GEORGIA POLITICS.

The hot haste of the Georgia Legislature
in providing for special election to fill
the vacancy occasioned by the resignation
of Governor Bullock is the subject of Sc
we're comment in that State, even from the
more intelligent and prudent portion OF
the Democratic party. The Augusta Con-
stitutionalist is taking the lead in this dis
cussion. 1t says that the illegal pointe
raised by Gov. Conley in his veto mes
sage are neither fiimsy nor factions" as hot
headed politicians represent them to be,
and takes issue directly with the majority
in the Legislature, which has hurried this
matter through both houses with such pre-
cepitation. The Atlanta Now Era de-
nounces the act as unconstitutional and
revolutionary, as it certainly is.

an EYE TO ECONOMY.

Sam Z. Twins, of the Athens Post, has
always been fast friend Of public econ
omy. He is elsted with the spirit display
ed by the present Legislature. as will be
seen by the following: --.-s....
The following is the main feature of the act in
regard to the public printing adopted by the
present Legislature:
That an act passed May tho 10th, 1866, in re-
gard to an advance of Fifty per cent in the fees
of the Public Printer be, and the same is hereby
repealed, and the prices for public printing
shall be thirty per cent in addition to those al
lowed by law previous to the passage of the act
this act is intended to repeal.
This, if our recollection is not trencherous, is
about the only measure contemplating econo-
my and retrenchment in the public expendi-
lures that has passed into law since the Cen
eral Assembly met early in October; and lit
tie study and calculation leads us TO believe that
as much as one dollar and a half, or possibly
two dollars may DO saved TO the State by its
operation in n single year. We congratulate the
friends of economy and reform upon this en-
couraging and unexpected achievement, and
shall look for heavy appreciation of Tennes-
see securities as soon as the news is officially
proclaimed in Wall street.

RICE BALLs.-Wash quarter of a pound
of rice well in cold water put it into a
saucepan with quart Of boiling water
and little salt, and let it simmer until
quite soft and pulpy; then drain it well off,
and mix it while warm with sufficient
butter to moisten il. Season with half a
teaspoonful of powdered mace, or Of cur
ry powder, IL preferred. Flour your hands
and make it into balls the size Of walnut;
drop them into stewed chicken or veal ten
minutes before it is served, take them out
carefully and arrange them over and
around the stewed meat, pouring the gravy
over all. These balls will be found very
nice. They may also be brushed over with
beaten yolks of eggs, then dredged with
grated crackers, and fried in plenty of
boiling lard, to be served as a separate dish
with fricassses, etc.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. %. 1871.


This is great centre for politicians, but
not always n good point to take observa-
tions of public sentiment. Our people are
growing more and more suspicious of the
professional politicians and more inclined
to act upon their own judgment of ques-
tons pertaining to the public interest. Our
theory Of government would be wrong and
our government itself failure, if the peo-
pie did not interest themselves i'm the mat
ter. for upon the proper exercise of their
privilege and duties of citizenship depends
the character of our general and local gov
ernments. We find many good meaning
citizens who act as though they had no in
terest in elections, as thong il was of no
consequence to them who is chosen to
make or administer laws. The result Of
such indifference cost the people of New
York City dangerous and corrupt gov
eminent, and il at one time became a very
serious question whether il would not cost
them blood and treasure TO overthrow it.
i am led to these observations
because l find in some quarters an impress
sion prevailing that the character of our
National Administration for the four years
from March 1873 is to be determined hero
by Knot Of politicians. i hear il frequent
ly said that 1--WE will soon know who is TO
be the next President, for when Congress
meets the prominent men of the country
will settle the question:" These persons
eVluehuy presume that the public men
here control the people and dictate who
their rulers shall be. They are wrong in
TINS, Tor the truth Is the people are them
selves debating this very question and
anxious TO decide it for their best in
terests.
