'The Greorgia ~Weekly Telegraph and. Journal IVTessenger. Telegraph and Messenger. MACON, APRIL 13 <870. Effect of the Fifteenth Ameuduicnt. Within the last two or three days the tele grams have brought ns the results of sundry lo cal elections in various parts of the country, held under the Fifteenth Amendment, which have by no means justified the radical anticipa tions of party benefit. In every case, so far, they have shown relatively diminished strength. Yesterday’s telegrams announced that the Dem ocrats hadcarried Newark, New Jersey, although the negroes voted—and voted, of course, tho Republican ticket Last year, in the same elec tion, when the negroes did not vote, the Radi cals elected the Mayor of Newark by 484 ma jority. The Democrats have also increased their majority in Albany, and in Ohio and In diana local elections show similar results. On the whole, the indications, so far, are that tho Radicals are in some danger of losing more white than they will gain negro votes, by the operation of the Fifteenth Amendment Some few days ago we intimated the possibility of such a result It will be no recommendation to a great many of the Radical masses that the negroes vote solidly with the party, and es pecially when this result has been obtained through a practical fraud upon the Federal constitution and tho American people. Let no man be surprised, therefore, to find the Rad icals, in the course of a short time, very modest in their vaunts about the support of the blacks, and quite willing to divide the honor, if not the profit, with the Democracy. In due time, we believe the Radicals will be ready to part with their investment in Ethiopian politics at less than cost. But we shall see. The Resnlt-of Cheap Suffrage. Don Piatt says a Thomas cat without claws or teeth, in a garret full of strange Thomases, has about as much chance as a gentleman of culture and education before a nominating con vention at the North or West We suppose he means Radical Conventions, though he does not say so. This was not the case once, bat as the suf frage has been cheapened and degraded, so have the people become vicious and demoral ized. As matters now stand,. it will not be many years before the prizes of office there will bo won, exclusively, by those nearest tho mob in tastes, feelings, habits, and manners. The mob, who all vote and are especially active as politicians, being too worthless for any hon est, steady labor, will not rebnke their own ig norance and dirt by choosing men to represent them who are educated and intelligent, and who wear clean shirts and keep their faces washed. Cheap suffrage is what has filled Congress with such men as Butler, Shanks, Julian, and Logan from tho North. What it has done for the Booth, let the shameless creatures of whom Whittemore and Deweeso are fair specimens, ■answer. If we are not very moeh mistaken oheap suffrage will prove the dearest thing that ■was ever known in this or any other country. ■Reminiscences of an OM Georgia Lawyer. ■ J. J. 'Toon, tho publisher, at - Atlanta, sends ns some advance sheets of this work, soon to be issued by him. It is from the pen of Judge Garnett Andrews, of Wilkes connty, who has had nearly half a century of intimate personal acquaintance with all tho leading legal, and other oelebrities of tho State. We have read them with much interest, and we are sura the book will be very popular. We have had two or three hearty laughs already, and propoco soon to give onr readers the benefit of what amused us. A man who makes tho people laugh these dark days oertainly deserves well of them. Angnsta Horticultural Exhibition. The Cotton States Mechanics’ and Agricultn ral Fair Association will havo & grand horticul- ral exhibition at the Fair Grounds in Angusta on the Uth day of May, to consist of plants and flowers, cut flowers, fruits and vegetables. Rev. Charles W. Howard has been selected a3 the orator of the day. Tho Editors of the Tele graph and-Messenger acknowledge the receipt of a special invitation from Mr. E. H. Gray, the Secretory of the Association, and will try to be represented there. Knows Him. The Boston Post evidently knows Bullock just about as well as the poople down here in •Georgia do. It gives him this complimentary notice whioh we cheerfully publish without • charge. We are very sure Fcmoy would not be as liberal.: “If Governor Bullock’s stories were true, he ought to be made the first subject of military ■ rule and be put under guard and sent home with instructions to discharge his duty and see that the laws are executed, or else vacate his office. The Senate demeans itself and degrades •the country, while it does Georgia the grossest injustice, by suffering tbis inveterate dema gogue and political gamester to leave his post of duty to infest the lobbies and oven encroach upon the seats cf Senators, to ply his art of falsehood, trickery and impudent demand.” A High Average. The Constitutionalist says: Jt is said that an association of Now England capitalists, who are thinking of investing large ly in Southern enterprises, have recently pnt thcmrelves to a great deal of expense to find out the price of votes in all the Legislatures of ton South. Tho rasnlt shows that tho average price is eleven dollars thirty-seven and a half cents per dozen, with a liberal discount to wholesale dealers. The odd cents would be an extravagant aver age for some of the members of (Bullock’s agency, though they may sell for more. We gnoes Bollock’s crowd is about tho cheapest lot that has ever been offered. Stanton, the big Alabama dealer, could get tho most liberal dis count ho.has traded on, yet. “Ain’t Got No More Use for Him.” The Newbem Journal of Commerce says that the body of a negro man, drowned about two weeks since, was recovered on Tuesday, and, after tho inquest was held, permitted to remain in the water within tho corporate limits until the birds of prey had horribly mutilated the re mains. “Wo were struck," says that paper, “by a remark made by a colored man, in al luding to tho affair. Said he: ‘The poor fel low can’t vote no more, and the carpet-baggers ain’t got no more use for him. That’s why they letihe buzzards eat him! ” Malting Up a Presidential Ticket. The Savannah Republican, cf Wednesday, says. The italics are ours: Such men as Chase, of Ohio, and Jenkins, of Georgia, in the two highest Federal positions wonld give the country bo tha vigorous and con servative administration, steering toe snip of state off the rocks and quicksands of revolution and mooring it safely in constitutional waters. We are probably as averse as the next one to Mr. Chase’s political reoord of former years, having no approval for it whatever, and had we the appointment of a President we wonld select a different man; but we are now speaking for the country, and dealing with the contingencies and possibilities of the day. He is at least cafe in his constitutional views, a friend of peace, and the best man at the North whom we conld elect Whatever may be the objections of the Southern people toward him—and we concede they are just—they must remember that sick men take physic not because they like it, but be cause it restores them health. And besides, if we are to live in peaco in this country, the harsh memories of toe past must be discarded, as least as the regulators of -our conduct in the grave af fairs of state. The interests of the present and future are too east, and claim too much of our thoughts and attention, for either to be vexed with the issues and quarrels of the dead past. The Presidential election is a long way off, but too South, and indeed too whole country, have so much at stake that we feel that the pub lic mind cannot too early be directed to what we believe to bo a channel of safety. Is this the paper that almost went into hys terics because the Telegraph and Messenger took too position that toe Bingham amendment ought to have Southern and Democratic sup port—that lectured us so sternly for declaring it tho part of wisdom for our people in the pre sent crisis to do toe best they could, and to be governed by realities and not sentimentalities ? Then we were recreant for using almost toe identical language quoted abovo in setting forth toe true policy as we oonceived it, for toe people to adopt. We dealt then, as we hope always to do, “with too contingencies and pos sibilities of toe day.” We advised the swal lowing of too physic, not because we liked it, but because it was a choice between that and something worse; because wo were sure toe other dose would kill, while this one held out some hope of leaving us alive with a chance of restoration to health. We are glad to see toe Republican coming to our position. It is a late convert, to be 6ure, but this sort generally are filled with great zeal in toe work. We express no opinion as to the composition of the Republican’s ticket, because it is entirely out of the range of probabilities as they appear to ns. Besides, it is too early to go into the business of nominations. There is no telling the changes that will come over toe spirit of toe political dream of tha country in tho next two years. Those who are friends n<Jw, maybe making mouths at each other with great unction, whilo deadly enemies may bo swearing eternal amity. It is very certain that the contest of 1872 will not be fought on the issues that almost exclusively divided toe people in 1868, and as toe issues will be fresh, so, perhaps, the neces sities of too situation may demand fresh men. Tho leaders who, in the preliminary skirmishes before toe great battle prove themselves most potent in handling tho weapons of anti high tariff and taxation, no matter what they are now, nor how employed, will, all other things being equal, come to toe front and lead the oonntry’s friends to victory. Thz Rome Daily loams that a sanguinary war is being waged in St. Glair county, Alabama, between John O. Brown and friends, and Jack Springfield and friends. On Saturday evening last the parties met near Ashvillo and exchanged some forty or fifty shots, toe SpriDgfield crowd losing two men badly wounded. Monday morn ing toe engagement was reopened, but we did not leam tho result. Gov. Smith, of Alabama, has issued a procla mation declaring that, in consequenco of a dis- • orderly state of affairs in too counties of Greene Morgan and Tuscaloosa, he has determined to “organize at least one company of militia for continuous active service in each of oaid coun ties, until satisfactory evidence is adduced that life, liberty and property are entirely safe from lawless violence; provided there is an indica- • tion from any respectable nnmber of law-abid ing citizens in those respective connties of any wish on their part for any such organization of jnilitia." Distinguished “Dead Beats.” The Poughkeepsie (N. Y.) News charges Grant, Robeson, Belknap, Cox and Cresswel with dead beating toe Hudson River Railroad on their recent trip to Troy to attend General Thomas’ fnneral. We quote as follows: Shortly after leaving toe city they were called upon, in common with other passengers, for their tickets. They stated that they had none. They were then asked to pay their fare. This they peremptorily refused to do, giving the con ductor, Harry Stovens, to understand that their exalted positions should insure them free con veyance. The conductor told them that his in structions were to pass no “dead heads” over the road, and that if they did not comply with toe rules he should be obliged to stop the train and put them off. Thus things remained until the arrival of toe train at Poughkeepsie, when the conductor threatened to disconnect the car which con tained toe distinguished party. But before pro ceeding any further, Superintendent Touchy was acquainted with the case, and that gentle man took the responsibility to “trust” them for their fare as far as Albany. And toe “dead beats” were permitted to go on, no donbt re joicing at the victory they had gained over an humble conductor. Tbe Rejuvenated South. We shall agree with the Mobile Register that it is a “ marvel to the world” how the South has risen in five years from what was apparently oomplete prostration to great prosperity, and to promise far greater. Southern credit has been re-established on a firm basis, and advances are made with a confidence equal to anything that preceded the dark days of 1861. Cotton has mounted his throne, and is again “kiDg”— though no longer of an iniquitous realm. He was a crownless monarch five years ago, and now, we are told, his last year’s crop was 2,700,- ■000 commercial bales, 3,000,000 bales of 400 pounds each, in value equal to $309,000,000. Tuesday’s European telegram told us that toe dispatches from Calcutta announce that the Earl of Mayo, Governor-General of India, is makings tour of the cotton-growing districts of that coun try, urging upon tho people the necessity of toe increased cultivation of cotton in order to com pete successfully with the United States. The Governor-General has need of great eloquence to overcome such statistics as those we have just presented. Nor is this all. The Mobile Regis ter tells us also that Virginia in 1868 sold one hundred thousand tons of her products, while her mines of iron, coal, lead, copper and gyp' sum “are now, with the aid of Northern capital and energy, worked mere satisfactorily than ever before j” that South Carolina paid an in ternal revenue tax of two and a half millions, and a State tax of one million, and greatly re duced her debt; that twenty great railroads are constructing in toe two Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, while Delaware, '.Maryland, WestVir- gina, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, have about forty new lines under way; that the tobacco crop of last year amounted to 225,000,000 pounds, valued at thirty-seven million dollars, the rico crop 55,- 000 tierces, being an increase of 80,000 over the preceding year, and toe sugar crop 80,8000 or 85,000 hogsheads, against'37,547 for 1867. The ontlook for the year to come is brighter yet. Immigration is adding variety and quanti ty of skilled labor; enfranchisement of the blacks and the settlement of political issues is disposing all parties to quiet work and wages too quantity of land under cultivation is in creased day by day4 the returns from past ven tures are forming capital for new ones. North ern money enterprise and energy are reinforc ing Southern. In brief, the skies are bright for toe new Sonth, and the wonders wronght by tho war will soon be rivalled in their grandeur and their rapidity cf consummation by the marvel ous transformation of peaco.—N. 7. Times. The Philadelphia Star says: “Dr. Hewson, a well known physician of this city, and an advo cate of ‘the dry earth treatment of wounds, concerning which there was such a lively discus sion some months ago, has continued this method of treating wounds with very favorable results. In a late medical jonrnal he cites a case of compound fractures of the leg, the limb being kept at rest by means of sand bags. In too. absence of these, dry earth was substituted, which had too effect of entirely dispelling toe offensive odor of toe wound, and their use was continued with toe most happy results; toe earth was changed every three or four days. Again he states, that a man affected with scurvy, which had resisted all other treatment, was en tirely cured by being buried up to the neck in oil for about twenty minutes.” Amicus.—Wo must withhold toe fire of this writer on the allopaths for our next number. No room for it to-day; and, besides, we don’t like to mask a battery upon tbe doctors when they are in such force as they are now. Foe Future Delivery.—Murray, Ferris & Co.’s Cotton Circular for tlie week ending the Oth inst. quotes sales of 13,280 bale* of cotton for future delivery at 22£ for April; 224for May; 22j for June, and 22} for July. Tlie Georgia Press. The Columbus Sun proposes a dinner to the negro firemen of that city, in consideration of their efficiency and past valuable services. The Rev. R. A. Holland has been leotoring in Columbus on “Jerusalem,” and “What will he do with it”? The Son says: Badly Hubt.—A horse attached to a buggy took fright yesterday afternoon, near the south end of Oglethorpe street. Two ladies were thrown out and badly injured. One, Miss Fanny Bevel], had an arm fractured; the other, Mrs. Edge, daughter of Mrs. Wacasa, of Girard, had her spine injured by the wheels passing over it. One of the Blodgett family has just returned from the North, where he purchased a dozen engines for his pa’s railroad. Of coarse he gets his little commissions on the purchase. A skating rink has been opened in Athens. We quote, as follows, from toe Watchman: Late Seeing.—We hear toe remark on all sides, and onr own recollection fully accords with it, that the present is toe most backward spring within the memory of the “oldest inhab- iltml All 4Vin /tnvln nlonfn/1 vtaaaIaKIaC nnil itant.” All toe early planted vegetables and most of toe early blooming fruits were destroyed by frosts and freezes some time ago, while toe vegetables since planted have a very sickly ap pearance. In consequence of toe extraordinary cold and otherwise unpropitious weather, farming opera tions are unusually backward in all toe region around and above this place. Sale of Watee Powee.—Tho superior water power formerly known as “Tallassee Mills,” but more recently as “Pair’s Factory,” together with toe buildings attached, was sold at Sheriff's sale on Tuesday last, Messrs. Stanley, Moss & Co. becoming the purchasers, at $10,100. This is very valuable property of the kind. Wheat.—The wheat generally in this section, though not as forward as usual, looks remarka bly well—the stand being uniformly good, and the young grain having a promising appearance. CoL Chas. W. Howard will deliver toe inau gural address at the Horticultural exhibition, at Augusta, toe 11th of May. Over $13,000 worth of stock have been sub scribed to toe Columbus Industrial Association. Geo. W. Gustin, Esq., of this city, was ad mitted to practice in the United States Circuit Court, at Savannah, on Tuesday. In Chatham Superior Court, on Monday, Judge Schley decided that the salary of a clerk is not subject to garnishment In the U. S. Circuit Court at Savannah, Tues day, it was ruled that where no issuable pleas are filed and cases are otherwise in fault, plain tiffs may take verdicts at once. The case of the United States vs. Solomon Cohen, debt on a postoffice bond, was set down for trial yesterday morning. Of the proceedings in toe U. S. District Court, the Republican reports: In toe case of the United States vs. Carter Contrier, an employe in the post-office at Au gusta, charged in two counts—1st. Breaking open a letter, and 2d, Embezzlement—toe de fendant plead guilty to the charge in toe first count, and a ml. pros, was entered in the case of toe second count. Messrs. Hartridge and Williams appeared as counsel for the defendant, and after an eloquent appeal for mercy by Mr. Williams, in which it was alleged that this unfortunate young man was in the habit of appropriating one-half his salary to toe support of his widowed mother, he was sentenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars and costs, and be imprisoned six months in toe Chatham county jail. The Republican has the following notice of the Fifteenth Amendment celebration in Savan nah on Tuesday. The colored people of the city turned out yes terday in large numbers to celebrate toe passage of the Fifteenth Amendment. The colored axe companies and toe several colored societies turned out in force, with music and banners, and marched through the principal streets, and finally arrived at a stand which had been erected under toe big oak in the parade ground south of the Park. The meeting was organized by elect ing James Porter, chairman. An address was delivered by a young mulatto man, very little of which we were able to hear, for toe reason that toe colored people were gen erally engaged in conversation with each other during toe progress of its delivery. In fact, a large proportion of the andience appeared to take bat little interest in the proceedings. There was a small field piece on toe ground, which was fired occasionally during toe after noon. There were, perhaps, two thousand colored people, including men, women and children, present, and, as far we know, perfect order pre vailed. No white man took any part in the pro ceedings, and very few were on the ground. A noticeable feature of the celebration was five ladies of toe Beach Institute seated in an elegant carriage, with a colored driver in livery. A little girl, aged four years, daughter of Mr. John Green, of Augusta, was run over by a street car on Tuesday, and had both of her legs broken below the knee. Mrs. Z. T. Huguley, wife of Judge Huguley, of Pike county, died Tuesday. Mr. YT. R. Grantham, of Atlanta, had his foot severely injured, Wednesday. A few months ago he was crushed between two cars and badly injured. Last Saturday his brother-in-law was badly hart by falling from a car. An educational meeting held at Decatur, Tuesday night, was addressed by Gen. Gordon and State Senator Chandler. Over $2,000 was subscribed on the spot. Under the head, “Interesting Case,” the Con stitution says: An interesting ease was tried on yesterday, before Justice Spencer. Mr. James H. Calloway had instituted suit on eight promissory notes for room rent, against the Republican Associa tion, composed of William Markham, M. G. Dobbins, H. P. Farrow, James Atkins, J. B. Dumble, and W. L. Scruggs. The notes were signed “W. L. Scruggs, for Republican Asso ciation.” The Association, it is claimed, only occupied the rooms for two months, and too notes sued on were for months subsequent. Justice Spencer decided that Mr. Calloway was justly entitled to his rent, and that Mr. Scruggs was clearly, liable. But the plaintiff failed to prove that Scruggs was a_partner or an authorized agent to sign any obligation binding said Association. Although he was employed by toe Association for specifio purposes that gave him no such right, as claimed for him by plaintiff. Judgment for defendants. Pebsonal.—Wo had the pleasure yesterday of meeting with Mr. S. D. Harris, of Cleveland, Ohio, and the editor of the Ohio Farmer. Mr. Harris is on an agricultural missionary tour through Georgia, and isspendingsome time in this city with his son, Col. A. L. Harris, of toe Western and Atlantio Railroad.—Atlanta Era. Uth. A la “Captain Wragg,” we suppose. That’s bad for our people, surely. Wragg skinned his victims awfully. From Chattooga county the Rome ■Courier reports a garrison of sixty soldiers at Bummer ville. Their campaign so far has resulted in toe capture of four stills. The county is entirely quiet The Rome Daily sermonizes after thin fashion: The true prosperity of our State depends upon our people, and not upon our politicians. More depends upon planting com and peas, and beans, apon raising pork and beef, upon building up our manufacture, and opening out our wonderful mineral wealth, than upon all toe United States Congress together. The copper interest of North Georgia is of more importance to toe State than a pen full of Bullock’s, with all their brazen faces. • Mark A. Cooper, with his iron, is doing more to raise Georgia out of the dust, than Bryant, Brown and CaldwelL Our own Nobles are performing a nobler work for onr peoplo than Dr. Miller or Joshua Hill Every ton of iron they drag from the bowels of tho earth is worth moro to our prosperity than all toe speeches over uttered by Bullock. Tho spado, so dexterously handled by toe operators of Capt. E. G. Barney, are far more efficacious than too votes of all the niggers from the Sa vannah to the Apalachicola. Then why exercise ourselves about the mis erable farca of reconstruction? The entire system is a lie. Congress is a fraud—toe Union a swindle—toe Constitution of no more virtue than telegraphic reports ten years dead. Let us turn rather to our home resources. Keep these well developed; eschew debt and extrava gance ; make all we can, and keep all we make, and let Congress, Bullock, Butler and Grant go to “where the woodbine twineth.” Mr. Samuel Scott, of Spaulding county, has patented a distributing plow, which the Griffin Georgian says will distribute anything. It will drill wheat, cotton seed, oats, or any grain, and it is claimed that it will plant com. We quote as follows from toe Covington En terprise : Paealysis.—We regret to leam that Major Charles Strong is very dangerously ill from the effects of a paralytic stroke on Friday night last, which is toe third attack of toe kind from which he suffers. At the present writing, Thursday morning, be is reported slightly im proving, but yet in a very critical condition and little hope of his recovery is entertained. Damaged! Lightning.—In the thunder storm of last Saturday, a very vivid flash of lightnine was observed about noon at the residence of Mrs. Rakestraw, near Starrsville, in Newton county, which was afterwards found to have struck in the horse lot, about 150 yards from house, killing two mnles and destroying two trees. The most remarkable part of too phe nomenon was that there wore four mules in the lot, two in each of two stables situated some thirty yards apart, and the same stroke of light ning killed one mule in each stable, leaving the others unhurt, and tore to pieces the two trees, one a persimmon and the other an oak, about tho same distance apart as the stables. The Albany News says toe farmers of that section are all behind hand with their planting, but the good weather this week has given every thing a shove, and toe cotton crop will soon be all planted. The Americas Republican says the negroes of that place are going to ran men of their own color for all the municipal offices at toe next election. Nelly Patterjon, colored, aged 102 years, was burned to death whilo washing, near Americas, Tuesday. Sumter Superior Court is now in session. In the suit of Jowers Windsor vs. P. H. Oliver, for slander, the jury gave toe plaintiffs $4,000, They asked for $10,000. John Robinson, alias Stewart was found guilty of burglary at night. The survey of the route for the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad, west of Newnan, was begun Thursday morning. W. X Williams, agent at Augusta for the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, as representative of that corporation, was fiued five dollars by the Mayor, Thursday, for vio lating a city ordinance prohibiting the running of traits through the streets faster than five miles an hour. Bill Singleton, a black scoundrel who raped and murdered a young white girl, at Beaufort, S. C., in 1866, was arrested in Savannah on Wednesday. We suppose he will be taken back to South Carolina and pardoned by Scott, toe so-cilled Governor of that State. We quote, as follows, from toe Savannah Re publican, of Friday: Georgia Teachers’ Association.—We havo received, and shall publish in a day or two the announcement by the Secretary of the approach ing meeting of this Association, to bo held in this city on too 3d, 4th and 5th of May. The programme shows an exceedingly interesting list of papers and subjects for discussion, and we observe the names of somo quite distin guished speakers. Addresses are set down for Hon. H. W. Hilliard, of Augusta, Hon. Solo mon Cohen, of Savannah, and B. Sears, D. D., Agent of toe Peabody Education Fund. Challenge to Fight a Duel.—We leam that two colored boys, each about nineteen years of age, had a quarrel yesterday, all about a yaller gal, whioh resulted in a challenge to mortal combat. The weapons chosen were case knives, and toe place an unoccupied house in toe south western section of the city. Seconds were cho sen and just as the fight was about to commence a police officer made his appearance, when the whole party dispersed, and toe tragedy indefi nitely postponed. Mr. John P. Fam, a native of New Jersey, but for fifty years a citizen of Augusta, died Thursday. The local of toe Columbus Enquirer is “as sured by a gentleman who has every facility for knowing, that there is no longer tho slightest donbt of the removal of tha wood and iron shops of this company from Macon to this point. In fact, movements in that direction are now actively going on, and toe present year at toe Southwestern depot will be an active one.” Well, seeing is believing. We will wait and see whether it turns out bo. The ladies of ColnmBuK will decorate toe graves of the Confederate dead on the 26!h in stant. The address will bo delivered by T. W, Grimes, Esq. The Son has toe following items: Amount of Guano Sold.—We saw yesterday every one that we thought dealt in guano, and asked an approximation of actual sales, thus far. The total amounts to i3,530 tons. The greater proportion has been sold at $80 and be yond that amouat per ton. Taking the lowest figure we find that toe country whoso radius does not exceed 50 miles has already expended for fertilizers $282,400. At 20o. per ponnd, it will take 2,824 bales of cotton (500 lbs. to the bale) to pay foe it. The whole oi last year only 2,600 tons of fer tilizers were s«ld. Broke an Aim.—A man named Goo. Peddy, while noon a ladder engaged in whitewashing a portinn’of tot Eagle and Phoenix Manufactoiy building, Tuesday afternoon, fell and broke his right arm. Ee fell about twenty feet. Winter an* Spring.—A runaway conple from Alabama, the groom -70, the bride 18, were mar ried by justice MoCahey Wednesday night' Neither party had much of worldly goods. We publisled, in this column yesterday, a statement from the Chronicle and Sentinel of the day before that the Directors of the Geor gia Railroad, at a recent meeting, had resolved to build the Athena and Rabnn Gap Railroad; had accepted a contract for building the West ern Railroad from Atlanta to Decatur; and had also resolved to buy half toe stock in too At lanta and West Point Railroad, in order to de feat too designs of tho Central Railroad. The same paper next day modifies its statements, very materially, as follows: In regard to too extension of toe road from Athens to Rabun Gap no resolution was passed declaring that toe proposed road between these two points should be built: but a pledge was re newed that this road will be constructed when ever the Company shall feel satisfied that the road from Knoxville to Rabun Gap (toe Blue Ridge Railroad) will be completed. With regard to building too Western Railroad from Atlanta to Decatur in North Alabama, no contract fordoing the work was accepted. But our information was correct with regard to too offers made. The proposal to build this impor tant line of communication was read bntno def inite action token upon it at that meeting, bnt a committee was appointed, whose duty it will be to investigate the subject and report. No resolution was passed to buy half the stock in the Atlanta and West Point railroad, for the Georgia railroad already owns a con trolling interest in that railroad, 'and has noth ing to fear from toe Central railroad. Bat there has been a proposition made to the Geor gia Railroad Company to take enough of toe stock of tho Montgomery and Opelika railroad to enable it to neutralize toe interest which toe Central railroad has acquired, and whioh it has used to divert too trade of Alabama from its legitimate channel, and take it to Savannah. No final action was taken with regard to toe pnrehose of tbis stock, bnt a committee was appointed to attend the next meeting of the stockholders of the Opelika road, and investi- pate the condition of toe affairs of too Com- gany. The Talbotton Standard says cotton planting is progressing finely in that county. Com promises to bo a good stand. Up to date tho wheat crop is splendid. The Talbotton negroes are building a spacious church, in which they have been liberally aided by toe whites. The Standard hopes they will not allow it to bo prostituted to political purpo ses. Bullock will arrive at Atlanta to-night, the papers say. Medical students are arriving in Atlanta, to attend too May term of the college there. The lumber trade of Atlanta is brisk. One dealer has received twenty car loads and has sixty moro to come. THE IXCOJIE TAX. Mark r wain's Interview with an Assessor, and What Caine of It. The first notice that was taken of me when I “settled down,” recently, was by a gentleman who said he was an assessor, and connected with the United States Internal Revenue De partment I said I had never heard of his branch of business before, but I was very glad to see him—all the same—would he sit down ? He sat down. I did not know anything partic ular to say, and yet I felt that people who have arrived at the dignity of keeping boose mnst be conversational, mnst be easy and sociable in company. So in default of anything else to say I asked him if be was opening bis shop in onr neighborhood. He said he was. [I did not wish to appear ignorant bnt had hoped he wonld mention what ho had for sale.] < I ventured to ask him “How was trade ?” and he said, “So-so.” I then said we wonld drop in, and if we liked his house as well as any other, we wonld give him onr custom. He said he thought we wonld like his estab lishment well enough to confine ourselves to it Said he never saw anybody who wonld go off and hunt up another man in his line, after trading with him once. That sonnded very complacent, bnt barring that natural expression of villainy which we all have, the man looked honest enough. I do not know how it eame about oxactly, bnt gradually we appeared to melt down and run together, conversationally speaking, and then everything went along as comfortably as clock work. Vie talked, and talked, and talked—at least I did. And we laughed, and laughed, and laugh ed—at least he did. But all the time I had my presence of mind about me—I had my native shrewdness turned on “full head,” as the engi neers say. I was determined to find ont all about his business, in spite of his obscure an swers ; and I was determined I would have it out of him without his suspecting what I was at. I meant to trap him with a deep, deep ruse. I would tell him all about my own business, and he wonld naturally so warm to me during this seductive burst of confidence that he would tell me all about his affairs before he suspected what I was about. I thought to myself, my son, you little know what an old fox yon are dealing with. I said: “Now you never wonld guess what I made lecturing this winter and last spring?” ‘‘No—don’t believe I conld to save me. Let me see—let me see—about $2,000 may be? Bnt no—no, sir, I know you could not have made that much. Say $1,700may be?” “Ha-ha! I knew yon couldn’t. My lecturing receipts for last spring and this winter were fourteen thousand seven hundred and fifty dot lars—what do yon think of that ?” “Why it is amazing—perfectly amazing, will make a note of it. And you say even this wasn’t all?” “All! Why.bloss you, there was my income from the Buffalo Express for four months— about—about—well, what should you say to abont eight thousand dollars for instance ?” “Say! Why Ishonld like to see myself rolling in just snch another ocean of afilnence. Eight thousand! I’ll make a note of it Why, man * And on top of all this, I am to understand that yon had still more income ?” “Ha-ha-ha 1 Why, you’re only in toe suburbs of it, so to speak. There’s my book, ‘The In- nocents Abroad,’ price $3.50 to $5, according to the binding. Listen to me. Look me in toe eye. Daring the last four months and a half, saying nothing of the sale before that but just simply daring the four months and a half end ing March 15th, 1870, we’ve sold ninety-five thousand copies of that book! Ninety-five thousand! Think of it. Average four dollars a copy, say. It nearly four hundred thousand dollars, my son. I get half.” “The suffering Moses! I'll set that down. Fonrteen-seven-fifty—eight—two hundred To tal, say—well, upon my word, toe grand total is abont two hundred and thirteen or fourteen thousand dollars. Js that possible ?”. ‘Possible! If there’s any mistake it’s the other way. Two hundred and fourteen thouS' and, cash, is my income for this year if I know how to cipher.” Then the gentleman got up to go. It came over me most uncomfortably that may be that I had made my revelations for nothing, besides being flattered into stretching them consider ably by the stranger’s astonished exclamations. Bnt no; at last the gentleman banded mo £ large envelope and said it contained his adver tisement ; and that I wonld find ont all abont his business in it. As soon as he was gone, I opened his adver tisement. I studied it attentively for fonr min utes. I then called up the cook and said: “Hold me while I faint. Let Maria tom toe batter cakes.” Bye and bye, when I came to, I sent down to the rum mill on the comer and hired an artist by the week to set np nights and curse that stranger, and give me a lift occasionally in the day time when I came to a hard place. Ah, what a miscreant he was! His “adver tisement” was nothing in the world but a wicked tax return. It was plain that that stranger had enabled me to make an ass of myself. It was very, very plain, and I went out and hired another artist. By working on my vanity the stranger had seduced me into declaring an income of SI 14,000. By law, $1,000 of this was exempt from income tax, the only relief I could see, and it was only a drop in toe ocean. At the legal five per cent, I must pay over to the govern ment the appalling sum of $10,650 income tax. [I may remark in this place, that I did not do it.] A New Rebellion—Riotous Conduct of a Early of Raiders from New York. On Saturday night a largo nnmber of laborers for the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad, from New York, passed through the city, and wore taken down the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad, where they had been engaged to work. The greater part of them were good men, bnt there were some thirty or forty of them of the regular Billy Wilson Zonave style, who only camo down to go through tho conntry, and had not the least idea of doing any work. These proposed to stop in Chattanooga, bnt the offi cers of the road were too sharp for that, and took them through here at night. When they found themselves, on Sunday morning, at toe terminus of tho road, these roughs took pos session of one of toe cars, and demanded that they should be taken back, and they were only gotten rid of by detaching the car they were in from the train. After this they amused them selves by catting toe mess-tents np with their knives, and by threatening to go through the store of Col. Richards, the Commissary of the road. Yesterday morning they still kept possession of the ears, and compelled toe conductor to take them along, stoutly refusing to pay their fare or remain and go to work. A telegram was at once sent to Mayor Rathbnm, announcing the faots, and the Marshal, with all the available police force, were sent to too depot to await the arri val of tho train. For rear the police wonld be insufficient, the Mayor called on Colonel Ilges, Commander of the Post, for a company of sol diers. Tho troops were placed on each side of toe track to prevent any escapes; and, when tho train arrived, at 4:S0 r. ir., the police arrested twenty-two of the roughs and took them to the jail. Afterwards, eight more were taken, and wo believe some four or five are still at large, as fifteen or twenty are reported to have jumped off the train near the Vulcan Works. We think it was well that the soldiers were on hand, for we understand that some of these men made their boasts that they intended to get money enough ont of Chattanooga to take them home, and they wonld havo been likely to clean ont the police without toe presence of the troops. We understand that this same gang sacked a jewelry store at Cleveland, Tenn., Saturday night. The owner of the store has been telegraphed for and will be here to-morrow. The conduct of this crowd has been on a par with this ever since they left New York. The Knoxville Press and Herald, of Sunday, says: Four hundred laborers en route for toe Ala bama and ChattanoogaKailroad, passed through here yesterday on a special train, which fol lowed the passenger going down. We were in formed by passengers on the regular passenger train, who were from the East, and had often come in contact with them while on toe road from New York to Knoxville, that they made a regular practice of robbing stores and business houses at every station on the route. The apple peddlers at toe depots had their entire stock confiscated by them.—Chattanooga Times, 12th. FROM WASH1XGTOX. The Promised Amnesty—The Tennessee Disorders—A Slew Deal for Georgia—Dis cussion of the Georgia Bill, etc. Washington, April 13, 1870. Editors Telegraph and MessengerThe promised proclamation of amnesty has not yet made its appearance. Nor yet a message to Congress recommending a general amnesty bill. One, or both had been promised by the Presi dent, contingent npon the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment. There has, however, been brought to bear on him such a pressure that he not only refrains from any action in the matter, but denies using words in rela tion to it which certain Congressmen readily re- calk It is urged by snch sheets as Forney’s Chronicle that a general amnesty would be ruin ous to the interest of toe loyal men in the Sonth, i. e. the carpet-baggers—and perhaps it wonld, thongh in a different sense from that implied by these partizan sheets. The fact is, tho Radi cals fear—and with good cause—that if recon struction wa3 over, and a general amnesty pro claimed, their chances of success at the coming Presidential election wonld be exceedingly small. Tho Now York Tribune, alone of too leading Radical journals, demands that an end be pnt to reconstruction and a general amnesty grant ed. It counsels are unheeded, however. Georgia will be kept out in tho cold as long possible, and if n State election does take place before 1872, it will be held under the recon struction laws, and with twenty thousand white voters disfranchised.

Mr. P. F. Church, Editor of the Galaxy: Deab Sir : My own paper, the Buffalo Ex press, does not occupy my entire time, and therefore I accept your offer, and from the present time forward will edit and conduct a Department of Agriculture” in toe Galaxy Magazine. I thank you for leaving me the se lection of a department; and in choosing that of Agriculture I feel that my judgment has an swered yonr highest expectations. I have not made this choice at haphazard. After carefnl survey of the ground, I saw that the snbjeot of Agriculture had been wholly over looked by the magazines of the day as a sensa tional topio, and that all that was necessary for ns to do was to enter in and seize this rich op portunity. Fortune is secure to us. * Nothing can prevent snch a consummation. In this vir gin soil I will insert a reaping hook that shall blossom as the rose; upon this sailless desert I will launch a triumphal barge; in this deep mine of afilnence will I plant a sturdy tree of prosperity whose fragrance will slake the hun ger of the naked, and whose sheltering branches shall stretch abroad until they wash the shores of the remotest lands of earth. (I never can touch the subject of Agriculture without getting excited. Bat yon understand what I mean.) Under the head of “ Memoran da” I shall take hold of this neglected topio, and by means of a series of farming and graz ing articles of blood-curdling interest will pro ceed to lift the subject of Agriculture into the first rank of literary respectability. Herewith please find my manuscript for yonr May num ber. Mask Twain. P. S.—I have no practical knowlege of Agri culture, bnt that need not interfere. Yon may have noticed that the less I know abont a sub ject toe more confidence I have, and the more new light I throw on it.
