Bollock—*11 Itodicato, and all flrat-ctoas deyel-

other* whoae name* came and went ao thick and

and aomo of them were high and mighty maker*
of the law* they were ao fond of violating. The
Bl Louis Republican suggest* that the admin
istration organ* go back through their tllea for
a year, collect all tbeee name*, and construct
them into a Radical •■pyramid.” It would be
an interesting and instructive edifice; there
would be member* of Congress, Governors of
State*, custom* collectors, internal revenue col

common structure, reared a* a monument to the
loyal party of th* country.
Da. Acocstixi I*vitro Molinw, of Talla
dega, Ala., died la Philadelphia, last Monday,
at the age of fifty. He left his home some
three weeks ago—attended Presbytery at Ttu-
kegee, and then paid short visits to hia children
and relative* in Montgomery and Maoon, leav
ing Macon on the 25th of October, after view
ing the State Fair here, with which he wa*
much delighted. He went to Philadelphia to
gratify a professional curiosity in regard to
aomo recent improvement* and disooveriea in
surgical and medical practice, stopping in
North Carolina on the way, to visit a son in
oollege in that Bute. In these journeying* he
probably contracted a cold, which terminated
bis valuable life very suddenly, after his arrival
in Philadelphia.
Dr. MeAIpine was a skillful and experienced
physician, engaged in a very largo prectioe, a
ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church for
nearly a generation, and a Christian whoae
cheerful and glowing piety diffused happim
all around him. Every act and word were
moulded by deep religious feeling and princi
ple, and the whole manner of the man was as
guileless and affectionate as a child. How such
a man will be missed in his family—missed at
the bedside of the sick—missed in the church
—the prayer meeting and the social circle—
missed everywhere, as a living embodiment of
the religion of his Saviour, we can sorrowfully
Imagine. It will be a sad day when the people
of Talladega assemble to pay the last honors to
his venerated corpse.
Tito Bird's-Eye View of .Huron.
Sr. Lotus, Mo., November 3, 1871.
To the Subtcribtrt of the Birdie-Kye Piets of
Macon: A* the time is near at band that we
expected to have the view of your city ready for
delivery, wo are sorry to announce that we can-
not deliver them now. We will explain the rea
son : The best lithographer of our views having
gone to Chieago, we sent our sketch there to be
lithographed, knowing if he did it, we eonld
furnish you good work. Tho picture was nearly
oompletod iu good style when the great confla
gration thore swept away all our sketches, view*,
and lithographic stones. We saved nothing of
your city to enable us to goon without resketch-
lug it, which we are about ready to do. Our loss
has been very heavy; but all we ask of our sub-
aoribers Is their indulgenoo by waiting a litttle
longer than wo erected to when canvassing.
We will endeavor to bring you a good picture as
soon aa poaaible. Respectfully, yours,
A. Itcoin.
Tnx Nxw Sedative aim Ire Dasaxas.—The
London Lanoet calls attention to the enormous
manufacture of the new sedative drug, chloral
It states that it is sold by tons a week, and
quotes a letter from Baron Liebig, affirming
that one German chemist manufactures and
sells half a ton every week. Of course, no such
quantity is used in medioine, and the Lancet
seems half afraid that it gets into beer; but, the
London Spectator says, there is a simpler explan
ation. Taking chloral is the new and popular
vioe, particularly among women, and is doing
at least aa much harm aa alcohol. The drug is
kept in thousands of dressing cases, and those
who begin its use often grow so addicted to it
that they pass their lives in a sort of oontented
stupefaetion. Chloral drunkards will soon be
an admitted variety of tbs species.
Tux “Miutabi Gotxunob" Stobt.— Else
where we have referred to the prevalence of
sensational stories at Atlanta, just at this time
and given our opinion aa to the reason therefor.
The story of H. O. Cole's being appointed
“Military Governor” caps them all, though,
and we are rather surprised at our Atlanta oor-
respondent a telegraphing snoh stuff. What he
wants and what we want is newt, but that is un
mitigated bosh. One of Munchausen's whoppers
would be as apropos. Let us have some ghost
of probability at least in our rumors.
A colored member of the Texan Legislature
was recently seen with a roll of green becks in
hla hand, over whioh he ohuckled so loudly aa
to attract the attention of a bystander, who
said to him, “What are yon laughing at, Jim 7”
Jim replied, “You see that money 7” “Yea.”
“Well, boas, I just got that for my vote. I’se
been bought four or five times in my life, but
dia la do fust time I ever got de cash myself.”—
Cincinnati Commercial
Noam Caboltna Caorrrao.—The Raleigh
Sentinel, of Saturday, aays that Mr. J. T. Town
send, on the Cape Fear, near Fayetteville, raised
this year twenty bales of cotton, 400 pounds
eaob, and com and provisions enough to supply
him next year, with two plow* and about three
hands, and this notwithstanding the drouth.
Cbicaoo families of three persona receive
daily a peck of potatoes, three pounds of pork,
one pound of sugar, one pound of cheese, three
loaves of bread, one pound of crackers, one
bar of soap, one oabbage and two quarts of
onions.
I'angcntty Pasted.
The Boston Port thinks enough of the Great
Absquatulator to give him the following adver
tisement :
Governor Bullock has preferred speedy slaugh
ter by hia own net to tho more painful fate, a
living barbecue, in fact, which his Georgia ene
mies have been preparing for him. His resig
nation earn* none too soon. The Georgia Leg
islature is hot for impeachment. The Attorney
General has been instructed to commence a crim
inal suit against the fugitive Governor for coin
ing large amount* of State bonds without au-
thonty of law, and that very ugly matter of the
sale of the State railroad has also come up for
investigation. No wonder that Bullock withes
to “wash hia hands of Georgia forever.” It is
only too evident that all his washing will not
male them clean; and if that were hi. purpose
he might with belter effect bave allowSd Mm-
‘° **>• very eff“tive^rS,g-
ingmacMne which the Legtalature is now pit
paring. Such an array of rascalities as has been
brought up against this loyal Governor of a re-
oonstructed State would .uffloe to drive any man
either ont of the oountty or into resignation.
Bullock has chosen both. He will not visit the
aoeneo of his exploits in bonds and railroads,
nor will be longer retain official connection with

Db. Hicks.—Tho Baltimore Christian Advo
cate, inlrodocicg a paragraph from the Macon
tv, .rimon ass Missengeb to to its readers,
says:
Seldom hare we road a paragraph with more
intense delight than tho one we give below from

We have a particular interest in Dr. Hicks,
having brought him out in the ministry while
ho wan yet a youth of nineteen. God bleoa him!
NIHy Sensational Stories.
We are rather loaing our appetite for ihia
sort of diet Anything in reason we do not ob
ject to, bat baked beans for breakfast, dinner
and supper are apt to become a little monoton
ous.
Vie hear from Atlanta that there are a lot
hammer* in that city who spend their time in
manufacturing all kinds of nunore about Fed
eral interference with Georgia affaire, and that
some weak kneed Democrats in the Legislature
listen to them too much for their own good.
These are all devioea of the Radical enemy
paralyze Democratic energy and they should be
ao understood. A good many of these reports,
if traced to their origin, would be fathered
upon men who have a personal interest in
smothering np certain investigation*, the fall
result of which might prove very disastrous
them. If they can snooeed in creating an im
pression that any measure is regarded as “revo
lutionary" at Washington, they are satisfied,
for they know there are some men in the Legis
lature who shy at Grant just as s hone blind
one eye does st a stomp on the roadside. Just
ssy “military government” or martial law
them, and they are struck all of s heap. They
would hardly dare aay there souls were their
own if they were told Grant and Akerman might
oonatrneitas a “revolutionary”utteranoe. Such
men have no business in the Legislature, but
there they are, and the Radical sensation mon
gers make their profit ont of them accordingly.
In deoency’s name let ns have done with all
this whimper and trepidation about “martial
law.” If Grant thinks it is needed to secure
bis election, nothing the Legislature can do
omit to do, will stay hia band. Let the repre
sentatives of the people of Georgia, elected
freemen to act for freemen, wisely consider
what is their duty, and that ascertained, let them
do it without regard to what may be thought
it at Washington or anywhere else. There are,
of course, considerations of publio policy and
expediency to be heeded to a certain extent, but
the main point la to do only the things that are
right, and leave the oonsequenoea to care for
themselves. We oonnsel now, as we always
have, the practice of the most conspicuous
teitdom and moderation, but we demand for
juetice equal deference. There la a happy me
dium between ruinous rashness and ruinous
timidity, which can always be fonnd when
■ought for by men of brave hearts and honest
intentions. Let the Georgia Legislature place
itself on that line and stand firm. Let its motto
be paratue etfidelie.
TIio Ancients vs. the moderns.
Harper’s Monthly, which, unlike the Weekly,
seems not to be wholly “a journal of [modern]
civilization,” in an article npon the character
istics of ancient cities, hts the following
Integrity woe prized at the chief of civic vir
tues. To make profit from a publio office was
an unpardonable crime. Pericles boasted that
ha had never increased his moderate inheritance
by a single drachma through all bis long tenure
of office. Aristides was known as the Uneor-
rnpt. In the pnrer days of Rome the greet
lived in poverty, and Fabridns cooked bis own
simple fare. Cato was so caretnl of his honor
ibst he weighed and accounted for all the gold
be brought from the East. Regains, rather than
violate an oath, went back cheerfully to slavery
and death, leaving hia family dependent on
charity. Of all the plunder of wealthy Carthage
he took nothing. Horace has painted, in the
grandest of his lyrics, the man of conscious in
tegrity, who, intent on some noble aim, defies
the rage of tyrants or the clamors of the people.
Juvenal and Tacitus, in deathless satires, hold
up to a degenerate age the rigor of ancient hon-
gesty. Lycnrgus was for twelve years the eon-
•trolier of Athena in its last decline. Millions of
revenue passed through his binds, yet every
fourth year his aeoonnts were audited, and were
fonnd to be rigidly correct. At length, when
he waa dying, be demanded anew examination.
The auditors reviewed hia long career; his sc-
connta were again declared perfectly accurate
they were engraved on marble tablets, and the
Athenian controller died happy in the approval
of bia own conscience and of bis native city.
Fragments of the marble tablets, it is said, have
been discovered at Athens, and might prove in
a tractive for modern financiers.
Now let the “Journal of Civilization” give
the world a fair sketch of the political morals
of the last half of the 19th century, and tell ns
wherein and how much “the march of progress”
has raised the standard of political integrity.
Wo heard a grave man yesterday predict that
the Presidential canvass of 1872 would hinge
npon a grand popular uprising in behalf of
eommon honesty and decency in the pnblio ad-
ministration. Bat on a setond Ihonght, with a
puzzled expression of countenance, be added—
“That ia to aay, if the people have not absolutely
lost all faith in, and hope for honesty in poli
ticians.”
In these words he illustrated the common
idea of the niter, shameless and irredeemable
corruption of the government—of the total ab
sence of honor, conscience, rectitude and patri
otism which was inaugurated with the Radical
era of the publio administration. And all this
has been the work of a single decade. Ten
year* ago the Radicals took possession of almost
all the governments. State and National, and
the result has been sn unfathomable deluge of
rascality.
It is true, some of the monsters floundering
therein are Democrats (so-called); bnt the Rad-
ioals created the element and set the example.
They have introduced this flood tide of public
demoralization. They have so debased the pub
lic service, as to make it synouimous with cor
ruption, and it cannot be truthfully denied that
from their President down to the lowest func
tionary, alt—all are the objects of universal,
popular suspicion and distrust. Ail are believed
to be reaching after irregular and unlawful
emoluments, if not involved in more direct
breaches of good faith and sound morals.
How will this state of things compare with the
days of Pericles, “who never increased his mod
erate inheritance by a single dracham through
all his long tenure of office 7” How does Grant
who has amassed a large fortune in two or three
yean compare with Pericles?
Will the storm which ia raging against Stale
and municipal corruption reach the great oen-
tral seat of the fonl disorder 7 Will it affect
the tribe of speculators, gift-takers and pecula
tor* at Washington? Will it cleanse the great
Federal Augean stables? That ia the question.
But aa long as the rank malversation and fraud
pervading tbs Federal Government is only a
matter of innendo, joke and sooff by the pub
lio press of both parties, let ns keep still about
“human progress and the wonderfol advance
ment of the age”—because, the main progress is
in knavery—a shameless treason to all the obliga
tions of patriotism—the injunctions of religion
and the rights of the people.
Colton Crop Report from MIsssIs-
stppl, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas
and Alabama.
In Sunday’s New Orleans Picayune, we find
a cotton crop report for October, gotten np by
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, and furnish
ed that paper by Ur. Henry G. Hester, Super
intendent of the Assoeiatiation. From* it we
mike the following extraet:
The committee on information and statistics
(abstaining as heretofore from making any esti
mate themselves of the probable quantity to be
sent to market), submit the following report of
the purport of advieea received by them during
the past month, concerning the crop of cotton
now being harvested in the States hereinafter
mentioned, viz:
We have reports from this State, dating most
ly from 13th to 23d October. The weather since
15th September has been favorable for picking.
Crops have been materially diminished by cat
erpillars in a few counties. About three-eighths
of the whole crop is said to have been already
gathered, and the average of estimates indicate
a yield of five-eighths per acre as compared with
last year. The number of laborers is reported
as amply sufficiently to secure what has been
nomsux.*.
The bulk of onr letters embrace the dates be
tween 18th and 21st of October, and represent
the weather as having been, on the whole, fa.
vorable for picking since 15th September. We
hear of injnry from wind and rain, bnt in only a
few parishes. About one half the crop is Baid
to have been already picked. Previous reports
of damage done by caterpillars and boll worms
are confirmed. The average of animates indi
cate about one-half of last year's vield per
acre. Labor ia said to be amply sufficient to
gather <hi» diminished yield. Light frosts have
fallen in some places.
Our reports date from October 14th to Octo
ber 2C:1l The weather ia reported, generally,
a* favorable to picking. Boils are opening fast
and finely. Bat little damage has been done
by worm,, and that only in a few Southern
counties, since our last report. None of conse
