•‘Btatks’ Rights IT.Atitcpks," Is n
phrase applied to Mr. Stephens' recent

quite appropriate, coming as it docs from

of a later date, the Whig party —and at

It seems the attempt of Mr. Orton to
asrure Schuyler Colfax as Editor in Chief
of tlio New York Tribune, by purchasing
a controlling interest in its stock, has
failed. It has been given out thut the
purpose in ottering the position to Mr
Colfax was to plsce Hie paper lu harmony
with the National Administration, hut tin
result has proved that Mi Orton’s chief
desire was to u* it to promote his own
personal interests in connection with Hie
Western Union Telegraph. If this be
true, it is wall lie did not liml a willing in
strumeut in the Vice President The latest
news Is that Mr. Orton hn u nnlnadcd him
self of Tribune stock, and that \Y hitelaw
Held is master of the situation The tem
porary retirement of Mr Greeley front the
Tribune, during the Presidential canVaM,
and his subsequent death, have brought
Mr. Held prominently helms the public,
and it is quite natural Hint his antecedents
should tie discussed
A few days since, w lieu it was announced
Mr Heid was about to retire from bis
position, Hie Ht. Louie Globe gave s very
brief stsleaiciit of his history, from which
w. learn that lie was born in Cedarvlllc,
Greene county, Ohio, in IH.’K ilia parents
weic poor, and his education limited to his
unaided efforts. Ho begun his career us a
teacher, but soon deserted Hint railing for
more congenial pursuits. Ht first appeared
as an editor on the Xenia (O.) News, since
merged into what is now the Xenia ’i orcb
liglit; afterwards became Washington cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, anil
won reputation. At the breaking out of
the war lie acted as war correspondent for
the same journal, and penned Home of the
most vivid and thrilling battle descriptions
ever written. About three yeais since lie
was appointed assistant editorial manager
of the Now York Tribune, which position
lie held until llie nomination of Horace

Matos’* Office, Macon, December 10,1872.
IN addition to the usual inconvenience which
has been suffered by the public from the
prevalence of the horse disease, we now see a
complete blockaded condition of our railroads
and tlie almost total suspension of all commer
cial business in our city for mere lack of street
transportation. This unusual state of atluirs
suggests the want of some immediate relief,
both to the railroads and the merchant. Lpon
consultation, therefore, with the railroad au
thorities and the different dray companies in
the city, I hereby give notice to any and all per
sons in tlie adjoining counties, that they are in
vited and requested"to bring in their ox-team-;
and assist us in the dray work of our city for
tlie next two or three weeks, at the end of
which time we hope to be able to resume the
horse and mule labor. ...
Parties bringing their oxen to the city wi i
be allowed to nse them in the dray age of ai:
goods FREE OF LICENSE. It i* believed Ui|
twenty to thirty teams could find constant
work here for several days, at good pajmg
PI dTl tf W. A. HUFF, Mayor.
