MACON. SEPTEMBER 19 1871.
News Items.
Campaign Litkbature of 1872.—The Wash
ington Republican of last Saturday gives us the
first specimen in a 9x9 picture representing the
Ku-klux about to execute John Campbell, of
Moore county, North Carolina, on the night of
August 10,1871. Campbell is a good looking
youth kneeling in a semi-circle of the Ku-klux,
with a rope round his neck and hat in hand,
begging for mercy. The Ku-klux are grinning
at hi™ through hideous masks and high conical
cap3 embellished with horns and crosses. Un
derneath is a full doublo-Ieided description of
tho outrage a3 chronicled in the veracious le
gends of the Ku-klax Committee. Of such will
be tho campaign literature of 1872. The old
Jackson duelling pictures and coffin handbills of
1832 will bo nowhere beside the Ku-klux car
toons of forty yeaiB later.
Killing Cotton Worms.—F. H. G. Taylor,
of Galveston Bay, writes the New Orleans
Times that he treats the cotton caterpillar to a
solution of arsenic at the rate of two pounds of
arsenic to three pork barrels of water, frequent
ly stirred, and the solution applied with a com
mon watering pot. Three barrels will water an
acre, and it kills the worm at once. Care must
be token not to have the solution too strong, as
it will kill the ootton. The person applying the
arsenic should be protected by a thick apron.
The drug costs him ten cents a pound.
The Election in Foesxth—A Plumpeb foe
Sddions.—Our agent at Forsyth, Mr. Sneed,
writes us a note at 11 o’clock yesterday morn
ing that 246 votes had been polled at that time
in Forsyth and all for Simmons. It is evident
Simmons is all right—no Liver Regulator
needed.
The Tidal Wave.—Professor Caleb G. For-
Bhoy calm3 tho troubled souls in Now Orleans
by a letter written on the 9th and published in
the papers of Sunday, in which he scouts at that
tidal wave, and says that nobody is able to fore
cast from astronomical data, any such extraor
dinary performance. Under this assurance let
us sleep as usual.
Banana Ticket.—The new gubernatorial
ticket in Massachusetts of Ben. Batter for
Governor, and Anna Dickenson for Lieutenant
Governor, is ridicnled as the Ben-Anna ticket,
and the Radicals say they will skjn it
“What the South Wants!”—Under this
head we see that the Tribune gives us a good
deal of information about what the South
needs. This information may be valuable, but
is certainly rather cruel. Wo once knew of a
successful combination by some of the heirs to
a vast estate to cheat and plunder the balance
out of the last dollar of their interest in it; but,
then, after it was done, they never told the
unhappy minority about their wants. They
knew they wanted everything and had nothing.
They knew how it happened, and therefore
considerately waived any inquiries and re
minders.
The Difference.—We see the Macon Sep
tember cotton receipts footed up 207 bales on
the night of September 12th. Last year the
week ending 9th September footed up 698bales.
The New Book of Common Peatee which the
telegrams have informed us has been adopted
by some of tho Northern and Western Episco
pal Churches, at the expense of a rupture of
their ecclesiastical relations, is a volume of 590
pages lately published by A. S. Barnes & Co.,
and beam no announcement of authorship or
authority. The changes are important and in
clude tho omission of controverted and doubt
ful expressions.
Texas Election.—The Texas election for
members of Congress occurs on the 3d of Oc
tober next. The Texas papers report the De
mocracy thoroughly aroused and confident of
carrying the State.
’Simmons Against Tinlets.—The fact is, it
was too late for Tinley peaches in the 22d Sen
atorial District yesterday. They were out of
season. The people called for ’Simmons.
Rottenness seems to have entered into the
bones of the New York politicians. A full nest
of plunderers was broken up in the New York
Postoffice yesterday.
Good Wages.—The Patriot of last Friday,
says Gen. Grant honored hi3 winter capital with
a hasty visit on Thursday and drew a quarter’s
salary amounting to $6,250. During that time
he has been engaged three days on public busi
ness at $2,083 per day.
Lose.—Tho verb to lose has been, in spite of
grammar, a very active verb in these Southern
States for ten years past. Lose, lose, lose has
been on every tongue, in every heart, in every
pocket—until every body is all loss and every
thing “a lost cause” generally.. This being the
case, how happens it, that so few, including the
printers, know how to spell lose. Nine-tenths
of the people will insist on spelling the evil
word with oo—so as to make the miserable thing
a3 long as possible. Is it becanse they are so
full of losing that they think justice demands
more o's in the word than the lexicographers
give it? That must be the case. But true phil
osophy tells us “never to cry over spilt milk”
and tho"“least said soonest mended." Now, if
4t was the verb to gain nobody would blame us
for not knowing how to spell it. Wo have had
no use for that word for many years. It might
os well be struck out of the dictionary. We
ought to bo held excused from knowing anything
about its orthography. But when printers and
people who have been losing for ten years write
about “loosing” as though they were untying a
colt or a jackass, it is inexcusable.
“ Restobed the Union.”—Sensekeeper Mor
ton, in his late speeches in the West, says, “ to
the Republican party belongs the signal glory
of having restored the Union.” Tho Sense-
keeper tells only half the story of Radical ex
ploits. There used to be an honest old Dutch
man down in Florida, who once in a while got
on a heavy spree and played the wild. In ope
of those escapades he set fire to his house and
burnt it to the ground. He never repeated
that trick—but.sober or mellow, he would ever
and anon tell the story to his visitors somewhat
after this fashion; “ You sees dis hause, myn
heer? YeU, den, I burnt down dis hause, and
den. mein Goit, I bilted it again, but not so pet-
ter ash it vas.” Now, Sensekeeper Morton,
should imitate the Dutchman and tell the whole
Story truthfully.
Pardoning Befobe Conviction.—The Su
preme Court in Atlanta, on Tuesday, gave judg
ment in a case affirming the constitutional pow
er of the Governor of Georgia to pardon crimes
before oonvloted. The question arose in the
case of John a Dominick, indicted in. Pike
county for murder, who plead the Governor’s
unconditional pardon, which plea was refused
by the Judge sitting as a court of habeas corpus.
Justices Lochrano and McOay insist that the
present Constitution of Georgia extends the
pardoning power beyond the limitations imposed
by the Constitution of 1798, and makes it as
ample as that under the Constitution of the
United States or that of Great Britain. Judge
Warner dissents and insists that the offence
must be legally ascertained before it can be
pardoned. The opinions in the case cover four
columns of the Atlanta Constitution.
State Aid to manufactures.
Our correspondent “P.,” in a communication
to-day, advances and supports the idea that the
State Bhould lend her “credit” to private adven
tures in manufacturing. It is hardly worth
while to waste words upon so wild a proposition
but what ho says goes to show the folly and in
justice of the whole business of -forcing a gov
ernment ont of its legitimate functions into
trade. The duty of government is to maintain
justice and public order and protect the people;
and when it is prostituted to purposes of private
advantage in any shape, whatsoever, either to
building railroads, or establishing manufacto
ries, or protecting them by discriminating tariffs,
and other devices of unequal taxation, it opens
wide the floodgates of personal and political
corruption and public bankruptcy.
Having once got beyond the legitimate sphere
of government, no boundary is left—no limita
tion seems to bo practicable. We are hurried
on from step to step—every advance furnishing
new reason for another, until the legitimate
ends of government are in danger of being for
feited in the wild mazes of these prostitutions
and perversions. What has not Georgia lost
from embarking in the railroad business either
as principal or endorser! We behold her now
plunged in a vast actual debt—disordered in
finances—corrupted in morals—with contingent
liabilities of many millions staring her in the
face and threatening to mortgage the energies
and labor of her people for generations to come.
And, bad as onr case is, how much worse is
that of Louisiana, North Carolina, and other
Southern States, where this insane folly of pros
tituting government into a mera trading ma
chine has made her the associate and the victim
of sharpers, shavers, and swindlers, and crip
pled all her material and moral energies for the
true and legitimate purposes of government!
There is, perhaps, no better illustration of the
danger of this contagion—the snbtle and infu-
sivo nature of this deadly poison—than that it
is now gravely proposed to push the govem-
men on from endorsing wretched railway spec
ulations into standing security for private cot
ton mills, plow and gin manufactories—wagon
shops, and all other trade speculations. And if
these, why not cotton and com plantations and
rice swamp3 ? What business has the State to
lend “ credit” to one citizen or occupation and
not to another ?'
Th6 great aspiration of every patriotic Geor
gian should now be to put a final stop to “State
aid” at once and forever, and set about repair
ing, as soon as possible, the awful moral and
material damage which that heresy has inflicted
upon this commonwealth. Ruin stares us in
the face, if there is not virtue enough in our
legislature to cut this business short off, and
save, out of the millions which have been or
must certainly be wrecked, such portion of the
wretched assets as may be available to reduce
the grand State liability.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Chaeleston Improving.—The Courier says
that in oourse of conversation with a BMlar
builder, cn Saturday, he remarked that there
had never been a time since the war, when so
many new buildings were going up, and others
^repairing, as there is sow in our city.
IThat Makes aq Idolater ?
Rov. James Beecher, in his Brooklyn Eolo-
gium of the Chinese, has this remark:
“I do not wish to place the Chinese above
Christians, or make them out to be saints; but
I do say that with perhaps the exception of the
Swedes and some of the Germans, they are by
far the most desirable emigrants who have ever
come to our country. There is, however, an
objection raised to them on the gronnd that
they are idolaters; but if time be taken to ex
amine the accusation it will be fonnd that the
Chinese are not idolaters; and secondly,that
their peculiar views concerning the Deity are
such as always accompany undeveloped civiliza
tion. After five years’ residence in China, I
can say I never saw a Chinaman who was an
idolater, nor did I ever see a Chinaman who
ever saw a Chinaman who was an idolater. The
Idols aro xiaed maraly an symbols; they serve
to bring tho Deity near tho people: and in this
they differ but little from many Christians.”
And upon thi3 a very sensible newspaper says
Mr. Beecher “has finally disposed of one very
formidable objection to the introduction of the
Chinese.” This raises- the inquiry whether, in
deed, there ever was a people “idolaters” in the
sense of believing that the image or device wor
shipped was per se the sentient deity he prayed
to ? We think not A people intelligent enough
to comprehend the need of a religion of any
kind, must certainly comprehend that the inan
imate stone or wood they bow down to is pow
erless and. can be nothing more than an image,
sign or symbol of an intelligent and invisible
deity—potent for good or evil. We cannot be-
liove, therefore, that a Chinese idolater differs
in this particular from any other idolater the
world over. All of them, probably, from the
most intelligent to the most degraded, simply
embody their ideas of the person and attributes
of a sentient god in stock or stone, and worship
it as a sign or symbol and not as the active and
sentient god whose displeasuro they deprecate
or whose favor they invoke. An idolater is one
who worships what is not the true God.
Bismarck at Home.—We print on the outside
of this issue a lively account of a late visit to
Bismarck’s country home, written by an English
lady of rank. The stories told by the French
papers of the wholesale plundering of private
property by the Prussians while in France,
would seem to be amply confirmed by what this
lady saw in the Prime Minister’s own house,
and his wife’sstatements. The Prime Minister
of a great nation has his home filled with prop
erty obtained after the fashion of Sherman and
Butler’s bummers, and his wife Is not only not
ashamed of, but actually parades the fact. We
do not mean any disrespect to the Prussians,
but really onecan’thelp thinking that they must
be very close blood kin to tbat portion of the
Yankee nation which “saved the Union” in this
section. Thsy certainly have ways very much
The local editor of the Bainbridge Sun was
recently caned, very handsomely, by about
twenty of the best citizens of that place.
The Sun says that James Ivey, youngest son
of Mr. Dorsey Ivey, a prominent citizen of Ba
ker county, was killed on Friday, by a negro
named Sam. He was shot through the head
and heart, with a double-barrel gun, loaded with
buck-shot. The negro escaped.
There has been a brunette camp meeting in
Warren county, and by a very singular coinci
dence, all the turkeys and chickens in the neigh
borhood have disappeared.
By a vote of 267 to 192, Miss Lucy Linton,
of Thomasville, has won the honor of having
the Neptune hose carriage of that town bear
her name.
A detachment of the 7th U. S. cavalry is
cruising aronnd below Thomasville trying to
find “the largest aggregate circulation” of the
illicit distilleries in that section.
‘The Thomasville Enterprise reports as fol
lows, on tho cotton prospect of that section:
The Cotton Pbospeot.—Our farmers report
the prospeot as anything hut promising in this
section. The boll worm continues its ravages,
whioh in some localities amount to almost a total
destruction of the young bolls. The storm also
did considerable damage by blowiDg down the
stalks, whipping off the bolls and forms,- and
muddying and scattering the open ootton. Be
sides this the top crop, which promised well a
month ago, seems to be doing but little, and
without an improvement, with a favorable and
late fall, it will prove a failure. An intelligent
farmer told ns yesterday that he did not believe
the cotton crop of Thomas oonnty would be
more than half as great as tbat of last year.
Another, who is fanning upon the best lands in
this section, planted for 150 bales, but now
hopes for only 80. Upon the same lands last
year, with less artificial appliances, 125 bales
were realized.
Of the prospects of the extension of the
Southwestern railway from Albany to Blakely,
the Early County New3 says :
Our friend, Ool. James Buchonuou, who re
turned from Albany a few days since, informs
us that the first ten miles of the Road from
Albany to Blakely have been located, and about
two hundred hands are at work upon it. The
balance of the line will be located during the
months of October and November next. The
contractors, Messrs. Maxwell & Barnwell, say
they will have the road to Blakely in the course
of twelve months.
Wright Blackshear, who was confined in the
Cuthbert jail on a oharge of forgery in Terrell
connty, died last Sunday.
We clip the following items from the last
Early County News:
Missionary Wanted.—On Saturday night
last, having occasion to go to the postoffice to
mail a letter, on passing one of our groceries
we saw a Bight that induces us to make an ap-
eal to the Board of Domestic Missions to send
lately a good missionary preacher. The
Christians of this town are either too poor, too
stingy, or too something else, to sustain preach
ing amongst us more than onoe a month, and
the consequence is we are going to have a very
low state of morals in our midst. Men and boys
are doing things, in full view of the publiogaze,
that twelve months ago they would iuivescomecl
to have done in the utmost privacy. But what
we saw was this: A church member, an exdn-
ded church member, the young son of a good
Christian mother, and another party not recog
nized, were engaged in playing oards where
every passer-by could not but see them. L
this not sufficient evidence that we need a mis
sionary amongst us ?
Fire at Milfobd.—On the night of the 29th
nit., as we learn from Mr. L B. Douglass, who
was there on the next day, the store house of
Mr. Spurlin, together with a small stock of
;oods, was entirely consumed by fire. The
lotel building adjoining the store was also con
sumed. The upper story of the hotel was oc
cupied as a Masouio Lodge. The property of
the Lodge was a total loss. Discoveries were
made tbat rendered it evident that the fire was
the work of an Incendiary.
Snakey.—Mr. Riohard H. Brooks, who lives
about five miles west of Blakely, informs one
of our citizens that within a circuit of four miles
in his neighborhood, twenty-nine rattle snakes,
measuring from five to seven feet in length,
have been killed the present summer. Two oth
ers were seen by some little girls tbat were not
disturbed. Capt W. H. Dubose, who lives in
the edge of town, informs ns that in resetting
some posts, a few days since, he unearthed ancl
killed thirty ground rattlesnakes,
The Savannah locals have resumed the game
of now you see it and now yon don’t see it, with
the Screven House lease. Now they say it is a
Mr. Davis, from Wilmington, who is going to
show what he knows about keeping a hotel.
Major Jas. S. Williams, a son of the late
Colonel W. Thome Williams, of Savannah, and
well known citizen of that city, died on
Staten Island last Thursday.
A fiat loaded with wood sunk in the Savan
nah river, near the city, last Saturday night,
and two men, one white and one black, were
drowned.
We clip the following from the Savannah
News of Monday:
A White Boy Shot by a Negbo Without
Peovocation.—Yesterday afternoon, about four
o’clock, a son of Mr. W. H. Dooner—a mera
lad, about seven years of age—whilst going to
the place of Mr. Jame3 Dooner on the Spring-
field plantation, had occasion to pass by the
dace of a negro named John Cooper. Young
looner was accompanied by his cousin, a young
man about sixteen years old, son of Mrs.
O’Brien, and both were going along quietly and
peaceably. Suddenly, withont a word of warn
ing, they were fired into by this negro Cooper,
and young Dooner very seriously wounded.
Young Dooner and his companion had not tres
passed upon the villain’s land, nor had they any
intention-of so doing. The first intimation
they had of danger was the sound of tho gun.
At the report of the piece, young Dooner stum
bled forward and fell wounded and bleeding in
the arms of his cousin—having received the full
benefit of a large load of No. G shot in the face,
in the arm, in the side and in the back. The
wounded lad was carried by his companion to
the house ol his uncle, Mr. James Dooner, and
from thence brought back to the city. Dr.
Waring, who is in attendance, pronounces the
i will

The Tbuth of Hisioav Vindicated.—The
betrayal of General John Morgan, the Confed- "
erate cavalry officer of Kentucky, whioh resulted
in his death at Greenville, Tenn., on the night
of September 4, 1864, has been generally as
cribed to a Mrs. Williams, daughter-in-law of
the lady at whose house, in Greenville, Morgan
and some members of his staff were stopping at
the time. A letter has recently been published,
however, written by Gillem, whose command
surprised Morgan, to a gentleman of Vicksburg,
in which Gillem gives the true version of the
events connected with the information upon
which he acted when he sent his brigade to sur
prise Morgan and his staff. The information,
Gillem says, was given by a boy who had been
captured by the Confederates, and who subse
quently escaped and conveyed the news of Mor
gan’s presence at Greenville to the Federal com
mander. This letter relieves the lady in ques
tion of the odium that necessarily would attach
to so unwomanly a proceeding, besides vindi
cating the truth of history, which is so fre
quently debauched by unscrupulous partisans.
Fine Machinery.— 1 Those of our citizens who
happened to see the magnifioent forty horse sta
tionary engine shipped on yesterday by Messrs.
Wm. E. Tanner & Co., by the Richmond and
Danville railroad for the Memphis and Little
Book railroad company, to drive their shops at
Little Rock, Ark., mnsthave felt a pride in the
faot that such machinery oouldbe designed and
constructed in this city. As long as such work
is turned ont here onr Southern friends can have
no excuse for seeking their supplies at any oth
er point.
We oopy the foregoing from the Richmond
Dispatch of the 8 th. Mr. Herbert R. Brown is
agent for Wm. EL Tanner & Co. in this city,
and in a few days will receive one portable for
ty horse and one fifteen horse-power engine to
drive the works at the Maoon State Fair. Mir.
Brown will be happy to have these engines care-
folly examined as soon as they shall be placed
in position.
We find the following in the Griffin Georgian,
of yesterday:
A Social Equality Preaches.—We are in
formed tbat one Rev. Mr. Waters is preaching
sooial equality to the negroes of Spalding coun
ty at a oolored church, near McOantz’s, called
Hosannah Church. He, it is said, sleeps in tho
houses of the oolored people, eats with them,
and is hauled to and from churoh by the negro
women. He is taking np collections, and no
donbt makes it pay.
Betcbned.—John Lamar, one of tho oldest
and best citizens of this community, who left
for California some two months ago, returned
on Saturday last, peifectly satisfied with west
ern life, and willing to remain and die a’citizen
of Georgia.
The Rev. W. P. Harrison, formerly of the
North Georgia Conference,and recently editor of
the New Monthly (MethodiBt) Magazine pub
lished at Nashville, has resigned that position
on aooount of ill health.
The Atlanta Era of yesterday says:
Lawbenceville Court-House Destroyed.—
Lawrenceville, Gwinnett oonnty, Court-house
was destroyed yesterday morning about one
o’olock by fire. All the county records per
ished. The most strenuous efforts were made
by the citizens to save the most valuable papers,
but the conflagration spread with such rapidity
that it was found impossible to save anything.
There is said to be no donbt about its having
been the work of inoendiaries. One man hav
ing matches and a pistol in his pooket has been
arrested, andis supposed to be a member cf the
gang who fired the building. The loss is heavy.
We clip these items from the Monroe Adver
tiser, of yesterday:
Obdihaby Potts Indicted — Plundering
Schemes Exposed.—The indictment of Ordina
ry Potto, by the Grand Jury at the late term of
the Superior Court, has occupied much of pub-
lio attention during the past few days. Wien
it became known tbat a thorough investigation
1— various opinions were formed
as to the probable result, and general anxiety
was not set at rest until the Grand Jury report
ed their action on Friday tort, when three in
dictments were returned in open Court The
first of these charges him with embezzling pnb-
liofunds; the seoond with offioial-malpraotioe,
and the third with assault mid battery upon
old woman on the poor farm.
A judioial. examination of these charges \
most probably occur, at tho adjourned session
of court in November. Ifany rumors are being
circulated as to the facts elicited. The jury,
however, has very properly preserved the se
crets of their inquest, except so far as it was
essential that they should be oommunioated to
the court officially, and with this status of affairs
the public must rest satisfied. It was expected
for some days that a trial would occur at onoe,
but it was necessarily postponed until Novem
ber. . }
The Flood.—The rain storms that have
enrred for many years past havo simply been
called “froahets,” but that last week was a real
flood, and although not of the dimensions of
tho one in the days when arks were essential,
exceeded, even the “rise” of ’36. Several
bridges and many mill dams in the oonnty were
swept away.
The bridge on the Russellville road at Mc
Gowan’s 1CD, and the dam at the same point,
were destroyed. The bridge at Searcy’s Mill
was rendered impassable, and the dam floated
off. The Towaliga was ten feet above Wilson’s
bridge. The crops on bottom lands were ma
terially injured.
The Bainbridge folks are chewing away
dear life on potatoes at 75 cents a bushel, and
sugarcane at 5 cents a stalk.
The Argus does not remember ever seeing
poorer prospeot for a cotton crop than is pre
sented in the fields along the various roads
that section.
A letter for Braddock Adams, of Fort Valley,
is held for postage in the Savannah office.
Joe Butts, negro, stabbed Henry Reed, anoth
er loyal man, at Augusta, Tuesday night, and
now Henry sleeps with his fathers.
The Augusta thieves have struck the hard
pan of meanness. They have been robbing the
poor house.
Mr. Merida Kendrick, one of the oldest and
best citizens of Putnam county, died the 15th
inst.
The Press and Messenger tells the following
story:
Old Mr. Vincent, who by all accounts must
have been one of the most pious of men, onoe
called on Judge Gone, who was considered dan
gerously sick, and commenced talking to him
about his eternal interests.
“Well, Mr. Vincent,” said the judge, rather
restive, “these are things that I don’t know
muoh about, and I don’t suppose you know any
more about them than I do.”
The old man took his leave, and afterwards
he was questioned as to his success in awaking
the judge to serious thoughts:
“Ah,” was the answer, "he ain't sick enough
yet.”
The People’s Mutual Loan Association, of
Savannah, sold $6,000, Tuesday night, at 53i@

A wagon load of com in the Bhuck offered
for sale on the street, is the latest sensation at
Madison.
Phil Lamar, commonly known as “Fiddler”
Phil, a well known colored man of Milledgeville,
waa drowned in Fishing Creek, near that city,
last Sunday.
On the subject of turnips, the Sandersville
Georgian offers these sensible suggestions:
The com crop, all admit, has been materially
cut off by various causes. Why not “splice” it
with turnips for fattening pork? Nothing
easier; a few aores will do the thing effectually
and that tremendous drain upon the com cnb
dispensed with. Milch cows, too, may be kept
fat and sleek all winter by the same means, and
the dairy supplied with the richest milk and
butter. But little labor, except in preparation
is required, and the yield on vi!! r ^u-irad land,
is enormous. We know a fanner who raised
1,000 bushels to tho acre, upon poor, piney-
woods land, with the application of 300 pounds
of Peruvian Guano. The truth of the matter
is, we open the com house too often. It’s very
convenient, but awfully expensive and unneces
sary. Sow turnips and save all the peas and
potatoes possible.
The Georgian has the following account of
the late tragedy in Washington county, which
resulted in the killing of Mr. Seaton Grantland
by his father-in-law, Dr. W. W. Carr:
Sad and Fatal Occurrence.—It is made our
unpleasant duty to announce the killing, on
Saturday last, of Mr. Seaton Grantland by his
father-in-law, Dr. Wm. W. Carr. An inquest
was held on Sunday—the jury being composed
of some of the best citizens of the county—and
a verdict of justifiable homicide wa3 rendered.
To satisfy the friends of both parties—who are
of the highest respectability and largely con
nected with many of the oldest and best fami
lies of the State and country—we deem it nec
essary to say that all the circumstances and tes
timony, as taken at the inquest, exonerate Dr.
Carr from blame, and manifest a degree of for
bearance on his part toward the young man
commendable indeed. Mr. Grantland, who by
tho way, was a grand-sou of the Hon. Seaton
Grantland, formerly of Baldwin county, was re
siding with Dr. Carr at the time of the killing.
An unpleasantness had sprung up—from what
cause we know not—and Dr. Carr’s life had
been threatened several times by Mr. G. On the
morning of the homicide Mr. G. had been quite
insulting, and the Doctor, in order to get away
from the unpleasantness, made preparations to
go out into the plantation. As he came down
the steps he saw Mr. Grantland approaching
with pistol cocked and pointed toward him.
The Doctor remarked, “Don’t shoot me, Sea
ton,” or, “Are you going to shoot me ?” With
out replying, he continued to advance, when
the Doctor raised his gun, which he had swing
ing by a strap from his shoulder, and fired
without bringing the piece to its usual position,
and hoping, as he says, to simply disable the
yonngmanand save his own life. Unfortu
nately the ball sped with deadly effect, passing
through the body and producing death in a few
minutes.
The Milledgeville papers announce the death
of Mr. Oscar V. Brown, one of the most re
spected citizens of Baldwin connty.
In tho course of an article on the work to be
iral Union
done by the next Legislature, theFedei
says:
The first work of the Legislature will be the
election of its officers; and it is very important
that they elect the right men. In electing a
President of the Senate, care should be taken
to select a man who will make a good Governor,
should that office become vacant; and looking
forward to that contingency, we suggest the
name of Judge Reese, of Wilkes county, to fill
that responsible office. There are other Sena
tors who are entirely competent, but certainly
none more so than Judge Reese. For Speaker
of the House, Smith, of Muscogee, will be an
excellent selection, and we hope he will be
chosen.
With such presiding officers and a majority of
honest and talented men in both branches, we
may hope much may be done towards extricat
ing Georgia from many of her present difficul
ties.
The Columbus Sun, of Tuesday, says:
Mr. Tom Key, a well-known engineer on the
Western Railroad, was shot and killed in a
house of ill-fame at Montgomery, Ala., on
Saturday night. He had drawn a knife and
was advanoin'g upon a man whose name is not
known, when the latter fired, shooting him
through the abdomen.
The California Election.—The World at
tributes the unexpected defeat of the Demo
crats of California, first, to the unpopularity of
their candidate for Governor, (Haight) and the
folly of renominating him to a .second term of
four years. Secondly, to the nomination of a
native Californian for the seoond place on the
Radical ticket, which drew to its Bupport a large
part of the native population. Third, to the
“advanced” position of the Radicals upon the
subject of common school education. Fourth,
to the superior activity of the Radicals in the
canvass.
Comptroller Connolly.—It would appear
from the dispatches thatjComptroller Connolly’s
department in New York has been entered and
robbed of sundry vouchers which were supposed
to oonviot that functionary of “loading” claims
Egging the city to a stupendous extent. The
conviction that Connolly himself is the robber
has Inspired such a dammor for his resignation
from Mayor Hall down, that the World says
New York will be too hot to hold Connolly if he
don’t resign.

PREPARED FOB THE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER.
The Jansenists of Holland ore said to have
made advances to the anti-infallibilist party
headed by Ignatius von Doeiiinger. The Ber
lin “Cross Gazette” thinks, tins would be an in
calculable advantage to the old Catholics,
the Jansenists schism of the seventeenth cen
tury was an essentially conservative movement,
and such an alliance would save the party of
Dr. von Doeiiinger from many of the dangers
arising from the influence of their liberal ad
herents. Besides this, the Jansenists have pre
served the apostolic succession unbroken, and
thus one great difficulty in the way of the Ger
man seoeders would be removed. The Jansen-
ists, who are almost entirely oonfined to Hol
land, havo an Arohbishop at Utreoht, and bish
ops at Haarlem and Deventer. Though they
are denouuoed as heretics, they have never
formally sceceded from the Catholic churoh,
and they are distinguished by the excellence
of their ecclesiastical arrangements, and the
moral purity of their lives.” In the prelimina
ry meeting of the old-Catholios at Heidelberg
the organization of the whole movement was
discussed. Munich was chosen as the center,
and it was resolved that a fund should be formed
for the purpose of executing the programme
the party. A gentleman from Vienna informed
the assembly that the leaders of the movement
in Austria and Hungary desired to act in har
mony with those of Germany. He farther
stated that the Austrian Committee intended to
reform the liturgy and the dogmas of the ohnrcb,
and to give the lay element a larger share in
ecclesiastical matters, than hitherto had been
granted it.” A great Congress is to be held at
Munich towards the end of September; it will
last three days and include both pnblio and con
sultative sittings. In the last meetings the aims
and purposes of the movement will be distinct
ly stated with an invitation to join it.
Strikes are growing chronic In Berlin and the
employers begin to aot in concert to oppose the
increasing demands of their employes. The
master masons first resolved to meet the claims
of their workmen by a firm refusal. Seventy ci
gar manufacturers have now followed this ex
ample by pledging themselveB on pain of for
feiting ono hundred thalers, to bring every de
mand for higher wages on the pari of the work
men to the knowledge of a oommittee, which
then will adopt common measures.
Hardly anything has transpired about the re
sult of the Gastein interview. The Berlin Cross
Gazette, which is generally well informed, with
out being the offioial organ says it was decided
to leave the Roman question entirely to Italy.
This decision would be in conformity with the
programme of the German Empire, which re
pudiated any interference with the internal af
fairs of other nations. A dispatch from Vienna
states positively that uo treaty waa signed, Out
Austria and Germany, we are assured, will con
sider eaoh question quietly as it arises. No men
tion is made of Russia. It is also added that
both powers have resolved to oppose the mach
inations of the Internationals.
A motion made in the Frenoh Chamber to
move the Assembly back to Paris gave rise to
tumultuous discussion. The motion was
finally defeated. Monsieur Rouher, the well-
known Minister under the Empire, has accepted
a nomination to the seat of Deputy Abatucoi, of
Corsica, who resigned in his favor.
The trial of the first batch of the Commun
ists has been concluded. Only two have been
sentenced to deatb, while the remainder will
suffer either imprisonment or deportation. The
sentence of death was also pronounced against
four petroleuses.
It is said that Thiers and ohevalier Nigra, the
Italian Minister, have had an angry discussion
over the participation of Italy in tho Gastein
Conference.
Great military preparations against dangerous
demonstrations had been made in Parto on the
fourth of September, this day being tho first
anniversary of the downfall of the Empire; but
there occurred no disturbances whatever. The
disarmament of the national guards in the
southern cities will begin on tho loth. Precau
tions have been taken to carryout this measure
with promptness and energy. The minister of
war informed tho assembly that the commission
appointed to investigate the capitulations during;
the late war will meet on tho 15th inst. It will
investigate events in chronological order, be
ginning with the surrender of Sedan.
Prince Napoleon has published a pamphlet
entitled “The Truth” and addressed to “My
Calumniators.” He declares that he was a
stranger to tho declaration of war against Ger
many. He went to Italy by order of the Empe
ror who tried to array Italy and Austria against
Prussia. He states that he offered to share the
captivity of Napoleon at Wilhelmshoe, but his
offer was refused.
The Irish continue to exhibit a very disloyal
spirit. There was an immense meeting in Dub
lin, at which resolutions were adopted demand
ing tho release of the Fenian prisoners. As the
people were returning home several collisions
took place, resulting in many arrests.
According to the report made by Gomez, the
Spanish Minister of Finance, to the King, the
next budget to be laid before the Cortes will re
duce tho expenditures from 730,000,000 to 600,-
000,000 pssatas, or $128,000,000 currency. Tho
great reduction is owing to a wise economy in
tho pnblio administration. The Federal Coun
cil of tho Spanish Internationals has addressed
a lengthy petition, signed by Francisco Mora,
to Zarilia. The document contains the usual
social-democratic phrases, and calls upon the
Minister-President to show the respect he prom-
ised to have for civil liberty to the Internation
als also. The first interview between "William
and Francis Joseph at Ischl is even seized npon
in Spain for the sake of political capital. The
Catholio Carlistio press intimates that the two
Emperors have made up their minds to con
quer all countries of latin origin. Bat these ne
farious plans may still be thwarted; there is
time yet, but it must soon be turned to aocount
by having recourse to the remedy which is noth
ing less than tho establishment of the Catholio
monarchy in Spain or the coronation King Car
los!
Advioes from Egypt state that, owing to the
jealousy of numerous Turkish officials of high
standing, the Viceroy has dismissed all the
Americans in his employ, both in the army and
th6 civil departments.
The Russian Government continues to dena
tionalize all foreign elements in the empire.
The Governor-General in Kiew has issued the
following instructions to the officials of his re
sort: 1st. To impede all intercourse between
the Polish planters and the peasants. 2d. To
tell the peasaqts incessantly, that they are the
aborigines of the land which the Poles took from
them, and that the Czar will return it to them.
3d. To teach the peasants that whatever the
Polish planters may say, is not true. 4th. To
have spies near the estates who shall report
whatever occurs and who is in the habit of call
ing there. 5th. To favor the peasants in all dif
ferences with the planters, if even the olaims of
the former oannot be wholly upheld by impar
tial law. In conclusion, the Government and
District Chiefs are directed to report at onoe,
by telegram, to the higher authorities, should
subaltern offioial have been too indulgent to
ward a Polish planter. Jabno.

Disappointed Congregation

Chicago, September 10.—An immense audi
ence gathered in Christ Chnrch this afternoon to
see the result of the Bishop’s promised visit.
The Rector, Mr. Cheney,'officiated as usual, and
preached a powerful sermon from the text: “I
must work the work of Him who sent me.” The
sermon contained no direct reference to the ex
pected presence of the Bishop or the troubles
of the churoh, and at its close the congregation
were dismissed much disappointed, as it was
looted the Bishop would appear.
:t seems he came according to appointment
and was met by the vestry who told him he
could not officiate unless Mr. Cheney also did;
whereupon the bishop left. Many are disposed
to oensureMr. Cheney for not yielding so much

Wliy Longfellow lost Ike Race.
A correspondent of the Tnrf, Field and Farm
who has been to see old man Harper since his
return to Kentucky, gives the following expla
nation of how Longfellgwoame to lose tho great
race at Saratoga:
This much I also learned, that Longfellow’s
defeat at Saratoga is attributable to two
causes, either of whioh would have been suffi
cient to operate to his disadvantage. Jnst
before the race a nail in the Bhoe npon his
left fore foot worked loose daring his exer-
cise, splitting the hoof in two directions,
nearly to the quick. The consequence was,
that when the plate was put on the hoof had
to be pared, eo as to remove the portion
which was split. This left the foot tender, and
thi3 tenderness was increased to soreness, the
horse having had no trial between the putting
on of the plate and the struggle with Helmbold.
Again, after the breaking down of Kingfisher,
Mr. Harper thought so little of Helmbold that
he gave Longfellow a good long holiday, through
which piece of folly the horse oarried into the
font mile race over one hundred pounds of su
perfluous flesh, when he should have made his
appearance looking as fine as a fiddle. This
Mr. Harper acknowledges to have been the great
mistake of bis life as a trainer; it is a lesson be
will never forget, and, I think—if I know the
man—it is one he will ever after profit by.
Now yon have the cause, or causes, of Longfel
low’s defeat, in a nutshell.
