Telegraph & Messenger. WEDNESDAY MORNING. JULY 10, 1871. Tlic Boston Post and Mr. Adams. The Boston Post took to interviewing lest Saturday and sent a reporter over to pomp John Qninoy Adams. Mr. A. was fonnd bronzed and hot from ont door exercise on his farm, which is a model in ita way; bnt he good-natnredly submitted to the process, remarking that it was about equivalent to a stump speech. As to the new departure he took it two years ago. The war enfranchised the blacks. They were whol ly unfit for it, and the misgovomment in the Southern States is a fearful impeachment of the attempt to fonnd republican government on un diluted ignorance; but the remedy is to modify it by proper suffrage qualifications. Massa chusetts refused to modify her suffrage require ments last winter though charged with disfran chising fifty thousand voters, and this was done by a legislature almost wholly repuliean. We have got far enough to show that consti tutions practically mean just what they are con strued to mean, and there is nothing in the amended constitution to prevent a toning down of the country from the dangerous rate in which we are going. The Ku-klux and election bills wore the rub; for they put into the President’s hands every power necessary to raise him to Empiro. The policy of tfie Democracy should be "equal and exact justice to all.” It should have a negro policy no more than a German or Irish policy. That is Democracy. Grant would undoubtedly be nominated and the issues of the next canvass should be based on his past administration. The Republican party, with all its patronage and discipline, can hardly carry such a dead weight. The dull incompetence and stolid ignorance of tho President, his shameless nepotism and partiality to gifts, his unblushing negligence of duty, may all be glossed over, for wo all feel kindly to the man who finished tho war; but the disgraceful incompetence of tho financial management of affairs should be unpardonable by n people supposed to be as shrowd as ours on that head. The Democratic financial policy must be squarely in the direction of free trade and a general reduction of taxation. The shameful ignorance which has persisted in wringing such enormous sums from the people at such a criti cal time when they needed all their energy to rally from the exhaustion of the war is far less pardonable in my eye than this negro policy. What is a Democrat ?—This question, says the Paris True Kentuckian, was addressed to a Democrat in a political conversation a fow days since by a "red-hot" Republican. “I would like very much to be what you call a good hon est Domocrat. Be kind enough to tell me what change I will have to undergo to become such, and how I will know that I am changed.” “Well,” replied tho Democrat, “go to some chicken-roost, and if you can pass it by without fooling an inclination to 'confiscate,'you are an honest Democrat; but if you cannot resist tho temptation to bag tho fowls, you are a Rad ical still, and have not experienced a change.” The anxious inquirer had no more questions to propound. Law or Marbiaoe.—The Sun says that in New York Judge Barnard, a short time since, affirm ed the existence of a marriage between a hus band and wife upon no other ground than that the man had introduced the woman as bis wife to a boarding-house keeper, the woman con senting to the representation, and that tho two bad, thereupon, livod together as if married, and the same doctrine has just been affirmed in Maryland. Marriage may be contracted in both St^es by a simple private agreement between parties. Tho Sun thinks this law should be nullified forthwith. How is any purchaser to be secure against claims for widow's dower, etc., etc., when men can be married and nobody know it ? _ A Bio Grab.—The Tribune, of last Friday, says that fonr members of the Oivil Service Commission before loaving Washington drew $500 from the Treasury as compensation for their services thus far, and that such draw was at the rato of $50 per day. That eminent ju rist, Dawson A. Walker, of Dalton, was one of the four ; so we suppose with that “phat take” in his poekot ho is now, par excellence, a verita ble Saul among the trewly loyal prophets. That sort of pay would convert almost any red hot fol lower of that fiery secessionist, Joe Brown, from the error of his ways. A Nkw Idea.—Certain New Orleans capital ists have rented a large iron building on Camp street, in which they propose to establish a place for the perpetual exposition and sale of goods, under the title of the Southwestern Ex position Company. They will rent space in it at a certain rate per square foot, to owners and exhibitors of machinery and eveiy species of the prodnots of art and mechanism. The lower floor is devoted to machinery—the seoond to the house furnishing department, and the third to sculpture, painting, musical instru ments and all ornamental products. Frank Leslies’ Lady’s Magazine.—We have received from Messrs. Brown & Co., the August number of .this charming serial. The illustra tions are numerous and elegant, and the mag nificent fashion plates and patterns gotten np regardless of expense will be eagerly scanned by the ladies. Tho table of contents also is unusu ally attractive, and this number will compare favorably with any that have preceded it. Call quickly and Bupply yourselves from Brown & Co. The New York papers are laughing at the last cotton pronunciamento of the Agrionltural Bu reau, and oall it as wise as an owl—an opinion as is an opinion after the minner of Jack Bnns- by. Well, let them give ns a better one. The department took a range of eight hundred thou sand bales, in order to come out right, and this shows a cautions regard for prophetic veracity worthy of all praise. Let the speculators give ns a better opinion. The Physical Cause cf Christ's Death.— The Appletons have lately republished a work which appeared some twenty-five years ago, from the pen of a distinguished London phy sician, on the physical cause of Christ's death. The author, Dr. Stroud, says that, considered as a natural event, the cause of the Saviour’s death was a laceration or rupture of the heart, produced by intense and overpowering mental agony. The “hoodoos’’ ip New Orleans this year ac tually frightened one negro out of his senses. While going through their hideous African orgies, “ dis nigger ” conceived the idea that they were going to offer him up as a burnt of fering to the devil. He broke and fled, and they pursued. He threw himself upon the po lice for protection, bnt soon showed symptoms of insanity, and was placed in the lunatic Sashe Cleaning Machine.—Tho New Or- Picaynne of Saturday chronicles the suc- al operation of ft new Ramie cleaner, as ws: e new invention for cleaning ramie has successfully tried in the presence of prac- tnen, and the resnlt is it h« given entire action. An English gentleman who came s city as agent of parties engaged in ramie re in the West Indies, upon witnessing the tions of the machine, immediately wrote i correspondents to commenoe the plant- f ramie on a large scale, as there was no the cultivation would be largely remuner- ConUUIon of Louisiana and What it Teaclics. A letter just received from one of tho profes- ors in the University of Louisiana gives a gloomy account of that Radicalized portion of the South. The writer says: "Financially and politically we are in a most distressed and em barrassed situation in Louisiana. During tho illness of the white (carpet-bagger) Governor, Dunn (a big black negro) governs the State. Both State and city are deeply, and many think hopelessly in debt. Yon aro in every way much better off in our good old State. I have lived in several States, and traveled by slow moves from the sea coast of Georgia to Middle Ten nessee, and from there to the shores of the Golf of Mexico, but after all my wonderings, I find that tho "old State” is the best, and her sons the noblest and truest.” Let ns leam wisdom from these utterances, and whilst contemplating the terrible experi- rience of South Carolina and Louisiana under the fruition of Radical principles, resolve, as a people, that no qnixotio notions, or impractica ble theories, however correct in the abstract, shall be allowed to divide ns. By the strength of her own right arm, and the purity of her sons, Georgia has risen,like a Hercules, from the blood, and ashes, and humiliation of the des perate struggle in which she won imperishable renown. Undaunted by tho presence of bay onets, and the myrmidons of despotic power, her people have vindicated at the ballot-box their right to make their own laws and govern their own soil. Soon she will be called upon again to nnite with her sisters in hnriiDg from power a corrupt and tyrannical administration. The best and most effectual means of accom plishing this great resnlt, should be the one thought and study of overy patriot Hence sound common sense, and sober, practical rea soning from the most feasible standpoints, should rule alike in primary meetings and the grand councils of the Democratic party. Tho pertinent question now is not what the South is entitled to, but what she may achieve in tho struggle which awaits us. While we should concede nothing, and sur render nothing of constitutional rights and pre rogative, it becomes ns to pursne such a concili atory course towards onr friends and the oppo nents of General Grant, as shall best conduce to their success, and tho overthrow of the Radi cal regime. This is the grand, tangible, all per vading question of the honr. The Great Saratoga Itace— Longfel low vs. Kingfisher. The Now York Commercial of Saturday re ports it as follows: Bnt the great event of the day is now ap proaching. Longfellow is brought on the track blanketed—a ham of low voices is heard, like an army of bnzzing bees, on the Grand Stand. All eyes are strained to get a view cf the noble animiL In a few moments bis jockey mounts him and he starts off on a gentle gallop, to the admiration of all present, Mr. Harper, his owner, remains quite unconoerued in his seat on tho Grand Stand. The betting, abont this time, begins to be very exciting—parties are so confident that they offer to bet $100 to $35, and several bets are taken at snch long odds. Kingfisher makes bis appearance. Ho has, np to the present time, been regarded as the fastest horse in the country. His owner, Mr. Belmont, had confidence that bo conld not be beaten on this side of the Atlantic until he witnessed the race at Long Branch. Mr. Bel mont is a cautious mau, and did not back bis horse very steep. The difference in the ap pearance of the horses is the difference be tween a clipper ship and a Dutch galliot King fisher is a noble horse, and most not be dispar aged because Longfellow is a better one. It is the old story, “every dog has his day.” We shall have another horse before long that will take the conceit out of Longfellow. Both horses leave for the starter's, which is far up tho line, the distance to ran being two miles and a quarter. In a fow minutes is beard on all sides: "They are off!” “Sit down in front!” “Hero they com,e!” “Longfellow leads!” “Kingfisher is poshing him!’’ and such expres sions conld be beard as both horses went dash ing by the Grand Stand like greased lightning. LoDgfellow took the lead from the start, and kept it all the way. Kingfisher pushed him hard for the first half mire, but it was evident to all the knowing ones that if ho conld not lap him on the first half mile there was no hope for King fisher. Indeed, the race was manifestly decided to all the horse-sharps after they had run half a milo, and some of them felt so confident of Longfellow’s winning that they ventured S100 to $20. Kingfisher was doing bis level best and losing gronnd. The distance between them remained unaltered until they reached the half mile pole, when Longfellow opened the gap to three lengths, gradually increasing the distance to four lengths as they passed the stand for a second time. Going to the turn Kingfisher struggled gamely, bnt without avail, for Long fellow got further away, leading his opponent six lengths at the quarter pole, and the samo to the half mile. Kingfisher then made another attempt to get closer, bnt without avail. Long fellow finally winning by three lengths easily in 4:02}. The first mile of the race was run in one minute forty seconds—the fastest ever run in this country. This performance stamps Long fellow the champion of the tnrf, for ho has met and gallantly defeated what was considered the ■beat four-year old in the country. There was a large amount of money lost and won on the race; the Kentucky men were large winners, and New Yorkers and others heavy losers, owing to the long odds. There are always people willing to bet even against favorites, bnt when $100 to $40 is offered it is very tempting to these men,' and many of them “fell very heavy.” Old Mr. Harper took the affair like a philosopher—not in the slightest manner excited. Mr. Belmont met him and congratulated him on having the best horse in the world. The old gentleman seemed flattered, and replied that he didn’t know abont that; he’d seen a great many sure things beaten.” , , . ■ Alabama Should Educate the People—Wo trust that Superintendent Hodgson will lay this case to heart, as illustrating the urgent necessity of educating the blacks in his native State. The case is propounded by the New York Sun: The manner in which the spoils of a recent express robbery in Alabama were divided by tho robbers, who were negroes, shows in the case of one of the parties a sad instance of misdirected intelligence. None of the gang could read, bnt after the safe was broken open Alfred Crosby tore off the ends of some of the packages, and soon discovered that the largest contained the smallest bills, and consequently the least money. Therefore, in making the division, Alfred pro posed that two small packages should count as one large one, to which the others readily ac quiesced ; and ho then took care to take his part in the small packages, thus getting a double share of the booty. It is evident that Alfred has eminent qualifications for a seat in the Ala bama Legislature. The Ku-klux Investigation.—The Commer cial Advertiser, a Republican paper, says: The Committee of Congress find it difficult to make a case against the South. The stories of wrong and outrage are generally disproved. The latest witnesses called say there is no dan ger of farther rebellion, but they do not like the idea of black domination. They represent Georgia as quiet, and the State Courts as suffi cient for restraint and punishment. They wel come Northern men, and they know nothing of the Kn-klux. Such has been generally the sub stance of this examination heretofore. It is ex pensive and laborious, and the farther it is push ed, the less is discovered. A General Amnesty would have been far preferable to, and far more beneficial than a Force BilL Congress will one day wake np to a realizing sense of this fact. The New York Riots.—The World of Satur day says: The sad events of the “Bloody Twelfth” still form the subject of universal conversation throngliout the city. The feelings excited are notably calming down, and every one is better prepared to hear the story of the “other side.” Most painfnl scenes were witnessed at the Morgue and hospitals. All the bodias except one have been identified. Five additional deaths have occurred, raising the death roll to fifty-six. Many funeral3 have taken place, and the account given of the deaths of some of the unfortunate slain in harrowing. There will be a military funeral of Private Page and Sergeant Wyatt on Sunday. THE GEORGIA PRESS. Rev. Wm. N. Avrielt, one of the oldest resi dents and most highly esteemed citizenB of Decatur county, died last Saturday. The Bainbridge Argus says crop prospects have considerably improved within the last week in that section. Sugar cane and potatoes are very fine. There is a great deal of sickness in many localities. At Upson Superior Court last week, a man was fined $30 for “illegal employment of ser vants.” The Tho mas ton Herald makes our mouth water telling about some “fat” bee trees up in that neighborhood—one ten inches in diameter with ten feet of honey, yielding 150 pounds, and two others with 14 and 18 feet qf honey, each. Jas. W. Barrett, of Calhoun, Gordon county' has, as we learn from the Atlanta Sun. just patented a car couple, by which cars can be coupled without going between them. W. M. Butts, of Atlanta, has just been elected to the high and mighty office of J. P. for the 1026th District, G. M., by 144 majority, over H. T. Holderness. Up there, J. P.’s pass for real judges, you know, and that explains the scramble. The Atlanta Sun reports considerable sickness in that city. The Sun learns, by private letter from For syth county, that at one country churchyard over ten children had been buried within the past week or two, all of whom died with flax, super induced by eating fruit The corporators of the Griffin, Monticello and Madison railroad met at Indian Springs last Friday, and organized by electing H. L Kim ball, President, Joseph H. Johnson, Secretary and Treasurer, and Messrs. J. S. Boynton, J. A. Beeks and A. D. Nunnally, of Spalding county; H. N. Byars, of Batts county; Thomas J. Smith and W. O. Leverett, of Jasper county! P. R. Thomason, of Morgan county; and J. 0. Kimball and George Cook, of Atlanta, Directors. Judge Boynton, tho chairman of tho meeting, stated that he had perfected a proposition with a capitalist who would undertake to bnild the road, provided the Directors would act harmo niously. He also stated that a bona fide sub scription of $254,700 had been received from the counties of Butts, Morgan and Jasper, and that he had no doubt Griffin would raise its sub scription to $100,000. The Lumpkin Telegraph says the corporators of tho Americas and Florence Railroad met at Preston, Webster county, on Monday of last week—it is supposed for the purpose of consid ering certain bids that have been made for their charter. It says the Central, Macon and Bruns wick, H. L Kimball and an unknown company are tho bidders, and favors the Macon and Brunswick Railroad getting it, because the edi tor thinks that company will build it, as they aro obliged to have a connection with their Mont gomery and Eufaula road. Bullock left Atlanta for New York, Monday night. Look ont, bonds! Mr. Harrison, of tho Monroe Advertiser, will commence the publication of a paper called the Indian Springs Mirror, at that point on the 28 th instant. A. C. Hodgson, of Athens, who was ap pointed to the Naval Academy, at Annapolis, from the Gth District, stood the best examina tion of 40 applicants for admission, and was elected Captain of his mess and boat. We clip the following items from tho Atlanta Sun, of yesterday: Fire in Athens—We have been permit ted to read a letter from Athens, Ga., dated Snnday, in which the writer says, the day be fore that (Saturday) the alarm of fire was sounded, to the great consternation of the citi zens of that usually quiet city. On investiga tion it proved to be what is known a* the old “Franklin House,” which was nearly destroyed. Owing to the exertions of the Are department the flames were confined to that building alone. The loss is not stated. Dr. Harrison Westmoreland, who was sen tenced to the penitentiary for twenty years for the shooting of Dr. C. L. Redwine some time last year, was released on bail yesterday—$6,- 000 being the amount of the bond—and upon which he secured the names of Peter Huge, J. Lynch, Wm. Haville and Dr. J. G. Westmore land. He was refused a new trial by Judge Hopkins, and appealed to the Supreme Court, during the pendency of which he gets out on the above bond. More Burglary—A Murderous Attempt by Robbers—A Narrow Escape from Death —Sun day night abont 12 o’clock, two negro men bnrglaronily entered the room where Walter Maffitt, a young gentleman well known as clerk at Redwine & Fox’s drug store, was sleeping. It was at the residence of his mother, in the northern portion of the city, near Peachtree street. Walter, on retiring, had put his pistol under his pillow, as usual, and when he awoke he could easily discover that one of the robbers was keeping an eye on him, while the other was collecting such valuables as he could lsy his hands upon. He had already gathered several articles of silver-ware, clothing, etc., and de posited them in the room where Walter was sleeping. While this one was in another room, the one watching him began for a moment looking aronnd, and as he did this, Walter im proved the moment to reach for his pistol—up to this time he feigning sleep. As soon as he did this, the ruffian sprang at him, and caught his arms, while the other one made several outs at him with a knife, catting his night clothes in several places. Then placing a pistol at his head, was in the act of firing, when Walter knocked it off and received the ball in his left arm, inflicting a paiDfol flesh wound. He fired at the retreating rogues, bnt was unable to tell whether he did them any damage or not. In their retreat they failed to carry off anything. The Monroe Advertiser, of yesterday, says: Severe and Disastrous Storm—The New Church in Ruins.—Forsyth and vicinity ex perienced one of the heaviest gales, about 6 r. m., yesterday, ever witnessed hereabouts. The rain storm was comparatively light, but the wind blew a perfect hurricane, and lasted some time, leaving numerous evidences of its vio lence in every portion of the town. The tall spire of the new Methodist chnrch was lifted from ita moorings and thrown down, destroying the entire roof of the edifice. The spire was not quite finished, and the high scaffolding fell with it, greatly adding to tho weight of timber that fell npon and crushed through the roof. It is estimated that repairs of the damages sus tained will cost $2,000. A portion of the front parapet of Mr. Rudolph’s photograph gallery was also blown off. As no other damage was sustained, Mr. R. may consider himself lucky. The warehouse of Mr. Moran also suffered—a considerable portion of the roof having been badly injured. It is estimated that repairs will cost about $500. Evidences of the fury of the storm are visible in every direction. A number of trees were blown down, and many branches broken off in various portions of the town. The telegraph wires were also blown down. We have no information as to the extent of country visited by the gale, but trust it was limited, as the growing crops would be irretriev ably injured if exposed to the fury of such a gale as was felt here. A Test of Broad and Narrow Guage Rail roads.—The Toronto Express says with regard to Canadian railways, we will soon have an op portunity of comparing the practical working of railways of three different gnages, the standard Canadian, 5 foot 6 inch, the standard American, or 4 foot 8J inch, and that adopted by the To ronto nai row gauge roads, or 3 foot 6 inch.— The Grand Trunk will furnish facta for the first, the Great Western, as now reduced, for the second, and the new roads from Toronto for the third of these gauges. What the ultimate result will be, what the percentage of working expenses to total revenue, on each of these roads, will not be known for some time to come, bnt we do not doubt in the least that, other things being at all equal, the narrow-gauge roads will be found to have been built, equipped, and run at a oust surprisingly below that of either of the two great lines with which they will be com pared. Put in Your Claims.—The Postmaster of Macon got a letter on Monday inclosing a one dollar bill, city money, and telling him to “buy a Barlow knife with the thing and give it to the best looking man in Macon.” We presume ap plications will be received at the department for the next ten days. Telegraphic News Dae Monday Night. As stated in onr last edition the telegraph wires were prostrated by tho storm on Monday evening, and we received only the morning dis patches. From those due during the night which reached Augusta we clip the following: Washington, July 17.—The revised census tables show the population of the States and organized Territories to be, white, 33,681,680; colored, 4,879,332; Indian, 25,733; Chinese, 63,196; Japanese, 55; total, 38,549,987. New York, July 17.—Cornelius V. L. Roose velt is dead; aged 7S years. Resolutions are pending before the police commissioners forbidding the streets to all pro cessions except military or funerals. It is stated that the late Henry J. Raymond’s interest in the Times, which was about one- third of the whole property, has been bought by the other owners for $375,000. St. Louis, July 17.—Yesterday the Mercury ranged from 100 to 105. There were three fatal sunstrokes to-day. Boston, July 17.—Butler’s readiness to ac cept the Governorship meets an unfavorable response from the Jloston journals. Wilmington, July 17.—In Robeson county this morning Lowery and his band of negro out laws waylaid and killed Daniel MurdochMcLane, a prominent citizen, and Hugh McLane, his - brother, a youth only thirteen years old. They also wounded Archibald McLane. These parties were riding along the public road in a buggy and were fired ou from a thick piece of woods. A fearful state of terror exists among the women and children of Robeson county. The Bheriff has a posse of one hundred and fifty men in the field, bnt efforts thus far are utterly fruit less. . Lowery, at the head of the loyal blaok Ku- klux of North Carolina, outwits all his pursuers and slays the whites ad libitum. Won’t he get the appointment of Collector somewhere ? From Batts Connty—Crops—Railroad Meeting. Indian Springs, July 14,1871. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I reached here yestqrday and regretted to find on the road the crops suffering for tho want of rain. The com crops ten days back, were more promising than for many years, and with rain now would make a fair average yield, sufficient for home consumption. The cotton looks better, and bet ter stands than the level and less undulating lands of Southwestern Georgia; but the size will not allow a fall crop under the most favorable cir cumstances. This has been a memorable day to tho people of Batts and Jasper counties, as they hope to date the inaugural of the Griffin and Madison Railroad from this date. I have never seen or known such fervor and excitement, as was man ifested in the Convention. A railroad they need and will have, and though I was an outsider and not easily led wild with tho excitement, could not resist the influences. I think with them— that the road will be built. The Convention eleoted nine Directors: Nunnally, Boynton and Beeks, of Spalding; Byars, of Butts; Leverett and Smith, of Jackson; Thomaston, of Morgan: and Kimball and Cook, of Atlanta. So you see they mean work, and all hands are ready to make a long and strong pull to seenre the road. Messrs. Editors, you cannot imagine tho re lief and comfort a Maconite enjoys here, after suffering from your excessive heat, dust and mosquitoes, to find a cool spot where covering is required during the night to shut out the cold. Such I assure you was the cose last night, and much did I enjoy it. The arrivals at the hotels yesterday exceeded one hundred and fifty, a large number being delegates to the Convention. Still I find the crowd pleasant and much in creased within the past three or four days. The skating and dancing rinks are open day and night, where the young and gay have a festive time. The old and more sedate have a quiet game of euchre, or retire into social groups. Now if you have an appetite for “yellow leg” chickens and delicious mutton, come to the old Indian. Yours truly, Felix. Grand Central Motel, New Tori;. It is now nearly one year since this mammoth hotel was opened to the publio. It commenced its business npon a scale of magnificence un equaled in modern times, with accomodations unsurpassed in any of the cities of the new world. In made a complete innovation in prices, combining all the elegance and comforts and ease, of at once the most fashionable and domestic of hotels, at rates that took a quick hold npon the publio mind, and which it has sustained throughout the year with unparal leled success. We record with pleasure the fact, that the patronage it has secured has been worthy its high and increasing reputation, and that its nu merous advantages have placed it in the fore most rank of the world’s enterprises. We understand that no efforts will bo sparod to make it during the approaching Autumn, the same favorite resort for families and tourists. It continues to present a freshness of appear ance, a perfectness of appointments, and an eastern splendor of beauty and elegance, in strong contrast to most of its rivals, and we predict for it for the coming year a success, as to the class and number of its guests, at once mutually gratifying to its enterprising and cour teous proprietor, Mr.jH.
