THE FKEED3IEVS BANK.
Prospects or the Passage or the O’
Connor Bill.
Many of the colored people of Macon
are interested in the bill recently intro
duced in Congress by Hon. M. P. O’Con
nor, Democratic Congressman from the
Charleston, South Carolina District, for
the reimbursement of the colored people
who lost by the Freedman’s Bank swindle.
The bank was organized and operated by
Bepublicans, but it remains to a Demo
crat to take active steps for the relief of
the darkies. We take the following let
ters from the Savannah Neu>», and they
will be read with interest by all who had
deposits in the bank at the time of-its
suspension. The writer, Abraham
Burke, is a well known and respectable
colored man of Savannah:

lion. M. P. O'Connor, If. C., Wash■
ington,!). C.: Dear Sir—Having no
ticed in the proceedings of Congress your
humane and excellent bill for the govern
ment to assume the liabilities of the Freed
man’s Bank, I take the liberty of writing
and asking you to be so kind as to inform
me what chance has the bill to become a
law. Hundreds, nay, thousands of col
ored men, of whom I am one, throughout
tills city and State, have hailed with de
light your action, and thank the great God
that he has raised np for us a friend in
you, who knows what the colored man
has suffered, and who will protect them
as far as lays in his power to do. Your
name will ever be known and honored
amongst us, and the prayers of grateful
thousands will ascend to heaven for the
welfare of yourself and family. I hope
you will excuse the liberty I have taken
in writing to you, but I was told by Judge
D. A. O’Bryne, of tills city, that he was
sure, from your kindness and nobleness cf
character, that you would not hesitate to
reply to me, although I am hut an hum
ble colored man. Please let me know if
there is any possibility of your bill pass
ing this session. Will you please also to
jive me any information relative to the
bank that will be of benefit to my people.
I have the honor to be, very* respect
fully, your obedient servant,
Abraham Burke.
To this letter the distinguished Demo
cratic Congressman returned the following
prompt reply, which will be of great in
terest to our colored population generally,
and will show them what efforts are being
made in their behalf by a Democratic
Congressman:
House ok Representatives,
Washington, January 25,1880.
Abraham Burke, Savannah, Georgia:
Your letter has been received, and in an
swer I have to say that I am doing all I
can to advance the cause of the swindled
freedmen of the South. The bill is now
in charge of a sub-committee from the
“Ways and Means,” and just as soon as
the chairman of this sub-committee, Mr.
Gibson, of Louisiana, lately elected Sena
tor, arrives in the “capitol,” I will have
the matter brought np for consideration.
I cannot foresee the action of Congress,
but with a cause such as the one in which
we are engaged, I cannot but hope for
favorable results before this Congress goes
out.
I remain, very respectfully, yours faith
fully, M. P. O’Connor.
The Pool.
At the meeting of the Southern Railroad
and Steamship Association in Atlanta,
which adjourned on Thursday evening,
the old officers were all re-elected and it
was decided to continue the office in Ma
con. This Intelligence will be learned
with pleasure by the many friends of the
gentlemen who occupy the official posi
tions of the Association and the employes
of the office.
Macon is admirably adapted for the
transaction of the business of the pool.
Every facility that could be obtained
elsewhere is here found and in the mat
ter of printing the reports of the transac
tions It has been found by actual experi
ence that the facilities are greater in Ma
con than in Atlanta or any other place yet
suggested for the location of the office. We
congratulate the gentlemen of the office on
the decision.
The meeting of the Association ad
journed on Thursday evening. Yester
day the Grand Committee remained over
in Atlanta to revise and equalize to
greater extent the rates of freights. There
will in some instances be reductions, and
in others slight advances. This meeting
has been an important one, and was very
largely attended by prominent railroad
men interested in the Association. .

The Vineville Crowing 1 .
We note with pleasure that the author
ities have put the upper crossing over the
Vineville branch in first-class order. The
ancient stumps, which have been such
obstacles in the roadway, have been re
moved. The work has been thoroughly
done. On account, however, of the
constant attrition of the water, repairs at
this place will hardly be permanent until
it is bridged. It is a very important av-
euue of trade, and certainly is worthy of
a bridge.
Serlons Ewm.
Yesterday Mrs. J. Cooner, of Houston
county, met witli quite a serious loss. She
had come to the city with a number of
bales of cotton, and after selli*'£r, ehc
started home by the usual road for Hous
ton county. *
Tlie money from the sale of tlie cotton
amounted to about three hundred dollars.
A halt was made at Mr. John Hull’s,
about nine miles from the city, and by
some means a basket, which contained
tlie pocket book in which the funds were
placed, was left on the side of the road,
where the halt was made previous to go
ing into Mr. Huffs. The loss was not
discovered until a number of miles had
been traveled, and then it was remem
bered exactly where the missing basket
had been left. On returning to the spot,
however, it was found that the basket had
vanished. It is supposed that some dar
key in passing saw it and appropriated it.
Mrs. Cooner is much distressed under her
loss. She is one of the best ladies of
Houston county. We hope’ she may be
successful in recovering her lost treas
ure.
Ofir the Track.
Last evening a slight accident occurred
near the carshed which seriously inter
fered with the incoming and outgoing
trains. The Macon and Augusta train
which backs into tlio shed, had arrived a
little behind schedule tune but had
backed in and discharged its passengers
and baggage. In going out from tlie de
pot, however, a loose switch caused a
change in the rails, and after
the entire train had passed
successfully over it tlie back
truck of the last passenger coach, instead
of remaining on the proper rails, was
switched off to another track, wrench
ing the truck badly and otherwise slight
ly injuring the car. The Central train,
and the Atlanta, and incoming and outgo
ing trains, were compelled to use the
track of the Southwestern, causing consid
erable confusion and inconvenience to
travelers. The damage will be repaired
by this morning. The cause of tlie acci
dent must have been on account oi the
switch not being properly locked.
Barmltcvali at the Synagogue.
One of the most interesting ceremonies
in tlie Jewish faith is the Barmilzmh or
Confirmation Service, and recognized by
all Israelites as the religious majority.
The rite takes place on the Sabbath fol
lowing the thirteenth birthday of the
males, and in tlie fourteenth year of the
females. The male confirmant reads in
Hebrew a section of the Pentateuch and
delivers an address—a valedictory to
youth and confession of faith. Tit# con
firmant of this morning is Henry Glass,
son of Mr. M. Glass, of Fort Valley. Dr.
Benson will conduct the services. Doors
open at ten o’clock and close at half past
ten. The public is invited.
Snppowd Murderer Arrested.
Yesterday officer Fennell arrested on
Fourth street a suspicious looking darkey
who answers to the description of a col
ored man who is charged and is wanted
for the offense of murder in Taylor
county. He was lodged in the barracks
and held for further intelligence. Parties
in Taylor county were telegraphed for
information by the Chief of Police but
up to a late hour last evening no answer
had been received. On hi«i“«>®“ " ere
found a pistol and $4.10 in money. He
gave as his name Heniy Wood. It is
supposed this name is an alias, and that
Geoige Walker is tlie correct name.
Attempted Robbery.
Night before last considerable excite
ment was caused on Jefferson street by
the attempt of two men to enter the house
of William Savage, a well known colored
barber of this city. Two separate at
tempts were made. The second time the
two men secreted themselves under the
front porch of the house to await an op
portunity to enter. They were discover
ed and the alarm given, when they left
precipitately. A crowd from the neigh
borhood soon congregated, and for a short
while excitement ran high.
The tenant of the house, who was not
at home at the time, announces that he
has eighteen buckshot ready for the next
visit of the two men.
Colonel Haskell, of South Carolina.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
I see in the press dispatches that there is
some trouble in Columbia, South Caroli
na, between General William W. Gary
and Colonel John C. Haskell. Of course
I do not know anything about, tlie partic-
ticles. The bond has enlisted more inter
est than anything else, and the tickets
have been very generally- distributed,
not only in Macon, but in neighboring
cities.
Last evening in the presence of the as
sembled crowd, the managers, Major W.
H. Ross, Mr. J. F. Hanson and Captain
T. L. Massenberg placed the numbers in
the wheel provided for the purpose; Mas
ter Ollie Hodges was blindfolded and after
the wheel had been revolved and the
tickets thoroughly mixed up, twenty-five
tickets were drawn out and read to the
audience by Major Ross. The interest be
came intense as each number was read
and each holder present rapidly ran over
his tickets to see if any of those drawn
were among them. The numbers thus
drawn were:
5S5, 430, 40, 8G4, 833, 820, 287, 091,
370,720,435,141,300,400, 302 194, 743,
612, 304„102, 524, 529, 358, 172, 859.
The wheel was emptied, and the twen
ty-five tickets placed therein, and after re
volving as usual five were drawn out.
These numbers were 743, 800,162,741
and 612. The excitement here became
intense. These five were placed in tha
wheel, and the winning ticket, number
612, drawn out amid cheers and a perfect
buzz of inquiry all over the room.
It was soon ascertained that 612 was
held by Mr. J. L. Cook. The report
spread that two young ladies were inter
ested in the drawing with Mr. Cook. In
an interview last evening, however, Mr.
Cook stated that he was the sole owner ol
the lucky ticket.
Attention was next directed to the
raffles. Dr. J. S. Baxter won the elegant
bedroom furniture by a throw of forty-five.
Mr. T. H. Henderson won tlie handsome
easy chair.
On the evening previous, Miss Aurie
Hall won the laige aquarium, and Mayor
Huff the smaller one. Mr. J. S. Stewart
won the handsome saddle donated by
Messrs. Bemd Brothers.
A laige quantity of goods were auctioned
off, leaving on hand, however, quite a
supply,among others, a bale of sheeting
donated by Messrs. Hanson.
The votes were counted out last even
ing. For the most popular young gentle
man, the vote stood;
W. n, Woodson, 84; E. A. Isaacs, 45;
J. Emanuel, 11; Rowe Price, 18; T. B.
Blacksliear, 15; scattering, 2. Mr. Wood-
son was declared the winner, and was
presented with the handsome cane.
For the most popular officer the vote
stood: Lieutenant W. B. Sparks, 162:
Lieutenant Conner, 72; Captain Harde
man, 9; Captain Carnes 9, and Captain
McManus 1. The sword was accordingly
placed in the keepinc of «■•- £p~*-i«o.
The fair closed successfully, and it is
thought about twenty-five hundred dol
lars will be netted for the Volunteers.

Sfemorial to tbe Commissioners.
The following was handed in for publi
cation, and will explain itself:
To the Commissioners of Bibb County:
We, the undersigned citizens of Macon,
represent that the erection of a jail on
Mulberry street adjoining the County
Court House, will:
1. Prove an injury to the value of
adjacent property, in as much, though tlie
jail may be concealed from the front by
tbe erection of a jailer’s residence, the
families between the jail and river will be
forced to endure the vile obscenity of the
imprisoned criminals or move from the
neighborhood.
2. That the moral influence alone of a
jail in the vicinity, will cause, as it has
done in other cities, the removal of the
better classes, their places being taken by
the low and disreputable.
3. This portion of the city having been
chosen as the most fit place in the whole
county for the erection of our elegant
monument to the dead Confederate” he
roes of Bibb, that our feelings should not
be outraged by putting in such near con
tact the cells that are to contain the vil
lains of the community.
4. Though it were possible to conceal
the prisoners from every point of view,
yet their voices can be heard, unless their
mouths are kept continually gagged, and
their outrageous profanity will constantly
float in upon the services of at least three
of our principal churches. The human
voice can be heard over half a mile dis
tinctly, hence in the summer especially,
when all windows are compelled to be
open, the blasphemous screams of those
confined will prove an intolerable nui
sance to worshippers on the quiet Sab
bath.
5. That criminals who are to suffer the
extreme penalty ol the law, must be hung
in tlie jail yard, which will still further
depress the value ol adjoining property,
yet more degrade our noble monument,
and sadly reflect upon our churches,, that
the home of the blasphemer and law
breaker should^ stand so prominently in
their very midst.
Hence we believe that the county will
lose much less even by increasing the pay
of deputy sherifis for their extra walking
to and from a more distant jaii, than will
be lost in reduced taxes by tlie deprecia
tion of valuable property, and for reasons
above stated, we respectfully ask that the
jail be put in its old position if that be
rossible, or in some other less used and
nhabited part of the city than that near
our county court-house, and your peti
tioners as in duty bound will ever pray.

Superior Court.
Yesterday the Superior Court was again
occupied the entire day on the Gray-0 bear
case. The arguments were made by some
of the counsel and will be concluded
this morning. Colonel John Rutherford
opened for the plaintiff, Mr. Gray, in u
speech of about two hours, and was fol
lowed by Judge Anderson in an argument
for Mr. Obear, the executor, which occu
pied about tliree hours.
Captain J. C, Rutherford commenced
his argument in conclusion for the plain
tiff. He will conclude this morning when
after Judge Simmons’ charge, the case
will go to the jury. All of the speeches
were able.
The case is attracting considerable at
tention in the city. What the verdict of
the jury will be however, conjecture even
fails to state.
Dunce in Vineville.
One of the pleasantest social events
which has taken place in the village of
Vineville this season, occurred last even
ing at the residence of Mrs. Sorrell, in a
dance given by the young gentlemen of
that place. The entire house was thrown
open and tlie gathering was very large-
Kessler’s band discoursed music in its best
time and sweetest notes, and the space al
lotted to the dancers was filled throughout
the evening.
The whole ol young Vineville was out,
and a more congenial and happy gather
ing has seldom been seen. A favored few
attended from the city, and were received
with a genuine welcome. The affair was
well arranged and managed by Mr. Ward
Holt and Mr. J. S. Jones. The Vineville
dances arc noted for the thorough enjoy
ment they afford to all attending them.

A former President of a New England

noticed one of the Freshman of his college
curled up in front of him, and exhibiting
the obvious signs of vinous exhilaration.
A close inspection revealed the fact that
the state of inebriety was not hastily put
on (like a hat), but had been worn close
ly (like an under-shirt) for several days.
For a few moments the President survey
ed the under-graduate with an expression
of mingled commission and disgust, and
finally exclaimed, “Been on a drunk!”
The half-conscious student rallied his

the belfry of the church. It is an elegant
bell of some two thousand pounds weight,
from the celebrated foundry of tbe Mene-
lys, of Troy, New York. The Hiber
nians had some six hundred dollars in their
treasury, and by a vote of the society it
was appropriated to this commendable
purpose. The church has been without a
bell for many years. The building was
originally used by the Presbyterians of
the city, and was subsequently sold to the
Catholics. Since their purchase no hell
has sounded from its steeple. The bel
fry has, however, been thoroughly exam
ined by competent architects, and they
pronounced it able to sustain and accom
modate the hell. We congratulate the
church on this acquisition. The Catholic
denomination have more frequent use for
bells than any other, and this one will be
quite an addition to the chimes of the
eity.
Visitor* to Belsbauftr.
We hear of parties being made up, in
several of the towns situated on the. vari
ous railroads centering in Macon, to attend
the coming renditions of this brilliant op
era- during froxt week. Ii the railroad
authorities would grant a liberal reduction
of fares, there would doubtless be a much
larger attendance of visitors than were
here last May. Something might be done
to get railroad officials to offer induce
ments to parties at a distance.

Chinese Executions and Jhils.
A correspondent of the World, writing
from Shanghai, says: “I went to see six
Chinese pirates beheaded yesterday. The
open square- where all the executions took
place, was filled with Chinese.of all ages
and conditions, and a few Europeans
among them. The prisoners were the
most forlorn starvelings I ever saw, and
betrayed no more fear at their approach
ing fate than if they were to be spectators
of an execution. A huge Tartar officiated
as executioner. He was armed with a na
tive sword, and stood on a small platform
in the centre of the square. After the
criminals, with their hands tied behind,
had been "taken upon the stage, tbe execu
tioner took one of the pirates by the arm,
brought liim to the edge of the platform,
hit him a sharp rap with his hand on the
head, which caused the poor fellow
to bow his head, and then the execu
tioner’s sword went np, was poised in the
air a full minute, and with a sweep the
glittering blade descended and the poor
criminal’s head went flying off in one di
rection and the body in the other. ■ ,
One by one the others met their death
in the same way, the Tartar making a
very short, business-like job Of it, merely
turning to receive the • plaudits of the
crowd after each head rolled off, and re
sponded by a grin which showed every
one of his teeth. But the stolidity of the
poor wretches was beyond description.
Not a muscle quivered, and even when
waiting for the blade of the executioner
to descend I could not detect a sign of
emotion. The crowd seemed to enjoy
the sight immensely, and set up a yell of
delight at each cut of the Tartar’s sword.
I am told that executions are common
here.
Sickened with the sight I went down
one of the roads, and coming to a prison,
Went in. Of all places in this world, I
believe there is notone where so much ab
ject wretchedness can be seen as in a
Chinese prison. The criminals serving
out sentence, get hut one meal a week
from the authorities. The rest of the
time they are fed by their friends, if they
have any; by the contributions of visitors

VICTORY AT LAST.
Stammering and Cancer* Cored by
Dr. MoaesA Son, recently from At
lanta
From the acknowledged fact that the
true nature and causes of stammering
have never been determined by medical
men, no effective remedy has ever been
suggested for its correction. So, for tlie
want of correct apprehension of the real
charade; of - cancer, this loathsome dis
ease has very placidly been set down as
incurable.
For the same reason that the stammerer
has been permitted -to agonize the world
with his mockish articulation and painful
contortions, so the pitiable subjects of can
cer have been left to battle with its pain
ful, disgusting and life destroying ravages
under the sterotyped decree that these
maladies cannot be cured. .
But these lisping, stuttering voices and
despondent groans need no longer be
heard. Both these inveterate problems
tbat have so dong defied human science
have at last been demonstrated and prac
tically solved. Dr. N. A. Moses, of Vir
ginia, has recently touched tbe key
note that now triumphantly procaims vie- 1
tory over these humiliating troubles. Ha
unfetters the stammering tongue, and bids
it speak with ease and fluency.
_ He is demonstrating in his; daily prac
tice that cancers can be positively ami
permanently cured. Thousands of valua
ble tongues long fettered are to-day shout
ing victory with clear and distinct voices,
and thousands more gratefully lauding
the same benefactor for happy deliver
ance from the ominous iavages of cancer
and other offensive and destructive ulcers.
. Dr. Moses has has taken rooms at the
Lanier House, Macon, Georgia, where he
can be seen and consulted.

This is to certify that 1 have recently,
been afflicted with two cancers—one on
my nose and the other on my upper lip.
It has been about four years since they
began to make their appearance, and have
continued to progress until about a month
ago, when Dr. Moses began to treat them.
He has entirely removed them both, and
without tbe aid of knife or instrnment of
any kind, ard they appear to be entirely
and permanently cured. ; I cheerfully rec
ommend his treatment to all in need of
6uch help.
