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.

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. A new dress, just purchased, will make all of tlie editions handsomer than ever. Our mammoth weekly contains sixty-four columns, and is one of the best and cheap est publications south of Baltimore.

We regret to learn of the death of Mr. M. Jossey, of Sumter county, which oc curred yesterday at 12 o’clock, 14 miles from Americus. Mr. Jossey has been suf fering from heart disease for some time past, and his death was not unexpected. He has two sons in Macon,' Mr. James Jossey and Mr. B. F. Jossey. He was a very estimable citizen, and his death is much regretted. We sympathize with his relatives in this city. Dissolution. Attention is called to a card which ap pears elsewhere announcing the dissolu tion of the firm ofMessis. O. G. Sparks & Son, Mr. W. B. Sparks continuing the business at the old stand. In retiring from the firm Mr. O. G.’Sparks severs his ccnnec^iop with the warehouse business 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; newspapers, etc., 3,788. - • Carrier No. 2—38 registered letters; 2,795 mail letters: 866 mail postal cards; 162 local letters; 75 local postal cards; news papers, etc., 1,821. Carrier No, 3—9 registered letters; 117 mail letters; 290 mail postal cards; -95 local letters; 26 local postal cards; 766 newspapers, etc. Carrier No. 4.—70 registered letters; 4,010 mail letters; 1,123 mail postal cards; 325 local letters; 201 local postal cards; 2,454 newspapers, etc. Carrier No. 5.—37 registered letters; ,064 mail letters; 640 mail postal cards; 109 lota! letters; 34 local postal cards; 936 newspapers, etc. newspapers, etc. The mail matter collected was as fol lows: Carrier No. 1—7,494 letters; 3,352 pos tal cards; 2,022 newspapers, etc.; 224 lo cal letters. ’ Carrier No. 2—3,042 letters; 1,232 pos tal cards; 337 newspapers, etc; 81 local letters. Carrier No. 3—1,373 letters; 470 pos tal cards ; 75 newspapers, etc.; 12 local letters. Carrier No. 4—S93 letters ; 834 pos tal cards; 53 newspapers, etc.; 1 local letters.

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.

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. certificates. MACON, Georgia, February 1, 1880. I hereby certify that Dr. Moses has cured a severe cancer of twenty-five ; rears duration on my lip without dis- iiguringmy lip in the least; commenced treatment cne month ago iu Atlanta. I am now and have been a citizen of Ma con, Georgia, for twenty-one years, 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, 202 Jones Street. For the benefit of suffering humanity, I state that Dr. Moses & Son have cured me of a cancer unde.- my right eye with a vegetable plaster, having been unsuccess fully treated by several physicians hereto fore; as an expression of gratitude and an appreciation for faithful service kindly rendered by them, I cheei fully recom mend them.
