Telegraph & Messenger. 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. James A. Nisdet, John J. Gresham, W. D. Williams, - A. O. Bacon, 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. If your enemy annoyeth yon, give unto his children many bunches of crackers, and so ful fil the law of love. At a Missouri pic-nic Mr. Witcher stabbed Mr. Reeves, and the remainder of the company hanged Mr. Witcher. kins. Turner, of San Francisco, lately inter viewed a panther. She called it “a moment of emotions.” THE GEORGIA PRESS. The Savannah Republican copies, without credit, Chancellor Lipscomb’s letter to the Alumni, the manuscript of which was furnished the Telegraph and Messenger for publication. Two. Who comes next ? Greenbacks have played out in Albany. Some say ditto for Macon. Hi Kimball fur nishes the currency at Albany. George Welsh has succeeded J. J. Newton as assistant postmaster at Savannah. Newton is now hopping around enquiring for his head. The Columbus Gas Light Company contents itself with a semi-annual dividend of four per cent, this year. Such moderation oertainly de serves public mention. Thos. Scroggins, a one-legged Confederate soldier, and a citizen of Columbus, died of con 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 trewly loyl by nature—who hails from Alabama, has sub-let the contract for carrying the mail between Perry and Fort Valley, to a colored brother, named Jim Davis. The afflicted com. 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. That “sure pop” illuminator, gasoline, came very near treating Americus to a first-class fire, one day last week. 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 hook and line. We knew a man to catch at least 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 news, we clip the following from the Chronicle and Sentinel, of Friday: Whisky has become such a Sunday article of traffio in Macon, that the Mayor says either the rum mills or himself will have to resign. A man was garroted at Savannah, last Tues day night, and robbed of $50. Harris county has gone $50,000 in money, and no end of land on the Columbus and Rome Kailfoad. The Savannah papers give Mr. George St Clair a free advertisement as a first-class swin dler. He represents himself an agent of Mc Alister, a showman of some sort, is an English, man, about 20 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches high, smooth-faced, and speaks with a broad English accent We find the following in the Atlanta Sun, of yesterday The Killing of Capt. Lewis H. Kenan— Full Particulars of the Tragedy.—As Capt ia his life he had ever been so. Just think of a man living to that age without knowing how good ice water was before breakfast! The Mayor, very properly, was immensely disgusted, and fined him $10. John A. Neece, formerly of Leavenworth, Kansas,' but a resident of Atlanta, for the past three weeks, died on Friday. The West Point Shield says com crops were never known to ba better in that section, and cotton prospects are rapidly improving. 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. Judge E. M. Keels addresses the Senior of the Telegraph an exceedingly didactic and reprehendatory letter of five mortal pages, which he wants printed. The Senior knows nothing about the Judge or the grievances al lnded to, bnt will turn the letter over to the edi torial author of the article complained of when he returns to the city on Monday next.

Attention, “ Devoted Brothers.” The editor of the Tennessee Tribune, after hearing Greeley’s lecture on “Self-made Men,” and taking him as a specimen, thinks if he can’t make better men he had better quit the business—Mobile Register. The Tennessee Tribunejnust not rob a witty woman. The remark was first made by Mrs. General Fremont. Fremont commanded in Missouri; the feud with the Blairs was at its top. Mrs. Fremont was in Washington looking after her husband’s interests. The Blairs were seeking his removal. Mrs. Fremont and the elder Blair happened to meet in the private of fice of President Lincoln. Nettled with her tenacity and perseverance, Mr. Blair remarked, “This is no place for ladies; you should be in St. Louis. Here we make and unmake men.” “Sir,” she replied with a smile, “I have seen some men of yonr making, and if yon oan do no better, I would advise you to quit the busi ness.”—Galveston News. 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 recent California Democratio Anti-Chinese re solution, thus : “Whereas, Some of the trade unions of Cali fornia, on the one hand, and all the idle and aissointe classes of both parties on the other, hate the Chinese: therefore Resolved, That to catch their votes, we de clare every Chinaman a nuisance, and advise that he be kicked out of the State immediately.” 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 trial at the proper time. The Atlanta City Council has reduoed the tax on billiard tables from $120 to $G0 each. The Atlanta Sun says the new Methodist Church at Warrenton was dedicated last Thursday, Bishop Pieroe officiating. A man, between fifty and sixty years of age, was up before the Mayor of Atlanta, Thursday, on the charge of a square drank, and plead to be let off on the score that it was the first time The Siamese Twins.—The Raleigh Telegram, of the 4th, says one of the Siamese Twins is lying at the point of death.
