Telegraph and Messenger.
to co “-
It seemB by the telegrams yesterday that the
Reconstruction Committee mast have had new
ST They struck out the clause in their pro-
TeDort, which requires the elections to be
S to accordance with the Constitution of the
State and agreed to report a bill containing
nothing at all on the subject; and the telegram
cars this bill will be up in the House to-day.
Such action as this, will not, (it u true,)
leave the law at all doubtful. The admission of
the State under the Constitution thereof, will
remit us legally to the provisions of that Consti
tution, which require the elections to take
place next fall. But probably the Reconstrac-
tion Committee are advised that the failure of
Congress to make specific requirement of an
election, will, in point of fact, be made occasion
by the desperate little radical faction in the
State, to extend their terms of office by mere
legislative usurpation; and the committee pre
fer that this piece of lawlessness shall be done
by the Georgia radicals without the warrant of
an act of Congress, and apparently on their own
responsibility.
■With this dear foreknowledge of the practi
cal effect of their action, should Congress pur
sue the cowardly policy indicated by the Re
construction Committee, the outside world wiU
comprehend precisely why it is done. Ashamed
or afraid to take the responsibility of perpetu
ating the power of this bogus Legislature, in
defiance of tho terms of the Constitution win
they themselves have approved, Congress (if it
Sustains the report) assumes tho attitude of a
pregnant and suggestive silence which itsoR,
under tho circumstances, invites the act of
usurpation and fraud on the part of their crea
tures in Georgia. m

The Wood-IIowaril Investigation.
Tho Committee appointed by the House of
Representatives to investigate the charges of
corruption against that “loyal” saint, Bureau
Howard, by Hon. Fernando Wood, of New York,
has not yet made a report. There is evidence
already on record, it is said, that proves that
Howard paidoutof theBnreaufnnds some $240,-
000 to the American Missionary Society; and
about $140,000 in rations were sent to Florida,
the rations sold and tho proceeds pooketed by
the agents of the bureau. The JJnited States
Marshal for South Carolina and one of the
United States Senators from that State, were
brought in to prove that about $400,000 of tho
educational fund of the bureau was used for the
purchase of rations, the majority of which were
sold to the negroes of South Carolina, on time,
for the purpose of securing the election of
Scott, the surreptitious Governor of that State.
We suppose Howard will be whitewashed after
the Radical fashion, bat the country will class him
with the Whittemores and other preaching and
praying hypocrites who have filled their pockets
while pretending to serve the Lord and chris
tianize the Southern blacks. This class of men
always existed and always will exist, we suppose,
but they have never flourished in such loath
some luxuriance anywhere, or at any period as
in the Northern States, and for the past ten
years. New England is their chosen abode, too,
which is rather remarkable, considering the
general immacnlateness of everything and
everybody in that saintly section.
Tlic Latest Novelty in Cotton Plant
ing.
Tho Memphis Avalanche says an old theory
regarding cotton planting has recently been
suddenly exploded. The opinion has almost
universally existed that the cotton plant cannot
be transplanted. A machine remarkable for
its ingenuity has been invented and patented by
Messrs. Roberts & Graham which most effect,
ually demonstrates that cotton can be trans
planted. It has been severely tested in Coaho
ma county, Miss., by Messrs. Nelson, Harris,
Robert Bobo, B. Lenel and Dr. Robson.—
Plants were transplanted in dry, sandy soil un
der a burning sun, and they did not even stop
growing. A trial as successful was also made
in Tallahatchie county, and A. W. Alcorn,
Sheriff of the county, allows himself to be re
ferred to for the establishment of almost any
extravagant assertions which may be made con
cerning this valuable invention. The machine

their constitutions at it. If they can do any
thing worse after midnight than they do before,
a new vocabulary of sin and miscellaneous dev-
iltryisin order. What is worse than selling
votes and offices, and plundering the peoples
pockets, we should like to know.
This shows the difference, however, between
the crowd who now rule at Washington and
those who ruled there ten years ago. The lat
ter never pulled a long face all day and sinned
oil night. They might havebeen riotous livers,
but the'' didn’t try to fool anybody about it.—
When they wanted to go anywhere they went in
day light, and marched in at the front door.
Your regular “moral ideas” chap waits for dark
ness and sneaks in at the backdoor. We like
the former fashion best.
Tire Western Grain Crop.
The continued dry weather, at the West, is
causing much apprehension as to the future of
the grain crops of that section. Tho Chicago
Tribune says:
“The long-continued dry weather is causing
wido-spread fears in regard to the yield of the
orops in 1870, not only in the United States,
but also in the Canadas and all over Europe.—
Operators in grain are taking tho alarm, and
hastening to provide against tho anticipated
scarcity by laying in supplies. The English
dealers are buying np grain liberally in this
country, and exportations of wheat are now be
ing made from Liverpool to countries in con
tinental Europe, which have heretofore aided
in tho supply of breactituffs to tho British Isles.
As a consequence, the price of wheat is rapidly
advanoing in all tho world’s markets, and other
cereals are held at higher figures, in sympathy.
Wheat was ten cents per bushel higher on Tues
day in Chicago than on Tuesday of last week;
com was seven cents, and oats four cents higher
than a week ago. We note also that the farm
ers show less anxiety to forward their stock on
even at tho present enhanced prices, and
our daily receipts show a marked falling off.”
This is decidedly bad news for our Georgia
friends, whose cribs and hay ricks are located
ih that section.
Fibst Importation of Tin.—What was de
scribed to us as the first importation of Tin
Plate which ever reached Macon direct from the
British manufactories, was received here yester
day by Messrs. B. A. Wise &, Co. It represented
all qualities of Tin Plate, and among them Roof
ing Plate in rolls of 200 feet long, in which the
separate plates had been joined at the factory,
before the process of Tinning, so that the de
posit of tin covers all the joints, and they are
not so much exposed to corrosion and injury
as if the plates had been soldered, in the ordi
nary way, after the process of tinning each sep
arate sheet of metal had been perfected. Wo
presume Messrs. B. A. Wise & Co. feel them
selves ready now to undersell any New York Im
porters, adding freight and charges to Macon,
and they ought to do it, seeing that they can
buy of the manufacturers at as low prices as any
body—get very low freights from Liverpool di
rect to Savannah by sailing vessel, and save one
series of port charges by shipping direct instead
of by tho way of Now York. Them is no reason
why all our staple goods of foreign manufacture
should not follow suit. Besides tin plate, Mr.
Wise imports heavily from Great Britain and
Franco, common earthen and fine Porcelain and
Glass Wares, ornamental goods of various des
criptions, Cutlery of all sorts, and some planta
tion utensils, which can bo bought to advantage
across the seas.
A Righteous Sentence.
The Herald says:
Fivo avaricious milkmen were brought np be
fore Judge Dowling charged with overcharging
tho lacteal fluid with thatbevergao which cheers
but does not inebriate supplied by the Croton
Board. Tho Judge administered a very severe re
buke to the delinquents,butho did better than that

fined them fifty dollars each, and tho other three

same fine.
Here's ^yottr health, Judge. You never passed
a more 'righteous sentence. This thing of
palming off on a man who thinks he has bought
milk, a compound of chalk and water, and milk
—last and- least—that neither looks nor tastes
like tho genuine article, is mean. It is almost
as mean as passing a ragged shinplastfir off on a
blind woman with nine small children and on
at the breast.

Stanton Snitches Selma olT.
It is generally supposed that the Selma & Me
ridian Railroad is a unit from Selma to Merid
ian. This is not correct. At York, on the Ala
bama line, about twenty miles this side of Me
ridian, the Sehfia & Meridian road ceases.
The twenty miles beyond is a link of Stan
ton’s Alabama & Chattanooga railroad. The
Selma & Meridian railroad is running
on its old schedule, and tho connection be
tween the two roads has been broken by Stan
ton. It has not only been broken, bnt the De-
mopolis Exponent is reliably informed that
Stanton, through his agent, has peremptorily
refused to connect with tho Selma road under
any circumstances. Stanton says if the Selma
road changes its present schedule so as to meet
his trains at New York, that ho will make im
mediately another change to defeat this object.
Thus it will be seen, the great New England
Developer of Industrial Resources has switched
Selma out into the cold, and left her vegetating
on the bank of the river, amusing herself shoo
ing mosquitos and gazing melancbolically upon
the rising walls of that hotel. Montgomery
sympathizes somewhat with Selma, for the
break in the gap at York will send up to Grand
Junction a good deal of Western travel which
should come this way. However, the New Or
leans travel will be compelled to como by Mo
bile, and the Central Mississippi travel will
shoot up to Elyton, on Stanton’s road, and then
come down to Montgomery on the Sonth and
North. In either event, Selma becomes the
centre of a railroad system, Selma being the
hub, and the tiro of the wheel being her rail
road system.
Stanton says tho reason he has switched off
Selma is because John Hardy, Bosteed’s Presi
dent of the S. and M. Road, is so notoriously
unscrupulous he is afraid that if a connection at
York is permitted, Hardy will steal all his trains
and Busteed will decree that tho theft is per
fectly legitimate in admiralty. • What makes
the matter more complicated and heart-rending
is that Hardy says tho same thing about Stan
ton.
The only way wo see for the good people of
Selma to get that hotel completed and to get a
close connection at York is to open tho eyes of
the negroes to tho enormities perpetrated by
the Alex. White and Hardy cliquo of barnacles,
to put in a decent City Council, to throw Hardy
out of the Receivership, to unite with Montgom-
era in helping Mr. Wadley of the Georgia Cen
tral to buy up Stanton’s little section or to.tun-
nel under it, and thus to get Selma once more
on tho highway of progress and civilization.
Alex. White’s talk about progress and material
resources is all bosh. It has resulted just as wo
expected it would result, in putting a man whom
Gen. Swayne stigmatized, as tho most rapacious
robber ho ever met with, into the Presidency of
a leading road and in filling the pockets of
Stanton with so much money that ho switches a
leading commercial emporium out of tho way as
though it were a mere wood-pilo. Thus much'
has White's new Radicalism already done for
Selma. How much more will it do?
Wadley is the man to nntie that knot. Hehas
already marched from Savannah to Selma. He
is now coeking rations for tho march to Vicks
burg. Stanton must get out of tho way or bo
run over.—Montgomery Mail.
Fine Oats.—Mr. McArthur, living near the
Echeeconnee, in Bibb county, brings us a very
handsome sample of three varieties of oats,
raised from common seed, bought in Macon,
and sown on old thin land without manure, to
show how needless it is to import oats to Geor
gia. Tho highest stalks are five feet, the growth
being generally small this year on account of
the drouth. The stalks, however, are stout and
the heads so full that a fair stand should yield
about forty bushels to the acre. We do not
think there is any better region of country for
small grain than Middle Georgia. We were
talking a day or two since with a man from
tho prairie regions of Illinois, where com will
produce eighty bushels to tho aero on tho natu
ral soil, with good cultivation; and ho put down
tho average yield of wheat at fifteen bushels.
Tho land was too strong for wheat. Tho Ohio
average is less than eleven bushels to tho acre.
Now York less than seven. Georgia, with equal
culture, would beat either State in producing
small grain. Wo question whether rye is not
tho best stock crop we can raise.
Eating and Drinking on the Road.—Some
body sends us a bill of fare on “Pullman’s Palace
Dining Car,” on the Western and Atlantic Rail
way. Breakfast seven to nine 1 —dinner four to
six. On examination wo seo that although a
man might get smashed on tho State Road, by

duck, English crabs in salad, oyster in Ml forms,
and tho entire round of vegetables, relishes,
wines, liquors, ales and compounded potations
so that what with Pullman’s Sleeping and eating
cars one may yet have to take to the road for
“homo comforts” unless the sovereign people
,of Georgia awake to the sublime conception
thatnjpn cannot live on cotton alono.

We find the following items in the Savannah
News:
The Storm Yesterday.—Our city was yester
day noon visited by a wind storm which threaten
ed considerable damage. The wind prevailing
from the northwest, brought a black clond,
which burst upon the city at twelve o’clock, for
tunately at a time when the streets were com
paratively deserted. It spent its force on Bay
street, and bronghtfrom the top of the Exchange
building a barrel, which came near demolishing
a gentleman passenger on the street car. For
tunately the scaffolding had been taken down
the day before, or we might- have been called
to note accidents which we are not called upon
to record.
In the region of the city known as the suburb
gardens, its effects were seriously felt,the young
com being thrown down, to its roots and injured
very much. Young plants also suffered exten
sively.
The storm prevailed from the Northwest, bnt
evidently the full force was not felt in Savannah.
We look for reports of hail (dong the Southern
coast, which may prove very disastrous to grow
ing crops.
Ode Market.—The market Saturday morning
and afternoon was well supplied. Vegetables
are more plentiful at reduced prices. Cucum
bers 30 cents per dozen; tomatoes 50 cents per

yellow squashes 20 cents per dozen. Bass and
drum fish are much cheaper and selling at 8
cents per pound. Black fish aro plentiful.
This week Mr. Michael Dempsey will have in
market egg plants and green pepers.
Whortleberries are getting more plentiful and
selling at 25 cents per quart.
Mr. John Herrin, an old and highly esteemed
citizen of Lumpkin, Stewart county, died on
Thursday.
The junior editor of the Lumpkin Telegraph

He says:
The junior editor of the Telegraph returns his
most sincere thanks to a kind lady friend of
Lumpkin for the present of a choice and rare
collection of large red cherries, to obtain which
she perilled a blonde complexion to the burning
rays of summer sun. They were delicious. We
know of nothing to which their bright, inviting
look may be compared save the lips of the fair
giver—their taste was incomparable.
Hullo! We take it back. We read too hasti
ly. He compares their looks, not their taste,
to the young lady’s lips. Poor fellow!

In a conversation with Col. McAmey, of the

noon, the Colonel stated that he had just re
turned from Gordon county, that he brought no
news, but what is far better, the glad tidings
that an abundance of hay and oats had been
made in that county, and the best wheat crop
that had been made since 1831. He also said
that there was a great demand, and would be
for at least the next six weeks for good laborers,
that they were scarce, and received from two to
two and a half dollars a day.
The Rome Daily reports crop prospects down
the Coosa river, very favorable. Com is par

The Griffin Star says:
The wheat crop is generally harvested in this

and cotton thriving hugely. The general pros
pect never better. Everybody cheerful and
hopeful.
We get the following news items from tho
Monroe Advertiser:
Railroad Meeting in Butts.—Our Butts
county friends appear determined to have
railroad of some sort, and are bending all their
energies in that direction. A citizens’ meeting
was held in Jackson on the 4th instant to take
into consideration the practicability of building
a railroad from Madison to Griffin, by way of
Monticello and Jackson, by concert of action
with the citizens of Morgan, Jasper and Spald
ing counties, and with the Directors of the
Georgia Railroad.
Addresses were delivered by Rev. John Good
man and others, and the meeting throughout
was of the most harmonious character.
A committee, consisting of H. B. Fletchor, J.
W. McOord, J. R. Lyons, H. N. Byars and R.
C. Allen, was appointed to confer with commit
tees from Madison, Monticello and Griffin.
It was unanimously agreed that tho county
of Butts subscribe $200,000 to tho building of
the road.
The Crops.—Tho cool, showery weather of
the past week has materially improved the ap
pearance of the growing crops. Com and cot
ton are now rank, vigorous and hardy, and pre
sent a decided contrast to their condition two
weeks ago. Farmers seem to ho impressed with
the idea that the present will be a good crop
year.
Monroe Superior Court.—This body ad
journed last Friday, after disposing of a con-.
siderable amount of criminal business—few or
no civil cases being brought np. x
The mo3t important case on the docket, and
one which consumed much of the time, was
that of The State vs. Mr. W. H. Perkins, who,
it will bo remembered, killed Mr. J. E. Benton
:in an affray at Crawford’s Station, somo time
ago. Messrs. Hunter and Jamieson, of Macon,
appeared for the prosecution, and Messrs Ham
mond and Trippo for the defence. The indict
ment was for murder, bnt the State abandoned
the charge, and contended for the conviction of
the prisoner for voluntary manslaughter. The'
case was submitted to the jury in that shape
and Mr. Perkins was acquitted.
Crops in Upson.—The crops in Upson aro said
to bo vciy fine. Good rains, extending over the
greater portion of the county, have fallen lately.
■Wheat harvesting is about completed, and the
yield is said to be full.
Wheat.—Tho wheat crop of Monroo is now-

Of the troubles in the State Agricultural So
ciety, the Madison Journal says:
By a card pulished elsewhere in today's pa
per, it will bo seen that GoL O. W. Howard, de
clines to allow his name to bo used again as a
candidate. We look upon the action of the
President as unauthorized, and unbecoming an
executive officer, and his long continuance in
the office he has made use of to give vent to his
personal spleen against two honorable gentle
men, as calculated to damage the Association,
and result in its disruption. We have* no per
sonal feeling whatever against CqL Yanoy, not
being personally acquainted with him, but hav
ing the success of the Society at heart, we join
with the Albany News in celling upon Col. O. B.
Yancey, to resign the Presidency of the State
Agricultural Society.

A correspondent of the Federal Union, writ
ing from this point, has these good words to
say abont Macon:
The future of Macon as a prominent South
ern inland city is a proud one in prospect. On
a solid basis of capital which has been accumu
lating for half a century, its business prosperity
is not of a mushroom character. If less rapid
than that of some of its sister cities, it is more
uniform and certain. Its “bottom” (to use an
expression of the turf) will he found bettei -
than that of some of the quartemags which are
just now attracting the more admiring gaze_ of
the public. Like the tortoise in the iEsopian
fable, it will wiu the race over some of its fleet
er and vainer competitors. Many of its sagac
ious citizens see this; and with a commendable
determination that no laok of energy shall de
tract from its destiny, they are surely and se
curely strengthening and widening the founda
tions of its greatness. Their railway connec
tions already completed aro admirable. The
direct road by way of Milledgeville to Augusta
is rapidly hastening to completion. And tho
period will be short indeed until Macon shall
have a direct railway through the gold region
of North Georgia and the copper mines of East
Tennessee to Knoxville, where the principal
road, or a branch, from Cincinnati will make a
direct connexion through the coal regions of
the Cumberland Mountains, and the fat pastures
of old Kentucky to the Queen City of the West.

They were halted a mile and a half from Co

over which Lafayette walked was completely

The Sun tells a pretty good story on a conple
of Teutons one of whom was trying to teach the
other just arrived in this country, how to sell
whisky by the small:
The old chap told the new one to stand in
front of the counter and act customer, while he
played seller. Customer was instructed to ask
for “whisky.” After awhile the old one handed
it out. “New” drank it down without a quiver
or bat of the eye lids. The old one became
frantic and exclaimed: py tom, 1st dident tells
youst ter drinks mit em. 1st learning yon mit
to sells de tarn staff, you tarn head of de mut
ton.”
Of tho prospects of an election next fall for
a new Legislature, and the duty of the people
of Georgia in the premises, the Columbus En
quirer says:
Bullock and Butler are working to prevent
prohibitory legislation by Congress, so that the
Governor and Legislature may not have posit
ive Federal inhibition to their carrying out their
scheme. If this session of Congress adjourns
without passing the Bingham amendment, or
some similar prohibition, they no doubt intend
that there shall be no election in November
next, and that tho term of the Legislature shall
be extended because of the failure to elect a
new one at the proper time. When the Legis
lature re-assembles in July, if Congress shall
have adjourned by that time, this u coup d’ etat”
will no doubt be fully developed. We shall then
be fully informed of the extent and baseness of
die whole plot against Georgia, that has first
sought Congressional support, and failing to
obtain that, will doubtless be attempted without
it We are clearly of the opinion that the peo
ple of the State should hold the election, no
m&tter what the Governor and Legislature may
do. But this is a question that will demand
the united counsels and the concerted action of
the Democrats and Conservatives of the State,
and we desire at present only to call attention
to a doud which is showing itself in the politi
cal horizon.

The Savannah Republican says:
On Saturday last an event or leading impor
tance occured in this city. There assembled at
the Bank parlor of the Central railroad the Pres
idents of three lines of trunk road in this Stato
and Alabama. By previous appointment, Mr.
Pollard, of tho Montgomery and West Point
road; Hon. J. P. King, of the Georgia, and Mr.
Wadley, of tho Central road, met to confirm
and arrange the results of long negotiation, by
which it was sought to secure to the two lattor
equal privileges in tho use of the Montgomery
and West Point road, which is tho only link now
wanting to cqmject tho waters of the Savannah
with those of’fno Mississippi. At an early day,
with comprehensive and wise policy, the Cen
tral road determined to aid the Selma link by
endorsing its bonds.
The Georgia road did not accept this policy
until recently. The meeting of Saturday final
ly concluded tho arrangement, by which the two
roads assumed equal obligations and secured
equal advantages. This subject has heretofore
been alluded to in the annual reports of the com
panies.
Last week, as wo learn from the Montgomery
Mail, the Montgomery and West Point road
was consolidated with the Selma. Tho Sel
ma link may be regarded as completed by the
1st of September nest. At that period Augusta
and Savannah will be in direct, uninterrupted
connection with Vicksburg. Tho Mail remarks
on the completion of this important link, that
without the timely "and continued aid of the
Central road it conld not have beon secured.

Sambo’s Doom.
A Western Press dispatch, of Monday, from
New York, quotes from the report of the Super
intendent of Immigration at that point some
interesting facts. The number of emigrants
from Liverpool last week was 4,863; from North
Germany, 3,161; from Glasgow and London,
1,908; and in sailing vessels 1,900. Total, 11,-
822. Out of this number over 8000 have gone
West or into the interior. During the year end
ing May 31st, over 310,000 emigrants arrived at
Castle Garden, of whom more than a twentieth
were Scandinavians. These latter, two-thirds of
whom have gone West, brought with them
nearly five hundred thousand dollars. There has
been a gain to the population of New York from
the influx of foreigners during the last twelve
months of over sixty thousand emigrants who
arrived last month. New York got fourteen thou
sand, Illinois six thousand, Pennsylvania nearly
six thousand, Wisconsin three thousand, Ohio
two thousand, California six thousand, New
Jersey fifteen hundred, New England States
three thousand, the Southern States seventeen
hundred, and the others went West.

Increased Representation in Con
gress.
Under the apportionment bill as amended by
the Senate, on Monday, the number of mem'
bersof the House of Representativesisincreased
tp three hundred. There are now, with all the
States represented, 244. These additional 56
members are, by the bill in question, to be elec
ted on the general ticket system. Under this
newapportionmentGeorgia will gain three mem
bers, giving her ten members of the House. It
is safe, then, to put Georgia down*, whenever
she votes for members of Congress, as'good for
seven Democrats, good and true, in that body,
at tho very lowest calculation.
Heads Level.
Red Clond and Spotted Tail seem to have
very clear ideas on some subjects. In their
last talk with Mr. Secretary Cox, Red Cloud was
protesting against the treacherous treatment
and bad faith he had met with. He says to the
Secretary.
“Look at me. Myhair is straight. I was free
borne on this land. An interpreter who signed
the treaty has curly hair. He is no man. I will
see him hereafter. I know I have been wrong
ed.”
The report does not state that Cox called
Mm to order and told him about the civil rights
bill, tho 15th Amendment and so on.
IunDcent.
There has been a good deal said abont the
bad character of the printers, but a little cir
cumstance has recently occnrred which conclu
sively shows their freedom from guile. An ad
vertisement of a certain “kid-fitting corset”
has been sent out from Geo. P. Rowell’s agency
to most of the Southern papers, accompanied
by a cut representing the article. Almost every
paper put the cut in upside down, the printers
not knowing how the thing ought to go. The
Times was among the number, although the
man that set up the ad. has been the father of
a family for many years. In what other pro
fession can you find such innocence as this ?—
Chattanooga Times.
Innocence, indeed! We call it- the most
wooden-head stupidity. The man that don’t
know how a corset ought to fit has certainly
never played brevet corset; and if he hasn’t, he’s
worse than stupid—he’s been flying in the face
of Providence. But we’ll believe as much of
this innocence story as we please.
Sound Logic.—The Washington ^correspond
ent of tho Baltimore Gazette says a “Democratic
member of the House proposes to advocate
Whittemore’s admission on the following
grounds: This is a representative Government,
and Congress has no right to dictate to the peo
ple whom they shall select to represent them.
The House branded Whittemore as a thief, and
with that brand he went back to his constituents.
They have re-elected him. The inference is that
in his district the thieves are in a majority. But
the House has no right to say that those thieves
cannot be represented. Whittemore must have
Ms seat.”
The consolidation of telegraph lines effected
in Boston now seem3 to have been more formid
able than first reported. The new organization
has a capital of $10,000,000, and includes the
Franklin Company, tho old Atlantic and Pacific
Company, and the linos of the Union and Cen
tral Pacific Railroad. This combination ap
pears to have been effected as against the Wes
tern Union. Should such prove to be the case,
we shall doubtless have a telegraphic war fully
as lively and animated as that now inaugurated
between the great railway intersts.
African Secession.—At Omaha, on the 8th in
stant, the colored voters held a mass meeting,
in wMch they denounced the Radical party and
formally withdrew from that organization. The
trouble grew out of the late municipal election
in that place. The wMte Rads put a negro on
the ticket for Alderman, and then refused to
vote for him. They bought the negro votes in
that way, but would not respond in the prioe.
And we fancy that may be the universal expe
rience of the negro politicians in all bargains
of the kind.
Macon Canal and Water Works;
We have this morning the first report of the
Committee of Organization, wMch will be read
with great interest. There is no doubt if the
peoplo will toko bold of this enterprise with
liberality and activity, it will be carried out and
open a new future to the city in the way of com-
JHacon Canal and Water Works.
Editors Telegraph & Messenger :
We, the undersigned members of the com
mittee appointed as a provisional board for the
purpose of arranging the preliminaries for the
permanent organization of the Canal and Water
Works Company, and for securing subscription
to the stock of the same, deem it proper to state
the following facts to the community. Several
surveys have been made of proposed routes for
the canal, two of which were upon the west
bank of the river and located upon substantially
the same ground. No route has yet been se
lected, nor can ibis be done until the permanent
organization, when it will be a matter under
jihe control of the President and Board of Di
rectors. As, however, there is a belief enter
tained by many that the canal will probably be
located on the west bank of the river, as pro
posed by the two surveys mentioned, it became
proper that we should ascertain from the pro
prietors of the land along those proposed routes
at what price we could obtain the right of way
for the canal, and the land necessary for fac
tory sites and houses for the operatives, in case
the canal should be so located.
The right of way for the canal through its
whole length, we are satisfied, can he obtained
without cost. If, however, the canal is located
upon this route, a large body of laud will be
necessary near its terminus for factory sites and
houses for operatives, besides other structure,
wMch it may be necessary for the company to
erect. This land i3 owned by several gentlemen,
most of them residing in this city. It was pur
chased by them for canal purposes since the war,
and has cost them in cash and interest at 7 per
cent, about $38,000. In response to oar enqui
ry, they have replied tons in writing, that if the
canal is located upon their body of land they
will give the right of way and sell to the com
pany one half undivided interest in the same
for $20,000, to he paid in the stock of the com
pany.
This proposition we consider a liberal one,
and behove that the proprietors, in making it,
l« animated by a sincere desire to secure the
success of this great enterprise. If they were
disposed to speculate upon their property they
could probably obtain from others in a short
time, if not at present, a larger price. TMs
body of land embraces about six hundred and
fifty acres, and extends from Mrs. Clark’s, near
the cemetery, along the river, and in the rear
of Vineville to a point near the property of the
Orphans’Home. It is valuable not only for
the purposes of the canal, but on account of its
proximity to Macon and Vineville, it is avail
able for building lots.
The main business of the company will be
the renting of its water power and the selling
of factory sites, etc., is a mere incident. The
company will, 'under this arrangement, have
possession of the land, and control the sale of
the lots, the present proprietors simply receiv
ing one half of the purchase money. They will,
of course, have no interest in the water rents.
It must be borne in mind that the company
are under no obligation, legal or moral, to locate
the canal upon this ground, or accept this pro
position. It is binding only on the proprietors
of the land in case the canal is located upon it.
A competent engineer will be employed to rnn
all practicable lines, and the company will then
decide upon that most desirable in all particu
lars.
These facts are stated simply to meet the ob
jections of some who anticipate that difficulties
may arise between the company and the pro
prietors of this land, in case the canal is located
upon it. Messrs. L. N. Whittle and Wm. B.
Johnston, two members of this committee, do
not join ns in making this statement, because
they are part owners of the land referred to.
The members of our committee will proceed
at once to canvass the city for subscriptions to
the stock of the company. It is our design to
give every oitizen of Macon, rich or poor, an
opportunity to subscribe, and if any one i3
omitted it will be unintentionaL We hope to
meet with a liberal response. Let the rich con
tribute out of their abundance and the poor act
cording to their ability. It is, indeed, a grea-
enterprise, one the benefits of wMch if success
ful, will be incalculable. Material gain, in
creased . comfort, improved health, additional
security against fire, and a large increase of our
population will be some of the certain fruits of
this important enterprise, if we will now by
proper liberality and energy secure its suc
cess. Respectfully,

Dickens—Tho Death of the Great
Novelist—Apoplexy the Cause.
London, June 10—3 p. m,
The following particulars of the distressing
calamity have been obtained:
Mr. Dickens was entertaining a dinner party
at Ms house at Gad’s HilL Miss Hogarth, who
was seated near him, observed evident signs of
distress upon Ms countenance. She then made
the remark to him that he must be ill.
To tMs Mr. Dickens replied, “Oh, no; I have
only got a headache; I shall be better present
ly.” He then asked that the open window be
shut. Almost immediately he became uncon
scious, and fell back into his chair insensible.
He was immediately conveyed to Ms room, and
medical attendance summoned, bnt Mr. Dick
ens still remained unconscious, and never re
covered animation.
His son and daughters remained steadfastly
at Ms bedside until his decease. The ladies
manifested many demonstrations of grief at tho
sad event, and the scene is described as mourn
ful in the extreme.
Various reminiscences of the eminent author
have been recalled by his sudden demise. It is
stated that Mr. Dickens has several times of
late complained that ho experienced consider
able difficulty in working, because M3 powers
of application were becoming impotent.
He also said that his thoughts no longer came
to him so spontaneously as in former times.
WMIe at Preston he had need of medical aid,
and called upon a physician, who warned him
not to continue reading, because he was doing
so at the peril of Ms life.
A Tariff Dodge.
A curious feature of the new tariff bill, (says
the St. Louis Republican,) was developed a day
or two since, wMch throws a significant ray of
light upon the modus operandi of modern legis
lation. The very last article in the free list, as
adopted by the House, was set down as “Lerant
x Glonte,” a term wMoh nobody except the ini
tiated understood, and wMch the initiated them
selves did not care to explain. The ignorant
members started forth in quest of knowledge,
and soon ascertained that “Lerant x Glonte”
meant asbestos, and moreover they learned that
three mines of this valuable material had re
cently been discovered in Canada, and that a
joint stock company was forming in New York
to work them. This unravelled the mystery.
The owners of the mines wanted to import the
asbestos without duty; they knew this could
not be done unless by a shrewd trick; their
agents in the lobby manipulated a member or
members of the tariff committee, and by a mere
accidental flourish of the pen, asbestos vanish
ed from the list of duty-paying articles and re
appeared in the free list tinder the graceful
soubriquet of “Lerant x Glonte.” Mr. Sohenck
declares that it was not in the original bill, nor
in his printed Bnbstitnte, bnt was popped in at
the right moment, and went through the House,
not exactly tinder the previous question, bnt by
a previous understanding. The author of this
latest dodge is as yet unknown, bnt he has cer
tainly developed talents wMoh will secure Mm
fame and fortune unless the tone of politioal
morality undergoes a wonderful change.
