MACON, MARCH 7, 1871.
Trie Rebel Programme.
Under this head the Tribune, of Wednesday,
copies from an Alignsta paper the following ex
tract from a speech lately delivered in that city
by Hon. Linton Stephons:
“Bnt snpposo Frank Blair comes to me with
the New York Democratic platform of 1868,
which declares that all these carpet-bag govern
ments in the South are usurpations—ini I tell
you, my friends, that we lose the fight in 1868,
not by standing np to that platform, bnt by
backing down from it; for if Seymonr had
planted himself npon it as firmly as Blair did,
we should not have been defeated as we were—
suppose, I say, that Blair and his party come to
me and say, “We still stand by that platform.
We still say that these governments in the South
are revolutionary usurpations ; toe still say that
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are
null android; and we still say that the bayo
nets should be withdrawn, and the Southern
States restored to their rightful position.”
What answer would I make? I would say, “I
join yon—sink or swim, live or die, survive or
perish, I will unite myself to yon with bonds
which no power on earth can sever or destroy."
The only use I have for a party is that it may
defend my rights; and, unless it can do that, I
shall have nothing to do with it. The party
which I have just spoken of will defend my
rights, and this is the party which I shall join.
Don’t say that I am rash. I am not rash. But
I believe that men can recognize facts when pre
sented plainly to their view, and I tell yon tho
Northern States will quickly see—that they do
see now the danger—that their very existence
is threatened by tho usurpations which I have
mentioned, and they will be qnick to accede to
onr terms. This is my platform, and it should
be the platform of tho entire South.”
Upon which declarations tho Tribnne thus
comments:
The above is the platform of tboso whom Mr.
Stephens eulogizes as “Conservatives” and
friends of “Constitutional Liberty.” They mean
to nullify tho 14th and 15th amendments, dis
franchise the Blacks, and remand them into vir
tual serfdom. And that is just tho issue where
on we shall bo happy to meet them in 1872.
Exactly. We have no doubt the Tribune’s
party would willingly make a present of one
million, yes five million dollars to the National
Democratic Convention that wonld adopt Mr.
Stephens’ platform in 1872. They could well
afford it, for such a blander on tho part of the
Democracy would inevitably result in a sweep
ing Radical victory. Let the Democrats repeat
the stnpidity of 1868, and we are just as sure
of their defeat as we ore that they will not be
guilty of any such folly. Mr. Greely will not have
tho pleasure of meeting the friends of “Con
stitutional Liberty” on any such issue. We make
that prediction without tho least hesitation.
So far a3 we are concerned, we propose to let
die Northern Democracy fix tho platform and
define the issues to suit themselves, and—if nec
essary to seenro the grand consummation of a
Radical defeat—name the candidates to boot.
What we desiro first and foremost, is the ejec
tion from power of the Radical party. We pro
pose to subordinate all other issues to that, first,
and wo beliove a large majority of the Southern
people are of the same mind.
Georgia Press Association.
The Secretary of the Georgia Press Associa
tion writes ns that at last ho has printed and
mailed to each press in the State, a copy of the
Constitution and proceedings at Atlanta, Macon
and Savannah. This constitution provides that
the Association shall meet annually on the 2d
Wednesday ip May and November. The Asso
ciation, being still in an inchoate condition, ad-
iournod at Savannah, (see page 21) subject to a
call from the President One of the Secretaries
. Mr. Willingham) writes ns suggesting a call
for a meeting at Augusta, at the constitutional
time—2d Wednesday in May next 'What say
the press ? Will they unite in the Association,
which now consists of only nineteen members
who have complied with the conditions? Do
they agree on this place? Will they attend?
Let ns hear from them.
The Striking Miners. — The Philadelphia
Ledger, who has carefully investigated the sub
ject, says the Lehigh miners when they struck,
January 10,1871, were earning from $4 43 to
$5 50 per day. Work was stopped by order of
their “Grand Connell’’ in Philadelphia, mnch
against tho will of the miners, who are now in
great want, while the funds of the Grand Coun
cil have given oat. How laboring men can
tolerate the enormous tyranny of such a union,
is past oil understanding. Any government at
tempting to practice it would break up in revo
lution at once.
At a recent Washington reception, says Donn
Piatt, “the Administration reposed on a sofa,
and smoked and drank as only the Administra
tion can. The Treasury, the Interior, the Navy
and tho State Departments came and went at
intervals. They had a natural anxiety touch
ing the condition of tho Administration. I can
not say that tho Departments drank mnch er
smoked at all. My venerable Sordino looked
liko a retired Irish bntler, Delano as if ho had
just recovered from a fit of tho agac, and Boat-
well as if he had tho toothache.”
Butleb's Asn Kv Klux Bill—Missed be
ing taken np under a motion to suspend the
rules by a vote of 127 to 65—lacking one of the
necessary two-thirds, whereupon, says the
World, “The wrath with which Bntler slammed
down his desk lid, throw tho bill nnder his
table, and left the hall, was good to see.”
Butler’s bill provided for the appointment of a
Commissioner in every county, who should
practically supersede all State Courts in the
trial of causes where negroes were interested,
and was intended, liko tho enforcement act, to
sell out the liberty and property of tho whites
to whomsoever might bo willing to buy negro
testimony against them.
A “Poletioal Murder.”—The Griffin Star of
yesterday, characterizes tho recont killing of
Colonel Geo. W. Fish, at Oglethorpe, a3 above.
Will the editor of that paper give ns the proof
of this assertion ? Certainly nothing has come
oat as yet, that we have heard of, to give color
to any snch slander. Men who profess to be
Democrats should be more careful in their state
ments—unless, indeed, they desire to reinforce
the howling pack of libellers who are singing
this stale song at Atlanta and Washington city.
Miss Pobteb's school at Farmington, Conn.,
not only teaches its young ladies Frcnoh and

of them were on top of the Farmington stago in
Hartford, the other day, when the horses ran
away, and one of them coolly got down npon
the driver’s box, canght np the lines and soon
had the animals nnder control.
Some carpet-baggers in Texas, taking up a
paper, were alarmed by a lot of hieroglyphics
which they decided meant Ku-KInx, and, think
ing their lives in danger, left town. They are
relieved to loam that they were frightened away
by advertisements of cattle-brands.
“Dbuskabd, Stop! The most confirmed case

reads a huge placard posted by somo disloyal

Gossip with tbe Planters.
The cotton men are scared well-nigh out of
their boots. They have passed the four million
bridge, and begin to talk about the possibilities
that the crop will run np to forty-two, forty-
three, forty-four and forty-five hundred thou
sand bales. They scont at all idea of any fall
ing off in production, and say the crop will move
onward and upward, in spite of fate, until it is
a mere drug, worth fourpence in Liverpool for
strict middling and two pence for common dog-
tail.
In an approximation to harmony with this
conclusion, it was to be observed in our yester
day’s edition that contracts for delivery in New
York in January, 1872, were freely made at
fourteen cents, which wonld allow about eleven
cents for the market price in Georgia, and pro-
dent planters should not fix their anticipations
above eleven cents for the product of the next
crop. We do not say they will not get more,
but we do say it will not do to bet npon, and
wear out your land, capital and time upon.
It is true we have all seen cotton panics many
times before, and know that they are just as
unreasonable as other panics; bnt the terrible
advance in production made in 1870, say of
million bales over that of 1869, and more than
two million bales over that of 1866, shows that
the productive capacity of the Southern States
is well nigh inimitable; and although we may
growl at prices and swear that bine rain stares
ns in the face, yet almost any price will serve
practically as a stimulus to production. Hence
every bnsiness man dismisses the idea that the
product is going to fall off nnder any circumstan
ces,andlooks npon an absolute glut of the market
as certain as any fntnre event can be.
They laugh at all representations and argu
ments of the press showing the folly of over
production, and at all tho resolutions and mani
festoes of agricultural clubs to prevent it, and
say tho moro of those tho more cotton will bo
made, because every planter will say the crop
is going to be short this year, and now is the
time for mo to make my pile. Hence they say
that 1872 will show a bigger yield than was ever
known before. And what scares the specula
tors almost as much as the number of the bales
is their size. The talk is, (whether true or nob
we can’t tell, and believe the talkers to bo in
tho same condition,) that the bales are fifty
pounds heavier, on an average, than they used
to be, so that the number by no means oonveys
a just idea of tho vast increase in the cotton
prodnot.
These facts, ideas, and apprehensions, it
seems to ns, are worthy the serious considera
tion «f planters in making their arrangements
for the next crop. It is by no means true that
we are shut up to cotton as the only article af
fording the possibility of a profitable agriculture,
or that in fact cotton represents necessarily the
most valnable crop of the State. The censns of
1860 made the corn crop of Georgia about thirty-
one millions of bushels, which at present prices
would exceed in value the whole cotton yield;
and if we were to add rice, wheat, rye, oats,
barley, potatoes, sugar, syrup, tobacco, live
stock, poultry, peas, fruit, hay, eta, King Cot
ton wonld make no over shadowing presence in
the grand snm total.
The total value of agricultural products in
Georgia in 1850 was $4G,GSG,151, of which cot
ton (consisting of 499,091 bales of 400 pounds
each) represented a value of probably about
$16,000,000. Now let ns take a glance at the
situation in 1860. In that year the ccnsns
showed to our credit 701,840 bales of cotton
worth, let ns say for a liberal estimate, $28,000,-
000. That is a large sum, bnt not overshadow
ing by a long ways. Let ns see what else Geor
gia produced: wheat, 2,544,913 bushels; corn,
30,776,293 bushels; oats, 1,231,817 bnshels;
peas, 1,765,214 bnshols; sweet potatoes, 6,508,-
541 bnshels; wool, 946,227 pounds; rice, 52,-
507,652pounds; tobacco, 919,318 pounds; su
gar, 1,167,000 pounds; syrup, 546,749 gallons;
hogs, 2,036,116 in nnmber; value of live stock,
$38,372,734; value of animals slaughtered the
year before, $10,707,204. And besides these
tho list shows many other articles of smaller
individual but groat aggregate value. Thus we
see that Georgia agriculture is not altogether
bound np in cotton.
It is true that the most of tho articles which
we have offset against cotton were consumed at
Jiome. They were not sold for a price in the
Georgia market and the proceeds transferred to
the West for the same articles in kind, accord
ing to the method of this decade. Bnt if they
had been, they wonld have represented a value
to ns increased by the addition of exchange,
commissions, freight and charges. Why a man
should value a product less becanso it is
not raised for sale, when he is otherwise
forced to pay moro money for tho same thing,
is not explicable by any sound philosophy.
When wo raised thirty-one million bushels of
corn we did not raise enough. The writer paid
three dollars a bushel for corn during a part
of that time. Is not corn at present prices a good
crop? But you are far from market. That i3 only
another reason why yon should raise enough of i
to fatten hogs and make bacon, which now costs
more per pound than the cotton yon raise. Why
haul cotton to market merely to haul bacon
home ? Poultry, too, is an elegant crop. Chil
dren will grow fat npon them, and they are now
retailing in market at twenty-five to thirty cents
a pound, or one pound of chicken for two pounds
of cotton.
In a word, all food crops are good in Georgia
and probably never will bo otherwise. We have a
million and a half of months to feed, and are
positively importing most of the food required
for them. To do this we are compelled to pay
prices in the West which subsist farmers there
who have to give at least thirty dollars a month
wages for hands, and then we pay freight fo>
one thousand miles or more of transportation.
Oh, shamoful waste! What wonder is it that
we are poor; and how can wo ever be otherwise
while we pnrsne this fatnons course 1 And yet,
in order to do it, we cram tho markets with
cotton so as to cut down the prico of that article
below cost of production. Can folly go further?
The Darien Ship Canal. _
The new route of the proposed Bhip canal
across the Isthmus of Darien, recently discov
ered by the expedition nnder Commander Self
ridge, opens at each end into deep, capacious
and seenro harbors. The whole distance from
the month of the Atento River, emptying into
the Gulf of Darien on the Atlantic side, and the
month of the Tuyra, emptying into the Golf of
San Miguel on the Pacifio side, will not exceed
125 miles, and the extent to be excavated is
about fifty miles. The lowest point of elevation
yet discovered is about 300 feet above the sea-
level, and about 200 feet above the river levels;
bnt it is thought a lower point of depression
will bo found. The whole route can be accom
plished without lockage, and it is supposed at
about half tho cost of tho Suez Canal, while the
bnsiness will bo more than doable. The dis
tance saved in a California and Pacifio voyage
by this canal will be about seven thousand
miles, some of which—for example, that around
Cape Horn—is the most perilous navigation in
this world. As the pass between Hayti and Cnba
is in the direct line of a route from the Northern
Atlantio ports to this canal, if the practicability
of the ship canal is ascertained,not San Domingo
merely, bnt the Haytiens will have to go up.
That whole extensive negro establishment of
Hayti and San Domingo must forsooth give
plaoe to the “ necessities of trade.”
The Power or Lying. <•_ -
The New fork Tribune correspondent at
Washington telegraphs that paper of last Tues
day as follows:
Letters received here recently from Alabama,
by the Hon. C. W. Buckley give a gloomy ac
count of affairs in the section from whioh they
are written. One of the most respected citizens,
County Superintendent of Education, and him
self a native of the State, writes appealingly for
protective legislation from Congress, ana says
among other things, that “since the State Gov
ernment of. Alabama has gone into the hands of
the Democracy, ‘K.-K.’ outrages become more
frequent than before.. They have driven the
Judge away, and have frequently been seen
riding in this county. 'When I retire each night
I kiss my wife and children with the fear that I
shall be assassinated before the dawn of another
day.” In a letter of a later date, the same gen
tleman says: “ I write again to say that I ■
be compelled to leave my home from fear of as
sassination. • • The Ku-KInx have declared
if I do not leave they will kill me.”
The Tribnne omitted to add the postscript to
the letter to Bnckley, whioh was as follows:
“P. S.—I open this letter a second time to tell
you that the murderous Ku-Kluxhave, at last,
verified their threats. I was shot through the
heart last night with fifty rifle balls from as
many men in masks, and my body, notwith
standing the tears and entreaties of my frantic
wife, thrown npon a dunghill, and this in so-
called Christian America. How long, O Lord,
how long! As, althongh County Superinten
dent of Education, I can’t write myself, this
sad account is forwarded to yon through the
kindness of a loyal neighbor, who, if hi3 name
were known, wonld meet with a similar fate.
My body lie3 festering amid the garbage of a
deserted negro quarter, bnt my sonl’s a march
ing on and dropped this letter in the postoflice
on the way. These facts can be established by
a thousand affidavits, if necessary, aa they can
readily be had for a chew of tobacco apiece.”

Tlie Sine Is Dead—Lons Live tbe
King!
In good old ante-bellum times, when a Con
gress of the United States expired at 12 o’clook
midnight of the 3d of March, “the people had
rest.” There was no more Congress till next
winter, saving and accepting that the Senate re
mained over when a new'President had been
inaugurated, to act in executive session to con
firm nominations. Bnt these times are post,
and we may say with the crest fallen Mantilini
at the Mangle, it is now one demnition horrid
grind all the time. An old Congress is now no
sooner turned off than a newono comes on, and
no interval is left the people to breathe them
selves and count np their losses.
This is on the principle of monarchical govern
ments, wherein the majestio spirit of sovereign
ty is supposed to allow no time at all for a flight
from a dead corpse to a living habitation; and
the proclamation “the King is dead long live
the King,” is not permitted to have so mnoh as
a comma between the sentences, to indicate the
lapse of time.
Now the Congress of the United States claims
to be sovereign in America, and hence no time
mnst lapse, when there is not a Congress fall
fledged in all the magnificence of a variegated
plumage of white, black, yellow and molasses
color, to lord it over tho people. 'What would
become of Georgia, for example, if half a day
should elapse between the time when she left
the protection of Jeff Long and entered nnder
the aegis of the immortal Tom Speer! It
wouldn’t begin to do, yon see. Nothing wonld
be safe. And so about Blodgett. Leaving the
medical superintendence of Dr. Miller, wo want
to enter at once under the financial care of Fos
ter Blodgett; and if Blodgett is not on tho spot
to “look after the funds” somebody else will
steal them; which wonld be a loss to Blodgett.
On tbe whole, we might as well reconcile
ourselves to the change since it will exist any
how. The 41st Congress will be immortal for
its bold defiance of law and its reckless assaults
upon tbe liberties of the States and the people.
In its hands the Constitution of the United
States, even as they have patched it, has not
had the authority of a last years’ almanao.
The 42d Congress will be bridled somewhat
by a large Democratic minority and by the grow
ing sensitiveness of the people. Bnt not until
the people shall fairly aronse and shake them
selves, and shake these usurpers till their teeth
clatter, and shake them ont of Congress and
pnt Democrats in can we expect mnch besides
fliig endless, dreary, senseless clatter about the
rights of negroes, and those audacious assanlts
on tbe publio liberties and the rights of white
men.
Tbe Alabama Gold Life Insurance
Company.
A circular from this Company to policy hold
ers, contains some interesting facts. This Com
pany wa3 organized late in the fall of 1868, to
do bnsiness on an exclusively gold basis, which
it has steadily maintained. On the 30th of No
vember last it had 1059 policies in force, insur
ing to the amonnt of $3,533,000, and it had
gold assets amounting to $415,56142, and by
valuation-of policies in force mado by D. Parks
Fackler, Esq., the Company’s actuary in New
York, its reserves at that date, that is to say,
the amonnt necessary to insure all outstanding
risks, and hence the amonnt necessary to its
absolute solvency and safety, amounted in the
aggregate to $135,410. This displayed a visi
ble surplus and seenrity, over and above liabil
ities, of $280,251 42 in gold. On that day the
Company had paid ont as losses 22,000 in gold,
and has added since that time to its assets an
average monthly stipend of $25,000 in gold-
Since that time it has paid ont in losses $5000,
and been advised of $11,000in additional losses,
and it numbered on the 1st of February last
1626 policies, and shows eachmonth a steady in
crease of cash and risks. Mr. Fackler, its
Northern Aotoary, and wholly disinterested,
writes the Company, Officially, the highest com
pliments upon its condition and management,
and particularly on its great good fortune in the
matter of losses. This is the more remarkable
as during tbe alarming yellow fever epidemie
in Mobile, last fall, although tho Company pur
sued its usual course, kept opon doors and de
clined no fair risk, it suffered only two losses,
amounting to $7500. The circular contends, on
the authority of Dr. Nott, that Mobile, since its
foundation, has shown a smaller rate of mortal
ity than the City of Boston.
This company is to now fast marching on the
gigantic in its proportions, bnsiness and capital.
It has ceased to be an experiment It has de
monstrated the capacity of Southern men to
bnild np institutions which, in point of solid
prosperity, cannot be excelled in any portion of
tho world. The Company is now preparing to
declare a dividend to policy holders whose third
annual premium falls due on and after Jane 1,

company in Macon, and Dr. W. F. Holt, Medi-
oal Examiner. R.-(7. Tueker, Esq., is super
intendent of agencies in Georgia, with office at

Damning with Paint Praise.—Tilton’s new
paper, the Golden Age, made its appearance
last Tuesday. Defining his position in respeot
to the administration, Tilton says:
Is there any good reason for an outbreak of
hostility against the Government? We know of
none. It is as hard to be the enemy as it is to
be tho friend of the present Administration.
To praise it, wonld be unwarrantable; to blame
it, wonld be unfair. President Grant's gov
ernment is too good to be bad, and too bad to
be good. So, for the present, tho least said,
either for or against it, the better.
Yet Tilton has a long editorial eulogy on Col
fax, who is the- cypher of the concern. The

bridge suddenly gave way and the remainder of
the train went down. We presume the cars were

negro, was instantly killed. We have heard of
no other injury to life or limb. The locality of
the disaster was near Chehaw, some forty miles

Tho Americas Republican of Thursday, give
the following additional particulars of the kill
ing of CoL George W. Fish, at Oglethorpe, last
Monday night:
Colonel Fish, returning from a trip to Savan
nah, had come down from Macon on Monday
night’s train, reaching Oglethorpe abont one
o’clock. Getting off at the depot of the latter
place, he gave bis bundle of books to a negro
man, named Jacob, and started walking home,
followed immediately by the servant. Proceed
ing towards his residence, he had reached the
heart of tho town, and was passing np tho left
sidewalk along side of the Conrt-Honse, when
a gun was fired at him from the doer of this
building, opening immediately on the street,
the shot taking effect in the left side of the face
and neck and inflicting a most ghastly and gap
ing wound, from which Colonel Fish died at
once. He fell forward on his right side, ont
towards the outer edge of tho sidewalk, evident
ly never moving after ho touched the gronnd;
for his arms were lying the one easily by bis
side and the other on his breast, his satchel
near by jnst where it had slipped from his hand,
and his beaver on tbe sidewalk where it had
tumbled from his bead. His overcoat was but
toned np close to tbe chin, and nothing about
him had been disturbed in any way, althongh be
had on a gold watch, money abont his person and
other valuables, plainly showing that the lurking
assassin, who had fired tho fatal shot, sought not
spoils and profits, bnt hnman blood and human
life.
Tho servant was walking, according to his
own account, to tho left and a little in tho rear
of CoL Fish; and when the gnn fired, dodged
down, squatting and then turned and ran off
frightened. He at once woke np some gentle
men sleeping not far off, who found tho body
as above described, tho warm blood gushing
profusely from the severed arteries, and the last
faint breath flattering on his dying lips.
Thos. P. Lloyd, Esq., Solicitor General of the
Southwestern Circuit, and Jno. D. Carter, Esq.,
District Attorney of tho Court of which Col.
Fish was Judge, wero in Oglethorpe yesterday
to represent the State in the preliminary trial
of a negro, named Henry Stubbs, who has been
arrested and is charged with this crime. It
seems that Henry confesses to have been at the
Conrt-honse the night of the mnrder. On his
shoe-heels were iron taps, and tbe right one
makes a peculiar track. Tins track was discov
ered leading from another door of the Court
house, made by a party evidently running, was
followed, measured and identified as Henry’s,
and, indeed, admitted by him to be veritably
his own. The case against him rests thus far
npon this circumstantial evidence. The gun
wads were found near the body and buckshot
were ent ont of tho shade trees near by, bnt
no gnn was found in Henry’s possession. Very
grave suspicion points to a well known white man
as the instigator of the deed, and for whom a
warrant has been taken ont.
The case will be thoroughly investigated on
Friday, to-morrow; a continuance having been
granted the prosecution by Magistrates Jones
and Hamilton, before whom it is proposed to

The Sun, of Thursday, has the following re
sume of the number and business of the various
manufacturing establishments in Columbus:
At the three faotories in and near Columbus,
about 29,000 cotton and woolen spindles are In
operation. They employ abont 800 persons,
and consume some seventeen bales of . cotton
per day. Direotly and indirectly these estab
lishments give support to at least 2,500 persons.
In addition to those mentioned, there is one
mill, famished with 2,500 spindles, which is not
in operation.
The Colnmbns Hosiery Manufactory is now
manufacturing 120 purs of stockings per hour.
It employs twenty hands. It will be greatly

We find the following notice'of the late Bish
op Jas. O. Andrew, who died at Mobile last
Thursday, in the Colnmbns Son, of Friday:
James Osgood Andrew was bom in Elbert
County, Ga., in 1793—hence, he was seventy-
eight years old at the time of his death. He
commenced preaching when he was eighteen
years of age, and entered the ministry in the
South Carolina Conference, wMch then em
braced Georgia and Alabama, in 1813, at the
age of twenty. The now venerable Dr. L.
Fierce was then Presiding Elder, and recom
mended the young licentiate for the ministry.
Dr. Pierce was eight years the elder. The de
ceased Christian was ordained Bishop in 1832.
In 1844, after the division of the Northern and
Southern Methodists, he was.continued Bishop
of the Church South, and has been Senior Bish
op since that date. His place of residence was
Snmmerfield, Ala.
An action of his led to the division of the
Methodist Church. He married a lady who
owned slaves. At a session of the Conference
in New York, Bishop Andrew was requested to
resign by many of the Northern ministers on
this account. The Southern men deeming the
request an insult to them, submitted a propo
sition for a Christian parting and division of
property, which was acoepted. The separation
was effected. A year elapsed and it was
found the North wanted all the property.
Suit was commenced by the South for her
share, and both the Courts below and the Su
preme Court of the United States decided in
favor of the Southern churoh. It was at this
time Henrv Clay, a warm friend of Bishop
Andrew, remarked with a spirit of prophesy,
that the Northern fanaticism of that church was
tho entering wedge to the dissolution of the
Union.
■ The Southern ministers mot in Louisville, Ky.,
in May 1845, and established the church South
as distinct from that of tho North. Bishop
Andrew presided over the Conference.
The Thomaston Herald says Captain John I.
Hall, of that place, while purchasing a ticket

"Wo clip the following from tho HawMnsville
Dispatch, of yesterday:
Suicide or Mb. Hiram Cobb, or Dooly.—
Last week we chronicled the death of Mr. Irvin
Brown, wMch occurred nnder singular circum
stances, and over whose body an inquest was
held, bnt the jnry, after hearing the evidence
of two witnesses, rendered a verdict that tfie
deceased came to his death from an unknown
cause. One of these witnesses testified that
Mr. Brown, on being conveyed to his home, said
that the night previons he and Hiram Cobb had
a fight. Notwithstanding he lived two or three
days after that, ho made no farther remark
npon the subject. Tho witnesses contradicted
each other, Mr. Cobb was examined, and his
statement was that he and Mr. Brown were to
gether the night tho accident happened, and
had been drinking together, but if he had a
fight with Mr. Brown and cat Mm he did not
know it.
Mr. Cobb was accordingly released and re
turned home, and now we have the shocking
intelligence that he has committed suicide.
What prompted him to commit the deed no one
knows.
Mr. Cobb was a young man—perhaps twenty-
oight years of age—unmarried and the only
liviDg son of his aged parents, whose long and
peaceful lives have been thus shadowed with
gloom and sorrow.

tho following address to the people of Georgia:
Executive Department, )

Atlanta, Ga., March 2,1871. )
To the People of Georgia : The following
communication from a Committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce in- the city of Now York, in
viting aid for the suffering population of France,
has been received, and is respectfully presented
to tho people of this State with tho confident
belief that immediate action will be taken by
the several communities and municipalities
within onr borders to organize snch measures
of relief as it may be in their power to extend.
I wonld respectfully suggest that a general
committee of relief be organized, at Savannah,
with wMch local committees throughout the
State may correspond, and through wMch con
tributions of seeds, provisions, cotton or money
may be forwarded directly from Savannah to
either of the ports of France, or through the
committee organized in New York. Let ns give
freely as we may be able to give, remembering
with thankfnlness the liberal contributions of
provisions that were distributed among our
People immediately after the cessation of the
iostilities which had left us in the same condi
tion that now excites the sympathy of the whole
world for the suffering people of France.
Newspapers throughout the State wMch ap
prove of tMa charity, will please give publicity
to the subjeot. Respectfully.
Rufus B. Bullock.
Appended to this communication is an offi
cial appeal to the Governor from the New York
Chamber of Commerce, enclosing a general ap
peal to the people of the United States. The
Chamber of Commerce asks for food for the
starving population of France, and contribu
tions of money, and in seeds to be sown for
spring and snmmer crops. They ask for prompt
action and say that althongh a hundred thousand
dollars have been collected! very mnch more is
needed to extend even partial relief to the
French people. ___
Georgia A flairs in Washington—The
Carpet-Baggers and Seallawags
Trembling.
Under the above head, the Savannah Repub
lican, of Friday, prints the following special
dispatch from Washington City, dated Maroh
2d:
Indications point to an entirely now deal in
the cards relating to Georgia politics.
L Deveaux, negro, and Virgil Hillyer are here
in the' interest of Collector Robb, of the port of
Savannah. One Colonel McDonald has been
sent for to increase the strength of the delega
tion, and is momentarily expected. They are
making an effort to secure the retention of
Robb, whose seat is tottering nnder the infla>
ence of Atkins, Fannin and others, who are
seeking the position. There have been no spe
cial efforts made for the removal of Robb, bnt
it is known that his influence at the “White
House,” with the Secretary of the Treasury,
and with prominent Senators, has been mnch
weakened by opposing and aspiring candidates
for the position.
Captain Robert Clark has been appointed as
sessor of the first Georgia district (whioh in-
dndea Savannah), vice C. T. Watson, removed.
J. E. Bryant and Bowles are working hard
for tbe SupervisorsMp of Internal Revenue for
Georgia and Florida, bnt with little chance of
success, as Kryzanowski has the inside track
Rumors of change in the marshalsMp of the
Distriotof Georgia are current, and there are
several aspiring candidates for that position.
J. Clarke Swayze is after the colleotorehip of
internal revenae made vacant by the promotion
of Morrill to a position on the State Road nn
der the lease.
Bond is Bharp after the assessorship for the
second district of Georgia, and Caldwell is hot
after the postmastersMp dt- Macon.
The following Georgians (?) are here, all on
political business, and working hard:
Collector Fannin, of Augusta; Atkins, of At
lanta ; Robert Clarke, of Macon; Krvzauow-
eki, of Savannah; Osgood, of Savannah; De
veaux, of Savannah; Virgil Hillyer, H. P. Far
row, Foster Blodgett, Brooks and Dz. Clift.
The report is current here of a duel between
Osgood and Clift, and, as neither of them have
been seen this morning, it is supposed there is
some truth in the report.

Family DifMenltle* oi tbe Emperor
•f Germany*
A corespondent of the London Daily News,
at Versailles, communicates some of tho things
he beard there:
The old King, it appears, Is by no means
happy as an Emperor. He was only persuaded
to accept this title for the sake of his son, “Onr
Fritz,” and he goes about much like some
English squire of long descent who has been
indnoed to allow himself to be converted into a
bran new peer, over persuaded by his ambitions
progeny. William is one of that; numerous
class of persons endowed with more heart than
brains. Patting aside, or regarding rather as
the delusion of a diseased brain, his notion that
he is an instrument of heaven, and that he is
boro to role over Prussian souls by right divine,
the old man is by no means a bad specimen of
good-natured, well-meaning, narrow-minded
soldier; and between Bismarck and Moltke, ho
has, of late, had by no means an easy time,
These two worthies, instead of being, as we im
agined in Paris, the best of friends, abominate
each other. Daring the Biege, Moltke would
not allow Bismarck to have a seat at any oouncil
of war; and, in order to return the compliment,
Bismarok lias not allowed Moltke to take any
part in the negotiations respecting the armis
tice, exoept on the points wMch were exclusively
military. Bismarck tells tho French that, had it
not been for him, Paris wonl^bave been utterly
destroyed, while Moltke grumbles because it
has not been destroyed—an achievement wMoh
this talented captain somewhat singularly im
agines would fittingly crown his military career.
Bnt this is not the only domestio jar wMoh
destroys the harmony of the happy German
family at Versailles. In Prussia it has been the
habit from time immeorial for the heir to
the throne to coquette with the liberals, and to
be supposed to entertain progressive opinions.
The Crown Prinoe pursues this hereditary pol
icy of his family. He has surrounded himaelf
with intelligent men hostile to the present state
of things, and who understand that, in the pres*
ent age, no country can be great and powerful
where all who are not country gentlemen, cham
berlains or officers are excluded from all share
in its government. Bismarck, on tbe other
hand, is the representative, or rather the busi
ness man, of the squirearchy and of thevons;
much in the same way as Mr. Disraeli is of the
conservatives in England. As both are men of
genius, they, in all probability, both despise
their own friends, and scoff at their prejudices,
a pretended belief in wMch has served them as
a stepping-stone to power. The consequence
of this divergency of opinion is that Bismarck
and “Onr Frits” are very nearly what school-,
boys call “cuts,” and consequently, when the"
old King dies, Bismarck’s power will die with
him, unless he is wise enough to withdraw be
forehand from public life. “Our Fritz," I hear,
has done his best to prevent the Prussian bat
teries from doing any serious damage to Paris,
and has not concealed from his friends that he
considers that the bombardment was, in the
words of Fonche, worse than a a crime—an
error.
Tbe Santo Domingo Purchase.
Washington Correspondence N. Y. Tribnne.)
The opinion prevails among Senators that the
Santo Domingo purchase will not be brought up
until after the adjournment of Congress, and
that an extra executive session of the Senate
will be called by the President to act npon the
treaty. It is generally agreed that the annexa
tion can be fully completed without the oonsent
of the House, except the voting of the pur
chase money. The precedents all establish this,
except in the ease of Texas, which was annexed
by a joint resolution admitting' her as a State.
It does not appear that there has been any
change npon the question in either House.
The opponents of annexation profess to see no
reasons for changing their views in the fall in
formation respecting the island famished by
the newspaper correspondents, wMle the friends
of Santo Domingo are confirmed in their opin
ions by the facts thus given. Both parties are
already preparing their arguments, and the
prospects are that the contest over the report
of the Commissioners will be long and exciting.
Prominent Senators, who have heretofore ex-
hibited no partnership npon either side of the
question, say that it will be impossible to get a
two-thirds vote to ratify a treaty of' annexation,
whatever the report of the Commissioners may
be, and that the Senators who will oppose the
treaty, have fully made up their minds already,
and will place their opposition on the gronnd of
the inexpediency of annexing more contiguous
tropical territory. Tho Commissioners’ report
will, they say, convince no one who is not al
ready convinced.

to warrant this conclusion, and it is highly ia
probable that Colonel Fish was the predestined

and place:
Oglexhobpe, Ga., March l, 1871, .
You have heard of the brutal assassination or
onr fellow citizen, CoL Geo. W. Fish, and as Is
was well known to you it may not be uninta"
esting to you to say what I know abont tha roau
ter. CoL F. arrived home from Savannah at l
o'clock in tho night, and going from the depot
to Ms residence he had to pass our Conrt-hotat
and passing the comer and coming nearly op!
posite the first door fronting the side
(wMch my friend, CoL Hall, can explain to you)
the assassin being concealed inside the doo-
flred, and shot a load of buckshot into His hai,
killing him instantly, or in a few minutes. 0a
his arrival at the depot he met a colored maa of
his acquaintance whom he engaged to assist Ha
in carrying his baggage, and who was withhia
when he was shot, walking, as he says, a lev
paces behind him. The negro ran immediately
to the nearest store and awoke the clerks,
»ot to him jnst before he breathed his last, but
he was never heard to speak. There is no cir
cumstance connected with the affair that would
seem to implicate the negro with him. All be-
lieve him innocent.
It is a very mysterious as well as most sheet
ing tragedy. The community is mnch excited.
CoL Fish has had no recent difficulty or quarrel
with any one, and it is not known that any oae
had any particular grudge or animosity against
him.
There are many and various speculations and
conjectures among the citizens a3 to the cause
of the murder. Some seem to think his late
appointment to the Distriot Jndgship may have
had something to do with it, bnt I cannot see
how that could probably be, for the citizens
generally were satisfied with his appointment
I have never heard a man express dissatisfac
tion with it, and he was decidedly the best man
for the position of any who were applying for it
I know that the Democratic party were gene
rally well pleased with the appointment
Politically, CoL F. claimed to belong to
neither of the political parties, but was a con
servative man and called Mmself a conservative.
I was quite intimate with him, and say whit I
believe I know, when I say his sympathies were
with the Democratic party. For reasons of Hi
own he voted in 1868 for Gov. Bullock and tha
Constitution. He voted for Seymonr and Blair
for President and Vice-President, and in the
late election he did not vote.
Two persons have been arrested, a white nun
and a colored man, who will have a preliminary
trial on Friday, bnt the evidence, so far as I am
informed, is only circumstantial.
Clergymen and the Stage.
Editors Tdegraph. and Messenger: You have
mblished an extract from the card of Rev. Hr.
Jacon, of Baltimore, in reply to Dr. Bond, of
that city, who, without reviewing, had taicu
some notice of a sermon of the former on the

seem to be a minister of somewhat accommoda
