We are glad to learn from the (IrllTln News that Dr. DeVotle lias sufficiently recovered from Ids late Illness and Is able to All his pulpit at the Baptist Church In that city. The News says that an order was re ceived In Savannah on Monday for one hundred crawAlsh, to be delivered In New York by Friday, In time for a dinner. The order could not bo filled. —The municipal election In Newnan, on Saturday, resulted In the success of the so-called “Citizens ticket" for Aldermen, hut in the choice of the Democratic nomi nee for Mayor by 4 majority.

The Chronicle had been Informed that a semi-annual divi dend of four per cent., payable In Janua ry, would be declared. Dr, 3. I’. Allen, of Augusta, was at tacked with hemorrhage while walking on a street of that city, on Monday evening, and died In a few minutes. Ho had been a prominent druggist of Augusta, and was about 05 years of age. —The Hawklnsvlllo Dispatch hopes that Judge Pate of the Oconee circuit will lie his own successor, boeauso the poople of that elreult so desire. Tho Augusta Chron icle, on tho other hand, presents Col. John M.

Cannot Columbus dons well in sustaining tho Memorial Enter tainment to be given next week by tho ladles 1 The Atlanta Herald quotes tho follow ing wholesale prices in its city: Geese, 50 to 00 cents; ohlekons, 15 to 20 cents; dress ed, 12 to 11 cents per lb.: turkeys, 75 to $1.50; dressed, 14 to 15 eouts per pound; ducks, 22;t0 25 cents; opossums, 25 to 50 cents; butter, 25 to 50 eouts; eggs 25 to 20 conts. We learn from the Daldonegu Hlgnal that the two horse thelvesof Murray coun ty, Cooper and Crossing, who were arrest ed In this city and taken back to Murray, effected their escape from tho jail of that county a short time since. But on tho night of the sth Inst, a party of armed men burst Into tho house In which Cross ing whs staying, and shot him done). Ho defeiidixl himself with a pistol, and it Is thought wounded one of his assailants. Accord mg to the Griffin Nows’ account, Samuel Mays, of Butts county, was justi fiable In killing Seale Hall In the dlflloulty between them which we mentioned yester 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 Cooes I u Glhlalmv. 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. Hob. Jauie* H. Berk. 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 lieve thut interpretation will clearly mark tho line of Federal and State power, and defend the powers given to the Federal Government as well as THE TIMES: THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16, ISiA. 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 ! ! [They were given with hearty good! will.] • ♦ • 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. ♦ Parson Newman and the Third Term. - Washington, Dec. 10.— The Republican Congressional Campaign Committee have determined to fol low the President’s leadership upon j the religious and sectarian question.! Two weeks ago the Bev. John P.

Cabinet Troubles.— A Washington special dated oil Friday, to the New Orleans Times, says: It, is reported that the President and Bristow had a serious misunder standing to-day, in consequence of the dismissal by Presidential order of ex-Senator Henderson, counsel for the Government in the St. Louis whiskey cases. Bristow insisted that he be retained because of his inti mate knowledge of the case, and the President that he be dismissed for reflections upon his integrity, Bris tow is reported to have said, “If you j don’t want your friends indicted, i keep them from stealing.” Removal.
