Don't Want to Vote.
Forney mentions, ns in favor of the Chinamen,
that they “havo no propensity for politics, and
dun t want to vote." Of no race of people
ronld tliis be said more strongly and truly than
of the Sonthem negroes beforo the Radicals
began to manipulate them. Not one in a thou
sand had n thought about politics or cared to
vote. But with the aid of the Radical partizans,
lay and clerical, they were made hot politicians
in sixty days or less, althongh the most of them
had no more definite idea of politics than an
ourang outang, and were terribly puzzled to
know whether the “constitushum wor a white
man or nigger." It was “stan’ up for de raoe 1"
and will any man of sense pretend to doubt
that the Chinese will “stan’ up for de race,”
too, or that they will find hundreds of thou
sands of white partizans to help them to “stan
up for do race" in their own interests?
Let no man delnde himself with the idea that
the Chinamen who will swarm this country by
millions will not bo a hngo political power in
the land. And it can’t be helped. Tbo fatal
concession was mode when the Radicals, in or
der to jnstify their horrid treason to American
traditions and tho white race, in arming the
blacks with the ballot and introducing them into
polities, proclaimed tho heresy of “manhood
suffrage." Tho concession of tho ballot to tho
blAcks necessitates its concession to tho Chinese.
Had nil but tho white races been excluded nono
of tho others would havo complained or felt
aggrieved.
The Ilnlhert Press Expedition.
We have received a good many inquiries in
relation to this oxpedition; bnt inasmuch as
we never interchanged a word with Col. Hal
bert on that or any other subject, and all the
details of tho expedition rest with him, we aro
in no condition to impart information. We have
assumed, however, that the circular of invitation
s to be strictly construed, and is limited to one
representative from each newspaper in Georgia.
Now, as there are some sixty-threo or four
papers iu the State, and wo havo no doubt most
all of them will be represented—-that alone will
make a goodly company. Then wo know that
Rome partios skilled in metallurgy havo been in
vited, and presumo that largo numbers of scien
tific and practical men, likely to add interest to
the investigation, will bo of tho party.
■When, therefore, wo considor the long train
nocessary to afford all kinds of accommodation
toHuch n numerous party, and the difficulties of
tho commissariat and sleeping accommodations
- for such a throng, wo think good sonso will
recognize it ns a case for strict construction.
To New Subscribers to the Weekly.
Tho accessions to onr weekly subscription
list, between tho printing of tho ontsido and in
side of this edition, havo been moro numerous
than wo mndo allowance for, and therefore wo
shall bo nnablo to send tho present number of
the Wr.EKT.T Tzleorapii to overy one of tho now
subscribers. Wo will, howover, send them the
Semi-Wockly until wo print tho next edition of
the Weekly. Ono county since onr last edition
of tho Weekly,sent us sixty-five now subscribers.
Cun Mucou Save her Trade?
Or any portion of it—or is sho gone np hope
lessly ? That is tho question of tho day with
this town. It is tho opinion of our best lawyers
that her remedies aro ample. Is sho to surren
der without n struggle ? See communication.
Nkwrtai-f.h Representatives.—Wo had a call
on Thursday from Col. IL H. Jones, tho editor
of that sterling paper—tho Cnthbert Appeal—
and ono of tho most safo and judicious political
counsellors in Georgia.
Mr. R. L. Gentry, representing tho Savannah
Morning News, called on us yesterday, on his
way to tho Sonthwcst. Tho News is a flrst-
rato pnpor—particular when onr friend Col.
Thompson don’t get after tho Macon Tet.e-
mupn.
Col. Styles, of tho Albany Nows, has also been
in tho city during tho week.
Ohio.—Tho Democracy of this State havo
maintained their repntationfor wisdom by nom
inating another live man for Governor— Hon.
Geo. II. Fendlcton, who tnkes the placo of Gen"
Rosccrans, declined. If the Radicals can beat
Fendlcton tho Northorn Democracy may as well
disband at once. Bat he will carry the State by
twenty thousand majority.
We are glad to see from the foregoing that
our gallant friend of tho Republican has come
back to ns alive and well. “O, where did ho
come from?” etc. The Republican is sound on
Ohio if ho docs halt on Pennsylvania—that’s a
comfort.
Macon" ant> Bnr.vswios IUilbojUX—Wo are
requested to say that this company was not a
party to tho suit against the EufanlAnnd Bruns
wick Railroad noticed yesterday.
TnE weather is now warm and dry. The
atmosphere is getting fallisli -a little chilly in
tho shade and moro so in tho mornings - while
tho sunshino is foverish. We hear little from
tho planters, and presume they aro all specially
bnsy getting ready to pick cotton. Many of
thorn will begin next week.
An ENTEitrr.istxo Colored Teacher.—Enoch
Parker, a colored school teacher of Bibb coun
ty, organized a Sunday School at Stone Creek
Church, twelves miles from town, in Twiggs
county, tho fourth Sunday in July last, with
fourteen pupils, nnd tho second Sunday in Au
gust the school numbered 14 s pupils. Ho has
now three Sunday Schools in chargo and a
largo day school.
Mr. Stephens.—The SouthernRecorderleams
from a gentleman of Milledgeville, who soent a
day recently with Hon. A. H. Stephens, that
Mr. S. ’s general health is very good, and that he
is slowly bnt certainly recovering from the ac
cident which has for months deprived him of
locomotion and caused him so touch suffering.
With tho assistance of crutcheB he moves fre
quently through the passages of his airy house.
Notwithstanding his situation, his indomitable
mind is occupied in the preparation of the sec
ond volumo of his great work, “The History of
the War between the States,” which in a few
months will be given to the press.
Manager Ford, of the Holiday Street Thea
ter, Baltimore, will visit Savannah, Macon, and
Augusta, also other Sonthem cities, the coming

The Chapman sisters will also como South.
Blance, with her rich soprano voice, and Ella,
charming by her life and vivacity, are now in
Buffalo.
To illustrate tho precision of astronomical
scienoe, it may be stated that another eclipse of
the sun will take place in eighteen years, 11
days, 7 hours, 43 minutes and 3.G4S seconds—
that is, on the 19th of August, 1887! It will be
visible only in the Eastern Hemisphere. The
next solar eclipse visible in tho United States
occurs on the 28th of May, 1000.
The Ingratitude ot Sambo.
A Northern lad, in Southwestern Georgia,
engaged under the awpices of a Northern socie
ty in instmetteg the fiegsaes of that section,
writes a letter to Mr. Swayze, of the Macon
American Union, condoling with him upon the
fact that the negroes all turned against him in
the late Turner trial and swore they would not
believe him on oath—thus, on the first occasion,
abandoning their whito champion and requiting
his services and snfferings in their behalf with
deadly injury.
Tell it not in Gath, that this Northern teacher
pronounces this conduct upon tho part of tho
negroes as not exceptional, but characteristic of
the whole race, according to the universal expe
rience and testimony of tho army of Northern
teachers who have been employed since the war
in educating the negroes. As this is a strong
bill of indictment from a strange source, we
copy so much of the letter as makes the charge :
But the object of this letter is to direct public
opinion to a fact patent to all teachers among
the colored people, and which has publicly and
glaringly manifested itself in this Tamer mat
ter; and that is their ingratitude. This, of
course, is more or less attributable to their for
mer condition; but still, a bratt^often exhibits
tho strongest feelings of gratitude to those of
the human family who Treat them kindly or
shield them from harm.
My experience proges * mo that the more
one does for them the more they expect to be
done, and I have long been convinced of this
disposition among them. Here is one instance
among many I could cite, but I repeat it be
cause it happened to myself: When I first came
South to teach, I was sent by a Northern Soci
ety, with tho understanding that my salary
would l>e paid by the society, but my board
would be paid by tho patrons who sent their
children to school. My board was paid tho
first month promptly, showing their ability to
do it, but afterwards it fell behind, until at last
I was compelled to pay my own board to pre
vent my landlady from turning me out of doors.
When I remonstrated with them for their negli
gence, and their failure to comply with their
agreement, they said they reckoned I could get
the money from tho Society at tho North if I
would only ask for it. And this is only one of
several instances of a similar character of which
I know. They aro profuse in words, and like
their old masters, make any amount of fino
promises, but ncveT think of fulfilling them.
Wo submit to tho fair witness that she is
hardly competent to involvo the Southern whites
in a similar chargs of faithlessness nnd ingrati
tude. It has beon tho misfortune of tho North
ern teachers that, operating among tho blacks
in a spirit of antagonism and hostility to the
whites, they havo not mingled with the latter
and know nothing of them; or their knowledge
is confined to exceptional and non-representa
tive cases. If among theso this fair correspon
dent has found any slippery fellow “profnso in
words and fino promises,” we’ll bo bound he is
no recognized knight among tho Southern chiv
alry.
Bnt mingling freely and socially among tho
blacks, she and her compatriots are good wit
nesses, os to tho fact upon which thoy testify,
although thoy may bo nnablo to como to a phil
osophical explanation of it. Thoy have assnmed
that tho negro is tho intellectual peer of the
whito man nnd judge him by tho same rules.
With a much longer and more thorough acquaint
ance with tho negro, tho Southern white docs
not look for tho samo moral and intellectual se
quences. Thoy know that feeble intellects aro
incapable of tho same development of tho moral
sentiments ns they expect from stronger ones.
Nor is the appreciation of services andobligalions
tho samo. Tho Sonthem pcoplo havo found
gratitude in tho blacks; and numerous and touch
ing nre tho instances in which it bos been dis
played ; bnt it was in harmony with tho intcl
loclnal condition of tho race, and tho result of
services which it coaid clearly appreciate.
Wo aro glad that experienco and observation
are bringing tho Northern people to a jnslor ap
preciation of the Nogro, and think it worth whilo
to put on record this testimony of ono of their
teachers, bearing tho weight of tho universal
recognition of alL
No Corn In Egypt.
Lost it may have escaped tho observation of
tbo reader, we beg to call attention to tho fol
lowing extract from a letter from Indiana, 7th
instant, to tho editors, pnblished in tbo Tei.e-
gkai-h of yesterday:—
Tho wheat crop throughout Indiana, Illinois
and Iowa is far ahead of anything of tho kind
ever before known. Indeed it is unparalleled.
I speak knowingly. Bnt tho com! Whnt shall
I say of that ? It is a sad story for tbo Georgia
planters who depend upon these States for a
supply. Rains, continual rains havo rained it.
Between here and Chicago, to nso tbo expression
of an old farmer, “you couldn’t gather enough
com to feed fifty head of hogs.” From this
point southward, a distance of ono hundred and
sixty miles, to the Ohio River, the crop is bet
tor, but will not yield moro than ono-half of
what was expected.
That corroborates what wo havo repeatedly
stated of tho Western com crop. Bnt tho truth
is, Georgia usually gets tho larger proportion of
her imported com crop from tho Valley of the
Tonnessco nnd tributaries, and here, wo aro
sorry to say, the case is still worse. James A.
Nisbet, Esqr., tells ns that from about eight
miles eastward of the intersection of tho Ala
bama, Georgia, and Tennessee lines, all through
tho East Tennessee Volley and np to tho Poto
mac, tho com crop is an utter failure. In most
of the country they havo not got back their
soed. They havo had no rain for nino weeks,
and tho standing com in tho fields was fre
qnently so parched and lifeless that it would
bum like dry shavings. Through tho whole of
that fertilo section, the graincry of cotton
growing Georgia, so far from being able to ex
port com, thoy would not havo near enough for
their own stock.
Mr. Nisbet earnestly advises such of tho
Georgia planters as will l>o compelled to bny
com tho ensuing year, to mako their arrange
ments as early os possible and bny a supply be
fore grain rises to a price which it is certainly
destined to reach in view of these existing crop
failures.
We devoutly hope that a large part of our
planting interest will bo able to get through the
next year on their own resources—particularly,
if forewarned, they set about at once availing
themselves of overy domestic resonree to eke
out their supplies. Lot them gnthcr all the
forage possible—seed down ryo pastures—plant
for early oats—and use every expedient their
ingenuity will suggest to increase their supplies
of food for stock.
Cause of Bast.
The Augnsta Chronicle and Sentinel calls at
tention to the following from tho Sandersville
Central Georgian, and asks for the result of
planters observation and experience :
“The rust is in almost every field, especially
where fertilizers have been used liberally. I
have noticed several fields of cotton which have
been manured with the “Soluble Pacifio Guano,”
entirely mined by rnst, or it resembles rust
This is where 250 to 300 lbs were used. Where
less quantity was applied, the injury is less. Up
to 20th July, the “Soluble Pacific” was believed
to be the best commercial fertilizer in use in
this community, but wherever it has been liber
ally applied the rust is very destructive—moro
so than with other fertilizers.”
We sb»ll be very slow to believe that fertili
zers, unless injudiciously used or in very unpro-
picious seasons, can be conducive to rust or any
other disease." Any thiDg that stimulates the
growth and adds to the vigor of plants will the
better enable them to combat or escape disease.
Nevertheless, it is an excellent time now for
planters in their clubs and the newspapers to
tell their experience about rust, and how it may
be cured or avoided. Let us hear from them.

GEORGIA.
In nono of tho States Sonth has the opposition
to reconstruction been so steady and unscrupu
lous as in Georgia. Tho Democratic party there
is more proscriptive than it is in Kentucky or
Maryland, and tho animosities kept alivo by. tho
newspapers and tho politicians extend, as wo
havo lately seen, to forcible resistance to the
rovonuo officers. The expulsion of the colored
membors of the Legislature, after they had par
ticipated in tho formation of tho new govern
ment, was an act of supreme madness, and was
universally denounced by the Republicans of
tho country. It was a bold and undisguised rev
olution, and was followed by many tragical con
sequences. All tho outrages and murders of
tho last year are directly traceahlo to the pas
sions aroused and encouraged by that act of in
sanity. The courts of Georgia having decided
that it was illegal, an opportunity is now pre
sented to the authors of this wrong to set them
selves partially right by restoring the expelled
members to their seats and by ratifying tho fif
teenth amendment. YYe are glad to see that
Dr. Bard’s Atlanta New Era urges this course
upon tha Democrats. Should they reject this
sensible advice Congress will take such measures
as will lead to something like government and
peace in tho State.—Press of the 101A.
Wo havo simply to deny that there has over
been, from first to last, any factious opposition
to reconstruction which conld bo fairly attrib
uted to Georgia, as a political community. Wo
have to say that tho expulsion of tho colored
members was in perfect harmony with tho com
mon and almost universal understanding among
all parties hero, of tho requirements of tho
Constitution; and that a Republican Supreme
Court was divided upon tho legality of tho pro
ceeding. Tho chnrge that any outrage followed,
as a consequence of that act, is simply absurd;
and the whole brood of murders and outrages
havo been far moro tho handiwork of Radical
partizans than of tho people.

As astounding as it may seem, Brigham

Macon seems to be asleep, while other cities
in the State are alive to their interests and
prosperity. When will our Council act? Hie
citizens anxiously wait to know.
Tho late purchase of the Southwestern, Iby
the Central Company, must injure tire growth
and business of Macon, more than any event
that has happened in the last twenty-five years.
This purchase, it is believed, is illegal and will
not stand the test of the courts. Why do not the
city authorities resort to the courts, as otiler
corporations have done to protect the rights of
the people of Macon?
The last rumor, believed to be true, is that
the Central Road has bought the control of the
Macon and Western Road. If this be true, where
is the business of Macon to eome from?—
Will the city authorities inform the people what
they intend to do ? There is no time to lose.

Affairs in Dalton.—The Citizen of the 12th
scys the com crop will fall short, owing to early
drought, but late com is flourishing. Potatoes

We learn that last week a white man and ne
gro were engaged together raking hay, a few
miles north of the city; the negro provoked
the former to anger, and received for his impu

A few dried peaches havo como in. We quote
