Hot Shot. —The Atlanta Herald takes John L.
Conley to task in this style: We understand that
John L. Conley, armed with a little brief authori
ty aa United States Commissioner, has been threat
ening to arrest the editors and publishers of this
paper, fer what he styles contempt ol the United
State* Court, because, lorsooth, we took the lib
erty, on yesterday, to criticise, in plain language,
the unwarrantable decision of Judge Erskice in
regard to negro juries. We can hardly believe
that this young man is so completely bereft of his
senses as to seriously think of undertaking such
folly. He has lorded it with a high hand, lor the
past few years, backed by a miserable State gov
ernment and United States bayonets; but, never
theless, we do not think him such a fool as an at
tempt of this kind would indicate. Arrest us 1
For what ? merely because we stated what every
honest man in Georgia knows to be the truth ?
Does not even Conley know that this new mode
of selecting jurors was a political mov.ment, and
inaugurated for the purpose of indicting political
revenge. Judge Er.kine has found such scoun
drels as Bond and Durell high in lavor with his
master, and he felt it necessary that he too, should
do something to make him also a favorite The
more we th.uk of this decision, the more satisfied
are we that there was a hidden purpose in it which
does not now appear. There are a number of gen
tlemen from Middle ixeorgia who have beeu
dragged from their homes by H. P. Farrow to be
tried in Savannah. Farrow kuows, and Judge
Elrskine knows, that these men cannot be con
victed, with a lair trial, before an upright and in
telligent jury ; therelore, to gratify Farrow’s
spite, they have established a rule which author
ise* them to send out among what they term the
body of tbe people, aud bring in jurors that they
know will obey the slightest intimation of the
court, if Judge Erskiue is alfowed to select his
commissioners, who are to receive instructions
from him as to the class of men they are to bring
into court; what is this but placing tbe whole
power of selecting the jury to try each pai titular
case In the judge’s complete coutrol. Take lor
instance, the men who are on the jury from De-
Kalb county. Five white men aud the balance
negroes, and four of tbe white men Radicals, it
is simply monstrous, that a court which has the
trial ol a case should also have the selection of
the jury. For instance, Farrow has certaiu par
ties to try at the next term of the court, and he
says to his jury gatherers, “Go forth and bring me
a number cf negroes and scallawags, for 1 have a
friend that must be acquitted and I have a lot ol
respectable gentlemen that I um anxious to scud
to the Albany peuiteptiary.” It would befeailul
enough to think of entrusting this power to any
set ol men, no matter hew virtuous, but when we
consider that it is placed iu the hands of our ene
mies, it is enough to make u citizen dread the
United States Court as he would the inquisition.
If Judge Erskiue thought it eo singular that
among two hundred aud fifty names drawu from
seventeen hundred, tfierelwas not a single negro,
does he not think it equally strange that ia a
county where there are but five white Radicals
that his jury gatherers should have selected five ?
We would be glad to have him explain this. The
fact of it is, the whole scheme is too transparent.
iu conclusion, we beg leave to assure Mr. John
L. Conley that we shall express our opinion about
his august court whenever we feel called cn to do
so, and we are not the least afruid of Lis ven
geance. lie knows who to arrest, although he
may have beeu led astray by having come of his
high handed outrages in the past go unfinished.
Macon & Cincinnati Railroad.— Tho Tele
graph and Messenger says that, in his speech, at
the meeting held at tjie City Ilall, on the night of
the 13th, Mr. Geo. W. Adams, .President of the
Macon & Cincinnati Railroad Company, pro
ceeded to show the immense advantage that would
he gained by the building of the road, in the way
of a more direct and shorter route from the great
grain and provision markets of the West to Macon
and the seaboard.
He said it hud beep suggested that Macon could
reach Knoxville, Tenn., by the Ailauia and Rich
mond Air Line load (via Atlanta) and tour other
roads, and then proceeded to show the distances
that would he traversed by that route and com
pared it with the distances between Macon and
Knoxville, by the way of the Macon £ Cincinnati
road, which showed a total distance from Macon
to Knoxville of 575 miles, 131 of which is built
and in operation, and 254 of which remains to be
built.
By the Macon & Cincinnati route, the distance
from Macon to Knoxville is only 230 miles, 18 of
which is built and in operation. This makes a
diflerence of the vast amount of 1)5 miles in favor
of the Macoa & Cincinnati road, and iu fayor of
the;same a difference of 42 miles in the 'amount
of road to be constructed. This argument,backed
up by such figures as these, settles the point cer
tainly in favor of Mr. Adams’ project.
Superior to Hi Associates.-- In a letter writ
ten by an Atlanta Radical correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press the following remarkable lan
guage appears: “{ sincerely hope that the day is
very nigh when the troops will be entirely with
drawn from the South, and the people lelt as un
trammeled os those of the Northern States to do
tbat which they deem right. If their subsequent
conduct fie In violation of law, and against any
class, then the State, or if need be the Central
Government, can interfere for the protection
of the weak, but so loDg as the blue uniforms are
seen at the polls, the Southern people must feel
tjjey are a conquered section, and that eight years
have passed in peace without haying restored to
them all the rights of a people who pay taxes,
and‘whose States ire have ever asserted were
inseparable fractious of the great Union. Let
troop's be seen in the South as they are in the
North, the possible guardians of the nation in easo
of improbable danger, and I firmly believe the
efiact would be magical. A brave man, helpless,
must ever have murderous thoughts in the pres
ence of an armed coLtjueror, and the S-utheru
people must look upon us as their conquerors till
py fbe aiosf generous and magnanimous trust we
haye shown ourselves to fie their friends.
Irjt amt is H_gr Places —As a specimen of

Yankee vs. Englishmen. —London papers of
tfie 3.1 unit I.fi contain the following details ot tfie
giuul forgeries i u the Bank of Ragland : it was
uiscov.reu ou iwiurduy that nuts lo an enormous
amount had beeu loigcd upOfc all the principal
houses iu the city oi London, and that these bills
had been discounted at the West End branch oi
the Bank ol Engtaud, in the Burlingtun Gardens,
Which docs au entirely ditleieut kind ol business
from the parent establishment in the city, it is
lutended lor tue convenience ot gentlemen arid
ladies and West Eud tradesmen who mignt find it
ineonveuieut to journey to the city iu order to
transact their occasional business. It is not,
therelore, ordinarily concerned with the large
hill transactions of tfie city commerce, aud in
consequence is less hound by stiiei regulations iu
dcahug with any business ot that nature which
in ig tit accidentally be brought to it. The con
spn alors must have beeu aware ol this and they
laid thur plans lor approaching the Rank ol En
gland by tnis weaker poitiou oi its defences.
Mr. Warren, au American, who managed the
plot, was ia no hurry and took care to gain a good
looting betore he ventured ou his ultimate enter
prise. He behaved lor some time just like au or
dinary customer ot good resouices. He drew
upon his fialacpe and renewed it, but kept it al
ways at a good figuie. Alter a while he deposited
some bills, they were good and genuine bnis.
Still he was cartful not to he hasty, and he con
tinued his transactions with the bank until he had
acquired the reputation ol a person engaged in
legitimate commerce, aud thoroughly praisewor
thy.
At {cugth tUe inomeut cam* for the piesentatiou
ol forged bills. They were dhcouqted w*thotjt
fiesilaiiou, aud the authors of tfie fiaqd had, to all
appearance, succeeded in pocketing about a hun
dred thousand pounds. All these arrangements
were masterpieces of lugeuuity aud patience, hut
the bills themselves must have required the great
est amount of labor. Iu the first place, many of
the large firms upon whom the bills purported to
be druwu are in the habit of using a peculiar
kind of paper with certqia water marks and print
ed matter. All this would have to be iiqitated,
and as the bills were drawu ou more than one
firm, there must have been several such imita
tions. There remained the drawing ot the bills
and affixing the eiguatuies, aud each bill must
have required a series of feats in successful lorg
ing. Borne of tfie bills were backed by several
acceptors, so that there might easily be as many
as a haif a dozen signatures on tfie &ame bill, yet
tfie bills were so perfect that not one of them was
questioned on the ground of tfie acceptance not
appearing genuine. But the men who tad exert
ed a skill, foresigLt aud perseverance sufficient
to iusure unhesitating acceptance of the forged
bills, could not escape one trivial blunder, which
the date ot acceptance had been omitted.
Inquiry was, of course, made of the firm w r hose
acceptance was thus undated. It was discovered
that the bill was not genuine, and the whole series
were then found to be forgeries. How much
further the plot might have been cariied it is im
possible fo say.
Advertisments are published cautioning bank
ers, brokers and all other persons against dealing
in a number of United States five twenty, ten
loity and iunded loan bonds, amounting iu tfie
aggregate to (237,000, they, it is alleged, having
been acquired out oi the profits of tfie forgery.
The loss to the Bank of England is stated at
£30,000. The Rothschilds are mentioned as one
of the firms on which the forged drafts were
drawn, but no other names are given.
Alpointment of West Point Cadet.—The
Telegraph and Messenger says that Gen. Phil.
Cook, representative in Congress, has appointed a
committee to examine all applicants lor the por
sition of padet iu the West Point Military Acade
my. The examining committee consists of Tjr.
Geo. F. Cooper and Professors Douglas and Ken
nedy, and will meet in Americus on the 20th of
next month, for the purpose of examining candi
dates for the appointment. They must reside in
the district, must be not lees than five fept high,
between seventeen and twenty years ot age, tree
from physical defects, and pass an examination in
reading and writing, in descriptive geography,
and the elements of English grammar.
We like the method ol selection here adopted
by General Cook. The appointment, subject to
the qualifications named, is in his hands, and he
might give it to any personal or family friend;
but, with true democratic instincts, he puts it be
fore all the young men of his district for free com
petition, without partiality, favor or affection. It
will go to the best man among the applicants, and
this is not • niy fair as to them, but it is in the
way of a fa.thlul discharge cf his duty to the
Government iu the premises.

It may be that tnis beautuulaud maguificeat Cap

loretend) aud nothing be left to mark it save
mouldering mounds of crumbling marble and

quietly on to the Atlantic, bearing upon its bosom
tue fruits of toiling thousands. Aud if any work
of art should rise over the deep ocean Time, we
may well believe that it will be neither a palace
nor a temple, but tome vast aqueduct, canal or
reservoir; aud it any name should flash through
the mist of antiquity, it would probably be that of
the man who in his day sought the happiness ot
flis fellow man rather than glory, ana linked bis

Sale el’tlie Statu Road.
A communication in the last issue of the Wash
ington Gasette, urges the sale of the Western and
Atlantic railroad if the lessees can be induced to
give up their lease, and the author of the article
thinks they can. The writer wishes the road Bold
in order to pay up the debts of the State ; and to
leave nothing lor the fattening of future Bullocks.
He recites the cost of the people of keeping up
the property before the lease, and declares that
the tai; payer* of the State arc too poor to “111-
dulge longer in that lusfury,” He thiuks that by
this plau the State can relieve tierself ol all finan
cial embarrassments, snap her fingers at Wall
streat, aud bid defiance to the fioiderg of tbe bogus
bonds.
We have noticed that the sale ol this road has
been urged from certain quarters of tbe State,
fretfi which the people of Georgia are cot dis
posed to take counsel without the strictest sciu
tiuy. it is rumored that Joseph Brown first inau
gurated the movement for the sale of the State
road, with the view to become the purchaser him
self. This would be a very nice little game to
play, for the ex-Guvernor, to (ill his capacious
money bags from the properly of the peeplo. We
apprehend, however, that the people of the State
will bo fully heard, aud will determine this mat
ter for themselves, after careful investigation, be
fore the roal disposed of.
Mulcicd.— The Sun publishes a list of the
folks who have lately beeu fooled by tire last
sawdust swindlers the New York police have
unearthed and broken up. It isapret.y long one,
and the profitableness of the scheme may be
judged of, when tyo say that the books of the
gang show that for one w'eek iu November last,
they scooped in #3,200 in ciesn cash. The swindle
is an old one, being nothing more than au invi
tation to the greenhorns of the country to buy
counterfeit notes at a tremendous discount, and
then good money being received, to send them a
box of sawdust in return.
We find no Georgians and very few Southerners
in the list which may be accounted for in two
ways: First, that they are either too “ careful”'
to engage in such business, or second, that they
haven’t the cash to risk. We incline to the latter
belief; for what with keeping their smoke houses
and corn cribs in the West, and working them
selves gray end bald, and killing their mules and
horses, making cotton to maintain the aforesaid
smoke houses and corn cribs on a sound financial
basis, they find themselves deucedly short all the
time, and for everything else. A few casual games
of “ draw ” are shout the only outside enterprises
they find themselves able to indulge in. There a
man has fotpe show for his money—provided his
early education has not been shockingly neglected,
of course.
Sumner and the Battle Flags.—lu a letter
written by W. C. Bryant of Florida, to J. G.
Whittier lately, on the vote of censure passed by
the Massachusetts Legislature, censoring Mr.
Sumner for his action on erasing from the battle
flags cei tain objectionable inscriptions, he says :
I am of your opinion that one who had bo
long and ably served Massachusetts, which I am
proud to call my native State, should not be sub.
jected to a public stigma for with a ma
jority of the {.legislature of the State, ia regard to
the words which are to be inscribed on the flags
ol the regular army. The vote o! censure I have
greatly regretted. It was hastily passed, and
obedience to an impulse ot the moment,
little delay would have ohengefi. 4 tseems to me
that it would be highly honorable to the Massa
chusetts Legislature if that measure were imme
diately rescinded—a step which, in my judgment,
is due to the charaetar of one who, whatever oc
casional mistakes he may have made, is a man of
exalted integrity and honor, whp has .enaered
eminent seryiceq tq the country, and who is au
example of public virtue to all who are entering
upon political life.
