THE FEDERAL UNION.
Corner of Hancock and Wilkinson Streets.)
Wednesday Morning, September 6, 1871,
track on any Fair Grounds North or
South.
Taking a position a any point of the
circumference the spectator can see
every step taken by the horse or horses
on the track. There i- Jso a beautiful
half mile track in the park, adjoining
the mile track.
The buildings being erected are
placed on firm foundations, and will be
substantial, neat and sufficiently Com
modious to give to all ample and com
fortable accommodations. The whole
affair is being gotten up on a gig otic
scale, and no man in Georgia is better
fitted for a leader or director than is
the live and business man of Mucon,
W. A. Huff, in whose hands is this
whole interest.
After going over the grounds with
Col. Huff, all the pi ces of interest
pointed out to us, we came to the con
clusion that in the selection of the
grounds, in the laying off of the tracks,
the locating of the different buildings,
the decorating of the banks of the river
for more t han half a mile, in the whole
make up of the Central City Fair
Grounds he has damaged Atlanta, and
if she brought suit against him and we
were on the jury we would decide
against him for heavy damages. There
is no comparison whatever in point of
beauty and convenience between those
grounds and the grounds near Atlanta."
THAT STARTLING} MANIFESTO.
Aii Infainoii* Kntlicnl Forgery.
The New York Herald, of the 27th
instant, contains what is pretended to
be a manifesto from a Southern asso
ciation in New York setting forth a
declaration that the cause of Southern
independence is not lost, but can be
revived and established by following
the writer’s advice. This advice is
for the Southern Democrats to cut
loose entirely from the Northern Dem
ocrats, and have nothing to do with
them ; to gain the ascendancy in
every Southern State and then call a
Convention of the Southern States and
elect a Southern President, and then
send a strong committee to Congress
and demand Southern independence.
There are no names signed to this man
ifesto, and it plays into the hands of
the Radical leaders so plainly that
there can be no doubt of its being a
Radical forgery from beginning to end,
yet the Herald professes to believe it
is Mr. Stephens’ writing, and says it
souuds like Jeff Davis’ speeches. We
hope the Democrats of the North will
soon find out w ho these forgers are and
expose them.
“Compensation.”—We ask every
friend of human nature in its best
earthly phase to read the poetry un
der this head. If it don’t come home
to some of his own feelings he has
not experienced all of the ups and
dowms of life.

THE STATE KUAD INVESTIGATIONS.
We thought at one time that the
people of Georgia were about to get
at the facts of the State Road swin
dling, and if they did not get back
their money, they would have the sat
isfaction of seeing some of the princi
ple thieves punished. But we are now-
convinced that the whole thing will
turn out a farce and a cheat. Perhaps
the men who first started the investi
gation were honest and intended to do
their duty, but as soon as they got
well under way, Foster Blodgett and
Potash Farrow stepped in and took
control of the investigation. What
have w-e to expect from these men ex-
cej.t that they will try to mislead and
to cover up the tracks of the real vil-
lians :—“ Do men gather grapes ol
thorns or figs of thistles /” There is
an old proverb that says “set a thief
to catch a thief,” but we never heard
it recommended to set a thief to catch
hirnsell. But this seems to be what the
people of Atlanta intend doing. It
Blodgett and Farrow had wanted to
expose this swindling, why have they
waited so long ? The last investiga
tion looks Jike a plan to blind and de
ceive the public. About a million of
dollars has been stolen, and they lav
hold of a man who had sold a few ar
ticles to the road and try to make out
that he cheated ail the officers of the
road, and got pay for articles that he
did not furnish. If the charge should
prove true, it w-ould only amount to a
few dollars, and it now seems that they
will not be able to establish even that.
Does not this w T hole charge against
Miller seem as if they wanted to draw
the attention of the public from the
main culprits ? Why do they trifle
w-ith such small pin hook affairs and
let the big thieves escape ? The peo
ple have made up their minds who the j These gentlemen are offering to the public, at their
big thieves are, and no such trifling
will satisfy them. If this pretended
investigation turns out a cheat, intend
ed to draw the attention of the country
to wrong individuals, whilst the real
thieves are allowed to escape, we call
on the members of the Legislature to
sift this whole matter to the bottom as
soon as they assemble, and not let the
people of Atlanta cover the real cul
prits by sham investigation.
THE MACON FAIR.
From all that we can hear we are in
clined to believe that the next Fair
held there will be a decided success.—
At tlie first Fair, the citizens of Macon
were taken by surprise. The crowd
was much larger than they expected,
aud they were not prepared to enter
tain them. The Fair Grounds were
at too great a distance from the city—
visitors were disappointed and cross.
Yet in many respects that show was
very respectable; ‘but we believe that
the next will be much better. The
citizens of Macon don’t say very much
about it, but they are doing a great
deal, aud we wish them complete suc
cess.
We take the following description
of the Fair Grounds from the Dawson
Journal:
“ We are indebted to His Honor,
W. A. Huff, Mayorof the city of Ma
con, for a ride over the entire grounds
belonging to the city, which is now
being put in order for the holding of
the next Annual Fair of the .State of
Georgia. The location is on the banks
of the Ocmulgee river, about one half
mile from the passenger depot and on
the line of the Macon & Augusta Rail
road.
* A more appropriate and beautiful
spot cannot be found in the State for
the bolding of the Annual Fairs, and
we imagine that the Executive Com
mittee will agree with us after they
have inspected the grounds, provided
they leave all their prejudices in favor
of Atlanta at home. We have never
seen a better and more perfect mile

Saratoga, August 26—There are
three great men in Saratoga. ' One is
the Hon. Warren Leland, another is
Moilfcieur Jose Poltenghi, and the third
is the Hon. Robert T. ompson, Aider-
man of the city of Washington. Up
on these three hang all the law and
the profits of the Gra. 1 Union. The
former is the chief manager, the sec
ond is the chief cook, aud the third is
the chief waiter of this great hotel.
The Sun reporter has paid a visit to
the kitchen of M. Poltenghi. He was
escorted by Mr. Warren Leland, junior,
a frail and delicate youth of 16 or 60
summers. M. Poltenghi received his
visitors with an ease and grace that
was really captivating. He is a re
markably handsome man, and con
verses fluently in the five languages.
He wore a big white apron and a white
square cap, and when the Sun report
er entered the kitchen, he was superin
tending the beating of ten gallons of
the yolks of eggs in a copper kettle.
M. Poltenghi has under his immediate
command 25 cooks. These are dis
tributed in sections comprising 5 broil
ers, 8 men on entrees, 8 butchers, 4 dep
uty cooks, and one meat roaster. The
four immediate deputies of M. Polten-
gliai are Italians. The Sun reporter

ity, with very few cases, aud little or no apparent
increase from day to day. The deaths are very
few, the disease yielding readily to medical treat
ment when taken in time. In fact, the bills of
mortality show fewer deaths than are usual at this
soaaou of the year without yellow fever, and un
derull the circumstances we see no occasion for

ooened the door of it to show- the in

of meat.
A BED OF LIVE COALS
in one corner lighted the place. There
were 150 huge pans of meat in the
oven, and the sizzing, sputtering noise
that came therefrom sounded like the
roar of a distant cataract. The steam
that arose filled the air, and gave it a
kind of a reflective power, so that as
far as the eye could reach a vast plain
of roasting flesh met the gaze. Pass
ing from this to the pastry room, the
reporter saw a dreamy looking Ital
ian making apple tarts. He looked
like Byron. The poetic fire of that
great genius gleamed in his eye and
marked every lineament of his face.
He looked as unhappy as Childe Har
old and as despairing as the Foscari.
As the Sun reporter approached lie

sented his hand.
-A LOVE STORY.
This was Signor Horatio Pasquale
Haffa, the chief of M. Poltenghi’s
pastry division. The poor Signor is in
sore trouble. His tarts are good, his
pies luscious, aud his bread superb;
but yet the Signor is not happy.
Two w-eeks or more ago a fairy form
in white glided into the pastry room.
She was as beautiful as a poet’s dream,
and as artless as a cove. She came
with others to see the acres of pies
and mountains of jelly that arose be
neath the dextrous touch of Signor
Rafik’s hand. The Signor gazed upon
the fairy form. The violet orbs drop
ped beneath the soul stirring look ot
tho passionate Italian, but the mischief
w r as done. The Signor fell.
DESPERATELY IN LOVE.
The fairy form turned to take an
other look at the dreamy face as it left
the room. The Italian smiled, so did
the fairy form. Henceforth the Sig
nor knew no peace, and between the
long intervals of pie-fnaking he has
kept a ceaseless watch for the return
of tiis soul’s attraction. M. Poltenghi
says that the Signor never smiles now.
He potters about putting the whites
of eggs where yolks ought to be and
sugar where the lard should go, while
Ins mind is away up stairs in the gild
ed saloons or across the lawn iu the
ballroom. Signor Rifla was however
very polite to the Sun man. He
showed him his ovens, his piles ot
bread, his pyramids of creams aud ices,
his acres ol pies, and his lakes of pud
ding sauce- He pointed with infinite
pride to the evidences of his handi
work, and spoke feelingly of the guests’
appreciation of them. But there was
A TOUCH OF SADNESS
in all the Signor said and did that
showed how completely he had been
ensnared by the violet eyes that turn
ed so sw’eetly to take a last look.—
Once his eyes would wander languidly
from his custards and creams and gaze
long and earnest y from his kitchen
window to the greensward where a
bevy of beauties were congregated.—
He heaved a great sigh which sounded
French, American, or any other race
that lias a white face, has no rights
which the African is bound to respect.
Campbell, in a speech which he
made to the negroes of Darien, upon
his return to that place, after bis dis
charge by the United States authori
ties, said “ he was the champion of
his race, and he intended to do in the
future exactly as he had dune in the
past, and take the consequences.” It
appears that he lias kept his word.
Since writing the above, we learn
that Captain liatfield has been re-
] leased and has arrived in this city.—
Sav. Morning News.
The Reign ok Small Men.—The
Utica Observer, published at the home
of Governor Seymour, calis upon tin
Democracy in all portions of the State
to place in nomination this fall for the
Senate and Assembly the ablest and
most distinguished members of the
party.
This ought to be done both by
Democrats and Republicans, and not
only in regard to nominees for tli
Legislature, but to candidates on the
State ticket.
The whole country is blasted by the
reign of small men, and our republican
system is withering away under their
rule. If the people would preserve
their institutions, they must rid them
selves of this evil. While cleansing
the White House at the earliest op
portunity, let the reform in the mean
time be initiated in this State this
year.
Thirty, forty, and fifty years ago the
foremost meu in New York, statesmen
whose names filled the land, readily
accepted seats in the Legislature and
in the Senate Hall. Send such repre
sentatives there now, and the reign ol
jobbery and corruption will come to
an end ; and it will never end till

The Annual Fairs —The holding the great
Annual Fairs in this State have been so arranged
that no one will conflict with the ethers. They
come in the following order ;
The Rome Fair, on the 10th October.
The Atlanta Fair, on the 16th October.
The State Fair, (at Macon) 23d October.
The Cotton States Fair. (Augusta) 31st October.
Fair of tho Industrial Association of Georgia, at
Savannah, November 21st.
We have here a series of most interesting occa
sions, and no doubt all ol them will be laigely at
tended.
The Savannah Fair has every prospect of being
one of tbe largest and most numerously attended.
The Association is making its preparations on a
grand scale, and from present appearances we , .. _ • , ITI! . , . .

Lost Their Last Friend.—The scalawags
and carpet-baggeis of the South have always
found in the virtuous Forney their staunchest
friend He resembles them so nearly in their
most salient characteristics, that it was but natu
ral bis soul should cleave unto them as bis breth
ren. But from the following we judge tven For
ney’s stomach is turning. Tbe symptoms of a
vomit certainly show very strong in these words :
“ Recent developments in Southern politics
show that tbe Republicans of that section are on
the eve of an inevitable fight betweeu hsuesty and
corruption. It is a fact which cannot be disguised
and we have never attempted to conceal, that a
large and influential portion of the men who rep.
resent the Republican party in tbe South are mere
adventurers, without any interest in the success
of tbe organization other than money-making.’’
the goose. (Persistent laughter.)
These gentlemen, Hervvig and Casey,
visited me time and agaiu. They
told me they w-ere going to stand by
the Republican patty, that whatever
I wanted done should be done, and ev
erybody who was a friend of mine
should be put in the Custom-house,
and everybody who was not a friend
of mine should go out. I said to them
“Dry up your tears, my friends ; I
don’t want you to put friends of mine
or enemies of mine in or out of the
Custom-house. I want you to put in
Republicans; men that will stand by
the Republican party. (Applause.) —
Men who will stand up and battle for
Republican principles and not consid
er me as an individual or anybody else
individually, but who will make the
success of the Republican party a par
amount consideration to everything
else.” He agreed to do it, and he
was quieted in office. I wrote to the
President a letter which the President
thought was conclusive, and he said
Casey must be a splendid fellow, an
excellent Republican, because he has
the best indorsement iu the State,
namely, the Governor’s (Laughter
and cheers.) Casey remained and
Hervvig remained, and no sooner did
they find themselves established than
they went whoring with the very peo
ple who had sought to turn them out.
* * My friend Jim Casey is a clever
fellow. He ha-n’t sense enough to be
a bad fellow. (Laughter) A man to
be a bad fellow must have some char
acter—he hasn’t any. (Much laugh
ter.) That little native of Jerusalem,
Felix Herwig—(laughter)—leads him
round by the nose, and takes him up
stairs and down stairs, and puts him
first in one comer and then in another,
and Casey doesn’t know while Her
vvig is doing all this that he is filling
the Custom-house with his relations.
Casey don’t know to-day that Herwig’s
brother is chief of the bonded ware
house department; that another broth
er owns bonded'warehouse No. 6, class
3 ; that a brother-in-law is chief
weigher ; and Casey doesn’t know
thet Hervvig has been scheming and
plotting aud planning to get Uilrnau,
another brother-in-law,appointed chief
appraiser. (Laughter and cheers.) He
don’t know enough to see that with
Hervvig chief deputy, one brother
chief of bonded warehouse department,
another brother owning the general
order warehouse, a brother-in-law
chief weigher, and another chief ap
praiser, Felix Herwig could, in twelve
months, steal the United States as
poor as a rat ! (Loud anal long-cou-
tinued laughter and cheers.) It was
because I was not in favor of putting
all Mr. Herwig’s brothers and broth-
ers-iti-lavv into the Custom-house that
Hervvig comes to the conclusion, “I
am not for Grant ;” and he comes to
Casey at midnight and early dawn, at
breakfast, dinner, and supptr, and
says : “Casey, Warmoth ain’t sound
on the Grant question.” (Laughter.)
He is not sound on the Grant question
because he is not in favor of putting

The Hudson Gazette makes the fol
lowing answer to the question who it
was that made to Gen. Grant the pres
ent of the cottage at Long Branch in
which he is now living :
“John Chamberlain, a notorious
sporting man, proprietor of tbe gam
bling hell in Twenty-fifth street, New
York, and also proprietor of the Cl ub
House aud race course at Long Branch,
is among the leading subscribers to
the fund which purchased Grant’s sea
side cottage. The information comes
so direct that we have no reason to.

Grant took possession of ‘that valuable
piece of property.’
“Humiliating as Grant’s course has
been throughout his Presidential term,
how much does it add to that humilia
tion in the eyes of the staid people of
the United States to have it publicly
proclaimed that his princely seaside
residence—where he dallies away the
days and weeks and months that
should be devoted to the duties of
his office—is in part the gift of pro
fessional gamblers and sporting men !”
The Hudson Gazette does not pro
fess to know the names of the other
persons who contributed to give tbe
President his summer residence ; or, if
it knows them, it prefers to withhold
them from publicity.
The Gazette speaks without mercy
of John Chamberlain ; but it onght to
acknowledge that, soj far as yet ap
pears, he has never asked or received
from the great American Present-Ta

ficial favor in return for his present.

thanks of the people of ths district arc eminently
due the delegates to the Forsyth Convention for
nominating Col. T. J. Simmons I somehow rr
other never thought of him in connection with
tbe office until I saw it announced in your paper
yesterday morning ; and yet there is net a man in
aii the district more pet feet ly acceptable , more
worthy to till it, or who would letiect more honor
npon the people if he is elected. Of his election
I cannot entertain a doubt, for Georgia needs such
men in her Legislature now. There is not a blero
ish upon Lis good name—there is not a doubt ol
bis integrity—there is not a question ot his ability
to fill aposition much higher than tbe one in ques
