We can see but one clou 1 that is likely lo pro duce frourde, or mar our progress in the future ; and that is Bullock’s fraudulent issue of bonds. If this question Is settled by the n-’Xt L -gislature, the horoscope of her fu'ure is clear aud her great ness certaiu. The people of Georgia have reason to congratu late tbemselve* upon their conditiou, especially when compared with her sister States of tue South. 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 Congressional manners, the Washington corres pondent cf the New Turk Tribune says there are rwo members of the House, from a State not far away Irom Washington, who pave been fa a con stant condition of intoxication for several days past.

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 will be a great commercial artery, through which the iile-blood ol the country will flow, and which Will join together a people who has been separated iu feeling, because they Knew so little ot taco other. It such ends can be accomplished by means like this, then can il tiuiy be said that— “ Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war.’’ Seldom has it ever oceu red in the history of any people that woi k like this, when once finisned, has ever been allowed to crumble and decay. It wiil stand when works dedicated to the merely beautilul have passed lrom the face of man. it has beeu said that the tomb of Moses 13 unknown, but the traveller iu the Holy Land may yet slake his thirst at the well ot Jacoo. The gorgeous palaces of the wisest and wealthiest of monarch*, with ced rr, aud gold and ivory, and even tne Great Temple ol Jerusalem, hallowed by the visible glory ol tte Deity Himself, a;e goue, but Bolo utou’6 resovoirs are as perfect as ever.

The columns of Perscpolts are mouldering into dust, but. its cibterus aud aque ducts remain to challenge our admiratiou. The golden house of Nero is a mass ot ruins, but the Aqua Claudia still pours its limpid streams into the city oi Home. The Tempie ol the Sun at Tadmor, in the wilderness, has fallen, but its lountaius still sparkle in its rays as when thous ands oi worshippers thronged Us lolty colonades. It may be that tnis beautuulaud maguificeat Cap itol may share the late ot Babylon, (which Heaven loretend) aud nothing be left to mark it save mouldering mounds of crumbling marble and brick work, but the beautilul Potomac still flows 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 memory to some great work of national utility. 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.

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. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in referring to Grafit’g continued acts of despotism, says • President Grant is carryiug out the civil service regulations iu New Orleans. He is taking care of his own j household. Brother-in-law Casey was, it is said, invited by President Grant to resign before his re-election, but after LU r . g’cetioa, brother-in* law Casey was pquUuated to be Collector at New ! r l e l n S- 4 s the civil ouviee rules require the I President to do as he pleases, he has iuithfuily observed them in this instance. It matters little that brother-ic-law Casey has been implicated iu notorious abuses iu Louisiana—sneh trifi rg and common practices as bribery, t tc.— <j ; u4i g as he is a brother in-isw Uruttt teems to observe the hpifjl of the civil service ret,ul.iUi>LS, as the pub lic understands those rules, according to the law of alternation.
