U*U?J3E*m D. B. FREEMAN. Editor and Proprietor. Laws Relating to Newspaper Subscrip tions and Arrearages. 1. Subscribers who do not give cypress notice to the contrary , are considered wishing to con tinue their subscription. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance oj their periodicals,, the publishers may conti me to send them until all arrearages are paid. If subscribers neglect or refuse to tune their [ neriodicals from the office to which they are di rected, they are held responsible until they have settled (heir bills and ordered them discontin ued. 4. If subscribers move to other places uithout notifying publishers, and the papers are sent to the former direction, they are held responsi ble. 6. The Courts have decided that “ refusing to take periodicals from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud.” 6. Any person who receives a newspaper and makes use of it whether he has ordered it or not, is held in law to be a subscriber. {. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice to the publisher, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue tak ing it; otherwise the publisher is authorized to and it on, and the subscribers will be respon sible until an express notice , with, payment of all arrearages, is sent to the publisher, Saturday, January 20, 1877. 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. A Louisville lady has been seeking a divorce from her husband on the ground that he is not a Christian. Tho court, not thinking it necessary that husbands and wives should be certain of meetirg in another world, has refused the applr cation. Mr. George McGovem,of Richmond, owns the first cotton bond issued by the Confederate Government. It is as fresh and crisp as on “August 1, 1861,” and once meant to Southern eyes $40,000. The people of Los Angeles took a very unique method of preventing a threatened influx of Chinese laborers. A party of COO arrived there a few days ago and camped near the new depot.— The citizens immediately started a re port that the peculiarity of the climate causes the nose to grow to a formidable length, and that tho Indians invariably sieze the Chinamen by their elongated 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. Isaac Friedlander, the wheat King of San Francisco, sold from his farm last year 18,000 tons of wheat, for $638,- 000 in gold. He is certainly in a flour ishing condition. * Silver bars are piled upon the side* walks of Virginia City Nevada, in such profusion as to suggest that there is no limit to the precious metal. During the past past year the fi9h commissioners of Virginia hatched and distributed among the streams of that State 150,000 California salmon, 4,000 landlocked salmon from Maine, 1,00,- 000 shad, besides a large quantity of smaller fry. A divorce bad separated Mr. and Mrs. Koltmeycr of Cincinnati. He called on her, said that he had come to say good-by, and pretended to offer to shake hands ; but when he got near enough he disclosed a knife in his ex tended hand, and stabbed her to death. Columbus has received to date since September Ist, 61,766 bales of cotton, 21,093 more than last year. The mills have taken since September Ist 5,080 bales, against 4,812 last year showing an increase of 268. A child sat down on a hot stove hearth in Pittsburg, and was perma nently branded with tho words '‘Base Burner.” A San Francisco lawyer received a wooden jackass as a Christmas gift from bis fellow practitioners in the police court, and he says : I know how hard it is to pick out suitable presents, but I almost believe an insult was intended.” The Gainesville Southron paints a win der scene in this wise : “A rich sight and one seldom seen in this climate,was enjoyed by our citizens ou election day. Mr. Minor Brown, of Brown’s Bridge, came into town about 11 o’clock with about a dozen of bis neighbors comfor tably seated around a piping-hot stove 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 ail in Texas when the officer remarked to him that it looked like rain. “Yes,” replied the prisoner, “we are going to have a wet, gloomy Christmas. It don’t make so muefh difforence to you and me, but it’s rough on these merchants. I really feci sorry for them.” The last re*, mark was made while the jailer was un barring the door. At. a recent private sale in Constan tinople a Circassian girl of fourteen,with chestnut hair and blue brought £2OO. Turkish,another of eighteen,who played the violin,brought £130) a Geor gian girl brought £l2O, while a black girl, a good cook, brought £3B. • At least 500,000 tons of ice were shipped from the Kennebec and its trib* utaries the past year. The sales are re ported to have averaged two dollars per ton, and at chis figure a millon of dol lars were realized for the cold product. 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 .) New*. 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. - < * I. Also the same new way ! Anew prin cipal !

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 er of the Housq $8 per diem; members of the Geueral Assembly $5 per diem, and $2 for each 20 miles; Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House $8 per diem. mH ♦ . 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.” flew gutmtismeuts. year!
