HOME" AFFAIRS.
~WA<mqA., OCT. 11, 18M.
"Tbksonal.—Mr. Juo. D. Alexander, of the
Orifiin Sur, called on us this morning.
Don’t Forget the aale of Holmes A Clay’s
stable and lots. You are rarely offered a better
opportunity to make money.
Tub Musical Concert promises to be a rich
musical treat, judging from the preparations
that are being made. Remember it takes place
on the 18th.
The Pibumont ano Arlington.—We refer
our readers to the advertisement of this ster
ling Company. We know of no other that we
would recommend as cordially.
The Ice Factory. —lt is in contemplation
to remove the Macon Ice Factory from its
present location at the foot of Second Street
to a point on the Railroad near the Macon and
Brunswick Depot. It is said tliut this will
save many thousands of dollars in the way of
drayage, correcting a vital mistake made at the
time It was placed in its present position.
Social Dancing Acadbmt.—We call the
attention of our citizens to the opening of
Wm. DeUnanaga and Prof. Alimon's school
on to morrow (Saturday) afternoon 3 o'clock.
All their patron’s and old pupils are specially
Invited to meet them at that hour, and as many
othera as desire to learn this fashionable ac
complishment. Days of tuition, Wednesday,
Friday and Saturday, ?,}{ to s>i p. m. Young
ladies and gentlemens class instructed on
Monday, Wednesday aud Friday nights from
7>s to Let them have a large turnout.
Mayor’s Court. —When we gazed upon the
Mayor’s docket thin morning and enw the ab
sence of a single entry, we gave vent to tears.
Not at the loss of the items—oh, no, but the
reflection that our hitherto turbulent city as
suming an aspect of peaco and sobriety moves
us. In vain have we looked from Collinsville
for an item, but the ebon-hued police of that
section stalk abroad and midnight marauders
hide low. With a pensive smile we leave the
court room and sigh at the memory of the
fond moments speut therein. Such is life.
Killing of a Radical Hog, and a Demo
cratic Justification. —We met a northern
New York man last night traveling South for
no other reason as he alleged, “than the fun of
the thing.” When he got here he read nu
merous telegraphic reports of the recent elec
tions ; saw the Southern people much depress
ed, which he was sorry for, but still believed
all would come out precisely right in the end.
After stating that “Greeley’s chances in this
election were about as poor as the man’s horse
whose tail had to be tied into knot to keep him
from slipping through the cellar,” he said :
“I’m an unadulterated Democrat, but my dad
dy is jeat the other way—abolitionist before
the war, Radical after that, Radical now.—
When 1 was twenty I ran away from dad—was
gone three years, when I suddenly turned up
at home one morning. The old fellow looked
at me rather mad until I showed him plenty of
money I’d made, and a trunk full of good
clothes.
Upon that he determined to kill the fattest
hog he had. But there lived just across the
street an Irish Democrat by the name of Pat
Flannigan. Pat and dad were in the habit of
having their political discussions, and at three
different times came to blows.
After killing the fattest bog in honor ef my
return, he ordered just half of it to be hung
up above stairs to be cooked next day, and
the other to be taken to the cellar to bo pickled
and saved.
Next morning, quite early, I heard the old
man calling me lustily: " Joe, that Democrat
Irishman, Flannigan, has stolen that half of
that hog I intended to cook for you to-day, the
dirty, Democratic rascal; I always knowed
Democrats wouldn’t do to trust.” And the eld
man actually commenced crying.
“Dad,” said I, "I wouldn’t cry about that.”
“Why not?”
“If that Flannigan had been a Radical he
womld have stolen both sides."
The Bign Question. —We have received the
following communication from a citizen:
Mr. Jxxol: Our municipal authoritiea passed
an ordinance at their meeting Monday night,
compelling merchants and others to take down
all awns reaching across the sidewalk. In op
position to this measure I enter this protest in
behalf of my fellow-townsmen who have incur
red heavy expense In advertising their business
by means of ornamental signs extending across
the sidewalk. Ido not attempt to say that all
signs put up In this manner are ornaments to a
city, but will assert that had it not been for
those feeble attempts, the city would not now
be beautiried with the signs she now possesses.
Why should we not enjoy the same privileges
granted by other cities? New York, with her
crowded thoroughfares, can find room for signs
of all kinds. Likewise, Savannah, Augusta, At
lanta. and nearly every city of any magnitude in
the Union. Every citizen is aware that in no
instance is the business capacity of a city ao
wall exhibited as in the local advertisements dis
played in signs. A visitor or a resident always
look upon a man who advertises his wares as a
person thoroughly capable of prosecuting his
mmlneas.
Then why attempt to check that spirit of
enterprise, the result of which is to give in a
business reputation, encouragement to the ar
tist, and beauty to the city!
If our venerable city fathers desire a refor
mation in the way of sign-hanging let them do
away with unsightly awnings ana have them
eractcd in a uniform manner; regulate the
haicbt of signs, and dear the sidewalks of
auch obstructions as goods boxes, eta.
Signs hung at a proper height do not inter
fere with engines going or coming from fires.
This. I suppose was the objection In the mind’s
eve of the fond parent of the outrageous reso
lution in question.
t The improvement* just suggested, would,
|la the opinion of the subscriber, be a step in
the right direction and would not involve any
aacuniary lass to the business man, an object
that should alwaya be taken Into consideration
when legislating for the people.
But to be brief. As au set of charity to
those of our Aldermen who voted In the af
finnat.ve, 1 am compelled to think they moat
have indulged in stretches of imagination, by
which they were transported to the cob-web-
Man times of Charles n. from the disastrous
uArts of which they had not fully recovered
vNd in council Mtembled
Tropheaying that tu the final reading of the
resolution, they will ruc.msldcr their hasty aud
erroucous action, that the spirit of progressive
Industry will stimulate them to throw aside
ancient faml-m"**. *>7 80 doiu K allowing our
citizens to advance to the same standard of
uarfection which haa been attained by our sls
ter cities, I throw out these suggestions.
The thanks of our merchants and others arc
duo the Alderman who so warmly, but fruit
-1,-sslv defended our side of the sign cause, and
to him they are tendered by Justicb.

Thb Great Dkt Goons House of S.
Waxelbaum and Brothbil— This mammoth
Dr\ Goods House is truly one of the greatest
in all Ibc Southern country. We doubt if
there arc many which are more extensive on
the North American continent outside of New
York and Philadelphia, and even in those
cities there are not many carrying heavier
stocks or doing a larger trade.
Occupying the centre of Triangular Block—
running through from Second street to Cot
ton Avenue, and from cellar to roof, ikeir are
five grand divisions to tb*> establishment.
The cellars or ground rooms are used for
packing and unpacking goods for ail depart
ments and for the storage of Domesties.
The right hand floor above Is the chief whole
sale department, and here we find a ship load
of Prints, Domestics, Alpaceas of all colors,
Janes, Blcaehings, Shirtings, Stripes, Checks,
Giughums, Fancy Dress Goods, Red and Wldte
Flannels, Opera Flannels, Tickings, Brown
Coods, Corsets, Liuseys, Poplins, and so on,
running through the entire catalogue.
On the left is the general Retail Room, and a
busy scene it always presents, morning, noon
and night. It would be much easier to tell
what is not in there than what is. It contains
among other things the largest stock of silks
in Georgia—some of them running ns high as
SIOO per pattern. Our ladies can find anything
there from an Inch of ribbon to a cashmere
shawl.
The two floors above are set apart for ready
made clothing, boots, shoes, hats, shawls,
hosiery, gloves, linens, shirts, balmoral skirts,
cloaks, blankets, quilts and notions ad infini-
Utm.
But it is useless to call every article by name,
it would take up half the space in our paper.
Dealers must go and see for themselves. A su
perficial glance makes one think there is
enough on hand to supply the whole trade of
Macon for months to come, and yet so great is
the trade of the house, it is necessary to send
off new orders for fresh supplies almost every
day in the week. Scarcely a steamer leaves
New York for Savannah without having con
signments for “S. W. & 8., Macon.”
The Senior requests us to make the positive
statement as a fact that they sell at Keio York
prices.
We found the house this morning full of
country merchants and citizens, and every clerk
just as busy as he could be; and no wonder,
for such a 6tock as that will attract people to it
the dullest day in the week, and at this season
no one wishing to purchase will go by it.
A large capital, industry, the most scrupu
lous honor, and a long series of years devoted
to the business, has placed this house in the
front rand of Dry Goods Dealers in Georgia. It
is known far and wide as such and will continue
to be for a long time to come. oct9-3w

TERRIBLE TRAUEDT IB SA
VANNAH.
A Young .linn Shoots his Father
and then Commits Suicide.
llenri-rendiuir Scene.
Savannah, Oct. 11.—This morning bc
tweeu 10 aud II o’clock, Alexander Dil
lon, son of Mr. David R. Dillon, Banker,
entered liis father's office pale and evi
dently laboring under some uiontal excite
ment. He entered the back room of the
office where his father transacts his private
business. On seeing him his father
begun to reprimand him severely.
Tbe young man swore lie would not
put up witli such language, and in the
excitement of the moment drew his
pistol and tired at liis father three times,
one ball taking effect in tbe right arm,
one in the head and another in the thigh.
After committing this act lie shot himself
in the breast and expired in about twenty
minutes.
The wounds iutlicted on Mr. Dillon are
not dangerous.
Tlie mother on hearing of the fatul trag
edy rushed out of her house and ran down
the street to the office, screaming, and la
menting, abusing and threatening the
father for what she supposed to bo ids
own net. On rcuching the office, she en
deavored to get iu tlie room where Mr.
Dillon, was, but was refused. She then
entered tlie room where tho dead body
of her sou lay. Tlie scene that followed
beggars description.
All the agonized feelings of a bereaved
mother were given free vent to. She wailed
over tlie lifeless body of her sou, and with
tearful eyes and heavy groans kissed his
cold lips.
There wus hardly a dry eye among the
crowd that thronged the streets. Mr. Dil
lon sat in his office until his wounds were
dressed.
Coroner Shcftall visited the scene of
tragedy at noon to-day aud held an in
quest over the body of young Dillon. Tlie
verdict rendered, after a patient examina
tion of witnesses, was that deceased came
to his death by a pistol-shot wound indict
ed by his own hand. Unohoo.

'l’lli: GEORGIA REM I.T.
The Democratic and Liberal majority
in Georgia is about 50.000. So heavy a
majority against Radicalism in a State
whose total population is only 1,184,104
is remarkable and significant; but an
analysis of it reveals another fact still
more interesting. Of tho total population
of Georgia 038,002 aro whites, and 545,-
142 are colored —the white excess being
only 03,820. If tlie whites should vote
one way and ail tlie calored men another,
Hie excess of whites in tlie population
would exhibit a majority of voters of
about 48,000. But it seems from the re
turns that the actual Democratic aud Lib
eral majority is nearly three times this—
showing that a considerable number of
the colored voters must have either ab
stained from voting, or voted with the
Democrats and Liberals. If the other
Southern States shall exhibit a similar re
sult in November—if even a small pro
portion of tlie colored voters in Missis
sippi, Florida, Louisiana and Arkansas
should abstain from voting, or vote for
Greeley, Grant will lose every Southern
State except South Carolina. This would
bring Greeley aud Brown up from tlie
South witli 140 electoral votes out of tlie
whole number, 3G6 ; and they would need
to get only 44 additional votes iu tlie
Northern States to have a majority.
That Greeley aud Brown will conic up
from the Soutli with this great array of
strength, is not so improbable as it seem
ed to be a month ago. The heavy Demo
cratic and Liberal majority in Georgia
shows that Grunt is losing ground amongst
liis own partisans at tho South, and Hint
the public sentiment of the intelligent
classes in that region is overwhelmingly
against him, with nothing but u languid
negro sentiment to support him. Look
ing at the Southern States in the light of
tlie Georgia election, Soutli Carolina is
the only one of those States tliut can he
certainly claimed for him.— St. Louis Jie
