MACON NOVEMBER 7 1871.
Neivs Items.
Hod. John Boggs, son-in-law of oar towns
man, Maj. F. R. Shackelford, was ono of the
few Democrats recently elected to tho Senate
of California.
Tho Louisville Ledger, of the 27th, says:
Gen. Thomas Johnson, of Montgomery, was
yesterday married to Mias Peters, niece of Jndge
Peters, of the Court of Appeals. They were at
the Galt House last night, en route South to
spend the winter.
Bad Shooting.—Whaley, a reporter for the
Charleston Daily News, and Trial Justice Mack-
oy, emptied two five-barrel Colt’s revolvers at
each other on Broad street, Charleston, on Fri
day last and nobody hit. That reminds us of a
“sanguinary duel” down in Florida some years
ago, wherein the parties blazed at each other
for two hours and a half and hit nobody,
except an unfortunate bull yearling, which hap
pened to be browsing about forty rods off. Fi
nally, they gave up in sheer exhaustion, and
that “fight” did much to check tho passion for
duelling.
Exploration op the Tibeij.—An Italian asso
ciation has been formed for a thorough exca
vation of the bed of the Tiber, which is sup
posed to contain boundless artistic and archaeo
logical treasures under its yellow sands. It is
said that every revolution paid tribute to the
river. The Tiber received the status, armor
and oven the diadem9 and insignia of unpopular
emperors; and when barbarous enemies thun
dered at the gates of Rome, the inhabitants,
hopeless for their lives, threw everything in the
yellow river which could be valuable to the
plundering foe. The scheme has enlisted tho
interest and means of many artists, antiquaries
and learned men in Europe.
CnuacHES Destroyed in Chicago.—A list of
the churches destroyed in the Chicago fire
shows the following classification: Baptists 4,
Congregational 2, Protestant Episcopal 6, Evan
gelical and Lutheran 9, Jewish 2, Methodist 10,
Presbyterian 8, Roman Catholic (includingcon
vents) 14, Swedenborgian 2, Uniterian 1, Uni-
versalist 1—total CO. There were also several
mission establishments not included in the
above enumeration.
College Wit.—Here is something which re
minds us of old times. We find it in a New
York letter to the St. Loui3 Advocate :
The newly elected assistant bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in South Carolina
is the Rev. William Bell White Howe. When
he wa3 a student in the university of Vermont,
a burlesque programme of a junior exhibition
was published. It imitated the style of the tri
ennial catalogue, and in it the future bishop ap
peared as Qulielmat Tintinnalulus, Candidas
Quomodo !
So dense is the smoke from the burning for
ests of Wisconsin and Michigaa, which covers
Lakes Huron and Superior, that the steamer
Arctic, the crack vessel of the upper lake trade,
on her last trip down, was fifteen hours in find
ing Marquette, after she was off that harbor by
clock and compass. Such thick darkness did
the smoko establish, that the steamer's lamps
were kept burning all day the same as at night
The Fiee at Chicago Summed Up.—It is es
timated, upon what may be regarded as good
authority, that the fire covered over 2,000 acres
in the heart of the city; over 20,000 buildings
were destroyed, nnd 93,000 persons disposessed
of their homes; 90,000 bnildiDgs are left stand
ing; 50,000 people have left tho city, and
280,000 remain. Upwards of sixty of the finest
churches were totally destroyed. Five grain
elevators were burned, with 1,000,000 bushels
of grain; eleven elevators remain uninjured,
containing 5,000,000 bushels of grain. One-
half of the entire pork product was burned,
with the same proportion of flour. Eighty
thousand tons of coal wer" consumed, and
about the samo amount is on hand.
Fifty million feet of lumber were bnrned,
and two hnudred and forty million feet
remain unharmed—nearly one-qnarter enough
to rebuild the waste places. The stock of
leather was reduced to about one quarter, the
ralue of that burned being abont $95,000. The
greater portion of tho stocks of groceries, dry
goods, and boots and shoes were bnrned, with
more than one-half of the ready-made clothing,
but the quantities destroyed were scarcely equal
to three weeks’ supply, and are being rapidly
replaced. About ten per cent, of the currency
was bnrned. A careful average of those larger
items with smaller ones shows that the city has
suffered a loss of not less than twenty or more
than twenty-five per cent, on her total assets,
real and personal. The terrible personal ex
periences published in the Eastern papers are
stated, almost wiihont exception, to be fabrica
tions.
Pbayixg foe the Editoe3.—Rev. Charles
Voysey, the English clergyman condemned for
heresy some time since, is attempting to found
a new church. Among other novelties, he uses
a litany which contains the following beseech-
ment:
“That it may please Thee to help all literary
persons and editors of the pnblic press, that
they may use all their powers in the cause of
truth and righteousness, and rise above the
praise and blame of men.”
There ought to be nothing heretical Iu such
an addition to tho prayers of the congregation.
All editors need to be prayed for—some a
great deal more than others, it is true; but it
will hurt none of them. The people who hold
daily converse with the thirty millions of read
ers and thinkers who compose the population
of the United States, ought to be nnder a con
stant sense of their responsibility to God and
their country. They ought to be very carefal
to avoid errors of fact and of opinion. They
should be as chary of pandering to prejudice,
and all those evil passions which distract the
State, society and the church as tho farmer is
to sow pure seed in the ground. Thero is no
class of men in the wide world who wield so
extensive an influence; and a3 population and
knowledge increase, the press ontrnns them as
the accepted and nniversal agent of pnblic in-
formation. If, therefore, the newspaper press
fails to imbibe a deeper and graver sense of its
own accountability, it is equally untrue to itself
and to thoconntry. It will be nntrne to its
mission and will be compelled to undergo a re
volutionary ordeal. It will bo compelled to be
come more judicial, unprejudiced and impar
tial. To view facts and events from unbiased
standpoints. No wise man wants to be misled
on any point, and even the man of strong pre
judices, becomes, at last, impatient of a pander
when be begins to suspect it. In this age of
universal and rapid movement—physical and
intellectual—tho people will demand such in
creasing earnestness, candor, freedom, inde
pendence and truth from the newspaper press.
Where is the Fool Killeb?—There is a very
active, complete and dangerous fool somewhere
down in East Florida, who is doing mischief to
that country through the papers. A few weeks
ago he intrbducedto the press a terrific account
of an extensive caving of the limestone crust in
Marion county.^ As limesinks are only too com
mon in Florida, the story was credited to a great
extent—mneb, we suppose, to the damage of
a very valuable county. There is a wide spread
desire among people who bny land to have its
surface stay permanently on top; and the story
of this geological performance, wherein whole
square miles suddenly sunk below water, has
been read by thousands who will never seo the
laugh over a successful hoax. The same fertile
genins has started another frightful narrative
of a grand eruption of the alligators in Orange
county upon the people and cattle thereof.
Now, as there are too many alligators in Florida
for comfort, the pnblio sensitiveness on that
point does not demand irritation at this time
oven in way of jest. Evidently the fellow means
to go through with all the horrors seriatim. He
has got next to write a hoax founded on the
P °f^n 0 r^^^ eB whi< * aro somewhat numerous
—then upon Use scorpions and forest spiders—
the Sharks and stingarees, and finally upon the
mosquitoes, wherein his wildest hoax will be no
great exaggeration. If Floridians want immi
gration they shonld spare no expense to atop
these papers. *
ALBANY & BRUNSWICK K. K.
“Development” Extraordinary,“Over
tlie Left.”
Months ago we raised a note of warning to
our friends in Southwest Georgia to beware ef
the Kimball money, and the danger of confiding
too much in the promises of the managers of the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad. At the time
of the passage of the bill through the agency of
lobby workers calling themselves Democrats,
and who, it is currently reported, “had. their
reward," it was openly charged that members
of the General Assembly had been bribed with
shares of the capital stock to grant the State aid
called for. This charge has never been refuted
to the satisfaction of the people.
Wbat we wish to denounce at this time is the
wrong which has been inflicted upon the inno
cent bnt credalons people of Southwest Geor
gia. Hard woiking, necessitous mechanics,
have the wretched stuff yclept “Kimball money”
still on hand, and cannot purchase a morsel of
bread with it. Honest contractors who bought
mules and carts, hired laborers, and abandoned
their ordinary pursuits to fulfill their obliga
tions, are left without employment, and worse
still, hate not been “paid for their labors. One
of these, a bridge contractor, told the writer re
cently, that with $1,100 owing him, he bad
been refnsed credit at the company’s commissa
ry for a sack of flour. Another salaried officer,
a most worthy, efficient, and needy gentleman,
has several hnndred dollars due him, and his
family suffer for the want of his earnings. More
then all this, stimulated by positive assurances
that the road would certainly bo completed by
November first, buildings have been erected in
Cathbert, large stocks of goods purchased, and
preparations made for a heavy trade. How
stands the matter? Many valuable stores are
without tenants, hundreds of destitute laborers^
many of them unpaid, are ont of employment
and can get no work at this season, and the peo
ple are gloomy and disheartened.
All honest men viewed the grant of $23,000 in
gold per mile to this particular road, as a fraud
upon the tax payers of Georgia. They were con
firmed in this belief when a bankrupt Radical
adventurer was elected President, who immedi
ately subsidized with “white money” and tempt
ing contracts, all creation, to push the work
through by hook or crook, (mostly crook, how
ever,) before the Legislature could give the
coup de grace to the whole concern. The bonds
to tho extent of five millions of dollars we are as
sured, were issued, and duly signed, and placed
in the hands of Gov. Bullock. How many Kim
ball got, or what our non-resident Governor has
done with the balance, this deponent cannot say.
We hope the people’s Representatives, however,
will take speedy measures to find out.
All this is the result of a stupendous specu
lation, which would, even if successful, have
feathered the nests of a few only, and left the
overburdened tax payers of the State to carry
the bag and bear the burden.
People of Georgia, behold the folly of State
aid promiscuously to all railroad enterprises.
Learn a lesson also from the dearly bought ex
perience of your sister State of Tennessee.
It is very safe to say, whenever a railroad
project will pay, capital and labor will assured- t
ly nnite to construct it. This will prove a true
test in a majority of cases, though exceptional
instances may arise when public help might be
expedient, because beneficial to nil. How many
of such can be pointed out ?
Tlie Georgia Legislature
Meets to-morrow, and begins what can hard
ly fail to be a laborious and exciting session.
The subjects coming before it are momentocs.
There must be a carefal, close and fair inves
tigation into all the affairs and administration
of tho Stato government since 1SC8, and deci
sive measures taken to protect the State from
bankruptcy. Tho judicial system must be re
vised and amended. New election laws must be
passed. The system of State aid to railroads
imperatively demands correction. A new edu
cational system must be adopted. A new Legis
lative apportionment will bo necessary. These
are among the great measures of the session.
No time should be lost in takiDg them in hand.
The session is only sixty days long, and there is
no margin for waste. Every white man in
Georgia longs to see this Democratic session
characterized by vigor, energy, prudence, dili
gence and a high patriotic devotion to the best
interests of the State. Shall we see it ?
Vale Bullock.
Our press dispatches last night announce the
resignation and ignominious flight of this
miserable carpet-bagger, who has trodden under
foot and robbed a defenceless people, under
Federal backing, for three yearn past. Ho
doubtless saw the handwriting on the wall, and
could not face the Demooratio music. Doubt
less, both Kimball and his frightened Excel
lency have taken care of themselves by West
ern and European investments at the public
expense.
They are having lively times in our Georgia
Chicago.
Death of airs. S. E. Qaarterman.
In another column will be found a notice of
the decease of this mother in Israel on Tuesday,
the 24th inst., near Cathbert, Georgia. Mrs.
Qnartermanwa3 a native of Liberty county, and
relict of Thomas Qaarterman, Esq., one of tho
Pari tan stock, who emigrated from Dorchester,
England, to Dorchester, Massachusetts, thence
to Dorchester, Sonth Carolina, and finally in
1752, to Midway, Liberty connty, then known
as St. Johns Parish.
For many years she was a member of old
Midway, the mother of churches, and a devout
and consistent Christian. Possessed of gentle
and winning manners, and a heart fall of the
milk of hnman kindness, she was greatly beloved
by her nnmerons friends and kindred.
Mrs. Qaarterman was the mother of the wife
of Mr. Milo Freeman, onr fellow townsman.
Her remains were transported to the old moss-
grown cemetery of Midway chnrcb, where thoy
will repose by the side of her husband and rela
tives until the final resurrection. Feaco to her
ashes.
The Industrial Exhibition.
On Monday the once crowded halls of the
State Agricultural Association were well nigh
stripped of their contents, and presented “a
beggarly account of empty benches.” Floral
Hall looked faded and deserted, the very ghost
of its former self. Indeed the Fair is virtually
at an end, and the tnrf men and sporting bloods
and betting characters have possession of the
grounds, and horse flesh is iu the ascendant.
The races were well attended, intensely exciting
and closely contested. Our local colnmns will
give the particulars.
Webegin the publication to-morrowof thelong
list of premiums awarded daring tho Fair. The
Exposition ha3 been a signal success.
New Books at Burke’s.

Atlanta News.—The following was the vote
on the candidate for Mayor; John H. James
1,036; Luther J. Glenn 702; William H. Hul
sey 425; M. J. Ivy 18.
Death of Rev. N. M. Cbawfoed.—The Con
stitution says intelligence was reoeived in that
city Saturday morning, of the death of the Rev.
Nathaniel Macon Crawford, D. D., at Ms farm
in Whitfield county, on Thursday night, from
paralysis. He had suffered from paralysis,
which affected his tongue, for about a month,
and it gradually spread until his throat and head
were affected. Rev. Mr. Crawford was the son
of Hod. William H. Crawford, (at one time a
candidate for President of the United States)
and was abont sixty years of age.
Nathaniel Macon Crawford was one of na
ture’s noble men. Generous, magnanimous and
liberal, there were very few riper intellects, or
more cultivated men, in the Baptist denomina
tion of which he was a representative man and
leader, than he. He illustrated the beauty of
the Christian religion, and was gathered to his
fathers, full of years and honors.
The same paper says on Friday night Dr. and
Mrs. Willis Westmoreland gave an entertain
ment in honor of the two distinguished Demo
cratic statesmen, temporarily sojourning with
ns, Senator Bayard, of Delaware, and Kepre
sentative Yoorhees, of Indiana. It was one of
the most elegant and recherche social occasions
we have ever witnsssed.
AebtvaIi of Messes. Louis Hontmollin, W.
A. Kent and Henry Slyer.—The Savannah
Republican of Saturday says the above-named
gentlemen, who were the victims of a dastard
ly outrage by a band of lawless negroes on last
Sunday morning, while protecting Mr. Mont-
moilin’s plantation, on the Savannah river, ar
rived in this city yesterday, from Blnffton, S.
O., by the steamer General Soott. Mr. Slyer,
who was severely wounded, still suffers very
much, and when he reached his home in this
oity, was in a very critical condition, bnt we are
glad to leomthat he is now some little better.
Mr. Montmollin’s wounds, though not serious,
are very painful. We leara, however, that he
is doing as well as eonld b6 expected. The con
duct of the negroes toward these gentlemen
after being wounded, was outrageous, and if
there is any such thing as law and justice iu
South Carolina, we trust that the villains will
be brought to speedy trial, and severely pun
ished. The unfortunate gentlemen speak iu
high terms of the kind and hospitable treat
ment they received at the hands of the white
people of Blnffton, who did all in their power
to contribute to their comfort.
The cotton receipts in Colnmbns on Saturday
were 151 bales, against 451 the same day last
year. Ifpceipta from 1st September to date
8,507 against 17,187 to same date last year.
Columbus Stocks.—The Sun says C. S. Har
rison sold, Tuesday, at assignee’s sale, 90 shares
Eagle Factory stock, (not Eagle and Phenix,)
on which $100 per share has been paid, for
$275 for tho whole lot (the Eagle is an ante
bellum, 1805, Federal bnrned factory); 874
shares Sonthern Insurance and Trust Company,
Savannah, brought, as a whole, $160; 9 shares
preferred stock Mobile and Girard Railroad,
sold for $111, and six and a fraction shares, not
preferred of same, for $20. The last two show
the scarcity of- money.
Brunswick.—We cull the following from the
Seaport Appeal of Saturday:
Steamship Ashland.—This New York Steam
er arrived at her wharf on Wednesday last with
a largo freight. Besides a considerable amount
for our merchants she had a large freight for
Macon. The merchants of the interior are learn
ing the best route to ship their goods.
Captain N. S. Finney.—Oar esteemed fellow
citizen Captain N. S. Finney, who is always
zealons for the promotion of the interest of our
city has returned from his trip to Europe whither
he went to inaugurate measures looking to tho
development of our port. Capt. F. is cheerful
and sanguine as to the future prosperity of
Brunswick.
Sudden Deaths.—On Monday or Tuesday
morning last a colored employee at tho mill of
Cook Bros. & Co , fell dead without any apparent
cause or previous complaint, and on Wednesday
another fell from tho wharf of N. S. Finney &
Co., and was drowned. It was said he was sub
ject to fits.
Recognition of Valuable Services.—Tho
City Council on Wednesday night last in recog
nition of the valuable services of Hon. James
Houston, in recovering the town commons for
tho city, donated five blocks cf lots on the com
mons to bis family.
Bainbridge had a grand passage at arms and
tourney last Wednesday. Charles Munnerlyn
(third) was the victor, and Miss- Lucy Branch,
of Mitchell, the Qoeen and P. G. of the occasion.
Speaking upon a hasty survey of the State
Fair in Micon, the Columbus San says;
We were at the Fair Thursday. The grounds
and houses are beautiful, not surpassed by any
thing in this country. The exhibition i3 a very
good one.
The crowds are not so large as at the Fair of
two years ago; but they have averaged from
5,000 to 15,000 per day, increasing as the exhi
bition goes on. The grounds and improvements
and success of the undertaking, show what pluck
and energy, represented by Mayor Huff, can ac
complish, when backed by the municipality of
a wealthy city like Macon.
The beauty of the Stato was magnificently
illustrated. A married lady of this city, as sho
always is, was thefocu3 of general and deserved
admiration. A young lady of North Georgia
was, undoubtedly, without a peer as regards
loveliness.
The press had a house to themselves. What
they did is nobody’s business. They all admired
Mayor Huff, and thought all State Fairs should
be held in Macon. _
We clip the following from the Colnmbns Sod,
of Saturday:
Steamer O. D. Fbt Sunk—Boat Total Loss
—Freight Damaged.—Thursday, about noon,
the steamer O. D. Fry, which had left here a
few hours before for Apalachicola, waarun on
a snag at Wright’s Landing, twenty-five miles
below Columbus. She instantly sunk, the log
tearing a big hole in her hull. Where she struck
the water i3 ten feet deep. The log, however,
bears her up. The steamer is a total loss with
the exception of the machinery and portion of
the cabin. She had on board eight to ten thou
sand dollars’ worth of mixed goods, shipped
from this point, nearly all of which will be saved
—some, however, in a greatly damaged con
dition. Some flour in sacks floated off. The
Palace Mills had a good deal of flonr on board,
and Mr. Greenwood considerable good), which
he was sending below to his other store. No
insurance on the freight.
The cause of the accident was the pilot, a
negro named Jane JenkiDs, made a mistako in
the bells, ringing tbe one to go forward instead
of tho ono to back the boat.
Capt. Abe Fry commanded. He is one of
tho oldest and most competent officers on the
river.
The Fry was bnilt at Pittsburg in tbe fall of
1865, and brought here in November of the samo
year. She cost Barnett & Co. $32,000. Not
long ago she, with the other boats they owned,
was sold to tho Jacksonville, PeDsacola and
Mobile Railroad Company. No insurance on
her.
“Can’t Raise Hat."—We saw yesterday moro
than twenty wagons, from one to six-horse,
loaded with hay. It readily bronght 80 cents an
hnndred pounds. This hay grew spontaneously,
and this year the farmers were wise enough to
save it. It mokes better food for stock than fod
der, and is preferred by the livery stable keep
ers to such Northern and Wostern day as they
receive.
Settling Up.—The guano dealers report farm
ers as settling their indebtedness very promptly.
They do not owe much on this score, however.
J. 8. Schofield & Son.
These enterprising machinists of onr city car
ried away all the premiums for cotton presses
at the late Fair. Their^erew and cotton box,
which was longer by 20 inches than any on ex-
hibition, was adjudged to be the most substan
tial. The thread to the former being ent from
solid iron, worked very easily, and with care is
capable of lasting for an indefinite period. The
first pfeminm was also awarded for the steam
and water power press of the same gentlemen,
which packed a bale in two minutes, and was
very complete.
It affords us pleasure thus to chronicle the
success of our native machinists, of whom we
have a goodly number who reflect honor upon
the central city of Georgia. .
Tbe New York Frauds-A Final Ex
plosion.
Tammany Hall went np finally last Thursday.
On that fatal day Samuel J. Tilden, Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Committee, drew
forth a mass of tables, compiled by him with
great care and labor, showing about six millions
drawn from the county treasury between May
6th and August 12,1870, under Tweed’s authori
ty as Chairman of the Borad of Supervisors,
through warrants in great part fraudulent, and
unfortunately, at corresponding dates, deposits
of corresponding amounts in the Broadway
Bank to the credit of three confederates in the
gigantic fraud—E. A. Woodward, Andrew J.
Garvey and Wm. M. Tweed. The remarkable
coincidence between the drafts and the personal
deposits left no moral doubt of the guilt of the
parties. Two of them have fled from justice.
Tweed was arrested last Friday on a bsnch war
rant, and is to be tried at Albany. He gave
bail in the sum of $2,000,000. It is possible
the evidence may be legally defective, bnt there
is no reasonable donbt of his gnilt. Tweed’s
plunder amounted to abont $1,000,000, out of
gross amount in warrants of $6,312,541
The Times of Saturday states that Tweed has
been busy during the past few weeks hiding
away all his personal and real estate. His stocks
have been neatly all sold or transferred. All
his houses and lots in this city have been made
over to relatives. Over f-sur millions worth of
his real estate ha3 been thus transferred within
the past few days, and yesterday he made over
to Riohard M. Tweed, his son, real estate valued
at $975,000, including his 5th avenub residence.
A complaint has been made against Tweed and
others before Judge Barnard, which demands
judgment for the people of over $6,000,000.
Tbe Fair Attendance.
The correspondent of the Savannah News
says that on the 26th “the crowd was even larger
than at tho FaiT of 18G9.” The throng on that
day was very large, but on one of the days in
1869 it was hardly less than forty thousand,
That was the first fair for many years, and a
novelty—and there were no other fairs nearly
contemporaneous to divide tbe attraction. But,
nevertheless, the attendance last week was very
large, and wbat is better, the visitors all ap
peared to bo perfectly satisfied with the provis
ions for their comfort and enjoyment. They
were all good natnred—all polite and friendly—
—all duly sober—not a case of drunkenness vis
ible, and in respect to general appearance and
demeanor, all that eonld make a patriotic Geor
gian proud. A correspondent of a New York
paper who is going the rounds of tho Fall Fairs
—commenced in Lowell last September, and
will finish at tbe Louisiana Fair in New Orleans,
on tho 18th proximo—says tho beauty of tho
ladies, the decorum, order and intelligence of
the whole assemblage and the taste and judg
ment displayed in tho buildings and grounds
are not only unexcelled, but he thinks so far
unequalled.
Sceptical Vagaries Rebnkctl.
We could wish that all who are disposed to
question the authority of the bible, or carp at
the truths of revelation, had been permitted to
listen to the logical and powerful discourse of
Rev. Clement Vaughan in the Presbyterian
Church, on Sabbath night.
The dogma or phantasm, that matter is eter
nal, and earthly organizations and progress are
merely the work of sentient beings from the
crude “ullimate atoms” existing by necessity,
was triumphantly refuted, and the absurdity of
the position demonstrated. So also with the
Darwinian theory of the origin and development
of the human race, from the lower orders of
animals, snob as the monkey, etc.
The geological'arguments likewise, which
some affect to believe, conflict with the Mosaic
account cf the creation of the world, were
shown to be fallacious and utterly untenable,
from tho writings of many of the most eminent
and learned men of tbe age. Prominent among
these are the practical and scientific investiga
tions of the lamented Hugh Miller. His exam
ination, of primary, secondary and tertiary for
mations, and the various strata of soil and rock
which underlie*the earths surface iu the king
dom of Great Britain, completely established
the fact that the whole is in entire consistence
with the age of the world, and the teachings of
Holy Writ.
The sermon was a masterly exposition and
vindication of the truth of scripture, and, for tho
good of the young especially, should be printed
and generally dissemninated.
In these troublous tim-js, when the landmarks
alike of nations, society, religion and common
honesty are constantly yielding to the tide of
corruption and revolution, and even the law3 are
made the vehicles of hnman fraud, it is pleasant
to seo our faithful divines standing in the breach
and breasting tho avalanche of sin and infidolity.
An open bible and preached gospel, are tho only
antidotes to the depravity of man and the wiles
of the devil.
Talks Too Hindi.
• If wo may credit tho report of an inter
viewer in behalf of the New York Commercial
Advertiser, the Russian Minister, Mr. Catacazy,
Is one of the most impudent of diplomats. He
is a3 lofty iu his pretensions as Genet himself.
Here is a sample:
“ What will be tbe result of this difficulty ?”
“Well, after tho Grand Duke returns, I
shall also return to Russia on a loave of absence.
I shall still be Minister. My government,
Prince Gortschakoff, and the Czar express al
most daily full confidence in mo. I know I am
right, and that, when a full history of every
thing is known, j our countrymen will be my
strongest champions.
“Wiil another Minister be sent in your
place ?”
“No, the mission will remain vacant until
there shall be snoh a change at Washington ns
that it will be pleasant for me to return. If I
could publish a full statement of facts, I eonld
put myself right before yonr people. But this I
cannot do. It wonld not be dignified. I must
simply stand still whero I am. Lies and scan
dals will die after awhile. I am in a diplomatic
position. I can address yocr government diplo
matically, but it wonld be very bad taste for me
to issue an address to tho American people. By-
and-by everything will be published. I can re -
fate nothtng through tho public press over my
own signature. I know a good many silly stories
have been set afloat from some source in Wash
ington. They have approaohed Mrs. Grant and
Mr3. Fish with these stories, bnt both these la
dies, I will say, have been uniform in their
courtesy to Madam Catacazy.”
According to Mr. Catacazy tho gosip abont
his wife is all very wide of the mark;
“She was tho danghter of Fitz James of Ber
wick, and sixth granddaughter of King James
of England. I knew her when she was a little
girl in France. I also met her in Odessa, on the
Black Sea, where her family have large estates.”
“Was Madame Catacazy iu the United States
previons to yonr arrival here as Minister in
1869 ?”
“Never.”
James 8. Hook for Senator.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Having
seon the names of several gentlemen snggested
through the pnblio prints, as suitable candidates
for tho seat of the United States Senator—some
of whom are well and favorably known, and
wonld be highly acceptable to tho Democracy
of the State; bnt who wonld, if elected, by
reason of inelligibility, not be allowed to take
their seat; as no sane man can expect the pres
ent administration to admit any Democrat to
a seat, if there is the shadow of an excuse for
keeping him out. It* is, therefore, to be hoped
that the Legislature will hazzard nothing on this
point; bnt elect a man who is eligible and com-
petent. The Stato has several such, among
whom I would suggest the'name of tbe Hon.
James S. Hook, of Augusta, who is the very
sonl of honor, a ripe scholar, a deep thinker, a
staunch Democrat of high character, elevated
patriotism and a glorious intellect, In whom
Georgia might be proud. W.
the situation.
Speech of Montgomery Blair, at Sligo,
.Montgomery Connty, Md., October 3L
■Fellow-citizens—How many poor men have we
among ns whose condition has been mended
under Radical rule ? Who of them have bought
homes for themselves, or are laying up means
for their children? We all know of numbers
whose condition was bettered under Dejnocratio
rule. Collins, Free, Talbot, and others whose
names will ooour to you, got homesteads, under
Democratic rule. The colored people have got
their freedom, and I helped to give it to them,
and I would be glad if they had better clothes
and more to eat and were better bonsed. But
I donbt if they are better off than they were
under the old system, so far as bodily comfort
and contentment of mind go.
The truth is, that whilst a few persons who are
in partnership with the government selling the
government Seneca stone, and in selling the
people clothes, working tools and articles of
food at enormous prices, and taking hundreds of
millions of dollars of the public money to build
railroads for themselves are getting enormously
riob, everybody else is getting poorer. Even
tho colored men who have been taken into part
nership, and who are receiving higher wages for
working on the streets of Washington than any
farmer can pay them, are not bettering their
condition at all. Everything that the working-
man eats or clothes himself with is made so high
by the enormous taxes put upon it by the wealthy
classes, who control the legislation of Congress,
through the men they elect by money, that the
working classes blush, and whites are really
slaves, for when the fruit of a man’s labor is
appropriated by others he is in slavery, and it
is a system of slavery far less tronblesome and
more effective than tho personal slavery which
existed in tbe South a few years ago.
Under this new and ingenious system the master
class are not troubled with the care of their
slaves in sickness; they are not obliged to pro
vide food and alotbing for them. It is not ne
cessary for the master to degrade himself by
inflicting corporal pnnishment for idleness and
drunkenness. Hanger drives them back to labor
mere surely than the lash, and that labor is ap
propriated by the canning contrivances of the
taskmaster, applied through the nniversal and
pervading taxation bronght to bear upon him.
I do not object whatever, to tho growth of the
wealth of any one or any number of onr fellow
citizens. Whilst I believe that men are created
equal as respects rights, I cannot close my eyes
to the fact that the Creator has clothed them
with very different degrees of faculty, and in
tended, therefore, that they should be very
unequal in possessions and power. Bnt the
very object of government is to protect the
weak against the dfeong, and when, instead of
accomplishing this, it becomes a3 oars has now
become, an instrument inthebands of the rapa
cious, to prey upon the weaker and simple
men, there is a total perversion of the govern
ment.
This is ourpresent condition, and a few years
continuance of it will destroy that love for
Democratio government which now fills the
hearis of the oppressed people of the Old
World. Never in the history of the world was
there snoh a rapid change in the nature of any
government as there has been in ours. Never
was there anywhere such strides made by the
monopolists in appropriating the wealth of the
country and tho power of the government.
General Jackson’s administration was signalized
by the contest with the Bank of the United
States—a bank of $35,000,000—$5,000,000 of
which was saved by tho government. General
Jackson determined to break down that institu
tion os one dangerous to ibe liberties of tbe
people, by the power it wielded over the poli
tics of tbe country, and there was never such a
contest as ensued. The struggle which the
bank made against Jackson, one of the most
popular and capable men the country ever pro
duced, was conclusive proof that such an insti
tution is inconsistent with republican govern
ment. It was considered a great escape. No
other man could have weathered the storm and
saved the public liberty.
But what have wo now ? Four hundred millions
in United States banks, and not a village of
3,000 people in tho United States without one.
And there is another circumstance which even
more than the wide difference in these amounts
marks the bold advances which monopoly has
made in plundering the people. That is, that
whilst in the old bank all but$5,000,000 was fur
nished by the stockholders, and on that $5,000,-
000, which was furnished by the government
the government got the profits and had a pro
portionate share of the directory, now the gov
ernment furnishes all but 10 per cent, of the
stock, and has none of the directory and none
of the profits. So with the railroad monop
olies. The government famishes tho money
and land to build the roads. The companies do
not expend or risk a dollar or even pay the in
terest on the United States bonds given to build
them. The companies own the roads and lands.
$66,000,000 have in bonds alone been advanced,
and between two and three hundred million
acres of land—(he choice lands of the continent.
Their value is incalculable.
A third gigantic moneyed interest whioh has
been legislated into existence by the Radicals is
tbe manufacturing interest Everything worn
and nsed by the people pays taxes not only
to the government bnt to the manufacturing
monopolies. It is the alliance of these vast
moneyed interests with the government which
constitutes the strength of the Radical party.
The masses of tho people who are the victims
of this alliance aro divided among themselves.
A large portion of them in the North are in the
employ of or controlled by this vast interest as
employes or debtors, eto. They pay vast snms
for political purposes to carry on newspapers,
hire political writers and speakers.
A great many craven spirits yield to what
they believe the irresistible power of such a
vast moneyed organization in tile control of all
the powers of the government; and it is formi
dable—tho most formidable and the least sem-
pulons and moat dangerous that ever existed.
What have we to oppose to it ? Nothing hut the
truth; nothing but the innate love of liberty
which springs from every honest heart, and this
is an undying power before which tyranny has
always trembled. All indeed that is wanted is,
II rouse the people to the real condition of the
c. untry and make them feel that it is necessary
(or them to act to save any real liberty for them
selves and their posterity, and the victory is
won, and the only real obstacle to this is the
sectional quarrel which the monopolies are keep
ing up to cover their plundering operations
and keep a portion of the Northern people who
have no share in their plunder from uniting
with their brethren in the Sonth to estahlish
honest and cheap administration.
Whilst the quarrel between the North and
Sonth continues we cannot have an honest ad
ministration of tho finances cf the government,
and the corruptionists will have their own way.
There can be no responsibility whilst the public
mind is occupied with a contest arousing so
mnch passion as the rivalries of communities
contending for power. The Kn-klnx bills and
proseentions and the proclamation of martial
law is only a part of tho system by which the
sharpers who govern the country are keeping
alive sectional passions to enable them to con
tinue to hold power. The sanction which their
measures meet from the people at the North is
really the most discouraging symptom in pnblio
affairs. It shows that the feeling which allowed
reconstruction and constitutional amendment
to be made by military force continues. The
object of those measures was to enable the Radi
cals to continue themselves in authority by the
use of tho powers of the government.
Mr. Thad Stevens supposed that when suf
frage was established it wonld not be necessary
to nse tho military to retain the Republican
party in power afterwards. Bnt their defeat in
North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and through
out tho South, notwithstanding negro suffrage,
showed that this was a mistake. Then we had
the Ku-KIux bill, and we now have martial law
proclaimed in Sonth Carolina. This is the be
ginning—undoubtedly it will be followed np by
such further use of force to control elections
as their political necessities shall dictate, IHiere
is bnt one way to meet this. ’J.’he Democratio
party must take such a course as will prevent
the people of the North from betraying the
country into despotism by sectional passions.
It is by this agency that Grant is now absolnte.
Greoley nnd Sumner, and Fenton and Bryant—
in a word, all who contributed to build np the
Repnblican party as a party of liberty, are
powerless in the organization. Grant is backed
by tbe sordid and interested classes I have de
scribed, and he will be nominated in ’72 and in
’76 and ’80, if he lives that long and is not by
thnt time enabled to dispense with that cere
mony—and whether he is elected or not he will
be counted in.
It is of no moment that the sentimental Repub.
licans are all opposed to him. It is of atill less
consequence that he does not now and never has
bad the slightest sympathy with Republicanism.
He was a pro slaveryDemoeratand professional
of the party whioh elected him in it. This,
without his subsequent snubbing of Sumner,
Fenton, Greeley, Bryant, Call Schnrz, and the
other leaders and founders of thegmrty, showed
that he eared nothing for the ideas on which it
was established. In an evil hour these men put
themselves in Grant’s power by resorting to tbe
military to reoonstrnct the Southern States, so
as to give them, as they supposed, the control
there. That folly made him their master as well
as ours.
. But is there no way by which they can lib
erate themselves? No, none whatever. Against
him as the nominee of the Repnblioan party,
with a regular Democrat in the field, they can
not carry away from him a dozen votes. I have
canvassed in Maine, New Hampshire, New
York, Pennsylvania and several other of (he
great NorthemStates since the war, and Ifonud
it nseless to talk to the people about Constitu
tional rights.* My own observations and the
results of the elections demonstrate that while
the real struggle is for sectional dominion the
Constitution is a dead letter. It was so whilst
the South held power, and it is so now whilst
the North holds it. Tbe Sonthern leaders were
as ready to force the Lecompton Constitution
on KansaB in the interest of their power as the
Radicals have been to force Constitutions on
tbe Southern States to subserve their selfish
ambition.
The Democracy is identified with the South in
the minds of the people of the Noith, and the
substance of all the argument addressed to the
Northern people is that the triumph of the Dem
ocracy will secure the return of Jeff Davis and
JBob Toombs to power over Ihem—in other
words, will be tbe triumph of the South and of.
the rebellion. It is no argument against the
capacity of the people for self-government that
suoh arguments prevail. What is wauted is
that the leaders of the Democratio party shall
so shape the contest that the Radical plunderers
shall be deprived of this irresistible power. In
this way only can the great leaders and the
honest masses of the Repnblican party be liber
ated from the bondage in which they, in corii-
mon with the Democracy and the South, are
held. Can the leaders of the party in the na
tion imitate the self-denying wisdom by which
the Democratio leaders of Missouri emancipated
their people from Radical thraldom last year?
Will they enable Carl Schnrz and other noble-
minded, trne friends of liberty to do for tbe na
tion wbat be did for Missouri ? It is no longer
a qnestion between parties; it is whether we
shall have as despotic and absolnte a personal
government as France had nnder Lonis Napo
leon. Let ns ad j ourn Democratic candidacy till
we restore constitutional government, and get
rid of martial law and military domination.

The Mormon Troubles,
New York, October 28.—A Herald special
from Salt Lake, dated the 27th, says: “It is
stated in official circles that Brigham Young is
twelve miles sonth of this city, with his course
still onward. It is not known to what point he
is bound. Some think he intends to leave the
country; others think he will find refnge in St.
George, 300 miles from here. It is certainly
doubtful whether he will appear for trial and
whether the head of the church will be seen
again here until the tronble is over. Delegate
Hooper has gone to Washington to see the
President and endeavor to effect some basis
of compromise. Tbe chnrch is in the 'greatest
ferment.’ ”
Salt Lake, October 29.—The Mayor of the

dead body was found near the city with four
bullets in it. Warrants are ont for Brigham
Young and his son Joseph, charged with the
