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.

Thv Cbar'essoa News and Courier says. “A million ucd a half of people In the 3-athbtn States are connected with the Baptist Courob, and the assembling of the Southern Baptist Convention at Atlanta on the 8th instant is therefore an event of no mean importance.

The Chronicle’* weather telegrams from tbe cotton region are generally fa vorabie. Texas has experienc.il consid erable relief, as well as damage from tbe late immense rains.

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 —ne was asked to emancipate and go, and many of them actually sold their Domes and made their way to the prom- istd land. Wbat became of them P Most ,<f them died from starvation. That was 35 years ago.

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. A COnPLBTK lUiUJSPU. No. S. Earn* a Haid-fougbS Victory but. Is CunQuered bjr tbe Uriflliilies’ 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.

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.

Cabolthn 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* The following is the score: naJIITLATOOX, W M Good.......I A L Lemaa... T K Grestiaaj....

Baby HED AND BLUE. 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.
