NOTED VISITORS FROM ABROAD.
Conspicuous among these were the
member* of the Centennial Committee,
led by ex-Mayor Fox of Philadelphia, and
that accomplished diplomat, Hon. James
H. Campbell, late charge <T afairf.U) the
nourtof Sweden and Norway. Among
their number also were General Norton
and J. H. Zeilin. Esq, both former citi
zens of Macon. These gentlemen all
made the finest impression upon our
■ ommunity. and were received and enter-
taioed with distinguished courtesy. Their
mission among ns was in the interest of
peace and harmony. They came to re
vive the slumbering spirit of 1770 in our
hearts, and reonll the traditions and
glories of anhoi.ored aneo»t y, and tho
purer days of the Republic. That grand
celebration of the nation’s birth, it is to
be hoped will form a new departure in
its future history. It is wholly and ab
solutely disconnected with politics.

The ceremonies will take place in Inde-

upied by the signer* of th» “declara

In connection with thia great event
which will culminate on the 4tli of July,
1876, a grand National Exposition of the
arts and sciences, and the material pro
ducts of the vast territory embraced in
the Union, will be held, commencing on
the 18th of February of that year, and
continuing until near the close of Octo
ber. It will indeed be a World's Fair.
Applications for space in the building,
which wiU cover forty octet of ground

Georgia turned out in strength to do
honor to this glorious display of the re
sources of the Empire State. Through
their notent agency its fame will be
noised abroad to her remotest confines,
and. wo trust, open the hearts of the
legislator* soon to assemble at the Cap
ital, to grant material Aid to the State
'Agricultural Society. Gov. Smith, it is
understood, put himself on record lost
week, os in favor of an annual appropri
ation of twenty thousand dollars for this
laudable purpose, and surely, no dona
tion would more effectually permeate all
ranks of society, and give a healthy im-
potae to every department of commerce,
manufactures and agriculture. Liberal
ity in this respect is sound economy ; for
the appropriation will be repaid fourfold
tho increase of the taxable Tallies of
the State. But enough of this for the
present.
Bibb County Forever.
Mr. W. S. Brantley had on exhibition
at tho Fair, a wagon load of champion
vegetables, which somehow or other es
caped the notice of the judges. As a
sample of tho lot, may be instanced a
magnificent assortment of turnips of sev
eral varieties, raised from imported seed,
which oven Old England would find it
difficult to beat.
From a single acre, this gentleman has
raised the present season 3,300 pounds of
turnip tuber*. Another patch of similar
size has yielded in cask erer seventy doUart,
and yet the turnips can hardly be missed
frffm it. InjSr* weeks after sowing, the
market stalls were supplied with bis
young turnips- Now. this is a matter to
be justly proud of, premium or no pre

have found this oat. Hence the increased

It will be seen by a notice published in

of the State Grange, that a mass meet

and mechanical fair, to demonstrate be
yond dispute the capacity of her people
provide for themselves.
] low far the financial raooets of the
Fair is due to means which must rtoeive
the unqualified censure of Christian peo
ple, we are unprepared to say; but we
conclude that such means were regarded
indispensable to success, os they have
been employed to perhaps an unprece
dented extent, and in seeming disregard
or ignorance of all adverse moral senti
ment. Not only has horse-racing, ac
cording to the regular gambling role of
the turf, constituted a prominent feature
of the occasion; not only has the circus,
with its pestilential brood of “aide shows,"
been taken under the patronage of the
Fair by being admitted upon the
grounds within the enclosure; but
' k facilities for the lower forms
_ gambling, we are informed, ore
anblushingly paraded in various ports of
the park, not only without rebuke from
the authorities, but with licenses for
which the proprietor* have paid roundly.
Success by such means is a public disas
ter; and heartily as we sympathize with
tho material prosperity of the State, Ve
would tar rather record the utter failure
of a legitimate Agricultural and Mechan
ical Fair, tbs" the brilliant success of
such an iniquitous combination. The
anticipated stimulus to agricultural and
mechanical enterprise will prove a mea
gre compensation to the State for the
encouragement which is given to gam
bling. with its concomitant vices.
We take no pleasure in thus criticising
i enterprise, which is the theme of
almost universal eulogy, but we feel that
we would bo recreant to the claims of our
position if we taile-1 to record our con
demnation of the shameful features
which disfigure this otherwise splendid
and praiseworthy display. We cordially
desire the highest prosperity to Georgia
and tho city of Macon, bnt wo are fully
oatie&od that the material prosperity of
no community or State can De perma

and B. reoeived the funds and left for
ports unknown. Bnt the young man was

take not. Mr. C. A. J. Pope, the Sheriff

Kosolred Si. Tbit we do earnestly re

Affairs in the Alabarm.
The Selma Times states that a hegira
of negroes from that portion of Alabama
has commenced. It is thought the al
most total failure of the crops is the
/»n«i> of this movement. These negroes
are migrating to the Mississippi bottom.
The Times can see no way by which they
could live if they remain in Alabama, and
it therefore rejoices that the exodus has
commenced.
In like manner, the Haynerille Exam
iner rejoices in the midst of poverty and
starvation-crop*, in the possibility of
deliverance from the curse of negro poli
tics by a negro emigration enforced by
the scarcity of food. He saya:
In Florida a considerable demand ex
ists for laborers in the lumber business.
In Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas good
hand* command $15 a month and rations,
and planters are now writing to Alabama,
uid advancing them transportation for
themselves and families. Many families
have already gone from lovndes, Dallas,
Marengo and Sumter, and I am satisfied
that full 40 per cent, will all go in the
course of a year or two. With half of
l»nd now cultivated in cotton, from
Eufaula west to the Mississippi line, in
corn and oats or pasturage, and half the
negroes on their westward way, what a
glorious prospect of the riddance of the
eril of having taxes imposed, collected
and squandered by those who pay none
The White Man’s Government will
then become a certainty. He can then
invite immigration, for he can then offer
the security of good government; and
without this it is idle to ask any one to
come to us. We had as well ask sensible
men to go to Timbuctoo. .
The Examiner gives a doleful report of
crops in the Black Belt of Alabama. He
says not h«.lf the corn product of last
year was made. The creek bottom and
lowland crops have been almost a total
failure, and planters in some instances did
not reap twenty-five per cent, of the corn
consumed in the planting. The success-
failuies of crops h;ivg reduced the
means and credit of planters so low that
forty per cent, of the labor employed last
year must be abandoned.
We are sorry to see prospects so gloomy
with our sister State; but the native
wealth of Alabama, will, in the end, tram
ple over all obstacles. Her mines and
manufactures will give her, in time, a
safe voting population, and a Government
under which order, security and pros
perity will bo possible.
The Southern Historical So
ciety.
The Richmond Dispatch says the Ex
ecutive Committee of this Society at a
meeting held on Saturday made arrange
ments to actively push their important
work. They have been very fortunate in
securing General Wade Hampton to en

tending the membership of the Society
and collecting material for its archives.
They are arrangeing with some of the
ablest uicaa «1m figured in the council
chamber, the Cabinet, and the armies of

ern Magaxine, the organ of the Society,
papers bearing on the civil and military
history of the great struggle, thus bring

unknown or are forgotten, and making
most important contributions to the truth
of history. They have also arranged to
have in Richmond during the coming
winter a aeries of popular (free) lectures
by some of tho most distinguished men

federate history. And they are making
earnest appeals to all interested to help
on the good work by contributing such
material as they may have or can secure.
FRIDAY MORNING,
BY TELEGRAPH
Tho Stokes Verdict
The Chicago Tribune expresses onr
own opinion so dearly and fully of tho
murder of Fisk and the consequent dis
graceful verdict by which the murderer
escapes the gallows, that we make room
for it. It says
There has hardly been a murder com-
mittod in this country which was so bar
ren of extenuating circumstances as tho
murder of Fisk by this man Stokes. It
was a mean and cowardly murder; it was
a deliberate and premeditated murder.
Since the murder of Abel by Cain there
has been no killing more deliberately
planned or more coolly executed. There
was nothing to lift this man Stofes
above the level of his victim; there was
nothing in Stokes’ relations to tho wo
man Mansfield that was calculated to lift
him above the level of any other liber
tine quarreling over the hire of his mis
tress. Of tho three (Fisk, Stokes, and
Mansfield), Fisk was, in every sense,
the superior; he was unscrupulous,
vain, and conceived; they were mean,
sordid, cowardly, and murderous. Fisk
was a good-natured reprobate; the others
were professors of the panel game. The
male prostitute at least murdered the
man who refused to be any longer plucked;
hud in wait for him. and shot him down
deliberately, maliciously, and cowardly.
This has been throe times tried.
Twice, after the most vigorous efforts of
able counsel, and with all the aid *hat
the lavish expenditure of money could
purchase, he was convicted of murder
nnH sentenced to be hanged. Twice by
the same means did he escape death, on
the plea of informality in the proceedings
of the trial. We have now the result of
the third trial, and it is simply disgrace
ful to the execution of the laws, and the
greatest disgrace that has yet been given
to the jury system.
A His^racelul "Will Case,
Some time last year a Dr. Aulick, of
'Washington City, son of Commodore
Aulick, of the Federal navy, died very
suddenly in that city, and it was found
after his death that he had left all of his
property to hi, wife, a clerk in the Treas
ury. to whom he hod been secretly mar
ried. The other heirs now have entered
suit against the ton’s zhare of the estate,
attempting to recover various sums charg
ed to the dead son from the time of his
majority to his death. Among these
items ore board for nine years and ten
months, $9,000; office rent in the resi
dence, $1,700; nursing him while sick,
medicine* and college expense, a thou-
more. The Northern newspaper*
refer to this ease as “sensational,” but to
our mind the word disgraceful applies
much better.

ent works, and probably other manufac
turing property, and pledging them ut
most efforts to that end. A committee of
five from the meeting was appointed to
confer with the Spragues.
Thurston, attorney for the Spragues,
stated that the Spragues’ whole object
was that the property should be devoted
to the payment of their debts, and that
the trustees to be appointed should be
friendly to the house only so far as that
after the debts are paid the property shall
not be dissipated. It was important that

committee.

The Tennessee Railroad Trouble.

freight cars from Knoxville to Bristol to
day, being the first freight moved on the
line from Bristol to Chattanooga, 242
miles, in six days. The company stall
refuses to receive freight. The strikers
made no attempt to stop the train, bnt
sent a committee of their men on the
engine to prevent the company’s master
mechanic, who was acting engineer, from
placing any non-society engineer in
charge of tho engine. The mail trains
run regularly. The men are quiet, but
determined.' The company is firm. The
directors met this evening ana adopted
unanimously the following resolutions;
Resolved by board of directors of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad. That the order promulgated by
Capt. Jaques, superintendent and vice
president, dated October 30th, reducing
salaries and wages of officers and employes
of this company, was imperatively re
quired in view of the greatly reduced in
come received, as explained in said order,
and we cordially and unanimously ap
prove the same. , , ,, ...
Eesolvbd, We claim, in behalf of the
superintendent and vice president, tho
right to regulate the wages of his ap
pointees and subordinates, conceding a
full and perfect right to the emplycs to
accept or decline the terms proposed.
The Knoxville and Ohio railroad em
ployes having struck against a reduction
of ia-es the company has temporarily
stopped all trains. Representative* of
twenty Southern railroads met in Chat
tanooga and unanimously adopted reso
lution affirming the justice of any reason
able reduction of wages by commute;,
recognizing tho right of any employe to
refuse work at the wages offered; con-
demning gtringost terms as unjustifiable
and indefensible; that all the combina
tions, which purpose resisting the right
ful authority of any company by interfer
ing with or attempting to intimidate, or
injure otherwise those willing to work at
wages offered, pledging each other in no
case to employ any one discharged on
account of insubordination or combina
tion to stop operations on any road by
intimidation or interference with others
willing to work, and to promptly
inform each other by printed
circular, of all such combinations,
with the names of parties engaged.

London, November C.—Mr. Hawkins
to-day applied to the Queen’s Bench lor
an extension of time for further hearing

was granted.
Capture or the Ylrgiulus.
"Washington, November 6.—Little is
known in official quarters concerning the
circumstances of the capture of the Ylr-
ginius by the Spanish man-of-war Tor
nado, and therefore the course of the
Administration is not*yCt defined. Fur
ther information is awaited from out
Consul at Santiago, who will a :t in con
junction with the Consul General at Ha
vana, under instructions of the Department
of State. It will be recollected that within
the past two years this vessel was pro
tected in several foreign ports from the
designs of Spanish men-of-war and con
veyed to sea on the ground that her pa
pers, as an American steamer, were ■ in
perfect and legal order. It was main
tained by our Minister resident at Co
lombia, while the Virgimus was lying at
the port of Colon, and was menaced by
the Pixzaro, that the only tangible mat
ter capable of proof appeared to be that
she ran. the blockade . of Cuba with an
armed party of Cuban revolutionists and
a cargo of munitions, proceeding from
some port in Venezuela, and makinsr ! ■
landing in the Eastern Department cf
Cuba. • j
This was about twenty months ago.
and the act has since been repeated by
that vessel, the law, as he understood it,
to be that although the ship during such
voyage was liable to capture and could
and would not be reclaimed by the United
States, such liability ceased when the
unlawful voyage was • completed and no
taint was attached to the ship, which
would in any way justify a forcible seiz
ure and detention by Spanish • Cruisers in
that state of affairs, if the ship pre
sented herself in a neutral port with her
papers in regular form it could not be
permitted that she should be captured in
such neutral waters or on the high seas;
for a past act of blockade-running he, did
not admit to be an offense against the
neutrality laws of the United States, to
charter a steamer for the purpose
named from Venezuela to Cuba, it cer
tainly was not an offense for which Spain
was entitled to capture the steamer, ex
cept in the act. It does not apear from
the diplomatic correspondence that our
Government dissented from these views,
and it is therefore probable that they
will govern in the present case, and care
will be taken to be satisfied on all the
points now envolved, the subject being
one which excites the closest interest.
The Spragues.
Providence, November G.—The meet
ing of the Sprague creditors reassembled
this afternoon, when the committee ap
pointed in the morning reported that
they had held a long interview with the
Messrs. Sprague and Hoyt. The latter
expressed every desire to give all power
to the trustees to meet the views of the
creditors, and said the deed to bo given
tho creditors should be submitted to the
legal advisers of the creditors. The com
mittee had adopted a resolution that the
plan proposed was the best that could be
devised for the conversion of the proper
ty and payment of the debts., ^he com
mittee suggested that Rufus Waterman,
Amos D. Lockwood and Georg** C. Myhl-
engall be appointed trustees; that they
have power to employ counsel to draw up
a deed for the protection of creditors;
also to fill any vacancy in the board.
O’Howard, of the committee, made a
few remarks attesting to tho willingness
of the Spragues to do all in their power
for the creditors, and said that the sur
render of the property to the control of
the creditors was absolute and complete.
The report of the committee was adopted,
and a board of trustees appointed. The
committee was continued and given full
wers, when the meeting adjourned,
io result of the meeting ia regarded as
encouraging.
The Stokes Trial Corruptions.

mercial says it is reported that the grand

with evidence .showing that two or more
