If any reliance may be placed upon cur
rent rumors, Santa Anna is making prep
arations for another invasion of Texas.
The report seems to US improbable-but if
it turns out to be true, this much appears
to rs to be quite certain, that Santa Anna
will not head the expedition. Dear bought
experience has convinced him of the mex
pediency of keeping his person on the
Western side Of the Rio del Norte. 1t
very likely, too, that other MeXcans will
feela timidity in crossing the same bound
airy, retaining as they still do a vivid recol-
lection Of the events of San Jacinto. We
shall never credit the report of second
invasion, without the most indubitable evil
dence of the fact. The Mexicans cannot
certainly be 50 infatuated in vain glorious
boasting as to dream Of the possibility of
accompanying Texas. The rumors on the
subject are easily accounted for, without
supposng that any intention such as is as
cribed to Santa Anna, is seriously enter
tanned.
That ambitious politician and chieftain
still feels sore on account Of his past defeat
and humiliation. lie burns, no doubt, to
wipe out the disgrace. But knowing this
to be impossible he would deceive the
Mexican people, and make them believe
it TO be his intention once more to try his
fortune, in retrieving what was lost, by the
late defeat in Texas. For this purpose
reports may be circulated of the march
of troops and munitions of war to the
frontiers, and other preparations, indicating
meditated descent in the direction of the
Sabine. Such maneuvres may do well
enough to amuse the idle and ignorant pop
ulation of Mexico, and to initiate the ephc-
neral glory of her favorite hero. But be-
yond that limit nothing further can be
done. There is too much of discord and
dissension at home to think Of conquest
abroad. Yucatan is yet unsubdued, and
other provinces are in an unsettled state
approaching to rebellion. Santa Anna is
just installed in the Executive chair and
has not yet had time to consolidate his
power and secure domestic union and quiet.
The attempt would be the height of folly
at any time, but more especially at the
present crisis Under all circumstances
our decided opinion is, that an invasion of
Texas is not now seriously meditated by
Mexico.

The Wings Of the country, if not salts
fled with the vctoes of President Tyler, VIII
soon be less satisfied with Wing Congress
that in factious spirit, rejects all conclla-
ton, or compromise for a settlement of the
currency question. The harsh abuse of
Mr.. Barrow in the Senate, not only OF Mr..
Tyler. but of the whole cabinet, makes its
impressions upon the country. His speech
has shocked the public mind as an indication
of Wing feeling in the United States Sen
ate. Gen. Harrison called Mr.. Webster
into the Cabinet. His crime is, he did not
leave the post Gen. Harrison on his death
bed left him. Gen. Harrison made Mr..
Forward Comptroller of the Treasury
Mr.. Tyler promoted him. His crime is, he
accepted the promotion, and did not per-
haps leave that vastly important office to
fall into Loco Foco hands! The Wings of
New York, who bearded Van Burenism at
home, complimented John c. Spencer with
one of their most dignfed and trustworthy
posts. His crime was that under the adj
vice of Wing friends, he left New York to
serve in Washington. The Wings of Ken
lucky had the highest confidence in Mr..
Wicklifte of Kentucky. He was called to
Washington, and he makes an excellent
Post Master General there. But there
seems to be crime in that! The secretary
of the Navy may be said to be the only one
of the Presidents own selection or crea-
ton. We feared him as an impracticable
abstract man, utterly unfit for the Navy
Department, but in his admirable report,
how has he surprised all!
Now, Mr.. Barrow, Wing in the Sen
ate, personally attacks such Cabinet as
that! What can we call it but factiouS OPP
position! What does the party that fol-
lows in such train seem in the public eye
to be but faction? The Loco Focos have
the wisdom to speak with respect, but from
one of our own Senators, are personal sar-
casm and insult!
We might now, if patriotism was not
worn out word in Washington, address
ourselves to the patriotism of the governing
party in Congress. Patriotism, however,
is never a worn out word with some noble
spirits there. Mr.. Clay has often saved
the country in such period as this. His
gallant mind must soar above the rage of
faction about him. 1t is within his powers
with his magic wand, to stay the clements
of confusion there. The country invokes
his action, as it has often before, and never
in vain. He reserves himself we see, from
the contention about him, to come in, we
hope, when the master spirit can appease
the storm.

About this time ten of the City Guards

But they were called of. On retiring they

they were unable, as We learn, to pass an

No TINE TO READ.--We have often en-
countered men who profess TO believe they
have no time to read. Now we think of it,
there have always been men of such char
acters, the points Of which are easily sum-
med up.
Nine times out Of ten they are men who
have not found time TO confer any substan-
tial advantage either upon their families or
themselves.
They generally have time to attend pub
lie barbecues, camp-meeting, sales, and
singing schools, but they have mo time to
read
They frequently spend whole days in gos-
slipping, tiping, and swapping horses, but
they have mo time to read.'
They sometimes lose day asking advice
of their neighbors; sometimes a day in
picking up the news. the price current and
the exchange, but these men have never
'time to read
They have time to hunt, TO fish to fiddle,
to drink to--do nothing, but mo time to
read
Such men generally have uneducated
children, unimproved farms and unhappy

LATEST FROM TEXAS.

The Picayune, at New Orleans, has
Galveston dates to the 9Th January. The
news is not important. The Picayune
says
All the papers contain General Hous-
tons Message. One or two copies of it
were received by the last packet, but we
could never ascertain what became of
them. The document is remarkable for its
brcvitv. lack of circumoction, and distinct
ness. With regard to financial matters,
the President says there is not dollar in
the treasury, that the national debt is from
ten to fifteen millions, and that the govern
ment is not only without money, but with
out credit, and, for want of punctuality,
without character. He recommends to-
tai suspension Of the redemption of the
liabilities Of the republic, and likewise that
the law authorizing the assessment of dou-
bic taxes be repealed: that the direct tax
be reduced one half, and that all taxes
heretofore assessed be receivable only in
gold and silver, or paper Of unquestionable
character, the receiving officer to be re-
sponsble for its value. lie further re-
commends that all dues and duties which
may hereafter accrue TO the government
be paid in gold and silver, or equivalent
currency.
For the purpose of raising funds to meet
present emergencies, he urges the issue of
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars of
new paper, the payment to be guaranteed
by one million acres of Cherokee lands.
The following appointments have been
made by the President:
Hon. Arson Jones, Secretary of State.
Hon. X. L. Anderson, Secretary of the
Treasury.
Col. Hockey, Secretary of War.
Major A. Brigham, Treasurer.

TIE FIFTH WEEK OF THE SEES
SION

Has passed away without the accomplish
ment Of any important object by Congress;
no bill having vet passed both Houses but
the partial appropriation bill. Nothing has
been done, nor has there been any step ia
ken, beyond the report Of the two bills by
the Committee of Ways and Means, to-
wards providing for the deficit in the ways
and means, which is Of course every day
increasing by the demands which the open
ING of the first quarter of the year accu-
initiates against the Treasury. A Govern
mcnt with such vast resources, and SO ma
ny titles to high credit as that OF the Uni
ted States, may, perhaps, afford to triiIc
with It's credit; but the eXpediency Of doing
so may well be doubted. The pride Of the
majority, who are responsible for the con-
tinuance Of this state Of things, should, one
would think, be stirred to prompt action by
the undisguised chuckling of the opposition
at the poverty of the Treasury, which is
owing, after ALL entirely to their own neg
lcct, before going out Of power, to provide
the means for paying the debt with which
they themselves had saddlcd their success
sors. Prompt action on the part Of the
Wings would turn to mourning the mirth
Of their opponents.
In the Senate, the report upon the Fis-
cal Agency is still upon the anvil, or rather
in the furnace, in which it is severely tried
by blasts hot and cold, before being ready
for the anvil. Our anticipation is, that the
debate will not be much further prolonged
on the question of reference: that the
Treasury plan will 90 to 4 select commit
tee, and that, with such notifications as
the Developments in debate may have sug,

Observation-Disclosures of Congress re-
ceive from the public treasury, 40 cents per
mile, or SO for every 90 miles for travell-
ing expenses. We believe that is the
amount. This is outrageous in these times
when travelling is so rapid and cheap. A
member of Congress pays 81 to travel from
Philadelphia to Baltimore-9O miles, and
draws $36 for mileage! He pays $40 for
travelling from New Orleans to Pittsburg
by stcamboat--say 1000 miles, and the
time occupied is not ten days-he draws
$780, This is robbing the people with a
vengeance. Some members take the most
circuitous route that their mileage may be
increased; member travelling 200 miles
a day he makes so dollars! A pretty round
sum. Some members charge 1000 or 1000
dollars mileage annually! Admitting that
the per diem of members of Congress is not
too high, who will justify these exorbitant
allowances for mileage? What excuse can
be offered for them? If none, then why
does not some honest friend of economy
propose and urge the reform upon Con
gress. The present rates of mileage were
fixed years ago, when travelling was expen-
sive, tedious and dangerous. In this day of
railroads and steamboats,, the cause of high
travelling expenses are removed, and mile
age should consequently be reduced. We
hope Congress will reform this shameful
abuse.-VHlage PA Record.

NEWSPAPERS "A child beginning to read
becomes delighted with newspaper, be-
cause he reads of names and things that are
familiar. A newspaper in one year, says
Mr. Wecke, is worth quarters schooling
to a child, and every thing must consider
that substantial information, is connected
with his advancement. The mother Of the
family being one of Its heads and having n
more immediate charge Of children, ought
to be intelligent in mind, pure in language,
and always cheerful and circumspect. AS
the instructor Of her children, she should
herself be instructed.
A mind occupied, becomes fortified a.
gainst the ills Of life, and is braced for any
emergency. Children amused by reading
and study, are Of course considerate and
more easily governed.
How many thoughtless young men have
spent their evenings in tavern or grog-

THE EFFECT OF THE UNITED STATES
BANKRUPT ACT ON LEAsEs-It is important
for the safety Of lessons, that leases hereaf-
ter made should make provision for the
bankruptcy Of the lessee, as on such an event
his estate and interest in the premises will
pass to his assignees, if they chose to accept
it, and not otherwise; if they do accept it,
they may transfer it TO whom they please
even to beggar-and the assignees will
not remain responsible for rent after such
transfer.
1t is insufficient and immaterial that the
original law contains a special clause, avoid
ing the lease if the lessee should underlef.
&c, because such clause applies only to
voluntary transfers by the lessee, and not to
assignments by the act Of la,v. Such clause
will not prevent the interest of the lessee
from passing TO his assignees, in bankrupt
cy, nor restrict them in The disposal Of il.

ANOTHER Mon IN OnIo-The Cincin-

M,Co1 Ian o 1910

MACON, JAN. 2, 1912.
Yesterday we had quite riot in our city.
Our council had passed an ordinance that
no man should vote who had not paid up his
taxes.
Yesterday the election for city officers
was held. A number Of gamblers present
ed themselves at the polls to vote. They
were refused.
ATT o'clock the polls closed: After the
crowd had dispersed and the managers had
retired, these desperadoes burst into their
room. (armed with pistols and bowie
knives) seized the ballot box, scattered the
votes everywhere, and broke to pieces the
furniture, windows, &c.
The police soon gathered, and l am hap
py to say, arrested five of the scoundrels.-
The ringleader escaped, a reward of $500
is offered for him, and | think he will be
caught.
