General Lee an<I the (J. H. Senate.
It was certainly with no reasonable hope of
benefiting the family of General Lee that Sen
ator McCroery, of Kentucky, introduced a res
olution into the Senato, on Tuesday, looking to
the restoration of the Arlington estate and the
removal of the Federal cemetery located thero.
The movement was very ill-timed and ill-con-
tillered, if really intended to accomplish any
iach result. But if it was designed to bring
the mover into prominence—to shake the red
flag of this g'adiator ih tbei fade of ihe Radical
bull, and to provoke a thorough disgorgement
of sectional spleen oh the reputation and mem
ory of the great Southern Captain—the end was
folly accomplished. a«>*4 ‘ i-J
It U quite truo Loo w.ll suffer nothing in the
enlightened opinion of mankind from tiro d<y
nncciations of such men as Edmunds, Sumner,
Horton, Nyp, Scott, Sawyer, and Flanagan.
Uany thousand pages of just such blatant stuff
ai they uttered on Taesday, have been spoken,
printed, read and forgotten, and yet wo doubt
whethor there are very many intelligent men,
even among their constituencies, who do not be-
lievo that General Lee was a great anil good
man—a valiant, patriotic and sagneions soldier
—a man who made duty and principle his polar
tiar and steered his course by bis own honest
convicrions, with a pious fervor—a simplicity,
tingle mindedness, rectitude and unselfishness
very rare to bo foand among the sons of men.
We have not a doubt that this is the judg
ment of the mass of tho American people to
day; and this impression will grow and slrength-
ed with the lapse of time, 03 tbe animosities of
war die away, and the country comes to a bet
ter understanding of tbe complex, political, so
cial and industrial questions underlying the
great sectional controversy which terminated in
the subjugation of the Southern States by their
more powerful sisters.
Bat while we thus console ourselves that no
actual harm has been done to the illnstrions
aubjoct of all this obloquy, it is equally certain
that no good has been accomplished—that the
movement was nntimely and abortive—‘that it
only inf nriated the radicals and probably delayed
tho measure of restitution—and that it ban
hardly fail to inflame the keen sense of wrong
and insult already deeply rankling in the South
ern breast. ' Ji * :I I’J' *‘PB.
It is not the abstract propriety of any asser
tion,or measure, or principle which-altogether
determines action in the uiind of any sensible
or practical statesman. There must also be a
fitness‘in the instrflmentality^-the time and
the occasion. The man who, without adequate
preparation in nil the details essential to suc
cess, blunders forth with. his propositions, al
ways defeats the end he proposes—arms bis
own foes—confuses his friends and is more mis
chievous than an enemy. He is as vexations
as any green hand in a banting party who in
sists npon popping off his gun at any time on
his own independent motioD, without the small
est regard to the roles of the chase—the dispo
sition of tho huntsmen or the location of tho
quarry. In all associated movements of every
kind there must be an individual accomodation
to tho common object, and a selfish and egotis
tical partizan endangers the general success
more than an open foe. We trust Senator
McCreory meant well enough by this move
ment, but it was singularly ill-jndged and has
resulted simply in a shocking amonnt of dirty
blackguardism in the Senate which we hope
will provoke the quiet disgust of sensible men
all over the country.
The true policy for planters is to purchase
chemicals and manipulate their own fertilizers.
It is very ensy and simple—two hands can pre
pare a ton in one hoar. Save the lot manure,
mix it with dry swamp earth, or other rioh top
earth, and add the bones, ammonia, soda, pot
ash, 6tc., and you have an exoellent fertilizer at
a cheap price. L. W. Hunt Se Go., druggists
on Cherry street, will famish chemicals, bones,
etc., and directions for manipulating. See the
letter below from a gentleman, a successful
planter, who used it the past season:

articles to make it. Respectfully.

Affray is Wilkes.—From a gentleman who
arrived in this city yesterday evening via the
down train on the Georgia railroad, information
was received of a difficulty which occurred in
Washington, Wilkes county, on last Saturday.
It seems that the Radical nominees for Congress
in this district—Beard and Fannin—were ex
pected to speak in Washington that day, and a
large crowd of negroes had assembled in the
village. Before the speaking a quarrel took
place between a negro and a white man, which
terminated in the negro" drawing a pistol and
firing. Somo of the whites then fired in return
and one negro was killed and one morta.ly
wounded. We suppose that farther particulars
wit] show that the first accoantof the fracas has
been much exaggerated.

Fellow-Citizens md Gentlemen of the City
Council:
I would bo false to you, and false to myself,
if, in assuming the Mayor’s, chair of the city of
MacoD, I should, fail or refuse to give some
public expression cf my feelings towards those
who. have so kindly and unanimously placed-me
in that position. For, although silence is some
times regarded as tho most convincing evidence
of the- deep end powerful emotions of the
heart, yet to be such on IhW occasion might
argue a want of proper appreciation of the
honor conferred, and I therefore tender to you,
Hon. p. H. Hill has published in tho Chron- without regard to party or color, my honest and
heartfelt acknowledgment for this the crowning
evidence of your confidence and esteem. Stand
ing before you to-night tho unpledged and un
biased representative of the people—tho tool
of no man, the exponent of no party—I elrim
for myself the right of total exemption from
any and all partisan nils or political inaitoeaver-
ing. In securing rhy election I fcavo employed
no bribes, subsidized tio' bar-rooms, nor traf
ficked in human honor, in any way. I have
truckled to no man, stooped to no trickery,
pandered to no prejudice, toadied to to influ
ence, And thus, natrammeled, I hope to be ;
enabled to serve yon justly, fairly and impar
tially. If I fail in the attempt it shall bo from
a sheer want of the ability to execute, and not
the disposition or effort to succeed.
1 Presuming' upon no false ideas of official
authority, arrogating to myself no powers from
mere position’s cake, I purpose at all time to
advise freely and frankly with the good business
men of the city touching all matters of interest
to the same.
POLICY OF ADSONISIBATION.
As to the plans and policy of my future ad
ministration, all must depend npon the condi
tion in whioh the city and its finances may be
turned over to the new Board of Aldermen.
Much doubt and speculation have beenindulged
in by the carious outsido both cs to the extent
of tho city debt, and its ability to meet all
maturing obligations. To quiet all clamor, as
well as to avoid all further misapprehension on
this acd other points, I propose at an early day
to place before tho public, through the hands
of my finance -committee, a full, clear exhibit
of the city and its finances,', together with such
recommendations as that committee may regard
wise and j udicious in the premises. This much
has been deemed necessary, not'with'any view
to the expose of neglect or inefficiency hereto
fore, but as an set of simple justice to the
retiring as well os to the incoming administra
tion. ‘‘ : ! . J *
,/ : i* 7 'i wxATibx. ** '
■ Judging from tiie reputed floating debt, and
the unpaid. interest now pressing upon the
•Treasurer, it is only too apparent to the casual
observer, that the property holders and busi
ness men of tho city of Macon have soon to
make a choice between ^henvy taxation, rigid
economy and downright bankruptcy. For what
ever may or may not bo the burden or extent
cf the city debt; if the revenue arising from
its taxation and other resources fails, to-meet
Us contingent debts and maturing obligations,
the conclusion is easily arrived at that some
thing must be. done. And whilo I do not believe
that the present rate of taxation on real estate
can or should ha increased, yet I do 6nggest
that some means be adopted by which a more
liberal and equitable adjustment of valuation
can be placed npon much of the property now
owned or controlled by men in the city of
Macon who have never yet learned to under
stand or appreciate its real value or worth.
The only evidence wo have of their true esti
mate on the same is in ihe exorbitant rents so
uniformly charged. This difficulty may be
overcome by the appointment of a city assessor.
. • . oris CUBBXKCY. H •- •Si
The present city circulating, medium, has
become, to sgreat extent, objectionable, and
in many instances -positively inconvenient and
onavailable m'the ordinary transaction of busi
ness affairs. It is regarded by many es the
best of sound policy to retire it . My. approval
Will be given this plan, and the speeiaLatten-
tion Of Ihe finance ooremittee 'Is called to this
matter.-^ 4. • edt txter » f ^ n ..
Ctl —: l, , o* ; A THE STnEETS.. , f/,
The present system of worldpg .the streets
may, in. my judgment, be greatly improved on,
both by an increase and a dirision of .tha pres
ent working forces employed,- as well *s by a
mora thorough, -plan, of finishing up ti^e im
provements which axe. inade. A false economy
is so economy at all. And if by the employ
ment of a regular City Surveyor, whoso duty it
shall be to pass npon all grading and other
work done, we can lessen the expense and facil
itate operations, let ns by no means neglect the
experiment. It maybe found props* and ex
pedient to abolish the present system entirely.
THE POLICE..;-
There is a popular, clamor for a thorough
reorganization of the city police force. But
that the present number (twenty-four) can. be
I reduced with any thing like safety in the face of
Tbe Specie Movement in Bnffalo.
We had, a few day ago, a telegram from Buf
falo announcing that tha National Board ^ of incoming holidays • and approaching eleo-
Trade in that city, had passed tho following
resolutions: . .
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Board
tho best interests of the country imperatively
demand the restoration of a specie standard of
value, at the earliest possible period.
This, it seems, was done in the faee of stren
uous opposition from leading bankers—among
them Mr. Opdyke and Mr. Chittenden, of New
Fork. Mr. Opdyke said he thought we ehould
let well aloDe, and not precipitate a movement
whioh would destroy, for a lime, tha prosperity
of Ihe country.
Mr. Chittenden said that the time had passed
for Congress to do anything to hasten the re
sumption of specie payment. It shonld have
boon done at the close of tho war when gold
was 120. The people of the country would not
listen to contraction now, though we probably
had more paper money than was necessary,
Ho was in favor of letting the subject alone.
Obviously enough, tho time is very unfavor
able for putting the currency of the country on
a metalio basis. In the present unsettled state
of European polilios, any month of the year
may sea a great volume of American securities
returned to thi3 country, and our stock of spe
cie reduced to a very low ebb. • <
lions, I very much doubt. Those now retained
or hereafter employed by me, may expect more
arduous and active dnties to perform than per
haps have heretofore been required of them;
and they must rely solely on their general good
conduct, uniform neatness of person, together
I with a quick and close application (o duty, for
tho security of their position at all times. If
necessary to increase their efficiency, higher
wages must he paid to secure better material
in some cases, and more life and activity in
others. I will not, under any circumstances,
tolerate or excuse, drunkenness or laziness in
any form. ' And in order that I may be folly
understood on this point, I will state for the
benefit of those now interested, that £ can see
no reason why a city policeman should riot ap
pear as neat as any other man on the street he
patrols. .It costs no more to wear a clean shirt,
a neat cap, and a polished pair of boots, than
it does to luxuriate in the slouched hat, the
dirty shirt, and the neglected calf skin. And
if a young man, with seventy-five dollars a
month, can’t afford to impress the publio with
at least an air of respectability and good taste,
he ought to have the modesty and good sense
lOjield Ins position to one who cam ' I shaU
* .•--* *. i£.i
Much—yes, Ifear too much—will bo expected
of you ; and the greatest folly you can commit
will be the sfily attempt to please everybody.
In conclusion, I will "say that the young gen
tlemen of Macon have placed me under obliga
tions vjiich I feel can never bo canceled or re
moved ; and all, and tho most that I can say to
you now is, in the future you have but to com
mand me.
The colored people of the entire city have
rallied to my support/with a will and unanimity
scarcely equaled in the history of partisan is
sues. To serve you hereafter in every way
honorable and consistent with my office, will
be no less a pleasure than duty on my part.
Yon-have confided your trast, and I will not be
tray it.
The peculiar gratification of being placed in
a position for ouce in my life where I can afford
to forget the weakness of my enemies in re
membering the great strength of my friends is
now mine; and thi3 happiness is only rendered
complete from the consciousness of knowing,
as I do, that while the former fonght me with a
Zenl akin to desperation, tho latter came to my
defence with a determination as gallant as it
was sincere and complimontaTy.
With a deep, full sense of all the obligations
imposed, and trusting tc the AUwiso Rnler of
tbe universe for our guidance and direction in
all affairs of tho city, I now pronouuce the new
Council organized and ready for business.
Daring the delivery of his inaugural, tho new
Mayor was frequently interrupted by applause
from tho large crowd outside the railing. May
or Huff, then announced that the Council should
elect a Mayor pro tem., and it proceeded to bal
lot for thnl officer. On counting the ballots,
Hon. G. B. Roberts was declared elected. The
Mayor then called for an election for Marshal
pro tem, and Mr. Jame3 Martin was the unani
mous choice of the Council. The usual com
mittees were appointed, and on motion of Al
derman Clay, the Council adjourned till Tues
day night next at 7j o’clock.
