The Greorgia Weekly Telegraph, and. Journal Messenger, Telegraph and Messenger. \TAOOtt- MAROH 23, 1871. From Fatnam County. Pntnam Superior Court was openod on last Tuesday, Hon. P. B. Bobinson, presiding. Be sides tho local bar, Judge Harris and CoL Mc- Kaily, of Milledgeville; Judge Beese, of Colum bus; Billups, of Madison; Judgo Stephens, of Sparta; CoL Bartlett, CoL Preston, Col. Fleming Jordan, Solicitor General, of Monticello; were in attendance. Two cases of homicide will probably be tried. State vs. S. S. Snther, new trial; and State vs. N. Gorley. Not much other business of importance. The planters of Putnam aro investing in a prudent way in guano. Expect to raise pro visions enough, and cotton to a smaller extent, for which they look for low prices. Whilst not elated, thns we were glad to find they are not so depressed, bat that they are ready “to pick their flints and try it again.” They deserve success, and we hope will have it. The new schedulo on the branch road from Gordan suits the people admirably, as far as they express an opinion. The citizens of Monticello, since the change, we learn are moving at Washington for a daily mail fromEatonton. We hope they will get it. We thank onr friends in Putnam for the interest they manifest in the Telegraph & Messenger, and their cordial and universal en dorsement of its policy. Congress. The situation in Congress is pecnliar. The Senate has adopted, by a vote of 31 to 18, Mr. Anthony’s resolution, declaring that for the re mainder of thp session it will consider three subjects only: 1. The Deficiency Appropria tion bill. 2. Tho concurrent resolution for Joint Ku-klux Investigating Committee. 3. A Ku-klux bill to be reported by the Senate Judi clary Committee. Yesterday the morning was consumed in a debate upon this restrictive res olution, Mr. Trumbull declaring that it excluded even the question-of adjournment. Meanwhile tho House, having passed one resolution to ad journ, ia waiting on the Senate. The Senate Judiciary Committee say they cannot agree on Ku-klux bill, and if they could, it is doubtful whether the House would take it up. The House is doing nothing and tho Senate is doing worse. “Unwisdom.”—Tho political complications of the day are breeding new words. The dissatis fied Badicals berate the “unwisdom” of Grant in tho Domingo scheme—the quarrel with Sum ner—the Ku-klux legislation, and so on. Now, the English is a plain lauguage. The dictionary don’t admit of “unwisdom,” but antagonizes wisdom by foUy— stupidity—ignorance—and other decidedly uncomplimentary noun substan tives. Perhaps our friends, the dismantled might relieve their own feelings and, at the same time, save the other side a mortal blow, by compromising upon ‘^njudiciousness;” but as to unwisdom, there is no such word in tho tongue. Streets Free.—Our local department under took to poke some fun at the colored parade in Macon on Wednesday, but we don’t exactly comprehend why. We understand it was a turnout of somo benevolent associations, and certainly the procession looked -well and be haved well. The streets are as free to the.ne- groos as to-the whites, upon the equal and com mon condition of good behavior; and although some years ago the freedmen overdid the busi ness of parades and drumming, yet their mod eration in these particulars now deserves com mendation and courtesy. Sewing Machine Sales tor 1870.—From the sworn returns made to the owners of the valu able sewing machine patents, it appears Hint the sales of the Singer Manufacturing Com pany, for the year 1870, are over jtorty xbou- sand in excess of those of 1869, which were 86, 781, and they claim the sale during 1870 of over forty-four thousand more machines than that of any other company. Their “New Fivtt.v Machine.” would seem to be as great a favorite for family sewing as their manufacturing chine has long been for manufacturing pur poses.—New York Evening Post. Southern Pacoto Railroad.—We have re ceived an elegant engraving, giving the route of this line, and a large and accurate view of tho bay of San Diego—its Pacific terminus. Tho drawing is made from official measure- ments, by Ool. Williamson, Professor of Engi neering in the Virginia Military Institute, and its correctness is endorsed by Capt. John M. Brooks, late -0. S. Navy. Tho recent grant by Congress of seventeen motions of acres to this road, makes this map and sketch, with its accompanying information (including a recent and valuable letter of Com. Maury) a timely and interesting publication. It can ba obtained of tho “College Book store,” Lexington, Virginia. Price, 25 cents. That gentle lamb-like creature, Anna E. Dickinson, now proposes.^ horsewhipping for a minister. She proposes {fiao to go with the man who is equal to that tosk.t® the nearest justioe of the peace. Bat the pa$y to be whipped weighs 198 pounds—was formerly a blacksmith, and lives In Chicago, which .his name is Collier —a good job to let oat. “Wlien will There be Peace In the Sonth 7” This plaintive inquiry heads an editorial dis course in the New York Times of Monday, de signed to show that there can be no peace as long as there is a Democratic party in existence to act as the defenders and apologists of “tho rebels.” The Times and Tribune are playing a heavy Ku-Klux programme to see what can be done with it on the Connecticut election. If the Times were here in Georgia, and in a mood for innooent mirth, his own inquiry would furnish the material. Peace in Georgia? church yard coold not be more quiet; and hap py will the State be if it shall be able to main tain perpetually a peace as profound as now ex ists in every part of Georgia, with which wo aro familiar. But we agree with the Times, neverthless, that never will there be peace in Georgia or any where else in the Sonth upon the Badical show ing of the condition, bo long as it is essential to represent a reign of “Democratic Bebel vio lence.” Bntlerwaa quite right in refusing to be chairman of any committee which should collect evidence on the spot. He was unwilling to trust his own senses, and insisted on ex parte affiants in Washington. He did not want to see peace and quiet, if it existed here. He preferred to look through carpet-bag and negro testimony in Washington. By it ho could es tablish any state of violence required by the necessities of the political condition. He him self declared that if he went Sonth he would see nothing bnt peace, and peace was not what he was looking for. It was the last thing he wanted to see. If he had seen it, and been compelled to say so in his report, it would be only a hypocritical show,' got np by the rebels for the emergency. He would know that they were fresh with dripping hands from outrages which they had intermitted just because “Pica yune Butler was coming to town.” Now the fact that the great Ku-klux leader of the House Bhould gravely make a statement of this character ought to open the eyes of the Badical party, if they want them opened. What bettor place to investigate alleged outrages than the scene of their occurrence? and how would it be possible to conceal them? But the trnth is the last thing any of them want. We believe the conntry has come to under stand this, and therefore the formidable indict ment, in course of preparation, will fall upon dull ears and make no sensation. There never can be peace in the Sonth on the Badical show ing, nntil it ceases to bo the interest of the party to represent a state of war. When they shall discover that enlisting carpet-baggers and negroes in a war upon the Southern people has ceased to be a good party operation, then the Times will find his question answered—then “there will be peace in the South.” Can’t Feed tne People. That is an unhappy idea of .the Paris popu lace, although unfortunately a very old one, that the Government must furnish employment and food for the people. (See dispatches.) Happily, in the United States, this notion is re stricted to comparatively few families, mostly those with “high moral ideas;” while the great multitude of the people concede'that the func tion of government is to collect internal revo- nne ont of them. To this high mission, in the Sonth, is added the duty of sustaining the car pet-baggers—running reconstruction commit tees—taking negro testimony against the whites and inverting generally the contents of the so cial and political pot, besides annexing Do mingo. The people, at large, in both.sections, rest contentedly upon the conviction that they have got to feed the government and feed it well, too, besides famishing the very best brands for drinking and smoking. At the last State dinner in the White Honse, it is admiringly stated by the Jenkins of Forney’s Press, that there were nine kinds of still wine on the table, besides plenty of the effervescent with green seals, gold seals, silver seals, and all sorts of seals. This shows hew much bettor we understand “Bepub- Iicanism” in America than they do in France. The employment expected by .the masses here from the government is limited chiefly to open ing bottles and making the government loyal and comfortable; and as for onr wages, with a few fortunate exceptions, we collect them from motherearthby the draft of ahoe handle. Those in better luck do it by a protective tariff. But the French don’t understand that usage. They think a Bepublican Government which cannot famish potorhonse steak, hot coffee and rolls to the people is a dead failure. It is no bettor than a monarchy. The last reports seem to justify the idea that Thires’ government would come out of the kinks after alL The best way, perhaps, of fighting that insurrection would be to invito it to dinner. The ‘ ‘Mobiles,'” we See, are offering to fight it, bnt the gong for good hot dinner would be more potent than the roar of hostile cannon. Georgia’s Opportunity. A Versailles correspondent of the World writes as follows, in a recent letter concerning the future of the inhabitants of those portions of French territory recently annexed to Prussia by force of arms. It strikes ns that now, and here, is Georgia’s opportunity to increase her population by ac cessions from a very desirable class of immi grants. Most of theso people who thus demon strate their fixed determination not to live un der the yoke of the conqueror, would make just such citizens 03 the South needs—being thrifty, intelligent and possessed ef some means. No where in all Europe dwells a harder working, more forehanded laboring class, than in Als&ce and the parts of Lorraine annexed by the Prus sians. They are just the people wo want down here, and we should rejoice to welcome them all to Georgia. Western land-owners, it will be seen, are already at work to take advantage of the exodus, but tee are idle as usual. Why should not Georgia land-owners have an agent among them, too ? Georgia will suit them bet ter, in every respect, than the West, and it is our belief that by proper effort and representa tions, a largo portion of them can be secured for Georgia. Says the correspondent: Emigration from tho ceded provinoes is ex peotod to be large this yoar, and it will be pro moted both by the dissatisfaction of the inhabi tants and by the German authorities. Organ ized efforts are already in progress to encourage their removal to certain of the far Western States. It may well be doubted whether people accustomed to living entirely in villages will bo able to work themselves to frontier life. Some of the old States could effer almost, if not quite equal, inducements to the stxangers, who would sooner feel at home in established communities. The sturdy, frugal Alsatians would psove such valuable accessions to the population,- 'that it is worth the while of the Southerner^ in Georgia to give them an invitation. fi-tu- THE GEORGIA PRESS. / ■ Major-General Woodford is to lecture on “Sheridan’s celebrated ride.” It Is said to be very interesting. Sheridan, it will he remem bered, was the only officer in the Army who oonld go to tho front faster than Woodford could get to the rear.—World. Pretty Neab a Win with the Darkies.— Upon the matter of the President’s Kn-klux war with the Hay tien negroes, the World says: It is a fact, we are reliably informed, that the Eighth United States Intently, numbering near ly if not quite one thousand men, have been held in readiness at Governor’s Island, in this harbor, ever since the Santo Domingo Commis sion left, to proceed at once to that island in the event the Commissioners should telegraph that Cabral resisted their movements, or in the event that Hayti should undertake to interfere with Baez while tho Commissioners were at the island. Such a demonstration would have pre cipitated the .United States into a war with some one or more formidable powers, who would not silently have witnessed a great nation coercing a weak one for the sole purpose of ter ritorial acquisition. • LoaiN top tee The Tribune Washington correspondent telegraphs that pa per March 19th: o Many observant politicians express the opin ion that Gen. John A. Logan will be the most formidable competitor Gen. Grant will have for the Presidential nomination next year. A strong movement in Gen. Logan’s behalf is said to be organizing in the West, and to be rapidly ex tending throughout the country. The semi- politioal soldiers’ organization, known as “The Grand Amy of the Republic,” which has its “•jnobes in every village of the North, and of is Oommsnder.in-Chief, for- nuoleus of this movement, and gives strength and organization at th„ .t.3 ™ K the namsa of all the female rwIdentTwere , the voting list; but on the day of awo “f® appeared to deposit her bffi h2i- theybeen denied the privilege, there would nave been an outcry against man’s tyranny; but its just like Paddy s pig: If you want them to go «no way, persuade them that you’re try ing to lead them phe other way. *** At East! The telegrams, yesterday, told us that that incorruptible patriot and paragon of public and private virtue, John W. Forney, has at last been rewarded by his Badical masters for his long and arduous services in their behalf.' The post of Collector of Customs at Philadelphia—a fat * one with no end of jnioy, toothsome pickings, such as Forney loves—has been offered him by Grant, and judging him by his past history, he will not refuse it. We have notioed of late a growing *nd suspicious disposition on the part of Forney in his novapspsr, the Press, to ignore Grant and his numerous jobs—Santo Domingo, and ‘ ‘Southern outrages,” notably—and we knew he was playing a game. Grant needed all the help he could muster inside his party to make these jobs even respeotable In Badioal eyes, and Forney saw his strait and held his tongue. Grant got scared and thought Fomey had for saken him for good. He also knew what sort of argument most easily moved Forney, and slap dash he went at him with this fat offioe. Now we shall see the Press fairly flame with eloquent bursts against Sumner; with the most tropical declamation in tavor of annexing tho Domingo negroes,; and the most harrowing, hair-lifting appeals againat.the Ku-klux and their innocent victims, the smoke-hued trooly loil of the Sonth. Forney’s ooavictions and Forney’s pocket are once mere in aoaord; and now we shall see Fomey’s pen proclaim thajhappy faot. The Connecticut Election Takes place on the 1st Monday in April next All Radicalism in Washington, Philadelphia and New York is arming for the contest. The committees are imploring every body to “go home to vote,” and doubtless more men of “high moral ideas” will have a “home” in Connecti cut about that time than were ever heard of be fore. The faot is if Connecticut follows suit af ter New Hampshire the moral effect will be dis couraging in the highest degree, and if hard work, heavy contributions and much colonizing can prevent it, it is not going to be done. Con necticut has been balanoing between parties for the last four or five years. In 1886 the State gave English, Demoerat, for Governor, 1764. This was at the spring election. In the follow ing fall, Gen. Grant, for President, earned the State by 2936 majority. In 1869, Jewell, Re- gtjblican, had 411 majority. In 1870-the tables were again reversed, and English, Democrat, was elected by 848 majority. It will thus be seen that the State is very close, and that a few hundred votes haye generally decided the result. Hi the Forty-first Congress the delegation of Connecticut consisted of three Republicans and one Democrat, the majorities being respective ly 736, 424, 2399 aqd l jefi. 8 P Seeley and Cliff, late of tho Savannah post- office, have carpet bagged to Florida.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Work ingmen’s Mutual Loan Association, atSavannah, TitotWay night, 1510,000 were sold at prices ranging from 31] to 32] cents premium.

Jingled Out op Tune.—A white man named Bell was in the city yesterday, hunting for “Judge” Bryant, as he called him, to file a complaint against the Columbia county Kn-KIux for whipping him on Sunday night. He did not attribute his castigation, however, to political differences, bnt to the fact that he did not work to suit his employers. That is all we heard of the circumstance. A Queer Kitten.—A cat belonging to Mr. William McLaughlin, gave birth to a queer look ing animal in ihe shape of a kitten, on last Sun day. The kitten has a very largo head, upon which are two faces, each plainly and distinctly formed. One of them has eyes, nose and mouth perfect, the other ha3 nose and eyes equally plain, bnt the month is a trifle indistinct. The two faces are very close together, so close that tho left eye of one and the right eye of the other seem at first to have united, though a closer ex amination would show that such is not the case.

On this subject the Sun of the 20th has the following; Mr. Greeley has published in the Tribune several official letters proving that President Grant has threatened war against Hayti in case the Government of that repnblio should take any hostile action toward the present ruler of San Domingo. Mr. Greeley thinks that this revelation is startling, and so it is. Without any authority of law whatever, Grant has ordered onr naval forces in the West Indies to take part in the civil war that has long been nging in San Domingo; and now it appears that he has taken the initiatory steps toward making war upon Hayti also on the same ac count. All this Is downright usurpation, and it mer its nothing bnt impeachment. For these acts of lawless war-making, Grant should be brought to trial and turned ont of his offioe. As the Evening Post says: “The acts of war which he has authorized are suoh that if it should seem fit to the House of Representatives to impeach him at the bar of the Senate for vio lation of the Constitution he swore to respect, he would find 0 difficult to make a defence. , The storm centre, Wednesday evening in Illi nois, was this morning on Lake Ontario, and is i .-r- , „ . . ui Uiu Ukuonu i ragmen us ui face, i HOW in the valley Of the St. Lawrenoe in Can- J and'the Court held^that hn wan naSmnad needled and appliqued to one another on the a da.
