Times are dull--exceeding dull. Stagna
tion stares us in the face. Something evi
dently must be done. Tilings cannot ad
here and exist long in tile present state of
abnormal quiet and almost death-like still
ness. What are wo to do for the Summer?
As everything promises to grow duller
and duller until it reaches an ideal of ab
solute dullness, wo suggest that some of
our enterprising young men who constant
ly complain of the hard times go into tho
business indicated by tho following ad Ver
mont from the Atlanta Vonstitution. The
thing is bound to be successful, and re
quires a very small - outlay of capital.
While engaged hi it, a hmn can lounge
around in the shade perfectly careless of
the general complaint of hal'd times, dull
ness, or any other of the evils that afflict
mortals. There is not the slightest dan
ger of financial failure or bankruptcy in
this business. It is a safe, sure, and speedy
way to obtain the beginning of an inde
pendent fortune. A good general idea of
this lucrative business may be gained
from the following:

Howard Williams, of the Columbus
Times, attended Judge Hopkins’ court
yesterday. Jlo was engaged as counsel in
an important ease, and so much taken up
was he with tho clarion voice of Tom Glenn
and courtly style of Hopkins, that, when
he came out, he picked up a hat about two
sizes smaller than the original measure of
his head. If the Columbus folks could six'
him with his little hat marching up to
Hopkins' court they would lay down and
whoop.

From all indications now visible wo pre
dict success for our experimental boo of
to-morrow night. The armory will t>e
full and the fun is sure to be Immense. Of
course tho managers of the bee will offer
some prize for him who outspoil* every
body else. This ought to bo done by all
moons. Merit ought always to be re
warded, and wo don’t think these mana
gers are tho men to ignore tho claims of
Justice. There are some famous spellers
among the enlisted contestants. ‘Upon
the whole, the quality ofj the selling
is apt to be good-much better than that
of tho average bee. This is a high tribute
to the intelligence and spelling proclivities
lof our community. Tho chief marshal,
who has boon selected, is a well known
gentleman of this city, and ho says he is
impatient to be clothed with the supreme
authority with which he will he invested
on the approaching momentous occasion.
It is hinted that after the classes lidve
failed they will seize the learned gentle
men by whose wordy assaults they were
overcome, and retaliate by putting them
through a most thorough examination.
In our opinion this is nothing but justice,
and of course the learned gentlemen will
not object to it.
They havo a bee In Atlanta two or throe
times a week. Of the last one the Com
monwealth says:
The spelling bee last night was a finan
cial success if we may judge by the crow
ded house that assembled to witness the
performance. Tho fun was good, but the
spelling on the whole was poor.
We hope our bee will be equal to the one
spoken of in a financial point of view, and
excel it in the quality of the orthography ;
there exhibited. The committee who seem j
to be the managers of the affair have i
chosen Worcester as the authority for the !
occasion.
The price of admission will be low, and ;
everybody ought to attend. Proceeds will j
be donated to the Memorial Association. •
A Whale.
Yesterday afternoon a young son of Mr. j
J. (J. Porter, and another boy went out on
the branch which runs near the cemetery, j
to practice with a pistol. They stopped at :
the foot of the hill just beyond the eem-1
etery and commenced shooting. After;
firing a shot or two they heard a conside
rable spluttering in the water. They
looked in the branch and in a little j
hole which was near the roots of a
tree, they discovered a huge fish flounder
ing about. They captured him without j
any difficulty, and bore him to tho city j
on a forked pole, with all tho glory of boy- j
ish triumph. The fish was a monster of!
the buffalo species, and weighed nineteen
pounds. This is certainly the largest fish
ever caught in a branch. It was pur
chased by Mr. James T. Cook, the butcher.
When cut open a largo dish full of roe was
obtained. Of course the fish was not bred
in the waters where he was caught. Du-;
ring the late high rise of the river he man- j
aged to get into the braueh and swam too j
high up to get back. The boys that caught
will be the heroes of the day.

r lVncleV Convention.
This important body, composed of a
very largo number of intelligent and ae- !
complished ladies and gentlemen, willj
hold its ninth annual meeting at Griffin, in j
the hall of the Female College, on 4th, sth i
and Gill of May next
There is a strong probability that tho at
tendance both of delegates and visitors
will be very large, and the exorcises unu- i
sualiy interesting. We suppose that, as j
usual, the railroads will carry those at- j
binding the convention to Griffin and re- j
turn for one fare.
Those conventions are invariably pleas
ant, entertaining, and highly instructive.
Those skilled in tho art of teaching meet
the best modes of instruction, and in the
discussion of various literary topics. They
arc productive of much good, and surely
tend to an enlargement of views among
the instructors of the youth of the coun
try. We have no doubt but that these an
nual meetings of our teachers will do
much toward improving them, fitting them
for a better discharge of their high and re
sponsible duties, and hence will greatly
improve the general education of tho coun
try. The Instruction generally received
by children in this State, even in the ele
mentary studies, is too often sadly imper
fect.

TITLE TO WATER LOTS.
By Alderman Brannon—
WlioreuH, a question has been raised as
to the rights or the city in reference to the
water lots in this city, and tho duties and
obligations of the parties holding said lots
under the grants from the city; and
whereas, it is proper on the oue hand that
the rights and interests of tho city be duly
ascertained and protected; and it being a
matter of public Interest that the question
of the title to said lots be definitely and
certainly understood. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Finance Committee
be, and tiiey are hereby instructed, to en
quire fully and investigate all the mat
ters touching such rights of the city, and
report to this Council what steps or action
it may be necessary to take in reference
to the sumo.
Adopted, anil on motion referred to the
Finance Committee.
Tho undersigned Committee, to whom
was referred the resolution above, relative
to the title of tho water lots in this city,
after having made investigation concern
ing tho same, beg leave to submit the fol
lowing
REPORT.
The General Assembly passed an Act, j
approved December 22. isle, as follows:
Sec. I. Authorized the Mayor and Coun
cil of Columbus to detine Bay st., Ac., and
to lay off' Water Lots, Ae.
Sec. 11. Be. it further enacted, That the
Mayor and Council of the City of Colum
bus, may, and are hereby authorized to
dispose of said water lots, by sale or lease,
for such times and on such terms as they
may deem best for the interest of said city,
and to execute titles to the same.
Sec. 111. Repeals conflicting laws.
On tlie 19th of August, 1841, the City
Council adopted a resolution authorizing
the Mayor to employ a competent Surveyor
to lay off tlie water lots aed make a map
of the same. In pursuance of which, John
Bethune. Surveyor, was employed, who
laid off the water power along Bay street
into thirty-seven V6l) water lots, from the
soutii line of Franklin street to the north
line of Crawford street, each lot contain
ing seventy-two (72) feet north and south,
arid presented a map of the same the oth
dav of December, 1841.
The (lay of December, 1841, the
Mayor and Council sold the lots of even
numbers of the said survey, to-wit, num
bers 2,1, 0,8, 10, 12, 14, 10, 18, 20, 22, 24, 20.
28, 30. 32, 31, 30, to John 11. Howard and
Josephus Echols for the sum of one hun
dred dollars, and for and in consideration
further of the performance by said How
ard and Echols, of certain conditions in
said deed of conveyance named. The fol
lowing are the.
CONDITIONS.
Messrs. Howard and Echols should erect
a suitable dam across the river at a desig
nated point on or above lot No. one, so
that when said river is at its usual height
five feet head of water may be obtained
on lot number one, and an increased
head on each of tlie lots below it,
by an almost level canal or race,
and to construct and form a safe and well
constructed canal or race extending from
said darn through all of said lots, said
dam to be so high, and said canal or race
so capacious that when said river falls to
the lowest Insight at which it usually
stands in very dry weather, all the water
of said river may as it runs down pass
through said canal or race, and keep said
dam and race forever in good repair. The
said lots of even numbers and their im
provements, (and no other property what
ever) to be forever liable for the payment
of any damage which said city or any
person or persons or company of persons
to whom they may sell and convey any
one or more of said lots of odd numbers
may sustain by reason of a failure to com
plete said race or canal, or to keep the
same and said dam in good repair; and
to commence in good faith and not eva
sively, the erection of said dam and the
construction of said race or canal within
twelve months from the 29th day of June,
in the year aforesaid, and to have said
darn completed, and said canal or race so
far completed that said live feet head of
water may bo obtained on said lot number
one and available for propelling machinery
within twenty-seven months from the
date hereof, and to fully complete said
canal or race within live (a) years from tlie
day and year last aforesaid; and in the
event of a failure to erect said dam and
said race within the time limited, said
lots of even numbers shall revert to said
Mayor and Council.
(See Record Book No. 3, Page 42.
Wo find that on the 22d October, 1842, at
the request of said Howard A Echols, the
Mayor and Council exchanged with them
Lot No. 1 for No. 4, and instructed the City
Attorney to draw the deed for said ex
change. -Bee Record Book No. 3, page 78.
July 31st, 1844, Council ordered a quit
claim deed to l>e made to John J. Boswell
A Cos. to Lot No. 21.
I Bee Record Book No. 3, page 270.
On the day < >f , 1843, the Mayor
and Council, for the sum of five thousand
dollars, and certain covenants and condi
tions, conveyed to John H. Howard the
water lots of odd numbers from one to
thirty-seven inclusive. A copy in sub
stance of said conveyance may be found
immediately following, and is made a part
of this report. For the action of the City
Council relative thereof, reference may be
had to Record Hook No. 3, page 179.
State of Georgia, Muscogee County:
This indenture, made and entered into
this day of , in the year of our
Lord, one thousand night hundred and
forty-three, between the Mayor and Coun
cil of the City of Columbus of the first, part,
and John H. Howard of the second part,
recites that
For live thousand dollars, conveyed to
said Howard certain water lots, viz: Lots
of odd numbers from 1 to 37.
Covenanted and agreed between the said
parties that nothing herein contained
shall in anywise impair or affect the valid
ity of a contract entered into by the said
Mayor and Council with J. J. Boswell in
1872, as the same appears on minutes of
City Council for said year; but that the
rights and interests thereby conveyed to
the said Boswell for lot No. 21 in said sur
vey and hereby reserved, and the rights
of the party of the first part now existing,
or which may hereafter accrue by the
non-pcrformonce of the conditions of the
said contract by the said Boswell, are
hereby conveyed to the said John H How
ard. And it‘is hereby covenanted and
’ agreed that Howard shall improve one or
more of said lots by the erection of ma
chinery to be propelled by water ■ .thin
four years from tlie date hereof, and t hat
ail Hi*' conditions limitations, restrictions
and provisions of a deed made by the said
party of the first part, to John 11. Howard
and Josephus Echols, bearing date in De
cember, 18D. for the lots of even numbers,
shall be and are hereby made a part and
parcel of this conveyance, and shall be
binding upon the partiosa hereto in all in
tent, and purpose as if the same were hero
in specifically set forth.
Restricts from erecting a bridge across
the river. Reserves right of way across
the river through said lots at a place
known as the Basin, and requires a road
kept open from Bay street to tho Basin.
the canal, as in deed to Howard and!
Echols, shall terminate at said basin, and j
inflow the space allowed for the road an- j
other canal or race shall commence, tak- j
ing its water out of said basin, which shall j
extend through all of said lots below, and
shall bo of sufficient capacity to supply
all of said last mentioned lots with a sufll- i
cient quantity of water to propel the ma-1
chinory effectually, which shall or may he I
placed and erected thereon.
Provided that this alteration of said
original contract shall in no wise im
pair the validity and force of any bond,
obligation and agreement heretofore en
tered into by said Howard and Echols,
conditioned for the faithful performance
of t heir said contract.
And it is herebv further expressly cove
nanted and stipulated by and between the
said parties, that the title hereby convey
ed shall bo subject to all the conditions
contained in the aforesaid conveyance to
Howard and Echols respecting the build
ing of the dam and race or canal therein
mentioned, so that lots of odd numbers
hereby conveyed, and the lots of even
numbers in said conveyance mentioned,
shall stand upon the same footing with re
gard to their liability to revert to the said
Mayor and Council, and so that, should
saiu lots of even numbers bv virtue of said
conditions, or any part thereof, or failure
to comply with the same (saving the alter
ations heroin before specified), revert to
said part* of the first part; then the said
lots of odd numbers hereby conveyed shall
also, and for the same cause, revert to and
become the property of the party of the
first part: and also that the said lots of
odd numbers hereby conveyed shall re
vert to and become the property of the
Mayor and Council, for ami on account of
the refusal and failure of Howard to per
forin Ida contract as herein set forth.
Your Committee further find that at a
meeting of Council, February 17,1844, John
■ H. Howard presented a petition for per
mission to extend the time for the comple
tion of the dam across the river beyond
tho time limited in tin*, deed to Howard
and Echols, which petition was favorably
considered, and the time extended to the
Ist of November. The reasons for which
extension are stated in Record Book No. 3,
page 227.
By the terms of the deed of December,
i 1841, to Howard and Echols, and also by
the deed of 1843 to Howard, the lots of
even numbers convoyed by the former,
and the lots of odd numbers conveyed by
t ie* latter, should revert to the city on the
failure of the grantees to perform condi
tions, to-wit: They were to commence the
erection of tho dam and the construction
of the race within twelve months from the
29th of June, 1841. Tiiey wore to have
the dam completed, and the race finished
j to a specified extent within twenty-seven
| months from said date, and they wore te
fully complete the race from the dam ox-
I tending through the thirty-seven lots with
| in five years fiom said 29th of June. 1848.
Your Committee feel satisfied from their
investigations that all the conditions Im-
I posed upon the said Howard and Echols,
I and John H. Howard, in the aforemen
[ tinned two deeds of conveyance named,
were by them substantially performed
within the times specified, except the last,
and perhaps the most important one, viz:
to fully complete the race extending
from the dam through all the thirty-seven
lots by the 29th of June, 1846. It will be
observed by reference to said deeds, that
the first named required a continuous cu- j
nal or race to he constructed from tin* dam J
through all the lots, while tho second va- j
ri*d the condition in the first so far as to j
allow the race to have a terminal point at
a place called the basin, to which a road '
was to lx* kept open from Bay street, and
below the space allowed for said road an
other race should be constructed to take j
the water from said basin through the;
lots below it to No. 37. It is apparent te j
your Committee?, and a fact patent to every S
citizen of the city, that said race has not!
been constructed as by the conditions of
said deed required.
In pursuing our investigations further \
on this point, we find some reasons for :
this apparent breach by the said gran-!
tees of this part of their obligations, which
we give below:
Before tho expiration of the time within i
which said race was to be fully completed, j
the said Howard and Echols presented a l
memorial to the Mayor and Council set
ting forth certain facts (as may be seen by i
reference to page 351 Record Book No. 3,
and which your committee ask to make a
part of this report), and prayed that they ;
might be relieved from their obligation to !
complete the race within any specified !
time- for the purpose (among others; of
enabling them to make fee simple titles, I
free from any conditions, to any one who
might, desire to purchase any of said wa- j
ter lot s. This memorial bears date the j
19th of April, 1845; a little more than four-!
teen months prior to the time limited for'
the completion of said race by the terms
of tho conveyance.
This memorial is a long one, and wo do |
not deem it necessary to copy it in full, as j
reference may be had to it in the Record
Book, ml as''it is sufficiently explained by
the action of Council had thereon on said i
Itn.li April, 1845, which wo now give in !
exteno. The resolution of Council is pro-:
faced by the following preamble :
Whereas, John H. Howard and Josephus
Echols represent to the Mayor and Conn-1
cil of tlie city of Columbus, that upon tie*!
completion of their stone canal in this
city, now f in progress (a large portion of ,
which has been completed), water power
enough will have been commanded to
drive more machinery than will be put on
the water lots sold to them, for many
years; and that building another canal
from the basin through lots below, would
bo for the present an unnecessary expend
iture of money, which could be more ad- ■
vantagcously employed in building facte- j
ries; and the said Howard and Echols,
having, in a full and satisfactory manner, 1
complied with the most important condi
tions annexed to the conveyance made to j
them -that is, putting machinery in oper- j
ation on one of said lots within loss than i
half of the time allowed them;
it. is Resolved, That after the completion I
of the canal walls, now in progress, within !
the time prescribed in said conveyances, j
the conditions in said conveyances eon- i
tained respecting the dam, canals and
races therein mentioned shall bo deemed j
and held as fully complied with, allowing |
them to do the remaining portion of the!
work at such times as.they may find it. j
conducive to their interest.
Resolved further, That the work in ques
tion has progressed so far, and so much j
has been invested in it, that the City has i
the highest security for the ultimate com
pletion of tlie whole, in tho fact that it is
now unquestionably the interest of the j
parties concerned to do what the condi-;
tions referred to are designed to enforce.;
Resolved further, That it is to tho in
terest of tho city, as well as the parties
immediately concerned, that they should
invest their money in building factories!
rather than in an additional canal, which j
must remain idle for many fears should !
it be now built.
After the passage of the foregoing reso
lutions the city Council, at a subsequent
mooting, to-wit, on the 21st April, 1845.
rosolvld to call a meeting of citizens ami
submit to them the question of approval
or rejection of the release granted by
(knmeil in accordance with the prayer of
the memorial of Messrs. Howard and
Echols. Record Book No. 3, page 345.
We are unable te say whether the citi
zens took any action in the matter or not,

Tho next meeting of Council after this i
was held April 2(, 1845, when Alderman
Morton offered the following, which was
adopted:
Resolved, That the resolution passed
the 19th ingt., releasing Messra. Howard
and Echols, only intended to release them
from such conditions of their contract with
the Mayor and Council us relates directly
to tlie building of the canal or race from
the basin or termination of the canal or
race now commenced down to Crawford
street, or in other words, the lower canal.!
and is not intended to release Messrs.;
Howard and Echols from, or modify any
of the conditions respecting the dam, ,
upper race, which is now commenced*#
fisheries, right-of-way, hauling of gravel,!
keeping the dam and upper race in good
roioiir forever.
Your Committee desire further to say j
that they have given a full history of this j
matter, that your body might thoroughly !
understand it. In their opiniou it is a !
matter of much importance that the ques- 1
tion of title to this property should be i
finally and fully settled. Many, believing
that there could be no question as to a
perfect title, have, in good faith, invested
* heir earnings in factories built upon these i
low- In our opinion the title now held by !
tiie \Vater Lot Company from tho city is;
good and valid, and that all the condition*
have virtually been complied with.
Respect fully submitted.
