Colored scHoois iu tbe South.
Professor H. S. Bennett of tho Fi6k
Uoiversity, in Nashville, in a letter to the
Christian Union, (Mr. Beecher’s paper,)
makes himself an honorable exception to
that class of Northern preachers and
teachers who think it a part of their duty
to write invidious, unfriendly, and often
slanderous letters npon the Southern
people, for the apparent purpose of pan
dering to sectional prejudice. Correcting
a statement made by Bishop Gilbert Ha
ven, that the public school system in the
Southern States has broken down, Prof.
Bennett writes:
But if it ne said that the remarks [of
Haven] apply to the colored schools of
tbe South, the statement is not true. In
every Southern State the school systems
recognize the claims of the colored peo
ple and make provieion for the education
of colored children. In the report of the
Commissioner of Education referred to
trie distinction between white and colored
children is not always made, and yet is
obaeivad frequently enough to enablo ns
to know what ia dona for the colored
youth ia States where ire would expect
toe least.
Pur instance, in Mississippi, for the
.ear’75-’7G, -hero were in at endacee in
the public schools 90,178 colored ohildreo
or sbont 64 per cent of tbe entire colored
-choiastio population. There were 14,-
000 more ooloTed children in school dur
ing the year than white. In South Caro
lina thera were 70.802 colored children in

Hohool>. Iu Tscneasee 45.000 attended
school last y.".r. Having bsen engaged
for the past twelve years in preparing
teachers for colored sobooia, I know from
experience that there has been a growing
demand for teaobers from neatly all the
States in the Soatb. Those States wbiob
have not made demands npon Fisk Uni
versity for teachers ere so far remote tha'
it is more economical for them to draw
their supply from sources nearer home.
We have sent teachers into Gsorgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Ken
tucky and of codrse Tenncesaa. The de
mand is growing from year to year. Any
aompeteat colored man or woman can
get a school in the Sonth.
Tbe Northwest Passage Found.
The Herald of Wednesday chronicles
the discovery of a Northeast passage by
way of Behring Strait and the .Kara sea,
by a Sweedish Arctic Expedition under
Nordenskjold, who started fiom the
Norwegean coast last July, in a small
steamer, and wa3 reported off the month
of the Lena river, (Siberia), August 20th,
with a clear sea and every prospect of
reaching Behring Strait. We shall risk
nothing on his chances of getting through
that etrait, or on the practical valna of
of the rout', bat the Herald says:
The reader can easily imagine the
commercial advantages of a navigable
rente from Western Europe to Japan and
Coins via the Kara Sea and Behring
Strait. Sceh a route, if found practica
ble for steamers even daring a few
months of each year, wonld open np to
trade the nor hern h- If of the vast con
tinent of Asia now drained by tho rivetB
Obi, Yenisei end Lena, which wil’, with
out doubt, prove navigable for great dis
tances from their months. Professor
Nordenekjald has shown already that
trading vessels osrrying profitable cargoes
can reach the mouth of the Yenisei iu
August and September, and so as to re
turn to Europe lidsn with marketable
freight befote iho ioa again closes the
Kara Sea.
Vonbllng rashes tbe Purple
Aside.
If we may credit the New York Graphic
Senator Conkling, having advised with
his friend?, desires it to be understood
that he is not a candidate for tho Presi
dency, his ambition being perfectly satis-
fl< d with the Senatorahip from New York
which he now holds and to which he will
be re-elected. The truth is, says the
Philadelphia Times, that with Grant and
Blaine in the field Mr. Conkling could
only hope to make a good third, and if he
is in earnest in the determination as
cribed to him it is probably another indi
cation of bis disposition to lead the move*
ment to bring ‘‘the old man” back to
“the boys.” Thon, if Grant could not
get the nomination, or wonld not have it,
after all, npon whoso shoulders would it
fall more appropriately than upon those
of Grant’s next friend and advocate ? In
any event the boys will bo comforted by
the double-leaded assurance, from the
semi-official source named above, that
'Senator Conkling can take as good care
of his friends as the chief Senatorial sup
porter of the Bepubiican President as if
he were President himself.”
Hop-ISeer and Cider.
Norwich, Connecticut, has just finished
a convulsing trial for the crime of vend
ing bop-beer and cider; and the man who
eommitied that crime had to pay one
hundred dollars’ fino and costs. Two
Yale college scientists differed as to the
amount of alcohol found floating in the
beer—Professor Silliman fixing it at 4.72
percent., and Professor Hayes at 3 per
cent. Either waa considered a fatal
amount in Connecticut. If the bakers
had been summoned, we fear they would
probably have testified to an equal or
larger amount of alcohol in tho very
breakfast rolls of the jury—a discovery
which would have paralyzed the State,
and perhaps ruined the great (a-i3a of
total abstinence from alcohoL
TriclilnosiS.
Tvo well-Known medical experts in
Chicago have been making very extended
inquiries into tb9 prevalence cf Trichina
in the pork slaughtered there. They have
carefully examined microscopica ly the
carcasees of nineteen hundred swine, and
found trichmce in eight per cent, of them
The disease does not affect tbe healthfnl
appearance of the swine, and the trioh-
iLse are not visible to the naked eye-
They are destroyed by the temperature
necessary to thoroughly c-<ok tbe pork,
but not affected by salt or smoke used in
curing. Toe leeson is, “cook your pork
m all forms thoroughly, and as far as
agreeable nse some other meat.”
Bright Christmas shopping:.
Some of the New York store*—notably
Lord and Taylor’s, on Grand stroot—are
brilliant at night with Eleotrio Lights,
which throw an effulgent splendor over
their goods, far more brilliant than sun
light itself in those premises. Very like
ly when the Electrio Light comes into
general use, night will be the favorite
time for shopping in the large cities, for
mnch of those grand aggregations of mer
chandise ia necessarily thrown into shade
and comparative darkness by sunlight.
Distress is Bbitisk Manutactubing
Districts.—The foreign telegrams give
farther illustration of the destitution and
distress of the unemployed operatives in
the manufacturing districts of Great Bri
tain. The idle and pennilesa have a long
and dreary winter before them, and the
si nation is made more unpromising by
the fact that the wealthier classes* must
furnish relief from diminished resources.
Bad Weathkb.—Another day of heavy
ia ; u yesterday sncceeded a day and night
of signal performance of the eamo chat ac

tbe ‘G ant wa*e” which he should not
be surprised to see carrying the
ex-Prcsident into the exeentiye
chair again on a gronnd swell of
popular enthusiasm. But Garfield is
cautious; for he adds, that, aftar all, he
should not be surprised to see a counter
wav* sot in; which, being explained, may
j perhaps mean tho wave ot the bloody

Capt. A O. Bacon.—This gentleman
is at home again, and we have had the
pleasure of taking him by the hand.
Bibb county, and Georgia too, are proud
of the record he has made time and again
as the third officer in the State Govern
ment.
That learned parliamentarian. Chancel
lor Mell, who is himself the best exem
plar of what ho teaches, declared to the
writer last summer that Speaker Baoon
was one of the most prompt, unerring
and accomplished presiding officers he
had ever met. This was a high compli
ment, coming from inch a source, buten
tirely just, sa the worst enemy of our
Representative must admit.
We bad the opportunity for several
days of closely observing his ratings,
prompt action, and courteous deportment
in the Speaker’s chair, npon occasions of
great difficulty and delicacy, and never
saw him hale a second in his instantane
ous and apposite deliverances npon points
of order, and the complex phases of the
most excited debate.
Few, if any, of his decisions are ever
reversed by an appeal to the House. It
it fortunate that wo have each a presiding
officer at this time to shape and regulate
the important legislation which will be
reqnired ere tbe new Constitution can be
foliv and faitly inaugurated.
Taking Christmas.—Congress begins
its Christmas to-night and keeps it np to
the 7th of January—having fourteen
cays of it. Outsiders can’t take so much
Christmas as that comes tc; bat we hope
they will all enjoy themselves. It is a
fine thing to bn a public servant—fix your

A Brief Visit to Two of the Pub-
lie schools of filacou.
The writer cat loose from his sanctum
and daily routine of dnty yesterday, and
braving the rain and Arctic weather, made
the best of his way, first, to the North
Mason School, on the Polhill lot. Here
hs found presiding over the fourth class,
those two nobis ladies a.ad excellent
teachers, Miss Clara Smith and Mrs. Ei-
dings.
The school numbers 37 pnpils, all of
whom arc accommodated in an apartment
about half es large as it should be, and
warmed by a smoking stove. But the
children looked healthy and happy, and
bore unmistakable evidence of good and
kind treatment. We arrived tco late to
witness the exercists, bat some of Ma
con’s best people were present, and ex
pressed themselves highly gratified with
all that they saw and heard. After the
examinations were over, speaking, reel
tations and dialogues followed,
and the children acquitted them'
selves most creditably. Two of the
best orators spoke a piece enti
tled, the “Bival Speakers,” and each
enacted his part to ths life, completely
using np his antagonist and knocking
him “out of the ring.” The entire pro
ceedings wore interesting and sarisfastory,
and show that the gentle ladies in charge
are trne to their trusts. It is an ill wind
that blows nobsdv any good, and tbe
cruel war which brought poverty and dis
tress to the proudest and noblest families
in the land, also furnished a host of in
structors for the poor and illiterate chil
dren of th - country, who have not their
equal in refinement, intelligence and tru
nobility cf charaoter on the habitnble
globe. Among these tbe names of Miss
Clara Smith, Mrs. Eddings and Miss Bessie
Merrill stand forth prominently and chal
lenge admiration. We oonld instance
many others equally deserving, but speak
uow particularly of the ladies in charge of
the fourth class and High School, which
were the only departments of our pnblio
•obool system wo had timo to visit. Oa s
Kub.-cqaent occasion we hops to pay oar
respeots to the other gentle ladies who
are doing so mnch to redeem from igno
ranoe tbe youth of all classes in the oom-
mnnity.
Wo paid a brief visit to the room of Mr.
McMvas, and were much pleased with
the ii damation and reoitations ef his
pop 1-. Oa the looal page, however, fuller
particulars of the same will be found.
THX MACON HIGH SCHOOL.
Despite the opposition waged against
this branch of our pnblio high sobools,
we found it under the admirable man*
agement of Mr. J. F. Barfield and Miss
Bessie Merrill, in & most flourishing con
dition. Nnmbered among the pnpils
were children of the first families and
bluest blood in Macon. And their demean
or and performances showed that they
were not only w-11 taught bat under the
best training, mentally and morally. Mr.
Barfield ia a good scholar and deoiphoa-
rian, and withal apsrfeot gentleman and
Christian. Hisa Bessie Merrill, too, his
accomplished assistant, is one of the most
thorough instructors and loveable ladies
in the country. Her pupils simply idolize
her, and the benignant influence ot such
a woman npon those entrusted to her
care is ot itself of incalculable value.
When we arrived.the examinations had
closed aud the exhibition proper bat just
commenced. This was in every respeot
creditable and interesting. The speak
ere and readers bad been allowed to seleot
their own themes, and the variety was
both refreshing and spicy.
Poetry, history, the feuilletons of mod
ern writers, and a traveatie npon the
grandest passages in the lives of Cesar,
Brutus and Mark Anthony were rendered
in good style, when we consider tbe
yontb of those who represented those
characters.
If it wero not invidious, we could call
names and mention instances where the
pupils distinguished themselves, and re.
fleeted honor npoo the High School of
bicb they wero members.
Ou tho whole, rnaogre the opposition to
thi* department of pnblio edao*tion, we
o*n bat regard it as the prolific nursery
of W-leyan College, Mercer University
and the other firat-olass literary founda
tions of tbe St-te. And whe has a bet
ter right to demand tbe oontinnanoe of
these schools of a superior grade for the
benefit of their obildren, than the tax-pay-
em, who oontribnte the lion’s share to the
anpporc of the elementary schools for alt
classes. We cbeerf oily endorse tbe man
agement and conduct of the Bibb oounty
pnblio schools, and trust ihsttbey may
continue to iuorease m numbers and grow
in usefulness.

who tats roa it.
I waa talking witb a prominent Wear
tern efflaial a few days since, who gave me
■ome interesting Information about Grants
present tour in Europe, or rather where
the money came from, that enabled the
ex-Prciident to make it in such grand
style. This gentleman holds a high posi
tion iu a Western oity, under the present-
administration, and, has known Grant
long and well. I expressed tbe opinion
that Grant mast be very watm, financial
ly, tostand the heavy expense of sneh a
trip, taken in snou style, oerteinly entail
ed, when hnreplted: "It doesn’t cost him
anything. Ha is not spending his own
money. Tbe fund* is thertsut of asnb-
soription, made np by certain capital
ists in New York and Philadelphia,
p ominent among whom are Commo
dore Garrison and Joseph Ssbgman, of
Now York. They both contributed htar-
ily, being strong personal friends of
Grant and were helped oat by George W.
Childs and the Drexel coterio in Pbi a-
delphia. Commodore Garrison is a Demo
crat, but a great admirer of Grant, and
especially of his financial notions, and
while he, very probably voted against
and will hereafter oppose Grant as a
Presidential candidate,stand always r. ad>
to line his pocket when he needs funds.”
This gentleman also expressed the very
confident opinion that Grant was far from
rich and that he and Mrs. G., when tney
returned home, wonld have to look pretty
closely at their expenditures to make
both ends meet snngly. Yon will see,
therefore, that the “boss” has another
incentive besides ambition and lust for
power for capturing the Whito House
stakes in 1880.
HOW RESUMPTION HAS BEALL? BE2N BE
SUM ED.
For the first time since January 13 b,
1802, gold is worth no more in open mar
ket than greenbacks. At New York, yes
terday, as doubtless you read this moro
lag, gold sold at par, and thna resump
tion of epeoio payment was praotically
established. John Suetman ia roportod
to have fairly danosd with del'gnt, and
thera were some faint indications of blood
in his faoe. He actually thawed suffici
ently to throw a penny to a beggar wo
man and stand drinks around for a select
olrole of congratulatory callers. It eeems
to me he is fally justified in these extrav
agant demonstrations. That treasury
notes should be at par two weeks before
tbe date fixed by law, seems to me un
doubted proof that resumption will suc
ceed. It shows that the grand essential
confiienos on the part of
tbe oonntry in tho actuality and
stability of the thing is present, and that
henceforth there will be little ttonble in
maintaining it. It has been a long road
and a rough one. On the date above
named gold sold at 103, and daring the
year went as high as 133$. Ic opened at
the latter quotation in 1863, and closed
on the 81st of December the same year
at 171J. It was highest ia Jane of that
year, and in January and February 1865
The highest point xeached was when Jim
Fisk used his burly shoulders to give it a
boost up to 242i. From that toploftical
perch it tumbled to 122, ranging for the
next two years from those figures to 191J
After the passage of the resumption act
in 1875, it began a gradual downward
much until it struok the bottom yestei*
day. Imagine how the greenbaekers
feel after thio sockdolager right between
the eyes. In the language of a late em
inent statesman of New York, “What are
they going to do about it?” One of the
chief planks of the crazy craft upon
whioh some of them floated into the har
bor of office—the repeal of this very act—-
having been smashed, what is to bsoome
of tbem?

A VETERAN EDITOR AND SOLDIER.
General Alpheus S. Williams, of Da-
troir, a Democratic member of the pres
ent Honse, crossed over tbe dark river
this morning and is, 1st us trust, at rest
beneath the trees on the other side.
After service in two wars the old hero was
shun by apoplexy, the first stroke of which
was felt last Monday while he was pre.
Biding aa Chairman of tho House Com
mittee on the District of Colombia. He
waa bom in 1810, and for forty-two years
hat lived in Detroit, where he was for five
year proprietor and editor of the
Advertiser, and from which eity
he went to Mexico ae Lieutenant
Colonel of a Michigan regiment and after
ward* served as a brigadier and major
general in the Federal army. Ho march
ed through Georgia with Sherman as
commander of the 20th Corpe, bat I will
ge bail he neither stole or wantonly de
stroyed any property, nor permitted hia
men to do it if he oonld possibly prevent
it. His death leaves Miohegan with a
solid Radical delegation, and one of the
meanest and most malignant in the
House, taking that old creature, Conger,
as a specimen. It seems to me the Lord
must have an awfnl spite against a people
when he inflicts them with Z&ch Chan
dler and Conger at the same time.

nee, Mr. George F Cherry.
Mr. Smith, it is said, went into the
primary election and voted as a Demo
crat, which makos his conduot the more
inexcusable. We trust every man
who calls himself a Democrat in Bibb
oounty will rally to Mr. Cherry and elect
him by a majority so overwhelming that
it may be a lesson in all time to come to
those who, under the gnise of indepead>
ent candidates, are willing to play into
the hands of tbs Radicals, and thereby
jeopardise the peace and prosperity of
the oonntry.
Again we eay, vote th9 Democratic

Tbe luue of tbs Row Four For
Cent. Bond*.
The question of the constitutionality of
these bonds was raised by the opponent!
of the measure in tbe Legislature, though
the bill was passed in both Houses with
rare unanimity. It waa thought too, that
the Northern papers, and notably the
hard money men, would be down npon the
transaction as adding slightly to tho “in
nation,” they affect to dread so muoh
Bat these bonds will differ In no re
speot whatever, from those they are de.
signed to replace aud retire, save tn the
size of them and the rate of interest
the oonpons attaohed. Moreover, It
said that so eagerly will they be sought
after as investments, that the majority
have already been spoken for, and doubt
less will bo pigeon holed by th9 fortunate
pnroha3eie. Still it is a comfott to know
that they oan and will be used as oarten
oy if basinoss looks np and they oan be
profitably employed in the ordinary trans
actions of trad?.
Hear what tbe New Yotk Post has to
say of tbe Garrard bonds:
“This is a good example as to the prices

*'In former times, we think, a majority
of the New England banks, or at lenst
great part of it, was in the hands of
i armors, mechanics, sma'l traders and
working men and women, and it may be
so still, but if it is not it might be, and a
now coneervativo element bs added to tho
forces of society. The loans of the
French government are for the most part,
offered in small sums, and one reason
for tbe enormous subscriptions to them
is that “the men in blouses’, as well as
the menof the b .urs-s are ubbscribers.”
Georgia’s standing: Abroad.
We oallattentioa to the following very
admirable article on this snbjtct, whioh
is dipped from the Colomocs Inquirer-
Sim. It contains nothing but tbe sobtt
truth graphically stated, and tbe compl'.'
ment to our Lsgislators is timely, and
well desemd. Verily, our noble com*
monwealth ttsnds full advanced, aedthe
equal of any ot ber sisters financially,
and in all those grand elements of pros*
parity which render a State greet and
powerful.
Georgia's Credit.—It stands high.
Wall street threatened that if the State
disowned the eight millions of bonds is
sued by Bullock and his company, her
securities would not be placed on the
bosids. Georgia did it, and Wall street
attempted to accomplish its vengeance
by fulfilling its agreement. This hap
pened abont six years ago. Georgia has
mot receded one step from bar determi
nation, and we now find her seven per
centp. quoted in New York at 106
to 109i—a very fair prioe for the
bonds of a Stato that Wall street
alh-Eod had destroyed her cred
it. Every prediction of the Northern
financiers has been falsified. They used
their every endeavor to have the Bullock
bonds stand, but were defeated, and then
ere powerless to do harm. Georgia re
fused to be plundered by a gang of for
eign robbers, who, while temporarily ia
power, ic8ned bonds and divided them
umong themselves. Every legal obliga
tion was assumed by the people, but they
bitterly refused to pay tor that which was
deliberately stolen.
Oar present Legislature is one that will
add to tne States’ financial standing. Ic
is not a body that can be bribed or bul
lied. Tbo members have not done muoh
that is new, but they have killed much
chat would havo been harmful. Tbe
main work ha3 been accomplished in
committee rooms, and many a bill h&s
been killed in them. Taxes have been re
duced and the treasury more closely guar
ded. They have provided for tbe issa
ance of small bonds, bearing four
per cent, interest for the payment of
1500,000 principal and interest failing
due in the next two years. If the United
States can place its fonr per cent, bonds,
surely Georgia which can pay out of debt
at any time by the role of her property
can do likewise. We have heard on good
Ku-hority that one Atlanta bank will take
$25,000 of them, and the people will sub
scribe to them largely aa a safe invest
ment. It will b* a signal vindication of
Georgia’s credit, if success attend the ef
fort in placing a fonr per cent, loan at
par.
Senator Maine,
The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican speaks of
Blaine’s “utterly rotten character as a
statesman and politician,” saying :
"It would muoh surprise your pious,
straight-tioket Republican readers to
know in what estimation this same Jim
Blaine is held by the honest, well-inform
ed observers here, who have watched his
whole Congressional career. It is not
•imply bis sharp, nnicrupnlons politi-
eel trickery, the servant of his un
bridled ambition, whioh stoops at
anything to attain its purposes, that they
will tell yon of. Nor is it alone the Lit
tle Bock and Fort Smith Railroad en
tanglement, from which he hae never
made escape, that damns him in the eyes
of honorable and upright mei. There
are other reproaohes on his good name
whispered About from mouth to mouth,
other inetaneea in whioh his character
has fallen a viot'm te the mercenary
spirit of aggrandisement and ambition
that seems to direct his course. That
this mine of infamy and dishonor wonld
be exploded undsr hia feat in case the
Republicans were mad enongh to send
him into the Presidential race as their
leader I cannot doubt.”
The writer says that “notwithstanding
all this burden of unworthiness, Blaine
is the idol of his Forty,” because of bis
“brilliant intellectual gifts” and bis “re
markable personal msgnrtiam.” Such a
man. eo intellectually brilliant, aud so
great a “mine of infamy and dishonor” un
der him, ready to be exploded should his
party nominate him, is like Prometheus,
who, stealing life giving fire from heaven,
was chained to a rook, with a vulture
perpetually gnawing his liver. Blaine
is a lesson and a warning to the aspiring
youth of the land.
Not disagreeable; hardly more bitter
than lager beer j and muoh more satis
factory and pleasant. Simmons’ Liver
Regulator can be taken at any time, with
out interfering with business or pleasure.
It is so gentle, eafe, and such a good di
gester, that it is often used after a hearty
meal to settle the food and relieve any
apprehension that the meal may disagree
with you. deo!7 lw

Convention or Northern Settlers
Mi-. A. Dumont, a Northern man, who
has settled in tho neighborhood of Char
lotte, North Carolina, calls a Convention
of Northern settlers in the Carolines and
Georgia, since the war, for objects speci
fied in his ciicnlar, whioh we quote. The
Convention is appointed for the 15tu day
of January next, and Mr. Dumont has
widely distributed the invitation as fol
lows:
Charlotte, N. O., Dee. 14,1878.
Dbab Sib:—I have consulted with a
number of gentlemen who have moved
Horn New York, New Hampshire and
other Northern Slates and Bottled in this
State, South Carolina aud Georgia since
tbe war, mauy of them ex-Union sol
diers. I myself am from Springfield,
Mass. Tbo conclusion that I have ar
rived at is, that Northern men have in
tbelr hands the solnt.on of the question
a* to whether any considerable number
of good Northern men and aotive North
ern capital oan be diverted to the Soot*.
Many of the Northern papers are giving
wrong notions as to how Northern people
are reeeived, and yon know how many ot
oar friends will not pat maob faith in
wtat Southern men or papeis tap on thiB
head.
We who have consulted npon this mat
ter deem it wise to hold a convention of
Northern men only, who have se tied
South since the war—good, fair repre-
hentariTe men. Your name has been
given as such an one. Ids thought wise
to hold this convention about January
15th at Charlotte, N. C., it being more
central for alL Arrangements have been
made with the railreaus for round trip at
one fare. Will you be kind enough to
signify if you will come or not? and if
yon cannot come please address me a let
ter elating yonr views.
It is deBired in the convection to pre-
pare a statement for pnbhoatton in
Northern papers, setting forth the soil,
Climate, prices, ease of making a living
and social treatment of tne individual
Northern mac. It is not deBired to cover
any question of pclitios or ex-.rems views
of any kind.
“In yonr letter, whether of acceptance
or deolination, please state whether yon
were in tbe Federal army, company and
regiment, where yon moved from to yonr
present teridenoe, and how lung yon nave
resided at yenr present whereabouts.
“We shall be glad to hear from yon at
the earliest day. Yonr obedient setv’e.
“N. Dumont. Charlotte, N. C.”
The project, we think, i3 a judicious
and patriotio one. It is greatly for the
interest of the Southern States that those
false impressions should be dissipated,
and immigration from ail quarters on-
oonraged.
Thb Proposed Reorganization of thb
Armt.—We are glad to see by late dis
patches from Washington that the long
contemplated reform in the military es
tablishment of the country i3 in a fair
way to be inaugurated.
The joint commission appointed by the
last Congress to consider and take action
npon this subject have performed their
work most thoroughly. One hundred and
sixty-five officers are to be dispensed with
and several important departments con
solidated. It is provided that the army
shall be reduced to thirty-one regiments,
five of artillery, eight of cavalry and
eighteen of infantry. Each of these
regiments, when fully manned, will con
sist of four battalions, but on the peace
basis tbe fourth battalion is to remain nn-
officered and “sis cadre.” The army is
aot to exceed 25,000 men, and general
officers are to be retired at the age of 65
years, aad all others at 62.
The bill will oom9 up for diaoussion
early in the new year, and if it becomes
a law will result in a very great saving to
the conntry.
What is theme of an expansive stand
ing army when we havo hundreds of
thousands of the best drilled and equipped
volunteer soldiers in tho world, who, in
tweutj-four hours, would be ready to
maroh anywhere and dare every danger
m behalf of their flsg and country. A
standing army is tbe pliant and conven
ient toolof an unprincipled and tyrannioal
President like Grant, and the smaller the
force at his beck and call the better for
the safety and liberties of the people.
Remember the Poor.—Friends, yon
who are laying in stotes of good things in
the shape of fat turkeys, mince moat and
pretty presents for your families at thiB
<loas season, in God’s name, remember
those who are wistfully looking on, bnt
destitnto of tha means of procuring per
haps even the most pressing articlo of
ncoetsity.
A little self-denial; the saorifioe of
some slight superfluity or personal grati
fication; the bestowment of a lead of
wood, a warm garment, a side of baoon, a
saek of floor, or even a package of bon-
bms for the children, may send annihine
and bippiness to an entire household.
Think, then, ot the poor in the midst of
yjut enjoyment, and even if what you
give is at the oost of ume personal oom-
fort or luxary, be sure tne peaoe of mind
which will ensue is worth the saorifioe a
hundred times over. “It le more blessed
to give than to receive, and he that givetb
to tbe poor landath to the Lord.”
nCRDEB AT WADLEY,
Work of the Bloody Knife—Robbery
tbe lucrative—No Clue to tbe Slur
derer.
Wad ley, an unpretentious and quiet
station on the Central road, commonly
known as No. 10£, was thrown into a fever
of excitement yesterday moraine by the
discovery that daring the still watches of
the preceeding night a murder of
more than ordinary brutality bad been
committed in its midst.
Yesterday, early in the morning, the
first circumstances which led to tbe know!
edge of mnrder was tbe discovery that
the doors of the store-house of Messrs.
Beddingfield, Mnrpby & Co., were open
When the store was entered Mr. Stephens
clerk of the firm, was round lying on the
floor on his back, with his throat cat
literally from ear to car, and his blocd
scattered and spree d over the floor
his aide was a bloody razor, which was
either left by tbe assassins in their flight
or as is more popularly supposed, waB
placed there to lead to the belief that tho
deceased had committed enicide.
Oa the counter of the store, Mr. Ste
phens’ watoh and ring were lying unac
countably left by the person or persons
committing the deed. These articles
most have been regarded as dangerous,
and apt to f urniah evidence against the per
petratois sooner orlaier. The post-office
of the place is kept in tho same building,
This was found broken open and the snm
of $15 missing from it, dispelling ail ideas
of the suicide theory. The cash drawer
was rifled of a small amount of money
and the eafe of the store had been tam
pered with.
From appeuranoss some blunt, dull in
strument wa* nsed in the ineffectual ef.
fo is at entering this repoaitciy. Besides
ths-o other ' indicat oas of robbery
are reported, and money seem3 to havo
been the buIo object of the murderer.
Mr. Stephen* bleeps at the store. Hi
bad clothing waa turned down and every
thing made ready for the night, bnt the
bed was unused, showing that tho deed
must have committed eerly in the night.
There are several theories but none as
yet have brought forth any tangible re
sults. One is that some one made some
purchases and calling back about bed
tim? for them gained entrance and then
committed the deed and fled. No
clue has been discovered which points to
any one. Liberal rewards have been
offered and the Governor notified of tho
killing and every effort will bo made to
capture tbe murderer.
The atrocity of the deed, being com
mitted in the dead hoars of the night en
a young man without an enemy, and of
a vary harmless disposition, has created
intense excitement in tho village of Wad-
ley.
The suspicion is aroused is there not
some one in the community who has been
committing foul deeds unsuspected?
Abont a year since, it will oe remembered
that a Mr. Cornwall was murdered at No.
10, just five miles away, under similar
circumstances, and the storehouse burned
over the body. No clue was ever discov
ered to the mnrder, although mnch money
wa3 expended in ferreting it oat with first-
class detective talent.
HvsBorHOBiA is said to be uncom
monly prevalent in Wilmington, Dela
ware. George Sedgwick, a worthy citi
sen, died there on the 18th, from tho ef-
feots of a bite received in June last,
under most distressing oironastanoee,
and several persons have been recently
bitten by mad dogs in various parts ef
the oity.
Governor Hampton.—Wo are sorry te
entertain the impression, forced upoa tu
from various souroee, that Gov. Hamp
ton, of South Carolina, is not likely to
recover from his recent injury. The lots
of snoh a max will be a great grief and
disappointment—not alone to the De
mocracy ot the Senth, but to every intel
ligent patriot throughout the oonntry.
The honse owned by ex-Preaident
Grant, in Washington, was sold the other
day at $18,000 It cost the General $25,-
000 The fact is cited as evidence of tho
greit depreciation of proparty in that
oitj; but no doubt the average deprecia
tion throughout tbe oouotry is far above
this.
Hon. Bbvxbly Douglas, of Virginia,
was dangerously and almost hopelessly
ill in Washington yesterday.
A Slander Refuted —A ridiculously
malicina statement having been put forth
recently that Col James Cameron, broth
er of ex-Senator Simon Cameron, receiv
ed his death wonnd at the first battle of
Manassas from the hands of Gen. Wade
Hampton, after having been made a pris
oner, Major W. W. Goldsborough; whe
commanded a company in the first Mary,
land (Confederate) Regiment, and took
partin that battle, has published an em
phatic denial of the slander, in which he
shows, among other things, that Gen.
Hampton was carried from the field des
perately wonnded some time before Ool.
Cameron’s regiment became .engaged in
the fight. But to those who know Gen.
Hampton’s bravery in battle and mag
nanimity in the hour of vietory, thiB ex
posure of each a slander was unnecessary.

Macon, December 19, 1878.
To ••A Democrat:”
Dear Sib—Your kind favor is before
me and has been duly and carefnlly con
sidered. In reply I hava < say that I
am a Democrat, and when voting at all,
nBually cast in my voice with that party.
TbuB I voted for CoL Hardeman, Ur.
Blount and other Democrats and feel
identified with the interests and fortunes
of Macon and my fellow citizens. I should
not have occupied the position of an in
dependent candidate for Ordinary in the
last election it the opinion had not been
general that the short notice given at the
time for holding the primary election had
prevented afair expression of the people’s
sentiments as to who should represent
them. Folly half of the Democracy in
consequence of that feeling took no part
in the primary election. It is very dif
ferent in tbe present instance, however,
where due and aufficieat notice was given
and a fall vote polled. I beg leave re
spectfully to decline your invitation to
run independent for Sheriff, and shall con.
abide and support the nomination of the
Democratio party. C. T. Ward.

Sudden Deatb or an Old Colored Kan
Oa Friday night an old colored man by
the man of Jake Gray died very suddenly-
in a house near Tatnall Square, m a
manner which at firet suggested that ho
might have been foully dealt wi h. The
old man lived on the plaee of Mr. Theo
W. Ellis, beyond Tatnali Square, and boa
lived with that gentleman for four or
five ytars past. On Friday evening ho
brought Mr, Ellis’horse and buggy to
him at his drug store between 7 dnd 8
o’clock and at that time got some money
from him.
After ten o’clock a young man who
was retnrning from a party found tho old
man lying in tho railroad cut near tho
street car bridge over the out on the side
of the track. Help was summoned and
th9 old man put in a wheelbarrow and
carried to the borne of Mr. A Y. Adam
son, where he died about two hours af
ter.
At first it was supposed that he might
have been thrown into the out by some
one. The night, it will be remembsred,
was extremely inclement, and it is now
thought that in going home, he was
under the inflaenae of liquor, and either
fell into tho out or lost his way and wan
dered into it and falling on tne eroastler,.
so injured himself that he died. He was
quite old, a faithful hardworking darkey,
but addicted to getting intoxiov.ed, and
this doubtless was tho ultimate cause of
his death.
THB WAY VANDERBILT SUCCEEDED.
When Commodore Vanderbilt was run
ning steamboats, he beat all rivals by
crowding on oteam to the utmost, and
even running down his enemy if neces
sary, to accomplish a triumph. When ha
went into railroading, he adopted a much
shrewder and more successful way, by
uniting vast lines and their tributaries
under bis own management, thus captur
ing all rivals, by sharing with them the
immense pool of profits that were made
by his skillful manipulation. Messrs.
Lawrence & Co., Bankers, N. Y., accom
plish a much greater success in stock
operations by their new Combination
Method of dealing. By this system tho
orders of thousands of cuetomera are
