—One of the cruelest cuts agaloat the en
tire system of prohibition of foreign manu
factures, misnamed protection, says the Ohi-
cagoHerald, lathe purchase of 12,000 tons
of British steel rails by Mr. 7f. H. Vander
bilt. Hs oould have obtained these rails in
tbs United States at 845 per ton. But he
preferred paying, including duly and trans
port, 866for the foreign article. The Penn
sylvania men were indignant; they atked the
‘railroad king’why this is thui? He replied:
‘American manufactures will .only give a
five-year guarantee. It is nq experience
that the utmost wear it Amariean rails does
not exceed five years. I estimate, therefore,
that the English rails, while ceefing me 25
percent, more than the American article,
will give 100 per cent mere wear; conse
quently, tbe«he*p>at thing far ms to do is
to go abroad for my ateefraUa. X still, how
ever, put down American rails, where the
strain and wear are lightest.' Thus, in face
of a protection which give* tbs American
manufacturer 810 per ton advantage, the
British artels is preferred, bocaure It U 100
per oent better. Thus BspsbSean legisla
tion is compelling ths United 8tales-te pay
25 per oent. more for an article of rati which
Is 100 pm cent, below, in quality, that which
the British manufacturer would supply at 26
per oent. lest cos’, this is ths veiy Irony of
protection.
Colonel James H. Blount
It most be gratifying to the immediate
constituency of this gentleman, and, in
deed, to the whole State of Georgia, to
see now highly his eminent services aie
appreciated In Congress.
Not only does he retain the second po
sltion on the Committee of Appropria
tions, but has been named chairman of
that of "Expenditures in the Depart
ment of Justice,” also a very important
appointment. Mr. Blonut has won his
way to the front rank of statesmen in
the House by his superior sagacity, great
industry and staunch fidelity to the true
interests of the country. Most faithfully
has he breasted the tide of public ex
travagance, applying the axe here and
there with remorseless severity to
the root of pet schemes and large ex
penditures of the people’s money for pri
vate aggrandizement and political supre
macy. We have it direct from those who
were present and witnessed his exertions,
that no man really wields a greater infiu
enoe on the floor of Congress than he,
became of bis acknowledge! integrity,
patriotism and untiring industry and
watchfulness.
Few men in the present Congress also
enjoy the experience that he possesses.
The people'of this district are proud of
their immediate representative, and the
whole country reaps the fruit of his
repeated re-election, in every instance by
majorities well-nigh approaching una
nimity.
Australasia—Its Eiexsa Importance.
—An annual publication, entitled the
"Victoria Year Book,” which has recent
ly appeared, gives some surprising statis
tics of the rapid growth of those insular
colonies of Great Britain, which have
themselves expanded into a vast empire.
Even in the matter of oommerce, Austra
lia is excelled only by a few of the lead
ing nations of the world.
The total exporta of the colonies foot
up £45,389,111 and the imports £48,-
307.887. The area of the Islands em
braces 3,114.501 square miles. The nam
her of sheep in the colonies is put down
at 57,767,770. There are 3,472$ miles of
ailroad in operation and the telegraph
rines measure 23.607 miles in length.
The number of inhabitants is 2,515,611,
and so thinly are they distributed that
Victoria, the most thiokly populated col
ony, contains but nine persons to the
square mde, while Western Australia ha?
one only to every forty square miles.
What a field is there here for immigra
tion! And wb"> can estimate the power
and resources o . nia xemote empire after
the lapse of aujt&er century? And yet,
strange to relate, catchiag the infection
from California, the bush men and set-
tlersof these colonies are threatening to
expel the Chinese and prevent the in
troduction of any more ocolies. We
should not be surprised if in course of
time Australia sets np for herself, and
kicks out of the British traces. ShehaB
within her own limits the elements of a
powerful empire. . The colonies, however,
have managed to run np a deot of £63,-
607,638, or about 8320,000,000. This
may keep them loyal aud submissive for
some time to come.

A Moving Spxctaclx.—Thoso who
saw it shed tears. It was the sight of an
old man helping his d&ughtets to churoh.
He had hitched the two ends of c. plow,
line to the skirts of the young ladies, and
was helping them along on their weary
pilgrimage (o Zion by dragging their
heavy trains for them. Good, faithfol
old man! He' had diligently consulted
old Banyan, and shown the young ladies
how muoh more wearisome their pilgrim
age up the straight and narrow way must
be, if they bad to drag a fifteen-foot
train of black silk, with heavy metallic
loading, after them, up the heavy grade
of that ragged way. Finding his gentle
intimations disregarded, he took the plow-
lioe and divided the load with them; and
ihere ho was, in spite of the weight of
years, dragging his daughters onward and
upward to glory. No wonder the people
wept when they saw it.
Poos Shooting.—There it is againl
Toe kiog-kitlers have neglected the most
essential part of their professional educa
tional. Their business is to shoot kings,
aod yet they can’t shoot so as to hit
anybody. Yesterday another one of those
king-killers took four deliberate shots at
Emperor Alexander, of Bussia, and never
bit man or etotbas, though the Emperor
is aa big as a stable door.
Subsequently the ehootist was caught
and will be killed. Tbe king-killers are
said to be a numerous crowd and to bate
many aeoret meetings and fiery discus
sfons among themselves, bnt they have no
instrnoiion on the subject of shooting,
which is the main point. They have
been shooting at kings and queens now
for two or threo years pretty steadily, bnt
have hit nibody exoept Emperor Wil
helm, who was literally too big for a bal
let to get by. 14 *•
Now, as this business of Hing-killing
is claimed to be a matter of exalted patri
otism and philanthropy, why don’t tbe
King-killers give the world a practical
illustration of their unselfishness by put
ting each other In prsetioe. Let them
take turns in standing np for targets in
their secret meetings, so ss to put their
men in practice and enable them to hit
something when they fire

Tbe Physical Paradox,
It has been said that "the blood is the
source of life.” It is as traly tbe source
of disease and death. No life, that is to
say, no healthy tiauo can be generated
from impure blood, no organ of the body
can normally perform its functions wben
supplied with impure blood. The fluid
that should carry life and health to every
part, carries only weakness and disease.
Blood Is the source of life, only when it
is pure. If it has become diseased, it
must be cleansed by proper medication,
else every pulsation of the hnman heart
sends aware of disease through the sys
tem. To cleanse the blood of all Impuri
ties use Dr. Pieroe’s Golden Medical Dis
covery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
the most effective alterative, tonic, and
cathartic remedies yet discovered. They
are especially efficient in scrofulous dis
ease.
Speculating in School Funds.
A correspondent in a neighboring
county writes as follows:
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
I have betin a subscriber to your paper
for some time, and think you are gener
ally disposed to advocate the interests of
the people, and especially of education.
I wish to oall your attention to oue thing,
and to get yon to express yonr opinion,
■o that those who run may read. The
anbjeet is tbe speculation of some oounty
School Commissioner* on tbe funds ap*
p.-upriated by the Stats for eduoatfon. It
haa oome to my cars that a Commissioner
sought to buy the claim of a teacher, who
is an ignorant man, for half prioe. It is
not hard for any one to see that if the
Commissioner has the right to do this. It
opens the way to fill bis pookels with Ill-
gotten gains. It will indose him to em-
ploy such teachers as ere the most igno
rant cf their right*, and tbosa who will
the most readily part with their eemiogs.
And thfcD, Instead Of efficleDt teachers,
we shall have a Hood of tbe poorest
teaohers that oan be found, aod the rich
est Commissioners.
Cm; nr.
Saoh speculations are exceedingly de
moralizing and lamentable, partioulaily
in conneoliSn with publio sohool funds
and interests, which partake of an elee
mosynary nature, and are therefore as
stored as a charily fund. It is bad enough
to speculate on the discharge of any pob-
llo tiust, bnt partioulaily detestable In one
of this nature.
A CARD. ’
To all who are sufTenn* bom the error* and

dscay.loa* ot manhood, etc. I will send a recipe

We have been permitted tr* paresj
letter addressed to one of our most prom'
inentoltizms by sevaral intelligent gen
tlemen of a Northern city, who, with
their families, are desirous of seeking
home in the Sonny South. Having heard
much of tbe equable climate and peenliar
advantages of Maeoa, they are anxious to
be informed upon many points oategori
oslly stated, relating to our city and its
surroundings.
Speaking generally, ws oan only say
that there is not a place or seotion in
Georgia that opens up a more inviting
field to the new comer, than this city and
region. In the matter of health, onr bills
of mortality will compare favorably with
any similar number of inhabitants any
where on earth. And when you come to
oonaider the more violent epidemloe, such
aa typhus fever, typhoid pneumonia,
bloody flux, dyptheris, measles and
soarlet fever, it Is a noteworthy fact which
will be sustained by onr entire resident
medical faculty, that all of the above dis
eases, usually so fatal in higher latitudes,
when experienced here at all, assume
milder types, and are comparatively easy
of management.
There are really no extremes of heat
and cold, and saving, perhaps, a
small; district adjacent to the riTer
swamp, chills and climatic diseases are as
infrequent here as in Atlanta or Borne.
The city ie built upon a series of lofty
hills, and with its perfect system of sew.
age and the heavy fall to the Ocmulgee
river which is the great drain furnished by
nature, cannot with the least hygienic at
tention ever become filthy. Every rain
sweeps away the garbage and leaves the
streets and alleys as clean as a country
highway. The above should allay all
the fears of strangers as to the salubrity
of Macon.
As a business centre,it is no stretch of
the imagination to say that no city of the
South surpasses it in location or solid
advantages. . ——
The head of navigation on the Ocmnl
gee, the radiating point of a net-work of
flourishing railroads whioh treed in the
direction of all the points ot the com
pass, possessing four outlets to the ocean
through Brunswick, Savannah, Fort
Boyal and Charleston; situated in ths
midst of a dense farming population and
directly on the line of the primitive and
secondary geologioal formations of the
State, completely commanding the trade
of the "black bell” of Georgia; poeseesed

tions in the South, and numerons public

wholesale trade; inhabited by a refined
people and enterprising merchants; with
a noble public library aud beautiful park,
the admiration of all who visit it; and
numerous religious and Masonio associa
tions which shed light and joy upou the
community, what more desirable place
of residence can be found in the Union?
Then, again, if onr immigrant friends
are capitalists, what a future awaits the
efforts of those, who, at a comparatively
trivial outlay,shall utilize by a short canal
the magnifioent waterpower of the Oc
mulgee. Two or three Lowells might be
accommodated here in the event of the
succeseful accomplishment of this pro
ject.
Lastly, if the mied of the immigrant
is agriculturally inclined, all around the
city, aud reaching into several aojaoeat
counties, numerous small farms can be
purchased at reasonable prices, where
peaches, Irish potatoes, watermelons,
sand pears, pomegranates, English peas,
grapes, and other fruits and vegetables,
can be successfully reared and made
to anticipate the Northern market
by many weeks. Corn, sugar cane,
sweet potatoes, rtoe, millet, arrowroot,
the tea plant, aud an almost infinite va
riety of other valuable vegetables and
farm produots, to say nothing of thegreat
staples of eotton. wheat, oats, rye aud
barley,may also be raised in their greatest
perfection. All that is needed is intelli
gent industry and perseverance to asenre
suocess to the farmer in this most desira
ble soil and climate.
If the gentlemen who have made the
inquiries referred to in tbe ontset of tblB

have no doubt they will not only be
satisfied, bnt delighted with the ontlook

The Man with Friends.
The last newspaper among the Badical
following who stands out against Grant
is Harpers' Weekly, and he will be giving
in before long. The whole anti-third
term party has lowered its banners and
surrendered at discretion—all the dan
gers of a third term being obviated by
the four years’ episode ot Hayes, which
will end without seriously disordering
the Grant maohinr. The whole money
power of the country, whioh holds Grant
in training now at a distance beyond the
reaoh of gosBip, exoept of the most com.
plimentary character, and ia supporting
him by volantary contributions in regal
elate, h literally under bonds to strain
its fix. • cial energies in defense of its own
financial interests. And it is easy enough
to seo that whatever they spend can, in
case of success, be made good out of the
public treasury. Given forty millions
yearly in excesss of expenditure under
Grant, which is the smallest allowance
any reasonable man eould make, and
one hundred and sixty millions divided in
fonr years among the faithful will make
everything more than satisfactory to all
troubled with high moral ideas. Aqua-
terniad of riot in spoils will retnrn
more dollars than they spend nickels, and
therefore they can well afford to support
the gorgeous pilgrimage of Grant
among the Eastern PrinceB. He is to be
kept there yet eleven months, and then
to burst upon the country through the
golden gate of the Pacific shore like a
gorgeous sun-flewer. Sach is the look
of a man whose friends can use him for
their own advantage.
Temperance ana Teeiotalism.
A lively contest has been inaugurated
ioNew York city on tbe platform of tem
pera nos in the nse of stimulants as op
posed to teeiotalism, so-oalled, which it la
oontended, as a reformatory movement,
has proved itself a failure. The new
plan proposes fonr pledges, which were
Urns explained by the seoretsry:
The white pledge bound the signer-cot
to drink during business hoars. By that
modified engagement the man was not
deprived of tbe glass of wine of an even
ing at our eoolal institutions. Tbe bins
pledge promised "not to offer the glass to
another, nor to drink at anotbet’s ex
pense.” Tbe next pledge was the red,
white and bine. It limits the signer to
drink nothing stronger than wine or beer,
and these only at meals and in modera
tion. The English’ physicians, wpo bad
lately written about alcohol,'differed in
many points; but all were unanimous in
this, that alcohol when it was taken should
be taken with meals. He suggested that
total abetinenoe should be tried for a
specified term, and if not ooavlnoed at the
expiration of that time that it was batter
to do without anything in tbs shape of in-
texioating liquor, thee be urged tbe
adoption, with great oars and determina
tion, of one of tbe moderation pledges
whioh would be found best suited to their
eiroumstanees.
Among the speaker* at ‘The Business
Men’s Society for the Encouragement of
Moderation in the Use ot Iotoxloating
Drinks,” were Peter Cooper, Thurlow
Weed, Dr. Oroeby, Dr. Frothiagham, H.
F. Tborber and others.
Whence this Emigration?
The St. Louis Presbyterian has made
discovery in a eopy of a printed circular
whioh has been in extensive, though
secret, circulation among tbe oolored
brethren in Mississippi and Louisiana.
This oiroular, which Is indorsed "striolly
private,” is dated from the “Offioe of the
Colored Colonisation Sooiety, Topeka,
Hanses, Feb. 2, 1879,” and is beaded,
"Attention, Colored Men!”
It goes on to say that "Your brethren
as! friends throughout the North have
observed with painful solicitude the out
rages heaped upon yon by your rebel
masters, and are doing all they can to
alleviate your miseries aud provide for
your future happiness and prosperity,
President HayeB, by his iniquitous South
ern polioy, has deserted you, while tbe

main iu the South, and to protect you
from their designs the colonization socte
etches, been organized by the govern
ment to provide land for each head of a
family, whioh will be given in bodies of
160 acres gratuitously. This land is lo
cated in the best portion of Hanses, in
close proximity to Topeka, and ia very
productive. Here there are no distinc
tions in society; all are on an equality,
Leave the land of oppression and come
to free Kansas. Lyourgus P. Jones,
President. Show this circular to none
but colored men and keep its contents a
secret.
Easy enough it is to oonjeoture who
are at the bottom of this circular and the
prime engineers iu the emigration move
ment It is the conception of the stab
wart Badical leaders and,independsntly of
come private land speculations, its ob
ject is a revival of the bloody shirt furor
in the interests of the Badical campaign
of 1880. To exhibit the negro in the at
titude of fleeing by theusands from the
oppressions of the Southern whites will
be confirmation of all the tales of vio
lence and pleas for arbitrary repressive
force they have been circulating, and
upon whioh they hope to found another
successful campaign of Bectional. hatred
The original bid for the negro vote
after the war was forty sores and a mule.
The bid here is 160 sores, withont the
mnle. Both are cruel Impositions upon
the credulous negro, but the latter is the
worse one, because' it betrays tbe negro
into expenses whioh he cannot afford, and
leaves him sfloat in a strange oountry and
■mid the frosts of a severe climate, with
no resonroe bnt snob doles of charity as
he may be able to pick np; whiob, so far
as we are able to see, have not yet
amounted to a dollar per head to tbe emi
grants.
Will tbe negroes never learn a lerson
from their experience of these unscru
pulous politicians, who, from first to last,
never had any other design but to use
them as cats-paws and victims? Under
pretence of extraordinary devotion to the
welfare of the negroes, the hollow and
treacherous promises at the close of the
war were all violated. The Freedman’s
Bank, projected ostensibly to save ths
negroes’ earnings, which were fn danger
from the rapacity of their old masters and
employers, were, as to four.fiftha of them,
deliberately stolen; and now here is a
cold-blooded fraud got up to betray
the negroes into a costly and suicidal
emigration scheme in order to make them
false witnesses against the South in tbe
interests of the next Badical campaign.
Tbe Georgia Circulating Bonds,
From a long Washington epecial to the
Cincinnati Commercial about tho Geor
gia circulating bonds, we extraot the fol
lowing-
In brief, tbe history of the novel finan
cial experiment ot Georgia is this : The
State owes eight millions of dollars in
bones, bearing six and seven per cent,
interest. Her credit being good, the
sixes are slightly above par, and (he ser
one considerably above. These bonds
are subject to call, and the qnery among
Georgia financiers was how to fund them
at a low rate of interest and get the
amount into circulation among the peo
pie. It was argned that seven or eight
millions thrown out ameng the people
of one State wonld make money plsnty.
Some happy genins hit npon the plan of
funding tbe debt into five-doliar bonds,
bearing 4 per cent, interest, and putting
it Into eiroolation, these bonds to be pay
able in six years, and eaoh have six oou-
pons calling for twenty cents annually.
Half a million dollars were issned as an
experiment, and the result has been all
that the friends of the projeot anticipa
ted. The amount was rapidly taken, and
tbe bonds have gone into general oironla
tion in that State, 7 per cent, bonds; be-
ing called in to make room for them. In
short, it is a funding scheme, the striking
feature of it being that the debt is to olr-
oulate as money.
This is simply both, and the kind of
bo3h which eTery friend of financial
order should carefully avoid. It became
necessary, in order to provide fer tbe
redemption of bonds falling due, for
Georgia to borrow half a million dollars.
This she has done by the issue of bonds
in small amounts, all of which have been
taken and none are "in general cupula,
tion.” It is rare to find oue afloat.
To say that this is the beginning of an
Issue of eight milllona is mere misrepre
sentation. No authority in law exists for
the issne of a single dollar more, and
none le likely to exist fo; any further Issne
of bonds whioh oan by any possibility im
pair the credit of those now oat. The
State, by the operation in question, saves
about a hundred thousand dollars, and
pIaoes these Beoarities m the hands of her
own citizens. It is true they oan, If
needful to the holder, bo nsed as cu-eufa-
tion; and so osn any other bond in trans
actions oommenanrste with their magni
tude. But it was no psrt of the design
of Georgia to add seriously to the volume
of currenoy,or to flood the Stale with Irre
deemable paper. Sbs cannot be held re
sponsible if, aa is supposed, other States
may practioe hazardous experiments on
their credit in the way of ^floating bonds.
It Is the business of Georgia to see that
she herself does not do it, and she ia con
stitutionally protected against any In
crease of her bonded debt, and her people
are all resolved to maintain the public
credit.

dronth of May, in present conditions, will
make jus dry Indeed. A St. Louis weath

Georgia, of late, that habit of spring has
been forsaken. Ordinarily by the middle
of May we are In for six weeks of
drought, through whiob corn struggles
dismally with very indifferent suooets at

Atrocious Radical Lies—TJhn
Threatened Negro Exodus.
Ths following extraot from that arch
enemy of the South, the New York Tri
bune, we ore sure will be branded with
falsehood andsccutedevenby every intel
ligent colored citizen of onr community.
Those misguided oolored men of New York,
who play so completely into the
hands of the Badical whites, wonld do
well to psy us a visit and see their ooun-
trynaen -pouring into our marts seated
upon their bales of eotton, end returning
laden with homehold comforts to their
home* before they indulge in such talk^
A meeting of colored men for the pur
pose Of snoouraging the exodus of South
ern negroes to the West was held last
evening at the Zion Methodist Church, at
Bleecksr and Tenth streets. Tbe Bev.
Henry Highland Garnett was advertised
to be present. He sent a letter,of regret,
exprersing sympathy with tbe movement.
He wrote that he would dig, sift gravel,
or do any other work to help his brethren
of the South out of their suffering
condition. George T. Downing made
a long address. He said that no
more filtiog offering of charity
could be made on Holy Thursday than
aid extended to the bUcka of tbe South.
Whatever bright prospects or improve
ments had. sprung up any where in the
South sines the war were due to North
ern capital and the labor of oolored men.
The same capital and labor could do still
more for tbe West. The South had had
iu opportunity and had thrown it away.
Many railroads had expressed through
their officers their readiness to employ
thousands of black men; the principal
railroads -had promised to carry them to
the West at one cent a mile. There were
the best opportunities for them in New
Mexico and Arizona, at hard work in the
mines, which promised from S1.25 to
|1.60 a day. Wnat was needed was pres
ent assistance to enable these poor blacks
to avail themselves of these opportuni
ties.
The Her. W. F. Dickerson said that he
was recently in Georgia, and could say
from actual observation that tho old op
pressor was seeking again to bind tho
chains upon the wriBte of the black man.
New York’s voice musb be heard, and it
would have a great effect upon them,
What was necessary was to move the
sympathies of the people that their
real sentiments Bhould be express
ed. He wonld not call np the ugly
memories of the past, bnt the South had
thrown down the gauntlet and they were
obliged to'take it np.
Beaolntiona were adopted which set
forth the principal wrongs and Bufferings
of the Sonth blacks, approved the West
ern exodus and called upon sympathizers
for pecuniary aid.
There are several capital errors and
palpable falsehoods in the above state
ment. We will notice only two:
1st. The allegation that "whatever
bright prospects or improvements had
sprang op anyUhere in the South since
the war were due to Northern capital
and the labor of the colored men.”
The very opposite of this ia true.
When the war closed the poor negroes
were victimized and mercilessly plunder
ed by Yankees and, Badical provost mar-
marshals, Freedmen’s Bureau agents,
derioal carpet-baggers, missionary wolves
in sheens clothing and a crowd of other
harpies who effectually robbed and de
spoiled tbe simple-hearted blacks.
Collections for the support of these
heaven-sent missionaries were taken up
every Sunday, and the Bureau agents
especially fairly rioted upon the scanty
means of this needy portion of our popu
lation.
The writer will give a single illustra
tion: He was then engaged in tbe culti
vation of a farm near Cnthbert, Ga. On
a.certain night one of his freedmen was
seen by another to abstraot a quantity of
oorn from bis crib thraugh an aperture
which bad been bored in the floor. He
reported tbe theft, bnt tbe acoused party
stoutly denied the statement. There was
no other alternative bnt to carry all
bands before tbe Burean Agent and let
him decide the case. This was done—-the
proprietor attending in person, with his
ten colored employes. After hearing the
evidence, this Federal dignitary inquired
‘how much corn had been stolen?’' Toe
answer was, "About tbree bushels.”
"Then,” said he, "I fine each laborer ten
dollars, whioh you can collect and pay to
me, after deducting the valne of yonr
corn.”
The result was, that^we told the farm
hands to “go and sin no more.” The idea
of eesiog the innocent, as well as the
guilty, mnloted to tbe tone of 8100 for
the benefit cf thiB so-ealled officer of
justice waa more than we could bear.
This is hut one cose ia ten thousand.
Then, after the freedmen, through their
Industry and the liberal contracts made
with their employers, had aocumulatid
millions in the National Freedmen’s
Saving Bank, (he whole was scooped up
by their Northern Badioal saviors.
All the property acquired by onr col
ored citiz3ns is the result of their deal
ings with their old friends and former
owners, the landholders of the country,
They hare sold or leased them homes
on the most favorable terme; they give
them, when working on shares, one-half
or a third of the net profits, often for*
nishing besides the stock and
equipment of the farm; they
pay them for standing wages more
money than the peasantry of any nation
on the globe receive; and moreover the
freedmen enjoy equal rights in the courts
and are the recipients also of numerons
favors and kindnesses from the superior
race. Hence the falsity of Mr. George
T. Downing's assertions.
The other lying statement we shall
notice Is that of the Bev (I) W. F. Dicker-
son, who raid, "that hs was recently in
Georgia, and he eonld say from aotnal
observation that the old oppressor was
seeking again to bind the chains npon
the wrists of the black man.”
Scorning to plead to such a charge, we
are not afraid to pat npon tbe Usnd the
best oolored men of the State, and abide
the answers they shall make. Snob men
as But. Green MoArtby, Bev. Mr. Gaines,
Bev. Hr. MoCurdy,; Mr. Jeff Long, ex«
Postmaster Belcher and a hundred others
that oould be named.
Again, any who witnessed the Mayor*
ally eleotion In Maoon or the Congres
sional contests in the Seventh and Ninth
districts, are competent witnesses aa to
whether or not the colored man is "op
pressed” in Georgia.
Such stuff as Dickerson utters, albeit
intended for partisan political purposes,
will deceive no one. Our oolored friends
hare tried the experiment already, of
changing their oomfortable homes for
Arkansas and the Mississippi bottoms,
and almost ia every instsnee have either
periahed or begged their way baok again,
m some cases on foot.
The fine publio sohool system ot Geor
gia, her genial climate, and the friendly
spirit of her people, will always furnish
the best possible reasons for onr oolored
citizens to remain where they are, while
the returns of their taxable property
■hew whether or not they are prospering.
KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
Meeting of tbe Gran* Ledge of the
■tale—Speeches of Welcome—Pro
ceedings—Banquet Last Might.
Yesterday morning, in (he very hand
some lodge rooms of the Emmett Lodge or
the Order of the Haights of Honor, tke
Grand Lodge of the State convened.
The usual ceremonies, the enrollment
of the names of delegatee took place,
when the formal speech of welcome to
the visiting brethren was pronounced by
Dr. J. Emmett Blackshear in the follow
ing fitting terms: *
Grand Dictator and Brethren all of the
Grand Zodge,K ofH hf Ga.:—On bebalf
of Emmett Lodge, No. 250, the grateful
duty has been assigned me to express
the gratification we feel at having you
with us, and to convey to you the heart
felt desire that you may derive pleaaure
and allot ns profit from this tbe fouith
annual session of your Grand Body.
Although indebted to the Supreme
Lodge for our birth as a Lodge, we are
youra by adoption; and we are indeed
prond to acknowledge our allegianoe, and
to declare our filial devotion to a body so
eminently honored in every respect as
the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Honor
ot the State ot Georgia. We feel, there
fore,that we are enjoying a distinguished
feast—a privilege indeed, that we have
long coveted—in this visitation of onr
ffcenign mother,” who has so long
watched over as with parental care and
tenderness; and, happy to have it in oar
power to evince onr high appreciation of
the benefits and privileges we have en
joyed under an administration so just,
equitable and benign, we throw open to
you the doors of our Lodge, snd wider
still, the doors of our ^hearts and greet
you with a cordial welcome.
No selfish or mercenary object has
brought you together on this occasion.
You are here not for motives of personal
aggrandizement, not to gratify sor
did ambition, nor, in a vainglorious
effort to win the applause of your
fellow-men, bnt yon have oome simply in
willing response to duty’s call, led by the
gentle band of
Sweet Charity, celestial maid.
'Whole Godlike minion ii to aid
The needy ; succor to bestow
OnlUfferiDBmortal* here below;
To pluck tromaorrow’a wound tbe sting
Ana from, the bitter depths ot woe
To lift the crashed and bleeding heart;
The balm ot tweet oontent to bring,
Sia hope return, and gloom depart.
Aye, in thl* work, at her command.
Foremost the Knights of Honor stand.
The tender ivy borne up by the giant
oak entwined its tendrilB around tbe
spreading brsnahes of the .noble tree, to
beoome its obief attraction, its most strik
ing ornamentation ; bntwhen that mon
arch of the forest is nprooted by tbe
storm,, or shivered by the lightning’s
stroke, tbe clinging vine, for want of
support, falls to the earth, to be trodden
under foot of man. Io like manner, wo
man, supported by the strong arm of
man, softens and refines his nature, and
fitB him, sb he oonld in no other way be
fitted, for the duties and amenities otlife;
but when that strong arm is palsied in
death, the loving and tender wife, buffe
ted by the rongh waves of a cold and
sslflsh world, for want of a supporting
baud too often falls under the weight of
penary and want, despondecoy and gloom
never to rise to her proper sphere more
To provide for the etrioken widow—

natural support, to comfort her and her
sorrowing offspring in the heur of dis
tress, and to furnish them with substan
tial protection against suffering and want,
ia the noble work in which you and we,
as Knights of Honor, are engaged.
The sums that have been annually
expended in this noble chanty einoe the
organization of the Hnighta of Honor in
1873, amounting in the aggregate to
81,410.000, is an imperishable monument
to the beneficence of the order to whioh
we can point with profound satisfaction
and pleasure, and the heart of each mem
ber should feel a thrill of sincere gratifi
cation in knowing that he has been in
part instrumental in the good that has
been thus accomplished; and could we
know the amount of suffering that has
been thereby averted, the gratntide that
has welled up from bereaved hearts and
tbe blessings in response to benefits re
ceived that have fallen from lipa tremu
lous with tender and heartfelt emotion,
we could well imagine that the angel of
mercy, iu the plentitude of her joy at
this munificent contribution to the relief
of suffering humanity, had borne the
glad tidings to the spiritual hosts, and
thatin heaven there has been rejoicingover
tbe goed that had cn earth, bo quietly
and unostentatiously, been accomplished
through our beloved order. And when
we think of the ordeal through whioh
the order has in tho laBt year passed
and passed unscathed, an ordeal, indeed,
snob as no organization of a similar char
acter has ever before been subjected to
and survived, wetl may we say the suc
cess of tbe Knights ot Honoris secured
beyond question, aud that the Order is
now npon a bsais that will render it a per
manent beneiioiary institution of onr land
and country.
Bnt I must not longer trespass on yonr
time. Again, brethren, I wsloome yon
here, and trnst yonr brief sojonxn with us
may prove mutually agreeable add profit
able, and that your deliberations may re
dound to tbe interest of humanity, and
the advancement of our beloved Order.
Ssspocse was made by the Grand Dic
tator of ths Order, Mr. S. H. Shepard, of
Augusta, who spoke as follows:
Brother J. Emmett Blackshear and Brother
Knights cf Emmett Lodge No, 260:
This cordial, open-hearted, free-banded
welcome you have tendered the Grand
Lodge of Georgia meet3 with a response
in onr hearts that seems elaost a sacri
lege for us to attempt to utter in words.
The glad hearty shake of the hand,
add the cheerful words of pleasure at
meeting us, and words of encouragement
ia cur duties that have been extended to
us since we arrived in your city, wsb all
that any of ua would have thought nec
essary to assare as of the pleasure you
felt in having ms with you, but when yon
add to these thi* hearty welcome in
words so aptly and beautifully spoken,
and tender for our mse a room
so magnifioent, whose every appur
tenance, every adornment speaks of
au elegant, refined and thoroughly ap
propriate taste, then has your welcome of
us surpassed our anility to express our
appreciation of it Coming, ae we do,
from all parts of the State, strangers in
name to you, we find, almost before cur
feet have trod your soil, that wo are with
friends, net strangers, i that the mystic tie
that binds us knows not the boundaries
of cities, towns, or even States, bnt rather
that the knowledge of our being Hnigbts,
Hnighta of Honor, openB your heatts
and your arms, and without knowledge of
name, parentage or nation, yon take us to
your hearts with all the deep and impres
sible meaning of the term as brothers.
For this greeting—for this welcome, I,
in the name of the Grand Lodge of Geor
gia, Haights of Honor, thank you,
and at ths tame time assure you
that this time, this scene, these faces,
Bhall not soon be forgotten by na who
have been thus privileged.
Our body having assembled here for
the purpose of performing the duties re
quired of it oan the better perform the
same when we are thus surrounded with
so many comforts ae you have provided
for us, and the only impediment that oan
possibly present itself is that we may
perhaps feel that these surroundings are
too fine, too costly for our use, but as
you have freely tenderrd, we freely ac
cept, and may the acts ofourb'dyiu
this hall speak as highly ot the ability
and conservatism ef its members as doss
this handsome ball speak of the prosper
ity, love for the Order and exoelleat taste
of tbe membership of Emmett Lodge
No. 250.
£}What the work of a Haight is, has
'ust been beautifully illustrated by Bro.
l.ckabear by the oak and the ivy, sad
to It lean only add, with his permission,
that when the ivy is deprived of it* sup
port, the Btately oak fallen to the ground
and itself crashed and mangled beacath
the feet of the careless and nnthinMag,
it may, with the help of the merciful and
hind, be aided, until new life, new aspi
rations, show themselves, and tbe ivy,
deprived by nature’e commands of the
oak that has for years supported it and
that it has for years adorned, :ma; seek a
new protector, a new support, and with
all its former beanty adorn the new ae
completely as it was its glory to adorn
the old. This metaphor, brother Hnigbts,
may not be a* pleasant to you whec you
put the wife for the ivy aud the Hnight
for the oak, as that presented by Bro.
Blackshear, but that it ie possible you
must admit, and we, aa Haights, may
often, with our 82.GCO death benefit, act
the kind and merciful, and help the
buried vine to find a strong and nnvined
oak.
At the conclusion of the speeches, the
members of Emmett Ledge retired, and
the Grand Lodge entered upon its duties*
The day was consumed with prelimina
ries, the reports of officers and the ap
pointment of committees.
The annual eleotion of offioers will
take place to-day. The attendance »
wmsrmlly large, and the greatest interest
is manifested in the body. It is one of
the finest looking and moat efficient bod
ies of men whioh has ever assembled in
Macon. The utmost good feeling pre
vailed throughout the meeting. The
Lodge wll be inseeaion to-day.
THI BINQUIT.
Last evening at the Lanier Honse a very
handsome banquetwas tendered the visit
ors by tbe knights of this city.
The table was spread in the din
ing ball of the Lanier House, and
waa ladaaed with everything the
most caprioions taste could exact, be
sides the latest fruits of the season. The
arrangement was perfect, and the supply
bountiful to the laat extent. After sup
per the speaking began. The following
was the list of toasts and the responses;
The Grand Lodge ot the Hnighta of
Honor of the State of Georgia. Besponse
by Hr. S. H. Shepard, Grand Diotator of
the State. This duty waa deputed to and
well performed by Major W. F. Slaton,
of Atlanta.
The Supreme Lodge. Besponse by Mr.
O. T. Bogere, of Covington.
Hnighta of Honor of Massachusetts.
Bsspouse by Mr. Gammett, of Boston,
who made a unique, humorous and excel
lent sueeoh, whioh was frequently ap
plauded.
The next toast was "The City of Ma

Grand Lodge of tbe Haights of Honor,”
and waa responded to by Captain J. C.
Butherford, of this citv, m a brilliant
speech.
The sentiment, "To all absent Hnighta

The sentiment offered to the press waa
answered by Mr. John T. Boifnellett, Jr.,
who spoke in a happy and spirited style,
and Mr. J. H. Jones.
Several other knights were called on and
responded, and until one o’clock the mu-
sic of popping champagne corks waa like
picket firing all over the hall, and the
lights went dowu on a complete success.
EFFECTS OF THE BAIN.
Breaks on the Ballroads—Oamace to
the Streets, Bride**, Etc.—Damage
to Crops.
The recent rains have been general
throughout Middle and Southern Georgia,
and the fall of water has been almost un
precedented. The damage to the planted
crons has been immense, and the
farmers who have been heard from
report that replanting will be
necessary in many fields, especially those
on hill sides, or places exposed to the ac
tion of tanning water.
The railroads throughout this portion
of the State have {also suffered by the
heavy rise in the water courses crossed
by their rails. Trains running into the
city were somewhat irregular and uncer
tain yesterday.
A break occurred on the Macon and
Augusta road about twelve miles from
the city.. The damage, however, was
alight and was repaired promptly, ne
cessitating a delay of about twenty-five
minntee. The night passenger went ont
on time.
On the Atlanta division ot the
Centra! road a break from the
pressure of water on a sewer
near Barnesville, oooorred just after the
day passenger train from this city bad
pss3ed np. Beth up and down way
freights were delayed. The gap was,
however, repaired by abont half-past
three o’dook, letting the delayed trains
pass, and allowing the regular passenger
to retch the eity on tohednle time last
evening.
A break from water baa seldom
ever occurred on this line of road, aa no
stream two inches in depth is crossed
from Maoon to Atlanta. On the Savan
nah division, a small bridge was washed
away near No. 16. The day passenger
train that left Macon for Savannah
at seven e’olock yesterday morning was
at Ust aceounts delayed at the break
at half-put eight o’clock yesterday
evening. No train from Savannah reash
ed the city yesterday. The authorities
are very aotive in their efforts to repair
the damages, and by to-day it is thought
all traces cf the break will have been ef
faced. The night passenger left Ust
evening on sohednle time.
A break ia also reported on the South-
western road. Below Fort Valley, en the
Columbus line, a water gap was washed
out; and the train for Columbus, which
went out at 9 o’clock, was still at Fort
Valley, at last accounts yesterday after-.
neon, unable to pass. Boad hands hsTe
been sent to the scene, and repairs will
probably be completed this morning.
The line from Maoon to Eufaule is in-
t&ot and no damage is anticipated. Ia
the eity the damage to the streets is very
great. Gullies have been washed on the
streets and sidewalk* furrowed generally.
Oa Magnolia street the terracing around
the new residence or Mr. Bd. Hugo en in
has been considerably washed and tbe
foundation of the fencing undermined,
dbtfaor damages about tbe oily to tbe
streets alone are estimated at from 81,000
to81,50G. ’
Theacsuu Purer.
The preparations for tbe reunion party
have been nearly completed, and' it will
be one of tbe moet largely attended en
tertainments that has occurred in the
oity in a long time. Many tickets have
been sold.

Union Teachers’ Besting.
The officers and teachers of the First
Baptist and Mulberry Street Methodist
Sunday Schools will hold a uuion teach- ^
era’ meeting to-night at 8 o’clock at the
residence of Mr. Charles B. Ellis, on

Tke Light.
' The Light, the monthly publication
devoted to the interests of the Hebrew
Young Men’s Association, is sgain before
us. It is very readable, and is popular
with all the friends of the association.
May its "light" long shine.
First Street Church Meetings,
The special services at the First Street
Methodist Chnrcb, though greatly inter
fered with by bad weather, continue to
increase in interest. There have been
several accessions already, and much
seriousness prevails. The meetings will
continue nightly during this week, and
afterwards be held morning and evening.
The indications point to a general awsk-
ming in the congregation.
Brevities.
The Southern Express Company has
two new substantial and handsome wag.
one, which tbe manager is the Maoon
office has just added to the rolling stook
of the company in this place.
Adams’ Park will bo the popular place
for pioaios this season. The place haa
beennioey fitted np with eottsges, a
danolng platform, fenced in and made
generally attractive.
The Harmonic concert comes off tc-
ntgtt
Washed Away.
The temporary bridge over Walnut
creek, whioh has been doing duty for the
past few weeks, while the handsome new
iron Btraoinre is being completed, was
washed away early yesterday morning,
and travel is temporarily suspended ih
that direction. It can be replaoed in a
few hours. The new bridge will soon be
opened to the pnbllo. The work is being
rapidly pushed, and tbe oontraotora will
be as prompt aa possible.
TBE K1VEB,
The Banks Oretflowed and the Water
htm Rising.
Yesterday evening the behavior of the
river attracted considerable attention*
The waters began to rise and coutinned
to do eo, until laat evening they had left
the banks and weie enoroachiug on the
low lands along the shore. Quantities of
drift wood oame floating down, and nu
merous oralis flitted along the enrfaoe,
gathering it in for sale and nse..
The rise last evening waa quite rapid,
the stream rising at the rate ofeix inches
to the hour. The thread of the current
was very plainly marked and the speed
of the stream was greatly accelerated.
The bsst judges of the river opine that
the highest point will be reached about
ten o’clock this morning.
BAIN FALL.
Tke Heaviest lit Three Tears.
The heaviest rain which has fallen in
Macon in the last three years fell yester
day morning between the hoars of three
and six otelock. From Mr. J. M. Board-
man, the veteran meteorologist of middle
Georgia, we learn that the ac
tual fall of rain waa three and
five hundreths inches. The rainfall yes
terday 1 morning, late in the day, would
increase these figures to neatly fonr
inchsB in twenty-four hours. This makes
on each square foot of earth a fall of come
676 incheB of water. In a gallon there
are 231 cubio inohes, making two and a
half gallons fall to each square foot of
earth. The amount to the acre may
readily be computed.

Bt. Paul’s Easter Picnic.
The Episcopalians seem to be fated in
regard to the Easter picnic. The heavy
rains yesterday prevented a full turn-out
of the children to go the Fork.
Those in charge of the Christ Church
school concluded to postpone again until
Monday next, when the picnic will occur,
if the day ia at all propitious.
The little folks of St. Paul’s, however,
no longer able to yield to the opposing
•Iements, held their picnio at the Park.
The attendance was unusually good con
sidering the day. The halls were the
moet popular places. About halt-past
two a bountiful dinner was served, and
aftdrwards games were played and an an
imated indoor hunt after Easter eggs in
dulged in.
Ia charge of the table were some of
the best housekeepers of the churoh and
all did well from tbe stately matron to the
‘little maid,' whose gnoefnl offices were
highly appreciated by all who were serv
ed. Although the day was excessively un
pleasant all seemed to enjoy the occasion.
An Agi or Compstition.—In this day
ot the world, competition is aotive in the
extreme. But, ia the long inn, it is the
best which wiza the prise of publio pref

used to bolster np weak artiolea. For
this reason, Dooley’s Yeast Powder is
recognised as the highest possible
achievement in baking powder.
Snakes M Idle DeMroyers
The lose of life in India due to the
ravages of venomous snakes ie almost
incredible. Yet the disease whioh is as
wily and deadiy as the deadliest India
reptile, ia winding its coil around thous
ands of people while the victims are un-
oonacioos of its presenoe. It has long
been a hobby with incompetent physi
cians to assume that consumption is in
