Telegraph and Messenger. 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. Olaxton, Remsen & Haffelfinger, Philadel phia, have jnst published “Bertha, the Beauty,” a story of the Sonthern Revolution, by Mrs. Sarab J. C. Whittlesey, of Alexandria, Virginia—a tale of abont 400 pages—and no donbt the experience of many a Sonthern beauty since the war is worth telling. Harper’s Hlnstrated Almanao for 1872 is a calendar of the funny order and full of sjarifed illustrations. • So also is “Josh Billings’ Farmer’s Almi- nar,” jnst published by Carlton. All for sale 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. First Day of tbe Macon City Fair.
