General Graal the Finance*.
It is really erne! for the hankers and merolianta at
the North to keep running to the President with their
complaints and b< ggieg him to help them in this time
of need. He don’t know what to do or what to say to
them, but as he is at the head of afairs and is run
ning the machine, he thinks he must say something
and therefore his responses are as vague and uncer
tain as those of the Delphic Oracle. To one commit
tee, he recommendsja return to specie payments, to an
other an issue of more currency, and to a third, be is
con committal, cot knowing what to say. If they had
asked his opinion of the qualities and capabilities of
colt, he could have told them. Or if be had been
asked the qualities of a box ol segars or a case of old
bourbon whisky, he could have answered immediately
and intelligently. Hut what does be know about the
finances except in a domestic way. He has left these
things to be managed by the Cooks. Jay Cook St Co.
and H- D. Cook have been his oracles on all matters
of finance and they have very thoroughly cooked his
goose. The Cooks have cooked his chance of a third
term to a ciuder, and it is not fair or civil for the
banks and merchants of New Fork to keep running to
Gen. Grant to tell them what to do. He don’t know
what to do.
The Atlanta Post Office Defalcation.
What Constitute. -‘A Clever Fellaw” ia
Atlanta.
In a late number of the Atlanta Herald we find an
account of the late theft and flight of young Dunning.
After telling of all the hardships of James L. Dun
ning, the Post Master; how he had hardly got through
paying for the stealings of McLaughlin, another clerk
in the office ; was now in his old age compelled to pay
over six thousand dollars more for the stealing of his
son ; the Editor ot the Herald moralizes as follows:
“And yet we cannot find it in o.ir hearts to say much
that is hard against “young Jim Dunning.” lie was
mined by being “a clever fellow.” There was no
premeditation in his defalcation. If he had determin
ed to become a rascal, he would have acted more pru
dently and on a huger scale. His books show the re
cord. A little overdratt here, and a little overdraft
there : fifty dollars too mncli hem. and fifty dollars too
much there ; all drawu doubtlesiTwith the intention of
settling up the whole score before long; then the sud
den coming of an investigating officer, and flight and
disgrace! It is an old story, and a suggestive one!
Trying his lock at the faro table ; over drawing to
night to win what was loot last night; running with
unscrupulous women and overdrawing a little under
the influence of their wiles; back to the gaming table
again, in a desperate effort to “get a turn of luck and
strengthen up,’’ and then at last,the crash!
How many of our young America are following in
his footsteps ?
Don't think you are safe, young gentlemen, because
you have never been caught. No man is safe who
gambles at all, or affects the demi-monde to auy great
extent
“Cards and women" can’t be supported long by tbe
income of a priace, much less by the salary of a young
man. The two spoiled the material of a good n
wbeD they ruined Jim Dunning.
We are authorized to say that the Government will
not lose a dollar by the deficiency Postmaster Dun
ning will replace every cent that is lacking upon
fair and square balance of the books.”
What a vivid picture the Editor of the Herald here
gives of the daily life of an Atlanta ‘clever fellow’. It
is made up of stealing day by day from the office, to
get money to spend at night at the gambling table, or
arnoog unscrupulous women. Thi9 picture was no
doubt drawn from real life and the writer evidently
knew what he was writing about. But stealing by
day, and spending their nights at gambling hells, or
among bad women, would not constitute a clever fel
low in many places. We suppose it does though iu
Atlanta as the Herald professes to be the Organ and
Index <>f public opinion in Atlanta. Everyone must
pity James L. Dunning, the father. He has been es
pecially unfortunate iu the selection of his clerks. Not
long ago McLaughlin, another of bis clerks stole from
the office and ran away, and now his son, the monev
order clerk, a very responsible office, has stolen over
•ix thousand dollars and ran away, and as he was
placed there by his father without taking any bonds,
his father will have the mouey to pay- All of this
seems very hard on the old gentleman, but if the tan
gled web of humau affairs could be traced back from
effect to tbe cause, we believe most sincerely that
James L. Dunning would be discovered to be greatly
responsible, uot only for his own trouble and for tbe
ruin of his son, but also, for the ruin of McLaughlin
and many other clever fellows, that have lived ia At
lanta. Iu that conglomeration of vice and ignorance
called a convention which met ia Alauta in 1803 and
formed our present Constitution, Mr. Dunning was a
great and shining light. We are informed that it was
he who made the movement to take the Capital from
Milledgeviile and carry it to Atlanta, and ia order to
get theuegroes to vote tor it, circulated if he did not
originate a vile slander oil the people of Milledgeviile.
The plan succeeded. The negroes, of which there
were a large number iu the Convention,were incensed
against the people ot Milledgeviile, and nearly all of
them voted to move the Capital to Atlanta ; and what
has been the consequence f Atlanta was at that time
the headquarters tf the army of this Military District.
Iu the train of the army came a large nnmber of sut
lers, carpetbaggers, thieves and vagabonds. All of
these wanted the seat of government in Atlanta, that
by means of tl e Legislature they might plunder the
State. Bullock and Mead, by turning out good men
and putting in bad, got a Legislature to su t them, and
commenced plundering the Slate by Beiz'mg the poor
school fund: then they appropriated all ofthe earnings
of tbe State Road, and finally by means of State and
Railroad boi.ds to the amount of millions. Then com
menced uu era in Atlanta such as probably was never
witnessed in any place of the same size before. It be
came tbe faxlii"D to steal from the public all day and
to spend the night at the gambling table and with
unscrupulous womeu ; and those who did these things
were called, iu tie language of the Herald, “ cleve r
fellows’’ Iu this school McLaughlin, Fry and young
D inning were educated. Here, too, I’helps, who has
lately robbed the New York Treasury, was graduated.
He once had an office in Atlanta-
We have been told that II. I. Kimball, Varney
GaskiH aud Foster Blodgett were all considered honest
men until they went to Atlanta to live. But when
■neu get into a place where it is fashionable to steal
—where a clerk who steals every day from his em
ployer and spends his u'ghts at the gambling table and
among unscrupulous women, is called “a clever fel
low” in a daily journal that professes to be a leader of
pablic opinion, we should think it would be difficult
to keep young men honest. It is entirely gratuitous
to say that James L. Dunning will pay for what his
agent stole. He placed him in a responsible position
in bis office without taking any bond for bis fidelity,
and, of course lie is responsible for liis conduct. We
would advise Mr. Dunning lieieafter to select his
clerks from men who weie not raised in Atlanta, and
make a rule, never to be departed Irom, that if one
of his clerks is found reading the Atlanta Herald he
ahall be immediately dismissed from his office.

Under the above title is to be fouud iu the Novem

ing article filled with facts and figures touching the
whole subject of transportation in the United States
both by railways, and by rivers and canals. The
great Grange movement, or that of the Patrons of
Husbandry, is discussed in a friendly ami intelligent
spirit To those who would gain a comprehensive
view of the whole subject, we commend a careful
perusal of the entire article. The periodical in which
it appears (The Atlantic Monthly) is published by Os

of great merit and interest—all of them written ex

To the general reader possessed of literary taste,
and to the members of the learned (profession of tbe
law. especially, the series of articles which have been
appearing on “English aud French Law” from the pen
ol Hon. W. F. Cooper of Tennessee, are thoroughly de
lightful as well as instructive; appearing (we meant to
aay) in “The Southern Law Review,” the able Quar
terly of Nashville, Tennessee, edited by our fiiend
Frank T. Reid of that city.
In the last decade, Hon. W. F. Cooper, one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court ofTennessee, made the
tour of Europe—not with the eyes of the vulgar thou
sands who now (lock thither with shoddy-riches and
shoddy ignorance to illustrate modern American cliar
acter; but with the highest legal and literary culture,
and an intellect of the finest training and enlarged
capacity He spent several years in tbe Eastern
Wo'ld; chiefly in England and France—visiting of
ten (as was to be expected from a gentleman of bis
enthusiasm and learning in liis profession) much of his
time in the courts of these countries. The paper be
fore us presents, as did the preceding ones, points of
contrast in the philosophy of English and Frencli Law.
It possesses all the piquancy aud force which might be
xpected from a learned and keenly sensitive personal
observer. Fortunate are the readers of “ The South

pages. Among the celebrated cases in English Courts
brought before tbe reader in the October number, are
tbe celebrated Roupell cose: those of Williams and

The Late Elections- What they Xn
dicate.
In the first place the late elections indicate anmis’
takably that the Democratic party is not dead. We
have frequently heard that the Democracy was dead
and buried. If that was true there has lately been
very extensive resurrectiofi in Oregon, Ohio and Iowa
But these elections indicate another important fact
that at the North and West the people have become
tired of supporting thieves for office, merely because
they claimed to be loyal. This cry of loyalty has covered
a multitude of tins. No matter how infamous a man's
character is; the cry of loyalty has been able to elect
bad men to office, and to keep them there after it was
known that they were thieves. But this has bad its
day. The people have become tired of being robbed
by scoundrels under the cloak of loyalty, and hereaf.
ter a man must briog some other qualifications, bat
liis loyalty, to insure his (access. Tbe Democratic
candidates in Ohio have been elected because the
people believed they were honest men. It is true the
thieves have again succeeded in Philadelphia by open
undisguised fraud, but this can't last long, tbe doom of
these rascals draws nigh.

We make the following extracts from a letter of
‘W. G. M.’ to tbe Macon Telegraph St Messenger:
Onr public school is doing an excellent business.
It is located in admirable apartments in the basement
of the State Honse, and its teacher, the Rev. J. H.
Allen, is one ofthe best instructors of youth in Geor
gia. By the aid of the school fund Mr. Allen is ena
bled to instruct his pupils free of charge. His school
is, of course, large and immensely popular. Miss Car
rie Fair has an excellent school for beginneis in an
other room in the State House.
Iu a recent drive with a most agreeable companion,
we visited the great ravine on Judge Harris’ planta
tion called “Pomona” near this city. We have before
us the account of Sir Charles Lyell, the great English
geologist of his visit thither in 1846, illustrated by a
tine woodcut. “Tweuty years ago,” says Sir Charles
“it had no existence; but when the trees of the 1 forest
were cut down cracks three feet deep were caused by
the sun's heat in the clay; and during the rains, a sad
den rush of water through these cracks caused them to
deepen, till in twenty years a chasm no less than fifty-
five feet in depth, throe hundred yards in length and
varying in width from twenty to one hundred and
eighty feet was the result," Since this eminent man of
science wrote the foregoing, the process has gone
steadily on. This mighty ravine is now greater than
ever, aud is wonderful to behold.
Speaking of Pomona reminds us of J udge I. L. Har
ris, the eminent jurist aud accomplished gentleman who
for so many years adorned the bench and bar of Georgia.
Increasing infirmities have withdrawn him fioin ac
tive file. He is seen occasioua ly taking an evening
drive on these tine autumnal days; and his active and
vigorous intellect unimpaired by bodily infirmity, oc
cupies its powers iu reading aud conversing with
friends. May lie loug be spared to his admiring coun
trymen! ' W. G. M.
“Tbe Gardes Spot of the Stole."
We take the following extract, highly compliment
ary to this section of country, from a letter written to
the Atlanta Constitution, from Monticello, Ga.:
■ The counties of Newton, Morgan, Jasper, Greene,
Putnam, Baldwin, Monroe and Batts, comprise the
garden spot of the State. All the elements of wealth,
prosperity and comfort have been lavishly bestowed
by the bounteous hand of Providence on this section
of Georgia. In healthfulness of climate, fertility of
soil, diversity of productions, and in the industry, in
telligence and virtue of its population, it will compare
favorably with auy equal portion of those magaifi
cent and lovely regions which lie south of the Po
tomac.
A new novel by Christian Reid, author of “ Valerie
Aylmer" and “ Morton Honse,” will be commenced in
A ppletons'Journal of the date of October 25th. The
title is “A DAUGHTER OF BOHEMIA.” It de
picts life in a Southern city, and exhibits all that
dramatic power and constructive talent which have
marked the previous novels of this author, and given
her a high place among American novelists.
Tbr Prize Drill at the Stale Fairs
The following is given as the order in which the

in Macua this week—the arrangement being deter
mined by drawing lots, each company having drawn
in the order named :
Friday afteinoon—Atlanta Cadets, first; Savannah
Cadets, second ; Governor’s Guards, third.
Saturday morning—Georgia Zouaves, first; Wash

.east. Ilis office is on Mulberry Street, over Board-
man's office, immediately opposite the Lanier House.
He represents the order to be in a most flourishing
condition, there being now two hundred aud sixty-
three granges in the State, and the cry is “still they
come.’ Grangers visiting tlie city during the Fair
will find hi-office a pleasant place to call.— Telegraph

MACONLETTER.
Macon, Monday, Oct., 27th, 1873.
Passing the Fair Grounds as we approached this city
to-day. we observed the awakening stir of activity
thereabout. Far away, near the entrance, a flue trot
ting animal set forth to drive round the eoaise—mao
the driver, and horse the driven, dwafed by distauce
into mere Lilliputians. People were grouped there iu
crowds, but not in the compact masses which are ex
pected to enliven the Great Macon State Fair. Tbe
distant view of these, and animals tethered in the stalls
seen through the great forest trees, constituted a most
picturesque scene. Urged by the power of steam, all
these vanished in our rear, and the beautiful city of
Macon, stood in its glory before us. The slight shower
was passed; the clouds were breaking away, and sun
shine lighted up spire and mansion with welcome
splendor.
We hastened forward to transact some business. Ells
Sr. Laney’s Restaurant speedily banished an unpleasant
dinnerlrss sensation; the polite aud accommodating
Mix of “Mix Sr Kirtland" quickly administered some
needed comfort to our soles and strengthened oar un
derstandmsrs; and Johnston, Jr., successor to Conner,
next neighbor to to Mix, (No. 3, Cotton Avenue) deftly
placed us iu the plight of him of whom the song dis
cants “When this old hat was new." A loftier,
more fashionable, more slatesinan-like beaver, no man
can find elsewhere this side of Ma-ou's Sr Dixon’s line
or any other line Thence, with head made “ level'
by the aforesaid Johnston, we sallied forth, and soon
fouud ourself iu the presence of that Prince of the
Press, Clisby of the Telegraph Sr Messenger. He
smiled blandly as we eutered, and with the moat affa
hie gesticulation presented us an excellent leathern
case for our spectacles—when we grow old enough to
need a pair! “ Thereby bangs a tale.”
We find the hotels already well patronized and rap
idly approaching the status known as “ crowded.” We
can sately commend to our triends the Planter’s Hotel
as au excellent and quiet place, especially suited for
ladies, and genteel persons of tbe rougher sex : rents
moderate, aud accommodations excellent. Your paper
advertises the house.
This, it must be remembered, is the first day of the
Fair, and the crowd is beginning to pour in with a
power ‘ The South-Western train and tbe Augusta
train (the latter on tbe Macon Ac. Augusta R. K.) are
just arrived, aud each brings vast multitude*
“ Like which the populous North
Poured never from her frozen loins, to pass
Kheneor the Dauaw."
It is said truly, no doubt, that the objects exhibited,
far exceed all ever seen at Fails in Georgia. The
only blunder the consummately wise Huff lias made
consists in his failing to teoder to your correspondent a
complimentary ticket to the Fair. But that can be of

can easily defeat the property-ow ners ' °
at every election. The officers thus
elected contract large debts for city
improvement and divide with the con
tractors; and then Congress assumes
the payment of the debt. The whole
scheme is a speculation which far sur
passes the wildest imaginings of Boss
Tweed in his palmiest days.. The
players in the game know every move
beforehand and act with perfect se
curity. The subject has far more than
a local interest; for it is made to affect
the tax-payers in the West and South
by the introduction of the new feature
of assumption of the District debts, by
the General Government. The debts
can be piled up without limit. Wash
ington Monument can be completed at
cost of $10,000,000. The whole Pot
omac flat can be raised ten feet above
high-water mark at tha cost of $100,-
000,000. Nicolson pavements tan be
laid on every street and alley every
four years, and Pennsylvania avenue
can be lined with colossal marble
statuary, beginning at the capital
with an effigy of Ben Butler in a
bottle; Parson Newman in the pulpit,
Parson Brownlow on the editorial
tripod of Brownlow’s Whig rediv-
ivus; Victoria Woodiiull balancing
on tip-toe and pouring out a tumbler
of whisky in the character of Hebe;
Brigham Young and Ann Eliza No. 17
personating Cupid and Psyche; Senator
Morton as The Dying Gladiator—
“Whose drooping head sinks gradually low;”
Susan Anthony as theMedicean Venus;
Fred Douglass as Little Morning
Glory; Deacon Smith,of the Cincinnati
Gazette, singing Old Hundred through
his nose at the Evangelical Alliance,
the whole array ending with a marble
group at tbe White House door repre
senting the Presidential brother in-law
in search of office.
This would be an admirable list of
contrivances to extort money from
the taxpayers of the country, and the
people may as well make up their
minds to it. They can't help them
selves so long as the present policy
prevails. Unlimited contraction oj debts
by the Washington ring and unlimited
assumption of the debts by the General
Government! That’s the music set
down on the Administration pro
gramme, and the people will have to
dance to it without stopping, for the
Washington ring is playing as a fid
dler whose power to compel the listen
er to dance is like that of tfie fiddle
owned by Hans" Andersen’s musical
magician.

scourge were to cease at once, these

The Relief Association are without
funds, and unless substantial aid
furnished, the poor and sick must die
of neglect or succumb to hunger and

The great Doctor Nelaton, who
died recently in Paris, was said to be
the coolest man that ever died. He
was finely accurate, and under no
circumstances was he ever known for
an instant to lose his presence of mind.
One of his doctrines was that there
was no danger in an operation after a
correct diagnosis had been made, and
when the surgeon knew what he was
about'. “If you have the misfortune
to cut an artery,” he would say, “re
member that syncope will not occur
for two minutes, and death only about
as long after. Four minutes is four
times as long as is necessary to place a
ligature on a blood vessel, provided
that you do not hurry.” . Never to
hurry was one of the elements of his
power. Once upon a time he gave
voice to a clever paradox which de
serves to be remembered by all sur
geons. “You are going too quick,” he
said to an assistant, “we have no time
to lose.”

A late Memphis dispatch says it is
estimated that there are now between
seven hundred and a thousand poor
children left orphans and homeless by
the ravages of the disease, and much
anxiety is felt for them. The orphan
asylums are already crowded, and the
relief commissioners are doing all in
their power to provide homes for
them.
Origin of the word Bogus.—The
word “bogus” is a corruption of the
name of one “Borghese,” a very cor
rupt individual, who, in 1S36 and
1837 did a tremendous business in the
way of supplying the great West and
portions of the Southwest with coun
terfeit bills and bills on fictitious
banks. The Western people fell into
tbe habit of shortening tbe name of
Borghese to that of bogus, and his
bills, as well as all others of like char
acter, were universally styled by them
“bogus currency.” By an easy and
not very unnatural transition, the
word is now applied to other fraudu
lent papers, such as sham mortgages,
bills of sale, stocks, bonds, conveyan
ces, etc.

Washington, October 24.—It v.-ill be recollected
that nearly two weeks ago the President, during an
interview of a semi-official character, said a return to
a specie basis can never be effected except bv a
shrinkage of va'ues; that the shrinkage has cow taken
place; the cuirency has appreciated to about par wi h
silver, aud the wonder to him was that silver is not
pouring out when this could take place. Ilia theory
was, the cuntry will absorb two or three hundred
million dollars of it. Sinee tliut lime ihe President,
in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, lias
been considering how such « result might be produced,
with a view of affording relief to the country within
legal limit. The director nf the mint has been acting
iu accordance with the President's policy, making
arrangements for coining gi ld tin! silver to an extent
beretofoie unprecedented, so as to be ready for a re
sumption of specie payment, there being la:ge quanti
ties of these metals awaiting coinage. The first step
ia .esumption has been taken, it having beeu ascer
tained to day from the Secretary of the Treasury that
tbe Government will pay out silver as soon as it can
be profitably and conveniently coined for that pur
pose.

Asiatic cholera in china-
Alat*.l Every Caw Cured With
PAIN-KILLER!
Dear Sirs:—During a residence of some ten years
in Siam and China, as a missionary, I found your
Paiu-Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful
scourge the Cholera.
In administering the medicine I found it most effec
tual to give a tea-enoontul of Pain-Killer in a gill of
hot water sweetenea with sugar, then, after about
tilteen minutes, begin to give about a taldespoouful of
the same mixture every few minutes until relief was
obtained. Apply hot applications to the extremities.
Bathe the stomach with the Pain-Killer clear, and
rub the limbs briskly. Of those who had the Cholera,
and took tbe medicine faithfully, in the way stated
above, eight out of ten recovered.
"".REV. K. TELFORD, Missionary in China.
Dear Sirs:—During a long residence in China 1
have used your valuable Pain Killer, botli in my own
family and among the Chinese, and have found it a
most excellent mediciue. In the Summers of 1862
and 1863, while residing in Shanghai, I fouud it an al
most certain cure for cholera, if used in time. Indeed
using it in a great many instancces, I do not remem
ber tailing in a single case. For three years I have
been residing in this place, more than filty miles from
a physician, and have been obliged often to fall upon
my own resources in cases of sickness. The Chinese
come to ns in great numbers for medicine aud advice.
Though without medical knowledge ourselves, the few
simple remedies we can command are so much in ad
vance even of their physicians, that we have almost
daily applications. We allow them to come, because
it brings us in contact with them and opens a dcor of
usefulness. In diarrhat, colic, vomiting, cholera,
coughs, etc., your Pain Killer has beeu my chief med
iciue. Yours, very truly,
REV.T.P. CRAWFOKD, Tungchow, China.
Those using Pain Killer should sti ictly observe the
following directions:
At the commencement of the disease, take a tea
spoonful of Pain-Killer, in sugar and water, and then
bath freely across the stomach and bowels with tiie
Pain-Killer clear. Should the diarrhea and crump
contipue, repeat the dost every fifteen minutes. In
this way the dreadful scourge may be checked aud
the patieut relieved in the course of a few hours.
N. B.—Be sure and get the genuine article; and it
is recommended by those who have used the Pain-
Killer for the cholera, that in extreme cases the pa
tieut take two (or more) tcaapoontnls instead of one.

Absolutely safe. Perfectly odorless. Always uni
form. Illuminating qualities superior to gas. Burns
in any lamp without danger of exploding or taking
fire. Manufactured expressly to displace tbe use of
volatile and dangerous oils. Its safety under every
possible test, ami its perfect burning qualities, are
proved by its continued use in over 300,000 families.
Millions of gallons have been sold and no accident
—directly or indirectly—has ever oocnred from
burning,stoiingot handling it.
The immense yeariy loss to life and property, result
