aKisshljj IPetegcsplji $m& 3fm*m§tl $s Wl&&&2m*K+ 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. BY TELEGRAPH. HmnkfgiVIDE I'rucikiuation.

To pre vent this and to sustain the Sultan in his present choioeof ministers, may seem to require a counter military demonstration by Bu9sia.

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.

Richmond, Va., November 6.—The following is the Dispatch's nummary of | the retorts, neatly half of which are 1 uffioial. Tbe returns received np to (0- cight show that as to the debt question, he following may be relied on: Honse of Delegates — Conservative Debtpayers, elected, 41; white Republican Debtpay ere eleoted, 2; colored ditto, 3; certain but not heatd from; 1; total 47, with an equal chance tor 6 others. Senate—Con servative Debtpayers eleoted, 15; B3 pubiioan ditto; 3; Independtnt ditto, 1. :utal 19, with au equal chanoo fer 8 others. Oh the question of the orgauix ition of the House by the conservatives, it says t Among the conservative Beadj osterB there are not fewer than thirteen and probably fifteen who will go with their own party on oil issues except that of the McCut' loch btll whioh, with forty-one conserve' iive Debtpayers eleoted will give our party control of the House of Delegates. At the Beadjuetors’ headquarters it i? olaimed that enough is known to narrow the hopes of the Beadjusters on one side and the fears of the Funders on the other of a dear sweep. The Readjustee, how ever, etill maintain thst they have rweuty-three Senators ont of 40; and 56 Delegatee ont IOO . 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. Alxxandeb H. Stzpbbns.

In its aooouut of the acoi lentai shoot ing of a man by hie own spring gun, one o! onr exchanges says; "Wnen he found out he had fired the gun, he had the preeenoe of mind to turn his back and by this means save his life.’’ It strikes ns the better plan would bave been to turn aside, and have saved his back.

SiWBBiBt Herald: Drew Hoiiway, colored, was found guilty of the wilful murder of Benson Brown, colored, at Bullooh Superior Court, and was sen tenced to be hanged on the 19.h of De cember next.

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 gusta on the evening of the 8J, with President Charles C. Jones in the chair. The Treasurer reported $247.25 oolieoted in Augusta for the 4 Hood fond. Presi 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.

Whenever the above symptoms are found to exist, DR. C. McLANE’S VERMIFUGE will certainly effect a cure.

McLANE’S LIVER PILLS are not recommended a; a remedy “for all the ills that flesh is heir to,” but in affections of the liver, and in all Bilious Complaints, Dyspepsia and Sick Head ache, or diseases of that character, they stand without a rivaL AGUE AND FEVER. No better cathartic can be used prepar atory to, or after taking Quinine. As a simple purgative they are un equaled. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated.
