BREVITY.
By about the middle of next May the
public will have seen the last of the pres
ent three .cent postage stamp, and be*
gun to get. accustomed to one that is red
or possibly anew tint. This change
has been rendered necessary* as stamp
washers take oft' the oily cancellation
without alkali or acid and use the stamp
again. A series of experiments just
completed convinces the Postal Depart*
ment that green is the poorest color to
be found. With the change of color
there will be a change of design. The
medallion head of Washingon will be
retained, but it will be relieved by aa
open scroll of white,and the scroll work
will have a different pattern.

length, and that tho Indians invariably

appendage and wring their heads off
A few minutes before tho train started
for Indians Wells the Chinese seized
their baggage,dashed, it out of the cars,
and stamped over the hills and out of
sight.

Mr. Minor Brown, of Brown’s Bridge,
came into town about 11 o’clock with
about a dozen of bis neighbors comfor

upon a large sleigh, drawn by a pair ot
the largest-, liuest and fattest oxen in
Hall county. The whole rig was about
as comfortable looking a turnout as our
eyes ever beheld.”
A hjrse thief was being conducted to

THE SPIRIT OF REFORM.
Ever since the close of the civil war
the people have been burdened. Here
in the South, especially, oppression and
taxation have kept down the spirit of
progress which should bring our
try to the high state of prosperity it
might otherwise have enjoyed. Geor
gia, though better off than some of her
unfortunate sisters has bad her ills to
contend against, yet when the corrup'
tion—the misrule—-which had to be
endured during the progress of recon
struction are thought of, our State hav
ing long since got rid of this crew of
oppressors, and their places having been
repeatedly supplied by officials selected
by the intelligence of the country, the
people are beginning to expect a change
that will lighten their burdens and re
store unto them the purity of govern
ment which will give anew and genu
ino impetus to the industries of the
country, develop an improved moral
system, and cause the people to spring
into new life under the gratifying as
surances that their public interests
safely repose in the wisdom and hon
esty of the land.
Tho work has never yet been accom
plished. Legislatures have succeeded
each other, and the country is still bur
dened. High taxes continue to be ex
acted, and the people’s hopes of a bet
ter state of affairs have had to be de
ferred, until a genuine reform would in
truth be a blessing which would make
glad the heaits of every citizen. Gov.
Colquitt’s inauguration, let us trust,
will mark the dawning of anew era in
our State administration. The patri
otic words of his address lead us to be*
lieve that he intends to do the work
the people expect of him. Bis elec,
tion to the high station he now fills, we
believe, is the calling of a citizen to
rule who has the good of the people at
ho art, aud intends to reform and re
trench in every possible way. In this
important work he is likely to have the
full cc-operation of the present Legis
lature. A spirit of reform in all pub
lic expenditures seems to pervade that
body, and they are settling down to
their work in a manner which shows
they iniend to be just to their constit
uency in the accomplishment of the
grave duties intrusted to and expected
of them. Let them continue as they
have begun. Let the reduction of sal
aries commence with the beginning of
the session, and let the business be
transacted with dispatch, and the peo
ple saved every dollar of expense that
need not be expended in a useless pro-’
longation. This is what the people ex
pect. The curtailing of the number of
officials, and the reduction of salaries to
the lowest cent that will compensate for
the work performed, is among their du
ties, and should receive attention. They
owe these duties to themselves, and
they owe them to the country.
Judge C. D. McCutchen has been
re*appointed Judge of tho XJherokee
Circuit. So far as we can learn this
act of our new Governor meets with
universal approval among the people of
his circuit, A more capable, impartial
and d'gnified Judge does not grace the
bench of the Superior Couit in any
part of the State. The defeat of his
re appointment would have undoubted
ly provoked dissent.
The joint committee of Congress on
counting the electoral vote have finally
reached an agreement. The bill report
ed for adoption provides that the Pres,,
idential question shad be referred to a
eommistion composed of five members
from the House, five from the Benate
and five associate Justices of the Su
preme Court It is believed now the
plan will result in the election of Tilden
as President and Wheeler as Vice Pres
dent.
Among the most remarkable produc"
tions of this age and country is Hall’s
Hair Renewer. Its success is unparal
leled. It is sought after by rich and
poor, high and low, young and old.—
Inhabitants of foreign lands—the peo
ple of Australia, of Europe, of South
America find meaus to get it at whatev
er cost. It is because it works like mag
ic. It restores the hair to its youthful
color and beauty, and robs approaching
age of one of its disagreeable accompa-*
niments. If you are getting bald, try
it Try it if you are getting gray, or if
you have any disease of the scalp. Try
it if you wish a good hair dressing. It
will net disappoint you.— Muncie ( Ind .)

Griffin Press and Cultivator : No one
feature of progress has been more favor
ably noticed than the advance made in
our State journalism during the past few
year.-.. News of every description is col
lected with great rapidity,and the week
ly journals of to-day are a great im
provemeutou mostof the dailies of olden
times. This is owing in a great meas
ure to the fact that young men of the
best talents and cultivation have taken
ho.d of the press and gone to work en
ergetically and with a desire to elevate
the standard. A well regulated systeaj
of journalism is one of the greatest bul
warks of education.

What Would Follow Tilden’s lav
angaration.
The Memphis Appeal, in considering
what is most likely to start the coun
try again upon a career of prosperity,
says :
The overthrow of the fraud by which
it is proposed to elect Hayes, and the
inauguration of Tilden as President of
the United States, will be the signal
for the general restoration of confidence
with which will come peace and pros
perity. Idle capital will seek legiti
mate channels ; idle workmen will find
work ; business will resume an activi
ty unknown ; sectional strifes, which
the Radicals have fostered, will be for*
gotten in a general era of national har
mony, and the country will bound tor.*
wa r d with renewed impetus. Such
will be the result of the overthrow of
the conspirators. In every pait of the
country we hear the same unvarying
cry that business is virtually paralyzed
—times are hard, and constantly glow
ing harder—money is scarce, and con
stantly growing scarcer. There never
were as many persons out of employ
ment) as now ; never as much financial
embarrassment among aIP classes; nev
eras much uncertainty and distrust in !
every department of commercial and
industrial enterprise Tuis unfortu
nate condition of affairs is partly attrib
uted to other causes besides the politic
cal situation; but were it not for that
situation and the doubt and danger
which accompany it, there would be a
cheering prospect of brighter and better
days. To suppose that the peaceful in
auguration of a President who is no
President will be a panacea for all our
ills is supremely ridiculous. Tho rem
edy will aggravate instead of cure the
diseaie. Instead of pouring oil upon the
troubled waters, it will be oil poured
upon an already fiercely burning fire. We
firmly believQ that if Tilden obtains the
office to which he has elected the
nation will speedily enjoy the peace and
prosperity it so sadly needs ; and we
just as fiimly believe that if Hayes ob
tains the office to which he was not elec
ted, national peace and prosperity will
be postponed indefinitely, it not forev
er.
The Population of the Earth
The annual c mpilation known as
Behm & Wagner’s estimate* the pres
ent population of the globe as 1,423,.
917,000 being an increase of about 27,-
000,000 over that reported by the same
authorities in 1875. So far as Europe
and America is concerned it is not dif
ficult to make approximate estimate of
their population*. Most of the coun
tries ou the two continents take censuses
at regu'ar intervals. But the number
of inhabitants in Asia aud Africa can
only be the subject of enlightened guess
work. What purports to be the official
census of China has 5 always been open
to the most serious doubts. Good au
thorities have insisted that the popula
tion of that country is reported,for Got,.
eminent proposes, at far above—even
twice—its real strength. Behm <Sc Wag
ner give it at 405,000,000,with 28,500-
000 of ontlyii.g people. This estimate
if correct,would show a marked decrease
from the census reported to have been
taken as far back as 1852 which pmt
the population of China at 450.000,000.
The gain population in Asia i* set down
at 25,000,000. This advance is not at
tributable to the increase of births over
deaths during the year, but to the am
filer means of information which the
compilers of the work claim to have. —
The statistics about Africa,excepting on
its semi civilized borders, are necessari*
ly almost worthless.
Reducing Salaries.
Representative Fry has introduced
the following in the General Aesem*
bly :
“To regulate the salaries of officers in
the State.”
The provisions of tue bill are that the
salary of the Governor shall be $3,000 ;
secretaries executive department $1,500;
messenger. S9OO ; comptroller general,
$2,000; clerk of comptroller general $1
500; Treasurer $2,000; Clerk of Treas
urer $1,5000 Secretary of State $2,-
500; (no fees or peiquisites allowed)
Attorney General $2,000, and no extra
compensation; State School Commis
sioner $2,000; Clerk S9OO ; Judges of
Supreme Court $3,000; Clerk of Su
preme Court $1,500 Judges Superior
Courts $2,000, Solicitor General sl,-
500;President of the Senate and Speak

A Boston boy was lately picked up
Francisco whose career has been
quite adventurous. He had heard at
school about the big trees of California
so the story is told-j>nd one day went
to the family treasury and helped him
self to $l7O in money. He paid $l3O
of the sum for a ticket across the con
tinent, aud reached the Golden Gate
with only $4.50 in his pocket. He was
home-sick and dishearted, but found
work abou 4 the city for seyeral days,and
finally was taken in charge by charita*
bio people and placed in an industrial
school. Learning his parents’ name his
good friends wrote them about him, and
learned in reply that the parents had
died, leaving $20,000, and eonfidning
the child and the money to a guardian
Last Friday the youthful travele*. withs
out having seen the big trees, was
placed on board a steamer bound for
New York. Ilis name is Charles Bar®
rett, and is about thirteeu years.
The New York Herald’* Washington
correspondent says that the Hayesites in
that city “ enew. and with more vigor
than before, their expressions of deter
mination to put Mr. Hayes in the White
House if he has to be sworn in by a Jus
tice of the Peace, and if the streets of
u ashington have to be lined with artil
ery.” The Courier-Journal, speaking
the sentiment of the Western masses’,
says : “There is a higher power howev
er, which will not permit any such fan
tastic doing*, and that the will
of tho supreme people, which has de
cided that the man who was legally elec
ted shall be legallj inaugurated. We
don’t think the Hayesites will “line
with artillery” the streets of Washing
ton. The Constitutional Government
will quietly put down any such warlike
demonstrations.”

THE
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS
For 1877.
On the first of January, 1877., the Morn
ing News enters upon its twenty-seventh
volume, and it is hoped by the conductri
upon a pros'pc- r y-.-ur Every rt:• ii*ig
anniversary has witn ssed its extending m
f uence, and to-day it is the text of the po
iticai faith of thousands of readers. Its
uniform consistency and steadfast devotion
to principle has gained for it the confidence
of the public, thus enabling it to contrib
ute largely to the triumph of the Demo
cratic party.
In the future, as in the past, no pains
will be spared to make the Morning News
in every respect still more deserving of the
confidence and patronage which has been
so liberally extended to it by the people of
Georgia and Florida. The ample means of
the establishment will be devote 1 to the
improvement of the paper in all its de
partments, and to m iking it a comprehen
sive, instructive and reliable medium of
the current news. Its staff of special cor
respondents—at Washington, Atlanta,
1 Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and other points
of interest—has been reorganized with a
view of meeting every possible emergency
that may arise, and pains will be taken to
make its commercial news, foreign and do
mestic, complete and reliable.
As we are about entering upon the new
year, we desire to call especial attention to
our club rates of subscription.
POSTAGE FREE.
We will pay postage on all our papers go
ing to mail subscribers, thus making the
Morning News the cheapest newspaper of
its size and character in the South.

In range of work this macliie cannot be equalled. Will work equally w'ell on this

of needle, tension or thread. We will warrant them to do this ! Our fine work lseuual
to any. and our heavy work excels that of any other machine in the woivl.
The machine makes the celebrated lock stitch (the stitch invented by Mr. Howe.) i
on both sides. The tensions are positivr both upper and lower thread. The shuttle
tension is u on the thread as it leaves thhuttle, and not upon the bobbin, as in most
machines, and t-iis tension is invariable, whether the bobbin be full or nearly empty,
is obtained by turning a screw in the shuttle, and can be changed in a moment, vvithou
taking out the work, breaking the thread o breading through holes.
What we claim, in substance is, that this is an honest machine, aud if put in your
family will do any and all of your work perfectly, will last a lifetime, is a willing and
ready servant, and is not subject to FITS,
Persons who have tried all machines are unanimous in declaring this to be the easiest
