Aitoraxs terrible mystery is perplexing the

of aa absorbing public interest as the tragedy of

Pto inat, toe body of a young, well-dressed and

beach, near Cold Spring. There were evidonoes
of murder and perhaps of outrage proceeding it.
At the coroner's inquest nothing definite was
asoertained, exoept that one of toe rings on the
lady’s floger was engraved with toe initials J.
II. It was surmised that tho deceased had been
thrown overboard from some ono of the yachts
cruising the day before in the harbor. Circnm-
stonoea begin to oonnoct this tragedy with the
fate of Miss Jennie nicks, the most fashionable
dressmaker of Troy, who unaccountably disap
peared from her home on Saturday, the 2d in

The Late Special Election
Is not without a moral. The idea underlying
the nomination of Mr. Tinley waa to divide to*
white vote and secure a more numerous and in
fluential white element to the Radical organiza
tion in this region. The movement originated
with the Mulatto Regency in Macon. Jeff Long
was the engineer and secured top nomination,
and than did hto best to rally the African legion
to its support. He called a ratification ossein
blage in this city on Tuesday night, and was
chairman of tho meeting which waa numerous
ly attended, and ho made a flaming speech in
behalf of the nominee. But he failed misera
bly. The opposition attacked him without
mercy so soon ns be had taken hto seat He
writhed and groaned and called them to order
in vain. They pinned him to hi* chair and pat
him through a course of (pronto which made
him, for the nonoe, several shades whiter with
wrath and mortification. The next day, how
ever, they did Jeff still leas honor, by letting bis
candidate alone severely not only in Bibb coun
ty, bnt even still more in other parts of the
District hook at Monroe and Pike.
The charge w® that Mr. Tinley bad never
been known aa a Radical—and it was true; bnt
we venture to say any white nominee would not
have met with a much better fate unless at the
expense of thorough social, as well as political,
identification with the negro Radicals. The
negro politicians are very naturally tired oqt
with being played in the interests of an insigni
ficant white minority, and the whites who un
dertake to manage them in that lino hereafter,
have got to go down considerably below their
knees in Ethiopoan demagoguery.
The extraordinary unanimity with which, all
over an extensive district of threo large counties,
in a few days’ notice, witbont publication or
resolution to that effect, they all with one con
sent dropped Tinley into tho mud, ought to be
an awful warning to men who fancy they can
pander and patch up compromises and bargains
for thoir own or the pnblie advantage with tbo
negroes.
Some have said that the price of harmonious
political allianoo with the negroes to an equal
social alliance. But even that is very doubtful.
Ali history and experience show that the jeal
ousy and antagonism of oolor pervades even the
colored people, and half-breeds are proscribed
by the blacks. San Domingo and Jamaica il
lustrate this proposition. The white man, or
white party, then, who knuckles and compro
mises with negro partial and politicians will be
miserably disappointed at last.
The negroes will, to some extent, support
white candidates. A considerable number of
them voted for Simmons. But they are not go
ing to support white candidates on an equality
basis. Some of them will vote for whites from
motives of respect for superior qualifications
and position ; but wben white candidates come
down to tho Afrioan basis they prefer their own
oolor. The idea of a grand political amalgam
is as preposterous as that of a grand social amal
gam. Tho price of both to the whites wou'd be
only tho contempt of the negroes.
There is but ono course to pursuo. Let the
whites of Georgia stand shonlder to shoulder—
maintain their supremacy and exercise it right
eously for toe benefit of ail. Any other course
to ruinous. Think of that time apprehended by
some of our best men, wben two equally divided
white parties shall go into tho arena for negro
votes as a floating balance of party power. Years
ago there were about a hundred or so white “float
ers" in Bibb who, day* before the eloction, were
penned b) the rival parties and kept wallowing in
whisky. Can any man contemplate any similar
position for any considerable part of tbo negro
voter in Georgia without horror? To havo all pub
lic questions decided in that way would be horri
ble. Bnt wbat amisfortnno to tho negroes them
selves, and to overy industrial interest of thefltite
to have that population exposed to such corrupt
ing and demoralizing conditions. Wo entreat the
respectable whites of this State to stand to
gether—not so mnch for mere party interest as
in behalf of every great intcrext of tociely, In
cluding that of the negroes themselves.
Kepublicau Economy.
Gen. Geo. W. Morgan, of Ohio, met Senator
Sherman's boasts about Republican economy
and lemoning taxation, with a terrible exposo of
three hollow pretences, llo shows that daring
the four years of tbo war, they raised $712,000,-
000 by taxation, and in the first year of peace
thereafter $619,000,000, and during the fonr
years snoeaeding the war they collected $1,174,-
000,000 more than during tho four yeans of war.
That since tho war there has been drawn by
taxation by the Government at Washington ont
of the labor and reronrees of the people, $2,.
709,000,000. Nearly double the whole amount
of the entire expenditures of the Federal Gov
ernment for the period of eighty years, from
the first Inauguration of George Washington to
the close of the late war. That oat of this vast
amount only $300,000,000 of the debt have been
paid' leaving $2,400,000,000 as general expen
ditures. In u word, tost since toe war money
exceeding toe whole amount of Ibe national
debt has been wrong from toe people in taxes,
and all exoept $300,000,000 gone in enrrent ex
penses. Gen. Morgen says:
“I will suggest a measure—a standard by
wbioh you can convey to yonr own minds some
idea of what too sum of $2,700,000,000 means.
Citixens, from toe tima of toe inauguration of
George Washington down to the inauguration
of Abraham Lincoln, a period of over eighty
years, toe entire expenditures of the Federal
Government, including the cost of too three
years war with England, the two years war with
Mexico, toe thirty years of Indian wars—loss
payments on the pnblie debt—was less than
$1,400,000,000. And yet we find that toe men
in power, in six years of uninterrupted peace—
peaee at home, red peace with too world—ex
torted from tho people in that brief spaco of
time, $1,300,000,000 more than was expended
during the entire time of our history from
Washington down to Lincoln.

has gone with that fabulous amount of money?

of the people; from toe toil of toe people;

gone ? I hare called and*call again upon Sena
tor Sherman to tell the people what hts become
of those $2,700,000,008. He don't reply: he
will not reply, because his answer, if truthful,
would raise a hurricane which would sweep him
and bis from power.
“‘Why,’ says some one, ‘we have n great
debt; we require this $2,700,000,000 to pay
that debt.' Yes, my friends, bnt $2,700,000,-
000 is $300,000,000 more than toe whole debt
Tbo debt is less than $2,400,000,000, and in
six years of pesos Sherman and his allies have
collected from you $2,700,000,000. How much
of the debt did they pay ? Up to the first day
of the present month of August, the entire re
duction of toe pnblio debt amount' to only
about $300,000,000. Now take that amount
from twonty-3even hundred millions and yon
have twenty-four hundred uri'tiona left What
has become of it ? Whose pockets has it filled ?
Whose splendid palaces her it built? Who are
toe men that riot in luxury upon this fabu'ous
amount of money taken from the people in toe
shape of taxation?”

Awheest CotmT-HotJSE, September 1, 1871,
Editor* Telegraph and Me*eenger; A few
lines additional from this place may not prove
uninteresting to yonr readers. I left hero a dsy
or two since on a visit to Culpepper oounty. I
found the Orange, Alexandria and Manassas
Railroad one of the most delightful lines of
travel in the whole land. Tho road is kept in
thorough repair, toe can commodious and
beautiful, and the conductors polite and atten
tivo. The road is presided over l>y Hon. John
a Barbour, a worthy son of one of Virginia’s
most gifted and distinguished statesmen. Tho
scenery along this lino to very attractive, es
pecially in Albermarle county, whore we pass the
University of Virginia, too beantifal town of
Charlottesville, and Monticollo, the homo and
grave of Jefferson. Many tourists visit this
seat of too departed statesmen and carry away
mementoes, such as walking canes, pieoes of
the tombstone, etc. The Utter, which sbonld
have been spared the touch of their sacrilegious
hands, bos been badly mutilated and po
nothing like its original beauty. On this stone
may still be seen toe words, “Here lies Thomrs
Jefferson, Author of toe Declaration of Inde
pendence, and Founder of too University of
Virginia.”
At GordonviUo I found too same “intense ex
istence” for which the place hss been so long
noted, consequent on the meeting of too trains
from Washington, Richmond, Lynchburg and
Stanton. There was not, however, the
profusion of “chicken lege” with which too eyes
of the hungry traveller havo so often been
greeted. The vendors with their big waiters
crowded toe pUtfonn, so as to seriously inter
fere with the convenience of toe passengers, and
toe authorities issued an order that they ahonld
not bo allowed to come on toe platform. Many
on this account havo giyen np the business, hut
still enough may be secured with small effort to
satisfy too wants of the inner man. There are
two good hotels, also, whore the wants of the
traveling public are supplied.
About two hours after leaving GordonviUo wo
reached Culpepper, which has weU been s.yled
a “Revolutionary county.” This was too oounty
that sent forth in the old Revolutionary war
toe “Cnlpepper Minute Men,” concerning
whom John Randolph said in the United States
Senate: “They were summoned in a minute,
armed in a minute, marched in a minute, fought
in a minute, and vanquished in a minute.” I
met and conversed on this occasion with CoL
D. F. Slaughter, a grand son of the veritable
Captain Slaughter who led these brave minute
men forth to battle and to victory.
Leaving the ears at Mitchell's Station I visi
ted the famous Cedar Mountain battle field,
where Stonewall Jackson taught Pope what a
convenient thing it was that hto headquarters
was in tho saddle. Some of the relics of that
hard fought field may still be seen, such as
braised trees and battered earthworks, while a
few bones may ever and anon be scon “bleach
ing” in the sun.
Virginia seems to be in about tho same state
of prosperity aa when the writer visited it two
years ago. Tho crops are looking well, particu
larly the oora, but fencing is still scarce, owing
the destruction of timber during the war, and
labor is os unreliable os it to in tho South. The
yankecs have put the same notions into the
froadmen's heads as in other sections; for it
was only yesterday that I witnessed in this vil
lage the procession and celebration of toe “Ris
ing Sun Benevolent Society,” -with toe usual
liaphiy of banners, red shirts, drums, etc.
A good many Northom settlers haTe immi
grated to this region. Soon after tho war land
agendas were established sH along toe O. Y. St
IL R. IL, generally called ‘-Piedmont Land
Companies,” and as prices were low, the coun
try picturesque, and in many plaoes fertile, those
in quest of homes came down and purchased.
Several northern families are living hereabouts,
and are engaged in fruit growing, w.ne making
and other sudi things. Some of these immi
grants not realising their expectation* are in
favor of selling out and going back North.
While many of them are good people, the old
Virginians will donbtleas say “joy” in connec
tion with the departure of the greater nnmber.
A Monsisb Bihd in Oalifobnia. —Last Tues
day evening abont seven o!dock, says toe Win-
ouoca (CaL) Register of Angust 9, the peo
ple in toe lower town were startled by the sod
den appearance of a huge monster we are at a
lost to know whether to call fowl or beast, not
withstanding it had wings and could fly. It was
certainly the biggest creature ever seen in
this country with feathers. If a bird, it belongs
torn giant species unknown to American orni
thology. Onr attention was first attracted by
hearing some one sing out, “Holy Mother,
seo that cow with wings.” We stepped to
toe door just in time to see toe monster
alight with homelbing of a crash on the roof of
Mrs. Collier's dwelling house, where it remain
ed for several minutes taking a quiet survey of
the land and toe astonished multitude who stood
gazing at that unexpected visitor. It could
not have weighed less than seventy or one hun
dred lbs., with a pair of ponderous wirgs wh ? o\
when stretched out to the breeze, must have
been fully twelve feet from tip to tip. Its color
was that of a raven, with the exception that the
tips of its wings and tail were white. An “old
salt,” who happened to get sight of toe bird,
thinks be must be a renegade member of too
comlor family. He says he has frequently met
with such *• critters” or. the coast of South
America.
A Bean Town.—Beverly, Ma.-Kachusetta, aaye
a correspondent, isknown u-. "Bean Town.' No'
virtuous citizen of that place thinks of passing
Sunday morning without baked pork and lx-arm
for breakfast. Formerly they went to tho dif
ferent bakeries Saturdny nights, each man with
his bean pot. Each pot was numbered with a
check as reoeivtd and the number given to toe
owner, and crowds would gather around the
bakery door, Sunday morning, each man call,
ing bto number and receiving his pot. Bat now
they have a pottery in toe town, and each house
holder has had his bean put mode to order, with
his name or initials baked imo the side, audthe
plan works be anti folly. Tbe bakers charge six
cents for baking beans, and it is no mean source
of revenue.
