Affairs demanding that Captain-General

to a straggle—not particularly perilous,
it is true, but still protracted, vexatious
and expensive. Spain has on old trick of
refusing to come to terms, and of keep
ing a controversy almost interminably in
a dead and live condition which ia har-
rassing and costly to any power at war
with her.
We trust in tho chapter of accidents
something may turn up to provent a war
with Spain in this cose, and the begin
ning of an endless series of West Indian
annexations or protectorates—with more
incongruous, hybrid and impracticable
populations to toko care of. There is
more Africanism than can bo safely
carried in the United States already, and
it is going to bo an increasingly distract
ing, debasing, troublesome and danger
ous clomcnt in our citixcnship, without
adding tho millions of negroes in the
West Indies.
New Constitution for Georgia.
Judge A. It. Wright, of Floyd, in a
paragraph to lie found in " tho Georgia
Press” present some very cogent rea
sons in favor of the formation of a new
State Constitution for Georgia as soon as
practicable. The movement looking to
this end should bo cautiously initiated,
so as to avoid failure, which would result
in very mischievous delay, but wo ought
to make it just as soon os wo can with
safety.
As matters stand the solvency of the
State—oar escape from bankruptcy or
ruinous taxation rests alone on tko chap
ter of accidents and contingAcies. So
long as the peoplo can maintain a Legis
lature representing and responsible to the
tax-payers, wo can probably keep afloat;
but if we fail oTen one time, and n ma-
nority of negroes and their white fugle
men get possession, fatal mischief may
well be done. Ten or fifteen millions
n.ay bo added to the public debt, and
probably would bo, in the creation of now
and recognition of old fraudulent bonds.
To prevent this nnu give the people ro-
poso and security the power of tho Leg
islature to plunge tho people in debt
ought to be carefully restricted by tho
fundamental law.
And it is quite as important, too, to
restrain county and municipal govern
ments to tho strictly legitimate business
of thoso local governments. Indeed, the
power to issuo bonds for any purposo ex
cept in tho adjustment and liquidation
of aocrued debts, ought to bo denied.
Why ? Because we ore in no condition to
uso that power wisely. Almost every
county in tho State, on a bond question,
is substantially in the hands of voters
who pay no property tax and have little
permanent interest in tho soil. A bond-
issuing administration famishes labor,
wastage and stealage, which non-tax-pay
ing voters have no pecuniary interest in
preventing; but, on the contrary, are
frequently induced to believe that they
have a personal interest in promoting.
This largo class, led by active fugle
men from white politicians on the make,
■will scarcely fail to procure a ballot-bpx
respOnso of ‘‘yea’’ to ovary proposition to
increase a county or a city debt, and
therefore tho constitution should permit
neither county nor city to go in debt. It
should demand of them to square their
annual expenses by their annual income,
and meet emergencies by special tax, in
stead of by selling bonds at a heavy dis
count in order to mortgage the property
of the peoplo to tho amount of ten dol
lars principal and interest for every ono
of cash borrowed.
If the people of the towns and cities
fail to protect themselves by wise funda
mental law, they may be ground to dust
by taxation and finally sold out by the
sheriff. Every piece of property, public
or private, in a municipal corporation, is
os strictly liable for these public debts
as for any private debts, and hence the
people can no longer repose in safety with
their homesteads subject to indefinite
mortgage by voters who hold no property
liable to execution.
These are vital considerations, demand-
deavoring to arrest the negro Aleck Alien,
who killed Mr. George, near Stoekbridge,
lost week.
Sxtxbal Covington merchants speak
of closing out their business, and moving
themselves and families to a more pros

A Fbesh Water Baptism—Not more
than a hundred miles from here is a large
canal in which the sacrament of baptism
has been administered from time imme
morial. Just after the close of the late
war a colored woman having received
baptism at this place, and walking up
out of tho water stood on the margin.
Looking down tho canal she raised both
hands and exclaimed, “Free from sin and
free from alabery, bress God and Ginral
Grant; I tink I see Mass Jesus walk pun
top de water.” An old colored friend
standing near her looked over hcrshoulder
in the same direction and said in a stern
manner: "Ki, Tilla, dat cootah.”

The Petuvied Sxei-etowopa Human
Beiito Found Under an Old Stump in
a Swamp.—On Friday last, while a col
ored man named Adam Nelson was dig
ging up a large lightwood stump in what
is known a* DeLaigle’s swamp, about
tbreo miles from the city, he suddenly
perceived in the hole he had dug what
was apparently a human hand. Although
for the moment almost paralyzed by the
discovery, he soon stooped down and
picked up the thing. His first impres
sion was correct. It was most certainly
a human hand.but completely petrified and
as hard as adamant. After gazing at the
singular affair for a few minutes. Nelson
came to the conclusion that the body to
which the hand belonged must be
buried under the resinous roots of the
huge stump. He therefore set to work,
and in a short time had tho last portion
of what was once a mighty monarch of
the forest on the surface of tho ground.’
3V1i.it nn object then met his eager gaxe!
In tho bottom of the hole was lying, in a
somowliat cramped position, the entire
body of a man with the exception of the
hand previously found. The whole figuro
was petrified like the hand, and had the
appearance of a stone imago. The skull
was cleft in twain almost to the neck,
and near by was lving a heavy stone
hatchet which had evidently been used to
do the deadly work. The negro carefully
raised tho figure from the hole, and car
ried it, together with the hand and hatchet
to his cabin near tbo Savannah road. He
says he intends to sell them to some
museum if tho authorities have no objec
tion.
Two negro children, aged three and
two years, respectively, were burned to
death on the Sand Hills, near Augusta,
Saturday morning. It is tho same old
story. They were left alone in the bouse
by their mother, and, together with tho
house, were entirely consumed.
General Toombs on the Financial
Policy op the Government.—A Wash
ington correspondent of the Augusta
Constitutionalist furnishes that paper
with a synopsis of General Toombs’ late
speech during Wilkes court, from which
we extract the following well-aimed
broadside:
The speaker femarked of the financial
policy of the Federal Government that it
was rotten, and fnll of evil, and evil only ,-
that the Government had usurped all Uio
banking privileges of the country, in the
previous enjoyment of which the people
of the United States had grown to be
prosperous, happy and great. Under the
present system of banking privileges and
prohibitions, corrupt Federal officials
,ve i$ in fhejr power to manipulate the
Government currency as often as the
speculative impulses of their base hearts
may prompt them to conspire with the
plundering money -changers of the land,
in creating financial panics for the pur
pose of involving all in one common dis
aster, that they may build up colossal for
tunes upon the ruins of commerce and
the misfortunes of the people. The cur
rency of the Government could not be
forced beyond a marine league from tho
American shore. It had no recognized
value as the basis of a circulating medium
among the nations of tho earth. It had
upon its face tho stamp of coercion, ut
tering wherever seen thff declarations of
its inherent weakness. Its purchasing
power is deriTod from arbitrary law with
out which it would not be worth the pa
per now carrying its false assertions of
value to every hamlet and fireside
throughout this bread land. The plan
ters of the South are forced to buy their

Tlic True Xcanlng of Sheriffs’ Sales
—How to Destroy the Credit of a
Community and Injure tbe Value
of Ileal Estate.
Not unfrequently we see it announced
in the'newspapers that large possessions
of land, houses, etc., havo been knocked
off at auction for a mere song, and this
fact is used to point sensational articles
as to the unhappy condition of the coun
try and its gloomy prospects for tho fu
ture.
It is true that the financial outlook is
not very promising at present, hut these
sheriffs' sales, in the majority of instances,
furnish no reliable criteria os to the value
of property.
They are often made merely to perfect
titles, or to ratify and confirm amicable
adjustments in the division and distribu
tion of estates. Again, property thus
disposed of at a nominal price, is very
generally the subject of dispute, and is
sold with all the accruing legal incum
brances. No one likes to buy a law suit
which may eat up hfo purchase and im
poverish him in the bargain, henee bid.
ders hold off. Or perhaps it is openly
proclaimed that the property will be pur
chased for some orphan or widow, who
has an interest in the sale, and humanity
and kind feeling prevent tho usual com
petition from outsiders.
All these causes conspire to moke the
extremely low figures occasionally quoted
as ruling at theso auction sales no stand
ard whatever as to the real value of
property. Thus we published an account
a few days since in this paper of the sale
of a valuable plantation, containing 900
acres and two good dwellings; ip Ran
dolph county, for the absurd price of
three hundred dollars. Recent personal
investigation revealed the fact that a
claim for alimony hung over the prem
ises, and the public were duly admonished
at the sale that the title of the purchaser
would be resisted before the courts.
Moreover those who bought the property
openly boast that though they paid but
thirty-three cents per acre for it, they
would not sell at less than five dollars per
acre.
1$ is easy to see that such reports of
bona fide soles ip any community, must
fond directly to impair the credit of plan
ters and merchants, apd lower the mar
ket value of all property.
Hence wo caution our readers to re
ceive cvm grano salis all accounts of
sheriff sales and public auctions, where
the conditions of every transaction are
not also made to appear,
Eufaula Correspondence.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: One
of the most violent and destructive storms
of wind, rain and haul that has visited
this section in many years, occurred last
night, ICtb, between the hours of nine
and eleven o’clock. About half past nine,
a heavy cloud with vivid flashes of light
ning came up from the northwest, and
when it got directly over this city, it dis
charged a tremendous quantity of rain
and hail, and occasional thunderbolts that
jarred the very earth. The window glass
in the city suffered extensively from the
hail, and the streets were washed badly
all over town. In about one hour after
this storm opened, and just before it
ceased, another and a more fearful one
came thundering along in its pathway.
It was this last storm that did the great
est damage. It blew almost a hurricane
for the spaoe of five or ton minutes, and
before its fury nearly every house in the
city suffered more or less. The tin roof
ing on the whole scSthern side of the
Chattahoochee warehouse was blown off
and hurled across tho street into the
yard of a neighboring residence.
The Planter’s Warehouse of L. F.
Johnston A Cq. was also unroofed on the
northwest corner, and nearly all pf the
south side. Qat-hpiises, fcncipg,' chim--
neys, sign-boards, etc., were blown down
in all directions, and lie city this morn
ing looks ragged enough, I can tell you.
I write hurriedly to inform you of the
storm, but not to give details, as the mail
will close ia a few minutes, and I will not
have time. E. D. 8,

The last cotton circular issued by Nor

of private capitalists to such an extent
during the next sixty days as to became
a drug and go begging for investment.
The stoppage of business to so large an
extent will necessarily produce this re

grow tired of receiving no incomes, and
the whole machinery of trade and manu-

of money. Our American spinners, by
their temporary stoppage, will greatly

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
The Tirginius Imbroglio.
' Washington, November 17.—There
were but few visitors at the executive
mansion to-day, nearly all of whom were
admitted to audience with tho President.
Secretary Fish, who brought his port
folio of documents on the Cuban ques
tion, was closeted with him for an hour,
and explained the present state of the
correspondence with the Spanish Govern
ment, which the President subsequently
said to the writer of this article, it would
now be improper to make public, because
only these were diplomatic usages and
courtesies which it was necessity to ob
serve pending the controversy, but in due
time the result would be announced.
This Government hail thus far acted
on such facts n3 had reached it; and was
engaged in collecting from all available
sources further information concerning
the rapture of the Virginius and the par
ticulars attending the revolting execu
tions which followed that event. It was
desirable that all information should be
of such a character as would leave no
doubt whatever a3 to its reliability.
The propriety of this course was too evi
dent to require explanation—the Govern
ment being careful in what it is now do
ing and what it may hereafter do, to act
upon facts and not upon assumption of
unconfirmed reports. It was essential
that we should be prepared to maintain
our position.
The President said he had changed
none of the views heretofore expressed by
him concerning events in Cuba, but had
more than ever been confirmed in them
by recent occurrences. Hosimred with
the peoplo the denunciation of the cap
ture on the high *eas of a vessel sailing
with regular clearance under the United
States flag, and tho startling’ evente
which so quickly followed. Spain never
haring considered the island of Cuba in
a state of war, and there being no proc
lamation by the United States according
belligerent rights to the insurgents, and
the Virginius having regularly cleared
for the island of Cuba had a right to en
ter Havana or any other port of the
Spanish possessions. This Government
did not recognise any right on the part
of Spain, in the present state of affairs,
to interfere in any manner with our mer
chant ships upon the seas, except in the
usual right, in her own ports and within
one marine league of tho coast of an£ of
her dominions, and of this fact she i3
aware, as a matter of course.
It is the determination of this Govern
ment to protect our citizens in all their
rights, and to eompell respect to the flag.
The present naval preparations were with
the view, not to initiate war by the Presi
dent, that power being vested in Congress,
but to he prepared for all possible contin
gencies. Congress would meet in two
weeks from to-day, when everything in
possession of the Executive Department
relative to Cuban affairs would be laid
before that Body, with such recommenda
tions as the occasion might demand.
The President’s Forthcoming Mesr
spge,
To-morrow, ho said, he would com
mence the preparation of his message,
but would defer that part relating to Cu
ban affairs until within a day or two of
the meeting of Congress, desiring first to
obtain all possible information npon tho
subject.
During tho brief conversation tho Pres
ident said he should, in his message,
again recommend legislation on Utah
affairs in order to relieve judicial matters
in that Territory from present embarrass
ment.
He would, in calling attention to
financial subject*, submit a plan not yet
fully matured, rendering the currency
more flexible and preventing it, if possi
ble, from being used as recently, for
no daub

Tite Industrial Crisis.
From tho New York World.]
The country suddenly awakens to the
disagreeable fact that the revenue of
1773-4 and the expenditure already rated
are not likely to balance, Next we find
that pot only reduction ip the price of
labor is made and cheerfully submitted
to, but the actual and general want of
employment is now imminent. It seems
tg be but tog true that while a miserable
financial system has made the price of
necessaries higher in tho United States
than in any other country, the monopo
lists themselves, in whoso behalf and for
whose "protection” this vicious system
was framed, are not prosperous; that
even they are not richer by as much as
the mass of people are poorer.
The fact is they overdid it. Manufac
turers who thought they could live se
curely so long as the tariff stood, put
their immense comings, squeezed out of
the people, into unproductive property.
A Yankee factory now feels as much the
injury of tho tariff as did the people who
were obliged to consume the goods made
in that factory.
The bricks, the cement, the glass, the
putty, the slates, the wood, iron, paint,
varnish, above all machinery, cost in av
erage, oh account p.f the tariff andinfla-
tion, double their actual value. Then
came dear money, dear material and dear
wages. All this went on as long a3 the
financial balloon floated. When it was
pricked and collapsed all that it floated
went with it.
The fact is, the American industrial
system during the last twelve years has
been the production of dear goods for
the American inflated dear market. A
financial trouble reduces trade, and the
American manufacturer lias no outlet
for goods except at home. He now has
the home trado with a vengeance.
A Maconian Makes His Debut
• in Brooklyn.
We find thf following in the New York
Commercial Advertiser, of Thursday after
noon:
Mr. Sidney Lanier, a very fine flutist,
and a Southern’ gentleman, whose name
is known to some of our readers as tbo
author of a pleasant, wild story of love
and war in tuo South, made lus dfbui last
night before a Brooklyn audience in As
sociation Hall. He selected an elaborate
nocturne by Briccialdi, and in reply to an
encore plaid Richardson’s brilliant varia
tions on the “Blue Bells of Scotland.”
He also played a composition of his own,
entitled “Blackbirds,” which is a transla
tion of the sweet strain of the Southern
blackbird into music, and is full of bird-
notes and wood-sounds. The concert was
given in aid of the Sunday-school of the
Church of the Reformation, and tho vocal
and piano contributions were from tho
well-known Symphonia Quartette of this
city, Miss Kate G. Church and Miss
Mary Butler, who also very gracefnlly
directed the music. Not the least inter
esting part of the entertainment was tho
performance of the children’s choir of the
Sunday School.

We are agents for Middle mid Southwest
Georgia for this popular stove, and can sell them,

ond-, or even third-class article can bo purchased.
