MACON, JANUARY 18, 1870.
Vzbt Appropriate.—The swearing in of
Bradley, the negro felon, who was expelled
' from the Senate on that account, was exceed
ingly appropriate. If the State Treasury is, as
we hear, the objective point of the plot now be
ing worked out at Atlanta, who more fitted to
head a squad of"the raiders than ft convicted
felon? The qualities generally possessed by
those who grace State prisons and j eaitentia-
ries are exactly those calculated for an expedi
tions emptying of pockets and depletion of a
a treasury. We know of no man better fitted
as an instrument for Bullock’s bands, if this is
bis little game, than Bradley. Wo beg to call
his Excellency’s attention to tho fact. Merit is
modest, and Bradley may allow himself to bo
overlooked.
Rallying Again.—The Now York papers say
that the leaders in the grand charge of tho bulls
in the gold room last September, ero rallying
again under the leadership of Fisk. On the 7th,
last Friday, August Belmont purchased §4,-
000 000. He was followed by a leading mer
chant who invested §3,000,000. Jny Gould, it
is said, also pat in some §2,000,000 or §3,000,*
000. Othor operators bought §9,000,000 or
§10,000,000 and aro still buying. In addition
to the purchase by Jay Gould, Mr. Fish has
bought largely. European brokers have tele
graphed to their agent in Now York to buy
freely, with the avowed purpose of building tho
market.
nrfTivc’ nnvmnnH m Pmm—
Charles Dickens made another speech at Birm
ingham on the evening of the Ctli instant. In
the course of his remarks he alluded to tho fact
that a former speech of bis had been misunder
stood, and he would therefore toko this occasion
to restate his political creed. He had no faith
in the people (with a small p) governing; but
entire faith in the peoplo (with a large P) gov
erned. He put infinite trust in the masses;
none whatever in the so-called ruling class.
The World says, in spite of this democratic
avowal, it is protty well authenticated tbatDick-
ens courts tho society of tho aristocracy, and is
never so happy as when he has his feet under a
lord's mahogany.
Good.—Senator Stewart, of Nevada, purposes
introducing a bill this week to abolish tho
franking privilege, and authorizing tho Post
master General to contract with tho lowest
bidder for constructing telegraph lines over
the principal mail routes, and to establish a
postal telegraph in connection with the Post-
office Department—tho latter to regulate the
charges so that the revenue shall equal the
expenses of operating tho same—the construc
tion in no. .year to exccod tho charge upon the
department for franking for the fiscal year 18C3.
The World suggests that when a woman mur
ders a man for an alleged wrong, sho should be
compelled to prove tho wrong before she is ac
quitted by a jury. “It is rather going too far
to allow a woman to kill a man she desires to
marry merely because ho has determined to
marry another woman. The killing of tho man
by the woman may not amount to much, bnt is
it not rather hard that the other woman should
be deprived of a husband ?"
Wurpr.—Tho Dahlonega Signal, published in
Wimpy’s town, is not satisfied with Wimpy’s
defence, and mildly puts it that ho (Wimpy)
“smells mighty strong of brimstone.” Some
of Wimpy’s constituents, despairing of that
“big thing” in counterfeit currency, have be
taken themselves very energetically to horse
stealing. Several fino animals in Lumpkin
county have disappeared.
Hoar.—It seems that, this crusty old hunks
Who Has i>eeu oanoyTtefiical Senators can’t be
confirmed. G:ait will have to -triti,«w— j.;„
name, or suffer the mortification of seeing him
rejected. The carpet-baggers from tho South
demand that one of their ilk and kidney bo put
in the position, to whom Grant replies that in
the whole range of tho tribe he knows not one
worthy the position.
Co-Operative Washing.—Some time since tho
Socialist society at Oneida, N. Y., constructed,
at a cost of six thousand dollars, a building in
which to do the washing and ironing of the
whole community. The number of people for
whom washing is done is two hundred and thir
ty-seven. The number of pieces washed for
each person is eighteon. The actual weekly
cash expense is twenty-nine cents a head.
The Suez Canal.—A correspondent of the
Morning Post, writing from Ismailia, says that
“anything drawing over fifteen feet of water
must bo lightened in order to pass through the
Suez Canal. Dredges, etc., so obstruct it that
the passage is hazardous. The company de
cline to take any risk whatever. It requires a
mint of money to keep the work in order.
The Mormons.—Brigham Young is reported
to be in high excitement over Cullom's bill to
squelch Mormonism. He has made a speech
against it, and his newspaper organ hopes that
the Mormons will resist if the bill is passed.
Here is a prospect of another Mormon war, with
lots of contracts and pickings for the toil politi
cians.
Beal estate in South Carolina is not looking
np much. Ten thousand acres of land in Or
angeburg sold last Tuesday for §13,836, and
in Horry, on sale day, it averaged only forty
oents an acre. Twenty-five shares of the Green
ville and Columbia Railroad stock sold for §2 25
per share. ’
Band all, the victim of tho Sleepy Hollow
murder, was killed so instantaneously while
drinking, that he did not move a muscle after
receiving the death blow. His head, nearly
Mown off, fell on his shoulder, and when found,
he was still-sitting with his- legs crossed, his
goblet in his hand.
John Mebbxman & Go.—We call attention to
the advertisement of Fertilizers by the house of
John Herxyman & Co., G9 west Fayette street,
Baltimore, a house enjoying such a golden
reputation throughout the South, that no plant
er feels any distrust of fertilizers bonght of it.
Rxubyn Field is a mathematical prodigy who
lives in Missouri. Ho is a mere boy, has never
been to school, and is possessed of no capacity
for education. However, be gets drunk, young
as he is. But he can give the square of twelve
figures, mentally, in three minutes time. *
The Albany News.—We call attention tothe
advertisement of our sprightly and able con
temporary, the semi-weekly Albany News—a
paper wielding a large influence upon pnblio
sentiment in the State and destined to achieve
rapidly increasing importance.
Aldzbhan Butt, of Augusta, charges the
merchants of that city with certain little pecu
liarities not much to their credit, such as giving
in their cash sales and making no return of
those “on tick.”
Atlanta Congressional Agency.
Only one House of the so-called Legislature
organized on Monday; bnt we presume we shall
gc-t accounts of the Ilonso organization to-day.
It seems that Gov. Bullock detailed a force
from the Stale Railroad to organize that body,
nnd installed Supervisor Harris* a 475 pounder,
to boss the job. It is a new experiment in
legislative organization to employ outsiders to
superintend tho work, bnt we live in now
rtimes. 7 . . "*l
The House, ns will be seen, had a stormy
lime. The so-called Republican members wore
at daggers drawn. Pistols were produced, and
for some time a free fight seemed to be mo
mentarily impending, but though plenty of vi
olence was menaced and attempted, nono was
actually committed.
From tho vote in tho House on tho motions
to supersede Supervisor Harris, first by Caldwell
and then by Bryant as Speakers pro tern., itwould
appear that the destructives were at that lime
inn minority in the House; but the facta will
appear when tho destructives have got through
with their purging, nnd the next highest! mem
bers take the seats of the ejected. Wo shall
see then what we shall see. But the peoplo.may
safely promise themselves such curiosities in
the way of Legislative proceedings as never be
fore went to record in old Georgia.
We cannot bring onrsenso of right and jus-
tico to the concession that this assemblage in
Atlanta is in any respect entitled to tho nnmo
of a Legislature, It is not a representative
body of the people of Georgia. It is not vested
with authority to legislate for the people by
the Constitution or laws of the State, but iB
vested with that pretended authority by Con-
glCTKJ 1718ZXJ1B UOBSUCUUuu Uw*
gia. It cannot legally bind the people of Geor
gia, and as, should life bo spared, we expect to
appeal to tho people to repudiate its action,
especially in contracting pecuniary obligations
which they will be called upon to discharge by
taxation, we shall yield no point in advance by
conceding this assemblage to bo a General As
sembly or Legislature of Georgia. It is noth
ing more than an Agency of Congress, acting
nnder the authority of Congress, and amenable
to that body alone. We shall, therefore, style
it an Agency of Congress—which is its precise
character in law and fact.
The Savannah News complains that money is
awful tight in that city although business is
very brisk, and there are at least 70,100 bales
of cotton in the city warehouses.
Stxwasx, who shot Wood last week, in Borne,
Of Conrse.
“They say,” at Washington, that Mississippi
will get back into the Union as easy as winking,
but that Texas may bang fire a little while. Mis
sissippi comes dressed en regie—in dead black
from top to toe, and of course not a murmur is
heard. She is loyal, that is, she hns voted Badical
straight out and all through. - What moro can
any patriot demand? Texas, however, relieves
the general sombreness of her apparel by a bit
of white in the shape of one Democratic Con
gressman, and therefore sho most cool her heels
a while. And snch deviltry is called “restoring
the Union,” and “guaranteeing eachState a Be-
pnblican form of government.” If the Ameri
can stomach had not been indurated by an eight
years’ debauch, such poison and its concoctors
would be spewed ont and trodden nnder foot.
Like that of an old sot, however, it can stand
almost anything. Ono of these days, maybe,
the patient will have a fit of the horrors, and
somebody will get hurt. It’s an awful remedy,
but if soberness comes afterwards, not near so
bad as the disease.
When the day does come, won’t there-be
hiding ont, though! .We love to dwell on the
picture of Badicalism fleeing with bloody
hands and stuffed pockets from tho wrath to
come of an outraged, robbed and insulted
people. The stale trick of shouting “rebel,”
“traitor,” and the like, will not save them then.
The thief caught in the act, and with the swag
on his person, will not more lamentably fail to
fool the policeman, than these brigands blind,
the eye and paralyse tho arm of thoso who have
risen in their might to work terrible retribution
on their despoilers. Speed tho day, oh,
Nemesis! ’ -
Radical Frauds in Louisiana.
Governor Warmouth makes pitiful plaint to
the Legislature of the Reconstructed State of
Louisiana, in a special message, npon the
frauds of Auditor Wickliffe. This truly radical
officer has not only defrauded tho State Treas
ury of vast amounts, and stood obstinately in
the way of the satisfaction of all tho public cre
ditors except himself or the claims of those who
paid him well; bnthe has also levied black mail
upon every claim which has passed throngh his
hands. And this black mail was no small per
centage either. Warmouth charges that Wick
liffe took §531 out of §1,500, and §782.50 out
of another claim of §1,5G5, being exactly one-
half, and §300 for issuing a certificate for §700,
and §50 for another of §375, and §735 for is
suing two certificates amounting in gross to
§2000; and §300 for dividing a warrant for ten
thousand dollars into warrants for smaller sums;
and stealing numerous interest coupons; and
colluding with tho radical newspapers to de
fraud the treasury to an indefinite amount—so
unless Warmouth is badly in error there are few
people who have made so good a thing out of an
office even in these times, as Mr. Geo. M. Wick
liffe has made out of tho office of Auditor of
Public Accounts for the so-called State of Lou
isiana.
But from Texas to the Potomac, where is the
green spot in the vast desert of fraud among
the so-called States which have been put through
the mill of Congressional reconstruction?
Great Floods In England.
The London Times, of December 21st, states
that heavy rains, which prevailed for several
days, hnd caused great floods in many parts of
England. In the midland counties they were
very destructive, and in the Yale of Trent thou
sands of acres were submerged. At Notting
ham the water in the river reached a foot and a
half of the highest point ever known. Many
buildings were flooded. At Derby the Der
went overflowed its banks, and did an im
mense amount of damage. The water was
five feet deep in a large number of dwell
ings and warehouses, and St- Paul’s Church was
blocked up with water so that no servioe could
be held on Sunday. In Shropshire and North
Wales the rains produced floods almost unpre
cedented in the present century. At Shrews
bury, where the rivers Severn and Bes join, the
water submerged & vast number of houses.
Boats, cabs, wagons and rafts were in constant
requisition to convey the people from the sub
urbs' to the centre of the town. An immense
amount of damage was done to stock and prop
erty. At Melverly, a low lying district, the
cottagers were entirely driven from their homes,
and the land for miles presented a-frightful
waste of waters, with only the tops of trees here
and there interspersed. The injury caused by
the flood is estimated at §2,000,000.
Cotton in California.
Major J. L. Strong, of Mississippi, informs
the New Orleans Picayune that, though he has
made every effort to get Chinese laborers to
come from California to Mississippi, to work in
cotton for him, ho has utterly failed to 'do so
they asking doable tho price of their labor on
tho Pacific Coast, besides tho expense of bring
ing them.
But in his efforts to procure these laborers in
California, be has discovered that in the South
ern and cultivable parts of that State be can
raise his favorite crop, with every expectation
of equal results as in this region, and - even so
much more as to pay for tho extra expenses in
sending his cotton to Liverpool and leave-a
much larger margin of profit
The soil he finds to be excellent for cotton
and the fertility so great that, in lands, not con
sidered rich, eighty bushels of com and fifty of
wheat can be got from the acre npon land many
years in cnltivation.
Major Strong has determined, therefore, to go
to California, Ho will take with him §50,000
to invest tbero in the cnltivation of cotton with
Chineso labor. He is satisfied that this will bo
found vastly superior to any which he can get
here, in those peculiar requirements for careful
cultivation and in saving the crop which adds so
much to the profitableness thereof; and in get
ting this labor at California prices, he will save
at least half its cost if procured herefrom there.
It will be s.een from this, adds the Picayune,
that the prospect of procuring much Chinese la
bor in this region is quite small. Here-is an en
thusiast in its behalf who has tried his best-to
get it, but failing, has determined to go where
he can employ it. Even those railroad laborors
nuoutro passmrougii tnis city for Texas are
only two hundred and fifty in number, and the
Contract is specially made with them to return
them to California after their term of engage
ment is over. Thoy come to. live as a separate
community, and prepared to return ns cno at
the end of their contract.
Accobddjo to a recent statement in a New
York paper, Hamilton Fish didn’t give General

of the President, for he conld easily have sold
the plaoe for much more.—'Louisville Courier

A decent divorce trick in Indiana was the

Oh, ho! The loyal men of Kansas are at
t “rebel” tricks, eh? Who would have thought it?
Tho “man and brother” is no safer in “bleed
ing Kansas,” with a Radical Congressional del
egation, and a Radical Governor, and a Radical
Legislature, than in “traitorous” Kentucky, or
“murderous” Georgia. Who . shall havo the

The Dominicans Protest Against An*
- novation. •
A large party of Dominicans, it seems, are
irreconcilably hostile to annexation to the United
States, and are circulating among tho peoplo a
protest against the. schemo. It is worthy of
special noto that they ground ono of their
strongest objections against being sold ont to
the United States on the tho tyranny which has
been practiced by the Government against the
peoplo of the conquered Southern States. We
append tho protest:
People of Santo Domingo : Tho men who
urnfpEs to have been fighting for your freedom
aro selling yon into slavery. They have taken
your wealth, your children and your friends un
der the pretext that yon should have in turn en
larged liberties, nnd a paternal Government
and you were willing to sacrifice all for what
yon loved best on earth'—your native country.
You were willing to forego everything for free
dom, for self-government. But what are yon
to get instead ? You are to get liberty to serve
the stranger—you aro to bo free to* becomo
slaves. The bay of Samana has been leased by
Baez to tho Government of the United States
of America for §150,000 a year. It has already
been formally taken possession of by that na
tion, and their flag has been unfurled upon
Santo Domingo soil, thus basely bartered away
for lucre. This leasing of tho property of tho
peoplo is only tho first step, made by traitors
forward—selling our country in-its entirety to
Amerion, a government that is now eagerly
grasping after all the territory it can acquire.
When the time arrives tbatseesSan Domingo
annexed to tho United States^ ~ybir .will find
yourselves the some as, nayT* worse'than a'coh-
qnered peoplo. Your conscience’will be meas-
uredby pther laws; your rights will be prescribed
by men who refuse reconstruction to many of
the Southern States with whom they were re
cently at war, and which they subjugated. Will
thoy treat strangers better than their own flesh
and blood? Already Americans aro brought
into tho Island to supplant onr native labor.
Samana will be a colony of foreigners on San
Domingo soil, and yet independent of its laws.
Wo would awaken you, fellow countrymen, to
tour true position. The government of Baez,
t is evident, is betraying you on all sides. Their
specious pretences aro but to blind you ; their
pretended sympathy and desire for your mate
rial welfare is hypocrisy. They are betraying-
you with a kiss. Yon ask, then, what yon shall
do under the .circumstances ? There are those
who are quietly preparing to teach you. Only
be ready when the day of freedom is proclaimed.
It may bo a long and bloody struggle, costing
many lives; it may be accomplished Uke a light
ning flash, requiring bnt the sacrifice of one.
Remains of a Giant Eighteen Feet
High.
The following story, which we find credited
to the Oil City, Pennsylvania, Times, is won
derful if true, and a wonderful piece of impu
dence if untrue:
On Tuesday morning last, while Mr. William
Thompson, assisted by Robert R. Smith, was
engaged in making an excavation near the
house of the former, about half a mile north of
West Hickory, preparatory to erecting a der
rick, they exhumed an enormous helmet of
iron, which was corroded with rush Farther
digging brought to light a sword which meas
ured nine feet in length. Cnriosity incited
them to enlarge the hole, and, after some little
time, they discovered the bones of two enor
mous feet. Following up the “lead” they had
so unexpectedly struck, in a few hours time
they had unearthed a well preserved skeleton of
an enormous giant! belonging to a species of
the human family which probably inhabited
this and other parts of the world at that time
of which the Bible speaks, when it says : “And
there were giants in those days.” The helmet
is said to be of the shape of those found among
the ruins of Niveveh. The bones of the skele
ton are remarkably white. The teeth are of
extraordinary size. These relics have been
taken to Tionesta, where they are visited by
large numbers of persons daily. Wben his
giantship was in the flesh he must have stood
eighteen feet in his stockings. These remark
able relics will be. forwarded to New York early
next week. The joints of the skeleton are
now being glued together. These remains were
found about twelve feet below the surface of a
mound which had been thrown up probably
centuries ago, and which was not more than
three feet above the level of the ground around
it. Here is another nut for antiquarians to
crack. '
Lindsay Muse, who was appointed Messen
ger to to the Secretary of the Navy in 1828, is
still performing his duties. Lindsay must be
an uncommonly “loil” youth, or else some pa
triot would have gobbled his place long ago.

FROM ATLANTA. »
Atlanta. January 11.—'The Senate convened at
noon -yesterday. Tho galleries wero crowded with
both sexes. Tho desks of late Senators Adkins and
Ayer were draped in mourning. The hall was dec
orated with American flags:
Provisional Governor Btllock’s order convening
the Legislature and Gen. Meade’s order of Juno.
18G8, announcing tho names of Senators elect, wero
read,when members came forvard to qualify, among
whom were Aaron Alpcoria Bradley and Campbell,
negroes.
Campbell (negro) made protests against tho qual
ifying of several white members, as having held of
fice and engaged in rebellion, and wero not yet re
lieved of their usabilities by Congress; but, amid
applause from tho galleries, all wero sworn in.—
About two members sworn in are considered as not
being ablo to qualify.
Benj. Conley was clec'.ed Speaker.
In tho House tho Governor’s Proclamation and
Gen. Meado's order wero read; also, the opinion of
tho Attorney General as to the qualification of mem
bers. ,
Daring the swearing in of members, Bryant, post
master of Augusta, interrupted tho proceedings by
declaring the reading of the Attorney General’s opin
ion an outrage, and tho acts of Congress illegal and
revolutionary. Being called to order by the Speak
er, ho refused, and tho Speaker ordered his arrest
by tho Sergeant-at-arms, who was restated by Bry
ant, whose friends clustered around him and several
pistols wero drawn—bloodshed being imminent.
Bryant held the floor protesting against the right
of tho Speaker pro tern, to tho Chair, and finally
was himself elected Chairman, when a committee
of three wero appointed to wait upon Gen. Terry
and obtain hie views as to tho legality of tho pro
ceedings. Gen. Terry advised the organization of
the House on the plan begun, when the proceedings
went on in quiet. About nine members in the
House are considered disqualified. ■
Both Houees adjourned and met to-day, and on
reassembling swore in a few members and again
adjourned to meet to-morrow at noon.
The Republicans hold a meeting to-night.
It is supposed that the Democrats and Conserva
tive Republicans will have a majority in both
Houses. Tho city i3 crowded and much excitement
prevails. Tho Attorney General’s opinion is, that
any citizen having ever held an office, civil, military
or naval, previous to tho rebellion, cannot take the
oath; hut if he held no office, cither State or
national, previous to tho rebellion, ho can legally
take the oath, no matter what may havo been his
conduct daring the rebellion. Ho includes as offi
cers all. persons who may have held office, either
commissioned, non-commissioned or selected, or
appointed by public authorities to carry ont provis
ions of any law, UnitedStates, general law of State,
or local laws, and who afterwards engaged in the
rebellion and gave aid or comfort to any foreign
government agAinst the United States.
Atlanta, January 12 -Both Houses adjourned
after swearing-in a fow members.
General Terry, to-day, issuod an order placing
Warren, Taliferro, Wilkes, Lincoln, Columbia and
Glasscock counties, as a sub-district, nnder com
mand of Major Kline, with instructions to arrest
persons violatingthe laws and disturbing the peace.
Also an order removing tbo present Sheriff of War
ren county, and appointing J. 0. Norris Sheriff.
CONGRESSIONAL. !
Washington, January 11.—House—Mr. Farns
worth, in referring to the bill from tho Reconstruc
tion Committee for the admission of Virginia, said
their instructions were to allow a liberal latitude in
every amendment and debato.
Hr. Bingham offered his bill as a substitute, and
both were postponed until to-morrow. Indications
point to a considerable debate.
Mr. Cox will move to cancel all that part of the
Reconstruction Committee bill making the action pf
Virginia irrevocable.
Mr. Wood will also move to strike out all after
the first election. •
Mr. Eldridgo remarked of tho Virginia bill that
the conditions imposed were abominable.
Senate.—Mr. Sumner introduced a bill for pro-,
riding for the consolidation of the national debt -
The bill exempting from tax canned and preserved
fish was passed.
The Virginia bill was resumed. A motion to
postpone was defeated—25 to 26. Votes agains
postponement wero: Carpenter, Casserly, Conk-t
ling, Corbitt, Baris, Fenton, Ferry, Hamilton, Har
lan, Kellogg, McCreery, McDonald, Norton, Robin
son, Ross, Saulshury, Sawyer, Scott, Stewart, Stock-
ton, Thurman, Trumbul, Vickers, Warner, Willey
and Williams.
The discussion of the amendment to remand
Virginia to her present condition in case of re
tracting her assent to the Fifteenth Amendment,
was protracted to adjournment.
The Finance Committee reported a bill, as a sub
stitute for all other finance bills, providing for the
issuing of §45,000.000 of additional banking curren
cy, in place of an equal amount of three per cent,
certificates, to be retired. Also, for free banking
on the basis of United States bonds, to be deposited
as security for the issue of coin n'otes only to the
extent of eighty per cent, of their par value.
Washington, JanuaryI12.—Senate—Mr. Drake’s
amendment to the Virginia bill will fail, and
the original bill will pass the Senate. The
result in the House is more uncertain, as the
new members are constantly arriving and the dis
cussion will probably be .prolonged two or three
days. ;
Mr. Sumner, in tho Senate, presented a protest,

The Georgia Press.
We quote, as follows, from the OolumbueSun
of Tuesday:
Gin House Burned.—The gin house of Wm.
Brooks was destroyed by fire Sunday night.—
The supposition is the burning was the work of
an incendiary. The location is Russell oounty,
Alabama, some four miles from this city. All
the mashinery was destroyed, and with it all the
corn and fodder of the farm. Jto cotton was in
it. No’insarance, we are told.
Another Richmond in the Field.—Wo wero
informed yesterday by a party well posted in
politics, that CoL R. L. Mott is a candidate for
United States Senator before tho Legislature.
We have no hesitation in saying that be would
make a better Senator than any man of his par
ty yet named in that connection.
Confirmation at the Episcopal Church.—
Bishop Beckwith on Sunday preached able ser
mons in the Episcopal church in the morning
and evening. At night tho subject was—“A
spiritual nature necessary to discern spiritual
things, -and faith tho main faculty of the soul.”
After its delivery the right of confirmation was
performed. There were twenty-six candidates,
seven or eight of- whom were men. Among
them were Aid. Colzey and Mr. Pleasants.—
Another candidate was confirmed yesterday,
ranking the total number twenty-seven. The
church was crowded on both occasions.
The Enquirer, of the same date, gives ns
these items:
Purchase of a Steamer-—We learn that the
steamer Atlanta wax purchased yesterday, by the
agent of tho Central Line, from Capt. W. L.
Stapler, for the sum of $12,000, having been
tested by the United States Inspector and found
to be seaworthy. The Atlanta is a fine boat,
having been little used, and makes the third
boat now running in the interest of tho Central
Railroad. The Julia St. Clair and Bandy Moore
are the other boats of this line.
Tho Atlanta will leave Wednesday for Bain-
bridge.

A Duel near Savannah.—Tbo Savannah Ad
vertiser says that a party of four gentlemen ar
rived in that city, last Thursday evening, from
an interior town on the line of tho Central Rail
road, not far from Savannah, tho name of which
we suppress by request of one of the parties
concerned, and yesterday morning, bright and
early, found them across the river on the Caro
lina side, where two shots were exchanged, one
of the principals receiving a severe flesh wounti
in the shoulder. He was attended by a physi
cian of that city, and was sufficiently able, to
gether with tho entire party, to leave on last
night’s train. The matter was kept wonderfully
quiet until all was over, and only by accident-
did we hear of it. Both gentlemen aro pretty
well known in Savannah. The difficulty origi
nated from a private quarrel.
The Savannah News says that there is at pre
sent in that port, and loading for foreign ports,
an amount of tonnage greater than any other
port in the United States, with the exception of
New York, Philadelphia and "New Orleans, ag
gregating twenty-nine ships, nineteen barks,
and thirty schooners.
Letters for- B. A. Wise, and Mrs. Ann O.
Freeman, of Macon, are held for postage in tho

The Eatonton Press and Messenger has the
following:
Sudden Death.—It becomes our painful duty
to record the death of Mrs. Martha Marshall,
which occurred at her residence in this plaee,
on Wednesday night last. It came unexpect
edly to her family and friends, and cast a gloom
over our whole community.
Mr. Wat. Duse, a resident of Putnam county,
died suddenly at his residence on Friday night
last.- We learn that he was very near a hun
dred years old.
The Chronicle and • Sentinel says the Radical
Sheriff of that county has been ruled to show
cause why ho should not give a better bond,
his present one being entirely insufficient- A
strict enforcement of this rule throughout the
State would causa a number of vacancies iri

NEGROES AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
Arrest of Manager Ford—Tbe Matter to lie
Tested in the Courts. ■ • j
Abont noon on Saturday last, Mr. John T.
Ford, the lessee of tho Academy of Musie, was
arrested in that bnildiug, during rehearsal,
upon a warrant issued by Magistrate T. J. Mac-
key. The writ was based on tho affidavit of a
negro man, stating that on the previous eve
ning, Janaary 7th, he had visited tho Academy
nnder Mr. Ford’s management, applied and of
fered money for a ticket of admission to the or
chestra or dess circle of the building, to witness
the performance, and was refused by Mr. Ford’s
orders, in violation of the laws of South Caroli
na, made in pursuance of-the acts of CongresH.
forbidding any distinction Oi aocount of race,
color or previous condition.
Tho officer informed Mr. Ford that if he
would proceed to Magistrate Mackey’s office,
No. 29 Broad street, he (the officer) would fol
low in the rear. This suggestion was complied
with, and the seat of justioe reached. The mag
istrate was surrounded by a large crowd of ool-
ored people, evidently waiting for the triaL The
warrant and affidavit was read to Mr. Ford, and
he at once waived an examination, and stated
his readiness to enter into bonds and appear
before the Court of General Sessions, and ex
pressed his desire to test the law speedily and
thoroughly. The bonds were given by Mr. Ford
personally, and Messrs. John Chadwick and J.
H. Devereux, in the sum of five hundred dol
lars each. Another warrant was then served,
npon the affidavit of a negro named Claussen,
declaring that he had presented a ticket and was
refused admission by the doorkeeper. The ex
amination was waived in this oase also, and like
bonds were executed.
The magistrate, in an explanatory way, re
marked that the colored people af Charleston
embraced many persons of intelligence, refine
ment and character, who did not desire to in
trude among the whites, bnt insisted npon pre
cisely the same accommodation in the same part
of the Academy.
Others of the race expressed their reluetanoe,
in discussing the case, to associate with the
poorer darkies (blaok trash) who might visit the
Family Circle, but wished that the black as well
as white “aristocracy” should be provided for.
Several really respectable oolored persons,
during the day disavowed all sympathy for a
movement denounced by them as a political
trick, and avowed their willingness to sit in the
places provided for their own raoe when they
visited the Academy.—Chas. News, lOiA.
