The ladies ol Columbus hold u
meeting to-day in the armory of the
Columbus iiuafiU, to dovUe qoi*
means by which a monument can be
greeted to the uicmyry of the heroic
dead from Columbus. Every lady
that utu will lie vretunt, for the wo
men of the South have ever been
right. They have never learned to
glvv ujAtJMr, mtaqtotet, r to soori
flee rhfthi for fjaTrcy, And whenover a
good work of this kind is inaugura
ted, they enter into It* mieoesa with
their whole ao*i|.
'The jfram (Tufy antnsimple gruti
tude we owe our 4ead haw been suf
fered to rest too long. Our women
are the projier persons to take the
matter In hand, and they have deci
ded to do so. They have a ifreuliar
graee auii bistiant. ter sue.li works of
love and devotion, and in all ages
and elimes this sail task has been
left to woman’s hand. When they
meet this morning they will decide
what is best tp be done, and devise
means for its speedy accomplishment.
No mutter what they decide upon,
the Times stands pledged to endorse
their notion, and to lend every aid in
furthering the good work. It requires
nothing to stir our people to ft sense
of their duty. They ftre always keen
ly ullve to it, but on acecßnt of the
poverty of the South fear that the
people eappot afford any pecuniary
assistance, hot never doubt their wil
lingness and hearty approval of any
undertaking that looks to commemo
rating the sacred dead of tile Soutli.
These meetings and our articles are
gotten up afld written only to suggest
plans by which the object of our peo
ple can be effected under the existing
hard times, without placing beyond
the teach ol all. the opportunity to

From afl parts of the State,
the press cries aut agalnst the re
enactment of the laws, though
nowffnd f fifth ft /After is vehement in
its abuse of the yiresenf Astern.
There iiro many good reason*, pro
and eon, but to our minds, we are in
favor of the law allowing money to
bring its own value in the market.
Our main reason for such tin opinion
licit In' the ftftTfftl tfiat phoney is as
much ntuna’ft property as anything
else he owns, and what, Legislature
would undertake to regujate what a
farmer shall rofteU'ft for ids cotton,
Ills corn, or his mules V If wo are suc
eessfulin life,and have stored our suc
cess away In gold and silver, instead
of land anil mules, wo should have
the, option ojt getting for our mo
nejr as rtpieh as ft will bring In she
maftkot, as well as the man who has
for sale his lands and mules. Al
reuejy 001. K. i’. Huge, of Ful
ton, lias introduced a hill in
tlie Legislature to tlx the rate of
interest in this State to seven
per cent., and re-onacting the Usury
law. The bill will lie sufficient, but
our Legislators should learn that, no
matter if they pass a thousand laws
against usury, it will not prevent usu
ry. If they would enforce such a law
and thus override all constitutional
law, let them pass a law compelling
capitalists to loan their money at a
certain rate of interest to any one that
calls for It, for if money is not proper
ty, it is subject to the use of anybody
who cuu take it from you. If it is
property, the Legislature lias no con
trol regulating its use to any greater
extent than taking it from the citizen
and disposing of it to suit themselves.
Col. Sawyer, of the Commonwealth,
puts a practical question to Sir. Hoge,
as follows:
“We know a mall who lias live hundred
bushels of eom to sell for $1 per bushel
rash, or $1.50 ou twelve mouths' time. The
same man has a neighbor who lurs SSOO to
lend at ISH , |M>r (lent, (wr annum. Colonel
lloge's bul.it passed, will not allow the
one to exact 1 iy, i>er rent , for lilh money.
WUI Colonel Hoge also Interfere and pre
ventthe other from (extorting 50 percent,
for Ills corn ?’’
All those in favor of the usury law
will find a stumbling block In their
way in this query, when they go to
solve the means to prevent usury,
and the fairness of a law prohibiting
the lending of money above a certain
per cent.
Admission ur Colukado.— The popu
lation of Colorado, says the Nashville
l/nion, according to the census of
1860, was 34,277. That of 1870 gave it
39,864. At the same rate of increase
it would now have a population of
something over 41,000. We hove in
Tennessee two counties, Davidson
and Shelby, each of which nearly
doubles Colorado in population. It
will be seen from this comparison
what a glaring wrong the present
Congress meditates in admitting this
Territory os a Staten the Union for
the purpose of securing two addition
al Radical Senators.
Wenpeli. Phii.lips. The chief
point made by Wendell Phillips, in
his Boston harangue, at Funeutl Hall,
was that if any outrage had been
committed in Louisiana, it was the
effect of bad laws and not executive
usurpation. Ho ohurgod, the people,
if they wished to denounce properly,
to brantl’Congress and not Grant.
The meeting compromised matters
by branding them both.
The Republicans in the House are
displaying great ability in dodging
the civil rights bills. One is in a po
sition to be passed by a majority vote.
The other requires a two-thirds vote
to bring it from the Sl>eaker’s table.
They are making desperate lunges
for the latter, knowing it canuot be
reached, and fighting shy of the for
mer, which it is in their power to
pass any time. Strategy!
IOI'K ATLANTA I.KTTF.K.
Hik , i:l4C' 1 i u(i* D.oi.y rim - l
Atlanta, Jan. 24, 1875.
I omitted to state that the Supremo
(ktolrt met Wednesday, and adjourned
over until the first Monday in Feb
ruary. This Court is one of the most
laborious in the State—their entire
time being occupied in hourlng all
sorts of eases and listening to argu
ments of cotHisel. To give an idee
of their duties, We refer to the docket,
which during last year had upon its
pages five hundred cases—nearly two
eases for each day and in each a de
cision hod to bo given, the case in
vestigated, and a written opinion de
livered. This is too much for a Court
composed of three men to undergo,
and we think the Legislature would
do wise in putting some restrictions
on writs of error. As the law now
stands all can appeal, no matter how
frivolous their claim, and besides
hampering the courts, retard the col
lection of honest debts. Will not
someone move in the matter?
Your Representatives, Messrs. Craw
ford, Grimes and Williams, are at
their post, discharging their duties,
and, making for themselves a name.
Senator Crawford was among us last
session, and distinguished himself as
an able man and a good financier, he
being on the Finance Committee.
The other two, Messrs. Grimes and
Williams, wi ll represent Muscogee.
Mr. Grimes is a young man of decided
ability, and though attentive to his
duties, represents Columbus in socie
ty. Judge 'Williams has Only spoken
once or twice in the House, but his
speeches have been listened to witli
attention, and lie promises to be a
leading man in tlie House.
The great question yesterday was in
regard to tlie election of State Print
er. The telegraph has already in
formed you that the Ihraid and Au
gusta Conxtitulionalust combined, and
were elected over Mr. Estell, of the
Savannah Morn, and the Atlanta f.Vm-
Htitation. There is great dissatisfac
tion hero, about the matter; not so
much to the gentlemen elected as the
manner of the election. The press
and the people demand that tlie Leg
islature will let the printing to the
lowest bidder, ami thus not ouly save
thousands to the Htate, but give every
body an equal showing. The election
was hold subjeut to a bill introduced
by Dr. Baker, of Bartow, the sub
stance of which bill is to let the bid
ding to the lowest bidder after duly
advertising notice of tlie proposal for
thirty days. We hope Dr. Baker will
not abandon his bill, but that he will
press it to a vote. When lie does, we
feel certain the Legislature will re
voke the election, and save money to
the Htate by passing the bill.
The members of tlie Legislature
Were surprised to find on their desks,
a circular from Mr. C. B. Howard,
charging Gov. Smith with fraud, in
the matter of the distribution of State
laws. Mr. Howard presents a strong
case, aud no one knows what will be
the result. The friends of Gov. Smith
not communicative on tlie matter,
and lienee wo don’t know how the
Governor will accountforthis charge.
The Legislature has taken no action
in the matter, but we understand
they will, at an early day, appoint an
investigating committee. Tho Gov
ernor lias approved several bills of
minor importance, while no bill that
ollcits public interest has passed ei
ther House. Like last session this
will sit and talk, and in tile last few
days of the session hurry through
bills, iivaiiehu rush, that next session
they will have to be repealed. Atlan
ta is still knee deep In mud, and if it
continues raining it will bn impossi
ble to navigate. Several (ienXlts in tlie
city yesterday, which created some
alarm. (’uiigl'esstnan ShiflS is quite

Michigan's new Senator, who will
succeed Chandler on t he 4th of March,
is Isaac H. Christ ianey, for seventeen
years past one of the Judges of tho
State Supreme Court, and part of the
time Chief Justice. He lias been
elected to this position twice by the
unanimous vote of both parties. In
polities, he was originally a Demo
crat, but has been a Freesoiler and
then Republican. Ho is sixty-three
years old, and a resident of Lansing.
Ho is understood to be in favor of
hard money and a revenue tariff, and
is conservative on constitutional
questions. He is a man of marked
ability.
The Atlanta Herahl says that Col.
Livingston, of Newton, proposes to
introduce a bill which shall provide,
that when a man is sued and judg
ment is obtaincil against him in a
lower court, from which judgment lie
desires to appeal, ho shall not be nl
lowed to do so until he has given the
plaintiff an indemnifying bond
for full amount in suit. This U only
omj feature of Mr. Livingston's law,
the whole purport of which is to ren
der eusy and certain the collection of
money that lias been loaned. This,
Mr. Livingston believes, is the best
way to reduce the rate of interest.

Recognition or Cpba.—The agents
of the Cuban Republic now in this
country, are making strenuous efforts
to procure the recognition of that
Republic by the United States. A
pamphlet is prepared for circulation
among the members of Congress, in
which it is shown that the Republi
can army in Cuba amounts to seven
teen thousand, foot and horse. A
list of successes in the field during
the past year is given to show the
prowess of the insurgents, and while
it is urged that they have partly es
tablished their rights to recognition
as belligerents, it is asserted that
Spain is as impotent to put an end to
the war now as she was six years
ago.

Tlie Association of Hurt Ivin* Kx-C'on
federates.
At u full mooting of the Executive
! Committee of the Survivors’ Associa
tion of ex-Confedorate Soldiers, held
| in Atlanta Saturday, Gen. Lawton,
Col. Hardeman, Col. L. .1. Glenn,
Col. J D. Waddell, Col. H. I>. Capers,
Capt. C. C. Kibboc and Capt. John
Milledge, secretary, being present,
Instructions were given to tlie secre
tary to proceed at as early a day as
possible to publish an address, di
rected to the ox-Confederate soldiers
in Georgia, requesting that in each
county a roll should be made of all
who desir eto join the association, by
registering their names and paying
tlie initiation feeof twenty-five cents;
and that the roils be forwarded on or
before tho Ist of June, 1875, to the
secretary at Atlanta, so tiiat a con
solidated roll might lie mado up by
the time of tlie meeting of tlie asso
ciation at Maeou during tlie holding
of tlie next State Fair. It is hoped
that a sufficient amount will ire real
ized from this source by the time of
the meeting of the next State Fair to
establish a home for the disabled and
indigent of that class. The small
amount of the sum required enables
all to unite themselves with the asso
ciation, and thus not only perpetuate
the memory of the cause for which
they struggled, but establish a home
of refuge for those whom misfortune
has stricken.

Wendell Phillies writes a long
letter to the Boston Aih'rrtwt pro
testing against the passage of any
“civil rights” bill that does not resist,
upon mixed schools. He says the
Southern whites will not destroy their
common school systems if such a bill
Is passed, culls their remonstrances
“bullying bluster,” and gives as a
! reason why they can’t do it, t hat they
haven’t the power. “Six or seven
thousand negro voters are not easily
thwarted,” he adds. All Of which
proves that Wendell is still the same
old ass he always was. Let him and
his pass sueh a hill, and see whether:
or not we have the power.

The commission of engineers on j

a half million each for Arkansas and |
Mississippi, to close existing breaks j
ami crevasses.
It is a cause of general eongral illa
tion at the Soutli, that Sinek (’handler,
of Michigan, lias been defeated for
the United States Senate. The good
people of that State have wisely eon-1
eluded to keep Zaek at home, and
thus rid tlie respectable portion of
the Senate of a most infamous slan
derer of Southern people, and South
ern institutions. His successor, Judge
Cliristianey, though a Republican, is
of liberal ideas, and our exchanges
say conservative in his views. All
are certain that tlie change Is for the
better, for there could have been no
worse, not even Butler mid Sheridan.
1 state Hoaril ol Ifrnltli.
We find the following article in the
Atlanta Constitution on the bill re
cently introduced in the House by
Dr. Thomas, of Chatham. It should
certainly be passed:
Dr. Thomas’ bill, which is pending
in the House, provides for the ap
pointment by the Governor of eight
physicians as Sanitary Commission
ers, who, with the Comptroller Gen
eral, Attorney General and State Ge
ologist, shall constitute the Hoard of
Health of the State of Georgia. This
boanl shall appoint a Secretary, who
shall be a physician, and shall receive
a stated salary. The commissioners
shall serve eight years, and are to re
ceive no salary, but the actual ex
penses i>f any member, while engaged
in the duties of tlie board, are to be
paid. The board shall nave cogni
zance ot't he interests of health and
life in the State, and shall investigate
the causes of disease, and especially
of epidemics, the sources of mortali
ty, and the effects of localities and
employments upon the public health.
It shall give information of any
threatened epidemic to the health
officers ot the ports within the State.
The board is also given the supervi
sion of the registration of all births,
marriages and deaths. The secretary
of tho board shall be the superinten
dent of registration of vital statistics,
and the Comptroller General shall
provide for the clerical duties and
safe keeping of this part of the work.
On the first Monday in December of
each year the board is to make a
report to the Governor of the vital
statistics, anti sanitary condition and
prospects of the State, together with
such information anu recommenda
tions as it may deem proper anti use
ful. Other sections of the bill pro
vide for the gathering of sanitary in
formation through the local health
officers and managers of various pub
lic institutions. Tlie subjects of san
itary drainage, and of ventilation ot
public buildings, are also within the
scope of the powers of the board.
The bill contains stringent provis
ions to compel physicians, coroners
ami ordinaries to report all vital sta
tistics that can bo gathered in the
course of their respective duties, to
the board. We need not urge at this
lute tlav the value of vital statistics,
either for sanitary or economical pur
poses; nor need we urge the useful
ness of a supervising board of health
composed of the best, medical and ex
ecutive talent of the State. The mer
its of tlie proposed law must be ap
parent to every reflecting mind. To
neglect the gathering of the custo
mary vital statistics argues a degree
of unhealthfulness that alarms the
prudent who are looking this way for
homes. The details of Dr. Thomas’
bill may not be perfect; but in tlie
main we believe it well adapted to
tlie wants and necessities of tlie State.
We hope it will have a careful hear
ing, and will eventually find a (dace
in the statute books. An intelligent
supervision of the public health as
provided by this pill must surely be
beneficial.
