tw» Nicaragua would gladly make any

this great ^enterprise, and as there are good
reasons for believing that the capital re
quired will be forthcoming as soon as
General Grant is ready to bind himself to
assume that position, there should be no
delay now in pressing forward the neces
sary preliminaries to the formation of a
successful American canal company,
probably its main office had better not be

A fte* for ft Silver Currency.
Ex-Secretary McCulloch addresses a
letter to a prominent member of the
H.,js* of Representatives, In which he
urges the increase of the silver circulation
by the withdrawal of small bills—all be
low ten dollars. This substitution he
thinks should be gradual—first, with
drawing the one dollar bills—then the
twos and then the fives. This substitu
tion, he thinks, would lead to the appre
ciation of silver, not only in this country,
bnt all over the world. He is of opinion
that the convenience of small bilb b
greatly overrated, and their use b directly
in the way of an increase in the circula
tion of the precious metals.
The ex-Secretary b right in hb opinion
abont the practical effect of small bills,
and yet it would he a heavy shock to tlie
country to bare none below the denomi
nation of ten dollars. Thai would neces
sitate the use of shot bags for purses, and
would stand seriously in the way of the
retail trade. *
Tlie currency of a country should seek
its primary adaptation to the small daily
purchases of fife. This, in its last analy
sis, b the trade of a country—sutabting
all other trades. All large “operations”
of the “merchant princes” must find at
last a solid foundation here or come to
naught. Therefore, we repeat, the first
consideration in relation to the currency
b to adapt it to the convenience and read
iness of these small exchanges.
Tlie bigger ones can easily take care of
themselves, and, indeed, arc usually ef
fected without Interchange of any money
at all; while plenty and convenience in
making change is essential to almost every
little transaction, and without them bad
habits arc engendered among the people-
such as running up accounts and creat
ing debts, which not only involve a vast
amount of useless labor, hut save public
morality. A five dollar hill, therefore,
might well be the lowest limit of the pa
per circulation, but if it were ten the
change would be burdensome to make and
to carry, if in silver—and silver b and
ought to be tlie money of tlie people tlie
world over. Our financiers sneer at
France for carrying such a weight of me-
talic currency, but the French are beyond
schooling in these matters. They know
that plenty of money makes a cash retail
trade, and a cosh retail trade underlies the
whole fabric of public thrift and morality.
American Silk Manufacture.
The Baltimore Sun learns from a recent
brief account by William C. Wyncoop
that last year this country imported, prin
cipally from Asia, not less than 1,590,-
000 pounds of raw sUk; that there is
no demand in this country for cocoons be
cause there are no pilaturcs for reeling
silk established among us, and conse
quently all the raw silk imported has to
be silk that is already reeled, and this for
the purposes for which it is used must be
of tlie finest quality.
Many of our readers will be surprised
to learn that the manufacture of silk
thread and twist has readied a point with
us tliat defies competition, that our plain
and dressed goods arc superior in texture
and in wearing qualities to those of tlie
same grade imported from Europe,because
none but the best silk thread is used, and

The Railroad Meeting.
As will be seen in tlie proceedings,
which appear elsewhere, the public meet
ing yesterday, which, though not very nu
merously attended, embraced quite a
number of representative citizens, without
any discussion upon the merits of the
lease question, simply appointed ten dis
creet and excellent delegates to represent
tlie city in the convention which meets on
the 50th instant.
At that time the whole subject will
doubtless be exhaustively considered.
Tlie late meeting demonstrated, however,
tlie unanimity of the community upon
tlie necessity and propriety of the lease.
A prominent citizen told the writer that
with proper effort the money to secure it
could be raised in Macon and on
tlie line of tlie road and its proposed ex
tension without any trouble. There are
capitalists from abroad who are said to be
willing to come down with the cash for
that purpose with tlie guaranty of a few
substantial citizens, and once leased, the
road will pay the required rent of $00,000
per year, and tlie extension can be built
by tlie sale of first mortgage bonds. This
is tbe opinion at least of some of our
wisest citizens.
The agony, however, will soon be over
and tlie apothegm verified we suppose,
tliat tlie longest pole will get the persim
mon. But Macon and Brunswick should
strain every nerve to retain possession of
the road.

General Grant in E
A very large portion of d double sheet
of the Times, on Wednesday, was devoted
to a graphic account of tlie immense pa
geant in honor of cx-Frcsidenl Grant. On
tlie first page appears the fac simile of a
letter received from the General on the
fourth of January, 1S65> accepting from
the people of Philadelphia an elegant
boose and lot which had been donated to
him.
Fifty thousand persons marched in pro
cession, and the streets, avenues and
housetops swarmed with at least 300,000
spectators. The Times speaks of it as “the
most imposing and popular pageant ever
given in this broad land.” President
Grant was the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Childs. No monarch on earth ever re
ceived greater adulation from his own
subjects than have been extended to this
private American citizen. A large number
of prominent Republican officials, includ
ing several members of the Cabinet and
other distinguished personages, were pres
ent. _

In politics, the editors are Conservative
Democrats, and favor an economical ad
ministration, of public allairs and the
strictest adherence to tbe constitution of
our fathers. Upon local matters, they are
devoted to the best interests of our dty
and section, and believe it to be their du
ty fearlessly to advocate the right, and
never blindly follow the lead of passion or
subside into the grooves of faction or per
sonal partisanship.
In the selection of candidates' to office
we advocate the doctrine that all good
Democrats are eligible, and, therefore,
while everyone should liaTe a showing
and be fairly dealt with in our columns,
the people, in primary assembly or conven
tion, are, and should be the sole judges of
the qualifications and merits of all aspi
rants. When thus fairly nominated it is
the duty of every Democrat to stand by
his party.
Having thus succinctly stated the
principles and rules by which we intend,
in all honesty, to be guided, we again call
upon the people of Middle, Southern
and Southwest Georgia especially to yield,
as lutlicrto, a generous support to the
Tklegkapii and Messexgeb, -which
has labored in their behalf for more than
fifty years.
“The People’s Relief Association.”
As an act of justice to the above named
Association, we would state that in our
last Sunday’s notice of its advertisement
we erred in calling it a life insurance
company, as it has hut few of the features
pertaining to such companies. The “Peo
ples” is a benevolent association in the
broadest sense of the term, and was or
ganized for the mutual protection of its
members.
The projectors believing tliat the times
demanded some true plau of mutual pro
tection, based on equitable principles arid
safe methods, obtained from the most ap
proved tables of mortality, whereby the
people could secure all the benefits of mu
tual protection, combined with the safety
and permanency claimed for the old sys
tem of insurance, without the uncertainty
and delay of initiation into secret organ
izations, the trouble of attending lodge
meetings, or the assumption of obliga
tions. “the People’s Mutual Belief Asso
ciation,” was organized and chartered un
der the laws of the State of Alabama.
The officers are well and favorably known
in insurance and commercial circles, and
their names are a guarantee that the busi
ness of the Association will be skilfully
conducted, and the interests of its mem
bers faithfully guarded.
The money collected from tlie members
of tiiis Association creates two distinct
funds, which are always kept separate
from each other, the one (mortuary assess
ments) for the payment of death claims;
and the other (membership fees and dues)
for the payment of the necessary ex
penses of management. The first men
tioned is deposited as collected for the se
curity of its members, with the “National
Commercial Bank of Mobile/' and accord
ing to the by-laws of the Association, can
only be drawn therefrom to pay death
claims as they occur.
These funds are never loaned or invest
ed in securities of any kind—certain or
uncertain—on the contrary, they can be
made available by sight draft, with which
to meet all claims arising from death
among the members.
The mortuary assessments are based on
the American Experience Table, and in
crease from year to year in accordance
with the mortality among those of each
particular age, as shown by the table.
One assessment must accompany each ap
plication for membership.
No other mortuary assessments will be
collected until approved death claims are
presented, which when paid will reduce
the amount in bank to Jess than five thou
sand dollars.
Notices of mortuary assessments will
contain the name and residence of the
member or members deceased, together
with cause of death, the officer before
whom the proofs were acknowledged, and
the officiating undertaker.
Members will be notified in writing of
the day on which their annual dues or
mortuary assessments are payable, and
thirty days from tlie date of such notices
will be given in which to make payments.
The plans presented by this Association
commend themselves to every thinking
man, aud must, on careful consideration,
meet Iris hearty approval. They afford
“purely mutual protection” at actual cost,
the members risk only one small ante
mortem assessment, which is deposited in
tlie National Commercial Bank of Mobile,
and held as a sacred trust to make the
payment of death claims sure. Tlie ris
ing scale of assessments—based on the
American Experience Table—is strictly
equitable, prevents the necessity of pro
viding a “reserve” for the increasing age
of the members, and affords all_the per
manence claimed by “high priced life
companies,” and more than a large capi
tal or “accumulated reserve” gives them.
This is a strong point, and furnishes a
guarantee of fairness and stability which
co-operative orders and societies have as
yet failed to provide.
For further particulars, we refer our
readers to the advertisement of the Asso
ciation fouud in another column of this
issue. Mr. Jas. P. Hough, the very clev
er agent in our city, has his office at
100 'Cherry street, over Messre. E.

bers and will take pleasure in explaining
its plans and merits.

The Lesseps Canal Across the Isth
mus Again.
This scheme seems to be beset with nu
merous and well nigh insurmountable
difficulties. The obstacles in the way of
an ocean level canal are thus forcibly pre
sented by Commander Lull, U. S. N., in
his report to the Department. He satrs:
Such a channel would he burdened not
only with the discharge of the springs de
veloped in the cut, and whose number and
force in a land so saturated with moisture
would be beyond comparison with those
of any hitherto constructed work, but must
also become the ultimate drain of the sur
face of a very considerable portion of the
adjacent country. It would during the
rainy season, if not indeed at all times, be
a wild torrent, unfit for the passage of
ships, and. must speedily become filled
with bars and other obstructions from the
detritus famished by its own current. It
is a matter for congratulation, therefore,
and not for regret, that in all localities so
far examined the profiles are such as to
make a canal without locks practically
impossible.
And respecting one swamp on the route
of the Lesseps project the report says:
The soil is a soft ooze of unknown
depth, and I greatly fear that it would be
exceedingly difficult to prevent the chan
nel’s filling up as fast as opened.

Daily Times: Only yesterday morn
ing we published two instances where
parties were accidentally shot by a care
less handling of firearms. Yesterday we
learned of another case in which a negro
boy named Lucius Truitt came near los
ing his life. He was hunting rabbits with
his brother Plumb, also a boy, when the
dogs jumped up a rabbit and Plumb, fir
ing at it, shot Lucius, the whole load tak
ing effect in his groins. He was severely,
but not dangerously wounded.' Only
about a year ago his brother was acciden
tally shot and killed near the same place.’
It does seem as though too little atten
tion is given to the way of handling such
dangerous weapons, and a little more cau
tion might save much agony and pain.
Axotiier ErrnEMic.—Oglethorpe Echo:
Billious fever of a most violent form, is
raging just above Crawford, in this county.
Dr. W. M. Willingham was last week
called onto visit some cases on a place
rented by Jake Quarterman, (col.) and
upon his arrival found seven negroes pros
trated by tho disease, one having died just
before liis arrival. Tho dead and sick
were confined in a single cabin and the
room was crowded, with other negroes.
The stench that pervaded the air of the
black-hole is said to have been enough to
kill a well man. Four negroes died a few
days ago on Mr. Dick Hargrove’s place,
and we hear of the appearance of this fever
on other farms in that section. It is con
fined, we believe, to the negroes, many of
whom court its spread by their filthy habits
and the impure atmosphere of their homes.
So soon as one is taken sick, friends (?)
from every quarter pour in to visit him or
her, and by crowding the room cut off the
small bit of air that creeps.into the poorly
ventilated apartment.
M. E. T., of the Etmintj News, has
been led. Hear him: I am also led to
say that the South has no literature—I
mean none that is distinctive. I may go
farther and include in this plain state
ment of facts the entire Western hemis
phere. Still there is certain to come a
new and distinct school of literature in the
South. We have no genius in literature.
The great man is yet to come. America
is better represented in art than she is in
literature. This leads me to say that tho
original one of Raphael’s most celebrated,
paintings is in tho possession of a South
ern gentleman, Governor Hammond, k of
South Carolina.
The Savannah Recorder relates the
following amusing incident:
Yesterday afternoon, a gentleman from
the rural districts, accompanied by a
young lady, entered David Weisbein’s
popular store on Broughton street, for the
purpose of making some purchases. While
she was looking around at the many beam
tiful articles, and holiday presents, he was
gazing at the bust of a lady which was
exquisitely dressed for advertising pur
poses, and presented a most natural ap
pearance. The dummy was placed near
the door, and the artist made it have a
handsome and modest face, The, coun
tryman became enraptured with it, and
the longer he gazed the more he admired
it, until in the fervor of his love, he em
braced and kissed the bust. His strange
actions attracted the attention of the young
lady clerks in the store, who burst out
laughing at the unexpected denouement.
Dejected, embarrassed and humiliated, he
struck for the door and escaped.
Meriwether Vindicator: After tho
heavy showors Thursday and Friday a
deluge of rain fell in the town and county
last Saturday night continuing all day
Sunday. The streams were swollen to an
unusual height and much damage is re

and carried off we hear of the breaking
away of several bridges. The eastern
end of the bridge across Bed Oak creek
near Byrd Lovett’s is gone. The bridge
over the same creek near Peter Strozier’s
is badly damaged. The western end. of
the bridge over White Oak Creek near
Wamerville is carried off. Half of the
bridge across Flint river at tho mouth of
White Oak creek is washed away. The
bridge across the river at Chum’s ferry is
broken in the center and half the timbers
swept down the river. The last three are
new bridges.

Chronicle and Constitutionalist: The
Chronicle publishes this morning an open
letter on the political situation, written by
Colonel Thomas Hardeman, of Macon.
Colonel Hardeman is well known in the
politics of Georgia, and is a prominent
candidate for the Democratic nomination
for Governor. The letter is what was to
have been expected from tbe writer. Col
onel Hardeman is a staunch Democrat,
and has not lost faith in the ultimate
triumph of Democratic principles. He
thinks that the Southern leaders should
pursue a wise and conservative course, and
while abandoning no principle and sur-
dering no right, should take every oppor
tunity to show the masses of the North
that the people of the South are not the
enemies of the Union and the constitution.
Colonel Hardeman does not believe in
disbanding the party and deserting the
Northern Democracy-. On the contrary, •
he is in favor of adhereing closely to party
lines and making vigorous warfare on the ,
Republican party, which is au enemy to.
the constitution, as well as an implacable '
foe to our section. We commend his let
ter to the careful attention of the readers 1
of the Chronicle.

U FOtf feeeipt of tbe aofcuntire willma to
•ppliccnts the following teatoc&bto pure
Senator Bayard at Home.
Of . Senator T. F. Bayard at home; a
corrwpondent of the Boston Globe says :
••In'Lis fiunily, Senator Bayard is the
mods husband and the model father, rfis
wife and his children are liis jewels, and
he cherishes them with a true father's love
and care. His family are his companions,
and when lie is not engaged in his public ^ „
duties at tlie capitol. you arc almost sure
to find him wi'Ji liis family at home. The Early ForcttiK Carrot
Bayards live very unpretentiously Hefcaf' r “" -
Washington," in'a plain, brick mansion,
large and roomy. The house is furnished sroteti'kaie"'
with a view to the comfort of the inmates
rather than as an exhibition of the wealth
of its owner, and therein it differs from
tlie homes of most wealthy men here in
Washington. The engravings aud paint
ings upon the walls are rare rather titan,
numerous; the furniture is‘- comfortable
and artistic rather than fashionable and
showy.
A favorite rendezvous of the Senator's
is the dining room—a large, substantial
room, with a'great, hospitable open dining
table and cheerful open grate lire always
burning on tlie hearth tn cold weather,
and a solid, substantial looking sideboard,
the lock of which is never turned, 'and,
which never seems to be barren of good
cheer. Here the Senator likes to gather
about him his friends, both political 'and
private, and there is rarely a day, I fancy,
during the session of Congress, when Sen
ator Bayard does not have one or more
notable men to dine with him. After’din-
ner he delights to sit in this room and
chat with ms guests on the various topics
of interest of the day. He is an inveter
ate talker, and, when warmed up upon a
a question of public importance, is apt to
do three-quarters or seven-eighths of the
talking himself.”
Long • indulgence in over eating or
drinking produces a disorganized liver,
and all the evils attendant upon sueh de
rangements; depression of sprits, habitual
costivonoss, norvous exhaustion, indiges-
tiantpain in tho head, with nausea; full
ness of stomach after meals, chillness, gen
eral debility and languor. Seek from
Simmons’ Liver Regulator.
“It is a very valuable remedy for .dys
pepsia, sick headache, torpid liver I and
such like diseases.” W- S. Holt:
President of S. W. R. R. Cr., ofcftf; :

To Pack Hams.
A well informed writer says hams and
shoulders should be packed in a mixture
of one-fourth brown sugar and three->
fourths dry salt. Place the hams and
shoulders in a large salting tub, skin side,
downward, and then cover with the above
mixture, say one-third of an inch thick,' a
little salt and sugar being applied from
time to time on such part of the meat as
become uncovered by the formation of
brine, taking care to keep them well cov
ered near the bone. Shoulders and hams
from hogs weighing three hundred pounds
are required to bo kept in a tub under this
treatment about threo weeks; they are
then hung up in a dry room for a week;
and afterwards hung up in a smoke house
and smoked about a month; they should
then he sewed in cotton bags and lime-
wash. Com cobs arc the best for smok
ing, though any kind «f hard wood will
answer if sound.
