TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 27, 1869.
The Conrt Ilonnc Commiulou.
We learn that at the meeting of the Conrt
Horae Commission last Saturday, .the Conrt
Horae was finally located on the comer of Sfnl-
berrv street, ns heretofore described, and in
structions were ordered to advertise for plans
and proposals, forthwith. . J f t ,1
Jferriwether Springs, r ^ !
> Open the 1st of May next at prices to meet
hard times. Sec 'the advertisement of D. L.
Booher and Son, proprietors, who offer Board
per day at $2,00—per week at . $12,00—per
month at $10,00, and to take f&miles at reduced
rates. Considered the luxurious appointments
and accommodations, this is surprisingly low.—
The Meriwether Springs offer every inducement
that could be desiring by visitors. They are un
surpassed in Georgia, and are, in fact, among
the finest Chalybeate Springs in the world.
A New FxtElGHT AM) PaSSEXCEB Dzfot.—Itis
stated that the Ceptza). and Southwestern Rail
roads will very Boon eommenco the construction
of new passenger and freight depots at the foot
of Mulberry street, the belter to accommodate
the ir vast through frtlghtlnganfl pam&gft
trade. The present passenger station will then
be occupied by the Macon and Western, Macon
and Brunswick and Macon and Augusta Roads.
Coxncis ros the Macos axd Baraswicx
Road.—Says the Augusta Chronicle and Senti
nel, in accordance with the provisions of the
recent contract made between the county of
Richmond, the city of Augusta and Grant,
Alexander 4 Co., railroad contractors, five con
victs, recently convicted of different crimes,
and sentenced to hard labor on the chain-gang
under the laws of Georgia, will leave for the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad on to-morrow
morning. Mr. T. C. Bridges, keeper of the
county jail, will guard the prisoners while en
route to the scene of labor. The following are
the names of the convicts, all of whom are
colored: John Mitchell, Jane Carr, Laura Wil
liams, Henry Williams and Thoe. Hankinson.
Disco vest or a Dun Whale.—Capt. Bulkley,
of the steamship Virgo, says the Savannah Re
publican, reports that about threo o’clock on
Friday afternoon last, when fifty miles south
west of Frying Fan Shoals, and three miles off
shore, discovered what was supposed to be a
. boat from its appearance; bore down to it, but
upon nearing it found it to be a largo dead
sperm whole, estimated to be at least forty feet
in length, with a harpoon and lance in its body.
From appearance the animal hod not been long
dead. .»• :

France, Great Britain and Cuba.
The Herald’s London special, of yesterday,
reports, as a rumor current in London, that the
British Government, with a view to prevent the
f Me. Chaedlzb’s Speech.—The
British Minister, who is at present in Hew York,
is credited with the remark that the Chandler
speech will be s God-send to the Tory party at
home, as they will be sure to construe it as s
menace, which the party in power will be called
upon to resent, or else bear the odium of sub
mitting to it In any event it will answer to
inflame the popular feeling, and put the day of
settlement further away than ever.
Death aw Con. T. B. Howaed.—Col. Thacker
B. Howard, one of the earliest white settlers of
this section of the country, and for a long time
a prominent and highly esteemed citizen, died
at his residence in Columbus on Friday night.
His health had for some timo been feeble, and
an attack of pneumonia in his weak condition
proved fatal. Col. Howard would have been 71
years of age in July next.
SrcurAST Bobos to Rrmox.—Washington
dispatches of tho 23d report that Secretary
Boric, of the Navy, has intimated to the Presi
dent his intention to resign on account of ill-
health. Since his appointment he has performed
but little official duty, the department being
folly under control of Admiral Porter.
The Imtesiaust.—The Newark Daily Jour
nal, of the 20th, makes the astounding statement
that the Imperialist is edited under tho auspices
and at the cost of tho Secretary of the Navy,
Mr. Adolph Boris, and alleges that Grant him
self has been distributing copies to his friends.
The proof—Mr. Journal!
OaLRHOBrxNa 1.—Wo loam from the Ma
con Texxobaph that this company contemplate
a visit to their brother firemen of Macon about
the 15th of May, on which occasion they will be
the guests of Protection No. 1, of that city.—
Macon knows how to entertain firemen and
everybody else,and the Oglethorpe have a merry
' time ahead.—Savannah Republican.
DrrnccLTus nr the Hill or Santa—The
Columbus Sun says that at one of the African
collegiate institutes in that place a teacher sent
out a boy to wash his face. He came back with
water clinging to his wool and forehead. “Have
you washed," asked preceptress. “Yea’m.”
“Why didn't you wipe your face ?” “Did,
m’am, as fur as my shirt tail would Tow.” No
more was said. A towel was found next time,
and the necessity of using nnder garments ob
viated.
Eupumxo a Hired Seevahs.—Sumter Supe
rior Court, on Friday, tried the case of the
State vs. Dr. Turner, charged with the misde
meanor of knowingly employing another's hired
servant After a tedious investigation the jury
returned a verdict of “not guilty."
Cbawfishin'g.—The Montgomery Advertiser
predicts that there will be some exemplary
crawfishing done before summer is over, in the
matter of the Alabama claims. That seems to
be the principal chance for peace left to the
country.
A PorsTED Question.—Senator Sprague, in
his late speech to the Senate, asks that body,
“is there anything left in the Constitution of
our fathers, however sacred, against which you
do not dare to raise your poricidal hands ?”
Extortiso Praise feoai His Esewtks.—The
New York Times declares that “Governor Hoff
man deserves the support of every honest news
paper in the State, Republican and Democratic,
for his resistance to the schemes of plunder
which are so rife at Albany.
A Washington dispatch of the 20th states as
a fact, that a considerable quantity of cannon
was shipped from Philadelphia on that day for
some point South, and eventually to Cuba.
The Talbott on Gazette reports the death of
Archibald Bruce, a very old citioen of Talbot.
He was ninety years of age, and had been for
many years a ruling elder in the Presbyterian
Church.
Babon Rothschild's fortune was scattered
over the world, and the amount of it ias just
been ascertained. It reaches the figures of one
thousand seven hundred millions francs, or
three hundred and forty millions dollars.
Navigation of the Ocmtloez.—The steamer
C. S. Hardee arrived at Hawkinsville Sunday
night with a respectable passenger list and a
heavy freight of merchandise, chiefly for Ma.

Railwat trains in Sweden are provided with

of sudden sickness or accident.
Era and dated, Metropolitan Hotel, Washington,
D. C., April 14, 1SC9. The wars of the Georgia
Radicals are now very appropriately carried on
outside the State. Georgia feels no concern
about them, and they are waged purely in the
interest of the combatants. Caldwell says that
Farrow’s pamphlet was circulated for effect in
Washington before a single copy of it was mailed
to Georgia, and that Dickey, to whom it was ad
dressed, is a warm friend of Senator Hill and
known to be opposed to the Sumner and Butler
bills.
Caldwell then proceeds in a verbose review of
Farrow’s pamphlet, covering seven columns o
the Era. He goes into an exposition of the an
imus and the objects of the revolutionists and
d'ot.il. at length the machinery and clap-trap
nsed to work out their schemes. These schemes,
he says, were defeated by the Conservative Re
publicans of Georgia. The Democrats were in
no condition to help themselves or the state;
bnt the business was done by Hiram Warner,
Dr. Bard, J. E. Bryant, T. P. Saffold, Isham 8.'
Fannin, Ackerman, Holden, Osgood, Bowles,
and Simms, J. H. Caldwell and so forth.
He says when the Radicals were whipped ont
they were “mad, enraged, desperate.”' No
doubt they felt badly, and the “Conservative
Republicans” would have plumed themselves all
the more, if they, too, in turn, had not been
whipped ont in all the Georgia appointments.
Caldwell says:
“It is time to expose villainy. There is
enough exhibited here to efirago any
not in the condition of Georgia. If si
duct were attempted by the chief officials of any
Northern State, what would the people do to
them ? But our people must not be rash. Their
peril is imminent. Let them bide their -time :
be patient and endure the pressure of existing
evils. The day will come when they will be
emancipated from them. A reaction will take
place. The most extreme men in Congress are
beginning to see it.”
Well, under ordinary circumstances, it would
perhaps be “time to expose villainy,” but in
these days the business seems to be much like
showing a bone to a hungry dog. It stimulates
his appetite ; it don’t excite disgust; it don’t
lead to shame, repentance or reformation. The
public accept as a settled point that there’s no
thing bnt villainy to be seen, bnt they question
the moral effect of the exhibition. People
sometimes get beyond the senso of shame, and
look upon their own or any other villainy, not
with remorse, but with the eyes of an adept—
an expert—merely to see how it could have been
improved upon, and whether there’s any ras
cality afloat which they ore not fully up to. We
think, therefore, it would be well in Caldwell to
defer the exposure until the so-called Republi
can politicians in Georgia shall have arrived at
a point in which villainy shall cease to operate
upon them ns a stimulant and source of emnla-
Aoo. - ^ *
Tlic Eight Hour Law.
Attorney General Hoar sent to Secretary Bono
on the 23d inst, an opinion os to the constitu
tionality of the eight hour law, saying he had
no reason to differ from the opinion rendered
by Ex-Attoniey General Evarts. In accor
dance with this, Secretary Borie has issued a
circular letter to heads of the various navy yards
saying that while the Navy Department has not
a right to compel mechanics and laborers to
work more than eight hours, yet it has a right
to employ them to labor extra hours and pay
prorata for such work. Senator Wilson has
addressed a letter to the Secretary of War dis
senting from the official construction placed up
on the eight hour law. Tho letter will probably
be published.
Tho eight hour law is a piece of demagogio
nonsense which will return to plaguo the inven
tors. Georgia and the Confederacy made many
experiments to regulate values by law. Wo be
gan with a heavy attempt on salt, and we had
the most vigorous legislative and executive mo
tion, not only to keep salt, but a good many
other articles, down to reasonable rates.
It is due to troth, however, to say that this ides
as not original with Georgia. It is, in fact,
about as old as the world, as well as unreason-
It has been tried aa infinity of
timos since the flood, and failed as often as
tried, and yet the world resolutely sticks to it,
as if it were entirely practicable and philoso
phical.
The “eight hour law” is a grand scheme for
compelling mankind to pay the price of ten
hours’ labor for eight. Now this can be made
to work only by a universal application of the
principle of the law to all other commodities as
well as to labor. For example, if you call eight
hours a full day’s work, then call eight tenths of
the old price a fall day’s wages—or if you pay
in other commodities count eight tenths as a
bushel, a yard a gallon or a pound. This would
be fair and impartial. It is not right to give a
short measure of labor and claim a full one of
molasses. It would, however, amount to a
mere change of names, and this is all the eight
hour law can possibly amount to.
In other words values are not to be controlled
by arbitrary enactments. They take their
origin in entirely different causes, and ore
pretty nearly as independent of human enact
ments as the changes of the seasons. The bald
political demagogery which seeks to delude
laboring men into the idea of adding twenty
per cent value to their labor by a Congressional
or State statute, making eight hours a day’s
work, is shameless and disgusting.
If government wants to benefit the laborer,
there is bnt one way—reduco the oppressive
burdens of taxation—unfetter trade by taking
off tariff and excise duties, and then you make
on one hand cheap living and on the other an
active demand for labor, which will stimulate
its price.
From Lanrcns County.
Laurens Countt, April 24th, 1869.
Editors Telegraph •—I never see anything
in your paper from old Laurens. The com
crop in this county looks very promising, and
what cotton is up looks well. The planters
have bought largely of commercial manures, and
the freedmen are working very well Guano,
and “how much have you put to the acre?” are
the topics of conversation, and Mr. David Dick
son’s plan of cultivating cotton. If the reason
suits and the caterpillar should not appear, I
think old Laurens will zfiake an average crop
with some of her sister counties. I am fearful
that some have neglected to plant com enough
for home consumption, and that the long-nosed
hogs will cry out next fall that bought com cost
too much for me to eat, so I will have to “root
hog or die.” Yours, etc., Q. L. H.

This is the title of a broadside upon Farrow anneiation of Cnba to the United Stales, would
by Caldwell, published in the last Atlanta New forlhwith ccnce(ie belligerent righto to the in-
■ snrgente, and^ lend such countenance.to the
rebellion as to insnre its success, and induce the
Cubans to erect an independent power instead
of seeking incorporation with the United States.
We suspect this story is got np in the interests
of American filibusterism. We believe England
and France are under treaty stipulations to
guarantee Spain in the possession of Cuba;
and that Government will hardly delude itself
with the hope of preventing annexation, so soon
ns Spain loses her grasp of Cuba. The one
must be regarded as the natural sequence of the
other, and hence the treaty alleged to have been
made by the two powers, immediately after the
failure of the Lopez expedition, in which they
undertook to assure Spain in the possession of
that island.
The following dispatch to the Western prints
i3 interesting in this connection:
London, April 22.—The Post has an article on
the Cuban question and gives currency to the
assertion that Grant desires tho acquisition of
Cnba in order to divert the attention of Ameri
cans from internal distractions. It says there
would be no doubt as to the issue of a conflict,
and thinks the acquisition of Cuba would lead to
the final acquisition of the whole West Indies.
France and England will doubtless determine
whether these designs against Cuba will be toler
ated, or aid Spain in relieving her colony. The
French press has agitated the question much in
the same tenor, and special meetings of the
French Cabinetwere held Tuesdayand Wednes
day which resulted in a special envoy being sent
yesterday to London with dispatches referring to
Vie present complication of events.
This indicates that tho two governments aro
in very earnest deliberation on the subject, and,
as we hardly doubt, with the single purpose of
preventing tho acquisition of Cuba by the
United States. Taking the view of the London
From Washington.
Washington, April 26.—The Herald’s London
special ssyn : “It is rumored that the Government
will adopt a bold Cuban policy, conceding belligerent
righto to the Insurgents and, by moral and materi
al assistance, insuring the independence of the Is
land, and thus prevent its absorption by the United
States, and maintaining their own consistency
respect to the recognition of the Confederacy.”
Senators Sherman, Poole and Sumner have suc
ceeded in engineering a reconciliation between Ab
bott and Sprague. Sprague writes Abbett: “He
wrote the paragraph which gave Abbott offence be
fore Abbott spoke.” Whereupon Abbott writes
Sprague: “My allusion to you. in the Senate, was
founded on a misconception. I ask you to consider
it unsaid.
Dispatches from all points represent magnificent
celebrations of the fiftieth anniversary of the Odd

Buena Vista, April 23, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : The lato cold weather in
some of the lower counties set the punters back
some, and fruit was damaged slightly in low
damp places. The crops, however, in the coun
ties of Talbot, Marion, Chattahoochee, Stewart,
and Webster, are looking very welL The supply
of labor is pretty good, and harmony and good
feeling prevail between all classes of people.
The freedmen are laboring well, and everything

The promises of this gigantic establishment,
says the Columbus Enquirer, offer more, to
please the eye and encourage the hopes of the
lovers of Southern home enterprise, than can
be found elsewhere within the limits of Georgia
or of any State adjoining. It is worth a visit
from every citizen of Columbus, and no stranger
sojourning here should leave without seeing the
works, completed and in progress, of this Com
pany. It has been made known that they have
in full operation one of the very largest cotton
and woolen factories in the country, and that
they are daily taming out a larger variety of
first-class fabrics than any other one mill; and
all our local merchants, as well as the distant
customers of the oompany, know how greatly
in excess of the supply is tho demand for these
goods. But a great many people right hero
within the daily hearing of the bell by which
the labor of the thousand operatives is regulated,
have never seen nor have the least idea of what
has been done, and what is now being done for
the extension and improvement of this magnifi
cent enterprise.
In addition to the large mill completed and
pnt in operation last fall, the company are pre
paring the foundation for another mill building,
larger and of still greater capacity than the fir,st
while the foundation of offices and store-rooms
has already been laid'and the walls going rapidly
up. The activity prevailing at every point
about the premises cannot fail to inspire the
visitor with a new hopo and a now courage.—
Over a hundred laborers are at work—wheeling
dirt, clearing rubbish away, mixing mortar, car
rying hods, piling up wood, loading drays with
goods, receiving bales of cotton and wool, drill
ing and blasting stone, and doing tbe hundred
other services required about the place—and yet
it is all done with such perfect order and regu
larity that no chance is made for confusion, or
opportunity given for idling.
During the summer the building just now be
ing located will loom up a splendid structure,
and like a bride waiting for the bridegroom, it
will be ready to receive tho machinery which by
that time will have arrived from Europe. Messrs.
W. H. Young and H. V. Meigs have already
gone to select and provide the best that can be
obtained. And when it is all received and
placed, and all tbe plans of the Directors of the
Company for enlarging the variety and quality
are fully developed, the Eagle and Phcnix Man-
ufacturinfi Company will atand far in front, and
a head and a shoulder higher, than any other
manufacturing establishment in the whole south.
The Advantage or being a H oman.
One “Hannah Tyler” claiming to be a spinster
clerk in one of the Washington Departments,
sours over abuses in the following to the Inde
pendent :
My observation has shown me that any
simpering girl can wheedle more favors from
her superiors by one shake of curls than a con
scientious man could obtain by a year's diligent
labor. It is not my intention to be personaL—
Bat every one in Washington knows that the rale
is, if clerks are absent from their desks, except
when on leave, a corresponding deduction is
made from their pay; yet it has been no uncom
mon thing for women to ask two weeks’ leave,
remain two or three months, and on their return
draw the full arrearage of salary. And if their
pay was stopped by the disbursing clerk, they
would send such details of portly gentlemen,
signing themselves ‘M. C.’ that he would be
glad to pay the money, fearing to lose his own
place. A married lady sits within speaking dis
tance as I pen this paragraph who remained at
home for more than a year, and drew $74 per
month for the entire period. As a woman, I
denounce this as a fraud on the public.”
Cotton.
A dispatch from New York reports the receipts
of last week at all the ports of the United States
at 27,180 bales. The receipts of the correspond
ing week of last year were 18,000 bales. So the
week's operations go to sustain the opinion ex
pressed a few days ago that the m»Timnm of de
crease, as compared with last year’s receipts,
has been reached, and that the receipts for the
remainder of the season will show again on
those of last year for the' corresponding time.
The stock on hand and on shipboard not yet
cleared at all United States ports is reported at
268,850 bales. This is against 232,000 bales at
the corresponding date of last year. The stock
of American in Liverpool on Friday afternoon
was reported by telegraph at 167,000 bales. At
the corresponding date of last year the stock of
American in Liverpool was 231,000 bales.
The total receipts at all the United States
ports are now 15,000 bales short of the receipts
to same time in 1868. This includes the esti
mate of the receipts overland.—Columbus En

South Carolina Negroes.
Of the population of South Carolina, 400,000
are colored and 300,000 white. Tho ratio is
changing fast Emigration helps and so does
the death rate. A Times correspondent says that
the mortuary reports in Charleston for the year
1868 exhibit the fact that out of a population of
about 40,000 in the city—about half white nnd
half black—there have died 1,208 persons; of
these, 818 were colored, and 390 white. That
is, more than two negroes to one white died
last year in Charleston. More exactly it is, one
negro in every twenty-four dies annually; while
in the same time only one in every fifty-one
whites dies.
The vote of the State is about one in seven;
that is, about 100,000 votes in alL Of these
00,000 are negroes and 40,000 whites—the ma
jority of negroes being 20,000. The black race
is crowding toward the coast, leaving the upper
and middle country. This gives the mountain
counties already a majorty of whites; and tbi*
majority must idcrease on that side of the State.
At the next elections, in 1870, it is very proba
ble that the whites will have a majority in the
State Senate, which consits of one from each
county.—Commercial Advertiser.

Four Children Elope and Marry!—Two twin
sisters, aged fifteen, recently eloped together

pearances clearly indicate that they have marry
on the brain to an alarming extent. We would
advise their mothers to look after them at once,
