Easts Abvesx op the Ccrrjs Wobm.—
Prof. C. V Biloy says that he had anthentio
reports of tho appear&noe of the cotton
worm at different points iu the South. He
hoe Juetrecelvoi a letter from Judge James
E- Bailey, of Marion, Ala., showing that the
worm has boen found in > full-grown condi
tion tbua early in the season, just south of
his looality. Prof- E A; Smith, of Tusca
loosa, Ala., reports the same thing. The
past winter was very severe, and this early
appeirsnoeof tha worm, taken in connec
tion with tha fact that Judge Bailey found
the moths abundantly coming from winter
quarters early in the spring, would seem to
effectually settle in the affirmative the moot
ed qaestion as to the possibility of the in*
sects bybernating in tbe United States
Prof Biley, who had charge of tho cotton
worm mvestig .tion while entomologist of
the D-pertment of Agriculture, ie now vigo
rously pureuing tbe eame inquiry on behalf
of tbe United States Entomological Oommis*

and notwithstanding the nncertanty about
tbe paeeago of the pending legislative bill,
he has engaged sufficient observers in Ala*
bama and Georgia, and bos sent to Southern
Texas especial agent, who will make his
headquarters for the summer st Columbus.

Offers
The Late A. T. Stewart's Ecvcinoxri.
Ecaiufi.—'When Mr. A- T Stewart bought
ten thousand acres on Jamaica plains, Long
Island, and entered upon a vast but well*
considered scheme of improving it, he also
caused a town to be laid out on the estate,
which is wlihin easy distance by rail to New
York. To this prospeotive town ha gave the
mas sf Garden City, and among his plane
was one to make tt the teat of a system or
colleges, with parks and grounds, a grand
Episcopalian oathedral,and a noble residence
for tha bishop, all so richly endowed as to
mike the scheme an assured success. Gar
den City Is to be s sort of American Oxford.
The colleges will be so munlfiosntly equipped
as to surpass, if possible, all other aimilar
institutions in this country. Judge Hilton
is quoted as saying:
‘The entire expenses of a student, male or
female, for board, washing, attendance and
tuition In CTeiy form shall not exoeed $330
per collegiate year of 49 weeks. Besides
this, there will be offered every year as
many free scholarships as possible. The
instr.utions, although endowed by an estate
owned by an Episoopolian family, will be
entirely unsectarian in character. They will
bo conducted upon a policy—far more con
servative in many things than that which
ruins many collegiate institution!—that may
be likened to a revival of the old English
system. But the the pupi’s will be well and
cirsfnlly educated amid beautiful and moral
surrounding, and In a state of comfort as
closely approaching luxury ae college life
may prudently go. Garden Oity will become
literally a college town, every rood being
owned by tbe oallegs management, and
everything being coadaoted for the college
good.’
There U also to be a divinity school, and
ail the buildings aro to be in th3 Engiith
gothlo style and fire-proof. The male col
lege bmllding Is to be finished by September,
1833 The female ool’ege, for which provis
ion also Is made, to be completed within
tbe following year.
Unintentional Osnssioir.—Through
inadvertence, tbe name of our enterpris
ing fellow-citizen, Ur. S. Wsxelbsum,
was omitted from the list of the commit
tee of citizens enumerated yesterday
who have in charge tbe preparation of
the bill for the relief of the city’s finan*
cial troubles. Mr. W&xelbauaa’d sscoeea
in business entitles his counsels in finas<
cial matters to consideration and res
pect.
Tlia Acanthus.
This is the name, as the reader doubt
less kuowe, of a monthly serial published
at Atlanta, and owned by Miss Annie
Maria Barnes. The May number before
as is tho third in volume three, and it
affords us unfeigned pleasure to say that
it will compare favorably in matter, ex
ecution and arrangement with any simi
lar undertaking we wot of, either North
or South. The monthly taked its name
from the beautifal Aciuthua which flour
ishes in tbe moist soil upon the banks of
great rivets and waa held m. high admi
ration by the ancients. Virgil states that
the robe of the famous Helen "was border
ed with a wreath of Acanthus in relief.”
The editor adds, "If any obstacle re
sists the growth of tbs Acanthus, it
seems to struggle to avcrcome it, and to
vegitate with renewed vigor. So, genius,
when acted upon by resistance or oppo
sition, redoubles its attempts to over
come every impediment.”
A very pretty idea, which has its illos
tration in the bright and teeming col
nmns of her literary Acanthus. We find
therein a tasty and elegant melange of
light reading, original and selected, and
ever and anon pleasant articles for the
young, useful recipes, curious puzzles
and conundrums, sparkling scintilla
tions ot fan and hnmor, and much also
of the graver sort for the edification of
maturer minds. Indeed, the make-up
and tout ensemble of tho Acanthus cannot
fail to please, and its gifted and gentle
proprietor sbonld be liberally patronized
by an appreciating public.
Surely such a monthly, emanating from
the popular capital of tue Stale and so
replete with interest and genuine merit,
must succeed, or the South will prove
recreant to herself. The terms, too,
(only seventy.five cents per annum) place
it witbia tbe reach of every family m the
country. Who can refuse to subscribe
for the Acanthus ?
THe Grant Wave.
The New York Herald is trying hard to
persuade itself that the Grant wave is
Bpent. It says:
When a sudden popular wave of this
kind recedes tbe enthusiasm by which it
waa raised is a spent foroe. The Grant
movement waa a reflex of the brilliant
series of compliments paid to the ex-
Preaident in his foreign journeys; but
his grand tour of the world is about to
end, and the responding effervescence in
his own country dies with it. There will
oeno new mat.r Is for a similar enthu
siasm. General U.ant will return to his
native cjuutry wheat midsummer, and
quiet, undemonstrative citi
zen, ferdidden by his natural
reserve and bis self-rcspeot from para
ding himself before his own countrymen.
Tho newspapers will then have little oc
casion to mention him, and the sreat
ovation he has received in the Old World
will bo like the fading memory of a pleas
ant dream. Amid the crowding events
of this busy ago such things soon pass
out of the public mind; and when the
movements of General Grant cease to be
reported in the newspapers there will no
longer be anything to keep up the flag
ging popular interest. He will have
sunk into the obscurity of former ex-
Presidenta before the Bepublican Nation
al Convention assembles.
Thsreis a stronger reason wby General
Grant will be lets and less thought of as
a oandidate for tbe Presidenoy. The re
cent result in Ohio sets alibis competitors
free to push their olaims, and makes it
certain that he oan be nominated, if at
all, only after a vigorous contest. His
friends will have to fight for him in the
Convention like the friends of rival candi
dates. The necessity for auoh a fight will
take tnm quite out of tha canvass, unless
on the anbjsot. He has permitted"*!?
to be given out that be will never
again seek the Fresidenoy; that
it is doubtful whether he would accept
it under any circumstances; that if he
conld be induced and over-pereuaded to
accept a nomination at all it would be
only as tbe resnlt of the aniveraal and
united demand of tbe Republican party
thrusting the nomination upon him by
acclamation and overpowering his ex
pressed reluctance. By his repeated
declarations in this vein be has made it
impossible that he should again be a can
didate if any other part were left to him
than that of passively ' awaiting tho ac
tion of the Bepublican National Con
vention and deciding at last whether be
would aooept sn honor whioh had come
to him unsought. Having made these
conditions of acceptance General Grant
has pnt himself outside of the field of
choice from the moment it is seen that
rivals do not stand aside and permit him
to walk over tbe oourss. The result of
the Ohio Convention proves that he will
have rivals and that his nomination is
impossible without a strenona contest.
This pateat fact ends the Grant move
ment unless the General eats all his own
words and consents to take his chances
for another nordlnalion on Bn equal
footing with tbe other Republican candi
dates.
We shall sea wbat we shall sec. To
onr mind the epparent competition for
the nomination increases tho chances for
a concentration on Grant. If any oDe of
these competitors held an overshadowing
claim to the aommation he might get it.
But with all three at irreconcilable feud
with each other, and neither predomi
nant, Grant is the only practicable point
of coalescence. The plain English of
the situation is this: The whole party
believes it can elect Grant; bat it don’t
believe it can elect anybody else; and
this will secure Grant’s re-nomination
beyond reasonable donbt, as it seems
to ns.
As to keeping« sensation alive, the
ability of the Radicals in this line is dem
onstrated by their actual success in keep
ing up the war spirit and sectional hatred
wherever they have any influence. The
first thing in order after Grant lauds from
the Orient, will be to get pp the record of
his travels, which have already been
carefully transcribed and will be repro
duced in a gorgeous volume, plotorially
illustrated after the manner of Harper
and Scribner, printed by thousands and
vended all through the North And West
at low prices, by every traveling sales
man, peddler and politician.
This volume will be the wonder of the
children—their fathers, mothers, sisters,
consuls and aunt*. It will display him
rsoeiring the homage of all the poten
tates of Earope and the East, crowding
around him to lay their honors at his
feet. So far then from the “efferves
cence” of the tour dying out, this book
will chrystslize it into a permanent boom,
and the er-Presldent, provided he keep*
quiet and sober, may, like a farmer who
has all his crop in the ground, look out
of the window and see it grow.

The “Strikes” Folly.
As was foreseen, the ’longshoremen’s
strike here has been followed by similar
movements elsewhere. Thus, the Buffalo
’longshoremen, getting it into their heads
that they must strike too, if only to be In
the fashion have given notice that they
will quit work unless they get 20 cents sn
hour: hut there, as well as here, the notice
hts b3«n met by a flat refusal from their
employers. Tbe consequence is a de. d-lock
on the wharves; but as it i* a mere question
of time how long the strikers can live with
out labor, the chances are that it will spec-
dily co lapse. Like the reoent combination
of seamen engaged in lake navigation, they
are pompously talking meanwhile about the
“ rights of labor,” the tyranny of capital, and
all that; phrases wliton the public have
learner by th:B time to appraise at their real
value. Tne lake seamen finally were glad to
accept $1 63 per day, and tbe ’longshoremen
probably will come to the same way of think
ing before long. From Pittsburg comes in
telligence that the iron-workere have resolv

Insist upon as absolutely neoeeB&ry to en

foundries are dosed fora while, while the
former must go without bread. It they ad
here to their resolution, the old txoenenco
Will be repeated: a few weeks of enforced
Idleness, an indignation meeting or two,
widespread demoralization, and then a re
tom to employment on the bast terms they
can get. We might add to these a variety of
minor strikes nearer home, including the
bricklayers, the horseshotre, the railroad
bande, etc, as showing that there is zeme-
tbing of the old trades-union leavon still at
work among ns. The moreme -t however,
lacks its previous formi able proportions,
and there is ni probability that it will exiond
beyond its present limits. The great mass
of the wo rick g people have learned some
thing since tho ” uprising’’ of summer be
fore tost, and not to easily led as they used
to be by gentlemen ot elegant leisure, wuo
cnly pretend to be workingmen in order to
get an easy UveFhood by acting as presidents
secretaries and committeemen of trades*
union societies.
We commend the above, extracted
from that usually staunch commercial
journal, the New York Bulletin, to the
careful attention of the workingmen of
the country. The more intelligent of
this class know that tho exceeding low
prices of almost every .variety of manu
factured good?, the great scarcity of
money, the disturbing influence of foreign
wars, and the competition growing up
even in China, Japan, India and Aus
tralia, have resulted in immense losses
to the capitalists and proprietors of the
cotton mills, fonedries and other branobes
of manufactures all over the civilized
world. As a consequence, hundreds
have succumbed entirety, others work on
fq», very few, have re
alized a <»nr of profit Under euoh a
pressure it is manifest that the same
prices cannot be paid for labor as in
more prosperous times, and a spirit of
kindnees and mutual concession sbonld
actuate all interested. Tho proprietor
should consent to forego his luxuries and
be content with a bare living that he may
eke out the wages of his faithful em
ployes, and they, too, ought to reflect
that if the mill is forced to suspend,
then starvation is their doom.
With few and anomalous exceptions
tbe history of the labor strikes, both in
this country and Earope, is tamely uni
form. The result in almost every in
stance is the weakening of both parties
and a fearful increase of suffering to
those who labor from day to day to earn
their subsistence. Thanks to the supe
rior intelligence and good in’orals of the
operatives of the South, there have been
few collisions here, and our laboring
uasoes win jai vsiwa va urns <u tub
crowded manufacturing districts of Now
England or the old country.
This cne postulate, if it could only be
understood aright and acted on, would
save a world of trouble and perhaps
bloodshed. The interests of labor and
capital are simply,identical. The two
rise and flourish together, or decline and
fall simultaneously. Hence tbe most
cordial relations should exist between
them. If the capitalist, especially, can
be made to comprehend the force of this
fact, ho would strain every nerve to pro
mote the welfare of his employes. Surely
the salutary influence of competition
alone ought to enlighten bis eyes as to
the wisdem of such a course. And the
operative should also be reasonable and
not expect to receive wages which tbe es.
tablishment he conducts doeB not earn
and cannot therefore pay.
Varieties of Temperature.
Tho Herald reports the highest tem
perature on Sunday last in that city at
93. This was at 3:30 in the evening.
The average temperatnre during the day
was 85i and the average temperature of
the corresponding date IsBt year was
692, while the highest temperatnre
was 61.
Sund-v ia Macon showed an extreme
tempo* uro of about 92; but there has
been a heavy decline since that time.
Wednesday morning an bqur after sun
rise, the merenry indicated 58. The dry
weather and cool nights must be very
detrimental to cotton on s&ndy land.
In New York on Sunday there were
several cases of sunstroke. The Herald
of Monday devotes four columns to the
sufferings and enjoyments of the day. In
the city it was a day of sweltering, even
with the lightest summer clothing mi
nus the coat. Hot food was shunned and
ice in all forma in eager request, The
churches were not a quarter filled and
the streets deserted; but the rush for
rivsr and esesn retreats was heavy. Cen
tral Park in very warm weather is not
much affected.
An Eason Cobbioxed.—Eeoently the
remark was made in the Georgia Press,
when commenting upon the insinuation
of a contemporary that in no event would
Mr. Ed Cox ever ba allowed to go to the
penitentiary, that such a declaration re
flected “too harshly upon the Eceontive
and legislators of the State.”
A learned member of the bar baa since
reminded ns that under the present Con
stitution tho General Assembly has no
power to grant pardon?. He also ex
pressed his conviction that Governor Col
quitt would never interfere to obstruct
the ends of jaatioe. That is exactly our
opinion. If no additional evidence or
extennating circumstances transpire in
behalf of the nnfortnnate prisoner no
power on earth will induce Governor Col
quitt to release him. 16 will be remem
bered how he withstood every effort to
obtain a pardon for Kate Bothers. And
the Governor is right. . r
Oar reference to “legiaUters” was pre

eral Assembly. The new Constitution
very properly withheld that prerogative.

Tbe Juror’s Test Oath.
Yesterday Senator Bayard, from the
Judiciary Committee, reported a separate
bill for the repeal of sections 820 and 821
of the United States revised statutes,
which exaot from all jurors in the Fed-
oral courts an oath that they had neither
part nor sympathy in the so-called
rebellion. As the Radical caucus a few
days ago agreed that tbe aat ought to be
repealed, and as it has, in fact, been re
pealed already and got back into the form
of law only by an alleged hlander of the
compiler of the statutes, possibly Hayes
will let tbe bill through his veto gate.
But that depends on whether -the Stal
warts hold to their present mind.
Ths Chalybeate Spbisqs of Meei-

and attractions. As the reader, however,
ever immersed in the engrossing Cites of

written, with the opening season we
again put in a word in behalf of this fa
Voted spot.
Strange to say, albeit in a lower lati
tude than Macon, that is a region of
lofty hills,parting streams, beetling crags
and romantic scenery. The visitor gaz°s

the lowlands and the malarial districts of

traordinary. It acta like a perfect tonic.

United State* Certificate*.
The sale ot the United States four per
cent, refunding certificates has been
stopped at tbe post-office for the want of
the certificates. ■ -
The government has disposed of its
supply of the certificates to the Syndicate
and the offices which were designated as
United States depositories aro con-
sequetly cut off from receiving any
more of them from the government.
Sinoe the sale began in Macon $32,000
worth of them have been sold, and the
most of this amount has been bought by
persons desiring to make bona fide invest*
ments. This indicates that there is some
money still left in tbe country, and peo
ple are not so herd preseed^nt that a few
dollars can be laid aside occasionally for
a rainy day. The demand is as lively aB
ever for the certificates, and Mr. Seifert
estimates that if he oonld proonre them be
conld double bis sales. The surplus
change will now have to be put in tbe
baby Georgia bonds, which may be stilt
procured without trouble.

Yesterday afternoon about half past two
o’clock on tha clasaio boulevard known
as Bridge Row, a slight disturbance oc
curred. Mr. Dan Burgay was arrested
by Officer Clark on a charge of being
“drank and disorderly.”
Xu making the arrest the prisoner
showed fight, and resisted the offloer ia
a lively manner. Officer Clark, who hap
pened to be tho arresting officer, applied
hia club to Mr. Burgsy’s head, and he
then yielded to tha offioer. The blow
from the club caused the blood to flow
quite freely. A dray was procured and
the arresting officer, assisted by another
officer, carried the prisoner to the bar
racks. Last night he waa doing well at

TOE DEMOCRATIC ULTIMATUM.
Doubtless yju took It in yesterday morn
ing with your broiled chicken, iced milk and
• rawberries, so there is no need for me to
repeat It hare. There is, of course, much
talk about It, soma of whioh is regular flip,
doodle. That goes without saying Bat so
far as I can learn, the general Democratic
idea seems to be that the nlomstum is a
judgmatical one and will do to goto the
oountry on. It is understood there will be
substantial unity in the patty on the pro
gramme. though I am sure there are at least
flf,eeu Democrats who wilt insist, in any
event, upon passing the a- p opristion bill,
before adj corning It seems to me. howev
er, that there should not be any difficult,
about those bills now. The Democratic pro
gramme is to appropriate the necessary
money, but for Uoritress to ssy. as it hsa
the undoubted right to do, that none of it
shtll be used to transpor. soldiers to or from
the polls preceding or subsequent to an elec
tion, or to pay solarise or expense* of Fe te
rol Deputy Marshals or supervisors at the
polls Congress has the undoubted right to
do this, and as to the taunt hat is “ backing
down ” it strikes me as very sensible back
ing down It is ail the Democrats can do,
lacking the necessary two-.hirds to kill
veto.
It is repotted that Representatives Bam
Cox, Olymer and Senator Eaton mounted
very toplofileal steeds on the subject of
troops at-the polls, and with one accord
swore they would never consent td vote aoy

supposed .o ho d its fate in hie hands. He
douDtleee favors it, but there re an impres
sion that he fears its passage will make votes
for the democrats out West, and he is too
much of a partisan to ba willing to risk that.
He was quoted this morning ia a street car
by a Michigan member of (he House as say
ing that ho did rot think tha bit would pass
this session. I doubt, however, whether the
bin can be mads a party measure. £ know
some Democratic Senators from the South
who, unless they onaa,e their mjnds, will not
vote for it, and it Ferry does not support it,
where, outside of Jones, of NeVa.a, is it to
find friends on that side of the Senate ? The
Ohio Democrats, or as least some of them,
say its passage will be worih 2(1,000 votes to
them in October, but then they ore not es
pecially good at figures. From John Thomp-

As hundreds of your readers are con
nected with- the history of these compa
nies by many eaored ties, I giva here
with a short sketch of them received
from sutviving members, who Were with
them ia “those times that tiled men’s
souls.” and followed their heroic com
mands npon the plains of Shiloh, Corinth,
Murfreesboro, Gettysburg, Richmond,
Manassas, and fought with them upon a
boat of fields of carnage—fighting fOr a
cause, though lest, was born of sacred
purpose and was defended by their life’s
blood:
COMPANY A — BAHNESVILLE BLUZS,
This company was organized at Barnes
ville in 18G1, in April, and was com
manded firet by Captain G. M. McDow-
rll, now a resident physician of Barnea-
viile. It was mustered into seivice at
Big Shanty, Ga., Jane 23,- 1861, and
formed part of the Third.Battalion, com
manded by Col. M. A. Stovall, of An-
«uata. It served daring the entire war
in tbe Western army and surrendered in
North Carolina, under General Joseph E.
Johnston. But twenty-three men sur
vived out of about one hundred aad
thirty members. Adjutant J. T. Hunt,
of tbe present battalion,is the only meu£
ber of the company who fonght in the

The company was badly cut up during
the war, and only about fifteen or twenty
survived out of about 125 men.. Captain
Doyal was succeeded by Captain Dupree,
who died m the service. Captain D. wan

At the expiration of this time they

Georgia State Fair 1879.
It 13 intended by the State Agricultu
ral Society that the annual fair for this
year shall be on a grander scale than
ever before, and that sufficient induce
ment shall be offered in the way of at
traction* for the drawing of a large crowd
to Maoon. The premium list is already
in the hands of the printers, J. W, Burke
&Co., and will be issued in a few days
to the number of five thousand, for gen
eral circulation in all sections having
business intercourse with Macon. This
is a publication that will be generally read
and reaching os it will all classes, offers
an EEiellent medium for advertising. Dry
goods men,' iron founders, cotton mer-
chanta, guano dealers, and in fact all
one. businesi men who have intercourse
with thecountry people, will do well to
represent fhsir houses in the Premium
List. It is printed under the auspices of
the Georgia Slate Agricultural Society,
has a guaranteed circulation of fine Am-
tand, and from new till the oloae of the
fair in October next, will be permanently
before the people. Mr. M. J. Divine ia
authorized to contract for advertisements,
from whom information can he had ns to
rotes, which-are lower this year than
ever before for similar publications. Dur
ing the reoent fair in Atlanta, nnder the
auspices of the North Georgia Agricul
tural Association, it is an established
fact that one dry goods house alcne
•old eighteen thousand dollars worth of
goods in a retail way, daring its contin
uance of one week, over and afcova tbe
business of any other week in the year.
So says the Constitution of Tneaday lost.
Tbe bcboai Appreprintiea-
Yesterday wo were in error in stating
that the appropriation of $15,700 was the
largest that had ever been made in Bibb
county sines the Inauguration of the
present system of pnblio schools. We
should, and intended to have stated that
it wus'the largest that bod been made in
the jpat throe years, and by tbe present
Boud of Commissioners. In the year
1873 an appropriation of $20,000 wo*
made by the Grand Jury, and in the fol
lowing year $25,000 was the amount set
aside for school purposes. In 1875 the
appropriation was $20,000, and in 1876
bat $10,000. The School Board hopes
to b* able to make the school session
nine Instead of eight months.
