ation of $135,000 for the support of cer
tain Indian tribes during the present fis
cal year. Mr. Wells spoke in support
of the bill, stating if the bill was not pass
ed there would exist great danger of the

hitherto published. Adopted.
Mr. Covert, of New York, chairman of
the Committee on Agriculture, to attend
in person or by deputy, the international
wool and sheep exhibition to be held in
Philadelphia, September next, but Mr.
Beale, of Virginia, objected.
The Speaker then proceeded to call on

ture. .
Washington, February 13. — The
House Commerce Committee took up the
subject of inter-State commerce this
morning. Mr. McLane offered his bill as
an amendment to the Reagan bill,
whereupon the bill as a substitute for Mr.

Mr. McCook, ofjjNew York, supported the
bill. The young man had served in the
Confederate army when he was between
sixteen and eighteen years of age, though
he, Mr. McCook, was considerable of a
Republican, he would say that any man
who had spent four or live years in the
service of the United States should not be
debarred of the right of promotion. The
bill was passed.

der of the day to be the bill for the relief of
General Fitz John Porter.
Mr. Bright, of Tennessee, raised the

into the committee of the whole, on the
private calendar. He raised the question
of consideration in behalf of the multitude
as against individuals.
Mr. O'Connor, of South Carolina, sup
ported Mr. Bright’s motion. If the House
proceeded to consider the Fitz John Porter
bill, the discussion of which would con
sume a vast amount of tihie, would be
the equivalent to slamming the doors of
Congress in the face of every other pri
vate claim. The HouseTstood, yeas, 41;
nays, not counted, and refused to consider
the bill and went into the committee of
the whole on the private calendar.

London, February 1?.—Subscriptions
to the Dublin Mansion House Irish relief
fund to date, bare reached 57,484 pounds,
and the grants aggregate 27,000 pounds.

cludes: The objection of the Irish mem
bers that a charge upon tbo church fund,
would really be in aid of the poor rates,
and would thus violate the express provis
ion of the act of 1809, is inconsis
tent with the claim made upon the Impe
rial Exchequer. The measures of the
Government arc intended only to take ef
fect when the poor law system proves
wholly inadequate to relieve it.
Berlin, February 13.—Prussia has pre
sented in the Bundsrath a bill prohibiting

to the 31st of March, 1886.

had supported that system. Until the

In consequence of an anticipated change
in the management »f the Telegraph

fifty years has held converse with its nu

Wasuixton, February 14.—Mr. Bright
of Tennessee, in the House to-day, attack
ed the money oligarchy which had for so
long a time dictated legislation and to the
rapacity of which there appeared to be
no bottom. The power of money had se
cured the passage of the acts of 1869,1871,
and 1875, the latter being one of the
many assaults upon the treasury notes.
He argued that the legal tender act was
such as the 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 ol their position by
iping abreast of the news of the whole
world as fast as it can be transmitted by
ocean cable, or the telegrapliie lines of the
country. They will also spare no pains
to advance the interests of Georgia and

Mr. Hayes, of Illinois, discussed many

and in defense of the national bank sys
tem.

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

readiness the citizens of Macon responded
to the call of Columbus, when the city
was in imminent danger of being des
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

add to its success. He has made arrange
ments with all the public schools for their
attendance, and has also made arrange

her course accordingly. If the ascending j
boat accepts the course, well and good;
but if, however, she 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 the opposite side
from that which she was first headed,
thus crossing the bows of the descending I
boat and exposing both to the danger of
collision.
Washington, Februaiy 14.—Senator]
Lamar returned to Washington to-day.
He is stili obliged to use a crutch, but
otherwise appears to be in excellent phys
ical and mental condition, and is in good
spirits. He will resume his seat in the ]
Senate next Monday.
An Interesting Case.—The trial of
an interesting criminal case is now in
progress in the county court of Campbell
eounty, Va. The case in question is the
prosecution by the
Dissolution.
Attention is called to a card which ap
pears elsewhere announcing the dissolu
tion of the firm of Messrs. 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
connection 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 tho warehouse. We wish
the junior of the late firm the greatest
success.
The Columbus Excursion.
To-morrow morning a laige party of
Maconites will go to Columbus with the
Commonwealth of I Belshazzar Company. The registered
Jesse E. Mitchell, William E. Glass and
James C. Walton on the charge of black- ]
mailing, during a term of several years, a
respectable young lady named Miss Lizzie
Robinson, to th« extent of several thousand
dollars and a valuable tract of land. It j
claimed that the prosecution to which
the young lady was subjected led to the
loss of every natural protector she had—I
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 m 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
father, mother and brother—the last of I 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 “Belshazzaritcs.”
The Times of yesterday contains the fol
lowing, and pays a deserved compliment to
Mr. J. T. Boifeuillet, who has been in
Important Citizens’ Meeting.
Yesterday afternoon agreeable to notice
portion of the merchants and cotton
factors of Macon met at the engine honse
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 166, relating to
the contract between the Central railroad,
the Macon and Western railroad company
and the Southwestern railroad company,
to-wit: That the roads shall enter
into stipulations with tlie 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
byj. H. R. Washington, the Mayor of
the city and R. R. Cuyler, president ofthe
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 the annuity paid for
the privilege of crossing the river, was the
following: *
And the said three companies further
covenaut and agree with the Mayor and
Council of the City of Macon, for itself
and on behalf of ail 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 i,. J 1 between Griffin
and Savannah fmeaniiiM- the City of Grif
fin on the Macon ana Western Railroad
Company’s railroad, and the 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 cither of said towns or
cities.
This provision of the contract, the con
sideration of which wa# the privileges
granted by tlie 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 the pre
vision is plain, and if it is enforced places
Macon in % 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 the
contract is enforced for the years during
which it has not been regarded, au im-
mouse 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 very great to shippers
if the contemplated prorata was observed.
The present rate on cotton to Savannah
from Atlanta is fortv-fivo cents per hundred
a distance of three hundred miles. The
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.
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 tho mail entrusted to their
care. 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-
lowingmail matter was delivered in the
city:
