WEDNESDAY UORNIKO. PEO. 27. 1871.
Ilrralil Srarrh lor Dr. UftapUW
The Now York ItcraM, of teat Friday, eon-
«.m |d • ptp of liiat paper, tin lint report of
an expedition eent out by He proprietor to knot
np the greet English traveller, Dr. Livingstone.
TUi t« an UJnjtraUon of “the Herald's Eater
prise" far ahead of anything which haa yet been
prednoed, bat nothingto what ia coming, for it
w«U shortly be followed by an expedition in
quest of Un Ten Lost Tribe*—an open road to
the North Pole—and the diaentombment of Nin
ereh, Babylon and the Holy City; and whUe
all this is going on, the Herald iaalao preparing
instrument* for celestial observation with great
teas of more than fire miles' diameter, by which
the mlnnleat transactions in all the plane la of
our solar system will be laid bare to the regu
lar reporters of that paper, and daily interviews
with the “man In the moon” and well known
planetary intelligences be printed in each mom.
log's Hamid; so that the whole astronomical
world will lay aside their penny traps in despai
and be oompolled, like everybody else, to rely
npoc the Herald alone for the earliest intelli
gence.
In regard to information thus far obtained by
ths Herald's onmmiaaion, we ere oompellod to
be brief, because Here was nothing to tell, al
though He commissioner rambles over six ool-
umna to let os know that fact. Briefly, then,
he had arrived at Hat great African centre of
light and civilisation called Unyanjembe, After
£22 miles' travel—UUle or none of it by express
train. He had seen some negroes who Were
black, wiH kinky hair—also swamps—met with
a young rascal called Palloo, n very bad fellow
—bad a disagreeable time at Bagomoyo—also
at Cgogo—also at Wagogo -also at several
other gagas—bad seen sundries wiH unpro
nounceable names who told him Dr. Livingstone
was ttill on Mr road to Vjiji, and He commis
sioner eras going after him full split. As Liv
ingstone has now been on that road to Ujijl for
a number of year*, the strongest confidence is
felt that bo must know all about it by His
time, and be able to keep out of He bad ptaees
in He road. It will relieve He pnblio to know
Hat His ugly piece of road which is so difficult
to get over, is west of Cgubba.
PrsoMxxu.— Macon went mad Hi* Christmas
on fireworks, and ended in a display not in the
bilia. From Sunday night to Monday night it
was one inoosaant pop, rattle, bang and phiaz—
till suffering hnraanity begged in vain for re
lief. The whole town waa enveloped in fog and
smoke, and will not be clear of Ibe ami-11 of
fireworks for a fortnight.
About leu thousand dollars, more or le« in
value, went up aa Are offerings to Ho Chinee
■lagon, and every man will say, if I had that
money in my pocket now, I know I could make
a better use of it. The modern improvement*
in Are crackers have greatly aggravated the
annoyance and He mischief. The poppox of
a fow years ago has now swollen into a two
pound paper bomb-aheU, and explodes with He
noise of an old faahioued blunderbuss. Horse
flesh can't endure this new advance of eiviliza
lion, and neck inauranoo would bo difficult if
mankind did nol keep Hose sagacious quadra
pods tied up sll day in the stable. Consequently
Here were but few runaways, and only ode or
two carriages smashed.
We are not prepared to say that Christmas
pyrotechnic* ought to be altogcHer suppressed.
That might breed rank rebellion. But perhaps
Hoy might be regulated to great advantage.
No doubt He three merchants who have been
burnt out and He five or six others who were
yesterday replacing disordered goods will agree
Hat some modification is desirable, and par-
ticnlarly Hat ltomsn candles ongbt not be
popped straight into inagaxlnes of fireworks
exposed on aalo. Those, too, whose cloHes and
skinshavo bocn burnt Hrough wiH this modern
Greek fire, might concede that Ho sport of
shooting fireballs at each other is hardly legiti
mate.
A Vast H*w Hike.— Mr. C. U. Hyde, who
writes from Houston county, does us He honor
to send us eomo versos which bo says be has re
cently written, and for which ho blandly claims
■ plaoo in His paper, over his own signature.
By a singular ooincideneo Hey are entitled:
“My Life is Like a Summer Hose,'' and by a
•till more singular coincidence are identically
He tame, a* to verbiage, wiH Hose which, un
der He same title, have given such fame to Ho
lamented Wilde. Such coincidences are indeed
wonderful, and serve forcibly to remind us how
very frequently genius runs in the same chan
nel—even lo He extent of cmployicg He self
same words to convoy “its thoughts that
breatho.” We would suggest to Mr. Hyde to
avoid, if possible, he reef ter, such ooincidtnees.
They sometimes grow monotonous.
PxuoxiL.—We are glad to see our towns
man, J. B. Host, E*q., at homo, again, after
an absence of more than a month in New York
city, whither be went to here an operation for
cataract performed on one of hia eyes. He has
experienced decided benefit from it, being now
able, by He aid of a pair of cataract glasses,
to read and write wiH ease. When He in
flammation oonaeqoent upon Ho operation
shall have entirely subsided, he ia confident
that hia eye, for most practical purposes, will
be aa serviceable as ever. The operation was
performed by Dr. Agnew, the oolebrated ocu
list, who stands at He head of Hat branoh of
surgery in the United States. Mr. Base will
resume his seat in He Legislature at He ap
proaching January ecasion.
School or Ms. E. 11. Lint.—Without any
disparagement to He several excellent institu
tion* which adorn our city, we can recommend
He private academy of Mr. E. H. Link aa emi
nently w thy of patronage. Mr. link, Hough
very modest and unpretending, tsa ripe scholar,
and Horough and oonaeientioua teacher. Hia

Editor* Telegraph end Messenger; The re
cent rain* have been so heavy your readers
may be interested to know jOBt what the
“gauge" scored: From Saturday at 2 r. n,
when the tall commenced, to Sunday at 8 a. w.,
it amounted to S 60 100 inchesand from Hat
time to eight on Monday morning, 2 34-100
mors had fallen, making a total of 4 94-100
inches. I may remark that it did.not rain after
8 o’clock on Monday evening. The temperature
all His time waa sixty lhree degrees. At 2
o'clock yesterday it rose to seventy-four. Last
year, on December 24H, He mercury, at 8
o'clock a. x., stood at IS degrees; at 2 r. *., at
S3 degree*; at 6 r. x., 81 degrees. On the I'.'ith.
at eight a. x., 14 degree*; at 2 r. x , at 32 de

Oar readers knew Bowen's resolution to is
peach Scott failed. It was voted down by eyes
G2 nay* .32, an a motion to strike out He re-
aolving clause. It was He intention of He im
peaches* to adjourn the final question till after
He holiday*—probably wiH a view to raiee
funds to fight Boott with own weapon*. But
Hoott was too smart for Horn. He held over
their heeds a message oonvening Ho Legisla
ture ia special aeaeion on He 23d, and brought
Hem to a vote with the result noticed, in
spite or He remonstrance* of Bowen. The
oompliments which pained between parties da
ring Ha discussion were many and striking.
One of Scott's fugle men, named Byes, waa
charged wiH having a bribe Hen and Here in
bis pocket in He shape of a check for $12,203.
and oould do nothing but swear and swagger in
self-defiance. An anti-Scott man named Harley
charged He whole opposition wiH having sold
out “for leu money apiece than Jadat got,’’
and stated Hat be himself (Harley) bad Hen a
letter in hi* pockect urging him to vote against
impeachment and “name his price,” Bowen
■aid he challenged He thieves end robbers on
the other side to make np A case and submit it
to He Supremo Court. In short,the facts were
in come way or oHer, Scott bad been able
to make a raise, and He Slate Treasury (poor
aa it might be) wrfe too mash for Ho impeach-
ert. Scott could “come down" more liberally
than Bowen, and that, too, not at his own ex
pence, but at He ooet of He white tax payer*
of South Carotin*. As a clear result of His
eond'llou of affair*, impeachment was defeated.
It is difficult to see how it will be possible in
any cose to extricate Hi* unhappy State. Scott
bribes He dirty black and white thieves wiH
money wrung from taxation or Ho sacrifice of
ao-called State liabilities, to bold him harmless
in public robbery, and He more he steals He
better be can pay his backers. Nor, on He other
hand, is it probable Hat if Bowen and bis gang
should oust Hoott, Hat Hey would steal Ices.
The case seems to bo hopeless, and to add to He
trouble a knot of “financial rascals" in New
York conspire for purpose* of Heir own to give
these bogus bonds some trifling value in that mar
ket ao as to encourage the villains to Isaac them
and pocket a quarter on every dollar of so-called
State liabilities. It Is a shame to Christendom
that reputable brokers in New York do not
tnrow theso fraudulent securities oat of market,
but seem to rely on He frail hope that He Fed
eral government trill, in some way or other, bo
able to extart Heir face out of He defenceless
people.

Tux Lanas' Serna To-xonaow Nianr.—We
remind our reader*, again, that He ladies of
the Mulberry Street Methodist Church will give
a supper to-morrow night At Ayers’ Hall, the
proceeds of which wilt go to aid the free school
lately established by Hat dumb. We know
t>o object more worthy of anriatance. and we
do not doubt that the proceeds will show that
many other* entirely agree with na. If money
fctearce—end it at scares—provfcdooi will do as
well. So don’t stand on He quality of contri-
bstiou but contribute something, and aa gener
ously aa may be.
A Ba*m Vtotua*.—The Son says Trumbull
has achieved an unpresadeutad victory in foro-
InCthe Grant Sanaton, who at first received
hia proposition wiH a general bowl of denun
ciation, to substantially admit and go through
wiH He form of overhauling He official dung

Fertilizer Dealers’ Protective
Association of Georgia.
This is the name of an organization lately
formed in Savannah, by Ho several manufac
tures and importers of fertilizers, for Heir own
protection. Experience has shown Hat such a
combination was an actual necessity.
Homesteads, exemption Uws, and a de
moralized pnblio sentiment in some section*,
have played sad havoc wiH He dealers in com
mercial manures.
While there are exceptional instances of
adulterated and worthless compounds to be
found, yet Ho majority of the preparations
thrown upon the market since He war are
genuine, and Heir good resnlls can be proven
by a vast array of evidence.
In He purchase of gaano, strict regard ahonid
be had to He character and constitnent ele
ments of the soil. What will benefit stiff clay
land experience lias shown to bo almost useless
for sandy formations. Agaio, some compounds
are more soluble than others, and Heir effects
in consequence are more immediate, Hough
the general result may not differ materially.
Much depends also upon proper cultivation. In
most of Ho cases where failures aro reported.
He young plant was allowed to become foal
with grass, and the virtue of the fertilizer was,
of course, absorbed by He weeds and other
foreign growH upon the soil. Who is to blame
for His?
Bnt it is not our purpose to discuss the rela
tive virtues of He several preparations which
aro offered to the pnblio. We fall back upon
the general principle, that where any article is
sold without warrant or guaranty, and a bona
fide obligation ia given to pay for He same. He
buyer ia bonnd by hia contract. Unless this be
oonceded, very few of He transactions of mer
cantile life would hold good, as almost all are
subject to drawback* more or less. Though a
man swear to his part let him adhere to bis
plighted ward. And He planter who discharges
Hess obligations promptly will retain his own
self-respect, preserve his credit, and leave an
nntarnished reputation to posterity.
The task may bo difficult, or even impossible
at present. If so, pay what you can, renew
your 1 obligations, and few, very few, will refuse
all He indulgence you may require. Our word
for it, His is the only safe and honorable oourse
left to you.

Attorney General Farrow, who formerly ren
dered He law for Bnllook, and was one of He
pillars of oar villainous State government, now
not only goes back upon hia carpet-bag patron
wiH a double vengeance, but threatens wiH ex
posure and rain He “corrupt Democrats” who
coalesced" wiH Ms fugitive Excellency, in his
gigintio robbery of our people.
This Mgh functionary promises Hst in He
Bepnblioan campaign of 1872 He truth shall
oomo out, and He names and peculiarities of
these delectable gentry be given to He people.
We are to have Tammany reproduced in Geor.
gia on a small scale, to the edification of all
honest men.
It is reported that some of Heee lawyers and
lobbyists, who have been blowing hot and oold,
and operating on boH aides to such good pnr-
poae’that in two years they have amassed for
tunes and drive, sleek hones, at a period, too,
when honest people oould barely keep soul and
bod; together, will oome to grief.
Who will pity Hem ? Pat your houses in or
der, gentlemen. That is, sell your handsome
turnouts, railroad bonds, (if any one is fool
enough to buy them,) dairy gardens, fine resi
dences in He capital, mining stock, and all
your ill gotten plunder, and tamotc He ranch
like your great prototype. The wrath of an in-
ooused people will cause you to call upon the
rocks and bills to Mdo your infamy. Let there
be a lustration.

An old negro named George Haris walked
fifteen miles to Perry, on election day, to vote
for Smith for Governor.
They keep at it pretty steadily. On Sunday
night Howard Harrison shot and killed Henry

This is Ho way Ho Grant party is kept to
gether down in Houston county, according to
He Home Journal:
The election passed off very quietly in Hous
ton. Very few negroes voted. They had had
instructions not to do so. Our representative,
Ormond, got a congregation of them in the
Baptist church at New Hope, Monday night,
and told them not'to vote for Smith—that He
Democrats bad a majority in the Legislature
and were playing havoc wiH Ho rights of the
negroes. He showed Hem a copy of a bill (in
writing) which be said had pa weed He Legisla
ture, to He effect that negroes should not be
allowed to fish in any stream in He State. For
fear of being detected in this, be was careful to
state that it didn’t apply to Houston county.
Of oourse the negroes believed Mm aud resolved
not to vote to pot into power one of the men
who wouldn't allow Hem to fish.
Mr. Robert Holmes died of oongestive chill,

further of He railway oonference noted in Hia
column on Sunday:
The Kailwat Conference.—The Directors of
He Georgia, and He rapresentatircs of He Cen
tral Railroad, remainod in council all day yes
terday. It has transpired that the Southern
Railway Association, which is Ho Pennsylvania
Central in disguise, has been trying to get con
trol of He Atlanta and West Point, He West
Poipt and Montgomery, and tho Montgomery
and Selma Railroads. Tho Atlanta and West
Point is entirely under He control of tho Geor.
gia, and He Southern Railroad Association pro
posed a lease of this road to He Georgia. The
Georgia Central is working to prevent any ar
rangement of His kind from being effected, and
these two roads are trying to settle the terms of
sn agreement which will break up He littie game
of the giant Northern corporation. At He date
of this writing, negotiations are still pending,
but it is oonfidc-ntly stated that before the meet
ing adjourns Ho matter will bo arranged satis

We clip these items from He Atlanta Era of
Sunday:
Atlanta Improvement.—The edifice on the
comer of Pryor and Decatur streets, which,
when finished, will be one of He finest south
of He Potomac, is the property of Judge
Lochrane. This gentleman is also building two
stores of He same kind, opposite He main en
trance of the hotel, and He oHer day exchanged
some property in Haoon for He interest of Mr.
Willingham in He Willingham building.
Frozen to Death.—A colored man, who could
not be identified, was found Friday morning,
in He neighborhood of nail’s tobacco factoiy,
frozen to death. He had been seen very much
intoxicated during the preceding night. Be
tween whisky and He intense oold, He poor fel
low met his miserable death.
We qnote tho following from Ho Atlanta Sun,
same date:
Dr. Bard has been forced into bankruptcy.
This has revealed his creditors. The first man
on the list is Wm. M. Tweed, $3,000; and He
next Peter B. Sweeney, $3,000.
The list is an interesting study. The amount
of He whole is over $47,000. Among Hem we
find He names of Mrs. Foster Blodgett, $1,000;
Gen. Austell, $2,500; Hoyt & Jones, $1,700;
Joseph E. Brown, $0,838, Joebua Hill, $1,033
33: A. G. Foster, $1,333 33; T. P. Saffold,
$1,333 33; N. L. Angier, $1,000; James Con
nor's Sons, $3,075; C. & G. Place, $0,000; R.
E. Glover, $4,500.
Road Steamers—Tbe Legislature, at its late
session, granted s charter to He Georgia Steam
Road Wagon Company. We are told Hat a
number of reliable men in Middle and SouHern
Georgia have taken stock in He company to He
amount of $50,000. Hon. H. L. W. Craig, of
He House, is an active member of His com-
pany. He organization of wMch will be per
fected during He approaching adjourned session
of He Legislature. Col G. W. Lee, who first
suggested He formation of He company, is in
communication with D. D. Williams & Co.,
Broadway, New York, for He purpose of bring
ing one of Heee steam wagons to Atlanta and
putting it to mailing.
United States Court.—A very important
ease is now before Judge Erakine—that of He
daughters of James Loyd vs. M. C. Fulton. In
1861 Mr. Fnlton bought of Mr. Loyd the old
Washington Hall lot, in this city, taking a deed
and giving Ms note for part of He purchase
money. That note is still unpaid. Suit baa been
brought upon it, and judgment obtained in He
United States Court, and property at several
S inta levied upon and advertised for sale. At
vannah, Judge Erakine granted a restraining
order for Fulton'e relief till be could be bean
upon a motion to exempt hia property from levy
and sale, upon He ground that it was inherited
by hia wife, and is, in fact, her sole property.
When Mr. Fulton purchased He Washington
Hall lot, tbe “vendor’s lien’’ was in force, so
Hst the nets given was, and still is, a lien upon
Hat lot for its payment—He amount of which ia
now something near $20,000. Mr. Wm. Mark
ham is at present the owner of the lot, which he
did not sell with hia other property, because of
tnis inenmbranoa.
The Columbus Enquirer, of Sunday, says:
Customers Scarce.—The practice of treat
ing to draw customers his long been common.
Vie hear of ooe firm who expects soon to oom-
menee boarding and clothing Heir customers
in order to attract business.
Important Agreement Among Doctors.—It
ia reported that some of He M. Ds. of this city
have entered into an agreement similar to Hat
talked of among merchants some months ego,
to-wit: Hat Hey will refuse their professional
services in eases where parties attempt to pay
np old bills by calling in a new doctor. This
prectiee has become so common that He doc
tors find it difficult to live by Heir collections.
This is He way Hey describe a snow storm

Peter Turner, of Rome, who was shot and
badly wounded by a policeman of that place one

Shocxino—About two weeks ago a little
daughter of Mrs. John Floyd, a widow lady
living in Miller oonnty, waa instantly killed by
having her bead canght and crushed between
tho lever and oapxiil of a cane mill. The child
was about eleven yean old, and was engaged in
feeding He mill when tbe accident happened.
Outrage.—On Sunday night last, or just be
fore daylight on Monday morning, some mis
creant discharged a shot gun Hrough a window
of the house of Judge Jas. B. Ransone, of His
county. No damage was done, more than
(battering He glass by 28 buck-hot, which
lodged in the ceiling beyond. It ia surmised

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such os Couchs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never liefore in tho whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
him in the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through s long
series of years, ami among most of the races or
men it luw rteeu higher and higher in their estima
tion, aa it lum become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure Uie various affections
of tho lungs and throat, have inode it known as a re
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of (limeade and to young children, it is
at Uic some time tl»c most effectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and tho dan
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a pro
vision against sudilen attacks of Croup, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed os all
are hometiuies subject to colus and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption U thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where tho dis
ease seemed settled, havo been completely cured,
anti the patient restored to sound health by tho
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is ita mastery
over*Uic disorders of tho bungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When noth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pec
toral they subside and disappear.
Singers a ml Publio Speakers find great pro
tection from it.
Asthma ia always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cored by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are ita virtues known that we need
not publish tho certificates of them here, or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained*
Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague. Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c.,
and indeed all the affections which ariso
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatio
poisons.
As its nnmc implies, it does Care, and does not
fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth,
Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous substance
whatever, it in nowise injures any patient. The
number and importance of its cures in the ague dis
tricts, are literally beyond account, and wc believe
without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine.
Our pride is gratified by tbc acknowledgments we
receive of the radical cures effected In obstinate
cases, anil where other remedies had wholly failed.
Un.necltinatcd persons, cither resident in, or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be pro
tected by taking tho AGUE CURE daily.
For TArcr Complaints, arising from torpidity
of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity.
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it is
an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
markable cures, where other medicines bad failed.

out s license eo to do, and feeling that I was inno
cent of the charge I declined according to any propo
sition! to settle the tame, preferring to allow a jury

innocence. Although I bed in mypoeseeuon a let
ter from a revenue officer of the United States,
wherein be expressed the belief that I bad not in
tentionally violated the laws of my country, I was
adjudged guilty of the charge. Still conscious of
my innoccnoe, I appealed to the President of the
United 8totee to relieve me tram the penalties im
posed upon me by tbe Court. Sustained in this
appeal by the District Attorney and my fellow dti-
xens of Macon who have known me for years, his
Excellency, the President, granted me a foil par
don and restored me again to all my rights and lib
