Oairagc? in North Georgia.
Sir. Allred under a suspon.-ion of the
rules, introduced in the House of the
Georgia Legislature, on the 2d inst.,
the. following preambles and resolutions
which were unanimously agreed to :
Whereas, the citizens of Giluier
county 'have addressed a memorial and
petition to the General Assembly of
Georgia, wherein they set forth a state
ment of acts of scoundrclism is bein fr
committed in their county and the upper
section of the State, under the color of
law; and, whereas, it is reported to us
that a citizen has been assassinated
without even a pretended color of le-oU
authority; and, whereas, it'is further
stated that after the assassics had been
arrested and committed to jail that they
ha\ c been discharged or removed from
the custody of the State officers on some
'pretended authority of some official ■
and, whereas, it is not only right but
the duty of the State and of its author
ities to protect its citizens and to see
that the law is enforced punishing
criminals, therefore,
Resolved, That a committed of five
be appointed by the chair whose duty
it shtti 1 he to confer with his Excellen
cy the Governor, and to ascertain
whether the Lets as stated are true and
to take such further steps, if possible,
to stay the hand of the marauders, rob
bers nod murderers of our peoplo.
Resolved, that this committee
f;j in upon what authority criminals who
i >ve vl 'at. and the laws of Georgia, and
who !; .vo been committed to jail for
Lhi: by ao process of law, and releas
ed wuio.ut judgement ,o~ order of a
competent tribunal of the State.
The Speak r appointed ou said com
intLe- All red, McGill, Smith of
iLwsun, Black and Davis,
The committee of the State of the
r.'pub iu made the following report on
the memorial from the citizens of Gil
mer county.
\\ ueruas, The attention of die mem
t> yof she General A.-sembly has been
called to the alleged fact, sustained by
e\ idenco from sources entitled to ere
d ice. that the citizens of Gilmer
county frequently suffer indignity, and
oyen uiuruer has been committed by
persons in the revenue service of tho
United States under pretext ot’ enforc
ing the revenue law-.
Resolved, That this General Assem
bly is powerless co provide any other
preventive or corrective of these evils
than is already to be found in our crim
inal code.
Resolved. That the active effort being
made by his Excellency, the Governor,
to bring the alleged offenders to trial,
seconded by the hearty co-pperation of
the people will prevent a recurrent of
the state of affairs above referred to,
which has been so grave as to demaul
the attention of the General Assem
bly.

a substitute for the resolution by the
committee, which was accepted by Mr.
Hoge and the report, as amended, agreed
to.
Resolved, That his Excellency, the

The Presidency—Letter From
Senator Slierfftaii.
Senator Sherman, of Ohio, has writ
ten a letter on the Presidency, which
is published. lie begins by declaring
that the welfare of the country de
mands the election of a Republican
President, saying :
“The e’ectiou of a Democratic Presi
dent means a restoration of to fuU pow
er in the government of the worst ele
ment of the rebel Confederacy. The
Southern States are to be organized by
violence and intimidation into a com
pact political power, only needing a
small fragment of the Northern States
to give it absolute control, when by a
majority rule of the party it will gov
ern the country as it did in the time of
Pierce and Buchanan. If it should
elect a President and both Houses of
Congress, the constitutional amendment
would be disregarded; the freedmen
would be nominally citizens, but real
ly slaves ; innumberable claims, swollen
by perjury, wonld be saddled upon the
treasury, and our public credit would
be impaired ; the powers of the gener
eral government would be crippled, and
the honor won by our people in subdu
ing the rebellion would be a subject of
reproach rather than pride. • The only
safeguard from these evils is the
election of a Republican President, and
the adoption of a liberal Republican
policy, which should be fair and even
generous to the South, but firm in the
maintainence of all the rights won by
the war. Our election in Ohio shows
that even under the most adverse cir
cumstances we can win on the basis.”
/fte. saying that “the*drift of pub
lic opinion has positively closed the
question of a third term,” and that the
established usage against it wouldpnake
Grant’s nomination an act of suicide,
he concludes by expressing the opinion
that, all things considered, the nomina
tion of Governor Hayes, of Ohio, would"
give the Republican party more strength,
taking the whole country at large, than
that of any other man.
Southern It ulicalism--Tsie Plan
i<>r Controlling Louisana anti
Recet t developments in Republican
circles leave no room for a doubt regard
ing the policy of the administration
upon the Louisiana and Mississippi
question. Recent troubles in some of
the parishes, arising from outrages by
nogroes in burning cotton gins and stores
have supplied the pretext for the gov
ernment to fill tLis State with troops,
who will assist in execution f of the en
forcement act making arrest of whites
That necessarily will bring about the
old state of affairs. This, it is said, was
agreed upon by Kellogg and Packard,
and the latter, during a late visit to
Washington,made all necessary arrange
ments with Grant, who, well informed
and leading Republicans here say, will
be the Cincinnati nominee.
Alcorn has also arranged for detach
ments of troops to be located in Missis
sippi, and he will again put himself at
the head of the negroes of that State
Ireland, Alcorn’s negro pet, is to succeed
Postmaster peace at Vicksburg, and
once again in the ascendency, Alcorn
and his cohorts will endeavor by force
to undo what Conservatism has accom
plished in that State.
Pinchback is to be seated, and Bil -
lings will be made District Judge here,

Ttie Lee Mausoleum. — Tim design
modeled by Mr. J. L. Smithmyer, of
Washington, for the Lee Mausoleum at
Lexington Virginia, is described in the
Richmond Dispatch. “Itisto be of
modernized Greek architecture, with
vestibule sentineled by two caryatides
representing Peace and Glory, the coat
of arms of the Lee family and corating the
lintels of the door, and the whole of the
building appropriately decorated From
the vestibule is immediate entrance into
the mausoleum proper, which is domed
and festooned in- such a manner that
there will Fe a most agreeable contrast
between its gray granite and the pure
white marble cf the figure.” Within
the mausoleum will be placed Valentine’s
statue of General Leo- The design has
not yet been acted upon by the commit
tee.

Monster Grape vine for the
Cknten ial. —Last evening the cele
brated monster grape vine of Santa
Barbara arrived on board the steamer
Mohonbo, boxed up in seven large boxes
for shipment to the Philadelphia cen
tennial exhibition, by request of our
State centennial commissioners. The
enormous proportions and unequal
fruitage of this wondrous vine have
made its fame world-wide. Its foliage
covered 10,000 square feet, boie six
tons of grapes annually, and it is from
sixty to one hundred years old. —
Eight feet from the ground it is five
and a half feet in circumference. It
branches out into twenty large limbs at
that hight, and one of these limbs is
twenty-.geven inches in circumference.
Tliis limb is of the exact size of the
Queen of England's celebrated Hamp
ton court vine, which is th< largest in
all Europe. The Santa B: t ara vine
will be prominent among the curiosities
at the centennial, and of imn ense value
to California, by attracting the atten
tion of the world to the wor. ierful pro
ductions of our soil and climate.— San
Francisco Chronicle.
The New York City saving banks are
earning wisdom from experience. At
present, all theNtrong institutions, are
changing their investments, as tar as
possible, from real estate mortgages to
United States bonds, the repeated 11 run”
upon them during the past year, admon
ishing them of the wisdom of having
their securities of such a character as
can be converted into hard cash, if need
be, at an hour’s notice, This is the real
explanation of the somewhat extraordi
nary demand for almost all classes of
government securities since the com
mencement of the year, and this is the
reason, also, why prices have advanced.
The idea seems to be that absolute se
curity in times like these is preferable
to almost anything else The tendency
of this policy must also have an
effect to bring down fa icy prices for
real estate-
gcur gyclmltements.

of over forty years. When
resorted to in season it sel

THE NEW FAMILY
SINGER
SEWING MACHINE.
WITH ATTACHMENTS
For All Kinds of Work,
is fast winning favor in the household, as
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
This Mew Family Machine is capa
ble ofja range and variety of work such as
was once thought impossible to perform by
machinery. We claim and can show that
it is the cheape.t, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. It is remarkable, not
only Jo? the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture whicn it will sew with
equel facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or Cvarse,
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, cr al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been t he popular and
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—and they arc
apt to examine carefully before choosing—
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our sew family machine 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 beuind it.

OFFICIA L REPOII T.
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 all other companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result to us, and is only
another that “merit always has its re
ward.”
