THE BiCOW AND BBVNIWI'K
ROAD.
Yesferdxy, in front of the coari house
occurred oue of the most interesting *nci
exciting episodes in the usually dry rou
tine of legal sales that has evor happened
in Macon. Toe tnagnituie of the inter
ests it etake, and their importance to the
people of Macon, attraotei quite a orowd
•to the spot. , J
The lease of the Maoon and Brunaw.cr
Bosd, which has been advertised for sale
for tho past forty-five days, was to have
been pat up at public outer; yesterday at
eleven o’elonk. A large party assem
bled at that honr, bnt tho announcement
was made that tno lease had been post
poned until one o'clock by the Governor.
At that hour the crowd again assembled,
only to learn that another postponement
until two o’clock bad been granted.
Tnese delays were allowed by the Gov
ernor at the solicitation of parties who
expected to bid for the road, bat who
bad not completed their arrangements.
At two o’clock tho sate w&3 opened.
Governor Colquitt and Attorney General
BJy were present, while assembled on
the steps and around the entrance of the
court-house were qnite a number of tho
first railroad men and railroad stookhol
ders of the State and spectators.
As the clock atrnok two, Hon. B N.
Ely, Attorney-Genetal of the State,
stepped forward and read the Act and
supplemental Act under which the sale
ot tho lease is authorized to be made.
When the Attorney-General finished
reading the Act of the Legislature, Mr.
Bipiey who was er gaged to cry the road
begun tbe call for bids.
Julius L. Brown, of Atlanta, said in
anbsianoe, I “ask the Governor to post
pone tni» leasing, and to re advertise tbe
read for lea.e forty-fire days from this
date, as provided tor by the law. My
reasons for asking that this be done, are
these: I represent a strong company and
am prepared with funds to comply with
the law, and any bid I make, I desire to
bid, bnt npon locking to the law and the
advertisement, I find that the advertise
ment and the law do not eorreapond.
Section two of the original law requires
that 'be Governor thdXl adverting the Ur mi
of the lease. JL'he law permits the person
leasing, to pnrohase the road, at any time
after tbe Atlanta division is commenced.
The advertisement requires the Atlanta
division to be built before enoh purchase
can be ma’e.
Tho advertisement ako has not
been made torty five da;B since the
amendatory cot wae approved which
was done October 14-h, 1879.
Owing therefore to the complications
that iuay ensue and to tbe magnitude of
the interest invo.vrd, involving as it
does one year’s rental, I a-k that the
leasing be postponed. These matters
have come to my notice so recently that 1
have not been ablo to consnlt my princi
pals, and if tho leasing goes on to-day
under this advertisement, I shall mate
no bid.
Immediately after Mr. Brown had
made tnis statement, Mr. EE. I Kimball
stopped forward and stated that he was
there lor tbe eatre purpose, representing
strong parlies, and was prepared to com
ply with tbe law in every respect and came
for tbe parposa of bidding, bnt for the
came icaucus as stated by Mr. Browo,
and for tho reaeon that the supplemental
act changed the original act in several
material points, and to which no refer
ence was made in the advertisement, he
requested tbe Governor to readvertise tho
loiito in a proper and legal manner. He
Stated that u was too much money to
S ut up where there was a shadow of
ouot, and therefore if tbe sale was pro
ceeded nub, that he should decline to
become a bidder.
The Governor in reply stated that he
deemed it bis duty to offer the property
for lease at this time. He did not think
tho discrepancies olaimed made very im
portant difference. Tbe parties interes
ted had been referred to the Erecntive
office tor fmther information if deeiied
The variations wero not each, in his
opinion, as woatd annul tbe lease, and so
tho property would accordingly be offer
ed.
Mr. Brown called attention to the date
of tbe approval of the supplemental aot,
that it had been approved only on the
14th of October.
Governor Oclqnitt—The time required
is forty-fire days from the original act.
Mr. Bipley aga.n called bids.
Judge J. J. Gresham inquired at to
tho liens and debtB now dne from the road
as lo what protection the holders of such
evidences of indebtedness would have.
Attorney General Ely—The Macon
and Brunswick road is the property of
tho State, and so the debta due by the
road are dne by the State.
Governor Colquitt—They will have tbe
remedy at law.
Judge Gresham renewed his interroga
tory, stating that even the right of way
the road had not baeu settled in a num
ber of places, aocTasked when tbe cor
poration was transferred what wonld be
come of these and other debts.
Tbe Attorney General slated the les
sees would not be disturbed.
Mr, J. C. Stantoo, of Chattanooga,
here stepped forward and said he had
come to bid fer the road, bnt wonld not
under the circumstances.
Judge Gresham read a paper which
stated that he represented a number of
gentlemen who were stockholders and di
rectors in the Central railroad, and others,
who expected to be bidders at tbe sale,
bnt that they as a company did not rep-
reaent the Central railroad or any other
railroad or express company. Judge
Gresham then asked if his bid would be
reoelved.
Governor Colquitt replied that the
forms of the lease are provided in the
Aot, and ho did not think he conld bid
for the road.
An answer was requested from tbe
Attorney-General, who replied by oiliDg
section tend the Act, stating that wbb
the law.
Judge Gresham—Well, I want to know
if my bid will be received ?
Attorney-General Ely—Oh, well every
man must be hia own judge: you have
read the law.
Judge Gresham—This is a lease with
tbe provisions of a sale. I am prepared
to bid a million and a half if the road is
sold. (Applause.)
Mr. Bipley—Do I hear a bid?
Judge Gresham—I bid $60,000.
Mr. Ripley dried the bid.
Mr. George H. Hazlehurst, of Bruns
wick, stated that he was prepared to
purchase the road, and to give security
that he knew wonld be acceptable to the
Governor, bnt be did not want to go into
the strife with the prospect cf a lawsuit.
Attorney-General—Don’t let that stand
in your way. I don’t think there will be
any difficulty about the title.
Mr. Haalehurat—Itis bad to commenoe
with a flaw in (ha titles. I am unwilling
too. to go in. I cannot and will not con
tend against tbe Central railroad. It has
more money then we.
Judge Gresham—This is sot the Cen
tral Boad bidding. He again read the
paper mentioned abovew
Dr. E. A. Flewellen stated that he rep
resented a company prepared to comply
with the requirements of tho act, and
raised the first bid one hundred dollars.
He also stated that bo was not a stock
holder of the Central Boad, This started
the bidding in earnest.
Mr. E. T. Paine, who represented what
was known among the posted ones as
the Stanton or Bceton party, bid $60 200.
The bidding ran along between tha three
until the eeventy-third bid, when Col- L
H. Whittle, of this city, came in, bidding
$63,000. Oa the eighty-first bid Dr
Flewellen raised the amoont and bid
$70,000 as the yearly rental required.
Some lively bidding was done from that
pout, until $80,000 was bid by Colonel
A. O. Baoon. Thit was a new Richmond
in the field, and ortated a slight sense
tion in tbe crowd.
Tbe amount steadily Increased, the
bidding beug watobed with the greatest
interest both by thoee taking pais and
, ''qokera on. The bidding narrewei
Mr E parties—Dr. Pk.wdka arid
grew, Dr. YtaVe.. The amount ate id ly
awe We adversely^**™’?/ to °* sr
* - *s bids, raising
ft,, -mount in some instance! five thous
and dollars at a time, and Mr. Paine
seeking to tire the Doctor out by advam
oiog the amount by ten dollar calls.
Bith gen’limen remained cool and ool
1 i'ted, Mr P.riue drawing oat a smill
P pri’kiturely fi ling it, and indulging in
a complacent smoke.
Toe excitement grew as $160000 and
$170,000 were cried. The hoar of olosiog
the salo approached; bnt five minutes
remained, and Mr. Bipley began to give
tbe customary phrases of warning. The
erowde pressed eagerly around Each bid
made by Dr. Flowellon was rais d ten
dollars by Mr. Paine, As $165,000 was
bid by the dootor, the hands of tbe clock
were about two seconds away rrom tbe
hour of font; at the first stroke of the
city clock bell, Mr, Piine bid $175,010;
between tbe first and second strokes, Dr.
Plewellen called oat $176,000 and aa_rhe
second sound or the olock bell was heard,
Mr. Paine raised it ten dollars. Mr. nip
ley knookiog the road down to Dr. Flew-
eiicn just on the instant of Mr. Paine’s
bid. The scene that followed was very
exciting. The crowd cheered Mr. Paine
and many rushed up the steps to ascer
tain tbe decision.
Mr. Paine announced that he had ob
taiaed the lease and expected to stand by
his rights, and took the names of qaite
a number of persons who were present.
In a few moments the announcement
was made by Mr. Bipley, that he was
authorized by tbe Governor to say that
owiog to the contagion and the rapidity
with which the last bids were made as
the olock was striking, lb was impossible
to deoide who was tho highses bidder et
the expiration of the legs! honr of sale,
and it was accordingly deolared that no
lease had been made. Another reason
for withdrawing the road and declaring
“no lease effected” was the objections
made in tbe boginning to the legality of
the advertisement.
ho question at what time a legal
r of sale closes was folly discussed
on the streets.
The attorneys seemed to agree that it
was anew question and generally declined
to oommit themselves. The Attorney
General was inclined to tbe belief that
tho first stroke of the clock terminated
the honr.
Both gentlemen claimed the lease. Do
ring the evening Governor Colquitt was
oailed on by eacb, and a tender of the
money required to be paid down made
in the presence of witnesses, and in each
instance declined.
Dr. Ftowellen, in a interview with a
reporter of this paper, last evening,
claimed that he was clearly entitled to
the award of the lease, as Mr. Paine bid
just after Mr. Bipley knocked tbo road
down to him. He maintained that he
had made a tender of the money to Gov
ernor Oolquitt. The idea of bidding so
high was that the road conld be bought.
That ho represented himself and asso
ciates, and no railroad company, and
bad -old his Central Bailroad stock to
qualify himself to bid on th9 Maoon and
Brunswick Road.
Mr. Paine olaimed that he had pur
chased the lease for $175,010; that ho
bid that as the clock was Milking the
first time; that ho was prepared to pay
tbe money and to comply with the re
quirements of the laws of tbe lease. He
also stated that the matter woald go to
the conrts, but in wbat direction or man
ner had not been determined upon.
From the best inform ition to be ob
tained there wer« five parties prepared
to bid on the road at tho sale yesterday:
a party made np of stockholders of the
Central railroad and others beaded by
Judge Gresham; tno Boston or StaDton
party, in whicD, wo are informed, some
German capitalists were also interest d, a
very s-rong company head
ed by Mr. Sianton and Mr Paine, a
party represented by Mr Julias !■«
.drown, supposed to bathe N.-.snville and
Onat.tanooge Bailroad Company; a party
of Hew Fork capitalists and otbms, rep
resented by Mr. George If. H zl-haror,
and another oompany ot N -110010 c»pi
tali-ts, beaded by Mr. H. L Kimball, of
wnich rx-Governor Ballook and H. B.
Plant, Eiq., of New York, are members.
A coalition la understood to have been
formed between tboSUnto ■ Kimball at-d
Brown companies. Ic is al-o rui r 'er.stoo3
that Judge Gr> gaam and Dr. Fleweltin
at the sale represented identical inttr-
sts.
■ The road will be ro» ivertised in a few
days, and in tbe n*xc advertisement the
difficulties which prevented toe Iea->e m
tbo present instance will be obviated.
Toe firs commissioners provided for
by the act will not be appointed until
there is a total failure to effect a leaee ot
the road. It is thought that a lease under
the preeect act will be difficult; the Gov
ernor, howover, think- n possible.

Lonbon,November 6.—The St. Peters
burg correspondent of the Daily New#,
after stating that the reported move
ment of the British fleet to the Gulf cf
Smyrna causae much embarrassment
there, proceeds as follows: "Tho people
say that if the Sultan removes Mabmouud
Nedim Pashs, Minister of the Interior,
and other ministers in consequence of
the menacing position of the Beacon-field
government, it will b3 a diplomats de
feat hard for Russia to endure. To pre
vent this and to sustain the Sultan in his
present choioeof ministers, may seem to
require a counter military demonstration
by Bu9sia. I beliove, however, that no
steps tbna far, bave been taken in tha;
direotion, and it will be tho business of
diplomacy to render such steps anneoes
i&ry.
The Novte Yremay says: Evidently
Lord Beaconfleld’s ministry aims either
at a peaceful change of the TarkiBh min
istry, whioh wonld praotiodlly plaoe the
Turkish oentml authority in Eogland’s
hands, or an open rupture threatening
Constantinople with serious danger. In
either ease the Qeiloa refers to change in
Lord Beaconfleld’s polioy, which recent'
ly professed to maintain the integrity
and independence of Tnrkey. It says
the British fleet in the Gulf of Smyrna
will open the eyes 0! Europe to the real
oiuse thereof, namely, the English im
placable hatred of Bussia, exhicited by
the British ministers at every conven
ient and inconvenient opportunity.
St. Pxtxbsbhbo, November 6.—The
Emperor has approved the decision of
the Council of Ministers o put the
provinces of Kalonga, Tonla and Biagan

officers in the municipalities and in the
courts of justice, with the exception of
Judges, is transferred to the Governor-
General.
London, November 6.—The Times, in
its financial artiole, says the Paris Bourse
is in a demoralized condition, and that
many speculative brokers have failed to
meet their engagements. An uneasy
feeling centres in two securities, viz:
shares of oredit mobilier and Basque Eu
ropean. Itis said that M. Sbilllpart,
who is largely interested in the former,
has sustained heavy losses in private and
other speculations.
London, November 6 —A Lob ’on cor

Tiie Adger failure.
The Charleston New and Cuorier says,
as already mentioned, Mossrs. James
Adger A Co., on the 1st inst., executed
an assignment for the benefit of their
creditors. From their statements it ap
pears chat their total indebtedness
amounted to $1,640,735 20, Of whioh
$182,926 10 only was secured.
By an arrangement whioh appears to
be most advantageous to tbe general
oreditora of the estate a large indebted
uses, doe for the most part to the imme
diate oonneotions of th9 bouse, has been
eliminated from this assignment, and
the estate thus relieved of one-half the
daims against it. It is dne to these
creditors to say that only on acoount of
their interest in the membem of the firm
were they willing to assume the risks
and mako the sacrifise involved in the
p an so adopted.
This leaves to be provided for, under
the assignment, $774,408 78 of debts.
These are of two classes: (1) Debts of
fiduciary character, amounting tq $389,-
296.85, and (2) business papers and debta
of like obaraoter, amounting to $385,-
111 92, and nnder the scheme of the CB'
signment they are to be paid in the order
named. The assignment embraces tha
whole of the real estate belonging to tbo
firm or tho individual members,
consisting of a large number of very
valuable pieces ot property, and is esti
mated to bs worth at least $400,000.
This, with a trifle exception, is entirely
unencumbered. The assignment also
covers personal property and assets
amounting to over $1,000,000. These
assets so assigned are to be used exclu
sively for the payments of the debts em
braced in tbe assignment, amounting to
8774,408.78. as above stated. It wonld
seem from this showing that the creditors,
under an economical management of the
estate, have a prospeot of recovering an
exceedingly handsome dividend, if they
do not recoverall that is owing to them.
Mr* Stephens on the Brown-ear-
rard Controversy. ' .
Mr. A. H. Stephens, who was tho chief
ot ooansel employed by the Colambui
prisoners, charged with the Ashburn mur
der, has, at the request of Governor
Brown, written a letter which corrobo
rates tbe statements of Mr. Wallaoe, Dr.
Lawton and others whioh have been giv
en to the public. We print the following
extract from tbe communication whioh
appears in the Conitviufion:
Ic was then that you entered intoastate-
ment of the faote touching your conneo-
tion with the piOBeoution in this case.
You commenced by saying that my re
membrance waa corrtot, and then went
on to give a history of your retainer by
General Meade and your subsequent
conduct under it. The impression upon
my mind of what you then said, as I
nowreosll it to memory, was saocinotly
bat substantially this. That you refused
to be retained by General Meade t)r
the prosecution, exoept on the express
condition that you were to have the en
tire,end unconditional control of the
»«—• l *“ r-iwenntipn was to be
dismissed as to any one of the aocuseu uu
your instance, if from the evidence yon
should not be satisfied ss to the guilt of
aoy one of them; and that none of them
snonld enffer the death penalty under
the sente&oe of the military court. In
ease tbe State should, before final oon-
viotion, adopt the proposed fourteenth
amendment to the cooelitation of the
United Butes, end thereby be relieved
from military rale, and be re-eitabliahed
with ail the f nnottone of civil government,
that they be tnrned over to the civil au
thorities. I understood you to Bay that
General Meade agreed to these termB.
There was nothing said in the conver
sation that made the impression upon my
mind that you undertook the oasa to
“java the prisoners’’ in the ordinary ao-
oeptauoe of these words, bat my impres
sion on what you said was that you wish
ed me to understand that yon undertook
it to save the innocent, if after the most
searebing and vigorous investigation for
the truth you should not be satisfied as
to the gnilt of any of them, and also
with the view and object of having tha
guilty (if after such investigation yon
should bo satisfied there were any ol
this Class) turned over to tbe civil au
thorities for trial and punishment, after
the State should be relieved of military
rule by the adoption of tbe proposed
fourteenth conititutiohal amendment.
In making this response to your letter,
whioh yon are at liberty to use as you
please, I do not wish to bo understood
as taking any part on the merits of the
controversy between you and Mri Gar
rard, tonobing your position as oounsel
tor the proseoutton in that case, or the
motives by whioh you were actuated in
the matter. This ie a point on whioh an
impartial and unprejudiced publio must
judge and decide now and hereafter.
I am now doiog nothing but what
deem an aot ot justice to you in untform
ity with the Scriptutai injunction : “A-
51.U would that men should do to you, d
ye also to them likewise.”
In oonclusion, I take occasion to say
in regard to tho killing ot Asbbsrn, that
no one could have looked upon the event
with more abhorrence than £ did; but in
mitigation ot tbo seeming atrocity of the
aot, and in justioe to the perpe
trators, I deem it my doty here
to aesert that after the most thorough in-
ve.tigston of the whole case made
neceeasry, from my connection with the
defease of the prisoners erroneously ac
cused, my settled oonviotion was aud is
that ns one of the party present at the
killing t-ad any Idea of enoh a result
when they set out on their ill-advised
mtsa'oa. Their object waa simply to
seize him, and to take him to the lower
parG of tbe city, and to give him a
coat of "tar atd feathers,” where they
bad the material prepared ready for
this intended stigma ot degradation.
But in this case as in thousands of
others the first wrong step proved
to bs the rueful one. Ashbnrn, on their
entrano? in tha house where he waa
found, fired upon them. It was then
that the leader of the orowd exclaimed,
shoot him, when ho fell mortally wounded
on ihe discharge of several pistols, fired
oncer .U;.i sucJUeu exoitement and unex
pected flish of passion. Hot one of them
porhip3 tv ru'd have gone forth upon
this entfrprive if they had hsi the
slig lost conception or apprehension of
its trxE’i'ni terminitioa.

And now Tom Alter ssya it is better
to be a “jonraalistio pall bearer than a

at whose obsequies be has officiated, and
we agree with him. Gabriel, 6ven though
he carried an Atlanta born, could never
restore circulation to one or Tom’s
corpses, nor one of Tom's corpses to cir
culation.
On* of the Auguefa papers suggests
that Whitehall street of Atlanta be
extended southward until it takes la th<«

with a bad graea from an editor who

In the Sumter Xqpublioan appears a
denial of the''sour apple tree song,” from
a “Gate City Guard.” We are accused
of misrepresenting this affair. In dismiss
ing this aubjeoS entirely, we will simply
repeat onr former statement that our au
thority was an extract from a Hartford
japer published in the Cenrtiiuiion, and
ihat the charge therein has never been
denied over the projper signature of any
one. Oar object in giving this matter
attention, has been to misrepresent no
ono, but simply to draw forth a square
denial of a statement which reflects npon
the entire State.
In its aooouut of the acoi lentai shoot

strikes ns the better plan would bave
been to turn aside, and have saved his

Thb Sparta Jihmaelite closes an excel

lows:
We do not want any ring politics in
Georgia. We fight Radicalism beoause
of its lings and corruptions; and we are
not going to approve in ont friends what
we condemn in our enemies. . That is tbe
sentiment of a large majority of the peo-
pte or Georgia, reasoning from Hancock
sentiment. Ihe people will see to this
matter in the nominations of next year,
we feel assured. . If they thonld,
tbe unity and honor of the par
ty in Georgia h Safe; in any other
event, we can make no guarantee. A
people who tamely submit to dicta
tion from tingsters are unworthy of free
dom. The people of Georgia are not
such a people, if we have not over esti
mated tho purity of their purpose, their
love of freedom, and their devotion to tbe
honor of their State. Too clannish'they
have been aud are; too seotional aa re
gards the different divisions of their State;
too oareless in the matter of looking into
the workings cf official life in their mids’;
but over and above all their fadings and
short comings, th«»» ehMnii with, them

Columbus* Timet: Saturday morning
one of the saddest accidents we have
been oalled on to ohroniole for a long
time, occurred at Biohland, Stewart
county. Major T. H. Meyers, a most es
timable gentleman and merchant, was
shot under the following circumstances:
Some time ego Major Meyers’ store was
bulglarixsd, and sines that time he hai
had a loaded gun set and so arranged in
the store that, should any one enter and
touch the string attached to the trigger,
it wonld shoot the intruder. Friday, after
the Major had gone home, his clerk, Mr.
Mabry fixed the guo, and looking the
door carried the key to him, telling him
that the gun wae all right. Saturday
morning about daylight, Major Meyere
went into the store, and not thinking
about the silent guard, pressed against
the string and the gnn fired, the entire
load entering bis back, inflieting au ex
tremely painfal, if not fatal wound. Dr.
T. W. Battle, of Lumpkin, was quickly
summoned and everything possible wae
done to alleviate bis sofforiogs. Tee gan
was charged with small shot,some fifteen
or twenty ot whioh have been taken from
the wound. He ilea at his home to a
very oritioal condition.
Thb Confederate survivors met in Au

The Treasurer reported $247.25 oolieoted

dent Jones in oloeing his eloquent eulogy
npon Hood, spoke as follows. We extract
from the Evening News:
Ia the oataiogae of warrkri who gave
their adherence to the Confederate came,
who shared tbe perils and the hardships
of camp and maroh and battle, who
o.heered the hearts of their fellows, in
cited them to glorious aotion, and shed
their blood in support of the flag whioh
they npheld and the principles they
avowed, few name* are more widely
known or more enthusiastically remem
bered than that of the soldier who fills
the new made grave in New Or
leans, la his last moments hia
thought* were of hi* companion* in
arms. Recollecting their fidelity and
affection—tested and experiienoed nn
der oiroumstanoea the most difficult—
and resting upon the Confederate tie
which death alone can sever, with his
latest breath be besought a transfer of
that vital attachment and solicitude from
himself to hia motherless ohildren. The
appeil ot the dying hero I* repeated by
his volocfal tomb, and the Confederate
heart, alive to the impulses and tradi
tions of the days that are gone, end
cheerfully responding to this solemn re
quest, regards these Infanta ae the words
of a people unable, it is true, to exeroise
the protecting privilege* of a lost nation
ality, yet kindling into life whenever pre
cious memoriae call tor loyalty to a hai*
lowed past and demand generous deeds
in the present.
