MACON, JUNE 13, 1371
Vlre*Gms in Clover.
At the elegant ana recherche supper, given
roeently by President Hazlehnrst to his Augusta
gnests and brother railroad magnates, it was
oar fortnne to bo placed next to an honest conn
toyman dad in home-made jeans, and guiltless
of collar or cravat. When tho banquet began,
and the magnificent tout ensemble of tho table,
blazing witji light and glass and brilliant flowers,
and groaning nnder every delicacy known to
Parisian gastronomists, burst upon his vision,
the effect was apparent upon onr rural friend.
Bending over, he inquired, “Well, do this
hotel feed this way all the time ?” Upon being
quietly informed that this was a special enter
tainment prepared for invited guests only, with
a chuckle, he exclaimed, by jingo, “then I am in
look. Bnt won’t they trouble mo ?”
Assured to the contrary, to business he pro
ceeded, and such a trencherman has seldom
graced the mahogany of the Brown House.—
Ham, chicken, bologna sausage, jellies,' ioe
cream, strawberries, pound cake, oranges, sugar
candy, nnts and coffee, all disappeared with
marvelous celerity. Boon the popping of oorks
and the merry gurgle of sparkling champagne
claimed his attention, and he wanted to know if
the “tipple was free too.” Satisfied on this
point also, after imbibing a few glasses, he al
lowed “thero would be some speechifying.—
Ain’t I right, stranger—but how long be they
going to keep it up.” We answered probably
not later than midnight. ‘"All right,’ quoth
Toney, “my train don’t start tell six o’clock,
and I can set here with the last man of ’em.”
Munching jelly cake and absorbing cham
paigns, he sat an attentive auditor to all of the
addresses, and when this deponent retired, was
just finishing off his repast with a huge dish of
spiced oysters.
Now, who was the happiest man, the railroad
President with his burden of honors and cares,
or tins simple country clod-hopper, who had
not a thought for the morrow, while enjoying,
with a relish foreign to the sated epicure, tho
choice viand3 spread forth in such profusion ?
We trow the latter.
New Books.
We have received two more works on the
Swedonborg creed, bnt must decline any criti
cal notices of them. Onr paper is notihe ad
vocate of aBy special scot or denomination, and
when a similar publication was recently handed
in it wa3 so stated, and the Writer refused to re
view it Upon the earnest solicitation of the
gentloman who presented it, and with the ex
press understanding that if commented upon
at all, it must be from the standpoint of an or
thodox believer, the book was, however, subse
quently noticed in these colamns in courteous
and proper terms. Contrary to agreement, tho
individual who bronght it then asked to be per
mitted to reply, thns lotting down the bars for
a polemical discussion of indefinite length, and
interesting to but few. Of course the proposi
tion was rejected, though tho request to pub
lish his views in the form of an advertisement
was granted. The gentleman afterwards ven-
tillated himself through the Citizen, and we beg
leave to refer him to tho same medium for the
further propagation of his doctrines. We are
are not to be seduced into any controversy of
that nature.
New Books.—Messrs. Brown & Co. send ns
an installment of new books for mention in this
issue.
First oomes “Antercs,” by the author of “Guy
Livingstone,” etc., one of the author’s charac
teristically brilliant and original stories that
will by no means pale the lustre won by his
other achievements in the same line.
“Married for Both Worlds," is the strange.
Utlo of a story which i3 from the'press of Lee
& Shephard, Boston. It Is the life of an actnal
person, and was suggested to the author by a
friend who had jnst finished reading Miss
Phelps’ “Gates Ajar.” We think it will prove
decidedly interesting in a quiet way.
“Handbook of the Administrations of the
United States,” i3 the title of the third volume,
also from the prca3 of Lee & Shephard, Boston.
It compromises a synoposis of the leading
events in American political history from the
inauguration of Washington down to the pres
ent day, and will prove valuable as a reference
book. ’
Thebe must be more harmony among the
Democracy if they hope to w‘n tho next Presi
dontial race. “Citizen” Eoosevelt want3 Jeff.
Davis banged, as he is more of a murderer than
Cole, more cruel than Mrs. Harris, more cow
ardly than Foster, and more deceitfnl than Mrs.
Fair. What will the Democratic Mrs. Grundy
of the South say to tte sanguinary Robert ?—
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The “Democratic Mrs. Grnndy of the South’
don’t know very much about “citizen” Roose
velt, except, that after tho manner of third and
fourth class New York city politicians he has
unexpectedly found himself in Congress by vir
tue of certain little arrangements with the chaps
who fix np tho primary “slates.” Bnt if she
knew ail about “citizen” Eoosevelt sho would
merely say: “Citizen," thy bray botrayeth thy
paternity.
Whax'Ci.tssz3 Thkeeih op Jep?zeson\—One
of tho Herald’s staff of reportorial ear-wigs
ha3 been down to Long Branch to bo presented
at Court, and after that ceremony was over,
proceeded to business as follows:
“While Jeff Davis is at large, Mr. President,
will it not be difficult to allay Southern disaf
fection ? Can ho not be arrested nnder the Ku-
klnx law?”
“Ho might bo imprisoned. Bnt what would
be the use ? It would Le like seizing a news
paper. It would only create sympathy for the
sufferer, and inflame passions, now happily dy
ing ont. Wo can’t affort to
■aims a inurra or jxtp.
He will find Ills own level in dae time, and the
Southern people will got tired of him. Besides,"
said the President, with a laugh, “Jeff is mak
ing all the country republican. Let him go;
he is a wasted candle and will make no fire.”
Matters in Lee County.
A reoent visit to Lee county enables 03 to re
port a very good showing for at leaat 25 cents
pound for cotton next fall—so far as the crop of
that oonnty is concerned. Up to Monday last,
it had rained ten days, and all the powers of
negro muscle seemed nnlikely to prevail against
the gathering fftxcea of General Grass, There
was universal oomplaint on'this score, and an
almost unanimous opinion that rain for the re
mainder of the week wonld settle the question
as to the greatest possible omonnt that bonld be
raised in the oonnty. Nobody seemed to expect
more than half a crop, in that event.
Those whose crops were clean previous to the
late, and still continuing, rains were compare
lively well off, and hoped by hard work to keep
ahead, bnt where the rain fonnd them sot yet
out of thOigrass, ft Is “good-bye, John." The
plant is small, of course, bnt, where it has had
bad any sort of a showing, looks healthy and
capable of great things, yet.
Corn is exceedingly promising and much
moro planted this, than last year. Opinions
vary as to the yield of oats. Many fields have
been badly damaged by rust, while others have
not been harmed to any great extent. Perhaps
the avorage judgment is favorable to a fair
crop. Two weeks ago the prospect for a very
fine yield was exceedingly promising. The dif
ferenoo between the small grain acreage of this
and that of last year, is about S3 per cent, in
favor of the former. Not one-tenth of the
commercial fertilizers used last year were pur
chased this. The people are practising econo
my in everything, and by next fall when they
got a $125 a bag for ootton will to la a condi
tion to hold on to some of the money, at least
Chbistuh G'lucible.—Eev. L. F. W. Andrews
has issued the prospectus of a new religious
journal, of this title, (he first number of which
will appear early in July. It is to he published
semi-monthly in this city, and will be devoted,
as the prospectus S3ys, to the support and de
fence of the Bible doctrines of the “final holi
ness and happiness of all men as understood and
expounded by Hosea Ballon. Terms $2 a year
in advance.
Social. Pabtt and ScpTeb.—We beg to thank
the Committee, Messrs. J. K. Porter, W. W.
Johnson and W. D. Johnson for an invitation to
attend a “social party and supper,” to be given
by Stonewall Fire Company, No. 2, of Griffin,
Woodruff’s Hall, to-night We regret not being
able, to put in an appearance, and wish the
Stonewall and all their guests a merry time.
Eably Hale Peaches.—We are under obliga
tions to Mr. E. T. Morton for 8 basket of this
delicious variety of peaches. Wo are sorry to
learn from him, however, that nnmbers are rot
ting and falling from the trees, and that tho ex-
co&ave tajn seems to have deprived them not
only or much of their juiciness, but of their
sweetness also.
Pbesidest GkAXt sayg, Bpeakiig of the Ca
bans-. “Time heals more wounds than medi
cine, and patience is a very good spociffe.” What
a pity the Southern whites are not Cubans. For
them he ha3 only bayonet legislation, and a ma-
hj|Mnt impatience that is a disgrace to oiviHaa-
Anarchical France.
The barricades which made a fortress of every
street and bonle vard of the capital have scarcely
been cleared away, and the city thrown open to
traffic, and the peaceful pursuits of life, ere we
see the Frenoh Assembly again made the theatre
of agitation and revolntion, and steps are taken
to investigate, the acts and administration of
President Thiers. Such proceedings axe usually
the rapid precursors of decisive, and perhaps
bloody hetion on the part of this volatile people.
Already, too, the scions of royalty are press
ing their claims to seats in the Assembly, and
who will be surprised, before the lapse of
month, to see the house of Orleans again invest
ed with the crown and soeptre, and the streets
ringing with the load acclaim of vice leroi.
In the meantime the astute ex-Emperor back-
cd, it may be, by the wily Bismarck and the
pleasant memories connected with his long and
glorions reign, will not remain a passive specta
tor of the seizure of tho hereditary rights and
dominions of the Prince Imperial. The new
royal regime, therefore, if snocessfcl, cannot
hope long to enjoy its new power and dignities
unmolested. If the forlorn refugee from For
tress Ham, and the impecunious adventurer
abroad, possessed tact and skill sufficient to
surmount the almost impregnable barriers
athwart his pathway to the imperial pnrple, suro-
ly the chances atpresent are infinitely more fav
orable for the resnmption of his lost prestige
and authority.
Wo arc free to confess, that in the judgment
of tho writer, the only hope for permanent peaoe
and tranquility to this distracted country, is
based npon the restoration of the Napoleonic dy
nasty. Let anarchy, misrule and bloodshed work
ont this sad mission, and an afflicted people will
sigh for the repose which the strong arm and
glittering bayonets of their Emperor once af
forded them.
A people unable to rule themselves' require
the protection and control of a master. Long
live Napoleon!
The Itniing Race at Washington and
“the Damned Yankee Contractors.”
It seems from the news, yesterday, that the
negroes at Washington City are s great deal
stronger than the new government lately set np
for the Territory of Columbia, and that they
are emphatically, now, the ruling race, there,
First they get np a strike because “the damned
Yankea contractors” won’t pay them .$2.50 a
day, when there are plenty of white men with
hungry wives and children who are only too
glad to work at $1.50 a day, and then when the.
d y c’s hire these wlnte men the negroes inter
rupt them, mob them and get up a riot, which
the Washington police knowing very well upon
which side their bread is battered, don’t sqaelch
with any great degree of vim—a white mob,
now, they know exactly how to handle—and
yesterday we read that the Governor of the
Territory had requested the. contractors to sus
pend work so that the gentle creatures who have
made all the disturbance may not have their
tender sensibilities shocked by seeing white
men taking bread ont of their months for $1.50
a day winch they—these trooly loil blacks—
ought to be earning at $2.50 for the same pe
riod!
In a net shell the caso i3 thus stated and
hardly needs comment, except as showing how
legimate are the fruito of the tree planted at
Washington by tho party in power since the
war. They have been trying six years to make
Sambo believe that he was a great deal belter
than most white people—especially Southern
•rebels and Northern copperheads. 'They have
dandled, and fondled, and kissed, and hugged
him &3 the incarnation of everything that was
sweet, and lovely, and pnre and of good report
until ho has concluded that ho is, sure enough
and now that he governs the District, why
shouldn’t he assert his superior rights? Why
shouldn’t he have $2 50 or even $3 50 or $4 50
for a day’s work if he likes? Aint these
“damned Yankee contractors" the mere crea
tures of the officials who owo their places to hi3
vote? Let the white trash who are willing to
work for $1 50 go find it somewhere else. Tboy
are mostly Democrats, anyhow, and don’t de
servo to have work so long as I—Sambo—tho
ruler of thi3 fend, am not supplied on my own
terms.
• Well, to use a very slangy but very expressive
pbrMe, we like such “chin music” as this negro,
West, ana. hto fellows furnish. It is soothing,
very. It bodwuogood to the d y o’s certainly,
and indicates a biu* in the entente cordials
between the carpet-baggtvg ana their dupes.
Sambo has found ont that as n& ^ these chaps
np he can pull them down, and that they recog
nize the fact; also, Cooke’s request to tho ooa-
tractors plainly shows. What will be the eno
we know not, bnt if Sambo don’t allow himself
to be Humbngged he’s master of the situation,
and tho d y o’s too. Let him insist npon $2 50,
or go even 50 cents better, and the d y o’s will
have to knock under at last.

Easily Answered.
The Herald, referring to the recent action of
the Ohio Democracy and the late speeches of
Mr. Davis, wishes to know: “Will the Demo
crats of the Cotton States go with Davis or Val
Iandigham ?” That question is easily answered.
They will go with neither in the sense the Her
ald means. They will go with the National
Democracy upon any platform and for any men
that may be selected as its exponents. If Mr.
Davis and Mr. Vallandlgham are on that line
then the Democrats of the Cotton States wifi
have the pleasure of going with both of them.
If not, not.

Crop Prospects In Mississippi.
The Jackson Clarion says:
Thus far the present season has been tte
most nnfavorable we have ever known for cot
ton. In consequence of tte late Springs and
excessive rains It ia at least three weeks behind
the average growth. Many planters have been
compelled to replant their orops, and have
barely secured stands: An average yield can
not be expected, even H the balance of the sea
son be favorable. The late growth will’inevita-
bly cause a heavy loss by frost. It to not possi
ble for a considerable part of tte crops jnst
planted to mature in time to escape destruction
in that way. In regard to the acreage devoted
to cotton, onr enquiries have induced the belief
that tte diminution as compared with last year,
is about one-fourth.
The increase cf the com crop is about in pro
portion to tte decrease of cotton; and we. are
/^ratified to report that the prospect of the
former to quite encouraging as far as onr infor
