Columbus Enquirer Sun : ‘ Yesterday a
wood hauler was coming into the city with a
respectable load of wood. He was met on the
outskirts of the city by a man who inquired the
Price. When told $3 50 he hooted at he idea
and told the wood hauler that the police were
arresting every man who extortioned on wood,
and that he wmld be glad to get out of town
before he could if be asked more than a dollar
for it, and at the same time proposed to pay
him that price. The wood hauler finally agreed
to take the dollar, rather than subject himself
to arrest, but declared he would bring no more
at that price. The man who bought the
wood acted m very bad faith In saying that
which was not true, and in using false means
to obtain a load of wood at less than half of its
value. In plain English the act was swindling.
Wood on such days as we have had for the
post week is worth double what it is in
pleasant weather, and we consider it no ex
tortion to raise the price.”
Concerning the recent cold Bpell the Augusta
Chionicle says: “Th. ‘oldest inhabitant’ de
clares most emphatically that he never knew
such a continuous spell of cold weather, with
snow and rleet remaining on the ground. On
last Tuesday night there was the heaviest fail
of snow that has occurred in this section for
tenty ffre years. Following the snow came a
bitter cold temperature, the mercury falling as
low as 7 degrees above zero—something unpre
cedented in this latitude. Upon the top of the
snow followed a heavy sleet Saturdav. and on
Sunday morn ug the surface of the earth was
clad in a hard, white mantle. Steps and side
walks were dangerously slippery, and many
hard falls were the consequent. The
mow wr s pretty well beaten down before,
and the sleet on top of it made a smooth,
hard surface, capital for sleigh riding. A num
ber of pe pie took advantage of this, and the
novel spectacle was presented of sleighs slid
ing about through the stree‘B. Nearly ail of
them were extemporized for the occasion.
; Buggies, phaetons, and even wagons, were
takeu from their wheels and ruoneis pul upon
them and sleighs thus rigged up. One gentle
man had a mule hitched to a large rocking
J chair, and thus took a ride. Yesterday fur
uiabed another occasion for sle'ghicg and the
exercise of the inventive genius of those who
eoj y such sport and suffer from cold fingers in
! driving. The only drawback was ths difficulty
! the horses had in getting footholds, but even
this had its corresponding advantage; the
horses, inspirited by the cold air, made fre
quent attempts to run away, but iound it eu
• ttrely impracticable, slipping back and falling
I faster than they could go forward. The boys
! had a good time, as well as their elders. Those
who had goats Qgged up a soap box or a chair
! and hitched billy to it, while those
’ who were minus such a:i animal
I employed their brothers or comrades as the
1 motive power, taking turn and turn about.
1 Others made sleds and slid down high places.
This sport was especially good-at the high
' bridge at the upper end of Greene street. The
sleds acquired an impetus which carried them
j a long way with their laugtiiog, human freight.
There were some rough falls, but this did not
I prevent the boys from trying It again. Skating
j was alvo good, and every large pool of water
i was utilized for this purpose. At Bondurant
A Joplin's brick yard a large crowd assembled,
and a number skated for several hours. There
were also some skaters at Moore's lagoon. One
gentleman broke through the ice here, aud w as
entirely submerged, but fortunately escaped
without injury. Two parties fell through the
ice on the lake in the City Park, but, as the
water was not deep, escaped with a
wetting up to the waist. The street
cars found much difficulty in getting along
Sunday morning. The horses were finally
furnished with ice shoes, and made better
pregress. The first car sent out to Sum
merville in the early morning of Sunday was
! unabla to get any farther than the foot of the
hill even with four horses. People from the
country report that the roads are very difficult
to get over, being frozen hard and as smooth
as giass. Business was almost entirely sus
pendel yesterday on account of the inability
of horses to pull drays over the frozen streets
People who had suffered their supply of wood
! to get low found [treat difficulty in obtaining
: fuel. Two ho ses attached to coal carts broke
1 down and had to be taken from the carts,
1 which were left standing in the street. Wood
j was plentiful at the wood-yards, but only a
j limited quantity coutd be haul -d, owing to the
' refusal of the majority of the draymen to
; drive their horses and mules on the slippery
1 streets. Among the poor there must be great
I suffering, us many of them are unable to get
any wood. Pome of them are out of work on
account of cold weather, which has broken up
everything, and are, indeed, in a deplorable
condition. This is, indeed, a time for the exer
cise of charity ou the part of those who are
able to give.”
INTERNATIONAL CONTRASTS.
Fiuanelal.Condltlona In Europe and

iiew York Trtbune.
These are exhilarating days for Ameri
cans, when the leading English journal
declares that ‘‘the finances of the United
States may excite the envy, not only of
England, but of Europe.” Do they fully
appreciate the significance of the com
pliments which are showered upon them
from the richest nation in the world?
Do they recognize the proud posi
tion which their country occupies
as almojt the only debt paying nation
on the face of the earth ? We fear
they do not, and it is in the hope of
helping them to do so that we bring be
fore their eyes some statistics which we
find in the volume of consular reports
recently published by the State Depart
ment. The first table presents a suc
cinct statement of the national debts of
various European countries in 1565 and
1879 (reduced to gold currency), and un
derneath the footings we have placed
the figures for the United States for 1805
and 1880:

This table shows that England and the
Netherlands are the only European coun
tries that have reduced their debts since
1805, and that even in these two instances
the reduction has been comparatively
slight In fifteen years over $8,000,000,-
000 has been added to the indebtedness
of Europe, while over $870,000,000, or
about one-third of the pubic debt of our
own country, has been paid. In 1865
the United States owed more than any
other nation in the world except Great
Britain. In 1880 it owes less than
France, Great Britain, Russia, Spain,
Austro Hungarv and Italy.

This table shows that while the funded
indebtedness of Europe has been in
creasing with extraordinary rapidity,
the current expanses have been running
higher and higher, the con. pari son being
made for years of profound peace. In
the United States a very different policy
has been followed. The outlay for ordi
cary expenses in 1865 was about $600,*
000,000, exclusive of all accrued war ex
penses, and the expenditures for the last
fiscal year were $267,643,957. This
is $300,000 000 less than France
expends and $47,000,000 less than
it costs to govern Germany. The ex
penses of our country are not only
less than those of these two powers, as
well as Great Britain, Russia, Austria-
Hungary and Italy, but they are propor
lionately less than those of any country
iu Europe. To the United States, there
fore, must be accorded the first place
among nations in economy of adminis
tration, as well as in debt paying ability.
The a marican people have not only
lived within their income, hut they have
resolutely cut down their expenses,
while the ease and rapidity with which
they have canceled their financial obli
gations have made their recent history
one of the marvels of modern times.
Verily, it is a good thing to be an
American.

Washington, January s.—Dr. Felton is
advertised to deliver a speech on the election
laws at an early date, In which he will take
the ground that It Is the duty of the incom
ing administration to convene Congress In
extra session In order that a thorough In
vestigation Into the alleged election frauds
in the Southern States may be made. He
will declare that the late election In the
Southern States was a farce. Soured by his
defeat, which he attributes to fraud, Felton
seems to be jumping wholly into the arms
of the Republicans. Perhaps he would not
object to a comfortable office under Gar
field.
HOUSE PBOCXBDINOS.
The House was called to order at 12 m ,
and the journal of December 22d read and
aoproved. The Speaker then, as the regular
order, proceeded to call the committees for
reports.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, Chairman of
the Commi tee on Coinage, Weights and
Measures, reported back the hill amending
section 3524 of the Revised Statutes so as to
authorize a charge for melting or refining
bullion when at or about the standard.
Referred to the House calendar.
The morning hour having expired Mr.
Springer,of Illinois, introduced a bill for the
apportionment of Representatives in Con
gress among the several States, and to se
cure to the people of each State equal aud
Just representation In the House of Repre
sentatives. A short dheussion ensued as to
whether the Committee on Elections or the
Committee on Census should have charge of
the bill.
Mr. Springer, of I llnois, stated that the
bill embodied more than a mere apportion
ment. It was drawn iu accordance with the
principle of minority representation. It
provided for the same number
of members during the next decade
that now composed the House 293, deduct
ing the Territories and District of Columbia.
The population of the country was 49,809,-
714, which, being divided by 293, left a
population of 108.498 as the ratio for one
member of Congress. The bill was finally
referred to the Committee on the Census.
Mr. Townsend, of Illinois, introduced a
bill in relation to the retirement of army of
ficers. Referred.
Mr. Ciymer, of Pennsylvania, stated that
the gentleman from New York (Mr. F.
Wood) who had charge of the funding bill,
was ill this morning, and had requested him
to proceed with the appropriation bills.
The House then, at one o’clock, went
Into committee of the whole, Mr. Harris, of
Virginia, In the chair, on the army appro
priation bi 1.
Mr. Ciymer, of Pennsylvania, explained
the provisions of the bill, which appropri
ated $26,190,800, an apparent reduction
from the appropriation for the pending
year, though really an Increase, on account
ot reapportionment. The bill was then read
by sections for amendments.
Mr. Hawley, oj Connecticut, offered an
amendment increasing the number of en
listed men in the army from 25,000 to 26,000,
which was ruled out on a point of order.
Mr. Warner, of Ohio, offered an amend
ment providing that no officer ou active
duty in the field shall be retired without his
consent. He was induced to offer this
amendment in view of the late retirement
of a distinguished and grand officer, who
had been in service in the field ever since
the close of the war. His retirement
had been made not on purely
military, but on political con
siderations. Ho believed it was due to
General Ord, .the effiesr to whom he re
ferred, that the country should understand
that hts retirement iu place at Geoei-V. Me-
Dowell was not under clrcumstane.es In har
mony with the merits of the officers. Mr.
Warner had heard a rumor that General
McDowell had drawn,his milesge forgoing
to New York to vote, and he inquired
whether this bill contained an appropriation
for the payment of that milesge.
Mr. Ciymer replied that mileage had been
provided for in the appropriation bill for
the current year.
Mr. Keefer—Does the gentleman state as
a fact that General McDowell did draw
mileage ?
Mr. Warner —I state that It was so re
ported.
The amendment was ruled out on a point
of order.
Mr. Ciymer offered an amendment appro
priating $125,000 to pay land grants to rail
roads, fifty per cent, of what the Quarter
master General finds justly due them for
transportation. Adopted.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House, and It was passed.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, moved that the
House proceed to the consideration of
the House calendar, stating his intention to
call up the Inter-State commerce bill, a bill
of more importance than the funding bill
or any other measure before Congress.
Mr. Blount, of Georgia, differed from Mr.
Reagan, thinking the funding bill the more
important measure of the two.
Mr. Reagan’s motion was agreed to and
the House calendar was taken up.
The first bill was the Hostetter bill, pro
hibiting “political assessments,” the title
of which was greeted with laughter on the
Republican side, and though there was
some disposition shown to take it np, it was
laid aside for the present
Mr. Frye, of Maine, inquired whether the
Inter-State commerce bill would gain any
advantage by being taken up to-day.
The Speaker replied that the funding bill
was in committee of the whole, and that a
motion to go into such committee wohid
have the preference at any time.
The inter State commerce bill was finally
taken up, when Mr. Reagan stated, though
he bad reported the bill trom the commit
tee, he did not approve its provisions, and
had offered a substitute, which he pro
ceeded to support. The hour allowed him
expired before he finished speaking, and
the matter went ovtr, the unde;standing
being that when it next comes up one or
two days shall be allowed for debate.
Mr. Upson, of Texas, introduced a bill
authorizing the President to retire Briga
dier General Ord on his brevet rank of Ma
jor General. Referred.
The Speaker submitted a letter from the
Postmaster General relative to bags of mail
matter retained in the Washington post
office, which it was attempted to send
through the mail under franks.
Mr. Browne, of Indiana, called for its
reading, pending which the House ad
journed.

THE POLICY OF COERCION.
WHAT THE QUEEN’S SPEECH
WILL RECOMMEND.
Ait Irish Land Bill and other Re
form*—The Eodlih Prea* Disap
prove of Coercive measures—The
House of Lord* and the Land Bill
—The monotonous Trials— Davltt’s
Counsel to the Branch Leazne*—
Fatal Conflict with the Police.
London, January 5. —The Touts, iuja lead
ing article, recapitulating the measures
which will be announced in the Queen’s
speech at the opening of Parliament to
morrow, says: “There will be an Irish land
bill, which will neither involve a rash
expenditure of public money nor justify
an outcry against spoliation on the part of
the landlords. There will be a scheme of
army reform, involving some extension cf
the period of service, and also an amend
ment of the bankruptcy law. Besides these
first class bills, there will be others for re
storing order in Ireland and for renewing
the ballot act.”
The I‘ulL Mall Gazette, In a leading article
this evening, expresses strong disapproval
of a coercive policy for Ireland, and a num
ber of provincial Liberal papers coincide
with this view. There are rumors that Min
isters Bright and Chamberlain are also
much discouraged at the recent turn of af
fairs.
Postmaster General Fawcett, speaking at
Manchester yesterday, said there was no
reason to assume beforehand that the House
of Lords would reject the Irish land bill.
The Lords rejected the compensation for
disturbance bill, he aaid, because the com
paratively small majority by which it passed
the House of Commons showed that it was
languidly supported by the public.
Dublin, January s.— Last night some
people near Clara morris dug a
ditch across the road to prevent
the pasiage of a process server, who,
with a police escort, was proceeding to
serve writs of ejectment. The mob threw
stones freely. The riot act was read, and
the police charged on the mob. Four per
sons are believed to have been fatally bayo
neted. Beveral more were injured.
The proceedings in the trial of the tra
versers to-day, which were monotonous,
consisted of the examination of the steno
graphers. The court was fairly crowded.
Mr. Parnell was not present.
From the line of the cross examination it
is evident that one point of the defense
will be that nearly all the meetings at which
the traversers spoke were sanctioned by or
presided over by the Catholic clergy.
Parnell, Dillon and Sullivan were not
present in the ourt to-day, having,
contrary to general expectations, gone
to attend the opening of Parliament.
At the weekly meeting of the Land
League yesterday Mr. Davitt said It was un
derstood that several more meetings would
be proclaimed this week, and be counseled
all branch Leagues to give the authorities
no pretext for a suppression of
the meetings in consequence of
the wording of the placards, if
all the meetings were proclaimed.
He said the branches of the League would
be summoned to meet fortnightly, and if
these meetings were prohibited,' the only
remedy which would remain would Inevita
bly point in the direction of illegal meet
ings. If the habeas corpus act were sus
pended, he was firmly convinced that
violence aud outrage would usurp the re
stricted influence of the League.
The President, Treasurer, Secretary and
two other members of the Tralee branch of
the Land League were arrested at the
weekly meeting of the branch to day ou
the charge of sedition, in having resolved
at their last meeting to “Baycott” a man
named Ganens.
One of the rioters wounded in the en
counter with the police near Claremorris
last night has died.

struck us heavily at dinner time and created
quite a panic in business circles for nearly
three hours.
Happily for the New Year’s visitors, the
storm subsided between four and five o’clock,
and soon the “tramps” were out making their
“calls.” All kinds of sleighs were improvised
for the occasion, and many persons voted it
the joliiest New Year’s day of their lives.
Alas! this was not the case with the poor,
who were without food or fuel, and who had
suffered so much from the first storm. In the
second fall of snow they only saw a bitter pro
longation of their loss cf work aud consequent
inability to provide for their destitute families.
As nearly ail kinds of work out of doors,
and a good deal in doors, has been suspended
for the past ten days, it is easy to understand
why so many families in Atlanta are now ob
jects of charity. A large part of the popula
tion consists of poor people, who depend upon
their daily labor for support. Five days sus
pension of that labor, especially in winter,
brings poverty and distress to all such persons.
Happily, however, the wealthier classes of
Atlanta have responded nobly to the appeals
made in behalf of all classes of sufferers by
this severe weather, and food and fuel have
been distributed with an open and Impartial
hand. In fact the distribution has been so open
and prompt that many unworthy persons have
been ass sted. Hut thia is an evil that always
attends large distributions of charity in such
emergencies.
A NOBLE PHILANTHROPIST.
And right here I desire to pay a justly de
served tribute to one of the noblest and most
devoted philanthropists I have ever known in
ail my life, because his quiet and unwearied
labors deserve such a recognition, especially
by a Savannah journalist.
I refer to Dr. Amos Fax, a gentleman whom
I have observed for the past six years with a
feeling of deep admiration and respect,
although he is, in one sense, “no saint.” But
if ever a cry of distress reaches the public ear,
whether it come from scourged Savannah, or
smitten Brunswick, or afflicted Mempnis, or
any other place in need of help, it is Dr. Amos
Fox who is the “working man” among those
who respond here.
It is a comparatively easy thing for a man
of even small means to put his hand in his
pocket and give ten or twenty dollars to relieve
distress, but It is a far different thing to leave
one’s business and the comforts of home and
devote oneself zealously and patiently to the
work of relieving the distress of the hour.
Without such self sacrificing men it would be
impossible to properly apply the contributions
of the rich to the relief of the poor. When
Savannah was in distress It was Dr. Amos
Fox whose hands were busy, and when
Brunswick called for relief his never tired feet
went the rounds in her behalf. So, always and
at all times, he has been the same active, un
tiring worker, and to-day hundreds of desolate
homes in Atlanta owe their prompt relief to
his ready zeal and efficient executive ability.
The world is always the better for having in
it such big-hearted and never-discouraged
philanthropists.
LOCAL NEWS ITERS.
Major Livingston Mims, formerly of Savan
nah, has opened his heart and pocketbook and
given the liberal sum of twenty dollars to the
relief fund for the poor. Many richer citizens
have given less than half that amount.
There are two funerals here to-day worthy
of mention in my letter. One is that of Mrs
Boyd, the widow of Col. W. W. Boyd, a promi
nent Mason and Knight Templar, and the other
that of the wife of Capt. John W. Nelms, the
Principal Keeper of the penitentiary.
The elections for Justices of the Peace and
Constables passed off quietly on Saturday, al
though there was a lively contest on the part
of some of the candidates. The negro vote
was in good demand for all the candidates,
and one colored Constable was elected as the
result of a full negro vote.
The friends in Savannah of Sister Cecilia and
her devoted associates will be gratified to learn
that she has succeeded in establishing a hos
pital in Atlanta, although It has not been sup
ported as liberally as it should have been by
the citizens generally. A fair has been held
during the holidays, closing last night, from
which considerable aid for the hospital will be
realized, but not as much as is needed or the
labors of the faithful and zealous Sisters de
serve.
Lieutenant 8. A. Day (brevet Captain) of the
Fifth Artillery, now at McPherson Barracks in
this eitv, has been granted a prolonged leave
of absence, and is to prepare a “score book”
for army rifle practice. His own scores have
been remarkable at Creedmoor for the past
two years, and he now wears the badge for the
military championship. And yet this officer
commenced hts military career as a private
soldier in a volunteer regiment from Ohio iu
1861, was a hospital steward in the regular
army in !86-4, and a Second Lieutenant in the
Fifth Artillery in 1864. He received two bre
vets for gallantry during the war, and is to
day an honor to the service.
ABOUT THE WOODS FAMILY.
The Cincinnati Enquirer , in a lengthy sket h
of Justice Wm. B. Woods, says: “At the break
ing out of the rebellion a brother of William
B. Woods was made Colonel of a regiment
William B. Woods Lieutenant Colonel, and a
brother-in-law, William Warner, Major.”
This is hardly a correct statement of the mat
ter. William Warner is no doubt Intended for
Willard Warner, who, like Justice Woods, be
came a General, and after the war with
him settled In Alabama, where Woods was
elected Chancellor and Warner United States
Senator. Both still own an interest in the Te
cmnseh Iron Works (named after General Wm.
Tecumseh Sherman) in that State.
But the point I wish to correct is this: Justice
Woods’ brother was not made Colonel of that
regiment “at the breaking out of the rebellion ”
Charles R. Woods was in the regular army at
that time, a Captain in the Ninth Infantry It
was not until the middle of October, 1861, that
he was assigned to duty as Colonel of the Sev
enty-sixth Ohio regiment, the one referred to
by the Enquirer. He was a West Pointer, hav
ing graduated in the class of 1848. and been as
signed to the First Infantry.
Both Justice Woods and his brother served
with Sherman in his “March to the Sea,” and
were Generals of more than ordinary ability
Gen. Charles B. Woods was made a Brevet Ma
jor General of volunteers, for special gallantry
at Griswoldville, a brevet Brigad er General in
the regular army for gallant and meritorious
services in the battles around Atlanta, and bre
vet Major General for gallantry at Bentonville,
N. C. He was retired in 1874, with the rauk of
Colonel of hffantry, for disability resulting
from disease contracted in service. As the
Enquirer says, the Woods family was “born to
greatness,” but they achieved it only after
years of long aud patient endeavor,
PERSONAL MENTION,
The rush of Northern and Western visit are
keeps up, and is making it lively for hotels and
railroads. Few of the people, however, ex
pected to find the cold wave so severest the
South, especially in Florida.
I have seen no mention in the Mohnino News
of the dreth of Mrs. Nancy B. Shelton, widow
ot the Hon. N. C. Sandford, and mother of
Gen. Henry S. Sandford, the founder of San
ford, Fla., which occurred at Birmingham
Conn., December 21. She was in her seven
tieth year and had lived an active and t seful
life.
Rev. Tneodore Irving, LL. D., a nephew
of Washington Irving, was buried from
the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, in New
York city, on the 23d of December, with im
posing funeral services. He was a preacher, a
teacher and an author of more than ordinary
ability. He is best known in the South as the
author of “ The Conquest of Florida.”
I met Congressmen Blount and Hammond at
the depot yesterday as they were leaving for
Washington. Justice Wm. B. Woods and H. I.
Kimball left on the same train, the lAtter to
look after matters in Washington of a politi
cal character, Justice Woods has not yet fin
ished his decision in the injunction case
Think he wishes to consult Justice Bradley,
who was originally in the case, about some
points.
The presentation of an elegant gold-headed
cane to Foreman Nugent, of the Morning News
office, as a Christmas gift, reminds tne that I
not only owe him a handsome comp inient,
but my best thanks to bis efficient corps of
compositors, for the very skillful manner in
which they have handled my not always
‘ —oper” and easy copy. The “intelligent
compositor” seldom lajs his presumptlous
hand upon it, and errors are also very rare
No higher compliment than this can be paid to
Foreman Nugent and his corps, for I frequent
ly send off hurried letters that the best regu
lated compositor might view with dismay'.
GOVERNOR BROWN AND CAPT. ELZKV.
I met ex-Governor R. B. Bullock yesterday
morning on the streit, and he approached me
with a smile (he always smiles now a-days) and
remarked : “I sea you are writing up the Coa
federate Generals/'
“Yes.” I replied, “but you and Governor
Brown always kept to far in the rear to be
come Generals.”
With a broader smile he continued : “ You
didn’t know that I was one of Governor
Brown’s brave volunteers when he demanded
ths surrender of the Augusta Arsenal from
Captain Elzey. did you?”
Of course, I replied, with surprise, that I
did not, and he at on' e proceeded to describe
how the volunteers were got together, armed
and marched out fii the rain to the Arsenal
where Capt. E'zey had about fifty men at the
ports supplied with forty rounds each, and
ready to “blow h—l” out of Brown’s volun
teers if they attacked the Arsenal.
Happily few both sides there was no conflict
and when the brave volunteers marched back
to the hotel and formed iu line in front of it
Gov. Brown, Star ding on th* balcony under a
broad umbrella that sheltered him from the
rain then falling, thanked the corps for their
patriotic zeal and promptness in responding to
his call. Gov. Bullock was a Union man, but
aU hts interest* being in Augusta, where his
children were born, he was one of the first to
respond to the call then made by Gov. Brown
Capt. Elzey was a true Southern man, yet he
would have died at his post in defense of the
Arsenal unless otherwise ordered from Wash
iogtoo.
A NEW YEAR’S DINNER.
Despite a terrible snow storm prevailing
at the time, a jovial party of newspaper men
gathered at the Markham House, by invitation
ESTABLISHED 1860.
>f Messrs. Huff and Brown, to enjoy a sump
tuous New Tear’s dinner.
There were present W. A. Hemphill. Esq.,
Judge J. Troup Lumpkin, Joel C-Harris and
E. C. Bruffey, of the Constitution: Major D. E.
Caldwell and Julian Johnston, of the
peal: Major C. H. Williams and family, of the
■Sunday Uazstte; S. W. I’astell. of the Chicago
Tribune: Colonel Arthur C. Jackson, of the
London Times: Sidney Herbert and lady, of
the r'aannah Morning Nkws.
The bill of fare for the inner man was rich
in all the delicacies of the season, and while
waiting for them to be brought in the mind
was fed with ennobling thoughts from the fol
lowing “New Year's Greeting," which adorned
the second page of the bill of fare:
“A Merry Christmas’’ lingers still upon the ear.
As at another festal board we take our seats:
Its echoes are mingling with “A Happy New
Year,”
That on this ever gladsome day each loved
one greets.
May it, to one and all, prove such in ev’rv
sense.
And, filled with noble aims that shall be
wisely gained.
Leave for fault finding but a merelv vain pre
tence-
The highest joy of living having been at
tained.
▲round these tables let each guest be glad t f
heart.
Putting aside for this brief hour all care and
sorrow;
So bid them, with the old year, from your life
depart.
And daily soak to usher in a brighter morrow.
FINAL PARAGRAPHS.
Gen. E. P. Alexander’s letter to the Baiiroad
Commission is considered a most timely and
able document. The public will eventually
discover that General Alexander. Col. H. S.
Haines and Capt. W. G. Raoul, although young
in years, understand fully the railroad problem
in all its most intricate bearings.
Not long ago 1 noticed the sudden death at
the Atlanta Hospital of Dr. E. 8. Ray. formerly
a prominent physician here, but of late years
a poor wreck of humanity. A few days since
Dr. L. V. Bims died at the chain-gang stockade
in a similar condition. Buth were natives of
South Carolina, highly educated, of good fami
lies, and once enjoyed a large practice. Alas!
intemperance destroyed all their bright pros
pects and sent both to premature graves.
My little penitentiary county census Item
seems to have created quite a wide range of
comment. The Rome Courier took me to task
because 1 left out that live city and nourishing
county, which, being below 20,1 did not notice;
the Macon Herald says the reason Bibb coun'y
has 118, the highest number, is because her
Judges do their duty and “send ’em up;” the
Atlanta Post-Appeal intimates that I stopped
my research “too early.” If I had kept on I
should have found that Governor Colquitt’s
pardoning power has made Fulton’s repre
sentation so much smaller thau Chatham’s.
All of this, however, is outside of my purpose
in writing the original paragraph.
As I close this letter, at noon on Tuesday,
the weather is growing colder, with a stiff
breeze, and a very hazy atmosphere, whi.-h in
dicates snow again. It was rather damp yes
terday, and we had a light rain this morning,
but At!aata weather is the most fickle, uncer
tain and changeable thing ever known. It
beats the wind and a woman’s temper two to
one, because it can change quicker and
more frequently than either. At all
events, at tnis writing 1 pndict more cold
weather and a further suspension of out-door
work. This means more suffering for the
poor, as wood is getting fearfully scarce, and
the poor cannot well burn coal. Gov. Brown's
generous donation of one hundred tons will
help largely in certain cases, but the poorest
people need wood, and there is none to be had
at present in any quantity. This seems yet
afar off to the poor. Chatham.
