MACON, AUGUST 30, 1870.
PUBLIC CELEBRATION.
f.ytnr the Corner-Stone of lbeKew Conrl*
bonse. i.
On Wednesday, the 31st instant, the corner
stone of the new Court-house of Bibb county,
^rill be publicly laid by the Masonio Fraternity,
with appropriate ceremonials. The Masons, In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows, Mayor and
Council, the Fire Department and all other or
ganizations of the city, will turn out on the oc
casion, and the address will be delivered by
the Nestor of the Bar, Hon. Washington Poe.
The citizens of Bibb and all others interested
are cordially invited to be present.
The New Court-house is now just beginning
to rise above the course of stone sills, which
cap the basement walls. The work, so far, is
of the most substantial and massive character,
and the original plan has been changed so as to
provide flights of stone steps for all the en
trances. The first story will be, to a large ex
tent, fire-proof, and two of the rooms will be
completely so. The whole will be an imposing
pile, and a splendid architectural ornament to
the city. The original estimates call for an
outlay of about $86,000, but some changes have
been made involving a considerable increase in
the expense. By the time the last stroke has
been, applied, the building will cost, as the com
mittee aay, about $100.000—to which let ns add
fifty per cent, and call it $150,000, none of
which, we think, will be wasted. We do not
donbt that the work will bo carried on economi
cally and faithfully; but the plan contemplates
a very showy and handsome structure, which is
bonnd to oost a good deal of money. We can’t
be fine on small expense.
Committees ot* Public Safety
History is constantly repeating itself. The
French Corps Legislatif is, as far os it can he,
the National Convention over again; and in
hnmblo imitation of that body, the storms with
in rival in their dismal bowlings the storms
without. The French politicians of the Left
seem to have a prodigious and unreasoning
faith in the saving efficacy of mere noise. The
telegrams inform ns that they put a question to
Count Palikao demanding some farther particu
lars of his information from Marshall Bazaine,
and then dro wned the answer in anch a persistent
uproar that nothing can be heard. Then Here
by. after this feat, insists that nine more shall
be added to the ‘‘Committee of Public Safety” in
order, perchance, to reduce the Military Conn-
•cils of France to the same Babel-like confusion
of tongues. If France had not made a similar
exhibition in the Revolution of 1793, we should
Bay the same sort of chronic malady, which is
reducing all 80-c3lled legislative deliberative
bodies to contempt, had seized npon the Corps
Legislatif.
A Great Strike in Massachusetts.—On Fri
day last there were nearly 8,000 factory opera
tives “on the street” at Fall River, Massachu
setts. This is the result of a strike among the
cotton hands. The city of Fall River is noted
the country over for its immense production of
cotton goods—almost wholly print cloths—no
less than twenty mills running over half a mil
lion of spindles, 12,000 looms being occupied
with this manufacture, producing upwards of
100,000,000 yards per annum, and giving em
ployment to probably 10,000 operatives in the
various departments. The strikers resist a re
duction of from 7J to 10 per cent on t}ie wages
of the spinuers and weavers. The mill owners
express themselves perfectly satisfied with the
condition of affairs. They declare that at this
season'they only care to run for the sake of
keeping the machinery in trim, and that their
mills were not paying them at the old wages.
Therefore,until the demand for goods springs up,
they are willing to remain idle. The mill-own
ners say they will not yield. The spinners say
that, under the old soale of pay, a man could
not earn over $10.50 a week; some could make
$12, and others only $9—the fair average be
ing about $10.50.
That’s the Way the Money Goes,
One of Bullock's organs at Atlanta, under
the head of a“CoL Blodgott in Luck," favors the
public with a minuto description of a fine phro-
ton and pair of horses lately presented to Blod
gett by the State Road “greasers” and “was
ters. ” The carriage and the harness are heavily
mounted with gold, and on the door is the
monogram “F. B.” The whole establishment
cost somebody—we guess we can spell the
name in twoBylables—$2,250.
Thu3 these beggars and raiders ride—'we hope
it will be to the devil in the end. And all the
while the State Road pays no dividends to the
people whose property it !b. Its only use, now,
seems to be to fill Radical pockets, and enable
the leaders in the infamous raid upon the State
Treasury to ape the airs and simulate the lux
ury of real gentlemen. But we’ll change all
that in November!
The Agency Tuesday.
In this Senate tho resolution of Campbell
(negro) to take the Savannah bill ontof the
hands of the Judiciary, whom the Radicals
thought would report unfavorably on it, was
discussed, and finally passed by a vote of 19.tp
15. The bill was then discussed to adjournment
without final action. Ahill incorporating the
Atlanta Canal and Water Works Company, of
fered by Donning, was also discussed and finally
passed.
In the House a bill incorporating and grant
ing State aid to the North Georgia and Ten
nessee railroad was passed,, and O'Neal, of
Lowndes, gave notioo of a morion to reconsider.
The education bill was next taken up and the
first three'sections adopted, though 21 sections
were discussed. Fending the discussion, the
House adjourned.

The Jefferson County Trouble*.
Strange stories come to us, on apparently the
most reliable foundation, in relation to the
Jefferson county troubles. It is said the ne
groes there have written instructions from Gov.
Bullock to take the law into their own hands
and avenge their own quarrels. Such advice,
if given, is a death-blow to all government of
law from its highest representative and expo
nent. Few crimes are committed in Georgia
upon any other principle than that of avenging
one’s ownrealor fancied wrongs; butallgovern-
ment has its foundation upon the exactly con
trary principle, that no man shall avenge his
own wrongs, bnt that he shall submit to have
them adjudged and punished by a common gov
ernment—representing alike the wronged and
the wrong-doer.
No mnn be astonished at the violent and
unreasonable conduct of the Jefferson county
negroes after receiving such advice from the
Governor. Their modicum of intelligence was
incapable of comprehending the absurdity, as
well as criminality of their own actions. One
of their number in a frenzy of passion against
a mule, which did not keep the furrow in plow
ing, stops his plow, goes into his cabin—brings
forth the ever-ready gun of the darkey, and
shoots the mule through the head. He is ap
prehended and committed to the connty jail for
the act. In a few hours an armed posse is
raised, under these instructions of Governor
Bullock—the jail forced and two negroes con
fined therein released. The negroes then, to
the number of 300, all armed, paraded the
town on Sunday, cursing the whites for “d—d
white-livered sons of bitches,” and daring them
to come out for a fight.
It is highly probable that if the whites had
been armed, tho challenge would have been ac
cepted and a bloody melee followed. Bat, as a
general thing, the whites of Georgia are with
out arms, while there is scarcely a negro in the
State, from fourteen years old upwards, who
has not gun or pistol, and often both.
After this, the negroes go into camp near
town, threatening fire and plunder. The peo
ple send off to Atlanta for U. S. troops to pro
tect them, and troops go down into Jefferson to
arrest and punish the negroes for a literal com
pliance with the advice and instructions of
Governor Bollock.
The Jefferson performance is a sample stroke
of Radical policy, viable in corresponding de
velopments, particularly in the Carolines and
everywhere throughout the South. Social har
mony in the South is death to Radicalism!
'When the negroes and whites live harmonious
ly and pleasantly together, and the industry of
the country goes on prosperously to both races,
the sympathy is apt to extend even unto the
ballot box. This will never do for Mr. Radical.
Discord and qnarrels which shall exert a mutu
ally repellant force ppon the two races are his
only hope.
Consequently he is busy night and day sow
ing strife, hunting up negro grievances and in
venting them when he cannot find them made
to hand. A quarrel or a fight between a white
man and a negro is his life -and glory, and
though it may be about the most indifferent
and (.trivial thing in the world, his business is
to give it a political character and bearing, and
proclaim it with a thousand other things which
don’t happen, as evidence of ‘frebel hostility to
the loyal blacks.” A homicide of a white man
by a negro, or of one negro by another, is un
worthy of attention; bnt of a negro by a white
is richness and fatness! We have no donbt they
wonld cheerfully give five hundred dollars
apiece for them out of the State Treasury, rath
er than that they should not happen.
Such. is tho situation of the Southern States
in the hands of the miserable white crew who
are engineering negro votes for their own ben
efit. Such is the ceaseless labor-, of Holden,
Scott, Bullock, Reed and their compeers. Their
political, personal and pecuniary interest all lie
in the destruction of social harmony and in
breeding bad blood between tbe the whites and
blacks. Peace is poison to them. Discord and
race hostility are the bread they fatten on. In
the States in their hands a violent and desperate
conflict of races is only saved by the ex
treme forbearance of the whites, who wait pa
tiently for these things to work ont their legiti
mate results, in xnonlding the opinion of the
country. That will straighten matters after
many days. Meantime, in their hands the
ignorant negro is achieving for himself, to a
lamentable extent, an unfortunate reputation
and an unenviable destiny.
Tbe War < Mtaation.
The French situation was placed in a much
more favorable light by the day dispatches yes
terday. The French government, instead of
demanding the intervention of Italy and Eng
land to save Paris, as represented by London
dispatches two or three days ago, absolutely
refuses intervention so long as a hostile Prus
sian foot presses the soil of France. This a
position worthy a great and powerful nation,
and shows that the Frenoh are determined on
self-extrication. .
But such mistatements reflect no credit on
the English. They ought to get over that tra
ditional hatred of France. The Emperor has
been their best and most faithfol ally, and has
pursued a magnanimous course towards. Great
Britain, which should evoke some degree of re
ciprocity. Bat instead of this the British press,
particularly the Times, has sedulously colored
the news against France from the very outset,
and labored with onwonted energy to prejudioe
the world against the Empire. Witness the
production of the secret treaty in the London
Times—showing that the Times was secretly
juggling with Bismark. Witness the story of
the flight of the Prince Imperial—then of the
Emperor—and last of all the positive assertion
that PrineA Napoleon had' been. dispatched to
demand Italian intervention to save Paris, and
the French Minister had reoeived instructions
to make a similar demand of Eogland 1 And
to say nothing more of these canards, all the
current news through English sources seems to
have been colored in the same interest.
But besides this firm attitude of the French,
we have tho statement that Bazaine and Mc
Mahon will soon be in the field offensively, and
the latter has a well supplied army of 170,000
men; and a farther report that the Crown
Prince has ceased his advance on Paris. The
London dispatch says, that ‘ ‘news of a French
victory wonld cause a panic In that market.”
(because it would indicate a postponement of
peace) shows that the English are contempla
ting the possibility of a turn in the wheel of
fortune in favor of the Frenoh. We shall’ wait
further advioes with increased interest. We
have too much lore for the Prussians to permit
us to contemplate their overrunning France
with entire serenity. It would spoil them—
make them a nuisanoe. On the oontrary, we
hope they will be induced to return home.
There is no place like home.’’ We hope they
will be persuaded to go without further difficul-
ty—but we doubt it
