MACON, JUNE 27, 1871
Bismarck's Trap.—A foreign correspondent
of one of the London papers qnotes Bismarck
as Baying that he used Paris as a trap to catch all
the political incendiaries of Europe. He knew
they would crowd into that city so soon as the
Communists set up their government. 'While,
therefore, he refused to take, any deoided meas
ures to.assist the Versailists, he was careful to
keep the approaches to the city held by the Ger
man troops wide open to all comers. The re
sult justified his most sanguine expectations,
foreign political agitators crowded into Paris by
thousands.
But a day or two before the grand onslaught
of the Versaillists troops on Paris, the gates
were suddenly closed and all ingress and egress
denied. Every panting fugitive from the aveng
ing Versaillists was arrested by the Germans
and turned back to the slaughter, and thu3 Eu
rope was delivered of a swarm of political ver
min.
But this bloody device of Prince Bismarck,
however fatal to thousands, does not appear to
have very materially diminished the number of
the socialists. At least there is enough of them
left to spread alarm and disorder in Belgium,
and to threaten a renewal of the war in Paris,
and they expect to cany the supplementary
elections in that city. Every country of Europe
is full of them, ana tney boast or an immense
number of adherents in the United States.
The Modern Romans.—The great German
army entered their capital in triumph last Sat-
nrday—a small detailfrom each regiment march
ing in grand triumphal procession through the
Brandenburg gate and the Unter den Linden,
which was lined on both sides by cannon and
other trophies of victory captured from the
French. The conquerors marched under tri
umphal arches and on beds of flowers, strewn
by the hands of the fair German girls. It was
a Roman triumph revived, with the omission of
a long string of prisoners bringing up the rear.
If they had chained Napoleon to the triumphal
car of the Emperor William, and marshalled in
his rear the hundreds of thousands of illustri
ous French generals and gallant officers and
soldiers captured in the war, the scene would
have carried the world back twenty centuries,
when that great universal power, the Roman
Empire,celebrated its triumphs, and paraded the
countless trophies of its irresistible might. Give
thb German Empire a better seaboard and the
months of her great rivers, (which she will
have,) and she is more formidable than the
Roman Empire.

The State Road Lease—The reports from
Atlanta of slack business on the State Road and
the threatened permanent ^abstraction from the
trade of the road, have brought the agitation
against the lease to a halt. An Atlanta paper
expresses the opinion that the effort in the Leg
islature may now be, not to forfeit, but to con
firm the lease. Perhaps so. Bat these events
constitute another reason why the road should
have been sold instead of leased last winter. It
is important now for the permanent -valno of
this property and the interests of the region of
country and communities affected by its busi
ness, that it should be in the hands of owners,
and not mere tenants.
TCxt Books for Schools.
In onr notice last week, we forgot to state
that the books prescribed for the use of oommou
schools by the Georgia State Beard of Educa
tion can be bonght “through agent and dealers
convenient for the people,” at half price till
November first, and thereafter they will be sold
at usnal rates. We find, also, that the readers
adopted, as well as the history of the United
States, are by a Virginian. So all the works to
housed in Georgia common Schools are South
ern, except those on orthography, chirograpby
and geography. We are satisfied that tins an
nouncement will be gratifying to onr people.—
Ealonion Press and Messenger.
It wonld be well, in onr judgment, for other
schools to do likewise. There are some text
books now in use at schools in this State and
city that ought to be burned rather than allowed
to go into the hands of Southern boys and girls.
We have had our attention called to one or two,
recently, which are so intensely and venomous
ly partisan and false in their teaching as to
questions connected with the late civil war, that
we ^cannot conceive how they ever got admis
sion into any school anywhere. Notably, among
them, wo may mention Fairchild’s “Moral
Philosophy,” whose author is President of Ober-
lin College, Ohio, one of the most loathsome in
stitutions of learning, so-called, in the country
—where negroes and whites of both sexes mingle
in sweet accord—where miscegenation and free
love are cherished principles, and hatred of the
Southern people inculcated as a sacred dnty.
Certainly it is not from snoh a poisoned foun
tain as this that onr bojs and girls should be
forced to drink. “Moral Philosophy” indeed S
Tho reverse of the adjective, in its strongest
meaning, hardly conveys a proper understand
ing 6f the misnomer. Fairchild is, of course,
intensely loil—a “stag of ten,” as it were, among
his felIow-howler3 of tho pulpit, and mildly
stigmatizes the struggle for Southern indepen
dence as “a wanton and wicked rebellion.” If
our young men and maidens oan’t learn moral
philosophy except as expounded by Fairchild,
they had better not make its acquaintance at all.
Bat Fairchild’s book is only one amongmany
others equally objectionable. We think too
little attention has been paid to this matter
heretofore, and trust that it will not continue
to bo the case hereafter. Let the North teach
its children such staff if it likes; we will have
none of it. The day will come when all these
questions can, and will be treated from the
stand point of impartiality. Until then, let
Southern children be instructed in the faith of
their fathers and mothers, and grow up gen
uine Southern men and women. We are satis
fied that impartial history will write nothing to
forbid their cherishing such faith, and that
what onr enemies now call sectional feeling and
prejudice on these points, will be stamped by it
with the seal of a genuine, broad nationality—a
nationality not defined by geographical lines
but resting upon and glorified by the immutable
canons of rational liberty, and true Republican*.
faux. * - —-
The Radicals of Ohio hold their State con
vention to-day. That qminent master of the art
of “blasphezious cussin and swearin,” Ben
Wade, and a General Noyes, are the rival can
didates for the nomination as Governor. Wade
rests a good part of his claims for the honor
upon his acknowledged superiority in thi3 line,
and also upon that San Domingo boll ride, but
Noyes “rallies round tho flag” with great vigor.
It is bummer against blasphemer.
Visible Supply op Cotton.—The Financial
Chronicle reports the visible supply of cotton
last Friday night at 2,081,482 bales, against
1,669,752 at the same date last year—showing
411,730 bales increase, which is less than one-
half tho increased. American product. The
stock of cotton on hand in Liverpool and on
shipboard is 63 per oent. American, against 62
per cent. last year.
We seeaathing.in the New York papers anent

It is really too hot to havo to go for him about

Cabteestille is or ought to be, in the seventh
heaven of beatitude. The amiable Akerman

Unueasonable People.—The Atlanta Geor
gian of Monday says: “Thermometer at ninety
degrees in the shade, and yet wo are not happy.”
The mercury at Zeilin’s corner in Macon, which
is the salamander station of the town, failed to
get above eighty-eight on Monday. Onr Atlanta
friends say Macon is a hot place. Let us com
pare notes occasionally.
The Papal Anniversary.—Oat of 259 suc
cessive occupants of tho Chair of St. Peter, on
ly two have reigned twenty-five years, and of
these the present occupant, the venerable Pio
Nino, is one. The completion of tho twenty-
fifth year of his Pontificate on Friday last, was
an event of great interest among the Catholics
throughout the civilized world.
Moneoe County Faib.—Mnnroe county is

Cuthbert and Macon Rivals.
The idea is to let no contracts too extensive
to insure their being graded for the track-layers
to complete their work, and have the road ready
for the trains by the first of November.
If the approaching Democratic Legislature
is the cause of the hurry—a3 the Macon Tele
graph intimates in a recent sluice of cold water
dashed upon the enterprise—so be it Cuthbert
wants the road—the people of this whole sec
tion want the road—and if it does bring onr
city in competition with Macon, a3 a distribu
ting point for cotton shipped to tho coast, so
much tho better for os. So, Mr. Telegbaph,
yon had best keep your cold water and back-
handed dampers to our railroad for the purpose
of keeping yourself cool.
We allude to the foregoing from the Cuthbert
Appeal, of Jane 1G, simply because of its injus
tice to ns. - We are not oppposed to the B. &
A. Railroad, but on the contrary, shall hail its
completion as an important event to Cuthbert
and the section throngh which It passes. But
we do condemn the principle of wholesale State
aid as fraught with ruin to the tax payers of the
oountry. Moreover, experience has shown that
all public works are better managed, and more
profitable, when bnilt and controlled solely Ijy
private enterprise.
.In regard to Cnthbert’s threatened rivalry,
the idea is entirely new and refreshing to us.
Surely, brother’Christian’s eyes must be blinded
by the brilliant sheen of the “new issue” which
promises to bo so plentiful in his commmunity,
and waxing fat by anticipation, grows compla
cent and grandiloquent.
We beg leave simply to remind him of the
fable of the frog and the ox. “How we apples
swim.”
Tiie Big Wisconsin Pigeon Roost.
The North-weBtem papers are fall of talk
about tho big pigeon roost np at Eilbonrne
City, Wisconsin. The breeding ground ex
tends over nine townships, and is from ten to
twelve miles wide. In that area every tree and
Shrub is loaded with birds, eighty and one hun
dred being frequently seen on one pine tree.
They have caused great destruction to tho grain
fields of the State. The woods are alive with
wolves, foies, and other beasts who feed, night
and day, on the young that are being hatched
and thrust from the nests in couMess numbers
by the parent birds—hundreds of hunters shoot,
net, and knock over the grown one3, and bands
of Indians are busy in laying in next winter's
supply of food, bat still there seems no sensi
ble redaction in the number.
The scene in the night time is described.as
most remarkable. Innumerable flocks get be
nighted while off feeding, and, as they return,
tho roar of their wings throngh the forest is
overwhelming. They pile upon each other lit
erally in heaps, breaking the overburdened
brambles, and precipitating multitudes from
their perches upon tho ground. The wild
wings and the chattering that fill the air as late
as midnight, is truly appalling, while the odor
arising from the countless dead and drooping
produce a stench almost intolerable.
' We republish from the Charleston Conner
an interesting news paragraph in relation to the
business of the leading New York steam line
from that ciiy, and add the list of the “Geor
gia’s cargo,” which.is truly enormous in bulk:
NEW YORK.—Exports S. S. Georgia.—1,709
bales cotton, 86 bales domestio goods, 403 bun
dles paper, 207 tierces rice, 298 barrels rosin,
72 casks day, 169 packages, furniture, etc. Sun
dries—282 barrels potatoes, 2,005 boxes veget
ables, and 251 boxes peaches and frnit.
From Courier 14th of June, 187L
“The Stjamshep ‘Georgia.’—Cotton, Rice,
Peaches and Tomatoes.*—The ‘Iron Line’ is an
institution. It spreads out in' freights and pass
engers c-o-n-8-i-d-e-r-a-b-l-y, and we record this
morning the agreeable fact that a 2,000 ton
steamship can get at Charleston—in June—not
only a foil cargo, bat another on deck. We wish
the Tribune’s correspondent had been abont
Union Wharves, between sunrise and sunset
yesterday; it wonld have been a better point of
observation for one on tho lookout for business
than White ‘Point Garden, which, ‘we wish to
remark’ Is at the promenade end of the city.
And then the ‘ Mrs. Grundys,’ who are so
anxious about C-h-a-r-I-e-s-t-o-n, because no
big ships can oomein yon s-e-e—they could
have witnessed a regular coasting stean&bip
leave her dock on a draft of eleven afid a half
feet of water, and carrying away six thousand
packages of cotton, rice, naval stores, clay do
mestio goods, frnit and farm track, and all sorts
of other things—all of whioh wonld have made
’em feel languid over their “deep water” invest
ments. The fact is, it’s rather early to establish
a harbor expressly for the ijpe of Oja Southern
Pacific Railroad. Now, if a steamship can be
constructed to carry three thousand bales of
cotton on twelve feet draught of water, ain’t it
cheaper to bnild the new steamship to soit the
port than to bnild new ports to suit old steam
ships? Passengers appreciate the ‘Iron Line.’
From ‘Way down South in Dixie* come the tired
and dusty voyageurs, seeking for these deck
state-rooms, so pool and newly famished; and
the dwellers on the far distant Cahawba and
Alabama have already heard of ‘Booth's dinners
on the Georgia.’ Booth is a rising planet of the
Delmonico order, and is sought after.
“The ‘Georgia’s’ cargo and passenger list is
referred to elsewhere as evidence that Charles
ton does some little business.”
Cotton Crop ok 1871.—The Herald, speaking
of the luat Bureau Report, says its oetimate Is
that tho growing crop will not exceed three and
a half million bale. The planters (says that
paper) found that a larg* crop brings them no
more, or bnt little more, money than a short
one, the price in the market being regulated by
the supply. We cannot blame the platters for
studying their own interests in this maiVr,
while at the same time we may regret to see
cotton high and cotton goods dearer. In this
case the loss to the world seems to be a gain to
the planters. Cheap cotton is a great boon, un
doubtedly, to mankind as well as to manufactu
rers, and wo hope the time will come when tho
production of thi3 article may be cheapened by
the use of machinery and improved methods of
cultivation.
That is all very good, and when the world dis
covers some method of picking cotton by ma
chinery, production will bo almost illimitable.
Bnt this will need a sentient machine. At pres
ent, however desirable cheap cotton may be,
the planters should not undertake to produoe it
at their qwn expense. Last year they raised
4,200,000 bales of cotton for nothing—that is to
say, for not a cent over expenses; and the mere
prospect of a short orop has enabled speculators
to make eighty millions on it. Hereafter will
not planters try to make a little money for them
selves by abandoning overproduction ?
Toombs.—We notice (says the Commercial
Advertiser of Saturday evening) that a number
of leading Southern papers copy tho Tribune
correspondent’s “interview” with Toombs. They
all repudiate the reported Toombs doctrine, and
declare that the “interviewer” was “atuffed”
by Robert, and then sent out to make profert
of hia own gullibility.
Plain Words to Truthful James.—A Roman
Cathotic journal, the St. Peter, ha3 just delivered
a shafp bnt pithy homily to Mr. James Gordon
Bennett. It reminds him that he was born,
baptized and bronght np in the Catholio Church.
Farther, that he is now an old man and should
be making his peace with God. Bnt this, U
tells him, cannot be done merely by giving a
few thousand dollars now and then to a Catholic
church, and occasionally sayings good word for
the Pope in his paper. He must do a great depl
more than this, HemuBt utterly change the
character of the Herald, which has been “most
sinfully managed.” He most discharge the
“infidels” who now write its editorials. Does
he object that to do this wonld xuin his paper.
“We think it wonld,” replies St. Peter, “but it
is better for all eternity to rain an evil news
paper than to suffer for all eternity in the burn
ing lake. The success of an evil newspaper
can ud tiuibmmm* —>r i.j oatan with the logs or
the imperishable soul.”
Tiie Bacon and Western Railroad
Lease.
Maoon, June 21,1871.
To the Stockholders of the Macon and Western
Railroad Company:
Gentlemen—With feelings of more than or.
dinary relnctance, am I induced to obtrude on
your attention, bnt a sense of dnty to the railroad
interest I represent, will not allow me to pass
unnoticed the filnrs cast, and misrepresenta
tions made by yonr President in his last circu
lar, directed against the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad Company.
In this communication, allusion is made to
the offer tendered by the Macon and Brunswick
Company for the lease of the Macon and
Western road, as being unworthy of notice, by
reason of informality, a want of guarantees,
and to quote his own words to you, “This of-
offer had nothing in it to entitle it to respect or
consideration.”
The communication was submitted to yonr
Board during my absence, by the Secretary of
the Macon and Brunswick Company, Mr. F.
Emmel, according to direct instructions from
me as President, acting under advisement with
onr Board of Directors. Its genuineness was
vouched for by one of yonr Directors in attend
ance, Mr. L. N. Whittle.
The bid was a bona Jide bid made in good
faitb, elicited by an intimation received that
yonr Board desired to lease out yonr Road. The
bid contemplated and named a fixed rate of 12
per cent, per annum dividend on yonr entire
capital stock, and which was guaranteed to
yonr Directory by the knowledge of the fact,
that it was backed by parties owning near ono-
third interest in yonr own stock, as well as .be-
ing men of means and wealth. This bid, will if
desired, be renewed to you at yonr Convention
and will be accompanied with such guarantees
as will establish beyond any dispute its validi
ty and strength.
The secresy attending tho object of the spe
cial meeting of yonr Board, rendered it almost
impossible to know what was required in the
way of a proposition, and it must be admitted
the bid was not solicited.
These facts shonld not however havo caused
the proposition to be rejected soignominiously,
not being allowed even a plaoe on the minutes
of the meeting, Bid the bid might have been
politely declined, and perhaps been made ser
viceable to yonr Board in strengthening their
position in their negotiations for the lease of
yonr property to the Central,
The rate named in onr bid, viz: 12per cent,
is as yon will agree, a very high rate on yonr
secently inflated capital, and was only warranted
on onr port by reason of the extreme importance
of your Macon and Western road, it being our
only outlet and means of supply without build
ing other lines. The Southwestern Road having
been, abont two years Bince, closed to ns by a
lease in a similar manner to the Central.
Before' leaving this matter of the bid of the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company for
the lease of the Macon and Western Railroad, I
wish distinctly to state and so have it clearly un
derstood, that in making this bid, we did not,
nor do we now endorse the policy of leases ex
cept in special cases, nor did wo seek to draw
the Maoon and Western Railroad into any en
tangling alliance with our Company. The bid
was elicited, as before represented, on a hint
being given that the Board would consider a
lease of yonr Road to tho Central, negotiations
having already been commenced for that pur
pose.
Tho disastrous effect of a similar lease os con
templated by yon, is well exemplified in the case
of the Southwestern to tho Central, previously
referred to. The stock of which Company, from
being in demand at 111 finds now doll sale
at 91.
.To show, however, that tho bid made to yon
was worthy of “consideration,” and that it was
within the power of the Macon and Brunswick
Railroad Company to have fulfilled the obliga
tions incurred under the conditions, it is only
necessary to correct an omission made by your
President as to the extent of onr business, and
in doing so, prove by his own figures his infer
ences tq^bc unfounded and conclusions unjust.
.In summing up the earnings of the two lines,
viz. • tho Macon and Brunswick and Macon and
Western,.to show the amount of the earnings
during tue ’«aso if consummated, whereby, of
course, the entire!business between Atlanta and
Savannah and Brumroict, would be carried
oyer the united lines, as U the case in the lease
between the Central and Southwestern in re
regard to all business between Columbus, Eu-
faula, etc, to Snvannah, yonr President Bimply
gums np the earnings of onr two lines tho post
year, omitting altogether out of his estimate,
the amount of business to and from the Central
Road derived from tho Macon and Western,
an omission amounting in freights alone—
as shown by the Central reports—to $196,430.-
93, and in passengers about $83,281.15, making
the small sum of $279,712.08, properly due to
the credit of the gross earnings of the Macon
and Brunswick Ro4d. Over a quarter of a
million of dollars of earnings omitted—a Blight
error, but which tells heavily on the wrong side
of a balance sheet, or estimate. A farther al
lowance is naturally due to a reasonable in
crease in earnings over the amount shown by
the first twelve months’ operations of an entire
ly new line. This increase for the fire months
since onr last report, amounts to $02,707.70,
over tho earnings for the same months of the
past year, whioh, if continued, wonld give &
difference of $150,498.48 for tho twelve months.
The history of every road attests the fact
of an improvement in business with every year
of its life. Some roads from a condition of
absolute poverty and bankruptcy, rising to be
leading routes. Prominent amongst the num-
1 the
bef stands yonr own road, which succumbed ere
its completion, and was sold out under ‘ t ~~
hammer of the Sheriff. This swept away
and a quarter millions of dollars from its first
stockholders. Examples of this sort are so
jnerous, however, as to require no farther
cussion of the fact that earnings and business
Steadily increase.
I append a corrected statement, bringing Into
the account the omission of yonr President as
well as the gain which may be expected during
the twelve mopths, whioh statement shows that
the Macon and Brunswick road cannot only
pay all her own obligations in the way of ex
penditures and interests, but also the amount
of $300,000 guaranteed to you, without fail,
and have a balance of some $33,652 75.
Yonr attention is earnestly solicited to all
details of the statement.

In reiterating the assertion that the bid made
for leasing yonr road, was of a bona fide char-
acter, and that the Macon and Brunswick Rail
road has the ability of carrying out the obliga
tions without calling on the New York guaran-
tors, I will here close my remarks. My ob
ject h&3 been to vindicate the character of the
bid so slightingly alluded to in the late circular,
os well is to show our ability of carrying out
the leaje. It is not my province to go in to a
discusnon of the question of the nature of this
lease to the Central, neither of its policy, nor
to inquire into the motives of the movers in
this lease, nor into the manner in which it^ias
been attempted to be accomplished. These
arc juestions which you as stockholders must
weich and judge.
The effect of the lease of yonr road to the
Qprtral, would be of such manifest disadvan-
tag» to the Macon and Brunswick as to require
no Comment If it be the intention of the Cen
tral Road to break down and sellout onr road,
as it openly avowed by tho leading Director in
the Central, we beg that yoOr assistance be not
givtn to swell the present odds against u3.
W6 must also protest against the mere bid
of the Maoon and Brunswick Railroad Compa
ny, heing used as a “reason” for driving you
into a lease of yonr pjoperty.
Previous to the late circular the general un
derstanding seemed to be that the subscription
of Atlanta to thd Atlanta and Tennille read,
with the still heavier subscription to be ex
pected from Savannah, were tho “reasons” why
your road should be leased to the Central. Un
fortunately for ns of the Macon and Bruns
wick road, tho President of that enterprise,
Mr. Hiram Roberts, has magnanimously come
forvard after being informed that yonr road
hadbeen leased to the •Central, thus relieving
yont fears as to the bnilding of this rival line,
by the announcement that his road has accom
plished its purpose by breaking down “one
monopoly” supposed to refer to that of the Ma-
cpnand Western, and now he rests content.
The issue is ohanged. The late circular goes
forth, pnblished in papers and posted to each
stockholder, not one word of the Tennille scare,
but thebid of the Branswick Road and its short
comings are made the “reasons" why the Ma
con and Western Road shonld be leased to the
Central. It wonld seem to be an interesting
study to the stockholders of the Macon and
Western IJoad, to learn, positively, what are
the “reasons,” excuses would seem to be the
better word, why their road shonld be leased to
the Central Railroad and Banking Company of
Georgia. Respeotfully,

tho annual literary address will be delivered by
Hon. James Jacksou, of Maoon. See farther

favored with fine weather for the comfort of the
numerous citizens and strangers who will throng
Griffin at that time.
Seven thousand desks for tho Bchools of Mis
sissippi were recently bonght at the price of
$7 a piece, making a sum total of $49,000, for
which the school fund is now to or has paid. It
has been fonnd that identically tho same desk
is supplied elsewhere for $3 50 apiece. The,
question among Mississippians now i3 who
pooketed the $24,500 of whioh the school fund
was robbed in the transaction? The Radical

havo had “ a finger in the pie.”

A Good Move.—A movement is on foot, we
understand, to hold the State Fair next fall at
the Central City Trotting Park, where the Bibb
County Agricultural Society held it3 Fair on
last Saturday. We most earnestly second the
motion. The Park has ever been the choice of
a large majority of our citizens as a site for
•holding Fairs, and if the necessary buildings
could havo been erected there, in time for the
State Fair in 1869, it wonld then have been se ;
lected as the place. It is true there are no sueji
buildings in the country for holding a Fair, or
for the accommodation of a large crowd as those
of the laboratory, and there are few larger, or
finer hippodromes than that erected last year
by the Central Georgia Agricultural and Manu
facturing Company; bnt all will admit that
both are inaccessible to the masses of onr peo
ple, and nothing caused so much complaint du
ring the State Fair, as the inadequate transpor
tation to and from tho Fair Grounds. Besides,
if, as it is generally understood, the laboratory
buildings are soon to bo converted into a man
ufacturing establishment, other buildings will
have to be erected for Fair purposes near the
hippodrome, a thing wholly impracticable, or
inexpedient, to say the least of it, Wonld it
not be better, then, we respectfully suggest, to
move the hippodxomo and stalls for animals
now at the laboratory grounds, to the Park, and
immediately set abont building an exhibition
hall in the beautiful grove, and from year to
year improve upon it, and beautify and adorn
the grounds, thus giving our citizens a delight
ful place for recreation and amusement at all
times,' and affording the people of tbo state
beautiful and ample grounds and buildings for
their annual Fairs. Place the hippodrome in
the centre of the trotting track at the park,
and from its platform a horse’s hoof maybe
seen at any point while moving around the
track, so level is tho ground. Then let the ex
hibition hall be erected in the grove, and the
stalls for animals be placed along the river
bank, as those now in use by Mr. Beddleeom,
and yon will then, have an abundance of water
for tho use-of man and beast, an unsurpassed
raoe track, beautiful and well shaded grounds,
and all easily accessible and within ten min
utes’ walk of the heart of tho city. Or, if you
prefer it, build a street railroad from the Gen
eral Passenger Depot, to run down Fonrth to
Mulberry or Walnut streets, and thence to the
Park. This would settle the question of trans
portation and pay the street railroad company a
large dividend on their investment daring the
holding of Faira, and be the souroo of a lucra
tive business every summer, ashundrods of onr
citizens wonld visit the Park each afternoon or
evening, to cool off and tako an hoar’s recrea
tion beneath the glorious forest trees which
shade its grounds. Take hold of this matter,
gentlemon, yon who have the means. There’s
money in it; besides, posterity will rise np and
bless your names and memory, and emulate
your enterprising publio spirit

Lowe’s Patent Vapor Stove.—This admira
ble invention will form a new era in housekeep
ing. Naptha is the agent used in generating the
heating gas, and so cheap is this article that an
expenditure of $1 50 is sufficient to do the
cooking of a family of fifteen portions for one
week. In Savannah this stove is almost in uni
versal use, and]Gen. Johnston, Dr. Kollock and
many prominent citizens endorse its value and
utility. We saw it in full operation, and can
testify that not the slightest danger of explo
sion need be apprehended. Ignite a can of the
fluid, and it simply barns until the air is exclu
ded, without any detonation whatever—when
poured loosely upon a doth or paper snrfaoe, it
expires without the least detriment to tihe fabric.
Call and examine the patent vapor stove.
Got Him at Last.—We must confes
feeling of indignation on reading the folio'
telegram, received yesterday evening:
Ecfaula, Ala., June 21,1871.
R. D. Shropshire : Sir. John Black, edi-.oi
of the Euf aula News, ha3 been put in jail y
Judge Keils, for refusing to disclose to t!
Grand Jury the names of oertain correspou.
ents of his paper.
Until we get fuller information on ties
ject, it wonld be imprudent, perhaps, to ‘‘g
for the Judge,” but it does seem tousttstl
is using arbitrary and tyrannical poyer,
he seeks to extort from an editor, byimptb
ment and severe punishment, the nas:J> <
names of certain contributors to his coIyci
particularly when they give them in couSku j
to tho editoa. There is no higher or
sacred obligation resting upon a newspapej
editor than that which binds him to secresy .
regard to the names of his correspond
when they so desire it, and we hope that •
Black will have the fortitude to diet--’-I
inch, before he can be made to violate his o
sense of honor, and betray the coaSdence ■
contributors have reposed in him.
Tho friends in Eufanla who sent us the a ^
telegram have onr thanks. The matteris^
serious for jesting, but really we uoula
see how John looks behind a netvoi
