THE TKLEGRAPH. BV CLISBT & REID. TlLSOgirH I • COSSg* ClitRKT h BSCOSD BT*. THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 23,1869. . Mr. A. IT. YARansOTOTf in onr general Travel ing Agent, nnthorized to transact any bnaines* for ns. Oatulile Cicitent*. FnrsT Pace—Letter from a Georgian on hi, travcla—Cane of Henrietta Greer. Fourth Pace—Weekly Telegraph Resume of Foreign Affairs. 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. The foliage of the trees taking autumn tints prematurely and dropping from the drought. Columbus Cotton Market.—The Snn gives tho movements to the 21st as follows: Stock on hand Sept. 1,1869 123 Received to-day.... SO Received previously 3733—3S33 Shipped to-day. Shipped previously 3960 145 2250—2395 Stock Sept. 20, 1SC9 1565 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. 5H1W ADVERTISEMENTS “Bibb County Agricultural Club” A SPECIAL MEETING of this Club i. called for Saturday next. 25th ioitant.
