WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1870. 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. Tho proviso was agreed to and the report as amended was agreed to. The following resolution, was intro duced by Livingstone of Newton : Resolved, That a special committee of on from each Congressional district be appointed by the Speaker to draw a Bill revising the road laws of this State ftftd to report by bill or otherwise. The following committee was appoint ed by the Speeker : King. Ist district; Smith of Lowndes, 2d district; Smith of Webster, 3d district; Nelmes, 4th district; Brown, sth district; Living stone, Gth district; Hamilton, of Floyd, 7th district; Battle, Bth district; Jam ison, Oth district. The following is a synopsis of the ♦convention bill : That immediately after the passage of -this act the governor is authorized and required to issue a proclamation for an election to be held on the second Tues day in March 1876, for delegates to a convention to assemble in Atlanta on the second Tuesday in April, 1876, for the purpose of revising the constitution of thd State. The election is to be }ield and returns forwarded as in elec tion for incniWs of the General As sembly, Representation in said con vention shall be based upon population at the ratio of one delegate to every 6,000 inhabitants. Each senatorial dis trict an election district.

A bill has been introduced to re£* Into marriages iD this State. Marriage* nut tobeso’enmized between parties who itfo under eighteen years of age, with- out the consent of parents or iruardi ans. One of the parents must b* present or the written consent obtained. Mr. Warner moved to strike out 18 and insert 16, which was lost. Mr. Allred opposed the bill. Let people marry whenever they want to.— He moved to indefinitely postpone, which was lost. The bill passed.

Lincoln is living with her brother-in-law at Springfield, 111. The following is the text of the pro* posed amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives, two-thirds of each house concurring therein, That the following article be proposed to the Leg islatures of the several States as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which, when ratified by three-tourths of said Legislatures, shail be valid as a part of the Constitution, namely: “Article 19 —From and after the next election for a President of the United States the President shall hold his office during the term of six years, and, together with the Vice President chosen for the same term, be elected in the manner as now provided, but neither the President nor the Vice President, when the office of President has de volved upon bim. shall be eligible for re-election as President.” Pickings ami stealings About 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 Sun. 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. — Tribune. 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. ■* M- The Bbtrish Bio (3un.—Experi ments were Qaada with the English big eighty-one ton gun at Woolwictl, on Decfember 10th.

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. Sewing Machine Sales of 1874* The table of sewing machine sales for 1874 show that our sales for that year amounted to 211,697 machines, being a laigo increase over the sales of the previ ous year. .The table shows that vmr sales exceed those of any other company for the period named, by the number of 148,852 machines, nearly Three Times Those of any other Com . pany. If may be further stated that the Fries of 1874, as compared with th* sal* oi 1872, sh#w a relatively large iuereas beyond the sales of other maker*. For ir.si.- nce. in 18*2 we sold 45,000 more machines than any other company ; whereas, in 1873, the sales were 113,201 Machines in Excess £’of Cm* Highest Competitor. And in 1974 our sales were 148,852 Machines More Thai* Am Other Company. OFFICIAL REPORT. The following is a correct report of the sales of sewing machines made by the lead ing companies dining the past four years. A careful examination of the figures will show that the ‘‘SINGER” have largely in creased each year, while, on the contrary, a corresponding decrease is shown in the sales reported by ail other companies.
