reads: when steamers are approaching
each other, tbe signal for passing shall be
one sound of the steam whistle, to pass to
the left; these signals to be given
first by the descending steamer. In
tbe old rule tbe descending boat has the
right of way, but the ascending
boat must say which way she wants to
f o first. The result of which, as asserted
y the members of the board who voted
for the change, is that the ascending boat
chooses her side,whistles for it and shapes
her course accordingly. If the ascending
boat accepts tlie course, well and good;
but if, however, slie orders, as she has the
right to do, that the ascending boat shall
pass on the other side the latter must
change her course to tlie opposite side
from that which she was first headed,
thus crossing the bows of the descending
boat and exposing both to the danger of
collision.

stirring and important events. General
elections are to be held for National, State,

excitement evolved by the contest will be
intense. Measures of the most vital char
acter, also, to the future of the country,
such as tho modifications sought to be in
augurated in our system of finance, the
projected revision of the tariff, our Indian
policy, etc., are to be discussed before the
people, and every intelligent person should
take a newspaper.
The proprietors of the Telegraph
and Messenger are resolved to fulfill
all the requirements of their position by
keeping abreast of the news of the whole
world as fast as it can be transmitted by
ocean cable, or the telegraphic lines of the
country. They will also spare no pains
to advance the interests of Georgia and
the sections especially in which it so
largely circulates, and while advocating,
wifli all the zeal and ability they possess,
the principles of the Democratic party,
will yet pursue a conservative and mod
erate course upon all questions.

of Macon. *He has been interested in it
for nearly a half century and in that time
has become thoroughly identified with
Macon and her interests. He is attended
by the best wishes of his many friends.
But few men in Macon can date their busi
ness career so far into the past. He will
still be found at the warehouse. We wish
the junior of the late firm the greatest
success.
The Columbus Excursion.
To-morrow morning a large party of
Maconites will go to Columbus with tbe
Belshazzar Company. The registered
list shows quite an array, and the excur
sion will be very select. The train will
leave the car shed at 9 o’clock precisely.
All will take lunch, as the train will not
arrive in Columbus until 3 o’clock in the
afternoon.
Returning, the company will leave Co
lumbus at 12 o’clock on Tuesday night,
but parties going with them can return on
any train up to 12 o’clock on Wednesday
night. All connected with the company
are requested to take as little baggage' as
possible. From a private letter from Col
umbus last evening, we learn that the
prospects are extremely flattering for a
pleasant time for the “Belshazzarites.”
The Times of yesterday contains the fol
lowing, and pays a deserved compliment to
Mr. J. T. Boifeuillet, who has been in
Columbus for several days, in the interest
of tbe approadiing performances .*
Yesterday morning at seven o’clock the
number of benches were taken. There is
no doubt about the fact that they will
have one of the largest houses of the sea
son. The sale of seats for the perform
ance Tuesday night, will begin this
morning.
We are glad to know that Columbus
will receive the Maconites in a manner
that is commendable. The object is a wor
thy one, being for the joint benefit of Mer
cer University and Wesleyan Female Col
lege. When we remember with what
readiness the citizens of Macon responded
to the call of Columbus, when the city
was in imminent danger of being desr
troyed by fire, it is no wonder that our
people are not slow to show their appre
ciation.
While it is true that Belshazzar, of
itself would have drawn a good house,the
success, to a large extent, is due to the in
domitable energy of Mr. J. T. Boifeuillet,
who has left nothing undone that would
add to its success. He has made arrange
ments with all the public schools for their
attendance, and has also made arrange
ments for an excursion down from Ham
ilton. He has interested some of the
more prominent citizens in it, .ind a large
erbwd is expected from that place for the
performance Tuesday night,
Important Citizens' Sleeting:.
Yesterday afternoon agreeable to notice
a portion of the merchants and cotton
factors of Macon met at the engine house
of No. 1 Fire Company, to deliberate upon
the mercantile interests of the city. No
final action was taken, but Colonel C. J
Harris was appointed to communicate to
this paper with the request that it might
be published, the following condition con
tained and specified in the third section of
the act of 1847, page 160, relating to
the contract between tbe Central railroad
the Macon and Western railroad company
and the Southwestern railroad company)
to-wit: That the roads shall enter
into stipulations with the proper author
ities of Macon to charge no more freight
from Macon on said roads than is pro rata
per mile proportionable to the rates from
Savannah to Atlanta, or from Atlanta to
Savannah.
On this act was based a special con
tract with the three railroads above
named and the city council. It was en
tered into in the year 1851, and the ques
tion of the council’s making such contract
was submitted to the popular vote, and
was the cause of great excitement in the
city at that time. The contract is signed
by J. H. R. Washington, the Mayor of
the city and R. R. Cuyler, president of the
Central road, Isaac Scott, president
of the Macon and Western road, and L.
O. Reynolds, President of the Southwes
tern road, duly attested and sealed.
Among the stipulations, one of which is
the establishment ot tlie annuity paid for
the privilege of crossing the river, was the
following:
And the said three companies further
covenant and agree with the Mayor and
Council of the City of Macon, for itself
and on behalf of all persons who, as afore
said, (as shippers of produce or other
wise) may be, or become interested
in the faithful observance of this
particular covenant, that from and im
mediately after the “crossing and connec
tion” herein contemplated shall take
place, the rates of freight between Griffin
and Savannah fmeaning the City of Grif
fin on the Macon and Western Railroad
Company’s railroad, and tbe town of Ogle
thorpe, on the line of the road of the
Southwestern Railroad Company) shall be
and remain always at least one-fifth more
in respective cases than the rates of freight
between Macon and Savannah—so.that no
improper discrimination shall be made
against Macon by the said railroad com
panies in favor of either of said towns or
cities.
This provision of the contract, tlie con
sideration of which was the privileges
granted by the city of Macon to the three
roads of crossing the Ocmulgee river and
connecting their lines under a common
depot, within the corporate limits, has
so far as has been discovered, never been
annulled, but has remained dormant now
for many years. The meaning of tbe pro
vision is plain, and if it is enforced places
Macon in a position where she can com
mand the situation. The contract has
been allowed to go by default many years,
and if the city has any rights in the
matter the authorities have certainly slum
bered over them. It is claimed that
the contract gives the city vested rights,
which rights for valuable considerations
were given, and once established, these
rights cannot be disturbed by subsequent
legislation. It is also claimed that if tbe
contract is enforced for the years during
which it has not been regarded, au im
mense sum will be to the credit of the
Shippers of goods over the three lines in
cluded in it, which they have made dur
ing the many years since it first went into
effect.
These views were yesterday laid before
the meeting, and produced quite a sensa
tion. The committee recently appointed
by a citizens’ meeting to visit Atlanta in
the interest of freight charges, will lay
these facts before the Railroad Commis
sion for their consideration.
As the rate of freight now stands, the
difference would be veiy great to shippers
if the contemplated pro rata was observed,
The present rate on cotton to Savannah
from Atlanta is forty-five cents per hundred
distance of three hundred miles. Tbe
rate from Macon to Savannah is forty
cents a bale for a distance of two hundred
miles. Under the act of 1847, and its
stipulation, the proportion would be forty-
five and thirty cents, making a saving of
about seventy-five cents on each bale
shipped from Macon to Savannah. This
calculation is based on the presumption
that the extensions of the roads from their
original to their present termini are sub
ject to the provisions of the act and con
tract. f
The question is a very interesting one,
and will be watched with interest by our
people.
Free Delivery. "
The free delivery postal system of the
city has since its inauguration proved an
entire success. Notwithstanding the fact
that the city is without numbers, the car
riers have so familiarized themselves with
their respective territories as to insure the
delivery of all the mail entrusted to their
Their work during the first thirty
days has far surpassed expectations, and
will compare with that of any other
Southern city.
The official record shows that the fol
lowing mail matter was delivered in the
city:
Carrier No. 1.—257 registered letters:
5,579 mail letters; 2,641 mail postal cards;
319 local letters; local postal cards, 44;

This makes a fine showing for the city.
The system is rapidly increasing in popu
larity not only with the merchants, but
with the citizens also. The class of per
sons especially benefited are those living
at a distance from the office, particularly
ladies and the working classes.
To the excellent officials of the depart
ment here are the citizens greatly indebt
ed for the vigilance and energy used in
making the free delivery in Macon a suc
cess.

Stammering and Cancers Cared by
Dr. Moses &. Son, recently from At
lanta
From the acknowledged fact that the
true nature and causes of stammerim;
have never been determined by medical
men, no effective remedy has ever been
suggested for its correction. So, for the
want of correct apprehension of the real
character 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
that have so long defied human science
have at lost been demonstrated and prac
tically solved. Dr. N. A. Moses, of Vir
ginia, has recently touched the key
note that now triumphantly procaims vic
tory over these humiliating troubles. He
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 and
lermanently cured. Thousands of valua-
)le tongues long fettered are to-day shout
ing victory w ith clear and distinct voices,
and thousands more gratefully lauding
the same benefactor for happy deliver
ance from tlie ominous ravages of cancer
and other offensive and destructive ulcers.
Dr. Moses Las has taken rooms at tlie
Lanier House, Macon, Georgia, where he
can be seen and consulted.

MACON, Georgia, February 1, 1880.
I hereby certify that Dr. Moses has

iiguringmy lip in the least; commenced
treatment cne month ago iu Atlanta. I
am now and have been a citizen of Ma

cheerfully recommend his treatment to
all suffering with this dreadful malady.
Fred Jordan,
feb3 d3t w2t East Macon.
Atlanta, Ga., January 20, 18S0.
This is to certify that I 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
ajo, when Dr. Moses began to treat them.
He has entirely removed them both, and
without the aid of knife or instrument of
any kind, and they appear to be entirely
and permanently cured. I cheerfully rec
ommend his treatment to all in need of
such help.
Mrs. Ruth A. M. Nelson,

Rumored Homicide.
A rumor gained wide circulation in tlie
city last night that Mr. L. B. Pike had
shot a man several days ago in Jackson
ville, Florida, where he is at present, and
that the man had since died. Mr. Pike's
most intimate friends here were entirely
ignorant of any such occurrance and the
rumor could be traced to no reliable
source. An examination of the city papers
of Jacksonville of several days past failed
to discover intelligence of any difficulty
in which Mr, Pike was engaged.
