Oa„ FRIDAY DECEMBER 81, 1875. m OKoruia new*. —■ wm/tßr t**r jpnmit jwry-fnr Ctlhonn rrnm ty denounced the il|ht traffic in iceu cotton and other country produce ; recommended a reduction in the pay of jurors to one dollar a day, and additional legislation to lessen the taxes. • -sThr AHwntr'CoiftmiMweatth a*y that lesa than one hundred persons, including dead heads, were present at DeGivc’s Tues day night to see happy Call Wagner. It attributes this tB-*otn “insult” by the troupe to Atlanta. -—The Juflerson News and Farmer says : *ft that (jov, Smith wilt not of.-r to run for Governor, but wilfUerhe the people if they want him. Well, the people down in this part of the country would rather have him than any other man that bat been ndmioated." —The Augusta Chronicle is of the opin ion that the next session of the Legislature wilt have much to do with answering the question Vvho will be Governor ol Georgia. It also thinks that the Democratic Stfte Convention to make thil nomination will adopt the two-thirds rule. —The Atlanta Herald says : The lion. B, H. Hill will appear as counsel for ex Trens urer Jones. He says “the reputa.ion of Jack Jones ig the reputation of Georgia.” It is said that Colonel Jones will apply to the legislature for permission to he heard before that body by counsel. There is pre cedent lor tile granting of such a request. —The Cedartown Record reports one in stance of a late rise in real estate in Geor gia. It saya that Messrs. l’liilpol & Dodd's having purchased all the lend of Mr. M. 11. Bunn's lying on the west side of Cedar creek, about 800 acres, for ? 1 J,OOO, have already been offi-red $lB per acre ior one hundred acres of it, which they have refused. —A dispatch from Sparta to the Macon Telegraph announces that on Monday night David Dickson, jr., wait killed by his broth er James Difkson, It is thought, that Du val was asleep when James attacked him with an auger und heat his head to a jelly. Whiskey is supposed to be the cause. Da vid amt James Dickson.are nephews of Mr. 6avid Dickson. • —We find these Christmas casualties to children reported in our exchanges; At Savannah, a boY named Bernard Muftagh had one eye very badly injured, and perhaps wholly destroyed, by a piece of percussion cap flying back into it tube shot uft'a gun. At Augusta, a litile daughter of Mr. J. A. Reid had an eye put out by a hall from a Roman candle. —Franklin Pence, of Darien, last year bought a shoal, for which he paid the high place of tt>. He fed to it sixteen bqshels of corn, for which he paid f 11,68. He paid fifty cents for butchering. Total cost of the pork, $19,05. The pig weighed when butch ered three hundred and twenty-one pounds ljet, which he sold for ten cents,- making t'W.I O. From this take the cost, $ 10,05, aiid he has $[3,05 net profit. —.Since the connection of the Atlantic It Gulf Railroad a.id tho Savannah & Charles ton Railroad, the business qf each has large ly increased, and Savannah has been mate rially benefited, Columbus, too, may he materially benefited by a dose connection with thiu line, arid such a connection can easily he effected by the regular running of a Columliut steamer between this city and Bainbridge. —Klijay Courier: Gen. Phillips has is sutil a call for a railroad convention, to meet at Elijay, on the fith ol January, 1870, at 10 o'clock A. M. The object of the con vention is lo consolidate the Marietta & North Georgia Railroad with the North Carolina Roud, and to change the line from Ducktown to Murphy, and to connect with the Western North Carolina extension from Murphy to Ashviife, North Carolina, and also with the road Worn Knoxville via Maryville at tire Tennessee line. —1 he Augusta Constltutionailst says that Mr. John Morris (whose death from a Taiighing fit on Chnslmas dny was reported to us by telegraph) was always noted for laughing Immoderately at any funny inci dent ; that on Saturday he attended a mas querade hall, and some humorous features caused him to laugh heartily, when sudden ly |iti stopped and fell to the ground, having ruptured a blood vessel. He died on Sun day morning, leaving a wife and two chil dren. —The Atlanta Constitution says that it is now repeated upon positive authority, coming it seems from Judge Hopkins him self, that he will certainly resign his office as Judge of the Superior Court lot the At lanta circuit, on or about the 20th of Janu ary next. It says thalthe prevailing idea is that Judge Richard 11. Clark or Col. S. B. Spencer will be appointed by the Governor HSciefcSuf at .fudge Cow ai t, of the City Coffrf; Whose term expires on the 3d of Jan uary. —Some turbulent negroes got up a riot in Rome on Christmas. It commenced by an etlfert on their part to prevent the officers from carrying to the guard-house a negro boy who bad Deed arrested for disorderly condact. A' negro knocked a policeman senseless with a rock, and this negro was iu turu badly beateu by the policemen. <iuite a fight occurred between a party of negroes and the whites who assembled, hut no one was seriously hurt. When some of the whites procured fire-arms the negroes scattered. —The Savannah News, noticing the “inde pendent” candidacy for Governor of Hon. Janies Johnson, says: “While there should be no cause of apprehension from Mr. John son's semiiomihatiori, it is perhaps fortu nate that he did not longer delay the an nouncement of his Gubernatorial aspira tion* It may serve as a warning to the marplots of the Democracy to cease their personal bickerings, their incessant pranc ing out of new candidates, and induce them to wait the calm, sober judgment of the people in the matter of nominating the next Governot of Georgia.” out < otntEitri: with cum. “MU TRAJJT.V Tne Now York Horald 1 , coni plains of th<ji;r<)ttt disparity of into anti exports from Cuba, Attributes tho cause to the high (Spanish duties, and Insists that our Government ought to compel Spain to throw open tho commerce of the island to us. It state* tho amount of our trade, with Cuba for the last few yeurs, as fol lows: "In 1871 wo imported from Cuba tho value of $58,240,584, and ex ported to Cuba the value of $14,200,- 400. In 18720ur imports were $07,720,- 205, and exports, $13,108,966. In 1873, Imports, $77,305,740; exports, $15,231,- 039. In 1874, imports, $86,272,466; ex ports, $19,597,080. For the eurront year, ending .Tune 30,1875, the im ports were $00,745,527; the exports $15,580,658.” Free Trade, when the term means low or revenue duties, is a good, tiling. But this, like overy other in ternational regulation, should be mu tual, Those who preach free trade should practice free trade. Our Gov ernment imposes as high duties on the wines, raisins and textilo and other manufactures of Spain, as iSpaln imposes on the goods which we could sell iu Cuba. Indeed the United States is about the last Government that ought to complain of prohibitory duties. The importation into Cuba of goods or products from this coun try equal to th(f amount of our ex ports from that island, would doubt less be a great general benefit to the peoplo of tho United States, but our protractivo tariff system stands in the way, because Spuin will not lower her duties without a compensating reduction by nations trading with her. Why, then, is not this general benefit secured to tho people of the United States ? (Simply because the interest of a few Northern manufac turers calls for high protective duties on foreign fabrics competing with their own—that being the obstacle to (Spaiu’s “throwing open the com merce of tho island to us.” If it could be shown that a greater revenue is derived by tho United States from its present high protec tive duties than it would obtain from thoso levied with a view to revenue only, tho need of money with whLh to pay interest on tho public debt might justify adherence to tho pro tective system even at the expense of tliopeopio. But this is by no means dear or reasonable. On the contrary, it is demonstrable tlmt we would de rive more rovenuo on importations from Cuba amounting to $75,000,000 in vulue, with a 20 per oont. ad valo rem. tux, than wo now derive from $18,000,000 of importations with a 40 per cent, tax; and the consuming people of this oountry would at the same timo reap tho benefit of a re duction to the uraount of 20 per cent, in the prlco of goods which they im port from Cubu. Tho one way sure, by which our Government may secure a larger and freer trade with Spain and Cuba is by reciprocal low revenue duties. Bet, us offer to admit into the United States tho tobacco, cigars, fruits and sugar of Cuba, and the wines, liquors and manufactures of Spain, at 15 or 20 per oont. ad valorem, in considera tion of Spain admitting into Cuba the products and manufactures of tho United States at the same rates of duty, and then we shall see whether the imports and exports of our trade with Cubu do not more nearly balance. Should Spain refuse a proposition so reciprocal und Lair, we will then have a bottor pretext for demanding tho reason why. The San Francisco Chronicle has a long account of tho group of islands known as tho Four Kingdoms, or Lower Society islands, in tho South Sea, and of some important social and political events that have lately occurred there. It states that Mr. Atwater, tho American consul to those islands, has married tho native priueoss Mootia, und since tho mar ring o ho and the princess have been active iu arranging for an Ameri can protectorate over tho group. Atwater is said to be a pet at Wash ington, and a fuvorito of Gon. Grant, like Steiuborger, and it is believed that he has similar designs. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, ever witty in its criticism if not always correct, says Unit Senator McDonald, of Indiana, stands firmly by the theory Unit the Fed eral Government luis no powers except such as it derived from the several States. This is a very good theory, and was a fact ninety years ago; but the present genera tion is inclined to boJiovo tiiat, as a matter of fact, tho Federal Government, never de rive! any powers from the State of Indi ana, but Unit tho State of Indiana, ou the contrary, came into existence only through the act of tho Federal Government. lExohange. Mistake. Tho State of Virginia gave tho territory of Indiana to the Federal Government, and the under standing, either express or by neces sary implication, was that it should bo admitted as an equal State of tho Union. Virginia, a State covoroign herself in nil but her delegated pow ers, is tho mother of Indiana and a number of other States possessing precisely tho same relation to the Union. s The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal states that Senator Morton is collecting a vol uminous amount ofi evidence with which to prove that Mississippi is in a lawless and dangerous condition and should bo reconstructed, etc. As usual, the writers of the letters which give Morton the “facts” beg him not to reveal their names, “ns such reve lation would bo certain to place their lives in peril.” If Senator Morton produces these letters when ho opens bis outrage mill in the Senate, he should be required to furnish the name and address of each of his Mississippi correspondents. That would doubtless bring about an inter esting revelation of fraud and lying. Morton, however, .is still crazy enough to believe that ho can “star tle the whole country” by resuming the old story of terrorism.”—Louie ville Courier. > —Hon. Henry R. Harris, our immediate Representative in Congress, employed him'- self at home during the holiday recess. He caught three large beavers in Meriwether countv. the other dav Niimeiently Warned. Tito following letter, remonstrating Against tho appointment of McDon ald as Supervisor of Internal llevo nue, ought to have prevented that unfortußatei not. The signers were all Republicans, and all but one United States officials, nnd it will be seen that they distinctly told Secre tary Boutwell that McDonald would, in their opinion, ro-establish just such rings or combinations as he has been convicted for establishing. Taken in connection with tho strange forbearance of Washington officials towards McDonald after he had com menced his swindling operations, if not connivance at his conduct, this letter must be very damaging to persons high in authority: Eastern Dihtb jct or M lssocar, ) United States Attobney’s Office, Ht. Louts, Oct. 7.18 l. ) The Hon. George ~S. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury, Wanhinylon, D. <J. Bib; We have to-day learned bv tho telegrams of our daily papers, that,John McDonald, of this place, has been ap pointed Supervisor of Internal Revenue, un assigned duty to this district. Wo beg leave to assure you that the rep utation of this man and fils associates are snch that ho can bring no moral support to tbe Government in tho enforcement of ttie Internal Revenue laws, und that It is quite certain that his qualifications, na tural or acquired, arc such ils render the appointment an unfit one to be made. Wo believe that by his being placed in so Important an office, the collections of the revenue will bo retarded, and the combi nations which have heretofore existed against the Government wifi be re-estab lished.

We are apprised by what appoar to be reliable rumors, tiiat the ue.tion to be taken by the Governor in tho mat ter of the unsettled accounts of ex- Treasurer Jones will not be deferred beyond the coming week, at farthest. The amount claimed upon the suits to bo instituted at this timo we un derstand to be $110,000; but whether this is tho maximum amount consid ered to be duo from Capt. .Tones, we are unable from present information to state. The best impression, how ever, is that tills amount is exclusive of the $150,000 of bonds which it is alleged have boon twice paid. The parties sued will be Captain .Tones and all the sureties whose names are subscribed to the two offi cial bonds given by hitn and now on file in tho Executive office. Upon tho iirst of these are the names of John Jones, John T. Grant and C. A. Nut ting; and upon the second are the names of John Jones, John A. Jones, Seaborn Jones, Batt Jones, A. K. Jones, James D. Waddell, James M. RussMl, and Henry L. Befitting [since deceased.] Each bond is for the sum of $200,000. The report Is that the Governor has determined, with advice of counsel, to begin these suits In tho counties of Bibb and Cobb. The suit upon the first bond will be brought in Bibb county, iu which is the residence of O. A. Nutting, one of the sureties. Tlte suit upon the second will be brought in Cobb county, where Jus. 1). Waddell, one of tho sureties upon it, resides. Both suits will claim tho same amount of $110,out). And only that amount could do collected l'f judgments were secured in both cases. It is supposed that the bringiug of thoso suits in tho above counties will efieetuully remove them from the sur roundings and influence of local pre judices nnd conduce to their just de termination. Asa further explana tion, the State can elect where she will place her proceedings, so that they will be iti a county where one of tho sureties resides, and tho other parties inay be joined as defendants, although Don-residents of the county where the suit is brought. It is said that Attornoy General Hammond in the prosecution of those suits, will bo assisted by Gen. Robert Toombs nnd Messrs. MoCuy &Trippe for the State. This is a strong team and will provo tough to handle. The counsel employed thus far to represent the defendants are Judge O. A. Lochrano and B. 11. Hill Sc Son. Other local counsel at Macon und Marietta may be joined in the defense. It is stated that Judge Lochrano yes terday secured his fee of $2,500 in tho cases, and it is believed that a like sum was paid in to Messrs. Hill & Son. The litigation promises to be hoavy and the case will doubtless develop into a cause celebre in the legal aunals of the State.—Atlanta Constitution, 29 th. T— —•-* N Tax on Tea and Coffee. The Washington correspondent of the New York Bulletin says: There is quite an effort among strong manipulators around Congress to secure a duty on Um and coffee, and, failing in that, to get it on toa alone. Rut the test of making the receipts meet tho expendi tures it. ttie Government has boon decided by a determination to level the expendi tures down to the ordinary receipts, and to adjust the tariff on the basis upon which it now stands, with more oquitablo provi sions. The Republicans, in majority, as protectionists, oppose a duty on tea and coffoe, while the Democrats say they will not assume tho responsibility of Its roim posltion. I believe that a two-thirds ma jority of the House, without regard to par ty, are against it, and while the Senate Committee favors it, the Senate lias a largo working majority against it. Pork Parkluse. The Cincinnati Price Current, of the 236 inst M says: Notwithstanding the fact that there hay been several day ft of quite warm weather the movement of hogs to ma. ket in the West during the past week lias aggregated a iaiily liberal number, and shows a considerable increase over co.jespooding week last year. The information which we hefte, indicating the packing at the six leading cities, shows that the deficiency as compaied with same date last year has been reduced from 595,- 000 two weeks ago, and 560,000 one week ago. to 440,000 at this da f e. From interior points we have returns this week Bom places ivhuh packed *ast year 1,135,857 ot a total of 2 065,415 at all inte rior points. The packing to dates of these report, al! within five days past, aygrega'.es 475,404* against 7$6 V 455 to same dates last season a falling off*of 311,051. Shou'd the same relation exist ior the other points, the deficiency now at all interior points would reach about 560,000. indicating that while, the six cities have been gaining during the past two weeks, as compared with the same period last. Year, the interior points have ap parently fatten equally as much behind, which, i correct, would make the aggregate packing in the West during the same time to have been about the same as in the cor responding time last year. To carry out the calculation in the same proportion, the packing in the West would now appear to be about 2.600.000, against about 3,600,000 to the same date last year. This may or may not be approximately correct. Columbus Female College. I rpHEOollejpe is a success. More Girls wanted 1 : L for the opening in January. Sent!
