TUESDAY MOUSING. OCT. 24. 1871.
Closing isrcnesorcbe First »«y ol tbe
Fair.
When we left the Gronodi hut night, quite a
largo crowd still lingered in the epecione haU*
of the exhibition, and the effect under the bril
liant gaa light of Mr. Bowe. formed a coup
(Tool both unique and beautiful. The Floral
presented i fairy eoene with iti rariegated
fancy work, gema of art, luasioua fruita, and
bluahlng flowora, ahimng amid the traoery of
green which featooned the walla. A steady rain
drenched the earth, but every one anbmiUed to
the inoonTcnience without murmuring, satisfied
that a quietus had been giren to the clouds of
dual which had been almost stifling in the early
part of ihft day.
In the afternoon Weston, the “American
deer,” walked fire miles and six hundred feet
in 58 minutes and 26 seoonds. The rain pre
vented any farther cxerdso upon the raoo track.
The arrivals by all the trains last night were
very numerous, and the attendance to-day will
donbtleas realize the expectations of the most
sanguine. Attention is directed to the pro
gramme of the day’s proceedings published
elsewhere.
Don Caanos Foaxvxn!—One of the editors,
our Local, and a Urge portion of the press
gang of the Tenia turn A Messesoen, who
were ail atorm-bonod and anpperleas last night,
were regaled with an excellent repast from the
hospitable board of Mr. W. P. Carlos.
Fat broiled ohickens, tender, .juicy loin
steak, fried oysters, delicious coffee, breed end
butter, etc., eta, ell cooked teeundem artem,
caused the weary newsmen not only to forget
tbeir troubles, but even to be resigned to future
convulsions of the elements, which would result
in similsr Godsends.
Our worthy host is certainly s lineal descend-
ant of the glorioos hidalgos of old Castile, and
inheriU the prinoely manners and baronial hos
pitality of that galUnt race. Ho administers
bU Urgesaes right royally, and with befitting
discrimination, npon tbe representatives of the
press, which is tho Archixaidean lever that
moves tho world.
Long life to this incomparable caterer to the
pnblit tastes. Wo treat every visitor to oar
greet exhibition will feast npon his delicacies,
and sample tbe rich and ancient vintages which
lie bidden in bis capacious collars.
TninttLSTiom or a Cmcioo Bonoiuit.-The
Poeblo (Colorado) Chieftain gives a fanny
count of s Chicago newspaper man who stopped
in tho flourishing yonng city of Greeley, and
being athirst, tried in vain to get a square drink.
“ lie went np one streot and down another, be
tamed Uio cornors of alleys, ha sprung over
ditohea, bo oxpiorod sheds and out-houaes, bnt
tbe fluid for which hia sonl yoarnod could no.
where be toned. ” Ho went hap hazard into
one bnilding which bo thought might be “
saloon," and enoonntcretl a prayer-meeting,
In anothor be fonnd a Farmer’s Club. Finally,
he received trustworthy information that “there
was not a drop of liqnor in the place.’’ He left,
end wroto to his journal that the town of Gree
ley was “without inhabitants, without resources,
and without commerce.”
Pebiionsz.—We had tbe pleasure of a call,
yesterday, from Mr. H. V. Itedfield, the well
known correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, who visits Macon to report on all mat
tors of interest that may strike him in connec
tion with the State Fair. We may confidently
look for a grapbio and faithful representation of
the actual situation, and its adjuncts and inci-
dcntVof every description, from hia spirited pen.
We hsve bad occasion, heretofore, to print and
oommond various extracts from his Southern
letters. He aoea intelligently, judges impartial
ly andiloscribea vividly. We arc assured from
his sntooodents, as known to ns, that be will
give the readers of the Commercial a truthful
and interesting report of the Goorgla State Fair
of 1871. _____
Gxx. Hum on tux Situation.—We print on
tho ontaido of this issue, a dispatch from Mont-
gomory covering thn main points in Gen. Frank
Blair's late speech there. It wilt bo aeon that
he bases bis strongest hopes of success in tbe
next 1’residential fight npon the Democracy
setting np some snch Republican as Carl Schurz
as tbeir candidate. Bnt be does not satiafactori
ly explain bow he or those who, with him, re
pudiate the “new departure," so-called, can
consistently support for President any man who
not only proclaims tbe validity of the amend
ment*, bnt declares that they were necessary,
and are right in themselves.
Death or Poor. Mautin, or nix Cnivebsitt
orYnoiNiA.—The Richmond Dispatch, of Mon
day. prints a dispatch from Lynchburg, dated
tbe day before, saying that this gentlemaa, for
many years Chairman of tbe Faonlty of tbe
University of Virginia, and ainoe a profi
in that institution, wss thrown from an ambu
lance that day while retaining from the Fair
Grounds, and so badly injured that he died that
night.
PiaaoNAU—Hon. C. P. Wooten, who repre
sented tbe 11 tb Senatorial District so ably in
the butt Legislature, has removed to this city,
and will eontine the practice of tbe legal pro
fession. lie U a gentleman of pleasing address,
and eminent talents, and will prove a most valu
able acquisition to onr bar and community.
Law Nones.—Our gifted yonng citixen, Mr.
Desaan, offers bis professional services to the
publio in a card published in onr columns to-day
The oollegiete career of this young gentleman
gave indications of promise, and he will proba
bly make hia mark in the future.
For Speaker ol Ike House.
Bdttors Trlegraph andMatengtr: The Legis
lature oonvenes very soon and tbe subiect of
offloering tbe two Houses is agitated, and is one
of importance. Nothing gives more reel weight
and dignity to a deliberative body, than an effi
cient presiding officer. Indeed, the strength of
ell snob bodies lies mainly in tbe ability,
promptness and efficiency of the presiding offl-
eer*. Me have, for tho first time in several
years, « very highly creditable Legislature, end
we should not fail to make each House even
ofTr^pd^oS^'*’ f ° rthe
We need then, os a presiding officer for each
house, a gentleman of experience, (both aa to
age and to point of legislative experience,) of
greet decision of character, and marked ability.
Taking the above as a role by which tbe House
■boaUl be governed in the selection of s pre-
riding offioer, we shall find no one better quali
fied for the high and responsible position of
Bpeaker than tbe Hon. dames M. Smith, of Co
lumbus. Colonel Smith is a native Georgian,
and served in the war as Oolonel of 13th Geor
gia regiment nnlil be was elected to Congress
in the winter of 1803. He is a lawyer, end has
readied tbe highest position that can be attained
in hi. profession. He has never sought offioe,
nor does be seek it now, bnt his friends who
know his worth will urge bis name for tbe poai-
Heeombines, with diatingabhed ability, leg-
iriative experience, strict integrity and decision
of character, an amiability of temper which
preeminently fits him for snch a position. I
do not mean to depreciate the worth of other gen-
Uemen, whose names have been spoken of in
*?^oSpoahorahip,when I thus speak
of OoL Smith; bnt I do mean to say, and all
*“o *»»» Wm will agree with me, that of ell
the members of the House, be is the man for
the place. Hia election would give weight and

Tax Stout that Won.—Tbe plucky Chicago
man who ordered a lot of sugars and syrups m
New York, just after the fire, and promised to
have bis store rebuilt by the time tbe goods ar
rived, bask opt hia word. On Thursday he tele
graphed to hia friends there: “We eater a new
■.tore to-morrow, made since tbe fire, and re
sume payment in foil and at maturity.” Much
men are the living reasons why we pin faith on
Chicago.
Atlanta Rumors.
A letter from Atlanta will be fonnd on onr
first page which, we think, deserves some <
meet. We have never beard the rumor to
which our correspondent alludes, but do not
doubt its existence in tbe least—given Atlanta
as its starting point It is twin brother to
many others of the same kind, all started for
one purpose end nothing else, viz: To raise a
scare in tbe Legislature, end nnder that pres
sure organize both houses thereof on a particu
lar basis, and to tbe interests of oettain parties
who will be heard of, very often, wo prodiot,
before tbe session is over.
With all due deference to our correspondent,
we do not think he can really believe in tbe er
intones of any each plot on the part of a few ex
treme State High's Democrats. He knows the
men at whom the rumor is aimed too weU to
believe that they have in view any purposes not
consistent with the purest motives, and the
strictest regard for the honor and interests of
the State. Such rumors may deceive some nerv"
oua folks, but certainly not him. He, it ae
to ns, ought to know that the gentlemen alluded
to have no intention of doing anything revolu
tionary, and that they will not move a band's
breadth in any matter wherein action becomes
necessary, without the fullest authority of,- and
tbe most impregnable backing by, tbe Law. No
matter what the subject of tbeir notion may be,
we, at least, are assured that it will all be intide
the organic end statute law—not outside. If Bul
lock baa done aught deserving impeachment and
that fact be inoonteatably proven they,to common
with the vast majority of the people will doubtless
demand that be be impeached. If the lease of
the State Boad shell be proven illegal and fradn-
lent, they, with tho poople at large, will doubt
less demand that it be set aside, and that the
law bo folly complied with without regard to the
lease being a good or a bad thing for the State.
That question will oome np when the other has
And ao with everything else that may come
within the scope of Legislative action—as
honestly and firmly believe. We are are not the
defenders of tho gentlemen whom onr corres
pondent says rumor charges with entertaining
these revolutionary designs. They are folly
ablo to take care of themselves. Bat we ii
upon, and shall demand justice for them, and
aU other Democrats. We protest, therefore,
against this effort to get up a scare in the party
by repeating aueh rumors. Let tho Legislature
be organized npon the basis of tbe bat men,
absolutely, for tbe various positions, and with
out any reference to what this man, or that
man, or this man's or that man's friends think
of Bullock's ease, or tho reconstruction of the
Supreme Court, or the lease of tbe State Boad
or any other question. Let there be no testa
set np bnt these: Is be a thoroughly honest
man—is be a capable man—is he a true Demo
crat? These are sufficient. They cover tbe
whole ground, and are all that the people re
quire, or will tolerate.
Yonr Threats will Fail.
There is a determined effort being made to
prevent investigation of the condoet of Gov.
Bullock, and save him from tbe conseqnenoes
of any miaoondnet in office of which be may
be fonnd guilty. We cannot understand what
a few persons mean, by what they say, if this is
not tho objoct. It is freely predicted that, if
Bollock is impeached and removed from office,
no matter what proof may be adduced, in less
than thirty days thereafter the whole country
will bo put under military role, and civil gov.
eminent suspended. This unmanly prediction
is very quietly, but with a very oonfident air,
whispered around by some who profess to be
Democrats; and by some who claim to have
aided, by their individual influence, in saving
ns from military rulo in days gone by, givrog
individual pledges for good behavior in the fu
ture.
A few persons belonging to these and like
classos, are uttering warning notes of tho con
sequences of so nub an act aa removing from
offioe a Governor who may be convicted of
high crimes and misdemeanors. The plea is,
apparently, that General Grant will support
and uphold convicted felons and publio plun
derers, and punish the people who impose the
penalties of law npon the perpetrators of snch
crimes.
Those who urge this plea are either lacking
in nerve to do right, or are aiming to cover up,
apologize for, and protect wrong doing. The
same unmanly plea was urged most vehement
ly, and threats oven were made, before Holden
of North Carolina, was removed; but he was
fonnd guilty of grave offences, and turned out.
The honest men of the Legislature were not de
terred from performing tbeir duty by such pre
dictions and threats.
Wo trust the Legislature off Georgia will not
hear these evil predictions, bnt will discharge
tbeir duty to the State and the people, and take
tbe conseqnenoes.
When tbe Legislature meets, it will, of course,
investigate the charges which will be preferred
against the Governor. It will, we have no doubt,
make a clear and impartial investigation, unin
fluenced either by passion on the one hand, or
fear on tho other. If be is fonnd to be innocent
of any wrongdoing, be will be vindicated, as be
ought to be. If be is found guilty of crime or
misdemeanor, bo will be turned out of bis office,
as be ought to bo. Those who are trying to
hush np investigation, or to save him from pun
ishment if fonnd guilty, by appealing to cur
fears and prophesying evil, are wasting their
breath. Such, at loa9t, is our judgment in this
We beiievo tbe Legislature is composed of men
wbo are made of sterner stuff than to quail or
shrink from publio duty, before such wickedly
intended prophesying*.—Atlanta Sun.
The Western Fir on—Horrible Scenes.
A letter was received at Green Bay, Wiscon
sin, on October 14 th from a committee sent np
to Poshtego to relieve tbe sufferings of tbe citi-
of that city. We quote from the Tribnno,
of the 19th, a pert of its contents as fellows:
“I am now writing by tbe light of a piece
pork with a atiek through it and stack in the
{round. Oar tents are rather shabby affairs.
Mill, we are cheerful, and mean to work as long
as we can accomplish any good. * * * It
seems that the tornado wps fearful, and the
country was one sea of fire, making the heat
intense beyond power of endurance. Three
settlements on tbe Sugar Bush Boad were en
tirely consumed. In many eases the men be-
' and gave up in despair; and,
sooner than be roasted alive, deliberately com
mitted snieide with knives and other weapons.
Large numbers of sufferers are arriving at this
point, from the interior, every boor. We are
administering to tbeir wants by binding np
their wounds, and giving them food, and send
ing them to Menominee and Marinettee. We
are camped on tbe river where once was the
village of Feshtego, bnt where not a
bnilding baa been left standing.
“Tho water will be drawn from tbe pond to
morrow, where we expect to find from 100 to 125
dead bodies, who were drowned in attempting
to escape from the fire. It is now estimated
that tbe whole number of people drowned and
burned to death will reach 500. Whole families
yet remain unbnried. Tbe great difficulty
to have been that tbe people inhaled the fire,
and hundreds are now suffering from this cause.
Of tbeir intecso agony no tongue can tell or
words describe; snch ghastly sights we hope
never to see again. I will mention one case of
Utile girl, 12 years old, who saved her Uttie
ater from death, bat who was advised by many
to desist from the attempt lest she herself should
Mriab. She heeded them not, however, bnt
>y the moat heroio efforts she succeeded in res
cuing her Uttie sister from tbe merciless flames.
Her father, mother, brothers, and other sisters
perished in the devouring element And after
the fire had abated somewhat she worked her
way back over hot ashes and burning coala and
dragged the dead bodies of her relatives ont in
to an open space, end then stood watching their
charred remains aU day and through tbe long
end desolate night that followed. That is child
heroism the like of which was never recorded.”
“8:30.—Another team has just oome in with
landed persons. It has traveled all day
through a thickly settled country, but never saw
s (ingle house standing. The driver says that
the country is literally oovered with dead and
dying victims. In one place alone forty dead
bodies were fonnd lying together. One man
eras fonnd who had traveled sinoe Sunday with
a little child in hia arms, suosiating on potatoes
which were found in the fields. We gave the
child some wine and brandy which partially
it. Tbe Uttie creature was nearly dead
in its father’ arms.”
News in Bbixt.—The Chicago custom bouse,
with its vault in which upward* of $2,000,000
burned, is pronounced by the Tribune, of
that city, to have been “a fraud of the most
barefaced description.” Tho term “fire proof,”
applied to it, is “a piece of irony tho most
