JTHE EASTMAN TIMES. R. S. BURTON, - - Proprietor. 4< > ■ H. W, J. HAM. - - - - Editor. 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. —Gamsville (Te rns) Gazette. 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. Savannah is going to have a grand masked ball on Easter evening, the 11th of April. 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-. Georgia News. 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. Styles sticks his thumbs in the arm holes of his vest, throws his 175 pounds averdupois back m the chair editorial.

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, and says that the idea of men growing weak frpm old age is, -? :ae ‘;Rsb Personal.— Mr. 11. W. J.

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. Messrs.

Come in mothers with 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 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 nygliately wont for it, and gallantly captured the truant cattle, and found everything just as the honest, but mis taken sober(?) gvnt reman had left ir.

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. New Advertisements. ADMINISTRATOR’S SALE.
