three inches and thirty-hundredths.
Senator Sciiurz denies the report that
he intends to remove to Chicago after the
expiration of his present term.

nooga, a new schedule was agreed upon
to go into effect shortly.
The First National Bank, of Washing

Candy Gambling.—One Flint Peaselee,
a Boston candy dealer, has been convicted
of gambling, for retailing packages of
-candy with the inducement of the slim
chance of finding a gold or silver prize
in them.
Mr. and Mrs. Crotis, of Bridgeport,
■Connecticut, who celebrated their golden
■wedding recently, have been remarkably
fortunate during their married life. All
their children and grand children were
present, no death having occurred in their
family for fifty years.
Cap Hyman, onee a noted gambler of
Chicago, died in that city the other day.
In his palmy days he had a splendid out
fit of diamonds and jewelry, and $30,000
in ea'H. He lost at one sitting $19,000,
spent all he had, reformed, took to selling
pictures for a living, and died penniless.
A Western newspaper, wishing to do
the handsome thing by the local doctor,
recently made the following announce
ment: “ Dr. Crawford was called, but
under his prompt and skillful treatment
the young man died Wednesday after
noon.” We don’t know what the doctor
said to this; but if the editor of that
newspaper is taken sick, we advise him
not to call in Crawford.
Paris Gbeex and Caterpillars.—A
"Washington dispatch says the Agricultu
ral Department has issued a circular to
-all its correspondents in the Southern
States, asking for information relative to
the use of Paris green and other poisons
in destroying caterpillars. It is stated
that the total loss by the cotton cater
pillar sometimes amounts to $40,000,000
or $50,000,000 in a year, and that the loss
of a quarter of a million of bales in a year
■where insects prevail would be deemed a
light infliction.
Here's Another.—The city editor of
the Mobile Register, rambling in the
suburbs, entered a cabin inhabited by an
old woman, three tow-headed children
«nda big white dog. Getting into a
conversation with the old lady, he in
quired the name of the dog. Respondent
answered that the dog had a good script
ural name, and it was “Moreover.” Local
wanted to know how that came to be a
scriptural name for a dog; whereupon
the old lady indignantly took down the
Holy Book, and turning to Christ's nar
rative of Lazarus and the rich man, pointed
triumphantly with her finger to the line
‘‘Moreover, the dog came and licked his
nores,” etc. Local “gin in.”
A Respectable Debt.—The District of
^Columbia owes a funded and floating
<lebt aggregating sixteen millions of dol
lars. Now, when one remembers that
• this debt was -virtually created by negro
voters, probably not owning altogether a
Lundred dollars city property, it must be
^considered an achievement “worthy of
Home in the proudest days of her glory.”
-It illustrates that wonderful creative
power of “the great Republican party of
."the nation,” under which its dusky wards,
without a cent in their pockets and fed
-on army rations, can yet build palaces and
miles -of paved streets, and cover the
earth with bonds to be paid by white
property-owners. No wonder the sons of
Ham despise “poor white trash.” But
"how “de poor white trash” in Washing-
-ton are going to pay the interest on this
.-debt is a oonundledrum we cannot an
swer.
"We like the way in which the law is

Taxation.—The New York Bulletin
ways advices from Washington state that
in oonsequence of a heavy falling off in
the internal revenue receipts, in conse
quence of the panic, Congress will be
asked to impose additional taxes or re
store some that were repealed last year.
The receipts for the month of October
■are estimated at only $7,000,000, or about
42,500.000 lea3 than the usual monthly
ave.agi. An it is feared that this defi
ciency will oontinne for some time, the

.year, and. the tax "of 2J per cent, on rail
road passengers and freight receipts,
which realised $7,500,000. In all, an in-

Panic -Dangers of the .Situa
tion,
A oertain Judge of our acquaintance,
being asked how long the panic would
last, looking down at a pair of fifteen dol
lar boots 'he had on, replied, until I can
buy such boot 3 as these for five dollars.
In other words, ho looked for its ultimate
solution in a universal and sweeping re
adjustment of values to tho ante war
standard. _ , , .*
But this is impossible, because money
(gold) has cheapened immensely in its
relation to other values in the past twelve
years, and the process is going on rapidly
from year to year. And long anterior to
the war, particularly since the California
gold discoveries, money had been cheap
ening, and the fact was evinced by a
constant and gradual rise in the prices of
labor and labor products. We need,
therefore, never look again for ante war
prices, except as the result of some tem
porary aberation in trade; and wo ought
to look, on the contrary, for a gradual
rise in those prices upon the basis of a
normal and healthy valuation. What
such a valuation would be now, it is diffi
cult, if not impossible, to say; because
abnormal and unhealthy conditions of
currency and trade have existed ever
since the war, and are in existence now.
If we admit that the financial storm
now sweeping over the country, appa
rently without any adequate cause or oc
casion, is likely to bring about a general
re-adjustment of values, the most per
plexing and dangerous point in the pro
cess is the reduction of- the price of labor.
Labor being the chief element of the
value, the main difficulty would exist here
in any case. But at this time the diffi
culty and danger are immensely aggra
vated by the labor combinations of mod
em growth—the Unions—banded togeth
er and working under arbitrary laws,
which scout at and violate every sound
principle of trade and every true method
of arriving at just valuation, and enforce
their stem and arbitrary decrees by the
power of an unyielding discipline, and
sometimes by violence.
Valuations are properly and rightfully
fixed by compromise between buyer and
seller, which it is the grand object of
these combinations to prevent in their
own ease. They propose to fix the value
of labor by the fiat of one party alone,
and this is the explanation of that appa
rent insanity which refuses, on the alter
native of that or no wages at all, the
smallest reduction in the per diem, when,
if they will open their eyes, they can see
all the products of labor descending rap
idly in price.
This state of affairs lies at the' bottom
(as we have little doubt) of most of the
alarmingly numerous mill stoppages and
discharges of workmen by the hundreds
all over the North particularly. There is
no ground open to compromise with
these -associations—for their object, as
we have said, is to do away with compro
mise as an element in their trade; and
hence mill owners are reduced to the di
lemma of either stopping, or of going on
to produce goods with uncompromising
labor at old prices, to put upon markets
which will demand and insist upon a large
compromise in prices, as due to the de-
r tngementa of the financial condition and
the scarcity and increased purchasing
value of money.
This fact we repeat, more than mere
money scarcity, is throwing thousands
out of employment, even long before a
hard winter has set in, and bringing on a
condition of things painful to contem
plate—and even justifying grave appre
hensions for public peace and security.
Already the Northern city papers tell of
ominous meetings among these combi
nations. The Herald reporters on the
3d, at a meeting of strikers, found, as
they say, “a bitter feeling towards those
whom they bold to be responsible for
their lack of work and wages. There
were stem suggestions that, perhaps, the
monetary stringency could be relaxed by
stringing up a few capitalists, and a judi
cious use of crowbars in opening some of
the closed banks and other moneyed
institutions of the city.”
This kind of talk may not have much
of resolve in it, jnst now; but in a month
or two when the pangs of hunger and
cold and the anguish of suffering wives
and children embitter and infuriate the
met! of these organizations, they may be
very difficult to control or reason with.
They amount, in fact, to something very
much like standing armies, and haveon al
most illimitable power of mischief if they
choose to exert it; and what men may
choose to do, who find themselves and
their families freezing and starving in
the midst of plenty it is difficult to say.
This ugly problem of the reduction of
the price of labor at such a time, and un
der such circumstances, is the most angry
clond in the whole horizon. The ques
tion demands the most cautious treat
ment, and we fear is not receiving it. We
think it is incumbent on the manufac
turing sections of the country, in the
light of mercy, as well as a sound econo
my, not to push the reduction of labor on
inch beyond what they are financially
compelled to do. The banks, capitalists
and press should unite to encourage the
manufacturing establishments to go on,
and at the some time to inspire a just
appreciation of the condition among the
workmen. Prevention is cheaper than
cure. It will cost less to feed orderly
workers, than to provide against or pro
vide for infuriated or sullen and suffering
mobs. There is room for diplomacy and
a wise liberality in this matter; and un
less times mend and aspects change, it
will need all the wisdom, forbearance and
benevolence of the wealthy to surmount
with safety tho obvious dangers of the
situation.
A Good Showing' forthe Plant
ers.
-^.We heard something yesterday that
reflects great credit upon the planters of
this section, and which we think deserves
public mention. At one of the banks of
this city their drafts to the amount of
$90,000 matured on the 4th instant, all
of which, except $2,500, was promptly
met. On the 6th instant arrangements
for the satisfactory settlement of that
balance were made, and the' account
fully squared. This report is from only
one bank. We understand that an equally
good one comes from all the others. We
congratulate the planters and the country
upon it. In these pinching times such a
record is certainly a proud one. There
is immense vitality itf the land yet—we
may rest assured of that. - V
The Knoxville Strike.
The Press and Herald of Thursday
announces no change in the condition,
but active negotiations going on through
Congressman Thornburg and numerous
other pacificators without result. All
business interests were suffering keenly.
The entire trade of East Tennessee w^3
at a standstill. A freight train was to bp
sentont to Bristol, Thursday evening,
and thoPress and Herald ventured to pre
dict that the popularity of Master Me
chanic Hodge, would insure its depart
ure, “the boys having declared that
Charlie can go if he likes.” This was
very kind in the “boys.”
The Press and Herald says the striking
employes of the road are firm and quiet,
and having neat and cosy homes of their
own, are in generally good financial con
dition to stand a seige. The toaipomes
are also firm and in good condition. (* l
Affairs were still further complicated
on the 6th by the stoppage of the Knox
ville and Ohio Railroad, from the line of
which comes most of the coal consumed
for fuel in Macon. We do not suppose,
however, that this adds materially to the
prospect of a coal famine "here, as the coal
cannot come through until. freight lines
are resumed on the East Tennessee- and
Georgia road. The coal miners, however,
ore also on a strike, and this may be more
serious in its results, for when the roads
get ready to run again, there may be
nothing to carry.
It will have been observed that the
representatives of twenty Southern rail
roads held a meeting in Chattanooga on
Thursday, affirmed the justice and neces
sity of a reasonable reduction in wages;
and mutually pledged themselves not to
employ any operatives concerned in ob
structing the operations of the roads or
intimidating workmen; and they,also
agreed to furnish other roads with the
names of parties so engaged, and to in
vite the co-operation of all railroad com
panies in the United States in this action.
There, then, is union against union
and just so soon as both sides resort to
it, business and trade sink to a condition
of chronic war. On the whole, perhaps a
universal and entire prostration of trade
for'a year or so, may ultimate in good by
settling the relations of labor and capital
and reinstating the healthful laws of
trade, which have been in a state of sus
pended animation ever since the war.
Some Interesting Figures.
now the “Old Corpse” has been Mis
behaving.
In 1872, Dix, Radical candidate for
Governor, carried New York by 55,-151
majority, and Grant had 53,480 majority.
Last Tuesday the Democrats carried the
S.tate by nearly 15,000 majority—a gain
of nearly 70,000 votes in just tyyelve
months. ljia$t t year in ,the same, State
the Legislature stood as follows: Senate,
24 Republicans and 8 Democrats ; House,
91 Republicans, 35 Democrats and 2 In
dependents. As far as heard from, the
Legislating ’stands s^natqf 17 Re
publicans and 15 Democrats; House, 65
Republicans and 53 Democrats.
In the last Legislature of Massachu
setts there was one Democrat in the
Senate and twenty-three in the House;
now the Democrats have eleven Senators
and sixty members of the house.
The last Legislature of New Jersey
stood; Senate—14 Republicans and 7
Democrat*;.House—44 Republicans and
16 Cemocrats. Now it stands; Senate—
14 Republicans and seven Democrats;
House—32 Republicans and 28 Demo
crats. - -.1
In Wisconsin Gov. Washburn, (Rad,)
was elected in 1872 by 9,370 majority, and
Grant carried the State in 1872 by 18,-
520 majority. The Republican? concede
the election by about 5,000 majority of
Mr. Taylor, the Democratic-Liberal-Re-
form candidate for Governor.
In Minnesota Gov. Austin, (Rad.,) was
elected in 1871 by 14,974 majority, and
Grant carried the State by 22,694. Now,
C. K. Davis, the Republican Governor
elect, estimates his majority at only
eight to ten thousand. *-■ - ■'• ■'
The Democrats have elected Comstock
to Congress in the fifth district of Michi
gan, by about 200 majority. Last .year
609 mitjorit^
Last year Grant .carried Kansas'—
“bleeding Kansas”—by 33,482 majority.
This year the Democrats and Reformbrs
have carried the State and secured a ma
jority in the Legislntnre.
These figures demonstrate conclusively
how rapidly and surely that '-Mid fossil,”
the Democratic party, lias been dying
since the presidential election j of 1872.
The trooly loyldiig its grave last Novem

a, corpse, and ought do longer to cumber
the ground. They swore it was dead,
dead, dead, and never could be resur
rected, and some weak kneed, faint
hearted Democrats thought so too. feut
it wasn’t. The “old fossil” was only lying
quiet, nursing his wounds, and recovering
his strength wasted in the disastrous
Greeley contest. He has shaken the
pillars and loosened the foundations of
the Radical temple this year. He will
pull it down and bury tho inmates in its
rains, when he has fully recuperated his
powers.
Aldermanic Material in Chi
cago
Must bo scarce judging from some re
marks in the Tribune about the Hon. J.
J. McGrath, one of the “city fathers.”
The Tribune says the Honorable gentle
man “is an adroit rascal, who makes the
business of Alderman a livelihood.” He
was also indicted for bribery a year ago,
but being a slippery customer flanked
the law somehow and went on selling and
buying with undisturbed complacency.
The Tribune is of opinion that the Chi

driven from office, or “sent to jail by a
jury of twelve men.”

Death of Col. Tho*. YV. Sfangliam
We are pained tlm morning to an
nounce the death of Col. Thomas W.
Mangham, which occurred yesterday
morning at-his residence in this city.
Uis health has not been good in some
years, but it- was only within the past
few days that he was confined to his bed.
His disease was consumption, and since
the first of tho week his decline was very
rapid, and attended with great pain; but
yesterday morning he passed quietly
unto his rest.
CoL Mangham was bom in Columbus'
in November, 1836, and at the time of his
death had just passed his 37th birth-day,
which occurred last week. From Colum
bus his family removed to Griffin, where
he lived until 1857, when he came to
Macon. For sometime, we believe, he
was conductor on a passenger train on
the Macon and Western railroad, which
position he left to take a position in the
Bank of Middle Georgia, which was un
der the control of Mr. Isaac Scott. The
latter position hfe 'held for some time,
and was finally offered a better salary in
the Bank of Savannah, the agency of
which was under the management of
Mr. J. E. Jones. When he informed Mr,
Scott of this offer, the latter gentleman
voluntarily went to Mr. Jones and offered
to become bondsman for Mr. Mangham.
When the war broke out, Mr. Maug
ham, who had been a warm secessionist
from the outset, was among the first to
volunteer. When the secession movement
first began, Mr. Scott, who was an avowed
Union man, sent for Mr. Mangham and
urged trim not to vote with the secession
ists. He said the thing was all wrong,
and would prove so in the end. Mr.
Mangham answered that he could not
act otherwise than with the secessionist!
without violating his conscience. He
thanked Mr. Scott for the advice that he
had given him on many oecasons,. but,
though it pained him to do so, the advice
would have to be disregarded in thjp in
stance. Mr. Scott, knowing how deter
mined he wa3, and finding his mind fully
made up-upon this point, ceased to inter
pose any further advice.
Mr.' Mangham entered the war in 1861
as corporal in the Macon Volunteers. In
the autumn of tne same year he was
made Adjutant of the 30th Georgia Reg
iment, which was then under the com
mand of Col. David J. Bailey. Early in
1862 the regiment was reorganized and
Mr. Mangham was. elected Lieutenant
Colonel. Toward the latter part of 1863,
Col. Bailey resigned the command of the
regiment, and .on the 16th of December
of the same year Mr. Mangham was ap
pointed Colonel. In this position he
served until the, battle of Chickamauga,
when he received a wound in the hip
which totally unfitted him for future mil
itary service. The wound kept him in
bed for about a year, and it was long be
fore he was able to go without crutches.
In the army CoL Mangham was dis
tinguished as a disciplinarian. His regi
ment was frequently pronounced the best
drilled and the best disciplined in the
army. He had the confidence and the
love of his men. While he exacted a
rigid discharge of duty from every man
under his command, he was as careful of
their comfort as a father could be for his
children, and saw that they were well
clothed and well fed. He was conspicu
ous for his gallantry upon the field, and
had 5 t not been for the wound which
total unfitted him for further military
service ie would have been made a Briga-
die. -Gen -al immediately after the battle
of tl ikan --iga.
V" en thv war had ended, CoL Mang
ham returned to Macon and for a time
was engaged in mercantile pursuits, in
connection with Mr. C. D. Findlay.
When the Central Bank of Georgia was
organized, he was elected cashier, and
held the position up to the time of his
death, and discharged its duties up to
the latter part of last week.
He was the most active man in the re
organization of the Macon Volunteers
some two or three years ago, and the re
organization of that company was largely
due to his exertions and'to him the com
pany owes mainly the selection of their
very handsome uniform. His being
wounded disqualified him for active duly
with the company; but he held the nota
tion of SecroLuy and Treasurer up to nia
death.
There .are few men of his age in Macon
who could not have been better spared.
He was a man of sound judgment, of
sterling integrity and of the most scrupu
lous exactness in all his transactions.
His promise was the criterion of his ac
tions. What he said he would do. If
he once announced a determination it was
irrevocable. He knew nothing but the
closest adherence to honor, and he had
the entire confidence of every one who
knew him.
His funeral will take place this after
noon at 3 o’clock. A few days before his
death he told his wife that he wauted to
he buried by the Macon Volunteers,
wanted them to fire a salute over his
grave, and wanted to be buried as near
as possible to the soldiers* cemetery. The
-funeral -will take placp from the Mulber
ry Street Methodist Church.’ The Vol
unteers, are ordered to meet at their ar
mory at half past two o'clock. It is hoped
that every man will turn out.
Mrs. Westmoreland and Her
Assailants.
Elsewhere will be found a criticism
Upon some remarks alleged to have been
made at the late session of the “Woman’s
Congress”, in New York city by Mrs. Ma
ria Jourdan Westmoreland, recently ,of
Atlanta, bdt now residing in the former
city. As the writer is a lady, we have
given her a hearing, but we say now that
in our judgment she has assailed Mrs. W.
without due cause. She assumes, from
some newspaper reports, that Mrs. West
moreland, upon that occasion, warmly ad
vocated woman suffrage, and suggested
that a corps of female carpet-baggers bo
sent South for the purpose of stirring up
the women of the South to the point of
demanding the ballot. We read the Her
ald’s report of Mrs. W.’s appearance at
the “‘Woman’s Congress,” but failed to
see any allusion to the ballot in her re
marks as reported by that paper.
Since Mrs. W.’s departure for New
York, and appearance ac the meeting in
question, sundry writers have seen proper
to assail her upon the premise that she had
advocated sending missionaries to con
cert the Sputhern women, to . ttye cause of
woman suffrage, but wo have seen noth
ing in any published reports of her re
marks to warrant the severe judgment
some have pronounced upon her. She
certainly does riot' train with Woodhull,
Claflin & Co., for that crowd has no
standing with those who composed the
■“ Woman’s Congress,” and were not al
lowed to be present at any of its meet
ings. Fair play is a jewel always, and
we demand that Mrs. Westmoreland shall
have it at the hands of her fellow country
men and women of Georgia. When she
puts herself unequivocally upon tho
■platform of the unsexed creatures who
follow in the lead of Vic. Woodhull,
Tennie Claflin et al, it will be in order to
pronounce sentence, upon her, ^ But
surely not until then. , * \bsA JB-I

after a short and painful illness of into-
suscertion of the bowels. Ho was in Ma

complained then, for the first time, of
feeling ill. He was seVenty-eight years
of age the 30th of last July. Sixty
years of hi« life were spent in this part of
Georgia, in active business or dignified
retirement "upon his plantation, and we
may say no man in this region was more

Protest of a Southern Lady.
Atlanta, Ga., November 6,1873.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : Will
you allow space for a true Southern
woman to enter a disclaimer, and make
nn earnest protest upon a subject which
interests all the daughters of our beloved
Southland? i
ft was with grief and indignation that
I recently read an account of a woman’s
congress in New York, where Mrs. West
moreland, formerly of Atlanta, appeared
upon the stage, cordially inviting that
mongrel crew to begin a crusade in the
Sonth, declaring that her countrywomen
were ripe and ready for such a proceed
ing; and that “could they have heard the
papers read at that meeting they would,
with one accord, claim the rights of the
ballot !” Sisters of trie South! Can we
submit to be so misrepresented, so tra
duced ? No, never ! It shall riot’ go out
to the world that such are the sentiments
of tfye countrywomen of Lee and Jack-
son, without denial; yea, earnest, em
phatic denial. With all the strength of
our souls let-us scorn and deny the false,
the debasing imputation.
We said we were grieved and indignarit
at the remarks made by Mrs. Westmore
land;'we cannot say we were surprised.
“ Coming events cast their shadows be
fore,” and none could doubt but that the
author of “Heart Hungry” was not
among sympathetic associates in her na
tive land, and that time and opportunity

the sentiments therein expressed, and so
heartily condemned by every modest
maid and matron here, would there be ap
proved by kin Ired spirits.
But while we are willing for her to en
joy her “affinities,” and satisfy the crav
ings of the “Hunger” of her “Heart,” to
satiety, in Yankee land, we earnestly and
vehemently protest against her being
considered an exponent of the women oi
tho South. We solemnly affirm she is
not, and any “ letters of introduction”
she might give to the female carpet-bag
gers would he ignored by her quondam
acquaintances. Nc drafts made by her
on their hospitality or politeness would
be honored; for srie has severed all the
ties, made weak for some time past, by
her own incompatibility with the genius
of Southern womanhood; and the ex-
exohequer of their forbearance and silence
is exhausted by this unprovoked and wan
ton misrepresentation of them in that
which is their pride—modest adherence
to womanly ways and walks, and utter
repugnance to brave the public gaze.
Such . subjects as busy the brains of
these suffrage seekers are never thought
of but with ridicule and disgust by us.
No, indeed, we wish no “awakening”
to the objects sought after by these hus
band-deserted and husband-deserting re
formers. We are behind trie “progress”
of the times, perhaps, in this section, but
we believe that the fact that God made
man first is a most significant one, and
we know that the Bible instructs wives to
submit themselves to their husbands, and
we find to fulfill the sacred duties of
home occupies our tijue too happily for us

We do not concede any inferiority of
position for ourself, but as totally differ
ent as night arid day let each pursue his
or her own appointed round of duties rind
responsibilities. As the most powerful
forces of nature are the most quiet and
unostentatious, so let woman’s influence
continue to be in our own beloved Dixie.

The Cincinnati Commercial’s Washing
ton-correspondent writes that the opin
ion obtains there tdht the National bank
ing system is daily growing in disfavor
throughout the country, that the banking
associations will not be able to resump
payment, that the whole system is badly
shattered, and that the shrinkage in
valueof the securities held by these hanks
can never be remedied by inflation. Ex
perts in finance say that every hour of
suspension makes resumption more diffi
cult, since a new channel of trade is in
the meantime bping established by a class
of men whose interests will be. hostile to
.the suspended -banks, and will shortly
control the business of the country; It
is believed'thrit thAa banking associations
intend to postpone resumption until’ the
first of January, in the hope that they
will be relieved by Congressional legisla

Fire At Trion Factory—Loss Esti
mated at $15,000 to $20.000—Only
Slight Damage to Machinery and
Building.—Last Monday evening about
half past two o’clock, a fire was discov
ered in the willow room in the main build
ing of the Trion Factory, in Chattooga
county. How it originated is not known.
The property is owned by Messrs. Marsh
& Allgood. The Factory is well supplied
with the most approved tire extinguish
ers, and in the willow room a dire is most
feared and provided against with extra
care. When the alarm was given the large
force pump was put to work and for a few
moments worked admirably and was fast
gaining on the fire, when some derange
ment occurred and for ten minutes the
fire had its own way, and having an ex
ceedingly inflammable material as feeder,
the fire spread rapidlj- and soon covered
th» entire room and caught the adjoining
picking room. Before great damage was
dpue in the latter room the force-pump
'was got ready for action again and in a
short time the fire was under complete
control. The lo3s is estimated to be $15,-
000 or $20,000, principally on raw and
manufactured stock. The damage to the
building and machinery is comparatively
light and the machinery can soon be put
in working order again.
The Savannah News says that the
“New York Yacht Club” have accepted a
proposition to make “Arkwright’s Island”
a rendezvous during the winter months.
The club will put, up boat houses and
other necessary buildings, and will bring
out some of its fast yachts at an early day.
The same paper is surprised to learn
that none of the Savannah merchants
who were exhibitors at the Stuto Fair have
made entries for the Savannah Fair.
We quote the following, from the Co
lumbus Sun, of Thureday:
Merchants Paying Promptly.—The
officers of ’ the various city hanks inform
us that the merchants of Columbus are
promptly meeting their notes as they fall
due. On the, first and fourth, large
amounts matured! and they were paid on
presentation. Only one bank reports ex
tensions, and they wore very few. Plant

'The Condition of Our Cotton Manu
factories.—All continue to runon..V.ll
time, except the Muscogee, which has re
duced its working hours one-quarter.
They are still receiving ordersaud making
collections. The Eagle and- Phenix, our
largest establishment, is getting, along
prosperously.for the season. Writn the.
agents cannot got money in payment o*
notes, they take cotton—hence the com
pany has received more of the staple, then
usual which passed not through tho ware-.
Rouses and the Columbus receipts ftre
swelled that much.
Those Atlanta Cotton Reports.—
•The Atlanta papers report17,030 boles of
cotton received at that place to Tuesday
night—and a stock of. only 752 bales.
There is not a cotton man in the United
States who will credit such a statement.
The stock is out of all proportion to the
receipts and clearly shows that through
cotton has boen reported.
Sale of Guano Cotton.—During the
last day or twoso’me’650 bales known as
guano : otton have been sold in this mar
ket, at from 12} to 13Jc. By contract
with planters, these cottons were to be
delivered to the guano agencies fiere dur
ing the months of October and Novem
ber .in payment for fertilizers at loo. per
pound. So it will be seen the guano men
have lost nearly two cents per pound,
while the planters have paid their debts
with 15c. cotton. The loss will probably
not affect anybody here.
Grand; Military Parade.—At an in
formal meeting of a number of military
officers during the State Fair, it was de
cided to request the Governor, to call out
the rojlitjft of the State in a general en
campment in Macon some time in July.
Jt was understood that Mayor Huff, pri
vate citizens and the Council of . Macon
would raise a purse of $2,0(56—$1,500 to
go to the best drilled volunteer company,
and $500 to the best band. Macon was
the unanimous choice of the Savannah,
Augusta, Macon and Columbus companies.
The details were not perfected, but the
above was agreed upon as the geniral
plan. The Columbus companies should
now bestir themselves so as to be able to
bear off the palm.

Eufaula Correspondence.
Editors Telegraph an-1 Messenger: While
in Macon last week, you honored me with
the poaition of a local correspondent at
thi3 point. You are aware that hut little
transpires in this city, calculated to inter
est a large portion of your readers; yet
there are, occasionally, incidents and mit
tens of -much importance to this people,
which they "discuss among themselves, or
read about in the local newspaper, with
mpre than ,ordinary concern. To keep
you" posted, therefore, in such cUrent
local news as will interest your readers
here", will be the main object of all com-
municat ions you will receive from me for
publication.
The questions now before this people
^are: When will the present hard times
and scarcity of money ceu=e; and when
'will the city council of Eufaula declare
the city bridge across the Chattahoochee
river a fr^e institution ?. Both are pui-
zlers, and a clear solution to cither is in
vited- The scarcity of money is most
seriously affecting trade in this market,
and for the first time in many years, I
have recently seen the streets of Eufaula
lined with cotton, and not a dollar to
move it to the ports. And even now the
price is harely equal to the prert active
value of the staple, leaving nothing in
the shape o£a,profit in the hands of the
^producer. *
A few who are able to do go will, of
'course, hold for higher price®, and it my
be that a few who are inscusihle to their
obligations to those who famished them
with the means to make a crop, may hole
out their cotton until prices advance-
- whatever damage sncli a course may be
to their honor and honesty; but the hott-
est'planter who has staked his all on cot
ton, and is now coming up with his crop
to protect his credit, will suffer severely
-for a short, time, hut in the long um fce
is bound to outstrip his crafty ana ms-
creditable neighbor. When, thertf/e,
the financial pressure is removed, the cse
will receive his reward in the conscious"
ness of having done rieht. and the w®
his punishment in the consciousness®
having impaired his honor ana cn
with no hope of again securing the conn-
dence of his merchant, or the favor,
his warehouseman. .
As to tne bridge question. I would a -
■ply state, that soqner or later the «
council of Eufaula will be compelled by
the popple to declare the bridge pe 11 ^

iness men, and it is confidently beltevw
