BUSINESS NOTICES.


Tho drift Of tho revelations in local politics Is
that Mayor Colvin will probably appoint nlr. D.
s. Hayos, Comptroller; Judge ". K. MoAlliBter,
CORPORATION Counsel, aud n1r. Marcua @. atoarns,
Commissioner Of Public Works. Judge MoAllis-
tor is now Judge Of tho Supreme Court, ia
man of high legal attalnments, and personally
yell known and respected in Chicago. We hope
he will consent to accept tho appointment Mf.
Hayes is oqunlly well and favorably known to
Chcaeo. and has hold the Office boforo, to tho ad"
vantage Of the city and credit Of himsolf. With
Mr.. ssosrns In the Board OF Public Works.
tbe pnblio will hayo ~ assurance that tho AZ
fairs Of that department will bo honestly ao'n1n-
iBtored. Three better or moro satisfactory up
pointuents could not be made. Thoy WILL 70"
t56ekQS tho executive branch OF tue no" Ivy .r:.
Il thoso selections have been made, Mayor
Colvin has shown O purpose to mako tho public
interests paramount in tho administration Of his
Goyornmont. We hope le will remain info1ib1y
firm. Flo is responsible to tho people, and cau-
not eYado or transfer that responsibility
to otlors. Tho danger ho has most to fear
is tho arrogance sf q corrnpt Common Council.
There aro many new mombors Of tho Oonncl
and wo will not projudgo them, nor assume that
thoy have sought tho place for profit. We
Bpoak from tho experience Of the past. As far
back as Mayor nice's time. the Common Council
boldly assumed to be supreme, doaod tho Mayor,
and carried things with high hand. During
tho time Of Mayor Mason, they in like manner
banded togatller to assume control and exercise
tho functions OF all the departments. It was
during this term that tho famous "Ninetoon
carried on their operations, for which d number
of them wore subsequently triod and convicted.
Despite tho great cnlamity OF the fire, tho
Common Council, in the early part Of Mayor
Medilra administration sought to exercise an
nbsolute control over tho City Government. The
remnants Of the old corrupt faetion, with some
additional recruits, combined to dictate to the
Mayor and to tho community, and to make thom-
selves tho exclusive governors Of Chicago-an
enterprise which WAS foilod by tho passage Of
what is known as the Mayors bill. It Is nasurnl,
therefore, to expect that bfr Colvin, like hspre-
aecessors, will encounter like difficulty, which
will require all his ability and frmnoss to over
como. He must do hiH duty, no mattor what
tito Council may do, Or attempt to do. He will
not want the confidence or support Of the
people In any act for the public interest," svon
nhould he thereby become ombroiled with tic
vagabonds Of the Common Council.

Our roAders will remember tho mysterious
tlcnth OF Capt. UolvocorcHsos, Of tho United
Btatos Navy, Bome time Inst summer, in Bridge
port, ct. 1t was supposed at the time that he
had beon murdered and robbed. The, deceased
WAS carrying about $4,000 in lie insurance; /;
and tho rofuaal Of tho companies to pay tho In
surance has brought about litigation which
promigea to be rory interesting. Tho companies
claim that they should not bo compelled to pay
tho money, as tho Insurance was obtained
with fraudulent dssign,-that Of securing
tho money for his family by committing
suicide. TO aubstantiaso this, they a!lege,
first that he had no means Of carrying
the premium on s17o,ooo; and, second,
that certain bondB Of the Connecticut Valley
Railroad, which It ia assorted he Ind In his pos
session, he neyor had ut all. It appears that tho
Captain loft memorandum Of thoso bonds.
Taking this memorandum, the counsel for tho
companies have traced tho history OF eyery ono
Of the bonds iBBuod by the Connecticut Valley
Company from No. ! to tho highest number
issued, and will show that not ono Of them ever
found its way into his hands. tho Significance
of this lies in tho fact that tho prosecution
claim that at tho time OF his supposed murder,
ho was on his way to New York to deposit some
OF these bondR for payment Of insurance pre-
miums. Tho present suit is against the Phuuix
Mutual Life, and will be toat one, involving
the remainder Of tho companies Interested. =

The GOVERNORS MRssAGE.-We
conclude in this issue, the publication of
Governor Moses Message. 1t is a long
and elaborate document, butone which
will we'll repay perusal, as well Oh ac-
count of the information which it en-
bodies, as the conservatism, wisdom and
practical value of many of its sugges-
tions. The portion which we have al
ready published has been read with In
terest by our people, and has been COM
mented OH by them very favorably. The
recommendation in behalf Of change
in the fence law especially seem to have
evoked unqualified approval, among the
most intelligent and rejecting. The
liberal tone of the Message augurs we'll
for the future policy of the State Gov
ernment.

The Fence Law.

The fence law of Mr.. Joseph Crews
received its quietus in the House by an
unfavorable report of the Committee on
Agriculture In its stead. he has intro
dueed bill for the protection of grow
ing crops, which seems to be subject to
many serious objections. The most
simple and effective measure of the
kind is that passed by the last
Legislature of Georgia, Of which the
Macon Telegraph gives the following
synopsis:
The act n,ny be found on pages s4th,
35th and Both of the laws of 1872, and is
entitled San act relating to fences and
stock, and for the protection of crops."'
This act declares the boundary lines of
every lot or parcel Of land lawful
fence, and provides for the impounding
of all rowing stock which may trespass
thereon, and the collection of damages
from its owners in each and every county,
after the following proceedings have
been had, which shall make the law
operative in that county: Fifty freehold
ers shall petition the Ordinary for the
benefit of the act. Upon the receipt oil
the petition the Ordinary is required to
make the fact known by posting or
advertising for twenty days. If, at the
end of that time, counter-petition-
signed by fifty frcelolders-shall be
fled in his office, the Ordinary shall
;. proceed no further. But If no such
countcr-petition is filed, or if filed, is
not by another petition signed by TWEEN.
ty-fivc frceholders, the Ordinary shall
proceed to order an election in such
county, on the first Monday IN July foi.
lowing, in which the question OF "ience''
or "no fence" shall be submitted to the
lawful voters Of the county, ana II the
majority shall declare for mo fence =

within six months thereafter.

A: TRIP TO AUGUSTA, GA, BY BOAT.
We had the pleasure of meeting on
Thursday evening last our friends,
Mcssrs. Edward Calhoun and 7. F.
Lanier, two of our best citizens and
most successful farmers, who were on
their way home from trip to Augusta
to sell their crops of cotton. They left
home on Tuesday of last week, in the
boat of Mr.. Robert Boyd. The first
night after starting they spent with Mr..
VIM. T. Carter, who knows we'll how to
entertain and "welcome with good
cheer" From that time until their ar
rival in Augusta, they suffered intense
" from the cold and wind. Fousnights
they slept most uncomfortlbly OIL the
banks of the Savannah. At times the
wind prevented their passage through
the rough shoals Of the river, and in
consequence of these delays, they did
not arrive at the head of the canal until
eight o'clock Sunday night, a distance
of eight miles from the city. AT this
point our friends anchored their craft;
and made the remainder of the trip
overland by the "pcople's line" This
was Mr.. C.'s first trip to Augusta by
boat. He represents the passage down
the river at times as exciting and little
dangerous. "
After making good sales Of their cotton,
and purchasing at satisfactory prices
their supplies of groceries, etc., they
left Augusta on Tuesday evening, arriv-
ing in Columbia Wednesday morning,
where they spent the day in visiting His
Excellency Gov. Moses, and other high
officials of the State. They peeped in
at the Legislative Halls, the Peniten-
tiary, and other places of interest about
the city.
