What are occult cause*V
They are causes unknown. mid invisi

The recognition of these Is not univer

to deny nil phenomena which cannot he
refered to acknowledged causes
Among these secret causes, men lie-fore
our time and age, reckoned the supernat
ural, and attributed to it certain manifests
tlona, which now form the illustrations of
the spiritualistic philosophy.
The- phenomena which e are an us
tom to consider from the standing point of
the present local agitation, are, by no
means extraordinary or new ns such,
since they have, in similar manifestations,
fretted, frightened, puzzled and Instructed
every generation of men. Yet have they
lied from the eager pursuer, when bent on
ascertaining their cause. Impenetrable
silence, unlightcd darkness, awful mystery
have rewarded all dilligcnce.
in the weariness of such pursuit, the
consciousness of what we know appeals

In anollier column our readers will tin-.l
a communication from “An old Citizen,’ I
containing animadversions ml prop tui
tions upon and in behalf of el'y matters.
We arc willing to have this an.l ereiy
matter of moment, freely and properly
discussed in our columns Our paper is
independent of parties an ! persons in all
public interests, while we reserve to our
selves the light to lead in that diicction
most consonant with utw convictions of
the people's prosperity and tlie eternal
laws.
We arc not at all afraid of weakening
the present city government by proper
discussion. On the contrary, we believe
that the closest and most thorough sifting
and investigation will result, and can only
result in the triumphant vindication of our
present Mayor's position and aim Any
I one, who allotva himself to imagine thut
the present Executive is disposed to he
reckless in tho exercise of his prerogatives
and the people's money, is guilty of an
act of great injustice, and fails to compre
hend Hie character of the gentlemen in
question No citizen can he more ardent
ly desirous of proper limitations, checks
and hounds, laid down by law, than the
present Mayor, ami, to our knowledge he
lms exerted himself unceasingly to this
end. We know also of some of the dil-*
llcullics which have opposed his edmts in
tills good direction, end if any g ! could
he compassed, we should not In. bite to
uncover them llut we believe in whole
some friction. Free, temperate discussion
of real issues must only strengthen public
confidence in tho right, und tend to <ll,
cover ami uproot the wrong.
Let it then, proceed.
Wo have refrained from a lengthened
ciiticlsm of the recent exhibit, presented
! by a citizen who.be his conclusions just
| or unjust, has been looking up the figures.
That exhibit was presented ill our own
columns with pleasure, in will a'-o all
similar papers lie from time to time.
Wo take it for granted that every Intel
* llgeut citizen is capable of judging Its tuer
Us, und easily detecting its errors, and yet
credit the writer with patriotic motives
J Our conviction remains, and il possi
i ble, is deepened, that the present Mayor,
i if lie will serve, is the man over ail others
! within our know ledge for the high posi
tion, and, we know that nine-tenths ol (lie
I tax paying public would consider his de
clinature a public calamity. “Ona man
power” is it phrase as unlucky as it is
vague, and seldom conveys a clear thought
independently of n ding w hich spoils its
force.
Some other man, is still • one man,"
whose “power" would be his own inter
pretation of a "programme,” which w ould
of necessity bo more individual than aught
else, so that cheap talk about “laws" char
tered lights, “limitations" etc tie , would
occupy the same front seat of order, eeon
onty, an 1 defeated ambition.

Mr. Editor:— The financial statement >
of Mr. It 15 Barfield presents much food
for serious reflection to the tax payers of
Macon, and should he studied carefully by
the people, embracing as it does a state- ■
ment of the nctunl yearly accretion of the
city debt from the end of the Collins' to
and during the Obcar, and IlufT adminis
trations. When the former went into
power the debt of the city ha I been kip’
stiictly within the legal limit of two hun
dred ami lifiy thousand dollars. By Mr
ltiiifnM s statement in December, HGte
when Mr. Collins left ollbe it had reached
i 1 11, Jl7 G7e. Four years afterwards when
Mr. Obcar left oflkeit hud reuebed $774,-
1H11.50 and on the .Tltti December, next
it will hr sHti4,oo!>.s(J, with every tangible
as-et of the city sold or otherwise dispos
ed of, and the taxes inereased three fold I!!
The yearly increase of debt being on an
average nearly $77,(100 dollars, all of
which together wittt tbe increase of taxes
liaH been absorbed in Hie current expense,
except 550,011(1 given to the Augusta Kail
road, in addition to the original subscrip
tion of 550.000, and so far a* the waiter
knows without nuthmity of law. together
w ith the amount spent on the Park, w hich
j however can hardly he called an asset of
j ihe city, an I the donation to the Mercer
: University the benefits of which are still
1 In the clouds. The citizens of Macon
who will look on this picture without
prejudice may here see that the one man
power a modified form.from that advocated
by the present Mayor, has cost the city
over 5(iM,000 dollars in eight years, be
sides the tremendous amounts extorted
from the people’s pocket* in double and
tripple taxes, liseenses &c., aud during the
same period, and at the same time they
enn look nt the beggarly account of emp
ty boxes that the results presents.
When Legislature throws aside the re
slauints of constitutional law and officers
of corporation ignore the charters that de
fine their powers, and Mayors take the law
into their own hands, or at their discretion
become a law unto themselves, snd in
deliancc of all law spend or give away the
public treasures in consideration pel Imps
of a little cheap eclat or even from the best
of motives there is an end of all responsi
hie government, the one man pow er nut
prerogative is assumed |so far as each in
dividual can. two heads no longer consid
ered better Ilian one, and time honored
consultations of "commilteess" acting un
der t lie restraints of law, and sworn duty,
are derided and cast to the winds 1 ! With
law for a guide if honest, the way-faring
man though a fool will not err, but with
only poor discretion guided by the cap
rice of the moment to direct the step.they
would lie "green" indeed who would trust
it, and the community who entrusts its in
tercets to that kind of direction or lets it so
continue when discovered or aunonced has
only itself to blume for the results, how
ever damaging they may be
As regards Macov, up to and during the
war, her Mayors und Couucils never
dreamed of exceeding their legal powers,
and (he records of their proceedings will
prove that though they did it in the regu
lar business way, each acting in his own
particular sphere, with committees not
ignored, they yet succeeded with much
smaller mentis in carrying on the city
government with better results than lias
I yet been attained by any administration
that since the war has substituted for law,
1 its own discretion aud depended on en
abling nets, that dated not see the liglit
till passed to make their actions valid.
This much, by way of comparison, is
proper to he said in favor of those much
abused administrations, hut it is also right
at the sumo time, to assert that in those
days the people by a healthy public opin
ion, gave proper support and direction to
tlie w hole, so tliut tlie Mayor or the Coun
cils that sitettld have undertaken to spend
or give away the public treasure at the
into of hundreds of thousands without
authority of law or in contravention of it.
would have been drummed out of town to
the Itmo of the rogue's march or been !
treated to strait-jackets and a visit to Dr.
Green, and il is only the degeneracy nf
tlie times and the people themselves that
make such administration of their affairs
possible.
j Hut what of the future? Any talk of
! economy? Any reduction of expenses?
Any lessening of the taxes or the licences?
Nay. verily—on the contrary Hie pro
! gramme is to doublo the salaries, iucrcasu
the expenses, keep the tsxesntthc highest

in w hich they must be paid. Trying to
get out of debt on such a programme it
must be said is not very cied.table to the
••business men ” of Macou, and if they do
much of their own busim ** after the same
style God help them.
Hut is there uo remedy? Are vve
doomed to continue m the dowuward
road at a $77.1100 rate, more or less,
year by year, at the mere discretion
of any body* 1- there no limit? Are
we ou the decline, rushing at headlong
speed with breaks broken and no power
to stop ? it seems so, though we seem
quite happy; the engineer crowds on
more steam, and. if he sounds the w histle
at all, it is go a head , uo thought of takiug
up until the fuel is exbaus ed. and that
point now will soon be reached. Money

the currency plates and make sure that uo
more notes can be printed Let that b
done at all t.aiarxt* . let the business
men" and all others assist in that, and
have striugent laws enacted enforcing a
rigid economy in expenditure*. do away
wiili mere discretion or the one man i
power and try a prompt adlierance to
.iritten laws once more, for short of these
our little community is doomed and will
oon be past redemption. I
Do this aud I care uot who you put in
the Mayor's chair or on the Aldermens’
benches, however "green " they may be,
il only upright and patriotic, they will
beat your over-smart people that can only
be influenced by "pay ’’ all to prices and
retrieve the fortunes of the city government
by emiliuing its operations exclusively to
