tills country enjoys from its isolated terri
torial position, which exempts it from'all
those questions of rivalry and balance of
power which harrass European nationali
ties, and are yearly draining their resour
ces to the point of exhaustion. A German
paper, speaking to this point, says that
Germany and Russia have doubled their
budget (annual expenditures) in the course
of the past few years, merely in conse
quence of their enormous armaments.
Germany now expends 60,000,000 and Rus
sia 107,000,000 pounds sterling, .annually.
The budget of France now amounts to
£119,000,000; or say about five hundred
and ninety odd millions, of dollars annu
ally ; and the strictly military expenses of
Russia, England,^ Germany and France
amount to six hundred million dollars 1
every year. France is said to carry a
burden of one hundred and three dol
lars indebtedness per head on every one of
her population, and the annual interest
account is three dollars and eighty cents
per head. Her military expenditures in
1678, footed up 538,326,499 francs.
These military expenditures are not
only a dead animal waste, showing no re
turn beyond popular demoralization, but
worse still, they are very inadequately
represented by the figures of°actHal ex
penditures, Tor they make no account of
lost time and labor by the millions of able
bodied men withdrawn in their prime
from productive labor, and remitted to
the demoralization of camp life.
Such an unhappy state of thingsj wherein
the expenses of a nation are, as a matter of
fact, dictated by rival powers, can never
exist with us in the 'centre of the Ameri
can continent. Without extreme folly
our career must be one of peace—in
which' the savings from military arma
ments alone should produce in a short
time, unexampled wealth, and coupled
with the extraordinary resources of our
grand domain, open a .vista in the future
grand and magnificent far beyond all his
torical examples.
Indeed, our chief dangers grow out of
our progress in wealth, and the corrupt
ing influences unseparable from,rapid ac
quisition -‘arid growing abundance. It is
the vast accumulations of wealth in pri
vate hands, and combining against the
masses in all the movements in trade, that
are liable to create a dangerous state of
discontent and dissatisfaction among the
masses, who constitute the voting and
governing power. It is the business of
wise statesmanship to elaborate some
check against the combination of specula
tors to extort unlawful and unjust profits
frem the people. If this is not done there
will be great danger of ruinous domestic
di^sentions and civil discords which may
be as wasteful as foreign war.

Too Mast Diamonds.—In reference
'to the diamond necklace presented to
Mrs. Fitch, daughter of General Sherman,
by the lata Khedive of Egypt, a corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer makes
this report: -
It will be remembered that this neck
lace was deemed worth $200,000, and
Congress remitted the duties, §20,000, for
the non-payment of which it was long de
tained in the New York Customhouse.
“After this,” says the informant “the
necklace was sent to Washington and,
with General Sherman’s sword, deposited
in the United States treasury for safe
keeping. Upon further inquiry Lieuten
ant Fitch ascertained that the yearly taxes
on the diamonds in St. Louis county,
where he then resided, would be much
more than his salary, and he once more
found them an elephant on his hands.
His. father-in-law, General Sherman,
took pity on the boy and returned the
necklace, with thanks, to the donor in
Egypt. Upon receiving them the Khe
dive wrote to the General saying that it
was not liis ; -desire that the diamonds
should be given to any ; one member of bis
family, arid, having learned that he had
four daughters, it was his wish then that
the diamonds should be mounted in sets
and divided equally between them. These
daughters are Mrs. Fitch, nee Minnie
Sherman, Ella Sherman, Lizzie Sherman
and Rachael Sherman. The necklace
was then returned to the Sherman family
and mounted in four magnificent pen
dants, four pairs of splendid solitaire ear
rings and eight rings. These four ladies
are now the happy possessors of four
complete suifs.of diamonds. Jlie value of
each suit being at least $75,000. This
makes each of them rich in Jier own right
through the generosity of Egypt’s late
riiler.” ....

The Democratic National Conven
tion.
The National Executive Committee
have selected Cincinnati as the place of
the Democratic National Convention, and
the time Tuesday, 22d day of June next.
That will allow about four months for the
canvass-jquite long enough for an excite
ment of that nature; and it will also allow
a lapse of six weeks after the Clrfcago
Convention—time enough to see how the
third term strikes the popular pulse, and
what course is suggested by the situation.
Both cf these points have been well con
sidered ; and it may be said with truth
and candor that there is no candidate be
fore the Democratic party, at this time,
with any such pre-eminent strength as to
direct popular attention. The whole-
country is before us whence to choose,
and Providence and sound discretion for
our guide.
The suggestion of the Sun and other
friendly prints of a candidate outside of
the party, does not strike us with much
force. The thing was tried in Greeley’s
case, and turned out worse than any so-
ealle J Bourbon arrangement ever heard
of. But there must be in the ranks of
Ihe Democratic party many men of higli
talents, of moderate and conciliatory
temper and record—of fine personal char
acter and history, and of. unassailable an
tecedents. Such a man as this will unite
and bring out the Democratic vote, which
will of itself overbalance the strictly Re
publican vote; and it will also secure
thousands of votes inexorably opposed to
the third term, besides. - This is the kind
of nomination the situation demands.
Mere personal popularity is not going to
travel far in this fight, and if it did, the
Democrats can show no man who wields
it to any wide extent.
The Ice Crop Still Lacking.
It is now the last week in February,
and none of the Northern Ice Compa
nies, which do a heavy exporting
trade, have secured a„ sup
ply, or anything approaching one.
Hudson river is still open, and the ice
covering of the lakes and ponds is still
very thin—unfit for storage. But faith is
a good deal stouter than the ice, and pro
prietors insist that before March is out*
there will be a two to three feet freeze.
There is a constant warfare being
waged between the various species of the
animal kingdom. Think of the horrible-
ness of an army of worms storming the
citidel of life. A dose of Shriner’s Indian
Vermifuge will destroy them.
The Third Term Programme,
According to the New York Tribune
Washington correspondence, is as follows:
“You are mistaken,” says a leading third
teroi M. C\, “in supposing that General
Grant is a candidate in the sense that
Blaine and Sherman are candidates. His
position is such that lie will not be a can
didate unless nominated by acclamation.”
“How can that be ?” asked the corres
pondent. “The other candidates have cer
tainly gone too far in their canvass to with
draw. If Senator Blaine and Secretary Sher
man intended undrer any circumstances to
step aside and leave the field clear to Gen
eral Grant, they would have done so long
ago.”
“I’ll explain,” was the reply. “Any
one with half an eye will know before the
Chicago Convention meets whether Gen
eral Grant’s friends have secured for him
a majority of the delegates or not, and
whether he can be nominated on the first
ballot. If it is apparent that he'can, I as
sume that there will be no contest made
on behalf of Senator Blaine or Secretary
Sherman. Neither will have anything to
gain by allowing his name to be used un
der such circumstances. It will hot be
like a Congressional Convention, in which
men often cuter the lists knowing it to be
hopeless, in order to gather strength for a
future contest. If, on the other hand,
General Grant’s friends find that lie can
not be nominated on the first ballot; his
name will not be presented to the Con
vention. The ex-President’s position is
such that neither be nor his friends can
afford to enter into a contest that is in the
least degree doubtful.”
“Then I suppose you expect General
Grant to he nominated by acclamation,”
remarked the correspondent.
“Certainly,” was the reply; but if he is
not his name will not be presented to the
Convention at all.”
It makes a person feel sad to hear a
ciying baby, sufferingprobably from some
pain, which could be easily relieved by
the use of Dr. Bull’s Baby Syrup, wbicb is
for sale at all drug stores.
ence betrayed upon the subject elsewhere.
Subsequently, at the earnest suggestion of
many persons, including several of our
citizens, the committee was induced to
reconsider its previous action, and leave
the question of having the annual fair’
still open, subject to the decision of a
special sub-committee. ,,
The matter, therefore, lias been relegat
ed to our people for their special consider
ation. If the executive committee of the
State Society, by declining in the first in
stance to hold a fair in 1SS0, meant to es
tablish biennial State exhibitions in fu
ture, with a view Of encouraging county
and district fairs the off year, and concen
trating ail the energies and productions of
the commonwealth upon the State expo
sition once in two yearg, then we most
heartily concur in such a course. Indeed,
the Telegraph was the’first to make
that suggestion several years ago. 'But if
the refusal to hold a fair was really predi
cated upon the lukewarmness of our Citi
zens, then we should prove that tliey are
mistaken by prompt and most energetic
action in the premises. , " i "' ‘ l
It is estimated that the vast crowds who
attend the fairs when held in Macon, pour
$100,000 at every exhibition into the tills
and pockets of our merchants. ' But this
is the least advantage derived from these
industrial' shows. Hundreds of persons
form new business associations here, arid
ever after continue to deal in this market.
Strangers, too, learn tfye character and
importance of our city,'faff'carry away
with them pleasing recollections, and kind
words for her people. It is thus that trade
and immigration are attracted hither, arid
no one knows how much of our present
prosperity may not be due to the general
advertisement growing out of these fairs,
1 aside from their direct and positive benefit.
We hope, therefore, as the question is
s’-ill an open one. that our merchants and
citizens, if they really wish to' have the"
■fair in Macon next fall, will address'them-
selves to the task of making all the neces
sary arrangements to that end, with the
committee in charge of the matter.
Since writing the above we are inform
ed by President Hardeman that Atlan
ta has actually made a formal application
to have the Fair transferred to tfiatcity
next fall. This is somewhat startling,
after the treatment the State Exposition
received last year at her hands, but it
shows how wide-awake and entciprisiiig
are the people of the Georgia Hub.
It is to be hoped that nothing more will
be needed to rouse to action the dormant
energies of our citizens on this important
matter. What they do must be accom
plished quickly also, as the final decision
of the committee will be announced in a
yery'short time. 19 -
voice of the Legislature, will protect them
in the enjoyment of the property which
will be conveyed to them bona fide.
We feel constrained thus to defend the
people of Middle and Southern Georgia,
while at the same time not calling in ques
tion the fact that our contemporary but
uttered what he believed to be the truth
from such sources of information as had
been received.
Governor Colquitt and the Late Sale
of the Macon arid Brunswick
Hoad.
The Constitution prints a strong en
dorsement of the Governor’s course in re
gard to the consummation of the lease and
sale of the Macon and Brunswick railroad,
from which we extract the following
It is hard- to conceive how, under the
present status of things, even the most
malevolent enemy of Governor Colquitt’S;
or the most eager of those who hope to
rise by his downfall, can invent an objec
tion or frame a remonstrance to bis action
in the matter of the Macon and Brun
swick road. The road is leased on the
exact terms proposed by the State. It is
leased to the company that- the section
most interested has indorsed with blind
unanimity, and it is leased without the
Governor having taken steps that the wi
sest counsel in Georgia decided lie could
not take in safely to the State and in pur
suance of his trust.
To the above we give our hearty assent ,
and so far as the Telegraph is cori-
cerned, it never took issue with the Gov
ernor on the propriety or honesty of his
several acts, hut on the contrary awarded
him full credit for conscientiousness of
purpose, and the warmest desire to make
a success of the lease. ‘ - ’ '/
We think our esteemed contemporary
goes a little too far, Iiofrever, when assert
ing “that it may be fairly said too that the
object of the bill was nearly defeated by
the unreasoning clamor with which the
Governor was beset on all sides at every
step of the negotiation; 4* every halt in
the proceedings, instead of the decorous
sympathy or the quiet advice to which
he was entitled from those-who really
wislted to see the State’s interests subserv
ed, he was assailed in the prints and put
of them, and storms of intrigue and protest
hummed about his head until it was .a
miracle that he could keep his Wits at ail;'
His private character ..even was assailed
and worse things 'vyere threatened., . That
some of this trimult wasrtne rdsfilf ornittl-
est fear and uneasiness on the part of the
people cannot be doubted!' Bat that
much of it was fanned and i inflamed by
parties at interest appears to be equally
trrie.” Y •,
There may have been a few parties who
from selfish and inimical motives, hoped
that the lease would prove a failure in or
der that it might redound to the injnry of
our chief magistrate. Some, too, did
speak hastily and imprudently concern
ing the matter, after it was announced
that the lease bad failed for lack of the
Governor’s signature to. the warranty
title. But to say, that, the people of South
ern Geoigia generally “assailed” the pri
vate character of trar worthy Executive,
or that there was any “tumult’’ to he seen
or heard anywhere, is simply a .mistake.
Brunswick, it is true, became a little ex
cited, but Macori was as calm as a sum
mer’s eve, and few, if any, called in ques
tion the motives or integrity of our excel
lent Governor.
Our Brunswick friends, too, are excusa
ble for the feeling they displayed on the
occasion referred to. i
Long and faithfully had they labored
in behalf oif this enterprise so dear to
themj sending forth her best sons armed
with full authority, and all the pecuniary
backing at their command to achieve the
desired lease. When, therefore, in tbe
very blush of anticipated victory, it was
announced by “wire” that ail their super
human efforts had proved “loves labor
lost,” no wondc-r that the “reaction”
shonld have caused them to speak oat
with feeling and emphasis. But unless
in exceptional instances there was rio dis
loyalty to the Governor, and the great
heart of the people heat true to him, in
the firm belief that he would do what
was right, and retrieve the situation if
possible.
And the result has justified their con
fidence. We are assured from a reliable
source tliat tbe Governor has effected an
arrangement with Messrs. Wilson, Couper,
Lane & Co., which is entirely satisfactory
to all parties.
Central Bailroad Stock—Why it has
Bisen to Far.
The Savannah News prints a lengthy
and sensible article on the probable reas
ons that have caused the stock of tlie Cen
tral Railroad and Banking Company with
in a few weeks to mount up from about
7a to par.
Our worthy contemporary thinks that
while the “manipulations of the bulls,”
and speculative demand may hare had
somewhat to do with tills extraordinary
advance, it may be due. also to the abund
ance of money in tlie country and tlie sat
isfactory status of our present financial
condition. But it goes on to say:
The main and most important reason of
all why the stock has steadily advanced of
late is the solid and prosperous condition
of the read itself. By Colonel Wadley’s
last report it was shown that tlie net earn
ings of the Central last year were about
eight per cent., aud Colonel Cole, in his
dispatch to Mr. Stevenson, regarding the
contract he had made witli tlie Central,
stated, .officially, that :it had made over
seven per cent. net. It is weil known,
also, that, so far this year, the road has
done a better business than it did last
year, and we are informed by parties
who claim to know of what they
speak, that, tl»e .business of . the
Ocean /c Steamshijp Company—controll
ed by -the - Central—alone last year
would pay 2 per-cent, on the capital stock
of the road. It is farther evident that the
future prospects of this line are most en
couraging, for as the cotton. arid other
crops - increase, so must the business Of
the road proportionately increase; This
is the chief and most substantial reason
for the stock being regarded, ris a valuable
investment, and it-should be) remembered
that all the business and the earnings to
Which we .have alluded, is the legitimate,
business of (he rqad itselil* without, any
fagfaffwhatever to ] the jeceut combina
tlon frith )tlie ! XduisVille) Nashvijle and
Great Southern; - Whatever business is
brought to the road by that combina
tion, will be just so much extra.
. The article concludes with this salu
tary admonition to resident stockholders,
which would seem to giro countenance to
the rumor that- the grasping Standiford of
the Louisville, and Nashville railroad is
seeking to gobble up the old Central also.
In,this connection we simply further de
sire to repeat to our readers the sugges
tion made by us a few days since, viz:
That those who possess this stock as a
permanent investment, hold on to it, so as
to make sure that the road, in which the
State has cause to feel such just pride,
may not pass under the control of East
ern capitalists, who are uninterested in
Georgia or in the Central farther than so
far as they can make of , the latter
profitable source of speculation. As we
stated then we say now: “We hope for
all time to come to see the Central essen
tially a home institution.”
To all of which we niter an emphatic
Amen; provided the policy of the read
shall be changed (as we learn it will be)
so. as td abolisli all odious local discrimi
Rations arid be run in the interest of all
the towns and cities on its route, without
partiality, favor or affection, to any. This
wbrild make the Central a popular insti
tution. Otherwise the people will call
sternly for help from the Railroad Com
mission of the State.
Colonel Blount and General Gordon.
The Washington correspondent of the
Constitution lias be^ indulging in sun-
dr)’: sketches of Georgia's delegation in
Congress. Wei append wliat he says of
otir immediate representative and Senator
Gordon:
j Colonel Blount is a very valuable mem
ber. I have been struck with-hia weighty
iiifluence here. He is a cool-headed, posi
tive, careful representative, known and
respected by the whole House. He is
thoroughly experienced and practical.
There has been a. rumor that ho would
net,run.any, more. It is all a mistake.
He lias inside no declarations on the sub-
jetf, ,J< fad come to rio conclusion. Such
men as-Blount ought to be kept here.
General Gordon has a very fine stand
ing here and a bread influence. The re
spect for Gordon is strong and general.
Iii the departments and in Congress he is
equally esteemed as- a- representative of
the pepple. able, conscientious, eloqur *
lohs'rind fritlfil prudfilit. Senator ]
mar, of Mississippi, has returned and is
looking remarkably well.
^These remarks arc eminently true. As
to Colonel Blount’s future intentions,
however, his constituents have not been
ifficially informed. That lie lias made a
vigilant, faithful and able member, none
will deny.
Colonel Hardeman at Bongs' Monn-
* tain.,. 1 ’
Our talented townsman fairly, excelled
himself in liis eloquent oration at the cen

Mountain.
The address was furnished to the Con
stitution arid appears in its Tuesday’s I is
sue. It will also he printed in tl;e regu
lar minutes of 'the Association, and ga

The speaker, in his lofty and chivalric ut
terances, reminds one of the days of
Kirig Arthur and the Knights of the
Round Table.
Poetry, liistoiy arid, the salient duties of
the present, alike' hari their appropriate
places in that masterly effort which held
4,000 auditors entranced.
Colonel Hardeman is a genius of singu
lar versatility. In the halls oi agriculture,
on the hustings, iri the Legislature, before
a literary society, or 1 responding to some
banquet sentiment, he is equally ready
and happy whenever called upon to take
the stand.' His' late address is replete
with good things and patriotic sentiments.

They have been at work in the Combahee

pounds, here were over twenty thousand
pounds of sturgeon quietly secured by the)

their heads and tails were cutoff—the 1

Meeting of the Democratic Na
tional Executive Committee.—This
committee met In -Washington yesterday
to determine the time and place for the
meeting of the Democratic National Con
vention. It is not improbable that our
night telegrams in this edition will give
the result of their labors. We trust they
will assign as late a day as possible for
the nomination. Four months is ample
time for the canvass, and the longer the
third termers range tlie field without the
excitement bred of a party opposition can
didate, the longer the people will hare to
consider the proposition on its merits.
The New York Sun is strongly possessed
by tlie idea tliat an old fashioned party
nominee and canvass will certainly elect
Grant. Whether there be anything
that idea or not—a third term is absolute
ly abhorrent to all American traditions
and usages, and there ought to be time to
disenss it in the abstract,divested of the per
sonal aud extraneous prepossessions aud
prejudices which will spring up witli tlie
selection of an opposition standard-bearer,
whoever he may be. Tlie third term is
an experiment. It may be received with
eclat, and then again it may not.
The Cotton Crop.
A New Orleans telegram to the World
says the cotton receipts are falling off in
comparison with those of the.fcaine time
last year, and the prevailing opinion now"
is that the crop will be about 5,000,000
bales, distributed among the States as fol
lows: Florida, 75,000; Geoigia, 700,000;
Alabama, 725,000; Mississippi, 975,000;
Louisiana, 600,000; Texas, 900,000; South
Carolina, 350,000; Tennessee, 225,000;
Arkansas, 350,000; Viiginia, Missouri
arid Uliriois, etc.,. 50,000. This cotton
will probably average to the producers.
and middle-inen, in round numbers,about
$275,000,000. Of .this vast stun about
$200,000,000 will be put to the credit of our
exchange account with foreign countries.
Add to this the crops of tobacco, rice,
sugar and naval stores, raised principally
in the same States, and many millions
more can be reckoned on the credit side of
our ledger. All this in spite of the exo
dus.
Difficulties in the Lesseps Canal.
The Isthmus of Suez is a neck of sand,
with a surface nowhere much above the
sea level, and in places actually below it.
The rainfall in the region which it tra
verses, is not more than one inch per
year, while at Panama it is frequently as
much per hour. The rainfall at the Isth
mus of Panama often amounts to ten feet
per annum, an amount which, on the
Isthmus of Suez, would fill up the canal
in a single season. A canal through the
New World isthmus must be cut through
or under a chain of mountains, so that the
conditions for constructing canals in the
two : isthmuses are as different as can welt
be imagined. Unfortunately, M. De Lec-
seps approached the' consideration of tlie '
Panama floods arid rocks after having

An Army of Working Women.—It
is said that, there are 3,000,000 working
women in our country dependent upon
their own resources for a livelihood and
such home comforts and surroundings as
they can create. This list includes a vast
army of teachers, sewing women .of all
grades, domestics, and girls employed in
factories and other business, who are
wrestling with tbe world for a living to
say notliing about a home.
Parlor Reading.
How delightful is tins innocence of
childhood. What a scene of loveliness
w?s presented at the MuIbeiTy Street
Methpdist Parsonage last night on the oc
casion of a parlor reading by the children
of the Sunday-school. How like a sun
beam each little child appeared. Tlie
summer bird amid the boughs was never
happier. The flower of the field never
fairer. Each sparkle of the eye of glad
ness seemed.as a diamond glistening in
the sunlight. Tlie morning dew was
never fresher than the. countenances of
these infantile cherubs. The following is
the programme as most excellently per
formed before an audience filling the par
lors of the hopitable parsonage: -
The Baron’s last Banquet—Sidney
Wiley and Florence Roberts.
The Unfinished Prayer—Mary and Ge
nie Cobb.
Little Weemie—Hattie Rogers.
“Once I was a Baby”—Daisy Badger.
Baby Fingers—Katie Martin.
Our Choir—Florence Roberts.
• Tyrolese Song—Ruby and Georgia
Jones.
Little Goldenhair—Mary Cobb.
Bernardo del Carpio—Blautou Win-
ship. / ■>.
“Mamma says I mustn’t”—Lizzie Man-
ghatn.
“Mice at Play”—Emmie Burr.
Mary of Argyle—Madgie Lou Roberts.
Parody on the Burial of Sir John Moore
—Richard Hutchings.
Mary Ann—Eva Wrigley.
“Happy as a Birdie”—Daisy Badger.
Lulu’s Complaint—Gertrude Roberts.
Song—Ruby Jones.
The Dead Doll—Ida Maugham.
My Grandfather’s Clock—Solos by Flor
ence Roberts and Lizzie Maugham.
Where all did so well, it is difficult to
particularize, so we desist. The success
of the entertainment is due to the wonder
ful powers of Mrs. J. B. Cobb, who
trained the children with a faithfulness
and effectiveness that reflects the highest
praise upon her energy and ability. The
moderate admission of only twenty-five
cents was charged, and quite a handsome
sum realized.
We but echo the wish of all present
when we say—Children, repeat the per
formance, for it was an occasion of enjoy
ment and a night.of wonderment.

New York and Grant
The New York Times, one of the most
reliable party organs, has made up a care
fully considered table of the delegates to
meet at Utica on Wednesday, and all the
New York journals now concede a major
ity of the convention to Grant. It classi
fies the delegates as follows: Instructed
xor Grant, 52; uninstructed for Grant, 165;
total, 217. Instructed for Blaine, 8;nnin-
structed for Blaine, 115; total, 123. Un-
instrocted and preference unknown, 34.
It will be seen that Grant will have a ma
jority of 60 over all shades of opposition
and undeclared delegates, and no intelli
gent observer of events need be told how
Senator Crinkling will wield the power
the party has given him in the Conven
tion. He will declare for Grant in stick

pleasure, aa X hare done in manv cases, to utge
vincing tbe public that be bas hit upon
tbe best possible route for a canal between
the two oceahs.
Now that .public attention bas been
directed to tlie interoceanic canal prob
lem, tlie real interests of this country in
it will doubtless be thoroughly can
vassed. The question of location, aside
from that of cost, is of great importance,
although it bas hitherto received compar
atively little attention. The Isthmus of
Fauama is one of the most unhealthy
places in the world, and enjoys the rare
distinction of iurnislitng a specific dis
ease. The Panama ana Chagres fevers
have a reputation as widespread as the
Asiatic cholera or the Coast fever of Af
rica. It is so inaoessible for sailing ves
sels that Maury declared that if by some
convulsion a channel were opened
through it as wide and deep as the Strait
of Dover, it would never be sought by
craft under canvas. It is a totally unpro
ductive region, the local traffic of the
Panama Railroad being absolutely noth
ing; and although a few stragglers dra"
out . a miserable existence there, it is
practically uninhabitable. Even though
a canal can be more cheaply built there
than at any other point, its location there
would seem to be of questionable advant
age, if a more accessible, more healthy,
following him or going over the party
battlements, and there is no room left for
doubt as to the unity of the delegation to
Chicago in a most desperate effort to
make Grant the candidate.
Mutilation of Coin.
Complaint is general aborit the mutila
tion of silver coin; and as the law pre
scribes very heavy penalties for the offense,
it is not improbable that a general sur
prise may be awakened some of these
mornings by some arrest and indictment.
No doubt much of tins mutilation is the
work of children—done with no evil intent
whatsoever—done simply to convert a coin
into a medal: but nevertheless the United,
States statutes make it a very grave , of
fense. Section 5,459 reads as follows:
Every person who fraudulently, by any
ai t, way or means, defaces, mutilates, im
pairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales or light
ens the gold and silver coins which have
been or which may hereafter he coined at
the mints of the United States, or any
foreign gold and silver coins which are by
law made current or are in actual use
and circulation as money within the Uni
ted States, shall be imjjrisoned riot more
than t wo years and fined not more than
$2,000.
A Well Managed Enterprise.
Tlie. Commissioners of the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad on tlie 24th instant,
paid an additional $40,000 into the Treas
ury of tlie State from the earnings of the
road. Tliis makes the handsome total of
$90,000 that has hsen covered into the
coffers of the Commonwealth since the
adjournment of the Legislature last sum
mcr. )Ve are reliably informed also that
the managers have on hand a reserve am
ply sufficient to meet every outstanding
demand against the road, and still leave
a considerable margin to he paid to the
State after tlie present month’s collections
have been received. The Commissioners,
and their General Superintendent, Colo
nel G. W. Adams, will enjoy tlie proud
satisfaction, in surrendering their trusts,
of having faithfully discharged their duty
to the people; and ail will admit that their
stewardship forms at least one proud ex
ception to the. general rule, that no public
interest can lie economically and wisely
managed by tlie State.
pensive route, can be found.
The above is extracted from the Globe-
Democrat, and certainly affords a gloomy
portraiture of the canal even if it shall
ever he successfully excavated. Passen
gers certainly would give a wide berth to
that death-dealing. region, and even the
ships’ companies would in all probability
suffer terribly from malarial fevers in
making the transit from sea to sea.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
United States engineers favor the other
route which has been surveyed across
Nicaragua and the lake of that name, which,
although longer, passes through a rich and
salubrious table land and country peculiar
ly adapted to the growth of sugar, tobacco,
coffee and other valuable products. These
would all help to make the canal a paying
enterprise, and at the same time add to
the commerce and importance of that al
most unknown region,
It is only now that this inter-oceanic
canal project ha3 been seriously entertain
ed in this country, and we trust that it
will be effectually ventilated m Congress
prior to the endorsement of Lasseps’ or
any other scheme. The United States is
the power most interested in the matter,
and our government should exercise due
caution aud deliberation in the premises.
The Sale of the Macon and Bruns
wick Bailroad.
We were permitted yesterday to read a
dispatch from Governor Colquitt to one
of the company who are bargaining for
the purchase of the Macon and Brunswick
railroad) to this effect:
“The sale was definitely and satisfac
torily concluded in New York, and the
purchasing parties will be in Atlanta
either on Wednesday, Thursday or Fri
day to close the transaction in due form.”
It will be seen, therefore, that for the first
time we have it from the highest possible
official source, that the purchase of the
road by the company who bid off tho
lease, is an accomplished fact. >
The necessary formalities will all he
concluded this week and the property
transferred without delay.
Then we shall sec and welcome Colo

be hoped, aud under his-direction, aided
by the veteran Lane, (and if the report be
true) that railroad expert Captain John A.

Macon and Brunswick will both have
cause to rejoice. '

THE FIRKHEVS PARADE.
The Tests Arranged.
Last evening at the engine house of No.
1-, a meeting of the officers of the Fire
Department was held for the purpose of
arranging tests for the approaching anni
versary on the 15tli of April next. A very
interesting meeting was held at which the
subject matter was acted upon after full
and free interchange of ideas.
The meeting was a full one, and the
usual amount of enthusiasm was not
wanting to make the proceedings inter
esting.
The two tests determined upon are as fol
lows : The engine will be placed at the
round cistern on Mulberry street as usual.
The hose reel will be located at a point
fifty yards from the engine in.Second
street. The reel is to carry four hundred
feet of hose all ready for fire duty, and
the machine manned by fifteen runners.
Tlie first whistle will be blown when
forty-five pounds of steam have been
raised, and the second or starting whistle
when fifty pounds of steam is indicated by
the gauge. The reel will pass the engine,
one hundred feet of hose be unreeled, the
proper connections made, and a stream
of water be played fifty feet.
The second test is a new one, and will
prove veiy interesting. After the judges
have dropped the flag on the first test, th*
engine will remain at the cistern and all
connections undone. Two lengths of hose
will then he laid from the engine toward
Third street. Six men will be detailed
from each company, and at a given signal
two will make the engine connection; two
others the connection between the lengths
of the hose, and the third two will place
tlie nozzle. The company which then
throws a stream of water one hundred
and fifty feet will be entitled to the prize.
The order in which the companies will
run is as follows: No. 4 will lead off, No. 3
will come next, No. 1, No. 5 and No. 2
last. Visiting companies will have the
privilege of selecting their positions in
the contest. After consideration of and
action on some other Department matters
the meeting adjourned.
