SUNDAY MORNING. JULY 9, 1871.
“Labor Reformers.”
The last cartoon of the Hearth and Home
represents a pack of loafers ronnd a bar-room
door talking about “labor reforms.” They are
down oil John Chinaman,aDd no donbt would hate
about as badly to be underworked by any other
race of mortals. There is nobody in the world
so sennitive abont the “rights of labor”—the
“dignity of labor” and the “dangers of labor”
from the remorseless exactions of capital, as
the man who subsists chiefly on loafing and
sponging.
That is a Northern phase of the matter; but
it has also a Southern aspect. We never hear
or read lamentations abont the scarcity of labor
and the increasing worthlessness of negro
labor, without some serious thoughts on the
amount of labor lost by idling in Georgia. If
the whites of Georgia would all pitch into hard
work, they would be happier, healthier, and
richer by about forty millions of dollars a year
than they now are. And why ? Because they
would not only gain their own labor, but would
lead, inoite and stimulate the labor of all their
dependents and employes. They would make
industry fashionable and idleness a reproach.
The veriest idlor—white or black—would at
length be shamod into better habits by the ex-
amplo of everybody around him; and lounging
by one’sself, without company, isa dull business.
We have tried both kinds of life in Georgia
and further South, and unhesitatingly assert
that a man can belter sustain summer's heat and
winter’s cold under the excitement of active
physical exertion in the open air, than by lolling
around in the coolest place and easiest chair he
can find. There is nothing in the climate of
Georgia, certainly, which should hinder a healthy
man from any kind of physical labor with reason
able precaution and care; and there is nothing
so debilitating—so uttorly prostrating to mind
and body—as a life without purposo or plan
save “to take the world in the easiest way.”
That kind of life is worthy only of the brute
creation. The God of nature endowed man
with reason, energy and ambition in order that
ho might plan worthy designs for his own moral,
mental and social elevation, and carry them out
with vigor, perseverance and sagacity. When
a man conceives such plans with regard to him
self and his family—and with respect to his
farm, workshop or warehouse, he is living in
harmony with his own conviotions, winning the
approbation of his own conscience—earning
his own self-respect—and this moral and men
tal satisfaction and excitement contribute large
ly to his physical well being. But the idler and
dawdler is a burden to himself and necessarily
a bore to all around him.
A Model City.—The World insists that New
York, instead of being the Pandemonium and
Sodom, which it is the fashion to call her, is in
truth the best governed city in the United
States. There is no doubt that since New York
has been reinvested with the control of her own
a flairs an immense improvement is visible in
every department of her government. Great
energy, intelligence and efficiency are displayed
in the management of her public interests. The
late message of Mayor Hall, accompanied by
exhaustive roports from every department of
the municipal government, produce a profound
impression on every reader that all her public
Tho Atlanta City Council has reduced the
interests are directed with extraordinary skill,
judgment, precision and vigor, and her police
system is as thorough, systematic and vigilant
as it can well be.
Tins Suez Canal.—Tho Journal of Com
merce says intelligence, by the last English
mails, tends to confirm tho cablo report that
sand is filling up the Suez Canal. The London
Times prints the extraot of a letter from the
captain of a screw steamer (unnamed) saying
that, with n draught of only 17$ feet forward
and 20$ aft, she grounded no less than 31 times
in the canal. For the last 15 miles she was in
tow of a tug with two pilots in charge, and not
withstanding those precautions and advantages,
she grounded seven times. She was three days
and nights going through the canaL
A June Frost.—Tho Milwaukie (Wiscon
sin) News says on Wednesday night, June
28th, a frost, more or less severe, occurred
throughout the eastern and northern part of
the State. We have no notice of it from the
central and western sections, and it was there
probably lighter, if it formed at all. Some dam
age must have been done, though probably the
wheat, which is a hardy plant even if it is In
the milk, was not injured to any great extent.
Bad For. Georgia.—Tho St. Louis Times of
last Thursday saya : “The prospects improve
dnily for a heavy corn trade from Georgia, South
Carolina, Florida and Alabama. A number of
citders, some of them for fivo thousand to ten
thousand bushels, have been received within a
day or two, and advices are that the supply for
many sections of the Slates named will have to
be large until the new crop is made.”
Another Canal Run Drt.—On the 4th in
stant the Wyoming Canal, near Wilkesbarre,
Pa., suddenly disappeared through a crevice of
fifty feot in its bottom just over the Bnrrough's
coal mine. The casualty floods three mines,
andl will, of course, stop all canal transporta
tion and much coal mining until a false bottom
is fdjustod to the canal, and an immense body
of r rater pumped out cf the mines.
The Alumni Meeting, Friday.
The Alumni of the State University resident
in Macon and Bibb county hold thoir second
meeting on Friday afternoon, Col. John Rath-
erford in the chair and Mr. N. M Solomon act
ing aa Secretary.
The first business in order was the report of
the committee cf five appointed at the previous
meeting, which was read and adopted. It is as
follows:
The committee appointed by the late meeting
of the Alumni of the University of Georgia
residing in Macon and vicinity, beg leave to
submit the following report:
Whereas, the present dispersed and isolated
position of the numerous graduates of our State
University renders concert of action and co
operation for the good of the institution impos
sible ; and whereas, it is believed that the fre
quent re-union and close intercourse of old com
rades will tend to strengthen and cement the
tics of friendship, and inaugurate a new era of
fellowship and good will between the children
of our common Alma Mater,
Resolved that a permanent organization be
formed this day of all the Alumni of this city
and the surrounding counties, for such purposes
as may be agreed upon in the constitution and
by-laws thereof.
2. That the members of this association cor
dially approve of, and will all endeavor to attend
the approaching Alumni festival at Athens on
the 31st inst., and earnestly recommend every
graduate of the institution to be present.
3. Resolved, That we re commend tho Alumni
Association of the State, at its approaching an
nual meeting, to memorialize the Legislature
of Georgia to make such an appropriation for
the University of the State as shall be commen
surate with its wants, and tho great interests of
popular education.
4. Your committee urgently recommend that
proper and speedy measures be adopted, by
which the liberal grant of land donated by the
General Government to tho State of Georgia for
educational pnrposes may be secured and ap
propriated for the establishment of an agricul
tural and mechanical department and college,
in connection with our State University.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

John J. Gresham,
W. D. Williams,

H. H. Jones.
Mr. Lewis, from the committee appointed to
ascertain what facilities would be granted by
the railroads to visitors attending the commence
ment at Athens, reported that the State Road,
the Central, the Southwestern and Macon and
Western had replied, that they would carry and
return passengers to the commencement for
one fare. The Central Railroad requires as a
condition that the visitors over its road to return
free, must have the card or endorsomement of the
Chancellor of the University. The Macon and
Western Railroad will sell tickets for one fare
through to Athens and return, if the Georgia
Road will consent—for which consent Captain
White writes he has applied.
The following resolution offered by Judge
Jackson, was adopted unanimously, and him
self and CoL Samuel Hall, both members of
the Board of Trustees, appointed a committee
to present it to that body at its next meeting at
Athens:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this Asso
ciation that the Alumni of the University should
navo a direct voice in its government, and we
respectfully request the Board of Trustees, at
its next meeting, to consider the propriety and
feasibility of giving practical force and effect
to this expression of opinion.
The meeting adopted the following constitu
tion formed by the Alumni Club at Athens, and
organized an Association, to be called the
“Alumni Association of Macon,” electing CoL
John Rutherford, President, and Mr. N. M.
Solomon, Secretary. Mr. James A. Nisbet was
appointed to read a paper at the next meeting
of the Association of the character pointed out
in Article five of the Constitution.
I. Name asd Officers.—The name of this
Association shall be, The Alumni Association
of Macon; and its officers shall consist of a
President and a Secretary.
II. Its Objects.—The objects of this Asso
ciation shall be to promote the prosperity of
tho Alumni Association of the University of
Georgia, in Macon and its vicinity—first, by
cultivating a social and scholarly fellowship
among its members; secondly, by collecting
such statistics and facts of interest as may con
tribute valuable information to the Records of
the Alumni Association; and, thirdly, by oper
ating in such other ways as time and experience
may suggest for the advancement of the aims of
the Alumni Association.
III. Members.—The members of this Associ
ation shall he composed of the regular gradu
ates of the University of Georgia, of any who
are members of the Alumni Association, and of
such as may be voted honorary membership in
tho Club.
IV. Meetings.—Two meetings shall be held
during the year, viz.: One on the first Wednes
day after the third Monday of June, and the
other on the first Wednesday after the third
Monday of December.
V. Liter art Contributions.—At each meet
ing of the Club, a paper shall be read, contain
ing Reminiscences of College Life, or a Memoir
of a Deceased Alumnus, or a Sketch of Georgia
Life and Character, or an essay on any other
topic having a special interest for the Club.
This paper shall bo prepared by a member ap
pointed for the purpose at the meeting previ
ously held, t-nd it shall be considered the prop
erty of the Club.
VI. Reports.—An annual report, drawn up
by the Secretary and signed by the President
shall be sent to the Alumni Association.
Our space prevents a fuller account of the
proceedings of the meeting, though the work
done is fully set forth above. New let there be
an nnanimons second of Judge Jackson’s resolu
tion by the Alumni when they meet at Athens,
on the 31st inst., and we shall see how quickly
results follow upon united, earnest action.
The magnificent hedges of box, and the
quaint Dutch gardens, excited also their admi
ration. After viewing the Hone Park, they
were received by the Earl and Counteas of
Shrewsbury in the grand family dining-hall,
hnng with portraits, arms, flags, and pennons.
The Earl of Shrewsbury, in a most oordial
speech, bade them welcome to England and Al
ton Towers. Sir Knight W. F. Tudor, of New
Orleans, made an appropriate response for the
pilgrims to the earl’s address. They were then
escorted by the chaplain through the picture,
gallery, the noble library, and the state apart
ments of the castle, after which they joined the
Countess of Shrewsbury and witnessed the
ceremony of the awarding of prizes by her lady
ship at a grand flower-show of the oounty.
T.se Livet-pool Cotton Market was excited
Saturday evening. Sales 20,000 bales, and mid-
dlirg uplands quoted at 9$. This makes the
rise idnoe the 9th of June just a penny. Cotton
was streng in New York, and middling uplands
quoted at 21$, but held higher. There were
sales of 3,000 bales, chiefly of cotton in transit.
A letter came to this office on Saturday, di
rected to Mr. Joseph Chisbrey, (as near as we
can make cut the superscription.) It was post
marked Albany, and was returned to the Macon
post-office, after having been opened, under the
erroneous idea that it was intended for the
Senior editor.
Terrell Superior Court.—We received the
following dispatch yesterday afternoon:
Dawson, Ga., July 8, 1871.
On account of conflict with the Supreme
Court, Judge Harrell has adjourned the session
of Terrell Snperior Court, which was to have
been held on Monday next.
J. C. F. Clark, Clerk.
Don’t But Hat.—It is a dry time again in the
hay counties. The crop of New Hampshire is
reported a third to a half short of last year,
when the crop was very light. Save com, fod
der, pea forage and field grass.
A week of dry weather in Macon has made
corn and garden vegetables show signs of great
distress. They don’t like violent changes any
better than other people.

sumption, Wednesday night.
Of crops, the Columbus Sun, of Friday, dis
courses as follows:
Crops.—Work as planters will, they cannot
get grass out of cotton. Good showers have
fallen every day of this week. On the river
plantations laborers are being hired at the rate
of 75c and $1 per day, and still the grass holds
the ascendancy. The prospect of a quarter of
a dollar per pound does not kill it very fast.
On the uplands crops are passably clean; but
the present weather helps the grass more than
cotton. The crop is several weeks backward.
Here it is in July and we hear of farmers show
ing cotton blooms as curiosities. This report
is general throughout this section. Com has
suffered much, but there will be a large yield.
It can be hurt but littlo now.
Perry celebrated the Fourth by attending a
Sheriff’s sale of notions and fancy goods at the
Court-house, and discoursing about a crazy ne
gro in the jail, who thinks he is King of Congo,
tears up his clothes to wrap around his head,
greases himself all over with his meat rations,
and then invites the jailor to have some.
One of the Brown family—J. R. by name and

munitiss have our sympathy.
The Houston Home Journal says the Tele
graph and Messenger is in error in stating that
Hunt, the man who was recently appointed
Collector of Revenue for this district, lives in
Tennessee. It says :
Hunt, who is said to have been a Major in
the United States army, lives in Houston. He
came to this county in the early part of 1870,
was appointed census taker, was elected tax re
ceiver last December, tried to be elected county
school commissioner, made a bid for carrying
the mail to Fort Valley, and now weeps, like
Alexander tho Great, because there are no more
offices to fill.
Of the prospects of the Hawkinsville and Fort
Valley Railroad, the Home Journal writes en
couragingly, as follows
The Railroad.—By the communication of
President Duncan last week, we learned that
work on the Fort Valley and Hawkinsville Rail
road will be commenced as soon as the route is
located and the right of way secured. There
will bo no difficulty, we suppose, in obtaining
the right of way; and two or three routes have
already been surveyed, so all that is to be done
is to decide which one is best. The Central
Railroad has acted in a most liberal manner to
wards ns, and deserves our heartfelt gratitude.
Notwithstanding the complaints that have been
made against the managers of this Road, the
people of Houston will be indebted to their lib-
erality for a railroad which we could not have
had otherwise. When we hear sneers cast at
'King Wadley,” and loud complaints at the mo
nopoly, extortion, etc., of the Central, let us
remember what they have done for us, and give
them the best defence we are capable of mak
ing.

According to the Chronicle and Sentinel, of
Friday, a Greene county fisherman ought to go
head. Ho caught four snakes, the other day,
in less than half an honr—all with a regular

twenty in less than ten minutes once, and he
shinned up a bed post to do it, too.
The Augusta and Columbus papers report
heavy rains in that section last Thursday.
On the principle of going from home to hear

The West Point Shield says com crops were

We clip the following from the Atlanta Con
stitution, of yesterday:
Heavy Draw on the State Treasury.—His
Excellency Governor Bullock, on the 5 th, signed
an Executive warrant in favor of E. C. Murphy
and M. W. Rasberry, for $0,000, for services in
detecting the murderers of Judge Fish.
Gave Bond —We learn, from Sheriff Harris,
that Foster Blodgett has, during the present
week, given bond in the sum of $5,000 to an
swer the charge of larceny after trust. A. L.
Harris was his bondsman. The papers were
not given to the sheriff until last Saturday
night, so he informs us. V. A. Gaskill is ab
sent from the city, but before he left, endeav-
ered to get the matter fixed up, but the sheriff
did not have the papers at the time.
Second Baptist Church—At the regular
meeting of the members of this church last
night, action was taken upon the letter of the
Rev. Dr. Brantly, tendering his resignation as
the pastor of the church. A letter was read
from the church in Baltimore, stating their un
willingness to release Dr. Brantly from his ac
ceptance to a call from them. A motion from
Mr. J. H. James was unanimously carried to ac
cept Dr. Brantly’s resignation, which is to take
place the 1st September.
Templars on an Immense Frolic.
Something must be done for the Knights of
the Temple. We have reason to fear that they
are getting too frolicsome—too jaunty—too ex-
cursionistical, so to speak. They ought to stay
at home and be models of all the domestic and Kenan and his father Col. Augustas H. Kenan
social virtues, but instead of that, they “get in
a weaving way and spend their money free.”
Since the Georgia Knights of the Temple set
that evil example of going to Atlanta on a week’s
frolic, and, in the halls of the High Kimball
House, danced all night till broad day light and
went borne with the girls in the morning, and
actually got so merry that they had to be put to
the test of traveling on an air-line—to see
whether they could do it or not—we say, since
that time, their evil example has spread, and
now we see that a large party of American
Templars have crossed the ocean, and, on the
4th of July, visited, in a body, the Earl of Tal
bot and Shrewsbury, (with a dozen other titles
thrown in) at one of his castles called Alton
Towers, in Staffordshire, and are even going to
extend their jolly pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
A special to the World of the 5th, gives this ao-
connt of the matter, which, we dare say, will
make tho Georgia Templars sorry they were not
there too, instead of grieving over their erring
brethren, as they should do:
As the pilgrims approached the stately man
sion, they were delighted by the spectecle of
the American flag floating proudly side by side
with the banner of the ancient house of Talbot
over the towers of Alton They were first mar
shaled through the noble vestibule, filled with
portraits and trophies of the Talbots through
live centuries of English history, into the family
chapel. In this spacious and beautiful cbapel,
designed for Catholic worship by the last Cath
olic Earl, but now arranged in harmony with
the requirements of the Protestant worship, the
pilgrims heard divine service performed by the
Earl’s chaplain, who united the names of the
Qneen of Great Britain and the President of
United States in his prayer, for the first time
probably on English soiL
After divine service was over, the pilgrims
were shown through the famous and spacious
gardens of Alton Towers, the finest of their
kind in England. They were particularly en
chanted with the incomparable show there made
of American plants, with th9 profnsion of aza
leas and rhododendrons in the finest possible
condition.
Eafanla Natters.
The Bluff City Times, of Thursday, says one
of the contractors of the Montgomery and Eu-
faula Railroad is camped within the corporate
limits of the city to finish up the last mile of
this important road.
The same paper says there have been heavy
transactions of real estate in Eufaula within
the past week or two, notwithstanding the scarc
ity of money. We are glad to see the Bluff
City moving onward and upward. Success to
her. The Times is delighted with the transfer
of the Montgomery and Eufaula Railroad to
the Macon and Brunswick, and anticipates im
portant local benefits from the change.

LAHDRETH’S TURNIP SEED.
Warranted Crop of 1871.
Macon, July 7, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and, Messenger:—I notice
your “remarks” of this morning in regard to
my misunderstanding the meaning as to the
amount of rain to be expected dnring the re
maining six months of the current year. I quote
from your article: “To comprehend the sig
nificance of these figures, let ns reflect that we
have had, according to this statement, in six
months of 1871 within seven and a half inches
of a fall ordinary supply of rain for a whole
year. A foil average supply for this latitude
would be 40 inches.” Now I think a plain,
common-sense interpretation of the above ex
tract is just what I have represented it to be,
viz: That under ordinary circumstances we are
to expeot bnt seven and a half inches of rain
for the remaining six months of 1871—forty-six
inches being the usual fall per annum. Pro
fessor Barnwell claims forty-seven inches as the
ordinary amount due per annum at Athens, and
says that my rain guage should score fifty-six
inches at Macon. Now the average fall of rain
does not depend entirely on the latitude of a
city or section of country. The altitude is a
very important consideration in calculations of
this kind. I suppose Athens and Atlanta to be
abont the same level, say 1,050 feet above tide
water. The old court-house square in this city
is 317 feet above tide water—a difference of 733
feet—a very important item. Athens is 85 miles
north of Macon, according to Batts’ map, and
35 miles farther from the sea coast. When all
these facts are taken into consideration, nine
inches (Professor Barnwell’s difference between
Macon and Athens,) will not be very wide of the
mark. I am confident that he will be rather
under than over this year. Speaking of Pro
fessor Henry’s remarks on this subject, it is my
opinion (a very presumptuous one, no doubt)
that there has not been a year in the last ten
that we have not had at least fifty inches of rain.
Veiy respectfully, J. M. Bqabpman.
The Journal of Commerce parapbases the

were generally known throughout Georgia, and
as many, no donbt, desire to know the particu
lars of the late tragedy resulting in the death of
Captain Kenan, we give the following faots,
which we believe are entirely reliable:
Capt. Kenan and Mr. Strother, who had pre
viously been friends, had a difficulty of a purely
private character several months ago. Abont
six weeks ago, Capt. K , having heard that Mr.
Strother bad threatened to kill him, procured a
double barrel gun and shot at S. twice, neither
charge taking effect. Friends interfered, and
Mr. Strother denying that he had ever made
snch a threat; both parties were induced to
sign an instrument in writing, pledging them
selves not to renew the difficulty or interfere
with each other, except to have their differences
adjusted xn court.
Messrs. Strother and Kenan lived within two
hundred yards of each other and on the out
skirts of the city. They were both seen about
sunset, Monday evening, 3d inst, going toward
their homes. Strother was on the side of the
street on which both lived. Kenan had two or
three bandies of goods in his arms which he was
carrying home. On the way Strother stopped
at the house of a relative, and got a rifle which
he had left there. When near the Executive
Mansion, Kenan took his usual path across the
street to his house, and in doing so was ap
proaching Strother, and when within some fif
teen or twenty feet, Strother leveled the gun
and fired, the ball passing through Kenan’s
chest, killing him almost instantly. He did not
live more than fifteen or twenty minutes. As
he fell he, looking at Strother, said, “John,
what did yon do this for?”
If Kenan gave any other cause for the shoot
ing than ia given above, we learn that it did
not come out at the coroner’s investigation.
Slrother has not been arrested, as he cannot be
found; .but his friends say he will appear for

from its use. No danger from an overdose—chil
dren all love it.
Messrs. Jas. Ruddle 4 Co—Gentlemen—It gives
me great pleasure to say, after using all the other
worm remedies known to me. with but partial suc
cess to my children, I was advised to try Dr. T. A.
Hurley’s, and since using it, my children have be
come qnite well and healthy. The children would
eat it all the time, (it is so pleasant,) if we wouM
let them. I believe it is one of the best and safest
remedies known, and as snch, recommend it to one

Is the remedy, par excellence, tor all dise«sfs
arising from Debility, Disordered Stomach, Lo>»
of Appetite, Torpid Fever, Indigestion, and all
kindred ailments, where a gentle and permanent
stimulant is required. It fortifies the system
against the trying effects of changes of climate and
seasons and invigorates and vitalizes failing natore,
and is a sure preventive of Chills and Fever.
To James Ruddle 4 Co., Louisville, Ky.
Gentlemen—This is to certify that I have been
for years a sufferer, and tried all the tonics I have
heard of or seen advertised, with little or no relief
from any one of them. I heard Hurley’s Bitten
very highly spoken of, and tried a bottle, with little
faith in it before I commenced, and to my surprise
and joy, before I finished one bottle I felt a great
deal better, and firmly believe that on one or two
occasions, it was the means of saving and prolong
ing my life. I conscientiously recommend them to
all sufferers as the best Bitters known, and advise
them always to ask .for Dr. T. A. Hurley’s, and
have no other.
You can use this as you think proper, if it will to
of benefit to others- Yours, truly, etc.,
