MACON, OCTOBER 14, £70.
1>K vril OF GEN. BOBT. E. LEE.
"&Lww&i'3r** nifiht anri0unce lhe
death of Gbn Root E. I«v of Virginia, the
noblest and gravest type of manhood of the
tgo in which he lived. The announcement will
thrill with anguish and sorrow the hearts of the
good and the brave throughout the civil zed
world.
We would respectfully suggest that our city
authorities appoint a day of mourning in honor
to the memory of Gen. Lee, and that a eulogy
be delivered from the pulpits in all our churches
upon his honored name and noble traits

Ms Weabe Weston, a very enthusiastio Dom-
{Xjrat, who la'ely died in New Hampshire, left
a will and testament in which he enjoined it on
his executors to have him home to his grave by
“six true Democrats,” and to pay six dollars to
each of the boaters. He also directed that no
funeral services should be performed over his
remains, unless a clergyman could be found
“who had never preached political or war ser-
jaons.” The result wa3 that such a minister
could not be found in the neighborhood, and
tht* obstinate old Democrat was buried like a
Pagan.
The Requlatok is a monthly paper published
by J. H. Z iiin & Co., Philadelphia, devoted to
soience, modicine, and truth, with an occasional
and incidental reference to Simmons' Liver
Begnlator. We may say of Simmons’ Begula-
torwbat old Burton u*ed to say of John Smith;
“It appears to tne I have heard of that name
before. Darter Sally, do you recollect ever hav
ing h.-am of a man by the name of John
Smith? Didn’t we meet of a man by that ere
name some where about ten years ago, when
we went down to a steamboat ?”
Cbntbai. Raileoad Dies —The Central Bail-
road and Banking Company announce that they
have opened »n Agency in Macon for the trans*
action of a general banking business at No GO,
Mulberry Ktient, where they will also hold the
offices of the President and Treasurer of the
Southwestern Itai'.rcad Company, and will pay
dividends on mock, and interest on Coupons.
We arc gratified at this addition to the Banking
Capital of Macon, and hope the fact will be
mutually advantageous to the trade of the city
and to the Cumpany.
A Quick Tbip —The James Adger, of the
New Yi<rk and Charleston line, commanded by
Capt. Tom Lockwood, left Chatleston 23d of
September with a full cargo, which she dis
charged in New York, and reloading with equal
ly lar*e cargo reached Charleston on the ensu
ing Friday, just seven days thereafter, making
the quicke-t round trip between the two cities
that ha* been made for a number of years.—
This extraordinary feat is due to the improve
ments that have been added to this popular
Steamer during the past summer.
Eminently Satisfactory.—The New Orleans
Time* says the experiment of Chinese labor on
tile Millandon plantation near that city has
proved eminently satisfactory to all parties.
An old planter who has recently visited the
phice reports that they were doiDg work which
negro laborers could not bo got to do—to wit,
getting wood out of a swamp, where they had
to wade and work all day above their ankles in
water. They were cheerful, active and zealous
to a degree that made onr old planter sigh for a
few such on his own plantation.
The American officers who sailed for Egypt
In the early spring, finding their reception by

A Blew ferk Celebrity. .'-i.f"
The writer had a good look at the notorious
James Fisk, Jr., a few days ago. while entering
the Opera House inNesr York city that bears his
name. We studied him all over head, faoe,
expression, clothes, diamond, “d with a
view to soe whether there was salient in any of-
these thing* any point that could explain why
gold should shower upon him, and he stand, as
he does to-dsy, confessedly among the financial
magnates and sharpest money-changers of the
land. We saw nothing but a stoat man, .with a.
gross, seosual face a ad head, with no particular
expres-ion save one that .modest women would
blush to see themselves the object of, clad in a>
brown velvet coat and white pants, wearing no
vest, head topped with a silk bat of the latest
device, and an enormous diamond solitaire pin
glittering in an ooeanio expanse of shirt bosom.
This was the man—his costume, expression,
and general appearanoe as he showed himself to
ns. There were groups of men all around,
standing and staring, as we were, and such, so
far as we could see, was their conclusion, too.
Fisk, himself, consoious that ha was the object
of all this staring, fairly beamed with smiles.
He looked as if he was there for the purpose
and could never have enough.
Wo passed into his Opera House and there
we saw and listened to scenes and words whose
contomptnous disregard of decency fairly match
ed the life and pursuits of the man who had set
them forth for the amusement of his patrons. The
opera (save the mark!) was “Little Faust," and
the Marguerite was a woman surpassingly lovely
bat who owed—to jadge from the feet of its re
peated publication in the newspapers—more of
the applause that overwhelmed her to the fact
that she had been at one time the mistress of
the Emperor N<poleon, than to the fatal gift of
beauty- As she lead in half veiled indecency
of look and attitude, and in supplying a double
entendre where tho none too chary author had
not, so the whole troop followed. It was a sac
rifice to lewdoess from beginning to end. With
as few scruples, possibly, as most, folks we oon-
fess to the reflection when the certain fell that
the time and plaoe were both wrong—that it
should have been Pompeii, A. D., 79, instead
of Now York, A. D., 1870.
And yet this man, and his Opera House, and
his players, are sensations in New York. They
inspire daily paragraphs in the press, and draw
crowds nightly to stare, and applaud, and gloat.
Fisk himself is regarded as a great man whose
oareer is a marvel to be wondered at, and, if
possi* le, imitated. He is proclaimed a jolly,
freehanded, good fellow, always ready to serve
his friends and serve ont his foes with a vim and
heartiness characteristic of men of mark.
Among certain classes, come of them quite re
spectable; too, he is by far the most popular
man in New York city.
Alas! that the tale should be told. Tbis man’s
career would require some of the plainest
words in the Eogltsh tongue to fitly set it forth. -
He, with his confederates, have openly and
shamelessly seized a great railroad, converting
its immense revenues to their own persona
profit and pleasure. They do as pleaseth them
with its management, its stock and its profits,
meanwhile lifting np tho leg and shooting ont
the lip of contempt and defiance at the stock
holders—including many widows and orphans—
whose money bnflt it, and who annually whistle
for even the ghost of a dividend. Fisk msy be
everything that his fuglemen claim, bnt he has
certainly, in conjunction with others, appropri
ated the Erie railway. That foot defies denial
We shndder for the future of a city and a civ
ilization that have made such a man not only
possible but popular—that condones crimes that
under other circumstances the law has gripped
with its fieroeBt menace, and that follows, and
flatters, and gapes at, and talks of an adven
turer whose morals, tastes, habits, sympathies
and aspirations exoite the natural disgust of
every decent man and honest woman in the
land.
Another Mulatto in the Field.
We received yesterday, as an advertisement,
tbe address of A. H. Gaston, to the voters of
the 4th Distriot, in whiob, for reasons assigned,
he offers himself as a candidate for the 4lat
Congress against Jeff. Lqng on an issue of in
telligence and personal character. Gaston’s
address comes in his own handwriting, and is
printed as written. It shows that he is posted
in orthography and the art of writing.
GastoD, like Jeff, is a bright mulatto, and
since tbe boys are traveling on color and race,
it is nut a little remarkable that all Georgia
Radicalism fails to present ua with a single
Congressional candidate of the real African
blood. They are all more than half white.
And this is no matter of accident, bnt a piece
intriguery of the little knot of white Radicals
in Georgia who manage these things, f hey
profess to be under a terrible apprehension
that they can’t bring np their whole white foroe
to the sticking point of voting for an out-and-
out negro, and what if they conld not? There’s
but a few baker’s dozen of them any w«y.
They would be willing to support negroes 1 O,
yes. In course they would; but then there are
certain other white Radicals who are lamenta
bly prejudiced against color. They can bring
them up to voting for a light mulatto, but
they oertainly would balk at a negro 1 And tbat
is the amount of their hoisted principle of
“no distinction on account of oolor or race!”
But we have no dunbt there is a good deal
more behind this business of running only am-
tattoos for Congress. We feel certain this little
knot of Radicals have also got their secret
orders from the big Radicals in Washington, to
see that no negroes get into Congress from
Georgia. These kid-gloved gentry at the Na
tional Capitol, and their stately dames and
daughters, don't like the speotaole of a coal-
black negro sitting on the floor of tbe Honse,
and actually claiming, the “no distinction on
account of oolor atid race,” which tbe Radicals
profes* lo concede. ’ It would be “oriid”—
borr.d to sit cheoi by jowl with negroes take
re rrbhmeuts together in the Congressional
ReStaaraut, and a friendly dip in rho same Con
gressional bath tub. Hence they have tipped
tbis little knot of Georgia white Radicals tbe
wink. “If yon must nominate oolored men
for Congress, take them so light that you can’t
distinguish them from a dark-skinned white
man when the blind* are closed and the cur
tains drawn! For pity’s sake, don't send any
regular blacks here. We can't abide them, and
onr whole people of the North won t stand it,
either. They like to tali about “no distinc
tion on acoount of color”—but it is all gas. If
you crowd negroes into Congress, onr own
constituents will bolt and curse the whole con
cern. Be very light on color, therefore. Send
ns nobody who will not look like a white man
in a shady chamber I
That is the story, in brief, of the grand mu
latto Congressional roes in Georgia in 1870.
So far from being a ooneeesion to the negroes,
these nominations, rightly considered, are an
insult to the negro. They are the rankest evi
dence of “proscription of tha negro,” perpetr
ated voder the hypocritical cry of “no dis
tinction on account of color or raoe.”

The Bill er Fronds.
When Akerman's bill to effect’' a fraudulent
election in Georgia came before the Honse,
that body, nndar pressure, may-be, of a twinge
of remorse, added an amendment authorizing
tbs Ordinaries of.the several counties to appoint
two'additional inspectors of Elections to act
oonjointiy with the three who.under the terms
of tiie bill, were to be appointed by tbe Gov
ernor with the advice and'consent of the Senate.
It is true, many Democrats thought this, wasfco
important concession. . The ordinaries being,
in most oases, strong Radical partisans, would
follow out the clear intent of the bill, and only
add two more nnsornpulons partisans to each
county board of inspection. But we think dif
ferently. There are many Ordinaries in tbis
State who, in a general respect for equity, fair
ness and the purity of the ballot- box— in regard
to their own reputation as men of integrity—
and in reference to their own re-eleotion here
after—would not be parties to any scheme to
eheat the people out of a fair ballot, either in
receiving or counting the votes. Such men
wonld exercise their appointing power in favor
of an honest election,-and, in so’doing, embar
rass or defeat the main object of the bill.
Under these circumstances, our Atlanta tele
gram of the 12th states that Gov. Bullock sent
a message to tbe Senate on that day, “asking
for a construction of tbis amendment” He
says that when he signed the bill he thought
tbe inspectors' appointed by the Ordinaries
were to be submitted to the advice and consent
of the Senate 1— a thought the most extraordi
nary, we venture to say, which ever entered the
head of a sane man. The idea that the Ordi
naries of tho coun’ies were to nominate, “sub
ject to the advioe and oonsent of the Senate,” is
so gross and absurd a solecism in all govem-
,mental proceeding that'the wonder is how it
should ever have occurred to any man, even in
seeking a protenee to defeat legislation.
But the Governor, it seems, not only con
ceived tbat idea, but he says tbe Senate must
have held it also, or they would not have con-
seated to the amendment. Not to put too fine
a point to it, the Governor’s statement strikes
ua as simply too ridicalous to gain his own credit
or that of anybody else.
The idea of the Governor (as we suppose) is
either to have the amendment repealed alto
gether, or, if this ridiculous construction is
adupted, the little security it affords of a fair
election can be defeated. The Senate can re
fuse to confirm the appointment of any honest
man or demoorat, and indeed, by simply neg
lecting to confirm the nominations.made by the
Ordinaries the original plan of thebill is secured,
and the board of managers reduced to three ap-.
pointoes of the Governor.
Tbe State Koad.
We see from the Atlanta papers that Jndge
Parrott addressed a “large and respectable”
audience in the Representative Hall Tuesday
night in opposition to selling the State Road.—
The Jadge took the time-honored, patriotic,
magnifioent role, bnt the impndent Fitzpatrick
broke him down on the question of profit and
loss. Fitz interrupted him pertenaeiousiy -per
haps under the inspiriting influences of old rye
—and forced the Judge to admit that the ex
penses of the road had exoeeded the receipts,
and it was a losing oonoern in the hands of the
State.
Bnt nevertheless the Jadge eontended that
“it was better to keep the road even if it did
not pay,” and that “even a lavish expenditnre
would not justify a sale.’’ The Jadge then
went heavily on monopolies and the danger that
the people wonld be fleeced and imposed upon
if the road should get into private hands; bnt
as, in truth, the road as now managed is a great
obstacle to low freights, the Jnd^e was as lame
on this as on the other point.
This road, in the hands of a company of the
right kind, we have no donbt, wonld maye money
to its owner* and do business more cheaply for
the people. It wonld be a good property in
private bands and therefore should sell for a
good price ; but as a'politioal institution, look
at it nfitr. After doing a business which should
have made it rich, it is turned over broken
down and worn ont by its own traffio upon the
State Treasury to be pnt in repair, or must be
put out of State bonds in the shape of lease or
sfde. Its revenues have been misapplied and
wasted or it has been managed' with such total
disregard of sound economy that is is bank
rupt.
In the dispensation of its vast annual reve
nues how many political leeches and parasites
draw their subsistence from it? Are they to be
numbered by hundreds or thoosanda? And isit
any wonder tbat they should be horror-struck
at the idea of a sale? In private hands, there
most be comparatively few employee*—low
wages, diligent service; and this wonld be a
bad business for the placemen. We must ex
pect a groan from them.
Rut we solemnly believe that if this road can
be well sold and the proceeds of sale scoured
beyond contingency to the redemption of the
State Bonds, it is better to do it now than to
delay farther and fare worse. If the balance
of the State ean stand the administration of
railway interests by private corporators, so
can Atlanta and North Georgia. At all events,
the State at large should not be taxed to enable
tbe W. <fc A. Ila lway an? further to waste or
mismanage its iuoome.
Senatorial Construction.
Gov. Bullock’s message of appeal to the Sen
ate to give an authoritative and oonolosive con
struction of a law passed by both Honse* of
Legislature, (no-called,) is a proceeding paral
leled only by his own construction of the Fraud
Bill, that the appointments of election iospeo-
tors by county ordinaries, were to be made sub
ject to the advioe and consent of the Senate.
How can the Senate give a binding construc
tion to an act of both Houses? Suoh a pro
ceeding would be a virtual nsuipation of
complete legislative power, and a gro-.a affront
to the House.
But nevertheless, the Senate, in re*ponse to
the appeal, did assume' to construe the aor, and
paoaed the following on the same day the mes
sage was received:
“Resolved, That his Excellency, the Gover
nor, be respectfully requested to notify the Or
dinaries of the several comities of his approval
of the Act aforesaid, and request them to send
their nominations to the Senate through lhe
Executive Department, with as little delay as
possible.”
In acoordanoe with this resolution a procla
mation was iesued on the same day calling upon
the Ordinaries to transmit to the Governor
“the names of two fit and proper persona of iu-
teligence and moral worth, as prescribed by
law, for each election preoinct established at the
county Court House, or in any city or incorpo
rated town in the State.”
Governor Bullock did not appeal to the House
to assist in giving a construction to this act,
because the House had put tha amendment in
the bill, and it was quite improbable would give
a construction to it whioh should defeat the
obvious pnrpoee of the amendment. When, we
add that the entire proceedings on this election
bill are worthy of tha bill itaelf we have perhaps
evhanated malediction. Nothing worse could
be aeitL The whole is a deliberate scheme of
fraud etmeeived in tin and brought forth in
iniquity, ifoMtciunOla

The Savannah and Atlanta Road—The
Legislature have chartered a road from Tennilo
via Sandersvi'le to Atlanta. This brings Sa
vannah and Atlanta in much closer communi
cation, it being only 110 miles from Tennile to
Atlanta. This road if run in a direct line will
pass through a portion of Hancock county. It
will probably go through Liuton and will cross
the Macon & Augusta railroad somewhere near
Davereax or Carr’s sta'ion.

We regret this determination of tho Judge,

Of onr late Fair, and of Maoon, the Federal
Union speaks as follows:
Macon Faib.—We had the pleasure of spend
ing a few hour* on last Thursday at the Macon
Fair. The attendance of visitor* was far more
moderate than last year, and the articles on ex
hibition were fewer in variety and number.—
We beard it spoken of as n failure by certain
Maconians and others; bat we did not so regard
it. We were pleased to see several thousand*
of people in attendance, and to be consoious of
a highly respectable display’of articles on enhi-
bitiou. We were far better pleased, and better
accommodated’in every way, than we were in
tbe grand mob tbat “unlawfully, riotuously and
rou ously Ha*embled” (as the old Engli-h law
forms express it) at the Macon Fair last year.
Wearesure Macon need not be discouraged. She
should regsrd tbe Fair ns a success. Next yeur
there will be a larger attendance. Many stayed
away this year through fe*r of a reception of
lost year's inconvenience, bnt will come next
year, being re-as-ured of breathing spHOo, which
they lacked in 1869. We regard Maoon as one

—a ProdauMtiou.
Whereas, on the 22d day of August, 1870. my
proclamation was issued, enjoining nentrality in
the present war between Frauce and the North
German Confederation and its allies, and de
claring, so far as then seemed necessary, tbe
respective rights and obligations of the bellig
erent parties and of the citizens of the United
States; and, whereas, subsequent information
gives reason to apprehend that armed cmisers
of the belligerents may be tempted to abn>e tbe
hospitali'y awarded to them in th« ports, har
bors, roadsteads and other waters of the United
State* by mak-ng such waters subservient .to
the purposes of war,
Now, therefore, I. Ulysses S. Grant, Presi
dent of tbe Uoited States of America, do here
by proclaim and declare that any frequenting
and uso of the waters within the jurisdiction of
the United States by the armed vessels of either
belligerent, whether public ships or privuteers.
for the purposo of preparing for hostile opera
tions or as ports of observation upon the ships
of war, or privateers, or merchant vessels of
the o’her belligerent lying within or being about
to enter tne jurisdiction of tha United States,
must be regarded as uufriendly and offensive,
and in violation of that neutrality which it is
the determination of this government to ob
serve. And to tbe end tbat tho hazard and in
convenience of such apprehended practices may
be avoided, I further proclaim and declare tbat
from and after tbe;12ih day of October inst.,
and during tho continuance of the present hos
tilities betweeu Frauce and the North German
Confederation and its allies, no ships of war or
privateer of either belligerent shall be permit
ted to make use of any port, harbor or road
stead -or other waters within the jurisdiction of
the United Sta'es as a station or pla.-eof resort
for any warlike purpose, or for the purpose of
obtaining any facilities of warlike equipment.
And no Bhip of war or privateer of either bel
ligerent shall be permitted to sail out-of or
leave any port, hatbor, roadstend or waters
subject to the jurisdiction of the United St.ves
from which a vessol of the other:.belligerent,
whether tbe same shall be a ship of, war, a pri
vateer or a merchant ijhipi shall have, previous
ly departed, until aftef’-tifU-' expiration ’ of ’at
least twenty four hours from the d-parturo of
sueh laai-meutjtjned vessel beyondTlie jurisdic-'
tioa of tho UuiteilSta'0*.
If any ship of or piiva'ear of either belliger
ents shall,'after the time thi^n.itifioation take*
effect, outer any port,'harbor, roadstead or
waters of the United States, such vessel shall be
required to d< part aud to jiut to st-a within
twenty-four hours after her entrance into such
port, harbor, roadstead or waters, eze.-ptin case
of stress of weather, or of her requiring provis
ions or things necessary for the snh'istenoe of
her crew, or for repairs, in either of which eases
the authorities of the port or of the nearest
port, as tbe ca«e may be, shall require her to
pnt to Hea as soon as possible after the expira
tion of suoh period of tweaty-four hour*, with
out permitting her to take in supplies beyond
what may be neces-ary fur her immedia'e.use;
and no suoh vessel whioh may have beeu per
mitted to remain within the waters of the Uni-
■ ed States for the purpose of repairs shall con
tinue within such port, baibor, roadstead or

h u s af er her necessary repairs shall have been
completed, unless within such twenty-fonr hours
a vessel, wheiher sbip-of-war, privateer or mer
chant ship, of the other belligerents shall have
departed therefrom, in which case the time lim
ited for the departure of sueh ship-of-war or
privateer shall be -extended so far as may be
necessary to secure an interval of not less th*n
twenty-four hours between snch departure and
that of any ship-of-war, privateer or merchant
ship of tbe other belligerent which may have
previously quit the same port, harbor, roadstead
or other waters.
No 6hip-of war or privateer of either bellig
erent shall be detained in either port, harbor,
roadstead or other waters of the United States
more than twenty-four hoars by reason of the
successive departures from such port, harbor,
roadstead or other waters of more than one
vessel of the other belligerent; bnt if there be
several vesssls of each or either of the two bel
ligerents in the same port, harbor, roadstead or
waters, the order of their departure shall be so
arranged as to afford the opportunity of leaving
alternately to the vessels of the respective bel
ligerents, and to cau*e tbe least detention con
sistent with the obiects of this proclamation.
No ship-of-war or privateer of either belliger
ent shall be permitted, while in any port, har
bor, roadstead or Waters within the jurisdiction
of the United S'ate*, to take in auy supplies
except provisions and such other things as may
be requisite for the subsistence of her crew,
and except so much coat only as may oe suffi
cient to carry suoh vessel, if; without sail pow
er, to the nearest European port of her own
country; or, in case the vessel is rigged to go
under’mil, and may also be propelled by steam
power, then with half the quantity of coal which
she would be entitled to receive if dependent
upon steam aloue; and no coal shall be agsin
supplied to any such ship o(-war or privateer,
in tbe same or any other port, harbor, road
stead or waters of the United States, without
speoial permission, until after the expiration of
three months from tho time when such coal may
have been la«t supplied to her within the waters
of the United-States, nnjess such ship-of-war or
privateer shall, since last thus supplied, have
entered a European port of tbe government to
which she belongs.
In testimony' whereof I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affix-d.

Construction of the No Election Bill.
, Tbe following is Governor Bullock’s message
to the Seuate, asking for a construction of the
B.11 ol Fraud:
Executive Department. )
Atlanta, October 11, 187a >
7o the Senate :
I have invited the cansiduration of yonr hon
orable body, in Executive Session, that I may
be advised in regard to a matter of Very consid
erable impoitaace in relation to tbe proper c>>n-
Kuncuon of oue of the seonons of the bill en
titled “An act to provide for au election, and to
alter and amend the laws in relation to the hold
up of elections,” which was approved on the
third instant.
Tne question of construction aiises upon
that portion of tbe 4 h section, wbioa rela cs
to the appointment of commissioners by the
Ordinary. The language is as tallows:
Tt shall be the duty of the Governor of the
State, by and with , the advioe and consent of
the Senate,,as soon after the pa*.-age of this act
us po.sbible to appoint three, and the Ordinary
of each ooutny two, fit and proper per-ona of
intelligence and moral worth,” etc., n o.
It was uiy opini.iu, upon reading tbe set, that
i s provi-iou* roquned that the persons to be
appointed by the O.cknary should 1st Mil j ct to
the u.ivtce and consent of tho S-rnate, eqnafty
Wi h ttjoOo Who were to I*.? a. pointed t>\ ti.’o
Governor. Id f .ct, ihe liii t. v.H n.,t torn sug
gest itself that it was possible .for th* Jaw-ma
kers to huvo intended to confer arbitrary au
thority upon the Ordinary of a county which
was. in the same aot, withheld from the Ext-cu-
tive of the Stale. The language of the section
seems to be clear, both directly and by impli
cation, that “by and with tbe consent of the
Senate,” the Governor is to appoint three, and
the Ordinary of eaoh county two, “fit and
proper persons of intelligence and moral worth
for eaoh election precioot established At the
county oonrt-bouse,” etc., and it was in this
opiniou that my approval was given to the act.
In fact, very grave doubt exist as to whether an
election under this law, held either in whole or
in part by appointees who have not been con
firmed by the Senate would be valid.
I have been informed, aDd I believe that the
of concurrence of the Seuate to the amendment
the Honse, whereby two of tbe Commissioners
were to be appointed by the Ordinary, wonld
not have been given, had it been understood
that these appointee* by. the Ordinary were to
be arbitrary, and independent of the oonenr-
renoe and consent of Senate. But some dis-
ctumion having beenindulged in, and opinions of
donbt, as to the proper construction of tha
section referred to having been expressed, by
gentlemen whose judgment is worthy of con
sideration, I have, with the desire that twqnw
may occur in connection with the proposed
election which ean, in any manner, refleet
donbt upon the validity and fairness, or to
impair its efficiency, deemed it best to invito
the opinion of the Senate as ro the proper con
struction oft the section of the aot, which is to
be enforced by the concurrent action of your
nAflAMMA Krwlw end •
honorable body and myself.

A bad state of affairs exists in the vicinity of
Tnskegee Alabama. At a Radical convention
there on Monday last, the negroes created much
confusion and great bitterness of feeling by their
disgraceful conduct. The meeting broke up,
however, bofore blood was shed, but later in
tho night, says a correspondent, writing to the
Montgomery Advertiser, the community was
startled by rapid nnd continuous dischatgta of
fire arms in the direction of Z:oa Church, snu-
attd in the suburbs of the town Tho fi'iog
* as continued for some time and seemed to in
dica'e the progress of a regular battle. Citizens
of the town and officem of the law repaired
immediately to the church and were horrified
by the spectacle there exhibited.
One negro wasfonnd dead, another mortally
wounded, and two or three others paibfnllv but
not dangeronsly wounded. Tbe floor and the
seats in the oharch were in many places bespat
tered with blood, and everything indicated a
most deadly attack. A coroner’s inquest was
held npon the body of tbe dead freedman, and
the following facta elicited : There was at the
time of the shooting a meeting in progress,
which was called for the purpose of disposing
of some questions connected with the govern
ment of the church. The doors and windows
were closed, and the meeting was qnieily pro
ceeding with it* business, wht-n sndd-nly aloud
no'.se was heard on the outside, accompanied by
cursing and swearing. The door of the church
was opened, snd immediately a body of ten ora
dozen men commenced to fire, into tne church.
The members of the meetiug sought to m*ke
their escape by the windows und doors, and in
doing so were fired npon by the attacking party.
As soon as the church was closed the persons
from whom tbe firing had proceeded mounted
-horses and moles, and rapidly left,the town,
taking the Montgomery road. Facts whiob have
come to light seem to point to the conclusion
tbat the firing at the chnroh was done by friends
of the defeated candidates for the Radical nom
ination.
Many-of them came to town on horse,
back, and It ft, late in the evening in squads, all
of them badly dissatisfied, and gtv.ng expression
to feeling* of anger and hatred Toe Radicals
have been accustomed to bold, their meetings at
Zion church and it was supposed there would
bu a meeting thorn 1.-st night, us a sequel to
that held at the Court-hoa*e daring the day.
Oq Sunday lost, a* Kit McGehee, a young
whtteman, was returning to hi* home, four or
five miles southeast of this place, he was fired
upon und dang^ront-ly wounded by a party of
three or four negroes, who hitd stationed them
selves on the road Mr. McG snoceeded in
fiiiDg his repeater two or three times at the
parties after be was shot, and thinks he must
have wounded one t more of them. Mr. Me-
Gebee has been living with Mr. Weathers, who
was attacked some time ago and forced to fire
from hi- house by a party of three negroes,
headed by tbe notorions Wash Howard. These
negroes succeeded in making their escape from
the county jail, and have for several weeks been
prowling in this vicinity committing at inter
vals larcenies and sets of violence. It is be
lieved that. McGehee whs shot by this tame
baud. He had nearly reached the residence of
Mr. Weathers, and ic is supposed the negroes
mistook him for Weathers, against whom they
seem to harbor a special feeling of animosity.
The Story oft* French Freemason-
How his l.ile was Saved.
From the London. Times 1
This present war has been prolifio in illustra
tions of the value of Freemasonry in dangerous
emergencies, and the anecdotes are endless ot
the lives saved by its means. Among the cart
loads of wounded of both aides which arrived
from Sedan were two men whose consideration
for each other was so marked as to occasion in
quiry They wore the Prussian and the French
uuifurm, respectively, and though neither oonld
nuderatund a word of the others language they
shared their rations, and Beemed to be inter
changing bignal* of amity all day long. Their
story was a very simple one. The Prussian,
who is an officer, and a man of 35 or so, with a
stern, grave faoe, and a heavy overhanging
moustache, had met the Frenchman, who is at
least a dozen years his junior, on tbe battlefield,
tbe latter being supported by a couple of com
rades.
Twice did the wave of the oonfiict bring these
men in oontaot, and on the last occasion , the
Prussian, who was bimsrlf badly wounded iu
the chest, pressed the young Fienchman bard,
aud had indeed his sword uplifted to administer
the coup do grace, when the latter, who was
faint from the. loss of blood, made a habty sign
to his victor, which caused the latter to stay
hi* hand. Patley was impossible, both from
the exigencies of language and tbe turmoil of
battle; and beside*, both men lost consciousness
and fell at each other’s side. It turned out
that the young Frenchman had been made a
Freemason a few months before the outbreak
of the war, and that he had instinctively made
the stgu by means of which members of tbe fra-
terni y are taught to ask their brethren for help.
The Prus-iian was an old Mason, who recognized
it instantly, and who as instinctively paused,
and before there was time for consideration
both men fainted away. When consciousness
was restored they found themselves side by
side, and with tbe dead and dying ronnd them.
By a strange coincidence, their wounds were
such tbat each oonld give the other some slight
relief, and the late enemies employed their
weary boars, in whioh they lay disabled and.
untended, in rendering little kindnesses to each
other, and in thus cementing the friendship
which bad begun so straugely. When help
came, they petitioned to be permitted to keep
together, telling their story with considerable
effusiveness to the dootor, who after some time
came to them on the field. This gentleman,
who was not a military surgeon, but a member
of the blessed society which dates from Geneva,
raised bis hands in pleased astonishment at the
tale be heard, and at onoe showed himself to be
a Freemason too; so that three brethren of the
roy tic tie were to be seen wonderiug over the
strange chance whioh had thrown them to
gether.
The wounded men are supremely satisfied at
the resu t, and their story has given them quite
a celebrity among their iellow-snfferers. At
Igos, wuere the French prisoner were placed af
ter the cspiiulam n of tsid-n, and where, it is
but too true, they were ail but starviug, some
of their numbers contrived to make it known
to their captors tbat tbey were Masons, and
thongh this was ineffectual in many instanoes,
the murdy and uninitiated Prussian* laughing
the Masonia gestures to scorn, wherever it suc
ceeded the men obtained little comforts which
were priceless. A stoat trooper was seen hand-
ing a warm frieze ooat to one prisoner, and giv
ing put of his rations to another; and explained,
.hi*^ conduct to an inquirer with a sheepish
smi e. wbioh spoke volumes, “They are my
brother-, though I have fought with theta, and
they are imugry and cold, and must be helped.
They would ao it for.-, me.” These are mere
typical oases But i'. is impossible to mix rnuoh
witti the troops, particularly afier a baite.
without beurtug of kindred instances of Mu-
sonio list full es*.
Another Post Office Difficulty.—An ihd g-
nant dfcteg«te to the loceut R.dical Nominating
Conveuttou, who had m cuiod the ill will of the
proeeat Postmaster, Giift, by bis action at the
convention on Wednesday last, oame out of
Clift’s office yesterday morning shaking with
excitement and expressing his opinions rather
freely toward that individual, who is snppposed
to bandle tbe mails in his own department and
tbe mails in the Republican party.
From what .we could hear and learn, an alter
cation took place in Clift’s office, when the o»l
ered delegate was ejected therefrom. He came
ont swearing that carpet-baggers were done for
in Georgia, and tbat if the blue-epeotaoled mon
key dared to show his fix outside he'd make
sausage meat of him in a short time. There
will be no blood shed, and we oan only suggest
that Screven’s Ferry is but a short distance
across the river.—Savannah Jfetos.
Thb effort to force negro equality on the peo
ple ot Ohio has been commenced at Cnmmins-
ville, by the school board of that plaoe. The
board adopted resolution* on the 80th nit to
admit colored children to tho public schools.
This action produced quite an excitement on
the 3d inst, when a number of negro children
made their appearance and demanded admit
tance. Two of the teaohera left that day, and
on the 4th several whit* children picked np
their book* and marched ont when the negro
children made their appearanoe, and the prin
cipal report* that the attendance on the 4th wan
only about half aa large a* on the 30th nil, and
expresses the fear that worse will come if
the order ia persisted in. The Cincinnati
Commercial says: “Quite a number of Re
publican* ahara in the general disgest at the ac
tion of the board.”

me to request your Excellency to put km(L

In my interview with M. F-vro the -iuutia
of the condition of peace was not formaljo*
aidered. At bis repeated request I ccmam
cited to the French Mini*ter, in genunlot*
lilies, the same views which formed the pha*
pal topic of the circular dated Meanr, SmT

which we seek in territorial connection, imfl*
a reduction of the French territory equal io |J
increases through Savoy and Nice, the pnptt.
tion of which provinces obtained from Itiljn
about three- quarters of a million.
When it is considered that France, uert
ing to the census of 1866, numbered 38 000,091
inhabitants without Algiers, and wth Alpts
now famishing an esaential part of tb« Freed
wsr forces, 42,000.000, it iB palpable that i k-

nothing in the importance of France k tgiirt

whereof in the Oriental snd Italian war »
abled it to exercise so decisive an influence a

suffice to successfully oppose the logicof eras
to tbe exaggeration of the proclamation of lb
