The Ii'inuncinl Sitimtion.
Every telegram from tho North seems
to complicate the financial situation and*
deepen tho gloom of tho outlook. The
worst and most portentous aspect of the
cose ia presented in the increasing sus
pensions of mills and factories, and the
discharge of hands. If the movement
goes on, at the present rate; the winter
may be inaugurated with two hundred
thousand mechanic and workmen in the
Northern cities out of employment—rep
resenting, perhaps, a million of the pop
ulation in a penniless condition.
Many fear that such a condition of af
fairs must result in tumults, riots and
public disorders of great magnitude and
destructive results. A starving laboring
population in the great cities will be hard
to control, and in the present condition
hard to provide for. We trust thews ap
prehensions will prove groundless, and it
will be found in tbo march of events that
anticipation* have far outrun actual evil,.
It is hard indeed, that, with fair crops and
with really abundant financial resources,
u groundless panic should impose on the
people misfortunes and sufferings prop
erly the results of war or famine.
Musical Talent to tlio Manor

We h»vo received from our popular
young townsman. Arthur L. Wood, E*q.,
x handsomely gotten up piece of mtunc
of his own composition, entitled “Galop

Unfortunately, we arc unable to gallop,
trot, or even walk in that' charming high
way which was trod by Hayden. Mozart,
and thousands of lower lights, who struck
tender chords in the heart* of millions,
as they drew sweetest melody from their
instruments, while journeying upon it.
But we do claim to know when music is
good by the sound, and intend to submit
our friend’* Galop to the arbitrament of
tair and skilled fingers, who, we doubt
not. will bring out *»reiy latent note and
hidden beauty thereef. Mr. Wood al

Captain G. C. Dent, of Floyd county,
but formerly an “old Halt” from the sea

lions of his own, which have attracted
much attention.
One is a self-steeringaparatus for ship*
when under weigh, for which he has ap
plied for letter)* patent, and the other a
steam propulsion contrivance for oanol
boats. Tho farmer is regubtotf and ad
justed by one of tlie sails of the croft,
completely superseding the necessity of a
helmsman, and holding her to her course
in any wind or weather. The design is
simple and commend* itself to favor at
sight. In fierce gale* or when a crew
has been decimated in action or by sick
ness, this discovery may prove tho solva
tion of many a noble vowel.

The Loaiitana Atrocities,
The excitement in Louisiana over the
atrocities of Kellogg’s army is very great.
A public meeting was lieid in Alexandria
on the subject, which passed tho follow
ing among other resolutions:
Whereas, reliable information has
reached us of tlie perpetration in Grant
}*irish of a detestable outrage of rape
upon the persons of two respectable! la
dies, by membes of the New Orleans Met
ropolitan Police, or by negroes who are
emboldened to commit acts of violence
by the presence of that police, and terror
and alarm have been occasioned in the
locality where the crime was committed,
a« also in the surrounding country—
Resolved, That we will first appeal to
the constitut e! authorities of the country,
civil and military, for protection to our
IKJople before consulting or instigating
any extra legal measures, and to this
end a committee of five shall be appoint
ed by the chairman to wait ‘upon the
commanding officer of tlie United States
troops stationed opposite this town, and
solicit his intervention, and the ordering
of a portion of his command to the dis
turbed neighborhood.
Resolved. That we appeal to our fel
low-citizens of this and contiguous par
ishes to curb their indignation, justly
aroused by this outrage, and to restrain
themselves within the bounds of law
while the authorities to whom we appeal
are vindicating our right to protection,
or shall have refused to do it.
Resolved. That we are folly sensible of
the violation of law by wlioever dis
patched the police of New Orleans sev
eral hundred miles in the interior of the
State, ostensibly to assist the deputy
United States Marshal in the exec itios*
of process; and we have mot failed to
discern tho real purpose of this State
military and naval expedition to be the
hope and expectation tnat some tumult
might be raised by our people, of which
political capital might be made to our
disadvantage—a hope we intend to dis
appoint.
Resolved, Tint the prosonce of thb
police force from Now Orleans has pro
duced. and ia now producing, injurious
effects on a portion of the population of
Grant and Adjoining parishes. Bad ne
groes commit crimes, assured in their
owp belief of immunity from punishment
by the pfesence of theio uniformed men.
but it is due to the negroes, whom we
have no desire to harm, to know, and due
to ourselves to say. that we understand
the government under which we live is for
the protection of the white people as
well as the black, that the white people
have at least as many rights as the
black and all have the same duty of
obedience to law to observe, and if those
having or claiming authority do not dis
pense equal justice to both races, we
aha)) take care of ourselves and of those
to whom we owe protection.
The Koine Commercial,
We have the following circular from
the office of the Rome Daily Commercial,
which explain* itself:.
To Brtikrm of fJU Proto:
There is no person of the name of
“Macon” connected with the Rome Daily
Commercial, nor has that paper suspend

by the Columbus Enquirer. Whenever
we conclude to take so yrorc a step as to
die, we will give timely notice of the dr-
cunutanoe* and place of funeral—until
o submit that premature obituary

Tnx Houston Ilopie Journal say* a

not mortal wound.
The same paper has the following:
Macon Banks Suspended.—The Ma
con bank*, except tlie City Bank, have
j closed during the fair. It may look like
‘ a good excuse to some, but it seems
rather thin to u.h, especially after they
lad been bragging so oxer their sound
ness.
The Macon bank* did not “ close
during the fair.” They were open every
«lay for the transaction of business until
one o’clock, due notice of which was
given beforehand. The caption of the
paragraph and tho general tinge of un
friendliness pervading it, suggests that
somebody about the Journal office has
been unsuccessful in a financial interview
with some of these “ suspended ” bank*.
Tiie Constitution of yesterday has tho
following:

that a raid haa been made upon several
churches. The clock in the Central
Presbyterian Church was not long since
stolen. The Pastor’s study in the First
Baptist Church was also recently entered
anu a fine mirror, gold pen. table cover
and organ cover taken. At the Second

self with a silver pitcher from the com

mont’is with tluit fell disease, and vainly
tried every mean* for relief. Mr. Burns
no ordinary man, as all who knew him
as editor of the* Herald will testify. By
perseverance, discretion and industry, he
built that paper up to a fine influence. But
disease forced him from a position in
which he would have won distinction.

We find the following in the Savannah

As stated in our special telegram in
Saturday’s issue, the Atlanta Cadets,
Governor’s Guard* and Savannah Cadet*
having drilled on Friday, there were two
companies—tlie Georgia Zouaves, of At
lanta, and the Macon Volunteers—to
dose the contest- Accordingly, at the
sound of the bugle, the Georgia Zouave*
marched upon the parade ground and
took their position. Thi* company is
uniformed similarly to our Phoeuix Rifle
men, but its maUrud is not of as g-jod
quality. The Atlantian* seemed to ex
pect a great deal from the Zouaves, as
they had evinced great efficiency at home,
but from some cause they did not come
up to the mark. After the expiration of
the time allott**!—forty minutes—the re
call was sounded and the Zcuavee re
tired to give place to the next com
petitors, the old veteran organization,
the Macon Volunteers, a company which
achieved an honorable name for gallantry

last year. The amount involved is up
ward of $1,000,000, the former award
being about $900,000. At least one-third
of the claim* have been disallowed, owing
to the law which require* proof of con

mission fonryear* from the 10th af March
hut, but prohibited any further petition.*
from being presented and filed, declaring
all claims not presented before that
time shall be deebaed to be barred

j From tho X.*\v Ork- ms ll.-rJkl.]
| On Monday evening, October 27th,
about dark, the steamer Frank Pargoud
was attacked at Goodrich’s Landing by
I between fifty and sixty colored men who.
but for t!i-- coolness of Captain White
and his officers, would have taken pos
session of the boat, as they had hereto
fore threatened to do by resolutions
adopted iu public meetings. The trouble
arises from the vexed question of Uto
pian social equality, and is related as fol
lows :
Tho Pargoud was on her down trip to
New Orleans, and, as usual, stopped at
Goodrich's Landing—which is on. the
Louisiana side of the river, about thirty-
live miles above Vicksburg—for the pur
pose of taking freight on board and sign
ing bills of lading. Suddenly, ami with
out previous warning, tho Pargoud Va*
boarded
by fifty or sixty colored men, led by Cain
Sartain, a member of the Kellogg House
of Representatives, from Carroll parish
Davis Jackson, clerk of the court of the
parish ; Budd Smith, and other noted
char icters of the locality.
Entering the cabin in a be: terousman
ner, they were aligned by l loir le
vrL&demanded that th.-y ; .-.u:ld be fur
nished with drink^. Ca t u Wh’t \ who
wsvs lying ill in hisstat .oum,caun. 'own
at this juncture to cc w’umt the rioters,
and met Cain Sartain, v. d.. v v:u he had
a discussion. Cain ass -.i .« mat he was
a member of the Legislature tliat made
laws governing steamboats, and claimed
that he' had a right to drink on board the
boat, on the grounds of
SOCIAL EQUALITY,
besides making threats against tlie cap
tain and his officers for refusing to serv
him at the bar, which but for timely ar
rival of Captain White would have been
seized by the rioters, they having, in fact,
made demonstrations to that effect. Cap
tain White
STOOD HIS GROUND,
manfully, and told Sartain that there was
higher authority which governed steam
boats than hi* Legislature, and finally
ordered them off the Pargoud. Sartain
heeded the warning reluctantly, but re-
tird with his crowd, but to attack the
mate, Mr. Cummings, and the crew of the
boat ou the lauding, where they were at
tending to some freight. Mr. Cummings
was several time* surrounded by the
rioters, who vociferated anathemas at his
head and
THREATENED HIS LIFE.
Fortunately, the. crow of the Pargoud,
which was large, resolved to stand by
their officers, and Mr. Cummings was
rescued from liis perilous position. Mean
while, Cain Sartain had dispatched n
messenger on korso kick with the order
to go to a neighboring plantation to sum
mon the colored men to the landing,
with instructions to bring their guns
with them, because they were to have a
fight with the boat. Before the messen
ger could return, however, tho Pargoud
backed from the landing, to the great dis
appointment of the rioters, who began a
promiscuous discharge of pistols and re
volvers, firing about
ONE HUNDRED 8UOTS
at tho boat, luckily, however, without in
juring anybody, tho steamer lx?ing well
uippUod with cotton bales, which afford
ed excellent shelter from tho projectiles.
To-day Captain White and Mr. Cum
mings, his mate, intend to place the mat-
MIDXIGUT DISPATCHES.
ter before the United States Commis
sioner, charging
CAIN ARTAIN
and tlie other lender* of the riot with as
sault upon his ste:. ier. From the ofli-
of the Pargoud wo learn that, should
tins individual and his follower* be to'er-
a ted in the course they have, for a Ion/
time, threatened to pursue, and began to
put into operation on Monday, it will be
impossible "hereafter to land at Goodrich
Landing.
They »:v further that there are a great
many good colored men in the neighbor
hood with whom the boat* traffic, who
felt indignant at the proceedings of Siir-
tain and his marauder*, and condemn the
inflammatory meeting* which have been
recently held at the binding. The blow
to commerce is incalculable, and strikes
the colored people a* severely as the
white*, and the sooner the authorities
shall interpose their power in tho, mat
ter the better.

The California and Texas Construc
tion Couipanj •
New Yobk. November 4.—A Into edi
tion of the Evening Telegram says there
were rumors on the street this afternoon,
that the California and Texas Conitruc-
tion Company, which is engaged in build
ing, by contract, the bridges of the Texas
Pacific Railroad Company, was embar
rassed. On inquiry in official circle*,
the following statement of the case was
obtained: The California and Texas Con
struction Company was unable to moot
all its paper maturing to-day. The pres
ent financial condition of the country ha3
rendered it impossible for the company to
realize ready cash on its assets, although
they are very largely in excess of it* lia
bilities. It is hoped that an improve
ment of the financial condition of the
country will speedily bring about restora
tion of crafidence and the construction of
the line. The Texas ani California Con
struction Company could not meet heavy
maturing obligation* to-day, and over
$300,000 of its paper, most of it indorsed
by prominent stock holderwent to pro
test.
This amount, with over four million dol
lar* of cash paid in on tlie stock of the
Construction Company, has been expend
ed under careful management in the con
struction of the Texas Pacific Railroad,
and there are 300 miles of road comple
ted, equipped and in operation, and abofit
150 miles additional graded, bridged and
ready for the iron. ' » _•
The liabilities of the company are re
ported at $4,500,00O in notes, variously
indorsed, all maturing within 90 days, I ■ . -
$1,600,000, of )oan* on collaterals and in
dividual security, $600,000 of unsecured
oldig^tions.in the shape of draft*, $250,-
Orfc-of floating debt, amounting tu $77-
000,000.
• 'The resources of the - Construction
Company consist of $35,000 per mile of
completed rood of first mortgage bonds
of the railroad company, secured by lien
on the railroad, its equipment, franenises,
and a thousand acres of land per mile
granted by'the State of Ten*; two mil
lions 6f unpaid construction stocly. tuu^t
of which will be promptly paid, and pri-
.vate property of individual indorsers,
which is very large.
It is believed that creditors, most of
whom bold large amount-, will speedily
arrange for extension of liabilities of the
company so a* to give them time to realize
money without the ruinous sacrifice 4 re
