Errors Corrected! . ■Wherever subscribers have receipts in conflict with onr office accounts, we are always ready to make prompt and liberal corrections. Such errors will sometimes occur in accounting through our numerous agents, and we shall take great pleas ure in making prompt and ample redress. We are under many obligations to our subscribers for the great promptitude they have displayed in adjusting their accounts, and tho cheerful alacrity with which nine-tenths of them havo seconded onr plans to get on a cash basis. We are satisfied the plan will please them as well as ns; and that we shall move on better hereafter with no old past dues to settle. Macon Canal and Water Works. Pnblic Meeting. In accordance with the action of the City Council, (see advertisement) the Mayor has call- a public meeting of citizens at tho City Hall, THIS AFTERNOON, at 5 o’clock, to confer with a committee of tho Council upon the mat ter of an organization to carry out the plan of a canal and water works, which has already been the subject of much discussion, and a pre liminary survey. Ono object of this meeting is to test the extent and degree of interest felt by tho people in this enterprise. The plan em braces not only tho supply of water for all do mestic purposes, and for fountains, and fire plugs, but the creation at the same time, of a vast water-power, which of itself, judicious ly managed, should be worth the expense of the enterprise. If this undertaking be within the financial capacity of the people, or if by put ting it in shape and contributing to its accom plishment, the city can enlist foreign capital the work, we need not dwell on the vast benefits in the way of comfort, health, security from fire, diminished insurance and the development of manufacturing enterprise which would accrue to the community. Let the people turn out and ascertain the views and plans of the City Coun- dL _ From Macon County. A letter of the 7th, from Montezuma, says There is great improvement in the crop pros pects within the last ten days. We have had refreshing showers of rain, which were greatly needed, not only for tho growth of com and cotton and other vegetation, but to germinate the seed of the late planting of cotton, which had not come up till since the rains. The stand is now full in the late planting and tho gaps filled up in much of the early cotton. Com, though small for the season, is looking very healthy, generally well worked and prom ises a good yield with a continuance of favor able seasons. The oat crop is almost a complete failure; the rains came too late to benefit them. Yours Respectfully, P. TniBEELAKE, Mr. J. Egbert Thompson. Some one in St. Paul, Minnesota, sends ns copy of the Pioneer, of that city, of date, May 29, containing an account of the sudden death, near that place, the day before, while on a fish ing excursion, of this gentleman, formerly a well known citizen and merchant of Perry, Houston county. • His death was caused by in ternal hemorrhage, the result of rupture of one of the blood vessels of the abdomen. Mr. Thompson was bom in Poultney, Ver mont, but when quite young moved to Perry, where he did business, and afterwards joined his brother at Americus. In 1859 he moved to St Paul, and became a banker, where he has continued to reside ever since. At tho time of his death Mr. Thompson was President of the First National Hank of St. Paul, Treasurer of the St. Paul and Chicago Railroad Co., a direc tor in the St. Paul and Sioux City Railroad Co. and also a director in tho Minnessota Mutual Life Insurance Company. The Pioneer, from which we got these facts, speaks in the highest terms of him as a man, a citizen and a Christian. His life was insured for $43,000. •; Macon and Angasta Itailroad. Wo learn a cargo of iron for track-laying on this end of tho Macon and Augusta road reached Brunswick on Saturday last. The bridge over tho Ocmulgee will, wo understand, bs completed on Saturday next, and- track-laying will then bo commenced forthwith from tho city over and be yond the bridge, to meet the track-layers on the Milledgevillo end of the gap. We understand abont a mile and a half of tho track from Mil- lodgevillo westward has already been laid, and it is the intention of the contractors to complete the road by the middle of September next. It is confidently asserted that the cars will be run ning over the whole line of the rqjtd at that time. A Heavy Swell.—The World announces that Jimfisk has been at work by his agents and art ists six months to astonish the New Yorkers with a new six-in-hand turnout, and the grand apothe osis is to take place in a few days. Tho World gives a particular description of tho bit bosses, monograms, martingales, gagdrops, hooks, ten- its, brow bangs, rosettes, buckles, drops, face pieces, pads, homes, and so on, some of which are of solid gold, and some are not. Jimfisk has his precious monogram 140 times upon the harness and over so many times npon his buttons, and upon a rich medallion sus pended from his coat-tail and surrounded by pendant diamonds of a dazzling lustre wlych will eclipse the sun. Jimfisk swears that he and old Sol will have a regular tussle when that turn-out makes its appearance, and is sure the sun will “knock under” about twelve hours ear lier on that day. 9 Bab News from our Hay Crops.—Tho in tel- ligonco from our Southern hay crops in New £ lgland is bad. On account of dry weather the grass is light, and this will compel tho Georgia farmers to pay more for forage, unless they will consent to cure some of our own native grasses, which will probably bo worth to them on the plantation about three cents a pound. As a good hand ought to gather and cure of crab gross at least three hundred pounds a day, reflection will show that it is equal to the services of a field hand in the Legislature, and a little more vigor would make up tho mileage. Then charge into tho crab grass, and wagon no more North ern hay forty miles into the interior from every railway station 1 The Fiegaks.—Father Devoreaux. a Catholic Priest, who has lived among the Blaekfeet tribes for nine years past, and has now been chosen as their ambassador to the Unitod States Gov ernment, has lately arrived at Fort Shaw, the point from which CoL Baker started upon his expedition. Father Devereaux says that at the Uie time of Baxter’s attack there was bo small pox in the Piegan camp, and that that disease did not appear among this band of Indians un til several days afterward. Out of 132 warriors * who were present when Baker struck tho band 96 were killed and 36 escaped. Of women 36 were killed, and of children CJ. The whole number of persons in the camp who escaped was 294. a Awful.—The New York San says if General Lee were President, instead of .General Grant, the “policy of the Government could not bo tnoro averse to human freedom than it now is.’’ The Sun evidently intends to be severe on Qnct and thought he had capped the climax. “ Going u Fishing !** The last news from the Republican Court at "Washington sets forth that it was “going a fish ing,” with the amiable intent more to please Mrs. Grant and the babies than, itself. We wish the party all luck—not “fisherman’s luck”— which is said to be failure more or less com plete—but good sport—fine weather—healthful breezes—sharp appetites and buoyant spirits. “Going a Pishing” is tho New Englander’s last resort for employment. He takes to it when there’s nothing else to do—either because the work is all done up or it is not very clear how it can be done to best advantage. It is a sort of waiting on providence—a literal “taking to water” symbolical of a condition of intellectual suspension and doubt, which finds its expression in the adage, “when yon don’t know what to do, do nothing.” And Gen. Grant is going a fishipg with tho New Englanders—with Bowen, of tho Independent, as ancient Palinurus. We havo no doubt the Court at Washington 'goes a fishing,” both in this literal and sym bolical sense; and in the latter particular we may as well remark that the entire Radical par ty has “gone a fishing.” If they know at this time what to do of how to do it, wo are much mistaken. Truth to tell, every scheme of Radi calism, with all its illimitable power of money, patronage and, greater than all, its power lawlessness and utter irresponsibility to every thing beyond its own supreme will, pleasure and interest, has failed to develop a single promis ing result. If we look at its grand central project upon which all others hinge—that of “eternizing” the monopoly of power by the debasement the suffrage, we know of nothing which wears more unpromising augury in every particular, It can now be clearly seen by whoever will look that this scheme of “watering the stock” of the government will really work nothing but scan dal and reproach. The Radicals have worked hard and ventured much to put this contrivance in operation—but one project only creates apparent necessity for another, and yet we doubt not every man among them who sees an inch beyond his nose, sees now—just as clearly as he will see one year or ten years hence—that his watered and debased suffrage is a curse and weakness to his party instead of strength, may vote with or against, him os mere caprice or management shall dictate. It confounds and confuses all sensible and coherent counsels by its ridiculous escapades and absurd pretensions, while it will intermix and incorporate no more intimately than oil and water, in the general party elements and policy. Its repellant and incoherent force will ever be steady and great while its contributive power will be small and uncertain. There is just enough of it to be strong in shapingRtfdical policy into injudicious attitudes, already exemplified, which will be sharp swords in the hands of their enemies; and on the other hand the best informed public men believe it will never be able to contribute as many votes as it repels. On the whole, the ne gro vote will prove the worst property ever owned, by any party which shall be able to monopolize it. Tho democratic party we are confident will never disgrace itself by pandering to this vote, It will offer to the negro, in harmony with its own principles, equal laws and equal protection but it will never be caught trailing its flag af ter negro candidates for office. The Herald and some of the Northern radical papers seem to be exceedingly anxious that the Southern Democra cy should spread lures and honey pots for tho negro votes, but the story of the Fox who lost his tail in a trap need not bo repeated to under- stand tho moral of their efforts. The Southern Democracy will consolidate their efforts in be half of good, intelligent, honest and impartial government and of public order and tranquili ty, but they will never play bob to this radical kite. fhe Georgia Press.

About 500 negroes gathered about them with threats and menacing. The police came to their rescue, and took them to the station-house to keep them from being disturbed.—Richmond Dispath, 4ih. There’s a freedom for yon. The kind of free dom the infamous bill, a synopsis of which we print outside this morning, was designed to guarantee to all such black scoundrels os those at Richmond—the freedom to maim, and mob, and murder if so inclined, those of their own race who da»o to vote against the Radicals: while, at the same time, it visits the heaviest penalties against all white men who even ask a negro to vote a Democratic ticket. In our judgment this is just what this out rageous law was licked into shape to do. It was meant to protect negroes in all sorts of out rages against their color, especially, for voting a free ballot, and to fine and duogeon all white men who might endeavor to induce a negro fo vote with them. No more outrageously open and undisguised partisan measure was ever devised even by the brazen conspirators who rule at Washington. We suppose all the ne groes will bo instructed in its provisions before the next elections, and if a white man asks their vote they will be pledged to swear violence and intimidation against him the United States Courts. That is doubtless the programme to scare and paralyze the Georgia Democrats and theirbreth- ren elsewhere. Perhaps it will work, and per haps it won’t. We shall see by waiting. Woure safe in declaring in advance, however, that it may, by judicious management, bo made to cut two ways. Some negroes are sure to vote the Democratic ticket, and these will be set npon at the polls by hundreds of brutes of their, own color. We are rather of the opinion that these latter can be hanled up before the courts just as easily as white men. What trill happen to them then, is another matter. We hope equal ity will be the rule there, though wo know it was not so intended by the men who made the law. And another thing, too; if negroes repeat, or vote on other negroes’ names as they have done heretofore, most notoriously, this trap set to catch white men may be sprung on them. We advise our readers to study the bill and see wherein its provisions can be made to serve useful purposes. Its abominable meanness and tyranny may be circumvented, or at least ren dered stingless. A trap set to catch white men who cannot be bnUied or bribed into supporting Radicalism, it perchance may yet prove a mur derous spring-gun for that thing’s black allies at the South. If it shopts that way, we wont bo troubled with it long. Tbe East Cotton Crop.

There is certainly this about it: Every citi zen of Macon owning a dollar’s worth of real eBtate ; every citizen who pays a dollar of in surance, every citizen who has the welfare aid interest of tee city at heart, owes it to himse!/, his children and his country to take just as mack stock in the great enterprise as he possibly can. The insurance rates in Macon are double those of New Yoik, Baltimore, or any other city with well established water works to supply teem, in case of fire, and if tee Macon water works should never pay one dollar of dividends, they will, in ten years pay for themselves in a redac tion of the rate3 of insurance. But as to their not paying a dividend, it is simply absurd to suppose such a thing. Tho stock will pay *s large, if not larger dividends than that of the city gas company stock, and it is now worth about $140 per share. Then, take hold of this enterprise, gentlemen, as becomes spirited, en terprising and liberal citizens, and put it right through.
