The Powers of Nine Dollars a Day.
We learned yesterday from a source entitled
to confidence, that the Executive office in At
lanta has been pretty well besieged by members
Of the Legislature, clamoring for a called ses
sion in mid-summer, to decide this negro qi
tion. “Ah,” the reader will say, “we can be
lieve that, without any assurance from the Tel-
xonAPH. We are certain that the reconstruction
Radicals are eager for more fuss and more
money.” • *
But we will go further now, and tax your cre
dulity in good earnest, with the information
that the Radicals are not alone in their clamor.
Our informant, a trust-worthy young gentle
man, in a situation to know, said that at least
twenty so-called Democratic members had been
to Governor Bullock with the same entreaty for
an extra session. We did not ask their names
—in fact, we do not want to know their names.
We don't mean to suspeot any body in particu
lar of such an insatiate greed for nine dollars a
day.
We understand Gov. Bullock told these ap
plicants that if he could have any reasonable
assurance that the Legislature, if called togeth
er, would dispose of this question at once and
adjourn, he would comply with their demai
but the Treasury could not stand another two
hundred thousand this year, wasted in unprofi
table wrangling over the question of negro eli
gibility. This is all the information we have to
impart in this connection, and while we cannot
doubt its .accuracy, we confess it excites a pro-
" found and painful surprise.
The Corn Question.
One of our lAading grain and provision houses
in Maoon received yesterday the following:
Sr. Lons, July 3, 1869.
Gentlemen : You no doubt have observed the
steady advance in our com market. To-day
and yesterday we made purchases at 93@94 for
choice St. Charles white, and89®90 for mixed
white, and 80(284 for mixed and yellow, for
choice grades. We much fear figures will go
still higher. We have not been mistaken in our
judgment this season so fsr, and think now we
.rave good cause for notifying our friends that
further advances may be looked for. Flour
very scarce. So much bo that orders for X and
XX and superfines can’t be filled, even at an ad
vance of GO cents per barrel. Respectfully, .
Makkaduke & Bbottc.
The circular of Coates A Alden, of the samo
date, quotes the Agricultural department month
ly report for May and June as follows:
“Cottok—The high prices have stimulated
the business of cotton crowing. New operators
have flocked into it; old plantations have en
larged their boundaries, and the indications are
that prices will decline. An increase of titen-
ty-fize per cent, ichen in bale*, wiU yield no in
crease in dollars, and the profits of the culture,
as of yore, wiU be absorbed in the purchase of
earn and bacon which should be raised and cured
at home."
We think the Southern planters, when they
thns see even the com dealers of St Louis ad*
monish them to raise their own bread
wheat might well dispense with farther argu
ment Com and wheat are destined to be high.
Fortunately the com crop of this year will be
far more abundant than we had* any right to
expect, and, no doubt, many of our planters
will raise a sufficiency for their own consump
tion. But as to the general average, we have no
doubt, Georgia will be short at least eight
or ten millions of bushels.
Impracticable Justice.
A Columbia correspondent of the Charleston
Daily News says:
A negro stole a chicken worth thirty-
cents. He was convicted and sentenced to
month’s imprisonment. He had been kept in
jail two months beforo brought to trial. His
ease came on the thirtieth day of tho sessl
The expenses I hare had carefully made out by
an officer of the curt. They are as follows:
For jail expenses, that is fifty cents a day for
three months, are $45; six witnesses in atten
dance for twenty days, $120; jurors, $18; soli
ctor's, sheriff’s ana clerk's fees $25; making
an aggregate of just $203. Isn’t tho taxpayer
fond of that kind of administration ?
* There is no sense in it, and yet it is the kind
of justice-universal throughout the South. All
tho oonnties of Georgia are more or less bur
dened with it. Every petty offender must be
bound over or committed for trial before the
Superior Court, six months perhaps from date
of offenoo committed. Then he most be indic
ted, tried, oonvictcd, sentenced and punished at
a cost altogether disproportioned to the magni
tude of the offence and the occasion What is
the reason we cannot have some such system of
police justice as is fonnd in the great cities, by
which petty offenden can be carried before the
nearest magistrate, redbandod from the aet of
crimo, and triqd and punished within the hour
and without expanse ? It is evident that this
is the kind of justice the oondition of the South
ern conntry imperatively demands. Is there no
way to adopt it? a
“A Type of the Age.'
Boston, New York and Philadelphia are still
at logger heads about the Peace Jubilee,
ton carried off her breeches full of glory at hav
ing originated that grand performance, and the
other cities are swollen with envy nigh to the
point of collapse. Boston says the Peace Jubi
lee was a type of the age. The New York Trib
une concedes it to have been an “embodiment of
the spirit of tho age.
There is a great deal of truth in this idea.
The spirit of the age, as illustrated by its pre
dominant people, longs for nothing but the
hugest physical and national display. It pants
for hugeness and force; and even in what is
called music, nothing so much delight* the pop
ular taste as power.
Tne big drum and the accompaniment of
hundred sledge hammers on so many anvils
struck heavy blows on the sympathetic chords
of the nation's great heart-—(see Greeley)—and
was, as Mr. Mantilini justly observes, “demur
tion fine.” Eight thousand men and women
open-monthed, screaming for dear life—the
big organ howling under the propulsive power
of a forty-horse steam engine. The big drum,
and a hundred littlo drama, and one thousand
musicians blowing till their eyes popped, end
their cheeks were in danger of rapture—the
hundred red-ahirtod blacksmiths, with a thou
sand pounds of sledge hammers, and their hun
dred anvils—the forty cannon outside all pop
ping off simultaneously by lightning—and all to
gether blowing and striking and pounding and
thumping and exploding—whilo the twenty
thousand auditors, so-called, were screaming
simultaneously, in an ecstasy of admiration and
constituted, in onr judgment, one

On the 3d insk we had the pleasure of in
specting a field of cotton of abont 150 acres be
longing to our townsman Mr. J. N. Seymour,
who plants about three miles from the city, on
the Houston road. He has experimented with
the best of guanoes, including Ayers A Gnstin's,
Soluble Pacifio and Dickson's formula. AU have
had a fino inflnenco so far. He also has planted
largely of Peeler, Dickson, Brazili&n and ordi
nary cotton. Some of the varieties .present a
fine appearance. One patch of Peeler is fully
waist high, and all is well formed and promises
well. He has about 350 acres more which wo
did not see. On that day, he had suspended
work for tho colored laborers and families to en
joy a dinner and gala day generally. They ap
peared to be a contented and happy aet. We
hope our friend will realize his most sanguine
expectations.
of the most forcible illustrations of the spirit of
the sge*which has been seen in that quarter
since they hanged the witches and stopped beer
from working on Sunday.
Neither New York nor Philadelphia intend to
be oat done as exponents of tho taste and tem
per of tho age. Both are seriously inclining
themselves to the matter of outdoing Boston in
this particular, and wo may therefore prepare
ourselves for other displays of musical dynam
ics in which all known mechanical and natural
agencies will be employed in creating sound,
and earthquakes, thunderstorms, tornadoes and
cataracts outdone. Tho contest will be inter-
PRESENTMENTS
GRAND JURY OF BIBB COUNTY,
FOB THE MAY TERM, 1869.
|The Grand Jury, for the present Term, make
the following presentments, to which they re
spectfully call the attention of the Court and
citizens of the county: , *'- j c. - , , I
We find the roads and bridges in good order;
with some exceptions. The bridges needing re
pairs are now under contract, and will be speed-
fcWafu f j is
We find the hospital buildings in good order
and neatly kept, and the patients famished with*
proper and wholesome food, at a cost per day
of twenty-one cents per patient, including medi
cal attention. We recommend that the garden
er, now employed at a considerable salary, be
dispensed with, and the Stewart be required to
have the work done by such of the inmates as
are able to do this labor. We also recommend
that a Poor House be established in conjunction
with the Hospital, and that the city relinquish
all its rights in the property to the county, but
aid the county officers in arresting all beggars
and sending them, and proper subjects for the
Hospital, oat for detention and treatment
We find the books of the Clerk of the Superior
Court neatly and correctly kept, but think that
some additional books should be kept in the Or
dinary’s office; and that, after examination, the
Touchers should be cancelled; all of which the
Ordinary promises to attend to in future.
On examination of the bonds of the county
officers we find that the Tax Collector has given
a bond to the Governor of $25,000 bnt none to
the county; and as more than $50,000 have
passed through his hands daring the year, be
longing to the county, we consider the bond in
sufficient and recommend it to be increased.
We find that the County Treasurers bond is
but $15,000, with insufficient security, and re
commend that it be strengthened. As some
970,000 of county funds passed through his
hands daring the past year, we deem in impor
tant that the county should be secured it some
legal manner, and therefore recommend this
Court to take such legal steps as the protection
of the county requires.
The Ordinary has riven a bond of $2,000 to
tho Governor, bnt no bond to the county, and we
respectfully recommend the Court to take such
steps in this matter as wiU secure the public in-
The Teugeaaee of Heaven.
The Knoxville Press *n«t Herald of the 4th
lust., Bays that of the knot of Radical Ku Klux
engaged, some fifteen months ago, in crnelly
whipping parson Neal, a Southern Methodist
preacher, while traveling in pursuit of his caH-
, three have since died, one was lately thrown
from his horse and killed, a fifth is in jail for
crime, a sixth was struck by lightning, and. in
the same storm the tree to which Neal was tied
while they were whipping him was rent in twain
by a thunderbolt. Says the Press and Herald:
Even the tree to which Mr. Neal was tied by
his persecutors, has been since smitten by the
same unseen, but ever watchful power, and is
now dead.
Abont two weeks since, daring a storm of
thunder and lightning, the house of WUBasa
Goddard, about seven miles from Maryville,
was struck by lightning. Mr. Goddard’s son,
who is under indictment for being concerned in
the whipping, was stricken down, and for some
time was believed to be dead. After a time he
partially recovered, and is now able to be abont.
A hired lad of the family was killed by the same
flash. The strangest part of the' story is that
daring the same storm, the tree to which Mr.
Smith had been tied was struck by the lightning,
rent in twain down its massive trunk,' and the
tree is now dead. - *

Tuesdat, July 6,1860.—E. J. Hiker, Esq., of
Calhoun, was admitted as a member of the Su
preme Court bar.
Judgments of affirmance were announced in
the following cases: A W. Green, plaintiff, in
error, vs. The Southern Express Company, de
fendant in error; Moses P. Green, plaintiff in
error, vs. John Anderson, defendant in er
ror; Alexander MeCnllars, plaintiff in error,
vs. Frances R. Haines, defendant in error;
Sallie E. Brace, administratrix of Eli M. Brace,
plaintiff in error, vs. Joseph Crews, defendant
u error; and Sharp & Brown, plaintiffs in
tor, vs. E. B. Lovless, defendant in error.
Judgment of the court below in the case of
T. M. ilcHan, plaintiff in error,vs, W. H. Stan-

ground that the court erred in holding the de
fendant in
Wo would also recommend that the Sheriff's
bond be strengthened.
We find that the various Railroad Compa-
pauies, whose roads terminate in Macon, have
paid no county taxes for a number of yean
past, and that the Ordinary has deposited, on
open account, and without interest, in a Bank
ing House in this city, $20,000 of Court-house
funds and $12,000 of Jail funds; and as anoth
er Banking House of the city offered to take
this money on call loan, at 7 per cent per an
num, with good and sufficient security, we
passed the two resolutions which follow:
“Resolved, That the Ordinary of Bibb Coun
ty is requested, in conjunction with the Court
house Commissioners, to loan out, on a call
loan, the funds in hand, and hereafter collected,
for tho bnilding of a Court-bouso and Jail, on
good collaterals, until needed.’’
“Resolved, That we, the Grand Jury of Bibb
County, instruct the Ordinary to issue an order
requiring the Receiver of Tax Returns to call
on the various Railroad Companies, and require
them to make a return of their county taxes on
real estate, from the close of 1868.”
We append herewith the Ordinary’s reply to
our communication, conveying to him these
resolutions :
the trial below to be an intruder. It
being the opinion of this court that the obligor,
in a bond for titles, after the obligee is in de
fault in payment of the purchase money, may,
if the premises be in fact vacant, enter, and
having done so he is not an intrader.
This court also reversed the judgment of the
court below in the case of W. H. Boyd,plaintiff in
error, vs. S. B. Sales, defendant in error, on
the ground that the court below erred in order
ing the payment and satisfaction entered by the
Sheriff on the ft. fa and judgment to be vacated
and Mt asido.

The Monroo Advertiser of the 7th instant,
prints tho following: .
The crops continue to promise well. Indeed,
wo are told on every hand that tho pros
pects for a large crop in this county are better
than for a number of years before; and it ia
quite likely that there has never been a period
in the history of this county when the seasons
haTe been so generally propitious as for the past
six months. A general satisfaction is manifest
in the face of our farmers, and they are working
with a will. A great many have laid by their
corn, and consider it as good as made. Cotton
is healthy and vigorous, and, unless some un
foreseen disaster cuts it short, will yield a large

that he thanked God who had mado the colored
people free after two hundred and fifty years of
bondage, and had placed them in triumph over
the white men; that the “colored people now had

That beats Chaplain Boynton and we hope
Boynton will send Brown his hat and hold his
peace for evermore.

Ten Months' Work,
To obtain from Congress a charter enabling
an association of financiers to transact business
in every State of tho Union; to organize a com
pany under such a charter; to open a main of
fice and install a staff of officers therein; to se
lect leading financiers and badness men as gen
eral agents for transacting the business of the
Company in the several sections of the country;
to have these general agents so carefully ex
amine their respective districts as to select the
most efficient and respected men as county
agents; to have these county agents, in torn,
make judicious seloctionof local agents in cities,
towns and villages; to prepare the multiplicity
of blanks, forms, order3,inatractions, pamphlets
and other documents with which to supply all
these agencies; to inform the public, through
the medium of the newspaper press, of the ex
istence of such an organization, the financial
basis upon which it rests, and the ground-work
of its claims to public approval and support—
theso things would seem to be sufficient to oc
cupy the first twelve months of such an organi
zation, leaving to subsequent years the accom
plishment of actual results. But wo find a no
table exception to such a course in the case of
the National Life Insurance Company of Amer
ica, chartered by Congress in July, 1868, and
consequently not yet ono year old. It ha3 had
all of tho above mentioned work to do, and it is
bnt rational that, in doing ibis, it should have
met with the opposition of old established insu
rance companies. But the New Company has
done far more. Indeed, its successful record,
for the first ten months of its operation, has
been most remarkable,- and utterly unprecedent
ed. It h&3 already issued no less than 5,395
policies, representing insurance to the amount
of over fifteen millions, an amount exceeding by
nearly $5,000,000 that insured by any Company
prior to 1863, in any full year of its existence,
and nearly double that ever insured by any
other company in the world, during its entire
first year. After such authenticated statement,

“T. A. Burke, Esq., Foreman Grand Jury:
“Deab Sir.: I am informed of the action of
the Grand Jiiry of this county, embraced in two
re notations of ttykt body, and have, in view of
their unanimous adoption, given them full
weight and consideration. In regard to the first
resolution. That the Ordinary of Bibb county,
in conjunction with tho Commissioners, is re
quested to loan out, on call loan, nntil needed,
the funds in hand and hereafter collected, for
tho building of a Court-house and Jail,' I have
respectfully to say that the law makes no pro
vision for such disposition of the funds
of the county, and the resolution of the
Grand Jury would be no authority for such act
on my part. Tho law places in my hands cx-
officio the duty of guarding the public funds.
I feel amply able to do so. Looking to the
safety of the funds, the right to loan public
monies has never been exercised without incur
ring risk, and one Grand Jury may have the
right to differ from another on this subject,
called on as they are from the people, and going
back as soon as their few weeks’ public, though
important labor is over, others taking their
place. I could not change the law governing
my action, without incurring unnecessary risk.
The funds of the county are safely deposited, in
a few weeks or months they may be cheeked
out, and I prefer strict obedience to the law,
especially as the resolution embodies that I
shall act “in conjunction with the Commission
ers.” The law organizing such Commissioners
gives them no control over the funds, nor can I,
as a public officer, do more than tho law. If I
should be called upon to loan at all, it would
bo of my own aet and volition as to the parties
and amounts, as an elective officer under the
Constitution, charged with this duty, I could not
take any man’s judgment, as I Mono am re
sponsible.
“As to the second resolution, I am not aware
of any law authorizing me to pass an order of
Court under instruction of tho Grand Jury.—
But will say, in response to the sentiment of
such resolution, that it shall be my zealous en
deavor to make all property subject to tax pay
tax, and will go as far as I can go to carry out
legally what in my judgment will conduce best
to public interests and contribute to the
county treasury. “Yours respectfully,
“C. T. Weed, Ordinary.”

We subsequently received from the Ordinary
tho written legal opinion of Samuel Hunter,
Esq., Attorney at Law, in regard to the liability
of the Railroad Companies for county taxes, and
cision.
On examining into tho financial condition of
tho county, we find that the Ordinary has re
ceived, from all sources, $67,621 50. The ex
penditures by the Ordinary, since he went into
the office, have been $35,243 85, as follows:
Poor Schools.... $8,538 23

Ordinary's Commissions 651 35
Showing a cash balance in the hands of the
Ordinary of $32,377 74, which will be increased
by the collection of upwards of $4,000, unpaid
taxes. Of this cash balance, $20,000 belongs
to the Court House funds, and $15,000 to the
Jail funds, leaving onlj about $1,350 to meet
current county expenses, until the collection of
the taxes levied for the present year.
We recommend that the Ordinary levy such a
tax as will raise the sums of: $7,500 for educa
tional purposes; $10,000 for completion of jail;
$17,000 fog HtiMOllanmw pniposea; $4,300 far
outstanding bonds of the county, and interest.
We thought it proper to communicate the fol
lowing resdution, which was passed unanimous-
lv. to the Ordinary :
“Resolved, That we earnestly recommend
the Ordinary of Bibb county not to issue the
thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) in bonds, for
the drainage of the swamp (city reserve,) until
after the adjournment of the next Legislature.”
We also passed, at the request of the Ordinary,
the following resolution:
“Resolved, That the Ordinary of this county be
requested to organize a chain-gang, and to ad
vise his Honor, Judge C. B. Cole, thereof.”
Having brought onr labors to a close, we beg
to return our special thanks to his Honor, Judge
Cole, and Solicitor General Crocker, for the
courtesies extended to us; and request that
these proceedings be published in the daily pa
pers of Macon.
