the first thing decided is that she is entitled
r eho is not. If not, there aro reasons for
It; if she is, it is beciusra she has complied
with all that is precedent to her admission.
If the has, then she is entitled to admission;
if not, she is not. If she has, then Georgia'
is entitled to admission; if not, she is not
l entitled to admission. If entitled to admis
sion, how ia she entitled to admission ? If
eho is ont.tled to idmirsoa Into this union
he is entitled to admission upon a perfect
equality with the rest of the Btates. If she
is entitled to that I have no right to put con
ditions on harts conditions precedent to he
admission, or conditions subsequent, what
ever yon may call thorn.’ Georgia was ad-
mitteJ. Whether because of this speech or
to spite of it history does not ssy.

PROPOSEDFEDERAL CONTROL OP RAIL-
ROADS AND TBLKGRAPH8.
Tho Senate Committee on Railroads
yesterday reported, ns an amendment to
be added to the Post-office Appropriation
bill, the creation of a Commission com
posed of two Sjcatore, three Bepresen-
tativea and four private citizens, to sit
during the! session and inquire into the
propriety of Federal legislation upon in-
ter-State railroads, telegraph lines and
of regulating Associated Press telegrams.
[See Washington dispatch.]
That Commission, if created, will have
a good deal on its hands. The subjects
involving ita action will be vast and in
tricate to 6ncb en extent as severely to
teet human wisdom, and tho immense pe
cuniary interests involved may, perhaps,
still more severely teet human virtue.
Daea any Wiso and impecunious gen
tleman desire an appointment on that
Commission?—to ait all summer at
soma cool watering-place, and hear rea
sons from toe great railroads and tele
graph lines why a geneial direction of
their business ebonid not bo tsken by the
Federal Government ? Can it bo imag’
ined that ihces roads end lines will fail
to offer very solid reasons for keeping
the control of their property ?
Atlanta Post on tbe State Pair.
The Atlanta Post of the 15ib, speaking
of the talk and contest over tho perma
nent Icoation of (bo Georgia State Fair,
says:
If - the matter wore lsft to the Pat, it
would bo very quickly deoided. In many
respeota Maoon is the best point for the
State Fair, and to Maoon it should go, if
we had the say about it. Macon is cen
tral, and it ha3 unquestionably tbe beBt
grounds and the best bnildinga for tho
purpose. And the climate in October is
superb. It would ba best for the State
Fair to stop travelling around, and locate
permanently upon the beautiful park
grounds of beantifnl Macon.
Premising that, at this writing, the
State Agricultural Society has settled
tho matter, though we know not how, ex
cept that a telegram has said tbat tho
‘'next Pair” is to be he’d in Macon, we
hope the Society l.-aa made Macon the
permanent site a ;'ie Slate Exposition,
and that it will fc h eld once in every two
years, the next Frir to be held in Octo
ber, 1880. Tne intervening yours should
be devoted to county and district exposi
tions, at which local emulation should bo
enlisted in behalf of the general fair, and
a lapse of two years is necessary to man
ifest a marked and obvious improvement
inoar State exhibits.
A Sensible Man.
Fred Douglass recently delivered a leo-
turo in Wasnicgton, wherein, speaking of
the various negro emigration projects, he
announced himself opposed to tho whole
of them:
“In the first place he argned that
there was no uso of talking about emi
grating beyond tbe reach of the whito
man, for the white man had penetrated
every corner of the globe. In the ecoond
place, he said there was no need or ne
cessity for emigration at all. The best
place for tbe negro—Donulass don’t pnt
it 'colored people’—was as oloao to the
white men as he can get. The white
man Is bonnd to progress and thrive the
world over. The negro shonld get near
the white man and become interested
with him, that he may progress and
thrive as he does. All the talk about
ameliorating the condition of the race
by emigration and other schemes was, in
hie opinion, so much moonshine. The
way for the black man to better himself
wae to work end see that he got along
evenly with the whites. This wae the
line of the argument. The lecture was
in ell respects an excellent one, and will
have a good effect. It is worthy of note
tbat it was well received, the applause at
ita close being long and hearty, Doug-
laes is no doubt a leader among his peo
ple, and what he says , goes a long way
with them. It is more and more appa
rent every day that Windom’a scheme
has by no moans the sanction of the col
ored people as a rule.”
Rev. Mr. Landrum.
Tho Memphis Appeal of last Sunday
gives, as tho first article under its edi
torial head, the following magnificent
eulogy of Bev. Dr. Sylvanus Landrum.
It will be read with satisfaction wher
ever, in this State, this distinguished
preacher and pions Georgian is known;
bat it will be read with peculiar gratifi
cation in Macon, where he won so many
warm and earnest friends as the pastor
for many years of -the First Baptist
Church of this city :
EXT. DR. BTLYAKU3 LlNDttUJL
On Friday last the Appeal announced
that this gentlemen h-d been oalied to
the pastorate of a Baptist church in New
Orleans. Dr. Landrnm’e determination
has not yet been pnblicly announced, but
the determination of tbe people of Mem
phis has been proclaimed in one load,
emphstio and unmistakable vaioe, end
that decision is he mnst bo indneed to re
main among a people who are attsobed to
him by so many pleasant and sad associa
tions. It is understood that the object
of a minister of the Gospel is to do
good, and this eminent divine can find no
theatre upon whlohhe can be so nsefal as
here in Memphis. Indeed, it would be
wieked and crnel to separate Dr. Land-
ram and the people of this city, who
cherish for him an admiration which
amounts to idolatry. Dr. Landram hag
been pastor of the Central Baptist ohnroh
of thia oity for many years. His brilliant
giits and exalted charaoter; his grand,
oontagioos enthusiasm, and the breadth
and qaality of his manhood, his genius
and piety, have given him an influence
for usefulness never before achieved bj a
minister of the Gospel in thia or any oth
er oity in this Union.
As a general role, a preacher’s useful
ness is confined mainly to his denomina
tion. But Dr. Landrum is popular
among all denominations, exercising
great influence with all alike. In the pas
tors’ association, hie opinions are respec
ted, almost potential, and in secular af
fairs. hia power ia universally recognized.
He bos won this position, not by an ef
fort to become popular, but by a faith
ful, consistent and nndeviating effort to
perform hie dnty to his chnrcb, to Chris
tianity and to the world.
Dr. Landrnm as a preacher is a model
Hia ability is great, hia reading is ex
tensive. and possessing scholarly attain
ments and being a great student, his ser
mons are profound, full of robust, Eluidy
energy, and always instructive and intei-
eating. He seems always imbued witb
the subject he ie d : .scus3ing; never dawd
ling over his topio, he speaks right on
directly and graphically. Hia sermons
are condensed messages of dnty and hope
and consolation and charity and faith in
God—thoughts from a heart aflame with
piety, humanity. Jtlia ideas are bread
and comprehensive; his nature lofty, free
and catholic, and of conree hia relict n
has vast breadth.' Hia culture ie wide,'
and sb a consequence hia view of human
life ia large, end his understanding ot
the forces ut work in tho woild, tbn el. -
menta that make np our strange 'exist
ence, and history is strong and compre
hensive. Man’s dnty acd deetiuy ..re
the buis of all the fabrics which he
erects. ,* ’
The personal sufferings of D\ Landrum
dating the late epidemio for tho sake of
humanity and tbe religion^ he taught.
Bnt great wen hia sufferings; He had a
son who was regarded as ono of tbe most
promising young mon of the eity. Young,
handsome and aconmplished, he was she
pet of society. Hope spread a bright
halo around his fatare. But death al
ways loves a shining tnaik, and tbe
olouds which hnog over the horizon of
the rising yenng luminary settled, and
Herbert S. Landrum faded from the tab-
lean of a happy family, and darkness fell
upon the household. > '< - • J
Bnt one did not suffice. Still another
son, equally as promising, was stricken
down just as tho harvest of hope was
ripening into fruition. Tho lass of two
such jewels was snrely enough to cause
the father to quell; but as tho Boman
General, who saw his aon fall in battle,
kissed nis dying lips and said, ‘My son,
I have not time for grief to-day; I'll wtep
to morrow”—and pressed on to victory,'
so did Dr. Landrnm continne in his bat
tle until he himself was stricken down.
Then he had ample time to contemplate
his loss in all its terrible reality. Bat he
was spared, and is still among ns, a strong
man bowed down with grief. His heart
carries a heavy burden, bnt his noble
soul flames np amid the rains, grand and
triumphant.
The life of Dr. Landrnm reminds us
of the magnificent lilly, so whito and pnre
that it looks as if it could never battle
with tho wind aud storm; yet that queen
of flowers flonrishes in all soil?, braves
all winds and weathers, sunshine and
rain, heat and cold, and, with its feet in
tho frozen clod?, still lifts its its pure
white face forever towards tha stars.
Llko this flower. Dr. Landrnm has passed
tbrongh the storm and tempest, and,
with his feet in the frozen clods of new
mado graves, ho is still pointing to the
stars and to hoaven. Common misfor
tunes have made for Dr. Landrum and
the people of Memphis acommon destiny.
They aro indissolubly connected, and our
people will consent to nothing but death
severing the ties.
BAC MAHON AND GREW.
Row (Iio marshal Toole Leave of
rib Office.
Paris Cor. of the London Telegraph.]
At 7:30 o’clock ono of the Marshal’s
aides-de-camp went to M. Grevj with an
autograph letter, which ran 03 follows:
“The Marshal has tho honor to request
the President to be so kind as .to inform
him ef the result cf tbe election, so that
ho may, conformably with oustom, pay a
visit to his successor.” M. Grevy answer
ed immediately that there being neither
custom nor precedent in tbo matter he
would go :n person to tho hotel of tbe
Prefecture of VertUillea to communicate
the result.
A few minutes afterwards tboro came a
second letter from Marshal MasMahon.
stating that, having learned the result of
the olectiOD, ho was going to tbo Presi
dency to pay his respeots to the first mag
istrate of the Eepnblio. “Tell tbe Mar
shal,” replied M. Grevy, “that I shall be
happy to reserve him.” The Marshal
soon mado hia appearance in mnfli, ac
companied by an aid-ds*camp, also in
mnfti, military honors woie rendered to
him by tho guard at tbe door of the
Presidency. The interview was of a most
oordial nature, and the Marshal WB3 evi
dently highly gratified. He has spoken
very kindly of his oucoessor. and seems
much relieved that the bnrden of office
has been transferred from bis own shoul
ders to those of M. Gravy.’
I may add that before tbe letter of
resignation was read to the two Chambers
there was n talk cf a grant to the Mar
shal, bnt as soon as thiB came to his ears
he warmly protested against it, declaring
that he would be ashamed to receive it.
After all, the late President will not be
snob a loser from a money point of view
by his change of position. He expended
far more than he reoeived—his table and
horses, whioh be kept npontot hia own
pocket, costing him over £5,000 a year.
It was more than 9:30 o’olook when the
Marshal, aeoompanied by General Broye,
returned to the Elysee. He was oalm,

The Hew Road Enterprise.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger • On
a visit to Macon last week I learned that
a petition was being circulated among
the citizens for their signatures for the
purpose of having a road laid one and
constructed from tbe city tanning back
of Yineville cn or near the banks of Oc-
mulgee river to a point intersecting the
public road at Judge Wo. Lundy’s resi
dence; and it struck me very forcibly
that tbe projectors of this new road oared
very little whether anybody’s interest
was consulted exoept the citizens of Ma
con and ono or two parties (also interest
ed) living on their plantations through
which this new road will ran.
Some three years ago this same party
were urging with much apparent disinter
estedness the coDBtrnction of thia road,
and had it not been met promptly and
the who's object exposed by a few lead
ing men (tax payers) and non residents
of the city they wonld have then carried
this measure through and greatly in
creased the taxes of tho overburdened
tax-payers. Since then eome of these
men who opposed the new road have
died and others moved out of the county;
and all at once thiB new road enterprise
looms np and comes to the front again,
engineered with renewed zeal by the
tamo ring or party, no doabt thinking
they could rush this matter through
quitk be'"-a it could bs diecussed or in-
vMhnti«
What mo tbo reasons given for this
new road? I wilt state those I have
heard which shonld have any bearing
as a public necessity: First—It is said
tbat the route is much shortened to those
living on the river road and othors con-
tigioas. Second—That the road would
bo on better gronnd.
In reply to tho first I say the distance
ia shortened so little that it does not
amount to economy. In reply to the
second I give it a flat denial; bnt, on the
contrary, the road wonld have to ba con
structed ovfir deep ravines, high stony
ridges, and over one or two very bad and
dangerous creeks, requiring the bnilding
of expensive bridges, and over land al
most impracticable for a public road-bed;
and the most zealous adTOOats of this
measure cannoctrnthfally deny that least
one bridge will be necessary. Thirdly—
There is no pnblio necessity for this
road, save to benefit a few owners of real
estate who wish to mako money out of it
at the expense of tbe tax-payers of the
county. The majority of the projectors
and advocates of this road are residents
of the city and own Urge real estate
through which this road is to be located
which will greatly enbanco the value of
their property, which they intend to di-
vido np into small lots and' tell at good
rices.
In fact this was charged as a motive
three yoara ago when the road wa3 agi
tated. I wonld etate other selfish motives
which ia to innre to the profit of the pro
jectors, bnt will forbear for the present.
We have now more pnblio roads in tbe.
county than we can properly work, and
unices they are worked better than tbe
nver road they will bo ell impassible, and
I cannot see the polioy of multiplying
roads and bnilding bridges until wo can
keep those we buro in*more creditable
condition. Besides, the County Com
missioners have purchased the toll bridge
below Macon, which will greatly increase
oar taxes ter years to come,"and to keep
np th. t structure will greatly increase
tbe harden of taxation. I think, when
cotton i-fco low acd labor so dear, it ia a
very irauspicjons.time. to increase taxes
and -n^ds« in pu'olio enterprises for the
benefit o « few.- • H.

Senator Voorhees yesterday iatrodnoed
a bill authorizing and requiring the Sec
retary to re-isane twenty-seven millions
of legal tender for the purpoea of meet
ing the demands on the Treasury daring
the current year, growing out of tbe Ar
rears of Pensions bUi. Too oonnter
proposition ia to sell four per oent. bonds
to ih&t amount. The difference between
them wonld, be a million andtelRhty thou
sand do llaraiu-favor of th§ Goyernment.
The Hon. Fernando Wood, of New
York, has recently shocked the Republi
cans with a proposition directing 'the
Secretary of the Treasury to pay these
pensions out of/hto resumption • reserve
fund of a hundred and eighty ’millions.
That ia denounced as a-treacShrona and
unpatriotic device to break dowp.. re
sumption. Mr. Wood replies that it is
a piece of foolish and wasteful ficsacior-
ing to keep such a earn of money idle on
tho possibility that ■ somebody may de
mand it It costs too much. It costs
the country nine millions a year, or in
other words it conld ba used to save tbat
much on interest account. J '
The polioy of hoarding funds by a man
paying interest on borrowed money,
needs much special pleading to pass
judgment at the bar of a sound economy
—pnblio or private; but the straggles
of the Bepnblican party to exaggerate
the war debt will pass into history for
the astonishment of future generations.
gome wiseacre makes the average cost
ot the United Slates bonds in the hands
of tho original holders, fifty-eight cents
in the dollar. Left bs tha bargain stood,
when the bonds were negotiated in cur
rency, they were in great part redeema
ble in currency, the latter yearly increas
ing in value, the bonds nntaxable, hear
ing interest at various rates averaging a
little short of seven per cent The ex
emption from tax, together with the in
terest paid for one dollar on fifty-eight
cents invested, made them a fifteen per
cent investment, and, therefore, paid np
the whole original outlay of the bond
holder every seven years.
Bat in order “to do the landholders
plenty,” Congress went behind the origi
nal oentraot and provided that the bonds,
notwithstanding their stipulations to the
oontrary, should not be paid in paper—
no, nor yet in silver. Nothing bnt gold
would do, and.then by force ot this inter
ference the bonds Blid np at once above
par, and so remain.
The praotioal explanation of this mur
derous legislation npon a peoplo heavily
hardened with debt Is that Congress, with
the exosptioa of the past few year?, has
been entirely in the banjs of the bond
holders and capitalists, as against the tax
payers ; and the most favorable solntion
at last whioh can be expected is tbat the
pnblio debt will ba paid twenty timeB
over as to the peonnlary benefit receiv
ed when the debt was contracted, before
it will be paid at all.

A Last Wora for Hawklnsville.
It was impossible while taking noteB
currents calamo of tbe sayings and doings
of three hundred talkative farmers, law
yers, doctors, preachers, judges and guano
men, to be mailed and printed the same
day, to do bnt very little else. Henoe,
now that the conventien is over, the va
rious omissions must be made good. And
first, the writer mast return thanks for
many kind personal attentions reoeived
at the hand* of the hospitable citizens of
Hawkiuivllle. To Mayor Kibbee (whose
address of weloome to tbe oonvsntien
was eminently beantifal snd appropriate)
and bis lovely wife we are nnder special
obligations. And, in this connection, it
may not ba amiss to say that Folaski and
Southwest Georgia shonld oheriah this
gifted son, and at the proper time eall
him np higher. Golonel Eibbce ia one of
tbe rising yonng men of his aeotion
and wonld illastrate Georgia oa the floors
of Congress. His record in onr Btste
Legislature has already made him famous.
Then, to the genial Dr. Fleetwood and
hia estimable better half, the big hearted
Mr. Lowe and bis gentle wife, Captain
Martin and family, S. W. Brown, Esq.,
Bev. George McCall, and others, a large
debt of gratilnde is dne both from the
writer, and many other visitors to the

opened its homes and hearts to the repre
sentatives of almost every oonnty in ths
State. Never was hospitality broader or
more thoroughly unselfish.

It wonld be an nnpardonable act not to
speak of the exhibition given by the la

Tbe Louisiana UeturniBff Board
The regular Washington correspond
ent of the New York IVorld ia responsi
ble ior tho following:
One ovening last week tho World cor
respondent met Senator Eastis and Geo.
Sheridan, Becorder of Deeds of the Dis
trict of Columbia, in conversation at Wil
lard’s Hotel. Governor Tilden’a testimony
before the Potter Committee in New York
was discussed, and the conversation quite
naturally turned upon the events in Lou
isiana in 1876 which gave Mr. Hayes the
office to whioh Mr. Tildea was elected.
Mr. Sheridan mado a few sarcastic re
marks about Louisiana politics and the
virtue of tbe politicians of the State,
whioh led Senator Eustis to express his
enrptise at the ignorance manifested by
Northern politicians conceding the pos
er ot the Baturning Hoard to manipn-
lata the elections as it saw fit.
‘‘One evening while tho count was in
progress I dined with Henry Watterson,
Da Ponte and a few gentlemen who had
come to New Orleans to see fair play.
Watterson asked me if I thought tbat
the Bcturning Board wonld connt Mr.
Hayes id. I told him frankly tbat X
believed ic would. He could net under
stand how such a thing was possible,
Tilden had each an overwhelming ma
jority. My opinion as a resident ol Lou
isiana and an obaetver of the politics of
the State apparently had some weight
with Watterson, for he plaintively asked
me what conld be done to stop the fraud.
I did not think anything could be done
in Louisiana, bnt it “Well, what ?”
interrupted Watterson, impatiently. “Do
yon knew Governor Tildrn ?” eaid I.
‘‘Yes, I known him, bnt not intimately,”
responded Watterson. “My advice to
yoo, then, wonld be to write a letter to
Governor Tilden to-night. Portray the
situation here, say to him that the Bs-
tnrning Board will probably connt him
ont snd advise him to have pnblio meet
ings called in New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati,
8t, Loo is, Louisville, in every large city
in the conntry, and have each of these
meetings protest against the snbvHtsien
of the rights of the people by the Lonis-
iana E-turning Beard. It is possible
that a sufficiently strong public senti
ment may be created to influenee the
Betnrning Board to declare the vote hon
estly?”
“Well,” continued Mr. Eustip, “Wat
terson was pleased with my suggestion.
He said it was the very thing to do, acd
when our party broke np, at a rather
late hour, he left me to go to his rooms
at the hotel and write the letter tbat
night. DaPonte was to carry ic to Gov.
Tilden. The next morning I me t Wat
terson and asked him if he had written
the letter. ‘No, I have not,’’ said he.
‘The truth i«, when I thought the mat
ter over I came to the eonoluaion that if
I wrote such a letter Governor Tilden
wonld think tnat £ was interfering in his
private business, and he wonld not thank
me ior doing it.’ ” -\
Sheridan, who had listened to Mr.
Eustis’ remark? with tho greatest atten
tion, slowly emptied his mouth of a
stream of cigar smoke and eaid: “So
yon thought that the Lonisiasa Return
ing Board would be influenced by the
pnblio sentiment ? Well, Eustis,-1 wont
say tbat the board couldn’t be ihflnenoed;
but influenced by sentimental considera
tions—never! Why, I beat Pinohback
12,000 votes and I’m d—d if tho board
didn’t give him 10,000 majority.” Sheri
dan gave a sigh whioh seemed to indi
cate that if sontimentel considerations
were worth anything he would havo been
declared elected. Tnen ho brightened np
and continued: “I guess everybody is
satisfied with tho way matters turned
ont; I know I am.”
‘•Yes,” retorted Eustis, “you were sat
isfied when you got your appointment
os Recorder of Deeds here.’*
“I do like the climate of Washington,”
murmured the thoughtful Mr. Sheridan,
as he sauntered ont into the mild even
ing air.
Wae Claims.—Our telegrams state that
certain so-called loyal Southern war
claims in the State of Tennessee, whioh
were pressed for payment before the

million of Caucasians in California, and
not to exceed one hundred thousand Chi
nese, niae-tantba of whom aro coolieB. Of
the hundreds of millions worth of prop
erty in San Francisco, not one-thonsanth
part belongs to the Chineso. They have
no standing in tha community or society;
they embark in no enterprises of magni
tude; they engago in no worthy works.
First and last they ere as leeches, an »-

it even possible that tho fulura of San

w^a in the LsguHiure, and not in the
courts. ,,
Judge Ljeu closed tho speaking in a
close, aqalylicri legal argument of about
twohourB. It was argued that if the
power of snch taxation ever existed it
tal been taken away by the Legislature.
The point on which the moat
argument was devoted was as
to whether tho taxation allowed
by the Jewett bill, wherein taxation is
restricted to one per cent.* extended to
the taxation of professions and callings.
At the conclusion of the argument^
Judge Simmons eaid that the case was
not a new one. He had been frequently
consulted on this question—that he al
ways regarded the tax as onerous. He
believed, however, that the Supreme
Court had decided the matter, and tho
injunction was accordingly refused. The
following order was taken:
Oa hearing and considering the forego
ing application for injunction, on said

support a feeble wife and three small
ohildren. He sought and obtained em
ployment of Mr. E. M.Boberson. Shortly
after, for eome reason not known he was
Uncharged from Mr, X.’* employment.
They had some misunderstanding about
a settlement, Hnmber claiming from B.
a small amonnt, $15 perhaps, as dne him,
which R. denied. At the suggestion of
Mrs. Roberson, knowing her husband’s
disposition, and perhaps thinking that
Hnmber and Boberaon might have a diffi
culty about the matter, Mrs. Hnmber
wen; over to eee Mr. Roberson, and asked
him to pay the money to enable her to
redeem some jewelry and family relics
which she had pledged for provisions be
fore her husband baa been employed by
Roberson. In this interview Boberaon
called her a liar, and thrust her from tho
room, in leaving which she fell over some*
chairs and hurt herself. She then re
turned to her house and husband.
Hnmber is a small, feebla mac, with
out friends in bis neighborhood, and
Boberaon was snrronnded by sons aud
employes. Several days after Hnmber
went to Roberson and demanded an
apology. It was ref used, and the insult
ing language repeated. The second
time he was approaohed by Hnmber witb
like results. An alteroation eneued, and
the homicide was the result. Mr Hum
ber is very respectably oonneoted. He
is a nephew of Colonel W.J. and General
C. D. Anderson, of Fort Yaltey, and is a
half brother of Hon. Robert Humber, of
Patuam county. Hie wife is a member
of one of the first families of Colnmbns.
