A Threatened ('ramp In (h«* Money
Market.
On Tnesday night we saw a dispatch to one
of onr Macon bankers, from New Y’ork, telling
him that Lis correspondent, ono of the leading
banka of that city, conld send no more amall
bills, as they were scarce and selling at a premi
um of ono to two per cent. His correspondent,
therefore, conld do no better than send bills of
the denomination of one thousanddollars, which
of conrse would be of little or no service in
moving tho cotton crop. We are informed that
all the hankers in Macon got abont the same ad
vices, so that there's likely to be a sharp pinch in
the money market. This we have been told is
due to the active demand for moneyin the West
in order to move tho crops of that section; bnt
unfortunately the crops of tho West will not be
in moving condition for some weeks yet We
think there is quite a different cat in the bag,
nnd this dreadfnl scarcity of “currency" is very
likely ono of the tricks of the bears to cramp the
cotton market and bringdown prices. The man
ufacture of “scarcity” both in gold and cnrrency
has now got to bo as regular a business in Wall
street as stewing oysters, and it can be done
jnst as well to order and at short notice. The
way to meet that scarcity is to hold the cotton,
or ship on foreign account. Sterling bills will
do just as well as treasury notes, and it is per
haps ungenerous to take the small change away
from onr Western brethren when they want to
move their orops in September. It is a thing so
unusual with them to ship their corn and pork
crops in September that perhaps it ought to be
encouraged.
The Henrietta Greer Case.
If “Bibb" means to say the case of Henrietta
Greer stood before the Governor upon a record
setting forth tho facts <u he narrate* them, then
there is no man in Georgia who would find fault
with the commutation of tho sentence. But our
editorial ears are a heap better in making up
.our editorial judgment than his record. The
actual facts of tho case we believe to be precise
ly .as wo narrated them. One of our number
heard the evidence—took it down word for word
and printed it—has talkod with the prisoner—
with tho witneses, officers and counsel. We
know whoreof we speak and are sure that upon
the evidonoe in the case as heard by ns no de
fence could bo set up to divest the crime of all
tho attributes of murder. And ns for the parties,
wo repeat one was a little girl of fourteen and
tho other a stoat heavy set negro girl of eigh
teen. If the Governor had other facts and evi
dence before him than that which wo heard on
4 tho trial—that is another matter. We speak
only of what we heard and what we know.
IT. S. Courts In Gcorgin.
The August term of the U. S. District Court
for tho Southern District of Georgia was ad
journed to the second Monday of October.
The April term of the U. S. Circuit Court for
said District was adjourned over to the thir
Monday of OctobeT.
Tho regular November term of the U. S. Cir
cuit Court, Thursday after the first Monday of
November (Nov. 4th.)
The regular November term of the U. S. Dis
trict Court sits the second Tuesday of October.
Virginia.
The Virginia papers seem to be troubled
About tho situation and complain that Boulwell,
Butler nnd Wilson aro plotting to keep the old
Dominion out of the Union in the cold. It
seems that Genoral Robert Williams, second
officer in tho Adjutant General's office in Wash
ington, has beon designated as one of the Sena
tors to bo olected to Congress under the bargain
with the administration.
Charleston.—The Charleston News is jubi
lant ovor tho busy condition and prospect* of
that city and glorifies tho situation in two col
umns. Wo hope it may tako a dozen shortly to
do tho subject full justico.
. Tho same paper says tho Savannah river is al
ways dry or nearly so in the season of freight
age. We assure tho Nows that we never saw
the Savannah river in that condition.
The Cotton Tax. — A Washington dispatch
says : There is not a word of truth in a report
sent hence that among tho modifications of tho
internal revenue laws to be snmmitted to Con
gress will bo a tax of ono per cent per pound on
cotton. It is said in support of this that snch a
tax would yieldfnlly $15,000,000 a yoarand this
would justify the repeal of that portion of the
law imposing special taxes. Congress having
tried the cotton tax, nnd found it to work badly,
almost unanimously re-realed it.
Negro Mortality.—Tho Charleston Courier
says tho mortality of the negro population in
that city, since the close of the war, as com'
pared with that of the whites, has been more
than two to one, and ascribes it to idleness,
unthrift nnd tho demoralization produced by
political agitators. He calls upon the negroes
to amend their doings.
Incendiarism in Augusta.—They seem to be
much troubled with it. The Constitutionalist
notes a deliberate attempt to fire the Concert
Hall, on Sunday morning, which was fortunately
discovered in time to extinguish the combusti
bles with a bucket of water.
Still no promise of rain. Weather •warm.

Prof. Lane publishes the following in the
Milledgeville Federal Union:
-1 ftssrs. Editors: Allow me to express through
tho columns of the Union my grateful apprecia
tion of a present this day received A fine
horse, handsomely saddled and bridled, stands
at my door—a present from friends, chiefly
young men of our community. This gift, so
intrinsically valuable and useful to me as a
minister, has a ten-fold value as an expression
of the kind and considerate feeling towards me,
on the part of those who made it. Mav the
‘ ‘larger blessing be bestowed on the generous
donors.
Judge Lochrane.—This polished gentleman
and able lawyer has returned from Washington
city, in fine health and spirits. We are glad to
have it in our power to state that the Judge de
clares openly and unequivocally for President
Grant, and will give his nble and patriotic ad
ministration an unqualified support- This is an
example which we hope every intelligent, well
meaning gentleman in Georgia will follow.
[Atlanta New Era.
Aipertlon or Hotlve*.
If it is a sound and just maxim of the law,
that every man should be presumed innocent of
crime until he is proved to be guilty, it should [
certainly be held a jnst principle of editorial !
construction, that a man's motives are honor- j
able, patriotic and disinterested, until his con
duct or the facts prove them to be otherwise.—
It is neither fair, jnst, nor honorable, and it is
certainly in the highest degree discourteous, to
HGpngn, defame and asperse tho motives of
anybody for opinions or action which can bo ac
counted for consistently with perfect integrity of
purpose and devotion to truth r.nd the public
welfare. Fair and honest construction is jnst
as much due everybody as any material proper
ty in the possession of which he is protected by
law. Indeed, the great poet says:
“Who steals my parse, steals trash;
Bnt he who filches from mo mv good name,
Bobs me of that which not enriches him.
And makes me poor indeed."
The vilest and most loathsome slander and
defamation of all, to an upright man, is not so
much that which falsely charges him with speci
fic acts of mslcondact, for such charges are'easi
ly met and refuted. Bat it is that persistent
misiepresention of motives—of the springs of
all action—which attributes his acts and opin
ions always to something mean and degrading.
That misrepresentation which crawls on its bel
ly, like tho serpent, sliming a man's tracks with
the eructations of its own filthiness and depravi
ty—and perverting and misconstruing the whole
intent and spirit of the man. That kind of slan
der and libel is more poisonous and deadly, be
cause more intangible and remediless. Base,
selflab, unpatriotic motiees, are not one whit less
disgraceful than base actions. Indeed, they are
far moro degrading—because an unworthy deed
may be but an episode in a man's life—while
despicable motives are ingrained in his being
and are part of the man himself.
It seems tons the too common practice of as
cribing unworthy motives, as the ready solution
of differences in jndgment and opinion upon the
commonest facts of trade, business or politics,
might be omitted with groat advantage. It is
better and far more polite to proceed on the
reasonable assumption that one la actuated by
honorable convictions and purposes, where that
assumption is clearly reconcilable with reason.
Men will differ in opinion, and it would be hor
rid if every difference is to be ascribed to evil
intentions. We see one of onr brethren heavily
assailed as to his motives timply foT believing
one cotton mart in Georgia better than anoth
er 1 It is time to quit each stuff. He is not
entitled to an opinion or anything else, who is
not willing to conoede the right to another.
From Brnnsnick.
I The Appeal of the 18th, has a letter from
a travelling correspondent who took a trip to
see the new Railroad bridge across the Ocmnl-
gee at Lumber City. This is fast advancing to
completion and will be finished, excepting the
draw, by the middle of October. Nearly a mile
of tho trestle work is also completed. The train
from Macon was expected to rnn through to the
river on the 23d of the present month. The
road on tho other aide of the river to the up
ward track-laying, some thirty-five miles,
wonid then be ready for the iron excepting a
fow inconsiderable gape, one of which is the
“Devil's Wood-yard," in which two hundred
hands are cutting and clearing, out a high way
and a safe passage will be made even through
this dismsl abode, so long the home of hissing
serpents, hooting owls, and the wild boar and
stag.
At the junction oMho Macon and Brunswick
and Atlanta and Gnlf Roads, a new town was
springing np, which already boasts of its hotel,
a railroad eating house, a saw mill and five
atone.
We clip the following from the Appeal upon
the subject of the near prospective union of
Macon and Brunswick.—Within two months
these cities will be connected by nil; and at
tho present, it would be difficult to forecast
which of the two will, in the long rnn, be most
benefited by the connection. Of course, the
benefit to Brunswick will be more apparent
at first, becanse sho is only now an “embryo
city," while Macon is already a comparatively
largo and well established commercial city.—
Bat the opening np to Macon by means of a di
rect Railway, of tho great Georgia Seaport, will
constitnte an era in her growing prosperity, and
will enhance her business and the value of ev
ery species of property within her corporate
limits.
Wo are not at all surprised at the deep and
spirited interest manifested by her citizens, in
the early completion of the Macon and Bruns
wick Railroad.
Tho same paper announces that the city of
Parian has been surveyed, laid off and mapped
by James M. Cooper, and describes its advan
tages at length. If it is a good town why not
give it a good name? “Parian,” will kill it, as
dead as a herring. Call it “Parley Yous,” if yon
can do no better.
The Appeal announces the arrival of the first
cargo of iron for the Brunswick and Albany
Road and says track-laying has commenced.—
Considerable bnilding was going on in Bruns
wick and some movements in real estate were
noticed. We have examined the Appeal for the
paragraph which stated that the Mayor of
Brunswick wonid send ns np a few barrels of
oysters by the first through train, bnt don't
find it. How’s that ?
The Age of Dirt.
If we are to credit the statements of a new
weekly journal in London, called Latest News,
England is really in a bad way. Tho opening
article in tho first number contains an extra
ordinary greeting, part of which is as follows :
“It is the age of dirty speech and of unclean
writing. Walk the streets of London by day or
night, and the oaths and obscenity will sicken
yon; while the donbtfal double entendre pro
vokes silvery laughter in many a drawing-room.
As to dirty writing no journal now, no work of
fiction, no drama pays, unless it contains allu
sions to sinful passions; unless it portrays the
pleasures of sense. Oar popular novels espe
cially, to their endless shame be it said,
those written by women are full of the de
tails of illicit passion, and eagerly devoured
by hosts of unsuspecting girls. The" drama has
for some time been merely a vehicle for the ex
hibition of the ankles of certain yonng ladies
who keep broughams on eighteen shillings a
week. The popular songs of the day all turn
upon such vices; in the stationers’ shops the
portraits of tho everlasting lorettes languish
side by side with venerable bishops and grave
statesmen ; go into society’s ballrooms, and the
style of dress ladies adopt approaches to the
simplicity of that worn by Eve in Paradise; tho
records of onr hospitals are full of the dire ef
fects of the vice of the day; everywhere we see
evidences of this miserable sensuality which is
eating into the heart of society—this is verily
the Age of Dirt.
And so, no doubt, talk the seniors of every
age—so talked our fathers and onr grandfathers
before us. The distant past takes a golden hue
in memory like sunset. Unquestionably, the
past fifty years of the 19th centnrv have been
years of extraordinary mental activity and ex
traordinary progress in science and the arts.
Almost every potential, material and intellectual
aid to human progress dates its birth in this
half century. Steam printing, navigation, rail
roads and the electric telegraph—the applica
tion of mechanical power and machinery to al
most every art and handicraft—all have origin-
ted within this time; so that a single mind, with
their aid, possesses a material and intelleclual
power equal, it may be, to that of fifty men of
j equal endowments fifty years ago.
It would be strange, indeed, if these gigantic
j changes in the intellectual, material and social
condition of the world had not been attended by
some remarkable changes in the moral condi-
' tion. It is quite possible that all the agencies
of good and evil have correspondingly quicken-
j ed in their activity and power, and sharpened
in their antagonisms. Vice and virtu* may
both be bolder in their mutual aggressions:
error and truth may both be more active and
moro potent. In the exultation of its acknowl
edged progress and power, the human mind
may have lost much of its reverence for au
thority and tradition and become skeptical and
presnmptnoas.
Bnt, after all, we donbt whether the world, as
a whole, is worse than it used to be; and, in
the particular claimed, we must discredit his
tory if it be not much better than it has been at
several periods in its history. In the time of
the Restoration, for example, the testimony of
II English historians, as well as that of contem
poraneous literature, shows ns that there was a
far greater laxity in the public morals than can
possibly bo claimed for the present day.
Hovr it Works or xihat it-Costs
The New York Express says the Government
is giving ns some facts in regard to the tariff,
bnt omitting others much more important to
consumers, and it supplies some of the omis
sions. For instance, in 1868 it exacted of the
people in gold. $190,000,000 on $396,000,000
of dutiable foreign goods. The consumers paid
all this and middlemen’s profits of not les3 than
50 per cent, or $95,000,000. The importer
charged the profit on the tariff that he did on
the first cost of goods; jobbers, importers,
wholesalers, retailers, each also exacted his
profit on the total cost of goods to him, and so
when those imported goods are paid for by the
customers, the tmv.::.:., stand thus :
Original cost of goods. '. .$366,000,000
Cost of shipping (15 per cent). 59,000,000
Duties on the goods. .'.... 190,000.000
8645.400,900
Profits of middlemen and transpor-
tation’eompanies (60 per cent.) 387,120,000
$1,034,320,000
Thus the first cost enhanced nearly three-fold
by tariff and profits. The import tax averages
50 per oent., and the middlemen's profits raise
it 75 per cent. _
From Washington ('onnly.
From the Sandersville Georgia of yesterday,
we dip the following;
Saturday.—No rain yet Earth parched and
dried. Pea crop an entire failure; potatoes
nearly so, and no turnips at all. In a few weeks
more cotton will be open, and picked oat The
estimate of a half crop is large.
A friend from Wrightsvillo Monday, informs
ns that many of the wells have gone dry, and
people are moving from the place in conae-
qnenoe of the scarcity of water.
Revivals.—The meeting at Sisters' church,
mentioned in onr last, dosed last Wednesday
night Thirteen professed conversion and were
added to the church. j^Tho meeting on Wednes
day night was one o fpecnii&r interest and all
regretted the necessity for dosing. Wo do not
know when we have witnessed so much good
feeling prevailing an entire congregation.
We afro, hear of a most gracious revival at
Piney Mount (Methodjpt) church, seven miles
South, at which some 16 were added to the
church.
Oar Christian brethren, as wo learn, have
been blessed with revivals in nearly or quite all
their chnrches th ronghont the ooanty, and many
souls have been gathered in.
In fact the various churches generally, have
been revived and much good done, as we treat
in the ohm of onr blessed Master. To-day,
Wednesday, the meeting hitherto announced,
begins with the Methodist chnrch in this place,
and most humbly would we invoke the blessings
of heaven upon it. * May many be brought from
darkness to light ere it dose.
Sir Charles Scudamore on Medicated In
halation.—“For the sake of humanity then, I
recommend the treatment and will report what
I have said in the preface to the work already
mentioned. It is not on selfish grounds L advo
cate this practice. What concerns my reputa
tion is personal and transient and of little mo
ment ; what relates to science and the interest
of mankind is for all ages and of inestimable
importance.—London Lancet.
Ala. William Henry Hulbubt has reached
London, and tho first of his long series of Eu
ropean letters for the New York World has been
printed in that journal. The dosing paragraph
refers to Napoleon's health, and is qnite inter
esting. He says that a friend, whose soarco of
information aro of the best, has informed him
that the Emperor has really been very ill, but
with a strictly local affection—an affection pain
ful always, in extreme old age perilous, but at
the Emperor'8 time of jife and to a man of his
singularly vigorous constitution, in nowise pos
itively dangerons. He has undergone an opera
tion, has been relieved of the local inconve
nience under which he suffered, and is in a fair
way of going about his business and his pleas
ures again as freely as at any time within the
last ten years. His condition was aggravated
by andae haste in walking after the operation,
bnt the effects of this indiscretion aro rapidly
disappearing.
It was proposed in Paris immediately after
tho death of Lncas, the lion-tamer, to prohibit
all amusements, the excitement of which con
sisted in the possibility that a man might be
killed in sight of the nndience. Since then
there has been a horrible occurrence at a Span
ish ball fight at Jnras, in the Gard. One of the
bttlls tossed a man, killed him in an instant,
and ran abont the circns with his entrails
twisted abont the horns. Nobody thought of
stopping the performance, which went on for
three hours afterwards.

Weare receiving every day applicitions forreserved
rooms daring the coming Fair. We beg leave to state
to all our numerous and obliging patron*, that wo
will do all in onr power to accommodate all who come
until our capacity to receive guesta is exhausted. We
do not see, however, how vj can hold in reserve
rooms for expect d visitors when others are here
already to enter them. We certainly cannot bo ex
pected to do bo without the expected gueet paying for
the room while it should be held unoccupied, a
measure which we should be unwilling to adopt, as
likely to prove unprofitable to us and unsatisfactory
to the parties. All we can say is that we will leave
no effort unspired to m»;ke comfortable all who call,
and our enlarged me^ns in every department for
doing so are very ample. We are determ ; ned that
none who stop with us shall go away dissatisfied. Onr
terms are and will be our usual rates.
