WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1873.,
Tiie Macon Postmaster.
Macon is again cursed with the ap
pointment of a negro to the responsi
ble position of Postmaster. This, to
our mind, is one of the unhappy results
of the late civil war, and one of the
false policies of the present administra
tion. Now, we are not mad with the
Republican party about the freedom
of the slaves, for it is not chargeable
to them. If it were not right they
never would have been aide to acc >m
plish it, for there is a divinity behind
the throne, that moves the great events
of earth, which we cannot in our short
sighted weakness, understand and
comprehend. This it is which has
worked out the freedom of the Ameri
can race of slaves, and we are not the
one to quarrel with the dispensation,
nor with the Republican party, who
are only the instruments in the hand
of an overruling Providence, to work
out great results. But when the ad
ministration persists in appointing
weak, imbecile and incomp Rent crea
tures to places of trust and responsi
bility, instead of men who are compe
tent to fill them, then it is that we are
compelled to lift our voice against
what is an unjust and u ipilliated
wrong ; we do this not in an unkind
spirit, for that is not the way to make
our rein mstrances uudersto >d and ap
preciated, but we simply appeal to the
reason and sense of right of the intel
ligent men of all political creeds,
whether or not there is any justice in
this kind of policy. We are frank to
say that it is an insult to the good
people of Macon, and the whole State,
and taken all in all, is a very damag
ing policy for the Administration who
professes a desire to cultivate feeling-;
of unity between the people of Georgia
and the Federal Government.
Printers—What, and Who Are
They?
We believe that the masses look up
on us printers as objects, a little above
the brute, —a little lower than man
kind. It is expected of him to take
nonsense of all sorts and make sense
of it. If a mistake should occur in the
composition of what the author calls
manuscript, (but what looks more like
geese tracks around a frog pond,) the
printer is supposed to know all the
whims the author intended, and supply
them accordingly". The printer must
go to church and eulogize the sermon,
even, if it were not equal to a page in
the Dutch Almanac as for a matter of
interest, lie must go to the Mayor’s
Court, and toll all that there occurs ;
but withal, he must not mention the
names of the parties arrested. Must
drink with everybody, but must never
get drunk—must “pufF all sorts of
liquors, although lie is aware that two
and 'inks of some of them would send
him to the tomb of his fathers.
Must pay his debts and give
to every object of charity ; yet if
he asks for his dues from others he
must submit to any abuse they may
choose to heap upon him. Everybody
that wants his name in the paper must
be accommodated. He must write
lengthy obituaries on every wretch
that takes a notion to die—must praise
them to tiie innocence of a saint—• al
though he knows the individual to
have been the greatest sinner unhung.

France and Spain,
Paris, March 20.— Imp >rtant corres
pondence has passed between France
and Spain. It grew out of certain
atrocities perpetrated by the Carlist
chief, the cure of Santa Cruz The
French government complained that
Santa Cruz and his band had killed
four officers on the Spanish railway,
and carried five others into the moun
tains. Costellar, in reply, expressed
regret at these outrages, lie remarks
however, that most of the Carliste
were eduipped in France, whence they
have ever since drawn supplies of
both money and provisions. The
cure of Santa Cruz himself sojourned
for some time in Bayonne before pass
ing into Spain, and was not in to if* red
with. Numbers of Carliste wore the
uniform of French mobiles, and many
Frenchmen of noble rank are serving
with the insurgents. He states, in
conclusion, that the govnrnment is
taking measures to put a stop to these
excesses, and had seized as hostages
the mother and sister of the cure of
Santa Cruz.

The Triumph of Right.
_ On day before yesterday General
Jolin B. Gordon, Senator from Geor
gia, presided over the deliberations of
the United States Senate. Gord m who
Was about ‘to Rad the forlorn hope
when the surrender at Appomattox
came; Gordon, the Confederate Gen
eral whose name and deeds are written
all over .the bloody four years of our
civil strife; Gordon who has been
a prominent and faithful exemplar of
Southern sentiment du'ng the pro
cess of military reconstruction. Gor
don in the chair ruling a violent and
partisan body, and there too, at the
invitation of Henry Wilson of Massa
chusetts. It is scarcely proper to in
quire into the motives that may have
induced the Vice President to do this
courtesy. It was done grace!ully and
properly enough, it seems; and for
the first time since Breckinridge left
it, a Southern gentleman has occupied
the chair of the presiding officer of
the Senate. At the close of the gu
bernatorial campaign in Georgia,
when Bullock, the plunderer and fugi
tive was counted into office by the
mili f ary over General Gordon, he
would have been a bold prophet
who would have dared to predict such
a result, And even if bold enough to
do so, his boldness would have added
nothing to his credibility.
And Gordon would not have reach
ed that seat, lie would never have en
tered into the Senate of the United
States, if he and the people of Georgia
had list-end to the siren tongue which
then- ndeavored to charm them to a
quiet submission and tame acquies
cence in the outrages being prepared
for and forced up >n them.
Gordon's elevation is the legitimate
result of the prompt and bold resist
ance of Ge;>rgia t<> Federal usnrpation
and Congressional tyranny. It is a
proud compliment to the heroic endu
rance of a people who dared all and
braved everything throughout a dark
night of despotism, sustained by the
hope of a day of redemption. Down
trodden Louisiana may learn a lesson
from Georgia If she will cling to her
honor and her rights, the time may
not be far distant when one of her
chosen senators may be called to sit
where Gordon has sat.
This act of the Vice President,
the South will hail as a peace offering,
as a sign of returning reason. Poorly
as we think, and have reason to think
of Henry Wilson, we accord him the
'idlest credit for his conduct on the
occasion alluded to.
Will the North do as much? Will
the Radical Press and the Radical pop
ulace of the North endorse a generous
and graceful action ? Will Massachu
sel a, the State from which Mr. Wilson
hails, put the seal of her approval up
on the act of one of her long tried and
fabhful public servants, when that act
tends toward peace and unity? The
country lias not forgotten the howl,
that followed Sumner,s flag resolu
tions. Savannah Advertiser-.

Harris, of the Savannah News , en
joys himself tlmsly at the expense of
the Macon I. 0 11. H.:
There is a number of young men in
Macon who bave formed themselves
into a sort of association for economi
cal purposes. They do their own wash
ing, cooking, eating and sleeping, each
taking his turn. The other day one of
tin* brightest intellects in the party
concluded he would surprise his com
panions by having wafif-s for supper,
and cO this end he pulled off his coat,
rolled up his breeches and went to
work. When the others came home
they found him sitting complacently
by a large fire with a smile on his face
and a good deal of batter in his hair,
watching a pair of wuille-irons which
were buried up to the hilt m the hot
embers. He has not resigned yet, but
ho has remarked to several of his in
timate acquaintances that it is aston
ishing how long it takes a waffle to
get ripe.
A nice little boy in Savannah amused
himself the other evening by holding
his sister’s pet cat on the stove, wh le
at a good lively heat ; and just as he
in the midst of his nice, humane,
innocent and childlike diversion, his
father came in, carrying three drinks
of beligeroncy inside of his under
shirt, and at once comprehending the
situation, he gracefully dropped into
a chair, drew the youngster lovingly
across his knee, and—well, kitty walks
about now, without the fear of being
scorched, the boy takes his meals at a
side-table, standing*, and sits down on
jail fours to rest, while the kind papa
carries his right hand in a sling.

A Newnan young man asked a
young lady the otner night, to allow
him to tell her fortune She consented,
and darwing out a handkerchief he
measured from her left ear to the chin,
from the right to the back of her neck,
and then from ear to ear across the
eyes, at the same time, unwitting ot
the presence of paterfamilias, who
stood just behind his chair, viewing
the operation, giving her a ringing
smack on her ruby lips. He now
stands up to the mantlepiece to eat,

Atlanta has determined to outdo the

Says Harris;
‘A Talbott-on negr > attempted to
break anew mule by holding on to
his tail. It is needless to specify
which was broken.
Mrs. Them! Pope, of Pulaski county,
is troubled with d*-price,- Jug hawks.—
The other day she too A down an old
shot gun, put herself at the back end
of it, poked it out at the window,
“drew a bead” on Mr. Ilawk, toyed a
little with the trigger, picked herself
up out of the middle of the floor,
dressed her bruises, and hoisted the
fowl-g-atherer’s hide on a pole as a
warning to women and hawks,
A young man in an upper-Georgia
town, begged a curl of his future hap
piness. She cut it off and give it with
pleasure, and the next time lie called,
begged him to exchange with her, as
she had bought some new ones, which
she thought were prettier.

your little household joys, and see if
you can’t roll off this beautiful prize.
The Macon Enterprise returns thanks
for a serenade with which they have
been favored, through the kindness
and throat of one Mr. B. Frog, (the B
doesn’t stand for Boss,) which inhabits
a mudhole in the street near the office
of the aforesaid journal. We’ll war
rant that he has the exact amount of
four legs, no more nor less, for if he
didn’t the paper that is too moral to
publish the notice < t a cock fight,
would have ere this had him fished
out, to go in their museum with the
rat that talks, and the other frog with
three legs.
A generously colored,- and curly
headed individual hailing, from the
classic precints of Sandy Bottom, is a
victim of connubial felicity, lie came
home the other night, and supper not
being ready he ventured to expostulate
with his larger half in a mild manner
upon her negligence, punctuating his
remarks with a back handed slap or
so. in the front part of the back of her
head. She resisted by fir*t knocking
him down witli a rolling pm, and seiz
i:ig a hot tire shovel, she branded the
picture thereof on both jaws, stuck
the corner in bis eye, and mildly drop
ping 180 pounds of loyalty on his up
turned stomach she softly inquired
whv he was so unkind as to strike his
faithful and affectionate partner. The
doctor says that he might “put a good
lace on the matter” by skinning one of
bis arms entire and transferiug the
cuticle from thence to his countenance
but is firm in the conviction that if by
any mishap he looses his other eye he
will be a blind nig -“until death do
them part”
The Savannah News pays the follow
ing deserved compliment to the Macon
Enterprise.
The Macon Enterprise has made ar
rangements to receive telegrams over
the wires of the Southern and Atlantic
line. The service is in some respects
superior to that s *nt to the Southern
papers by the Associated Press, as
the readers of the News have perhaps
observed, while the telegrams are
well-written and prepared with scru
pulous care. We q agratulate the En
terprise.
Mr. Perkins, of Milner, went bird
hunting the other day, in company
with some friends. lie stood at the
wrong end of the gun of one < f the
party—the powder ignited, then ex
ploded and ruined his new spring hat,
besides scarifying the leather covering
>f his brain box, in a way that was
provoking in the extreme. Ills sport
ing fever is cooled for a white, and he
is now investing his surplus elutngo
in adhesive plasters.
Col. Magdl, of Atlanta, has been
victimized. He met a poor boy on the
street, and upon his representation
that lie hadn't had anything to eat for
two days, wrote him an order to a res
taurant, to let him have as much as he
could eat, and charge to him. He com
menced on quail on toast, and des
patched 75 cents worth ; he then called
for turkey,, then for roast beef and
milk, then a plate of lamb fries, a ten
derloin steak, two dozen fried eggs, a
quart of stewed oysters, etc. The bill
was $4 60.
A Savannah man came home v( ry
late the other night, and said he was
very tired. llis wife asked what made
him so, for it was not far to his place
of business. Yes, but said he, (hie)
the street is so wide (hie) it makes me
tired.
The Macon Telegraph continues to
interfere with other people’s business,
by pitching into the I. 0. H. 11. Now,
it seems to us, if a set of young men
in tins land of liberty are tired of pay
ing heavy board bills, and want to
plant an oyster bed and manure it with
seaweed fertilizer, and raise their own
bivalves, convert it into hash, and hide
it on their own responsibility, that it
is nobody's business.
Atlanta whiskey is simply horrible.
A good, pious man came into that town
the other day to purchase family sup
plies, and, starting out home rather
late, of course forgot something, and
leaving his ox team in the middle of
the street, went back, and before his re
turn the laden bovines strayed off into
an ally, lie went at once to the effi
cient police and informed them that
somebody bad stolen his cash, oxen,
load, and all ; and giving a minute
description of it in the course of an
hour or two, one of the efficient G. P.
happened to spy it. in the aforesaid
ally, and, sounding his rattle, he* im

Horrible Murder In Warren Coun
ty.—The Georgia. Clipper says:
A horrible murder was committed in
ill it portion of Warren county kn >wn
as the “neck” on Saturday, Is:ii inst,
by Mr. Ed. Clark, upon the body of his
wife. We have been unable to see
any one from the locality where the
deed was committed, and are there
fore unable to give full particulars.
Rumor states, however, that he struck
her a blow with a large iron spoke on
the back ot her head, cutting a three
inch gash. lie then piled the chairs
and table over her lifeless body, and
setting fire to them took one of his
children in his arms and made his es
cape. The fire burned through the
floor and the body of the unfortunate
woman fell to the ground and was
pierced through by the falling of a part
burned s 11, the ragged end of the sill
tore the liver, heart and entrails out of
the lifeless body. We also learn that
the youngest of the children, which
the fiend left in the burning building
with its mother was badly burned.
