Bkxatoe B: t,ed xxd the Fbesisekcv
Tho Now York Times, says the Baltimore
Son, has a letter from Wilmington, BeL
purporting to give an amount efthe plans
of Senator Bayard's friends to eecorefor
him the Democratic nomination for the
presidency in i88) It is claimed that he
•an secure the -solid South,’ together with
fifty vot:s from ibo pivotal hard money
States of the East, New York, Connecticut
and New Jersey, and that this will give him
183 votes, or three mo;o than a ms j ority of
the electoral college. Tco Times, In com
minting editorially npon this commnnica
tiou, tikea occasion to say of Mr. Bayard
that ‘he has been ‘faiibfal among the faith-
leas found’ on the vital question of finance,
and the adoption of his name by the Demo
crat* in 1830 would go far toward taking the
currency queationout of politics, and in the
right way. For this reason every fair-min
ded friend of honest and safe money should
be glad to see him chosen. As to the other
questions which would be brought to the
front by his nomination, it is not to ba deni
ed that these would, in all likelihood, turn
on the relations of the Southern people with
the national government.'
Eouthebx Cm Diets—A New Yotk letter
to the News and Oourisr aays: 'Unfavora
ble advioea are coming from many of the
Southern dtles that have interest to pay on
their bonded indebtedness on or about the
1st of January. Their creditors are largely
in this city, and naturally there is no little
anxiety In oonsequanoe. Up to this »rtif
there is no assurance that even New Orleans
will be able to raise the less than $500,000
to meet the January coupons on the State
debt, while from Obarleeton, Savannah,
Maoon, Memphis and other points there are
intimations not leu ditomraging. Mean
while there la a great deal of telegraphing
between here and there. One of the leading
banka in this city is understood to be a large
holder of the New Orleans obligations alluded
to, and it has abent given up the hope of
seeing the money. The bad effect of this
loss of credit by these Southern communities
will be a serious drawback to their prosperi
ty for a long while to oome. In some esses,
It is feared, creditors will have to submit to
a ruinous scaling down of their obligations,
or run the risk of losing everything by repu
diation.’

Ellison & Co.’s circular for December
says consumers will not buy cotton,
“because it is cheap.” Jost so! a great
deal of human nature in that remark.
Don’t Slaughter Nice Vegeta
hies and Your Own Digestion
—Howto Cook Beans.
An exchange says: The usual way peo
ple cook beans is to parboil them, put
them in a kettle or pan and set them in
the oven to bako with a'piece of fat pork
in them. The grease oozes out into tbo
beans, causing un unwholesome and in
digestible mass, deatroyiag the flavor of
the beans. Now my method of cooking
tlcm (which all who have tried pro
nounce excellent) is as follows: Parboil
as ufaual, salt to suit the taste, then pat
them in a pan and place in the oven to
bake, putting in » piece of good sweet
butter—tha siz i a butternut will an
swer. Bake «.j. i tender and nicely
browned over on the top. Beans are
very nutrition?, uod cooked in this a ay
are palatable, digestible and can b6 eaten
by any one. If yon want the park, cook
it in a dish by itself.
If cur housekeepers will bat heed this
advice, they will save their children from
the horrors of dyspepsia, and oaute the
pulse and other delicate vegetables of the
garden to ba enjoyed just as they are, and
with all the flavor the Goi of Nature
gave to them. To treat them with rank
old bacon charged with rancid oil, is to
prepare a repast not even a crocodile
conld digest. Cabbage, turnipr, aspara-
gai, or ccllards, cooked ly themselves, in
(too water?, with salt and a little good
butter and pepper added, furnUh healthy
and toothsome dishes.
But saturate them with the grease from
a chunk of fat bacon, and while you may
swallow the aforesaid “garden eass,” the
only thing yon taste is the horrible bacon,
perhaps, garnished with dead skippers.
Why thus pervert nature?
Allot the best cooking books eschew
this treatment of our delicious dew
spangled vegetables, and surely house
keepers should take the hint. Try a
mess of Yankee beans, cooked according
tv tho (o»sn1iis»up., and bocu-vlnccfl.
Vasdxbbilt’s hew Move.—A new line
of steamships, says the New York Tri
lune, to be called the Unicorn Line, has
been established, to run in connection
with the New York Central Bailway. The
wbarvEB and elevator recently bnilt by
this road at the foot of West Sixty-first
street, havo been constructed to meet
the requirements of the new line, eo as to
give New York through terminal facili
ties. A contract was signed December
14, between Wm. H. Vanderbilt and
John C. Seger, a ship broker, by which
the latter agrees to place at the disposal
of the New York Central as many steam'
ere as desired to carry Western freight to
Earope. The ports named in the contract
are Liverpool, Hamburg, Antwerp, Havre,
and any other important points in Great
Britain or on tho Continent that may be
selected.
Already fourteen English iron screw
steamships havo been chartered, several
of which are now on their way to New
York. They are: Nellie, 1,444 tons; Zan
zibar, 2,171 tons; Lottie, 1,164 tons;
Cosmopolitan, 1,581 tons; Elphizutone,
1,701 tons; Lnngeland, 1,610 tons; Ame
lia, 1,690 tons; Serapis, 1.0C4 tons;
Woodburn, 1,788 tone; Strathairiy, 1,919
tons; Helios, 1,906 tons, Imbros, 1,958
tons; Qanos, 1,898tons; Jeranoe, 1.979
tons.
The termB of the contract are private,

The New Year.
To-day we begin a new year, and hope
it will be a prosperous and happy oae to
all oar readers. We hops it will be de
void of excitements, alarms and 8tartling
events of sli kinds, one of those steady
going years which are meagre in con
tributions to human history. We hope
it may be a year of bnsy labor and steady
and frugal gains, in whiob the work of
betterment shall be constant and all per
vading.
This is the only really happy year, and
tho true law of safe and healthy progress
for men and States. The constant reach
ing and longing for a ten strike of fortnne
keep3 both unsettled, disordered and
poor.
It theyonng men cf Georgia to-day
oonld only tusks up their minds to slow
and small gains ’ and the ic<
das try, perseverance, frugality, en
ergy and judgment whioh be
long to tbo system of small gains and prn>
dent life, they would be independent in
ton years, with fine habits, fine health
fine families and comfortable surround
ing».
Bat the disorders, flaotaatiocB, sadden
gains, raiaous losses, feverish specula
tions and exhausting of the last half
a generation, have more or less de
moralized every bedy—old and young.
False ideas and aspiratioae—false max-
ims and false policies are almost univer
sal, and an odor of speculation, chance
and hazard is thrown over the business
of broad-winning.
With these, the great lessons to be
learned in healthy bread-winning are lost
—the lessons of persistence, patience;
forecast, energy, faith, self-denial and
so on, which we judge the Almighty de
signed to be tbo obief and most imnor-
taut result of bis demand for labor as
the price of human existence.
By adhering as nearly as possible to
the divine plan of life, the healthful and
vigorous young may count on calm con
tentment, peace and plenty. But if they
prefer to enter tho ranks of trade, chance
and active competition, the mass mnst of
necessity be disappointed. Few draw
prizes in a lottery. Few win gailands in
a general race.
The country ia now sobering down gem
erally and taking more rational views of
life ahd living. Better times are, there
fore, dawning. The eras of strife and
specnlation are gone with all their evil
fruits. Let ns welcome the return of the
day of small gains, steady industry, and
sober and virtuous life.

A Handsome Showing.—We learn
from one of the Directors of the Macon
and Brunswick Bailroad that at their
monthly meeting in December, the Treas
urer was directed to pay twenty-five
thousand dollars into the State Treasury.
They likewise authorized the Superin
tendent to purchaso an additional loco

mail and baggage care, and five hundred
toms of new steel rails, all at a cost of

DEMOCRATS, FALL INTO LINE.
A fine opportunity is afforded every
Demoerat to-day to beat all existing dif
fereaoeB, and oome np grandly and
unitedly to the support of onr regularly
and fairly nominated candidates. It oan-
not bs disguised that,owing to the faot that
there was no party nomination for Mayor,
and huudredj of ^honest men and true
Democrats believed, and acted npon that
belief in the late mnniolpal eleotion that
those who reside in one ward are not bonnd
to support the tioket of another ward
in tho selection of which they had n 0
voice, considerable dissatisfaction and bad
feeling have prevailed in tbo ranks of the
Democraoy. Bat let that issue pass and
ba inqnired into hereafter.
Mow, tbo duty or every Democrat^obvi-
ontly, is to support the regular nominees.
Whatever be the decision of the courts
respecting the pending contest in the
city election, we trust all will acquiesce
therein cheerfnlly and nnite heart and
hand with the admineitration which
shall be declared dnly chcsen, in every
saintary measure for tho relief of our
debt-ridden city. Bnt the present is an
issue of an entirely different nature.
Here there was no dispute cr cavil as to
the fairness of the selections of the can
didates for connty officers, made by the
Democratic party, and every man who
calls himself a Democrat is, therefore,
clearly bound by them. Moreover, the
integrity of the party organization is
threatened by tho appearance on the
tapis of two independents, both popular
met, and, therefore, the more dangerone.
Let them bo effectually squelohed by the
unanimous vote of both the Collins and
Hnff men. They have now a glorious
ehance to sink personal feeling, shake
hands onca more, and rally to the stand
ard cf that party which placked them
from th» very jaws of destruction when
wri.thii.g under Badical rule. Aftercon-
saltation with leading men who differed
in the municipal election, we honestly
believe they will do so.
Trie Tost Oatb lor Jurors.
Chronicle and Comtitutionaliit.1
It will be remembered that Judge Wil
liam B. Woods, Jndge of the United
States Cironit Court for this Cironit, has
twice decided—onoe in Louisiana and
again in Florida—that the law required
jurors In the Federal Court to take the
test or iron olad oatb. Jndge Woods sta
ted that thongh the aot that made thia re*
quirament wasrepealed several years ago*
yet through inadvertenee it bad been
plaoed in the Esviaed Statutes which wqre
adopted as one aot of Congress. Ho,
therefore, considered tha law as of fall
foroe and wonld execute Its provis
ions whenever called npon to do
bo. But reoently another United
StaleB Judge has promulgated a different
view of the matter. In the United States
Dietriot Court at Montgomery list Mon
day, several persons, arrested under an
indiotment of the late United States
grand jury, were In court. Mr. E. L.
Moors Interposed (he plea that (he in
dictment was void, beoauie EOme of the
jury, whioh found the indiotments, bad
been in the Confederate army, and under
section 720 of tbo Revised Statutes were
not oompotent jurors. They cited thede-
oision of Judge Woods in Louisiana and
reoently fa Florida. Jsdgo Bruoa, of
tho Distrtot Court, decidod that tho plea
was not good; that the section, although
in tbo atalntes, bad been repealed before
the statutes were revised by Congress,
and the aot by Congress making all in
the book the “law” did not revive tbs re
pealed seotion.

again resumed, with Mr. W. T. Bess still
ou (he stand. The examination prooeeded
in tbe eame manner as on tbe day pre-
Deeding, and many questions were pro

iegit and tho general subject of taxation.
Bat littb new ovidenoe was brought ont.
The direct examination was resumed

fore Judge Holt will be commenced by

Heazra. Jubxn ti Co.
The personnel of this noted dry goods
establishment was graphically described
in tbe columns of the Txlxcjrafh and
Mxssengeb by a correspondent in a re
cent issue, and now it iB in order to say
what tbe worthy proprietors and their
efficient staff of assistants have in the way
of pretty things and desirable goods for
their numerous patron?. Imprimit. This
elegant store is one of the favorite resorts
of the wealth and fashion of Middle Geor
gia,and ahoddy is a word unknown in their
vooabolary. Here the febrios of the best
manufacturers on the eontinent and In
the marts of Earope, carefully selected,
and adapted to tbe moat recherche taste
of the Southern public, are deftly dis
played, doe regard being had to what ia
really nioe and seivioeable. And
while Messrs. Juhan & Co. do
net to profess to sell below cost, they yet
keep fully abreast of their competitors in
the price of their goeda and offer excel
lent bargains, good measure and reliable
wareB to all who deal with them. There
is noose in Macon or elsewhere who will
gaintay this fact. Then it is a real pleas
ure to “shop” with the young gentleman
behind tbe counters, who all seem to vie
with eaoh other in their efforts to accom
(nodate and please.
But let ns see what Messrs. Juhan &
Co. bave to sell:
'i’Le most cursory examination will
seivo to show that tbeir stock is in every
sense elegant and complete. Of dress
goods they have the latest styles and
moBt desirable fabrics at astonishingly
low figures. Thos their line of black
goods is perfect, and brilliantines can be
bought at from 37 cents to $1 25 per
yard. Tae proprietors have kept but one
brand, and that the best, for years, of
these goods, and they are matchless in
finish, lustre and color. So also of their
cashmeres, bombazines, honriettee, etc.
Alpacas of good quality can be had at from
25 to 75 cents per yard. Of black silks
of the finest and heaviest patterns
also, they have a fall line, while those
who prefer the colored fabric of tho silk
worm, can be suited with any shade they
may select.
In thia Arctic weather cloaks are a sine
qua non to the lady who ventures out of
doors. And these can be had too, in
the richest, neatest and cheapest styles.
It families also are ia need of white
goedi, table linens, towels, sheetings,
pillow casings, quilts, blankets, napkins,
handkerchiefs, corset?, gloves, ties, rib
bons, hosiery of every grade and color,
collars, cuffs, thread, needles, pins, edg
ings, trimmings, etc., eto., they can be
supplied ad Itliifum, and with the best of
everything; of flannels too, white and
fancy, gentlemen's shirts, coat and pan-
taloon stuff?, underwear and soaps, per
fumery and notions in endless variety,
they havo a supply which is simply ex-
haustless.
Now, all that Messrs. Juhan & Co. ask
is for the purchasing pnblic to call upon
them before buying elsewhere, and they
are certain that they will go no farther.
■awes if the Mat River.
Mr. Powh&ttan Robinson, civil engi
neer, has just concluded a survey of the
Flint river from Mcnteznma, in
county to Albany. The trip was made
in his boats. He expressed the opinion
that there is a good channel in the riv»
between those two points and that the
obstructions created by fallen trees can
be cleaned »t the rate of $150 per mile,
so that the river as high as Montezuma
oin be mads permanently navigable for
steamers carrying 500 to 1,000 biles of
cotton.
County Elections,
Tc-day the election of county officers
will taka place. The candidates yester
day put. in the few finishing touobee to
their work before the battle of to-day be
gan. The friends of the Independents
wero very busy, and made the moat of
the day electioneering for their friends.
The regular Democratic ticket had itB
advocates at every corner.
To-day’s contest at the polls is a very
important one in the politics of this
oonnty. It will either check or encourage
the spirit of independentiem which aeema
to be on the inorease in onr midst. It will
determine whether the Democratic party
of this county is to remain an integer or
to be split np by any one who does not
regard party affiliation and bookies on
the armor of the independent, and
wages battle against the organized
Democraoy. In view of these facts it is
highly important that every Democrat
should go to tha polls and cast their bal
lots for tho regularly nominated ticket.
It stands endorsed by a majority of thoee
voting at a primary election about whoso
fairness and openness there can be no
cavL
The principal fight will ba ever the
tax-collector’s office. Mr. Nelson, the
regular nominee, will make a fine race,
aid hia prospects of sueceas last evening
looked very cheering.
Mr. H. J. Peter is making a determined
fight for the office as an independent
Mr. Cherry, for Sheriff, ia far in the
lead, and shrewd judges late last night
gave as their conviotion that Mr. Smith
was virtually out of the race. The con.
test will be strong, but much excitement
or disturbance is not anticipated.
The precincts will be open a3 usual.
The Court-house precinct wi'l clcse at
six o’clock.
New Kin.
At tbe Dixie Works a mill has been
erected, and will be ran by T. C.
Hendrix ft Co. It is proposed to da a
regular milling business. Tbe mill will
supply a long felt want in this commu
nity, and its prospects of soooeea are
very flattering. Messrs. Hendrix & Com
pany are well known as gentlemen of en
terprise and vim. The mill is situated
on Cherry street, immediately in the rear
of tbe Dixie Works, and is a neat and
well adapted house for the business. The
firm expects to turn oat all grades of
ground oorn from the bran tithe finest
boded meal.

The Lewis High school.
Tha Lewis High School has jost re
ceived an elegant Christmas present in
the shape of a fine ‘‘Smith American Or
gan” of five octaves and nine stops, with
a handsome carved walnut case, donated
by the President of the Organ Company.
This school has neat and comfortable
rooms in the basement of the Congrega
tional Church, fitted up with all modern
school furniture. Misses Christiue H.
Gilbert and Hattie E. Phelps, both of
New York, are the efficient teachers, the
latter being an accomplished organist-
The new organ will doabtless add much
to the' interest of tho school, already
prosperous.
The Amerioan Missionary Association
has bought the hons9 known as the Book-
well house, opposite the Congregational
Church, now occupied by Bst. S. E. La-
throp, the newly arrived pastor of the
church. The house will now become the
permanent home of the minister and
teachers connected with the church and
school.
Deserving New Year's Rifts.
Alderman Dub, the popnlar landlord
of the Lanier House, has presented his
two handsome and accommodating as
sistants in the office department of his
establishment with a valuable testimoni
al of his esteem of their faithful service
to himself and their attention to the
guests of the hotel.
To the gentleman who presides at the
desk a splendid diamond stud was pre
sented; and to the gentleman in the de
partment oppostto, a magnificent golden
double loeket.
Both of the recipients of these gifts are
young and modest bachelor?. May the
next New Year's day find t&em in their
respective places, except that tho wearer
of the locket will have a likeness in it
that will remind him of the two happy
“hearts that beat os one,” and the gen
tleman that now wears the diamond find
it upon the boBom of one whose bright
eyes will give it additional lustre.
New Express Line.
We ate glad to Ioars that a new cx
pr<s< lino has been inaugurated from Ma
oon to Florida over the ever popular Cam.
beilacd ronte. The line will extend
to Jacksonville and Cedar Keys. The
rates will bo rednoed nearly one hundred
per oent. and the facilities mads to ae
commodate a largely inoreaaed aervioe.
Merchandise from thi9 section and pro-
duoe generally, will find a new outlet
over the line, while in retnrn will corns
the celebia’ed Manitee oranges, fine West
India oigars, Gnlf coast oysters and frnlts
generally from thi. semi-tropical clime.
Oysterscan bo imported from Cedar Keys
and laid down in Hacan at a cost gener
ally not in exosss of ons dollar. The line
will be in charge of Superintendent
Dampsey of the Florida office of tbe
Soathern ExpresB Company.
Toe establishment of this ronte has
beon in contemplation for some time, and
the consummation of this design will
prove a good thing for Maoon in many
respect*.
R. L. WUUukim.
One of tha first things that attracted
our attention on yesterday was the occn
pancy of tho handsome new warehouse
which has recently been erected by Ur.
Calder B. Willingham. W« have fre
quently noticed this structure in tbe
course of erection, and now, when it has
abont reached completion, we have no
heaitanoy in asserting that, in location,
convenience of arrangement and general
fitness for the purpose of its construction
it Is tha equal of .any warehouse in tbe
city. The building exhibits, moreover,
the taste of the contractor, ahd is quite
an ornament to Second street.
Wo learned from Mr. B. L. Willingham
that the first bile of cotton weighed in,
sampUd and sold in the new warehouse
belonged to Mr. John T. Lind, of Twigg3
county, and that the buyer of this initial
bale was Mr. D. R. Rodgers, who is
probably ths Nestor among cotton buyers
in Macon.

We are pleased to sec in the city Mr.
W. H. Wagner, of Charleston, South Car.
olina. Mr. Wagner has many friends in
Macon, with whom he is very popular.
Mr. W. Garrard, of Savannah, was reg
istered at the Brown House, last even'-
mg.
Colonels E. P. Howell and W. A
Hemphill, of the Atlanta Constitution
passed through tbe oity last evening for
Slvannah.
Mr. W. H. Toombs, of Washington, is
in the oity.
