CL1SBY, JONES k REESE, PsoriaxTORS. Thh Family Journal.—Nxws—Politics—Literature—Aorioulture—Dokssti: GEORGIA TELEGRAPH BUILDING Established 1826. 3IAC02S*, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28,1879. Volume LIY—NO 48 WANTED. Details ol Harry J. Kyan’s In- ■urance and Other A'raasac- ttons. The following communication will ex plain itself and renders comment unnec essary: Editors Telegraph $ Messenger—It seems from a paraK r -pu m jour paper of yes terday that Mr H. J. Ryan has written yon a communication objecting to your notion of bis inenranoe operations in Southwest Georgia. If all that is oharged against Air. Ryan be true your remarks on tne eubj<os were very mild' and since he has challenged your state ment of the reports about him It is only fair to you atd to the public that full statement be made. Several weeks Bgo Mr. Ryan called at my office and in troducing himself as a refugee from Hompoir on account of yellow fever, in formed mo tnat he bad been in the insur ance bminesa there. As any resident ogent can be easily traced np through the insurance bins book. I asked him some questions about Li- dim. He informed mo tn»t the firm’s name was Harry J. Ryan & Co., his partner being a Mr. Hamilton of No. 39 Mardson street, Memphis. Tnat tney were not insuranoo agents proper, nut insurance brokers who took applications fur neks sad placed them with other companies having agen cies or officers in the city. He said be thought of doing the same business hero and asked me what I thought of the prospeot for snch business in this field. I told him that any risks be might obtain would have to to placed with companies legally author ized to do business in this S:ste, and as these are elresdy represented by looal agents I thonght oar people would prefer to deal directly witn agents known to them, but that, of course, -ny agent’ wonld allow him the usual commission on all acceptable risks he oonld obtain. He saw one or two other insurance men here, and finally announced to me that ho bad oonuiaded to iry t > work np some busi ness from Msoon as a centre, and would leave next day for Albany, Go. In the meantime I bad written to the General Agents of the Southern Department or the Continental Insurance Company, of New York, giving them Mr. Ryan’s name, and asking if they would arrange for him to solici: risks for them in the country upon his making suitable bond, etc. The General / gems replied, leaving me to act for them as I thought best, and at the same tfme saying that as a mnn of this name bad gone to Aiken, South Carolina, under similar circumstances, and bad been guilty of some xasoalitteB there, they desired me to write to an address they gave me at Aikin for farther infor mation. This I did at onoe, and received a prompt reply, -ayiug that a man calling hims. If, J. W .Ryan had established himself there in .he name way in the in surance business, and shortly after had produced a letter of credit for §5.000, on which bo obtained money for his draft on Batten, Ryau & Co., of Louisville, Ky. The draft was returned with the report that there was no Bash bouse as Bitten, Ryan k Co., in Louisville. In the mean time J. W. Ryan had left Aikm and soon after to tried "the same game in Sivan- nab, where he was prepared to draw on Milwaukee. Thia time he failed aedb.- ing caught was taken to Aiken, S. O., where be laid in jail throo months, es- ] coping fl-ial pnnivbmont for want of wit- nesaees from Louisville. A description of J. W. Ryan »aa sent to mo. Mr. H. J. then being absent I awaited his prom ised return. Ween I caw him cn his re turn he seemed to have plenty of money, and a traveling salesman from Macon, who mot him, says that Ryan claimed to have takes in a thousand dollars m the trip down the ro-d, but he (R ), reported (o me and to am t'-er insurance man rn Macau that he ‘had done nothing as yet.’ Being unable folly to identify theMr, Ryan before mo as the man described from Aiken, I wrote my correspondent there a minato description of Harry J. Ryan as he appeared in my cffice at that time. Promptly by return mail the re ply came back: “Yen have described the man I wrote you of exaotly.” Mr. R • an bad then left the city for Southwest Georgia again. I had consulted with Mr. George S. Obear about Mr. Ryan, as he bad also signified a desire to work for the Cotton States Life Insurance Company. He bad named a number of prominent men in Memphis as friends or acquaintances, among them Ben May, E-q, an ineuronoo man well known to botn Mr. Obrar and myself. Mr. O. wrote to Bin May, who, in hi3 reply states that ho never knew lul one man named Egan in connection xoitk the insu rance business, and bo gives him a m at unenviable reputation. He sajs this man called himself J. W. Ryan, be thinks, and he is cow wanted all through the country along the Mississippi river for ewiodling people by collecting por- miurna on insurance policies never deliv ered. This gentleman, Ben May, whom H. J, Ryan mentions as an acquaiatonca, writes Mr Obear to kuvo nothing to do with such a man claiming to have been connected wiih insurance in Memphis un less he wilt swear he never taw Ben May Soon after Mr. 11. J. Ryan’s second de parture from Macon, and immediately following the receipt of this last informa- "tion from Aiken and Memphis, a custo mer of S. T. Coleman & On., at Pelham, Ga,, writes to that house making inquiry about the firm of Harry J. Ryau & Co., claiming a location as insurance agents at Macon. Mr. Burden, of tho firm of S. T. Coleman & Co., applied to me and I gave him all the above information at once. It seems that Mr. Harry J. Ryan represented to tho merahant at Peiham that he bid insured the stock of S. T. Coleman & C.\, 8. Waxclbaum k Co, and Natsbaiim A Dannebsrg, and had on the strength cf this statement (cbtimed $75, as premium on policies to be deliver ed hereafter: Neither of the Mscon firms mentioned ever did any business with the man, and his statement is wholly false. For obtaining this money nnder false pretences the merchant at Pelham is anxions to interview Mr. Ryan with a warrant. How many similar cases there may be in Southwest Georgia I know not. Mr. Ryan has also drawn a number of drafts on Macon which were cashed elsewhere end of course not paid m Macon. Some of them were drawn on a citizen of Maccn with whom ho bar no connection and who owc3 him nothing. Others were drawn on Harry 3. Ryan & Co.—a firm that has no existenoe in Mscon uud no possible representative while Mr. By nn t« away, drawing drafts when he knows there is no one here to pay them. This is & statement of Mr. Harry J Ryan’s connection with in.urance busi ness ia Matos so far. He says to you that he will pay the protested drafts. Even if be does, can ho jnstify himself for drawing them? If Mr. Harry J. Ry:n has obtained any applications for insurance and premiums thereon, as ho claimed to have dene, I know ho has not placed any risks with companies authorized to do business in the State through agents here. If he has undertaken to place them in compa nies oat of the State he has laid himself liable to fine andimprisoemut ucdsr the insurance law cf the Sh'fi. If he ac cepts either horn of the diUmma his case is a bad one. I am not able to assert that Harry J. Ryan in Macon and J. W. Ryau in Aiken, S. O., and Memphis, Team, are the same individual, bat I leavo others to form their own opinions from the above trae roaord of facts. I learn that Mr. Ryan was in Macon Saturday. If he will remain with na long enough we can easily get a compe tent witness on this point from Aiken, and, in tne meantime, his stay with us may bo made interesting by visits from some of his patrons in Southwest Georgia who deposited money with him in pay ment for cheap insurance policies to be delivered—when Mr. By an gelt them. Mr, R, may be an honorable man, but cer tainly appearances are against him, and I think I am only doing my duty to tho public in publishing these facts. Very respectfully, W. W. Causes.

Confi dence, they Buy, can never bo restored, and it iB only a question whether the re- suit shall be attained at ones or by slow and tedions warfare.”. Secretary Schntz says, with referenoe to the criticisms upon his department for alleged neglect of Agecit Meeker’s tele graphic appeal for relief, that this ap peal, although dated “White River Agen cy, September lOtb,” did not roach Raw lins until Saturday September 13ib, and Washington at C p. m. on that day, and that it was communioated by the Com missioner of Indian Affairs to the War Department Monday morning, September 15 in, whereupon orders wero immediate ly iesued for the movement of troops to White River Agenoy.

The correspondent of the Times at Simla says disturbances on the Assam froniisr and the murder of the British Deputy Commissioner fay Nuzjma Hag03 on the 14 .’a instant need causa lo anxiety as the NngabiU tribes are marauders whom the presence of the British troops will speedily reduce to submission.

The cerreepondent also says he had snch assurances as enabled nim to divert his statement touching England’s foreign policy of all reticence, and it can but be regarded here and in Berlin as tbe most efficient recognition of those assurances, aud calculated to wither the last hope of Russia to detaoh Eogland.from her nat- nral allies. Tbe New Interest Lav. It is unfortunate for the interests of the oonntry, that the average legislator has a perpetual itohmg to meddle with questions vitally affecting trade and oommerce, when aosordmg to long expe rience and the postulates of political economy, the least interference is the wisest policy. Amojg other erude notions which un happily are frequently crystalized into actual law, is the idea that the State pos sesses the power and right to control the rate of interest. But she osn no more do this with propriety than regnlate the p.'ice of hoi bps, oattle, cotton sheeting or any other mercancilo commodity. Money is also a commodity, ant. worth just what it will command in an open market. The farmer msy discover where he can effect a desirable purchase of land for cash, with almost tne certainty of paying for it the first year. Can he not afford then to pay as mach as twelve per cent, to seonre the investment, if money is so scarce that it cannot be had at a le-B rate ? And why punish the man whoacoomo* dates him? Aa well say that theplanter is guilty of nsnry if he sells his cotton above twelve cents, or any other fixed rat?, when we know that the staple since tbe war has fluctuated between six and forty cents per ponnd. Or that the peo ple of tho opnlent North shall pay eight per cent, when money there, upon proper security, can be borrowed at’from four to five pent, per annum, auch restric tions open a wide door to fraud, and never yet haa the ingenuity of man de vised a law of intereat that could not be encoessfully evaded. The impeoanioas money borrower will sanction and legal ize, any expedient that will enable him to secure the pecuniary relief that may bo indispensable to his credit and busi ness. Toe late law which has now b:en re pealed, probably came as near as was practicable to meeting the requirements of the public, and did the least possible miGOhief in the premises. Under its pro- vi=ioas, when no opeciiio contract was made, the rate allowed for interest was fixed at seven per oent. Bat the parties to any agreement had tho right, by mu tual oonsent, to charge as much as twelve per oent. but no more, on loans. No one oomplained of this, and under the operations of this statute tho whole country has prospered. To make this evident, we have only to go back a few years to the period when the farmer Bnd laborer oonld get no bank accommodation, bat were foroed to make their pnrohases from the merchant at his own prioes, giving as seourity,liens at first npon crop and stock, and then, when the homestead intervened, waiving the same, or miking a conditional bona file sale of his land to the dealer who forniBhed him with his needed supplies at the rate of at least fifty per oent. per annnm. Of coarse no people or oomnranity could survive nnder taxation like this, and tbe dire result was the wholesale ruin of thousands of farmers snd merchants alike, ard the general and deplorablo de moralization of public credit. Then fol lowed a period of great privation and suffering, during which onr agricultu rists were taught the wholesome lesson of retrenchment, and began for tbe first time to realize that they must raise their own provisions if they ever expected to be independent. About this time, too, the non-rusting oat seed was discovered, which has alcoi literally proven to bo tbe salvation o Southern Georgia. When, through the aid of this invaluable cereal, the farmers found they were beyond the reach of starvation, they then began to oast abon for some relief from the onerons orodil prices they had been forced to pay for al clothing and family supplies. The only remedy was throngh ths banks, and thither they resorted, and happily, by means of good sf.onrity and hypothecat ing a portion of tbeir cotton, succeeded iu getting tho assistance they wanted at twelve per cent, per annum. From that period we may date the rapid rise and recuperation of the agri cultural interests of the country, while to their orodit, be it spoken, having made their purchases at living margins, the farmers for the past two years, as a rale, have nobly faced and r ideemed their ob ligations. Bat tho aotion of the late Legislature in arbitrarily fixing the rate of .interest at 3 per oentam per annum under penalty of forfeiting all usufruct whatever, which the farmers of that body doubtless thought would inure vastly to the bene fit of their brethren, is likely to prove in tho highest degree disastrous to them. This is npon the assumption that they will need a ny money at all. Perhaps tho peoplu’a representatives thought tbe farmer has no use for any help onteide of the products of his plantation, and it was not expedient and wholesome that he should have it. And we aro freo to con fess that, if he can get along without pe cuniary advances so muoh the bettor. But is it possible ? To be more explicit, we have taken the pains to communicate with every bank president in Macon, and they all affirm that their mini- mom expenses foot up 7} per cent, per annum,over/our cent, of which is in the form of nak>"i n "H absolute taxa tion. Tho remainder, whiou some eci*- svate as bigb as 3} per cent, is for sala ries ot employes, fuel, lights, insurance, etc. They eay, therefore, they will be forced from necessity, greatly, to cnrtail their operations and limit them to gilt edge securities at short datea which planters cannot afford to pay. Thero is quite a flatter among our merchants at this time, and the gravest apprehensions are entertained 83 to the ultimate effect of thia law npon the entire community. We call attention to the proposed con vention of bankers which fa invited to assemble in this city on the 29th inst. The opinion has even been expressed that the Governor would be justified in calling an extra session or tho Legisla ture,to consider thia momentous question which was passed at the very heel of the session. The old saying, opposition is thp life of business, has not been sustained in one instance. Since tho introduction of Dr. Bali’s Cough Syiup all other cough rem edies hnve been dead stock and the vend- ois are in despair. It has been prominently snggeBted that the bnsiness portion of tho city be flln-4 minated on Wednesday evenirg of next week, in honor of the unveiling of tbe Confederate monument. The monument will certainly be illuminated by means of a number ef powerful looomotive rtflsc- tors plaoed in appropriate positions, and the effeot will be very fine. The idea of the illumination has taken well, and pre parations will be made at once for car rying ont the suggestion. The^snpply of Chinese lanterns will be abundant in the oity, and where they aro not used many tapers will be employed. It is hoped, the scene will be made as brilliant as day. A little spirit and enthusiasm will make the illumination a great success, and it will form a fitting close to the scenes of the eventful day. TliJE GEORGIA PUES8.

Boyoe, carpenters, were engaged in pat ting a large sliding door of a warehouse on River street, opposite the Baltimore steamship wharf, on its track. It toppled over and crashed Mr. Crotty nnder it, pressing him down until hisfaos touohed his breast. Mr. Boyoe, who jnst escaped being caught under the doer; called as sist >nce and qnickly relieved his com panion from his position, when it fonnd that Crotty was badly hurt. He was at once taken to his boarding house and Dr. Thomas called, who pronounced his in juries very serious, aud it was feared that his spine was broken, Lau night, however, the injured man was much bet ter, and it ia now hoped that he will re* oover . Fboic the same paper we clip the fol* lowing: Horrible Cruelty—Yesterday morn ing Constable Henry Wetberhorn, who is also an officer for the Loniae King Asso ciation for Prevention of Cruelty to Ani mals, arrested a negro boy who was dri ving a male attaohed to a cart heavily loaded with wood. The poor animal was in intense suffering, snd was scarcely able to get along on account of a horri bly diseased hina leg. The boy gave his name as William Stokes, and stated that the animal belonged to a man named Campbell. He was plaosd under bonds, and we learn that it is intended to prose cute the case vigorously. Quitman Reporter i Blocker, editor of tho Fort Gaines Department of the Early County News, desires the County Court of Clav county abolished, and “Icb&bod” written over its portals.

Atlanta Dispatch: Yesterday Comp troller Wright appointed Dr. King, of Athens, del k of the Iasurance ’ Depart ment, vica Mr. J. M. Goldsmith, re signed, sad Mr. Wm. Haralson, of Union county, wild land clerk, vica Dr. Bell. Dr.' K-ng has recently moved to Atlanta. He is the father of Mrs. Henry W. Grady, and a gentleman well qualified with ability and integrity to manage the intricate details of the bnsiness. The appointment is a good one. Wo are glad to welcome the doctor to Atlanta. Mr. William Haralson is quite a young mau, and is a brother of Frank Haral son, the Librarian. In him Mr. Wright will find an honest and reliable man. It a responsiLVe posi tion, and pnt in charge of a_ department about whioh much complaint has been made. Ho is equal to the occasion, how ever, and our word for it, everything will go right. Under the new military bill the Gov ernor was required to appoint one of the clerks in the effise Adjutant Gener&L No appropriation was made for tho oam- pensatioa of the officer, thereforo it bed to be made from some one drawing a sal ary. It wa3 in tho nature of adding more duties to tbe olerioal force. The Governor designated Major John B. Baird to be that officer. It was a good appoint ment. Major Baird haB, for the last three years, been attending to the mili tary department withont compensation. It is as little as he deserves to have the honor of the titlo. Ho is very muoh in terested in keeping np tbe military spirit, and now that he is Adjutant General of the State we hope for a revival of inter est. Thomasvillb Times: The Macon Tel- xgkaph says that Thomasville is “get ting to be a popular winter resor.” Not getting to be, gentlemen; it is al ready the moat popular winter resort in the State.

Object ot Fairs—Oar Kinfolks. RX X I. E. The tuccnlent plum hae perished; ths dark skinned huckleberry ia no more; the bloom has faded from the peaoh, and the deceptive watermelon now comes np as a gourd; the tender blaskbeny, that delicate bressl pin at the throat of Bummer, haa long since been broken, and tho fragments pteaerve3, and Autumn with its bard headed hickory nut is upon us. The question now is, what have wo left ns worth living foi? Sugar cane we have as a matter of coarse, bat one gets weak in the jaw after chawiog on it for a day or so—as the means of passing a pleas ant hour, oane oannot be excelled, bnt as *n com pat ion for the Fall months, it is over rated. Nature having failed ns, we torn to man for relief, and man comes promptly to tbe reseno with the Fair, and relieves os. No man need feel ashamed to attend the fairs; they are ancient and honorable institu tion-; tha first one of which we have any rec ord was held in the garden ef Hden some where about tbe year one, and was a success in point of exhibits, though not as largely attended as ccnld hive bean desired. It was inn principally by Adam, and was a credit to bis untiring energy and genius. One re verts to those old days almost with affection. What a touching sight it must have been to have seen poor old Adam with his spiketail, frost bitten fig leaves, wandering around the land, putting up his placards, aud doing all in his power to build no his county; donbtleea tbe old fellow most have laid down many a time to sleep, with only tbe starry heavens and that IU conditioned claw ham mer to shield him from the dews, yet with al, happy in tho consciousness of duty well performed. We can almost see him now at work. He has in bis left hand a took which be is pressing against a placard far np the side of a tree, while he hammers away with a stone, every now and then reaching down to ad j net iris ooat tail, which are rasping the baok of cis knees fearfully, with the rough side of the leaves; he frowns and sweats, and cusses a little perhaps as he hammers his thumb, for he is human like the balance of ns, but he is successful and we behold the gilt letters that proclaim ■— GRAND WOBLD’8 FAIR. SIX DAYS ONLY. Races, bow and arrow contests. Pedestrian (go as you plesse) contests, eta, etc. Write to Coin for premium list. Poor old Adam, what a time he must have had, to be sore miking special rates with tbe railroads, staving off applicsnts for deed head tiokets, and nominating committees on whom he oonld rely for a premium on his An gora goals and blooded stock. And there was old mother Eve pirating about tbe neighborhood up to her cars in wotk, and bent on securing all the premi um* on cookery. How vividly tbe old lady rises to mind, bending over ihe bread tray with her bands in the dough making np her prize biscuit, kiokiog the oat away from her preserves, and yelling to dear little Ab-l to “driro them rhinccBrasses, Masttrdons, and Ichthysaaru-ses oaten the ’caters ” Tbe beads of sweat stand out on her forehead too, for her reputation ia at stake. It mikes no difference that old Adam’s collar has been pinned on tor a week, or ibat Abel is going aronnd with his pants trailing in ths dost bscause bis suspenders bars nothing to connect with, or that Cain, her pet, has not had tbe pcnilicoon his accustomed boil re new din nine daye; it is a small matter compared to those nickel plated premiums and her Jeopardizad reputation in biscuit. Poor old Eve, how willingly we excuse her when wa real:z3 how universal is now her pas'ion. Than the grand fair day, when sU was oomplete; old Adam smilingly watching at the g:te, Abel with one eye skinned for counterfeits, raking in the half dollars, and Cain, weating beneath a gorgeous ccokaae, r ribbon bearing the legend, “Executive CJom mittce,” rushing about exoitodiy over the grounds, and getting in ©Yerybodja W*y, and last of a’J dear old Eva, with her straw bonnet on, wandering through the Domes'.io Department, examining the rival productions with a contemptuous sniff, and bringing he. own up for tho committee to exsmmer Bands playing, children laughing, happy fa ces, happy hearts, and the speeding hours brushing the rust off of every day life with golden wings. . yes, tha fair is an old institution, and a good sne especially for tho fall month]. It is proper that every production ot nature should occasionally come t’gather, from the “lords of creation,” down to the o herbeet in the garden; we were all made by one hand, and we are all kin, men, women, dogs, vege tables, vermin, fliwers, chinches, and toad stools. Wo have seen men so like a oabbsg9 fonnd as to create conluuon, and others so doggish, it was amusing; we have seen chil dren make pigs of tbemseivss, and young ladies in gaudy colors, strutting around for all the world like peacocks ;there ia a fellow we have in mind now, oallicg himself Lemur Sentinel, whose ears, taken in prjfile, would pass him eff for a donkey, and another iu Okalona Who lios with hi* eyes turned up, just like a potato seed. Y»t we despise noth ing in nature. She made us all; as wo put cur thumb on the flsa we eay, we are not ashamed of yon, kinsman, wo admire your ac tivity, but for comfort sake, must chsok the toe lavish display of your affection; though the jokes whiob make us smile would per haps bring tears to tbe eyes of tno frog, and though tae crckroaobes twilight strniting, both pleasant and instructive to him, seal a chill down our Bplnal lolurnu, we do not ab jure them entirely; wo olaas them among our poor rotations, and let them do as well as they can. It strikes ns that this ronnion of all tho parts, i« the prime object of fairs; it is good’ occupation for the lall months to mest to gether, and it helps the helper moro than he helps the fair. Let’s all coso together at least once a year, gontlemen, and coll the roll; it will do ns good to meo: some ot our kin and have the conceit taken ont of us. And while yon are coming, if you hwe any rela tions at hemo among tha animal or vegeta ble kingdom that wants to corns also, assist him, then we entreat yon. A Great Zouzno. According to the New York Herald, a few wealthy poisons of that city have quietly or- ganiZida conservatory ind zoological gar den company, with a capital of $2,000,000, and have not only succeeded in raising si re, dy two-thirds of ’he capital, bnt have secured SO acres of ground, at a o;st of $100,000, for tho purpose, and have expend ed $10,000 in surveys and pro'iminary obliges.

Dr. Tntt, of New fork, Who is the proprietor of Tail’s Liver Pills, unlike most of those who come .be fore the pablio in this light, is not an empirto but a physician of long praotice and high standing in bis profession. He was for many years a professor in a well- known medioal college, and also the prin cipal of the largest drag establishment iu the South. These facts indioats thor ough medical knowledge, wida profes sional experience and chemical ekill. The country is so full of quack defrauding the public with worthless nostrums, that it gives us pleasure to notice the advent of a skilful and scientific physician into (bis field. Dr. Tatt’s Pills, we believe to be the best specific yet offered to the pnblic. They have all the heroic virtues of calo mel without any of ihe evil influences of hat material. It is especially in the Sonth and West, where malarial diseases are common, that the reputation of these Pills is most widely acknowledged. Io theso sectiaidi many physicians discard the prejndioe of the profession against proprietary medicines, and use Tutt’s Pills in their praotioe. Ones they gain an admission into a household, they keep a firm hold and are tasked aa as & stan dard medicine. OI> DCS AMD BINDS. The Massachusetts people present the G. V. G?. with horse shoes.
