military Interference with
.Elections.
The effort in Congress now, on the
part of Democracy, is to compel the
Administration and its partisans to fix
and define their exact position in regard
to military interference with elections.
The constitution establishes the cocdi-
itons of Federal military interference
In tho States. It ii allowable
only on demand of the Leg
islature of the State, or of the
Governor when the Legislature is not in
session. The laws which the Democrats
oppose ae mere usurpations of a mo#t
dangerous character, undertake to place
troopB in a State at Federal discretion or
at the caprice or sinister design of subor
dinates, working in the interest of their
own emolument and the political parti
sans who appoint them.
The Democrats in the bill now before
CoDgresa prohibiting this dangerous
and anti-Bepnblican practice, hare
stated the case as clearly as possible and
they intend if a veto comes, there eball
be no room for misapprehension a'•out
its animus and interest.
But the Jolly Bobeson brought for
ward a substitute yesterday intended to
act the part of a cuttle-fish in biding
the point at issue. His substitute for
bids such use of troops “unless it eball
be necessary,” etc., a necessity the ex
istence of which the administration and
its partisans are, of course, to bo sole
judges. His bill, therefore, amounte to
a declaration that the troops eball not
be employed in dragooning elections, ex
cept at thuwillof tho administration. It
is M, voxctprelerea nihil” .Ic makes no
change in tno law, but it is a cover they
mean to run under to escape the respon
sibility of defeating practical legislation
against this corrnpt and dangerouB
usurpation.

Thv Cbar'essoa News and Courier says.
“A million ucd a half of people In the
3-athbtn States are connected with the

Tbe “Exodus,” So-Called.
Wd cannot fee! any sympathy with the
degree of alarm and dissatisfaction mani
fested in the Southwest abont the so
called negro exodns to Kansas. What
little effect it prednsM will be far frem
unmixed evil. A3 a general proposition,
looking at tbe wbole field and regarding
tbo welfare of sll section?, it is well, it i l
were possible, that oar colored population
should not be massed on one section of
the oountry, tut diffaaed through all.
This would place them more immediately
under the iuflaenoe of the whites and ao
quaint the whites more ptrfeotly with the
necessities and peonlistit'.es of the blacks.
At the same time it will be of service to the
emigratiogblaoks. Nothing cures discon
tent more speedily end perfectly th?n fie
personal experience they will obtain. It in
true the physic will be fatal in some
coses, and many may not be able to re
turn who desire to do so; but the story
of their fortunes will get back if they
themselves do not, and will soon eatiafy
the Southern negro that his place is the
South, in the climate and among thepeo
pie where he was born and raised, and
the pursuits and modus vivendi to whioh
he is accustomed.
In the popniouB North or West, among
strangers, a man without means, be he
white or black, is but a strange ant
among tne thronging myriads of the hil
lock, and ho may starve as many do, un
known andnnnoticed. But there is no star
vation and littlo or no suffering from bo
dily want m tbe Sonth. Toe shortest road
therefore, to general contentment among
tho dissatisfied population, wherever they
may be, is the way round by Kansas and
tbo Northwest. Let enough of them go
to make tho experiment and report, and
let all feel at liberty to go. There is
nothing that will reconcile some men to
their home if they become impressed
with the one idea tfast they cacnot get
away from it even if they want to.
As for the alarm about the *'scarcity of
labor” ao-oalled, and the talk about the
Chinese, we can't feel any sympathy with
that, either. Wo judgo that there are at
leaBt a hundrod thousand idle white men
in the Southern Stufs yet, who would be
happier, healthier and richer it they
would take a hand at labor; and reoruite
from this source are pouring into the
field every year by thousands. The
tannt3 of our Northern friends abont the
cotton crop being the exclusive product
of negro labor, are a* wide of tbe mark
as moet of their other taunts. It is now
very largely a white labor produo: and
every successive year is becoming more
so. Even in Southern Georgia it is
common sight to see men of both taces at
work in the same field, and when you
strike Tennessee and go Northward there
are more whites than blacks to be seen
in the field.
In Mississippi and Louisiana they
might feel helpless far a time with a very
short supply of colored labor, but they
would 8.-03 learn better, and Texas wil
soon be substantially a white labor State
a«to the grtater part of h< r.
Bat there is solid wisdom in the views
of two emimnt colored men whom we
quote below- The firs: of these is Sens
tor Broca, of Mississippi, recently inter
viewed about the labor convention now
in session in that State. Says he
“I hold, and havo always held, that
the interes'sof the two races at the South
are so bieuded that one cannot suffei
without in some way materially affecting
the other, and that there is no necessary
conflict of interests between them which
-ould reader an exodus of the laboring
cla-ses expedient or desirable.
Tms convention, he eaid, shonid em
brace tbo competent men of every cite*,
and ta the letter be has written in reply
to Colonel Nugent, who, on the part ol
tbe business men of Vioksbnrg, extended
him the invitation to address the meet
ing, he suggests that not only shonid tbe
convention look to messnres and action
that will remove all causes of uneasiness
and insecurity from the minds of (hose
oontempl .ting emigration, whether ex
isting relative to person or property of
the emigrants, bnt It Ehoold encourage
the oulored working cla-ses to acquire
property in tbe Southern States—-home-
steade and the property interests oonneot-
ed therewith—-o as more closely than
ever to identify tho yeomanry witb tbe
plaoe of their birth and residence, and
thus lay the foundation for development
and oontebtment among them on a firmer
busts -ban has heretofore obtained.
Tbe second quotation is from a lecture
by F edenck Douglass, United States
Marshal of tbi District of Colombia, re
cently delivered ac Baltimore. Speaking
of this Kansas emigration scheme, be
says:
Fifty years ago it was to Hayti, a new
land of CsnaaD, where grapes were large,
an-’ bananas larger, and those wno went
« i glad to get back. Then came along
another para-lise for the negro—Jamaica

and many of them actually sold their
Domes and made their way to the prom-
istd land. Wbat became of them P Most

The Pocasnet Tragedy.
Pocassit, Mass., May 6.—The follow
ing named persona will be arrested as ac
cessories to the killing of Freeman’s
child: Aldin P. Daviw, Charles F. How
ard, Nathaniel Wing, Alvin Wing, W«l.
ter H. Wing, Phineaa Gibbs, Jr., Harriet
N. Swift and Ann Louisa Howard.
The murder of this poor little victim,
as a sacrificial offering to Divine justice,
with the consent and approbation of ber
mother, and probably a score of neigh
boring co-religionists, is a strange dis
closure of religious fanaticism for this
age of the world, but a very old one. It
antedates the time of Bael—it was seen
with terror by the ancient Banians when
they conquered Britain and penetrated
the gloomy groves of the ancient Druids.
Tbe Spanish conquerors of Mexico heard,
with curdling blood,- the. horrid shrieks
of the human victims among the ancient
Aztec?. In short, PocaBset has had its
victims among nearly all peoples in every
quarter of the globe since the world be
gan.
And there is no sound plea of insanity
in this 0330. The parents.were not crazy.
They acted with deliberation—against all
their feelings and sympathies, and per
force of ..conclusions drawn from false
premises. Srme of the Northern papers
express astonishment thatscoh a strange
delusion shonid possess the minds of in-
elligent Massachusetts people—"hardy
Yankees of Cape Cod"—sober-minded
and religious people—after their fathers.
Bat thirty-five years ago the same peo
ple-then called Millerites, es well as
Second Adventists,were .still more exten
sively tffl.cted with this delusion.
Thousands of them divested them
selves of all their property except an
“ascension robe,"in the undoubting belief
that tho world would be destroyed in
few hours. Sharp, painstaking, money
making people—who had toiled and
hoarded through a long life to make pro
visions for old ago—left themselves with
out a dollar in evidence of their implicit
faith in Miller’s txnibition of Daniel’s
prophecies. These did not sum np by
score?, but there were hundreds in every
important community, and many thou-
tands throughout Massachusetts and
New England. Such illustrations of
sincere, but baseless religious faith,
scoald teach pity for errorists and great
care to keep the beaten path and in the
clear sun-light of truth.

Hospitality—'Tbe Ball and Banquet.
Home Again.
The trip of Defiance No. 5 to Griffin
was a complete triumph, from the time
of departure to the moment the company
was dismissed at the engine house yes
terday morning. The triumph was not ol
together on i he p irt of No. 5,bnt alio t hat of
tne firemen, citizens and ladies of tho fair
little city. They deserve to be crowned
victors in hospitality, for they at one
short engagement, not by any long drawn
campaign, have completely captured the
hearts of the members of No. 6 who were
on tbe excursion, and thoss of all from
Macon who attended the company. In
all these regards they share in the tri
umphs of the occasion.
Tua contest w?» tho closest that hss
ever been known in Griffin, and wa3 prob
<b1y never excelled in the annals cf our
department.
i’ne Urao company to iun wus the
Stonewall of Griffia. The runners wore
olue and white with red caps. They
swept down the track like trained racers
moving with a precision that made tho
Macon boys open toeir eyes and allowed
that they were engaged in no contest be-
twesnbojs. The run was made in thir
teen seconds, and when the blackboard
went up snowed that the test had been
made in 25$ second*.
No. 1 or Griffin next stepped to the
front, her runners also olad in blue and
white with striped hosiery,and flew down
tbe ttack, she making the inn in twelve
seconds and throwing a stream of water
a hundred feet in 25} tesond?. Five’*
men oame forward and made the first
run in 12 seconds, and when the board
with the score went up the figures read
27} second*, where upon it could have
b *en recorded the visages of the men of
No. 6, were elongated to an alarming ex
tent.
la the second (rial of No. 2, of Griffin,
the run was handsomely made. As the
nose ri el passed the engine, Mr. Jobo
Bnokalow, who was nurseling tbo hose,
fell and was dragged through the dost, a
perfect cloud closing over him. The
coupling was made in a beautiful manner
and a score ol 26 scoonds posted up.
No 1, of Griffin, made lightning con
nections in her seoond run, but lost
■lightly in getting water. The board
told areoord of 26}seoonds. This placed
No. 2 a quarter of a rsound ahead of No
1 Frye oame next, and as she swept
along the traok eho wed that the men were
doing th*lr beat. Tbe mn consumed 11}
seconds, and the official reoord stowed a
score of 26 second*. The third run of
the Btonewalis waa a beautiful peioe of
woik. Just like the work of a polished
machine tbe men moved along tbe track,
tne hose was attached to the engine and
the water spatted through it in
27} t-ecouds. There was some delay In
getting water, which marred the time
record of the company.
Griffin, No. 1 then made its final dash
Bight gallantly she moved over the allot
ted space. Like the wo:k of mag
ic, the hose connections wero ef
fected, bat water was called for an
instant too soon, and aa it cwept through
the hose, the pipe went with it. It was
recovered and placed on; but, alas, too
late, sixty-two seoonds had pasted away,
and the company lost its chanoes.
The straggle tben came. This was the
last run of No. 5 and of the day. The
excitement grew intense. The Macon
boys were exhorted to do their best. All
the Maoon visitors ranged themselves
along os eaoh side of the track to “whoop
tho boys up.” The runners felt that this
was tbo supreme moment, and a look
of resolntion amounting to desperation,
was piotured en every face. The signal
whistle started the squad. As though
riding on the wings of the wind, they
moved over the ground aa lightly and
almost as free, made all the
ooanectiosa handsomely/ the water
at the first dash fifing beyond the 100 feet
Kr. Hayne Eilis, who waa time-keeper
for No. S. waa seated on the parapet
wall of a two story brick building over
looking tho scene. He threw up hi?
hands and gave signs of viotory. Tbe
next moment all eyes were strained to
see the blackboard, and as it turned to
the crowd tbe figures read 25}.
This was a quarter of a second ahorter
time than had bean madp. Enthusiasm
knew ao bounds. Mr. Geo. Harris, fore
man of the company, embraced twenty
men in four minutee. Mr. Morris Rog
ers, president, dislocated several hands;
several members lost their cape, and all
are taking chlorate of potash to-day for
sore throata. The Gnffia firemen joined
heartily id the general rejoicing, and
tbe scene was crowned with the utmost
good feeling.
A perfect rush, was made for the tele
graph office and every speoie of telegram
crowdt d over the wires, and all, through
the courtesy of Mr. Charlie Logan, :he
operator, at dead-heed rates.
The pritia were delivedby Mr. Walter
Beeka of the Griffin bar, in a beautiful
and appropriate speech, full of thegraces
of oratory and ornaments of speech.
Colonel Thomas Hardeman, our silver-
tongued orator, received the prize for
No. 5, thirty dollars in gold, in a speech
of eloquence.
Tbe seoond award was made to the
“Stonewall” Company, No. 2, and was
received tyy Bjt. S. R Kendall, in one
of the most appropriate speeches we
have ever heard.
The third prize, an immense tin horn,
wasgiventoNo. 1, of Griffin, and the
speech made by Mr. C. B. Johnson, of
tbe Griffin bar, inanelrquent manner.
The viotory' of No. 5 is a brilliant one.
The difference in the two engines used,
for both of the Griffia companies visaing
tbe same engine, was marked. The
Griffin engine is a second-class rotary
pump, double action, a moat efficient and
powerful machine. No. 5 is a fourth-
cIibj, piston pump (machine, of less
power and promptness of action.
To no one does the company owe its
victory more than to the management of
Mr. Harris, the foreman. The squad
who did the work wore Messrs. P. Pierce,
A. Zabera, J. C. Deitz, Henry Loh, C. M.
Nutting, Wiliie Juhan, E. A. Isaacs, J.
A. Bohr, and A. M. Green on the reel A
N. Heckle, engineer, O. H. Heckle, coup
ler at engine, A. W. Batts, pipemsn, and
T. J. Carling, assistant, and G. H. Bern
ner, disconnector ol hose.
BALL ASD BOSQUET.
At night two spacious hulls were thrown
open besides the banquet room. At tbe
Opera House a dance was given, and the
soft strains of music beguiled the hours,
while the gathered beauty of Griffio,
which had locked with so much interest
from the windows and balconies, now met
our gallant firemeD, end showered gener
ous words of congratulation on the mod
est beads of the viotors.
The dance was very enjoyable. Among
those present were the Misses Trammell,
Miss Farmer, Mias K<ng, Misses.Brooka,
Beck, Hamburger, of Birnesville, Mang
ham, Scaiey, Haitie Head, Westbrook, of
Albany, Dismuks, Brown, of Fort V lley
and m«ny others to jour reporter tn'
known.
Griffin’s gall an l ry, too, was present, and
muoh of tils eucoess of the occasion was
due, as ibdsed the pleasures of the day,
to Chief Little, Mr. James Nunnally, B.
T. Daniel and Mr. Muck.
At eleven the ball-room was deserted
for the banquet hall and a moat mag'
nificent spread was laid for tho visitors.
Bounty was itself personified and excel
ienco outdone. The supper w&3 the crea
tion of the ladies of the city, and nobly
did they aquit themselves. After sup-
per(the pieasuers of the ball-room were re
sumed, and waltz aod quadrille followed
each other until the time for the Jeavisg
of tbe company,
Among the pleasant little episodes of
the day may bo mentioned the reception a
beautiful floral design shaped intoa figure
five, made by Miss Estelle King, one
of the accomplished bi duties of Griffin.
The return trip was run safely and
a triumphal entry made into the city.
No, 4 kindly took charge of No. 6’s hose
reel, and the company marched to tin-
engine house, preceded by the brass band,
and was dismissed.
This closed one of the most enjoyable
trips on record. Enjoyable mall of its
bearings in nose more so than tbe reali
zation of generous good feeling manifested
by the Griffiuites, even thongh defeated.
That city has a very iffiiicnt and gal

undone to make their visitors havoagcod

MACON VOLUNTEERS,
Prize Shooting ec the Park.
Yesterday afternoon the Macon Vol
unteers repaired to tbe Park in full uni
form to engage in a prize shooting ooa
test tor the handsome silver goblet won
by Captain Carnes, at the late pionlo at
Adams' Park, and returned by that gen
Usman to the company. Thera was
quite a good tarn oat of men and mnoh
interest was manifested in (ha event.
The range U3ed was in the rear of
tbe Grand stand, facing toward the
lower 6Ed of tho Park, toward the Macon
and Augusta railroad. Here a distance
of two hundred yards was measured and
two targets placed in position. Tbe
shooting waa attended and witnessed by
quite a number of spectators, and the
Volunteers shot their prettiest.
The contest was the closest whioh
has been shot in some time and
the general eoores were much batter
than 03cal, some of tho members doing
the best shooting they have done. Eirly
in the shooting,Mr. A. B. Woodson made
tho splendid score of twenty out of
possible of twenty-five, and his chances
tor the prizs seamed very fair. The
crack shots folhwed each other, making
good scores but none meking twenty.
The members displayed much interest as
each shot was fired, and tbo color of the
signal flag was anxiously looked for.
The last man in the seoond platoon to
sboot was Mr. Campbell T. King. He
successively made a so ore of four. The
last shot, eosring foar and bringing the
red flag up at the target, was gieeted
witn applause aud hurrahs from the meD,
and it was evident that there was a tie.
Privates Woodson and King tben shot
todooMeit. Mr. Woodson shot first, and
witb steady aim and great oare, planted
four bullets near the bull’s eye, scoring
sixteen. His last shot wandered a little
off, making only three, but amounting iu
the aggregate to nineteen.
Mr. King then raised his gun and made
four successive three?, and one four,
making, in the aggregate, sixteen, losing
tho goblet by thxee.
At ono time it looked as if the honors
were about to rest with Mr. Arthur
Boardman. His first four shots scored
eighteen, the beat four shot store of the
day. His last ehot was eagerly watched.
Cirefuliy he raieed his gun, took deliber
ate aim, lowered it, readjnsted the sight,
and then fired. The markerB made a
careful examination of the target, and
found that he had mieeed it altogether*

f rem our own correspondent.!
Griffin, May Ctb, 1879.
This morning at exactly half-past six
o'clock, our special train left Macon witb
your gallant fire company, Defiance No
5, aboard with their jaunty machine,
gleaming like molten gold, their hoee
reel and hones. Besides the company,
which mustered over forty uniform?, un
der command of Foreman Geo. F. Barns,
were quite a number of friends wno ac
companied the potty to see the fan and
enjsy tbe exenreion. Tne trip was made
in excellent time, the train rolling into
the city of Griffin very nearly at the mo
meet fixed in the schedule.
Tbe party, Hatting in the early hour
of the morning, found the passage as
pleasant as could be withed.
The morning dews etiil lingered in their
diamond like brightness on blades of
grass and leaf, while the rays of the
same, softened by the gray haze of the
morning, fill softly over theectn?,giving
life and beaaty to the picture. At For
syth quite a erowd wa* at the depot.
From the guarded battlements of tbe
Monroe Female College, many of the
fair etndtnts waved encouragement witb
bsndkerchief*, or inspired the boys of
Five with glances from their bright eyes.
l'he party wa? re-enforced by several ad
ditions. At Barnesville there was a still
larger number out to do honor to our
men, and the little steamer of the town,
aa light and jaunty a little maiden oe
ever ran to a fire, was drawn np by the
side of the track. Milner and other
stations gave the quo a and by tt • time
tbe train baited in Gnffio, the crowd was
considerable.
“All Along the Biute,” Ike’s orchestra,so
well known in yonr city,gave open air con-
cert*,in which*-GoldenSlippers”were quite
a staple article in the vocal stock and trade.
The Maoon brass band, also with the ex
cursion, furnished brazen music in abun
dance. Not an iuoidot occurred to dim
the smile of joy on each face, and the
Macon boys behaved splendidly.
At Griffin, the reception was just as
hospitable as heart oonld wish. The lit
tle Middle Georgia oity waa looking its
oes t. The fire department dra wn np in a
handsome line, bright with the emblems
of the order, stood at parade rest to re
ceive the chosen gueets. The officers
were mounted on hotses, and as the Ma
con comnany passed down the line, every
bat waa raised. A procession was lormed
and marched np Hill street, in front or
Stillwell & Kerth’s store, where a plat
form was erected.
The firBt officers of the Macon Company
and officers of other companies of your
department were mounted and rode at
the head of the pageant.
At the stand the department wsb baited
and Chief J. J. Little, of the Gnffin de
partment, introduced Mr. Robert J Dan
tel of the Griffin department,who delivered
in a very attractive, forcible and giacefu
manner a speech of welcome to Griffin’s
visitors. His effort waj repeatedly ap
plaudtd and abounded in beautiful
tboughr, brilliant passages, choice quo
cation?, and was, in fact, one of those
whoie-toulecl welcomes which cast on ail
who heard it a home-lika feeling.
A response was made by a member ol
tbe Maoon Department.
At its close Professor Ksrr of this
piece was introduced, and, in a tew happy
remarks, presented te the Griffia compa
nies a march composed by himself.
The crowd at this time saw Colonel
Thomas Hardeman on the stage and tb-
cal 8 which were vociferously made com
pelted that gentleman to respond in *
speech which was brief hot brilliant and
eloquent.
Tne depaxtmei-t paraded tbe e ty, th>
Macon company trading the column.
Their beautiful engine was gaily deckao
with fl iwers.au exquisite wreath of white
and green adorning tbe front, while a
varifgated wreath cf losts enriched lut
golden bnes of ih? smoke btaok.
Tne "Griffin,” No 1, followed with a
splstididdUplay of men in zed and bNok;
followed by the band engine ladened with
the favors of tbe month of May. “3 one

The town itself seemed to echo a thor

After the ditmisslon of the parade all

Enumeration districts aro net Sowed by
law to txceed four thousand inhab.tant*
accordmg to the .euaua of 1870. It is the
view of the drparmtent that in the great
majority of inutances enumeration districts
aboald be much below the maximum indi*
cated, and that only for the stroige t rea
sons should more than ono towuablp, in
butts where to • nshipa exist, be comprised
in an enumeration district.
It follows from what has bes i stated
abovo that applications for appeinuaent to
tha position of Enumerator should be ad-
d eased to the Bupervieov of the district in
which ha appliomt resides. Hence appli-
