Tine legislature of Georgia, at its late
Rossion, passed au appropriation for the
payment of tho pant due intoroat on the
Macon A - Brunswick Railroad bouds,
amounting to $322,000. The Atlauta
Jlerald expresses tho apprehension that
thore will bo no money ir. tho Treasury
to poy this debt ; but tho Augusta Chron
icle is of the opinion that Gov. Smith
and Treasurer Jones will ho equal to the
emergency, and that the revenue will bo
found sufficient. Wo hopo so.
An intelligent and observant farmer

I.ANUI.F.Y COTTON NII.I.N.
The oillcial roport of tho operations of
tho Langley Mills, of Augusta, for the
year 1873, is encouraging to the cotton
manufacturing interest. Tho proiits of
the year from manufacturing were $112,-
!I2‘J, which was reduced to $101,004 by
Homo extraordinary expenses. Tho capi-
lal invested is $400,000 ; so the not
profits of last year wero slightly over 2.*»
per cent. Most of tho profits of tho
Mills have heretofore boon applied to the
liquidation of indebtedness incurred l»o-
foro itu commencement of operations ;
hut this being now about extinguished,
tho prospect is almost assuring of hand
some yourly dividends (o tho stockhold
ers. The operations of the Augusta and
Langley Mills, and of those of our own
city and vicinity, during tho last year of
panic and depression, are sufficient to
demonstrate tho profit of ootton menu
lecturing at the South when judiciously
managed. In fuot they exhibit a rather
surprising vitality iu tho business, when'
compared with tho losses and embarrass
ments of other iudustrial enterprises.
All the old Directors of tho Mills ^with
the exception of Mr. James A. Gray, for
whom Mr. James T. Gardiuor was substi
tuted) wore re-elected.

The vote of tho Senate on Thursday
afternoon seems to determine the amount
of Treasury notes to bo issued l»y tho
Government. Though the bill has not
yet passed tho Senate, the voto substitut-
ing VI(8*0,000 for $382,000,000 must
be regarded rj r decision iu favor of ex
pansion to at least tho amount substitu
ted. The House passed a bill fixing the
Amount of legal tender notes at $400,.
000,000, on Monday. So wo Lave now au
expression of the iutontiou of both
branches, and their substantial agree
ment upon this amount indicates a speedy
passage of the bill. There is no good
reason to bohevo that tho l'rosideul will
voto it, because it is obviously a question
about which he could ruiso no constitu
tional Her ’/'.os, and one which tho repre
sentative t tho people ought certainly to
doterraii -
The following is the text of the bill
which passed the House on Monday. The
Senate having agreed to tho same amount,
it will now be an easy matter to substitute
tho House bill for its own and pass it
promptly.
“A bill to Qx the amount of legal ten

Wtureas the existing uncertainty onto
whether the amount of legal tender notes

relative, no vanity short of foolishness, of
whioh the gentleman is cover accused,
will warrant him iu believing ho ha*
\ added one loaf to the humorous litorut.’ro
of the duy. The author is too shrewd
ever to have thought of the objects
named, and iu order that this book may
be read intelligently by tho local
readers for whom it was intended, it may
bo woll to review tho antecedents of tho
duel, aud do what the author intentional
ly omittod to do ; that is, state tho facts
that led to Lay's ridiculous fiasco. The
author of “Down the River,” like tho He
brews of old, has selected his scapegoat
and hoot him out into tho wildorness in
the sight of all the people whose sins he
boro, but not one of which did ho com
mit. Lay is tho scapegoat, and whatever
of ridiculo in pencil or pen the book con
tains is aimed at the unfortunato man,
who seoiuH under every cironmstanco to
wrong himself more than those with whom
he is brought iu contact. But the figure
of Lay, oonNpicuoun as it is, cannot blind
uh to tho observance of the figures ho is
intended to hide. Tho recital of tho duel
ling expedition which turned out a farce,
cannot blot out the memory of the terri
ble tragedy that preceded it; and to do
dueling will succeed in blinding them to a
sense of justice.

humor impresses
the hyonu, that shows it* whito teeth to
tho moon aftor having robbed a gravo. ,
Hero is the tragedy. Let us hoo, after
wards, if the farce can make us forgot it. j
In tho Inttor part of May, 1873, a young i
man named Hooper deemed himself
wrougod by some slanders, which ho !
imagined—whotbor tightly or not, ha*
nothing to do with tragedy—that an old ,
man iiamod Phillips had put iu circulation.
Hooper invited, or caused this old man to !
moot him iu the Court House campus, at
Opelika, and tliero he demanded that the
old man should retract tho story he had
originated or repeated. The old man
refused, anil thereupon young Hooper,
tlio brother of the author of tho farce,
became the author of tho preliminary
tragedy, for he drew out a pistol, placed
it to the breast of the uuariuod old man, !
aud killed him dead, aftor tho most ap
proved tragedy style. There was a pre- /
liiuinury hearing, in whioh the mass of
tho evidence, principally from old aud ;
disinterested ladies, wout to establish tho
good character of tho slandered girl. ,
Of course old ladies aro the host judges
of such things. Tho killing was not do- ,
niod, and Judge Strange, with character- I
istic precaution, released tho young man, !
who killed Phillips, ou « uominnl hail, j \ „ f „
Our readers may remember wo reforred paid to the Storkholde
to the case in some paragraphs that exci
ted comment at tho time, and indeed they
innocently got us into a little nuploasaut-
nosH, we wero so green about this method
of judicial proceeding, aud then wo never
dreamed thore was to bo a farce
to make us laugh away the fooling*
aroused up by tho tragedy. Not satisfied !
witli killing tho old man who left some i “
children and a wife behind him, a friend
of young Hooper wrote au article, accom
panied by cortificntoa, iu which he nimod |
to show that old Phillips deserved death, j .
he was such an awful old Lothario. Now, 1 x
Phillips, tho dead man, had a nephew iu j
Atlauta. and theso articles, reflecting ou r«
the character of his dead undo, were i
brought to his notice, and they very natu- i “
rally provokod. “It is bad enough,” he 1
said, “ to kill my uncle without trying to
damn his oharaetor.”
Here tho tragedy ends and the farce be
gins. We refrain from drawing tho poor
widow and her orphans into light as a fit
ting climax ; for, be it remembered, we
are simply reviewing a book. By a man
named Lay, Captain Phillips aont a lotter
asking for a retraction or a fight. Tho
letter is not published. But tho momeut
the opposito parties begau to treat with
Lay, they acknowledged two things—
first, that Lay was a goutlomau; and seo-
ond, that they acted under tho code. The
party, aftor many proliminarios, to evade ttaVINO no OIUoo in the City m pri**nt,
