The Africa* Appointments in Savannah.—
The Savannah Advertiser, of Wednesday, says:
Since the announcement, by telegraph, of a
Washington rumor to the’ effect that ex-Rcv.
Jim Simms and two others of the same color
were, per order of Secretary Bout well, clerks
in the Cnston House in this city, or at least
clerks in prospective, considerable interest has
been manifested in the nffair, and the question
has gone np, “is it or is it not so?" We be
lieve that unless Collector Johnson has nomi
nated these sons of Ham to positions in his de
partment, that the dispatch amounts to noth
ing. It is customary, and as far as wc under
stand necessary, for the collectors of the differ
ent ports to nominate their own clerical force,
and the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury is
to confirm these nominations. He cannot, how
ever, appoint directly no more than the Senate
can appoint him. As we have said before then,
unless Gov. Johnson has suggested the placing
of these negro men in his office, it is almost—
we say almost in these peculiar tiinc-s—unneces
sary to ^i vo this rumor attention. We of course
labor under tho opinion that Mr. Johnson lias
too mnch good judgment, and tho proper con
duct of his department so mnch in view, that he
would not make chaos ontof order and turn his
intricate accounts and accurate calculations in
to whaj. printers would call “pi”—even if he
may have no respect for tho recent decisions of
-the courts of his State on tho subject of negro
eligibility.
Another Press Change in Louisville.
The Nashville Banner says Mr. Walter G.
Overton, for many years connected with the old
Louisville Courier, and for several yttf/n past
the special Washington telegraphic correspond
ent of the Cornier and Coorier-JonmsI, has
purchased tho controlling interest in the Louis
ville Democrat, and will hereafter have tho en
tire control and management of that paper. It
is his design to change its name to that of Tho
Express—the title of tho paper ho conducted
daring the first year of the war, and which was
suppressed by military authority.
* . The Irish Cavr.cn Disestablishment.—The
majority in the House of Commons show no
relenting* of purpose in relation to the Dises
tablishing bill A motion made last Monday,
postponing tho practical operation of tho bill
until 1872, was lost by a vote of 191 to 301
against; Government majority 107. Tho clause
disqualifying Bishops of the Irish Church from
sitting in the House of Lords was amended to
allow prelates, appointed previous to tho pass
age of tho bill, to retain their titles and rights of
precedence for life, and was then agreed to.
Carriages.—We are happy to refer our read
ers to tho card of an old and reliable house in
New York, of long experience in the Southern
trade, and conseqnently intimate knowledge of
its necessities, and to which orders may be sent
with advantage. Mr. B. VI Tilton, 47 Broad
way, New York, is prepared to supply tho South
with carriages, buggies, rockaways, etc., from
his large manufactory at Mount Vernon, N. Y.,
only a few miles from the great metropolis. He
has vehicles manufactured expressly to suit the
present circumstances of tho Southern people.
He also manufactures the velocipede. See ad

Worthless Negroes in Florida.—A St Au
gustine (Fla.) correspondent of tho New York
Commercial Advertiser says the negroes there
are utterly worthless. They find shelter, like
lizxards and bats, among the ruins of once
stately dwellings, filling the wind sashes with
old hats, and thoir stomachs with anything they
can pick np. They will not work as house ser
vants, considering that only a return to slavery,
but they steal everything they can lay hands
upon.
Hox. A. H. Stephens.—From a gentleman
who saw and conversed with Mr. Stephens on
Tuesday, says the Atlanta New Era, we are re
joiced to learn that he continues to improve
steadily. The injury was a veiy serious one to one
of Mr. Stephens* fragile mould, but we are glad
to hope that he will shortly have so far recov
ered as to be able to complete his history of the
late war—a work in which ho takes great inter,
eat, and which he is extremely anxious to com
plete. - ^
Relief tor the Madison Sufferers.—The
five hundred dollars voted by the City Council
for the relief of the pools ofMadison, should be
Raved to the city. Tho Augusta Chronicle & Sen
tinel says the Madison sufferers have been ful
ly provided for, and a portion of tho funds
raised in that city has been applied by tho May
or to the establishment of a soup house for the
poor.—Columbus Sun.
Not Lost.—We soo by the Savannah Morning
News, that Alfred Albert Aaron Andrew Alpeoria
Bradley was not loti in tho Ogeecheo Swamps,
as supposed, but reappeared last week before
the Massachusetts Legislature as a witness in
behalf of female suffrage, which Bradley testi
fied was secured by the Fifteenth Constitutional
Amendment! The Massachnsetts women who
want to vote with Alpeoriaporia must lie strong
in mind and stomach.
The First of the Season. — The editorial
staff of the Telegraph were indebted yesterday
evening to Mr. O. P. Heath for a waiter of Cake
and Ice Cream—both excellent. The public can
find more of the same sort at Mr. Heath’s Con
fectionery Store, Damour's Block. ;
A printer in the Columbus Sun office and a
young companion, with more nerve than discre
tion, have recently been seeking to eclipse the
William Tell romance. At a distance of-forty
yards one of them held a target not four inches
above his head, and allowed his companion to
shoot at it with a Potter’s rifle. The ball very
nearly centered the bull's eye.
Onr hundred clerks have so far been discharg
ed from the Third Auditor s office, and forty
new appointments made, two of whom are col
ored men. One is Robert R. Douglass, son
Fred. Douglass, and the other Joseph E. O’Hare,
who was a clerk in the North Carolina Const!
tntional Convention.
Crop Prospects in Dawson.—The Journal of
the 22d says: While all our farmers agree thai
this is the most backward Spring we have had
for years, still they report good stands of com
and cotton. The young plants also present a
healthy and vigorous appearance. We have
had fine rains the past week.

THe Profits aflTar.
The Herald presents these as follows:
“Clearly the feeling of the nation is that if
our Alabama dispute goes to the war point the
people are ready. What about the national
debt? We may repudiate it, or, better still, we
may pay it more easily after such a war than
now; for the ocean is ours. Every sea will
team with our privateers', and English com- !
merce will disappear. In that very fact will lay
for us an incalculable wealth. At the same
time we would have some benefits at home, and
these recline us to hope that the war feeling
may run high. Our jobbers will be so eager in
their hunt for the game of contracts that the
whisky rings may be broken.” •
Not improbably the country at large would go
into a foreign war with a degree of indifference,
or at least with far less relnctance than was ever
felt before. A large portion of our people like
the excitement of army life, and a good many of
them are mnch attached to the spoils and plun
der thereof. When the civil war broke up so
suddenly, we think the feeling in the Federal
army was one of profound disappointment.
Fighting had become easy and stealing fat.
Perhaps a million of meu in the United States
wonld this moment gladly exchange the arts of
peace, which are jnst now slow and unprofitable,
for the chances offered by a grand invasion of
Canada. .-^v.
A few hnndred thousand more, it is extremely
probable, are but too willing to renew their an
cient relations to the Government and the army
as contractors, jobbers, commissaries, quarter
masters, suttiers and what not; and outside of
this ring there are plenty of financiers and trad
ing men who had rather take their chances to
accumulate a pile in the general financial con
fusion and derangement incident to war times,
that in the more normal conditions of peace.
Lastly, it is not to bo disguised that a very
great mass of tax-payers who find all their year
ly earnings, abovo a mere subsistence, absorb
ed by enormous and oppressive taxes, would not
be sony to see the whole national debt extin
guished by its own unmanageable and incom
prehensible proportions-just as tho Continental
debt was wiped out in 1783—and the debt of
Virginia, (ono of the most honest of the bunch,)
about tho same time funded atthe rate of a thou
sand for onr ! France, too, disposed of a debt
in assignats, amounting to over forty-five thou
sand million francs, (say nine thousand million
dollars, or nearly four times tho amount of our
present national debt,) by simply ignoring its
existence.
In all these cases legal tender acts had been
passed, and the most stringent legislation had
been adopted to secure the public creditors; but
the magnitude of their claims made payment
preposterous, and operated as a receipt in full
of all demands.
An alleged public “ necessity” which is all the
Constitution America has hod- for about ten
years past, called for the Creadon of these debts,
and tho idea ia now to bring into existence a
still more overriding and inexorable necessity
for repudiating them, which will be done by
another war.
How much influence these views have in shap
ing the attitude of the administration towards
England and pushing her into a coiner on these
so-called Alabama claims is, of course, a mere
matter for conjecture; but it seems very reas
onable that a man heavily in debt and, at the
same time very anxious to square up as soon os
possible, will be cautious about all needless ad
ditions to expenses, particularly such material
additions os will certainly carry him beyond the
line of solvency.
Bat tho man who is abont making np his
mind that the shortest road to self-extrication is
through a bankrupt court, in often, unfortunate
ly, too indifferent about entering into engage
ments which he sees will, after all, only add a
few more names and items to his liability list.
We judge the masses of tho people, newspa
pers and politicians, are drifting, perhaps insen
sibly, as to some of them, into the role of the
man contemplating a resort to bankruptcy,
when they are so noisy and flippant abont dra
gooning John Ball into extravagant and humili
ating concessions on these Alabama Claims.
It is true, while these stern and rigorous de
mands are preferred, the President and his party
are also equally imperative that the boldholders
shall be paid up to the last dollar, and paid, too,
in shining gold. Nothing bat untarnished gold
is worthy the stainless and incorruptible faith
of the Great Republic with her creditors. But
these words are only a cheap concession to the
public faith, and scarcely to bo weighed against
acts which would render it simply impossible for
the country to discharge outstanding indebted-
Everybody knows that we cannot fight
England and pay this debt Another war will
place greenbacks and bonds in the category of
Continental money—the French assignats and
mandats and Confederate treasury notes. The
war party is, therefore, the repudiation party.
The radicals are working for a measure of su
preme relief from debt and taxation far more
sweepingand ingenious than that charged to Pen
dleton. He wanted to pay np in the same stuff
the government borrowed, and call it square.
But it seems to us, from tho way they are going
on, tho idea of tho radicals is to pflo np a debt
so monstrous, that common senso will say pay
ment is impossible, and then let us apply a wet
sponge to tho slate and begin again. ■
Waterpower in Clarke County.
Tho Athens Watchman gives a list of water-
power sites in and around Athens. There are
twenty-four of them, aggregating in the neigh
borhood of three thousand horse power, of
which only about four hundred are in actual
use. That is a fine county for cotton and
there will be plenty of them in the course of a
few years. Clarke county is ono of the most
salubrious counties in the State or in the South,
or in the world It has a fine, rolling surface,
a light, porous soil, with bright, dear sand
stone water.
When a Georgian, running from low-country
chills and fevers, crosses the boundaries of
Clarke, ho sits down on tho first log, draws a
long breath, and says (in tho way of internal
consciousness), “Note I'm safe." The people
there never suffer from heat in tho summer,
and sleep under a blanket all the year round.
Moreover, they are a civil, polite and well-con
ditioned people ; carefully grounded in the As
sembly’s shorter catechism and understanding
all abont “the chief end of man” and “effectual
calling.”
In Bhort, Clarke county, Georgia, is one of
the counties which jt will do to tie to, and
one of these days she will hum in the way of
spindles and people. Science, letters, law,
theology and medicine will claim the modem
athens as their headquarters in Georgia, while
the spindle, the loom, the plough and the anvil
will contest for predominance in the county at
large.
Reasoning on the soundest general principles,
we anticipate that one of these days Clarke
county will outstrip Middlesex in Massachusetts,
which boasts of Lowell, or Essex county, in the
same State, which prides itself upon the great
manufacturing town of Lawrence. Why not?
Here is the power in any amount. available at
insignificant cost compared with the stupen
dous structures necessary to utilize it in Lowell
and Lawrence. Here is a mild climate and a
aoil fruitful alike in cotton and breadstuffs.—
Here, in Clarke county, are all the conditions of
manufacturing success accumulated.
The PoUUeal Barometer.
Under this head our astute friend, John For
syth, of the Mobile Register, says, so inflam
mable is the political atmosphere, he almost
fancies that he smells gunpowder; and we ob
serve that that wise bird, the London Daily Owl,
blinking and nodding portentnonsly over the
telegrams from this side of the Atlantic in the
matter of Cuba, declares yesterday its belief
that a ''henry storm is brewing."
We have already hazarded the opinion that
England will not. even for the sake of peace,
which she most ardently desires, respond favor
ably to any demands made npon her, conceived
in harmony with the spirit and tenor of the re
cent treaty discussions in the Senate. We be
lieve it is the universal opinion and sentiment
in that country that the treaty covered all the
concessions which could be made in the premi
ses, consistently with self-respect.
Doubtless the question of war or peace rests
altogether with our own Government; and it is -
abhorrent to all common sense that war between
two such powers should arise upon a question
of this nature; but the danger is that both par
ties may drift into it npon a point of honor—a
real point, we think, as to Great Britain, but a
false one as to tbe United States.
There is, in our judgment, enough danger of
a rupture to justify our farmers in looking well
to provision crops and abating over-eagerness
to swell the cotton product.
We see Minister Motley has been notified that
he must be at his post by the first of June, and
ibis seems to indicate a disposition to press a
conclusion. We have no great faith in the pru
dence or diplomatic capacity of this function
ary; and ho goes to tho court of St James
thoroughly indoctrinated with all Sumner’s
views. He is, in fact, a protege of Sumner,
and his bosom friend—if any mortal ever stood
in that relation to Snmner.
Awful Storm in Tennessee.
The Nashvillo Banner says a terrific storm
passed over Nashville, on Monday night, and
appears to bare extended its mad career over a
large portion of Middle and Western Tennessee.
It up-rooted and unearthed the strongest trees
that, Briareus-like, inclosed in their hnndred
armed embraced the rural homestead, and, in
ono moment, as it were, left them stag-homed
and sere and blasted by the withering touch of
the lightning’s fingers. It demolished dwellings
and stores and bams; played at will with the
telegraph wires, and when, seemingly satisfied
with its fiendish whines, poured down to earth
in literal sheets tho accumulated waters of the
donda.
In the neighborhood of Nashville it blew down
substantial brick honses, uplifted and dashed to
pieces bams, stables and out-houses, uprooted
and blew down- orchards, prostrated the largest
shade trees, and in one case drove one of them
through the center of a large bam. It obstruct
ed and temporarily disabled the railroads com
municating with Nashville, and treated the
trains very roughly. Some were badly hurt, but
we see no case of absolute loss of life.

STEEDMAS IN CUBA.
The General’* Expedition Effect it
Lauding on the Island.
Washington Dispatch to tit Cincinnati Gazette.]
Telegrams from Savannah leads friends of the
Caban revolution to believe that General J. B.
Steedman has been successful in landing in Cuba
with a picked force of men. The expedition
has been in preparation a number of months.
Steedman himself, spent two weeks in Havana,
and during tho latter part of tho time was so far
under arrest to be ordered quietly by tbe Cap
tain General to report to him daily. Tbe first
rendezvous of his party was on ono of the islands
near New Orleans. When Admiral Hoff received
his first orders, the 1 headquarters of the expedi
tion were changed, to a point on the Florida
coast.
A blockade runner, captured from tho rebels
in the late war, was obtained, and the belief is
that nearly a thousand men, well supplied with
arms and thoroughly accustomed to them, have
been landed. The Cuban leaders have been
fnlly acquainted with Stecdman’s movements
for some time. Information has been received
that bodies of men are nightly drilling in New
York, whose ultimate destination is Cuba,
though they will probably not leave direct from
that city. It may be stated in this connection
that the Navy Department has jnst added five
vessels to the sqnadron in the Atlantic, so that
it now consists of eleven vessels, with an ag
gregate of 108 guns.
Dawson Car Jfanuitactnring Company
The Dawson Journal of yesterday learns that
President Hazlehorst of the Macon and Bruns
wick Railroad Company, has contracted with
the DawBon Manufacturing Company for a large
number of can, to be delivered during the com
ing summer and fall
Tho Jonmal adds: We are glad to see a lau
dable spirit manifested on tho part of our South
ern roads, in giving patronage to an institution
so meritorious as is the Dawson Manufacturing
Company. The high estimation in which the
work of this company is held, most insure for it
a large patronage. It possesses advantages over
institutions of the kind in having the best lum
ber known for car building, and their facilities
for doing the iron work cannot be surpassed.—
We see extensive improvements are going on at
the works, and learn that it is the intention of
President Nelson to doable its capacity by an
increase of machinery, additional buildings and
operatives.
Case of the Lizzie Major.
A New Orleans dispatch, of the 20th, to tho
Western Press, says:
Captain Giles, of the schooner Lizzie Major,
publishes an account of the boarding of his ves
sel by a Spanish frigate. He states that tho
passengers taken from his vessel had passports
in dne form, regularly signed by General Dulcc,
which were recognized by the authorities at
Calbarien, where the schooner touched. The
Captain also publishes on extract from his log
book, giving an account of the affair, with the
protest made to tho officers on boarding his
vessel as follows:- “Being on the high seas and
ont of jurisdiction, I protest against any officer
or his men touching or removing any passenger
or cargo from my vessel; and should any such
officer insist on doing so, the aetwill be reported
officially, and the Spanish Government be held
responsible for all *he damage which may arise
from fihch detention.” The protest, however,
was of no effect. The Captain also gives an
aoconnt of the minder of prisoners by volun
teers at Calbarien.
Cuban Movements In Sew York.
A dispatch of the 20th says:
For several weeks the Cabans in this city have
been quietly but assiduously working to aid their'
brother revolutionists in the field by the ship
ping of men, money and ammunition to ibom
Volunteering is going on very rapidly, but quiet
ly. The recruits are promptly forwarded in
small detachments to Cuba. Very recently a
full battery of field artillery.completely equipped
and manned, was dispatched, and information
has been received of its safe arrival Recruit
ing is progressing rapidly at the Brooklyn navy
yard. * I
The report that twenty vessels are to be made
ready for service is true. There are only eight
that can be made serviceable in a few weeks,
and the only one that is actually repairing for
sea is the practice ship Sabine, which carries
thirty-six guns.
Starved to Death.—The Columbus Sun of the
21st, has this report of a case of starvation in
that city:
The lifeless body of a negro man named Al
fred Williams, was found yesterday in a house
in Cooleyville, beyond the brickyard. An in
quest was held by Coroner MeCahey. Dr. E.
J. Kirkscey, County Physician, examined' the
body and found no marks of violence, showing
that he could not have been foully dealt with.
The negro was a hearty Iookingfellow, bnthadan
intensely lazy look. He was abont middle aged.
The verdict of the jury was the deceased came
to his death from starvation. The only reason
why a man should starve now-a-davs in thi3 sec
tion is because he won't work. The evidence
showed he was not willing to labor for a liveli
hood. His wife had left him because he would
not help support their children. He had been
on the chain gang for stealing meat from Major
R. J. Moses, and. having served out his time,
was discharged last Thursday.
Terrific Storm In the West
St. Louis, April 20.—The extremely sultry
weather of yesterday morning culminated in the
afternoon in the most terrific rain storm tnat
has visited this region for many years. The
hfijl stones fell in unprecedented numbers Mm
force, and varied in size from that of a marble
to that of an English walnut Thousands upon
thousand of windows were broken, scarcely a
building in the city with a western exposure es
caping injury. Hundreds of horses ran away
and a regular stampede occurred on the lejee,
but no very serious results are yet reported.
Damage to vegetation in the country must huvo
been very severe. ..
The storm was followed by a very heayy fall
of rain. A very severe thunder storm also oc
curred last night and rain fell very copious
during nearlv all the forenoon h><iay._ These
storms have extended generally througout the
West, but, as telegraphic communication is cut
off. the amount of damage, if any. cannot be
ascertained.
The damage by the hail storm of yesterday
afternoon is variously estimated at from twenty
to one hundred thousand dollars. The latter
sum is probably the most correct. The demol
ition of glass alone is quite fearful. No serious
casualties are yet reported.
Indianapolis, April 20.—About 9 o clock last
night a terrific rain and hail storm, accompanied
by wind and lightning, passed over this city.
The Indiana Central Railroad freight depot was
blown down and a number of other buildings
unroofed. . The watchman at the Central Depot,
Alleji McCutcheon, was killed and several otheT
employes seriously injured. Rev. Daniel Bul
lion, a Universal 1st Minister, of Utica, New
York, was passing the depot at tho time of the
accident, took shelter in the building and was
very seriously, if not fatally, injured. Tho tele
graph lines in the city were all prostrated, but
most of them have been rep&ireu and comminu
tion resumed. 1 '
Dubuque, April 20.—A- tornado passed over
the upper portion of tho city last evening, de
stroying a huge amount of property, carrying
away houses, taking off roofs, etc. One man
named Kaiser, was killed and a number injured.
The Iowa B re wry and tho Fifth Ward School-
house were unroofed. It was tho most destruc
tive storm that ever visited this section.
An Omaha dispatch says that Generals Stone-
man and Sexton left for San Francisco to-day,
their command will follow in a few days.
Chicago. April 20.—Tho storm of yesterday
was one of the severest and most extensive that
has occurred for a long time. It extended near
ly the whole length of this State, and west as
far as the Mississippi river. At Bloomington the
Catholic Church, not yet completed, was blown
down. Loss $50,000. Tho church, when com
pleted, would have cost $100,000. The Bloom
ington Manufacturing Company suffered con
siderably. Ludington and Road’s warehouse
was unroofed. Several others suffered more or
less from tho effects of tho storm. In this city
tho storm was fierce, thunder and lightning viv
id, and almost continuous for six or eight hours.
At Dubuque a tornado passed over the city. Tho
residence of Mr. Kuiser was blown down. He
was killed and his wife seriously injured. Sev
eral houses were unroofed.

Rains and Floods in Floyd County.
Wo copy tho annexed from tho Rome Courier
of the22dinst:
Between last Sunday noon and Tuesday morn
ing, over four inches of water fell in this -vicin
ity The rain seems to have extended to the
head waters of onr rivers, and been goneral in
North Georgia. Tho rivers here commenced
rising Monday evening and hod not ceased np
to noon Wednesday. The water at that time
oovered a large portion-of tho bottom lands
on tho North side of tho Oostananla river,
opposite tho city, and on this side surrounded
the post office, and came Up to within three foot
of the top of the pavement at that place. Most
of the ground in the rear of the Shorter block
was submerged.
This flood will probably prove very disastrous
to the crops on the Coosa bottoms. So for as
we have heard there has been no material dam
age done in this city, nor is there likely to be.
Mr. H. C. Harper has suffered a loss of about
one thousand dollars from the injury done to his
“brick yard and unbumt brick, near the Oosta
nanla river, above tho city. „
The river ceased to rise abont 1 o'clock, and
was then not as high os in February, 1861 by
over five feet.

Hall of Cleburne Fire Co.,)
. Eufaula, April 19th. )
At a called meeting of Cleburne Fire Compa
ny, No. 1, of Eufanlo, Ala., the following reso
lutions were unanimously adopted :
1st. That our thanks are dae to General
William S. Holt, President of the Southwestern
Railroad, for the very low rate of transporta
tion tendered at a trifling cost to visit Macon,
and be present at tho annual parade of the Fire
Department of that city.
2d. That onr warmest thanks are dne to Cap
tain C. E. Cox, the accommodating and gentle
manly conductor of the train that conveyed ns
to and from Macon. Captain Cox seemed to an
ticipate onr wants, os well as the wants of the
numerous passengers traveling with him, and
we only regret our inability to mention him ac
cording to his merits.
3d. That our thanks ore tendered to that
prince of caterers, Mr. McAfee, for the splendid
dinners furnished ns at Smithville and Fort
Valley, and we feel that we are but doing jus
tice to the traveling public when we advise
them to patronize Mr. McAfee.
4th. That we remember with pride and pleas
ure tho warm reception which we met on onr ar
rival in Macon, and we tender onr thanks, first,
to Protection Fire Company No. 1, for the fine
collation tendered ns on onr arrival. Second,
to Young America No. 3, for tho free use of
their elegant Engino honse and Hall, and, lastly,
to the entire Fire Depatement of Macon for the
fraternal greeting, genial courtesy and brother
ly acts of kindness so freely bestowed npon us,
and as the Roman matron fondly pointed to her
two sons as her jewels, so may the city of Ma
con, with like pride, point to her six fire compa
nies os the brighest jewels she possesses.
5th. To tho gentlemanly proprietors of the La
nier Honse, Messrs. Collier and Boys* we are
under lasting obligations for their successful ef
forts to render ns comfortable. This first class
hotel with its gentlemanly and accommodating
proprietors, merits and should receive a large
patronage.
6th. We regret onr inability to properly thank
the fair ladies of Macon for the smiles of ap
proval and friendship with which they greeted
us. To Mrs. Geo. H. Logan, Mrs. B. A. Mor
ris, Misses Maggie M. Seymour, Emma Powers,
Mattie J. DorseU, Ella Ross and others whoso
names we are unable to remember, we are par
ticularly indebted for tho beautiful wreaths and
bouquets with which they decorated our engine.
One by one the flower petals have dropped from
their stems, and the evergreens, the emblems
of unchanging friendship, have faded. But the
memory of the donors still blooms in our hearts,
and will only change when mortality changes
to immortality.
Resolved, lastly, That our thanks are tender
ed to the fair ladies of onr own city, who ac
companied ns on the excursion; their smiles
encouraged our hearts, their presence nerved
and strengthened onr arms, and we feel that to
them, in a great measure, we are indebted for
whatever of success we may have attained.

AT REST.
Macon Lodge, No. 5. F. A. M.,\
Macon, April 19th, 1869. J
The committee appointed to draft resolutions in
regard to tho death of Brother Smct Bose, beg
leave to report as follows:
Tho silent eloquence of tho sleeping dead, more
than the most impressive utterances of the linns,
is calculated to remind ua of the uncertainty of life,
and tho vanity of al! human pursuits. " Man that
is bom of woman is of few days and fud of trou-
•ble.” Like a flower of the field he spnngethup,
and though he may perchance continue to a npe
old age, “yet withal he must soon be cut down by
the all devouring scythe of Time,” and “ the place
that knew him on earth must know him no more
forever."
Than our beloved Brother, Smri KosE-whose
memory wo revere, whoso loss we deplore—who, to
us and this entire community, was more familiarly
known, more widely respected, more highly es
teemed ’ Vs a genial companion, a worthy citizen,
adevoted friend, he has long been endeared to the
hearts of our people. Uniting his destiny with Ma
con when, as an humblo village on the eastern bank
of the Ocmulgeo, it was struggling to maintain a
feeble existcnce-when tho spot whereon wo now
stand was covered by the primal forest, where the
Kod Man's footprints wero fresh to be seen and his
council fires had scarcely ceased to glow—ho has, to
the present time been prominent in every work cal
culated to advance its interests; and to no one man,
perhaps, is our beautiful city more largely indebted
for its present state of improvement.
When, in 1824, the Master’s gavel first called our
noble craft to labor here, ho was among the first to
seek tho light of Masonry, and to crave admission
to its solemn ceremonies. From that time to tho
evening when, indisposed, ho loft this hall to seek
repose, on that conch from which, three days after,
ho was homo a lifeless corpse, he zealously per
formed the duties of the faithful craftsman.
In 1825 he was chosen Secretary of this Lodge,
which oflico ho held at tho time of his death, and
which had been tendered to him with singular una
nimity for forty-four consecutive years. Of his
faithfulness in tho discharge of its duties, tho pon
derous tomes in onr archives attest. Ho had also
filled the office of Secretary in Constantine Chapter,
Washington Conned and 81 Omcr Commandery, of
Knights Templar.
His labor as Grand Secretary of tho Grand Lodgo
of Georgia, began in 1845, and terminated with his
life, after twenty-four years of devoted service.
By the craft in Georgia, no ono was more generally
beloved, and the tidings of his death was a messago
of mourning to every subordinate Lodge.
When Froomasonary was made the object of a
fiendish persecution—-when political anathemas
wero thundered against it, and its very existence
throM^mi*!, kie, nothing daunted, stood firmly at his
post, and, with tho faithful few, kept alive tho fire
upon its sacred altar.
Devoted in his attachment to the principles of tho
Order, ho in every station performed his part with
fidelity and zeal never shrinking from tho discharge
of any duty, however onerous, nor absenting him
self from our assemblies when it was in hia power
to attend.
But long as he walked among us, and zealously as
he labored with us, tho dread messenger did at last
come—as coma he must to us all—and summoned
him away.
“Tis meet that, in the evening of his days, •
He thru should pass from ns to his reward!”
Yet ’tis a sore bereavement, and wo • would fain
givo utterance to our sorrow.
With saddened hearts we have borne him to that
beautiful resting place of the silent dead that bears
his name, and is a lasting memorial of his taste,
energy, and dovotion, there to rest from tho labor
of life till summoned, as wo hope, to tho refresh
ment of a blissful immortality.
May the dost press lightly on his honored breast,
and his sleep be peaceful as an infant’s dream.
Resolved. That in the death of Brother Srani
Bose tho Masonic Institution has lost' one of its
most ardent supporters—one who, in its darkest
boors, forBook it not, but steadily maintained the
right till justice triumphed, and truth over false
hood and error prevailed.
Resolved, That this Lodge has been deprived of
an old and much loved member—one who for forty-
five yeara labored for its interests with an industry
and a zeal which have seldom been equalled and
never surpassed, and which know no abatement to
his dying hour.
Resolved, That wo will cherish bis memory os ono
we delighted in life to honor—one bound to ns by
ties of affection which death cannot eever.
Resolved, That a page in onr records be inscribed
with his name, place and date of birth, the time of
his death, and tho various positions he has occupied
in the Masonic Institution.
Resolved, That we will wear the usual badge of
mourning for sixty days, and that the furniture,
jewels and implements of tho Lodge be hung with
crape for the same space of time.
Resolved, That this preamble and resolutions be
published in tho Macon Telxorafh and Journal and
Messenger, and a copy transmitted to the family
of our deceased brother, in testimony of our sym
pathy in their sorrow and affliction.
