The Greorgia Weekly Telegraph and JoiiriLal Messenger. Telegraph and Messenger. MACON, NOVEMBEB 7, 1871. Cotton—Reaction Regan. The reaction in cotton is beginning so much earlier than we looked for that wo feel encour aged. It look3 as if tho bulls wore beginning to seo that they must knock under. Tho crop is exceedingly small and nothing can bring it out. This fact will become more apparent every day. With twelve to fifteen hundred thousand bales deficit as soon as tho speculators lift the pressure the price will go up to 25 cents. Now is the accepted time to buy, and as soon a3 tho rise becomes more decided there will bo an ea ger market. Few speculators havo the nervo to buy on a foiling market Wo hope tho staple has touched bottom for this year. Agricultural Appointments. Wo are requested to announce tho following appointments of Mr. Samuel Barnett, Commis sioner of tho (Georgia State Agricultural Society: Mills' Creek Academy, Bullock county, Thurs day, November 2; Springfield, Effingham conn ty, Saturday, November 4; Jonesboro, Clayton county, Saturday, November 11; Irwinton, Wil kinson county, Tuesday, November 14; New man, Coweta county, Thursday, November 30 LaGrange, Troup county, December 2. Papers friendly to the object of Mr. Barnett’s tour and to tho cause of agriculture, generally, will pleaso copy. BnllocU’s Object. Tho Atlanta Sun says Bullock’s idea is to come back at the head of a military force, sus pend tho writ of habeas corpus and stop Legis lative investigation into his performances. Evidently the State of Georgia must bo in an insurrectionary condition when a loyal Gover nor has to seek personal safety in leg bail Besides all this, Georgia, if she votes at all in tho next Presidential election, is not going to give a loyal vote. If Bullock will give Grant a Champagne Bath or two out of the contingent fund, he may bring him to this view of tho matter. Who knows? The Cotton PicEEns’ Velocipede ! — Tho Edgefield Advertiser crows lustily for Edgefield, and says: “Dr. L. M. Asbill, a well known citi zen of the Bidge, deserves tho thanks of every man in tho vast cotton belt of these United States, and will, ere long, win in very substan tial form, universal recognition as a great pub lic benefactor. The man who obtains one of Dr. A’s machines, named as above, for which ho has obtained letters patent, will havo no more need to complain of weary back or head ache, but will henceforward sit on a cushion under an umbrella, with his cotton basket car ried to his htod. And when his basket is full, ho will, by a simple reversion, make of this labor-saving wonder a wheel barrow, on which his cotton will be carried to tho place of deposit, Without even tho labor of bringing it to his shoulder. And Dr. A’s invaluable invention, wo are informed, is to bo of small cost After this wo hope there will bo more pears picked as well as cotton.” The Seneca Sandstone Business is prosper ing notwithstanding tho dull times. $2,067,- 865.94 value of it has been used on the public buildings in the District of Columbia, since Gen. Grant took stock in the company. Let us correct that statement. Wo mean tho gov ernment has paid that amount in dollars and cents for the stone; but tho stono itself is said to havo no value for building purposes—being too soft and disposed to slack and crumble on long exposure to tho atmosphere. It is stated in democratic circles that tho Rreat Radical Platform of 1872 will be constructed of Seneca Sand Stone upon a muck foundation and Grant Will sit upon it chinking his dollars. The Gband Duke Alexis Alexandboyitch, who* arrival in New York is daily looked for, is in his 22d year, and tho third surviving son of the present Russian Emperor. Ho is said to speak fluently in French, German and English, besides his native tongue. Ho is passionately fond of maritime life, and has, in several in stances, displayed great coolness and courage in danger, and on one occasion rescued a young lady from drowning at tho hazard of his own life. His virtue? will now increase from day to day, at least in the newspapers. Past of the Spoils.—The Atlanta Sun, on tho authority of Dr. Angier, states that although the Brunswick and Albany Railroad is finished only to Albany, and poorly finished at that, that bonds for the full length of the road, amounting in gross to $5,180,000, havo been issued and havo disappeared. They can’t bo found about tho eapitol. As section 4,355 of the Code makes such abstraction a penitentiary offence, tho philosophy of tho grand Bullock Hegira can bo understood. The Macon Cotton Receipts for September and October, 1871, were 16,059 bales. For the same months in 1870,they were 27,761—showing a decrease in the two months of 11,702 bales, or more than forty per cent. Wo suspect the de crease during tho year will somewhat exceed this. Tho calculation among intelligent plan ters is a falling off ranging between one-half and three-eights—considerably Higher the former than the latter. Obioin of the Chicago Fire.—Tho story of the cow kicking over a kerosene lamp in a stable, is now pronounced a myth. The Herald says the firo was the work of City Roughs for the pur pose of plunder, and the Chicago Times says it was done by the Societe Internationale, whoso headquarters are at Paris. If the Communists intend to purify tho world by firo they ought to give fair notice. The Kuklux Wail-—Sixty-three arrests had been made by tho military in tho little village of Chester up to last Saturday. The arrests in York to same date exceeded 100, and among them wero threo ladies. Tho Columbia Phcenix mentions a rumor that a largo U. S. military force will bo concentrated in that city during Fair week. If so, employ their bands and get some music out of them. In His Element.—Attorney General Aker- man appeared as prosecutor in the Yorkville trials last Saturday. If Akerman can be hap py, ho was blissful on this occasion. To en gineer negro testimony against Southern white women and men, was a labor of lovo suited to the temper and disposition of “Master Attorney General.” Kryzanowski Abbested. — Tho Savannah News of Tuesday says that on Friday Deputy United States Marshal Freeman, arrested Gen. W. Kryzyzanowski, Supervisor of Internal Rev enue, on a charge of embezzlement. On Sat urday K. gave bond in the sum of $10,000. Other arrests, it is said, will be made. Another Speculation Afoot.—Tho Boston Post intimates that this uncommon severity in harrying the Mormons ana forcing them to fly the country, leaving their goods and chatties and money and properly behind them, opens one of tho most promising veins of speculation to the cabinet whioh has yet been disclosed. The Augusta Chronicle says that the oounties of Washington, Burke, Jefferson, Hancock, Glassoock, Warren, Columbia, Lincoln, Elbert, Wilkes, Floyd, Chattooga, and Whitfield, it is adically alleged, will be put under martial law. Flight oi Bullock! What Next? The stealthly resignation and flight of Rufus B. Bullock, late Governor of Georgia, through the wicked machinations of United States radi calism, is an event that will cause no regret Georgia; but will, nevertheless, increase tho public uneasiness and apprehension. First, amounts to a confession of the enormous frauds and maladministration which have been charged to him, and leads to the belief that the half has not yet been told or even suspected. It is a virtual admission that Bullock’s official career has been marked not only by such vio lations of public duty as must infallibly bring impeachment and deposition; but is stained with frauds and felonies which would forfeit his personal liberty to the majesty of offended public justice, and consign him to tho peniten tiary. Such apprehensions as these must have dic tated his resignation and ignominious flight from Georgia. This step was not only a vol untary assnmption of tho worst consequences of a constitutional impeachment, but it was much more. It was, also, a voluntary inscrip tion of his own name on the roll of infamy. Notorious and universal as has been tho scoun drelism of the wretches elevated to the Execu tive Chairs of the subjugated States by Federal bayonets, Bullock was tho first one to accept tho role of tho conscious felon and flee in ad vance before tho perils of a publio investiga tion. Wo do not say ho wis chief or greatest among the official rogues imposed by Radicalism on tho Southern people. Indeed his flight show3 that ho had not yet attained to that brazen hardihood in villainy, which many of the others display. He was not so courageous, obdurate, impudent and hardened a wrong doer as the rest of them; and we suppose he had found out beforehand that having failed to stand up to Grant in some small particulars, Grant would not stand up to him in all his rascality as Grant has done to tho others. Akerman, (cold-blood ed and snaky) has no doubt authorized the cur rent rumors that Bullock was to be thrown over board and abandoned to his fate. In this dilemma with his enormous malver sations hanging over him, and the session of the Legislature approaching, his heart fails him and no prepares for flight. Ho writes out his letter of resignation—deposits it in tho safe hands of somebody who will keep the secret for a week and give him a fair start, and then flies. Who was this partieeps eriminis in a great fraud upon the people of Georgia ? Who held that resignation for a week, while Bullock was flying with his spoils and plunder ? Who took tho responsibility, for this object, of creating an interregnum in the publio administration ? Was it Conley T Tho dispatch only states that Conley was in Atlanta to take the official oath, as soon as the flight and resignation wero made public. The two things seem to have been con temporaneous. But whether it wero Conley or anybody else, it is manifest that ho or they wero confederates in a guilty scheme of aiding and abetting in the plunder of tho Treasury and qf depriving tho people of such remedy or redress as might be secured by the possession of the absconding criminal with his plunder and per sonal effects. Is it possible that Conley is innocent of a guilty fore-knowledge of this escape from public justice ; and still more, if gnilty, is it possible that he has the hardihood to assume the Execu tive Choir of Georgia as the direct result of his own connivanco and co-operation in a great fraud upon tho people ? We say, if so, tho robes of tho Governor belong to him just as much as your coat belqngs to a sneak-thief who has en tered the hall and stolen it, while you are eating your dinner. If Bullock had remained for impeachment and trial, in the event of conviction, tho duties of his office would havo devolved upon tho Pres ident of the Senate, who will be elected next Wednesday. By this arrangement the duties of tho office devolve on Conley, who was Presi dent of the last Senate. It is now incumbent on Conley to clear his skirts, if he can, of the violent presumption of preconcert and arrange ment with Bullock, by means whereof, on tho back of the plunder and wrongs perpetrated by Bollock, on the people of Georgia, they should be still farther cheated out of redress by practical extension of Bullock's dynasty, and the succession of a personal friend and con federate in tho Executive Chair, to do what ever might bo done in covering up Bul lock’s frauds and defeating possible measures for reform and redress. The thing wears the semblance of a black conspiracy, and demands the strongest investigation and prompt action. The clause of the Constitution applicable to this emergency is section four of the fourth ar ticle, as follows: “IV. In case of tho death, resignation or dis ability of the Governor, the President of the Senate shall exercise the executive powers of the government until such disability bo removed or a successor be elected and qualified. And in case of the death, resignation or disability of the President of tho Senate, the speaker of the House of Representatives shall exercise the ex ecutive powers of the government, until the re moved of tho disability or the election and qual ification of a Governor. The General Assembly shall have power to provide by law for filling xmexpired terms by a special election.” Here it will be seen is full provision to meet the case. The power of Conley or any other President of the Senate who exercises executive powers, in case of the death, resignation or dis ability of the Governor, extends only until a successor is elected and qualified, and the Gen eral Assembly has power to provide by law for filling unexpired terms by a special election. Let the General Assembly provide by law for a special election immediately. “ Governor Conley.” In his official proclamation Mr. Conley signs himself 11 Governor of Georgia.” There is nothing in the facts or in the Constitution to justify his assumption of that title. The Con stitution, in the article we have quoted else where, is very careful not to designate him as Governor. It only declares that upon the given contingency, he shall “exercise executive pow- —that is to say, he shall be acting Gov ernor. And this 7ias a meaning to it. The Constitution does not fill the Executive vacancy with the President of the Senate; bnt leaves it still a vacancy to be filled by special election, if the General Assembly shall order it. Read the clause, and you will see that this view of the matter is very clear. Conley’s claim to be “Governor”is, therefore, mere usurpation. At tho most he can only act as Governor, until the Governor’s successor is elected, etc., either by special or regular elec tion, according to the authority conferred on the General Assembly by the last clause of that section. But Conley had a purpose in declaring him self “Governor.” He has usurped the office and doubtless he means to hold on to it—means to defeat a special election, if ordered by the Legislature, and if he cannot do that, to hold on to his usurped title and its functions by force of Federal intervention, if he can procure it; and declare the effort to enforoe the Constitu tion an act of rebellion. We are afraid there is trouble ahead. ’ The Thing Settled.—The Atlanta Constitu tion says it has got the Atlanta Fair premium as the “best daily paper in Georgia." Now if we can only find out who is the prettiest girl in Georgia, two important points will be settled. And there is also a third question, which should be investigated—where is the fattest baby, and who belongs to it? ion. The Pari3 Commune displayed their hor ror of war, by declaring the universal brother hood of the human race, and by violent assaults | on the momentoes of French military glory. “One Vast Camp.” | THE GEORGIA.

Wo hope it will continue if—it will make tho people do letter. Bbeach of Faith.—Macon has not acted in strict good faith and comity towards her neigh bors whose Fairs take place this week. It was generally understood among the different asso ciations that the Macon Fair would olose last week, but at the last moment notice was given that it would be continued during the present week, and thus many articles that perhaps would havo been sent to Augusta and Columbus are kept away. If Macon intended to have a local Fair of her own separate from that of tho State Association she should have so stated from the beginning. This complaint comes from the AugustQ Con stitutionalist of Taesday. We are not exactly authorized to say so, but we have no hesitation in stating that all you clearly lose by this “breach of faith,” so called, the city of Macon will cheerfully make up to you. So don’t fret over it any longer. Hoist by Tbeir Own Petard. We find the following in tho Montgomery Advertiser, of Friday: To the Republicans of Montgomeby County. The undersigned, who claim to he tho proper Republican candidates for tho several county offices, hereby state that we believe that the disturbances at the primary meetings, whioh led to the present division in the Republican party, were instigated and oonducted by the leaders of the secret organization known as the National Guard; that Messrs. Strobach, Robin son, MeDuffio and Jackson are, or have been all members of that organization; that we have at every meeting denounced any such or ganization ; that we have good reason to believe that said organization pledges its members to corrupt the ballot box*and the jury box; that it threatens the right of land owners in this coun ty to the peaceable possession of their property; that we demand a judicial investigation into the character, membership and designs of said or ganization ; and that we havo been threatened with personal violence, and with interference with the rights guaranteed to us by the Consti tution of the United States at the hands of mem bers of this organization—all of which we think we are able to show beforo any proper judicial tribunal. Chables F. Scott, • S. Coffin, J. B. Townsend, J* C. Keffeb. Montgomery, Ala., October 2C, 1871. This “National Guard,” be it known, is an intensely Radical semi-military organization, and its leaders are men who were initiated into the “Loyal League” by Keffer aud others, whom it now seeks to crush. It embraces a large ma jority of the Radical party of Montgomery county who are negroes, and who wero bound together against the whites by Keffer and his fellow carpet-baggers in midnight conclave, and by the formula of the most horrible oaths, not more than threo short years ago. Then they were altogether lovely, aud the only loyal peo pie at the South, because they pnt Keffer & Co. in office. But they have found out a good many things since then—among others that they have as much right to the offices as K. & Co. and are determined to have them if necessary, even by the same means that the carpet-baggers aud scalawags cheated the whites, wherefore Keffer & Co. raise their voices in this tuneful howl. If ever engineers were more signally hoist by their own petard, we have not heard of it. Now let them call on Grant and see whether he will handle these Ku-klnx as he has those of South Carolina. We’ll wager something handsome that the “National Guard” is a Grant organiza tion, warp and filling, and that all Keffer and his friends will got for their pains if they com plain to him, will be the most conspicuous con tempt. General Yoang for 17. S. Senator. We copy below with great pleasure an article on this subject from the Washington Patriot, the Democratic organ at the National capital. The Telegbafh and Messenger, as we have heretofore said, has no special candi- datearfor any'named' position, but it would ro- gard the success of General Young as a recog nition of petsonal and publio qualities that should always command a premium. He has few or no political prejudices to overcome, is moderate in his views, aud stands square on all tho great issues of the day. He has youth on his side, too, which, in these days, means a great deal. But hear the Patriot: Genebal Young of Geobgia.—Our Georgia advices give us to understand that General Young’s friends have determined to use his name in the forthcoming contest before the next Legislature for United States Senator. In this appreciation of General Young by his fel* low-citizens of Georgia, we are glad to note the assurance of their satisfaction—a. satisfac tion deservedly secured—with his course, not only as Representative in Congress from the Seventh District of his State, bat also as a member of the “Resident Congressional Com mittee,” and in his more comprehensive capacity as a member of the Democratic party of the country. Aware, as we are, of General Young’s daims upon his friends and upon the party in Georgia in connec tion with his political services, we avail ourself of thi3 occasion to wish for him that suo- cess in his contest before the Legislature of Georgia for Senator whioh he has substantially earned for his fidelity to principle and devotion to the best interests. of the Democracy. We have been not inattentive spectators, here at the seat of the Government, of Gen. Young’s course in Congress, and in view of the confidence and lartiality which his people exhibit in thus bring- ng him forward for one of the highest offices, if not tho highest office, to which a citizen of a State may aspire at th9 hands of his fellow-citi zens, wo recognize the fact that his conduct here as a Representative in Congress has met with that substantial vindication at home which is at once the best evidence of the eapacity, in tegrity and devotion of a publio servant, and of his fitness for any higher sphere of duty to whioh his constituents may desire to call him. As having, therefore, commanded this confi dence as a member of the Democratio party, State aud National, and^i active advocate of Democratic principles, General Young’s claims upon the Georgia Legislature can bo safely left in the hands of his friends. There are many distinguished Georgians who would fill the seat of United States Senator with dignity to them selves and with credit to their State. From the ranks of these patriotic and worthy citizens the selection of General Young for United States Senator would, we feel convinced, meet with the hearty approbation of the party.

We, the grand jurors chosen and sworn to I the present term of Jones Superior Conrt, beet: submit the following as our general present-1 ment: Wo have examined through appropriate son-1 mittees the records of the Ordinary and OU of~ the Superior Court, and find said records kj be neatly and oorrectly kept, reflecting ci£: upon the officer in charge, Mr. Boland T. Eoi We have also examined tho books of the Comj Treasurer, and find them correctly &ept,ci all disbursements supported by proper Toil ers. We find a cash balance of three honir! and seventy-one dollars and thirty-two ceu ($371.32) in the hands of the Treasurer. The public buildings we find in good coni-1 tion, except a look on each of the lower cu \ in the jail. The question as to whether or not the Ori■ I nary should levy an extra tax for the support c! the District Court being submitted to us, it to resolved unanimously, that the Ordinary dr k: levy such tax, and that he resist its collectic: by all legal means in his power. The names c! the parties acting as Judge and Attorney of said District Court iu Ibis district never haviug bee: submitted to the Senate for confirmation ve think they are acting without proper authority Our people have ever been opposed to this court-deeming the courts as organized before this one came into existence snffioient to meet | all the demands of justice. , There never has been a session of the coat held in this county, and we consider it a greet injustice and gross imposition to be taxed fc: I the purpose of paying for services that law j never been rendered. Let those counties tbt have been benefitted by said oonrt (if there be such) be taxed for its support We trust ou member in. the^ JJouse of Representatives to use his vote and influence to do away with s& court. We find the roads generally in go® 1 condition. Believing that the removal of tie capitol from Milledgeville to Atlanta h«3» suited in much pecuniary loss to the State, ana subjected our legislators to many damorahuii influences, we think the good of tha.BM* demands that the oapitol be removed to Millecge- villa. . The emoluments of the Tax Collectors Sheriff’s offioes being very small in this county, we recommend that the two offices in thi3 comi ty be consolidated, and do petition the Legk*; tore to pass a special act consolidating the t*- offices. We also recommend that the Ormw pass an order for the sum of one hundred «•; ars to be allowed B. P. Cook, Sheriff of county, for extra services in performing matters for the year 1871, to be allowed or- and above all his other fees, etc. .
