MACON, JULY 18, 1871.
Anticipated Row in New Yoke.—-Theio is
great excitement to New York growing ont of
an anticipated^*- among the Irish population
of that city to-morrow. _ The Orangemen,
(Protestant Irish,') have proposed a grand pub-
lio procession, which, in some way (not under
stood) is held as an insult and defiance by the
Catholic Irish. The latter have appealed to the
Mayor to forbid the procession, but as that
would be wholly inconsistent with civil-and po
litical rights under this Government, the Mayor
has declined the undertaking. The Catholics,
therefore, have notified the public that the Or
ange procession shall not bo permitted, and are
preparing for an assault upon it. The OraDge-
men, on the other hand, put upon their mottle,
swear they will hold it, and thus the matter
stands.
The hierarchy and priesthood of the Catholic
Ohnrch in Now York, on Sanday, appealed to
the members of their congregations to bo qfiiet
but, os will be seen from tho dispatches of
Monday morning, a meeting of tho Irish corpo
rations was held to the afternoon and a large
majority were in favor of attacking the organi
zation.
We trust that better counsels will prevail and
the peace be preserved. A riot is seldom a mat
ter of much premeditation. When the people
have time for reflection they see tho folly of it.
All olasses of politicians have the legal right to
march the streets in peace, and even flaunt of
fensive banners in the face of their fellow-citi
zens. Tho rights of freemen involve, to some
extent, tho right to bo disagreeable and offen
sive ; and instead of undertaking to whip the
7,000 New York Orangemen, tho fifteen thou
sand Irish Catholics, if they insist on revenge,
should take it in kind. If tho Orangemen ridi
cule them in procession, let them ridicule the
orangomon the same way the next day.
“Sweet Sovereign.”—Tho President ha3 had
a high time to New Jersey—eating himself as
modelled in statnes of ice cream, gingerbread
and sugar, with a cigar in his month. The
President remarked that this was the only time
he ever saw himself with his cigar nnlighted.
Senator Frelinghuysen said the people would
swallow Grant eagerly without cream or sugar.
Betsey Frelinghuysen, pointing with her spoon
to tho dissolving scenes, presented by the
creamy figures, said that was the first time
Grant ever run. Top3y Snap, a sour old spins
ter, said it was the first time ho was ever in
melting mood, or bad the milk of human kind
ness in his buzzum. Arabella White eaid a
President should not require so much sweetnin’,
and was then sharply chided by her mother
for a supposed indelicate allusion to the gift
business. But Arabella spitefolly rejoined that
she “didn’t care a mossel,” and if the whole
Grant family were there, down to the forty-sec
ond oou3in, she would gladly eat ’em up, if that
wonld bo the last of ’em. Upon this, Dr. Mc-
Cosh called the whole concern to ordor, just as
the last “ice cream statoo of the Gineral, tum
bled down kerslash into the stand basin.” Those
were j oily times in the Jarseys.
The Cotton Figures, (see dispatches on first
page,) show total receipts since September 1st,
1870, 3,520,ICO bales, against 2,835,607 the pre
vious year. Receipts durtog the week a little
in excess of the week before. Exports very
light, and stock at the ports and interior points
108,468, against 189,095 last year. Exports
3,069,646, against 2,099,513. Liverpool stock
715,000, against 574,000 last year. Cotton
afloat—American 103,000, and Indian 521,560—
624,560 bales, against 496,546 last year. We
are reminded that, in estimating tho incoming
crop, wo have omitted a material item to “over
land cotton”—that is, cotton forwarded by rail
way direct to United States consumers, which it
is supposed will amount to somewhere between
one and two hundred thousand bales, and swell
tho American crop grown to 1670 by that num
ber, making it probably abont forty to forty-
throe hundred thousand hales.
Evabts & Adams.—The New York Sun an
nounces with a flourish of trumpets that a grand
movement is on foot among the Germans,
headed by ex-Mayor Havemeyer, to bring ont
a ticket composed of Hon. William M. Evarts
for President and John Quincy Adams for
Vico-Prosident, and make an appeal to the peo
ple against tho twaddle, bigotry, fraud and folly
which now characterize the management of
t public affairs. Tho Sun is particularly anxious
to escape the embarrassing dilemma which will
be presented by the renomination of Grant and
a Democratic ticket pure and simple, neither
of which it can support. We will say of his
ticket that it Is one of sense and integrity—and
would so be regarded by the people.
Commencements at Athens and Oxfobd—
One Fabe.—Referring to a report made by Mr.
Lewis at the Alnmni meeting in Macon, stating
that he had made arrangements with the Cen
tral and Macon and Western Roads to carry at
tendants on the Alnmni festival at Athens at
one fare for both ways, the Macon and Augusta
Railway reminds ns that they have been adver
tising in our paper two weeks to carry all attend
ants upon the commencements at Athens and
Oxford on the same terms. Oathe payment of
fall faro in going, they will be furnished a re
turn ticket free. - '
The Eobeau’s Forthcoming Cotton Report.
Tho New York Commercial Advertiser of Friday
night says that private dispatches report that
tho returns received at the Agricultural Depart-
mont show a decreased productive capacity in
the growth of cotton of a million and a half
acres, and a falling off of the crop as compared
with last year of twenty-three per cent. Twenty-
five per cent, off the incoming crop wonld make
the next crop more than 3,200,000 bales and we
do not bolleve it is going to be so much as that.
The Best Cotton Geopin the United States,
The Edgefield Advertiser says that Capt T. Xu
Smith’s cotton crop, one mile north of Edgefield,
South Carolina, is the best one in Uncle Sam’s
dominions. Tho plants average waist high and
are thickly set with blooms and squares. The
ground is mellow and deep and not a sprig of
grass to be seen. We reckon the Advertiser is
about right.
The Pennsylvania Manifesto shows in tho
terse language of Jeremiah Black, the supreme
.folly of the allegation that if tie Democracy
should agree to make no issue upon the late
constitutional amendments—no material issues
would be left and there wonld be no difference
between the two parties. «:
Obituary Notices.—Onr charge for publish
ing obituary notices is ten cents a line, whioh
can be readily computed by counting the man
uscript lines. A line of foolscap will ordinarily
make a printed line in onr columns. Count
your own lines, and inclose the money.
The Haxtxxns have presented Senator Chas.
Somner with a gold medal for his opposition to
San Domingo annexation. The abstraction of
so much gold as this from Hayti will reduce their
enrrenoy two or three hundred per cent more.
Wx have received a communication on the
subject of the late medical row in this city,
a which it is not possible to make room for to
day. To-morrow we may publish it
An Error in Policy.
By a table the Montgomery Advertiser shows
that under the State Constitution just $4,241
value of-properly is exempted from levy to ease
of a family consisting of man, wife and three
children This was short-sighted policy in Ala
bama. She ought to have exempted at least
$4,241,P00 in value, and then the people wonld
have kept out of debt—leastways they could not
have g.t info it, which would have been an
equal blessing. In Georgia, we do these things
by “relief laws.” Every three or four years,
when some of the people get a little beyond
their depth, a crisis comes, and we pass a relief
law. We naturally, like all high-minded people,
despise, repudiation, and never- interfere with
the obligations .of contracts at all—by no means.
We simply require that the creditor shall come
forward and prove a few things, more or.less.
If the debt is for real estate, the vendor must
prove that it has not depreciated—has always
brought good crops—and those crops sold for
good prices. That the location is healthy and
the debtor has paid nothing for doctors’bills and
funerals. • That there’s no homestead lien on it
nnd it has been returned for taxes, etc., etc.,
eto. If the debt is for com, it must be shown
that the com was sound and the mules eat it
freely—that the negroes gave it to the stock and
did not steal any. That none was lost on the
road by reason of torn sacks and no mules were
injured or lost from cholio while eating the com.
And so on through the chapter. This much il
lustrates the high moral principle involved,
which is designed, as "Dick Turpin said, when
he emptied the pockets of a usurer, to “snb-
sarvo the eends of jestice.” We like the Ala
bama plan better, because it does not take the
rapscallions unawares. Bnt they have not ex
empted enough. No state should* exempt less
than five millions at a pop.

The Advertiser, of Sunday, says:
The Spanish Trade of Savannah—Valuable
Statistics of 1870-71.—Until the season of 1870
and 1871, it was an unusual thing to observe a
Spanish vessel in the port of Savannah, prob
ably not more than one or two clearing through
out an entire season. ■ Daring the past year,
however, this trade, heretofore confined princi
pally to Charleston, was transferred to Savannah,
and as a result we find an entry of forty-two
Spanish vessels, including two steamers, twen
ty-six barks, and fourteen brigs, exporting 31,-
162 bales of cotton, 1,830 barrels of rosin,_2SG,-
833 feet of lumber, and 31,609 staves. These
vessels, upon their arrival, met with unsur
passed dispatch, filling up quickly through the
efforts of Messrs. Charles Green, Son & Go.,
who controlled the entire shipments to Spain,
while Messrs. Octavns Cohen & Co. and Messrs.
J. W. Anderson’s Sops & Co. filled, up rapidly
for Liverpool and Havre. This new addition to
the commercial interests of Savannah, so ex
tensively inaugurated, we are informed will be
increased two-fold the coming season, as ar
rangements are now being perfected for con
ducting that particular branch of commerce on
a more extended scale.
On last Thursday night, 120 bales of cotton
were stopped from Nashville to New York, via
Atlanta, Augusta and Charleston. This is the
first shipment of the kind since the war, says
the Constitutionalist.
Of tho watermelon trade of Augusta the Con
stitutionalist says:
Watermelon Tbade of Augusta.—The whole
country depends almost entirely npon the imme
diate neighborhood of Augusta for a supply of
melons, and thousands are annually shipped
from this city to New York, Charleston, Savan
nah and other places, where they find a ready,
sale at high prices. We know of ah instance
where a young friend of ours has realized $10
per day since the commencement of the season.'
after an expenditnraof not more than $300, and
with one hand and mule to cultivate his crop.
From the 3d to the 7th inst, 9,362 watermelons
were shipped over the Central Railroad to New
York. Of these, 5,939 were stopped in one day
—the 7th. Daring the same time, 5,907 melons
were forwarded by the South Carolina Railroad
to New York and 560 to Charleston. Thus, in
a week's time, over 11,000 watermelons, grown
to the vicinity of Augusta, have been stopped
principally to New York. These, at an average
of 25 cents apiece, wonld amount to nearly
$3,000 in value. This is only a small beginning
of what is to come, for we understand that the
crop will be one of the largest ever made in the
county, and contracts have been made with par
ries at the North who will take os many melons
as can be shipped.
We quote the following from the Chroniolo
and Sentinel,-of Sunday:
The Other Bbgtheb Caught.—Several days
ago we noticed the arrest of a somewhat- cele
brated character, William Oxford, alias, Taylor,
by the sheriff and three men in Borke county.
Bullock offered a reward of $2,000 for his cap-
tore, which, we understand, has been promptly
paid over to tos captors. Oh last Friday even
ing the other brother, Henry Oxford alias Tay
lor, was brought to the city under arrest. It
appers that information was received that ho
was working in a saw mill near No. 11, on the
Central Railroad, in Jefferson county, and Judge
Gibson issued a bench warrant for his appre
hension. A few days ago, wo learn, Messrs. G.
M. Hood, Chas. Evans and Frank Bland, went
down to Jefferson from this city, and nabbed
tom. A reward of $5,000 has been offored for
his arrest. He is now safe in the jail of thin
city. It is said that Oxford has made some as-,
tonhding revelations abont the Kn-klnx in Wash
ington and Emannel, but whether his disclos
urea were truth or merely jest, is unknown.
Requisition. —We learn that the Governor of
South Carolina has made a requisition upon the
Governor of Georgia for the body of Owen L.
W. Smith, the colored preacher, who is charged
with being the leader of the Ks klnx who killed
Low, and wounded Mr. Red and his wife and
mother, and who was arrested by the iAugusta
police, and committed as a fugitive from jus

Another National Bank.—Seme days since
w© announoei thd formation of a third National

Savings Bank the other evening, it was deter
mined to oonvert that corporation into-a Na

be ready for business to a very short rime. The
capital stock is $325,000.

Seale Station, Ala., -July 7, 1871.—Daring
in heavy rain and thunder storm here yesterday
afternoon, about 5 o'clock, Mr. Zorkowski’s
livery Btable was stricken by lightning, carry
ing away and damaging a considerable portion
of the front end of the building, killing a son
of Mr. Benjamin R. Henry, aged about ten
years, and prostrated Captain Robert N.-How
ard and two negro men, who were all the per
sons in the stable at the time. As soon as dis
covered, they were all held in a stream of water
close by. made by the rain falling to torrents.
Captain Howard and the negroes revived slowly,
and araall out this morning, but complaining
of injuries sustained.
H. I. Kimball.—A reliable gentleman and
contractor from Eufaula, now present in our
city, preparing to bid on the work of the North
and South Road, reports that H. I. Kimball has
sold out the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, of
whioh he was elected President a short time
back,'with such sounding trumpets.. The Cen

A Nigger Guardian Skins his Ward Alive.—>
Last Monday was brought before Judge Gurley’s
court negro a namdd Lewis Young, charged
with cruelty to tos ward, a juvenile suffrago-
slingeifof about' five years old, named Wesley
Glenn. Tho child was presented to the court
and examined; and tos back was fonnd to be
literally skinned, presenting a disgusting spec
tacle. It seems that this inhuman monster has
been in the habit of tortnring young Glenn by
degrees, and it was clearly proven.in court—for
tos back was in the highest state of^ lacerated
putrefaction. Young went to jail in*default of

We get tho following from the Cnthbert Ap
peal of Saturday:
Attempted Outrage;—Abont one o’clock on
the night of . the 3d inst., a daughter of Mr.
Grant, living in this county, was aroused from
bar slumbers by_the forcible entrance of a ne
gro man intoher room. Upon giving tne alarm,
the negro made his escape. The young ladiy’s
father and brother came quickly to the rescue,
and were told the direction taken by the negro,
andalsothathewasinastateofnudity. These
gentlemen proceeded to the cabin of a negro
man enlployed on the farm, and snre enough
found him in the act of dressing. They carried
tom ontinto the woods to give him another kind
of “dressing,” bnt he made his escape, followed
by a few pistol balls—the effect of which is un
known. Nothing has been seen of the negro
since. His wife came to town on Taesday, and
had Mr. Grant and tos son arreBted on a charge
of murder. They were released upon giving
bond for their appearance at the next Superior
Court. , ■’ ’
Judge Keim.—The article published some
time since in reference to Judge Keils, of Ala
bama, was a news item procured from a clergy
man, and given in snbstanoe just as it was re
ceived from him. Afterwards a prominent cit
izen of Eufaula repeated the same almost with
out variation, whioh he says was the current re
port of the oity. • Judge Keils now denies tho
troth of the statement, and we give tom the
benefit of that denial. The publio can take
and sum up tbe evidence if they choose, in the
premises, and form its own conolosion. We do
not cars to pursue the subject any farther. The
game is not worth the candle. We will assure
the irate Judge, however, that, despite his pol
itics, we would not wilfully misrepresent him.
As we are ever ready to give both sides a hear
ing we will publish tho letter of Judge Keils to
morrow. H. H. J,
Macon and Augusta Railroad.—A note to
the editors calls their attention to the fact that
this road ha3 already advertised that it wifi
carry and return visitors to the Athens com
mencement for one fare, and that its omission
from the list of roads that had agreed to do so,
noted in the account of the proceedings of the
Alnmni Association meeting, in this city last
Friday, may create a false impression. We
take great pleasure in setting the M. and A.
Road right in the premises, as it is the shortest
and speediest route of reaching Athens from
Maoon and vicinity—leaving here after early
breakfast, and landing passengers in Athens by
4 p. if. same day.
American Newspapeb Dibectoet.—Geo. P.
Rowell & Co., publishers and newspaper adver
tising agents, 41 Park Row, New York, have
just issued the Amerioan Newspaper Directory,
a splendid royal octavo volume of 500 pages,
giving all possible statistics abont the periodi
cal press in America. In the United States and
Canadas there are 6,43S periodicals, with an ag
gregate circulationof 1,499,922,219. In Geor

The New Loan.—The loan contemplated by
the new funding bill of Secretary Bontwell has
gone up. The Secretary has directed the Con
tinental Bank Note Company of New York to
discontinue printing bonds. So far two hun
dred millions have been printed and sixty-seven
millions are said to have been “taken.” But of
this amount, only seven millions have been
really subscribed for, and the balance has been
exchanged for other seonrities -held by tho na
tional banks. As a financial measure the new
loan is a “dead cook in the pit.”
The Growing Cotton Cbop.—A Herald special
from Washington dated 6 th, says:
The Department of Agriculture is preparing
to issue next week another report of the cotton
acreage of the Southern States and the general
condition of the crop. Returns already received
at the Department show a greater decrease in
the acreage than the report issued last month,
and it is believed that the lowest estimate al
ready given of the yield of the cotton crop for
1871 is not far ont of -the way.
Figtjbes show that there is abont twenty mil

Washington, ~3toy9.—The Medical Associa
tion postponed action regarding consultations
with diplomaed colored doctors to October, but
expelled Dr. D. W. Bliss for defiant language
and action regarding consultations with doctors
who had been rejected by the Medical- Society.
This complication arises from the fact that Bliss
consulted with Dr. Cox, whose application for
membership was rejected beoause ho aoted on
the Board of health of the Territory with a
homeopathist.
The United States and Mexican Commission,
to the case of Wesche vs. Mexico, the Commis
sion decided, with the concurrence of the um
pire, that a Prussian snbject naturalized as a
citizen of the United States subsequently to the
infliction of the injuries complained of, cannot
seek redress through the United States, under
the treaty instituting ’the Commission. The
claim was rejected for want of jurisdiction.
In the case of Belden & Co. vs. Mexico, the
Commission disagreeing in opinion,' the umpire
decided that the claimants are an American
oommerdal firm doing business at the time of
the injury complained of atMatamoias, Mexico,
and are entitled to an award:—the fact of com
mercial domicile in a foreign country not de
priving them of the right to Ameriean-protee-
tion—the amount of the award to be .-fixed by
the Commission.
Paeis, July 9.—The manifesto of tho Count
de Chambord is generally condemned in severe
terms by the press as calculated to increase the
agitation which it pretends to deprecate.
The Assembly, by 483 to 5, passed the bill

The barometer has risen on the California
coast, and is now falling ih the Southern and
Gulf States, after having risen quite high daring
the night. The low pressure which was, Satur
day evening, in the northwest, has moved east
ward, and is now central north of New England.
Its influence has extended northward to Virginia.
The -temperature has fallen somewhat on the
extreme east Atlantic, Lakes Michigan and On
tario and Lonisiana. Gentle, southerly winds
are reported on the sonth Atlantic, and fresh
northwesterly winds in the Middle and Eastern
States. Rainy and threatening weather has con
tinued in Louisiana. Threatening weather and
local storms are reported from upper Michigan,
Lake Erie, New York, Virginia and the Ohio
valley. Northeasterly winds prevail north and
west of Iowa, with light rataB in Wyoming.
Probabilities.—The barometer will probably
rise on the upper Lakes, with temporary clear
ing up weather Local rains and threatening
weather will probably continue east of Michigan
and Illinois, clearing away to some extent only
on Monday. Southwesterly winds, with local
rains, are probable for Monday in the interior
of the Gulf and south Atlantio States.
' Cotton Movements for the Week.'
New York, July 9.—The cotton movemont
shows a slight increase over last week in re
ceipts. Exports were unusually small even for
the season—the total being under 8,000 bales.
Receipts at all the ports for the week 18,468
bales, against 18,197 last week, 22,664 the pre
vious week, and24,04G three weeks since.- The
total receipts since September are 3,929,160
bales, against 2,835,607 bales for the corres
ponding period the previous year. Exports
from all tho ports for the week are 7,9U>b:i!cs,
against 25,125 the same week lost year. Total
exports for tho expired portion of the cotton
year 3,069,G4G bales against 2,099,513 the same
time last year. Stock at all the ports 180,7,11
bales, against 154,062 for the same time last
year. Stock at interior towns 17,954 bales,
against 35,033 last year. Stock in Liverpool
715,000 bales, against 574,000 last year. Amer
ican cotton afloat for Great Britain 103,000
bales, against 95,000 last year. Indian cotton
afloat for Europe 521,560 bales, against 401,546
last year. Weather reports from the South du
ring the week were more favorable to the grow
ing plant. Less rain has fallen, and the weath
er, to many sections, has been warm, and even
sultry. ’ ; • .
Cotton has been quiet and firm with a slight
advance at tho clo3o on spot cotton, and a con
siderable improvement to future contracts.—
Daring tho week tho announcement. wa3 mnao
from Washington, that a supplementary report
from the Agricultural Bureau would show a
further decrease to the yield, from the previous
estimate from the same source. Thi3 had but
little effect, as the reports from the South du
ring week were more favorable than for many
weeks past. The sales for the week reached
58,000 bales, of which 46,000 bales were for fu
ture delivery, and 12,000 bales on the spot and
to arrive. Of the spot cotton exporters took
about 1,100 bales, spinners abont 4,200, and
speculators 1,700 bales. The harvest in France
will fall below the annual average.
New Yobk, Jtoy 9.—Mischief is' brewing be
tween the Irish Catholics and the Orangemen,
which can hardly fail to result in a serious riot,
unless the authorities interfere. It is said tho
Orangemen have organized five thousand men

The coroner’s jnryinthe Newark accident
concludes their verdict as follows: “We, the
jnry, do say that tho misplaced switch was the
result of carelessness on the part of the switch

on their road, young and inexperienced men to
hold responsible positions.”

New Yobk,- Jtoy 10.—The Western division
of the. Western North Carolina Railroad Com
pany bring suit in tbe Supreme Court against
S. W. Hopkins & Co., to recover $800,000 on
an accepted order. The snit grew out of the
issuing of $400,000 of bonds of the 3tate of
North. Carolina to plaintiff, Geo. W.‘ Swepson,
who was President of the Company at the time,
and Milton S. Littlefield- It is alleged that the
bonds are in this city, and, with somewhat over
$1,000,000 of proceeds, he bought bonds of
some Florida Railroad Company, whioh were
afterwards consolidated, and which the Flor
ida Legislature offered' the State bonds
to exchange for first mortgage bonds ot
the consolidated company. These Florida bonds
were sent here to Hopkins & Co. for sale. The
State of North Carolina, however, appointed a
commissioner to examine into what has been
done with the bonds of tho North Carolina Rail
road Company, and it is alleged that under a
threat of orimiaal prosecution, Swepson & Lit
tlefield gave an order for $800,000 in favor of-
the North Carolina Railroad,’and offered’to
furnish iron for fifty three miles of that. road.
This order Hopkins & Co. accepted, but after
wards deolined to pay;. whereupon Sidney A.
Hopkins was arrested and placed under a $300,-
000 bond, to-day. Amotion was. made to .va
cate the order of arrest. It was argued by the
defence that Swepson & Littlefield had no right
to pay their own private debts terthe North Caro
lina Railroad with the proceeds of the sale of
bonds issued to the Florida Railroad Company
for a special purpose. Plaintiffs argue that by
accepting.the order, defendants were not in a
position to question plaintiff's right to the road.
Decision reserved on motion.

Washington, D. G., Jtoy 12, 7:40 p. h. j
The barometer has varied considerably on the
California coast, and fallen slightly at Rooky
Mountain stations and in the northwest. It has
risen bnt little from the Mississippi eastward,
and is still falling in New England. The tem-
parature has risen quite high on Lake Superior
and to nearly the same extent from northern
Ohio to southern Missouri. Southerly- winds
are now reported west of Mlohigan, and have also
prevailed during the day on the Gulf coast with
threatening weather in Northern Florida. Brin
ha3 fallen very generally from the Ohio river to
the middle and east Atlantio coast, bnt cloudy
and clearing weather have prevailed over that
region this afternoon.
Probabilities: Low barometer with fresh
winds from the south and southwest will proba
bly continue on the upper-Lakes. /A local rain
is probably advancing northeastward in west
ern Tennessee, and a light rain is probable for
to night, or Thursday from Florida to Sonth
Carolina. Partially cloudy and clear, weather
will probably continue in the Middle and. East
ern States.
A tbout, weighing 254 pounds has been taken,
with a hook, in Toupper’s Lake, Northern New

only recorded larger trout taken by hook is that
caught by the late Silas Stevens, of Albany,
thirty years ago, in Persico Lake. It weighed
33 pounds.”

The abnormal character of the seasons for
several months past in this region, has at length
given way to the usual routine of summer.
Cold nights, deluging rains, the pitiless Hail aQ( ]
hoe that plague of the farmer, have all yielded
to the potent rays of an almost vertical son.
The industrious are rapidly clearing their
fields ot grass, partial showers fail every day,
and the universal cry of bine ruin from the ele

On the whole, the - cotton erop has improved
rapidly of late, though many insist that more
than a half yield cannot be expected. This is
true where the stands are bad and the cultiva
tion has been defective. Bat where such are
the conditions,' a late fall will realize for the
planters two-thirds of an average production.
Corn, though injured, will be reared in larger
quantities throughout the country than at any
period since the war. The fruit trees are bend

and “garden , sass” generally are abundant.

These are still the engrossing theme of the
people, and speculation is rife as to the real
cause of the cessation of work on the Brunswick
and Albany Railroad from Cnthbert to Enfania.
We fonnd the public ignorant of the new move
on the checker board of President Hazlehurst,
which ensures a road from Hawkinsville, via
Amerious, to Eufaula. This, some believe,
will explain the change in Mr. Kimball’s taotics,
and not the failure to get the right of way, as
Is alleged. As was to be expected, Cnthbert is
jubilant, and Eufaula sore on the subject.
The ubiquitous H. I., in the mean time, has
resolved to tom his energies to the immediate
constrnotion of the northern section of the B.,
O. and Columbus road, from Cnthbert to Colum
bus. Five hundred hands will break ground on
the same forthwith. Where the money is to
come from is no business of ours. “Rah for
Kimball!” .

It is rnmored that Dr. Hamilton has resigned
tho Presidency of Andrew College.. At present
the rival towns within the limits of this Metho
dist Distriot are much exercised concerning the
location of the Male High School about to be
established. Cnthbert, Americas and Dawson
are all pressing their claims. The latter little
city offers to plank down $10,000 in cash, and
donate a beautiful site comprising 20 acres.
Neglected by the new railroad combinations,
she is yet a power within herself, and her more
pretentious rivals must bestir themselves of
lose tho tempting prize.
It always affords us pleasure to note and

In Dawson this is especially the case. ‘A few

each, can be turned ont, and - orders even from

THE PENNSYLVANIA MANIFESTO.
Address of tbe Democratic Executive Com
mittee of tbe Keystone State—Tbe Polit
ical Issnes of tbe Day Clearly and Strong
ly Stated—A Powerful Pape* by'Hon.
Jeremlab Blade.
The following are the material portions of (he
address to the Democracy of Pennsylvania by
the Democratic Executive Committee of that
State. The paper was preparedby ex-Secretary
Jeremiah S. Black: :
The Exeontive Committee of the Democracy
of tMs State, to whom the following address
was referred by the recent State Convention,
now present the same to yon as embodying
some of the reasons which actuate and control
the organization they repreaent: We here sol
emnly renew onr often-repeated declaration of
fidelity to the great principles upon which our
party has acted from the time of its first organ
ization. -Onr ultimate objects are those of onr
fathers when they adopted the Federal Consti
tution, viz: “To form a more perfect union,
to establish justice, to insure domestic tran
quility, to promote the general welfare, to pro
vide for the common defenoe, and secure the’
blessings of liberty to ourselves and our pos
terity.” We sincerely believe that the Govern
ment of the United States, administered as it
was in former days, with a direct view to the
advancement of these principles, would do for ns
and for our children all that any people can rea
sonably desire from the political system under
which they live. We are equally sure that
if not oarried ont in the spirit of those by whom
it was framed it must become a curse instead
of a blessing. Situated as we are, obedience to
the fundamental law means not only the honest
performance of sworn obligation^ bnt freedom,
peace, and prosperity to all classes of the peo
ple. On the other hand, tbe usurpation of on-
delegated power is not only a crime in itself,
bdt the frnitfto parent of other crimes, and will
lead, as it has already led, to indefinite misgov-
ernment, corruption, and tyranny, subverting
all liberty, and rendering the rights of all men
inseoure. When we speak of the Federal Con
stitution, we mean the whole instrument, with
all its amendments, and acknowledge the equal
obligation of every part. Several of those
amendments were carried by brute force and by
frauds upon the publio will so glaring as to take
from, their authors all claim upon our respect.
But we cannot deny that they have actually be-
come a part of the Constitution; nor can we
avoid that faot, nor get behind it, bv showing
the corrupt misconduct of the men who at that
time controlled Congress and mastered the State
Legislatures. Whosoever swears to support tbs
Constitution must perform all that is “nomi
nated in the bond.” Any change which expe
rience and reason shall prove to be desirable
must be made in the prescribed way, and not
by revolutionary and disorderly means.
THE DECLARATION OF 1871.
No candid person will deny that the leading
men in power at Washington have been unfaith
ful to their duties. They have broken the
pledges they made to the people, and, in reck
less disregard of their oaths, they have violated
the plainest previsions of the constitution.—
They have deprived the States of their sacred
right of self-government in matters purely local,
and disarmed them of the power to enforce
their own laws for the preservation of order
within their own boundaries. They have passed
bills of pains and penalties, operating on mil
lions at onoe, without regard to the guilt or in-
nooense of the parties. They have trampled on
all the seonrities of life, liberty and property.
They have treated the habeas corpus law with
contempt, and denied the right of trial by jnry.
They have sent ont swarms of their hireling

their authors have followed out this lWrS?
oy, step by step, with a persistency which
shows tW fixed determination for thefutom
as m the past, to be bound by no oath and 5
bymo promise. The two last and most imrort
ant of their anti-oonstitutional measures
more distinctly than others their settled desk!
■to strangle the liberties of the nation, aadfcg
perpetual power into their, own hands. Th„
force biU authorizes the President, not onlylo
invade States at hia pleasure, but by deckr
Ing martial law to subvert all government^
cept what oonsists of.hia mere will Under th,»
eleotion law ha cannon is planted directly
against the freedom of State elections. Alreafll
the bayonets of the executive have gleamed
around the polling plaoesinthe cities of Key
Yoik and Philadelphia. Who can mistake the
meaning of these preparations for the ner'l
Presidential election? - Who doubts that wars'I
ing and rebuke are needed now to prevent th; I
administration from carrying out its purpose!
by force ? If the warning be not given by t'
people or fail of its proper effeot, can we fco r ,
for peace ? It seems to us an error to suppoJ
the American people tame enough to be kicked
under the yoke of 'a despotism, or ignorant;
enough to be juggled out of the great inherit
ance of free government wMch the fathers 1
them. - . •
ROTTENNESS OF, SHE ADMINISTRATION.
We complain of onr present rulers for Li-
less usurpation of power. Power not delega
is always abused. In thus, as in other caa
usurpation has been accompanied and follov
by corruption. Frauds without number, a.
almost without limit, have been committed o,
tbe public. Men of the worst character f j
common honesty are permitted to occupy!
highest places. Of the money collected fri
the people, and not stolen before it reaches L
Treasury, a large portion is squandered by Coq
grass on party favorites or corrupt rings, a
on base combinations of pnblio plunders:..
The 'enormons extent to whioh this financiii
corruption has been carried will become mail
fest to anyone who compares the expenditure
of the Government dnring the six years whiu
followed the civil war. Both were periods a
peace, and there can be no excuse formore thu
a small increase corresponding to the ratioiJ
which the population has advanced. But wheri
the ordinary expenditures for the fiscal yeJ,
ending June 1, 1870, exclusive of Indian ans:^
ities, pen8ions,-and interest on the pnblio deb
were $148,669,922.43. for the year ending Jc
1, I860, the expenditures- for the same purpt
were bnt $55,918,188.72. Hero is shown t
difference between the ordinary cost of car
ing on our Government when’its agents a-j
honest, and tho cost of the same thing when if
officers are so destitute of moral principle as j
disregard all legal limitations upon their oif
authority. A free, unperverted representative
government is simple in its machinery, easij
maintained, and “dispenses its blessings Uli
the dews of Heaven, unseen and unfelt, save:
the beauty and freshness they contribute :
produce;” the secure tranquillity of a regale
tablisbment may sometimes be a.compensatid
for the burdens it imposes, but a rotten repel
lie is at once the most costly, the most oppres
sive, and tho most unsteady of all poi'.tia
structures. * * *
.. - -THE ISSUES.
It will surely be admitted that all Americ:
citizens who believe these facts to be true i
bound by the sacred obligations of patriotis
honor, and conscience to oppose this state ti
things, and by opposing end it The person
interested in preventing a change will ask hoyl
to what extent, and by what means we prop
to make reforms. The question is a fair oi
and wo will answer it briefly. It will be
duty of the Democratic party, and, to the
tent of onr authority, original or delegated,
hereby pledge ourselves and our associates,
far as in us lies— -
1. To put the sMp of state once again gr
constitutional tack and hold her head firmly
steadily to that course.
2. To protect the individual citizens of
parties, classes, and creeds in the enjoyment
life, liberty, property, reputation, and the
snit of their lawful business, by an imp
administration of jnstice in the ordained
established courts.
3. To preserves the power of (he general
emment in their whole constitutional vigor
onr sole, defenoe against foreign aggressii
the safest bond of union between different
tions of the country and the only sure pro:
of general prosperity.
4. To maintain, unimpaired, the rese:
rights of the States, not only because they
guaranteed by the Federal Constitution, bnt
cause the States alone can safely be tn
with the management of their own local
cents.
5. To reduce the expenditures of the govi
meat by confining its appropriations to leg'll
mate objects, by a rigid system of accounts!'
ityand economy, and by abolishing mncli
the unnecessary and pernicious machinery^
which it is now encumbered.
6. To moderate the burdens of the peoj
not only by economical administration, bs(
a system of taxation upon foreign import
well as domestic productions, which shall"
just apd equal in its operation npon the ;
eity and business of the country, not enrt
some while it impoverishes other, and not o;
to the frauds now habitually practiced.
7. To preserve the public credit by
prompt payment of the publio obligations.
8. To oonsecrate the publio lands to the
of the landless people who need it by a ef
whioh will secure a sufficiency to all, and
at once the long series of swindles by whies |
many millions of acres have been given away
those who already have more than enough.
These are some of the duties which lie be- :
the people if they deairo to see their gove
ment administered with a decent respect for
Constitution of their fathers or with tolc
honesty in financial matters.
We have "ho test of orthodoxy, no disahffl
for nor -discrimination against former poll-
antagonists. Wo cannot and do not cbjec.
bygone differences, provided the citizen be t
and faithfully devoted now to the interests
institutions of the whole country and all tbe
habitants thereof.
Onr object is not revolntion, bnt restore
not injury to onr opponents, but an assei
of onr own rights and those of our fellow-
zens.
