Senator for Georgia. O Gen. John 13. Gordon, has been olected by the Georgia ,Legislature to representt Georgia in the United i States Senato. His strongest coi o petitor was the lion. A. 11. Stephens. Mr. Stephens has received the nomi nation for Coigress in the 8th 1)is triet, imide vacant by the death of the d lamented A. 1R, Wright. With Gor. don in th Senate, and Stephens in the llouse, Georgia will oortainly r have a strong tean in Congress. Criminal Negligonoe, ' No worth ier subject of legislation i. could engage the attention of our 0 General Ai.*emhly than a strict in 9 quiry into the present financial condi tion (of the State, and yet no action of a a definito character has been taken in that direction, l)ut on tho eiavn,-y - our law-makers have displayed tn ut ter itndilfferencO to the mAtter, or.d d hnve nieglected it for others of trivial at and trifling nature.

Violating their Pledges. ,f It will bc retmoanbered that during y theo campaign in this State last fall the Moses Republicans based their clie o poptular siuffrago chiefly up .on terprofessions of reform as tmadeo o in their August Convention, especially t upon theoir reooummndation of theo rat e ifietion aof the newly proposed amend. muents to the State Constitution, viz the provision in regard to the future increase of thme State debt, and the , change in the time of holditng the general State elect ion. To any who if takes the trouble to review the daily a proceedings of the General Assembly, a it is very plain that those professions I and promises of reform have, except .int a very staall number of instanoes, (J been openly violated and broken. 0 The most outrageous net of legiula ' ti that has characterized the pros ent Legislature was theO passages of a I bill appropriating the enormous sumn of $375,000 to py fr. ,,.uli pri.t ng t i4 fNojy admitted by mary 110 licans tl.at $150,000 !ou9d bav been aMtply sufficient 0or thin to expeno but it seemiAn aty.4f ottr legislatorsi so fat for get t ir solemn 'obligaione as to ap propriate znor4 than doub'o that amount. Doubtless more "light" *fet in upon their india-rubber oonscioeuso than 'the publie haf r coived. Anoher infatnous set of this body was tho imposition of a ta tbkt IMounts to oppres-ion,not to say rob. berry. If the General Assembly had an eye to the true interest at.d welfare uf the wh.i>e & ate, if could well see the fatal poLey of imtposing a tax that absorbs the very life blood of the State, thereby retarding its matorial progress, and excluding capital and immigration froi it. The people would be eontent in pay ing an exhori taut tax, had they asaurances that it would be properly disposed of and not equandered away. Nor can the d - rinant party in thi. State ever ex. pect the credit of the State to be re stored until they act reform, and not merely speak it. The Bankrupt Aot-Its Proposed Ropeal by Congress. We are glad to observe that a bill has passed the United States Houso of Representative. for the repeal of the Bankrupt Act., and we doubt not that it will be finally adopted by both branches of Congress. The question has boon often raised as to the con stitutionality of the law, and al though its enactment originally may have had a good design, in niost in stances what good theoe is in the law has been certainly perverted, and its provisions made to subsorv3 a bad end. The Act itself has been the means of the commhsion of more fraud than has been afforded 1-y any other Act of our National Legislature that wo know of. Of course there are oxeeptional casca. where no advantage has been taken to commit fraud, but generally speaking, it has been used for Do other purpose than to rilieve one's self of just indebtedness to the detriment of one's creditor. And it ham always been an iinexplicable mys tery to us how a man, iccognized as an upright an honorable citizen, could seemingly preteui to respeot the bind. lug nature of a solemn contract and then by tne foil swo-p destroy the efreor ot all obligations entered into by him, leaving his creditors but an insignificant pitt:mec, to !atisfy their honest claims. Our view of the caie may be charnetorized as "old fogyish," but there are such things os honesty and dishonesty, and thore is no mid die ground between them. We do not wish to be understood as saying that a man in taking tho bene6it of the 13ankrupt A ot nceesarily does a dis honest thing but we (do say that the majority of Bankrupt catses are un blushing frauds, and if properly in vestigated, would be found to be such. Looking at it in this light, we hail with no little pleneure the probable repeal of a law that has, in our humble opin ion, dono the country infinitely more harm than good, and is calculated to work still gr enter injury to our peo ple, if allowed to remain on the sta tuto book. Cabbage Slatd. Raw cabbage composes a part of our dinner every dlay, and I have various nmethodo of preparing it, but think thle follow ing the best. Shave a hard white cabbage, into small strips, 'To ore quart of it, take the yolk of thiroo well beaten eggs, a cup and a half of good cidor venegar, two teaspoonsful of white sugar, three tab'lespoonsful of thick eream, or two tatblespoonsful of olive oil, one tea spoonful of mustard mixed in a little boiling water ; salt anid pepper to taste. Mix all but the eggs together, andl let thoem boil for live mainuttes then stir in thmo eggs, rapidly, for an other five minutes. Turn the cabbage into the mixture, and let it scald for' five minutos, stirring it all the time. Set it on snow or ice to cool, and scive perfoctly cold. I always make enongh for two days. at one, and it keeps perfectly, and is an excellent relish to all kinds of meat. Tha iwas a pointed thievery in a Milwaueehnroh the othier Sunday -the elippling of sonie hundreds dol lars worth of tine pointed lace fronm a lady's costume. We don't mean by the last word that the fair creature wvas on a masquerade. Our purpose ia not to criticise the lady-her sad loss exempts her fromt criticism. But we des.iio to call attenution to the progresiv'e spit it exhmbited by the thief of the period and the wonderful development of the fine art of sneak thievery.
