Atlanta, Ua., Ja.ii. 15,175.
A day of welcome sunshine han
done much toward making people
hero more contented with themselves
and hotter disposed to others, and
has enabled them to discard the
thicker wrappings and shoes lately
found necessary, without serious fears
of inereusiug the prevalence of a
throat and tt4sal disease seemingly
akin to the “epizoot.” The sidewalks
already are Incoming jmxiuylij pass
able, and it Is hoped the streets will
lie helped to follow suit.
Business appears to be brisk, and
Whitehall crowded with pedestrians
and vehicles.
The thro Houses of the General As
sembly have plunged in media rex,
with the annual croppings out of
patriotism, buncombe, and little de
lightful enterings to the taste of the
“dear people.”
In the Senate the standing com
mittees were announced. Hon. Win.
SI. Beese, the Nestor of the Henuto,
at his own request was relieved of
the chairmanship of any committee;
which is unfortunate, as among his
other good qualities lie is an effective
and indefatigable worker. Sir. Wof
ford, a prominent lawyer of Carters
ville, was made chairman of the Ju
diciary Committee; while the Hon.
C, V. Ktbbee, of Hawkinsville more
familiarly known as “Charlie” an
active, industrious and talented Sen
ator, was put at the head of the Fi
nance Committee. The two commit
tees mentioned, being the most im
portant, are joint committees—the
member named as sueli from the
Senate being the chairman ex officio.
Your immediate Senator, B. H.
Crawford, Esq., has been placed on
the committees of Finance, Banks,
Military and Engrossing.
The Senate passed a resolution
raising a committee to investigate
and report, at the present session,
on the validity of the State’s
endorsement of certain bonds
issued by the Macon and Brunswick
Ballroad Company, to which I re
ferred yesterday, In accordance with
the recommendation of the Governor.
I like one feature of tills resolution.
It provides that the committee ,shall
report to thin session thereby avoid
ing lengthy sessions during vacation
at, heavy expense.
Mr. Black, of the 17tli district, in
troduced a Louisiana resolution,
when, on motion, all resolutions on
that subject were referred to the Com
mittee on Hie state of the Republic.
Bills on the usury question, as well
as to modify the Homestead law,
were also read in each house.
A large number of bills were intro
duced iu the House, but few of gen
eral Importance. A resolution, also,
for the appointment of a committee
to suggest a time for adjournment,
but despite this resolution, which
seems to be a little early, it is predict
ed thatithe session w ill be a lengthy
one, as many matters of Importance
will be presented for legislation.
By reference to Treasurer Jones’
report, you will find that the balance
in the Treasury January 1, 1875, was
one million throe thousand one hun
dred and twenty-eight dollars and
eighty-eight cents, instead of the fig
ures 1 gave you yesterday.
The public debt falling due here
after is $8,105,500, upon which is to be
paid ill 1875, $070,885 besides such an
amount of unpaid interest on railroad
bonds endorsed by the State as the
roads have failed to meet. It seems
to be agreed that early action will be
taken in this last, mentioned matter
and proper menus prtnided.
Comptroller Oenernl Goldsmith's
report shows an unexpected increase
in tha taxable property of the State.
Wldle a few counties report a de
crease, by far the larger number
show a large increase. Much of tills,
however, must be attributed to the
effect of an net imssed at the last ses
sion repealing all exemption laws.
That report makes the following
exhibltfor Muscogee county, for 1874 ;
Increase in value of city proper! y over
1873, $66,775.
Increase in amount of money and sol
vent debts over 1873, $90,478.
Decrease In value of merchandise
from 1873, $159,638.
Decrease In number of hands em
ployed, 451.
Increase In value of stocks and bonds
over 1873, $35,090.
While in the value of all otherprop
erty (personal) not enumerated, ex
cept annual crops, the decrease in
Muscogee is $30,43(1; but the increase
in the aggregate value of whole prop
erty over 1873, is. $*56,439.
Y'ou will doubtless have those Re
ports and can furnish your readers
with much more full information,
than I can now give vow

The Hknuv Cxjtavs Failuhf. The
New York Tribune states the rumor
is confirmed that the assets of Henry
Clews will not yield the creditors
more than twenty-live cents on the
•dollar. Some persons having oom
imrativoly largo claims against the
llrm have offered to settle for less
than one-quarter of the amount duo
them. An examination of the secu
rities embraced in the schedule dis
closes the fact that many of the stocks
have no market value, and are not
dealt in by responsible houses. The
so-called “secured creditors.” it is
stated, will not fare any better than
the inseeured, ns the securities are
mostly the same line of railroad and
Southern stocks, claims, notes and
evidences of Indebtedness of railroad
officials and Irresponsible persons,
not negotiable or valuable In busi
ness transactions, and having no
market value.
•tfsT as Wi: Suspect® We thought
' bad whiskey was the real Inspiration
I of Bully Sheridan’s banditti epistles,
and hero is t ho strong circumstantial
evidence. The Brooklyn Arym knows
i all about the little banditti bully, and
It says; “If Sheridan were put In a
elder press and thoroughly squeezed,
It is calculated he would yield enough
whiskey to last Grant and Chandler
twenty-four hours.”
The same paper says: The “Bum
mer’s Club” of Chicago, atv taking
advantage of Little Phill’s absence to
satisfy their thirst, and that the fol
lowing, by “One of ’Em,” Indicates
tiie satisfaction which liis departure
gives;
Como broach the “rosy” and pour it free,
There’s a chance now. boys, for you ami me;
••Four Angora deep” in th*’ guage to-day,
For Sheridan's many ft mile away.

It is of the first false step.that the
country must beware. As Senator
Seliurz said to the Republican ma
jority ia Congress in reference to
their schemes for maintaining power:
“Y'ou did not mean to do it by the
Russian method ; bnt from small be
ginnings something has grown up of
near kin to It -a few steps farther
and you may have the whole. If you
do not want to go on, then I say to
you it is the highest time to turn
back. It will not do to permit such
tilings as wo now behold to pass
without rebuke and resistance; for to
permit them is to urge them on.”
Keoi a. The Chicago Timex states
that a wealthy man from New York, j
named Rvqifti is trying to buy the
Senatorship from Florida. The Con
gressional delegation from that State
must lie running Requa, instead of
legislating at Washington. Where
the carcass is there are the buzzards.
• ♦ *
Brute force, as Senator Seliurz
Hays, is one way in which disturb
ances in the South can be suppressed.
There is no power that can resist the
United States Army. But is brute
force the best way to maintain or
der? If the South must be controll
ed as Russia controls Poland, then,
as Mr. Seliurz says, it would be "a
cruel stroke of irony to call the
United States any longer a republic.”

The Washington corresi 'undent
of the Augusta OuixtUiUiuiuit'-xl an
nounces that Mr. Stephens lias suc
ceeded in having Augusta re-estab
lished os a port of delivery. This
was done under an old law, that has
strangely been permitted to remain
inoperative since the war. A surveyor
of customs will be immediately ap
pointed, bnt Mr. Stephens think, it
would not be best to bring in a bill
for the erection of a custom house
during the present session, which lias
nearly run its course. The smile eor
respondeat, in referring to Mr. Ste
phens’ health, says: “He has been in
the House each day since the re
opening of the session. He dined out
Christinas day, and made some calls
on New Year’s day. His room, when
lie Is in it, is very rarely without
company, men of each political party
constantly calling on him, mid a
great miniy ladies also. His table is
piled up nil tiie time with letters from
all parts of the country, which he
answers promptly, with liis own
hands or through liis secretary, and
linils time to contribute an article oc
casionally to the great Universal Il
lustrated Cyclopedia, which A. J.
Johnson A’Son, of New York, are
publishing, and of which he is one of
the editors. He plays a rubber or
two of whist, every day, in which
lie usually eontes off victorious. He
thinks tiie political situation very
grave indeed, but Is still hopeful of
the eventual triumph of constitu
tional liberty if the Democratie party
will bo guided by wisdom, justice mid
moderation, and the (leoplc of the
.South, especially,will be prudent and
patient, and rely upon tiie ballot and
j the peaceful instrumentalities of the
law to remedy all their grievances.”
So far from subsiding, the storm of
popular indignation against the in
terposition of Federal troops in the
organization of the Louisiana Legis
lature gathers strength each day.
Tiie whole subject of Federal mid
State rights is concisely but ably
treated in the annual message o’f
Governor Joel Parker to the Legisla
ture of New Jersey, and the Governor
denounces the New Orleans outrage
in lltting terms. The Pennsylvania
House of Representatives adopted a
dignified but, emphatic protest byh
strict party vote, the Republicans'in
that, body as in the Semite of New
York not having the courage to array
themselves against the Administra
tion even on an issue of sueli vital
importance. Governor Hardin, of
Missouri, alludes to the subject in his
inaugural address, declaring that the
outrage lias given to Republican in
stitutions the most alarming shock
they have ever received. The Boston
indignation meeting is to bo held on
Friday night, and the call therefor is
receiving the signatures of Influential
Republicans.-- Xcw York Tribune,

On Monday last Air. Carl Seliurz
made a speech in tiie Senate of tiie
United States which finally placed
him without question at the head
of the orators of that body. It shed
more credit upon the State of Mis
souri than all the speeches of all the
Senators, with perhaps one except ion.
whom Missouri has ever sent to Wash
ington. It was the strongest, ablest,
most brilliant defense of Conserva
tive principles and the rights of the
South which lias ever been heard in
either house of Congress since the war
ended. It made him, or at least
showed him to be, the most valuable
man in the country at this moment
to oppose the lawless tendencies of
tiie Administration in the Southern
States, and to work for the recogni
tion of their rights to self-govern
ment. There was not a State in the
Union but might onv\ Missouri her
l Senator.
His term expires on the Fourth of
next March. The Legislature now
iu session in Alissouri has the iiigii
privilege, if it will, of re-electing him.
Tire majority of that Legislature
agree with every word of that mag
nificent exposition of principles with
which Afr. Seliurz on Monday gained
the cordial admiration of the country.
Hut liis name is not mentioned or
thought of at Jefferson City for re
election. The names which the Mis
souri legislators are weighing and

EVIDENCE OF THEIII EXISTENCE IN THE
COAL REGIONS RECENT ATROCIOUS
MURDERS OFFICERS WAYLAID, lIEATEN
AND SHOT IN OPEN DAYLIOUT DUNSTA
BLE MARCHER'S STATEMENT.
Potthville, Pa., Dee. 26. -The fol
lowing Is the statement of Constable
John T. Kareher, made to a eorres
jm indent in regard to the recent do
ings of the Molly Maguires. Consta
ble Kareher is cue of the bravest and
most daring officers in this part of
t he country, und Ills expu-ienee with
the Molly Maguire organization ena
bles him to tell more of it than tiny
other man inthisseetion. Mr. Kuivh
er bears the following testimony :
"I know that the Molly Maguires
exist among us ami can prove it be
yond all question from my own per
sonal experience. Coroner Hesser,
burled yesterday, was "assuulted lust
week and his body cut and hacked in
tiie most terrible manner by parties
who will never be known. A day or
two ago the Chief Burgess of Toma
qua was knocked down and beaten
by unknown men, while It was only 1
yesterday that John Lefteubwrger
ivas shot twice in open daylight, by a
man named Britt. Leltenberger met
Britt at Heeksherville and deinuSided
an immediate surrender. Britt swore i
that if Leitenburger dared approach 1
him he would kill him with the shot- !
gun he held primed ami cocked in his
hand.
Leitenburger bravely attempted to
fulllll bis duty, when Britt discharg
ed one of the barrels full at him. The
first shot tore the victim’s hand and
fearfully lacerated one of his arms.
Without waiting to learn the effect of
the first shot, Britt, with deliberate
aim, fired the second, which took ef
fect. in Leitenburger’* groin, causing
him t" fall. As lie fell he fired with
unsteady aim, and then, In opm day
light, the would-be murderer made
liis escape. A warrunt was at once
issue,! for his arrest. Despite the sur
mise of many, Britt did not flee the
place, but, oil the contrary, np|wared
a few hours later, armed with two re- ;
volvers and a gun, and defied the
whole place to arrest him. He para
ded the streets and walked up and
down the railroad all day, but no one
ventured to. lay a hand on him. Offi
cers Price and Darling went after
him, but he was such a buttery In
himself that it would have been fool
hardy for them under the circumstan
ces to have attempted his arrest. 1
left here to catch him this morning at
4 o’clock, but upon my arrival he had
gone, and, though I searched the
town everywhere, I could not find
him.
“During the lust three years 1 have
arrested more than twenty murder
ers, and not one of them bus been ex
ecuted. I have seen numerous letters
addressed to different parties bv the
Mollies, all of which were ,•( the
bloodiest and most brutal nature.
Why, let me tell you a single ease in
point. There wasa young man who
lived in this neighWrho 1 formerly,
by the name of Bradley: along with
a man named Farrell, he went one
day to a funeral. Farrell, after the
services were over, invited Bradlev
home to supper with him, and upon
arriving at the house asked him to
take a chair at tiie table. Bradley
did so, and Farrell, excusing hims. jf,
went up stairs. Presently lie earn •
down carrying a shotgun.
Without one moment’s warning,
Farrell discharged both barrels into
Bradley's body, instantlyd,filing him.
Not satisfied with tins, he took a large !
curving knife and hatchet and cut !
the corpse iu two parts, carrying the
upper extremities to a remote place
in the woods, und throwing the lower
ones down an air hole. Was Farrell
hung? No! A little while ago, a;
man and itis wife were walking
along the railroad—indeed, it was
only a day or so ago, when they were
attacked, the poor man killed, liis i
wife outraged by a brace of ruffians,
and no one arrested for either crime.
Can you tell me after this that the
Alolly Maguires do not exist. 1 know
they do exist? That when they
fear to do crime themselves, 1
lest they may fail to be detected,
they Import strangers to carry out
their purposes, who fiv the country
at once the deed is done. Why, I
tell you the thing was proved clear as I
daylight, in the trial of Little Hale, at j
Bloomberg. His was a crime for the
perpetrator of which a large reward
was offered. One of the parties iden
tified with, influenced by the money
offered for the expose, crime forward
and gave liis companions awa\ before
the court on the witness stainl. He
clearly stated where the Mollies met,
und how they wore organized. Ilis
name was Tim Dooley. He also told 1
how when crime was to lie committed,
they would draw lots to see who
would do It.”
Now, while our pious friends are
slandering tiie Mouth, and writing
letters of abuse about our people, it
will be well for them to have a spe
cial copy of the above testimony in
relation to the Ku-Klux in Pennsyl
vania. There, in the very citadel of
civilization and art, and almost in
hearing distance of the White House,
these wholesale murders are carried
on, und even when caught the perpe
trators go unpunished. How is it we
never see any thing of this kind in
their papers? Do they have poor
laws there, or have they venal judges
and cornu>t juries? No; it is Penn
sylvania, and of course it is all right.
Point to any set of men in the South
who tire guilty of such horrible mur
ders as these. Men sometimes mur
der here when excited by liquor or
stung by insult, but there "they com
mit murders upon helpless women
and children for gain.
“Senator Gordon’s apology is ac
cepted. The public are glad that lie

Why do you not speak of Senator
Gordon in the terms of perfect respect
that his character and liis good man
ners, his slneerety and his manliness,
would warrant? Uf one thing the
ixlitor of tiie Journal may be assured
it is not popularity that Senator
Gordon is struggling for. Cinrinnnti

A Standing Army Dangerous.
Grant’s threat to concentrate the ar
my in New Orleans, and “leave the
citizens of the States ou the Indian
border to protect the frontier them
selves when the spring opens,” at
once displays the worst qualities of
the President with whom the coun
try is afflicted, and shows the peril
to a republic which a standing array
may be in time of peace.
The present use of this instrument
of despotism to overthrow the sove
reignty of States the people may ef
fectively curb by ordering, through
Congress, the removal of every Uni
ted States soldier from the South and
the concentration of them in the hos
tile Indian country, where alone they
are needed.
I Let the Representatives and Sena
tors of the Forty-third Congress re
-1 member that the people will now ex
pect them to order the armv out of

A singular story of jealousy and re
venge comes to us from Sicily. A
beautiful voting girl named Fiorina,
. who was tiie belle of a traveling clr
; ells, ill which she figured us the lion
j tamer, had been for some time re
ceiving the attentions of no athlete
belonging to the same troupe. By
j some means she ascertained that he
was not faithful to her. but had
another lady love. No signs, how
ever, of her painful discovery were
allowed to escape. Mile still smiled
sweetly upon him, but responded
coldly to his ardent carresses. In her
own bosom she planned a terrible re
venge. One evening recently when
the performance had been unusually !
brilliant after Fiorina hud whipped I
the lions and forced them to Heat her ;
feet, she called her recreant lover
aside and said to him: “Do you love j
me?” “Always,” hoanswered. “Do
yhi know that I should die if you i
should devote yourself to another
woman?’’ "What an idea!” ivspon- j
ded tlc young inau. “Rut l .should!
; first kill you,” said Fiorina. “And 1
how would you do that?” “Thus!”
! cried the girl, at the same instant
| pushing.him violently into tlio cage i
|of the lions. They attacked the uu
: fortunate man at once, and tore him
! to pieces, while Fiorina urged them j
j on with blows of her whip.

The pretty little maid of honor!
whom the Grand Duke Alexis mar
ried ail unbeknownst to the old
folks, appears to be as spunky as she
is beautiful. Alexis, it will be re
membered, was sent to America that !
he might forget her, but while that!
plan cured the Grand Duke, it did!
not npjiease his bride, who was sent !
out of the empire by a special train.
She went to Geneva, and recently it :
appears that Count Hhouvaloff was |
scut to treat with her. It was pro
posed that she should renounce all j
elaim to the hand of Alexis, should!
change her name mid disappear. In
return for this service, she would re
j eeive 1,000,18)0 roubles down, and an
annuity of 76,000 roubles, which
| would lie continued to her child ini
ease the latter survived her; but!
Mrs. Alexis wouldn’t do it. She!
loved Alexis too much for that, und
so matters stand at present,—Boston

Whose Bov is That?- He may be
seen any day, in almost any part of j
the city ; he never makes room for
you on the sidewalk; looks at you
saucily, und swears smartly if asked
anything; he is very impudent, and
often vulgar to ladies who pass; he
delights in frightening, and some
times does serious injury to, little
boys and girls; he lounges ut the
street corners, and is the first arrival
! at a dog fight, or any other sport or
scrape; he crowds in the |**>t-offlee !
iu the evening, atul multiplies him- |
xelf und his antics at such a rate that
people having legitimate business are i
crowded out; he thinks himself very

Mr. Bekcuer on Revivals. At the
; Plymouth Church prayer meeting on
Friday evening, the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher dismissed the subject
or religious revivals. In which lie did
not hesitate to express the opinion
; that revivals were “gut. up." “But,'
j said Mr. Beeelu r, “so was business,
so was everything else. Of course j
they were got. up, and there was!
nothing worth having In life, that
was not procurable ill that wav. Re
: vivals were but the lower forms of
! religion, but they were immeasurably
better than lethargy.” He referred
to tiie great influence which large
: bodies of men exercise upon each
other when liound up by a common
feeling of patriotism, which nerves
| them on to deeds of the noblest and
most self-sacrificing character, und
lie believed it was perfectly proper to j
j make use of the same agencies m ad
vancing the interests of religion.
