The College*.
An intelligent and influential city correspon
dent sends ns an endorsement of the suggestions
wo dropped in regard to timely benefactions for
tho Colleges proposing to locate in Macon. He
is far under the mark in basing his calculations
upon an average attendance of 100 students to
each of these colleges. We donbt not it would
bo nearer L’OO. and would bring back to tho town
every year twice the amount of money sub
scribed for these institutions. We take this
pecuniary view of the case, becanso we are
making a pecuniary proposition: and trying to
show that it would, in that particular, lie a good
investment.
lint when wo consider the elevating influence
they would exert upon the social, moral, re
ligions and literary character of tho place—what
power, influence and character they would give
it in these particulars, wo touch a much more
important, though less tangible inducement for
a wise and timely liberality.
The National Ilrkt-Goldru View*.
The Philadelphia Press says that in tho first
six months of Grant's administration tho national
dobt has l»en reduced flfty-Boven millions, and
by next March will bo redneed one hundred
millions, and since tho experiment of retrench
ment and integrity has worked so well in six
months, it is fair to infer that tho ratio of reduc
tion will bo increased : and it is abundantly
probable that in 1876—the centenary year of the
Declaration of American independence—the
whole governmental obligation of tho American
people will not l>o more than ono thousand mil
lions.
Indeed, says tho Press, ono of onr shrewdest
statisticians, taking a more analytical view of
the same subjoct, and supposing the minimum
surplus revonne to remain at £100,000,000 an
nually, counts upon an entire extinguishment of
the debt in a little less than fifteen years. Or,
if the surplus revenue bo fixed at £.'0.000,000
annually, tho investment of this amount in a
sinking fnnd at six per cent- interest will extin
guish tho debt in about twenty-three years.
Either of these amonnts are easily controlable
now that duo economy in expenditure and
prompt collection of tho revenues are guaran
teed by faithful officers. Dnder wiso adminis
tration. and a feeling of national security, $115,-
000,000 is reckoned as an averago measnre of
the annual increase in revonuo.
Wo only know that the Itadieal parly have
had control of the national debt and resources
over since the end of tho war, as well as before,
nndthoro has been littlo or no aggTegato reduc
tion since that time. If they have been able to
roduco it fifty-seven millions sinco last March,
that fact displays their oxtravnganco and profli
gacy, for four years before, when, with higher
taxation thoy made no redaction at all.
But whore is tho necessity of extinguishing
that debt in fiftcon years or in soven years if it
enn be done ? It is more crnolty to tho people.
To pay it off in twenty to thirty years by a sys
tem of low taxation and rigid economy, would be
far better.
The Xews.
We are very sorry to chroniclo the death of
Franklin Pierco—ono of tho pnrest statesmen
Now England ovor produced. Ho was truly a
State rights and strict construction Democrat,
from early youth. He was one of the best po
litical scholars New England over produced.
Tho nows from Spain is ominous. Civil dis
turbances have become so sorions that tho ship
ment of troops to Cnba has boon stopped. Tho
Cubans will not cry ovor it.
Andy Johnson holds tho field in Nashville,
and lias camped upon it with all his forces. Wo
hopo ho will como off victor.
State Executive Committee.
Wo omit editorial to make room for the pro
ceedings of tho Executive Committeo of tho
Stato Fair. It will be Rccn that they have add-
od largoly to tho premium list—havo avowed
tho most liberal policy in respect to invitations
—havo accepted tho Governor’s proposition of
an extra train to Lynchburg to receive and con
vey invitffl guests, and have appointed a com
mittco to receive them.
Tlir Outrage Mill.
Politics are warming np in Pennsylvania and
ono result is another creaking revolution of the
Goorgia Outrage Mill. Forney’s Proas of the
r.th succeeds in getting ono more groan out of
tho rusty old concern, as follows ■
Almost daily we hear of tho murder of negroes
in Georgia, and tho Macon Union of Friday last
records no less than threo. This wholesale
butchery of colored men is not confined to any
particular locality; it is carried on with impu
nity throughout every section of the State. The
civil authorities wink at tho outrages, and juries
refuse to bring in verdicts of guilty if the offen
der is a “ good old rebel. " Such is the state of
affairs to lie expocted under Democratic rale ; at
least it corresponds very nearly with that found
at present in Philadelphia.
We never expect to see the day when some
murders will not occur among twelve hundred
thousand people, but there is not that number
of people on earth in one body politic more quiet
and orderly than Georgia is now. Let the Press
como down to Georgia if he wants to know the
truth.
VfoiiiM Cotton Seed.
Mr. Eden Taylor offers for sale a limited sup
ply of the celebrated Moina cotton seed, which
may bo had of J. Collins & Son, Macon. This
seed, we think, has become the favorite of all
fine upland cottons in this section.
Systematic Besevolexce.—The Hebrews
and Quakers, says the New York Times, have
the most systematic arrangements for relieving
their poor. Every Jewish synagogue has a com-
mittee of its most respectable members, whose
business it is to become acquainted with the
condition of every Hebrew in their district, and,
if necessary, to afford assistance. The aged
are pensioned, and the disabled placed in hos
pitals, or furnished with regnlar relief. As a
result the genuine broadbrim and Judaic nose
is never seen at the world’s back door begging
cold victuals.
Textile Fabrics from Grass.—At an indus
trial exhibition iu Vienna a new product of art
is to be seen, consisting of various articles of
spun glass, such as bead-dresses, ribbons, brace
lets, enffs, collars, watch chains, ostrich feath
ers and the like. They are the product of a
Parisian manufacturer. The threads are report
ed to be as fine as a spider’s web and as strong
as wool, but more beautiful in appearance. The
thread may be used for knitting or sewing.
Freights.—The Charleston Courier says the
Central Railroad of Georgia gets £2.75 per bale
freight on cotton, “Macon to Savannah, 190
miles,” and the South Carolina Road $1.50,
Columbia to Charleston, 130 miles.
W* regretted to hear yesterday that the beau
tiful Presbyterian Church at Greensboro, had

hibit, or on the other, was it our design to be
obsequious. Their presence hero is desired that
they may see how quiet and peaceable and how
earnest and active our people are in building np
their material interests. And especially do we
desire the presence of persons from the States
North and West of ns, who are representative
men, as guarantees and encouragement for ex
hibitors to come from those sections and show
us improved models of agricultural implements
and machinery, and of their thoroughbred stock.
Resolved, That our Fair Grounds are open
to all men of all sections, and we hereby give

come awaits them.

presidents of other roads who may make offers
of their cars on liberal terms to bring invited
guests from any directions; and that the gentle
men named in tho resolution appointing tho
Committee of Reception be authorized to make
any and all arrangements they may deem neces
sary to moke these offers available.

Let Is Understand.
The Atlanta Constitution of the 7th, correcting
the outgivings of a Tribuno correspondent npon
Georgia politics, which we reprinted some days
ago, says:
It mistakes about the Goorgia Democratic
Committee. That body did not meet to announce
a policy about reseating tho negroes, bnt simply
to discuss the election of Congressmen. There
was not tho slightest blaster brought to bear on
them from the Ben 44 Hill-Toombs faction,” nor
from any other sonree.
But tho material point in tho statement of the
Tribuno was this;
The Democratic Stato Committee, which lately
met in Atlanta, convened to decide what policy
shall l>o adopted on the gueetion of resenting the
colored members. The Committee is understood
to hate been unanimous in fa tor of obeying the
dictum of the State Supreme Court," etc.
Is this statement true ? Tho question is ono
of mnch interest to the pooplo, and it is ono of
particular interest to ns, because tho Teleoraph
has been very acrimoniously assailed for taking
position upon that subject antagonistic to the
views of the people and to tho attitude of tho
Democratic party in Georgia.
FUNERAL NOTICE.
Tho friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs
I*. H. Bono, are respectfully invited to attend the
fnncral of their little daughter, Mary, this morning
at 10 o’clock, at their residence, on tho corner of
