There is 4nother bad feature
of the T.eyenue Law, though it

was years ago, but they resort to
taxes on taxes, side taxes, privilege

1t is better to make a wholesale

take it ont by installmcnts. The
Legislative cat is playing with the

q party of gentlemen, composed of
Messrs. W. Scott Clark, j Ohm Barclay,
Dave Connor, DR.. Z. g. Castlen, Henry
Ellis. w. T. Nelson, George o. Napier,
and colored man named Bob Banks,
left here in three batteaus on duck
hunting excursion down the Ocmulgee
river. They had proceeded down the
stream to what is known as Billiards.,
near Barclays plantation, when, on
yesterday afternoon, about 2 O'Clock,
the bout in which Mr. Horny N. Ells
and his servant, Bob Banks, were
seated, became capsized in the river, by
running against u log floating down the
stream. Mr.. Ellis clung to his boat. but
Bob grasped the log and climbed upon
it. So soon as this occurred. the boat
in which Messrs. Connor, Nelson and
Napier were seated, hurried to the
assistance Of Ellis and the negro, and in
the struggle to get them out of the
water, this boat was also cnpsized, and
the water was so intensely cold that the
struggle was then for life on the part of
each individual. aud as olinging to the
boats in such cold water was certain
death. each man, except the negro,
struck out for tho banks. Messrs.
Nelson, Napier and Connor succeeded in
reaching tile opposite bank OF the river,
near Barclays plantation, and after
wading through canebrake and wnter
waist deep. and through the ice in the
swamp, they managed to find their way
to Mr.. Barclays house, after suffering
most terribly from the cold. Mr.. Ellis
was drowned. The colored man still
clung to the floating log, but as he could
not swim, and was nearly frozen to
death, no hopes are entertained that he
is alive.

The New York Express gives General
Grant the following Christmas nuts to
crack: ''The election Of State Senator,
in Philadelphia, last week, whereby the
Senate of Pennsylvania is made secure
for the Democrats; the power to impeach
Governor Holden, of North Carolina, for
high crimes and misdemeanors against
the people of his State, and the credit of
his State, for corruption in Office; the
defeat OF Bullock, Blodgctt & Co., in
Georgia, and the election of Lcgsla-
ture from twothirds to threc-fourths
Democratic; the successes in Georgia
is almost overwhelming, and but for the
fraudulent negro votes, tho Federal adj
ministration, led byBullock & Co., would
have hardly corporal's guard left"
