Noboby has yet oxplaiued how it is llmt, in (ho midst of "Atlanta’s corrupting intluonocH,” Macon meu have presided over the lower house of the Li'Kislaturo ever since 1873, aud part of the time over both houses. Toombs and . tephens called ou Hayes Tues day last. The visit was social. Over thirteen million dollars’ worth of eggs wore imported into England last year. ir is reported that Chief Joseph has been captured aud exchanged, but tho story is ratio i thin. In tho municipal election iu Newark, New Jersey, last Tuesday, tho Democrats made con siderable gains. Anotheu savings bank has suspended—tin- oue at Cape Cod. At this rato there will not l« many lott in a few years. No Atlanta man has over presided over either house ot the Legislature, aud wo believe that no Allanta mau has over held ouo of tho principal clerkships ot tho Legislature. More "corrupt influences.” The Marietta Journal very sensibly says that the Stato should net in tho capital matter as an iwdivi uni woul l iioiu soil-interest; and that it i* to her inti i t st to let her property remain in \ lauta where it will not depreciate. The now capital which tho Stato will not have t<> build in Atlanta is hi l costiug tho Macon rdegrapli ‘ millions ol dollars.” Poor fellows! FORAGING ON OUR EXCHANGES. —PeAChes aro still received in Savannah. —Columbus is called tho "city of tragedy.” —Macou is getting up a lair fur her library. — A number of cases of lover iu Uurko coun ty. Spur, 11 Chief-Justice Waite, and Hamilton Fish aro delegates to tho Trieuuial Episcopal Convention now iu session in Boston. The Mouroo Advertiser culls Gordon "tho battle-scared hero ot tho lost cause." When was Gen. Gordon ever seared ? Fernando Wood gave a small breakfast party at his home to Hon. A. II. Stopheus. Gens. Toombs aud P. M. B. Young were there. in aud H .ns. II, three editors who m the Inst Legislature, are iu favor 1‘illo. l’i i .il ly they saw too much while in Atlautu. Will somo ono bo kind enough to point out an iustatico iu which Atlanta has corrupted a Legislature ? Assertions are abundant, but wo call for facts. Hon J. C. C. Bi.ack and Hon. J. B. Gumming are suggested for tho Senate iu the Augusta dis trict. Either would do honor to tho district. If "The Doctor of Alcantara” breaks out in Atlauta agaiu, we shall iusist on tho immediate removal of the capital, without waiting for tho people to vote ou it. Three More.—Duncan and Lamar, ofllccrs of tho San Francisco Safo Deposit Company have absconded. A treasurer ot tho Grand Trunk railroad, has left Montreal in tho samu way. The Catoosa Courier says there is a man living in Ringgold who never heard of Brigham Young,and who thinks that General Lafayette is President of tho United States. Why don t Catoosa hunt him up aud elect him to tho Legis lature? By far (ho greater portion of Georgia’s indebt edness is caused by tho endorsement of railroads. The business of endorsing railroads began iu Millodgoville, with tho endorsement of tho Ma con & Brunswick road, and Macon’s influences were tho principal causes of this actiou. It is a pity that the champions of Milledge- ville aud Atlauta have introduced so much irrel evant stuff iuto the discussion ou tho capital. There is so much trash afloat iu tho papers that it is difficult for any reader who wants informa tion, to get it. New Advertisements. 1868 The oi.i i CONST 1877 TUTION Suffice it to say the.Democrnts havo earned Ohio by 20,000 to 25,000 majority, have a major, ity of thirty to forty in the Legislature, ou joint ballot, and have reduced tho Radical majority in Iowa from 59,000 to 30,000. Aro the papers which favor Milleilgevill afraid to publish Ben Hill’s letter ou tho loca tion of the capital ? They publish wholo col umns of extracts from each other, but they seem afraid to let their readers know that there is an other side to the question. Anyhow wo aro sorry that Fitch—lato of the Griffin Star—is not in Georgia now, to tako a hand in this capital skritnmage. He would have several scalps daugliug at his belt by tho 5th of December. "Hie jac-et,” soid Mrs. Partington, musiugly. ns she put down the dictionary, "aud it means, ‘Here lies !’ Dear, dear, what ouo may do, and never kuow it. I suppose I must have hic-jack- eted more’n a thousand times during the polit ical champagne, and never suspicioned it.” The Republicans claim that the Democratic ■gain in Ohio is due to apathy ou tho part of Republicans who remained away from the polls in order to 6how their dissatisfaction with Mr. Hayes. All right. Go ahead with your dissat isfaction, Rads. Morton, it is said, wdl be able to tako his seat in the senate, but will never be able to use r crutches again. Foor wreck ! Ho has cane < spent the best portion of his life in a bitter aud mo6t unjust warfare in the South. W ouder if he feels compensated now. The Labor Reformers of Massachusetts have had their accustomed convention and put a tick et in the field. As usual, Wendell Phillips was nominated for Governor. As long as this party permits itself to remain in the hands of such demagogues very little labor reiorm will ever be accomplished. _ BOGUS PIANO-FORTES AND ORGANS. The Columbus Times argues from tbo num ber of able lawyers who applied for the Judge ship of the Macon circuit, that the reduction ot the salary will not deprive the State of the ser vices of her best men. Those who applied knew that the new constitution would be adopted and their pay reduced to $2,000 a year, aud yet they were willing to serve. A temperance paper published at Richmond, Virginia, denounces the bell punch as an en couragement to crime, and suggests that the Legislature pass a law to the effect that every grave,the work of intemperance,from tho date of the bell punch, be decorated with the following inscription: "Rung to sleep by the Moffett bell punch. Gave his life for the State debt.* Col. W. L. Gbioe, of Perry, has been ap pointed by the governor, Judge of the Macon circuit, in place of Hon. Barnard Hill deceased. Col. Grice is as able lawyer, and one of the truest sons Georgia has. He served in tho army as lieutenant-colonel of the Forty-fifth Georgia regiment, with Hon. T. J. Simmons as colonel, whom he now ranks, and who was also an appli cant for the Judgeship. The purebuso of a piauo or orgau is a matter of some moment with most of our readers, whether wo consider tho amount ot money in volved, or tho amount of pleasure tho instru ments are expected to give,or the length of time which they should last. We feel that we are doing our readers a favor therefore, iu calling their attention to a state of facts of which mauy ot them aro ignoraut. Certain persons iu New York and other large cities, who have no manufactory, buy the cheap aud worthless pianos aud organs made by per sons who are without capital and responsibility, buve their own names stenciled on the front ol tho instruments and sell them as their own make, falsely calliug themselves manufacturers. Such are Horace Wuters, Dauiel F. Beatty, the "Meudelssohu Piauo Company” and others. Others, equally without reputation, label their instruments with a name closely resembling that of som celebrated maker, thus decieviug pur chasers who do not examine very closely. Thus Steiumelz A Sous, Stanley A Sons, and Stauuay A Co., do service for Stein way A Sous; Beckei Bros., Bekr Bros., Decker A Bros., for Decker Bros.; Webber, Weber A Co., for Albert Weber; Krabe, Keuabe, and Knabe A Co., for William Kuabe A Co., Strik A Co., and Geo. Stecke, for Geo. Steck A Co., and so ou to the end of the alphabet. These fraudulent instruments arc palmed off on the unsophisticated and nre ex hibited by the owners no doubt ns marvels of mechauical skill aud ingenuity. Whenever you see a $G50 piano ndver ised for $175, or a $300 oigan offered lor $120, you may be suru there is a swindle at the bottom. Have nothing to do with it. The only safe plau, as we have said before, is to buy from a reputable dealer near homo-a mau whom you can rely on and who knoirs the qualities of tho instruments he recommeuds. Then, if everything does not turn out as repre sented, you can have recourse ou the seller. On the other hand, if you buy from Beatty or Wa ters, or any other similar sensational advertiser, aud your instrument does not prove as repre sented, you can have no redress. But they guarantee thiir instruments, some ouo will say. Well, what is the guaranty of an irresponsible party worth ? Who can hold them to their guar anty ? Messrs. Luddeu A Bates, of Savannah, have begun a warfare ou these bogus dealers which we hope will be kept up till their worthless in struments are driven from tho markets of the State. THE PRESIDENT’S VISIT TO GEORGIA. When Mr. Hayes was nominated, the Georgia press recognized him as a gentleman of un questioned purity of character. It was not so far blinded by party feeling, os to moke war upon tho man. In this course thore was strik ing contrast between the Southern Democrats and Northern Republicans who abused Mr. lil- den like a pickpocket. When the question w; still an open one as to who was President, the South said that it was prepared to recognize aud respect whoever was declared elected by proper authorily. Mr. Hayes was so declared. The whole country felt the shock when, "You and I and all of ns fell down, And bloody treason flourished over us;" but, the bargain had been made and honor de manded that it ehonld bo regarded. No man has yet charged President Hayes with having anything to do with that iraud—that reason to law. The utmost that he did was to slaud quietly by. He was not moie quiet than Hr. Tildeu. He had no right to judge for himself as to whether he was elected or no. It was not bis provinoe. He was sacredly bound to sub mit. If Mr. Tilden had been declared elected— submission was not more his duty than when be was deolared so. His course since he hsB been President has been thoroughly consistent. He did not remove the troops because of friendship for the South, but because he did not have a right to keep them here; he did not recognize Nichols and Hampton beoanso he believed them elected; with that he had nothing to do, but Bimply re fused to aid any other men in taking the plaoes they claimed. He has simply tried to do right. Mr. Hayes has done more than that, he has earnestly striven by private kindness, to heal up old wonnds. He has succeeded. He has done more to make law the role ot the land than all bayonets have done or could do. We are glad the South has had an opporlu- nity to show the President of the United States, that while all of Gen.Grant's audacious tyranny, backed by a Congress led by Thad. Stevens and Ben Butler, oould not frighten her into truck ling, and while she defied them in their rnMit, that os soon as law was regarded and honor recognized thot she had no miserable petty spite against men who had differed with .or, fought her, overthrown her. The Southern army was an army of soldiers, not banditti. The Southern people know tho difference between an honest contest, at the polls, and a captious, unreasonable opposition after an eleetiou. Ibe Sonth has not been willing to save her faoe from jnneh smiting by any oonrse of dishonor; Bhe is v.nt now willing to bite off her nose to spite her Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly for Octo ber is au excellent number of this admirable publication.

A teleoram from Aiessila, New Mexico, dated 19th, says: "An armed mob of four hun dred Mexicans, one hundred trom the Mexican side of the river, have pos ess^ion of the county of El Puso,iu Texas,filty miles below this place. The mob threatens to massacre ail Americans. They have arrested aud imprisoned tbo county officers. Several prominent citizens have fled from tho county. A small detachment of the Uuited States cavaliy started tor the scene of trouble to-day, to protect the United States cus tom house and government property. The Mex icans claim El Paso county belongs to Mexico.” Senator McDonald, of Indiana, explaius sat isfactorily his alleged "pairing off” with Senator Morton. It was not as represented, but Mc Donald said to him "if he regaiued his strength so as to be able to go to Washington, and found the attendance on the daily sessions of the senate too fatiguing, he could rest himself by pairing off with me.” A dispatch from the mayor of Port Royal, dated 9th, says: We are iu a deplorable condi tion here.
