THE CODE.
The Phillips-Waddell Affair.
TBE PARTIES INTERESTED OFF TO ALABAMA —»
WHAT WILL THE ISSUE BE?
Considerable interest was manifested yesterday in
regard to the rcrival of the Phillips-Waddell
affair of honor. It will be remembered that
Coi. Waddell, of Alabama, wrote a very offensive arti
cle in an Alabama paper concerning Col. Phillips, the
uncle of Mr. T. J. Pbillipa of lhia city. Mr. T. J.
Phillips demanded a retraction of the article. This
Col. Waddell refused.
THE PACTIES CONCERNED, WITH SECONDS AND SURGEONS,
MKT AT
Neill’s Landing, in Florida, for the purpose of settling
the matter. Without any explanation at all to the
public, the affair was adjonrned and the gentlemen re
turned to their liomrs. Mr. Phillips, accompanied by
Col. Lay ar.J Mr. Sbocut, left day before yesterday for
Columbus, it wa j raid, for the purpose of effecting a
FINAL SETTLEMENT OF THE MATTER.
This movement elicited inquiry on the part of the
Herald reporter, and the following statements are
compressed ont of a thousand rumors floating about
the streets:
It is said that when Ms. Phillip?, through his friend,
made a demand for a retraction upon Col. Waddell,
that gentleman, through bis friend, demanded the
right to take double the time in answering Mr. Phil
lips' note that bad elapsed between the publishing of
the article, and the notice taken of it by Mr. Phillips.
Mr. Phillips replied that the article was published
in an obscure paper, and he did not see it until just
l.efo.e he made the demand. It is said, however, that
the
CODE BORE OUT COL. WADDELL
in this privilege, aud the affair was adjourned until
the expiration.of the privileged time, which extended
into early September. It is said that in the interim
Mr. Phillips has been quietly laying on his arms, and
awaiting the result of Col. Waddell’s meditations.
What conclusion he has arrived at, it is Impossible
to know or to guess. It is claimed by all who know
him that he is a man of dauntles courage
aud one of the beat shots in Alabama. As for
Mr. Phillips, he is well known here, and has been in
capital bands since the inauguration of this differ,
ence. It certainly seems impossible to adjust the
matter in any way except by a fight; though what we
say is solely based upon rumor. The Columbus Sun
baa Ibis to ssy upon the subject:
THE REPORTED DUELO.
Rumors were again rife yesterday regarding
a reported duel to be fought between Atlanta
and Russell county, Alabama, parties. They are the
same who made the trip to plorida over a month ago.
The latest we have heard is that the Atlanta party with
seconas and surgeons left on the M. and O. train last
siternoon. The others were in the city alter that train
left. Some conjecture a fight will take place at Cbat-
tauooga or in South Carolina. The parties are reported
as reticent. We arrived in the city too late to learn
any particulars.
LA TICK.
TKEEORAM TO THE HERALD.
Columbus, September 3, 1873.
Phillips and party left on the Mobile and Girard
(Alabama) t^iu on Tuesday. Reports as to where
they aro gone are various. The Alabama party were

The New York Democratic
Convention.
ANTI-MONOPOLY.
A Chance for an Anti-Railroad Victory in
California—A Tough Fight.
San Francisco, September 3, 1873.
The political excitement here is very high. At the
election to-day the People’s Anti-Railroad Ticket ap
peared to be very strong, and the general belief is
that it will sweep the field. Tbs fact is the rail
road pow er haa obtained possession and control both
of the regular Democratic and Republican conven
tions, having effectually broken down the party lines
and excluded political issues from the canvass. The
contest is between P. Crowley, Independent, and T.
G. Cockrill, Democrat, for the office of Chief of Police,
and has taken a strong sectional complexion, and is
very bitter. The Order of United Americans have
declared publicly in favor of Cockrill, and many
Democrats voted for Crowley. The contest for school
directors is characterized by much of the same spirit.
Ample preparations were made for the preservation
of order at the polls.
BEN S VICTIM.
The Massachusetts Democrats Select a Vic
tim to be beaten by Butler.
WORCHE8TEB, Mass., September 3. 1873.
The Democratic State Convention met here this

monious.

Boston, September 3, 1873.

THE GRANGERS.
A Full Ticket Nominated in Minnesota.
Chicago, Sept. 3, 1873.
The Minnesota State Farmers’ Convention nomina
ted a full State ticket. Their resolutions denounce pres
ent political parties as subservient to individual in
terests. They favor joint aid for improving Mississip
pi and other rivers. Alao favor repeal of certain rail
road charters, notwithstanding the pria of vested
rights, and tariff for revenue.
When the Cabinet Will Meet—Counterfeit
Five Hundred Dollar Bills—Indian

number of five hundred dollar United States notes
have been presented for verification, no counterfeits
have been discovered since yesterday.
The Diario Newspaper Justifies the Breaking
Up of the Republican Meeting.
Havana, Sept. 3, 1873.
The Diario to-day has an editorial justifying the re
cent breaking up of a Republican meeting by the po
lice. It says:
It is well known that a futile attempt was made at
the end of last yoar to create political dissensions
among the Spaniards hero. During the present year
these attempts have been renewed, aud with some sue.
cess, though a majority of the Spanish party, calling it
self Conservative, continued to protest against political
agitation. This agitation exists because a party haa
been formed which thinks proper to promote it. We
ought to stop st nothing when It is
o v ject to save tho secrecy thus menaced. We
should avoid all action likely to excite
pasaions or lead to serious conflict. It is our duty to
endeavor to conciliate parties, but we must say that
it is indispenslble. This political strife which lakes
forms of action contrary to the law should be
repressed. The tranquillity of the city of Havana
aud the whole Island renders it necessary that the
law prohibiting meetings of a political character be
enforced, for the meetings only serve to produce de
plorable conflicts against the citizens of
f paaiards can live in peace in Cuba no matter what
form of government the nation adopts, hot m order
to realize this, it is absolutely necessary to renounce
the formation of political and military 'parlies, else
disc or I and strife will continue to reign.
GERMANY.

Generals.
Berlin, September 3, 1873.
By a decree of the Emperor the names of distin

THE WEATHER.
Washington, September 3, 1873.
Probabilities—For ibe New England States on
Thursday winds backing to southwest and southeast,
and increasing cloudiness are probable with rain dur
ing the afternoon or evening. For the Middle States
and lower lake region*, fresh and brisk southeast and
sontbwest winds with cloudy weather and rain. For
the South Atlantic and Gulf States east of the Missis
sippi. gentle and fresh southeast and southwest winds
with partly cloudy weather and rain areas; from the
Tennessee and Missouri nortbeastwsid over the Ohio
and lower Michigan, cloudy weather, rain and fresh to
brisk winds gradually veering to the south and west
erly. The low barometer over the northwest moves
eastward, producing brisk winds over the lake region,
and followed by clearing weather in the former dis
trict, whence the majority of the afternoon telegraph
ic reporta has not as yet been ieceived.
THE PERILS OF THE DEEP.
The Gale off Halifax—Great Loss of Property
and Lives—Twenty French Fishing
Vessels go down with all on
Board.
Halifax, September 3,1873.
A letter from Guysboro, says the late gale inflicted
its lull measure of damage upon the town and the sur
rounding localities. The loss to the inhabitants of
Gnysboro, mostly to traders, is ibont twenty thousand
dollars.
It iB supposed that no less than one hundred barns
have been blown down in the settlement around Guys-
boro, and the crops which promised a bountiful harvest
completely destroyed. The fishermen around the
coast have lost their nets and seines and are left with
out means to prosecute the fall fishing.
A similar story comes from Fourche, where lumber,
barns, fishing 9tays, trees, fences, etc., are piled up in
immense drift on the road for a distance of a mile
so, lrom Fourche to tho Grand Biver. There are
only three barns standing, tbe remainder being in
ruins.
To give an idea of the fury of the hurricane, out of
two acres of hard woodland at Fourche, there are only
ten trees left standing.
The fishing schooner Thclis, of LeHavre, has been
wrecked off the north side of Prince Edward’s Island.
All the crew, numbering twelve men, wero lost off
Cowhead.
When the gile was at its higheat, there were twenty
sails of French fishermen to be seen, and it is sup
posed every vessel went down with all on board, for
not tbe slightest vestige of any of them could be seen
afterward. When the sea moderated, a brigantine,
with seventeen on board, was struck by a sea off the
east point of Prince Edward’s Island, and overturned.
When she righted, her spars were gone clean out of
her, the hull was driven on the rocks, and every soul
board perished. .The name cf the vessel could not
be ascertained.
At the Magdalen Islands the tides rose eight feet
higher than was ever known before, and the destruc
tion of property on land has been almost as great, if
not greater, as the loss at sea.
Another violent thunder and rain storm passed
rer this city last night, but no damage has been re
ported.
The schooner Ebro was totally wrecked at Cape
Breton.
Gloucester, September 3,1873.
Two steamers have been sent to Nova Scotia to aid
recked vessels.
Thirty-sly Gloustcr vessels aro stranded. Six are a
total loss. Gloucester lost s'xty thousand dollars and
thirty-five lives.
Ninety Live3 Lost in India.

The Storm Across the Ocean.
London, September 3, 1873.
Steamships arriving yesterday and to-day at British

sand bead monthly.
SOUTH AMERICA.
Filibusters at Kingston—Ships in Quarantine.
Kingston, August 23, 1873.
The steamer Virginia is still here, bat is evidently
preparing for another trip to Cuba. Tho Atlas, from
Mew York, has, it is said, brought her a new captain.
The United States steamer Canandaigua still lies
here with caeea of Chagree fever on board. Tbe num
ber of cases are diminishing daily, and as so >n as she

An Earthquake in Nicaragua.
Panama, Sept. 3,18 3.
On the 12th of July last, a severe earthquake w
felt all over the State of Nicaragua, caused, as it is
supposed, by a volcano from Momotoxnbo, which has

End of the War Against the Liberal Govern,
ment of Gautemala.
Panama, August 24, 1873.
Up to the 8th instant news from Guatemala contin
ues highly satisfactory. The revolution carried on
long by a chief called Noigar, sided by Pollsrez and
others, against the liberal governmert of Gautemala,
has at last b*en brought to a close by the active and
energetic measures of tbe present constitutional Prer

NEW YORK.
New York, September 3, 1873.
The examination of Leonard W. Brown, charged
with an attempt to negotiate forged railroad bonds,
was continued. Brown was committed without bail.
An application for tbe release of Leonard Brown*
charged with passing forged bonds of tho New York
Central Railroad, was refused to-day by Judge Dow
ling, who, in committing him for trial without bail,
advised Brown to give any information in bis
power relating to the perpetrators of these forgeries.
The effect of recent forgeries has been to lead
such a close scrutiny of the bonds of
railroads as to almost stop negotiations for such paper.
An officer of the Stock Exchange to day stated that
other parties, known to be engaged in the forgeries,
are expected to be arrested by to-morrow. He also
stated that these bonds have been in circulation since
July.
Rodman is still In jaiL He says be is surprised
that certain of his friends have not yet bailed him

Sprague, gave their individual notes to tbe Comptrol

Confessed.
Jackson, One of the Smithville Murderers
Confesses the Horrible Crime—After
His Accomplices.
(Telegraphed from Albany through the Herald Macon
Office.}
The Smithville murderers have been transferred to
the Albany jail. A Herald reporter interviewed them
to-day, in company with Sheriff Bolter, of Lee county.
He telegraphs to night to the Macon Bureau that
he saw Jackson aud.Martin in the Albany jail
to day. Jackson confessed everything appar
ently appertaining to the horrible murder
of young Johnson at Smithville, but whilst confessing
that he was cognizant of the fact, said he had no hand
in the murder. He further confessed that a negro,
named Monroe, a Savannah desperado, was a ring
leader in the mnrder.
Sheriff Salter, upon hering this, Immediately star
ted to Savannah to arrest Monroe. Jackson made a
complete statement of the whole crime in all its aw
ful details. Sheriff Salter will arrest Monroe in Sa
vannah to-morrow.
Chapter of Accidents.
Alfred Knight, a youth, whilst practising with dumb
bells in tbe Merchants Exchange this afternoon, broke
bis right arm.
A young girl by the name of Lawrence, an operator
in the Macon factory, had her hand caught iu a loom
this evening and badly lacerated.
The Courts.
In the County Court one criminal case was dii-miss
ed. Several civil cases were tried, of no public impor
tance. Nothing in the Mayor’s Court.
Tiic City Bank Building.
The new bank building recently completed and
turned over to the City Bank is perhaps tbe floeat and
most complete in the State of Georgia.
In the left hand room on the first floor is located
the main office of the Southern and Atlantic Tele
graph company. It has a fine clerk's counter, with
operaters desk and batteries to the rear. These rooms
are admirably adapted for the purpose for which thef
are used. Ascending tbe center stairway all the way
up, guarded with black walnut railing, we fiud a num
ber of large and splendid single rooms intended and
occupied for offices.
The ground floor of the right division is occupied
by the Bank. There are three main rooms and many
recesses for the convenience of the officers and clerk*
of the institution. The first, or front one, judging
from the eye, occupies one half the whole space.
Here we find the clerks, the tellers, the book keepers
aud tbe cashier, from early morning and until a late
hour of the night, busy counting money, recording the
flow of cash through the gigantic institution or an
swering questions of customers through their little
windows over the counter and piercing the wicker
work o( wire above. This counter, the desks, as in
deed all the other internal wood-work of tha room, Is
of solid black walnut, fashioned, carved aud finished
by master hands. They must have cost a small fof.
tune in themselves, Even In the window blinds v?e
find something new. unique and an improvement
upon almost anything ot the sort in the city.
PRESIDENT NUTTING.
Iu the rear room we found President Nutting, with
his floor covered with Brussels, his desk, chairs, sofas
and lounges upon the same style of magniAeiaoew as
in front. We doubt if the drawing rooms of many of
our most fashionable belles are furnished with more
taste and elegance.
THE VAULT.
By invitation of tbe president we went into the
vault, which is constructed iu the rear center of the
main room. It is a cage of iron bars, top, bottom aud
sides, placed upon a brick base commencing at the
ground, and to make it doubly secure from being bur
rowed into, floored with Stone Mountain granite a
foot or more in thickness. It appeared to us that it
would take the most skilful hand of burglars six
months of uninterrupted hard work to get to and
through that floor by a ground entrance.
Iben, when they got in they would find
THE GREAT IBCN SAFE
still to conquer before they got udj money. This sits
facing the dcor and on the back side. The teller, Mr.
Harney Powell, with an easy motion swung back the
ponderous iron door, and tbero lay great stacks of
greenbacks, bonds and valuables. But look at that
lock ! On the inside it was perfectly naked, but upon
tho outside thcro was a hole through which air
brought from ten miles above the earth could get
through. It was manipulated by a combination—
susceptible of 30,000 changes -a little silver knob,
working in a silver socket, nicely marked off with
figures and notches, which, when understood, will ex
plain how the milk gets into and out of the coaconut.
The safe costs $3,000, and, we .believe, is of Herrings’
patent. The lock had another patentees name upon
it.
Mr. Nutting is entirely a self-made min, and is
tainly one of nature’s noblemen. Commencing life
without a dollar, he has indeed hewed his way
through the granite woiId without any other assist
ance than his own mallet and chisel, directed by his
brain and wielded by his arm. He has never touched
anything and failed; a man of consummate judgment,
of positive force of character, he now handles money
by the hundreds of thousands, and as a member of the
Georgia Legislature, haa exhibited talents of a high c
der indeed.
Preferred Whisky to Anything.
Herman 8wedenborg, a susceptible youth and
clerk in a grocery store, last night wrote a pathetic
note to his employer, and after stating how much he
loved him, wrote that he wsb tired of the world, and
that when he received those few lines he would be a
cold corpse. He left the note on the counter, left the
store with tho doors wide open, and sallied forth. Hit
employer was absent at the time but aoon re
turned, and not finding his young man
on hand as usual, looked all around the premiees for
him. Finally picking up the note he read it with feel
ings akin to horror. Ha immediately shut up shop
and started out to avert, if possible, the dire calamity.
Striking tbe trail he “treed him,” not standing on
nothing looking up a rope tied to a tree, however, but
in the back room of a bar,
DEAD DRUNK.
To-day we visited the premisos and found him com
fortably snoozing in his little bed, where
Improvements.
Tho front of another store of Dempsey’s Cherry
street block was knocked out yesterday for the pur
pose of being supplanted by a building like tbe two
above it. already completed and occupied. It is a
great pity that the whole of the block cannot be thus
remodeled; but the gentleman to whom they belong
does not care about making the expenditure at pres
eut. So we understand.
The roof is now being placed upon the new store of
Jones k Baxter, at the corner of Cherry atreet and
Cotton avenue.
The new Jewish synagogue has not yet been fin
ished. Like all other churches—In this respect, at
least—it takes time to get up tbe money necessary to
complete it. As a class, the membership and the con
gregation are wealthy, aud it would seem that the
work ought to progress more rapidly.
Macon Agency of tlae Arkansas Hot
Springs.
A prominent drug store clerk of this city has re
ceived the appointment of Agent of the Hot Springs
in Arkausas. Accompanying his official document
promoting him to this elevated position, are photo
graphic views of the effect of hot water upou different
animals. Tho first picture represents the daddy of
a Georgia mule in the midst of the cotton season, and
when corn, oats, fodder, hay, bran, grass, shacks,
corn-cobs, straw, dried leaves, and everything else
can only bo bad at the store for from one dollar and
a half a bushel to fifteen dollars per bale cash, wills
four per cent, a month rates of interest between the
acaloe and the counter, with no discount to punctual
custom ore.
Tbe second picture, or after drinking hot water la
decidedly heroic. Tho two might be deecribed aa a
“developer” or carpet bagger, when ho entera Georgia,
and a carpet bagger when he is ready to leave Georgia.
Beared upon hia hind legs with the bucket of hot
water kicked over, fat as au Alaska seal, and fierce as
any picture of Andrew Jackson at New Orleans, he
stands ready to leave the springe.
.RAH persons wishing to “consult” this drug clerk,
will not apply at the old woodon store, for his office is
between 12 o’olock and Mrs. Mulligans. No Modocs
need apply, except on the 4th of July or Fridays.
The Washington Tiger Rifles at tire
State Fair.
A friend of tliia Bureau happened over in Washing
ton county laat Saturday, and that being the regular
drill day for the the Tiger Rifles, Captain Dan. Tucker,
he of course went to see them. At the tap of tbe
drum eighty-four men promptly fell into line, and
wore put through the evolutions by their brave old
Captain. Most of them have smollcd gunpowder in
defense of Georgia. Before parade was dismissed tbe
Captain made the following graphic speech:
“ Men—I want you to go with me to Macon to con
tend for the premium. These town men call us the
copperas breeches company, and they laugh at ns: but
which will be tbe most honor for us—tho copperas
breeches company to drill against the town crackers,
under their silk banners, and we win the prize end
bring it away. Men, stick to me, for, by God, we will
win the prize.”
At the conclusion of this model speech, all in favor
of going were requested to step to tho front, when tho
entire company promptly moved forward.
We extend the Captain and his company a hearty
invitation to come.

The Lecture of Rev. K. W. Warren.
We don’t know what you think of Rev. E. W. War
ren up in Atlanta, but everybody in Macon has the
highest regard for him. Iu this love and respect is
not confined to one congregation, but pervades every
denomination and every cailiDg in life.
A lecture on temperance is regarded here
as a “dry” subject, and it is so to speak
and but few men could get an audience of any great
number to hear it. But last night the First Street
Methodist Church was crowded to overflowing, up
stairs and down, to hear our former favorite pastor.
He handled the subject in that simple, straightfor
ward, useful manner characteristic of all his sermons.
If you ever get tired of Mr. Warren, we want you to
send him back to us.
The negro Sam M. Essex, chased by tho police yes
terday to the swamp and in the chase fired at four or
five times, is known in Charleston ao Tern Marshall
where he has several court bills unsettled.
Personal.
Mr.Joseph Waxelbaum is at Weisbaden, Germany, iu
very poor health. He left here quite an invalid sever
al months ago and writes home that he haB not found
tho change for the better.
But few of our fashionable people have as yet returned
home from summer resorts. The weather here is too
hot to enjoy this climate if one can afford to stay
away.
Nearly every leading dry goods and grocery house
in the city has a representative in New York.
Mr. J. F. Crutchfield returned home last night from
Boston and New England literally looking “as fat as a
buck.”
Mr. H. Fontaine, of the well known Cincinnati
house of Proctor k Gamble, is in the city, a guest of
the Brown House. He says the Herald is read iu his
city with the greatest delight, especially your poet
Moore’s column.
Seuator C. C. Kibbce, of Hawkinsville, is at the
Brown House. Gus Nussbaum and lady arrived at
the Brown House last night from an extended bridal
tour North.
Bad Roads.
We were particularly requested, by a gentleman,
yesterday to put in the Herald an account of the ter
rible condition of the continuation of the Columbus
road this side of the city line, especially where it
involves the Tattnall Square Park fence at the south,
cast corner, and near the raijroad. The
road haa been placed in excellent condition
from the city lino to Echeconnee creek, the county
line, (thanks to the County Court,) and it is the only
portion spoken of,to the bridge over the M. & W. R. R.,
that is In each a dangerous condition. Only the other
day a buggy was thrown into a terrible hole, to be
picked up by the disconsolate owner in a hundred
pieces. Do, somebody in authority, go out there and
take a look at the situation.

The Symptoms of Health.
Health has it» symptoms as well as disease.
The clear eye, the fresh complexion, the stea
dy hand, the firm step, the unclouded brain,
briskness of spirits, aud a disposition to look
on the bright side of anything are indications
that the animal machinery is iu perfect work
ing order. Happy are they whose running
gear of life is in this excellent condition, and
fortunate too are they who know how to briDg
it into such a condition if disarranged. All
who have experienced or witnessed the effect
of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters upou the weak,
broken down, desponding victims of dyspep
sia, liver complaint, fever and ague, rheuma
tism, nervous debility, or premature decay,
know that in this supreme tonic and altera
tive there exists a Bpecinc principle which
reaches the very source of the trouble and
effects an absolute and permanent cure. E
Pluribus Unum might be aptly inscribed on
the label, for the preparation is a plurality of
remedies condensed iuto one irresistible anti
dote.
Singular Discovery of a Lo*.t Will.
The will of the late Colonel W. W. Jacobs,
of this county, was misplaced after his death
in a very mysterious manner, which circum
stance laid the foundation for an extensive
lawsuit On Thursday, the day of the sale at
Colonel Jacobs’ place, a poor Italian boy
named Louis Perry, m the employ of Mr.
Winn Gunn, unearthed tho important docu
ment while employed in removing some old
papers from a secretary. Five hundred dol
lars would have been freely given for the
valuable instrument, which fact he well-knew,
but he immediately surrendered the prize to
the proper parties. Mr. George W. Darnall,
the curator of the estato, properly rewarded
him with a prize of $100.—Lexington (Kg.)
Press.
The Missino Herald Correspondent.—An
article appeared in our last issue, says the
Shelby (Ky.) Courant, in regard to one C. A.
Lord, who, it was expected, had been foully
dealt with. Since that time various rumors
of a sensational nature in regard to tbe miss
ing man have come to our cars, all of which,
upon investigation, have proven to be noth
ing but idle conjecture. We are, however, in
formed by a reliable party that he has been
seen tired, dusty and on foot, near Midway,
Ky., and making a request that some oue
would go to the springs with him. Taking
into consideration the man’s action, we can
came to no other conclusion than that he is
insane.
A curious story comes from Pru&ia. Ac
cording to old customs the uniform it which
Frederick the Great died became the property
of his valet, and was preserved in tbe iuherit-
or’s family up to a few weeks ago, when, the
bead of that family dying, tbe heirs resolved
to convert it into money. It was disposed of
for 150 thalers to a dealer in old clothes, who
soon met with a patriotic admirer of histori
cal relics, who invested 500 thalers iu the suit
Tbe next purchaser was an Englishman, who
ventured tbe comparatively high price of 8,-
000 thalers (£1,200) as a speculation, hoping
to realize as much £3,000 by reselling it to a
prince of the reigning house iu Prussia who,
anxious to .possess himself of the uuiform,
but the price alarmed him. The purchaser,
it is said, has shipped the interesting gar
ments to the United States, where he believes
he will obtain even a higher price than that
oskod of the great King’s descendant.
The London correipondent of the Western
Morning News says: There are rumors that
splendid mansion which is now being built at
Kensington, near Mr. Thackeray’* old bonse,
and facing Kensington Gardens, is intended
by-and-by to be the palace of tho Duke of
Edinburgh and his bride.
