ICaUlciiI Conservatism.
W« aro sorry for the philosopher of the Tri
bune. So long in advance of the advanced col
umn of advanood politicians, bis wind has given
out at last, and he begins to talk about “ can-
Mraatsak" Ho alashes away manfully at wo
man’s suffrage as well as the advanced doctrines
about divorce, matrimony and froelove. He
can’t abide communism, nor the right of “free
labor" to prohibit any man from making a labor
engagement to please himsolf. He despises
carpet-baggers. He refuses to endoreo the Fed
eral bayonet convention. He shakes his fist
fiercely but impotenlly at the party drill ser
geants who sternly prohibit all discussion about
Grant's renomination; and, to sum it all np in
a word, a few moons have sufficed to pnt the
philosopher among the stragglers at the extreme
tail end of the advanced column, staggering
along through the hoayy sand under a burden of
“conservative’’ scruples, while the main column
of lightfooted and prodatory forces are fast
loaving him out of sight. True, ho says, the
Tribune shall “ holler for them” anyhow, no
matter where they aro and what doing; but it is
dry business to drop the baton of a leader and
take np the insignificant role of amero clacquer.
We aay again our sympathies are stirred for
the philosopher, and wo would fain offer a word
or two of consolation. Let him reflect, then,
in the very naturo of things, his case cannot bo
singular. Whoever, in that “advanced col
umn" has a single patriotic or conscientious
scruple to bo awakened or a stomach of com
mon sense to bo offended, is bound sooner or
later to sjiaro his fate. The “advanced col
umn" can’t stop. It must go ahead on and on,
down the facilis Descensus Averni road, and is
necessarily bound to attract and embrace every
extremity of folly and of crime, or lose its
ltadical position. It can never suffer itself to
be ont-radioalized; and therefore wo cannot
imagine an adherent not ntterly foolish and
graceless who is not bound in time to be run oil
bis legs and drop to the rear like Hr. Greeley.
Itlnkely Extension of Southwestern
Knilroml.
We bad tbo pleasure of a call yesterday from
Mr. Barnwell, of tho firm of J. A. Maxwell &
Co., who have the contract for tho construction
of the entire lino of the above branch of the
Uonthwestern Railroad.
The very names of these gentlemen are suffi
cient guarantees for the speedy and entire suc
cess of this enterprise. Major Maxwell is iden
tified with the railroad interests of Southern
Georgy. A practical and skillful engineer,
thoroughly versed in all tho details of bis pro
fession, it is fortunate that his services have
been secured by tho Central Railroad for this
important undertaking.
Mr. Barnwell also is from one of Carolina’s
favorite families, and wo are glad to welcome
him to the soil of Georgia. Ere long the work
will coiumeuce and be prosecuted vigorously to
an early completion.
Verily it does seem that soon every division
of our noble Slate will be within ear call of the
whistle of tho locomotive. Well, railroads are
great developers of natural resources, and if
the people can face the musio and pay the cost
of construction, ours will indeed bo a great
country. Iluppily in the present instance the
“great monopoly” only will bo called upon to
shell out, and whatever be the sequel, nobody
can be hurt.
Koutl Locomotive* at tho Fair.
Among the attractions of the Georgia Stale
Agricultural Fair to open in Macon on tho 2.*Sd
of Ootober next, will be at least two traction or
road engines. One of these will be tho “Thom
son Road Steamer," recently imported by Mr.
Wadley, and which baa been noticed at great
length in these culamns. The other will be
the “New Patent Road Locomotive,” manufac
tured by Messrs. Aveling & Porter, of Roches
ter, England. This locomotive took the first
prise of £50 and a silver modal at the Wolver
hampton meeting of the Hoyal-Agricultural So
ciety, of Bogland, last July. This engine will
be exhibited by Mr. Herbert K. Brown, agent
of the patentee, at Maoon, who has already
Hold one of them. The contest of comparative
power and efficiency will be very interesting.
Tub Resident Republican Executive Commit
tee are actively distributing tbo documents pre
pared and published by them in the States
where elections are to be held this ensuing fall.
These documents include the splendid review
of our national finances recently issued in Eng
lish and German; General Sherman’s speeoh at
Columbus Ohio, with Siuthem Democratic
comment* on the "neu> departurealso, a re
view of tho land grant policy in English and
German, and a record of anti-slavery legislation.
They are also preparing a careful review of the
KU'klnx, with a tabular statement of the crimes
committed by it during the past two years, and
a brief summary of the principal facts establish
ed by the evidence taken during the past six
months.
The above is an extraot from the Washington
telegraphic correspondence of tho Philadelphia
Pross. Tbo Atlanta Sun el id omne genu*—
which being freely translated means all those
Democratic newspapers that prefer to repeat
the imbecility of 1868, and give the Jacobins
four years more of deviltry at Washington rath
er than tho election of a Democratic President
in 1872 —will please copy.
Kxat.—We havon't seen a neater job of scalp,
ing in a long time than the fallowing from the
World of Friday. The trowly loyl thieves must
buy wigs, now. Says the World:
A fine set of thieves these fellows are who
are forever plunging tho country into hot water
with their tales of Kn-Klux outrages. In the
old slave States occur 91 out of the 291 revenue
defalcations confessed by Secretary Bontwell,
and of the twenty odd millions admittod by him
as stolen, $(5,789,721 95 are to be put down to
the score of thoso same persecuted patriots. A
flue picture it makes of Southern outrages,
these dry figures, telling how government func
tionaries steal wilhboth hands, bawling mean
while at the top of their lnngs “Ku-klux!”
Globe Insurance Ooxrm.—On Saturday
last we bad a call from J. Henly Smith, Esq., of
the Atlanta Sun, and learned from him that his
business was to take tho necessary preliminary
steps to paying the life risk of tho Globe Insur
ance Company of New York upon the late Geo.
M. Lagan, Esq. It will be paid in a few days.
Mr. Smith advertises for the right kind of an
agent of the company in Macon.
The NLum Georgians were registered at
the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, on Satur
day, the lGth instant: S. M. Siesel, Maoon;
Judge Erakine and daughter, Atlanta; Mrs. S-
B. Lunar and son, and Miss Lamar, Georgia;
S. P. Sanford and wife, Macon; W. F. Her
ring and wife, Augusta, and Miss Ogiiby, At
lanta.
Pollard.—Says the New York Commercial
Advertiser (Had.):
Mr. E. A. Pollard, whose long eclipse the na
tion fondly hoped would prove perpetual, once
more malignantly roappeirs and announces his
intention of publishing a new work to be called
‘‘The Lost Curse.” The selection of suchatitle
for the book leaves ns no room to doubt that it
is Mr. Pollard's autobiography.
Check!
A linnet which escaped frornM cage in New
Bedford, Mass., about a year ago, reoently re
turned and began feeding its mate through the
bars. It soon became so tame that it allowed
itself to be again caged, and appears to be happy
Jn confinement.
Massn Sreelcy on Female Suffrage,
etc.—He Refuses to lie tlic Cit^di-
UHte ol the Crowing Hens.
This venerable fanner has recently address
ed a letter to Theodore Tilton, editor of the
Golden Age, on divorce, remarriage, woman
suffrage, and more especially the difficulties
that lie in the way of his becoming tho candi
date of the crowing hens for President. He
says that while ho does not deny that persistent,
flagitious adultery of the husband or wife af
fords good ground for divorce, transient infi
delity to marriage vows under the influence of
passions inflamed by wine or other unnatural
excitement should not, if repented,be adequate
reason for divorce. Tho doctrine of remar
riage of those widowod by death should be gov
erned by circumstances. In most cases where
couples aro happily united it will be better in
higher life if neither were married a second
time on this planet.
His letter concludes us follows, and if any
body has over had any donbt as to the real
meaning of the word “sockdolager,” let him or
her read the last paragraph of the extract and
be fully enlightened:
I have but two left of seven children, and
these are both daughters. I would gladly fit
them for lives of usefulness and honor, as be
loved and loving wives of virtuous, upright, no
ble men, and mothers, if it shall please God,
of good, healthy, happy, children. If it be de*
creed that they are to be not such women as
thoso I have most admired and reverenced, but
men with a female physique—powerful in ward
caucusses and nominating conventions, vehe
ment in sennte and on tho stump, and effective
before juries in the trial of actions for crim.
con.—I pray that my career on this globe shall
close before theirs is fairly begun. When and
whore they shall thusshine, it will not be pleas
ant for me to stay.
Mr. Editor, I believe onr countrymen are in
debted to you for having discovered (perhaps I
should say invented) me ns a possible (though
most improbable) candidate for the Presidency.
Allow mo, then, to thank yon for your early and
frank demonstration, and to say that I can in
no contingency be counted on or hoped for as
a woman suffrage candidate. As you forcibly
and justly say, there is not even a remote pos
sibility of my ultimately adapting myself to the
end. My differonco with your crowd is too
vital, too radical, to permit the most sanguine
dreamer to hope for my conversion. I am
growing old; my opinions are tolerably firm,
and the advanced female of the Laura Fair type,
who kills the paramour of whom she claims to
be the rightful affinity, and gives the lie in
open court to the wife she has doubly widowed,
is my pet aversion.
Bat why should any man be the candidate for
Presidentof tho Woman Suffragists? Logically
and consistenly, I feel that their candidate
should be a woman. She ought, moreover, to be
one thoroughly emancipated from the “absurd
ity and folly,” the “narrowness,” and the “balo-
ftil conservatism,” which I am now too old to
outgrow. Could yon not find one who illustrates
in her own person snd history what yon so felic
itously term “the liberal thought of sn enlight
ened sge ?” Let her be one who has two hus
bands after a sort, and live in the same house
with them both, sharing the coueh of one, but
bearing the name of the other (to indicate her
impartiality perhaps,) and cause and candidate
will be so fitly mated that there will be no occa
sion, even under the most liberal, progressive,
onlightened regime, to sue for their divorce.
Could not ono of this class bo persuaded to
overbear her shrinking modesty and nominate
herself ?
In a sprit of hearty hatred for Free Love and
all its infernal delusions,
I remain yours, Hobaoe Greeley.
Tribune Offico, August 7, 1871.
Visible Supply of Colton.
The table of visible supply furnished by tho
New York Chronicle, of Friday night, is as fol
lows :
1871. 1870.
Stock in Liverpool bales 680,000 568 000
Block far London 88,840 26,141
Stoek in Glasgow 1,000 800
Stock in Havre 93 380 153,780

Afloat for France (American
and Brazil) 15,612 18,178
Afloat for Bremen(American) 8,300 ....
Total Indian Cotton afloat
for Enrope 663,406 512,255
Stock in United Stales ports 137,095 94,702
Stock in inland towns 14,734 20,120
Total 1,848,253 1,495,553
These figures indicate nn increase in the cot
ton in sight to-night of 355,700 bales compared
with the same date of 1870.
This shows, as we suspocted, an error of four
hundred thousand bales in the report of Indian
cotton afloat for Europe in 1870, which our tel
egrams of Sunday set down at 112,255 bales,
instead of 512,255. The cotton excess varies
very slightly. On the 28th of July the reported
inerease of cotton in sight was 353,229 bales.
Tho Chronicle reports new cotton coming to
market this season nine days earlier than last
year in Louisiana and seven days in Texas.
The remainder of the cotton belt without ma
terial change. The thermometical average of
the week was 90 at Galveston, 88 at Selma, 89
at Montgomery, 83 at Mobile, 84 at Columbus
and Macon, 83 at Charleston and Memphis.
Weather was very dry at Galveston and cotton
reported to bo shedding. At New Orleans,
there was too much rain. It rained three days
at Mobile and Columbus and five at Macon.
Tho Southern Political Situation
Discoursing upon the “Colored Element ” i
Southern politics, the New Orleans Picayune
writes a column upon the impossibility of di
viding the negro vote in the Sontb, and insists
that parties in this section will be permanently
divided by color. Without committing ourselves
to this conclusion, the Picayune's ideas will bo
interesting to the reader. Says that paper:
Whatever other changes occur, the negro
voters in solid mass will continue their support
of the Republican party. All effort and argu
ment to change them will bo simply thrown
away. Their enthusiasm may wayue and they
may and must be disgusted with their white
allios and leaders. In their lukewarmness they
may sometimes refrain from voting and in some
oases personal sentiment may overcome party
prejudice, but ns a body negroes are and must
be supporters of tho Republican party.
Not only must negroes adhere to the Repub
lican party, but throughout all the Southern
States they mnst constitute tho main body of
the party. In onr State there is not one white
Republican to twenty negToes, nnd the propor
tion will decrease. The settled and steady ten
dency is towards a strict division of colors. The
time is comiDg when there will be in Louisiana
no colored man opposed to the Republican par
ty, and when tho whites will be nearly unani
mous in opposition. Hence we conceive it to
be a waste of labor for politicians to attempt to
draw off the colored vote of the South from
their party.
And, again, says the Ficaynne:
The colored Republicans of Louisiana are
getting their eyes open, and they are no longer
willing that the white vnlgsr fraction of one-
twentieth of tho party shall have nine-tenths of
all the honors and emoluments. As soon as
this feeliDg is shown fully in action, white men
will cease to join them for the sake of profit,
and those who have joined them from that iacl
tive will soon leave them. The natural and
necessary action of the colored element is to
repel admixture with the white element The
self same force which agglomerates all negr >es
in one party mnst drive out white men. so that
in all States where colors are nearly balanced
we may expect to see a solid colored party on
one side and a corresponding white party on the
other. In all the States where the negroes con
tinue to outnumber the whites they will rule.
Iu all States where they number only a third or
two-fifths of tho voters their bare presence is
enough to insure the constant and inevitable
defeat of their party. Politically, negroes are
an element of strength only where they are in
a majority.
It is said that the rapidly increasing popula
tion of Minnesota, by destroying the timber and
tilling the prairies, has 60 changed the climate
of that State as to make its value as a sanitarium
for consumptives exceedingly doubtful.
THE GEORGIA PRESS.
The ignilion of a naptha lamp at Augusta,
Saturday night, astonished the negro woman
who held it very much by not exploding and
sending her to “kingdom come.” It conld not
have been the genuine stuff. 1 hat never misses
fire.
Mr. Fontaine, near Cartersville, has a com
field of fifteen acres, the ears of which will
measure sixteen inches in length, and yield of
which is estimated at fifty bushels per acre. It
is of the “Long John” variety.
The “railroad war” threatens another break
out, at Augusta.
The remains of the late CoL Rudler reached
Augusta Saturday, and were buried Sunday
morning.
Tho Chronicle, of Sunday, says there was a
stampede from the Aiken hotel last Thursday
morning, caused by a report that a child of one
of the boarders had diptheria. The report
turned out to be without foundation, however.
During Saturday and Sunday, two inches of
rain fell at Savannah, and several houses were
flooded.
There are 32 public schools, with 39 teachers
in Hall county.
Tho Griffin papers complain that rust is mak
ing its appearance in tho cotton fields of that
section.
A letter addressed to the ugliest man in At
lanta has been sent to the editor of one of the
papers there, but we are tantalized by the non
publication of his name.
Mr. Milner, of Forsyth, holds a full hand.
He is acting Ordinary, acting Clerk of Superior
Court, makes up the Tax Receiver’s returns,
and does all the writing in the Sheriff’s office,
The Advertiser says he plays it jndgmatically,
too.
Fairbum, Campbell county, flaps its wings
and crows over the fact of having sold 13,000
dozen eggs within the past twelve months.
Tho Monroe Advertiser, of Tuesday, says:
The Weather and Crops.—Oar planters have
experienced several delightful showers during
the past week, and most of them are rejoiced
thereat. It is generally expected that cotton
will be greatly benefited, and corn to some ex
tent, as the result. Fodder pulling has been
progressing rapidly and a good supply will be
saved.
The Constitution, of yesterday, has the fol
lowing :
FntE.—Tho store of Mr. Daw£on, on Peters
street, was destroyed by fire yesterday morn
ing, with a heavy stock of' goods. An
other building, empty, was also destroyed.
Mr. Dawson’s loss is heavy, and we believe not
covered by insurance. The Hook and Ladder
Company mbs the only fire company that went
to the spot.
Another State Road Case—A Big Leak
Discovered !—Sixteen Thousand Dollars this
Time.—On Saturday warrants were issued for
two parties at the instance of Foster Blodgett
for misappropriation or embezzlement of pub
lic funds. We called yesterday on Notary Pub
lic B. D. Smith, who issued the warrants, bat
could obtain no information except that the
parties had given bond. The fact3 appear to
be these, as far as we conld ascertain: One of
the cleiks under Blodgett, while he was absent,
was authorized to purchase railroad supplies.
It is charged, we are informed, that about $16,-
000 worth were paid for and not received. As
bond has been taken we trust the grand jury
will see that no settlement is effected until all
the facts are elicited. In the meantime, we
hope our readers will not bo too hasty in mak
ing their judgments.
It is suspected, on the other hand, that the
intention of tho prosecution is to make a scape
goat of tho clerk, and to invalidate his testi
mony in advance, as he may know too much.
As tho facts develop themselves, we shall give
them to our readers. This is only a continua
tion of the State Road cases, and the end will
doubtless never be reached.
The cases already discovered fully indicato
how over six million of dollars was spent on the
State Road in two years, though the details may
never be ferreted out.
It is reported that one of the parties has ab
sconded, and that other parties will bo arrested.
We will be able to give fuller details, porbaps
in our next issne.
The Sun says the amount developed is sixteen
hundred dollars, and the Era puts it at $8,000.
The Sun says one of the parties is Joseph Fry,
“who is a nephew or other near relative of Fos
ter Blodgett—a boarder at his house and mem
ber of his family, and wbo has been bis confi
dential secretary or clerk in tho office of Super
intendent of the Western and Atlantic Railroad;
the other a member of a prominent mercantile
firm in tho city,” and that he has absconded,
carrying with him $25,000 or $30,000.
The “Atlanta Law Association” has reorganized
with L. E. Bleckley, President; E. F. Hoge, Vice
President; A. W. Hammond, Secretary; Mar
shall J. Clark, Treasarer; George H. Ham
mond, Librarian.
The three white men charged with Ku-klnx-
ing a negro named George Wright, near Car
tersville, last Jnne, have just been tried and
convicted of murder in Bartow Superior Court
The jury recommended that they be confined
for life in the penitentiary.
Batts county retnres 563 white and 352 black
polls, and $736,181 worth of taxable property.
Frank Blair and Gratz Brou n.
A New York dispatch in the Western papers
says:
Senator Frank Blair has been interviewed at
Cape May, and says while same Democrats
think the New Departure issne a wise move
ment, others will reject it, and that it is at best
but a natural sequence of the Tammany move
ment wben they put Chase in as a Presidential
candidate. He thinks Missonri safe for a hun
dred thousand majority in the next Presidential
campaign without regard to the New Departure,
and that the most available Democratic Presi
dential candidate is Governor Grstz Brown,
who has always been a New Departnrist, and
who conld secure the support of the German
Republicans of the country, on account of his
championship and the enfranchising movement
in Missonri, where Grant’s treatment of Scbnrz
and the German citizens incensed that class
against the Administration, not only in that
State, bnt elsewhere throughout the country.
Gratz Brown was one of the two Republican
candidates for Governor of Missonri, and de
feated McClurg on the Issne of amnesty and
enfranchisement of the “rebels” in that State.
Brown was supported by all the Democrats of
Missonri and by Senator Schurz with a consid
erable following of the Republican party. Mc-
Clnrg was the administration candidate, it is
true, and the feud engendered by that issue
with the Grant administration has never been
appeased. Bnt neither Brown nor Schnrz has
ever claimed any identification or sympathy
with the Democratic organization. The latter
made a three hours’ speech to the Germans of
Chicago, in tho German language last Saturday
night. That speech, in general, was a very
well considered and statesmanlike effort; bnt in
reference to the amendments it was very clear.
Says he:
The interests of the country demand that the
questions growing out of the war, embodied in
tne thirteenth, fourteenth and fi'teenth amend
ments of the coostitntion of the United States,
should b« accepted by all political parties, as
equal, civil and political rigbls, is the only the
ory consistent with the maintenance of free
labor. The prejudices of persous averse to the
amendments will have to be overcome by patri
otic men firmly npholdmg the legitimate re
sults of the war, and our Southern people must
be gradually cm looee from the past and its
painful memories as well as their pecnlisr de
sires and aspirations,and their thoughts diverted
to those interests which we have in common.
It is very clear from these evidences th$t Mr.
Blair has not the smallest idea of reinsisting
upon his platform of 1868, as the basis of a
Democratic Presidential rally in 1872, and that
on tho contrary he contemplates such an ar
rangement as will conciliate tho support of Re
publican votes opposed to the re-eleciion of
General Grant.

NEW ARRANGEMENT
Having disposed of all bnt a remnant of onr Groceries, we think proper to announce that we shin not
replenish that branch of our business, as wo have determined to abandon it altogether. This change
does not contemplate any redaction of our business, but is found necessary to encourage rather than
check the rapid growth of our business in other departments. In fntnre we shall devote ourselves ex
clusively to
DRY GOODS,
BOOTS AND SHOES,
CLOTHING AND HATS,
FURNISHING GOODS,
AND NOTIONS.
In our Retail Department, we shall offer Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale, we shall offer at all eev
sona the best stock in all tho enumerated branches to be found in this State, or south of New York.
We invite the attention of Merchants to an examination of onr stock of
Domestics and Woollen Goods,
Which were bought before the late advance, and in which wo can offer great inducements. We shill
deal-heavily in ail
GEORGIA MADE! GOODS,
And have made special arrangements with leading Factories whereby we shall never require more thtn
the Factory price, We Bhall make a special business of
CALICOES,
And shall keep at all times a stock from which any size order can be filled.
As we seldom fail to make good impressions on merchants who know their business, we hope to re
ceive calls from many this Beaaon who have hitherto failed to do so, as our stock will be unusually at
tractive, and our promptness in buying certain goods before tho advance enables us to offer some good
bargains. Respectfully,
