In consequence of an anticipated change in the management »f the Telegraph and Messenger, which for more than fifty years has held converse with its nu merous patrons, the usual annual pros pectus has been delayed for several weeks. The retirement of our esteemed associate Anderson W. Reese, Esq., however, and the installation of his successor, Mr. Joseph H. Jones, as co-editor and proprie tor, completes once more the organization of the paper, and again, therefore, we un furl our banner to the breeze and call up on the people of Middle, Southern and Southwest Georgia to rally with renewed don correspondent of the' Liveipool Cow- j enthusiasm to the support of their old fa- ier says: “Assurance is given me to-day I vorite, the Telegraph and Messen- tliatthe statement of the intention of Bar- j ger. oness Bourdett Courts to devote a half million pounds to the amelioration of the distress in Ireland is true.

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 the sections especially in which it so largely circulates, and while advocating, perfectly constitutional, and quoted au- I with all the zeal and ability they possess, thorities in support of this argument, Mr. Finley, of Ohio, following with a speech in favor of the bill for the equal ization of bounties.

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 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 success, to a large extent, is due to the in domitable eneigy 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.

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.

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: Carrier No. L—257 registered letters: 5,579 mail letters; 2,641 mall postal cards; 319 local letters; local postal cards, 44; newspapers, etc., 3,788.
