The ColnmbiTs" Enqnirer gives the
followihg'account ola romantic mar
riage which has but receiitly come to
light: December loth, Mr. W. H. Ven
able, of Atlanta, was married to Miss
: Sallio filler, .of LaGrange. The cerr
Vmony was p6rfo}nie4 at Bqhce De
Leon Springs, Atlanta, while the couple
■were on burseback. No one was pres
ent save > b* brother o'f tile bride, the
minister, and a photographer, who
took their photographs while, they were
•sitting upon their steeds. Tuis ro
mance was not found out until 'the 2d
instant, and the happy coiiplO did not
live together until a few days ago.—
They passed through the city last night
'on a bridal tour to Florida.
Scarcity of Money.
.There is no doubt but the present
condition of all kinds of business and
•iutlustry is fearfully depressed, and it
behooves every family to look carefully
to their expenses. Winter is coming
on when ehildreu are liable to Group,
Whopping Gougli, etc. Coughs and
pulds will prevail everywhere, and Cob-
‘snmptiun, with other throat and lung
diseases, will carry off many. These
diseases should not be neglected. Doc
Atlanta, Jan'y. 1G, 1877.
Arriving here Saturday morning we
found the city deluged in mud, candi
dates for United States Senator, and
other major and minor office seekers.
The Governor and the General Assem
bly , and everybody else seemed to be
alike mercy of these coiithcfing ele
ments, if mercy they had. The elec
tioneering, button holing, and" combin
ing, and a good deal of quiet •.•bull
dozing” were incessantly going on at
the capitol, at the hotels and on the
streets, and a disinterested looker on
wonld think the fate of the common
wealth depended on. each little scheme:
The importunity of candidates is quite
annoying to the representatives, and
not much real work can.be doife until
next'week. “ :
THE GOVERNOR'S IXAUGURAL.
was univerfially applauded and general-
ly pronounced one of the ablest docn-
lpehtf .pf :thc times. His clrief theme-
is reform, and we believe -he will do
his iitmost to relieve the'bnrdens of our
tax-ridden people. If the legislature
will co-oporato with him, and we are'
impressed that it will, the expenses of
the State can be materially reduced,
and taxes proportionately lessened.—‘
Some members, however, seem to think
they are' retrenching when they talk
away fifty dollars worth of time to re
duce expenses by five dollars; This is
“saving at "the spigot And losing at the"
buTig,’” There is a strong sentiment
in favor' of hatting down ail Salaries,
and even' the pay of members may be
reduced to about "five dollars per day.-
This last mSasnre wonld be proof pos-'
itive that they mean retrenchment.—
The reduction of the number of extra
clerks will also save several thousand
dollars.
OUR MEMBERS
are getting down to work, though they
have drawn spats near the door of the
house, where they are ranch disturbed
by lobbyists. We think our delega
tion' Ml be a credit to tbs comity
and themselves. Our Senator, Hon.
William Rutherford, is sick abed, but
we hope he will soon be able to re
sumo hi3 s.cat.
There are only four negroes in the
House, and none in the Senate. They
have seats in the right hand corner,
nd appear very black, dignified and
ignorant-. They take very little part
in the proceedings, but vote on almost
every 'question. There are so few
radicals in the General Assembly that
they have no caucus organization.—
The leading and original Republican is
a horse-doctor, we believe, from Fan-
uin county. All call him Doctor, and
treat him courteously.

of Houston, lias introduced two im
portant Dills locking to retrenchment
and reform. One is to abolish the of
fice of State Printer and let the print
ing out to the lo west bidder. We think
this might be done easily by the Gov
ernor and Secretary of State, and we
hope the bill will pass. The other is
to abolish the offices of keepers of the
Penitentiary. As the convicts are all
hired out and we have now no Peni
tentiary, these offices are snperflous,
and the Governor and Secretary of
State can do the hiring out and regis
tering, thus saving two large salaries.

Mr. Editor.—Your very “intelligent
typo” misrepresented me slightly iu my
last letter. I wrote, in speaking of my
-matrimonial hopes: “She lives who will
love m j,” etc. ’Now he maliciously left
ont the “will,” and me appear before
your readers guilty of tho presumption
that some woman now -loves me.—
|Yonr error, friend Carroll. The
printer followed copy to the letter—Ed.]
I know, Mr. Editor, that I am a large
man; a smarfc.man, a good looking man,
a clever fellow; I am active and brave,
aud a great msnv other things, and
with all a good lawyer. J. admit that
is very presumptioos-in me to claim
to be all these things, but I have never
had the presnmption to claim boldly
and pubtiely that anybody loved me,t
.Unless,indeed, there were mere kindred'
tks, that would support the presump
tion.
I promised in my last -to write
newsy letter and leave sentiment alone
this time, so here goes.
.The elections have all passed off qni
etly, without any bull-dozing.
Mr. O. Grant; the next highest candi
date for Tax Receiver, will contest, I
understand, the electionjsith the sne-
ecssful.candidate, pii the ground tha
the bajlo.ts that gaye .Cunningham the
majority over prunt were put in by
those who had not paid their taxes.—
If Mr. G. makes it to appear that such
is the fact, he ought certaiDly to receive
the office, for the law passed to enforce
the payment of taxes .should be rigidly
enforced.
A. J. Hamilton and S. S. Norris were
re-elected to the offices of J. P. and
.Constable for this District on .the 10th,;
inst. After the election, th.e negroes,
after tLe style of- the. old corn -shucking
frolics, shouldered the newly-elected, as
they used to do the ovej^eer, and de
spite the rain, “toted” them mrannd
with shouts and cheers through the
streets. Hamilton presented a woe
begone appearance as he rolled about
on the shoulders of a half-dozen greasy
suf-fragrants. A sickly, despairing look
crept from his downcast eyes, but he
seemed resigned. He could not help it.
Conrt was not in session, and he could
not‘attach for contempt.” He did not
want to hold that that court was an ob
ject of contempt at all times, as a justice
once did.
Mv very near neighbor, whom Har
rison calls “Promontory”—a poor pnu
upon his real name—is a wee bit unfor
tunate. He made a stew the other
night, ont. of some spice and sugar yon
know, and fifteen cents worth of sugar.
His brother-in-law drank(?) it, where
upon Promontory got exceedingly
drunk. P. has a weakness that way,
and then Mrs. P. catches it, and when
Mr. P. is gone, little P. catches from
Mrs. P., and in either case we have to
endure the insufferable annoyance of
being an ear-witness to the “fuss iu
the family. Ou tlie night in question,
P. became so boisterous and violent
that- our landlord called for Norris, and
Promontory found himself forced to the
necessity of thinking how good that
“stew” had been, after he had been
put where he .could not keep np a
“kJip.w’'in his family. Next day the
Honorable Mayor called him to account.
P, was gently fined ten dollars or ten
days, P. begged and made elaborate
promises qf reform and good behavior.
His Honor had little faitlj in his prom
ises. P. proposed to swear. A benev
olent smile crept over the countenance
of otir urbane Mayor: “Norris, 1 give
him the Gospel.” And then in solemn
style the path of total abstinence went
down the throat of that Promontory,
and his brother-in-law drinks no more
stews to make him drunk. The mayor
remitted §3.
The We.ekiy, under its new manage
ment; is likely to prove a success. Mr.
Harrison is a forcible writer and pos
sessed of a happy style, and ere long we
hope to see the Weekly ” come square
ly to the front. '■
A Narrow Escape.—One day last
week Gapt. J. C. Elljpgton and Capt.
S. L. Turner went duck hunting. They
were in a small boat manned by a ne
gro be y. The party were drifting down
with the current, their eyes intpptly
fixed on some ducks, whirling suddenly
into a very swift current, the boat
struck a snag, Capt. Turner was thrown
ont and the boat filled instantly. Capt.
Ellington staid until it sunk out of
sight, and then struck ont for the bank
which he reached with great difficulty.
The weather was intensely coljl; lint
the gentlemen fortunately had off their
overcoats and hunting gear. When
Capt. E. got to the shore, he looked
back and saw Tnrner almost ready’ to
sink. By snob help as he conld render
in his almost frozen state, E. succeeded
in getting T. on dry land. This. had.
scarcely been accomplished, . when the
poor negro was seen clinging to the
siiag that had .-swamped them. -He was
calling for help, and crying that he
could not swim. Tnrner was complete
ly exhausted and helpless, Ellington
was too numb to render any assistance
himself, but he went to the ferry some
distance above and sent a boat to the
scene, which was jnst in time to save
the negro.

guns in the country,
