Telegraph State Fair Bulletin
The Georgia State Fair for 1871 will open in
Uaoou, Monday, October 23d, and close on the
Friday following. Extraordinary preparation*
am in progress to make this Fair the most ex
tensive *eit popular Industrial Exposition which
has ever been witnessed in the Son them State#,
To meet all the newspaper requirements of
so important an occasion, the TzLEOttarn asro
Mmscfoxn will, during the days of the ex
position, issue an edition to bo called the Tru-
cura State Fain Bcuxrct, giving the latest
telegraphic and mail news—full reports of the
progress of the fair—lists of exhibitors and ex
hibits, speeches and reports delivered on_ the
ooeaaion—and very fall descriptions of all the
trials of speed and prowess by land and water.
In the size of this sheet and of its editions, it
will meet every requirement of tho vast crowd
of citixen* of Georgia and strangers from all
parts of the South and the country, who will
gaihor hero at that tune. The opportunity for
business publicity it will afford to business men
in Macon and every othor part of the country,
North and South, will be very great. We will
publish advertisements in this paper for the
vluit period of the Exposition at the rate of two
dollars an inch, allowing a discount of twenty to
thirty per cent, upon advertisements longer than
six inches, in proportion to length. Advertise
ments inserted onoe will be charged one dollar
per inch in length. Cussx, Joses A Boss.

Smsu. nr Deobzes ajtd BESunruiAT Less.—
We see the Agricultural Bareau has got down
to three millions bales and says ‘‘if the remain-
ing season should be unfavorable, this result
must be accepted.” A little more experience
will show that everybody will bo glad to accept
threo million bales; but they won't got the ten
der.
Corron eaved in Liverpool and New York
yesterday. Tbe complaint is that it is coming
in too fast The fact is the speculators want
about fourteen cents a pound profit on cotton
this year. If they can buy it for sixteen this
fall and winter, and sell it for thirty nest May
that will aroomplish the business. Fourteen
cents on this crop will yield them just about
much as seven cents did last year.
Tbe Geobou Kb ei.cx to be Attended to.—
Under this bead a Washington special in Son-
day's Herald gives the following token of com
ing wrath to Georgia. If anybody bas been
Ku-kloxlng, let him run, and tbe rest prepare
for Akennan'a guillotine with a clear conscience:
It is understood that the forthcoming procla
mation of martial law in Sonth Carolina is the
beginning of sn important movement sgainst
the Ku-klux. Georgia will bo tbe next State to
tie warned and punished.
A 1’ooKET MarorGEoaora.—We are indebted
to Mr. A. G. Butts for a now poeket map of
Georgia, just published by bim. It is printed
and colored in excellent stylo and contains ail
his latest corrections and improvements—cor-
root delineations of all the county lines, rail
ways and Important highways. The map also
indndos tho Northern portion of Florida and
the head of the Gulf, down to near latitude 23.
On Die cover are the last Federal census returns
of tbe State by counties. The retail price of
tbe map is one dollar, anil it can bo bad at all
tho bookstores.

pereecnto prominent Democrats, and that plan
is to bo tried on all the other reconstructed
States. As to the masses of the whites in South
Carolina, Federal bayonets must be preferable
to the insane and stupid antics of a negro milt
Time and strength.
The Atlanta pepere declare their Fair a great
and assert that it is more crowded
than it was last year. The San of yesterday
was out in a flaming notice from the managers
that "daring the balance of the week, bones
will run and trot against each other; and that
fast hones from Connecticut, Ohio, Kentucky,
Tennessee and Georgia have been entered.
Bonner, to the contrary, notwithstanding, we
conoeive the moral question ia not materially
affected by this change. Tbe immorality of
bone rasing must necessarily be in its usual
concomitants of letting, and not in itself. There
can be nothing wrong in testing the relative
■peed of horses more than their relative strength;
and it matters not whether this be tested by
direct competition between tbe animals, or by
the intervention of a time watch. Betting is as
practicable in the one esse ss in the other.
We have leas fancy for fast horses or horse
racing than perhaps any other man in the crea
tion, and are quite willing to soncede the gen
erally demoralizing influences of tbe race track
as it commonly exists in the world. But never-
theleaa these demoralizing practices sre no es
sential part of a horse race, and it seems to us
there ought to bet, method by which people can
exhibit the relative speed and endurance of their
horses without tbe slightest offense to sound
morals. The object is important to tho im
provement of the horses.
So have been, from the limes of tho great
Olympic games down to the present day, all
those trials between human athletes, in eleva
ting the standard of manly vigor in the human
animal. The Grecian games were powerfully
promotive of the high character for both phys
ical and intellectual powers attained by that
people, and no doubt tbe contests of strength
and agility which have of late yean been intro
duced among our yonng men in America, in all
spheres of life, are improving tbo health and
vigor of that class in a very marked degree.
Tbe true point in these trials, like those in
the rece-conne. should be to divest them, if
pomfblo, of demoralizing comcomitanta. Com
petition, physical and intellectual, ia, or oogbt
to be, as healthy an agent intbeso departments
aa it ia in trade. A great clement in tho useful-
ness of our schools is the stimulating effect of
competition, and most of them seek to increase
it by positions of honor in tbo class, and by
prizes and medals. Competition spurs up the
dull and laggard and elevates tbo whole stand
ard of scholarship. So competition in physical
strength or agility, whether among men or
brutes, seems to be essential to elevate and fix a
standard of physical attainments; and wo say
there onght to be some way in which this end
cm bo obtained without offense to pnblio
morals.

The attendance was foil, and the meeting lively
to an unusual degree. It will be remembered
that at the meeting of the stoekboldere of tbe
road, beld a short ume since, Judge King made
a severe attack on the contractor who finished
tbe road—M. K. Jessup & Co., of New York—
declared «h»t the wotk WAS inferior, had not
been done according to contract, that the road
was not eompleted, and that four thousand
shares of stock had been issned to Mr. Jeaenp
illegally, and that it oould not be voted. After
a long debate tbe whole matter was referred to
the Board of Directors, with power to sot At
the meeting on yesterday Judge Bing returned
again to the charge. The matter was warmly
discussed for several hours, and at last oil was
poured upon the troubled waters by a motion to
refer the question to a committee of two from
the Directory of tbe Macon and Augusta Bail-
road, two from the Directory of the Georgia
Bail road, and two from Jessup A Co. This
motion was carried, and here, for the present,
the affair rests.
Shooting A r re at.—A difficulty occurred in
the neighboring town of Hamburg, South Car >-
lina, on last Sondiy, which resulted in one of
the parties receiving what is considered a mortal
wound. The parties concerned in the affray
were Messrs. William Flint and Flearant Sharp-
ton, both well known citizens of the town in
which they live. From what we can learn of
the affray, it seems tint the quarrel was the
result of an old fend between the combatants.
Some time ago there was a quarrel, and they
had not been on very good terms since. On last
Sunday morning, about eleven o'clock, they
happened to meet at a place in the street, and
high words followed tbe meeting. Shaipton
cursed Flint, and the Utter drew his pistol and
fired two shots at him. The first ball did not
take effect The last penetrated tbe back of
tbe neck, inflicting a very dangerous wound.
These are about the only particulars of the fight
which have transpired. Fears were entertained
yesterday that Mr. Sharp ton could not recover.
The Fair at AtlanU seams to make things
very lively np there, judging from the local
column of the Constitution of yesterday. The
following items are the liveliest we oould find
in that column:
Betid Sewing.—Yesterday a sewing machine
at the Fair Ground which was run by steam at
tracted a Urge share of public attention.
Convicts.—A car lead of convicts passed
through this city cn route for Gainesville yes
terday, to work on the Air-Line railroad.
Best Show.—We learn that an Atlanta lady
will enter for the special premium, her baby,
21 months old, weighing 171 pounds. We be
lieve this is Jndgo Hayden’s'department
Feece Webbent.—Mrs. Gann and daughter
were bound over yesterday by Justice Butt, in
the sum of two hondred dollars each, to keep
the peace towards Mrs. Nancy Mink.

President of the United States:
E TEOCLAMATION.
Whore aa, by an act of Congress entitled an
set to enforce tbe provisions of the 14th amend
ment to tbe Constitution of the United States,
and for other purposes, approved tbe twentieth
day of April, A. D. one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-one, power is given the President
of the United States, when, in his jndgment,
tbe public safety shall require it, to suspend the
privilege of tho writ of habeas corpus in any
State or part of any Stale, when combinations
and conspiracies exist in such State or part of
such State, for the purpose of depriving any
portion or clsas of tho people of snch State of
the rights, privileges, immunities and protec
tion named in the Constitution of the United
States, and secured by tho act of Congress afore
said, and whenever such combinations and con
spiracies do so obstruct or hinder the execution

nations shall be organized and armed, and so
powetfai as to be able, by violence, either to

Chief Justice « Iinse ou the Political
.Situation.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Gazette under date • f tbe 13th instant,
writes as follow#:
Chief Justice Chase returns much improved
in health, and bas gained abont twenty pounds
in weight. He feel# strong enough to resume
his labors upon the United States Supreme
Bench. Speaking of the situation of political
parties, and the probability of the Democrats
lor the time being dropping their organization
a* a party, and all the conservative elements
nominating a candidate for President, irrespec
tive of party, be said he thought that would not
oome abont; that it was not practicable at this
hour nor was there probably any necessity for
such a course. The Democrat* could retain
their organization, which be believed they would
never give np, atd yet select as candid ties for
President and Vice-President men who, from
their past history, wonld invite and seonre votes
of tbe entile conservative elements of all
parties.
He had beard expressed doubts in the minds
of Conservative Bepublieans as to what wonld
be their status should they co-operate with the
Democrats in electing the President, and they
asked whether, in case of such co-operation,
they wonld not be oversUnghed in this new or
ganization by the old line Democrats and those
who govern that party in some localities, as, for
example, in Ohio and Indiana. Such donbU
certainly exist to a large extent among Bepnb-
lieans inclined to support a Conservative candi
date, but be (Chief Justice Chase) did not share
them, though ha admitted there were grounds
to warrant distrust in the minds of some others.
