Hacon PostofOce.
It will be seen from the press telegrams that
Turner has been duly qualified as Postmaster in
Macon. We cannot doubt that the President
gave Judge Colo the most ample assurances that
the appointment should be revoked, but has been
overruled by his Cabinet. He is a weak brother.
From Lowndes County.
The Valdosta Times, to which we are indebted
for the subjoined information, announces the
accession to the editorial force of that pa
per, of Mr. L. W. Andrews, who addresses
the pnblic in the Times, of the 9th, in a well-
conceived salutatory.
The Atlanta and Gulf Railroad commenced
running an accommodation train between Sav-
annah and No. 6, the point of divergence to
Brunswick, on the 7th instant. The roads were
expected to connect on the 4th of July.
The weather in Lowndes was hot and dry. Cot
ton waa begining to bloom, and the crop clenn
and in good order. The oat harvest had been
unsurpassed, and the crop had been secured in
good order. Showers were needed to set the
sweet potato crop and fill the com. %
From Talbot County.
The West Georgia Gazette, of the 10th, learns
that the grain crops in the valley were never in
better condition. The yield of wheat will be
very large. No disease having attacked it, the
grains are fuller and heavier than for many
years past. The com and cotton crops are in
good condition, and bid fair to keep up "ho
reputation of the Valley as the best farming
section in the State.
't A protracted meeting was in progross in Tal-
botton under the direction of Revs. T. T. Chris
tian and R. J. Corley, assisted by Mr. Evans, of
Columbus. An Odd Fellows Lodgo was to be
started. The Talbot Schools, Le Vert Cpllege,
Collingsworth Institute and Providence High
Sobool, were in highly prosperous condition.
The Gazette has the following upon the fence
question :
Many papers in Georgia are agitating tho
plan of fencing in stock, instead of fencing in
the crops. Do away with fences around the
com and ooUon, and fence in pastures. This
would undoubtedly lx: a saving of millions ev-
ery year to the farmers, as the expenses of their
enclosures are now enormous. It is probable
some legislative action will be had on the sub
ject at the next meeting of the General Assem
bly. It ia Mwttgr. .Aafir MMWMuttoB. Homs
interesting suggestions concerning this plan,
from the Macon Telegraph, will bo found on
our first page.
Blacxbisby Trade—A LmEHAL Offer.—CoL
R. J. Moses, in the Columbns Enquirer of
Thursday morning, makes the following very
liberal offer:
“I will pay fifty cents a bushel for blackber
ries and famish the blackberries, if delivered
st my farm, etc.”
We never knew more liberal trading than this,
and only one case at all equal toil. That was
the case of the man in the for trade who bought
the aame beaver skin forty-seven times in one
day; hat in that case the skin was stolen forty-
six times—the buyer was imposed upon and did
not suspect fraud until his attention was aroused
by the apparent great number of beaver skins
in market and their wonderful similarity. In
this ease, however, the Colossi goes into tho
bUokberry market on principle and with a defi
nite understanding. We have no donbt the of
ferings on this schedule will be heavy.
Sad Afrair.—We are informed, says the
Montgomery Mail, of a very sad affair, the par
ticulars of which, so fsr as onr informant could
learn them, are as follows;
About two weeks since a Mr. Strickland, re
cently from Grantville, Georgia, married a lady
near Tallasee, or Cowles' Station on the Mont
gomery and "West Point Railroad. Returning
to Grantville on hia bridal tour, ho met a man
the othor day, between whom and himself an old
feud existed. An altercation ensued in which
Strickland was killed. The widowed bride,
with the corpse, came to Cowles' Station on Mon-
day evening’! train.
Persiah Clover.—A gentleman of this city
brought ns yesterday a stalk of Persian Clover,
(seed from Bokhara) which was eight feet high.
The stem was half an inch at tho base. This
clover was in bloom, and, when 3 feet 5 inches
high, grew at the rate of 4 inches a day. Hie seed
when dry is as fragrant an the Vanilla bean.
The original seed was brought from the Paris
Exposition and sowed in 1867. It is a peren
nial gross of the tallest kind, certainly. m
Not Truni.iv.-, Down.—Tho Atlanta New Era
nays the Opera . House is not tumbling down,
and is, on the contrary, one of the strongest
buildings in Georgia. The questionis will they
be able to say as much when their heads are
smashed under the tumbling bricks ?
Mad Doos nr Mostoouest.—The Montgom
ery Advertiser reports the presence of mad
dogs in that city. We have never heard of any
well authenticated case of canine madness so
far South ; and there are too many dogs about
for safety if there is any danger of rabies
among them.
Pleasant Agricultural Metjtxo.—The East
Alabama Agricultural Society met at the model
farm of C. A. Peabody, Esq., on Tuesday last,
' and held an interesting and desultory talk, and
were entertained with a fine dinner by Mrs. P.
daring the day. The transactions are reported
by the Sun and Enquirer.
Gorao a. Fishing.—Everybody in Columbus
is going a fishing. It is a quiet, contemplative
business—adapted to the times. The grown
people fish and the boys shoot pop-guns and
hunt “ won-urns" for bait
- It is reported in Columbus that ex-Provisional
Governor James Johnson, late Collector of the
port of Savannah, is to be appointed Judge of
the Columbus Circuit He is to take the place
of that eminent and incorruptible Jurist, Judge
Worrilh m
Hon. A. H. Stephen's.—The Greensboro Her
ald says Mr. Stephens is improving and can now
sit up and attend to business most of the day.
Poheio Schools in Columbus. — The Sun
says there are four hundred pupils in the three
public schools in Columbus.
Washington under Negro Rule.—The
World's dispatch closes its account of the Wash
ington election as follows:
Let no Northern man, be he Democrat or Re
publican, for his life or his property, set foot in
Washington with a dollar, for under the munici
pal rule now in force, neither ih sale Before
Sis riot, capitalists have shunned this place.
Let them do so forevermore. The town is
doomed and damned.
The New Crisis.
Nearly a year ago we took occasion to remark
upon the great contest between Asiatic and Eu
ropean civilization, religion and politics, of
which the North American continent must inev
itably become the theatre, at no distant date.
Una subject seems to have attracted no great
attention at that time, bat the march of events
has been so rapid, and the signs have become
so portentous, that the attention of the North
ern press generally has been drawn to it
We copy, to-day, one of a series of articles
which have appeared in the Philadelphia Press,
which, in very general terms, review the forces
and the points involved in this mighty contro
versy. In subsequent articles, the Press expa
tiates on the mighty Asiatic immigration which
will be shortly let loose upon thla continent—the
imminence of the conflict and the extreme dan
ger which it threatens to our religion and civil
ization.
Really, the Press seems to think that Chris
tianity will stand a slim chance in the struggle;
and perhaps, will found upon this conviction, a
solemn appeal to Congress to come to her aid.
Congress, we know, is supreme—Congress is
omnipotent—Congress might even reconstruct
the shattered debris of Christianity after she
been knocked to flinders by these Asiatic Budd
hists; bnt perhaps it would be better to inter-
pose a Congressional intervention before the
shock.
Now we suggest that the Press abate its dis
tressing anxiety about the fate of the Christian
religion, and leave it in the hands of that Higher
Power who is pledged and able to protect it—
The point which belongs more properly to poli
ticians is the political safety of the country.
And upon this point, let ns ask in what atti
tude have the radicals put the Great Republic
in relation to this threatened delnge of the cop-
per-faoed Celestials ? Universal manhood suf
frage and no distinctions on account of color or
race, have been incorporated into our constitu
tion and made the grand comer stones of Amer
ican Republicanism under radical manipulation.
It would seem, indeed, as if a judicial Provi
dence had led these radicals, in order to punish
their overweening presumption, arrogance and
recklessness, into a practical and total disarma
ment at tho moment it was about to expose
America to her greatest peril.
We have been busy since the war in obliter
ating every conservative and defensive feature
of the American system. We have been de
nouncing race distinctions, (which are God's
pecial distinctions,) as the most pestilent, de
testable and disallowable of all distinctions,
jnst ns onr gates are opening to a mighty and
innumerable horde of an alien race, with whom
race distinctions are insurmountable as the
sides, and who will base upon them every prac
tical view of politics and morals.
finch wisdom and liberality as tins is akin to
that of tho friendly Indians, who welcomed ex
termination with the foreign white adventurer.
Races ore, in truth, the Heaven-ordained ba
sis of nationality. These distinctions are nat
ural, and, so far as we can learn the will of God
by His providential dealings—woro intended to
promote tho highest interests of men, by sub
serving human convenience, comfort and hap
piness—by inspiring love of country, and all the
noble virtues which are ita outgrowth—by stim
ulating progress and improvement, through ri
valry and emulation.
Indeed, tho natural divisions of the earth's
surface form no such normal and complete
segregation of the hnman race into great polit
ical families called nations, as do these ties of
a kindred origin. Hnman ingenuity surmounts
those topographical barriers without difficulty;
but to obliterato those of race is the forced and
uaBStnral handiwork of successive generations.
Where the distinction of raoe is not very mark
ed, the result, when accomplished, is not ap
parently mischievous. Bnt where the hand of
God has traced this distinction in characters
broad and strong, degeneracy and demoraliza
tion, physical and mental, are the well known
pemJty for a deliberate violation of the plain
teachings of nature.
The American Radicals have, in plain con
tempt of reason and nature, declared war
against race distinctions, even so broad and
strong as between those of whites and blacks.
In so doing, they have broken down the true,
legitimate wall of partition, which might have
preserved the whites in the legitimate political
control of America. - They have been guilty of
treason to an illustrious anoestry, who bequeath
ed this government to their descendants and to
men of their own lineage. They have turned
the country over to whoever will como and take
it, and if these Asiatics come with sufficient
numbers, it must be theirs.
The Washington City Election.
Tho following facts in reference to the recent
election in Washington City are telegraphod to
the Louisville Courier-Journal:
Washington, June 8.—Tho returns from yes
terday's election show that nearly fire thousand
vhite toters failed to tote, and were probably in
timidated from approaching the pod*. The vote
as compared with the registration is that num
ber short.
The evening papers contain details of minor
riots that prevailed dnring the night, bnt to-day
has been comparatively quiet, owing to the new
corporation law, admitting negroes to all parts
of jplacesof amnsement.
It was feared that an attack wonld bo made
on tho National Theater, bnt the negroes conde
scendingly sent a delegation to the proprietors
and informed them that no attack would be
made.
The Republican papers generally pitch into
the negroes for the riot of yesterday, but have
not a word of condemnation for John W. For
ney, whoso inflammatory appeals to tho negroes
were undoubtedly one of the primo causes of
the riot.
Among tho conncilmen elected to impose
taxes and prescribe municipal regulations for the
capital of theoonntrvis the head-waiter at the
National Hotel and the barber at Willard's. One
of the Seventh-ward Aldermen a year or two
since was a bootblack.
The press telegrams yesterday stated as fol
lows : - '
The negro Stewart whom the police carried to
the polls when he voted, was sent to Baltimore
by the authorities for safety.
This was the negro who voted a split ticket
and was subsequently pursued by the blacks with
murderous designs and deadly weapons all over
the city—was secreted and concealed by the
police, and finally the letter, finding themselves
unable to save his life, if he remained in Wash
ington, exiled him to Baltimore for safety.
Such is the penalty for voting a split ticket in
Washington, and such is the freedom of opinion
which has been established and exists in the
Federal city under shadow of the Republican
throne. From such a place as thi« come all the
fierce nveetives against Georgia, charging a
want of political toleration in this State. Here,
the Federal authorities within sound of the fran
tic yells of a negro mob which has taken violent
possession of the polls and defies officers of the
law, of their own party, concoct their schemes
to restore quiet and order i^ Georgia, where
the public peace is disturbed by scarcely a riffle.
We don’t hesitate to say that no State of the
Union, since its formation, was, at any time in
its history, so free from crime and violence of
all as the State of Georgia is at this day.
Surely, so ridiculous a spectacle as this should
arrest the attention of the country, and so
should the wretched results of negro suffrage,
as portrayed in the foregoing dispatch!
New Yorkers being somewhat enthusiastic
regarding excursions to China, Japan, the Holy
Land ana other points, an enterprising traveler

time” is promised.
Tmert Appointment.
press reports 07 JUDOS cole’s interview with
The Herald of the 8th publishes the following
report
Samuel F. Gove and George Edwards, mem
bers of Congress elect, but kept out in the cold,
from Georgia, accompanied by Judge C. B.
Cole, of the Superior Court of Macon, in that
State, made up another delegation that waited
upon President Grant to-day in relation to the
case of Turner, the colored man recently ap
pointed to succeed Mr. Washington as Post
master of Macon. They went to the President
to protest against Turner’s appointment, and
Judge Cole acted as spokesman of the delega
tion.
He told the President that he expressed the
feeling of all the white republicans of the city
of Macon, which he said, was the second in com
mercial importance in the State of Georgia,
when he declared that Turner’s appointment
was not only distasteful to the people of that
place, but that it would actually have the effect
of ruining their business. . No decent white re
publican would tolerate such a man as Turner
in official position in Macon. “If,” said Cole,
“it be true that you, Mr. President, have ap
pointed this man Turner to be Postmaster of
Macon as a rebuke for the outrages and disor
ders that have occurred in that State, you have
selected the wrong place forpunishment. There
has not been any outrages or disorders in that
district, and it seems extremely unjust that one
place should be punished for the sins of an
other.” Judge Cole went on to explain that
Turner was such an offensive character that his
appointment would have the effect of driving all
decent white republicans from Macon.
President Grant heard the Judge to the close
of his remarks with the utmost attention and
respect, and then said that since the appoint
ment had been made he bad reviewed the whole
case, reflected upon the charges that had been
made against Turner, duly weighed the reasons
urged by -the white Republicans of Macon
against Turner’s appointment, and had finally
come to the conclusion that a change should be
made. Ho had already informed Postmaster
General Creswell that Turner’s appointment
ought to be revoked, and, in fact, steps had al
ready been taken to notify Mr. Turner that he
need not strive any farther to obtain bonds, as
his services wonld not be needed as Postmaster
of Macon.
The delegation on hearing this were greatly re
joiced, and, after thanking the President for his
consideration and timely action, left the White
House in the highest spirits. It appears that
Turner, after receiving his appointment, en
deavored in vain to obtain the requisite bonds
for the discharge of his duties as Postmaster.
Nobody in Macon would go security for him,*
and he was obliged to look elsewhere, with no
better success. So poor Tomer, the aspiring
gentleman of color, will havo to abandon his
hunt for federal patronage in Macon and return
again to the avocation of preacher, which he
wonld have abandoned for a postoffice.
The New York Times has the following as its
Washington report:
The Colored Posthastes at Madox.—It is
reported to-day that the President has ordered
the removal of Rev. H. M. Tomer, the recently
appointed colored Postmaster of Macon, Geor
gia. The protests against this appointment,from
Republicans in Georgia, have been very strong.
A Government officer who has just returned
from that State, says that it was more unpopu
lar among the Republicans than the Democrats,
who rather enjoyed the change, inasmuch as
Washington, who was removed to make room
for Turner, had always been obnoxious to the
rebels as a Union man. It will be remembered
that Turner was recently appointed on the
recommendation of Senator Sumner; bnt there
is little donbt, from all that can be learned, that
Tomer, who possesses much ability in certain
respects, succeeded in deceiving Mr. Sumner,
as well as the President. „
Supreme Court or Georgia—Progress
or the Negro Eligibility Case.
Thubsdat, Juno 10, 1869.
The Supreme Court met pursuant to adjourn
ment.
The crowd which had assembled to hear the
argument in the case of White vs. Clements,
from Chatham, involving the question of tho
eligibility of negroes to office, was so great that
upon the suggestion of CoL L. J. Glenn, the
Court adjourned to the Senate Chamber.
The change was made, and order restored
within a few minutes, when A W. Slone, Esq.,
for plaintiff in error, laid down and elaborated
the following propositions:
1st. That the Constitution of the State makes
colored persons citizens.
2d. That it adopts the Code known as Irwin’s
Code of Georgia, as embracing the statutes of
force in Georgia.
3d. The Code provides that among the rights
of citizens is the Elective Franchise, and the
right to hold office.
4th. That all the citizens of Georgia are en
titled to exercise all their rights as such, unless
specially prohibited by law.
5th. That colored citizens are not excepted,
much less specially prohibited by law from hold
ing office in Georgia.
Mr. Hartridge, for the defendant in error,
made some preliminary remarks, sustaining the
rulings of the court below. His argument upon
the main question involved was eloquent and
forcible. He demonstrated clearly, that the fact
of being a citizen of tho United States does not
necessarily confer tljp right to*hold office ; - that
the Constitution of Georgia confers on the ne
gro citizenship, bnt not the right to hold office;
that the Constitntion makes the negro an elec
tor, but does not make him eligible to office;
and that the Code does not confer upon him the
right, for in the clause specifying the rights of
persons of color it does not mention tho right to
hold office.
Mr. Hartridge in his argument cited numer
ous authorities to sustain his various proposi
tions.
Mr. Akerm&n insisted that the disabilities of
colored men under onr old government are not
retained, that this government is a new one, not
a continuation of the old; that the government
of the United States and the people of Georgia
have declared the old government destroyed;
that in the present Constitution, there is no ex
press disqualification of colored men; that all
voters are eligible to office unless expressly made
ineligible; that colored men, having participa
ted in framing the Constitution, are to be pre
sumed legally qualified to participate in all priv
ileges nndemt; that when slavery fell, with it fell
the disabilities of free colored persons, and the
presumptions against them under the old gov
ernment grew ont of slavery; that the adoption
of the old law in the Constitution, Article X,
Section HI., does not revive any load common
law ; that the Constitution was understood by
the large majority of the Convention which
framed it, of the people who framed it, and bv
Congress, to* leave office open to men of both
races; that the right of eligibility exists by
statute if not by the Constitution.
Mr. Lioyd replied. We will give a synopsis of
his speech to-morrow. Upon tho conclusion of
his argument, the Court adjourned till 10 A. 1L
to-morrow.—Atlanta New Era.
Hon A. H. Stephens.
A Washington dispatch to the Western Press
says:
Alexander Stephens, of Georgia, in a letter,
in one of the Washington papers to-day, in reply
to some criticism on his history of the rebellion,
takes a very gloomy view of the situation, and
argues that we are drifting into consolidation
and empire. Nothing, he says, can prevent the
establishment of imperialism but a determined
effort on the part of the people to preserve free
institutions. The remedy, he says, is not in
secession. That was tried and found insuffi
cient. It must be at the ballot-box. He calls
upon the people of the several States to serious
ly consider whether they will maintain free in
stitutions or accept imperialism.
Good foe the Southern Cotton Planter.—
The New York Times says: Despite all the ef
forts of the FrgliVh and other nations to foster
the growth of cotton in India, Egypt, etc., the
place of America has never been really filled,
and returning industry at the South will find a
plentiful demand for its productions. The
latest returns of the British Board of Trade
show that there are now 50,000 people lees earn
ing tliftir living in cotton Manufactures than
there were before the rebellion; whereas, if the
English cotton factories had increased during
the seven years since 3861 at the same rate
they did the five years preceding, the cotton
manufacturing population of England would be
170,000 more than it is now. & enormous is
the loss which the stoppage of American cotton
inflicted upon British industry. The cost of a
new war would be something frightful to both
parties.
The Paris correspondent of the London Daily
News mentions that by way of precaution, the
guard at the Tuileries has been increased by
500 men, who sleep fully aoeourtered and with
their loaded Chasspots close at hand. The
troops too have been kept to their barracks.
Meters. Editort: While taking a walk through
the suburbs of your beautiful city, I strayed into
Russell A Peter’s B re wry. I never oooe thought
of finding such a pleasant retreat The Messrs.
Russell k Peter deserve the thanks of the peo
ple of the city of Macon, and of Central and
Southwestern Georgia, for kee ping such an excel
lent place of amnsement for the former, (where
the tired business man can spend a pleasant
hour, and, for the time being, forget his Ledger
and hia Day Book, and where the lovers of tho
Terpacicorean Art can trip the light fantastic
toe) and for furnishing such a delightful and
healthy beverage to alL
The Germans as a race are the healthiest peo
ple on the continent, and you scarcely ever
find one of them that does not take his “lager.”
But imagine my surprise, when informed that
several of the saloons in the business part of
town were getting supplied with beer from New
York and Cincinnati. If they, or their custom-
era knew the nature of the ingredients used in
preparing the Northern and Western beer for
shipment they wonld be very far from using it;
for any person who has ever been in the busi
ness knows that beer shipped from either New
York or Cincinnati will sour before it reaches
this point, this season of the year, unless they
use some of the various compounds so preva
lent in this age of fast living; among which I
will mention tartaric acid and grape sugar winch
are invariably used by Northern brewers in all
the beer they ship, otherwise it would not keep
fresh. Grape sugar is found by digesting sugar
in a solution of sulphuric acid, saturated to the
consistency of paste, allowed to stand two weeks
and then dried by evaporation. This sugar is
used for preserving and giving a sweetish, acid
ulous taste to beer and wines, and a vinous taste
to brandy.
Dealers in flavoring extracts, in their circu
lars to the trade say: “ Beers which are brewed
for immediate use: A small quantity of the
Grape Sugar need only be added, as the fer
mentation begins soon after and the danger of
souring is overpowered. Ales and beers brewed
for export make the use of tho Grape Sugar
almost indispensable, as a much greater body
is absolutely obtained, which makes the danger
of soaring so much less. Tartaric Add, which
is used in some kinds of beer, may be added to
the Grape Sugar at the commencement.” Why
people will drink beer made up of such “vil
lainous compounds,” in place of tho article
brewed by the "Messrs. Russell and Peter, free
as it is from all such noxious poisons, is .more
than I canton.
Then again-there is a great cry made through
the press about encouraging Southern enter
prise. How can people be expected to invest
their all in any branch of manufacturing busi
ness when those that are already established
in your midst are not patronised by the resi
dent population ? There are very many in this
city who will send North for an inferior article
to that manufactured in Macon, and pay more
for it; yet they will sit back in their lazy chain,
puff their cigars and curse tho d—d Yankee,
while they freely contribute to bwoII his already
plethorio pockets. The Messrs. Russell &
Peter havo invested largely in the brewery
business, and a visit to their establishment will
convince anybody, even the most incredulous,
of the superiority of their beer over any that is
used in Macon. Wayfarer.
The New York Citizen very pertinently asks,
“How is it that Anna Dickinson, who, a few
years ago, inveighed in unmeasured terms
against women who decked themselves in fine
raiment, now appears on the lecture platform
in the most gorgeous toilette, with diamonds
flashing from neck and fingers.” How is this,
Anna? We dont expect women to be consist
ent, but wo should like to heat Anna’s explana
tion. .
