Atlanta Rnmon.
A letter from Atlanta will bo found on onr
first page which, wo think, deserves some com
ment. We have never heard the rnmor to
which onr correspondent alludes, but do not
doubt its existence in the least—given Atlanta
as its starting point. It is twin brother to
many others of the same hind, all started for
one purpose and nothing else, viz: To raise a
scare in the Legislature, and under that pros*
sure organize both houses thereof on a particu
lar basis, and in the interests of ceitain parties
who will be heard of, very often, wo predict,
before the session is over.
_ With all due deference to our correspondent,
we do not think ho can really believe in the ex
istence of any such plot on the part of a few ex
treme State Bights Democrats. He knows the
men at whom the rumor is aimed too well to
believe that they have in view any purposes not
consistent with the purest motives, and the
strictest regard for the honor and interests of
the State. Such rumors may deceivo some nerv
ous folks, but certainly not him. He, it seems
to us, ought to know that the gentlemen alluded
to have no intention of doing anything revolu
tionary, and that they will not move a hand's
breadth in any matter wherein action becomes
necessary, without the fullest authority of, and
the most impregnable backing by, the Law. No
matter what the subject of their action may be,
we, at least, are assured that it will all be inside
the organic and statute law—not outside. If Bul
lock has done aught deserving impeachment and
that fact be incontestably proven they, in common
with the vast majority of the people will doubtless
demand that he be impeached. If the lease of
the State Road shall be proven illegal and fradu-
lent, they, with the people at large, will doubt
less demand that it be set aside, and that the
law be fully complied with without regard to the
lease being a good or a bad thing for the State.
That question will come up when the other has
been decided.
And so with everything else that m‘ay come
within the scope of Legislative action—-as we
honestly and firmly believe. We are are not the
defenders of the gentlemen whom our corres
pondent says rumor charges with entertaining
these revolutionary designs. They are fully
able to take care of themselves. But we insist
upon, and shall demand justice for them, and
all other Democrats. We protest, therefore,
against this effort to get up a scare in the party
by repeating such rumoTS. Let the Legislature
be organized upon the basis of the best men,
absolutely, for the various positions, and with
out any reference to what this man, or that
man, or this man’s or that man’s friends think
of Bullock’s case, or the reconstruction of the
Supremo Court, or the lease of the State Road
or any other question. Let there be no tests
set up but these: Is he a thoroughly honest
man—is ho a capable man—is he a true Demo
crat? These are sufficient. They cover the
whole ground, and are all that the people re
quire, or will tolerate.
Closing Scenes of the First Day of the
Fair.
When we left the Grounds last night, quite a
large crowd still lingered in the spacious halls
of the exhibition, and the effect under the bril
liant gas light of Mr. Rowe, toimed a coup
(Toeil both unique and beautiful. The Floral
Hall presented a fairy scene with its variegated
fancy work, gems of art, luscious fruits, and
blushing flowers, shining amid the tracery of
green which festooned the walls. A steady rain
drenched the earth, but every one submitted to
the inconvenience without murmuring, satisfied
that a quietus had been given to the clouds of
dust which had been almost stifling in the early
part of the day.
In the afternoon Weston, the “American
deer,” walked five miles and six hundred feet
in 58 minutes and 26 seconds. The rain pre
vented any further exercise upon the race track.
The arrivals by all the trains last night were
very numerous, and the attendance to-day will
doubtless realize the expectations of the most
sanguine. Attention is directed to the pro
gramme of the day’s proceedings published
elsewhere.
Tribulations of a Chicago Bohemian.—The
Pueblo (Colorado) Chieftain gives a funny ac
count of a Chicago newspaper man who stopped
in the flourishing young city of Greeley, and
being athirst, tried in vain to get a square drink.
“ He went up one street and down another, ho
turned the corners of alleys, ho'sprung over
ditches, ho explored sheds and out-houses, but
the fluid for which his soul yearned could no
where be found.” He went hap-hazard into
one building which he thought might be “a
saloon,” am} encountered a prayer-meeting,
In another he found a Farmer’s Club. Finally,
he received trustworthy information that “there
was not a drop of liquor in the place.” He left,
and wrote to his journal that the town of Gree
ley wa3 * ‘without inhabitants, without resources,
Rid without commerce.”
Personal.—Wo had the- pleasure of a call,
yesterday, from Mr. H. V. Redfield/the well
known correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, who visits Macon to report on all mat
ters of interest that may strike him in connec
tion with the State Fair. We may confidently
look for a graphic aud faithful representation of
the actual situation, and it3 adjuncts andinci-
dents'of evory description, from his spirited pen.
We have had occasion, heretofore, to print and
commend various extracts from his Southern
letters. He sees intelligently, judges impartial
ly and describes vividly. We aro assured from
his antecedents, as known to us, that ho will
give the readers of the Commercial a truthful
and interesting report of the Georgia State Fair
of 1871.
Personal.—Hon. C. P. Wooten, who repre
sented the 11th Senatorial District so ably in
the last Legislature, has removed to this city,
and will contiuo -the practice of the legal pro
fession. Ho is a gentleman of pleasing address,
and eminent talents, and will prove a most valu
able acquisition to our bar and community.
Gen. Blaib on the (Situation.—Wo print on
the outside of this issue, a dispatch from Mont
gomery covering the main points in Gen. Frank
Blair’s late speech there. It will bo seen that
ho bases his strongest hopes of success in the
next Presidential fight upon the Democracy’s
setting up some such Republican as Carl Schurz
as their candidate. But he does not satisfactori
ly explain how he or those who, with him, re
pudiate the “new departure,” so-called, can
consistently support for President any man who
not only proclaims the validity of the amend
ments, but declares that they were necessary,
and are right in themselves.
High Honoe to a Macon Box.—Master Wes
ton Patterson, son of Dr. Patterson, of this city,
and at present a member of the Sophomore class
of the University of Georgia, has been chosen
one of the participants in the public debate
that will come off at Athens some time next
month. We hear six members of the Senior
class are among the number selected for this die-
tinguished honor, but our young friend is the
only “Soph” that has been this year, or ever
was thus honored. He is four yean the junior
in age of any of his companions, bntin the mat
ter of brains we predict that he will prove his
right, at least, to equality with the moet gifted
among the number.
Opening or the stale Fair.
The 2Gth Georgia Annual State Fair, and the
third since the war, opened Monday morning, 23d
October, 1871, under bright auspices. The skies
are clear, the temperature somewhere in the
seventies, the ground a little dry and dnaly—the
crowd not yet (12 it.) large, bnt it will take-a
crowd somewhero about the size of the Grand
German Army to make mnch of a show on these
grounds. There are something over 150 acr
here laid in grove, tracks and avenues, or cov
ered with tho various structures. The tout en
semble is fine. Everybody is struck with the
great beauty and convenience of the whole ar
rangement and marvel at the taste of architec-
tural skill displayed by the Georgia Crackers in
these remote regions. I may say seriously that
tho Park and bnildings are a pleasant surprise
to all visitors. Mr. Waring, Secretary of tho
Maryland Agricultural Society, who is among
tho visitors, says that tho Fair Grounds are
more beautiful than those near Baltimore, while
probably tho outfit has not cost a t mth as much.
Entries are still crowding in, and it is evident
the show will be extensive. The Machinery Hall
is a busy scene. A great deal of operating ma
chinery is in place and much is still in course
of arrangement, both inside and ontside the
building. The Floral Hall presents a beautiful
spectacle. Tho show of plants, flowers, pictures,
musical instruments, embroideries, etc., is fine.
Tho main exhibition room is being rapidly
filled up. The lower floor is already full. In
the way of carriages, Demarest, Woodruff & Co.
of New York and Macon, DeLoache, Collins &
Little and Valentino & Freeman present a col
lection which will charm the beholder. Tho for
mer say thdy have the finest collection of car.
rieges they have ever shown in tho Southern
country. Valentino and Freeman, industrious
mechanics, have a couple of buggies of their
own manufacture in Macon,,which we hope vis
itors will examine. -
Bat wo do not mean, in this article, to make
special mention of articles on exhibition. Wo
shall repeat the whole seriatim hereafter, as
soon as wo have time and the arrangements are
complete.
The horse entries are numerous—somewhere
about a hundred. Other stock comes in more
slowly. Everybody is busy as a bee—and tho
arrangements will bo nearly complete by to
morrow morning. We loarn that there are forty
odd carloads ontside still to come in, and prob
ably many more on tho way. There is every
probability that the Exhibition will be more ex
tensive than any yet made in Georgia, and by
to-morrow we anticipate an immense throng of
people.
As it is, the scene is very beautiful and ex
hilarating. Countless banners wave—among
them the old star-spangled. The air is filled
with the strains of martial music from two
bands. The United ?tales Infantry band on
the ground is afineo ie. In a word, there is
every promise of a lively week.
Fair Notes.
In onr rambles through the many halls of the
exhibition, all of which are filled to overflowing
with articles of husbandry, mechanics and the
fine arts, we were struck with the display of
Georgia grasses, made by our old friend Mr.
Wm. Lundy.
Georgia grasses! What presumption to talk
about them in the face of timothy, clover, herds
and bine grass, which block onr depots (to our
shame be it spoken) from the meadows of the
far distant North and West.
Yet in very truth and verity, here v/ere twen
ty-six varieties of native growth gathered from
a single farm (Mr. Lundy’s) in Middle Georgia.
Nor did they include several long and ver-
dant specimens of the genuine wire grass,
which to the Georgia cracker i3 as ejsential
as the reindeer to the Laplander.
If this exposition can awaken an interest in
the propagation of those grasses which will to
tain in the country the immense sums expended
for Northern hay, no one will complain of the
tronble and expense of the undertaking.
GEORGIA VEGETABLES.
Onr attention was especially directed, also,
to the extensive and creditable vegetable stand
of Mr. George C. Beal, of Milledgeville. This
gentleman had on exhibition no leS3 than forty
kinds of edible vegetables, embracing twelve
varieties of English turnips, mammoth speci
mens of beet and egg plant, carrots, cabbages,
beans, peas and other esculents. We thought
our summer gardens had played out, but were
forcibly reminded that it was onr energy, in
dustry and skill, which had suffered an eclipse
from tho approach of the icy breath of winter.
Mr. Beal proves ihat fall and winter gar
dens in this soft and genial climate are not
impossibilities. His cabbage heads vied in size
and firmness with the finest of New England
growth, Last year Mr. Beal sold his cabbage
crop at 29 cents per head, and raised 4000 plants
to the acre. Who will say cotton is King when
cabbage entera the arena with such a showing.
The Fair is a grand success. A gentleman
well known to onr readers assured ns that he
had visited thirteen agricultural fairs the pres
ent season, and not one conld compare with onr
inimitable exhibition. All honor to Mayor Huff,
Secretary Lewis, and all connected with the en
terprise.
The State Agricultural Exposition
The third day closed with cloudless skies and
i balmy atmosphere, which drew immense
crowds to tho grounds in the afternoon to see
Weston walk, and witness the balloon ascen-
tion. The great pedestrian is lithe, compact,
and graceful in his physique, without an ounce
of superfluous flesh, and withal has a very
pleasing countenance. Ho walked with great
easo and rapidity, making his five miles in 58
minutes. __
About 5 f. it, the inflation of the hnge bal
loon was completed, and soon after it rose
gracefnlly in the air with its female voyageur to
tho height'of several hundred feet drifting
slowly away in tho direction of tho city. When
over the densest portion of tho grove in front of
Floral Hall, tho monster began to gravitate to
wards the earth and finnally lodged amid the
bongha of a lofty oak.
The crowd rushed pell mell lo the spot to as
certain tho fato of the dauntless aeronaut, amid
the wildest confusion and excitement There
she hang suspended in mid air unharmed, and
apparently free from fright or agitation. A
few minutes sufficed to effect her release
through tho agency of a ladder, and the sturdy
arms of several individuals, who had clambered
np tbe trunk of the tree. The fair adventnrer
was received on terra firma again with enthusi
astic rounds of applause.
After nightfall a splendid display of fire works
terminated the events and pleasures of the day,
investing with rare beanty and brilliancy tho
Grounds with their moving panorama of living
objects.
To-day it is proposed to close the stores of
the city after one o’clock, and the regatta will
doubtless draw vast multitudes. Who will say
our Fair is not a splendid success ?
Chicago Traxs.—Chicago’s “pluck” practi
cally demonstrated itself to us yesterday, on
which date we received the first iroue of the
above paper-Aefore the late great fire a regular
and welcome visitor among our exchanges. It
is an eight column single sheet, well filled with
reading-and advertising matter, and shows all
its old vigor and independence. It declares
that.Chicago is the liveliest corpse ever seen,
and that its resurrection will be a greater and
more brilliant success than even its marvelous
growth, heretofore.

The Cbops of the County.—We learn from
Mr. James M. Oouper, one of the largest and
most intelligent planters of our county, that the
rice crop of the present year will fall at least
thirty or thirty-five per cent, short of that of
last yoar, and that possibly the deficiency may
reach fifty per cent. The cotton crop will not
exceed one third of that made last year, and the
corn about twenty-fiv^per cent, of last year’s
crop. Labor, we are informed, is in a better
condition than since the close of the war. It is
offering more freely and at lower rates. One
source of gratification. amid the Agricultural
disasters of the year is found in the fact that
the indebtedness of the planters for advances is
not so great as in former years.

Letter from Atlanta.
Atlanta, October 21,1S71
A few lines from this place, soon to become,
if not already, the chief point of attraction in
the State, may not be nnaeceptable to yonr
readers.
The Fair of the Atlanta Agricultural Associa
tion has just closed, and though it was not ex
pected or intended to equal the Fair soon to
come off in yonr beautiful city, under the aus-
pices of the State Agricultural Society, yet it
was a very creditable exhibition and well at
tended. The display of articles in the various
departments evinced the progress which has
been mado in agricultural improvement and
that in all the material interests of the State, her
course Is upwards and onwards.
Following the close of the Fair came the sub
Ku-klnx Committee of Congress, consisting of
Senator Bayard, of Delaware, "nnd Representa
tives Voorhees of Indiana, Maynard of Tennes
see, Lansing of New York, and Scofield of
Pennsylvania.
Tho committee arrived yesterday and pro
ceeded immediately to work. It is said that
four witnesses were examined—one from Wilk
inson county—one from Haralson—one from
Gwindett and cne residing here. It is believed
that the committee will be in session here at
least one week, and the next point visited will
probably bo yonr city.
The Legislatnre will soon Convene, and as it
is the first Democratio Legislatnre since the ac
complishment of reconstruction, much specula
tion exists as to what it will do.
Candidates for the various offices to be filled,
are beginning to congregate, and soon they will
be as numerous as “the leaves that strew the
vale of Yalambrosa;”
The election of most interest at this particu
lar juncture is that of President of tho Senate,
for, in a certain contingency, the Senator elect
ed to that office may be called on to fill the Ex
ecutive Chair.
In this connection a rnmor is afloat that a
certain portion of the Democratic party will nse
all the means and influence at their control, to
have a Democrat of the straight State Rights
school/elected President of the Senate. Then
articles of impeachment will be preferred in the
Honse against Gov. Bnllock and his impeach
ment ordered. Fending the impeachment he
will be suspended 'from, office, aud the President
of the Senate will Jake his place. The Supreme
Court will be reorganized and the result of the
whole will be to declare all the legislation which
was had by the last Legislature, after the expi
ration of forty days from the time of their as
sembling illegal and null and void and in this
manner get rid of all the obnoxious legislation
of the Radical party.
In this way, and in this way only, can the
lease of the State Road be got rid of.' As long
as the lessees oomply with the terms of the
lease, the State cannot take tbe Road ont of
their hands, nor can the Legislature authorize
it to be done. " /
If tho lease was obtained by fraudulent
means, the Legislature is not the tribunal to try
and determine that question. Before the les
sees can be put out on that ground, they have
the right to be beard, and this-can be done only
in the courts. The trial of fraud or no fraud
cannot be had in the Legislatnre. It must nec
essarily be in the courts. But whether those
who wish to attack and npset the lease can suc
ceed in the Courts, is very doubtf uL fijhoy may
fail to show fraud, and failing in that, their
case would be hopeless. Their - only chance of
success is to declare the legislation authorizing
the lease, illegal, and noil and void. They have
no hope of doing (his before the present Su
preme Court. Hence tbe plan above indicated,
and its main object is to defeat tho lease of the
State Road. But the result of the scheme, if
consummated, will be, not only to vacate the
lease, bnt to npset matters generally, and, to
uso a common phrase, to prodace “confusion
worse confounded.”
Will it be done ? This is an important ques
tion, and ns objectionable as muen-of the leg
islation of tho late Legislatnre may be, it is
more tolerable than the wild and revolutionary
project to set it aside in the way above indicat
ed. This plan .to vacate the lease, being the
only one which can accomplish the object,
and that being the main object in view, will
the members of the Legislatnre permit this
wild and revolutionary project to be carried
ont?-It is hoped not, so far as the lease of
the road is concered. The people appear to be
satisfied with it, and are unwilling that it should
be disturbed, and so far as my information
extends, if it is done, it will be done by the
members from middle and lower Georgia. I
have had some means of knowing the public
sentimedt north of the Ohattahoochee and it is
almost unanimously in favor of letting the lease
alone, as it is the best disposition whioh could
be made of the road. I have heard of but one
member north of that river who is opposed to
the lease, and even he will doubtless refuse to
carry ont this revolutionary project to get rid
of it.’^y
Wjll Middle and Southern Georgia give this
scheme ’any countenance or support ?

Not Burnxd Out Enough.—One gentlemen

Judge Clarke for United States Sena
tor.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger -. In com
mon with many citizens of this section of the
State, I tbinlr it is time that Southwestern Geor
gia should be allowed to sharein the honors dis
tribnted by the Legislature. We ought to have
the next United States Senator.
We can present a man every way qualified,
aud who is known as eminently trustworthy and
deserving. I allude to the Hon. JohnT. Clarke^
of Cnthbert, Ga., who filled the Jndgship of the
Pataula Circuit with marked ability and integri
ty for five or six years, and was finally removed^
from office by special order of Gen. Meade, be
cause l>ia manly and upright naturo refused to
use the functions of an office conferred by the
people for tho enforcement of oppressive and
anoonatitntional military orders.
Judge Clarke has, since the war, taken a lead
ing part in advancing the Democratio cause,
especially in Southwestern Georgia, and the
Democracy of tho State recognized his ability
and service by placing his name, with that of
Gen. Gordon, on tho electoral ticket for the
State at large in 18G8, and by giving him the
position which he now fills as a member of the
Executive Committee of the party.
Judge Clarke is comparatively a young man,
bnt is old enough to be in the full exercise of
all his gifts, aud to have displayed on many oc
casions that political knowledge and those pow
ers of eloquence, which entitle him to rank
among the first men of the State. Wo claim
hat he has few, if any, superiors, even among
hose whom age and opportunity have made
more celebrated. The material from which the
Senator must be chosen is limited, for I take it
for granted that the Legislatnre will not commit
tho folly of electing an ineligible man. We all
regret the necessity of losing for a time the
asrvices of many of our statesmen of tried
character and commanding reputation, but while
wo will never cease to honor them for what they
have done, we will be obliged in the future to
look more for actnal service to the rising yonng
men with whom the State is blessed. Give them
positions where thair light can shine, and ere
long all will acknowledge their fitness to do those
labors and bear those burdens of pnblio life
from which unjust legislation has disabled so
man of the older men. Judge Clarke is free
from all legal disability. Having never held of
fice before the war, his name stands happily dis
connected from those violent ante-war political
issues which led to sectional strife and snimos
ity, and he might obtain a more favorable bear
ing for this Stato in the Senate on that account.
Were he in the United States Senate neither
hope nor fear would drive him from the post and
path of duty. He would prove a discreet and
'prudent counsellor, yet an able and gallant de
fender of truth and right, and all his pnblio
conduct would be regulated by exalted senti
ments of personal honor and disinterested pa
triotism. We know that onr suggestion is warmly
approved by many, both in and ont of the Leg
islature, in various parts of tho State, as we
would not write this until wo had written to and
consulted with several members of the Legisla
tnre in different parts of the State. Whether
Judge Clarke would be disposed to turn aside
from his professional career to enter upon such
an office we are not authorized to say. But
Georgia and Georgia Democrats can do no bet
ter than to elect him.
And we may say unhesitatingly, were Judge
Clarke in the United States Senate four years,
that both parties would acknowledge his marked
ability as a statesman, and the Democratio party
be proud of their Senator. Democrat.
Southwest Georgia, October 17, 1871. j-
Col. Herbert Fielder, of Kandplpb
l'or Governor.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The fre
quent mention of the name of this gentleman
for Governor of Georgia, in private circles
where he is known, and recently through a num
ber of tha newspapers in the State, will doubt
less render a short personal sketch of him ac
ceptable to yonr readers. His paternal ances
tors were English, and first settled in Virginia.
His grand father came thence to Greene county,
Ga., where his father was born. His mother
was a native of Morgan county, Ga., was of
Irish decent, and a daughter of Joseph Heard.
Tho father and mother of Herbert are buried
in the county of Newton, where he was born
and raised to manhood. Financial embarrass
ment deprived him of tho advantages of college
training. Ho devoted himsolf two years to the
business of teaching with boyish snccess, and
then with the means acquired hy bis own exer
tions, set ont upon his original design, the study
of law. He passed the year of 1849 in the office
of Barney & Dyer, at Monticello, and after a
critical examination under Judge Meriwether
waB admitted lo practice. At that time Conn,
Dawson, Hardeman, Starke, Foster, Cobb, and
others now gone, were in foil practice in that
part of the State, from whom, and their cotem-
poraries, he caught his early inspirations.
Our young friend, without money or prestige
but fall of hope and'irrepressiblo energy, de
termined to stand on personal merit ulone, and
to risk bis fortune among strangers, ho removed
to Cherokee Georgia, where his career as a law
yer np to the opening of the late war was un
usually successful, and where, we are informed,
he is held in high esteem by all classes of peo
ple. _ _
Having lost his property by the war, he fonnd
himself a penniless refugee in Decatur county,
whence he removed in the winter of 1865 to
Cnthbert, aud entered with all the zeal of his
youth, upon the practice again. Hero, his na
tive elements of character have told wonderfully
in his progress from stranger to friend of the
people, from poverty to comparative ease and
ndependence, and to the universal respect of,
not only the courts and tho bar, bnt of all
classes of society.
His clear head, and well balanced judgi
inflexible will, incorruptible integrity and devo
tion to truth, and extraordinary eneregy, afford
a guarantee of eminent success, and universal
esteem in any position in which he may be
placed. Asawriter.he is terse, strong andtrench-
ant, having bnt few superiors in the State. As a
speaker he is earnest, logical, impressive aud
eloquent. He is the firm friend, patron and
advocate of education and religion. As
Christian, he sustainsanuntarnished reputation,
and I have no doubt, if elevated to the position
of Governor, it would be conceded by all, that
he is the right man in the right place.
Justice.
For Speaker of tbe House.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: The Legis
lature convenes very soon and the subject of
officering the two Houses is agitated, and is one
of importance. Nothing gives more real weight
and dignity to a deliberative body, than an effi
cient presiding officer. Indeed, the strength of
all sncli bodies lies mainly in the ability,
promptness and efficiency of the presiding offi
cers. "We have, for the’ first time in several
years, a very highly creditable Legislatnre, and
we should not fail to make each House even
more creditable aud reapeotable, for the want
of proper presiding offioers.
.We need then, as a presiding officer for each
house, a gentleman of experience, (both as to
age and in point of legislative experience,) of
great decision of character, and marked ability.
Taking the above as a rule by which the House
should be governed *n the selection of a pre
siding officer, we shall find no one better quali
fied for the high aud responsible position of
Speaker than the Hon. James M. Smith, of Co
lumbus. Colonel Smith is a native Georgian,
and served in the war as Colonel of-13th Geor
gia regiment until he was elected to Congress
h the winter of 18G3. He is a lawyer, and has
reached the highest position that can bo attained
in his profession. Ho has never sought office,
nor does he seek it now, bnt his friends who
know his worth will urge his name for the posi
tion.
He combines, with distinguished ability, leg
islative experience, strict integrity and decision
of character, an amiability of temper which
pre-eminently fits him for such a position. I
do not mean to depreciate the worth of other gen
tlemen, whose names have been spoken of in
reference to the Speakership, when I thus speak
of CoL Smith; bnt I do 'mean to say, and all
who know him will agree with me, that of all
the members of the House, he is the man for
the place. His election would give weight and
dignity to the Honse, and reflect credit npon the
Democratio party. Ebabtus.
The Graphic.—We have thq last two num
ben of this incomparable Englijji illustrated
paper from Brown A Co., on Seoond street.
The Graphio is bo far ahead of all other papers
of its class in the United States, that compari
son would be odious, indeed. They all steal
piotures from it, every week, most unsparingly;
and thus testify their appreciation of it Com
pared with its rivals across the water it more
th»n holds its own. We are greatly surprised,
almost disgusted, when we see cultivated, intel
ligent people preferring the Northern illustra
ted papers, so-called, to the Graphio and other
really meritorious publications of a similar
character.
A Card t rom Col. Lewis.
Maoon, Ga., October 24th, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Gentle-
ken:—I confess to some annoyance at the pre
tended importance given by some to any- view
of my own as to the policy of the State Agri
cultural Society—and mnoh more, that those
views should be made the occasion of misrepre
sentation. Once for all, then, it is not true that
I have expressed myself opposed to the policy
of the Sooiety’s holding annual Fairs—that I
have been indifferent to the success of the pres
ent Fair—that I have not co-operated in the ef
fort to make it successful—that I was opposed
to the Fair being held in Maoon this year—that
I prefered a permanent location at Atlanta. The
whole is false.
This is true—and only this is trne in the case;
that I give my whole mind and effort to make
the Society an organization that shall embrace
in its operations, and enlist in its support the
whole State without regard to any localities;
and that I have contributed and urged every
suggestion, aBfar as I was permitted—that would
promote the joint interest of the city and Socie
ty in the Fair of 1871. I am neither for Atlanta
or Macon—but for the existing contract to al
ternate. Use these facts if you please in my
behalf, in any way your judgment approves.
Bespeotfolly yours,
Dav. W. Lewis.
The above card of CoL D. W. Lewis, the able
and experienced Secretary of the Georgia Agri
cultural Association, is dignified, manly and to
the point. We have heard Colonel Lewis ex
press himself time and again without reserve
upon all subjects connected with the State Ag
ricultural Society, and can truthfully bear testi
mony to the statement now submitted under his
own signature. Indeed, if the Colonel could,
consistently, with good, faith, have any prefer
ence in the premises, Macon would be his choice
for a permanent location of the Annual Fair.
But a solemn contract was made establishing
the rule of alternation between the cities of
of Atlanta aud Macon, aud it would be acting
with punio faith to violate this agreement.
Hence CoL Lewis takes no sides on this ques
tion, but simply devotes all of his energies and
influence in behalf of the general interests of
the Association.; We publish his letter as
simple act of justice to one who holds a most
difficult and responsible j*osition.
Hr Secretary ol tbe Senate.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : It is ex
pected tbat retrenchment and economy are to
be the rating ideas in the next General Assem
bly. Reform is greatly needed in the clerical
departments of the two houses. This work will
be done, let ns hope, at the next session with a
greatly redaced force. It is always desirable
that the Legislature be organized with compe
tent officers, bnt at this time it is more than
ever desirable to get the very best men. With
out disparaging any other I ask leave, through
yonr valuable journal, to suggest the name of
T. W. J. Hill, Esq., of Atlanta, as a fit aud
roper person for the office of Secretary of the
enate. Mr. Hill has had-large experience both
in clerical departments and as a member of the
Legislature; is endowed with a fine order of
mind remarkable for gTeat clearness, quickness
and accnraoy; is among the soundnest of Dem
ocrats, and has hosts of friends. The Senate
could not make a better selection.

Shackles lor the North as well as the
Sooth.
In an article on Grant’s late proclamation of
bayonet and bandenff role for certain districts
in South Carolina, the World, of Saturday, star
tles Northern sleepers with these ringing words
“But this sort of thing will never be tried
North! We recall something like this when ne
gro suffrage was mooted, when troops were em
ployed at the polls, when Federal officials first
took to counting votes and supervising returns
South. One by one these things were tried North
and are to-day the law North. Fiat experiment
turn it corpore tili, say the physicians—make
yonr experiments on what nobody cares much
for—and the rascal tactics which are undermin
ing onr liberties take the maxim to heart. On the
South—the accursed, hell-deserving, conquered,
rebel, traitor South—every experiment towards
consolidation, despotism, destruction of free
government, and erection in the stead thereof
of a mill where the many are to be gronnd like
cora’for the profit of the few, has been taken.
Succeeding .perfectly and met even with ap
plause and 'bravos! tbe experiment has been
cunningly hardened into rule, and every villain
ous essay mado on the South from 1867 to 1870
is now in 1871 an iron yoke for the North’s
neck. Divide and conquer is the process that
has been and is going on. Fat out a report
of murderous doings South, under cover thereof
rivet another link, and by the time the riveting
is over let the North wake np to find that the
shackle that was only to have bonnd the South
in some mysterious way binds it too."
Now let ns see how the “ free North” will
submit to what it has cheered and applauded
when done to the rebellious South. Shackles do
well grace the limbs of “traitors,” but how
look they on the limbs of the “patriots” who
“saved the Union?” Verily, the whirligig of
Time doth bring many and curious revenges.
Chicago- Reconstruction—Life and
Labor Looking Up.
Chicago, October 20.—Business is being re
sumed in the most rapid manner imaginable.
Many permanent bnildings are in course of con
struction fn the burnt district, aud a large num
ber of temporary structures. The burnt distriot
is alive with workmen, and every department of
business is full of activity. The water-works
are in full operation. All parts of the city are
bountifully supplied with water, and tbe fire de
triment and fire alarm are all perfectly organ-
zed. The utmost activity prevails in all direc
tions.
Dispatches received here from New York
state that a rnmor is in circulation there that
all the Ohioago banks are suspended. Nothing
conld be farther from the truth. The banks are
not only doing business its usual, but, as before
stated, they are nearly all receiving amounts on
deposit. Both private and national institutions
are paying depositors in full. There has been
no run upon any of the banks, nor any diminu
tion in the feeling of confidence exhibited in

them from the hour of their resumption.
The canal lien bill for the relief of Chioago
was signed to-day by the Governor.
The Tribune Company to-day ordered their
architect to commence rebuilding their edifice.
The front wall will be taken down and rebuilt
with Milwaukee brick. The other walls and
nearly all the floors are firm and secure.
The Nobth and Sours Railroad.—The Mont
gomery Advertiser of Sunday, learns from Pres
ident Wallace, that this road—which is to give
that city a direct railway connection with Louis
ville—is now complete to the Alabama and Chat
tanooga Railroad at Birmingham, and ready to be
opened for freight and passengers, and that he
hasso notified theofficers of theroadandrequest-
ed inspection to be made on Monday by the State
Commissioners. These gentlemen, having pre
vious engagements with other roads, have sig
nified their readiness to make the examination
on Thursday, the 26th instant, immediately
after which we hope schedules will be ready,
and freight and passenger trains commence reg
ular trips. * * * * ***** *
On the northern end the Sonth and North
Road is also complete from Sand Mountain to
Decatnr on the Tennessee River, leaving only
sixty-seven miles of unfinished work, which, un
der the supervision of the energetic Robertson,
backed by the Louisville Railroad Company, is
being pressed through with all the vigor that
men and money can bring to bear.
Chabaciebxstxo.—A negro named Elliot, who
claims to be an H. O. from what was onoe the
State of South Carolina, has the impertinence to
send us, under hia frank, a copy of an address to
the people of the so-called United States by the
negro convention recently in session at Colom
bia. This Elliot, from what we have heard of
him, is one of the “sassiest” Northern free
negro carpet-baggers that ever cheated the
native field hands ont of their just dues of high
official position, and in tho days of slavery
would have been worth—under a strict overseer—
possibly, $1,000 as a hoe handler. Now he sits
in Congress, and has the effrontery to send re
spectable newspapers documents under his
frank—which we suppose a he hires some one to
write for him. And this is called the “progress
of civilization." The Lord deliver u6l

The Yibginia Tobacco Crop.—The Danville
Register, of the 18th, has the following on this
subject:
The tobacco crop has been ent and housed,
and much of it is already enred. It has been
all along predicted that the yield of this year
would be inferior in quality and short in quan.
tity, and now that it has been gathered in, the
result only too palpably verifies the prediction.
In the ontset a full crop conld not be pitched
for want of plants; the fields suffered severely
from drouth later in the season; and now, at
the critical period, that great terror of the
tfanter and fatal enemy of the weed, the frost,
has done Us part toward the general misfor
tunes. __
Gov. Scott, of South Oabolina, on Martial
Law.—A correspondent of the New York Her
ald gives that paper an interview with Governor
Scott, of Sonuth Carolina, upon the President’s
late proclamation of martial law in certain coun
ties of that State. The Governor says that in
his judgment the proclamation was unnecessary.
By a clerical error (as he supposes) one of the
most tranquil oounties in the State is included
in the proclamation, while another which has
been the seat of some disturbance is omitted.
The Governor thinks that the military proceed
ings may work inconvenienoe to some innocent
men. He concedes that the counties in question
have been more orderly in the past three months
than for a long time before.
Presentments or the Grand,

To the Superior Court of said Count*. „
the Grand Jnrors, chosen and sworn for*
term, beg leave to submit the following**
ments:
We have diligently examined the
the Ordinary’s office and find them ncatU v
bht some few mistakes in calculation of ,•

call the attention of the Ordinary. Wa r 1
mend that the Ordinary draw hia warn??*
the county Treasurer for two hundred fl i' “

amined, with care, the book3 of Clerr

7,464 correctly kept, and a balance in the h
the Treasurer of $131 39. But upon refo?*]
to the old records of the Clerk’s office ke
fore the present incumbent came into
we find a large portion of them without
or any means of reference, and we reconsT
that the Ordinary engage the service o*
present Clerk (whom we take special ni,
in commending for effioienoy) or some
competent person, to make a complet.TI
plain index to all records in said cffioe-rl

the Ordinary to cause to be bnilt, as earb
possible, a bridge over Mercer Creek, near

across Buckeye Creek at Hightower's Ford ‘

reoommend, especially the Ordinary, to r
vide for the Ordinary’s office and Cledi;
ffice suitable fire proof eaies for the boob

not in actual use—and that he cause the 0

How Florida Tax-payers Have Been Plun

ida, lately ht session at Lake City, have issued
an addreGS to their fellow-citizens, “without
reference to their party connections,” in which
they set forth that the amount to be collected
in iaxeB the current year is $1,000,000, equal to
one-eleventh of the total personal property val
uation of the State. That “from their knowl
edge of the condition of the producing interests,
the delegates assembled give.it as their deliber

of production, there will not remain in the

the taxes upon their property.”
