^ i vJmm i i -f r 'ni i Telegraph & Messenger. WEDNESDAY HOBHING. AUGUST 16, 1871. 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 Stock in Marseilles 26,916 10,600 Stock in Bremen. 47,470 20,977 Stock rest of Continent 60,000 35,000 Afloat for Great Britain (American) 52,000 35,000 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. A man in Iowa has recently purchased six thousand acres of land for adairy farm. It must be somethingof a job to get the cows home every night on ?uch a farm as that.
