2Iio Catholic Picnic.
Tho writer was one of five hundred de
lighted exocietonieta yeeterday to Adams’
Park... It was tbe_first time he bad vial-
ted that sjlfftn apofc einoe the day It waa
named and inaugurated as odo of tte
pleasure resorts of our oity, On that oc
casion noihisg was distingnitoabla save a
bubbling spring. In the midst of a denso
wood several hundred yards distant from
the railroad, where it had rif pled and
made muslo for nature’s warblers, ever
since the red man roamed through the
untrodden wilderness. Bat now how
changed tho scene.
Tho t&Dglsd andergtowth has fcll boon
removed ; broad and smooth walks invite
the pedestrian to explore the umbrageous
grounds, and a tasty oorered platform for
the devotees of Terpsichore, and refresh
ment stands, summer arbors, and other
houses for tbe convenience of tho pnblio
have been ereoted. The vigorous young
forest of oak, hickory, beech and dog
wood, interspersed with stately pines,
also grows apace, and with additional
thinning out, will soon cover the ground
With Us “vast contiguity of shade.’’
The site is well chosen, sloping from
the railroad into a picturesque
vale, and then rising abruptly
to a considerable eminence, near the
summit of whioh the principal Btruotnro
has been placed, where > the gay revel
lers congregate and “trip the light fan
tastic toe” to the mnsio of harp, tambo-
rice and violin. It is astonishing how
much has already b9en accomplished to
wards making this picnic retreat of Ma
con attractive and pleasant.
The party yesterday seemed to enjoy
themselves immensely, dropping all airs
and conventionalities,and entering keen
ly into the various amusements and
pastimes prepared for their entertain'
ment.
A multitude of nimble feet kept pace
to the call of the musicians, and come of
the dancers went at it with all their
might, seeming to improvise steps of
their Own. wxuw xeqatrea no lime IgfB-
ijr.
The younger folks patronized the
swings and played at various games,
while we noticed that the croquet
grounlsalso were always full.
The whole excursion was beldin check
and kept wjthin bounds by the good Fa
ther Bazin, the pastor of the Catholic
church, who seemed to enjoy everything
with the zest of a novice. The basket
dinner as a9Ual beat any regular spread
feast, as every provider sought to fill the
bill for himself and tho aggregate of
course was superb.
It was our good fortune to be tbe gnest
of Mrs. J. W. Adexhold, and it is neoes-
sary to say r- mure. Charles Lamb was
never regal d »l>b more delicious roast
pig than tU' prepared by this notable
house keep' r, and the surroundings in
the shape of bread, cake, do,, were
all of like quality.
The day passed off without any serious
disturbance, hilarity and good feeling
seeming to obtain universally. Only one
little breath of the peace are we tempted
to record,though tbe bleeding victim has
made no complaint. It'Was an assault
upon a pine tree by a stalwart country
man. He went for the monarch of tho
forest in fine style, making the bark fly
and bringing some tnrpentine to the sur
face. How bis knuckles fared is another
question . Of course a little “summat”
too much of the ardent furnishes tbe
requisite explanation. .
Colonel Adams, Captain Sharp, Captain
Boas and their several associates, deserve
great credit for the enterprise they have
evinced in opening np Adams’ parkas a
convenient and accessible pleasure resort
to the people of Maoon. We hope it will
be patronized liberally by an appreciative
public. May it be our good fortune
again to meet oar Gatholio friends on a
similar oooasion.
Tbe Pooling Question.
The Albany Neus quotes tho following
paragraph from a lato article in the T*l-
xobaph and Mkesknozb in relation to
the contemplated action of the General
Aseembly in reference to railroad freight^
and passenger fares:
“Our own opinion is that the least pos
sible legislation should be done in the
premises. Ir, however, well authenticated
instances of causeless discriminations and
oppression can be substantiated against
any of the iron highways of the common
wealth, then let the axe of wholesome
legislation be laid to the root of all each
grievances.
Bat onr esteemed contemporary adds:
What would oar Macon contemporary
suggest In the oaso of Albany? We are
tbe nearest inland cotton market to the
sea-ooait of Georgia; have three rati
roads: the Centra], A. & G. andB. & A;
the latter only 190 miles in length, and
yet Albany pays for tbe longest route on
allinooming and.outgoing freights. Is
this right? Is it just? If Albany was
privileged to nae the natural advantages
which belong to her she could pay moro
for ootton than any other town in Geor
gia, exoept Savannah.
This does seem hard. Bat woald it
not be worse if the active competition en
gendered by the doing away with the
pools resulted in the breaking down of
two of the above roads, and their absorp
tion and purchase by the more powerful
Central? Then they would really know
what a monopoly means. And it wonld
only be a question of time if the oonteat
lasted sufficiently long. Aa the matter
now stands only one of those highways is
making a dollar for ita owners even with
the rates that are pooled.
Oppressive pooling resulting in inordi
nate profits to the parties, is of course to
be strongly roprobated and even prohibi
ted by the Legislature. Bat we know
of no suoh compaol in existence
In the State. Oar railroads barely
vegetate, and their needy stockholders
in many instances have been without
inoomes for years, to the sore hardship
of hundreds of widows and orphans.
When legislation begins to intefere with
private enterprise and vested rights
whether of individuals or corporation,
there ia great danger of going too far,
and positive injury to all consented may
be the result. It is only sgainst unjust
local disoriminafiona that we would raise
our Toice and demand pro rata rates of
freight based upon tde distance from
either terminus of any railroad. This Is
manifestly just aid proper.- As stated,
however, on several previous occasions,
we do not advocate pooling when it
inures to the benefit of the rich and
works Injury to the needy consumer.
There Is a juste milieu to be observed
in the consideration of all these delicate
questions which should never be lost
sight of.

peath of Prince Napoleon.
The surprising annooncsstont Yester
day of the slaughter of yauSg''Prince
Napoleon by the Zulus of Bouth ^Africa,
produced a profound sensation over all
Christendom. In America, no doubt,
the feeling principally excited by it was
one of sympathy for his mother, the ex-
Empress Eugenie. It was a blow which
crushed not only a widowed mother’s
hope aud pride ia axr onljf ohild and a
gallant eon, hut at the same moment ex-
tingniahed political and dynastic
hopes and-expectatione. The sun of the
Napoleon dynasty sank with It forever.
No fooal point is-left around whioh the
French Imperialists can gather with any
hope of availing themselves of the gor
geous history and traditions of tho fami
ly. The Imperialists of France are with
ont a leader or an object. They are lost
and must scatter. Few of them will
probably go over to tbe Orleaniats or
the Bourbons. Taey will generally
merge with the Bepnblicane, and the
French monarchists of all shades will bo
comparatively enfeebled by this event.
The Napoleonic era in French history
aa an influential element in politics is
practically dosed. It will exist hereaf
ter only as a brilliant reminiscence of
what is called national glory.
In ecclesiastical as well aa political
aspects it will also produce an effect more
or less important. In abort, it ia an
event which will go to shape history, in
sensibly, in many ways. We say insensi
bly, because with the death of the heir
presumptive to the French empire, no
stand point is leftfrom which to reckon
the departure. All we can say is that
whatever of active political influence tbe
Napoleonic party and dynastic traditions
might have exercised on the fntnre of
France, is gone, and gone as we oonoeive
substantially to the benefit of the Bepub-
lican cause, which now has no formidable
foe in Franoe.
Under these circumstances it is proba
ble that French Bepublicamsm itself will
assume more coneerrative features. Zt
will bold itself leas amenable to tbe
blouses and feel with more confidence that
it embodies the only opportunity for se
cure and well-ordered government which

The Herald of Wednesday last scolds
the Bepnblican party in Congress to the
length of more than a column for their
audacious and insulting and contompt-
noue demeanor towards their opponents,
exemplifying by name Blaine and Conk-
ling—-the latter of whom most have giv
en a stronger illustration than usual of
overbearing and oontemptnons insult,
when he pitched into Lamar on Thurs
day last. The Herald charges that no
parallel to this reckless and bullying de
meanor was ever before presented—not
even by the Democrats in 1858-9. That
the party is in' its decadence, has become
thoroughly enervated and oorrnpted by
too long possession of power, and presents
a solid and audacious front against every
thing which looks to wholesome legisla
tion for tho legitimate interests of the
country. They are incapable of grasp
ing new questions, leading to new move
ments, or doing the necessary work of
the country; and surely it is not too
mnoh to say that before the people trust
the Bepnblican party with power again
they have a right to demand, and pru
dence requires that they should demand
the retirement of its present leaders in
Congress and the substitution of belter
men and a wiser and more national poi-

Tz-'oaAPH and Mxssxngxb are under
obligations to Hr. John E. Foole, the

to attend the inaugural ball of this popu

Jane 24th.
The affair promises to be reehcrelie and
brilliant, end doubtless will be a fitting
introduction to the festivities of the

Mr. B. W. Wreno, the lessee of the

The Grant aud Nutting Bond.
Messrs. Grant and Nutting have ad
dressed a memorial to the Legislature
for reliof from the forfeiture adjudged
agaiat them as securities on one'Ot the
official bonds of the late State Treasurer
Jones. This document states the case
so clearly that the equity of their petition
will scarcely be doubted. The jury in
the case substantially unites in the peti
tion. Tht>y stato (see document,) that if
the evidence ia tho case had not been
'tided ont bytcn-court, they-would have

The case, briefly stated, is this: Jones
was elected State Treasurer on. Saturday,
A. Bide into tbe Country.
On Friday afternoon the writer, by in
vitation, drove ont with a friend to the
farm of Mr. Whitesides beyond Gross
Keyes, and about five miles distant from
the city. The son shone brightly, bat the
temperature wah pleasant, and a sweet
breeze stirred the leaves and fanned our
obeeks as we traversed hill and dale, and
feasted onr eyes upon the green fields
and springing corn. The crops were
looking even better than we bad nxpooted

gizing influence of guano and
good cultivation, had stretohed

11th January, 1873; and tho earns day''Averaged from a foot, to kneo high, and
Angler, the incumbent, closed the Treas
urer’s office and refused to do another of
ficial act. Thie produced an embarrass
ing block. The Governor sent for Jones
and begged him to arrange his official
bond forthwith. The law allowed him
thirty days io which to do it, aid as
thoso who had agreed to become his se
curities lived at a distance, immediate
execution of the bond was impossible.
A temporary bond was suggested, and
as Grant was an old acquaintance and
school mate of Jones, the latter made ap
plication to Grant to go on thie tempo
rary bond. Grant agreed to share tbe
responsibility if Nailing, then u member
of the Legislature, would beoomo a co
signer; and thne the temporary bond
was exeonted on Monday and delivered
and accepted as such bond.
The permanent official bond was execu
ted and accepted* fourteen days atter-
warda as snob permanent bond. These
facts axe not denied and are ansoeptible
of proof indisputable. Indeed, the very
execution and aoceptanoe of a aeoond
bond, both approved by the same Gov-
ernor, where only one bond wss re
quired by iaw, was morel proof of sub
stitution.
Now, we pity, in any case, the inno-
oent sufferer on a forfeited offieial bond.
He suffers for no fsnlt of his own—but he
must suffer. Fublio security demands it
But, in no just sense were Grant and
Nnttlng on tbe bond in this case. Their
liability terminated in fourteen days af
ter it had been incurred, and it seems to
ns this forfeitnre might, with equil jus
tice, be collected ont of any body else as
out of them.
It is pehaps unfortunately true that, if
they are not made to pay, the Stats must
lose money ; bat the State will prefer to
lose rather than colleot wrongf ally. As one
who has no possible interest in the matter
seemed to be fruiting finely. The corn
also, has not yet attained to that orucial
state in its growth when water is essen
tial to assure even u moderate yield. Bat
still, rainand pluvial visitations are need
ed right now to guarantee an average
prodnotion,
The growth of Indian corn ia very ehozt
and it requires fast work, and cannot be
neglected even for a few days without
detriment.
The faroa of Mr. Whitesides is perch
ed upon the summits of a series of lofty
hills, whish overlook the oity and afford
a magnificent perspective for many miles
beyond. In its altitude it might almost
be likened to an eagle's eyrie, and ought
certainly to be above all the river exhala
tions and miasmata below.
The soil, as you approach the premises,

The author is, himself, one of the most

The work is a gem beoause it combines

On the 11th day of January, 1873, a suit
waa brought by the Governor, in Fulton Su
perior Court, against Mr. Jonea and our
selves on the first bond, and, on the same
day in tbe same oonrt, a salt was brought
against Mr. Jones and his sureties on the
aeoond bond. The law required bat one
bond of the Treasurer. Here, with an in
terval ot only twelve days between their
dates, were two distinct bonds for the same
thing, signed by different sureties. This
singular state of affairs was rendered more
remarkable by the faot that, on the very day
of the exeeottan of theflrat bond, Mr. Jones
was, through his relatives, taking steps in
other parts of the State to make another
bond. The explanation will now appear.
Tbe suit against ns mi tried last month.
On the trial, when Mr. Jonea waa on the
stand M a witness, Judge Hopkins, one of
our attorneys, made this statement to the
court. We offer to prove by ths witness on
tbe stand, John Jones, that on the day ha
waa electedTreMure of thestate, January li,
I873„the Govenor sent for him and he went
to aee him; that the Govenor was very anx-
loos to have a bond given him, as Treasurer;
in order .hat he might take poeeeislon of the
treasurer at once, stating as a reason that
Dr. Angler bad closed his account* and refus
ed to do any more boric res for the Btate;
that Jones told him he oonld not exeoate his
official bond at that time became his suretiea
were not in the city and woald not arrive for
several day s: the Governor insisted, and nak
ed him if he oonld not make some tempo
rary arrangement and ran the treasury until
bis bondsmen gothere? Jones said that he
wonld try,and be did aucoeed in gettingGrant
and Nutting to agree to goon his bond tem
porary, and the three went to the Governor
and did sign and delivar this bond, and it
was done with this purpose and for this nae
■lone: and that on the 18th of that same
month a power of attorney was signed
by Benning and Boas ell empowering Wad
dell to algo their names to the bond; and on
the 18th another; power of attorney was
signed by the Joneses to Batt Jones to sign
their names; and on the 25th of Jan
uary it (the bond) was signed and giv
en to the Governor upon (he express under
standing thst it was the bond contemplated
u the perasnent bond when the first wss
made. We propose to prove by the witness
that he gave the bond with the eeoond i eura-
tlM to the Governor; stating at the time
that it wm the bond taking the place of tua
temporary bond; and'tost the Governor ac
cepted it upon thst statement already made.
We propose then to prove by John T. Grant
and O. A. Nutting that John Jonas, the
Treasurer, applied to them to goon a tempo
rary bond, to he held by the Governor for
the performance of duties, until a perma
nent bond oould be executed by John Jonea,
his nlafcvM and friends; and they want with
that understanding to toe executive office
and signed and delivered this bond, and
when they so signed and delivered it, they
so stated to toe Governor that it was tor tbe
temporary purpose end wss to bcoeme void
when the permanent bond should be
delivered and approved, and it waa aocepted
by the Governor.
WO tender this testimony. If it has not
Mretdy been stated by this witness, John
Jones, we propose to prove by him tost be
staled at the time, that his reason for not
riving G.&ut and Nutticg as permanent
boedtmen was, because they were both con
nected with banks, and he did not want it
aridhshsd put the tre.sury in any degree
nader the oontrol of the banks, ar.d ha , re
ferred to give bis relatives and friende—*S

The oonrt rales u follows :
I think if this wore a transaction between
private parties the law of contract and ao-
cord ana a rtaafsotion woald apply to it, and
if that accord and aatiefictiou occurred sub
sequent to tho Ouvenaut and before any
bre-cb ot the cunvenant. or complaint there
on, this evidence would be admitted to ex
plain tbe meaning aud intention of the par
ties ia accord and satisfaction, but not to
chaDge too writing.
I am of opinion that tho Governor has no
right to change this contract, or to receive
any thing in acord and eaiiefaction beyond
what the law allows. But I think that he
hu authority to relieve the sureties, and if
you can show that toe Governor knew that
these parties dorirod to be relieved, and he
did some act with that intention, you can do
bo; but it must l>3 some act auihocticatea
with proper solemnity; each aa an order to
th* effect upon the minutes of toeExecw

ing the impress of an official action. I rale
that the testimony sought from toe witness

By that ruling all toe testimony in support
of our plea* waa excluded. Our defense
did not go to, nor wss it passed upon, by
the j ary. This paper shows what too re
sult wonld have bean on that testimony if It
had been admitted:

We, the undersigned, member* of the jwy,
who tried toe ease of the Btate agatost John

and John T. Gant, sureties on his bond,
taae pleasure in stating that if the evidence
offered by them in our preseaoe >n regard to
the temporary obaracter of toe bond, and
the irenmstamoee under which the arid aur-
etire signed it, had not been ruled out -and
withdrawn from our consideration by the
ojurt, we would have found a verdict rc-
liev.Bg tbe said temporary sureties from
alt liability.
Wa farther state our.belief, the: In real
Justice and right toe arid a unties ought to
be relieved by toe Btate, and we trust thst
the Legislature, at the approaching session,

A verdict was rendered against us for
$92 500. It was not Maimed by toe Sta.e
that a default cocutred before too date .of
toe aeoond bond. -- ’
We do not bolteye that Mr. Jones over tat'
properly used tbe Btate’a money, bat toe
verdict fixes our 1 Ability, and as long as U
ehr.U stand, we will ba bound by it It ia
our purpose to ask the Legislature to re
lievo us from this verdie- We are taking
the case to toe Supreme .Court, but it will
not be determined by that Court until attar
toe present eeacion o> the Legislature will
have closed, i-hould the Supreme Court
affirm the jadgmeiu, before the Legislature
would meet again, we would be sold out by
the sheriff. ‘ * f<r " “ ' ^ "
We do not believe that the Legislature
will take from Us all we have, under such
ciroumatanoes. Aooordiog to the ruling of
the court, our testimony would have been
admitted tf this hod been a transaction be
tween private indiv-dusl*. If it be true
that toe law oxclad<.s our testimony, and we
a e not allowed to chow toe truth, we think
the Legislature will not permit suoh a piece
of cruel injustice to be lnfiioted on ua in toe
name of tbe Btate. We dealt with toe State
in good fri b. We gave * bond for one pur
pose, and it has been used for another and
entirely different one.
The State received it to be held as a valid
bond until Hr. Jones could get his perma
nent sureties to sign another. His prepara
tion for giving the aeoond bond waa not
tatennpted by toe giving of tbe first bond,
for, on toe day of toe date of that bond, he
prooured * power of attorney from a rela
tive to affix a signature to the seoond bond
The seoond bond was given; the State
acoepted it in performance of the agree
ment, and is now seeking in court to re
cover on it. It avails itself of the benefit
of the second bond, and is made to repu
diate the agreement by which it was ob-
tainod.
Should this verdict be enforoed, it will
take from us all we have. It might he of
no groat consequence to the genorri public,
that we were thus deprived, in Our old age,
of our property, but toe injury to the hon
or of the State woald be irreparable.

glad to see onr people waking np on the
snbjeot of water works. It has been •
•abject of astonishment to many that
etby have so iong been indifferent to this
egrat interest.
Augusta has taken a proper view of
this snbjeot. In a reoent visit to that
eityl was surprised to find suoh a beau
tiful stale of things existing. A oity of
manufactories and machine shops, ail by
tbe result of aoanal, with a water power,
without limit as far as we oonld see.
The oity owes its present prosperity to
this oanal. In conversation with a prom
inent citizen of August* he remarked:
“The canal cost Augusts a large amount
of money, bnt without this eansl Auguste
would be noihing. That is to say, all bri-
anee of whet we hsd would have been lost
bnt for the expenditure made in the
oanal.”
Having the canal with all its advanlS'
ges, the oity water works are easily man-
aged.
Let Maoon capital and enterprise get
the canal, then we wUl have an improved
state of things that will bring not only
extensive water works, but a larger pop
ulation and increased indestries, that will
pay for ihe water and pat Macon among

Kilpatrick Spring pioNle.
Five miles from this oity, yesterday, at
Kilpatriok’s Spring, a piemo was held
which was prononnoed by all who attend-
ed to be the picnic of the season. The
place is located in a delightful little glen,
embowered with thickly* set tall forest
trees, now of ooarse in full leaf and
shading the spot into pleasant coolness.
In the ravine ate are two boll springs,
the temperature of whose water is very
low. -Yesterday, tha weather was de,
lightful beneath these trees thronghout
tbe day, a gentle breeze finding its wsy
under the shadows of the trees and
keeping every thing cool.
Early in the morning the people com
menced gathering until several hundred
bad had reached the spot from the ad
joining country, and thirty or forty Has
conites joined in with thoie from Jonea
county. The picnic was gotten up by
Mr. William Kilpatrick, the owner ot
the groan'd*. He takes pride and pleas
ure in making these occasions enjoyable
to all and did all in his power yesterday
to make the time pass pleasantly.
A dancing platform, which had been
constructed, was called into requisition
eatly in the day, and not abandoned un
til the hour for breaking up. For ones
in Jane dancing was very pieaaant. A
oolored band from tho oity famished inn
ate, sed old familiar lane?, whose time
was perfeot and notes energetlo and clear
enoagh to suit all purposes, wearied not
in well doiog. Dinner wa3 on the basket
order, no general table being spread;
bnt for once the oity and county mingled
together in tho utmost fraternity.
So much was the picnic enjoyed that
another was determined npon, and next
Thnreday, four weeks, was sit apart as
the day when another wonld be held at
the same place. As soon as the repetition
of the festivities wae determined npon,
several carcaaers wero promptly contri
buted and all the generous people of
Jones Beemed anxious to contribute
something toward the general object.
The Maconites present were cordially in
vited toretnrn.
At tbe end of th9 lost dance, the ecu-
mittee announced that they had money
enongh left to treat tho crowd, and all
were invited np to partake of refresh
ment?.
The crowd was the most orderly that
haB ever assembled at the springs, which
is saying a great desk The only accident
reported happened to a young lady whose
ankie-was bruieed, hot not eeriouely, by
a rolling log on which a number had
been sitting.
We are indebted to Mr. J. A. Pugh for
