Nome Letters About Washington minister*
—Tbe Methodist Question In Politics.
(George Albert Townsend (Oath) in Chicago Tri-
A clergyman by tba nam* of Newman, usu
ally called Pr. Newman by virtue of some com-
alimentary degree qualifying him to prescribe
for tbe aonla of folks, ha* been getting an edi
tor to deny that ha (Newman) ever trotted
around tbe departments at Washington to get
offioas. Hi* daatal waa swiftly followed np by
aa many aa a dozen people reporting at my bouse
with direct lnatanoaa of this man’s andaeity in
office-begging. Last year tbe Chaplaincy at
West Point waa recommended to bo vacated,
by a couple of these preachers, in order that
on* or tbo other of them might gat into the place.
It ia currently reported here that the reo-
ummendatiooa of thaao olerioal visitors ao-
oompfiabed th* retirement of old Father Ma
han, the engineer there, and that his suicide
resulted from the mortification of tbe blow.
Mr. Oorbam, tbe Secretary of the United
Sutra Sana I a, gave me an instance of clerical
andaeity only yesterday. A certain chaplain
earns to him and aaid: “Mr. Secretary, aa I am
tbe Chaplain of tbia body, and have been eleotad
to fill tba place for tba period of this Congress,
I wish to ask if yon have any objection to ad
vancing my salary for tbo whole of that time,
and I wlU ua* it to parabase Government bonds,
wbiob I will put in you bands aa security, to
t bat in no ceae can yon lose anything." Gorham,
with much apparent aiiiiplloiiy, looked np at tbe
reverend investor, and aaid: “Well, Ur. ,
of course, being a clergyman, you are apt not to
ass tbe whole situation in a business matter like
this. These bonds will bear interest while they
are in my hands, and, aa tbe government does
net owe you anything, yon can readily see that
it would not be exactly right for yon to take in
terest from it. I am sure I have only to sug
gest this to you mind in order that you can see
tbe full force of my objections.” The olergy.
man want away sorrowfully, for bo bad ex
pected great possessions.
Tbia next atory ta told bar* by the brother-
in-law of General Sherman, npon another cler
gyman. Thia clergyman waa one of those who
went to New Orleans early in tbe war, deputed
by the Board of Methodist Bishops to book a
church from tbe Southern organization of tbe
Methodist body, and transfer it, under Federal
protection, lo the Church of the North. This
species of ecolcsiastieal grand larceny it per
fectly consistent with a certain grade of point-
co-religious morals. Tbe attempt waa a failure,
for the Doited State* Courts note down upon
Ik But the atory, which I began to tell, ia{*a
follows: A certain lady of New Orleaim, to
whom out olerioal ambassador had Utters of
Introduction, and who sympathized with bis
holy office and with bis temporary T personal
misfortune of being without a home in a
strange city in time of war, offered the rever
end gentleman accommodations in her house.
To the mortification of the family, however,
it waa found that our clergyman held a regular
daily levee, from fifty to a hundred person*
daily o*lling npon him, as it it had been a
military headquarters. The lady sought the
adrioe of her friends aa to what ah* should do,
and abe was told that tbe shortest way was th*
beet and frank eat. So aha was obliged to say
to tba clergyman that, when he first appeared
in th* city, ah* had expected tha* it would be a
pleasure to aotartain him, but that, under the
circumstance*, it waa no longer so, and aha
hoped be would taka the suggestion kindly and
soak other accommodations. Instead of show,
ing gratitude for paat kindntKseo, it is related
that thia clergyman, smarting with resentment,
went to th* military headquarters of the city
and reported his hoot for rebellious affiliations,
and bad her bona* seized end confiscated.
Such * tale aa thta would appear to be incredi-
blo, but It U familiarly told her*.

TELEBBAPH AND MESSENGER
FOR 187S.
For nearly half a century the Georgia Telegraph and the Georgia
Journal and Messenger, either separately or united, have been the
great organs of general inteUigence 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 codstaut and familiar
visitors of thousands of households in this vast area of country, and
have numbered their readers and patrons by successive generations
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 more
than tenfold in the last twenty years, and the circulation and business
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 city,
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
he 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 we are ready to place these advantages at the 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
vertisiug is valued and paid for precisely according to the scale of cir
culation—where one paper wiU 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 Alacon
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 full and connected history of the
week, and although its great size is complained of by some, yet we
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 i3 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 wiU send the paper to the new subscriber
and add a year to his own account.
