
ho nor tho State has ever received any of
the profits of his share of tho Lease;
that tho othor Lessees requested Gov.
Bullock to transfer Mr. Stephens' interest
to George II. Hazlohurst,and Bullock made
the transfer; that neithor the Governor
nor tho Legislature had any right to do
this, and that tho transfer is uttorly void
and Mr. Stephens is entitled to one forty-
sixth part of tho profits of the road under
the loaso. The bill asks for an examina
tion of tho books, Ac., and claims one
million of dollars, or some othor large
stun, to bo ascertained.
Tho question arises, wo suppose, did
Mr. Stophons ever pay anything into tho
fund of the company ? or did ho not for
feit liis intorost by failure to act
contribute? Did Hazlehurst pay any
thing, and by participation in tho risks
and expenses of tho company become
bonajhlc partner iu tho lease? The poo-
plo nro not likoly to judgo of tho merits
of Mr. Stephens’ cnae from tho mare le
gal aspect presented—from tho nice
points upon which technicalities or form
alities are balanced.

Important to Those Who Draw Notes.
A man drew a note promising to pay one 1
hundred dollars, llo used tho prfbffcd
form and did not close up tho blank de
voted to dollars, and, after passing it as
negotiable paper, somebody inserted
“and fifty" after the one huudred and be
fore the printed word dollar. The note,
thus altered, got Into the hands of an in
nocent party, who presented it to the
drawer, and the Supremo Court decided
that the maker of the note was liable fur
its faco, beoause through negligence ho
did not draw a line between the written
word “dollars.” Any testimony that the
drawer might offer to establish tho fact
he gave tho noto for ono hundred dollars
must go for nothing, as “there was noth
ing on the faco of the note to hUow that
it had boon altered.'’ Evidence of an
alteration on the fuoo of the note would
have changed tho case. Let this be a les
son to all drawers of promissory notes.
No ono can bo too careful in such matters.
— Haiti more Eeicn
Tho Judge who made that decision
should bo impeached. It simply tolls tho
villains, of whom there aro muuy all over
the country, that if they find a Chance to
alt or a check by writing in a word—a hun
dred or a thousand—they can do so, and
tho court will justify them. ^At least, tho
court will hold tho forgery to bo legal,
and force tho party who gave tho original
check, (for a loss sutn,; to pny the full
amount of tho forgery. There appears to
bo fraud enough in the country without
legal decisions to encourage them.—

A strange bill has been introduced in
to tho California Legislature. It provides
for the “suapensiou of the penal code,’’ so
far as it relates to ouo llarry Meigs, a for
mer resident of the State. It also pro
vides that ho shall not be indicted for any
offeuses committed before Ihe first of
January, 1 >7f», except murder, and tho
courts are instructed to dismiss any iu-
dictiueuta that may have been found
against him. Twenty years ago Meigs
was a bold speculator, and no outrageous
ly swindled many persons that there was
an earnest desire to have him lynched,
and ho had to leave tho State. He went
to South America, whore ho built railroads
and mado an immense fortune. He then j
paid all his old creditors with interest, aud !
now that he ia a nullionare, the Californi- I
uns want him to return to his old home. '
If the bill should be passed, a curious pro- j
cedent will be established, which may !
some day raise the question of exactly j
how much money a man must be worth
before the Legislature ef a State cun par-
don him for criiuoa iu advauce of convic
tion thereof.
