Instead of resisting they simply flop right
down upon themselves. They say it is bet

break their necks. In ancient Greece this
would have been called philosophical hero

In reply to an inquiry about the debt and
resources of Macon one of its merchants in
a letter sums up the case in this wise : “Our
city corporation is in a bettor condilion than
any in Georgia, and her bonds look cheap.
She owes less than 4700,000. The property
valuation is $8,400,000. The regular rate of
taxation is one per cent. This year the Leg
islature granted us the right to lovy an ex
tra tax of one-quarter of one per cent, to
pay somo maturing obligations. She prob
ably has public property enough to pay her
wholo ilobt. Hlio can’t issue another bond
unless authorized by the Legislature and
ratified by a two-thirds vote of tier free
holders.’’ This is cortaiuly a favorable show
ing for our sister city, and only lacks some
siuking fund feature by which the debt can
he steadily diminished.
The Quituian Reporter says that on
Monday night of last week tho torch
of tho incendiary wag applied to the
cotton house of Mr. Timothy Alderman,
completely destroying that building and
the coru crib, fodder and outhouse,
stock shed and wagon shelter, which were
all arranged in a row together. The cotton
house contained about seven halos and a
half of seed cotton, tho corn crib 400 bushels
ot coru, and the foddor and outhouse was
well tilled with these two very important
commodities. Tho dailies spro id rapidly,
and when discovered the buildings were
all ablaze, so that the heat was so intouse
it was with difficulty that any one could got
near enough to open a place in the lot for
the stook to oscape. Nothing that was in
tho way of tho buildings wus saved, though
about a bale and a half of cotton was found
to be uninjured in the smouldering heap
whore the cotton house stood. Mr. Aider
man is a disabled soldier, having lost a leg
in the late war, and this is to him a heavy
and serious loss. The fiendish villain who
applied the torch was tracked some distance
from the premises ; but, as yet, no clue lias
been found that Is likely to lead to his appre
hension.
Marietta Journal: Mr. It. S. Eidson, who
lives near Big Shanty, Cobb county, is a
man of remarkable energy and industry,
considering the fact that he lost his right
arm in the late war, and has only his left
hand to work with. In the cultivation of his
farm this year he made, off ot five acres of
ground, one hundred and thirty bushels of
coru and fifty-three bushels of wheat, be
sides a largo quantity of potatoes, turnips,
peas, etc. Two of the acres produced
seventy-live bushels of corn. This is not
onlv creditable to the soil of Cobb, but also
fcto ilr. Eidson, and shows that there is as
[jiuuch in the man as in the land. There is
Pro tolling how much ho would make if lie
Phad two liauds to work with.
' Albany Xeirs : Colonel Loe Jordan may
be the largest planter in the State, and it
may be that his own crop is down to sixty
. per cent,, but we utterly deny the truth of
a statement going the rounds of the press,
npou his authority, that the corn crop ot
Southwestern Georgia is only fifty and tho
cotton crop only sixty. The Colonel may
bull the market on his own crop, but he lias
no particular right to undervalue a whole
section. The truth is, coru lias turned out
much better than was expected, and cotton
is still maturing and opening so fast that
neither Colonel Jordan uor any other “larg
est planter in the State” is entitled to
credence for half crop statements.
Mr. C. A. Nutting writes the Atlanta Her
ald: In your issue of yesterday you give
reports of the City Bauk, aud rumors con
cerning ray private affairs. Commencing at
the start of the flurry, an old business
house, with whom the writer" has been on
intimate terms for years, allowed some
of their paper to go to protest, and
the report was put in circulation that
the City Bauk was carrying an im
mense amount of his paper. The truth
of the affair is that his name was not
on a single paper in the bauk. Further,
the State has no funds on deposit in the
City Bank, aud has not had for the last six
months. I opine the State has no funds on
deposit anywhere. I can assure you they
would be quite as safe here as elsewhere.
No demand has ever been made on this
bank and been dishonored. As to myself,
as heretofore, I am able and prepared to
paddle my own canoe.
Writing of the tournament at the Thom
agville Fair, Col. C. W. Styles, of the Alba
ny Xeu, save! Mr. H. W. Brauch, of Ca
nnlla, lost his first tilt by a decision of the
judges that he failed to make the time by
half a second. He took the six rings amid
the applause of the immense assemblage,
tor his gallant bearing, his splendid horse
manship, and his success in getting all the
rings there were to take. The ruling of the
judges was severely oriticised, and the uni
versal svmpathy gathered around Mr.
Branch. 'Like a true gentleman he made no
complaint, but procured another horse, and
on each of the remaining tilts, carried home
the six rings, each time eliciting shouts of
applause and unmistakable evidences of the
svmpathv of the people who could not ap
preciate the half second ruling. Mr. Branch
submitted several propositions to his brother
Knights, but all were rejected, as it was
well known that he could take all the nnge,
on any sort of a charger, and within any
possible time. His last proposition was to
ride with the butt of his lance, and fading to
get all the rings, to pay an extra entrance
fee of twenty-five dollars. Even that was
rejected. Jt is a pity the gallant Sir Knights
could not appreciate the situation, and
waive the advantage of the half second
ruling. Mr. Branch bears the champion
lance of Georgia and Florida, and u likely
to keep it until some other test is invoked.
It is blasphemy in Atlanta to say “God
bless you”— and it ought to be.
The Perry Home Journal oomes to ns this
week in eight-page form, containing a very
interesting history of the town and county,
and quite a number of new advertisements.
The issue is a credit to Mr. Martin, the
editor and proprietor.
From ail we can hear, the Atlanta Herald
is trying to shed Kimballism. This is a
good idea.
The only sensation that Atlanta now longs
for is the return of Foster Blodget. If Fos

A passenger train on the Central Railroad

The ten-doliar biography of Mr. John H. :
James is gradually finding its way into our I

It is a subject of remart that Colonel
Jones, of the Macon Telegraph, did ample
justice to the Grange dinner at Thomasvilie. j
After it was all over he invested seven dol- j
lars and a half in tooth-picks—a piece of ex- i
travagauce that seems to us to have been al- j
together unwarranted.
Kimbail isn’t as affluent as we thought, j
It is now said that he only owns half of the I
Kimball House—on a credit. This is en- j
tirely too bad. However, he is a director in j
the Tennessee Car Company.
We don’t hear anything from Bishop Ha
vens lately. He wi 1 probably use more cir
cumspection hereafter when he flirts with

A littio negro child was burned to death
in Macon county the other day.
Mr. J. K. Forbes, a young planter of
Troup comity, was killed in Columbus the

It is said that Forbos cursed Cadman’s
mother.
The Wayne Triumph is dead. *
Thus the Thomasvilie Times: “Some
objections were made to Judge Tompkins
serving on the ‘ baby ’ committee, on the
gr /und that lie was not an expert. He, how
ever, showed his go <d taste by kissing all
the girl babies, and leaving the boys to be
fondled by the editor of the News.”
Also, likewise, as follows : “In the pub
lished reports ot the Fair, in the Mousing
News of the 2d, it is erroneously statod that
the Boston Grange bad on exhibition
seventy-eight dead of stock, and the Ock
lockoneo Grange ninety-one. This should
be reversed. The Boston Grange led their
Ocklockonee brethren in the number of
stock exhibited.”
J. E. Gullatt, of Atlanta, has invented a
car-brass that will absorb oil. It is con
sidered good.
The corn-crib of Mr. P. H. Dawson, of
Putnam county, was burned by an incendi
ary one night last week.
Rev. H. P. Oliver ban been recalled to
the pastorate of the Baptist Church at
Eatonton.
A Schley county hen set on fifteen eggs
and hatched seventeen chickens, besides
leaving four eggs in the nest.
Five negro men of Wilkinson county killed
one hundred squirrels in one day recently.
The Thomasville Times has this : The
Morning News has lor years been the “pet”
journal of this section, and never was its
popularity more conspicuous or more fixed
than at this time. The telegraphic and
nows columns of the paper have fairly teem
ed for the past teu days with glowing and
graphic accounts of the late Fair. The en
terprising proprietor sent one of his trusted
stall' here, who, day after day, patiently
went through the labyrinths of the expo
sition, and wo may safely say that Maj. Her
bert wrote up the most elaborate and faithful
acoount of the Fair, which has yet, or will,
appear in print. Col. Thompson, the vete
ran (excuse us, Colonel, for using the
phrase) senior editor, spent the week here;
whilst Harris, that incorrigible wag, most
brilliant and pungent of paragraphists,
never failed to say a good word for us; and
always said it at the right time, in the right
place, and in the right way. The Morning
News has taken a now lease on the affec
tions and gratitude of our people, and we
hope it will last for ninety-nine years—and
then not run out.
Columbus Enquirer: A farmer from Gor
don county carried a load of apples to Car
tersville to sell. Ho was offered sixty cents
a bushel for them and could get no more.
Leaving his team, he repaired to the tele
graph office aud telegraphed to a merchant
in Home, asking the price of apples. The
reply was “$l 25 per bushel.” The farmer
returned, and, showing the merchant the
telegram, said ho would “drive on to
Home.” The merchant relented and paid
him $1 25 per bushol, taking all he had.
Now, that farmer had not mortgaged his
crop of apples to a money-lender or ware
house man, or ho would have been forced to
take the sixty cents per bushel. Farmers,
“that’s what’s the matter with Hannah.”
The Thomas county grand jury remarks :
“Our attention has been called to a small
pamphlet, published by the State School
Commissioner, giving tbo detailed provisions
of a bill he intends to lay before the next
Legislature, for the purpose of enabling the
counties to vote for and levy an additional
school fund tax, not exceeding one tenth of
one per cent., when two-thirds of the voters
vote in favor of it, for tbo purpose of estab
lishing primary schools, in all the counties,
and higher grade schools in any sub
district in the county, when two-thirds
of the voters in' the subdistrict
have voted for it. While we are in favor §of
giving tho best education to every child in
our county, and are willing to be taxed for
educational purposes, we are unalterably
opposed to any law that will breed discon
tent among our people, and probably form
tho entering wedge to briug about mixed
schools of whites and blacks, as we honestly
believe tho bill will do. Wo, therefore, uu-
qualitiodly condemn this bill as calculated to
breed dissension aud conflict among tho
races ; and we ask the representatives of
our county to vote against it when it comes
before tho Legislature for passage.”
Thouiasville Times : Now that the sixth
annual Fair is ovor, let us all go to work
preparing for the next one. Nothing like
starting in time. The late Fair lias demon
strated what our people can do when they
will. Let us right now, in the glare and
brilliancy of the late exhibition, determine,
that it shall be excelled in ’76. We call upon
the people of South Georgia and Florida to
unite with us next year, in order to show
middle aud upper Georgia, what
this section is capable of producing. It is a
noble and laudable work, and we appeal,
and confidently too, to our people regard
less of Stato and county lines, to make up
their m uds note, and determine that this
section of the South shall no longer remain
in obscurity. One pull, a strong pull, and a
pull altogether will place this whole region
where it unquestionably belongs, among
the most favored, fruitful, and desirable
sections in this bright, sunny land of ours.
To the roscuo then in ’76.
Thomas county grand jury : We are sorry
to roport that there is much crime com
mitted in our county. The jail is tilled
with criminals awaiting trial, nearly all
of which is traceable to the midnight dens
scat tered over the county, and kept by bold,
daring, unser.iputous persons, who defy
public opinion aud the laws. They entice
tho ignorant colored people into their
stores, and induce thein to steal poultry,
corn, rice, oats, potatoes, cotton, farming
tools aud everything that can be converted
into money. ' They respect no color
or condition, and Arab-like, they plun
der and rob alike the whites aud
blacks. They have become so bold as to
employ and send out drummers for this
illicit traffic, and have guards around their
stores and pickets placed out at consider
able distance around to prevent surprise aud
detection, and have managed to demoralize
the colored population to such an extent
that it is almost impossible to get them to
iuform or give evidence against them in the
courts of the county. We are glad to see
tho Granges taking steps to put down this
evil, aud they have succeeded in closing up
some of these stores. We wish them God
and trust they will not cease
their efforts until they succeed in break
ing up this nefarious traffic. We call upon
all good citizens, white and black, to be
vigilant in assisting to bring these violators
of the law to condign punishment, so that
our whole community can lay down and
sleep peacefully, with tha assurance that
his property in the field and all around him
is safe. We ask our representatives to use
their talent and influence in the next session
of the Legislature, and devise and pass
some law that will give better protection to
the planters, aud make the arrest and con
viction of this class of thieves less trouble
some in the courts of the county.
Macon Telegraph : Oue of the most re
markable deaths that ever came under ob
servation took place in this city yesterday
evening, about seven o’clock. The circum
stances are as follows ; Mr. Wm. A. Hutch
iugs, of Jones county, went into a restaurant
and ordered a supper. He was in good
health and in an unusually good humor.
The supper was soon set before him, and he
had not taken more than a mouthful before
it was discovered that something was the
matter with him. Gentlemen present
went to his assistance, and found that he
seemed to be choking. A messenger was
dispatched at once, in haste, for Dr. Mat
taur. The doctor was in his office and in a
very few minutes was with the sufferer. He
perceived at once that the man was suffer
ing from suffocation caused by food having
passed into his windpipe. ‘ Instruments
were needed to procure relief, and
the doctor, as speedily as possible, went
to his office for them, and when he re
turned the unfortunate mau was dead.
The agony of the poor fellow is represented
as having been terrible. In his final throes
he leaped entirely from the bed, where he
had been placed, to the floor, and expired
there. If the doctor could have returned a
minute sooner ho could have saved the
life of the man without difficulty. He
was powerless to do anything with
out his instruments, and before these
could be procured the end had come.
The deceased was about fifty yean of
age, an old citizen of Jones county, and un
married. He has often been in the city,
and was well known to many of our peo
ple. Coroner Sessions was notified of the
occurrence, and soon appeared upon the
scene and held an inquest. After hearing
all the testimony there was in the case, in
cluding that of Dr. Mattanr, the jury re
turned a verdict that the deceased came to
his death by suffocation caused by food
haring passed into his windpipe.
The State University at Athens seems to
be a nice place. According to the Georgian, j
the stndents are required to swear that they
don’t pay more than S2O a month each for
board. We wonder that this regulation
was never thought of before, for it stands
to reason—when you come to reflect over it
—that a young man who is extravagant
enough to pay s2l 75 for board per month
is on the demnition road to ruin
and ought to be expelled. In our opinion,
it would be a good idea if the faculty were
to prescribe the diet of the students—with
au especial eye to eliminating buckwheat
cakes and molasses from the bill of fare.
This sort of extravagance is rapidly under
mining the constitutions of our young men.
A negro in the Macon jail, contemplating
suicide rather than the penitentiary, took

An Atlanta Justice of the Peace has mys

It is understood chat all the poetry that
has passed between “Lively Puss” and
’• Paul Pry” since the Macon Fair, related to
CoL George R. Black, of Screven county.
Well, this much we can say—Col. Black is
no flirt, if he is a married man.
Columbus is to have a bagging factory,
and now there will be no excuse for the

Thus the Camilla Enterprise: “A two
hundred and forty dollar diamond engage
ment ring is stored at the warehouse. It is
offered for sale from the simple fact that
the lady for whom it was intended has long
since pinned a bigger fool’s nose to the

A colored infant was cremated in Houston
county the other day. The facts are as
usual.
Here is the twentieth : The gin-house on
one of the plantations of Messrs. Butler and
Heath, together with three bales of cotton,
was burned in Houston county the other
day.
Grubb, of the Darien Timber Gazette, has
wound himself around a six-pound potato,
and still has breath left to brag about it.
A little son of Mr. J. L. Merrill, of Carroll
county, was fatally burned one day last
week.
A Dooly county ox was killed the other
day, and weighed eight hundred pounds
net. What’s the use of poking fun at Dooly
when she can accomplish such feats as this?
It is fair to say, however, that no accurate
measurement was made of the inherent
toughness of the animal.
Hawkinsville had a stabbing affray the
other day.
Mr. Thomas Gordon, an old and esteemed
citizen of Dooly county, is dead.
Plague take such a country as this is. In
Dodge county a man was fined fitty dollars
merely for whipping his mother-in-law. It
may truly be said that Americans have no
rights that the law is hound to respect.
Several copper deposits have been found
recently in Paulding county. Nothing
is said, however, of the brass mines in At
lanta.
Here is the twenty-first: The gin-house of
Mr. B. F. Lanier, Sr., of Bulloch county,
was burned by an incendiary recently, to
gether with six bales of cotton.
A correspondent, writing from Porter’s
Landing, Effingham county, says that the
school house at Mizpah Church was burned
down on the Ist inst. On Wednesday even
ing last, Mr. E. B. Porter lost three houses
by fire, one of them his corn-crib, with all
his corn and fodder. On the 7th his kitchen
was burned.
The Atlanta Uommomcealth remarks: Last
week the “groat developer” had his measure
taken before Judge Woods, of the United
States Circuit Court, sitting in Atlanta. It
was in the case of Clews & Cos. against the
Cherokee Railroad Company. Kimball had
been contractor and President of the com
pany, aud finally turr-'i up as chief witness
for the company against Clews & Cos. Mr.
L. N. Whittle, to whom the case had been
referred as master in chancery, reported
that the railroad company was indebted
to Clews & Cos. for moneys .advanced
to build the road, in the sum of
$1G7,000. This report Judge Woods sus
tains in an able aud elaborate opinion, which
is published at length in a morning contem
porary. In the course of his judgment, this
Radical Judge presents a striking photo
graph of this prince of carpet-baggers. He
says Kimball’s evidence is incredible, and
shows with a master hand that his state
ments, though made under oath, were con
scious falsehoods. Such, let the reader re
member, is the sentence of a Radical United
States Judge. Aud yet there are Democrats
and Democratic journals, so-called, who are
ever ready with an apology for the brazen
impostor. Bogue and perjurer 1 Twice a
bankrupt since the war, and yet the builder
and owner of palatial residences, the
adroit manipulator of impecunious
Southern newspapers, and the
President of an Atlanta Manufacturing
Company 1 We do not wonder that the very
ground on which the city stands was shaken
by an earthquake last night. Even the sur
rounding hills, dyed in the blood of brave
men and scorched by fire and battle, shake
their angry heads in protest against this
shame. The city and State now stagger
under the load of debt which this man piled
on their suffering people, and yet the bank
rupt, the thief and the perjurer is preferred
to positions of honor and profit, and daily
dashes along our streets, cagting the dust
from his flying wheels on the Mayor of At
lanta aud the Governor of Georgia—men the
latchet of whose shoes he is unfit to loosen.
Brass and mammon ! Mammon and brass ! 1
Atlanta correspondence Griffin News :
“Quite an important event has happened in
newspaper circles during the past week.
The parties interested seem disposed to keep
the matter very quiet, but by dint of enquiry,
I have got at what I consider a fair state
ment. When Col. Alston returned from the
Macon Fair, Mr. J. A. Burns, the business
manager of the Herald Publistiing Com
pany, proposed to Col. Alston that he should
give him a mortgage for moneys which burns
alleged were due to him for loans. "Colonel
Alstou denied owing Burns any money,
stating that all the money which Burns had
paid in was only part of his subscription to
stock, aud that such a mortgage would be a
fraud upon the stockholders and cred
itors. Burns replied that unless Colonel
Alston signed said mortgage that the last
number of the Herald had come out. As
Burns was elected to serve for five years
there was but oue way to get him out, aud
that was by an order "from Judge Hopkins
restraining him from the further exercise
of his duties. Judge Hopkins issued the
order and had Colonel B. A. Alston ap->
pointed receiver, and the Herald i continued
to make its appearance as usual. Burns has
resigned and Colonel Alston is now in
charge, and he an 1 Grady will continue to
make the Herald what it has always been,
one of the best papers published" in the
South. Alston aud Burns were incompati
ble elements, and I am not surprised that
an explosion has occurred so soon. The only
wonder is that an attempt was ever made to
unite them.

FLORIDA.
Cost of Living, Labor, Provisions, Etc.
[From the Florida Agricultnrist.]
Rosewood, Levy Cos., Fla. —In my last
I gave a description of the different quali
ties of Florida land and an approximate
estimate of its value, and I now propose
to give the cost of labor, material, sup
plies, etc. —articles that will be required
by those coming to the State to settle I
will premise that the prices given are
those current at Rosewood and other
places in this region, as the same mate
rials might and probably would cost more
in other parts of the State.
COLOEED LABOE
is our main dependence, for which we
pay say sl6 to S2O per month for men,
they supplying their own provisions, and
the employer furnishing a cabin to live
in. Boys and women command from $8
to sl2 per month, depending on the age,
experience, etc. The colored people are
docile in their nature, easily managed,
and are, as a rule, very acceptable
labor when managed and controlled
by the employer. The men will do
as much at any kind of labor with
. which they are familiar as our smartest
Yankees, when working together, but
when set to work by themselves or under
their own management they are about
like half-grown boys ; they can neither
set themselves to work intelligently, Jnor
are they reliable when alone. White
labor —citizens of the neighborhood—can
be obtained at about the same cost, but
as a rule they are unreliable.
PBOVISIONS.
Groceries will cost, at retail, about the
same as at the West, and a little more
than in New England or the Middle
States. Venison sells for about Bto 10
cents per pound : wild turkeys the same,
and wild ducks say 10 to 25 cents each —
all of which are abundant. Beef costs
say 5 to 6 cents per pound foe forequart
ers, and 6 to 7 for hindquarters; fowls
20 to 26 cents each, and eggs from 15 to
25 cents per dozen, and sweet potatoes
about 50 cents per bushel. Board can
be obtained at the villages along this
line of road at $4 to $lO per week —the
former for laboring men who furnish
their own bedding.
LOTBEB.
Sawed lumber will cost, delivered at
the depot, say $lO to sl2 per thousand,
taken as it runs, and sl2 to sls sawed to
fill an order; shingles, say from $3 to $4
per thousand, and a plain, rough house,
for a medium family, but comfortable
for the climate, can be put up for S2OO to
S4OO.
FUBNITCBE AND TOOLS.
Persons moving to this State would do
well to bring such tools and furniture as
they have in use which can be packed in
barrels or boxes, especially small things
on which the freight is a small item.
Mattress and bolster ticks should be
brought and filled with black moss (to be
had here), which is a good substitute for
curled hair. Standing furniture, such as
tables, chairs, and other bulky articles,
may be brought with them or purchased
here at reasonable prices.
HOESES, STCLE3 AND OTHEB STOCK.
Horses or mules, suitable for farming
will cost here from one hundred and
twenty-five to one hundred and fifty dol
lars ; working oxen, fifty to seventy-five
dollars per yoke; cow with a calf, twelve
to twenty dollars, and what are known as
stock cattle, comprising cows, bulla and
the young stock up to three years old,
for about six dollars per head.

Washington, November 4, 1875.
DEPABTHENTAL.
The annual reports of the departments
are all made up ready for Congress and sus
pense now exists in regard to the appropria
tions. Government clerks are on the qui
vice. “Suppose Congress reduces the ap
propriations, then some of us will have to
walk,” they say; “but suppose they don’t
appropriate at all, how can we live two
years without stamps ?” The answer gen
erally is, “dam-fi-no.” The Treasury ap
propriation bill, providing for the propor
tional distribution of clerkships among the
various States,has caused a considerable stir
and awakened anxiety in many a bosom and
buzzum, while Zach has already shipped a
score of youths and virgins.
CHANGE OF PROGBAAtXE.
It is understood that the Senate Commit
tee on civil service and retrenchment will
put their noses together immediately after
the assembling of Congress, to project some
means for reducing the expenses of run
ning the government. The Interior Depart
ment seems to attract their attention the
most, and the Indian Office and Pension
Bureau will have to stand a going over.
Since Delano has stepped out, Betkuap has
started a move to take from old Zack tht se
pet offices, and has laid his wires nicely.
But the ex-wrx Senator from Michigan will
not stand it. The Indian Office he will not
let go to the War Department, as he has
already picked from the shore of Detroit his
old chum Jerome, who will occnpy the seat
now held by Parson Smith. The contractors
can’t fool Jero. He has been there. He
knows exactly how much rum and molasses
it takes to buy a buffalo robe, and his face
is as familiar among the Chippewas and
Menomonies as Hicks among the
wenches.
When we examine the enormous patron
age of both Pension and Indian offices we
do not wonder that the War Department
clique wants to get them transferred to
themselves.
THE PENSION OFFICE
has the disbursement of over twenty-nine
million dollars for pensions [o over two
hundred and thirty-eight thousand pen
sioners, besides the employment of several
hundred clerks, a force of special agents,
fifty-eight disbursing agents, nearly
fourteen hundred examining surgeons
and seventy-six pension notaries. The dis
bursing agents hold very lucrative positions,
some of the agencies being worth as high
as forty thousand dollars per annum. This
is made by having a partner who makes ad
vances to pensioners before their money is
due, taking orders on the agent and charg
ing said pensioner five per cent, per
month for the accommodation. It
takes a strong pressure on the Secre
tary of the Interior and the admin
istration to get one of these places, they
can be used to such great political advan
tage. There are very few pension agents
in the Southern States, on account of the
few invalids or widows of the Federal Army
of the late war who reside there. Florida,
Georgia, Alabama, South Uaroliua and
Texas have no agency located within their
borders. Quite a stir was created by an at
tempt being made to deprive the poor old
pensioners of the Revolutionary war, and
war of 1812, who lived in the Soutnern States,
of their pensions. They were required to
prove their loyally during the late war, &c.
There are now on the rolls 402 revolutionary
pensioners, and 23,133 war of 1812 pension
ers.
THE INDIAN BUREAU
I have described before, with its 275,000
wards and hundreds of employes. Tue
jobs that can be made from the sale of the
“ i'rust Lands,” of which the office holds
nearly ten million acres are good, and then
the contracts are very gratifying. The
patronage of the office is enormous, and too
good a thing to be turned over to military
niucompoops. Twelve or thirteen millions
of funds are not to be trusted to paymasters
who might fly the track, no indeed, So you
see that the Pension and Indian offices will
not be let go as easily as the Senate Com
mittee may wish. But they have a good
work before them on
CIVIL SERVICE.
They can worry the superannuated chier
of the useless Bureau of Education, Gen.
Dorman B. Eaton. This worthy was chair
man of the Civil Service Commission, and
lent his aid to keeping up that humbug.
Dawson A. Walker, of Georgia, also ap
pears in the list, but hag now turned his
gigantic intellect into another channel. The
civil service is played out, and the long
est political pole orings down the clerical
persimm n now. The rush on the depart
ments foi office has got to be fearful, and
bushels of recommendations are daily filed.
The wild-eyed Rockafellar, of Georgia, has
as yet failed, although he presented his
photograph and the story of his persecu
tion to the Hon. Zach. He is strongly en
dorsed by Foster Blodgett and Sam Bard,
and if he don’t get a place on the strength
of those papers he will have to curse tho
ingratitude of Republics aud consign his
noble form to the Potomac.
THE PRESS GANG.
It makes the bosom of the country editor
swell to be taken among the galaxy of
newspaper lights who grace the corres
pondent’s galleries of the capitol. There,
for instance, he will find the Rev. C. W.
Denison, editor of the National Harbinger,
a patron of temperance, whoso devotion to
tho Jonadabs lost him a good chance. He
told, on the stump in his native Michigan,
that Grant was addicted to tho bowl. That
the said Grant had invited him, Denison, to
libate with him, and that he thereupon
lectured the administration on his reckless
course. This incensed him, and he,
the Rev. C. W. Denison, a faithful agent
of the Freedman’s Bureau and apostle
of temperance, received the cold
shoulder instead of the Indian
agency for which he applied. His Rever
ence has been trying to ally himself with
the Democracy, but finds that he is received
with distrust. He is, therefore, running
the Harbinger for the cause of advanced
freedom. “Free thought, free schools and free
lunch” is his motto. Then we have old Fred
Douglas and his three sons, all editors of
the New Era , a journal published in the in
terests of the Douglas’s and the African
race, especially the former. This Douglas
crowd of galvanized Africans are owned by
Boss Shephei d,and have held lucrative places
under the ring. They elected Emory Mayor
in the good old days of 1868, when a thous
and niggers were under pay digging grass
from the gutters with case knives. Next we
have another odoriferous youth, Judge J. P.
Sampson (strong as his name imparts),
who conducts tne Colored Citizen, and
figures as a Justice of the Peace. Then
comes a lorn youth who slings ink in the
Navy Department, named Taylor, who writes
for Colfax’s organ, the-South Bend (Ind.)
Register, and has a mania for collecting
documents. Two of the Forneys, both of
the Washington Sunday Chronicle, lay
around for items and contributions, and J.
J. Noah, the protege or Spencer, rashes
around with a file of the Montgomery
Sentinel on his person. The majority of tho
press list, as published in the Congrega
tional Directory, are made up of such beats
as the above, including many antiquated
females looking for positions, and some who
are fixed. Hodnett or Redpath, both labor
reformers, have Dicke ’ up their peripatetic
sheets and left for pastures new.
THE ELECTIONS
of last Tuesday caused considerable excite
ment here. Hundreds of government clerks
were sent off to vote and electioneer, and
the rest were up ail night in great sus
pense. When dispatches were received an
nouncing that Hartranft had carried Penn
sylvania, the cheering was vociferous. No
band had been engaged, as so much doubt
hung over everything, but the music of
the glasses was substituted, and Radical
ism was rejoiced. Gr .nt is now considered
in for the third term, as he is the only
strong man in the party.
DBAMATIC, ETC.
Joaquin Miller, the “Poet of the Bierras,”
appeared on the boards of Hall last
Saturday, but, unlike the verse
makers, sports a great profusion of dia
monds. The author of “Songs of the Sun
lands” did not pnt in his time around the
mines for nothing, and whether he deals
from top or bottom, he plays a very stiff
game. The British literati are generally
well off, and Miller struck oil when he fell
among them. Luckily for him Bob
Schenck’s instructions in poker gave them
just a'sufficient outline of the science of the
game as to make them an easy prey.
Joaquin, therefore, returns to his ettive
heath to make his reputation solid and
make np with Mrs. Miller, who now ruas a
newspaper aud cigar stand in ’Frisco.
Barry Sullivan has been playing Richard
lll.,Hamlet, etc., at the National, and mtkes
burlesque of these sterling dramas. He
was cut oat for a comedian, and is not
suited for anght else.
Mrs. Titicns, a fat woman with a v*ry
good voice and well supported by a choice
company, gave us some good concerts last
week and charged very decent prices of ad
mission—one dollar and a half for a seat,
and two dollars and a half for a reserved
seat. These prices brought out all the boo
tail aristocracy, and the dressing was a sigh
itself.
An interesting show was given by the
apostle of the administration, Rev. J. p.
Newman, at the Tenth street Methodist
Episcopal Church on the 26th nit. The
Doc. exhibited a lot of oriental curiosites
and gave notes of what he had seen in tae
East while sc .wing the land as “Inspector
of Consulates” at five thousand dollars per
annum. After the le'tore there was a “Ja
panese Tea Drinking,” superintended by
Mrs. Newman (no gin in the tea), after
which Rev. 'V. J. McKenney and other
psalm singers warbled awhile, and the per
formance ended.
GENERAL TOPICS.
The Florida Railroad case has been taken
under advisement by the Supreme Court,
the arguments having been completed, i
witt tend the full case when a decision is
rendered by the Court.
Senator Burnside, who is the dressiest
man in Congress, having been so since Lee
dressed him so nicely at Fredericksburg, has
been here, stopping at the Arlington. His
picture appears in Butterick's fashion plates
for winter suits. Burnside made a respectable
fortune off his carbines during the war, and
knows how to hold on to it. Senator Mor
on has also been here.
Bngbam Young being in durance vile for
$9,300 alimony given by the U. 8. Court to
Ann Eliza Young, Senator Saigeant, of Cal
ifornia, one of B. Y’s attorneys, is trying to
get the judgment set aside on the ground
that gentle Annie knew that Brigham bad
been in a muchly married condition previ
ously, and therefore could at most claim to
be his concubine.
W. \Y. Corcoran, the Washington million
aire, has donated the sum of SSOO to the
Southern Historical Society, and promises
them the same sum annually hereafter.
Colonels Adair and Vann, Cherokees, have
received fifty thousand dollars for services
as attorneys for the Osages, and the bal
ance of their fees, two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, will be paid them by the
Indian Office as soon as the President signs
their papers. Cherokee lawyers know how
to charge fees.
The Cheyennes have whipped a detach
ment of United States troops near Fort
Hayes, Kansas, and we may look for another
instalment of Indian depredation claims
soon.
The bust of Salmon P. Chase has been
placed near the Senate entrance of the |capi
tol, and Jones who sculped it now stands by
for his change. The statue of Senator Ba
ker, who was killed at Ball’s Bluff, is daily
expeoted.
Most of the paintings in the rotunda of
the capitol need revamping. Whitewash
would be an improvement tolhem.
It is denied that the government has
made any demand for the cessation of
hostilities in Cuba. Old Caleb Cushing is
too busy getting up points for future law
business to bother himself about the Cu
bans. Caleb is squarely ou the ‘‘make.”
The news from Liberia is to the effect
that the untutored Africans of the coast
chawed the graduates of the Monrovia
Military Academy up in the late lighting.
This will cast a dampener on the emigra
tion scheme.
Old Frazier, the Treasury Cotton Judge,
is ht re again, but has about finished up in
the Cotton Bureau. Here is an opportu
nity for some member of the next Congress
to distinguish himself, going through Fra
zier’s operations and exposing the frauds.
Robertson,of South. Carolina, is very thick
with the administration to be as liberal as
reported. He and Patterson work together
pretty well.
The Richmond papers want a fast mail
South, but it is doubtful whether Scott or
Garrett, who control most of the roads lead
ing South, will see the advisability of it.
Cyclops.
The Richard Case.
From a letter received from our special
correspondent at Fernandina we learn
that the grand jury found a true bill in
this case on Wednesday. On Friday of
last week it was understood that they had
agreed that the facts did not warrant an
indictment, and that such a finding was
prepared, but, in the absence of the
Judge, not delivered to the court until
Saturday. Mr. McDonnell, the Solicitor,
we are informed, notified the defendant’s
brother that such was the finding of the
grand jury, and, as a consequence, the
case was ended.
But, it seems, this did not suit Judge
Archibald, nor Judge Emmons, who, we
understand, is to get a handsomely in
creased fee, in case of conviction, and
the case was opened again and some
twenty more witnesses brought before
the jury, and we presume a hundred
others could have been had, all willing to
testify by the card, and a true bill is the
result.
Our command of the English language
is wholly inadequate to express our
opinion of the deep and diabolical wick
edness of this whole transaction. A
fatal madness seems to have seized upon
the officials, not only of the court, but
of the whole State, and they are deter
mined, cost what it will, irrespective of
the innocence of the prisoner, to convict
him.
For the present, and in view of the
feverish excitement of the public, and
the deep current of indignation gather
ing in the minds of the people, we for
bear further comment, but remark that
when all the foots are developed we will
offer such obmments as they warrant,
though it cover those concerned, from
the highest to the lowest, with deserved
infamy. —Jacksonville Press.

The Chattanooga Times tells of a won

bottom, and the river overflowed it in
March, leaving a deep deposit of sedi

20th of April to the 11th of May—rather
late. An acre was measured off and the
corn gathered from it on the 2d of Octo

was gathered on the 21st October, and
the yield was 114f bushels. An average

SAVANNAH MARKET.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICE OF THE MORNING NEWS,\
Tuesday', November 9, 1875. /
General Remarks.— The market has been
very quiet the past week, and only a moderate
amount of business has been done. Interior
merchants have completed their purchases of
regular stocks, and are now only filling up on
orders as the occasion requires. Jobbers, how
ever, are looking for an increased trade during
the next month in holiday goods, and are already
making preparation to meet it. Small local
retailers are purchasing from our jobbers to a
greater extent than formerly, instead of going
North as heretofore, which has increased the
aggregate trade of jobbers to a small extent over
past years. There have been no very important
changes in the marker, tue past week, and prices
remain unchanged.
Cotton.— The market for spot cotton during
the week has been quiet and has undergone a
decline of %c in the total, though it has fluctu
ated more or less during the time under the in
fluences of dull advices from controlling mar
kets. Holders have generally demanded full
prices for all desirable cottons and in most in
stances have obtained them, though buy
ers have fought hard to buy under quotations-
To-day large transactions have been effected at
outside prices and the market closed firm. Sales
for the week foot up 11,614 bales. We quote:
