And ho who imagine* that lie ritn wheel tlio poo pie of Georgia liaekward, and dupe them into uu unworthy retrogudn movement, 1* counting on a vain procedure, ami tint (•ring hi* hypocrisy with the usual palav er of thick vanity. It I* uo honor to a man, who can say of hiumclf “I never change air!" Iu u world, yet in it* in fancy, surrounded by mysicile* for which we have, as yet, discovered no mimes, be cause we know so little of themselves; und experimenting, like so many children 111 the philouopy and science of Govern ment,—he who begets so overweening pride in himself u to refuse to lcnrn or to advaucc, la a worthy object, of forgetful ne, not to ay contempt. The age will pas* him by without a notice. Great thoughts will purify tlio world in advuucc of him. I’lluciplc*. long Ignored, ar Ju*t discov ered, newly adjusted ami lllthigly applied, will lead onward the aspiring nation to ward those general law* of rights, liberty and peace, which have been the alluring dream of every past age. It wo* a dictum of Faraday, a man of great learning, great devotion to science, and of great indepen dence, that "the only man who ought real ly to be looked upou a* coutemptlblo Is the mau whose Ideas are not In a constant stale ol transition." in tlio vast zone of civilization phe nomena abound, to trace, aualize, and in terpret which, the most extraordinary tiausitlous of thought and conviction have occurred, In the life of a single honest man Wo are iwild to soy that the phe nomenon of civilization Is civil govern ment—a government such as ours pur port* to be, deriving its powers directly from the governed We say it is a pho uotnenon —ami is by no means well drtined, Interpreted, or established. Transition is the law of discovery and of progress, ami transition must characterize tlis ideas, principles, convictions, ami governments iu a free counfry and among a people whose rights ate equal. To retire a \ ast people from an advanced position is the most ditlieult task ever un dertaken, ami lias never hcru successfully done. Those of our leaden, therefore, uho talk flippantly nnj learnedly of "working for au emergency," or accepting the aitna tion for the time Itclng ,"or, "u temporary coaliliou to couijuor,"—kuow uothing of the laws of progress or of mind. They prove their uuworthiness to lead and their i uahility to follow. If they wore power ful, they could do intiuite hurt, but as it is, they aervo the purpose of stationary pi per* —blind and indigent, while the tramp of (bo marching millions shakes the grouud on which they stand. They will soon be left behind. Like Lot's wife—they will mark the desert plain—monuments of steadfast er ror-pillar* of unsavory salt. l'n. W. K. Ml'KSKtr. —Every reader of newspaper literature has heard of Dr. Muuse.v, the most siugularly gifted of American orators. The pow er of thl* man over masses of men, the electric flash of hi* eloquence, are thing* that battle ail description, aud put at fnult the most distinguished critics. A telegram to the editor of the Kntkh. J'liisK from l)r. Muuscy, conveys the wel come intelligence that he will pas* through Macon during the latter part of this w evk, and has consented to deliver one lecture before our citizen*. Arrangements have been accordingly made, aud the lecture will be delivered next Saturday evening at the Kirst Street Church. An admiration fee will be charged of fifty cents, children half price. To see and to hear the greatest Jiving American orator is a treat in store for our citizen* { ■ Eli: Tlttinu N I*l KIT. Grant leaders arc doing what they can lo destroy Horace Greeley's record of de votion lo tho colored race, before, during, and since tho war. The purpose I" hold the colored race for Graut, and to have them do an ever lasting Injustice to one, to whom, more than any other man, they arc indebted for their emancipation. It was Horace Greeley who first dc dared the necessity of litrerating the slaves. It was lloraeo Greeley who first declared that the war would end with the emanci pation of the slave. It was Horace Gree ley who first urged relations of amity and friendship between the negroes und their lam owners, as a matter of principle and polity. It was Horace Greeley * letter on iho importance of emancipation that drew forth President Lincoln* proclamation, mid the subjoined letter. Now, if the white people of Ilia South can unite with this same, unchanged Hor ace Greeley, and, under his leadership, toil urn! sacrifice for a good government, the establishment of equal light*, and the promotion of industry and pence , what shall bo thought of tho colored man who arrays himself on the other side, und voles against the man, who not only secured his freedom, hut reconciles his white fel lowclllzcns to the fact and its consequen ces T * Let there thought* go out to our colored citizens. Let them ponder und discuss them. Let them argue against them, If they can. But as they value freedom and peace, let them bcwaie how they turn against the hand of God and Justice MH.

Kx-Govcrnor Brown, discusses nt lengtli and ably the issues of the present campaign, and shows that real inte rests of every Georgian is with the triumph of the Democratic or Greeley and Brown candidates. His words ate wholesome and sound As the Democrats and Liberal Republi can* stand side by side upon the same platform, und support the same candidate for the Presidency, and their interests arc identical, it seems to follow that they must in future, act together And as the Dem ocratic party of the Uaion has thought proper to accept the LiberqJ Republican platform with its candidates, it seem* to mo ti e Liberal Republicans should not by re fusing to support Democratic candidat i for State offices, throw obstacles in the way of cordial co-opcrutioii und union. You inquire specially what will be our action in the Gubernatorial election. I re p'v that I am not actively engaged in pol itics, and have no authority lo speak for others , hut i expect to give my support to Gov Smith ns the Greeley and Brown can didate. It seems to me this is the only enn sistance course I can pursue. And iu Miis ci nneclion, I feel that Justice requires I should remark, that the Grant convention, in the nomination of the Hint Dawson A Walker, selected the very lie-t limn of their parly in the State. lam l.i* personal friend, and I believe he is mine. Our acquaintance Im* been long and in lunate, and I know him to he mi honest, Capable man. who would til I tho position ably and wi 11, if elected. it he were the Llierul candidate, it would alford me great pleasure to support him. While I drum it an act of Justice to say thi* in ref erence to Judge Walker 1 claim equal in tegrlly, ability and capacity for Governor Smith. As he is Iho nominee of the party woo supports Greeley and Brown, and in Ids letter of acceptance pledges himself Individually to their support; while Judge Walker is the nominee of the Grunt und Wilson party, and is pledged to their sup port; it seems to me to he the natural course, for all who desire tho election of Greeley and Brown, to east their suffrage for Governor Hmitli. His ele;‘ion will be hailed by tbc Democrats and Liberal Re publicans of the Union as a Greeley and Brown triumph in Georgia; while the election id Judge Walker would ha bailed us-a Grant ami Wilson triumph. t HtitAp.iitkiarr. Tim Dublonega Signal newspaper, utter announcing that it was published on the 12th day of September, 1872, and that “ Jury tickets would bo taken at pur for subscriptions, advertisements aud job work, ut this office,” has a man by (lie namo of llesser, who agrees that if liis constituents will elect him to tho Senate. I will pledge myself to appropriate all my salary, except two dollars a day, to be divided between the three counties—for the benefit of the people as they may sec lit.” According to the salary which Bes ser will receive if divided per capita be tween the people of llie “three counties" each ouo would get about lialf-a cent back. If they don't vote for him after that, they will allow themselves too stupid to enjoy the rights of self-government. Eufaula is not in Georgia hut Shrop shire is a sort of Georgia Alabamian, lie heard "an intelligent lady telling her little sou yesterday that an extensive carriage ami harness manufacturer lmd recently returned from New York and brought home a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.” Tho Lumpkin Independent Local culled a man over there a fool, and his name was Harris. After which Harris appeared in a Convention and showed himself more familiar with parliamentary usage than any other luuu iu the concern." Conse quently the mild remark is withdrawn.” After that test Jefferson's and Cushing's Manuels ought to meet with rapid sale. The Lumptonians also have a joke pass ing around town. Now here is u stream of water twenty steps across, twenty feet deep, a bundle of fodder on one side and a jiu-kass on tho other. How cun that jack go straight across that stream and get that bundle of fodder without getting his feet wet * "1 give it up ” And so did the other jackass. The Atlanta Herald, In its 24th number, announces tho melancholy fact that the Democratic party of the United States, which is now nearly one hundred summers old, has no more sense than it ought to have. And that fractional part of it which belongs to tlio young State of Georgia, which met iu Atlanta the other day in mass meeting “numbered no more than 500,"and tho meeting • was a perfect fizzle.” The Herald settles effectually tho duties and tho results of this campaign, as follows : “Mr, Greeley must withdraw from his candidacy and O’Conor, or some equally popular man, he suppoited by the De mocracy In his place, or the rc-slectiou of Grant is Inevitable. It may, as a general rule, be an unwise act to swap horses while crossing a stream, .but when your horse cannot breast the cflrrent swapping is most judicious aud is necessary for self preservation." This should at once be telegraphed to Horace Greeley, and should he still refuse to come down, let tho dire consequence rest upon his head, llut Greeley once said something about -block heads.'’ The proceediugs of the meeting occupy about five columns in the papers of the Gate City Owing to sickness iu tho family and a press of job work"—we arc compelled to defer details until next week.

The followikg letter to the Mikado re veals a sound Lead and a good heart belonging to a distinguished philosopher and statesman Hhimudzu Haboro, wlio is now in re tirement at Kagoßima, lias written the following letter to the Mikado. Last year Iwukurn was sent to tihimadzu to en deavor to induce him to leave his retire ment and lake an important position under government, but he refused on the ground that he had no faith in the wisdom of the government as then conducted. His opinion does not seem to have ultered materially since then: — THE AVGUST STUDIES OK TIIE MOST IL LUSTRIOUS. The establishment of national principles of action and tho execution of the laws The adoption of a system of dress and strict regulation of the outward man. The reform of learning. 'I ke careful selection of human talent. The careful conduct of foreign relations and the establishment of a clear distiiic lion between the right of Japanese and foreigners. The cultivation of a military spirit and tlio reform of the army laws. The establishment of a clear distinc tion between the rights of noble ami mean. The banishment of greed, the prizing of virtue, the rejection of deceitful arts and the reverencing of truthfulness. The strict prohibition of debauchery, and the establishment of a strongly marked line between the sexes The right of all to address the Sov ereign. Tho careful judgment of disputes and rightful apportioning of reward and pun islunen t. The lightening of taxes und the abate ment of burdens. The cureful -calculation of income and expenditure. The above paper contains n summary of the opinions held by Y’our Majesty's ser vant during many years, und lie enter tained them at the time of his sjiort visit to the capital four years ago (1869), but, finding no convenient opportunity for ex pressing them, and not being favored cither witli Your Majesty’s gracious inter rogation, lie was obliged to be silent. And now lie has, in Y’our Majesty’s tour, been fortunate enough to worship the heavenly countenance, and lie can no longer refrain from giving vent to liis humble sentiments. In this critical moment lie can no longer sit by nud look on with indilfcrencc at passing events, and though he is now con vinced that Your Majesty cannot adopt liis retrograde and unenlightened views, still lie feels that a convenient occasion will perhaps never offer itself again, and he ventures to make this atirupt represen tation, Ho most humbly apologizes for his audacity, but tlio fact is that by your Majesty's present system 1 of government the fortunes of this country are daily de clining, tlio imperial lino, which should last forever and ever, is in danger of fall into the vice called republicanism, and he can see as clearly as in a mirror that Japan will eventually become a dependency of the Western barbarians, lie can only sigli and weep. Y'our servant Qisnmitsu awaits any pun ishment for liis audacity and want of rev ernnee in speaking thus freely. Respectfully represented with real fear, and real awe and prostrations.
