THE TELEGRAPH. BY CLISBY Ac REID. TILtGIUrH HriLDISO. COEgKE CHgEET g .BOOED ETE. SATURDAY MORNING, OCT. 9, 1869. Mil. A. H. Ya-reixotok is our general Travel ing Agent, authorized to transact any business for us. Ontnlde C ontent*. First Paoe.—Letter from Savannah—The In dianapolis Calamity—Shall We Ilavc the Col leges in Macon ? —The Suez Canal — From lyowndes Connty—Sickles' Indignity to Spain. Foi-rth Taoe.—Council Proceedings—The Printers Again—Items. 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 been destroyed by fire. Supposed to be the work pf an inoendiary.

We neither, on the one hand, expect to entice distinguished men from distant States by what we have to ex 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 assurance to all who attend that a cordial wel come awaits them.

On motion, the Committee adjonrned, to eet id Macon on Friday, 12th day of Novem- D. W. Lewis, Secretary. meet i her next. 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.
