The Macon Fight.—A fight occurred at the polk iu Macon to-day, negroes to take forcible possession of the polls, a device whice they have successfully practiced here on the last three elections. . Very early in the morning they massed at the City Hall and marched down to the polla at the court-house in a column, under the command pf their captains and lieutenants and sergeants, and there found a sraaller croNvd, principally whites, and com menced crowding them aqd forcing them a way from the polls. A few fist-cuffs occurred in the dense mass, and then a discharge of brick-bats came from the negroes, followed by an order ftotu their leader, Jeff, Long, to fire upon the whites. Iu the course of a few seconds about fifty pistol suhte were, discharged front both sides, by which one white man was killed, and some five or six negroes wounded—two of whom are since dead.

God sjiecd the Right!” A gentleman visiting Savannah, hut whose name the Adrertiter docs not give- stepped off a liiggli wall on the Bay at the foot of Drayton Btreet, Thursday- night, and broke his right leg above the knee. The Savahnah Kent says, “ At a negro camp-meeting near Firsyth, a Macon ne gro was brutally beaten just after the benediction. We have often remarked that the religion of the colored people is not at all puritanical. They invariably close their execnics with sonic sort of so* cial pleasantry similar to that recorded in the foregoing.” The, nnti-Custom-Housc Radicals of the First District, have nominated Geo. Washington Wilson, of Savannah, for Congress in opposition to the Gr&ntitc Sloan. A colored man left Quitman on Friday night, reached Lawton Saturday m-irn- Ing, devoted the day to drinking mean whisky, went to sleep on the railroad track, was woke op by the night passen ger train crashing one of his legs, had the leg amputated in Quitman Sunday morning, and died the some day.

He broke : into a a store in Chottansoga, where he receiv ed a ball in his leg. and it was this wound let to his arrest. lie was taken back to Chattanooga for trial. On last Friday night the store-house of Messrs. Briggs, Jclks St Co., in Quit- man, was again entered by burglars, and goods to a considerable amount car ried away. This is the third time, we believe, the firm ha* suffered from the depredations of vilians unknown. A man up the country wooed and won the affections of a yonng lady of Atlantn, While she was on a visit .to an adjoining county, insisted on and had a hasty mar riage, went to a fashionable watering place, returned to Atlanta for parental pardon, where he left her at the parental door, saying, “d—n yon, stay there,” went off and has not been heard of since. At an election for regimental officers of the 1st Georgia Volunteers—composed of the volunteer companies of ^avkhnah —held on Thursday night, C. H. Olm- stcad was elected Colonel. Martin J. Ford, Lieutcnt Colonel, and G.B. Lamar. Jr., Major. The Coiambus Sun, of yesterday, says a man calling himself C. W. Wade, sup posed to have murdered a man in Butler on the 81st of August last, . .was arrested in that city on Thursday. When arrest ed he deniod having killed, any body. He said he cut a man thirteen times, and then escaped. His son, a lad about fifteen, stated to the policeman that his father did not kilt tho man, but only cut him very badly.

Figures can’t lie. Can’t they? a fashionable woman’s figure tell the truth ? William Caraway, a colored man of Natchez, in bidding adieu to the Grant party says; “JEpon cool reflection'I have decided to sqwrate myself from a party that has done nothing to benefit me or improve the condition of my colored fcUow-oitizcns, further than to keep a few lazy, hungry office-seeker in positions, which net a few of them have disgraced by their dishonesty, ignorance and want of capacity." - ' The Cuthbcrt Appeal says the Postof- fica at Lumpkin, Stewart county,- has been closed by orders from Washington and that hereafter ail mall matter for that point will be stopped at Cntlibcit.

Akerman and eight negroes arc said to be nominated as candidates for city council in Cartereville, Ga.—We consider this decidedly rich. The Young Men’s Democratic Club, of Marietta, arc making arrangements fora grand politicabdemonstration and. bar becue on the 25th of October. When Mr. Greeley was nominated for the Presidency by the Cincinnati Convention very tiiany people were apprehensive that a grav'd mistake hAc\ Wen committed. They knew that hb was a great journalist, but feared, ho Yvds \Vdnting id sUrtie of the requisites of a stafesnidh. The report had gone abroad, and was credited to a certain extent by some of his friends; that,, titongh a man of. undoubted aftSty,. his conduct was likely to be governed too much by impulse aud too little by prudence audepber judgment. Nearly five months hsve passed since that time, and the friends and opponpnts of Mr. Greeley have alike seen cause to iriodi- fy their opinion of him. No unpre judiced man now doubts .tbat-ho is a statesman, arid that, too,' of fho first order. His Liberal'’arid Democratic supporters hhve leafried thhTttifey cab repose in him the most implicit confi dence,’and his Radical opppaetits have found to them chargin that beerimmits no mistakes. >>-■- • • - Mr. Greeley’s letter accepting the nomination of the Cincinnati Conven tion was the first of his caniped|n mas terpieces.. He said in it just’what he ought to have said; omitting nothing, and writing not a line or syllable too much. After a while he waif, again nominated by the Democratic party in their National Convention at Balti more, and to that nomination he also replied in a letter in which nothing was omited and to which nothing bould be added. By this time such as mistrusted Mr. Greeley’s prudence and statesmanship had had their minds disabused. They saw that they had greatly underestimated him, and ap preciated the fact tljat. ho was pot on ly a great editor but a great statesman. ■Since the publication of these letters the Lil>eral candidate for the Presiden cy has furnished still stronger .proofs of his discretion and stateagren^hip. It is a dangerous thing for a Presiden tial candidate to make political speech es, for it is almost impossible t? steer between the Charybdis that .threatens to wreck him on the one hand npfl the Sy’.la which is ready to Bwallow him up on the other.. Mr. Greeley,,jut the course of his visit to different. parts of the country, has found himself .under the necessity of making a good many speeches, and in not one of them has he committed a mistake or been guilty of an imprudence. Every ope of these short speeches, called out by the people of the different parts of the country through which he has traveled, is a master-piece. In everyj. ope of them he has said just what he ha^said, nothing more, nothing less. No,t oue of them but has made votes ..for -the Liberal cause. The objections entertained by,pome, to campaign speech-making by a Presi dential candidate can not apply to' Mr. Greeley. His - brief bat Hibst effective speeches are drawn from him by th e crowds of people assembled to do him honor in the towns and cities through which he passes on his tour : through the country. Having resigned the editorial charge of the New Yoik IW: bune because of his nomination/ Mr. Greeley can not brook inactivity. 1 ' He has all hb life been a hard worker,-and now that he is constrained by circum stances of delicacy to abdicate the Tri bune tripod, he must have employ ment of some kind. The little Ch'ap- paqua form takes up some nf his time and r ttention, and he seeks to eife out the rest by attending some of the ex positions aud fairs to which he 1 'has been- invited. Hb journey ttf arid from these places’ are made By the people one continuous ovation. ,! -Wc are more than gra^jfi^dLtlpM these speeches have been brought out by the people. They prove not only that Mr. Greeley is a patriot, but a states man. They prove to everybody "that he can safely be intrusted with tho Presidential office. They, prove the wisdom and integrity of the man. There is not another man in America who could acquit himself so> well tinder the circumstances. There is not an other man in America who, similarly situated, could talk to the people so often and with such uniform wisdorit. The burden of all Horacb Gree- ley’s speeches b reconciliation and peace. He never forgets that. He never forgets to impress it upon, his audiences that all the sections o£tbe Union ore equal, and to insbt on the abrogation of everthirig like proscrip tion. He argues that the civil wrir braving terminated more than seven years ago the Southern people aire en titled to recognition as citizens,;!with every right of citizenship. ' There is a grandness in the speeches of Mr. Greeley that must elicit the admiration even of his enemies., In every one of them he pleads th'e cause of nationality and fraternity. -Every one of them shows that hb great heart 'b yearning for the perfect reconcilia tion of the sections. Every one of them b a fervid protest against the proscription of any American; citizen in any American State. When this grand old man declares that lie would not be a candidate, if that candidacy would affect the rights of any citizen; we are morally certain he speaks the truth. Hb campaign utterances are the eloquence of patriotism. The peo ple who Ibten to hb speeches appreci ate that it b so, and wherever the voice of Horace Greeley is heard con verts are made to the Liberal cause. Lilian Edgerton is progressing slowly “From Fig Leaves*to Dolly Vardens.” ' *** 31. About anOiecdom in Germany, t)ile of the most bxciting tttpits of dbcourse in Fnibcc just now is tho recent arrest of M. Edmund AbouT. He had gone to the deeded ^tovinces, Alsace and Lorraine, in order to make a personal survey of the ground fought over By the contending armies aadj^port^npon ^he conditi9p v 'gf tl^ population of the ceded districts and their feelings toward their new mas ters. It b said that the publication of somriVtides from bis pen tending to foster disaffection among the people of the lately incorporated provinces was the proximate cause which led to hb arrest A courtmartial jvas threatened, but the German authorities, after an examination, decided that hb release was the most advisable action in tho premises. This is perhaps a fair speci men of the political freedom enjoyed in reconstructed Germany. In England, or the United States,. any writer, na tive or foreign, might laud orabu.se their institutions to hb heart's content without let or hindrance from the civil authorities. They would, no more think of arresting a bluff Englishman, an enthusiastic Gerritan or mercurial Frenchman for expressing hb opinion in the most trenchant and uncompli mentary terms about the people among whom he happened to sojourn or their institutions than they would Of sending him to the moon. Arrest in such a case would be simply impossible. No wonder Germans wbh to escape by hundreds and thousands from the bles sings of German unification when even a distinguished foreigner, under the protection of liis own Government, can be arrested for a publication written in Alsace but publbhed in Paris. Think of a warrant issuing from the United States authorities at Washingtou for the arrest of Charles Dickkens for the hard things he said about us in “ Martin Chuzzlewit” or “ American Notes.” Edmund About is one of the the first of living French writers. Both hb works of fiction and hb dramatic compositions have taken higl nirik in contemporary literature. He wa3 born in 1828, educated at the Lycee Charlemagne and afterwards at the Ecolc Normale. About 1825 he received the appointment to the Frecnh school established at Athens for the cultivation of the History and Arch- seology of Greece. While there he wrote aud publbhed “ L’lle d’Egine,” and on hb return) “ Greece Contem- poraine.” Both of these, and especially the latter, attained great popularity and contributed largely to the forma tion of European public opinion on the affairs of Greece. His first novel, “ Tolla,” appeared iu 1855, in the “ Revue des Deux Mondes,” a work of high artbtic merit, butunfortuuately open to the charge of plagiarism from an Italian novel, “ Villoria Savorelli,” which tvas publbhed in 1841.' His /comedy of “ Guillery,” which he brought upon the stage shortly after, was a complete failure in consequence of the ill opinion entertained for him by the Parisians, but hb next work, published os aseriafin the “Moni tor," and entitled ‘* Les Marriages- de Paris,” more than compensated by its success for the previous failure. This was followed by “ Le Roi des Monta- gnes Germaine” and others, which still further established hb reputation. Hb well-known pamphlet “ La Question Romaine,” which urged tho abolition of the-temporal power of the Pope and exposed the abuses and corruptions of the government of the Holy See, was supposed to reflect the views of the Emperor respecting the Italian ques tion, and was in consequence widely read. In 1860 he publbhed two poli tical pamphlets, “ The New Map of Europe” and “Prussia iu 1860.” “Les Coquins of the Agents ofChange, in 1861, besides new editions of former works, kept M. About continually before the public, and increased hb already extensive reputation. ' But the most considerable of oil hb works was one entitled “ Le Progress,” whieh appeared in 1863-4. In thishe discussed freely the condition of French society, both iri its political and social aspect, exposing with a masterly hand its defects and suggesting their rem edy. He urged a reform of the land- tenure laws, the distribution of inhab itants in proper proportion be tween town and eountry, freedom of the press and religious and municipal freedom." Then 1 followed in rapid succession “ La Vesilfe Roche,” “Le Turco,” il L’lnfame,” " Les Marriages de Province,” and lastly, in 1868, L’ A. B. C. du Tiavailleur,” a hand book of political economy. In 1866 he was commissioned by'the Emperor to draV up a report of the slate of pub lic opinibn in France^ the publication of which excited much, partisan com ment. ' In 186& he became connected with the “ Gaulob,”$s one of its load ing contributors, and on the outbreak of the Frarice-Prussian war accom panied the French army to the field, whence he sent many articles' to the “Soil*’, which attracted much aftea- tton. He was married in 1864toMdIIe, de guileeRvelle, a lady of culture and of good family. He had, in' 1858, received promotion into the Legion of Honor. Since the dose of the war he has written little. He is, of course, an ardent Imperialbt, and imnerialbm just now is at a dbcount. We can not but regret, in tlie interests of civ ilization, the peety malignity of a great empire, which thinks it neces sary for its safetjr to persecute so dts- tingubhed a foreigner as M. Aaout by arrest and imprisonment. In many teingsthe Germans abroad, with all their .culture, have not yet learned the alphabet of freedom. MI ELLANEOUS ITEMS.

A Clergyman Imprisoned for an Abusive Sermon.—A German paper states that the Rev. Von Fel- 8tow, a Dantzic minister, has been condemned to a month’s imprisonment in a Prussian fortress, for having, on the .21st of January last, in the course of a sermon, used opprobrious epithets against the Jews. The court decided that such expressions were entirely at variance with the character and posi tion of a minister of religion, aud that fanaticism would not be tolerated in a country in which all citizens, irrespec tive of cree 1, were equal before the law.
