We enter our decided protest against in sulting Senator Thurman by such a com parison. Let Morton stand alone on the pedestal of infamy he has so well corned by his ooorse towards the Sonth since the war. The Beginning of Jay Cooke & Co.'s Troubles. The Cincinnati Commercial’s Wash ington correspondent telegraphs that the fact seems to hats been overlooked that as fast as the net pn> «ds of sales of cotton seised by Treasury agents were received at the Department, they were traaaforrod to the vaults of Jay Gooke k Co., and there remained until twenty millions bad accumulated in the posses sion of that /tm. When the joint reso lution of March >0, 2868, introduced by Senator Edmunds, was passed, and the Cooke i were compelled to disgorge, it was w»U known that their establishment was shaken to i£< very foundation. The entire proceeds of these sales were $34,- 082.809 54. from which are to be de ducted for expenses in handling the cot ton $£.310,786 99. leaving $24,742,022 65 net proceeds now in the Treasury to be paid to claimant* under the fifth section of the Appropriation act of May 18,1872. When this twenty millions were returned to the Treasury, Jay Cooke k Co. began to decline, their omUrrasaments creasing until they culminetcd in the recent grand crash. who were exercised on the Park ode ground. Though in citizen’s garb, and low representing his State in one of the most exalted civil offices in her gift, every inch still a soldier, his martial bear ing made the fact patent to the least ob servant. The parade, insignificant aa it wa* in point of number* aa a miliiary d:- t :.iy, was yet a perfect miniature typ of the grand field daya of the gallant army corps who had so frequently been review- ed by their glorious chief. That serrie hoit had often drilled and znanaeuevred i almost all of its divisions by the youn officer who rose like a brilliant meteor al most from the ranks, to be the peer the greatest captains of the Confederal Ilow those days of siege and battle, of marches and bivouacs, of carnage death, must have risen to view, with their phantom images of dead and living com pan ion* in arms. So .o of the dramatis personas in those stirring scenes were present and must have vie red the evolutions of the young soldiery with & pride and sat isfaction peculiarly the prerogative of veterans. As there are still other companies to display their skill to day in the friendly contest for the palm of military excellency, it might seem in vidious to particularize at this time in regard to those which have already dis played their address in the manly art, but would warn the remaining contestants to look well to their laurels and do their best devoirs if they would pluck the cov eted prize from thos> whose admirable skill has already beeu displayed. What ever is to be the award, it will doubtless give satisfaction when made by such ex perienced and impartial judges as the gallant Anderson, of Savannah, the ac complished and experienced Robinson, formerly of the State Military Institute and the chieftain Gordon. Georgia may well be proud of her citizen soldiery. Boston pape.*s say that the Hub is not now a good place for men seeking em ployment. The number of unemployed msn may not be so largo in proportion to the population as in • other places, but there are more mechanics and laboring men than can find work, and those who come in the expectation of obtaining it •re pretty sure to be disappointed. Many who have come to Boston from New Eng land cities and towns within the past two weeks, after ■]-ending their money, are •till out of work, and are fed and lodged at the eanense cf the local charities. Gov. Moats, of South Carolina, has ex pressed himself in favor of the issue of •‘one million dollars in bills receivable for the purpose of relieving the financial embarrassment cf the people—said bills to be taken by the State in payment of taxes." The business men of South Car olina are opposed to the issue of more paper, which must necessarily become greatly depreciated from the face value, •specially as they believe that the finan cial embarrassment which prompts the recommendation is confined to Moses and his gang of carpet-bog plunderers. A you no mart named Glassup, while gathering nuts in Kent, England, a few Sundays ago, full into an excavation which had been .jommenced for a spring. It wae forty feet in depth, and the fall gave him some severe bruises. His cries were not heard, :vnd he remained all Mon day without anything to eat- On Tues day he caught some field mioe, which were devoured. He became delirious that afternoon. On Wednesday his cries attracted the attention of a man who was out shooting and ho wa< rescued. A cojrvixriox of farmers has been held in San Francisco to consider measures for procuring legislative action for the exter mination of squirrels. One farmer esti mated that he hid lost over one thousand dollars in a year by the voracious little Animals, and the losses of nineteen farm ers aggregated 19.672. The bounty sys tem has boon found impracticable, but it is thought that the squirrels can be de stroyed by a general poisoning campaign. Tnb Faunwsir* Scrrtn.—The pub lished account of this brief re-union of the Centennial Committee and their friends, contain*! several errors, and many typographical mistakes. At a Late hour the facts were hurriedly given to another, and thrown together without ever coming under ths purview of the editor. Governor Smith was not present, and the mistake* are so glaring that at tention need not be called to them. Pabttks writing to Washington from Alabama report great destitution in sev eral counties in that State, but more es pecially in Sumter and Marengo, in con sequence of the destruction of the cotton crop by the raimi and the army worm.

Let Macon Come to tlie Rescue To-day. It will be seen elsewhere that the May or and Council, and many prominent cit izen* also, have signed an appeal to our people to doso their business houses to day at noon, and repair en masse to the Fair Grounds. One of our own military companies will enter the arena as a con testant for the prize at that hour, and all will feel anxious to witness their per formances. Again, it is now universally admitted that the present exposition is by far the grandest and most brilliant display of Southern industry eyer held before. Indeed, it is doubtful if it ever has been surpassed at all, even by any of the Northern States with their teeming mil lions of population. How eminently proper, then, that Macon should enjoy one gala day as a reward for her untiring efforts to make the Fair a suc cess. Let old and young, male and fe male, mechanic and merchant, be allowed a holiday on this occasion aqd all turn out and witness the glorious fruition of their labors. The Mint Director on Silver. The Director of the Mint mokes the following statement of the purpose of the Government in paying out silver coin. As in other countries, where gold is the standard, or measure of values, silver coins are over valued for the purpose of rendering them inexportable. They are manufactured and issued on government account, the law, however, placing direct ly or indirectly a limit on the issue, to prevent a redundancy. If issued in times of specie payment beyond the re quirement of the public for change, such coin will not maintain their purchasing power with the standard coins. Owing to various causes in this and other coun tries, silver has declined in value to a point at which the Government can pur chase it with gold, manufacture it into small coin and pay it out at a fair profit. The Government has recently purchased a quantity of silver bullion, sufficient for its purposes, at $1 121 per standard ounce, and will manufacture it into coin at tho fixed legal rate, at |1 24 4-10 per ounce, the difference between tho pur chasing and the issuing rate being within a fraction of 12 cents per ounce, or about 101 por cent, on the gold coin paid in pur chase. This operation is believed to be a more profitable one tor tho Treasury and also more advantageous to the public, in the present condition of the money mar ket, than tho sale of gold for legal tender notes, and is not a scheme for the re sumption of specie payments, but simply specie pa; a compliance with the mint laws, lar in United States currency will pur chase a little more gold in the market than a dollar of small silver coin. The dollar will therefore soon find its level, am! unless there be a rise in both the prices of gold and silver, the small coins most circulate concurrently with paper money. The Government has in the possession of the Assistant Treasurer l . J.AA AAA -M S .4 41. . .bout JSOO/100 in iflrer coin, an! at the mint an.i .-i—ay office, in rilver bullion amt coin about t.0 million.. This stock is ample for the present- Thi, mode of paying out silver coin will be continued until circumstances shall dictate the con trary oourae as proper. The Government will exact the fall seigniorage required by law, but will not undertake to control the disposition of the coin after it is paid oat. The coin will then become the property of the holders, who pay do what they plr.se with it. This course ww not decided upon until it hod been fully considered by tho fceexetary and Treiumrer. The Wilson Jfetv Underfeed Shuttle - Sewing Machine. There Is on exhibition at Floral Hall a singing bird, exhibited by the Wilson Sewing Machine Company of New Or leans. which is attracting much atten tion. This bird is constructed in such a manner as to deceive all exoept the ini. tinted. It is really a mechanical wonder* This company have on exhibition some of the finest finished, gold plated, inlaid ever exhibited in this or any other country. The new Wilson Excel- monofacturing machine is also on exhibition, and is really a marvel of beauty, being gold plated and inlaid with pearl. This machine is used for leather work and tailoring, and fine family sew ing can also be done on it with ease. The family machines, we are informed, sell at $55, and are warranted for five years. This long guarantee would seem to im ply that the machine is well made, which its appesranoe indicates.

October Ss.—The follow ing two letters recently passed between the Emperor of Germany and the Pope: Vatican, August 7, 1873. Your Majxstt : Toe measures which have been adopted by your Majesty's government for some time past ail aim more and more at the destruction of Catholicism. When I seriously ponder over the causes which may hare led to these very hard measures, I confess that I am unable to discover any reasons for such a coarse. On the other hand I am informed that your Majesty does not countenance the proceedings of your gov ernment. an ! does not approve the harsh- om of the measures a-lopted agu-n-t Catholic religion. If, then, it be true that your Majesty does not approve thereof—and the letters which your au gust Majesty has addressed to me for merly might sufficiently demonstrate that you cannot approve that which is now occurring—if I say your Majesty does not amove oi your govern ment continuing in the path it has chosen, of further extending its xeligioos meas ures again-t the religion’of Je~us CnrUt, whereby the latter is most injuriously affected, will your Majesty then not be come convinced that taesc measures have no‘other effect than that of undermining your Majesty’s own throne? I speak with frankness, for my banner is truth. I speak in order to fulfill one of my duties, which consists in telling the truth to all, even to tho** who are not Catho lics ; for every one who has been baptized belongs in some way or other, which to define more precisely would be here out of place, belongs I say to the Pope, cherish the conviction that your Majesty will receive my observations with your usual goodness’ and will adopt the meas ures necessary in the present case. While offering to your most gracious Majesty the expression of my devoted estee pray to God that He may enfold your Majesty and myself in one and the same bond of mercy. Pio. TH* EMPEROR TO THE POPeJ The Emperor replied os follows: Berlin, Sept. 3,1873. I am glad your Holiness, has in former times done me the honor to write to me. I rejoice more at this, since. an oppor tunity is thereby afforded me of correct ing the errors which, as appears from the contents of the letter of your Holiness, of tho 7th of August, must have occurred in the communications which ypu have received relating to German affairs. If the reports which are made to your Holi ness respecting German questions only stated the truth, it would not be possible for your Holiness to entertain the suppos ition that my Government enters upon a path which I do not approve. According to the Constitution of my States such a case cannot happen, since the laws and the Government measures in Prussia re quire my consent os sovereign. To my sorrow, a portion of my Catholic subjects have organized for the past two years a political party which endeavors to disturb, by intrigues hostile to the State, the religious peace which has existed in Prussia fir centuries. Leading Catholic priests have, unfortunately, not only ap proved this movement, but joined in it to the extent to open revolt against the existing laws. It will not have escaped the observation of your Holiness that similar indications manifest themselvi at the present time in several European and in some trans-Atlantic States. It is not my mission to investigate the causes by which the clergy and faithful of one of the Christian denominations can be induced actively to assist the enemies of all law; but it certainly is my mission to protect the in ternal peace and preserve the authority of the laws in the States whose govern ment ha* been entrusted to me by God. I am conscious that I owe, hereafter, on account of the accomplishment of this my kingly duty. I shall maintain order and law in my States against all attacks, as long os God gives me power. I am in duty bound to do it, as a Christian arch, even when to n?’y sorrow I Jjjive to fulfill jthis royal duty against the ser vants of a church which I suppose knowledges, no lass than the evangelical church, that the com mapdant of obedience to the secular authority is eujanatton of*the revealed will of God.

DAY DISPATCHES. or ted by a great niwrny or my loyai i^tuouc and Evangelical subjects, of extorting obedience to law by wordly means. I willingly entertain the hope that your Holiness, upon being informed of the true position of affairs, will use your au thority to put a end to tho agination car ried on amid the deplorable distortion pf truth and abuse of the priestly authority. The religion of Jesus Christ has. as I at test to your Holiness before God, nothing to do with these intrigues, any more than has the truth, whose banner, invoked by your Holiness, I unresenedly subscribe. There is one more expression in the letter of your Holiness whi.-h I cannot pass over without contradiction, although it is not based upon previous informa tion, but upon the belief of your Holi ness, namely, the expression that every one that has received baptism belongs to the Pope. The evangelical creed which, as must be known to your Holiness, I, like my ancestors and the majority of my subjects, pipfas*. does not permit us to accept in our relating to God any other mediator than our Lord Jesqs Christ. Difference of belief does not prevent me from living in peace with those who do not share mine, and offering, your Holi ness, the expression of my personal de votion and esteem, William. The Evil Fruit of the System of Strikes, From the New York Times, 27th.j The working classes—to use the com mon but not always appropriate term ap plied to artisans and laborers—are well aware that A hard winter is before them. We are very aony for it. but at the same time we can' pot but them that they hare by no means made, the best use of their opportunities in the past. Their eight-hour strike** and the despot ism of their trades-unions have injured their trades, and tended to impoverish rather than enrich th<*ir families. To take only a single example -people now spend os little money as they can iu hav- their houses “done up." for painters not work longer than eight hours a day, and for that they demand the wages formerly paid for ten hours. And so with most other trade?. The result is that people say: “Aye will pot do anything to ths bouse this year, let it go till next year,’’ and then they will say the same thing. This 2ao$e also affects furniture makers, and nearly* all other artisans. And yet, even at this critical moment, some trade* are talking of strikes, and one—the cigar makers—actually did strike the other day. If workingmen say, “We have a right to strike,” they must not be surprised if capitalists retort, •* Yes, and we have right to protect ourselves; there fore do not complain when we discharge you. Formerly we would have gone ont of our way to havo found two or three days' work a week for you in such times; now you cannot expect us to put ourselves to inoonrenienoe, or to show any consid eration for you, seeing that you have never shown any for us.” This, we fear, will be the prevalent state of feeling, and intelligent artisans well know in their own minds s that they owe it to their trades-unions, and to the demagogues who incessantly teach them that capital New York Finances.

A New Dodge in Counterfeit ing The Knoxville Press and Herald of Thursday says a new dodge in counter feiting which does not appear to have been krown by any of the East T< see “koni-ackers” or Tar-Heel “shovers of tho queer,” has come to light. On Monday last, while Abram Tandy, an ex pert in the sub-Treasury, in Washington, was counting & package of Treasury notes received from a Natio: 1 bank on Satur day, he discovered one of the denomina tion of $100 which hml a genuine face and counterfeit bank. These were so neatly pasted together that it was almost to de tect the deception. The supposition was that a good bill had been “split” or cut in two pieces, and then attached to the counterfeit back and face. The process by which the bill was separated into parts is thought to have been bj steam. How many have been prepared in this way and put on the market cannot be told, os this is the first one discovered. A good deal of excitement was caused among the Treasury officials by tho discovery. The bill was shown to Assistant Treasury Hillhouse and Dr. Field, Superintendent of tho Bill Department, who pronounced it one of the most remarkable counter- f *i_ 4.1 1... 1 o. ' feifcs they had ever seen. Secretary Rich ardson was telegraphed about it. A Silvery Joke. The situation in Wall street on Wed nesday was marked by a most quiet feel ing. When tho Government first agitat ed the policy of paying out silver, the premium was almost nominal on small pieces, while trade dollars were worth 8J @9 per cent premium, but now small sil ver is worth 3 per cent and trade dollars 12 per cent premium. The Express says, how long at this rate will it take the Government to bring silver and paper on a par with each other? [The whole secret is that people know silver is better than paper and act on that principle whenever they can get the former/] The total disbursement of gold on ac count of November interest is $1,799,000. Tho silver disbursements by the Treasury are only six hundred dollars. HOW CAPrAIN HALL DIED. I The Poisoning Story a * Supposition Natural.

He said none of the gentle men associated with him on the exami nation believed the contrary, and none of the witnesses credit such a story, and all of them who have been in a condition to know pronounce the story impossible un der the circumstances. “The facts,” said Secretary Robeson, “were as follows: Captain Hall was a man of full habit, a large eater, and sub ject to fits of heavy headache. His life on the Polaris had not been an active one, and he did not have as much exercise as he needed. To relieve his severe head ache, it was his habit to eat large quan tities of raw meat, beef Jbeing his prefer ence. This produced the irritation and stimulation which relieved the vertigo and headache. The Polaris being blocked in and unable to proceed further, her commanders decided on a hazardous and difficult sledge journey.

He slept in the snow and ate the most un- uitable of food. He was often re quired to relieve the dogs by drawing tho sledge himself. Ho returned in five days, having become familiar with the country. During these twelve (lays or two weeks he was exercising violently in .tmosphere twenty-five to thirty deg. below zero and sleeping constantly in his skin cloth©3. Tho ship was covered with canvas, and was surrounded with snow and ice to the depth of many feet, a narrow pathway cut through the hard snow being the only means of reaching the deck. When Captain Hall returned he entered his cabin, eight by fifteen feet, which wa3 wholly without ventila tion and occupied by six other poiwons. This was heated by stovepipe from the GEOR GI*A. made miserable by a Torpid Liver, resorts to s SIGN OF THE GOLDEN HOG.

Take Simmons’ -Liver Regulator, the great family medicine, purely vegetable. It is indeed a marvelous medicine. Simmons’ Liver Regulator OR MEDICINE, THE LOGAN William Allen, the Democratic Gov ernor elect of Ohio, went to that State about 1826, a poor boy. In 1830, he fell love with the daughter of a wealthy old Federalist, but the old man couldn’t think of being his father-in-law.' 1832, the old gentleman was nominated for Congress in a strongly Federal dis trict, but tho youngster, who was only twenty-five, took the stump against him, and fought him. bitterly. Allen was elected by just one majority. But the old man wouldn’t give him the girl. He forced her to marry another man, and Allen had to wait two years, until she be came a widow; but now she is his better- half. • , , -// Accoring to the Detroit Free Press, Henry Clews says that tho present hard times are due to the extravagance of the women. If Henry Clews really says so, the Courier-Journal thinks he ought to kicked to death' for slander. Mrs. Podhammer spends twenty, dollars for a bonnet; whereupon Podhammer gets ma«l at her for her wild and ruinous ex* travagance, and goes with a party of friends to a restaurant that night, os usual, and spends forty dollars for cham pagne, mushrooms and oysters. But Podhammer is very economical. It is his wife who plays the dickens in finance. Antoninus Pius, not the Roman Em peror, but Louisiana’s negro Lieutenant- Governor, evidently appreciates the sit uation. When asked to issue a requisi tion for tyickliffe, the defaulter, Antonias replied * ** W© haye no nse for Wickliffe. We hay© rascals enough here already.” This is an ungrateful remark, considering that the usurping official owes his eleva tion to Casey and company. Gail Hamilton, writing of Biblical men, remarks: “We should say that Esau was far the more agreeable, inter esting and gifted person; and that Jacob, with his sly ways, and his mean-spirited liingness to work seven years longer the man who had cheated him out of one wife, and into another, was not a man to hb held in esteem of gods or men women,” Snow in Virginia.—Travelers arriv ing in Knoxville on Wednesday reported snow as having fallen in Lynchburg, from 10 a. m. on Tuesday until night fall, and that there are five inches of snow on the Alleghanies.

The stand ard has been kept up in every respeot and its intrinsic value has again been demonstrated during the past summer. It is recommended, because: 'It is permanent in its effects in return, ing to the soil tho fertilizing ingredients taken from it by excessive cropping. “It gives to cotton the food necessary to sustain life while fruiting, therefore, what is called rust seldom occurs where this fertilizer is used. It is tho best restorer of worn out lands known to agricultural chemistry. Its effects are immediate in the pro duction of large retnm3 the first season. “It is good for all crops, on any soil, being pure unadulterated plant-food. It.is as.good as the best, and is the least expensive of any known good fertil izer. It is manufactured at the South and almost entirely of Southern material, ‘It utilizes the ammonia found on every farm which is the most expensive part of all complete fertilizers.” We subjoin a few of tile many certifi cates in our possession, as to its value, from well known parties who have used it, and to whom we would refer.
