Macon, February 21,1874.
Edieors Telegraph and Messenger: My at*
tention has been called to a nameless article
in your issue of Sunday last, which was in
tended, do doubt, to reflect seriously upon
the present “so-called” Director of the city
government. But as I have never written or
published an annonymons communication, I
shall now decline to answer one directly.
Indeed, 1 should not trouble you with a no
tice of it at all, but for the fact that you
were pleased to represent it as coming from
a “highly respectable source”—thereby giv
ing it dignity and importance before the pub
lic. My opinion is, Messrs. Editors, that
any “cilisen,” who is “highly respectable,'
and who has business sense enough to merit
public attention at all, and who is not afraid
of exposing his true motives, his ignorance
or prejudice, and who is not being made a
cat's paw of to secure some other gentleman's
chestnuts, ought to have boldness and inde
pendence of character enough to pnt his
name to whateverhe writes—especially when
he is dealing with a subject in which he is
supposed to have and hold a common pro
prietorship. Besides, I have learned, from a
three years* term of official experience with
the public, (bat but few noble hearted and
.fair-minded “citizens” will ever indulge in
equivocal and insinuating allusions—involv
ing both personal honor and official integri
ty—when dealing with a public officer through
the publio prints. And I have also Jearned
that nothing which can possibly be written
or published by an honest official will ever
satisfy the cold curiosity of a suspicious fool.
You will therefore pardon me, Mesrs Editors,
for sa>ing that I think the “highly respecta
ble source” from which your “Citizen” arti
cle emanated might well be questioned, when
we find him hiding under a mask and in*
dulging in such false and unwarrantable al
lusions as the following:
“Newspaper articles written ly city officials,
and paid for with city coin, will not satisfy the
public.”
We want no general account with $20.-
000 for labor and $10,000 for improve
ments.”
“Elected by the people, honored and
trusted by the people, fed by the people,”
The people will rise and renssume the
powers so unwisely committed to treacherous
hands, ic.”
Now, Messis. Editors, let me ask if the
clear, bright, sunny face of “respectability”
was ever seen reflected from the bosom of a
stream muddied up and polluted by any suoh
false, dirty, and illiberal sentiments as tho
above ? Pardon me, Messrs. Editors, but I
don't believe that a genuine article ot “re
spectability” ever comes branded that way,
unless it he that respectability which some
times travels as a sort of twin brother to*a
certain type* of aristocracy in thi9 country—
the bold faith of whicn fs that one genera
tion never produces a gentleman. This form
of social.disease is peculiar t o certain locnli
ties, and must always De Known an
nized as highly respectable, regardless of
the many sad accidents which will some
times happen in the best regulated families.
There arc other ‘ high grades of respectabil
ity” common to all localities. Among them
might be mentioned a class of persons which,
while single, are always/rd on public expecta
tion—a very thin gruel prepared exclusive
ly for sinecure young men—young men who
seem to learn from “first intention,” as the
Doctors would say, that the shortest possi
ble road to “respectability” . and fortune is
through that tempting, trusting wave of “cal-
ioo and lawns.” This important lesson is
early impressed on their tender minds, and
they marry by brass and presumption that
which they never could make by their brains
and perseverance. And then comes the
transformation scene, in which we see these
“calico hunting pets of sooiety” putting on
and wearing high “respectability,” under
the popular brand of “petticoat pensioners,”
with the same good dignity ond grace that
they accept their drily feed from some indul
gent fatheoin-law. But the class of “highly
respectable” citizens, which, perhaps, com**
n>and the greatest attention about this oity,
are those who measure their character by
the money they control—or expect to control
when their relatives all die. And white
your correspondent may not hang his little
hat on any one oi the three pegs I have driv
en—yet if he is half as important as he Is
“respectable,” and if ho is half as zealous
as he is ignorant, and if he really has the
I ublio interest so much at heart, why does
he not come forward, over his own signa
ture, and furnish the public with all the
facts and the proof to warrant him in mak
ing such an ugly array of charges and alle
gations. If he knows that any member of
the present city government is being “fed”
from the oity crib, or writes newspaper arti
cles. ant’ pays for the same with city coin ;
or passes in to the City Treasurer vouchers,
or “general accounts.” covered up under
the very convenient head of laber and im
provements ; or if be knows that ireacho-
rous hands are playing with the public inter
est in any way, why, in the name of that
“common sense,” which, he says, “still
holds eway,” does he not come forward and
expose this infamy, and thereby place him
self before the people of Macon as a hero
and public benefactor—all of which they
would concede him at once.*
But if, on the other hand, he is iuakiug
these charges and iudulgitig iu these specu»
laiions without the proof to sustain him,
does he not write himself down as a pitiable
victim of some malicious spleen—a common
busy body, ora slanderer ? Let your cor
respondent answer this question and assume
that character which suits him best
1 have served the people of Macon to the
best of my ability for a little more than three
years, during which time I have never per
mitted my private interest to conflict in any
way with my official duty; bnl in the con
trary, have always sacrificed the former for
the latter. Boring this three years' term of
service I have furnished the public with
“threedose, accuiate financial statements of
their affairs,” making an average of one re*
port for every twelve months, which, in con*
nection with the quarterly reports of the
Treasury, is about as often as the public
eye expects or the public good demands it;
aud l believe is about as often as any Mayor
in this country is expected to present his tax
payers with an exhitiit of their city affairs,
and is, I believe, a little more frequent than
any Mayor preceding me was ever called on
to report. Al least I do not remember to
have seen any Mayor’s report for three or
four years prior to my election to that office.
i Oo retiring from my office next December
shall furnirii the public with my fourth and
List report.which shall embrace all and every-
tl ing connected with the city government,
including a full exhibit of the late State Fair.
An itemized statement showing the total re
ceipts from said fair was made out in my of
fice and submitted to Council more than two
months ago. But the publication of it hasnot
been thought proper or necessary until a sim
ilar exhibit, showing the expenditures, could
be made out by the Treasurer. This he has
beeu unable to do, for the simple reason that
all the various and ccmplicated acounls grow
ing out of,the Fair have not been adjusted. Nor
could'they have been without neglecting other
demauds aud liabililties of the city, equally
pressing and important. When all these ac
counts have been presented and paid—ther.
both sides of the picture will appear— a pic
ture, by the way. of whichl hare no cause to
be ashamed, it having written and painted
all over its face “Success,” in the finest,
boldest style of the art.
And just here I will venture to remark that
what seems to be the special burden of “citi
zen’s” mind, happens to be my special pride
and delight, namely, the State Fair and its
‘'results'?' I know there are numerous indi
in which that fair was run. But I have no
apologies to make any gentleman on that
score. If I have any real vanity in the world,'
it is about that State Fair business. It ruus
into a sort of pet idolatry wrh me. And
not at their option or choice, but by and thro’
the constant urgent repeated special appeals
and praying petitions, signed and indorsed by
all grades and classes of our tax-paying peo
ple. If he had known and thought of all
tliis. would he still have persisted in press
ing these questions upon tho Mayor and
Council? And he can’t plead ignorance on
any of the above points, for these items of
public expenditure and donation have been
xiduals abo'at Macon who don't like the style fought over in public Council, and published
f.S. —a. — T>.. A T t I ...» At l iL _ .1 . A
nothing but the most overweening modesty (?} respondent
(excuse me, Messrs. Bditors) has prevented exhibit, th
the publication of the “State Fair receipts,”
a full itemized and detailed statement of which
I now send yon to be published, and paid for
with city coin if yon please. This is my part
ot the report, Messrs. Editors, a report which,
as before stated, has been ready for two
months, and which would have been publish
ed bnt for (he two reasons assigned above.
If yon think. Messrs. Editors, that the re.
salt is satistactory, (considering the “pan
icky time” in which our fair was held) I* want
you to say so—if for no other reason than to
sooth the nerves and dispel the uneasiness
and anxiety of’“Citizen.” If, however, in
your examination of the report you shonld
ffird anything that looks like failure or defeat
about if, I want you to take hold of (he doc
ument without gloves, and point out to the
“citizens” of Macon that portion where you
think “treacherous, faithlc«s*' hands have
touched it. But, Messrs. Editors, I think yon
will find in this report something to interest
yon—something to congratulate yourself and
the people of Macon for. when yon have ta
ken into account the utterly impoverished
and depressed condition of the country—the
unparalleled scarcity of money—the partial
failure of crops—the frightful future which
then loomed lip before cur people, when all
this is considered and you then turn to the
column of figures on the light of this report
and find that they foot up in receipts $31,-
180 80. I think you will agree with me in
saying that such an exhibit, under such cir
cumstances, is unparalleled in the history of
Fairs. My vanity has been on tip toe about
this thing for months. I have felt brlf-in
clmed to call a public meeting and ask the
citizens of Macon to leoder a vote of thanks to
the whole people all over the country for the
great and overwhelming support which was
given to our enterprise. I have felt like
thanking them in the name of ihe people of
Georgia, In tho name of the State Agricultu
ral Society, aud iu the name of the people of
Macon. - For they came here, Messrs. Edi
tors, from New York to New Orleans—from
Ohio to the seaboard—and by their united
effort succeeded in culminating our exhibi
tion into one great, glorious, Irinmphnut suc
cess.
And now, Messrs. Editors, permit me to
say that the affairs of the city are all being
“directed” to the best of my skill and ability
—nothing beihg withheld from the public—
nothing being concealed. And 1 call the at.
tention of Citizen to-the fact that the offices
and books of the Treasurer, Clerk nd As
sessor are always open for the inspection and
information of “Citizen” or citizens. If any
tax-payer in Macon has ever called at the
City Hall for any sort of business informa
tion pertaining to that office and failed to get
it, I am ignorant of the tact. There arc no
irivatc papers about that office, at least that
" am aware of.
The City Clerk and the City Treasurer are
officers of the people, and elected by the peo
ple, and, like myself, responsible to the
for-Umir good or bad conduct.
in every possible way through the columns of
your valuable paper, time and again, during
the past eight or ten months.
Bnt enough. That ‘special exposition’
shall come. In the meantime, if your cor-
cau’t wait for the Treasurer’s
then he must fall back on his lit*
tie peevish threatenings and ‘rise and reas-
sutue the power so unwisely cotofnmted to
treacherous hands,' and proceed to ‘unmake'
those who have so ‘faithlessly’ guarded ,the
public interest. But whatever .else he may
do, Messrs. Editors, please advise him, for
me, never again to indulge iu ffafht most dis
gusting of all cants and' delusions—ih&i of
supposing for one moment that all public offi.
cers can be so highly ‘honored,’ so fully
‘trusted,* and so fatly fed’ that The obliga
tions giowing out of tbeir office w«U force
GRAND LOTTERY
creature of the Mayor and City Council, and
responsible to the Mayor and Council for the
faithful discharge of his duties. If he neg
lects them, the Mayor and Council are re
sponsible, and will be so held by the public.
Hence, no excuse can be furnished for the
silly attack made by “Citizen” upon the As.
setsor; unless, in charity for his foolish
course, we allow him to plea i ignorance or
infancy. And if snch be admissable, your
correspondent ought to have the benefit ot
both. For you never printed in your office
any little document more heavily freighted
with that peculiar “bliss” which is said to
hover around localities where it is folly to be
wise. *Citizen' certainly knows nothing of
the duties required of the Assessor, or the
prompt and satisfactory manner in which
they have been performed. If be had, that
word sinecure wonld never have slipped into
his composition
But that expose so much^desired will be
cheerfully given by the Treasurer, at the
proper time and proper place. There is no
necessity whatever for uneasiness. 1 hei e has
been no idle money belonging to the Treasu
ry held up by private parlies for private use.
We have been down to the 'hard-pan' in the
City Treasury ever since last September.—
Every dollar has been paid out promptly as
fast as received from tuxes, licenses, and tbe
fair, as well as what little we could borrow
from the banks and individuals—the most ur
gent demands always receiving first atten
tion. If all other accounts have been laid
aside, and exclusive preference had been
;iven to those accounts growing out of the
fate Fair, then perhaps this special account
might have been.-adjusted, pr<
individual connected in any way
terprise, in and out of Macon,'had come
promptly up with his dr her account and of
fered settlement. But this is simply absurd
to suppose, as every officer connected with
the financial management of the city will tes
tify, that some of these little State Fair bills
and accounts are coming up now almost daily
for approval and settlement, in the way of
city taxes, licences, etc. So much for the
style of ignorance displayed by your-highly
respectable correspondent. So mnch for bis
knowledge of the workings of State. Fairs,
when run, as this one was. in co-partnership
with a city government. And yet in the face
of all this, the ignorance and impertinence of
your correspondent props him up under these
seemingly legit mate and wise questions :-4-
“Why'has thik delay been so long wBsiEM’
ness so pressing or time so precious that the
City ‘Director’ can’t give us an account of
the operations aud results of the State Fair?”
Now. Messrs. Editors, bad your correspon
dent known that three buildings erected al
Central City Park last summer—not by order
of the city director,* but by special order and
contract made by Council—actually cost more
thanmough to absorb omMliird of all the
State Fair receipts, say $10,500. Had he
known, too, that more than $10,000 in cash
premiums was paid to the society and indi
viduals before the officers of the State Agri
cultural Society left the Fair Grounds—had
he known, this and the additional fact that
over $12,000. cash lias been paid for the pur.
chase of the labratory—over $7,500 paid and
being paid for the purchase of two public
schaolliouse lots—over $7,000 paid and proma
ised to be paid to the Wesleyan Female Col
lege an«l the Sisters of Mercy—over $12,000
paid and being paid to the Macon Fire De
partment—$4,000 for Catholic College Jot;
$1,500 in settlement of old law suits against
the city, aggregating more than $GO.OQO,
leaving out the public sciioolhou.se now in
process of construction, on which has been
paid $2,500 to $3,000 If he had known.all
this. Messrs. Editors, and tbe still farther
fact (hat we are running onr city government
on a lower rate of taxation than any city in
the State—namely, I per cent. If he had
known this, and reflected for one moment that
racli and every on* of the above items of do
nation and expense has been just as pr. sring
and regarded by the City Director just as im
portant as any bill that was made for account
for tbe Georgia Stale Fair. I repeat, it he
had known all this would he still have in.,
suited ‘common sense’ by ‘propounding a
few questions?’ especially those questions An exchange says
last above quoted. * will* a snnl so dead.
If your correspondent bad known all this,
and the still more important fact, tb:ii all this
extraordinory expense anti donation- areoiini
has been piled upon the present Mayor uml
them to submit tamely to the published in
sults and indignities of a ‘highly respectable
citizen' —even though that ‘Citizen’ may have
been their friend—and *votedfor then? repeat
edly. Such terms and condiiiouu are uever
implied m the election of any gentleman to
office, 1 recognize no such obligation grow
ing out of my office as are hinted at by your
highly respectable correspondent. I feel that
Macon has done no more for tne than I hnve
done for Macon. I have devoted the best
portion of my life, and all the money I could
make or borrow, (o. the bui-diog up aud im
proving the city; and for the past three
years 1 have devoted more than four fifths of
my time and attention to her public interests;
and when I retire from my office next De
cember. f proposo that honors'shall be left
perfectly easy all round.
And now, as a tort of parting word to *CiU*
izen/ let me say in ad candor and kindness,
that just such ill.nntured aud illlimed com
munications as was put fortlTby him last Sun
day, never did promote the public weal or
advance the nubile interest in anjr way. It
certainly never did encourage a publio func
tionary to the belter discharge of his duties.
Such attacks, coming as ibis-one did. ‘like a
cold stab la-tbe dark.' never did and never
will facilitate city business or expedite offi
cial reports. ,

It so strongly thnt a person can’t walk
against it, while in winter the suction is just
as great. The cool air from the mountain
in the summer is felt for miles, in a direct
line from the mouth of the cave. At times a
most unpleasant odor is emitted upon the
current from dead carcases of animals rucked
in and killed by the violence. The loss of
cattle and stock in that section in ivinter is
accounted for in this way: They range too
near.the niouth of the cave, and the current
carries them in. At times, when the change
from inhalation to exhalation begins, the air
Is filled with various *liaire of- animnls ; not
unfrequently bones and whole carcasses are
found miles from, the place. The air has
been known to change "Materially in temper-*
aturc during exhalation from .quite cool to
unpleasantly hot*, withering vegetation within
reach, and accompanied by a terrible roar
ing, gurgling sound, as a pot boiling. It is
unaccounted for by scientific men who havo
examined it, though no exploration can take
place.' It is feared by many that a volcanic
eruption may break forth there some time.
Such things have occured in places as little
unexpected. '
What Full-Dbess Implies.—A “gusher”
writes: “The most awe.Inspiring sight on
earth to those who rightly comprehend it is
a woman in full-dress As she stands under
tbe glittering light of the chandelier, flooding
her person wit:i its soft, -mellow rays, with
her diamonds flashing on her white bosom;
with her hair sparkling with gold and trimm
ed with pearls; with her silken robe flash
ing ont its brilliant dyes and trailing its
length along like the plumage of some bright
tropical bird; with her creamy laces foam
ing about her; with her jewelled fan, her
breast-knot of heavy-scented roses, and the
breath of Araby floating about her, and as
you gaze upon her, do you not see earth, air,
and sky bnt as silent cumstat s to her perfec
tion ? Do you not sec the trains of insects,
crawling worms, and the beasts of tbe field
paying to her their tribute ? Down deep in
mines, fathoms under the sea; crowded in
damp, dark cellars, and breathing the heated,
greasy air,, among whizzing looms. «!o • you
not see the toiling masses her faithful servi
tors ? Above the perfumed crowd do you not
perceiye the world of thought, the'sweet
amenities of religion and white-winged peace
—her guardian angels—hovering about, lest
she, the queen of the universe, dash her foot
against a stone ? There she stands serene in
her smiling beauty, crowning the summit of
the ages The entire past has been but that
she might be. She. is the epitome of the cen
turies. And there are men who can see no
beauty in a modern belle!”
The Fruits or Coercion —The great Ger
man soldier Von MoUkehas lately told his
countrymen that Alsace and Lorraine, which
they gained in three months, will have to be
defended by force of arms for half a century.
It wonld thus seem to be no holiday business
to be a great conquering power. If coercion
could include conciliation, it might be a
pleasant pastime far strong nations to subju
gate the weak* But the difficulty is that only
force can be depended upon to hold what is
gained by force. The weak may uot be able
to resist J he oppressions of the mighty, but
they have good memories, and only await the
opportunity to right themselves Alsace and
Loiruine-are no exception to this general law
of human nature, as-Von Moltke has rightly
divined, and as has been illustrated by the
somewhat imprudent declaration mentioned
in the cable dispatches, of an Alsatian dele
gate in the Reichstag, who said: *\Ve are
sent here to proclaim our affection for our
French fatherland, and that your act of vio
lence prevents us from regarding you asequalc’
France known* hernclf that, it is no child’s
play to be a great military power, and if Ger
many inherits her greatuess. she roust take
with it the inconvenience and anxieties which
ar • inseperablc from the achievement* of ag
gressive power. If the dynasties of Europe
would lay_aside their rivalries and ambition,
the world would have a better security of
quiet and happiness than any combination of
their arms could effect.— Hallo. Sun.

A woman in Worcester, Mass ,1 whose
buildings were set on fire and damaged hjr
lightning, has recovered damage* from !he
Ligbm.ng Rod.Company, whose agent when
fixing the rods In the building guaranteed
protection.
Mode of Drawing:
There will be upon ihe stage two glass wheels, the
contents of which can be seen by all the spectators.—
A committee of two citizens, in no wq> connected with
the management, and of undoubted integrity, having
first counted and examindd, wi3 phffr-du the larger
wheel 12,600 ticket* exactly alike, and having printed
number* from on? to 12,600. corresponding to all the
ticket* sold. A simila.*committee having first court
ed and examined, wii! place in tubes precisely alike
the prizes which are placed 5u the smaller wheel.—
Both wheel* will then be turned until their contents
are thoroughly mixed. A boy under fifteen years,
blindfolded, will then draw from the larger wheel one
of the 12,600 tickets, and holding it up in full view of
the spectators and auditor*, its number will be called
by the crier appointed for this i'urpvw, so that all
present may hear. This number will then bo passed
to tho committee of citizens, who will ray whether tbe
number has been rightly called. It will then be pass
ed to a registrar, who will file it and record it upon a
book prepared for that purpose. A hoy of similar age
will then draw from the smaller wheel one or the tube*
containing a prize, which will be opened and held up
to the view ot the spectators and auditors. The value
of the real estate prize will then be called, and poised
to the committee, who, after inspection, will give It to
another registrar to file and record. Tim prize thus
drawn will belong to the ticket hearing tbe number
drawn immediately before it. Thus this process will
continue, drawing first from the large wheel contain
ing the tickets, and then from the small or prize wheel
until all the tui>es containing the prizes are drawn
An accurate record of the above will be kept on file
certified toby the committee of disinterested citizens
officiating.
The Prizes below three hundred dollars in value are
approx filiations, and will be determined and p..id as
follows: Tho numlgrrs of all the tickets sold being
considered in a circle, numerically termed, and having
the highest numtm, 12,600, and the lowe»t |, brought
together; men whatever number in tbis circle may be
by lot determined to be entitled to the capital prize of
*25,000 will be taken as a centre, on each side of wh,ch
tLe next three hundred numb-rs In numerical order
will be counted for the ten dollar prizes, thus making
on the two sides of the capital the six hundred near
est numt»crs. each of which will I** entitled to a real
estate prize of ten dollars. All the tickets drawing
larger prize* will be excluded, and the circle extended
to include six.hundred on both sides of the capital,
being fhref? hundred on each side, it being tliepurj"^*
cf the management not to duplicate prizes.
MONEY.
All money received from sale* of tickets will be dc-
pusiittl in hank immediately on receipt of remittances.

T*R. TUTT’S PILLS are composed of many' ingre
dient*. rromitient among them are Sarsaparilla and
Wild Cherry, so united a* to a< t together; the one,
through it* admixture with other substances, purify
ing and purging, while the other is strengthening the
system. Thu* these Pills are at tho same time a tonic
and n cathartic, a desideratum long sought for l»y
mod lea! men, hut never before considered. In other
word*, they do the work of two medicines and do it
much better than anv two we know of, for they re
move nothing from tho system but Impurities, so that
while thev purge they h!*o strengthen and hence they
cause no debility and are followed by no reaction.
f »lt. 1 UTTS FILLS hare a wonderful influence on
the blood. They uot only purify **ithout weakening
it, hut they remove alt noxious parti firs from the
elivie before it is converted into fluid, ami thus make
impure blood an litter impossibility. As there is no
