The Atlanta Herald quotes tho follow
ing wholesale prices in its city: Geese, 50
to 00 cents; ohlekons, 15 to 20 cents; dress

Accord mg to the Griffin Nows’ account,
Samuel Mays, of Butts county, was justi
fiable In killing Seale Hall In the dlflloulty

day. The Nows says that Hall, who is a
"wall known desperado," fired twice at
Mays with a shot gun before Mays shot
him with a pistol. Mays gave hlmsoif up.
It is said that Hall was a fugitive from
justice in Mississippi, where he had killed
someone, and he had killod ono man in
Butts county since ho came to Georgia.
"Bill Dent," in a communication to tho
Newnan Star, opposes the proposition to
levy a prohibitory tax on dogs tor the
benefit of sheep ratsors. His reasons are
-first, that if dogs are exterminated, fox
es will become so numerous In tho land
as not to leave a live chlckon, and preach
ers will starve; seoond, If tho dogs are
killed, tho negroes cannot catch ’coons
and ’possums, and will necessarily turn
thoir attention exclusively to hogs, for
they will have meat; third, Georgia sheep
are not lit for Georgians to oat any way.
Tho Atlanta Herald of Tuesday gives
the following additional particulars of tho
compromise between the firm of West, Ed
wards A Cos. and their creditors: “On yes
terday afternoon, at 3 o’clock, the credi
tors met In the Kimball House. About
$230,000 was represented. They agreed,
unanimously,to accept the compromise of
fered by Messrs. West, Edwards A Cos.,
which was that they wonld pay forty cents
cash, ten cents in two months, ten cents
in four monte, and ten cents in six months,
provided the firm would pay ten conts ad
ditional in twelve months; this last
amount to be insured, and makes fifty
cents they will 1m vo to pay In all. The
late firm agreed to this proposition, and
thereby brought the matter to u dose.”
The compromise was made In accordance
with the terms of the Bankrupt act, but
there are still some proceedings pending
hi the State Superior Court.
Moncxrf. D. Conway is delivering
an entertaining and humorous lec
ture on “Demonology” in the North
ern cities. Ho believes that “devils
and demons aro creatures of the im
agination, and that they were con
structed out of men’s Inner conscious
ness at a later date, for the most
luirt, than the gods of mythology.”
We don’t advise anybody to rely
upon that comfortable theory,
•
New Y ork paiiers of Saturday say
that the condition of the cminont
lawyer Charles O’Conor does not
change much from day to day, ex
cept that be continually grows weak
er—a neoessary result from his ina
bility to take sufficient nourishment.
The Tribune says that his malady is
neither dyspepsia nor inflamation of
the stomach, but is said to be infre
quent and incurable.
THE cm PRINTING.
The Injunction “never buy a pig in
) a poke” must needs be disregarded
I by any biddorS for the city printing
of Columbus under the requirements
of tho new Council. There aro sever
al branches of work to be included,
and there Is no definite statement or
estimate of tho amount of any of
them. The cost of the work to the
contractor may range anywhere from
three hundred to three thousand dol
lars. Tho contractor for tho work of
repairing carts or shoeing mules will
take the job at so much per cart or
mule; the coffin maker will havo so
much per coffin ; the druggist has his
option of furnishing mediolnos for a
specific sum by tho year or accord
ing to quantity; and the boarder of
j hands or mules will feed them at so
much por head. Hut tho printer
must bid for tho publication of Coun
cil proceedings, embracing an uncer
tain number of sessions or matter to
be copied; for ail tax books and their
binding, without knowing how many
there will bo; for tho printing of all
pamphlets, without knowing whether
there will bo one or a dozen ; for ad
vertisements which may fill half a
dozen columns or as many whole
newspapers during the year; and for
a quantity of job work equally lndef
flnite. The contract, in its indefl
niteness, would be just like one which
a carpenter or mason might make to
build a house without knowing either
the size of the building or the mate
rial of which it was to be constructed
—whether it was to havo ono room
or half a dozen, or to be built of brick
or plunk. f
An essential feature of all fair con
tracts Is the mutuality of thoir obliga
tions and a correct understanding of
their equivalents. Butthero can be
no such feature in a contract sueli as
tho City Council of Columbus wishes
to make with tho printers. The
power retained is all on one side.
Tho printer will be compelled to do
whatever tho Councilor the Clerk
may require him to do, no matter
what lie may lose by the contract.
We do not believe that the mem
bers of the City Council really wish
to impose on anv ono making a con
tract with them an amount of work
exceeding the compensation afforded.
Hut the Council itself does not now
know hoiv much work tho printers
would havo to do under a contract
which it proposes to muko. The
Mayor, or any committee, or any offi
cer of tho city would be authorized
to order any amount of advertising,
and it would be included in
tho contract. Even the Commission
ers for soiling tho city common and
tho City Marshal arc given unre
stricted license to advertise to the
extent of flny amount of spaco or for
any time. Wo trust that a consider
ation of those suggestions will con
vince tho economical city fathers
that a contract such as they propose
would boa little too arbitrary and
one-sided for square dealing, and al
together too indefinite for a good
understanding betwoeen tho parties.

The papers are cutting out work for
tho Legislature of Georgia at its next
session, which begins in January;
and ns they generally know fit they
do not to a great extent direct? pub
lic sontiment, wo suppose that they
aro nearly correct in indicating tho
leadingsubjoetsof legislation. These
are the repeal or modification of tho
Homestead laws ; the question of
calling a constitutional convention;
the better and more securo disposi
tion of tho penitentiary convicts; u
tax on dogs; and a ohange from an
nual to biennial sessions of the Leg
islature. We hope that a proposition
will also be submitted separately to
the people to delegate to tho Legisla
ture power to reconstruct tho coun
ties, so as to wipe out many of the
smaller ones and thus get relief from
a great and unnecessary tax upon the
people.
Bo far as a return to bieunial ses
sions is concerned, we hope that the
Legislature will be cautious in de
ciding the question. That has been
tried in a number of the Southorn
States, and we beltevo that it has
neither given general satisfaction nor
effected any great saving of expense.
It would not do to deprive the Gov
ernor of discretionary power to call
the Legislature together in extra ses
sion, and so many or such apparently
pressing questions would arise within
tho interim of two years that the
Governor would be very apt to accede
to tlie demand for an extra session
evory year. On a question of that
kind, the Executive would feel neither
authorized nor disposed to adhere
rigidly to any opinion which he might
have that there was no need for an
extra session. lie would bo more apt
to make tho call and let the Legisla
ture judge of the propriety of action
on the questions presented. Tho fact
that at tho present time-notwith
standing the long session of the
Legislature last winter- so many
important subjects of legislation can
be presented, and all pressed for
prompt action, is a sufficient admo
nition that there would bo nearly
every year an earnest call for an extra
session if biennial sessions should be
determined upon.
Thirty three States and Territories
have usury laws, the regular rate of
interest varyiug from 0 to 12 per cent.
In the following States and Territo
ries all usury laws have been abol
ished and any rtfte may be agreed
upon: California. Florida, Maine,
Montana. Nevada, New Mexico,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas,
Utah, Washington, Wyoming. New
York, where, in all probability, more
j usurious rates of interest are actually
I collected than in any other State, has
j the most stringent auti-usurv laws,
1 which, practically, are dead letters,
las people who need money expect to
I>ay whut it is worth in market. True,
the laws punish usury, but the bor- j
rower knows that violation of liis j
pledges is not only dishonorable, but
puts him tinder the ban. He cannot
afford to take advantage of the law,
whose workings throws obstacles in
tlie way of commercial transactions,
without proving the least beneficial.

Tlie Kentucky Legislature will
have a United States Senator to elect
early In January, and we notice that
tho friends of the Hon. James H.
Beck are urging his election to tho
position. It is, of oourse, a matter in
relation to which people outside of the
. State have no voioe, but thut need not
I provent our saying thut the election
of Mr. Beck would be gratifying to
the poople of the Southern States
generally, and especially to those of
Georgia. He made a most able, vig
ilant and useful Representative in
Congress, always true to principle,
and ever fearless in the denunciation
of Iniquity and injustice. He is one
of Kentucky’s best und truest sons,
and would represent her in the Sen
ate most creditably and effectively.
The people of Columbus feel a warm
attachment for Mr. Beck on account
ofhisuetlvo exertions in behalf of a
□umber of our best citizens who were
maliciously and wrongfully persecu
ted on tho baseless charge of com
plicity in the Ashburn assassination.
Mr. Beck was earnest and untiring in
his efforts fortheir vindication, and
in his denunciation of wrongs heaped
upon them. His election to the Sen
ate would elicit the heartiest ap
plause in this section.
The Methodist Church has, says the
New York Sun, a communion num
bering millions, is far more powerful
than the Itoman Catholic, has a
marvellously perfected discipline, and
pushes its interest with great skill
and assiduity. Asa religous body it
does a vast amount of good ; but if it
undertakes to go into third-term pol
itics under the lead of Boss Grant, it
will get a set-back that will take it
a generation to recover from-if it
ever gets over it. We wish no inter
ference in our politics by any church
whatsoever; and if bishops and
priests undertake to add to their cure
of souls the business of instructing
us for wh om we shall vote for Presi
dent, they will neither save souls nor
succeed in making Presidents. If
Bishop Haven and two hundred
Methodist parsons who adopted and
applauded ills third-term gabble wish
to vote for Boss Grant, for next Presi
dent, they have a perfect right to do
it, though' if they do they will find
themselves in a pitable minority of
the voters. As ministers of religion,
however, in conventions called for
religious purposes, they will be wise
if they hold their tongues about vo
ting for Grantor anybody elso for
President. A sectarian nomination
would spoil the chances of tho best
man—to say nothing of Bishop Ha
ven’s nominee.
ll\. GEORGE H. PEMH.ETOV
HIS BPEECII AT ATLANTA.
From the Constitution.!
My Fellow Citizens: I am very
much obligod fur the honor you have
done me and it gives met lie greater
pleasure boeauso it was so entirely
unexpected because it is so foreign
to the objects and purposes with
which I havo come to this portion of
the country. I feel no little embar
rassed to find adequate words to ex-1
press my appreciation of the compli-1
merit..
Tho cause which have just now!
brought mo here are of a private and
personal nature. 1 desire to bring
my family from the cold winds 'and
chilling snows of our northern winter
into tho warm and golden sun-light
of your more favored South. For
myself I desire recuperation from the
labors of a busy und somewhat over
strained life. I had heard, I had
road, I had known by reputation of
your genial climate, your fertile soil,
greatly productive under the activi
ties of your people, of tlie proud part
you had borne in the history of this
country, and I hail admired, and, in
my humble way, followed tho coun
sels of the great statesmen you had
given to tho country. But there was
another and a deeper feeling leading
me to eotno here to meet you in the
proud common wealtli of Georgia.
Although my birth and home have
been in Ohio, and family ties havo
been in Virginia and New York, my
immediate ancestors are not unknown
in the military, judicial and political
fame of Georgia, and I desire to come
and pay my homage to tho State
whioh was the home of my grand
father and the cradle of my father, as
reverendly as I bow over his grave
north of the Ohio. These aro the
circumstances which have brought
me among you, and I have experi
enced nothing but delight since I
came.
I have been rejoiced to see your no
ble country and to meet your active,
brave, generous and self-sustaining
people; to see all around me the evi
dences of that recuperative energy
which is the pride of our race and to
see it, too, in these States which with
in the past fifteen years have tasted
and suffered all the bitterness and
ruin of war. What can I say more
than to point to your own noble oity,
destroyed ten years ago almost be
yond a' vestige, and risug aguiu with
more than the strength aud beauty of
the riioenix from her ashes ? And
as I passed through your streets to
day aud saw your fine buildings,
your magnificent residences, your
splendid hotels and your energy. e
teprise aud thrift present through all
in such activity as did honor to vour
oitizeus, 1 could but bow my head and
thank God that you possessed these
great virtues and that He had crown
ed them with success! rApplause.]
Much as. I rejoice in these as facts of
your prosperity, I rejoice still more
in them as evidences t hat intelligence
und virtue have again assumed tho
reins of government in your midst,
that the passions and prejudices of a
few years ago have passed away, and ;
that the elements of new and more I
prosperous industry are again active |
among you. Hero we see prosperity
upon every side and even at this early
day of the recuperative era wo see I
that, you have produced more of that
staple of commerce - cotton—than
ever before in the history of this
country. I rejoice in these things be
cause I am one of those who believe
that in tlie prosperous advancement
ot those things which give life and |
activity to the people is found the so- j
lutiouof the problems that disturb,
the country. •
I am, as you are ail probably aware, j
a Democrat. [Cheers.] A Democrat
by association from youth, but more
than that, I am a Democrat from
principle. 1 believe that the princi
ple* of the Constitution of the United
I States, as interpreted aud adminis-
I tered by the Democratic party of tlie
I eouutry, furnish the best system of
confederated government the world
has ever seen. [Applause.] I be

those reserved to the States, and that
in thut interpretation we will also
Und the true solution of the curren
cy, the labor and the turiff questions,
aud of evory other emergency which
we may find in tho course of this
Government.
But, though I am a Democrat, I do
not intend to speak to you of party
politics. The time and the occasion
are not fit, and the disposition to
speak to partisan points does noten
ter my heart. On Tuesday last I
stood in my homo in Cincinnati, tlie
crowned queen of that imperial do
main given to the Union by Virginia,
the mother of States, and stimulated
into growth by the memory of the
sorrows of the Revolution The next
dav I stood In the commercial capital
of Kentucky, also the gift of Virginia
and earliest born of the States given
by her to tho Union. The next day
I was in the capital city of Tennes
see, the donation of North Carolina;
and the next night I slept in this
city, the capital of tlie Empire
State of the Sooth. Every
where in my progress, from
State to Stateand capital to capital, I
found my own people, my owu fellow
citizens and my own country,aud the
citizen of no other country since the
history of recorded time has been
able to say so much. In the presence
of tii is fact and of the emotions called
forth by its influence, I feel I should
hush all feelings of party and party
asperity, and cultivate in my own
heart, and assist in cultivating iri
other hearts that pure patriotism
and loftier aspiration, which will pre
serve our institution, und by the nest
and purest administration of the
Government rate the’ nation to tlie
highest glory ; and which will stamp
out and banish as unclean and unho
ly any and every effort to introduce in
their place class, sectarian and re
ligious controversies ! [Applause.]
I road in your eapitol to-day the
motto of your proud commonwealth
wisdom, justice and moderation!
Wisdom! Justice! Moderation ! Gen
tlemen, these are tlie three
graces which will entwine
with the luurels of victory
the brow of any party, State, or
Statesmen, who makes them the
guiding principles of life. I com
mend them to you as I shall to my
owu fellow-citizens of Ohio. If they
prevail with us, no tiower can pre
vent our taking possession of the
Government at the next opportunity;
if they do not, wo will not. take con
trol, and I freely confess to you that
without them I believe we ought not
have control.
I have gone astray from my pur
pose, winch was to thank you res
pectfully for this compliment, for
this evidence of your confidence in
me, and to return my kindliest ac- 1
knowledgements for the many pri-j
vate acts of hospitality of which I;
have been tho recipient. Gentlemen,
I thank you again very gratefully.
[Loud cheers.
GEN. GASWELL’S 11F.MAUK8.
Loud calls were made for Gen. j
Gartrell, who responded as follows:!
Gentlemen l did not expect to j
receive this call to-night, as I camo
solely to meet my distinguished
friend with whom I had tlie pleasure
of serving in Congress before the late
war. I find him now as then, true
to Democratic doctrine, the Constitu- ]
lion and tlie best interests of this!
great country ; us a Conservative man j
whose-feelings are not bound up in'
tho fortunes of any particular Slate
or section. [Applause.] I do not
intend to detain you. I hope the day
will come when we shall meet him
again, and I trust beoause I know
him to be true sound, and great as
good 1 trust, when we do meet him
again, he will be at tlie tiead of the !
Democratic party and the Govern- ’
ment, enforcing the principles of!
Democracy under the Constitution, I
in the North and tlie South, the
East and the West! [Applause.]
And now I propose three cheers for;
Hon. Geo. FT. Pendleton, the next;
President of tho United States ! !

Political Gossip. -Hon. Samuel
Bowles, editor of the Springfield, j
Mass., Republican, sends these items
of political gossip to that paper:
Mr. Blaine will make an early and
aggressive currency reform speech. 1
Postmaster General Jewell has won j
a complete victory over Burt, the!
Boston postmaster, nnd is for a time j
fully established iu the Cabinet. Sec- 1
rotary Bristow, too, so far holds him-1
self firm and strong. However the i
President’s friends may complain j
and threaten, the President him
self sustains him, and bids him go j
ahead. Very ugly rumors are about!
that the developments of the Chicago
whisky ring may make Grant wince
worse than St. Louis has done. The
third-term purposes of tlie President
are still stoutly disputed by intelli
gent Republicans. The signs point
both ways, and the party leaders are
demoralized. But the Democratic]
loaders are equally at fault for their I
future, and the wisest are not very !
confident, for next year. At present j
Tllden and Lamar is the strongest [
presidential ticket on that side, and [
Bristow and Blaine the strongest Re-;
publican.

THE COTTON STATES LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF MACON, GA.,
Desirous of meeting the demand of the insuring public for low rates, and contracts that can be un
derstotal by all. offers the Eudowment-Life-Kate Policy, with confidence that an examination of the
plan is all that is necessary to commend it to the favor of all desiring insurance. This plan secures
two objects: lßt. It provides for those dependent upon ns iu the event oi death. 2d. It provides
for our old age in case we attain a stipulated age. The low rate of premium, and the fact that the in
surance is jttyahle with the ordinary period of life, makes it the most desirable form ot poii.ey now
offered to the public.
Rratoiufor Insnrine on the Plans
Ist. It gives the insurance at the lowest possihle cost. 2d. It provides for your family in case of
death. 3d. It provides for yourself iu caße of old age. 4th. There can be no loss. Incase premi
ums should be discontinued, paidup insurance is given lor the amount paid in premiums. sth. It
is better than a savings bank. The first premium paid secures a fortune, and if payments are con
tinued the accumulations aud the amount insured will be much more than could be earned by the
most fortunate savings bank. 6th. It secures the amount at a stipulated age.within the ordinary pe
riod of life ; ami 7th. By this means it is no longer necessary to “die to win.”
REASONS FOR INSURING IN THE COTTON STATES LIFE
Ist It is a Southern Company, ‘hi. IU invest in nts are made in the South. 3d. It has already
paid to Southern families upwards of $300,000. 4th. All claims are paid promptly—no longer delays
in consequence of distance. sth For security of policyholders it lias on deposit with the autho r
iUes of the State of Georgia slol,ooo. 6th. It has $50,000 on deposit with the authorities of South
C arolina for the same purpose. 7th. It has a Guaranteed Capital w DSfMWH,OtI.
