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* sion, which is nxw required by law to do eo; 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. Prof. Riley .will go South himself just as an opportunity for practical experiment 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. European News. Cotton again got np to 7} in Liverpool at 2 o*clock yeaterday with sales of twen ty thousand bales. .. The rivsr Po, in Italy, has overflowed its banks and is inflicting serious dam age. It is denied that Bismarck has de manded of Bremen and Hamburg the surrender of their privileges as free dties, and a merger into the German tariff system. Official reports from Cashmere say it is impossible to exaggerate the miseries resulting from the famine in Cashmere. 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 ed to quit work on Monday rather than sub mit to a redaction, which the manufacturers Insist upon as absolutely neoeeB&ry to en able them to hold their own in competition with the cities cf the East and West. Now, the ron-workera cannot fight the manufac turers, for the latter can live even if the 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 dicated upon the old law whioh did con fer the pardoning power upon the Gen eral Assembly. The new Constitution very properly withheld that prerogative. Wall Street is where money is made rapidly.

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- wxtheb County, Go.—List summer it was the writer’s good fortune to pass a few days at this delightful health reBort, and be improved the opportnnity to des- Ount at length upon its peculiar beauties and attractions. As the reader, however, ever immersed in the engrossing Cites of life, may have forgotten what was then 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 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. Arrcctcfi. 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 the barracks. ■•turned Ijast evening Rev.

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 money for the army unlee e Hayes would sign a bill prohibiting troops at (he pools. Oly mer said he hod lately talked with his con stituents and they were solid on that line, but Be Eg an, of Texas suggested that all dis- tricte were not good for the seven or eight thousand Democratic majority th&t old Berks olwaye gave a d that the refusal to feed and olothe the army would react disastrously in districts wheie the majority was does It was also initiated upon thst the issue of bay onets at tha polls had already been made by the Boaloals and thst it was distinct enough to give the party great advantage in the elec tions next year. I bear of no dissentients in tha caucus committee to tbe line finally adopted, aavo tbe three gentlemen named above. the BSPIC1IS List night about the hotels and comers where they were trying to capture all stray bretzss, were genera.iy unanimous in tho opinion that Rutherford, having Lis hand in, would sorely shoot off another veto if tho bills were seut to him in the shape indicated above But that might have been the effeot of the weather or too many trips to tha re frigerators inside the hotels.

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 canse.

At the expiration of this time they jotned (he 531 Georgia regiment, commanded at that* time by Colonel L. r. Doyal, and served faithfully to the end of the war. Their loss was great. There are now only twenty-one living, out of one hundred and tweuty-five, who entered service. The company reorgan iz'd in May, 1872. In the company now there are bnt three active members who served during the war. The oompany roll numbers forty-five men, rank and file.

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. Poems liy Charles A.
