Carrying Concealed Weapon's. The papers
State that Governor Senter, of Tennessee, has
deolared ho will not pardon any person convicted
of carrying or using concealed weapons. This
determination, we think, is justified by the ait-
nation. Since the termination of the war, the
practice of carrying a concealed armory of
deadly weapons about the person has been quite
too general, and has been fruitful of misohief.
Among the negroes, particularly, it has been
very mischievous. The ambition to own and
“tote” pistols, has been almost universal, and,
as a consequence, quarrels very often take the
shape of murderous affrays. And the statute is
so inadequately enforced that we dare say many
of the colored race are ignorant of the fact that
carrying arms seoretly is an indictable offence.
It is time now to tom over a new leaf,- and
juries, courts and executive officers should make
offenders smart, whenever they can find a
chance.
As Albany paper says: “A North Adams man
named Hawley, who was a school-teacher in
Mississippi, has just returned home, and tell3 a
fearful story of persecution at the hand of tho
Ku-klnx. He says that, notwithstanding the
fact that he was lying low with fever, he was.
called np at night and ordered to leave the State
instantly. He was not even permitted to take
his trunk with him.” That’s always the way
with them. "Whenever a carpet-bagger acci
dently learns that the tracks around the hen
roost lit his, and that the Constable i3 in search
of him, he hurries away to the North and reports
that the Ku-klnx had ordered him to leave the
State at once, not even permitting him to lake
his trank with him. - Ten chances to one tho
North Adams man, like the rest of them, had no
trunk to take with him.—Courier-Journal.
The Broad and Nabbow Guage.—A writer in
tho World says the dead weight to the passen
ger on the New York Central amountedlast year
to a ton and a half. It was 306,250,000 pourfis-
to 200,000,000 passengers. The old stage coach
carried one-third of a ton of dead weight to
every ton of passengers. Tho weight of a com
mon passenger car on a 4 feet 8J inch gauge
road is 82,000 pounds. On freight "traffic the
dead weight averages abont 50 per cent. On
tho London and Northwestern Boad investiga
tion established the fact that it took forty mil
lion tons of engines and cars to banl ten mil
lion tons of merchandise—making the propor
tion of non-paying freight os one to four. On
the narrow gauge Mr. Fairlie estimates that
three tons of merchandise can be carried by one
ton of car weight.
A New Fertilizer.—The Newark Advorliser
tells of a Jerseyman who has leased two miles
of beach, and, in the months of May and Jnne,
captnros millions of the horse-shoe crab—a
worthless creature which comes ashore by myri
ads in those months to inenbate, and is, no donbt,
familliar, at least in respect to its empty shell
of horse-shoe shape, with a long, sharp, horny
tail, to most of our readers. These crabs are
stacked np to die, and lose four-fifths of their
weight in drying. They are then ground to a
flour, and sell readily at 830 per ton. The sub
stance is called cancerine, and is a valuable fer
tilizer.
Bowen and thenegroRepresentativeDeLarge
have, it is said, arranged their difficulties. It
is reported that DeLarge will withdraw from
Congress and yield the contest to Bowen, tho
pardoned ox-membor. This is supposed to be
from the knowledge that tho proof of frand on
the part of bis friends in tho election is incon-
testible. DeLarge, it is said, will accept the
position of Fostmaster or Collector of the port,
if the President will appoint him.
The accounts from Persia are horrible. Fam
ine, cholera, iyphus fever and plague are raging,
and foreigners have fled the country. The
grave yards are guarded to prevent the survi
vors from satiating the pangs of hunger on the
bodies of the freshly dead. Surely, such misery
is unexampled. Bat famine is the parent of all
physical ills—it is almost sure to bring pesti
lence in its train, and war, as the originator of
famime generally, (though not in this case)
leads the speotral triad.
The "Viaduct Bait-way.—Tho first report of
survey was made last Monday. It proposes two
routes from the City Hall to Harlem, with four
tracks each—two for fast through trains stop
ping only every two miles, and making the dis
tance in twenty minutes, and two for slower
trains stepping every half mile. Branch roads
will also be bailt to the battery. It is estimated
that each branch from the City Hall to Harlem
will cost 822,500,000, and the aggregate income
be 89,500,000.
Fbeioht which left New York per steamer
San Salvador on Sunday morning, July 23, for
Macon, and whieh came via Savannah and Cen
tral Railroad, was delivered to consignees in
Macon on the morning of Thursday Jnly 27, in
four days, being one day faster than the ship
ment from Baltimore to Macon via Charleston,
noted in a late issue of the Telegraph and
Messenger.
Macon and Knoxville Connec
tion.
We print on the outside of this issue, an arti
cle from the Knoxville Press and Herald, of
Thursday, which will be of interest to our read
ers, generally, as showing the spirit of the peo
ple of that city and section, and their deep
interest in the proposed connection between
Macon and Knoxville by means of the Oemulgee
and North Georgia Bailroad.
We also, on yesterday, had a call from Col.
Jerry Cowles, of this city, the projector and un
tiring worker for the proposed road, who has
just returned from Knoxville,. and was kind
enough to communicate some interesting infor
mation with regard to the prospects of the road.
While nothing definite as to its construction has
been yet settled, still there are well grounded
reasons for believing that the project.ia-very
favorably regarded by parties with ample means
to put the whole line through. These parties
(Canadians) who have their headquarters at Chi
cago, and who are now building the North Pacifio
Bail way, have recently sent out two eminent
engineers for the purpose of surveying tbs pro
posed route of the road, and upon their report
a decision will be made. The 12 ih of August
is the day named for the decision, so that, with
in two weeks, we shall know what the road’s
prospects for bnilding are, so far, at Iea3t, as
the Chicago capitalists are concerned.
CoL Cowles, who passed over the route from
Covington to the Ducktown Copper Mines with
these engineers, says they were, in the main,
perfectly satisfied with the survey heretofore
made to Lawrenceville, and that they were also
most favorably impressed with the character
and quantity of the resources of the country
through which the road will pass. It is reason
able to believo that their report will be highly
favorable, and that 'the action of tho Chicago
partie3 will be correspondingly influenced by it
in the right direction. Col. Cowle3 represented
the feeling of tho people of the various coun
ties along the line of survey as most heartily
favorable to the road, and every assistance,
such as fnrnisbing guides, giving information,
etc., was most cordially rendered. As stated in
the article from the Press and Herald, the Duck
Town Copper Mining Company have offered to
subscribe 8500,000 towards the road if run by
that point, and there is little reason to donbt
that this subscription would not bo materially
increased, as the road would give them a rail,
way outlet and transportation which they how
have to seek at Cleveland, forty miles away.
In the event that the road seeks Knoxville lb
that point (Cleveland) tho mining company will
transfer to tho road, free of cost, a broad, well
graded dirt road, which they have, at great ex
pence, dug out of the side of the mountain,- and
over which all their ore is hauled to Cleveland.
•This, of course, would greatly lessen the con
struction of the railway between those two
points.
Bat time and space forbid farther comment
on this subject at present. As citizens of Ma
con we do now, and have always cordially fa
vored the bnilding of this road, not altogether
because we deemed its construction sure to
prove of great benefit to Macon and Macon in
terests, but because it seemed certain to prove
of vast advantage to the State at large. South
west Georgia buys meat, com and mules from
the "West, and the more competition there is in
lines of transportation between the two sections
the cheaper will be freight rates, of course, and
the greater the benefit to both seller and buyer.
It appears, then, that in this respect the road will
prove a most important one to the great plant
ing interests of Southern and Southwestern
Georgia. Tho incalculable advantages that it
will confer upon the people of North and North
eastern Georgia, so long shut out from commu
nication with the outside world are too appa
rent, and plead with too eloquent a voice to
need any words from ns here. When it is re
membered what giving them a market-will do
towards developing their immense-mineral and
other resources, and thus adding to the general
aggregate of the taxable property of the State,
it seem3, indeed, a work of supererogation to
advance one single argument or make a solitary
plea in favor of the road from that standpoint.
We hopo to be able to announce, very soon, that
the construction of the Ocmnlgee and North
Georgia Bailroad is a fact, the accomplishment
of which is only a matter of time and muscle.
The foundations of Vanderbilt’s great Hud
son Biver freight depot which occupies the site
of the old St. Johns Park, are partially giving
way under the immense'weight of storage and
are now being renewed at a great expense.- The
iron pillars which sustain the central portions
are now being placed on a substructure of heavy
stone carved thirteen feet below the level of the
street.
Fboijo or the Heavy Weights.—The New
York “Heavy Men’s Association” held a grand
clam-bake last week. Not a man was there who
weighed less than the minimum 200, but there
were no ladies. Now, tho next time the heavy
weights have a pic-nio, let them send down to
Georgia and they can be matched with ladies to
correspond—real queenly, august 200 pounders,
and not obese either.
Cuba.—The New Minister of Spain yesterday
resolved to pat down the Caban insurrection at
any cost of life or money. There is a lively
atory in the dispatches abont a force of 7,000
filibusters, Canadian and American, getting
ready to sail from New York in two or three
weeks. They will hardly get off on that length
of previous notice.
North Biter on Fire.—A brig loaded with
petroleum took lire, and was sculled and sunk
in North Biver on S on day night. The pretrolenm,
floating on the surface of the water, took fire,
and tho flames spread np and down a mile in
extent, presenting, for more than twenty-four
hours, the novel apeotaclo of a river on fire. '
Heligoland.—The German press says, growl
W the British lion may, Germany is bound to
have Heligoland. It is part of the “Faderland”
and must be forthcoming, hit or miss.

Kimball Currency Again.
A correspondent of the Cuthbert Appeal joins
issue with ns, because we complain of the Kim
ball money and recommend farmers not to
hoard it.
In this the writer is by no means singnlar, as
he has heard contractors and prominent mer
chants of Cuthbert quite a3 emphatic as him
self in their expressions concerning it No per
sonal objection is songht to be raised, either
against Mr. Kimball or the Brunswick ond Al
bany Boad. We sincerely trust the former will
be" able to redeem the last cent of his obliga
tions.
Bat this is not tho question. The contractors,
mechanics and laborers engaged in tha bnilding
of the road, set in to work for money, real, bona
fide money, which they could spend in any mar
ket, or. lay. aside, if they chose, for “a rainy
day.” We submit whether they can do this with
the “white money” they receive,
The writer in the Appeal says, “so far as J.’s
suppositions go, they apply to every business
that has been started by mortals. Bisk is a sure
alternative; with all due deference, it sounds old-
womanish to be supposing this, that or the other
enterprise should fail.” We like the “go it blind”
pluck of our friend, but can’t see why all the
risk should bo on one side. Sorely, no one will
say Mr. Kimball, with the great State of Geor
gia at his back, and gold-bearing bonds to the
extent of $22,000 per mile in hand, to pay for
a road that will not cost half at the amount, in
curs any risk? Then, why not purchase na
tional currency and pay Ms employees in the
lawful money of the country ?
The argument “there is room enough for ali
now afloat of all kinds,” (alluding to the Kim
ball issue,) is best met by reference to'the price
of gold, and the constant efforts of the Gov
ernment to reduce tho volume of onr inflated
currency. True, being “valueless abroad,” it
can only affect the localities where it passes
current. Bnt these localities oonstitnte the
world of those who inhabit them; and are they
to be denied the common blessing of a proper
medium of exchange, such ns the law has pro
vided for them? As to the “convenience" of
these bills, they do serve admirably to drain
the country of its fractional currency, if this
be regarded a convenience.
In conclusion, we trnst that our Cuthbert
friend will banish, at once and forever, the idea
that either Macon or the writer can be forced
into any antagonism with his beautiful City.
God grant that Bhe may become the flourishing
centre, not only of a system of railroads, bnt
the radiating point of intelligence, edacation
and refinement in that whole region of opnntry.
Cotton Stealings.—The Commercial Adver
tiser says the cotton dealers are casting abont
to find some remedy for the immense loss of
weight, occasioned by pilfering from the bale by
vagabonds, big and little. One plan suggested
is the concentration of the cotton at a few points
where it can be under surveillance ell the time.
It is proposed to establish great warehouses at
Commnnipaw, Bed Hook and at the Atlantic

THE LONG BRANCH CAUCUS.
The Two Alternatives—A Galvanised Ha
itian or a General Amnesty and Over
flowing Love.
Onr readers know that some days ago there
was a gathering of several of the B&dioal Saints
from the South and elsewhere, at the Long
Branch"villa of His Excellency, the President
of the United States—certain prominent North-
em engineers, among whom was the sagacious
Forney, and a liberal sprinkling of Southern
Fnglemen, among whom was Gov. Bollock, of
Georgia.
The business on hand was to compare views
upon the issues and. tactics for the grand cam
paign of 1872, and, of course, this interesting
party did not sit with open doors. Bat it is hard
to congregate even nq very large crowd without
finding some leaky vessel among the number;
and there was"one such leaky vessel at this con
clave—a person singularly described as “a New
England politician from Florida.” TMs man
could not bold in, but found a vent somewhere
on the road homeward and disclosed the conclu
sions of the oonclave.
The line of battle had been badly disarranged
by the “new departure”—so-called. The plan
elaborated and digested by Morton, Butler,
Forney and others, had th9 merit of entire har
mony with the feelings and precedents of the
Badical organization. - It cost them no sacrifice
of inclination or good will to pursue a system
of bitter and unsparing warfare upon the
whites of the South, and there was not one par
ticle of doubt that it could be prosecuted with
triumphant success so long as the Southern
wMtes arrayed themselves against any of the
so-called *fruits of the war.” Anything wMch
could be tortured into a sectional opposition to
that great seotional victory was, at least, a gage
of moral battle—a virtual prolongation of the
fight, in which Southern defeat was a foregone
conclusion, and wherein all Northern supporters
and sympathizers would unfailingly share the
common overthrow.
The misfortune of the situation was that in
order to put tHs war in a line of vigorous pros
ecution the strategy had to be exposed. There
must be a Ku-klnx bill and Ku-klnx committees
and investigations,, and a long array of violences
and cruelties towards the “Southern Unionists,
black and wMte, proved and printed, to show
beyond controversy that the pertinacious resist
ance of the South to tho constitutional amend
ments had its origin, not in any abstract politi
cal principles, but in rebellious and malignant
purposes. - ,■
The parade of all this enginery in advance
disclosed the plan of battle, and rendered strat
egy impossible. Hence, after Grant bad foroed
the Kn-klnx bill through Congress, he started
immediately out on his Western tour with Mor
ton, and boldly resolved to pin the issue of a
fight against these amendments upon the Dem
ocratic party. But the prompt declarations of
the Northern Democrats that they would make
no fight against these amendments, however
corruptly obtained, disgruntled the whole ar-
rangement
One great object of this meeting of Southern
and Northern “representative Bepnblicans,”
was to hear particularly from'the former whether
tho Southern whites were likely to push opposi
tion to the “new departure” to the point of
schism, and how heavy a Ku-klnx indictment
could bo made out against the Southern white?
The inforination on either hand was not very
gratifying or as promising as could be desired;
but still it left a fair chance of success open.
It was determined, therefore, for the present,
to rest on the established order of battle and
proceed, might and main, to “galvanize the
Ku-klux,” (that was the expression,) with all
the appliances, energy and activity at the com
mand of the party. Before the end of the next
session of Congress it could be seen what effect
these operations were likely to prodace on the
Northern mind. If they were likely to reawaken
and intensify the war spirit and sectional con-
tempt, and hatred and distrustr-nothing better
conld be desired. The campaign conld then go
on according to Morton’s original draft, and
wonld be a reappeal to every feeling of the
North wMch was enlisted and exasperated by
the bloody strifes of 1861-5. The report of the
majority of the Ku-klux Committee eould be
backed before the people with all the resources
of pictorial art. Pictures of the hanging and
whipping of negroes—of burning school houses
and defenceless Northern school manna, fleeing
before the intonated Ku-klux, could hardly fail
to stimulate Northern exasperation almost to
madness and overwhelm the Demooratio apolo
gists and sympathizers with popular loathing;
But, on the other hand,"it was not to bo dis
guised that the loyal witnesses, so far before the
Committee, were of snch a character as to de
tract from the force of their testimony; and
there appeared to be a growing inclination
among the Northern voters to qoiet sectional
animosities—let by-gones be by-gones, and re
store the era of sectional good-fellowship and
fraternity. If, unfortunately, this feeling should
be likely to frostrate, the Morton plan of bat
tle-nothing then remained but a “new depart
ure more striking than any conceived by the
Democrats.
The demand for a restoration of fraternal
feelings most be met by the Badicals with a
programme of the broadest and most liberal
charaoter. They most proclaim at once univer
sal amnesty and the restoration of confidence
and love. They mnst throw away the Kn-klux
enginery and buy np and conciliate a strong
wMte following in the Sonth. There wonld be
ample time for the National Bepublioan Con-
vcDlion to proclaim this grand revolution in the
public polioy, and for the administration to fol
low suit with honied words and gilded palms to
the despised and down-trodden wMtes of the
Southern States. Thus, without losing the ne
gro following, they wonld supplement it power
fully in the Sonth, and at the same lime they
conld appeal to the North and say, “ having re
stored Southern peace and order on the basis of
universal equality, we are now abont to Eecnre
Southern love and gratitnd9. We havo used
the rod successfully. We now tender the olive
branch.”
These, in brief, were the two grand alterna
tive proposed and adopted by the Presidential
conclave at Long Branch, as we have good rea
son-to believe.
THE HEORHKA FRESH.
An Old Document.—A friend came across,
the other day, an old pampHet (1858) being a
design for laying out the Central Park in New
York city, with a plan in lithograph, by
Samuel L Gnstin, now of this city. [We will
save Mr. Gostin’s modesty by saying that he
knows noticing abont this notice.) TMs plan
developes the Park very mhch as it now exists.
Itwasrejected,because considered too extensive
and costly; bnt it received the second premium,
and subsequently nearly all the ideas of Mr. G.
were adopted—even to the * extension wMch
he planned. Mr. G. is a first-rate landscape
gardener, and is extending Ms aid to beantify
the Fair Grounds in Uus city, as far as means
will permit.

Church at Atlanta, , has "deolinel to accept, as he

We dip the following items from tho Colum
bus Son, of Thursday: .
Why Cannot Othjses jk> Likewise ?—The idea
is prevalent throughout tho Gulf States, that,
in order to raise Irish potatoes in onr section,
the seed must be procured each year from the
North or at least some cooler climate than our
own. This is very erroneous, judging from
what we have seen and been told. Yesterday,
Mr. J&6b Burras showed ns in Ms establishment
a bushel of "Irish potatoes, each as large as a
man’s fist. They had been purchased of Mr.
Mossman, who has a place in Bussell county,
Alabama These potatoes are in turn successors
to seed wMch Mr. Mossman purchased ten years
ago. He preserves seed from Ms own crop each
season. He places^ such. as he wishes to save,
spread out in a dry cellar. He says to raise
large potatoes the seed must be large; but if a
hill full be desired, seed of hickory nut size is
best. He has about an acre in Irish potatoes
wMdh yields one hundred bnshels. These he
sells at $2 00@$2 40 per bushel, thus realizing
$200@$240 to the acre. This is equivalent to
two and a half bales of cotton at 20oper pound.
Mr. Mossman ought to exMbit specimens of Ms
potatoes at our Fair next fall.
Cattle Sold.—Twelve head were sold yester
day on commission, by Captain J. A. Cody, for
$170. They were small specimens of the beef
tribe, and netted about three hundred ponnds.
Two were virtually thrown in. The farmers in
this immediate neighborhood are bringing more
cattle to IMs market than ever before. The
variety, however, resembles the lean Mne of
Egypt we sometimes read of.' Money is realized
and teeth are practiced.
The board of referees appointed to deoide
the controversy between the Tax Beceiver of
Richmond county and the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Bailroad, as to the value of the
real estate owned in the county by that corpo
ration, have decided against the road. They
deoide that the property in question should be
estimated at $75,000, instead of $40,000.
It is not a very healthy sign that the City
Council of Augusta have passed a resolution to
enlarge the cemetery down there.
The Chronicle and Sentinel say s there are over
one hundred youths from that vicinity now stu
dents in colleges in other States, not inoluding
fifteen or twenty receiving an education in Can
ada. We entirely agree with that paper that
“this faot points to the necessity of having a
single well endowed institution, wMch will com
mand the respect and compel the patronage of
bur own citizens.”
Mbs. Sfsaoui’s Dress.—Six and a half yards
of French silk—eighteen thousand dollars. The
papers make this item the text for abundant
homilies on female extravagance—bnt who
would not like to ste the French silk which
eopt $2,768 per yard? BHi$B!yjtmust be fine

Mr. F. Douglas, of Blackahear, was before
United States Commissioner Wayne, at Savan
nah, on Wednesday, charged with passing coun
terfeit money—two $20 notes—on a dealer in
iron railing in that city. The Advertiser, from
which we quote, tMnks Mr. D. will clearly es
tablish his innocence.
The Savannah New3 of Thursday gives (he
history, now drawing to a close, of one of those
“smart” individuals from the North who came
South after the war to teach our people how to
farm, and settled near that city. It says:
The planter in question was a captain of a
negro company, under that prince of raiders,
Sherman, in his “march to tho sea,” and after
wards became a Bureau Agent. Becoming in
fatuated, as we have said, with tho idea of own
ing a “big plantation,” and controlling a gang
of negroes, be negotiated with a gentleman for
the purchase of Ms place, at the price demand
ed, viz; $28,000; one-third to be paid in cash,
the balance in one and two years. These facts
he communicated to his relatives North, who
sent Mm $10,000 to commonco Ms fortune as a
Southern planter. The bargain was closed; he
proceeded to employ his hands, paying from
twelve to fifteen dollars per month; planted
seventy-five or one hundred aores in cotton,
and went in for a big crop. Thinking the soil
was not sufficiently productive to yield as fine
cotton as he desired, or S3 much of it, he usod
expensive fertilizers freely. Ho felt comforta
ble and happy; he was now on the road to
riches, munificence and importance. At the
end of the first year the Maine-Georgia planter
did not gather a single bale of cotton. The last
installment on his purchase became dno a short
time ago; he tried, unsuccessfully, to raise the
amount, $500, necessary to prevent the fore
closure of the mortgage, when a neighbor, a
Sonthem sufferer, assumed the payment and
satisfied the demands of Ms oreditor.
Standing with him in the field one day last
spring, Ms neighbor noticed a very fertile spot
of ground lying out, overran with dewberry
vines, and asked Mm the meaning of it. Ho
remarked that it produced berries very finely,
and he expected to sell a' great many of them in
thq market. He did so, and it actually sup-
sorted him during the blackberry season. Bnt
bis last speculation rained Ms hopes. In con
versation with his neighbor, he noticed that he
had a great many watermelons, and asked why
he (the neighbor) did not send them to "market.
He replied that he conld not get more than ten
cents a piece for them. He offered that much
immediately. His offer was acoepted, and he
hanled Ms melons to market, where he was last
seen offering them to purchasers at eight cents
apiece. We can imagine what that Yankee’s
opinion of farming in Georgia with free ne
groes is by this time.
Ohas. Obadiah Johnson, a notorious Griffin
scallawag, has sued the Atlanta Sun for $25,000
worth of defamation of character. If he gets
25 cents he will realize at least 100 per cent, on
his capital stock of that description.
Greene county hurrahs over two open cotton
bolls—the earliest ever known in that county.
Dr. MeJunkin, an old .and highly respected
citizen of Greene county, died last Saturday.
The Atlanta Era speaks some words of sober
ness and truth to the firemen, in connection
with Judge Lochrane’s recent decision. It says:
Get a bill drafted, and sb soon as the next
Legislature assembles, have it presented. Make
it briof and general; enacting that all Iona fide
firemen on active duly shall have certain privi
leges and immunities, among them exemption
from jnry duty. This will be passed without a
murmur, and the question set at rest.
Mrs. Sarah Maxwell, of Griffin, died last
Wednesday.
We find the following items in the Griffin
Georgian, of yesterday:
It has became onr unpleasant dnty to record
an instance of barbarous cruelty that wonld
shock the nerves of a Hottentot.
The author of this cruelty, is one Pink Dupree,
of Piko county, and the victims of Ms brutality
are his two children, one eight years of age and
the other ten. He commenced his work of
devilment by first taking these cMldreh from
their grand-parent, in Mississippi, (to whose
special care they had been given by a dying
mother to raise and educate) with the under
standing that he would carry them to a town
near by. and make them some presents, and
return with them. But instead of returning with
them he brought them to Georgia, where they
have been the special recipients of Ms cruelty.
These two boys were brought into our offloe.
We examined them. The tips of. their thumbs
and fingers had the appearance of being mashed.
They were blue from bruises, and the nails of
several had come off. The boys on befog asked
the cause of these mashed flngors, replied that
their father had split a pole and put their fin
gers in the split, and pulled out the wedge,
saving them in the clamp. One of them had a
peculiar mark on his nose that had the appear
ance of having been in a place Similar to that in
which the fingers were clamped, and the little
boy did not hesitate to assert that his father had
placed his nose in the clamp. The other one
added that he had placed his tongue in the
clamp, and showed it to the crowd A piece
had been cut out. The scar of the clamp could
be readily seen. Besides these marks of'bru
tality, two great, gaping soars on the breast of
one, and a back, black from'bruises, was shown

Bust in Cotton.—We are reliably informed
that rust has made its appearance on several
plantations in Butts oounty, and is likely to re
sult disastrously to the growing cotton crop. On
one plantation, particularly, this side of Jack-

Business in Columbus.—The Sun saya suffi
cient city returns of the last quarterly sales
have come in to show that they are 18 percent,
less than the same time last year. Some deal
ers, however, report a greater amount than dur
ing the quarter in 1870. This shows, however,
that much more goods have been disposed of—
about 7 per cent, more—because prices are at
least 25 per cent, less than they were last year.
Tho decrease is especially marked in corn and
bacon.

The Politicians.
The HerakLof Tuesday has a page of inter
viewing. A. K. McClure—a leading Badical of
Pennsylvania—says the new departure means
misohief—especially if the Bepnblicans renom
inate Grant. He thinks Grant will be nomina
ted, bnt Ms re-election will, be quite another
question. It is donbtfnl whether he oan carry
Pennsylvania, and if re-elected it-will be only
through the unpardonable stupidity of the Dem
ocrats. McClure says the Democrats would cany
Philadelphia this fall, if they could only get a
fair oonnt, bnt the election machinery is in the
hands of the Badioals, and they can connt the
votes or not, just as they please; and they
won’t please.
The galliant Forney says Giant will be renom
inated, and re-elected, too. He predicted that
in 1867 and of course it is bound to happen.
Forney sajB the new departure will hurt the
Democracy by breeding discord.
Cameron says the new departure don’t amount
to anytMng. It might have done harm two
years ago, bnt it is now too late. Grant will be
renominated and re-eleoted.
Governor Geary thinks the result in Pennsyl
vania is.donbtfol. It depends upon how the
Bepnblicans conduct themselves. It is a good
sign to see the Democrats accepting the situa
tion. The coming contest pats him in mind of
the canvass of 1852, when there was little to
choose between parties.
Ex-Senator Hendricks had- been bo busy with
Ms law practice that he had not kept the ran of
politics. He wonld make no effort to get a
nomination, bnt would run if nominated. He
thought the new departure wonld be generally
accepted. It is folly to be always going back
to dead issues. We mnst take things as we
find them. It was not to be expected -thait a
movement of this character would meet with
universal approbation, bnt all will come right
in time. The Badicals would ran Gnrat be
cause they had no other available man, but
he wlil not be so good a candidate as in 1868.
The Herald also interviews Morton at home,
bat his position as central wire-puller and sense-
keeper to General Grant will be easily antici
pated. ■

“Rejected Communications.”
The New York Tribune, of Tuesday, has an
editorial on the subject of “Rejected Comma*
nications,” from wMch we quote the following:
“A great majority of all people who know how
to "read and write, besides many who certainly
do not know how to write—are possessed at
some period of their lives, with a morbid impulse
to contribute to the newspapers. They are
persuaded that any man oan write a leader if
be chooses, and that the faculty of saying what
the people want to hear in a style suited both
totiie subject" and the audience comes by na
ture to all graduates of a district schooL It is
an amiable 'hallucination whioh repeated fail*
urea and rebuffs are rarely able to dispeL The
young persons who believe they have a mission
to write verses, the women who want to sup
port themselves by selling “compositions” to
the newspapers, and the seores of people with
bees in their bonnets who visit editors’ offices
with ponderous essays on incomprehensible sub
jects, are still more serious afflictions than the
mere amateur publicists. Now, more than
ninety per cent, of the articles offered for ac
ceptance at a newspaper office come from
these different classes of people. They write
for their own benefit, not for Lhe.edi tor’s. Their
contributions are not wanted; cm th® contrary,
they are a nuisance. We cannot sea upon
what ground an editor is expected to expend
timet and trouble taking bare of rabbish that is
left on his premises against Ms wishes.” - - •
principal manufactories, and, as can be judged
from the value of the place at bis death, had
oreated one of the handsomest of estates.
But the work acMeved by the enterprising
husband has been so improved npon by the
widow, that even the original valne and beauty
of the place have been vastly increased.
Among the singular attractions of the estate
is one "of the most artistically designed and
most completely appointed church edifices in
the country.
It has been reserved for & New England wife
to give a tangible proof of her esteem and vene
ration for her dead husband by building a
meeting-house to his memory. And a right
noble mausoleum it is, too. In point of arcM
teotural elegance she has succeeded in giving to
the oo an try a religions straotnre that is simply
unequalled. To be sure, she expended in the
erection of the affair a comfortable $200,000,
but that is a mere bagatelle to a wealthy widow
who set out to show the world, in stone and
mortar, how much she respects the worth of her
departed liege.
MAGNIFICENCE UNSURPASSED.
The straotnre, whioh is known as the Ghnroh
of the Good Shepherd, is built in the pure
Gothic, of Portland stone, faced with the trim
mings of white Ohio stone. Without drifting
into the dreary details of an arcMteot’s specifi
cations, it may be stated that the straotnre is
ornately embellished with everything that cor
rect taste, backed np by an always open pocket-
book, could furnish.
The stained glass windows, the elaborately
carved columns, the superb organ, the leptem
fairly emblazoned with jewels, the carved em
blems of a numerous family of saints, costly
woods,'and richly designed altar pieces—all bear
testimony to the lavish hand that brought them
so happily together.
The memorial window contains a candid scrip
tural admission, in the words:
“And God blessed him and made all that he
did to prosper.”
Mrs. Oolt erected tMs bnilding as a place of
worsMp for the village of workmen and their
families, who are employed in the vast shops
upon the estate. A portion of these employees
are engaged in the manufacture of willowware
in a oommodions bnilding pnt np for the pur
pose by Mr. Colt. An interesting fact is Mnged
upon this.
THE 8T0RY OF THE WILLOWS.
"When Mr. Colt procured his present property,
wMch stretches np from'the broad meadow that
forms the western bank of the Connecticut river,
he found that its value was much impaired by
certain little irregularities on the part of that
stream. Regularly every spring the well cov
ered hills and valleys of Massachusetts and "Ver
mont empty their melting snows into the waters
of the Connecticut, and a very decided freshet
is the invariable result. A general flooding of
meadow lands always ensues.
Mr. Colt discovered that this annual exuber
ance on tho part of the river converted his broad
grounds into extensive, but altogether useless,
ponds and lakes, and so, like Horace Greeley,
at the appearance of any new dilemma, he com
menced a systematic course of damming.
He at once bnilt an enormons dyke, that in
length and uniform solidity wonld have delight
ed a Hollander. Then, to prevent the waters
from washing out and gradually undermining
his work, he proceeded to plant the sides of the
embankment with the" famous-Swiss willow, the
intertwining roots of which are so close and
compact as to defy the angriest action of the
floods.
To combine active business with- completed
business was the mainspring of energetic Mr.
Colt’s life. The willows, wMch in the import
ation and setting ont had cost him a deal of
money, must be made to return him a handsome
revenue. To this end he coaxed over a large
number of Swiss makers of willow ware, bnilt
them a dozen or more beautiful little chatelets
and set them to work at their trade at double
wages they had been receiving in their own
tight ljttle republic.
THE SWISS FROM THE OOUNTY KERRY.
A wide carriage road flanked by pleasant foot
paths extends over the dike at present, the wil
lows, whioh in root and branch are doing such
excellent service, forming a pleasant fringe of
verdure along its .entire length. The chatelets
are still occupied by Swiss, moat of them, how
ever, from County Kerry and the land of the
blarney atone.
Mrs. Colt has oontinued to wear at least half
mourning ever since her husband!? death. TMs
most not by-any means indicate that she is a
woman who revels in a chronic state of gloom.
To the contrary, Bhe is a brilliant lady who re
ceives and entertains her friends in a maimer bo
pleasant as to render it a particular favor to be
ranked among her acquaintances. Her Wednes
day evening outdoor coteries are to be rated
as the most elegant and enjoyable of the Amer
ican summer social season.
- As stated, the beantiful memorial church was
created by her as a place of worship for. the op
eratives in her shops, and other families. The
form of service is the Episoopal, and the rector
is salaried at Mrs. Colt’s expense. . So, too, is
the organist The singing is furnished by the
well-trained voices of the Sunday-school chil
dren.
THE INVASION OF FASHION.
So fine, however, was the church and its ap
pointments that it straightway became the most
fashionable plaoe of worship in the city. The
faot that it is situated a long distanoe from their
homes made not the least differenoo with these
sons and daughters of Dives. So persistent
did they become in their devotions at the shrine
of the dead pistol-maker that Lazarus and Ms
family were overawed from farther attendance.
Thujas not at all what the owner of the plaoe
had intended, -and so she baa since set apart
special hoars each Sunday in wMch her humble
employees may worship unabashed by the pres
ence of grander visitors.
Among the more enviable features of Mrs.
Colt’s perquisites are that her ground? contain
great ponds fairly alive with enormous gold and
silver fish; that the lands are adorned with ex
quisite statuary, including a small but other
wise surprisingly close copy of the “Amazon
that such enviable delicacies as fresh figs,
oranges, peaches, etc., are obtainable from her
mammoth hot-housos the whole year around;
that her huge conservatories contain a collec
tion of rare exotics unsurpassed in this coun
try ; and that, in faet, Bhe has within her grasp
all that an. enormons fortnne handled with an
appreciative lavishness and culture can prooore.

And all tho blue tosa of tho sea

OUB SOU THEBS CONNECTIONS.
Tbe Proposed Macon and Knoxville So;
For several days past onr oity has been vii
by a number of prominent Southern and W<
era railroad men, who are looking after
most feasible route to build a railroad from
con, Georgia, to tMs city. Col. Jerry Cowl
of Georgia, is the projector of the proi
road, and by bis energy and untiring zeal
succeeded in obtaining from tbe Georgia Legs
lalure a charter for the Macon and Kuo:
Boad. He has also obtained aid from the Si
of Georgia to the amount of $15,000 per
as well as secured additional aid from Easl
capitalists, enough to accomplish the buildii
of the-road. CoL Wm. K. deGraffenreid, t!
President of the road, made, daring the "
season, a survey of the route for 117
north of Maoon, and, with some other inter*
parties, passed over the proposed route of
road to Ddcktown. Tenn., thence to tbe I
Tennessee, Virginia" and Georgia Railroad
Athens.
A second proposed ronte is by way of Ral
Gap, connecting with the Knoxville and Chart
ton Bailroad when completed to that point.
Col. Cowles, Major deGraffenreid and
0, C. date, of a Chicago firm of railroad bail
ers, have been in the city several days, ti
over the snbjeot of the two routes with our cil
zens, and yesterday, on invitation of Msj:
Thos. O’Conner, President of the Knoxville
Charleston Bailroad, accompanied by a numl
of onr prominent merchants and business mi
took a trip over the Knoxville and Charles:
Bailroad, as far as Maryville, Major O'Cocni
had provided a special car for the occasion,
daring the trip the subject of the proposed
was earnestly canvassed.
The route by way of Babun Gap would brin
the main road into Knoxville oyer the Knot
ville and Charleston line, from that point, l;:
the uncertainty existing as to when the Kno;
ville and Charleston Boad wiff'be completed t*
that point, prevents any very definite concfc
sion in regard to that rente, from being arrive)
at.
If the route by way of Ducktown should b
determined npon, the Dncktown Copper Minis
Company have promised to take a half millio:
dollars of stock in the road, and arrangement
wonld then have to be made for running on tb!
track of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor
gia Railroad. ?•
Besides the above mentioned, there are etil
other matters connected with the bnilding of tbt
road to be considered; so that it will readily bt
seen that wMle the main part of the bnilding
of the road is assured, the ronte by wMch it wil
approach Knoxville is a matter of umertainii
On arriving "at Maryville, a nnmber of tb!
gentlemen oomposing the party walked abci
the town for a time and at 5 o’clock all ag&i
boirded the cars for the return trip.
Upon the arrival of the train at the depot
this oity, Mr. P. Dickenson called Mayor Yc
Gilder to the chair, and after aneat little speed
proposed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we, representing the citizetf
of Knoxville, "hereby tender onr earnest sym
pathies t > the gentlemen who have come to tl
city, with a view of opening a more direct ail
quicker line of communication between tbi
city and Macon, Georgia, and,
•Resolved, That we will do all in our power t;
aid them in their undertaking.
Resolved, That the thanks of the party»
hereby tendered Major O'Connor, President cf
the Knoxville and Charleston Railroad, for ti
courtesy on this occasion in fnrnisMng us witi
a special car for the- trip.
The above resolutions were unanimoor
adopted.
Major deGraffenried replied in behalf of him
self and friends, stating that it was their pur
pose to more closely cement the city of Kaos
ville with the State of Georgia ; that the v»s
resources of East Tennessee were required ii
the former State; that the oitizens cf this sec
tion were thriving and enterprising people aai
were seeking farther developments by Inviting
capital and labor, and assured those preset
that a corps of engineers wonld complete tti
survey of the routes and be in our city by tbe
first of next October, a statement which was re
ceived with applause by Ms listeners.
After partaking of the hospitalities of Mbj’W
O’Conner, the party then separated, high!;
pleased with their trip, not only duly impressed
with the importance, but entirely oonvincedoi
the feasibility of the proposed connection.
