MACON DAILY ENTERPRISE *i\.. o t.o. W. W tTKIN lllfit*. Editor. In the government prosecutions at At lanta Hie prisoners, despairing of justice, have waived an examination and given bonds in 13,000 each to appear at the next term of the U. 8. District Court.

"Good Cord deliver us 1" - ■ Tuk Atlanta Constitution has this to say of its excellent self The average circulation of The Constitu tion, daily, for the three months, ending October Ist, exceeded three (3,000) thou saud. We me very much encouraged. Our Atlanta blends must do better Ilian Unit, or we shall make a slatctueut that will confuse their figures Tun Ktactions Yrstruiiat.—Wo t un not otrer our readers much ground to hope that the elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio und Indians, have gone iu the interests of lieacc, fraternity, nud good government. The meagre dispatches now at hand are rather lugubrious. Still they may lie too anxious to he correct. U> tell the triitli, wc have known such freaks to he made by collators of telegraphic news. Jly to morrow we shall know definitely, und we must prepare ourselves to swallow bitter pills without chewing them, und work, believe, nud wait for brighter skies Tiie Bt. IjOUI* Faiu.—This great in stitution is fully under way. We learn from the ltepubllcan, that Mr. IS. C. Van eey A Ron, and Mr. C. 11. Pendleton of < ieorgia, are In attendance. The following are the names of Georgia cotton growers who liuvc entered for the grout prize G. Y. Banks, Macon, U< I’ Jones, Iluudon ; P. G. Holt, Jr., Macon , Mr*, ltuukln, Columbus , J,J.

We hope ail will secure prizes mid ilia tinguished mention. —■< ■ Sunday Bciiooi, JjTkit atiiic.—There has diiftcd to our table within a few days, two seemly and attractive publications for juvenile readers—liotli Issued from Indian apolis, Indiana One is called "The l.it tie Sower," anil the other, "The Morning Watch"—edited respectively by W. W. Dow ling und Win. D. Worth. They arc beautifully printed, finely illustrated, and admirably writlcu. If any of our young jemlers, or Situday Huliikil liieuds are in need of such helps and companions, (and w ho docs not waul them?! wc advise them to communicate with tlia editors, who will doubtless 'ake pleasure in making acqunlu lances in Georgia. Du. AnNOt.fi.—The Bcholur and livud master of Higliy School, used to sny "Unit difference of opinion gives me hut little concern ; lmt it is u real pleasure to tic brought into communication with one who is In earnest, und who really looks to God's w ill un Ids standard of right and wrong, and judges of actions according to their greater or loss conformity." Hero we have the secret of hit great ness, who shone for so many years In (tie firmament of intellect and morals with Increasing brightness, and died, honored and beloved by nil civilized people. Tli* tint principle in lie science of true manhood nml life, is toleration of oilier men's opinions, nml whenever this lesson is indeed lcnrneil, the greatest obstacle in the way of genuine progress is removed. ■ ■ ■ Col, .lonics ok tiik Tki.Rorai*ii. — Our readers will find n very interesting nolo from our friend Col. II 11. Jones of thw Telegraph and Messenger, in another column. It will besecu that there was no mitlnke in our rejxirt, ns to what Mr. Fitzpatrick said, hut It seems we re|H>rled but Mr Joues. Jones was the name given and Mr. Fitzpatrick said what we reported him as saying, lint there arc many Jourscs, trad they art 1 not nil connected with the Telegraph nml Mrs senger, nor are they all ns clever ns our excellent friend The fact is tre ate par tly a J oues. Our grandmother was a Jones—one of the Welsh Joneses, lines! deeeendcnls of the original old commodore of the Hoy at Navy, aud we have no Idea of "going liack" ou our relations—rich or i>oor, whether they aro editors of new -.papers or residents of Twiggs county. In good earnest, we insert Col. Jones's card with the greatest pleasure I*. B.—Since reading Col. Jones' card iu prooi, we owe it to ourselves to say, that, in conversation with Col. Joues, he distinctly called to mind that Mr. Fitz patrick did use the words attributed to him in our report, iu answer to the Colon*!, to-writ; “You attacked my character iu a cowardly aud ilamtiablc manner, and I owe you five dollars for allowing me a reply in your paper," but not as charg ing Colonel Jones jiersonatlp with hav ndiug attacked his character, except by a- mining into hi* columns the article com plained of. and which, wo leant from Col. Jonaa. was charged for as an advarUsc monl. Wdo not dispute the poiut for a moment. We were too far front the speaker to catch all hi* word*, and gave cerbatim those that we distinctly heard. Our report, therefore, was not "based tipau an entirely erroneous statement of the facts as they really transpired," <it Mr. Filrinttruk't mwtiiij, but as they really < \ieted on the hooks of the Telegraph aud M< Huger, of which, we. as a matter of couMptaW not he cognizant We per some Oakwcl kM isAst to the latter class of Diets, and not to our report of what transpired It may tie well to state that our method of taking down speeches i* atenographtr A II 111.14'.

"It mover," cried the philosopher, uml lie was the victor over nil opposing words and works, I hough he stood alone nnd suf fered. The mult who seen it move, whether it Ik* n prinicplo or n life, and who moves with it, Is the ice re My successful man, however untoward his outward surround ings und circumstances may he. A good heart within, a brave spirit, un honest conscience, and an advancing mind —these are the machinery of personal nnd uni versal civilization, tuid these move the man and all things Theic is an undefin able delight in the soul of a genuine man, ouo who is unselfish and honest in all his thoughts and actions. His blood is pure— lie is a nobleman, his sphere is cloudless over head, Ids future is one interminable horizon of light, and the great God is his companion. To move forward in life and duty—is In move ull things upward. Is is ltuskin or Spencer who says "He is only advancing in life whose heart is get ting sorter, whose blood wanner, whose brain i|iiickor. whose spirit is entering into living peace." No matter, by whom said. It is good to Say nnd to absorb. . Tine New York Herald is responsible for the following choice bit of religious wit, which it purports to extract from that juicy Christian nondescript philosopher, Henry W. Bellows, the editor of the Lib eral Christian. Men who can address the Saviour of Mankind as "Mr. Jesus Christ," are capable of btirlcsqeiiing his divinest sayings The Liberal Christian (Hev, Dr. Bel lows) portrays a burlesque, entitled “Peed my Sheep." The principal actors are the itev. Mr. Slratchaway. the Hev. Sir. Per sistent Dullard, young Mr. Karnest Faith ful, the Hev. Mr Ko-nack. the Hev. Mr. Take-it easy, and the Hev Mr. Livonian. It is a satire, and certainly a very amusing one to those who know what it is all about. On the stage it would tie a failure, but in the pulpit or iu the lecture room one can hardly say what would come of it—unless it should be upon the universal prlmlM ie Hint nothing shall lie damned. PRESS ECHOES [From Hie Carroll county Times 80HUY HUT IKU'EKt 1. We uie sorry to announce the sail tact that Carroll, the old Democratic county, she who has always stepped to the front with a democratic majority has gone ltad teal! Point uot the linger of scorn at her, ye sister comities. She is far more ashamed of it than you arc Wc enu but say that each party has got its just deserts. The thoroughly organized Radical pat ty has been wide awake during Uie cam paign, working with a zeal worthy of a better cause. Ou yesterday Uiey rallied Uieir party to a man they brought in the "blind, lame, mained and halt,” they vo ted convicts who had served their time in a chain gang, aud they voted over two hundred It. K negroes who claimed Uieir homos In various parts of Uie State and who had on that ground refused to pay tox or work their roads in this county. These negroes were most faltMVdlv drilled. Never have we Men so many young col ored votes who were just past t wenty oue. Twelve iu oue *i*d swore Uiat they arrived at that age in last June The Radicals gave them a barbecue on the day of the eleeUou, Uieu marched them up and voted them to a man. Our Kail road ha* been a dearly bought one, if it is to give us Hadicai office' holders All this time the Democrats have lain idle and inactive—widely divided iu their own vote. Many ot the poor weak kuecd, chicken hearted, soil shelled brethren, were gulled aud deceived by questions raised by the Kad's themselves that were really no use at ail. Mea who six mouths ago swore they would die before they would vote' the Hadicai ticket were seen arming negroes to the poll* and voting with them. All this, merely through prcjudico to Mr. Candlay, not love o( Long or bis party. Well, we have one sud consolation, 'twus Democrats that elected leing. his parly is not strong enough to do it The inde fatigable industry of the Radical nominee, carried the election for its man hut it couldn't for Governor. From the Tlionsaatoo Herald.) Three times Three. Three cheers for the Dexmcracy of Ueoiioia I Hadicai* Hats, with your sore tails to your holes! Hide out carpet-hag thieves and Scalawags ! or take your dir ty "dads” and still more dirty conciencee to some other land! Lie down Bullock, in your durk dungeon mid bleach your coun tenance w hich has turned ebon from the exudations of a foul and filthy heart! Let us rejoice in the fact that Democracy lias a four years lease of power on our glorious old State. Let us feel latter, for the fact that Georgia's escutcheon will present the phase of hone ly and good government. Let us put salve to our sides and soon heal the gorcings of the Bullock, and re cover what went to Mr. Amos T. Aker inan. Let us feci that we have crossed over the lied Sen and the bondage of Ty ranno-Hadiealism no longer hinds our limbs. Let us sing, inarch on I march on 1 'till we route the Congressional ene my and gain possession of the Presidential heights. From the Ht Louis Jtcptildh an. j NO OFFICE Foil M-lIItOEK. The Grant party seam to have an unut terable horror of tlie negro, notwithstand ing all their pretended affection for him. They refused to nominate n single one of the 20,0U0 colored men in llie State ou their State ticket. they have not yet nom inated one on their congressional ticket; and there is no sign of their nominating one on their county ticket in this county. The hypocrites profess a great admiration for the negro olliciuls in the South; but they do not think that negro officials are good enough for the respectable Radicals ef Missouri. They need the black man's vole, but after he has cast bis vote for u ticket he is not represented on, they have no further use for him till the next elec tion. Colonel H. 11. Jones to the Enterprise. Macon, October !), IW7II. lice. Jlr. Hicks —Sin : I have to request as un net of simple justice that you would allow me to correct that portion of your report of Air. Fitzpatrick's speecli ou Monday night which lias reference to my self. Your report says Uie speaker in quired, "Who interrupts me f” “Jones— Colonel Jones, of the Telegraph nnd Mes senger." “Well, I will answer Air. Jones, etc., etc." Again, you assert "Mr. Fitz patrick was interrupted by Colonel Jones, of the Telegraph mid Alessenger, whose words we could not catch,except ‘ Fitzpatrick owed the r c”cgrapli and Ales .....ger live dollars, which he was request ed to settle.” "I owe you five dollarsV 1 do; you attacked my character in a cow ardly and damnable manner, aud I owe you five dollars for allowing a reply in your paper, etc." Iu your editorial no tice likewise you remark, "Considerable bandying of words was indulged between Colonel Jones, of the Telegraph and Mes senger, and other citizens, and the ‘Pri vate Irish gentleman.'” The above report is based upon an en tirely erroneous statement of the facts ns they really transpired, though it is not charged that the niisrepresentatiun was in tentional. Mr. Fitzpatrick was interrupted several times by a gentleman a few feet removed from me, and when the question was put, "Who interrupts me?" he replied "Jones of Twiggs." The speaker did not hear the last word, nnd looking in that direc tion ami seeing me, supposed 1 was the person sought after. He then called my name repeatedly nml said lie would an swer any questions propounded. 1 replied "I have nothing to say except that you owe my office $5 ami should (1113- it.” "What do 1 owe it for," he inquired? "1 don’t remember, but tiie charge is on the books.” He then said it was “for pub lishing Ins reply to tiie statements of a man who was a d’nd rascal.” Mr. Fils patrick did not affirm that I had written or concocted that statement, as he knew ttiat the name of the policeman who wrote the article was appended to it. Both communications his antagonists ns well as his own, were charged us regular adver tisements. Not another word did 1 address to tiie speaker ou that night and not a syllable did 1 utter of it political or a controver sial character. The interference in point ot fuel was with me, as all the bystanders will testify—uot even afterwards did the allusions lo tho paper I in part represent, provoke a word of reply from me. I felt it was Mr. Fitzpatrick's meeting and lie had a right to be heard. Immediately after the colloquy men tioned, the true author of the "interrup tions’ came forward nnd npoligized for tiie accidental use of a name identical with my ow n, stating that he meant no person al allusion, and did not even know 1 was present. The name lie gave was a ficti tious one. Please do me the justice to Insert the above corrections to the mis takes made. 1 am sure through inadver tence only. Respectfully, 11. 11 .Jones — RAILROAD WAR IN GEORGIA. Arrest of the Sheriff of Dade for Ob structing the United States Mails— State and Federal Governments at Outs. It appears ilnm recent advices from Georgia that tiie Georgia Slate Govern ment and the Federal authority are about to contlict upon a question of jurisdiction, regarding the control of the Alabama aud Chattanooga railroad. Some time ago this road, as was to Ire ox pec ted under t lie fi nancial pressure which was felt so heavily in the Southern States immediately after tbe war, became involved to such an ex tent. notwithstanding Its assistance from tlio Stale, that it became insolvent. The Georgia State Government, owning con siderable stock In the road, had its situa tion considered by the State Courts, the result of which was the appointment of a receiver in the interests of the State of Georgia. The company, however, not satisfied with this state of affairs, carried the ques tion into the United States Court. The effect of this move was the appoint ment of receivers by Justice Bradley, who 1 issued processes to the United States uiar- t shuts to give possession to said receivers. Iu consequence of tiiis a train bearing the marshals who wore to take posses sion for the receivers, started to Trento" from Chattanooga yeslei Jay moruiug. It appears also that the only portion of Georgia through which the read runs is Dade county, which, ou account of the independence of it* people, has been termed the State of Dade. The Sheriff of this county with a |>oase enforced the or der of the State courts by stopping the trains that entered that county, thus pre cluding the possibility of travel, and keep ing them ut Trenton. When the train bearing tbe United States mar-hula arriv ed at that place warrants nud injunctions were served on the Sheriff und his posse, and the State authorities were enjoined to interfere no more with the road. The Sheriff and Ids posse were taken into custody for obstructing the United States mails. The people of Dade, who have, many of them, judgments against the road, seem lo have thought that by assisting the State to enforce his lien, they were iu a fair way to secure their own. The prob ability is, however, that now that the Uni ted States authorities, backed by the Uui ted States troops, have taken the matter in hand, the Dadeitos will give up the light, notwithstanding the boast that there ure 500 aide bodied men in Dade who are w il ling to enforce the order of Governor Smith. it is to lie hoped that Georgia will not resort to physical force to secure her light. The appeal to arms was made once before and failed. Besides, the Radicals would ask nothing better tbau a pretext to raise the cry of rebellion, no matter -whether well-founded or not. — Louisville Ledger. NEW A DVERTISEMENTS Stable and Stock Sale.

TO EVERYBODY AND HIS CHARMING WIPE I epilAT all-important event, the election, having passed away, and the “ times that tried men’s A. souls” have merged Into the "piping times of peace”; and Winter haa been ushered in among twitter of birds and music of the leaves as they fall to the ground ; and the Summer hav ing faded away and the weather reduced to something agreeable, I have to announce to my nu merous aud beloved patrons that I have recently returned from an extended trip to New York, Philadelphia, Poughkeepsie and Weehassan, and other celebrated markets, where I purchased, and have now iu my store, the largest lot of “GOODIES!” Ever brought to Maeon, consisting in part of Sugar, Coffee, New York Canvassed Haras and Breakfast Bacon, Lard, Butter, Canned Fruit, Jellies, Pickles, Raisins, Nuts, Apples, Lenioni, Cabbages, Onions, Potatoes, Crackers, Cheese, Spiced Hams, Bologna Sausages, and—well, it would bike me all day to write what 1 have got, und it would fill this paper so full that Smith wouldn’t have a local for u week.

The finest Fish, fresh and on ice, is kept by me, and sold at living rates. In view of the fact that the people of Macon, and those visiting Macon, are determined to eat whether they get anything good or not, 1 have prepared inyself for the emergency, by making ample arrangements to have my DINING TABLES Supplied witli the very best this and other markets can afford. That popular dish, "Birds on Toast” being my own invention, the people can always find the same at my restaurant. To gether with my "polite corps of waiters, this branch of my business will receive the patronage of all of my old customers, und, 1 hope, many new ones.
