SATURDAY MORNING. DEO. 2, 187T.
Urnnd Jnry Presentment* or «lnlt-
ninn t'onnly.
We, the Grand Jurors, chosen, sworn and se
lected tor the November Term, 1871, of <JnlU
Superior Court, beg leave to make the fol-
*° We^find'Se booka°f the Ordinary and Clerk
of the Court kept in a neat and correct manner.
The Court-bouae la in good repair. There are
a few panes of glass wanting in some of the
windows; but, on the whole, we think it unnec
essary to make any recommendations in regard
to the building, bat think the yard should be
cleaned and the grass in the enclosure cut down.
We Hod the jail undergoing repair and think,
when ooinoleted. will be secure, the upper por
tion albeit The lower story we do not think
can be made sufficiently secure ss it now stands,
bnt wa think the upper story will be sufficient
for tho asfo keeping of prisoners.
We bare examined the books of tho County
Treasurer. No entry has been made by that
offieer since the last session of the oonrt, in con
sequence of the taxes not having bean paid
over. Tho disbursements then exceeded the
noeipts to the amount of about 9380.00, and
at this body then approved the action of the
Treasurer, we mske no recommendation, there
having been no change in his account.
The roods of tho county are reported to be in
good condition, in fact, they are in better order
than we remember to hare seen them for years,
sod wa commend the Commissioners and others
in charge, for thefaithfnl discharge of ibis doty.
As there seems to be a good deal of disaatia-
faction among the citizens of the county in oon-
aeqoenoe of the failure of the Ordinary to re
quire a bond for keeping up tho turnpike on
l'ataula creek, we would recommend him in fu
ture to require bond and security for keeping
up public works from those to whom the con
tract is awarded.
We tender our sinoere thanks to His Honor,
Judge Barroll, for bis uniform kindness end
courtesy to our body, and commend him for the
manner in which the hnsinees of the oonrt ia
conducted. Our thanks sro also due to Solicitor
General l’srker for bin polite attention to our
body.
We recommend the publication of these pre
sentments in the Haoon Daily Telkompti asp

Nomination lor Governor—lion. Mil'
ton Niullli.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : Tbo mil
isunium of mediocrity is npon ns. The dis
franchisement of o large number of our ablest
and heat citizens has deprived the State of the
benefit of their servioes when she sorely needed
them; and a deep disgust at the conrso which
eventa havo taken in tha last few years bss
driven many olhora from public life who bsve
character and capacity, ileclor is dead, and
AohlUea is moping moodily in his tent, and the
arena which they illnstrated with great deeds iB
occupied by those who cannot wield the weapooa
or bear the heavy armor which they wore.
Idiots and itinerants—adventurers and “nvsila-
bles"—non-residents and negroes—have been
teen so often in Georgia, during the supremacy
of tho Radical party, in places of trust and
power, that wo, the Democratic people of
Georgia, havo inaensibly lowered our standard
of qualification for office, and accept with favor
tho candidacy of individual now whoso candi-
daoy before the war would have !>een received
with a about of derision. Hodioorit; bsa had
its day. •• Loyalty” has hud its roward. Venal
ity and oorrapUon have bad their apotheosis.
Let us tako a new departure, which shall bring
us back into tha way our fathers trod by placing
capable and honest men in office. This recon
structed State, which ean hardly be recognized
as the proud Oonimonwoslth of Georgia—this
old bulk of our onoo proud “Ship of State'.' dis
masted and dismantled, with rudder and ootn-
paaa gone, has not reached quiet waters yet, and
needs the ooolest heads and the bravest hearts
and the most skillful bands among her crew to
ssve her.
Bollock oonfeiwes his guilt—tor flight is oon-
fosaion—and slmoonds. Let ns reap the fall
benefit of his flight by placing a Democrat iu
tbo position ho bss so long degraded and dis-
graood, who will restore the reputation of the
State, redeem its credit, and exercise its Execu
tive powers with dignity, ability and honesty.
Milton Smith, tho Speakor of the llonsa, ia that
Democrat. He is honest, nnd capable, and able,
and eligible. lie has had the stern discipline of
poverty and has grown into a strong man under
it—strong in body, strong in mind, strong in
will and strong in principle, lies red by bniuhle
and honest parents in Monroo county, nnd com-
mencing his professional career in Onlloden.
where his first forensic efforts were made, within
hearing of the ring of bis fathers hammer upon
tha anvil, bo has grown slowly and steadily nnttl
to-day he is recognized by all who know him as
one of the ablest lawyers and one of tbo most
gifted orators in tjjo State. Without a particle
of the cant of domagoginm he may be said to
be one of the people. Let the people honor him
by making him the standard-bearer of tho De
mocracy In the approaching Gubernatorial elec
tion without reference to the plana of politicians
or the combination of cliques, and be will re-
oeiva tha enthnaiaslic support of Democratic
masses, especially iu Middle Gboboia.
J. Ai Anslry mill Mr. Speaker Smith
unit the Legislative t'oiiiinlltee*.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger.- I see that
one Mr. J. A. Ansley, perhaps, for the purpose
of showing GoL Smith that ho r(collects an old
aaaa in oonrt, in which the iaitor'a ability as an
attorney proved rather damaging to A'a kins
man, or may bo, to himself; or perhaps again,
he may have a candidate for Governor who is
rather weak, and dog-in-the-manger like he may
be wanting to pull down also Col. Smith, or
anyone else in Southwestern Georgia; or per
haps again Mr. A. may want to show his “lam
ing" and get a little notoriety. Something very
moving must be the matter with him, for all at
ones we have a “Daniel oome to judgment.'’
An Individual that few, if any, over heard of
before, outside of his militia heat, Solon or
Solomon Uka—writes about that of which he
knows nothing. While every member of the
Legislature, or other person that has three
grams of sense, knows that Chairmen of Com
mittees only differ from other members by re
porting to a larger body or the public wbat the
whole committee adopts or agree to, and that
said chairman has no more power or influence
on that. eommiUee than any other member of
equal ability and labor, yet this second Daniel,
or rather aeoond Solomon, In his own conceit,
has found out that a chairman of a committee
is a very important piece, and aaaails and mis-
reproaonta Col Smith—charging him with not
doing jostioe to hia own section and his own
people. As “A Member” has saffidenUy (and
more than sufficiently) expoaed Mr. A.'* state
ments, I will go no farther than to say that ad
mitting saII that Mr. A. says about the Chairmen
be true, yet every one who will look ever the
various most important eommitieoa will at ©noe
see that Southwest and lower and Middle Geor
gia, all identical ia Interest, have the controlling,
power or the majority in all these committees.
And what more would any fair man in South
western Georgia desire 7
I know Col Smith well, and am satisfied that
in forming his committees he did not lock
to giving any one particular interest, or
say one particular section an advantage over
•h* °*£,® r ’ but it happens that Southwest, lower
and Middle Georgia, having more members
than any any other portion of Georoia-they
have the majority on tho committee*.
Iu ooneUatoo, I would say that reliable in
formation from Atlanta, represents CoL Smith
aa vary Popular with members from every sec
tion of the State, and that he is by long odds
0 living in wertandSooth-
west Gerngla. Southwestern Georgians are
proud of him, and should he be nominated and
sftMtad Governor, all of ns will rejoice, except
**“ * nd **“ osndrdato, who he
is no doubt writing tor.

No. 60 Second atreet.
FOR 1872.
For uearly half a century the Georgia Telegraph and the Georgia
Journal and Messenger, either separately or united, have been tlio
great organs of general intelligence to this and the contiguous sections
of Georgia and Alabama. In all the varied social, civil and political
experience of this region during that extended and momentous period
in its history, these old Journals have been the constant aud familiar
visitors of thousands of households in this vast area of country, and
have numbered their readers and patrons by successive generation*
In the whole scope of this great Agricultural section of two of the
most important Cotton States, the fortunes of these journals have varied
simply with the varying fortunes of the people, and to-day their cir
culation and hold upon the public confidence and estimation have never
been exceeded at any period in their long history. Indeed, as the
demands upon newspapers became yearly more exacting—the expen
ses of publication increase and concentration of capital and labor be
come more indispensable, so, we are glad to say, our circulation and
influence increase with equal steps. The former have multiplied morv
than tenfold in the last twenty years, and the circulation and busine* •
of the Telegraph and Messenger have increased in the same propor
tion. We rejoice to believe that in no section of the United States is
there a newspaper possessing a more complete occupation of its pecu
liar field of circulation than do the various editions of the Telegraph
and Messenger, within that whole region of country to which it can
carry the earliest intelligence. Its circulation in gross we suppose to
be not exceeded by that of any newspaper in the Carolinas, Georgia
Alabama and Mississippi, with perhaps a single exception, but its cir
culation in its appropriate and particular field, is without an approxi
mating rival.
These are the circumstances and this the condition which make the
Telegraph and Messenger such a remarkably good Advertising Me
dium. There is scarcely a family or individual doing business with
Macon, within a radius of two or three hundred miles around the citv
who does not read the paper, so that an advertisement in its columns
reaches all eyes. The Macon merchant can scarcely add a greater
publicity to his business, among people who can trade with him, after
lie has advertised in this paper. The Northern or Western merchant
or manufacturer can rely on the fact that by advertising in this paper
he will address the whole mercantile, professional and agricultural
population of this large area, and need go no further for that purpose.
We are frequently in receipt of testimonials from advertisers of all
classes as to the peculiar value of this newspaper as an advertising
medium. \
And wo are ready to place these advantages at tho disposal of the
public on the most reasonable terms compatible with our expenses and
circulation. Our policy is to encourage advertising by moderate
charges; but it must be obvious to every man of common sense that
we cannot multiply copies of advertisements by thousands, for the
same price that others can furnish them by scores and hundreds. This
point is better understood in the great commercial centres where ad
vertising is valued and paid for precisely according to the scale of cir
culation—where one paper will be cheerfully paid three dollars a line
and another five cents a line for the same advertisement, according to
their measure of circulation. The first furnishes paper, press-work
and circulation for a hundred thousand impressions, and the latter
perhaps for a few hundreds. The contracts have all the difference
which exists between a pound and hogshead of sugar; but both, it
may be, print and circulate a merchant’s address to the public for less
than half what a corresponding number of circulars or handbills would
cost, which could have no other circulation than they might obtain
from a range of limited personal acquaintances and mere fugacious
personal efforts. There can be no cheaper or better method of ad
vertising than through the columns of a popular, widely circulated
newspaper, which by long habit and association has become the daily
source of information to all within the scope of country which fur
nishes the trade of its commercial centre. All other expedients to
communicate with the people are comparatively inefficient and value
less. We place the Telegraph and Messenger before the public, as
a certain, popular, and unrivalled medium of advertising communica
tion with all that part of Georgia and Alabama which looks to Macon
for its market or for the earliest news.

THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH & MESSENGER
Is an immense sheet, 38x52 inches in size and containing fifty-six col
umns. It is designed to contain a fuU and connected history of the
week, aud although its great size is complained of by some, yet wc
find the whole space essential to the grand design of the paper. A
family in possession of this paper need be ignorant of no important
event in the world’s current history, or miss any important
idea or discovery of the times. In State news it covers the whole
ground and gives aU current events of importance in every county
of Georgia. It also furnishes an invaluable original summary of foreign
news—and gives the latest market advices from every commercial
point. This paper is a universal favorite of the Georgians who have
emigrated to Texas and other distant points, and in this way its cir
culation is coextensive with the United States and is, in fact, scattered
over foreign countries,
- We feel that so invaluable a paper, large as its circulation is, has
never yet attained the fuU measure of its deserts, Will not its readers
everywhere interest themselves in extending the sphere of its useful
ness ? The price of the paper is three dollars per annum, but if any
reader has a mind to add another new subscriber to the list, he may
remit five dollars, and we will send the paper to the new subscriber
and add a year to his own account.

Is a compact paper with few advertisements, and furnished twice a
week. We most particularly recommend this edition to those who
have more than one and less than six mails a week
In this connection we call attention to the propositions at the head
of the first column in tills edition.
With the approaching year we enter upon the canvass for the next
Presidency—an event fraught with momentous results to the South,
and which cannot fail to awaken absorbing interest among the people.
The progress and conclusion of this grand event, wiU be chronicled
with particular care by the Telegraph and Messenger, and aU the
questions and facts which affect its result wiU receive very careful at
tention. We hope all our readers and patrons, old and new, wiU assist
us in increasing the circulation and usefulness of all our editions.
