TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 6, 1869.
' Death of Simri Row.
Wa are Kitting a Iona in the Txleqbifb of
fice—the sole representative of bmaneas or let
ters in its ample domain—for every other per
son connected with the office has gone to pay a
last tribute of respect to the memory of oar
old confere, Sum Rosa, of the Journal k Mes-
senger. The streets of Macon are in pretty
much the same condition. The stores are
closed, and the pavements deserted. The peo
ple have thronged to the house of the deceased
and to the church. The Masonic Fraternity,
the Printers 1 Union, the Macon Volunteers, and
almost every other organization in the city have
turned out to honor the departed, and a long,
solemn and imposing procession will follow our
deceased brother to the narrow house appoint
ed for all the living.
We will be held excused if, following the dic
tates of personal convenience, as well as of feel
ing, we apply these solemn moments to the ex
pression of a few thoughts suggested by this
melancholy event
Mr. Bose was one of the old landmarks of
Macon. Although not a very old man—for he
was bom with this century—yet he has been
identified with almost every public interest of
the city since it first took the shape of a small
frontier settlement Hero he has spent sum
mer and winter—seed-time and harvest, for
nearly half a century, and patiently watched
the alow growth of the town-—known by and
acquainted with everybody, and frankly partici
pating in almost every public and social move-
ment
Monuments of Klff fine natural taste abound in
the city, and are still more strikingly presented
in our beantifnl cemetery which always attracts
the admiration of strangers. The site and the
improvements of Rose H31, named in honor of
Mr. Bose, and where his remains this day will
find their final resting place, were due to the
judgment and enterprise of our deceased cotem
porary, and will carry his name and fame down
to the latest generation of our people. This
beantifnl resting-place of the dead—horticulture
in all its branches, and last, not least, theintcr-
ests of Masonry, were the triad on which the
more public life of Mr. Rose seemed to centre,
and upon which he perhaps bestowed as mucl
thought and labor as he did upon his professional
business. Everybody in Georgia knew him
quite as well as Grand Secretary of the Grand
Lodge of the State as they did as publisher of
one of the oldest newspapers in Middle Georgia.
Mr. Rose was a man of kindly and genial na
ture—of (vary active habits of mind and body
—of a highly nervous temperament, although
of extraordinary coolness and courage in mo
ments of danger. He was perfectly fearless,
yet entirely without swagger or pretension. He
was by birth a New Englander—bom, we think,
in New Haven, Connecticut, but, as we have
remarked, has been a Georgian from early man
hood. He leaves a widow and four daughters—
all highly accomplished women, and three of
the latter are residents of New York and Penn
sylvania. They have the heartfelt sympathies
of our people in this sudden bereavement, news
of which came like a thunder-dap to all of us.
We loam that Mr. Bose returned from a visit
to Houston county last Friday night, complained
of feeling unwell, and continued in the same
condition till Sunday morning, when he was
still well enough to eat, and no apprehensions
were felt; but ho died before noon on that day.
Thus do we survivors have again an impress
ive practical monition that in the midst of life
we are in death. The two seniors of the Central
Georgia Press have died within three months of
each other, and the struggle of life must soon
be over with the youngest of us.
The Cabas Imbroglio.
The telegrams on Saturday night announced
the passage of Bank's Cuba resolutions in the
House. It is a resolution of sympathy with the
people of Cuba, in their struggle for indepen
dence, and pledges the support of Congress to
the President whenever he may consider it ex
pedient to recognize the independence of tt.t
island. The speculation among the Washington
quidnuncs was that the Spanish monster would
take affront and demand bis passports so soon
as Congress passed that resolution.
It is said by some papers that the House is
considerably in advance of the Senate, and of
the President in GG# movement, but other au
thorities assert that both the President and Con
gress are bent upon lending such moral and
other indirect support to the “rebellion," as to
insure the success beyond a peradventure; and
jt is well understood that “the country means
to have that island,” in contempt of Spain,
which is regarded as in a helpless condition.
Meanwhile, tor the sake of appearances, the
Secretary of State refused an official interview
to Lemus, the envoy of the revolutionists, bnt
whim in the Secretary’s private rooms; and
upon the application of the Spanish Minister,
instructions have been sent to U. S. Marshals
and District Attorneys on the seaboard, to en
force the neutrality laws against fillibnstering
expeditions from the American coast Numer
ous cruisers have also been dispatched to exer
cise a surveillance in the Gulf and the Caribbean
Sea, and, perhaps, they will permit the Spanish
authorities to#hrry out the recent orders, to
hang as pirates'the passengers and crews of all
vessels found under circumstances to justify the
suspicion that they are expeditions in aid of the
insurgents.
It is clear enongh that we are on the eve of a
thorough complication in this Cuban business;
and the course of the United States Government
is destined to illustrate a beantifnl sliding scale
of morals on the neutrality question. The North
ern politicians and patriots, who were exasper
ated to fury that France and Great Britain
recognize eight millions of Southern peo
ple, under a regular de facto government, as bel
ligerents, have not a word to offer against a pro
position in Congress to acknowledge the inde
pendence of less than half a million Cubans, led
by two revolutionary chieftains and with posi
tively no civil government at all—for np to this
time there has been no attempt, so far as we
have seen, to organize even a provisional revo
lutionary government in Cuba.
But, leaving all questions of law and morals
put of the account, wo presume there can be
little reasonable doubt that the American will,
*» effect, seize this favorable conjunction of
circumstances to intervene and acquire Cuba.
The attempt to cover our tracks with a little
of the dust of neutrality, will hardly conceal
them, and Spain, if she can get nobody to back
her quarrels, will have to submit quietly. Af
ter all, she has had that island long enough,
and if a majority of the Cubans prefer a change,
they are entitled to it.
But it is not easy to see the effects of such a
change upon our own affairs. Much of the
Northern immigration which otherwise would
be tempted South, will transfer their destination
to Cuba. That island will forthwith be the busy
scene of Yankeo adventurers, experiments and
speculations of all sorts, which will astonish
the Cabans who have invited their fate. Its
political occupation will involve a heavy addi
tional expense. It will demand a large addi
tion to our military and revenue force, and this
is but the beginning of acquisitions from the
lies. The Dominicans in Hayti are already
making overtures for annexation, and probably
few years we may absorb island after
island, until we get possession of all the group.
It will be a troublesome acquisition—but one
thing it itiU accomplish, to wit: It will make
the collection of high tariffs impossible, except
at an expense which will consume the pro-
“Legal Technicalities.”
According to the Chronicle’s account of the
interview between Gov. Bullock and the Presi
dent upon the Georgia question, all is right be
tween those functionaries. The President threw
the responsibility of deciding the constitutional
rights involved in the matter upon Congress,
who he said were better lawyers than he coold
claim to be ; and, besides, there was a *
aity” in the matter which would override all
“legal technicalities.”
This easy-going interpretation of his official
responsibilities will at once resolve all doubts,
and put the President upon the best possible
footing with the Supreme Congress. The day
of vetoes, founded 'upon constitutional law, is
over. The President, we are to understand,
will shelter himself in respect to them under a
plea of personal modesty—* line of policy which
might be something safer if the Supreme Con
gress would show a little of that same quality in
its assumptions of power in deflanoe of the Con
stitution. But where Congress is wholly with
out modesty or scruple in their own unwarrant
able usurpations, and the President is too mod
est to oppose his crude conclusions against their
better knowledge, the Constitution stands no
chance at all.
And finally, to clinch the matter, and resolve
all doubts, the President brings forward again
that same old tyrant’s plea of “necessity” which
has over-ruled sll law for the last ten years, and
is in fact the only rule of action now in existence.
Parti ran “necessity” is the Moloch to which
•very substantial interest of the people, has
been and will be remorselessly sacrificed. The
friends of Grant should sue out an injunction to
stop Forney from publishing such wretched
trash as this to the discredit of Grant, whether
true or not
Boston Post Butmiino. — The Boston Post
comes to ns with a long and elaborate descrip
tion of a new and splendid edifice for a publico
tion office, which has recently been construct*
by the proprietors of that paper, Messrs. Beals,
Greene k Co. From the description given by
the Post, that paper is behind none of the mag
nates of American newspaperdom in the regal
splendor of its surroundings, and must be
especially happy in the solid attribute of
seta.” But the Post must be still more happy
in the consciousness of having deserved success.
It hue pandered to none of the isms and here
sies which threaten the stability of republican
government in America. It has never failed to
deal with political questions in a conscientious,
intelligent, liberal and conservative spirit,
has never pandered to fanaticism, bigotry, sec
tional hatred and sectional opposition. The
Post has won its honors and its wealth by the
manly service in Hia cause of good government,
and so may it flourish to the end of time.

The editor of the Athens Watchman, Hon. J.
H. Christy, says that several Northern gentle
men have been in that community looking for
locations for settlement—that they have been
well pleased and purchased lands. Let all such
be welcomed among us; and we hope our land
holders will look to their own interests and the
general interest of the community, and sell
lands at fair prices.
While on this subject, we take, pleasure in
stating what we know‘to be true, and that is,
that the people generally of the North are not a
hundredth part as bitter towards ns as are the
vile trading politicians—most of whom ought to
be hanged. During the past winter we were
brought in frequent contact with Northern peo
ple of every grade and calling—ministers, law
yers, doctors, mechanics, farmers, merchants
and manufacturers. They express kind feelings
—even the more liberal of their preachers—
than do their politicians.
Another gratifying fact—and it was noticed
by everybody, and as a Georgian we were proud
of it—they all look upon Georgia ns a “live
State”—as truly the “Empire State of the
South.” Everybody seemed anxious to come to
Georgia, and hundreds assured us they would
io so, if the politicians ever got done the mis
chievous and never ending work of reconstruc
tion.
Fiendish Mcbdeb.—Correspondence of the
Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel from Washington,
Wilkes county, gives the particulars of a most
foul assassination. He informs that paper that
a most fiendish and horrible murder was com
mitted about twelve miles from Washington, on
Wednesday night last, in the direction of Lex
ington. As Mr. Thomas Thorton, a member of
the special jury, and detained as such by the
court, was returning home in his buggy that
night, about eight o'clock, when within a quar
ter of a mile of his house, he was fired on, three
balls taking effect in his neck and head, and
died immediately. Mr. Thaxton was a sober,
quiet and peaceable citizen, without an enemy
in the county, either among black or white. No
due to the perpetrators of this foul deed have
been discovered, though suspicion rests upon
two or three negro men who had threatened the
life of another man, and, it is thought, killed
Mr. Thaxton through mistake. It is to be hoped
no diligence will be spared in finding out the
parties guilty of this shocking affair.

Mil AMfher Horrible Jlsrder in
PbOndriphla-
Philadelphia, March 30.—A horrible nrader
was committed here yesterday, under peculiar
circumstances. Early yesterday morning a man
threw himaetf into the Delaware river and was
drowned. Subsequently a handkerchief was
found in the water bearing the name of Black-
stone. This afternoon the body was recovered.
of Funston A Blackstone, picture-frame makers
at 912 Market street.
The body was sent to his house m the extreme
northwestern part of the city. On arriving
there the parties found another party of police
in possession, and that Blackstone s wife and
two small children were dead, chopped to pieces
with an ax. It appears that previous to commit
ting the murder yesterday, Blackstone wrote a
letter to his wife’s father in Connecticut, saying
that he had killed his wife and children and
would kill himself. The party in Connecticut
♦his afternoon telegraphed to the police authori
ties here who went to the house and found the
dead bodies as before related, and were investi
gating the case when the dead body of the father
was brought in.
On Blackstone’s body was found a paper stat
ing that he had been robbed and was a ruined
TTinr,, and giving this as a reason for the deed.
Trig wife appears to have been killed while light
ing a fire in the stove on Monday morning, as
the neighbors heard a noise at that time. The
children were killed in bed np stairs and earned
down and laid at the feet of their mother. Black
stone was probably insane.
Ritittiso by Teleobaph.—The Secretary of
the State of Missouri has received a communi
cation from tbe Department of State at "Wash
ington, stating that the ratification of the Four
teenth Amendment by the Missouri Legislature
is incomplete, as the thing ratified is not a cor
rect copy, the second section being omitted.
It will be remembered that the Legislature rat
ified a telegraph report, which, for economical
reasons, omitted the second section, because
that remained in its original shape. There was
no need of this expedition, but it was thought
better to show alacrity. The worst speed was
made by this haste, as tbe Legislature has ad
journed, and will not meet till next winter. In
the haste there were also some verbal omissions
and some orthographical errors in the ratifying
resolution.
Depression in the Cotton Manufacture in
England.—The Fall River News says: “From a

than at any period during the rebellion.”
