We lmvc a few words, plain unu
blunt, to say to certain of our own c >m
inunity on a mailer (|ulte vital to our
happiness u* a people. A community fun
neTer prosper ity lies. Truth is an im
portant ingredient In polities as well as in
the more social studies and practices of
men.
A political philosopher declsrea that
while progress, and at the 'snie time re
sistance, is the Isw of social change, then
la a fatal error in the inference that resist
ance should bo factlously created.
There is a natural conservatism ever
present in soelt ty, which will sufficiently
check the tendencies of progress in any
direction, good or evil, which should lie
allowed to act without let or hindrance ,
and the attempt to make or to ulfcct, or to
force conservatism, is simply to attempt
lie slid perpetrate a factious pielcnec ns
despicable as it is shallow.
The freedom of opinion is a Demoaatlc
axiom, and that no man shall be abused
or molested for opinion's sake, is sound
Dsmocratlc law. That many persons
think otherwise is a case in point, and that
they should tin permitted to do so without
challenge, proves the wisdom of the axiom
aud the rectitude of the law.

In ye herd ay’s Telegraph, appeared a
note from Mr. Ohear. charging Mayor
Ilutrwith overstatement of a part of his
recent repott, in the particular of "float
ing debt." He seemed to feel that Mayor
Hull did him injustice, and called from Iris
Ilonor an explanation.
The explanation appears in today's
Telegraph, part of which is as follows,
and is us full, explicit, and satisfactory,
probably, ns most poisons desiring infor
mation, would require:
But, to the point at issue: As stated
above by me, this was all that occurred in
the Court House committee room in Au
gust,and nothing more was heard by mo
touching tliis matter, until on Monday, tiie
third day of this month, at noon, when, on
my return from dinner, I was halted by
Mr Kills, chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, who stated to me that -Mr. Ohear
hail been complaining to Mr. Cubbedgein
regard to the injustice done him by my
report, and stated that my attention had
been frequently r ailed to it, &c., &c. I
parted with Mr Ellis, went immediately
to my oilier, and wrote Mr. Ohear the fol
low ing note
Macon, November j, 1H72.
Mr. tiro. .S’, Ohear:
Di au Htu — -Mr. Ellis, chairman Fi
nance Committee, has this moment in
formed me that Mr. Cubbedge informed
him that you had complained of some in
justice done you #u my recent report on
city tin inces. Mr Ellis further states that
you informed Mr Cubbedge that you had
repeatedly called my attention to this
matter, and that 1 had neglected or refused
to give you the benefit of a correction,
etc Ido not believe, sir, that you are
capable of making any such statement to
Mr. Cubbedge or any one else; for you
well know that jou have never alluded to
anything of the kind in uiy presence hut
once, and that was in the committee room
where the new charter was being framed,
and Mr Cubbedge heard what you then
said. You simply asked me there if I
would do you an injustice. I auswrred
you no. You then spoke of some error
made in the sale and credit of some bonds
at Augusta, and remarked that my green
Finance Committee had done you injus
tice This snded the matter there, and
tli in is all I ever heard from you touching
injustice or error, either on. Hie part ol
myself or Finance Committee, and hence
my astonishment at the information given
me by Mr Ellis this evening.
Will you inform me at once what it is
you complain of in my report, and state at
what time and place you will meet my
Finance Committee, that the error may lie
corrected, if one lias been made and any
.other satisfaction given you which maybe
thought right and proper between busi
ness men under the circumstances.
Very Respectfully,
W. A. III'FF.
Mr. Obeardid not reply to (his note, but
on the following day 1 mot him at the
Court hsusii. accidentally, and in a short
Interview asked him what it was he com
plained of. lie stated that injustice had
been done him lu the over estimate of his
floating debt. etc. I assured hint that so
soon as Alderman Tinsley could meet
with the Council or the committee that an
investigation should be bad, to which .Mr.
Obear assented It is but justice to Mr.
Tinsley to stale that in consequence of ill
ness in his family, he bus not been able to
meet w ith his Council until yesterday f
temoon. and then had to beg leave of ab
sence before our meeting was half over. I
make this statement simply to show the
hasty and iue msiderate manner in w hich
Mi Obear has thought proper to act, and
that, too, in the face of n full knowledge
on his part as to the causes which have
prevented .the fulfillment our agreement
and engagement to investigate the ques
tion involved The public must place its
own estimate upon such conduct. Mr.
Tinsley assures mo that he will be ready
to meet Mr Ohcar and the committee on
next Friday. at which time the committee
w ill be phased to make an examination of
the books or arrange for one to be made
in the most full and satisfactory nmuuer.
1 m.w promise to Mr. Obear that lie em
ploy his own accountant and 1 will em
ploy mine I-et these two gentlemen act
with the Th a surer in the investigation of
this matter. If my committee lias over
estimated his floating debt 1 will pay the
salary of Kith men. If not, Mr Obear
shall pay it This is the most expeditious
as well a the most satisfactory plan for
disposing of this whole matter. .Mr
Obear .can accept or decline this proposi
tion when lie meets the committee on
Friday.
Pending this investigra ion 1 would res
pectfully ask Mr Obear the kiudness to
furnish me square out answers to the fol
lowing questions
First—-Do you not know that the same
statement or exhibit made in my last re
poit louchiugcity tiuauce* has been made
and published by me twice before—once
on the first of July. IST!, and again on the
31st of Maieh. I-7J?
Second—lf injustice was douc you in
my last stateim-iit. was not the same iujus
tiee done you twice before ?
Third— Why did you allow this error
to he published, and this injustice to be
done you, three timee before asking satis
iaction 1 r explanation at my hand ?
Fourtli—are you more easily injured
just on the eve of a city election than you
would he a year or two previous or a year
or two afterwards ?
Fifth—lf there was no municipal elec
tion approaching here now would you
spring this question of error or injustice
on me and my Fiuance Committee ?
Sixth—How long did you hold the of
fice of Mayor of Macon, and how many
financial reports did you make out and ren
der to the tax payers of Macon during your
term of office ?
Seventh—lf you made any report what
ever as to the assets and liabilities of the
city, when was it, and where can a copy
of those reports be had ?
Eighth—Did you make out and pub
lisli any statement in regard to assets and
liabilities of the city when you went out
of office ? If so, where can it he found ?
Ninth—Did you know within SIO,OOO
of what you owed when you went out of
office ? If you did, give me the proof.
Tenth—lf it was not necessary for me
to furnish the public with an exhibit of
our financial condition while you were
Mayor, why does it become you now to
attempt to make up one on the errors and
discrepancies of others ?
Eleventh—Don't you think it looks a
little suspicious for, you, "or auy other
man,” to be courting public favor by wri
ting extraordinary financial articles, and
pointing out astounding errors and discrep
ancies just on the eve of a city election ?
Twelfth— If you know anything about
the debt when you weat out of office, why
don’t you come out like a man and say so
and give us the figures and the facts ?
Respectfully, W. A. Huff

Til II PKEfIH .n WEEKLY.
IT is universally conceded that advertising is
a necessity to success in business; it is also
conceded, by the shrewdest business men, that
newspapers are the best medium for reaching
all parties whose trade is desired.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER
reaches more of the people trading with Ma
con than any other journal published in the
country; it is, therefore, the best medium of
communication with the planting interests-
We will be happy at any time to furnish refer
ences to leading merchants here and elsewhere,
who will testify to the fact that they have re
ceived orders for goods from parties who read
their cards in Tin Advertiser. In fact, many
who have availed themselves of its columns,
candidry say that its value exceeds that of all
other journals in which they are represented.
The Advertiser has the freshness of youth and
the ripeness of age, and is therefore deservedly
successful.
CHARACTER OF ADVERTISEMENTS.
No advertisements arc admitted which are
not believed to be above question and of real
value, and from parties so unquestionably re
liable that the readers of The Advertiser will dc
safe in ordering them from any distance. *
our readers, the fact of its appearance here tow
all the weight of endorsement and author)v
