THE LEO I SEAT ERE.
In the Legislative labors for the past
week our law-makers, amid the multi
itude of bills, resolutions, etc., brought
up for enactment, have come forward
with new matter which may prove of
value to the country.
Senator Black has an idea that an
net to foster aod encourage sheep hus*
bandry in the State of Georgia, declar
ing sheep-killing dogs a public nuisance
and requiring their destruction, and
holding their owner responsible will be
a good addition to our laws.
Senator Hester wants to proscribe a
punishment for those who may be con
cerned in the execution of mob or lynch
la’ii.
A Bill has been introduced by Sena
tor McDaniel to provide for the sale of
property set asido by the laws of the
State as homesteads and reinvestment
of the procoeds of said sale.
Tho bill to be entitled an act to pun
ish any person furnishing rf minor with
deadly weapons, having been reported
favorably from tW judiciary committee
with amendments, was taken up.
Senator Cain moved to strike out
the exception regarding horsemen’s pis
tols.
Senator Reese said the bill as it stood
did not permit any one furnish a
youth with defensive weapons even
when in danger of attack and attempt
Ids life. He thought ft it a bad bill
in the present shape and moved to
amend by making an exception in the
case of weapons furnisaed for purpose
of self-defease and protection, where
the law would justify their use.
The amendments of tho judiciary
committee were agreed to.
The amendment of Senator Cain, to
strike out horsemen’s pistols was agreed
to.
Senator Reese withlrew his amend
ment and submittod a proviso of the
Bame tenor.

tlic Capitol.
Washington, December 17th.—In
the interval elapsing between the ad
journment of Congress on the 4th of
March last and tho assembling of the
Forty-tourth Congress, there seems to
have been a more general cleaning out
than usual of the furniture of the com
mittee rooms. A clerk just appointed to
one of the committees reports that on ta
king possession of his committee room
he found that it had been stripped of
nearly everything portable of value. It
has for many years considered perfectly
legitimate f‘r employes around the house
wiog of the capitoi to carry oft at the
end of Congress anything that they can
lay their hands upon. To supply the
I.>ss occasioned in this manner over
89,00 ) has been expended under the
head of “furniture and repairs ”in the
last five months. Betw en twenty-five
and 30 thousand dollars is thrown away
annually on the capitol police.
The Clerk of the House paid out since
the 30th of June last up to December 1,
81,985 for pocket-books and card-eases
and §1 573 for gold pens and pencils.—
Such large purchase of these articles
could only have been necessitated by the
total abstraction of the old supply on
hand. Between two and three thousand
dollars worth of pocket-knives were also
purchased for the new members. If
the Democratic House is sincere in its
desire for economy it cannot do better
thrn by beginning the work of retrench
ment in its own household. It would
be difficult for any member to allege
any reason, except that of precad nt, why
he should be furnished at the public
expense with c< stly Russia leather
pocket-books, gold pens pocket knives.
Net is there any shadow of right in per
mitting members horse car tickets at the
public expense. One of the most crying
abuses under the House is the hire of
horses and carriages. This is a petqui
site enjoyed and very improperly, too by
officers of the body. Many thousand
dollars arc annually paid on this account,
and in many instances more being paid
for the use of a hosre that his entiie val
ue. Under the law every member is al
owed 8125 worth per annum of stationer
ry and newspapers, or he is allowed to
commute his allowance in* money. At
least nine tenths of the members draw
all the stationery they need, (a very
comprehensive term,) from the gonnral
allowance, and then take 8125 in money.
An end should bo put to various other
abuses which it is not necessary to spec
ify. At least sluo,ooo per annum can
and ought to be saved in the expenses
of the House of Representatives. The
Democratic majority in that body can
not do a more popular thing than by ap
plying the much talked of pruning knife
to the lopping off of its own useless and
unjustifiable extravagances. — Baltinore

Tkc t)catenil Fourth of Inly
in 3few York,
The German singing societies are al
ready taking steps to celebrate properly
the coming fourth of July, and are com
bining in an extensive plan, the details
of which are being diligently rehearsed
and perfect. This plan comprises three
festivals —a grand concert, to be held in
Gilmore’s Garden on July 2, which oc
cu."* on Sunday; a torclight procession
on tht, next n.’jbt, and a general festival
of song and daueft-g at Jones Wood on
July 4. The Sunday night concert will
bo wholly under riie care of Dr. Dum
tosch ; Gilmore’s full orchestra will ac
company a chorus of nearly six hundred
voices, and eminent adoiss wi! take
part. Bayard Taylor has already writ-*
ten a song, and a prize of five hundred
dollars has been offered to whoever will
write the most suitable music tor it. It
is designed to make the monster torch
light procession one in which the whole
people can take part, and invitations
have been sent to ail the military and
civil organizations in the city, asking
that they be represented. Of all this
music will be the prevailing feature, and
national songs win he suug and played
all along the line of march. It is ex*
pected that William Cullea Bryant will
open the exercises with an address. —

21111 ami Vaney.
bo Alfred Townsend, in his Wash
ington letter to the New York Graphic,
describing the exciting debate in the
ii .mse on the amnesty bill, between
Blaine, of Maine, and Hill, of Georgia,
slates that the latter was ,4 a rebel Sena
tor at the Richmond capital, and struck
Yancy on tho back of the head with an
inkstand.”* Asa historian —and Mr.
Townsend we believes aspires to that
distinction, with the late Mr. Macaulay
as his model —d.t is well to be accurate.
A memorable. rencontre between Hill
and Yaucy did occur at the Richmond
capital, but the wound received by Yaa
cy was not from an inkstand. We re-,
member that shortly after the war it
was mentioned that Wm. L. Yaucy
came to his eud by violence. The cir
cumstances of his last illness and death,
with the occasion which suddenly con
vulsed ; frame from % periect health into
a wreck and mere shadow, were written
end first published in this city by Mr.
Henry Watson, then a member of the
Nashville press. According to this first
published account of it, it was toward
the close of the secoud session of the
first Confederate Congress that Yancy
broke from the close of the counsels
and influences of Mr. Davis, and be
come, with Henry S. Foote, a leader of
the opposition. Mr. Beu. Hill, then
Senator from Georgia, had likewise
changed his front, and was remarkable
for the personal interest
and persistency with which he sustain
ed the measure of an administration to
which his allegiance had been given but
late in the day. Mr. YaDcy, it will be
remembered, had returned from an un
successful mission to Euiope, and was
representing Alabama in the Confeder
ate Senate. The question of a na w y
was under discussion in secret session.
The debate ranged beyond parlimentary
limits, and Messrs. Yancy and Hill be
came animated over the abstract doc
trines of State Rights and the divinity
of slavery. High worus passed and fi
nally the lie was given by Mr. Hill.—
Mr. Yancy laaped forward, ar and as he
aimed a blow at his adversary, was
caught in the arms of the latter and
violently thrown back over a desk. Mr.
Hill is a man of wonderful maseular
development. Mr. Yancy was never
very heavy, though lithe and active. In
the fall his spine was seriously injured,
and when the bystanders rushed upon
the two, and dragged the one from the
other, the great fire eater lay uncon
scious upon the floor, with a little trick
le of blood oozing from his lips. Ht
was carried to his hotel, a vote of se
crecy was passed, and the rencontre
was hushed up. No one in Richmond,
except that body ot men, knew of the
circumstance for six months afterward
Meanwhile the victim did not recover.
He drooped Irooi day to day. He be
came listless, hopeless and vacant. He
was transferred to bis own home, where
his convul-ions ceased a few weeks be
fore his death, which was tranquil and
calm. He died withou a hope of the
success of the Southern Republic he
had labored day and night for twenty
five years. — Naslt'dlle American.
Tlte lew Majority in
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times, speaking of the
Democratic majority in Congress, pays
it the following compliment :
The temper and acts of the new ma
jority impress the on looker quite fa
vorably. There is no assumption of
frills so common to the new-comer who
happens to be the most important per
sonage i his rural neighborhood. The
prevailing impulse seems to be altogeth
er to do the work before them thor
oughly and for the common good. The
most remarkable circumstance to be no
ted, however is the imperturable, calm
demeanor of the ex-Confederates, who
are sorely tempted and tried by the Re
publicans, who hope to exasperate the
majority unreasonably, till they are pro
voked into a violation of the require
ments, not only of policy, but of good
taste and propriety as well. There
could be nothing more pusillanimous
than the course pursued by tho Repub>
beans. Instead of working consoienU
iouly and patriotically in the interest of
reconciliation and a reunited country,
they devote their main energies to neg
ging the ex Confederates in the hope
of awakening the latent bitterness left
by the defeat of the “Cause,” if such
bitterness can be assumed to exist in a
latent or any other form. But the man-,
ner in which the majority receive upon
the shield of perfect self-control all
these malicious shafts speak volumes in
their praise. Whatever may be the
actuating motive, whether they are re
ally reconciled or are merely pnrsueing
the even tenor of their ways from mo
tives of policy, they are entitled to hi h
credit. This is the Centennial year,
and the probabilities are that the Re
publicans will find it a particularly bad
year for an attempt to keep alive the
bad feelings and wicked pasrions of a
war that closed more than teu years
ago.
Raise Cos tic it.
The following from the News of Treiv
ton, will apply to Georgia :
Yes, raise cotton, mortgage your crops
of wheat and corn to get provisions to
support negro labor ; lease out your
land; buy Ohio bacon at twice the
price per pound that you sell cotton for ;
don’t listen to theories of thase who
suggest that clover lots and meadows of
hay, etc , and pastures for sheep are re
n u erative, and re-make your lands,
and bring more money into the county,
and keep more from going out of the
county than anything else Raise cot
ton ! Raise it at an actual expense of
15 cents on the pound and sell it for
about 11 or 13. Don’t raise wheat that
always commands the highest price and
ready money. Don’t raise corn ; that
is sure to make bacon and keep stock
up; and hay, timothy, peas, etc. Don’t
let your old fields lie ; run over with
clover, simply because it make* a good
feed and replenishes your wornout lands.
Don’t do It.^Raise cotton; raire mort
gages ; raise loans; raise ciedits All
that you may raise cotton ; cotton is
king. Wha, if you do go deeper in
debt every year ? Is there no gl ry in
raising cotton ? Aint you showing to
the world that West Tennessee can raise
cotton ? Certaiuly. Then raise i( —if
you starve.

Newspapers discussing the cause of and

while individual extravagmee has been

THE NEW FAMILY
SEMCER
SEWING MACHINE,
WITH ATTACHMENTS
for All Kinds of Work*
isf.st winning favor in the household, as
shown by the^ rapidly increasing sales.
This N*\v Family Machine is capa
ble oC a range and variety of work such as
was onco thought impossible to perform bv
machinery. We claim and can show that
it, is the cheapest, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely adjusted, easily opefated.
and smoothly running of all the fathity
sewing machines. It is retnarkable, not
only for the range *fld variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
kifids of texture whicn it will sew with
equal facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse,
making the inter-elastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity of stitch ,
and, in a moment, this willing and never
wearying instrument may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
the tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been t he popular andi
practical machines for manufacturing pur
poses, some dealers, using ‘-the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine is not, equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—ami! they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family n achine embod
ies new and essential principles—simplicity
of construction ; ease of operation ; uni
formity of precise action at any speed ; ca
pacity for range and variety of work,’fine
or coarse-leaving all rivals beaind it.
