Telegraph & Messenger. FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 28, 1871. Mercer University. We invite particular attention, especially of city readers, to the address of the President of the Board of Trustees of Mercer University, to be foond in another part of the paper. The final establishment of Mercer University in this city is an event of great local magnitude, as affecting the material standing and future of the place. It will bring considerable accessions to onr population and consequently to our trade; and these secessions will be of a highly desir able character—tending to elevate the social, intellectual and moral tone of tho city. What the Universities of Edinboro’, Glasgow, Dublin, Harvard, Yale, etc., have done for their sites and surTonndings, Mercer University, in a bumbler degree, will do for Macon, in con tributing to her wealth, character and repnta tion. The denominational support to Mercer Uni versity will alone make it a very prominent, re spectable and wealthy scholastic institution. That thoyhave not done asmuoh as they should have dono for it, heretofore, was due simply to the obscurity of its sylvan retreat, which kept it comparatively out of sight and so out of mind. In tho prominence of' its new central position, it cannot fail to enlist the warmest sympathies of the numerous and powerful denomination which controls it, and when these are backed by a liberal outside support, we may confidently expect a rapid growth and development from year to year. The public spirit of Macon cannot take a wiser or more effective direction than in pro moting all tho ends of this University. Let it be aided in constructing its College edifices— in laying out its grounds—in preparing cheap accommodations for students and providing it with all material appliances of a substantial and imposing character. The people will scarcely realize that the University is hero until they see tho visible homes of science, philosophy, litera ture and religion, in solid brick and stono and mortar. Our people will see tho substantial fruits of a benefloent spirit in aid of this oollege not alone in tho progress of the city—but in the refining and improving influences which it will throw around us. It will promote a tasto for educa tion, and provide tho means to gratify it. Our youth will be inspired with a noble emulation for study and self-improvement, and with the opportunity to educate and provide for them at home the way to a liberal education will be open to the children of the poor. From Musliiiicion County. Sandeusvxixe, Ga., July 27, 1871. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: In your editorial commonts in yesterdays’ issue on the forcible liberation of Oxford from the MiUedge- ville jail, you unwarrantably assumo that it was the work of a lawless gang from Washington county. Lawlessness is no more countenanced by the people of Washington county than it is by the people of Macon; nnd as an evidence of this fact, tho summary trial and conviction of both the Oxfords, soon after they were brought here, speaks for itself. While tho citizens of Washington county, in oornmon with nil good citrzens, deplore the prevalonoe of lawlessness in the laud, they should not be held accountable for acts perpe trated by persons, whoso names nor local hab itation aro unknown. Washingtonian. We should certainly have made no appeal to the people of Washington county in this case had we not been satisfied that they ore patriotic and law-abiding, and bato disorder as much as wo do. Our assumption that the gang in ques tion was from Washington county was based on tho fact that Oxford was convicted in Washing ton county, and we inferred that his friends lived tbnre. and his personal friends mndn up the gang. But we are informed that Oxford has lately lived in Burke and Hancock, and this puts a different aspect on tho matter.—Editors. Medical Controversy. Wo have reoeived a communication from the Atlanta side of the medical ombroglio, which is temperato and courteous in its terms, and bears the impress of a candid and impartial mind. Having rejected several of a like character from the opposition, because unwilling to make tho Telegraph and Messenger the medium of an angry controversy, which would doubtless bo spun out to the length of the Atlantio cable, to the sore disgust of its readers, we are com pelled respectfully to decline the article re ferred to. Sheathe your scalpels, gentlemen, and make commoncauso against “yallor jandierd," “fever and Rger,” and all the other ills which afflict your race. It is in these that the people have a mournful interest, nnd not in the wars of the pill boxes, which bids fair to be as sanguinary as those of the roses of York and Lancaster. Wo struck the Convention in the outset, not from a partisan point, but to rebuke the viola tion of parliamentary usage and the amenities nnd proprieties of life. In that respect let the majority “go in peace and sin no more." Hold Them to their Contracts A citizen informs us that in one day daring the present week, he had not less than twelve applications for employment by freedmen from the country. Without exception, they told him they had come into town to work on the Fair Grounds, preferring a dollar a day and rations, to such wages as they were getting, or any pros pective share in the crop of their employers. We trust neither onr worthy Mayor or any private citizen will hire one of these runaways, unlesc he produces clean papors with respect to post obligations. The laws enforcing contracts cannot be too stringently executed, if we would preserve anything like organized field labor in the country. Let these loafers be arrested under the vagrant act, and remanded back to their employers. Give Him a Big Vote.—Tho withdrawal of James Fitpatrick from the race for Tax Collec tor leaves Mr. Heath to walk over the track. Now let ns show our appreciation of a first-rate offioer and good citizen by giving him a rousing vote. He deserves it, and W6 earnestly call upon all to give it to him. To Waou It Mat Concern.—We have re oeived two communications signed, respectively, “Citizen" and “Visitor," but which aro not ac companied by the real names of the writers. Our rule on this point cannot be relaxed, and the parties who sent the communications most decide themselves what shall be done with them. Magazinei.—The Rural Carolinian for Aug ust is at hand to-day—an excellent agricultural journal from which we often quote. Burke’s Magazine for Boys and Girls, August number, was issued yesterday—an ex cellent number, which will be a treat to the little folks. The attention of master mechanics and build ers is specially invited to the notice of the Mayor calling for plans and specifications of the large Dining Hall, to be erected on the new Fair Grounds. Bids will be received until noon of next Saturday. _ Fine Tomatoes.—We are in receipt of three fine tomatoes—exemplary fellows—from Mr. E. C. Greer’s plaoe in Griswoldville. The Trophy variety. A Cotton Bole.—Mr. Krentz, of this city, bronght ns an open boll of potion yesterday. “Captain” Taliaferro, Cute of the C H. A.— Another Kiulical Witness Shown Up. On the ICth of July the following dispatch wa3 fnminbed the Associated Press as an ex tract from the proceedings of the Kn-klnx Com mittee, and was published all over the country the next morning: TESTIMONY ON THE KtJ KLUX. Captain Taliaferro, a native of Virginia, a Captain in tho Confederate service, and now a planter near Macon, Miss., testified before the Ku-klnx Committee on Saturday, that within the past year in that county fifteen oolored men were killed and a number whipped. There is an organized band of Ku-klnx in that county. He had attended three or four meetings of it, although he had never taken the required oath, the supposition of those present being that be was a member of the Klan, and that he had been initiated by the Captain of the band, who can swear in members. His friends and neigh bors all belonged to the band. The witness gave the Committee the details of the organiza tion, the signs, grips, etc. On one occasion he went on a raid with the band, and was pres ent at the whipping of several colored men, bnt after that be did not go with them any more. Their object was to obtain entire con trol of the negroes, and make them vote as their leaders required. No prosecution has been or conld be instituted in that connty. No body dare prosecute. He was a witness before the Grand Jury at Oxford, and on his testi mony several members of the Ku-klnx were in dicted. The Baltimore Gazette, unfortunately for this swift witness, knows a good deal of him and is cruel enough to publish it. Synopsized it amounts to this: That he never was a “captain” at all, being only a private in Col. Herbert’s 1st Maryland regiment (0. S. A.) tho first year of the war, and was noted as the most dissipated, worthless chap in the command. At the end of a year’s service he was discharged, and after wards loafed around Richmond, dodging the conscript law by claiming Maryland as bis home. After playing ont in Richmond he loafed down into Georgia, and one of his exploits, or one at least of which be has boasted in Balti more sinco tho war, was, with others, having taken threo Union prisoners from the jail at Madison, carried them to the woods, tied them to trees and shot them to death. After the war he returned to Baltimore, and obtained employment ns salesman in one of the largest business houses of that city. While so employed he was caught obtaining goods in tho name of the firm, and appropriating them to his own nso. A part of the goods were found in a bouse of ill fame, and, of course, ho was kicked out. After he was discharged it was discovered that he had, while on a Southern col lecting tour for the same house, received money dne the firm, pnt it in his pocket, and never ac counted for it. Another Baltimore firm, in whose employ ho was for a short time, testify pretty mnehtothe same effect as to his peculiar ideas about other people’s money, and add that ho was so notoriously and sonsistenly untruth ful that they would not believe him on oath. P. S.—Since tho above was written wo have heard something else of “ Captain ’’ Taliaferro. After Sherman’s army passed through Putnam county, “Captain". Taliaferro came along at the head of a band of marauders, claiming to be Confederate scouts, and near Eatonton came up with and captured two stragglers from the Foderal army whom they deliberately murdered, ‘and whose bones were afterwards carried to the Federal Cemetery at Marietta. This fact can bo attested by citizens now living in that vic inity. All of which, wo submit, entitles Taliaferro to first-class rank and pay as a model trewly loyal witness before the Radical Ku-klnx in quisition at Washington. Nuking ia Itiver Ktiu Up Stream. This provtrbially impossible feat has boon accomplished by Chicago—greHt in all material nndflrtuVitiflo, •** in OUICBgU tf-ao founded not upon a rock, bat upon some thing little better than a morass—finding a partial drainage by means of a bayou or outlet into Lake Michigan, dignified with the title of Chicago river, which afforded the only outlet for the drainage of the city into the lake, and the only channel of approach to the city by shipping. After the city had been well bnilt, it was fonnd that its site was tod low to admit of healtbfnl drainage, and accordingly the whole city was raised block by block six feet. In this extraordinary feat the possibility of raising great blocks of brick and stone bnildings by means of jackscrews, and then of bnilding base ment stories under them, was for the first time demonstrated. Miles of such bnildings were thus raised without disturbing inmates or con tents, But, after all this was done, and a new and sufficient grade for drainage eotablished, the evil was not effectually cured. The bayon called Chicago River, received all the drainage matter, bnt having no sufficient current to car- ry it off into the Lake, became little better than a cess-pool, possessing all the contiguous waters and filling the atmorphere with fonl odors. The water from near the lake shore which supplied the city hydrants became offensive, and then Chicago bnilt an immense aqueduct leading her water supplies from a great distance beyond tho lake shore, and out of the influence of the poisonous discharges of the river. Yet, still there was the tnrbid and sluggish river with all its filthy oontents festering under the hot sun and poisoning the atmosphere—a perpetual menace to the publio health. « Among the internal improvements of Chicago however, she had constructed a canal leading from the head of this bayou or river to naviga ble waters in the Illinois river, which seeks its outlet through the Mississippi into the Golf of Mexico. This canal was twenty-five miles in length, and the Chicagoans conceived the idea of so deepening it as to change the current of the Ohioago River up stream, and through this canal make Lake Michigan an affluent of the Mississippi and the Golf, instead of the St. Lawrence and the Atlantic. Accordingly, they obtained legislative authority for the project, and a week ago last Saturday the work was all completed. In the presence of an immense oonconrse of people the waters of tho filthy river were let into the deepened canal, and the people held their noses and looked on in admiration. It took a long time to snbstitnte the clear blue water of the lake for the filthy fluid of the river, but eventually the last dark streak of filthy water disappeared, and a current of two miles an hour was established up the Chicago River, which it is believed will keep everything fresh and pare. Tlie llouroe County Fair. Wo haT6 complimentary tickets to the Mon roe Connty Fair next Saturday, and wonld be represented there, bnt as two of onr number must attend the Alnmni Meeting at Athens, the other one must stay at home and keep the mill going. We are requested to print the follow ing letter: President's Office ) Macon and Western Railroad, >• Mac in, Ga., July 26, 1871. ) S. D. Mobley, Geo. A. Cabaniss, Jno. IL lhimly. Commiitee: Gentlemen,—I have given the agents at Barnesville, Griffin and Macon instructions to issue tickets to yonr Fair, on the 29th inst., at one fare, and this privilege will only be allowed persons from these places, and Conductor Vivan has snch instructions. Very truly, A. J. White, President. The story that Attorney-General Akerman has gone to address Lowery’s band of Kn-klnx ne- THK «EOR«!U PRES8. The Colnmbns E iquirer says corn in that section is made, and the crop is large. Cotton has improved greatly, of late, but the opinion is that the crop will be short at least a fourth. The Enquirer says: North and South Railroad—Work at Last —Something Definite and Certain.—Messrs. Hammond and Davis will arrive here from Enfaula on Sunday s boat, with their force, and will commence work at once on the North and South Road. Mr. F. Hazlehurst, a brother of CoL George Hazlehurst, will reach here with his force on the 29 th inst., so there is do longer any doubt about this great enterprise being under way by the first of August. We will hear the whistle of the locomotive on the North and South before November next. The Central Railroad has subscribed §5,000 to the capital stock of the Savannah Industrial Association, and will, it is believed, increase its subscription to $10,000, if the City Council will subscribe that sum. It strikes us that there ought to be more harmony between the size of the chimneys and that of the chimney sweeps down at Savannah. The way they have there of pu’lrng out the big sweeps who get stack in small chimneys by a rope tied to one of the sweep’s hind legs, is rather rough on that class of onr fellow-citizens. A sailor fell from tho second story of a house at Savannah, Wednesday morning, but being full of whisky, his carom on the bricks below had no serious results. A snffrnge-slinger named Israel Cohen, is in trouble at Augusta for showing too great par tiality for a lot of fine brandy, soap and per fumery belonging to Dr. W. H. Tutt, of that city. Israel’s tastes are certainly commendable, whatever may be his moral instincts. The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Wednesday, says the dam at the Langley Factory will be rebuilt, and the factory commence work again within thirty days. The Cartersville Standard has this centre shot: Murder—Bigamy.—To have rendered val uable services to the cause of the Union duiing the late war, or in support of the reconstruction acts of Congress since, either of which is val uable service to the Union in Radical parlance, is sufficient to authorize the happy individual thus circumstanced to murder or marry to his heart’s content. Governor Bullock, when' he pardoned John A. Long for the cold-blooded murder of Mr. Echols of Gordon county, among other things, said aioaasons moving his Excel lency to executive (^Hency, that the .said John A. Long had rendered valuable services to the Union cause. Radical morals may recognizo the fact of being a scalawag os a sufficient atonement for the mnrder of innocent and nn- offending citizens ? If so, be it that way. GeD. Grant, in his pardon of Bowen, the nnmerously wived individual, recites as reasons moving the compassion of his Excellency that he has ren dered valnable service to the Union. We have always believed that to be a scalawag was pun ishment enough for ordinary offenses, bnt we did not know till assured by high authority, that it was an atonement for muder and bigamy. A correspondent of the Valdosta Times tells a pathetic story of a little child, three and a half years of age, who wandered from its home near Homersville, one day last week, and was lost for three days and nights, during which time there was a severe wind and rain storm. The correspondent Bays: The alarm was made and the settlement com menced gathering to tho place, continuing to hnnt all Saturday night. By Sunday morning about fifty persons had gathered and searched diligently all day, bnt fonnd no sign. They scattered about and lay out all night, but could hear nothing. Monday morning tlio search was continued, persons still coming in to assist. About one or two o’clock on Monday the first sign was fonnd—where wo supposed it lay on Saturday night about one and a half miles from the place it left. It had lain all night in the mud and water. This revived our hope, and all hands started with renewed vigor, expecting and hoping to find the child every minnte. Late in the evening more sign was fonnd, where it had crossed a thick branch some fifteen or twenty ■ , «»n in water, and gone into a field and ronnd an old vacant house, ify this time dars had come. Mr. Smith had provisions sent in the woods and all lay in the woods again. On Tues day morning all started ont again andabont one mile from the lost sign fonnd, and abont three and a half miles from Mr. Smith’s, abont one honr by son, Mr. Thomas F. Morgan fonnd the child, several yards in a thick bay, hnng fast by the clothes in bamboo briers, about half thigh deep in water where it had stayed all night, it was very weak and scratched np with briers. We find tho following indictments in the last Griffin Georgian. It certainly seems to de mand an investigation by those having authority in the premises: An Officer who Does Not Attend to ms Business.—The revenue law requires that per sons distilling fruit should give bond to the amount of §500, conditioned that the distiller will “faithfully comply with all the provisions of law and regulations in relation to the duties and bnsmes8 of distillers, and shall pay all pen alties incurred or fines imposed on him for a violation of any of the provisions,” eto. We learn that the penalty on failure to give bond before beginning the business of a distiller is six months' imprisonment and a fine not ex ceeding $5,000. N. Sellers Hill, the Assistant Assesor of this District, who resides at Macon, has made no provision whereby those of this section who may desire to give bond and obtain license can do so. His objects in not making any provision for the obtaining of snch license we presume is his desire to reap all the emolu ments without being at the expense of hiring a a man to attend to the duties in this section. The consequence is that but few are able to give bond and procure license; and some are prevented from distilling by the penalty which is held as a terror over their heads. The way the affair stands, so far as this section is con cerned, the law amounts to a positive abolish ment of the right to distill fruit, as-the fruit season will soon be over. We are not particu larly an advocate for the business of distilling, yet we are not aware of the passage of a law preventing people from going into that business. As it now stands the law is prohibitory in several cases. If Mr. N. Sellers Hill cannot and will not afford those who may wish an opportunity to procure a license, it seems somewhat oppressive, to say the least. Mr. N. Sellers H. is the man of raiding notoriety, and delights in burning and tearing np still houses. We presume he belonged to Sherman’s army and has never been able to check the propensity for burning, con- oontracted while on its march through Georgia. A Mr. Hargiss, of Kingston, was robbed of §1,000 a few nights since. Mr. EL L Couch, of Kingston, is putting up a fine hotel at that place, and will call it the H. I. Couch House. The tax returns of Bartow county for 1871 show taxable property to the amount of §3,429,- 804—an increase of $105,000 over last year. Oa last Friday Mr. Joseph Pittman, of Madi son connty, while ont hunting, was shot and killed by the accidental discharge of his gun. Characteristic.—The Montgomery Adver tiser says: We heard it said yesterday that a prominent Radical, of this city, not long ago left the bed side of his dying child to join in, and parade with a negro possession! When he returned he fonnd the little sufferer a cold and lifeless corpse. If there is anything the average scillawag or “thieving carpet-bagger” won’t do to keep his nose in the swill tub, we haven’t the slightest conception of what it can possibly be. Bnt, this story puts him below the brute level, or rather he puts himself there. And yet these, and snch as these, are the favored representa tives at the South of the Grant administration. The Ku-klcx Witnesses,—A World dispatch says the responsibility of interfering to delay and prevent the attendance of witnesses sum moned by the Democratic members of the Ku- klux Committee, as narrated in yesterday’s World, is at last assumed by Judge Poland, the acting chairman, thus relieving entirely the Ser- geant-at-Arms of the Senate. Rev. O. P. Gadsden, Rector of SL Luke’s Church, Charleston, died on Sunday last, and How tne Khedive of Egypt Failed to Establish Ills “Corps Logislaiii.” Colonel Jas. M. Morgan, formerly, of South Carolina, bnt now an officer in the service of the Khedive of Egypt, arrived recently at New York, and was straightway tackled by a World interviewer who reports results in a late issue of that paper. The reporter asked the Colonel how the laws of that country are made, and the Colonel answers the question by telling tho fol lowing story: Well, when the Viceroy returned from France he called his prime ministers together and said: 'In order to have a great country we must have a legislating body,” and he made known his plans. Delegates were selected from various districts, and luformed they must be divided in opinion; that every measure should be debated, and the minister who called them together said: “Now, all who favor the government will stay on the right, those who oppose it will eross to the left, and those undecided will remain in the centre.” No sooner was the division called than all the delegates made a rush for the right. There was no opposition or no medium party. “This won’t do,’’ said the ffimister “there must be an opposition,” and he called to him an old sheik named Ibrahim, and said: “You must lead the opposition.” “What is it?” said Ibrahim “Well, when the Govern ment introduces a law yon must protest and argue agaiust it.” “Hum,” said the sheik, “then if the Khedive says he wants so and so, I am to say no, you shan’t have it.” “Yes,” said the minister. A jovial smilo lighted np the tanned leather face of old Ibrahim; he shook his head and said: “None for Sheik Ibrahim; too much bastinado.” After a time, by liberal bribery, an opposition was established. One day when the minister, Hasam Bey, was absent one of the opposition violently opposed a meas ure of the Khedive’s. A Government member from Panta jumped up and moved that the op position member be bastinadoed for treasonable conduct. The motion was carried, and the re cusant Egyptian was knocked down and basti nadoed on the floor of the house. That was the last session of the Egyptian Corps Legislatiff. That sort of government wonld suit Grant and his party exactly. We understand now lyhy such a representative man as Beast Butler’s nephew was sent to Egypt. Gen. Sherman and the Next Presidential Election.—Gen. Sherman’s idea of the next Presidential race and its result is set forth by an interviewer from the Commercial Advertiser, as follows: Reporter—“Do you think it polioy to elect Grant again ? General Sherman—Of course I do. Why not? He knows the ropes now—ho has become ac quainted with tho duties—acquainted with thou sands of public men, and ten thousand good-for- nothing White House bummers who would do nothing but harass a now President for the first year. Ha has jnst got where he can tell a good man at sight Humbug men always get the bestcredentials; every Congressman signs their recommendation at sight, and many of them deceive a new President. These party frauds are now pretty much played ont, and Grant is enabled to deal squarely with true men. Ex perience and acquaintance is the stock in trade of a good President. “Who will win in ’72 ?” “There is no question in my mind,” said the General, enthusiastically. ‘Til bet on Grant against the field—two to one.” “Who will run against him?” “There won’t anybody run; but, not being a politician, I can’t guess for a moment who will bo nominated.” Platforms.—The Savannah Morning Nows says with soiho force and justice: The day of political platforms is passed. Res olutions of political conventions aro no longer regarded as embodying the principles of politi cal parties, bnt as cunning devices to deceive and betray the people. Since the Radical party at its last national convention solemnly declared that the suffrage question was one belonging to the States alone, and immediately after enacted laws taking the control of the matter from the States and giving it to Congress, no one will pnt faith in Presidential platforms. In the coming Presidential election the ques tion of the perpetuity of onr form of Republi can government will be submitted to the peo ple—the issue will be Democracy, the constitu tion and State rights, or Radicalism, centrali- ■r.fian or,a despotism. The decision rests with the people, nnd will not be influenced by the platforms of intriguing, anumiug . A string of resolutions a mile long could not broaden the issues between the two parties in tho next Presidential election. reSSIGNEES PER 31. A W. It. It. July 27,1871.

Water good. Grounds covered with shade, both natural and artificial. On the place is a great quantity and variety of frait, inclu ding a vineyard.
