they will never consent TO vote tor

.y,o Danger or II.

Grants spokesman in Washington
are greatly concerned at tho character
of tho honest Legislature now in ses-
sion in Georgia, and express the fear
that all traces Of the moderate Rcpub-
lican legislation Of the past two years
will be blotted out by its action, A
few hcts gathered from the reports OF
the Treasurer OF Georgia for 1869 and
1870 will serve to give tho public II
correct idea of the style OF legislation
which Grant, Delano Il Co, regard Ms
moderate and Republican.
On tho 3lst OF December, 1869, the
estimated total receipts from all sources
for the ems ung year wero placed
ty the Treasurer OF Georgia at 81, ,3i5,
900 and the necessary and usual dis
burscmcnts for the same year, cxclu
sive of interest on the public debt, AT
10000, which would leave balance
to bc applied for the payment Of the
interest and the reduction of the pub
lie debt of sS45000 This was II very
encouraging prospect. Al the end oI
the year 1860, however, it was found
that, instead OF these hopes being
realized, under the moderate and Re
publican administration of Gov. Bul
lock, the ordinary expenses Of the gov
crnmcnt had been run up to S975,0O0
besides large debt incurred against
tho State Road that State bonds t.
the amount Of nearly $500, 900 had beer
Illegally issued by the Governor, anC
that bills had been passed granting ait
to thirty.two railroads, through which

pledged to the amount of $4,000, ,OOC

Treasurer very prudenlly asked to b'
excused from venturing on any esli
mate of the expense for 1871.

TuE PRIzE RING.-Thc long talked
of mill between Joe Coburn aud Jim
Mace, the celebrated American and
English prize fighters, came off on
Thanksgiving day, in swamp, 43
miles from New Orleans. The fight
lasted three hours, and only twelve
rounds were fought, resulting in a
"draw game," Coburn driving Mace
into his corner, from which he refused
10 come to the scratch. From de.
tailed account ii is evident that Co.
burn is an over. match for Mace, and
had the fight continued would have
been awarded the championship.
Thanksgiving was therefore proianed
by a brutal prize fight.
