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?

Rome and Dalton Railroad, and immediately
killed. It is supposed he was asleep on the
track, aud the engineer did not see him in time
to stop the train.
The Early County News says the condi
tion of the Blakely cemetery is a disgrace to
any civilized community. Bat explains it in
anothe'r paragraph by the announcement that
the “zigzig” polka ia the newest agony on the
Blakely turf just now.
The News says:
There is a revival going on at the Baptist
Church with increasing interest There have
been several accessions to tho Church, includ
ing the two “Devils” of this office. The meet
ing commenced a week ago, and every night a
great many mourners crowd around the altar
seeking to be prayed for. Prayer meetings are
held every morning, and preaching every day
aud night. 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.

Savannah seems to be almost in a state of
seige by parties of negro brigands who patrol
the approaches to the city and rob and maltreat
travelers on the highways. The triumph of
Lowery’s gang in North Carolina, affords great
encouragement to similar loyal organizations in
other parts.

Presentments of Grand Jury of JTonei|
County.
Jones Supebior Couet, )
October Term, 1871.)
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. .
His Honor, Judge Robinson, has our ttm»
for the dignified and courteous manner in
he has treated this body. We are also
obligations to Solicitor Jordan for his kind:-"
We recommend that these presentments be V-'
lished in the Daily Telegraph and MessD' 313 ’
