MACON, MAT SI !870.
-r.> A CARD
Ths undersigned begs to inform his friends
in different parts of the State, who sre mem
bers of the State Agricultural Society, that self-
respect requires a withdrawal of his name as a
candidate for the office of Secretary of that So
ciety.
O. W. Howabd.
Information Wanted.
A correspondent at Marehallville sends the
following, which will interest many parties
here:
Mysteriously disappeared, on the night of the
17th inst., ono Joseph Weber, a German, about
fifty-three years of age, and abont five feet two
inches high. Will weigh abont 120 pounds.
He has been four years in tho United States.
A tailor by trade. He has followed the occupa
tion of gardening since he has been in this
country. Speaks but very little English. Head
bald. Wears heavy moustache.
He was in the employ of Mr. A. H. Afflick,
of Marshallville, Macon county, Ga., when he
disappeared. Mr. Afflick will feel grateful for
any information concerning him. The atten
tion of Mr. Weber's friends in Macon are espe
cially called to this notice.
Agricultural Arithmetic.
Mr. R. B. Clayton brought ns, yesterday, a
cluster of Bye stalks, the product of one grain,
procured from a field belonging to Mr. Brewer,
in Vineville. The cluster measures seven feet
four incheB in height The heads will average
a little less than Beven inches in length—there
are 107 of them, and the average of grains to
the ear is 89 or thereabouts; so that wo have
here 9,500 grains as the multiplication of
single seed grain. If this be the product of a
single grain, (and those who have examined it
Bay it is;) it exceeds anything we ever read of,
and it is a solemn sermon to those who talk
about Georgia’s not being a good grain coun
try, and it is better to bring onr breadstuff's
from the West. Gentlemen, hold your peace.
If God will reward the producer at the rate of
nine thousand for one, and he thereupon goes
to Missouri to buy bread, is it not flying into
the face of Providence ?
A Deluge of Public Waste.
The New York Herald, of Saturday, pro
claims that both political parties are gone up,
and the conntry is abont to enter upon an era
of unparalleled waste, plander and profligacy,
which will astonish’ mankind. There is no

Badical party which can
There is nothing in the way of waste, proflig&r
cy, corruption and tyranny, of which they have
not been guilty. And as for the dissolution of
parties, lay not that flattering unction to your
soula! The Democratic party of America has
a grand and holy mission before It, and is mov
ing onward to its accomplishment That mis
sion is to restore the supremacy of the Consti
tution and the equipoise of the American polit
ical system. For this grand and patriotic work,
it is gathering new strength every hour, and it
will never rest until it is accomplished.
Illinois ox unit Railroads.—The new Illinois
Constitution goes for the speculative managers
of her railroads after thi3 fashion: “Every
company chartered by the State must make all
transfers of stock and keep its books at an
office within the State. All rolling stock and
movable property are made liable to execution
and sale. Consolidation with a parallel or com
peting lino is forbidden. The majority of the
directors of a company chartered by the State,
must be citizens and residents of the State. All
the railways in the State are declared to be
public highways, and the Legislature is to fix
the maximum rates for the carrying of pas-
Bengera and freights. No company shall issue
stock or bonds except for money or value ac
tually received and applied to its corporate
purposes; all stock dividends and other fictitious
increase of capital stock or indebtedness shall
be void; and no increase of capital stock shall
be valid unless after sixty days public notice.”
Mew Books,
From tho publisher, Carleton, New York,
throngh Havens & Brown, we have three
very promising looking novels, respectively en
titled “Honor Bright,*' by tho author of Mal-
brook; “Bobert Greathouse,” an American
novel, by John Franklin Swift; and “Gently or
Not Gently,” anonymous. We have barely
had time to run a very busy eye over tho pages
of each, and therefore cannot speak positively
of their merits. We do know, however, that
Gadeton does not usually put trash on the mar
ket, and we therefore are fully prepared to
hear a most favorable verdict as to each.
No Need Fob Ice.—If we could get to read
such paragraphs as the.following from Forney’s
Press, of Friday, all through the summer, we
hardly think Ells would get much of our money
for ice. For oool they beat that commodity out
of sight Just think of Forney with poor Bol
lock’s hard earnings bulging out his pocket al
most to the point of bursting, talking about any
body’s being “venal!”
We should be very, slow to intimate that there
was anyting “venal” in Mr. Ferry’s violent pet
tifogging in.behalf of. bis rebel clients. He
spoke, however, in a way which might have led
a hearer to suppose that he expeoted to be paid
for Mg services in Confederate enrrenoy when
his clients, Jefferson Davis, Breckenridge, et
ah, shonld be readmitted to seats in tho Senate,
Miss Mitfobd, writing of a certain authoress,
says: “She is ugly, of course; all literary la
dies are so. ' I never met one in my life (exoepl
Miss Jane Porter, and she is rather passee,j that
might not have served for a scarecrow to keep
the birds from the cherries. It’s a prodigiously
strange and disagreeable peculiarity.”
Fob the present term of the Circuit Court for
Richland Parish, of South Carolina, there are
eleven negroes and seven whitemen on the jury,
and 21 negroes and ten whites drawn as petit
jurors. We hope none of on r white friends
over there have any business in that court, this
term. “I • - ■
Woman Suffrage.—The whole State of Ver
mont has been canvassed, as to the women, on
the question of female suffrage. The Burling
ton Free Press statea as the result, that “nine-
tenths of the women are opposed to it."
The Commercial Advertiser (Radical) is down
on the Evening Post (Radical) for vffiifying
General Grant, comparing him to a scheming
horse-jockey, and charging that he is heavily
interested in the “San Domingo job. w The
brethren shonld restrain themselves.
Macos Journal.—Yesterday’s edition of the
above paper announced a change in its pro
prietorship. Messrs Harrison and Ricks have
sold their interest to H. J. Neville, their late
partner, who proposes to continue its publica
tion as sole owner.
There is shortly to arrive in Paris a dwarf
aged abont forty-five years, having a beard
reaching to his feet, but with only one arm, and
a completely bald head. He possesses 2,000,000
franos, which he is willing to share] with any
yonng girl abont twenty years old who is pretty
and good tempered.
“To the parent whose son dies in infancy,”
says the Louisville Journal, “there mnst be
something peculiarly soothing in the thought
that, no matter what may be the fate of the
aViiM in the next world, he can never beoome a
member of a base ball olnb in this. ”
Another Fenian Expedition.
The Fenians are up again—strong all along
the Canada frontier. Three thousand more are
moving from .war like Boston—all to liberate.
Ireland by storming Canada, with which they
have no quarrel. That is hard on Canada. She
is suffering vicariously for tho offenoes of the
mother country. The Canucks must lay down
their scythes end pitchforks right in the middle
of hayioc time, and take up their muskets to
defend themselves and fight against the “libera
tion of Ireland” four thousand miles away from
the casus belli. The Canadians must be equally
puzzled and vexed at the anomalies of the situ
ation, and if the Finegans understand them,
they are far in advance of all outsiders. We
shall take it as a great kindness in the Fenian
leaders, after this expedition is over, if they wil
explain the political and military strategy which
aims to liberate Ireland by invading Canada.
We would like to comprehend the merits of it.
But regarding it with the eye of an outsider,
we can only hope that it will stop short of the
preposterous folly of an actual invasion and
battle—that none of the poor Canadians may
be killed in a quarrel which is no fault of theirs
—that the Fenians may live to fight where there
is at least one chance in a million of success,
and that none of them may be caught to be
struog up by the British, or if any are captured,
it will be the hair-brained, reckless leaders, who
seduce well- meaning men into; such ridiculous
and criminal expeditions. We may well sup
pose that John Bull will' be perfectly furious
over this third Fenian invasion of Canada.
Jnst So.
We emphatically agree with the Conner
Journal that therejis entirely too much “nigger
in the pit,” at present, to be either healthy or
agreeable for tho conntry. Extreme Radicals
want to give Sambo considerably more than a
“white man’s chance,” and a very few extreme
Democrats don’t want to give him the chance
of a dog. Both are wrong, yet both are per
sistent in attempting to keep the question in
the foreground. The people, meanwhile, are
sick of it. Common sense says let it rest until
we see what becomes of it. Agitation does not
improve either the temper of the discussion or
the condition of the negro. The passions of
the one party are arrayed against him by the
extreme demands made by the other party in
his behalf. He is well enough as he is. His
civil and political rights—sufficient to protect
him—are at length assured. That is enough.
Now, let him go to work in peace and root for
himself, jnst as his neighbors have to do. He
will get on comfortably, we dare say. Bat if
this agitation business goes on he never will be
worth anything to himself or anybody else, and
• curse to the country.

Senatorial Consistency.
The Senate Judiciary Committee, in their re
port upon the corruption and bribery in the
Georgia case, says:
“As there is no law for punishing such at
tempts, they must be left, and perhaps it is best
they should be left, to the judgment of an en
lightened and jnst public sentiment, which will
not fail to visit with its condemnation any at
tempt, by the nse of improper means, to influ
ence the votes of a legislative body.”
But tho body which thinks it best to leave
attempts to corrupt the vote of Congress to “the
judgment of an enlightened public opinion,”
has recently passed the bill to enforce the 15th
amendment—a bill which we may say puts the
property and liberty of every white man at the
mercy of any negro who sees fit to complain of
an attempt at bribery or intimidation. Any ne
gro tenant or laborer, who has been ejected or
dismissed, no matter for what malconduct—or,
in fact, any negro whatever who has conceived
malice against any white man, can make com
plaint and he can bring any amount of testimo
ny to substantiate it, no matter what are the
facts of the case; -and lodge his enemy in jail
for years, and there is no help for him, if this
law can be enforced, as passed by the Senate.
It is a case in which it is impossible to prove a
negative.
And this is the way the Senate illustrates its
consistency; and we might add its folly and
childishness. For how any man with common
sense could bring himself to vote for such a law
is inconceivable. It is so supremely ridiculous,
barbarous and impracticable that if the House
pass it, it must evidently Become a in time
mere dead letter. V
jj-; T The New York Election.
The New York Democrats seem to have reg
ularly waliopped the Radio*la all over the State.
They olaim a decided majority outside the City.
Tb» negro recruits to the Radical phalanx ap
pear not to have made themselves felt at all. It
is beginning to be suspected—with intense dis
gust—by a good many red-mouthed howlers for
“ekii” rights, who had spasms of joy over the
success of the Fifteenth Amendment, that the
negro was a weight instead of a help in the race.
They saw white men, who had heretofore fol
lowed their lead like sheep, rejecting the black
dose and joining the Democrats. We would
not be at all astonished to see these disgusted
Rads, going for Onffee some day soon, with a
Tim bora of the keenest C’.ame and disappoint
ment We trust, though, this stick will not
break for a long time yet We want the North-
em Democracy to use it many years more to
punch and pommel the adversary’s bead.
Some of the changes in the rural district of
New York as shown in this election, are aston
ishingly gratifying. In Orleans county, for ex
ample, which gare Siegel, Radical, 943 majority
last year, Chinch, Democrat, this year has 786
majority. In Jefferson county where the Dem-'
crats for seventeen years have been regularly
beaten by from 1000 to 1500 majority, the Rad
icals were badly defeated this year. In other
parts of the State changes no less marked have
occurred. Everywhere in the Statethe Demo
crats have gained. * , >^j
We think all this is a.pretty good answer to
negro suffrage fastened upon freemen by a mis
erable swindle. If Mr. Grant is not too busy
counting his presents, and devising a summer
campaign of dead head cigars, juleps, horses and
other pleasant trifles, perhaps even he might
see in it a significance that it would pay him to
study closely. New York has stamped on the
fraud called the Fifteenth Amendment. Hpw
do its concoctors like the weight of her foot.?
Just as We Said.
: ; _ :
We knew it. The City Council of Atlanta, in
refunding that $4 and some odd cents, city tax,
to B. B. Bullock, were actuated by the com-,
mendable motives of pity for the distressed,
and a desire to'give' an unfortunate man every
chance to make another start. We honor them
for it. It is not often in this hard, selfish
world, that the representatives of that soulless
thing, a corporation, put themselves on record
as so overflowing with the milk of human kind
ness. .
Lest anybody should, feel disposed to sneer or
cavil at their kindly generosity, we submit its
full justification, as found in this extract from
R. B.’s last letter to Congress. He says:
Whatever else may happen to me, I shall
leave the office of Governor of Georgia with

A Bibb County correspondent sends us the
following: * :
“I drop you the following recipe for the Texas
Fever. I started for Texas with about twenty

bound for Jefferson Comity, which we reached
on the 22d of the same month. Onr first
stopping place was at the camps of the Yankee
soldiers, and these looked like old war times
revived. Our next was upon aa poor a tract of
land as you ever saw. Then we pulled. np
stakes and moved on to Davis County, seven
teen miles from . Jefferson, where we were to
find a land flowing with milk and honey and
every thing cheap. Cheap it was—corn $2.75

Enforcing the Fiiteentb. Amendment
OF the last outrage perpetrated by the Radi

Special of Mot 2Jot, to the Herald, Bays:, ( , .
The bill which passed tho Senate early this
morning, after an all night session, for the en
forcement of the provisions of the Fifteenth
Amendment, is said to be very acceptable to the
extreme Radicals. -It differs materially from
the 'measure which was originally reported from

the Radicals say they can carry every. State at
tho Fall elections, including New York. The
Conservatives certainly made nothing by re

the bill became stronger and mare radical in its
provisions.” The Jndiciary Committee was, of;
oonrse, utterly routed, all their propositions be

more harm than good. Men like Sumner, How

lowing crop items :
Crops in Monboe : In some portions of the
oounty corn and cottoh are dying out from the
effeot of the hot, dry weather, i. Other districts
have had -rains within three weeks and orops
are not suffering to any great extent. Oats are
said to be materially damaged. .
Wheat is being injured by the drouth, but we
learn that rice-bird3 are provim? ft greater
source of annoyance to farmers in some sections
of the county than the weather. They are at
tacking wheat fields in large numbers and play-
iDg havoc with the crop.
Cbops in Upson.—The condition of crops in
Upson county is said to be very unfavorable.—
The drouth there, as elsewhere in Middle Geor
gia, is proving very damaging and farmers are
gloomy enough, ■ Oom has a sickly appearance,
and is mnch stunted in growth. Cotton is up,
but the want of rain has kept it from growing.
Wheat is seriously injured, and oats are said to
be a complete failure.
Butts.—The latest information from Butts is
to the effect that previous to the drouth, crop
prospects were very flattering. The dry weath
er and cool nights, .however, have materially
changed the aspect of affairs, and only an early
rain and propitious seasons thereafter can in
sure anything like average orops.
The fruit crop Is more promising than was
anticipated. Tho yield will probably be about
one-third of a crop.

We get the following local items from the
Press and Messenger.
Accidentally Shot.—A lad by the name of
Wm: E. Dennis, living near Oapt. John A.
Bout's, in this eounty, was accidentally shot and
severely wounded in tho shoulder, on Saturday,
the 18 th inst. He, with other boys, went fish
ing, and took their-gu* along, which was by
some means accidentally discharged, putting
the whole load of shot in his shonlder. Medical
aid was immediately called in, and the shot,
some ninety in number, extracted. The little
fellow is suffering considerably, bnt it is
thought, will soon recover.
Negbo Shot.t—On Sanday last a negro man
was shot and killed on the plantation of Mr.
Gatewood, in this county. We have not learned
the full particulars. There are two versions to
the story about the affair. One is, that two
brothers fell out about some clothing, when one
of them drew a pistol and shot the other; the
other version is that the killing was accidental.
Cotton.—We arc informed that cotton is dy
ing out rapidly in some sections of the county,
especially on the red lands, for the want of rain.
We hope the crop will not be seriously injured
from this cause. -01
We understand the Sabbath Schools of
Eatonton have - decided on having a Pic-Nic on
Friday evening, the 3d of June.
Sickly.—We have had considerable sickness
in this vicinity recently; principally diseases
incident to this season of the year—nothing
very serious.
Fxbe.—We learn from onr yonng, friond,
Robert Rosser, that he had a considerable striDg
of fence and an out house burned a few days
ago, at his father’s place, in this conntty. The
fire was accidental.
The Federal Union of Tuesday says: “no
rain yet—crops beginning to suffer, and gar
dens nearly ruined.”
Air. Nathan Hawkins, an old citizen of Baid-
win county, died Sanday morning, aged sixty
years. He had been Mayor of Milledgeville,
and member of the Legislature from that
county. 1
The Colnmbns Enquirer . learns that three
storos, one a drag store, were burned Sunday-
night, at West Point.
A good shower fell ten or twelve miles east
of Columbus, Sanday afternoon.
We quote as follows from the Enquirer:
A negro man named Louis Pride shot Henry.

Louis was placed in the lock up, anckwill prob

A negro man shot another at Woolfolk’s Bend
Sunday, with what effect we could not learn.—
From what we hear it was an attempt to settle

pose the juries’verdict was in accordance with
the above facts. The baby is said to have been
nearly white. ■ .
A horse belonging to .Dr, Word ran away with

From Monroe County—Clover.
Oolapabcheb, Ga., May 22, 1870.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Your
allmion to last Friday’s issue to clover on tho
“clay lands of Monroe" suggests this article.
There can exist scarce a doubt that the
tion of your proposition is true. Allow me to
give you some little personal experience and
observation, which, as far aa they go, tend to
warrant the conclusion of the adaptability of Mon
roe lands (whether red or gray, for they all have
clay subsoil,) to the growth of red clover. I
have a few acres of this clover, and blue and
orchard grasses, seeded down with oats March
3d. The clover is now two and three inches
high, and pronounced by a Tennesseean whe
saw it, to be as fine as he has ever seen grow
in Tennessee for this length of time. The
grasses do net seem to be growing off so rapid
ly. I shall not ent the oats, nor pasture this
field at all this year. I have seen red clover
this year twelve inches high, and of luxuriant
growth—right in the midBt of broomsedge on
poor gray land I I'm aware of the probability
that many will be found skeptical enough to
shake their heads at the assertion that clo
ver will succeed ini this climate. But the day
is not far distant when (D. 'Y.) luxuriant
clover fields shall be seen in Monroe county.
However, as ‘‘hallooing before one gets out of
the woods” sometimes brings mortification and
Chagrin, I shall drop the clover sensation, with
the assurance, if it does succeed well, that there
will be joy around one fireside, as the demon
stration will presage the dawning of a new era in
Monroe county agriculture. We are not obnox
ious to the charge of all newspaperdom of
planting “all cotton—no com.” This county,
I venture the assertion, has planted one-half in
com and 200 per cent more oats than has.been
sown in either of the last six years. We must
plant cotton—it is our pet crop, and will ever
continne to be the leading crop of this section;
otherwise, we out loose from our- moorings of
commercial importance.: Yet a change must
“come o’er the spirit of our dreams.” We must
have other and cheaper food crops than com,
and a plenty of them, which can recuperate
worn-out 1 soils, give us meat for the - laborer,
and sustain the animal that speeds the cotton
'•'* v.•• r-i' ■■■*-.- -ttiO fina-WF-ilrld* £
With barley sown September 1st, and rye or
other grain sown October 1st, and then our
clover fields,-a succession of green pasturage
may be had for the six or eight most trying
months of the year. Alas, though, for a ma
jority of planters, your newspaper rhetoric and
preaohing will avail nought. They will neve*
awake till the iron fingers of poverty and want
shall clutch their ichabod throats! Talk to
farmers about “concert of .action”iii regard to
labor questions—labor-saving systems and im
provements 1 As well talk to Balaam’s ass 1
But this strikes a key ever attuned to jeremi
ads. 80 more anon. • . 5Ki ‘ ‘

Tire Field of Manassas.
A correspondent of the Charleston News, af
ter sketching the appearance of this great little
field during the war, has the following upon its
present condition:
From this terrible waste and rain let us turn
to a fairer sight—the Manassas of to-day. It is
ft pretty village of over a hundred houses,
grouped about the depot, with broad streets in
good Condition, lined with residences, stores,
smithies, and. all the offices of a considerable
population. Many of these bouses are neat and
tasty, some are even elegant, and the hotel is
a pleasant spacious one indeed—while queenly
religion has. built her temple on a grassy lawn
at the end of a fine street. The inhabitants are
mostly from the North, a sturdy, hard-working
yeomanry, bringing down those habits of in
dustry and sobriety which have made a garden-
land of even oold and rocky New England. Their

The LaGranqe Railroad Meeting : It was
held Saturday in L&Grange, and was large and
enthusiastic. Judge Bingham was President
and CoL Huntly, Secretary. The Columbus
delegates were Mr. H. S. Estes and Alderman
Ghipley. There was a delegation from Harris
eounty, headed by CoL Mobley. The direct
road between Rome and Colnmbns will pass
within three miles of Hamilton. An old char
ter was found, not expired by reason of time,
which gives to the proposed road all the privi
leges, except banking, enjoyed by the Central
railroad. A committee of seven from each of
the counties of Troup, Harris ana Muscogee,
were appointed to meet the corporators in Go-
lumbns, next Thursday, to decide upon imme
diate organization. The Mnsoogee committee
is composed of Gen. Benniag, W. L. Salisbury,
H. H. Epping, W. D. Chipley, A. H. Chappell,
J. Rhodes Browne and H. S. Estes. Full par

The Drouth Continues.—We have enjoyed
the sixth week of drouth unprecedented for
its heat at this season of the year. A few
drops of rain one day last week, caused onr
local to go off into a spasm abont a “glorious
shower.” Crops, gardens,' men and beast are
suffering.
A new Masonic Lodge and Town Hall is to be

An accident occurred on the South Carolina
Railroad last Saturday night or Sanday morning
which resulted in the smashing up of four
freight cars loaded with molasses. It appears
that the cars were attached to the fast express
freight train whioh left Charleston at six o’clock
Saturday'afternoon. At a point on the railroad,
distant fifty-three miles from that city, the
train ran off the track and four of the cars, with
their contents, wrecked.

We have received information from a reliable
source that a number of supernumerary em

the investigation, so that Harris may swear that
such men are not at present employed on the

white-washing is completed. One .of these
