THE TELEGRAPH. BY CUBBY & REID. •JXX.XQB.UH BUILDING, CORNER CHIRRT St SECOND STS. SATURDAY MORNING. MAY 10, ’68. ‘ Skk Fourth Page. pg~For our election table and list of mem ber* to the lower House oT the Legislature, see first and fourth pages. Crrr Editor.—We beg leave to introduce to the Macon public, as City Editor of the Telboraph, Mr. R. D. Shropshire, and solicit the aid and co-operation of onr busi ness men, public officers and others to render bis services valuable to''themselves and the community generally. We have great con fidence that Mr. Shropshire will be able to add materially to the usefulness of the Telegraph. Cuthbert Appeal.—Mr. J. P. Sawtell, Senior proprietor of the Cuthbert Appeal, offer* one-haft -interest in that paper for sale nt a Imrgnin, if application is made within thirty days The Appeal office is well furnished, doing a good business, and is lo cated in one of the most beautilul, healthy and flourishing towns in the South- Excursion to Fort Valley.—It will be seen from the advertisement that members of the congregation ofthe Second Baptist Church have planned a pleasure excursion to Fort Valley next .Thursday,-. If the writer were younger Us song would be longer. We would forecast, for the benefit of young men in par ticular, what a nice time will be bad with the intelligent and pretty ladies and agreeable gentlemen of that energetic and rising con gregation ; and what a sweet combination of piety and fun it will be to upbuild the Church by riding 28 miles beside a pretty girl, eating a good dinner and having a fine time gener ally at the small expense set forth in the ad vertisement. The way the Churches manage these matters now-a-days it is actually a pleasure to be good—there’s no merit in it, whatever, we speak from observation merely. Personal.—We had the pleasure of seeing in our office, yesterday, Gen. W. 3. Walker, formerly of South Carolina, but now a resi dent of Atlanta, Ga. General Walker be longed to the regular U. S.' army before the war, but resigned at rhe commencement of hostilities and entered the Confederate army. His rank was Captain, from which he rose to that of Brigadier General. He was in com mand, in front of the enemy at Hilton Head, S. C., for 18 months, receiving his commission as Brigadier General for gallantry at the fight at Pocotaligo. From thence he was trans ferred to North Carolina, and from there to the lines aronnd Petersburg, where in one day he received three desperate wounds by which he was disabled for life. He has accepted the general agency of the Atlas Mntnal Life Insurance Company of St. Louis, for the State of Georgia, Atlanta being his residence. Change in Schedule.—We call attention to the change in the schedule of the South western Railroad, to-morrow and thereafter. 53T" The Montgomery Mail learns that in the case of Ryland Randolph—who wonnded a negro with a knife while the latter was about assaulting him with a club—the ac cused was sentenced by the military commis sion to ten years confinement and hard labor at the Dry Tortugas. Water in the Desert.—The London Spectator says that Sir Robert Napier, in his Abyssinian expedition, compelled “a lofty African desert to yield water by an Ameri can device not a twelvemonth old.” “A half a dozen mules,” it says, “are drawn up and loaded with thin steel tubes. Tap, tap, tap, goes a hammer, rigged up in five minutes, and in ten the curse of Africa has been con quered as if a new Moses had smitten the rock, and pure water for an army is spouting among the 8ton'*a,” Northern Mail.—It seems bard for the Department to determine by which route it will send the mail destined for the South.— It has tried several of late and got matters into such confusion that the mail comes to hand only “semi-occasionally.” We hope it will soon settle the question definitely, and in the mean-time we would say that the Eastern lines, via Weldon or Danville, would deliver the mail at this point nearly twenty- four hours in advance of the Western lines. Off for Liberia.—The Golconda—emi grant ship of the Colonization Society- cleared at Savannah on Thursday with fonr hundred and forty six colored passengers, all of whom propose to settle in the negro colo ny of Liberia. The emigrants were chiefly from Savannah and Colnmbus and their vicinities. We wish them a pleasant voyage, and comfortable hooBCS in the El Dorado of the East. £±T* We are sorry to see by the Tallahassee Floridian, that Mrs. Pbiloclea Alston Walker, tbe amiable and accomplished wife of the Governor, expired suddenly in that city last Thursday week. Cart. John A Cobb.—Tbe Athens Banner says: “Wc are glad to learn that our much esteemed and valued friend, Capt. John A Cobb, formerly of this town, bnt now a resi dent of Americu9, lias been elected member of tbe House of Representatives from Sum ter county. The citizens of Sumter have done well and wisely. They have elected the right man, and if he is allowed to take his seat, they will find that they have be stowed their confidence on one in every way worthy of it—on one who is “the noblest work of God”—an Honest man. “ Capt. Cobb’s ability, sound practical sense and administrative talent, will make him a very useful member, not merely to bis immedi ate constituents, bnt to the entire State. We venture to say, poor old Clarke will not be forgotten in her hour of distress” Insurance Extraordinary.—We were aware that three of the merchants of St. Lonis had each insured his life to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars, bnt a feat was recently accomplished in that line which is something of a novelty. The Atlas Life Insurance Company, of SL Lonis, insnred an entire association at one fell swoop—the “Boatmen’s Association.” Forty-eight mem bers passed the surgeon’s examination. Colltston and Loss of Life.—We learn that a collision of trains occurred Thursday, on the Virginia and East Tennessee Railroad, in which tbere was a general smash-up. The postoffice ronte agent was killed, though we were unable to learn bis name or further par ticulars of the accident. It took place a few miles beyond Bristol. railroad economy. The annual -reports of officers of the various railroads in the South, so far as they have appeared, show a sad falling off of busi ness. In most instances it is ascribed to a deficiency in the amount of travel, chiefly local. Mr. King, the intelligent President of the Georgia Railroad, extracts from whose recent report appeared in our columns yes terday, estimates the falling off of gross profits with his own road, as compared with last year, at the high figures of $183,418 25, and says this decrease “has been almost ex clusively in local travel—for which there is lit tle or no competition, and clearly indicates the impoverished condition of the country im -* mediately tributary to our (his) road.” The deficiency exists, too, despite tbe fact that the Road transported twice as much cotton as it did the year previous. Such is the trouble. In Beaching through the report of Mr. King, we were somewhat surprised to find that he suggests no remedy for so scrions an aspect of affairs. The loss is conceded, and the report seems to take it for granted that the Company must be con tent to submit to the inconvenience of reduced profits until prosperity shall have returned to tbe country under a wise and equitable management of its affairs. We find, how ever, in perusing tbe report, that Mr. King has really stumbled on the key to most of the railroad troubles at the South, his own among the rest, though his sagacious mind seems not to have suggested to him the way of put ting it to practical use. We quote Tjis ex act langnage, for it contains an important thought, which all railroad men should re member, and reduce to practice. Ee says i “In previous reports, tbe Directors have 3tated their reasons for the belief that the only reliable resource for profit* i* the local business, or the business of the country natu rally tributary to the Road. "This, as a general truth, becomes more ob vious as railroads multiply and competition increases. Previous to the institution of rail roads, the marts of commerce, as well as the leading channels of communication with them, were generally established by nature. They are now established, or mainly con trolled, by money, and the labor and enter prise of man. No distant or through busi ness can be safely relied on. By new lines, it is constantly liable to be diverted, or rates ran down by competition below the paying point. Judging by tbe past, our local busi- ss should not only pay, bnt pay well.” Here is a valuable idea, clearly set forth, and sustained by unanswerable logic. Un fortunately, tbe conclusion that necessarily follows such well established premises, has never received a due consideration from the railroad managers of tbe South. If “the local business, or the business of the country naturally tributary" to a road, be its best and “most reliable resource for profits,” how strange it is that, as a general rule, bo little effort has been made to encourage, foster, and bnild np that bnsiDess. The nsnal practice of onr railroad men is to consider that portion of their business as secured fast by tbe law of necessity—they hold it as a monopoly—it coaid not go elsewhere if it would—the parties residing on onr line are obliged to patronize us whether they wish to or not, and consequently we have the power of dictating onr own terms. Has not snch been tbe general policy of onr railroads, and in proof of the fact is it not trne that the people residing along the line of a rail road arc, almost invariably, inimical to it and complaining of its arbitrary impositions.— They are charged higher in proportion than other people for,bofh fright and passage, and the whole policy of tbe road toward them seems to say, “Wo have you in onr power and wc intend to grind yon.” Now, we submit, is this the proper treat ment for anybody toward his “best and most reliable” customers } Is it wise to pnt large and regular patrons on harder terms than a man who throws yon a penny once in six months or two years I Is the farmer, who visits his market town five or six times a year, and pays large amounts into the treasury of a road, entitled to less consideration than stranger from a distance who passes over the line once a year on his trip to the North ?— We think not, and yet sncli is the practical economy of Southern railroads. Tbrongh freights and passage, which, as Mr. King truly says, “are constantly liable to be di verted” by competing lines, are reduced to the lowest figures possible, while way freights and passage—permanent business— is taxed in order to extend the privilege.— We maintain that this i9 neither justice nor sound policy. It wrongs the public and eventually harms the road. Never was there a better time than the present for the inauguration of a salutary re' form in onr railroad management. After all, it tarns out that the people have some power even over monopolies. They most send their produce and bring their supplies, bat they are not obliged to travel, and jnst here the railroads are losing thousands, by monopoly prices, which they might bring into their coffers by a liberal system of rates for passengers. The trains are obliged to ran, and it costs about as mnch to run them empty S9 to ran them fail. If the companies would only reduce their way fares one-half, we are convinced they wonld overcome, in a great measure, the losses arising from the “impoverishment of the country through which they pass,” and make friends instead of enemies of the public. Their local travel wonld be qn&drnpled, and the cities at either end wonld be built up and their languish ing trade revived. These suggestions are not intended as a scold for any particular road. They are prompted by tbe report of Mr. King, and are given to the pnblic with a sincere desire to promote, as far as wc can, the best interests of both tbe roads and the people. “THE CASE CLOSES AND THE PEOPLE WAIT I” A Sign.—The Cincinnati Gazette, an ultra Radical paper, has a double-leaded leader in its issue of Tnesday, in which it concedes that “the developments in the Court of Im peachment indicate the acquittal of the President.” General Grant on the Test Oath.—Ac cording to a Washington telegram in the New York Herald, General Grant has in structed General Meade that the oath pre scribed by the reconstruction acts to betaken by all persons “elected or appoi nted” to office in the “so-called States” of the South is not to be taken by those elected under any new Constitution which may be adopted nnless tbe Constitution itself so provides. This is the only conclusion at which any fair-minded man could arrive, and we were surprised when it was announced that General Meade had decided to apply the iron-clad oath to members of the George Legislature just elected. So Says Secretary Foruev, at the head of an article in one. of his dailies, announcing the conclusion of the impeachment plead ings. Mr. Forney does np everything politi cal in a style decidedly melo-dramatic, but unfortunately he does not always state the case correctly. He sacrifices too much of truth to mere effect. In the present instance, the case has closed and the proper addendum would be “ Congress beeps the people waiting." The Jury have heard all the evidence—have retired to make np a verdict—bnt it is an nounced that they have pocketed the papers and intend to withhold the verdict until after the Chicago Radical Convention. The illness of one of the Jurors might be an apology for delay until lie got better—well enough to send in his vote; but certainly not for waiting until “after the Chicago Conven tion.” Is it to be charged or insinuated that grave Senators, upon their oath to do justice ac cording to the Constitution, are desirous to consult the assembled party fuglemen at Chicago a3 to what is to be gained or lost by the party on a verdict of guilty or not guilty, before they finally determine the answer J If suoh a thing were charged, will not the world concede that the Senate have clearly laid themselves open to it ? We sup pose no previous Senate of the United States would have ventured upon such a course for any consideration. They would have con sidered it a clear compromise of reputation If a petit juror, in charge of a case involving the amount of five dollars, is seen, after the evidence and before the verdict, hobnobbing privately with one of the parties to tbe suit, he is disgraced. He may be talking about the weather, but people will not believe it In this case the parties to the suit are the President and the Radicals. It is trne they have made the people parties, but it is a mere legal fiction. The people have nothing to do with it Three-quarters of them utterly condemn it It is a movement by reckless party leaders for their own advantage, and the people will be very apt to say tbe Senate has adjourned this verdict over to Chicago, in order to bring the pressure of the Con vention to bear upon refractory Senators—ot to shift the responsibility—or to determine, after a general consultation, what kind of a verdict it is better, under all the circumstances, to bring in. Doubtless the Radicals will pronounce this proceeding all right, fair and satisfactory ; bnt not one of them wonld sub mit to such treatment by a jury in a case be fore a Justice’s Court, involving five dollars. CONTRADICTORY FEDERAL LEGISLA. TION. It is next to impossible for the Southern people to find out exactly what is required of them by the Radical legislation at Wash ington; if, indeed the latter know themselves half the time what they are doing. Oae day we have one demand made U9, and the next still another wholly inconsistent with the first. The suffrage question, for instance, bos got into an inexplicable muddle. The Ominibns bill—as it iscalled—just passed by the House, deprives the Southern States of all power to change the suffrage features of their Radical Constitutions, and yet the same Congress requires of the same States, as a condition indispensible to reconstruction, to ratify an amendment to the Constitution of the United States which reserves all power oyer the question ot suffrage to the States l— Owe section of that amendment reads as fol lows : x Sec. 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. Bat when tbe right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, representatives in Con gress, executive and jadiciat officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied any of tbe male inhabi tants of such State being twenty-one years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged except for participation in re bellion or other crime, the basis of represen tation therein shall bo reduced in the propor tion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to tbe whole number of male citi zens twenty-one years of age in snch State.” Here, remarks a Virginia contemporary, it is expressly conceded that every State has the right to say who shall vote in that State, bnt in order to prevent the Southern States from depriving the negroes of the right of suf frage, it is provided that the negroes shall not be represented in Congress at all unless the male negroes are allowed to vote. This, when ratified, it ratified at all, will be a part of the Federal Constitution; while the law providing for tbe admission of the States will at most be nothing bnt an act of Congress, not to say an unconstitutional act of Con gress. The act will of coarse have to yield to the Constitution, and so the stringent con ditions proposed by Mr. Stevens will amount to nothing. As exhibiting a specimen of the character of people whom Radicalism has thrown into important pnblic offices in Geor gia, wo copy the following paragraph from the Savannah Republican-of Thursday: A Radical Official in Limbo.—On Tnesday the grand jary ot the Superior Court found a true bill against Richard W. White, negro, Clerk of the Superior Court, by virtue of tbe recent show of hands at tbe Court-House, for larceny of cotton after a trust delegated. A bench warrant was issued for his arrest and placed in the hands of Officer Isaac Russell, who searched for White all the evening, and finally arrested him about 1 o’clock yesterday morning and lodged him in jail. Yesterday White gave bonds in the sum of one thou sand dollars for his appearance to answer to the charge against him. Sergeant Bates, it is reported, being lately bantered to take a tour through New England upon the same conditions on which his Southern tour was performed, gives the following reasons why such an undertaken would be a great risk: First—To undertake a journey through the New England States without money is equiv alent to starvation. Second—To travel through that region with money he ran great risk of being robbed on the way. ISf Watermelons are abundant in Sumtef county, on the St. Johns. Gen. Frank Blair for the Presidency. A friend has handed ns a copy of the Wash- j ington Union, with certain marked articles ] in advocacy of the nomination of Gen. Frank Blair as tbe Democratic nominee for the next Presidency. The points are pretty mnch em bodied in this extract: . ’ ' Gen. Frank Blair combines many elements of popularity, with the people of the North, as parties are now constituted. He was, in Missouri,. an original emancipationist, and with that party, with Col. Thomas H. Benton as its leader, left the -Democratic party in 1853 orl854, orprobably anterior. He tested the sincerity of his convictions by freeing hi4 own slaves which he had inherited. He was bold, eloquent aDd defiant in the proclamation of his views when arid where it required nerve and genuine manhood to assume and maintain such a position. Time rolled on, and the organization to which he, at its birth, inJMissouri, unitediimself, increased in num bers and influence. He supported Lincoln for President in 1800. When the late war was inaugurated, he entered the Northern .army, and was speedily promoted to the posi tion of - Major General of Volunteers;— He bore himself gallantly through many a bloody battle, until victory finally crowned the Union forces. When Gen eral Lee surrendered his armies, General Blair laid aside his sword, and traversed, his State from one extreme to the other in de nunciation of the Jacobin cabals which held in vassalage his own people, declaring for the equal political rights of Northern and Southern soldiers and the integrity of the Union, for which, and that alone, he had im perilled his life. Fro^ that time until the present, bo-jkks been and aggres sive advocate efthe restoration of the South ern States to their Constitutional relations to the Government. There has been no tempo rizing or compromise in anything he has said done. Ho is no hesitating or half-way man. Determined in his character, compre hensive in his mind, and consistent in his militaiy and political record, his name, if presented by the National Democratic Con vention which assembles in New York on the Fourth of July to the people of the North, will be the rallying point for. every shade of opposition to the Radical despotism, which is now rasbing the country headlong to ruin. So far as the Telegraph is concerned, we shall be content to leave the business of se lection pretty much to tbe judgment of the Democracy of the North and West. As they have the brant of the battle to bear and must decide the result, let them choose the leader and marshal the forces. “Once upon a time* the South did undertake to arrange these matters exclusively to her own liking, and the resnlt was unpleasant and altogether un fortunate. We are confident she will now be content with any fair man the other sections may agree upon as most likely to embody the elements of success. The straggle next Fall will fairly and nn doubtedly involve tbe question of a speedy return to republicanism—to constitutional government and all the guaranties and usages of civil liberty, or a lapse for possibly lialf a generation into the despotism of mere law less majorities, and, as a consequence almost inevitable, into a practical autocracy, called by whatever name it may be. It is, there fore, a particularly serious business, and it will become those wbo do the preparatory engineering to be well np to their work, and see they make no blunders, or endanger tbe great ends of tbe conflict by the undue indul gence of personal or local favoriteism and self-interest. We hope tbe national democ racy will cultivate views adequate to the vast emergency, and this is all we have to say upon the subject. Sale of the Florida Central Rail road.—The Jacksonville Union says: “On Monday last, pursuant to notice, J. C. Gree ley, Esq., Deputy Collector United States In ternal Revenue, sold the F. A. & G. U. R. R., at public auction, at the office of the Super intendent in Jacksonville, for the non-pay ment of United States taxes. All parties in terested were present at the sale. The engine “Gen. Lee” was sold to Col. Sanderson for five dollars; the engine “Stonewall” to some party for ten dollars; the engines “Columbia,” “Jacksonville” and “Perry,” with six freight cars, to E. Houston, President of the P. & G. R. R., for one hundred dollars, and the Railroad from Jacksonville to Lake Citj with its depots, grounds, etc., to Col. Hous ton, for seven thousand five hundred dollars. We trust the sale will be final -aud rihttle all questions as to the rights and liabilities of the present owners of the road.” NEW APVURTWHM MTM.

Wc have observed nothing further upon the subject except the following from tbe Baltimore Gazette of the 11th: The fact of the discovery of a large deposi of bone phosphate on Ashley River, South Carolina, was noticed sometime ago, and it was said to be of a very superior quality. Tbe steamer Falcon, which arrived at this port on Saturday, brought a consignment of sixty tons to Robert Turner & Son and Charles J. Baker. It is said to contain from seventy- nine'to eighty per cent, of pure bone phos phate. Many of the pieces appear to have been tbe bones of immense animals, and the formation of some of them are still very dis tinct. Among them is the tooth of the shark in a good state of preservation. The deposit is said to range in depth from bight inches to five feet, and to cover several thousand acres. A large tract of land has been pur chased by tbe parties to whom the Falcon brought tbe first consignment, and it promis es to be an important branch of trade to Bal timore, because of the ease with which it can be obtained, and its superior quality as a fer tilizer. ' Before the Southern Methodist Mis sionary Board, which was in session some days ago in Louisville, Dr. McFerran made a brief exhibit of the finances, showing that the collections and disbursements in the des titute regions of the South during the year reached $50,000. The Northern Methodist Church.—We have repeatedly called attention to the in sidious efforts of that great Radical machine, the Northern Methodist Church, to obtain foothold in the South. The last number of the New York Tribune confirms all that we have said as to the political character of this Church. After giving the statistics presented by the General Conference as to the strength of the Chnrch in the South, the Tribune adds: The figures which we have-quoted have a a political no less than an ecclesiastical sig nificance. There are probably not a dozen voters in all tbe Conference named who will vote the Democratic ticket. Thus, these Conferences represent a considerable portion of the Republican party of the South, and their rapid growth must bo hailed as one of the most promising proofs of all real recon- w s traction.” :h / ■ I 1C f Alabamians Chained like Dogs.—The ■ Pensacola Observer of Saturday says that: S “Seven young gentlemen, from Greene coun ty, Ain., were prisoners aboard the Lavaca which touched at the wharf yesterday, on their way to the Dry Tortugas. They were manacled and chained together and guarded by sixteen bayonets. They were sentenced by a military court, sitting at Selma, toward labor for ono and two years. The heinous crimo for which they were convicted as we have understood, was, that one pf the young men struck a “carpet-bagger” by the name of Hill—a miserable creature who is said to have been expelled from the Masonic frater nity and the Mctbodist ministry for stealing hogs from bis neighbors. They were all young men of high respectability and refine ment. To see these seven young Southern gentlemen standing on the deck of that steamer,chained like dogs, waswell calculated to cause the blood to boil and seatbe, aud tbe heart to throb with emotions which we are compelled to conceal for fear that an expres sion of them might condemn us to alike pun ishment.” w THE CELEBRATED SEYEN SISTERS!
