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 ings. • ♦ * 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 Judge Cobb. The jury has been em pannelled, consisting of twelve up right men. In a few days we will learn the result, though it is supposed the losing side will take it to the Su preme Court. —ln IX7I the census of the city of Savannah stiowed there were 2,500 dogs in the city, yet tho tax was only paid on KBN. 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. A Difference.- General Sheridan figures out that more than 4,000 polit ical murders have been committed in Louisiana since the war. He gives no names, and tlie Picayune,utter inves tigation, cannot find but 60 victims, a large number of whom were white men assassinated by negroes. ,♦ - The Sparta Times and Planter sug gests that some of tlie zealous tem perance members of the Legislature introduce a bill to prohibit tlie sale of liquor within three miles of the Capitol'biiilding. 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.

That Louisville Hook-Finding said to boa Nwindlint scheme. 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 ! eompanied it.

He arose from that chair looking more like a white man than when he enter ed, but feeling considerably less. —, ♦ 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. —A grocer stepped out of his door yesterday just as a boy had filled his pockets with apples from a barrel, and lie shouted : “Here ! you have been stealing apples police! police!” “Don't, holler out that, way!” replied the hoy, as he put the apples hack. “Bill bet me that my pocket wouldn’t hold three old suckers, and I was just trying to see.
