tohile in Euf.'.uii it was onr pleasure to attend a
[ got pleasing and interesting entertainment in
girts H.n, given by a few of tho ladies and gen
tlemen of tho city, for the benefit of the Episcopal
Church. It consisted of tableaux, vocal and In-
UmBental music, recitations, etc. The attendance
n* large and those who took part in the perform-
taees acquitted themsclvos moat handsomely—
Some of tho vocal music was really charming, and
Mvenl ladies wore compelled to repeat their songs
before they were permitted to leave tho stage.
It was also onr pleasure to enjoy the hospitality
of Mr. A W. Brannon, proprietor of the Chowalla
Hotel, now acknowledged to be tho best house of
entertainment in Southeastern Alabama: also the
luxury of a drive in a turnout from 3Ir. Wm.
Doogbtic'a at&bles, on Orango street, and near the
Chewalla House. He has somo splendid horses on
hand. In fact, he always keeps that sort, and citi
zens and strangers alike all go to.Doughtie's when
jhsy want to take s ride, purchase a fine animal, or
while away an hour in sitting around the stable
door talking horse.
Means. Beall & Singer, wholesale and retail gro

also in the corner of nut’s Block, grocers and dry

vision dealers on Broad street; Charlie Burros and
other friends too tedious to mention, particnlarly
that Black min of the Eufanla News, all have our
thanks for kind favors and assistance in carrying
out the purpose of onr visit.
We found Eufanla still lively, prosperous and pro
gressive, and the people in that section buoyant in
spirit and hopeful of the future.
SnciDF.—About twenty minutes to nine o'clock
hit night, Mr. T. N. Maxwell, a citizen of Memphis,
Tenn., who has been here about eight months, com
mitted suicide by shooting himself in tho right
tmple, tho ball coming out tho left aide of his head.
Immediately after he shot himself, Capt. Simpson
iummonod a jury, who rendered tho following ver
dict:
Ike deceased came to his death from a pistol shot
ty his own hand.
The following is tho evidence of H. W. Shaw and
J. I. Bryint, who woro in tho room at the time the
deed was committed:
H. W. Shaw, sworn: Mr. Maxwell came into tho
guard-house about 8 o’clock. I was up stairs at the
tune. He came np stairs where witness was and
ukedforapipo foil of tobacco. I told him that I
hid none. Ho came down stairs and romainod about
three minutes. Ho came baek and asked mo to
loin him my pistol. I refused. Ho then went off
indtemuned for about half an hour. When ho
re®# hick I was still up stairs. He asked Mr. Bry
ant some question, and Mr. Bryant's reply was,
uillr. Shaw. Ho came ont and asked me to let
him hive a piece of writing paper. I told him tbs:
I hid none. Ho then turned and came hack into
the office. I followed him. He was eitting at tho
desk writing when I came in. Mr. Bryant remarked
to him that tho guard-house was only for officials.
Ho remarked that ho did not know that it was
igiinst the rales. He then reached and picked np a
Piatol and asked mo if it was a Colt’s. I told him
it wia and to put it down. Ho thonputthe pistol
to his head and said good-bye Donnie and Coot, and
tred tho pistol at the same time.
J. L. Bryant, sworn: The above testimony is
correct as far as I know.
This is tho second or third time ho had tried to
kill himsolf. Money oould not have been the canso
for he had just received or was about to receive a
hrgo sum.
The following is the note ho wrote before shoot-
“K himself:
“Dzah Camue : Have mo buried by my mother.
Good-byo, darling; you aro the only woman I ever
loved. 1 dio for yen. T. N. M.”
Nztzb Said It. Tho editor of the Albany Nows
Gets after one “Shrop.” for saying tho “credit of
Macon merchants is tho best in tho United States,”
in this column of the Telegraph and Messenger.
“Shrop.” never said it, and at the time it appeared
in this paper ho was in Eufanla. The credit of
nearly ail tho Macon mershante is excellent and
probably Improving daily; but tho enthusiastic gen
tlemen who penned tho questionable paragraph will
have to prove what he says, or, with tho editor of
the Albany News, we must presume that he was
writing for buncombe.
h'EW Awnings.—Somo of the merchants doing
business on Ponrtb street, in the Hollingsworth
block, are preparing for the coming Summer and
am patting np new and substantial awntogs in front
aad over their doors. About half tho block front
ing on Fourth street has been thu3 attended to,
aad it is proposed, we bolieve, to extend the im
provement and comfort from tho comer of Poplar
to Plum stroets.
And, while talking about the improvements being
'aado on Fourth street, we might mention the fact
that the street workers have recently been doing
tome veiy handsome ierric') on that thoroughfare
from Poplar to away ont and beyond Oak street.—
Hie holes have all been filled up, tho rough places
“soothed down, and tho center of thestreot slightly
r “sed and rounded off so as to turn the water when
■Crains. Those sporting fine stock will now find
lourth street, from ths Brown House ont to Bas-
tott’s Hill a nico place to take an airing and a drive.

migration of Chinese to the Islands.
A Disastrous Smash-tip on the Southwes
tern Railroad.
An accident of rather hug's dimensions oererred
yesterday morningabont6O’clock, on the South we*-
tern Railroad, in the Toheaofkee swamp, soma four
or five miles south of thiB city, in which no leas than
three freight trains wars involved and a Dumber of
cirs literally demolished. It appears that the Colum
bus freight*train, the first that leaves here in the
morning on this road, ran off the track when abont
four miles from the city-, caused either by a defective
rail or rotten stringer, and after running some dis
tance on the cross ties and road bed, the engine and
several of the cars upset, leaving five dr: six ears
standing on the road. Irrafew minutes after this
train left the freight depot, the Enfaula freight
train started ont. and, knowing nothing of the ac
cident that had occurred to the Colnmbus train, it
ran fall drive into the cars left standing on the road,
bursting them wide open and smashing them to
flinders. So were was two trains off the track and
a number of cars demolished. And, ss if to cap the
climax on ail tho railroad smash-nps that have oc
curred in Georgia for the last decade, the Albany
freight train followed cloEe in the wake of the En-
fanlatrain, and, on reaching the point where the fire*
train flew tho track, it, too, went off and abont half
of it upset. So, here were three heavily freighted
trains all off the track at the samo point, a number
of cars knocked into a cocked hat, freight scattered
and bursted, and, strange to say, nobody hurt.
All three trains leave early in tho morning and
within a few moments of each other, and the acci
dent to the first occurring so near town, and at a
point on the road where but a short distance ahead
can be seen, it was next to impossible to avoid the
accident which befell the second and third trains.
As soon as those persons aboard those trains saw
what had happened, some of them started hack to
town on foot, and got here before tho regular mail
and passenger trains for Eufanla and Colnmbus
started ont, or they too would have probably Bhared
the fate of the freight trains. When Superinten
dent Powers heard what had occurred, he, Mr. H.
P. Smith, Master of Transportation, and several
other railroad men went down on the regular Enfaula
passenger train to the scene of the wreck, and took
aloDg the mails and passengers hound South, all of
which were turned over to the Eufanla night freight
and accommodation train, due here at 9:10 a. K.,
and which arrived just beyond the wreck in a few
moments after the officials and passengers went
down. So soon as this transfer of passengers and
mails was made, tho Eufanla night train was re
turned to that city on schedule time and hence
passengers and mails went through on time.
It is not often this ably conducted road furnishes
our ever hungry maw with an item, in the way of an
accident or smash-np. bnt when it does take a'hand,
as in tho above instance, it gives ns a first class
article. But, we hardly know whether to give the
road any credit for this item or not; because new
rails are being laid on the cross ties between here
and Fort Valley, and the old stringers are being
thrown aside; and If the accident had been delayed
only a few days mer e, wo should never have had to
mention it. Hence, although we have got a first
rate item at the road’s expense, still we do not can
didly and conscientiously believe it was the inten
tion of tho road to furnish it, as efforts were in pro
gress to prevent it. “Its an ill wind that blows no
body good.’
Sale of Old Court-house and oi-rer Buildings
—Mr. B. Turpin, as agent for the Central Rail
road Company, sold at auction, yesterday forenoon,
the old court-hoiiso and 24 other buildings of dif
ferent dimensions and conditions, situated between
Fifth and Sixth streets and along tho ally running
from Walnut to Plum streets. Old Uncle Bob Clay
ton, as usual, did the hallooing.
The old court-honso building was knocked off to
Mr. T. 0. Nisbet for $1,050. Before the ealo began,
Mr. James Fitzpatrick read the following to the
crowd:
Georgia, Bibb County .-—Notice is hereby given to
all persons interested, that tho legality of the origi
nal Bale of the court-house, by tho Inferior Court to
tho Central railroad company, will bo contested,
and any person or persons purchasing Baid prop
erty will taka tho samo subject to the lien which
tho county of Bibb has on said property by reason
of tho illegality of said sale.
The document had no perceptible effect whatever
and tho old court-house sold for every dollar it was
worth, in our judgment. The work of removing it
is to begin within ten days and bo vigorously prose
cuted until finished.
Tho other buildings sold were all frame houses,
of different eizes and mostly old and dilapidated.
They ranged in prico from $7 to $100.
The terms of the sale were cash, and the build
ings to be removed withing thirty days from date of
sale.
A Seating Rink.—It is understood that arrange
ments have been completed for the establishment
of a skating rink hero upon an estensive scale.
For this purpose tho magnificent hall over tho car
riage store of Jackson Deloach has been retained.
It is tho finest private hall in tho city. Its present
floor will bo removed and another constructed on
the plan of those of ten-pin alleys. The roller
skates will bo used. This invention obviates the
necessity for ice in order to enjoy this healthy and
exciting exercise.
The company which has bought the right for Ma
con will fit np tho Rink without regard to cost. It
is their desire to mako it a place of resort for the
most elegant society among us. Time will bo re
quired to make the necessary alterations in the
building and to complete tho extensiva preparations
necessary.
The Ecfacla Municipal Election.—A friend
who came np from Enfaula yesterday, handed ns
the names of the officers of that city, as elected on
Monday last. They are as follows:
G. A. Roberts, Mayor.
A. A. Walker. Treasurer.
T. D. Patterson, Marshall.
T. L. Hardman, Clerk.
Theee are all truo and good men and havo loDg
held the respect and confidence of tho citizens of
Enfaula.
Whito men were elected Aldermen in all the
wards except the 4th, in which two negroes were
elected by illegal votes, and on this score they will
probably bo thrown out.
The race between Mr. Keils, the radical nominee,
and Mr. Roberts was pretty close, as tho latter won
by only abont 19 votes.
Mayor b Court.—His Honor had a right lively
little levee yesterday morning—nothing heavy, ft is
true, bnt quite interesting to those who took a
hand.
The first caso called was against two of the fair
and frail of tho city for getting drank and raising a
muss, which disturbed the peace and quiet of their
neighborhood, and offended the dignity of the law
as administered by this court. It is only neenessary
to state that the fair bnt frail pair went up for five
dollars each.
A case against a negro woman for steal r g a thim
ble was continued.
Green Hansom, negro, up for stealing, was fined
$10 or guardhouse ton days..
Millie Hollis, a notorious black scamp who has
been before this’ court a dozen times, was again
brought np on a charge of disorderly conduct. She
struck a snag this time in the shape of a twenty
dollar fine, or thirty days in the guardhouse on
bread and water.
Crowded Out by tee Ladies.—-The ladies are,
to-day, the best posted folks in Georgia. They
know where ihe best of every thing is to be had.
Yesterday was a beautiful day—old Sol was ont in
all his glory. Ho drew on our consent—not on onr
exchequer for that is low just now-land started for
Riddle’s to havo onr picler tuck, but, alas! it was
no go; bo was full—not Biddle, but his gallery—of
ladies. Wo sidled around and looked at the pic
tures, and across onr nose at the — well, we’re
married—wo won’t say, but you may put a peg
right here, that Riddle gets np pictures in better
taste than any other man in our State by long odds.
Tint remains of Mr. T. N. Maxwell, who killed
himself on Monday night last at the Guardhouse,
was hurried at Rose Hill cemetery, Tuesday after
noon, by the Coroner cf the county. He was bur-
riod in tho ‘*Straoger’s Bow,” and not beside his
mother, as he requested in tho note he penned but
a moment before ho fired tho fatal shot.

TKOM WASHINGTON.
Special to the Telegraph and Messenger, j
Washington. February 28.—It is understood tint
a majority of the Judiciary Committee will report
that several irregularities did occur in organizing
the present Legislature and that a reorganization
will be necessary before the admission of the State.
The action of Gen. Terry In unseating members is
not fully sustained.
The election of Blodgett will be declared illegal, as
the present Legislature expires the presenty^ar and
the new t Legislature haB tije authority io elect a
Senator for tho time to which this Legislature elect
ed Blodgett.
No decision has yet been arrived at as to the
claims of Hill and Millor, or those of the bayonet
Senators. If the Committee declares the former
entitled to seats, there will ha a big fight in the
Senate over their credentials. The committee meets
to-morrow and may come to & final conclusion.
It looks now as though weeks would be consumed
over Georgia, and Texas may come in before her.
Bullock is at Ms old tricks, hut don’t seem to hold
as many tramps as formerly.
Washington, March 1.—Bryant laid before the
members of both houses, to-day, a strong anti-Bnl-
lockpamphlet, entitled “Laws of CongressiaRe
lation to the Georgia Case.”
The Bryant delegation are working vigorously and
are hopeful as to the success of their mission.
Powerful influences will he bronght to bear in the
interest of Georgia, at the proper time. Her
friends aro increasing, especially in the Senate-
Conkling is expected to scarify Bullock when the
Georgia question comes np.
There are many conflicting reports in circulation
regarding the Senatorabips. No decision has yet
been reached "by the Judiciary Committee.
In case of the rejection of Bradley, a strong ef
fort will he made to induce the President to nomi
nate Judge Caldwell, of Arkansas, for Supreme
Judge for the Southern Circuit. Southern and
Western Senators have taken a determined stand
against tho appointment of a Northern man to the
position.
Washington, March 2.—Bullock read a printed
pamphlet before the Judiciary Committee, princi
pally devoted to the abuse of Caldwell, though reb
els, traitors, ku-klux and anti-Bullockites generally
are characteristically denounced. Bullock says he
holds the Governorship at great pecuniary sacrifice
to himself, and is ready to resign if by so doing he
can further the formation of Republican govern
ment in Georgia, but will not resign because of
rebel fault finding and abuse.
No remarks from tho Bryant delegation, or im
portant verbal statement.
The Judiciary Committee reported to the ' jate.
The report details the manner of organization of
the Provisional State Government, and states tho
circumstances attending the organization or the
House and the part taken by Harris. A statement
has been made of tho action of General Terry, in
directing the exclusion of certain persons from the
Legislature until their cases should be favorably re
ported upon by tho Military Commission ho orgar
nized. Three members elect wero thus excluded
and the admission of other persons delayed until
they should be relieved from their political disabili
ties. Upon this histoiy tho Committee is con
strained to oay that, in its opinion, tho boforo
mentioned action of tho military authorities is not
authorized by law. Tho Legislature elected in
Georgia was intended by Congress to take the place
of tho Provisional Government as a permanent one;
this seems perfectly clear, and tho eame view was
taken by the General of tho Army, in Ms order to
Gen. Meado of March 2,18C8.
The correction of any misapprehension of tho act
of Congress could bo made by Congress bnt not by
the military. The action of the Hoaao in afterwards
admitting persons who had been candidates against
persons so excluded, bnt received only a minority of
votes cast, is considered by tho committee a3 un
warranted by law, and persons thus admitted were
not lawfully entitled to seats in tho Legislature.
Committee therefore, report that tho following pro
ceedings of the organization of said Legislature
were not warranted by law: first, in tho control and
direction of its proceedings by Harris, second in ex
clusion from taking oathB, and from their seats of
members elect, who offered to swear in ; third,
reseating of persons not having a majority of votes
in tho election. In conclusion, tho committee stated
that they felt justified in omitting to recommend
further legislation on the subject. It is thought
this report vitiates the election of Blodgett,
Whitely and Farrow. Tho Georgia Bill will not como
up in tho House till tho Indian appropriation bill is
disposed of. _

Another account is dated, Yokohama, January 81,
via San Francisco, March 2: The most terrible ac
cident and horrible exhibition of inhumanity known
in the East, occurred about twenty miles down the
coast, at half past six o’clock, on the evening of
January — The United States steamer Oneida,
homeward bound, collided with the British Peninsu
lar and Oriental iron mail steamer Bombay, Capt.
Arthur Woolsby. Tho Bombay straok the Oneida
on her Btarboard quarter, carrying away her poop
deck and cutting off her wheel, stern and running
one of her timbers entirely through the bows of
the Bombay at the water line three times. The
Oneida hailed the Bombay with “ship, ahoy I- stand
by l Yoa’ve cut ns down!!' Blow her whistle—fired
her guns—all of which the officers of Bombay say
they did not hear, although the guns were distinct
ly heard at the port twenty miles away.
The Oneida went down stern foremast in about
twenty fathoms of water, with £0 officers and 50
men. The Captain of 'the Bombay did not stop to
rescue those on board; nor did he, upon his arrival
here, report the accident or inform the authorities-
The first known of the disaster was tho next morn
ing, when Dr, Suddards, surgeon, with fifteen of
the crew, arrived here on foot. Only two cutters
were available; and the officers, almost' to a man,
refused to take them, while.a man remained on
board. •-*. H

We have already noticed the declension of
Gen. Reynolds of a Texas senatorship. Since
then the text of: his letter deotining the “use of
hjs name” has been published. The following
portion presents in a nutshell the precise point
in the ease of Gen. Ames. No doubt Reynolds
has thus taken the proper view of the law and
the common sense and the decenoy involved in
the matter: “I’have, to be sure,” he says, “re
sided in the State, with trifling intervals, more
than three years, but thw residence has been as
an officer of the army, charged, in addition to
the ordinary duties of my profession, with the
reconstruction laws of Congress. Nothing bnt
the existence of an unprecedented emergency
could warrant the government in placing in the
bands of a single individual the vast power en
trusted by these Jaws to a district commander.
I doubt whether a residence under Bueh condi
tions constitutes an Inhabitant of the State in
the sense in whioh this phrase is nsed in the
Constitution of the United States.
Cubtomxb, (to clerk in a hardware store,)
“Show me a small, lowprioed shears.”
Clerk (facetiously)—•“Perhaps.yon mean a
pair of shears.”
Customer (severely)—'ft mean pricisely what

Clerk (defiantly opening a specimen article)
—“Are there not two blades here ? and don’t
tyro make a pair ?” -
Customer (triumphantly)—“Yol have two

The shears were done up in profound silence.

The market since the date of onr last weekly re

it spears to be in little leas than a paniqy condition.
Prices for the last few days have fallen off with
such startling rapidity as to almost produoe a con
sternation among both buyers and sellers. In such
a condition of the market it is a difficult matter to
give quotations; bnt there is still some pluck left
among onr buyers and they were still investing to

and the market closed quiet at a decline of a J^c

Financial. —fcur money market continues easy,
and good paper has no difficulty in getting accom
modation at tho hanks. Indeed, there is plenty of
money outside of the banks to loan in this market
at the usual bank rates, for money loaned at shoh
rates on good paper is the best investment * capi
talist could make. We are looking for these,
heavy rates of. interest to be taken down a button
hole or two at no distant day. A good borrower,
unless bo is doing a most profitable business, can
not long prosper and pay such rates of iritereet.
But w6 are one of those who believe that money 1
should bring its market value, just like cotton; cbm
or anything else, and if a lender can get 10 percent,
a month for the use of his money, and the borrower
is willing to pay it, we have no objection to the
transaction. The money market like other markets
