Trial Postponed. Etc., Etc. A tremendous crowd of people of both color, were in attendance at the Commissioner’s Court this morning. At 11 o’clock, l nited States Deputy Marshal Seifert, declared the Court open for the transaction of business. After some consultation between Attorney General Farrow and the counsel for the accus ed, the former gentlemen advanced and said: “May it please the Court, I am informed that several counsel are absent from the city and are not likely to return before to-morrow, and as it would be impossible from presoot in dications to transact the business in the last two days of the week, and as I wish to be home on Sabbath; and as lam also reminded of the fact that an election for a Congressman from this district on Tuesday next, I would suggest, witli the permission of the Court to declare a recess until next Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock.” The Court making no objection the recess was declared in due form. The following are those that have been ar rested up to the hour of going to press to-day: GeoW Gustin, A. F. Collins, Frank M Heath, Willis Price, Fred Abel, TlicoW Ellis, Ed L Strolieeker, Geo F Cherry, W. H. Ross, Matt Thojpten, The following is a section of the En force meat Act; Chap. CXIV., See. s.— And be it further en acted, That if any person shall prevent, hinder, control or intimidate, or shall attempt to pre vent, hinder, control or intimidate any person from exercising, or in exercising the right of suffrage, to whom the right of suffrage is se cured ur guaranteed by tlie fifteenth amend ment to the Constitution of the United States, by means of bribery, threats, or threats of de priving such person of employment or occupa tion, or of rejecting such from rented house, land, or other property, or by thieatsof re fusing to renew leases on contracts lor labor, or by threats of vilence to himself or family, such person so offending shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and shall, on conviction thereof, be fined not less than five hundred dol lars, or be imprisoned not less than one month and not more than one year, or both, at the discretion of the Court. Dancing Academy.—Remember the School 1 to-morrow afternoon. Hours for Misses 10 to 12 o’clock, and for gents and young ladies 3% to 5% on Saturday, Federal Troops. —A squad of Federal sol diers are encamped near the gas house, having come into the city last night. They were part of the party who arrested the Wilkinson Cos., KuKlux. They leave to-night for Atlanja. Surrehct. —The excitement created by the appearance of ghosts, etc., at Surrency, has abated to a considerable extent, and the people generally pronounce it a genuine humbug. Several gentlemen will give it a visit next Sat urday night, and proceed to further investiga tions. g JCircussical. —The paste-brush brigade were enguged this morning in making picture prim ers of all the walls and bill-boards of the city. These pictures represent the champion show man, Jimmie Robinson, and his circus. They will perform here on the first and second of November. Less than a Dollar. —Seeing is believing, and if you were to iaspect the thousand and one articles that ornament the store of our hand some friend Pike, you would be surprised to learn that any of them can be purchased for the uniform price of ninety cents. Just think of ninety cents for a linen shirt! Still it is true and how Pike manages to make a living by selling so wonderfully cheap we can’t for the life of us tell. He can’t steal ’em for he is al ways at his post; they can’t be given to him, tor fools don’t grow on trees; he can’t pay the talue for them or else he’d break. Then why U it! The reason is plain :he sells for cash and keeps first rate stock. • A Success. —We are glad to learn that the accomplished teachers of dancing, Madame Delanunaga and Professor Allmonn, are meet ing with much success in organizing classes. The dancing academy is a fixed fact now, and we hope all parents who wish to make their children graaeful and accomplished will not decline in sending them to this academy. We heartly recommend the teachers and believe they merit a large patronage. WIIERE THE Wooddineth.— -Cliarles Augus tus Greeney belongs to some of the lower counties. He came to Macon yesterday to spend his surplus cash, and meeting up with a very pretty creole who was a charming ladie. Cliarles instantly fell in love, but when he left her presence and had wiped away the ambrosial slobber from his lips upon which the lovely r maiden had imprinted a kiss, he found that he Was short about $74, which he could not ac count for. He told his tale of pity to an officer who is on the alert for the fair creole. Mator’s Court. —Ben Yancey pranced up to the chalk line to answer to the charge of stealing a doll baby carriage from S. Helfrich, who keeps a confectionery store on Fourth street. The evidence brought out the fact that he did steal it, and he pays *lO and cost* for E his little fun. Henry White, the gull game man, was up for (violating the license ordinance. To be light with him, the Mayor entered the small sum of , $5 and costs on the debit side of the docket [ book. Maria Alien and Julia F. Kendall, for pulling j each other’s wool, and for the promicuous uae | of objectionable words, will add $5 and cost* [ each to the city treasury. And then the court put on its hat, juggled a I little with the finees, then wandered out among l the common people. KU-KLUX ARRESTS. Ten Citizens of Wilkinson County Dragged from their Homes by United States Soldiers. The evening train from Macon yester day, brought ten respectable and peacea ble citizens of Wilkinson county, under charge of United States Deputy Marshals with a tile of soldiers. The facts as we were able to gather are as follows : The men were arrested under a warrant issced by a United States Commissioner in Atlan ta, on the affidavit of some negroes, char ging, them with complicity in the mur der of a negro, which occurred some mouths ago. One of the men, we inform ed, was arrested sor being connected in some way with the muder of a negro, which took place about two years ago. This negro was killed by some person or persons, and his body thrown into a ditch, where it was subsequently discover ed. An investigation was held at the time, and the case thoroughly sifted, and finally disposed of—at least sucli was the supposition until this new arrest was made. The parties, whose names we publish below, assert that they do not know for what they have been arrested and dragged from their homes, but as there has been nothing of a disorderly character in the county, except the murder of this negro, they can think of nothing else that prompted their arrest. They state that they were quietly at their houses, not apprehending or expect ing anything of the kind, when the arri val of the United States soldiers and Mar shals from Atlanta aroused them, or many of them, from their quiet slumbers, about twelve nnd three o’clock yesterday morn ing, and notified them that they were wanted, ut the same time informed them that they were under arrest upon a war rant issued by the authorities at Atlanta. Preparing tliemsclvos as rapidly as possible, they responded to the or der, and were brought to this city, arriving as above stated, on the even ing train yesterday. Many of the gen tlemen brought their servants with them. Five of them are merchants in Irwinton, two are school boys, two are farmers, and one a physician. The following is the list : W. C. D. Carlisle, 11. E. Hyman, Eli Pea cock and Milton Lindsey, merchants, Ir winton ; R. G. Hyman, merchant and agent of the Southern Express Company, and Wat Dickson and Jethro Vanlanding han, Toombsboro ; George Campbell and Charles Peacock are school boys from Ir winton. Upon the arrival of the prisoners last evening they were immediately marched off to the jail, where they will probably be kept until the United States Court con venes or until they can have preliminary examination before a United States Com missioner. When visited at the jail last night by a representative of the Advertiser they were doing as well as circumstances would admit. Of course we know nothing whatever of the circumstances or causes leading to the charges against the prisoners, or the grounds upon which they were arrested, but we have seen so much of this sort of thing in Georgia that we have come to look upon these affidavits of negroes, chargiug honest, peaceable and law abid ing citizens with crimes of which they are perfectly innocent, as mere engines of op pression, an opportunity to vent the spleen of some disaffected or vindictive negro or negroes, in many instances instigated by designing white men. We are slow to believe these men, ar rested and dragged away from their homes, know anything at all about the crimes of which they are charged. Even if they are accomplices or principals in a crime of the kind charged against them, there are laws in the State which can be appealed to, and by which they can be punished. It is only necessary to make the proper affidavit before a justice of the peace, and produce the necessary testimony to con vict, in order to secure their punishment, without interference by the United States authorities. We shall endeavor to keep the public posted upon the progress of this interesting case. — Sav. Advertiser, 23d. Call at C. C.

Address LINES, WING & SMITH, 1-tf Macon, Ga. This Ghbat Dby Goods House of 8. Waxki.hau.m and Brother.—This mammoth Dry Goods House is truly one of the greatest in ull the Southern country. Wo doubt if there are many which aro more extensive on the North American continent outside of New York and Philadelphia, and evon 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, there arc five grand divisions to the establishment. The cellars or ground rooms are used for packing and unpacking goods for all depart ments and for the storage of Domestics. The right hand floor above Is the chief whole sale department, and hero wo find a ship load of Prints, Domestics, Alpaceas of all colors, Janes, Bleachings, Shirtings, Stripes, Checks, Ginghams, Fancy Dress Goods, Red and White Flannels, Opera Flannels, Tickings, Brown Coods, Corsets, Linseys, Poplins, and 60 on, rutiniug through the entire catalogue. On the left is the general Retail Room, and a busy seene.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 tilings the largest stock of silks in Georgia—some of them running as high as SIOO pier pattern. Our ladies can find anything there from an inch of ribbon to a cashmere shawl. The two iloors above are set apart for ready made clothing, boots, shoes, hats, shawls, hosiery, gloves, linens, shirts, balmoral skirts, cloaks, blankets, quilts nnd notions ad infini tum. 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 “8. W. & 8., Macon.” The Senior requests us to make the positive statement as a fact that they sell at New York priees. 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 stock as that will attract people to it tlie dullest day in the week, and at this season no one wishing to purchase will go by it. A large capital, industry, tlie moat 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. oetO-Ow CITY DIRECTORY. MASONIC.
