THE INTEREST ON THE STATE DEsT.-The State
Treasurer states that the interest on the public
debt is nearly all paid and that the receipts at the
treasury are largely in excess of the payments.
The interest now unpaid cannot, we are informed,
be called for until the principal and interest un-
paid previous to July !, 1867, is funded under the
Act of 1866 When the provisions of that Act are
complied with, holders may present their claims
which will be promptly paid. Some S5OO,O00 of
State stock have been converted in bonds under
the Act to provide for the conversion of Stale Sc

tion, and is certainly the most sensible, practical
and best edited of all the Juvenile magazines. It
is not composed like some others, of n certain
number of stilted articles, but it enters right into
the sympathes, interests, and occupations Of its
young readers and patrons, allows them to speak
for themselves, and stimulates them wonderfully
to activity of thought and expression. We con-

WONDERFUL ACRE OF Co1ToN.-The Macon
(Ga.) Telegraph learns from Il gentleman from
Eufaua, that the stalks, bolls and squares in the
brag acre of cotton belonging to Major i. F.
Johnston, near Eufaula had been counted WITHIN
the last day or two and that by close mathemati,
cal calculation the acre will yield at least FIVE, and
probably, eight $50 pound bales of cotton. old
and experienced planters who were present ana
examined the cotton stalks, said that the acre
would certainly yield five bales and with favorable
weather and close picking seven bales would
probably be obtained. This most fabulous SCUM
ding statement, but we are assured that it is true

What diseases are most prevalent ?
Capt. Hall.-Gear1y all die Of pull
monary complaints. They have no
small pox or epidemic fev6rs, such as
visit this latitude. It is owing to their
carelessness that they die of pulmo-
nary complaints. Were they to exer-
else even ordinary care they would I've

they go to the chase enveloped in their
warm clothing, the slightest e1ertion1

Then colds set in, and before they are
entirely well they go through the same
exposures, and thus cold is piled on

THE GEoRGIABILL.


The Georgia reconstruction act
which has just passed both Houses Of
Congress provides, that the Governor
Of the State shall by proclamation sum
mon the Legislature, including the ex-
PEELED members, to meet at the capital;
that when the Legislature shall SO
convene each person claiming a seat
therein shall take an oath that he
never participated in or gave aid and
comfort to the rebellion; that any
such person refusing or declaring ina
bility to take said oath shall be deem
ed ineligible to a seat in either branch;
that any person who shall falsely take
the oath prescribed shall be guilty Of
perjury and may be tried therefor be-
fore the United States Circuit Court
in the Jurisdiction Of which the crime
was committed that the persons quail
fed in accordance with the provisions
of this act shall proceed to organize
the Legislature BY the election of Off
GERS that any person by force, violence
or fraud hinderiDg another person
duly qualified from exercising his
rights as a member shall be guilty of
felony; that the exclusion Of ans per-
son or persons properly elected and
qualified from participating IN the pro-
csedings of either House on the ground
Of race or color is prohibited; that the
President shall, upon application of
the Governor of the State, employ such
military force as may be necessary to
execute this act; that the Legislature
shall ratify the Fifteenth Amendment
to the constitution of the United
States before Senators and Representa-
tives shall be admitted to seats in Con-
gress.
The passage of this bill was made
necessary by the revolutionary course
of the rebel members of the Legisla-
ture in expe1ling the colored members,
to the favor Of whom these same rebels
were indebted for the seats they oc-
eupied. Since that act Of high hand
ed usurpation the Legislature Of
| Georgia has been practically under the
control of the rebel minority, and has
pursued a course Of defiant opposition
to the terms and conditions of recon
structiOn. The State has meanwhile
been the theatre of violence and law
Iessness, chiefly resulting from the
persecution Of Unionisss who have been
the helpless and there is every reason
to believe IN most cases the inoffend
ing victims Of rebel malice. Several
oftho loyal members have been assassi.
mated and many others white and black
conspicuous in maintaining the right.

paid the forfeit of their patriotism with
their lives.
/ The case of Georgia demands the
heroic treatment Of this bill. The
State must either be restored upon
the terms dictated by the rebel faction
or made to comply with those exacted
Of her compeers in insurrection. Nc
half way measure would be of the least
ooDsequence,

Hon. William Mungen. better known

or Of representing the hoop-pole re-
gions Of Ohioin Congress Hon. Nun
gen. that Is, E. B. Mungsn, is IA nous
for the versatility Of his genius, which
ranges with equal facility through the
subtleties of poetry and ethnology, of
fiddling and finance. On the facial
angles, tibial eurvatures and general
chronological depraEity of the negro the
learned Mungen has a profundity Of
knowledge aud an eIoquence of express
sion which eonfounds the mighty and
sets at naught all the wit aud wisdom
Of the savants. Not to speak of his
accomplishments in the purely super
fetal arts of iddling and versifeation
we pass on 10 observe the great quail
ties which distinguish the Hon.
William as fnancier. and whereat his
exploits as a manipulator Of catgut OF
his achievements in poetry and ethnol-
ogy are as nothing in comparison. Ar

vention last summer our MuDgen was
instructed by resolutions to favor the
absolute reputation Of the bonded
debt of the United States and he has
done as instructed. He has mada a
speech proposing beautifully simple
remedy for all our financial troubles
TO wit. a sponge. In other words the
philosophis Billy would simply cross
out the national account and call II
squared. That is finance according to
Mungen.
The Democratic members, fearful Of
the political effect Of so bold an aYowal
Of Democrats policy, FASTENED to dis.
claim it. Brooks, Randall, Woodward

they could not endorse William. Il

CHRISTMAS.

How happy and kiud and helpful
nearly everybody feels IN the holiday
day times, when every family has a
blessed birthday to celebrate, and the
gladdest celebration Is the best.
1t would be a pleasant thing, on some
accounts, if boys and girls went from
house to house On Christmas morning,
singing carols, as the English child
rem do. Storm or shine. it is all the
same, the muf1ed up little ones stand
singing by the door step for moment
then pass on, leaving their tiny foot
prints In the snow,
One would think they would be cold.
Not they. The carol is enough TO
warm them, unless they are very poor
children and then the people in the
houses run out and give them thick
shawls and shoes. or take them in to
warm fires. How can they help doing
this after they have heard the sweet,
childish voices sing
From God, our Heavenly Father,
A blessed angel came,
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same,
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.
o tidings of comfort and JOY!
For Jesus Christ our saviour
Was born on Christmas-day.
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their 6ocks a-feeding
In tempest storm, and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightway,
This blessed babe to find.
o tidings, etc.
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth efface.
o tidings, etc.

MIR. rRumBu1.L.s BILL.

Senator Trumbull has reported from
the Judiciary Committee bill to de-
fine the Jurisdiction of United States
Courts in certain cases, which pro-
vides that the judicial power of the
Courts shall not embrace political
power or give the judicial tribunals
power to question the decision of the
political departments of the govern
ment in reference to political questions;
that the courts shall be bound by the
decision of the political departments
in reference to such questions that il
rests with Congress to decide what
government is the established one in
State; that the States of Virginia,
Mississippi, and Texas have no civil
State governments which can be re-
cognized as such by any department
until Congress shall so provide; that
the reconstruction acts are political in
their nature and their validity there
fore beyond question by any Judicial
tribunal; that the Supreme Court
shall not exercise ju risdiction in cases
growing out of the execution of said
acts in said States until the govern
Eents thereof shall be declared valid
by Congress and that the President
shall hold and proceed with all pris-
oners held in said States by military
authority, without regard to any civil
proceedings or authority whatever.
This bill, so far as it af6rms the ex-
elusive authority of Congress over the
subject of reconstruction, that is, Of
deciding what government is the es-
tablished one in State and that such
decision shall bind all other depart
ments Of the government, is in accor-
dance with the terms and almost in
the exact language Ofa decision already
rendered by the Supreme Court itself,
and therefore in no wise trenches upon
the authority of that tribunal. It is
furthermore in accordance with the
views Of Jefferson, jackson and other
cotemporary statesmen relative to the
powers and prerogatives of the legisla-
tive and judicial departments of the
government.
The measure shows that Mr.. Trum-
bulls radicalism has not suffered by
his vote in the impeachment trial.
