utive Committee are requested to meet at the
ofloe of the Chainnao, in the city of Macon, on

The Catarary A Hair.
The qnurol of the Administration with the
Knaalan Minister, M. Catacazy, to which allu
sion ia made In today's telegrams is a compli
cated affair. First and foremost, it is charged
that ho made himself improperly busy with the
duties on foreign hemp, when the tariff ques
tion was up in Congress last summer. The
hemp trade is scry important to BusbU. Second,
it ia charged that be has spoken and written
disrespectfully of our illustrious President and
Secretary Fish. Third, ho has a dashing wife
—a dirorood woman, who is said to have been
Catacazy s protection before her divorce,
and consequently “society" is somewhat at issue
with her. Nevertheless, Catacazy pushes her
forward on all occasions—insists that she is the
leader of the ton, and has a good many penny-
adiners of the newspaper press, under pay, to
represent her as the grand social arbitress in
Washington. Those proceedings have stirred
up the waters of social strife to tho bottom, and
as A. Ward says, “rilod” them so much that it
is impossible for outsiders to distinguish a big
fith from a minnow or a mud-cat. It is no won
der, therefore, that Radical official aristocracy
is thoroughly disgruntled with tho Gatacazys—
should tongue lash thorn sovercly, and put, by
way of retaliation, tho Gatacazys should give
Washington society some left banded compli
ments. The consequence is, that all the Cabi
nets and Salons, including the black and yellow
Dinahs, are down upon tho Russian Minister and
his wife, and as early as last July the United
States Minister at St. rctoreburg was requested
to procure Mr. Catacazy's recall. This, for
some reason, ho failed to accomplish in time,
and the Emperor has requested a postponement
until tho visit of the Grand Duke Alexis is over.
In cousequenee of this unhappy condition of
affairs, the Grand Duke will bo introduced to
the American Court and people by a man who
is not socially recognized at headquarters by
either. This is bad, but we must braee up our
nerves to endure the shock. It is not the ex
pectation of Mr. Fish and the Washington ladies
that the young men of the South will take up
the quarrel. __
<loo<l Tilling!) from Texas.
We print among the dispateh'os a telegram
from the Chairman ef the Texas Domocratio
Committee, claiming that the Stnto has elected
a clean Democratic delegation to Congress, and
that the net Democratic majority is about thirty
thousand. This is good news to the National
Democracy; but bettor still for the people of
Texas themselves. A number of tho leading
citizens of that Btate have, within two or throe
weeks past, addressed a long letter to the lion.
Carl Shurz, of Missouri, giving, in the form
of a calm and impassioned narrative, its politi
cal history under tho manipulations of Radical
adventurers and tho reconstruction acts. The
case of Texas has been even worse than that of
Booth Carolina. It is tho most extraordinary
story of political oppression nnd robbery we
ever road. But from this condition Texas now
takes her upward flight. The reign of tho plnn
deters is over. This is the beginning of t
thorough redemption of her fortunes, and wo
heartily rejoice over it.
“Upon CojtrtmsxoN."—Mr. Stephens in the
Atlanta Bnn of yestorday, says he excepts to
nothing in our catalogue of what tho Sjutb has
done on compulsion, and without a sacriffco of
honor, except the single item of sending Sena
tors and Representatives to Congress, which be
thinks ia not a matter of compulsion, but op
tional with ns, nnd, tborofore, honor demands
that wo should insist upon sending them upon
our own tonus tnd without reapeet to ftto “fraud
ulent amendment.” Wo reply that tho same
neooaaity which rnado ns citizens of the United
Slates, pursues ns to the attainment of all possi
ble self-protection in that capacity. To remain
quasi citizens, and yet without representation
under the government during that long indefin
ite period in which tho Mth amendment shall
be in force, would bo, in our judgment, a piece
of suicidal folly.
Cotton Flavors.—Tho telegrams of today
ahow total receipts since 1st September 122,598
bales, against 192,266 for tho corresponding pe
riod of last year—a docrcaao of very nearly
70,000 bales, or abont thirty-six per cent. This
does not indioste tho actnal decrease in the
crop, as drouth in Tens and Louisiana caused
a great deal of preiuaturo opening. The gene
ral exhibit is as follows:
1871. 1870.
At tho ports 116,385 14-1,487
Interior towns 22,807 25,759

American afloat 36,000 23,000
Indian afloat 610,717 389,433
1,284,309 1,120,679
Indian cotton, it is evident, has a floating ca
pacity to meet any possible emergency; bnt,
nevertheless, the excess is reduced to 163.C30
bales.
“Bren" and Tux State Faib.—A correspond
ent of the Atlanta Era, writing from Macon one
day last week, has many depreciatory things to
say of Mayor Huff's exertions to make the oom-
iug Stale Fair a success, and predicts “a com
plete failure," as tho end of the whole business.
Who “Bibb * is we have no idea, nor do we oare
to know. But we do know that his letter is a
captions, ill-nstured document, and its prodic
tion of failure oot at all sustained by present
prospects and assurances to the contrary. If
all signs don't fail, the Fair will be one of tho
most brilliant and entirely successful exhibitions
ever seen south of the Potomao river. We are
willing, at least, that events shall decide be
tween “Bibb" and ourselves, on this point.

TliP Awful Conflagration of Clilrngo.
The. great ooofltgration at Chicago seems to
ns tho most terrible holocaust of modern times,
unless it may be the great fire of London.
Chicago is a city of three hundred thousand in
habitants, and is so net* a place, that those fa
miliar with it, tell na no similar area in any city
of (ho United States could have been swept of
such a value in buildings.
Up to 9 or 10 o’clock yesterday morning,
thirty-four blocks, ton thousand buildings—
five miles of them—had been destroyed. These
included the principal business section of tho
city, aa well as the most fashionable and costly
residences. It included numerous buildings
worth three or four hundred thousand dollars.
It embraoed that magnificent hotel—the largest
in the world—which was just being roofed, and
on which little short of a million dollars has
been expended. It included six Elevators, some
of them worth more than • million dollars apiece,
exclusive of lhe immense stocks of grain they
contained—to be numbered by millions of bush
els ; and it included numerous banking bouses
and other structures of a public character.
If we ahould estimate tho ten thousand build
ings at 915,000 apiece, the loss would amount to
one hundred and fifty million*-, but it probably
far cxcocdod twice that amount in buildings
and contents. We suppose it may evon exceed
fivo hundred millions.
And this is the fire as reported up to 11) o'clock
yesterday morning, and still raging with an-
controlled fnry. Surely, such an awfnl calamity
has rarely, if ever, befallen a great eity, in
modern times. It is almost inconceivable in
extent and comprehensiveness.
The loss ia so prodigious that it will probably
break oil the underwriters, and the loss to the
sufferers will be total. Furthermore, the anni
hilation of such vast stores of provisions and
grain, will havo a considerable effect upon tho
market, wbfch will be felt all over tho country.
It is a stunning blow—a die* irae, which will
evoke the pity and oommiseration of the country;
and, bad as it'seems now—the later dispatches
wil],no doubt, still more deeply redden the tale
of horror.

Suddxn Death or Ex-Matob Mocton, of
Columbus.—Oar oommunity was both shocked
and surprised vesterday by the snddon death of
Hon. Joseph L. Morton, of Colnmbns, which
occurred at the Marshall House, abont half past
four o'clock p. M. Mr. Morton had been spend
ing several weeks at Sharon Springs for the
benefit of a rheumatic complaint with which he
had been afflicted for some time. He arrived
here abont two o'clock yesterday afternoon, on
the steamship Leo, from New York, to all ap
pearances entirely restored and in excellent
spirits. After dinner he took a stroll over the
city with a friend, and while walking complained
of a sadden pain in the cheat though nothing
serious was thought of it at the time. Tho party
continued their walk for some time atterward,
bnt finding tho pain increasing, at the sugges
tion of his friend Mr. Morton returned to bis
hotel and threw himself on the bed. Still, no
serious apprehensions were felt, but while a
gentleman present was feeling his pulse, and
before medical aid could bo procured, ho sud
denly expired. The event is very rnneh re
gretted ih this oommunity.
Mr. Morton has boon a prominent citizen of
Colnmbns for many years. Ho served one or

TIIE WOSIICXI OF- KrlKITI ALISH.
A New York Reporter Anion— the GfaMtl
—They Klnjr mill Talk, anti Show TIirm-
selvrv to Him—He Sen Strange Sight*
and Hear) Strange Sonncle, but Fnlln to
ratliom the Mystery.
The New York Sun, of Tuesday, has a nix
column account of recent extraordinary “spirit
manifestations" at Moravia, a small village near
Anbnm, New Turk, which were witnessed by
• reporter for the paper, and which, ao far aa
we have observed, are a little ahead, in point
of flesh-creeping interest, of any similar mani
festations that have been made public. From
the Son's account we condense some of the moat
startling incidents norm ted by tbo reporter, pro
mising that the medium is a woman named
Mary Andrews, aged about 30 years, and that
tenner* were held at the residence of a farmer
named Keeler, in or near the vilUge. Tho me.
dium, daring part of the performance, waa shot
up in a cabinet whieh was tightly closed and in
which, aa the reporter ia sure, was nothing bnt
a chair on which sho sat, and a tin speaking
trumpet Tbo cabinet waa in a room, the one
door of which and the windows were securely
fastened.
The first mystery was the singing by invisible
voices which came distinctly and from tho dark
and empty cabinet—two malos and a female,
singing Boprauo, tenor and alto, respectively,
and joining in the chores of a song song by the
reporter and Keeler, who were the only males in
tho room when the door was shut, and which
had not been opened. This all took place with
the room in total darkness. Besides this, and
while the room was still dark, two exceedingly
bright lights appeared not larger than a
which flitted all over the room, appearing
over the heads of the sitters and then behind
them. These were followed by shapeless and
undefined clouds whieh filled the room and
moved abont in all directions, and whieh tho
medium said were spirits. While this was
going on a hollow-toned voice from out the im
penetrable darkness said: “My friends, this is
a beautiful reality,” and as if to convince the
reporter, at least, a gentle hand unmistakably
patted him on the knee. He elntehed at it, of
course, but equally, of course, like the French
man's flea, it wasn't there. This wound up the
dark part of the show.
The lamp was then relit, and “on recovering
the sense of sight, everybody looked around and
discovered everybody else sitting just as when
the lamp was last seen burning, and no apparent
change in tho room. Tho medium then took
her chair and retired within the cabinet, and
seating herself at the extreme north end, and
jnst within the door. Mr. Keeler then put up
and fastened the door, placed the light on the
piano in the position heretofore described, set
a rough paper screen in snch a position aa to
shade the lamp from the eyes of the sitters,
and resnmed his seat. The company sat patient
ly for a few minutes, occasionally exchanging
remark with one another, nnd commenting on
what bad been done, when the curtain cover
ing the apartnre was seen to move. All eyes
were riveted upon it. Then it fell back and
remained at rest. Again it moved as if an ef
fort was being rnado to raiso it. Slowly tho
lower right band eornor was rolled back until
the opening was about half uncovered. Then a
fignre presented itself in tho opening and quick-
ly withdrew, letting the enrtain fail again. No
one bad seen tho fignre distinctly, nor conld
anybody tell what it was, thongh all asked.
Presently tho enrtain was raised again as bo-
fore, and tbo figure again appeared, presenting
itself a little more into tho light, but only far
enough to bo recognized ns the face of a man.
As it again withdrew the whole company united
in a request that the spirit show himself more
plainly. The obliging old fellow made the effort.
Drawing the enrtain aside, be threat his face
qnile through the opening until tho light of the
lamp tell upon its side. It was a venerable
looking face, not at all ghost liko or repulsive.
It lor > something liko William Cullen Bryant.
Tho i-.j-d was covered with snowy white hair,
quite thick and long. It had full whiskers of
equal whiteness, and n heavy moustache that
curled under like a-heavy roll of hair. It was
tho face of a voiceless spirit and withdrew itself
as quick as seen.
Ho (the reporter) then left tho village, and
was gone four days, when ho rotnrncd unexpect
edly on a morning train, and proceeded at onoe
to tho spiritual resort, determined to prosecuto
the investigation until ho should be able to ex-
piodo the linmbug. Ho found an entirely now
company wailing at the house, and a circle was
at once fonucil. In this circle was a gentleman
in Syracuse, and, judging from his conversa
tion, evidently an official of somo sort. When
tho show commenced a faco waa presented that
was entirely different from any tho reporter had
previously seen. This faco the Syracnao gentle-
man recognized as that of a man named Butler,
who had been mnrdored a fow woe Vs previously
in (hat city. To make tho recognition com
plete, the Syracuse gentleman asked the appa
rition to show tho sido of his head. Tho Bide
view was given, disclosing a horrid gash on tho
back of tho temple, from which tho blood was
apparently streaming. This was considered sat
isfactory evidonco of identity, tho Syraeusian
pronounced tho wound precisely snch a one ns
Batter had received.
Then nppenroda most lovely, though Btracgely
sad fcmalo face, apparently of a lady just verg
ing on womanhood. The features were oil fully
developed and were exquisitely beautiful. The
eyes were large and lustrous; the noso Grecian;
the mouth symmetrical. Tho complexion was
not that of a corspe, thongh it was wondrously
clear, while the whole expression of the face
was one of extreme sadness. The apparition
excited the liveliest sensations among the be
holders, and all leaned forward to inspect it
closer. It appeared several times, at each ap
pearance coming fnrther into tho light, nntil
ail had satisfied themselves of tho reality of the
vision. Then it was asked to give its namo.
The lips moved as if attempting to pronounco a
name, bnt no sound came from them. Again
and again it appeared, at each appearance ro-
nowinjj the effort to speak. Finally a whisper
was heard, and all ears were bent to catch it.
The whisper waa repeated a little louder, and
finally so loud that all heard it distinctly and
understood it alike. It was a name familiar to
tho reporter and sacred to him, thongh the face
was certainly not familiar, and, thongh not
wholly dissimilar, conld not be that of the lady
named.
The third scene, however, unfolded the most
startling programme of alL A new face was
presented at the opening m the cabinet, which
was followed by a hand grasping something
and moving across tho opening—which some
thing the medium said was a knife that the
spirit was drawing across his throat. A hand
was then thrust out, and, with extended fiugeri
pointed to the reporter, and a gentleman from
the village who accompanied bun. The ques
tion was asked who the manifestation was meant
for, and the hand reappeared and pointed di
rectly at the reporter. A series of questions
and answers were then asked and answered by
reporter and spirit, the upshot of which were
that the tragedy represented was one in which
the reporter bad been professionally interested,
and that it related to a woman, simultaneously
with whieh a delicate hand appeared at the
apartnre, and waved a white handkerchief rap
idly te and fro several times. On the reporter's
confessing himself unable to understand what
the pantomime meant, the enrtain rose again,
and the upper portion of an arm torn off at tho
shoulder waa thrust out
This was followed by an nndistinguishable
object shown within the opening, bat which,
by particular request, was afterward brought
more into the light, and proved to be a portion
of a female bust, with a mangled and bleeding
shoulder, and the arm missing, Again the cur
tain fell and rose again, when a oorpse, arrayed
in a ahrond of almost shining whiteness, lying
on its back, and seemingly borne npon a litter,
was passed several times before tho opening.
It was to the eye or the beholder the corpse of
_a young lady of » small figure. The features
could not be seen with sufficient distinctness to
be described. This display seemed to terminate
tho pantomimic tragedy enacted for the benefit
of the reporter, and left him as much mystified
as ever.
When (be door of the cabinet was opened and
the medium came out, tho reporter entered it
with a lamp and made a thorough examination,
but could find nothing whatever that threw any
light upon tho mystery. The fastenings to the
windows were secure, there wss no trap door,
there was nothing in tho cabinet bat tho chair
and speaking trumpet, and the reporter waa
therefore forced to the conclusion that if the
medium had practised any deception it was done
without the aid of aooompiioes. She was dressod
very plainly, with a tight fitting waist, and a
skirt without hoops, and if sha practised these
ilone-it seemed a matter of impossibility that
sho ooold conceal about her person all the masks,
hands, arms, etc., necessary (o the rations ex
hibitions that were made. The reporter very
naturally owned himself baffled, and came
sway in a very unsatisfactory state of mind.
4HUTDABT.
The friends and relatives of Mr. Wu.uair M.
Ouvza wi:l regret to learn that be died at his
home in lUwkmsviUe, Ga, oo the evening of
the 28th of September, and in the 47th year of
his age. He was born on the 10th of Anaust.
1824. 6
He eras a noble specimen of a man, and would
have been an ornament to any church or com
munity. None loved law and order more than
he, and none lived* more consistent religions
life. Having made a profession of religion in
early yontb, his piety “grew with hia growth
and strengthened with bts strength.” He was
for many years a fuithful, energetic, working
deacon in the Baptist church, and none will feel
lifslusi more than his church and pastor, to
whose interest be was devoted, lie was honest
and candid, thongh modest and retiring. His
judgment was good, and hia energy in the
prosecution of his aims untiring. In his bnsi-
neas transactions he claimed and wanted all that
was hia, while, with eqnal justice, he allowed
the claims of others. He was generous to the
poor, preferring to be imposed upon by the un
worthy, than that tho needy should be turned
away empty.
Thus living, and trusting for salvation only
in the blood of CbriBt, he diod with that calm,
peaceful resignation to his Master's will which
transforms death into a qniet sleep.
The weeping crowd which packed the Baptist
Church to hear his funeral by his pastor. Rev.
G. R. McCall, and the long procession of Ma
sons and citizens which thronged his grave,
attested the high position he occupied in the
estimation of the community and the great loss
which all realized in his death. J. p. c.

October 10,1871. j
On next Monday, tho lGlh inst, the Halls and
Rooms at Central City Park will all be ready for tho
reception of any and all articles designed for exhi
bition at the approaching Stato Fair, and if tho
quantity and quality of the contributions are at all
in proportion to the rooms which have been pre
pared for their display, the exposition most and will
be a grand one. Anil will Macon be satisfied to
stop with the most beautiful Park, and the finest
Exhibition Halls in the South ? In this particular
we are finished and complete. But it is one thing
to bnild and arrange for a Pair, while it is qnite
another to fill np and properly utilize the space to
profit and advantage. If the work shop, machin
ery halls, store houses, studios and parlors of onr
Macon people alono, are made to contribute as lib
erally to this enterprise as thoy sbonld do, we will
present a display alike creditable to Macon and tho
Htato. Especially should this be the coso in regard
to tbo many fine paintings and other rare speci
mens of art and til to owned and cherished hy the
ladies and gentlemen of Macon. Let everything
of interest and merit he brought out. It is only too
well known that two of the most interesting Fairs
ever held in Goorgia were tho direct result of ex
traordinary, wide awake, energetic local effort.
But nothing can be dono without tbo pride, the
will and the work. Lot eveiy thing, from the pet
bird and flower, to the steam engino, be brought
out. There is scarcely a boy or girl in Macon, per
haps, but who could contribute something that
would interest some other hoy or girl, snd so in
regard to every individual.
Premiums are offered for almost everything, and
where a neglect or oversight has occurred a suita
ble reward will attach to any at tide of merit which
may be exhibited. The merchant, tho manufac
turer, the artist, all can he bonefitted hy on adver
tisement growing out of an expose of tlioir busi
ness at tho Georgia Stato Fair No better adver
tisement can he made. To the ladies I appeal,
with tiost and confidence, that they will make Flo
ral Ball what it deserves to bo on tbo morning of
the 2M instant—a picture snd a charm. Much timo
and money has keen spent in preparing the grounds
and buildings, now let us complete the work by pre
senting tho largest and finest display ever nude on
a similar occasion. Lot tbo most beautiful and in
tereating portion of ovory man’s business and
every lady s parlor be movod down to tho Park for
one week, and there be placed in competition with
whatever may come from abroad, and it will afford
ns a week of rare iutcroat and recreation, and in
thus ploasing onr guests wo shall compensate our
selves.
The following ladies are kindly reqaosted tomect
st the Park on next Tuesday evening, the 17th in
stant, to act as a committee to superintend the ar
rangement of snch articles as msy be sent to Flo
ral Hall for exhibition. Without somo system and
concert of action on the part of the ladies, this, tho
most interesting feature of all Fairs, will fail with
ns to bo a snocesa:
