LARGEST DAILY CIRCULATION
In City and Niiburla.
O\K THING BADLY NEEDED IN
< Old HIM H.
It is a very easy matter for one to
find fault, arid make suggestions
about tlie management, of the city,
and to devise moans, on paper, for its
progress. In this instance we have
no fault to And, nor any suggestion
to make relative to the management
of our city affairs, but simply to
suggest a thing badly needed in Co
lumbus.
If our readers will recollect the
cities of the Soutli that have made
most progress since the war, they will
call to mind the fact that all of their
railroads centre in the business por
tion of the city. It may seem idle to
say that this is the cause of their suc
cess, but we do say that to that fact
they owe a great deal of their
prosperity and commercial notoriety.
Here In Columbus, a stranger on a
day train coming into the city passes
through, oblivious of the attractions
of the place. Yesterday we met two
gentlemen wiio have traveled through
the South for fifteen yeurs, and
through Columbus about as often,
and never knew its size or impor
tance until, on their recent tour, they
were prevailed upon by a fellow pas
senger to lay over here a day. They
were at onee delighted with our city
and her people, and hereafter Colum
bus will be one of the principal cities
in their route. Last week a similar
circumstunec was told us, with the
additional fact that the gentleman
was so much pleased that, he left with
a view of returning and bringing with
him his family to permanently reside
among us.
Then why not some of our large
property holders set on foot a plan to
aid tho railroad companies to buy and
erect a Passenger Depot either in tho
Court House square, or on tho old
Oglethorpe lot, or in some other lo
cality? It would pay tho property
holder adjoining such a location to
buy the site ami make a donation of
it for railroad purposes. It would
pay thorn, for the reason that the lo
cation of a general depot would in
crease the rents and value of the sur
rounding property. It. would benefit
the city, for more people would see
our manufactories; and about the
trains it would create a bustle which
would enliven the city, and give to it
a business appearance that would
beget business. Will not somebody
start the ball? The railroads, if en
couraged by our citizens, will come
into tlie city.
Academy fob the Bund. Wo are
In receipt of tho twenty-third annual
report of the Trustees of tlie Georgia
Academy for the Blind, located at
Macon.
The Trustees, through their Presi
dent, Dr. J. M. Green, give a fair re
port of the operations of tile institu
tion, while the accompanying report
of Prof. W. D. Williams, the Prin
cipal, is replete with the wisdom of
such a noble charity. Tho indigent
blind are admitted free, being sup
ported upon State appropriations.
Those who are able to pay, are re
quired to pay $250 per annum. The
institution is well managed, and such
is the general comment made by all
who are acquainted with its work

Gordon's Offer. It is reported
t hat Senator Uordon has “announced
his Intention to write a letter to Wen
deli Phillips, inviting him personally
to make an extended tour through
out the Southern States, and give the
public tho benefit of his views con
cerning their condition, particularly
with respect to their government, lie
says he has abundant faith in Mr.
Phillips’ integrity of purpose and
ability to correctly state tho impres
sions the result of a trip of this kind
might have upon ids mind. He lias
not yet concluded whether ho will
make tho letter a confidential com
munication, or give it publicity after
it shall have been written.”
Phillips is rieli; but if Gordon does
not offer to pay his expenses, tlie in
vitation will be respectfully declined.
“Again, I have beat accused of being
f/A onhj murderer on the floor,” incau
tiously complained Ilutler, closing
the debate on the Civil Bights bill, j
and lie went on, without denying that
he was a murderer, to contend that j
one other member of the House, if!
not a murderer also, had at least
counseled murder! We hardly neod j
say that Butler’s contention was j
false. Misery loves company, but
does not always liavo it.
We are in receipt of several com
munications which will appear as
soon as the names of the authors are
made known to us. We cannot pub
lish any communication, no matter
how trivial, unless accompanied by
the name of the writer. The writer's
name, of course, will be held in se
crecy.
We are again placed under obliga
tions to Hon. H. B. Harris and Sena
tor Gordon for renewed favors in tlie
shape of Congressional documents.
We are always glad to receive them,
and to learn from them what is doing
in tlie national capital.
The trial in the contested election
in Bussell began yesterday before

OIK WASHINGTON I.KTTEII.
Washington, Feb. 13, 1873.
a struggle for life dead at last !
In recording tho opinions, aims and
acts of the Representatives of the Re
publican party in this Congress, at
tills particular juncture, a man runs
the risk of being thought by the su
perficial reader to boa mere partisan
writer more anxious to encourage his
purty than to state truth; because lie
makes statements ono day that he
contradicts tho next, indeed, often
makes contradictory statements in
the same editorial or letter. But that
it is not the writer’s fault; for it must
be remembered that in referring to
tho Republican party in Congress, he
does not attempt to record the condi
tion and purposes of a healthy, vigor
ous organization under a clear-headed
and acceptable leader, united alike on
principles and on well-defined meas
ures for giving peace and prosjierity
to tlie country, but the fitful vagaries
of a party “struck with death,” and
having, therefore, no other aim than
self-preservation, by any means, and
at whatover sacrifice of principle.
That lias been about the condition of
the Republican party since the fall
elections. Hence I have been obliged
to suy, one day, that the Senate Re
publican caucus has determined oil a
certain course in regard to Louisiana;
on another, that tho House caucus of
the same party had resolved so and
so, in regard to Arkansas, Mississippi
or Alabama; und, a few days after, I
have been obliged to record a modifl
oation or radical change of purpose of
tlie party on uccount of its having
been discovered that, on certain meas
ures, the President and some influen
tial Senators and Representatives
would not abide by the decision of a
Congressional caucus. Perhaps lam
describing the condition of the Re
publican party in Congress more as it
was two weeks ago than as it now is.
Since tlie passage of the Civil Rights
bill by the House, it has been no lon
ger moribund, but dead—dead, I mean
as an organization; every member
| acting on bis own hook. Some con
i triveto fight bravely to the last for
! the “lost cause;” others have organ
ized themselves into little bands for
the future support of their respective
favorites for the Presidential race of
’7o—Grant, Blaine and Conkling, and
these cliques detest and malign each
other more than they do the Demo
crats and Liberal Republicans. A
dozen or more of these demoralized
persons meet together three or hair
evenings a week to devise some meas
ure to introduce to the House which
will afford them an opportunity to
vote with the opposition, and to dis
solve for all time their connection
with the Republican party. Last, but
not least, there is an industrious
clique comprised chiefly of men who
retire from public life on the 4th of
next March, never to enter it again—
scum which tlie anomalous state of
affairs in tho South, growing out of
J the late war, raised temporarily to
j the surface. These men are banded
| together to take advantage of the late
1 modifications of tho rules of the j
House, and rush through, during tlie j
last few days of the session, as many
as possible of tlie numerous schemes
for plundering the people to which I
have heretofore referred -any bill
that “there’s money in.”
THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL
is not so sure, ufter all, to pass the
Senate. Grant will exert ail his in
fluence to have the mixed school
clause inserted; not that he expects
it to be passed in that form, hut that
his game, now, is to appear tlie cham
pion of the negroes and tlie white
extremists of the Republican party.
Butler and he have been hob-nobbing
frequently since the hill passed the
House; and pains have been taken to
make the leading colored men be
lieve ttiat Grant is in favor of the
mixed school clause, and that, if they,
the negroes, desire it, he will veto the
bill if sent to him in its present form, I
provided it reached him soon enough j
to have it sent back to Congress and ;
amended before the close of the ses
sion. But the intelligent darkies here
have been wavering some time
in their faith in Grant. They say:
that, some time ago, before the party j
became altogether demoralized and '
disrupted, and when Grant was per
suaded by his parasites that he could
he re-nominated in ’76, he did not
hesitate to express his hostility to the
Civil Rights Bill, and to declare that
he would veto it, if sent to him forap
j provul; and that only after the Re
| publicans, even in Massachusetts, re
buked bis third-term aspirations by
going over by brigades to the Opposi
tion last Fall, did he pronounce him- I
self favorable to the bill, thinking
thereby to force himself upon the No-1
tional Republican Convention of col
ored men. The darkies here think
Grant’s course in Louisiana and his
late message on Arkansas affairs are
prompted by tlie same motives. 1
The faith in the Republican party is
also growing “small by degrees, and
beautifully loss,” although they still
have confidence in here and there an
individual member. They say, and
truly, too, tiiat if Congress had re
ally wanted to pass tlie Civil Rights
Bill in its original form, it could have
done so years ago, when its majority
in both Houses was overwhelming.
They are particularly indignant at
the ingratitude of the scalawags and
carpet-baggers who voted against the
bill in tlie House, even in its present
modified form ; and it is hardly to be
wondered at, for none of these men
could even have been elected a con
stable by tlie white voters of the Con
gressional Districts which they mis
represent. Finally, the most intelli
gent of the colored men of Washing
ton, some of whom are among the
chief officers of their National Com
mittee, intimate pretty strongly that
their people are rapidly progressing
to the conclusion that the best thing
that they can do, under the circum
stances, is to vote solidly against the
next Republican candidate for tho I
I Presidency, and give tho new-depart
i ure Democracy u trial.
JOHN YOUNG BROWN, OF KENTUCKY,
lias received friendly and encouraging
letters from nearly every Stato in the
Union in relation to Ids controversy
with B. F. Butler, for which lie was
censured by a vote of the Republican
majority of tlie House. No one pre
tends not even Mr. Brown himself —
that ids language was strictly parlia
mentary ; hut, whatever tho rules of
the House may lie, its custom has
been, ever since it lias been under
Republican rule, to pass over unno
ticed language not only as denuncia
tory us that of Mr. Brown, hut more
violent and threatening in tone and
gesture, and- what Brown’s was not
---often coarse and vulgar. Tho par
tisan malice that actuated the Repub
licans in this matter will be apparent
when it is considered that the injured
B. F. Butler is one of the most foul
; mouthed men in the House. His
! attacks on Bingham of Ohio, and
Farnsworth of Illinois, both of which
I heard, contained perhaps tlie most
brutal and insulting language ever
used by one member of a legislative
body to another. And he is at it all
tlie time. And Dawes, who intro
duced a resolution to expel Brown, is
not so bad as Butler only because lie
does not know how to be; he has the
requisite vulgarity, but not the abil
ity. Hale, of New York, who intro
duced the vote of censure, is also a
violent and vindictive speaker, eter
nally quarreling with someone. The
Democratic side of the House tried
in vain to have read, at the Clerk's
desk, choice extracts from speeches
of these three chief persecutors of
Brown Butler, Dawes, and Hale of
New York that tlie House might
compure their language witli that of
Brown before voting on the question
of censuring him. But the Speaker,
who wants to make all the Republi
can friends he can between now and
’76, ruled tho reading out of order.
So Brown got a censure, which is
equivalent to his re-election to the
Forty-fifth Congress. He has been
already re-elected to the Forty-fourth
Congress. A. F. B.

Dogs and their Cost. TlieSt. Louis
Globe has been making some calcula
tions for recent statistics on this ques
tion, and sums up, in reference to the
State of Missouri, as follows;
Our 400,000 dogs furnish one of the
most important economic considera
tions now affecting the State. In the
first place, they militate against the
mutton annually to the extent of at
least $5,000,000; secondly, they cost,
at an averge of twenty-five cents a
week, $6,500,000 —enough to run all of
our common schools and leave a large
steulable surplus; thirdly, they slay
annually through hydrophobia at
least 120 persons, which, at $5,000
each—the average price paid by rail
roads for tho very iioorest of brake
men -amounts to the further sum of
$600,000. Here is a direct expenditure
of nearly $7,750,000 for dogs, not to
mention the tines, costs, ami more re
mote sentimental damages resulting
from lawsuits about dog-lights ami
severance of friendship between the
owners of the combative curs. Capi
talized, our dogs represent a waste of
$80,000,000, and invested at compound
interest their worthlessness would pay
off the national debt before 1900.

Special dispatch to tho Chicago Post and Mail.)
New York, February 2. The whole
secret of the extraordinary reward of
£I,OOO in gold for the recovery of a
certain hook said to be in the United
States, and to contain full exposures
of scandalous practices on tlie part of
some members of the English royal
family, is out at last. The whole busi
ness throughout is simply an adver
tising dodge of a speculative firm of
hook-sellers in Nassau street, in this
city. They have obtained possession
of a copy of a work that was suppress
ed during the reign of George the
Fourth, and which contains some
raev accounts of royal scandals. One
of the partners struck the shrewd idea
of securing an immense amount of
free advertising for the book by eaus
ing to he issued a semi-official offer of
a large reward for the recovery of the
only copy said to be in existence.
This was done, ami everybody knows
what an unparalleled success has ae

The Ml ran-cr-I of Duel-.
Perhaps the most remarkable duel
ever fought took place in 1803. It
was peculiarly French in its tone,
and could hardly have occurred un
der any other than a French state of
society. M. le Grandpre and 31. le
Pique had a quarrel, arising out of
jealousy concerning a lady. They
agreed to fight a duel to settle their
respective claims; and, in order that
the heat of angry passion should not
interfere witli tin- polished elegance
of the proceeding, they postponed
the duel for a month, the lady agree
ing to bestow her hand on the sur
vivor of the two, if tlie other was
killed ; at all events, this was inferred
by the two men, if not actually ex
! pressed. Tlie duellists were to tight
in the air. Two balloons were con
structed exactly alike. Ou the day
denoted Le Grandpre and his second
entered the car of one balloon, Le
Pique and his second that of the
other. It was in tlie garden of the
Tuileries, amid an immense crowd of
spectators. Tin* gentlemen were to
fire, not at each other, but. at each
other’s balloon, in order to bring
j them down by the escape of gas; and,
as pistols might hardly have served
this purpose, eaeli aeronaut took a
blunderbuss in his ear. At a given
signal the ropes that retained the ears
were cut, and tlie balloons ascended.
The wind was moderate, and kept the
balloons at about their original dis
tance of 80 yards apart. When half
a mile above the surface of the earth,
a preconcerted signal for firing was
given. M. le Pique fired, but missed.
M. le Grandpre fired, and sent a ball
through Le Pique's balloon. The
balloon collapsed, the ear descended
witli frightful rapidity, and Le Pique
and his second were dashed to pieces.
Le Grandpre continued his assent
triumphantly, and terminated his
aerial voyage successfully.

Also, the homestead of the said Seaborn Jones .
in the Bth district of Muscogee county, bounded j
on the south by the Coweta Reserve, containing
175 acres, more or less. The dwelling house has 1
a slate roof, and cost at least $ 20,000. It has fif
teen rooms, including the basement, one well
fitted up lor a green house. There are copious
springs convenient, which once supplied a fish
pond, now dry, hut into which the water may be
again admitted at a small expense, and the pond
is capable of groat enlargement without much
cost. I suppose about half of the land is cleared;
the balance is wooded, mostly in long leaf pine.
