The Reason Why.

Why are you locking, sir, so sad
Sad, udeel am almost mad
To think, that with large stock on hand;
So limited is the demand
I've got the finest goods in town,
Silks, that are bright and soft as down;
Cassimers, Broadcloths, velvets too,
With calicoes Of every hue;
Black, crimson, purple, red, blue, green,
The choicest that were ever seem
Boots, shoes, domestic. white rs snow,
Why do they ALL so slowly go
My brother merchants, boast of sales;
Ny goods are cheap as theirs, what ails
The folksl why do they pass my door,
And purchase at some other store
think friend, can tell you why
Ofadvertising, you've fought shy;
Whilst, other business men, appear
III Newspapers-one thing is clear;
No matter, how large your supplies;
If you neglect to advertise,
Quite limited your sales will be,
Until the printer gets his fee.
ADRIAN.

Committee

This appeal emanating from the source it does,
surely will meet with that consideration and response
that it deserves. These young men, of Marietta,
have organized themselves into Society for inteee-
tual improvement, that more thorough and complete
education may be acquired and to awaken slumber-
ing and latent endowments and energies to nobler
spheres of action. They cannot accomplish the end
aimed at unless they have books. To obtain these
they have appealed to you for assistance. VIII you
give It'll They sanguinely expect it. viii you dis
courage them by disappointment If you do, you
NAV put out more than one spark of genius, that
would under other circumstances, reflect brilliant
lustre and credit upon our noble old State.
You, who have the means, and who desire the sal
walton of the youth Of the land; you who tell them
that they must qualify themselves in youth to occupy
in the future responsible prominent positions, that
are now occupied by others, come to their assistance
in the contribution Of valuable and useful books to
their Library If the ladies wish to see these
Young men act any part in the cause of humanity
and to be ornaments society, when they take their
position in the world, let them exert their holy in
fluenee and assistance in the collection OF books for
their Library that science may be ditfused and cu-
tiyated in their minds Ifyou heed their appeal the
future may reveal some of these young gentlemen as
bright and shining stars among the consultations Of
earth If example is mighter than precept, how
many examples of liberal donations, during the beau
tiful month of May, will we be permitted to chron
clef
Mr. JOSEPH ELsAs our esteemed and worthy
merchant, is the only citizen that has manifested any
interest in behalf of this Society since its reorganza
ton. He has donated the Hail. above his store, for
their assemblage, gratuitously and furnished it with
table and seats. And he does not stop there, but
has expressed his willingness to contribute money
for the purchase of valuable books. How many will
initiate his highly appreciated, noble and benevolent
examples

g-Y In Georgia there arc in process of
erection sevcnty-twosmills for the pro-
duction of cotton and wolicn goods alone,
and attention is turned in the direction
of calicoes and printed fabrics. This is
a surprising fact; but it is a natural con-
sequence following on the events of the
last five years. At Augusta one factory
has turned out the last year 6,4l0,0O0
yards of cloth, and has capital Of 5000,

Annual Floral Tribute to the Confederate
Dead.

Dead.
1t is beautiful costum which calls us to that
sole nm resort annually with gariands of beautiful
flowers in our hands, and perhaps with fearful eyes,
to encrce the mounds of the last resting place OF
those who sacrificed their lives in defence OF the
Lost Cause" Maretta's fair daughters, who will
ever revere the memory ofour fallen ones, resorted
TO the Confederate Cemetary on last Monday even
ing in variegated costumes, and with their tribute OF
remembrance-cedars and howers-with fair and
delicate hands, performed the ceremony of decora-
ton. This is the noblest tribute that can be offered
to those who "sleep the sleep that knows no wax
ing" and is more touching and magnificently beau
tifuI than the erection of marble cenOtaphs.
The scarcity of flowers rendered it difficult to the
fair sex to bedeck the graves their taste dictated,
vet the appearance showed excellent taste and ex-
onisite floral beauty. 1t would be a good sug-
eestion, if udicollsy carried out, for the young
ladies TO cultivate flowers extensively, for this
purpose, 50 there may 10 an abundance, and alt
wha will, may annually
'Bring flowers to lay upon the graves
OF lov'd ones-noble, true and tried
and it will be a mausOleum more endearin9 and alice
tionate than that which gold and silver can pur-
chase

COUNTING THE ELECTORAL roTE.

EXCITING SCENES N THE SENATE AND HOUSE
WADE AID BUTLER FIGHT FOR THE MASTERY
TIE VOTE OF LOUISIANA AND GEoRGA-wHAT
CAME OF IT.
WASHINGTON, February 1O.-At one o'clock
the senators, arm in arm, went into the hall OF
the House of Representatives. Wade took the
chair and Colfax was seated near him. Sena-
tor Conkiing and Representatives Wison, of
Iowa, and P1uyn. acted as tellers. Pruyn read
the Democratic votes; Conkling and Wilson al-
ternately re .ording the Republican votes. All
went on smoothly until Louisiana was reached,
when Mullins. Of Tennessee, objected, declar-
ing that no valid election had been held.
The joint session separated, and the House
voted, one hundred and twenty-six to sixty
three, to count the vote Of Louisiana. The
Senate, after severe struggle to draw in e1-
traneous matter, voted to count Louisiana.
The Houses again met and proceeded with
the count until Georgia was reached. when
Butler objected, because the Georgia Electoral
College had not voted on the proper day and
for other reasons. Much confusion ensued,
which Wade ended By ordering the Senate to
it's own oharber.
The House then voted, noes one hundred
and fifty and ayes forty-one. that the vote OF
Georgia should not be counted.
The Senate after most perplexing and
lauehable struggle declared, in face OF the
concurrent resolution concerning Georgia, that
the objection made in the joint session was
out of order.
The Houses again met in joint session in abb
solute conflict. Wade ordered the vote OF
Georgia to be read as directed by the concur
rent resolution. Butler objected. Wade
would hear no objection. Butler appealed
from Wade's decision. Wade would allow no
appeal and ordered the count to proceed.
Butler moved that the Senate have permission
to retire, ahich was ruled out Of order. But
Ter insisted that the House should control its
own hall. Amid the most intense excitement
Wade ordered The count to proceed. Conkling
commenced reading the result, but his voice
was dro dned By cres OF order. The
noise became deafenins, when Speaker
Cofax spraug to the Gosk, proclaiming that
the Vice-presldent must be obcyed IN joint
session, and ordering the Serselnt-at-arms to
arrest all dlsorderly persons. Colisx was Or
dering and appea ing for probably two minutes.
during whioh time the Sergeant-at-arms had
distributed his men all through the House be-
fore partial order was restored. The reading
of the result and the proclamation Of the
election followed, the Houses separated, and
the Senate Immediately adjourned.
IN THE House. Butler introduced resolu'
tion that the action OF Wade and the senators
was gross invasion Of the rights OF the House.
which resolution mas pending when the House
adjourned.
