■' WHAT WE SAVE BY XT.
No man can overrate the advantages
this 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
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
1878, footed up 538,326,499 francs.
These military expenditures are not
only a dead annual waste, showing no re
turn beyond popular demoralization, but
worse still, they are very inadequately
represented by the figures of actual ex
penditures, for 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bodied men withdrawn in their prime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 : 6f things, 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

ecutive Committee at one time formally
decided that the Society would hold no
fair during the present year. The reason
given was the apathy manifested by tlie
City of Macon, and the general indiffer
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, has 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 all the energies and productions of
the commonwealth upon the State expo
sition once in two years, then we most
heartily concur in such a course. Indeed,
tlie Telegbaph was the first to make
that suggestion several years ago. But if
♦he refusal to hold a fair was really predi
cated upon the lukewarmness of our citi
zens, then we should prove that they are
mistaken by prompt and most energetic
action in the premises.
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, and
ever after continue to deal in this market.
Strangers, too, learn ■ the character and
importance of our city, and carry away
with them pleasing recollections, and kind
words for her people. It is thus that trade
and immigration are attracted Jiiti*- > ‘*“ u .
no one knows how inn'* 1 ' •'* our P resen ^
prosperity miv be due to the general
ad verfi'- ujent growing out of these fairs,
~side from their direct and positive benefit.
We hope, therefore, as the question
still an open one, that oar 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 lias actually made a formal application
to have the Fair transferred to that city
next fall. This is somewhat startling,
after the treatment the State Exposition
received last year at her hands, but
shows how wide-awake and enterprising
are the people of the Georgia Hub.
It is to he hoped that nothing more will
be needed to rouse to action the dormant
energies of our citizens on this unportant
matter. What they do must be accom
plished quickly also, as the final decision
of the committee will be announced in
very short time.
ties-.-ias will relieve the Governor
from all personal responsibility, while
the purchasers will possess every reasona
ble security that the great commonwealth,
of Georgia which has spoken at the ballot
box, through her constitution, and by the
voice of the Legislature, will protect them
in tho enjoyment of the property which
will be conveyed to them bona fide.
We feel constrained thus to defend the
peopla of Middle and Southern Georgia,
while at. the same time not calling in ques
tion the fact that our contemporary hut
uttered what he believed to he the truth
from such sources of information as had
been received.
Governor Colquitt and the Late Sale
of the Macon and Brunswick
Hood.
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 liis downfall, can invent an objec
tion or frame a remonstrance to his action
in tlie matter of the Macon and Brun
swick road. The road is leased on the
exact terms proposed by the State. It
leased to the company that the section
most interested lias indorsed with blind
unanimity, and it is leased without the
Governor"having taken steps that the wi
sest counsel in Georgia decided he 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 con
cerned, it never took issue with the Gov
ernor on the propriety or honesty of his
several acts, but 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, however, 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. At every halt in
the proceedings, instead of the decorous
sympathy or the quiet advice to which
he was entitled from those who really
wished to see tlie State’s interests subserv
ed, lie was assailed in the prints and out
of them, and storms of intrigue and protest
hummed about his head until it was
miracle that he could keep his wits at all.
His private character even was assailed
and worse things were threatened. That
some of this tumult was the result of hon
est fear and uneasiness on the part of the
people cannot be doubted. But that
much of it was fanned and inflamed by
parties at interest appears to be equally
true. ”
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 injury of
our chief magistrate. Some, too, did
speak hastily and imprudently concern
ing the matter, after it was announced
that the lease had failed for lack of the
Governor’s signature to the warranty
title. But to say that the people of South
ern Georgia generally “assailed” the pri
vate character of our worthy Executive,
or that there was any “tumult” to be seen
or heard anywhere, is simply a mistake,
Brunswick, it is trne, became a little ex
cited, bat Macon 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. •
Long and faithfully had they labored
in behalf of this enterprise so dear to
them, sending forth her best sons armed
with full authority, and all tho pecuniary
backing at their command to achieve the
desired lease. When, therefore, in the
very blush of anticipated victory, it was
announced by “wire” that all their super
human efforts had proved “loves labor
lost,” no wonder that the “reaction”
should have caused them to speak out
with.- feeling and emphasis. But unless
in exceptional instances there was no 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 ain-
fiderice. We are assured from a reliable
source that tlie Governor has effe'eted an
arrangement with Messrs. Wilson, Cduper,
Lane & Vo., which Is entirely satisfactory
to all parties. 1 ..
Central Railroad Stock—Why it has
Risen to Far.
The Savannah News prints a lengthy
and sonsible article on the.probable reas
ons that have caused the stock of the Cen
tral Railroad and Banking Company with
in a few weeks to mount up from about
75 to par.
Our worthy contemporary thinks that
while the “manipulations of the balls,”
and speculative demand may hare had
somewhat to do with this extraordinary
advance, it may be dne also to the abund
ance of money in the country and the sat
isfactory status ot our present financial
condition. > But it goes on to say:
The inain and most Important reason of
all why. the stock has steadily advanced of
late is the solid and prosperous condition
of the road itself. By Colonel Wadley’s
last report it was shown that the net earn
ings of the Central last year were about
eight per cent., and Colonel Cole, in his
dispatch to Mr. Stevenson, regarding the
contract he had made with the Central,
stated, officially, that it had made over
seven per cent. net. It is well know*
also, that, so far this year, the , na f
done a better business tho*-. niadast
year, and 'we are joined by parties
who claim . of what r the - v
that the business of
Ocean Steamship Company—controll
ed by the Central—alone last year
would pay 2 per cent, on the capital stock
of the road. It is further evident that tlie
future prospects of this line are most en
couraging, for as the cotton and other
crops increase, so must the L business
tberoad proportionately increase. This
is the chief and most substantial reason
for the stock being regarded as 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 the road itselif without any
regard whatever to the recent combina
tion with the Louisville, Nashville 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 give countenance
the rumor that the grasping Standiford
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
seeking to gobble up the old Csntral 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 2
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
Georgia or in the Central farther than
far as they can make of the latter
profitable source of speculation. As 1
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 utter au emphatic
Amen; provided the policy of the road
shall be changed (as we learn it will be)
so as to abolish all odious local discrimi
nations and be run in the interest of all
the towns and cities on its route, without
partiality, favor or affection, to any. This
would 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 been indulging in sun
dry sketches of Georgia’s delegation in
Congress- We append what he says of
our immodiate representative and Senator
Gordon :
Colonel Blount is a very valuable mem
ber. . I have been struck with his weighty
influence 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 he would
not run aiiy more. It is. all a mistake.
He lias made ho declarations on the sub
ject, and come to-no conclusion. Such
men as Blount ought to be kept here.
General Gordon has a very fine stand
ing here aiid a broad influence. Tlie re
spect for Gordon is strong and general.
In the ^departments and in Congress he is
equally esteemed as a representative of
the people, able, conscientious, eloquent,
zealous and withal prudent. Senator La,-
mar, of Mississippi, has returned and is
looking remarkably well. ■

Sturgeon-Salmon.
An article copied from the Beaufort (S.
C.) Netes reminds one_painfully of how
mnch this world is given to sharp practice.
The News reports that seven Cape Cod
fishermen, under command of Captain
Andrew Berkman, are busy with seines
capturing sturgeon in the Combahee
river, and meeting with great success.
They have been at work in the Combahee
only a few days and had captured eighty-
one fish weighing from 175 to 375 pounds
each. Assuming an average of about 250
pounds, here were over twenty thousand
pounds of stuigeon quietly secured by the
gills and waiting shipment to New York
by steamer. TV hen they were shipped
their heads and tails were cut off—the
fish disembowelled, skinned and packed
in ice, and in a few day’s time they were
all repacked in tin cans and labelled
“salmon” which, the News went on to
say, they so much resembled that the diff
erence was inappreciable. For this use
they were worth in New York seven
cents a pound.
But Captain Andrew Berkman and
the crew of seven stout Cape Cod fisher
men, at Combahee, had not reached the
middle of their salmon campaign. They
had begun the fishery in Florida and
gradually worked their way up the coast
as-the season advanced. They expected
ti) leave the South Carolina rivers about
the 1st of April, and then move north
ward slowly, lingering in the Delaware
Bay, and finally bringing up oft the coast
of Maine in midsummer. The previous
week they had shipped 500 sturgeons from
Savannah—that is to say, a hundred
thousand pounds. So that the supply of
“canned salmon,” never saw the

Activity in Railroad Bmldiner.
It is asserted that from 7,000 to 10,000
miles of railroad will be built in the Uni
ted States this year. The Southern Pa
cific, the Texas Pacific, the Utah North
ern, the Northern Pacific, and other short
er lines, are all hard at work extending
their roads, and many of tho older roads
are relaying their tracks. A New York
industrial journal, commenting upon the
wonderful activity in railroad building,
estimates that if only 6,000 miles of new
road are constructed, the sum of $25,000,-
000 will be expended in the purchase of
iron during tlie current year.

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 tho canvass, and the longer tlie
third termers range the field without the
excitement bred of a party opposition can
didate, tl:e longer the people will have to
consider tlie proposition on its merits.
The New York Sun is strongly possessed
by the idea that an old fashioned party
nominee and canvass will certainly elect
Grant. Whether there be anythin;
that idea or not—a third term is absolute
ly abhorrent to all American traditions
and usages, and there ought to be time to
discuss it in the abstract,dirested of the per
sonal and extraneous prepossessions and
prejudices which will spring up with the
selection of an opposition standard-bearer,
whoever he may be. The third term is
an experiment. It may be received with
eclat, and then again il 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 same 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; Georgia, 750,000;
Alabama, 725,000; Mississippi, 975,000;
Louisiana, 600,000; Texas, 900,000; South
Carolina, 350,000; Tennessee, 225,000;
Arkansas, 350,000; Virginia, Missouri
and Illinois, etc., 50,000. This cotton
will probably average to the producers
and middle-men, in round numbers,about
$275,000,000. Of tills vast sum 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.
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;unin-'
structed for Blaine, 115; total, 123. Un
instructed and preference unknown, 34.
It will be seen that Grant will liave a ma
jority of 60 over all nr opposition
*r.d undeclared delegates, and no intelli
gent observer of events need be told how
Senator Conkling will wield the power
the party has given him in the Conven
tion. He will declare for Grant in such
manner as to compel all to elect between
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.

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
is, domestics, aiid girls employed in

wrestling witli the world for a living to
say nothing about a home.
1' Parlor Heading.
How delightful is the innocence of
childhood. What a scene of loveliness
was presented at the Mulberry Street
Methodist Parsonage. last night on tlie oc
casion of a parlor reading by the children
of the Sunday-school. How like a sun
beam. each little child appeared. The
suipmor, 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. The 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 tbe par
lors of |be,bopitablft parsonage:
Tlie Baron’s last Banquet—Sidney
Wiley and Florence Roberts.
Tbe Unfinished Prayer—Mary and Ge
nie Cobb: • '•
Little Wcemic—Hattie Rogers. 1
“Once I -was a Baby”—Daisy Badger.
Baby Fingers—Katio Martin.
Oiir Choir—Florence Roberts.
Tyrolese Song—Ruby and Georgie
Jones.
„ Little Golderihair—Mary Cobb.
1 Bernardo del Carpio—Blanton Win-
sliip. j
“Mamma says I mustn’t”—Lizzie Man-
gliam. 1 "•
“Mice at Play”—Emmie Burr.
Mary of Argyle—Madgie Lou Roberts.
Parody on the Burial of Sir John Moore
-Richard Hutchings.

“Happy as a Birdie”—Daisy Badger.
• Lulu’s Complaint—Gertrude Roberts.
Song—Ruby Jones.
The Dead Doll—Ida Mangham.
My Grandfather’s Clock—Solos by Flor
ence Roberts and Lizzie Mangham.
Where all did so well, it is difficult to
particularize, so we desist. Tlie 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 lier energy and ability. The
moderate admission of only twenty-five
cents was charged, and quite a handssme
sum realized.
We but echo the wish of all present
when we say—Children, repeat tlie per
formance, for it was an occasion of enjoy
ment and a night of wonderment.
Cancers and Stammering: Can be
Cared.
It would be well for allin this com
munity and vicinity who are afflicted
with either of the above distressing and
life-long maladies, or have scrofulous tu
mors, wens, moles, etc., which they would
have removed, to consult Dr. Moses with
out further delay. His stay in Macon is
limited to the 15tli of March, and there is
no time to be lost in the premises. Re

truth of the Doctor’s skill. Office, La

Mutilation of Coin.
Complaint is general about 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 he awakened some of these
mornings by some arrest and indictment.
No doubt much of this mutilation is the
work of children—done with no evil intent
whatsoever—done simply fo convert a coin
into a medal; but nevertheless tlie United
States statutes make it a very grave of
fense. * Section 5,459 reads as follows:
Every person who fraudulently, by any
art, way or means, defaces, mutilates, im
pairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales or light
ens tlie gold and silver coins which have
been or which may hereafter be 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 a3 money within the Uni
ted States, shall be imprisoned not more
than two years and fined not more than
$2,000.
A Well Managed Enterprise.
Tlie Commissioners of the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad on the 24th instant,
paid an additional $40,000 into the Treas
ury of the State from the earnings of the
road. This makes the handsome total of
$90,000 that has been covered into the
coffers of the Commonwealth since the
adjournment of the Legislature last sum
mer. We are reliably informed also that
tbe managers have on hand a reserve am
ply sufficient to meet every outstanding
demand against tlie road, and still leave
a considerable margin to be paid to the
State after the present month’s collections
have been received. The Commissioners,
and tlieir General Superintendent, Colo
nel G. W. Adams, will enjoy the proud
satisfaction, in surrendering their trusts,
of having faithfully discharged then* duty
to the people; and all will admit that their
stewardship forms at least one proud ex
ception to the general rule, that no public
interest can be economically and wisely
managed by tbe State.

Difficulties in the Lesseps Canal.
Tho 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 np the canal
in a single season. A canal through the
New World isthmus must he cut through
or under a chain of mountains, so that the
conditions for constructing canals in the
two isthmuses are as different as can well
be Imagined. Unfortunately, M. De Les
seps approached the consideration of the
Panama floods and rocks after having
committed himself to the practicability of
overcoming them, and his surveys will
not have the effect of immediately con
vincing the public that he has hit upon
the best possible route for a caual between
the two oceans.
Now that .public attention has been
directed to the interoceanic "canal prob
lem, the 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 has hitherto received compar
atively little attention. The Isthmus of
Panama is one of the most unhealthy
places in the world, and enjoys tlie rare
distinction of fumishtng a specific dis
ease. The Panama and Chagres fevers
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 fevera 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-

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 Rrunswick
railroad, to this eftect:
“Tlie 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 hid off the
lease, is an accomplished fact.
The necessary formalities will all be
concluded this week and the property
transferred without delay.
Then we shall see and welcome Colo
nel Hazleliurst again in our midst it is to
be hoped, and under his direction, aided
by the veteran Lane, (and if the report be
true) that railroad expert Captain John A.
Grant, the extension will go on apace and
Macon aud Brunswick will both have
cause to rejoice.

TIIE FIREMEN'S 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 15th 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.
The 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 very interesting. After the judges
have dropped the flag on the first test, tha
engine will remain at the cistern and all
connections undone. Two lengths of hose
will then be 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
the 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. 6 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.
