AUGUSTA, GKA..:
Tuesday Morning, December 14, 1875.
Boss Tweed’s Last Message.
I’m afloat, I ra afloat on the wild, raging:
sea,
And there ain’t any use of ycur looking for
me.
Some day I may trouble myself to tell
why
I couldn’t stay longer to bid you good bye.
Deal gently with Dunham—remember the
line,
It is human to err, to forgive is divine.
I convinced him by arts which I have at
command
That a bird in the bush is worth two in the
hand.
Be kind, too, to Justice—that blindfolded
miss; -
Don’t blame that poor girl for a trifle like
this;
She always, I think, does the best that she
can,
And aiu’t up to the tricks of a clever old
man.
God bless my dear country, and cherish
her fame,
Though I quit her for good, yet I love her
the same.
For she taught me that Freedom was every
man’s right.
And that’s what 1 thought when I bade her
“Good night.”

Ooly three deaths ia Macon last
week. '' • • • l
Charles Herbst has been appointed
librarian of the Macon library.
Dr. J. H. Bryans has succeeded Mr.
H. M. Edge in the management of the
Indian Springs Echo.
Bishop Beckwith has left Georgia for
New York, and will be gone three
weeks. Caustv sickness of his family.
Rome Courier : “It is strange how
hard it is for a Radical to give up an
office. They always have to be kicke3
out, or else steal something and run
away.” A four line sermon for South
Carolina.
The Macon Telegraph, in speaking of
the stopping of cock flghtiug by Mayor
Estes, says: “ Good for Mayor Estes.
The inhumanity ought to be prohibited
by law.”
The steam saw-mill of L. P. Ander
son, in Brunswick, was burned up re
cently. Loss, §15,000; no insurance.
It was caused by a tramp through
carelessness.
The proposition to reduce the num
ber of county officers, and otherwise to
diminish the expenses of the county ad
ministration in Georgia, is receiving
the hearty approval of the press, grand
jurors, etc.
And still they turn up. The Consti
tution of Atlanta says : “Col. John M.
Harwell lays on our table a turnip
weighing 1% pounds, raised by Hon.
Jnlius P. Clements of Tuunell Hill.
John raised it with a lever.”
In voting for Trial Justice in the
1234th district (Atlanta), which occur
red on Saturday last, R. S. Walter, the
Democrat, received 519 votes out of
626 polled. A large number of colored
men voted with the Democrats.
J. F. Kibbee has resigned the posi
tion of General Ticket Agent on the
Macon and Brunswick Hoad, and will
be succeeded by Joseph M. Edwards,
late road master of the Macon and Au
gusta Road.
Macon Telegraph : Business has been
remarkably dull, the police being una
ble to gather up anything of considera
tion. The people are on their good
behavior, which is probable due to a
general impecuniosity of which every
body is complaining.
The cotton receipts to Friday in Co
lumbus, were thirty thousand one hun
dred and ninety-two, against thirty
eight thousand six hundred and fifty
seven bales same date last year, show
ing a decrease of eight thousavd four
hundred and sixty-five.
Hon. George H. Pendleton, of Ohio,
with his family, was ia Atlanta on
Saturday. It is his first trip through
our sunny laud, and he says that it is
his purpose to see as many representa
tive people and places as possible, in
order that he may know us as well
from personal observation as he’ does
in our progress and fame.
Atlanta Herald: A large number of
compressed bales of cotton is to pass
over the Georgia Railroad now in a few
days, destined direct for Europe. A
large number of bales has just come
up the West Point Railroad, to be
shipped the same way. The two cotton
presses are doing well, and are a great
benefit to Atlanta. The cotton which
now comes here, is compressed, and
then shipped direct to Europe.
Anew route to Florida, call
ed the Magnolia Route, via Au
gusta, Yemassee aud Savaunah to
Jacksonville, has just been estab
lished througti the energetic and en
terprising Superintendent of the Geor
gia Railroad, Ooi. S. K. Johnson, who
seems to have got anew lease of life.
The first train will leave here on Mon
day at noon. Pullman sleepers run
through to Savannah. A train also
leaves here at 10:30 at night, and gets
to Savaunah at 3:20 next day—two
hours and five minutes ahead of any
other train.— Atlanta Herald.
S. B. Cleghorn was elected Mayor of
Columbus on Saturday. He is a native
of that city, and prior to 1865, when
the freedom of slaves was declared, he
was one of the wealthiest young men
of Georgia. Since, he has sustained
serious reverses of fortune. He lost a
leg and several fingers while fightiDg
for the Confederacy at the battle of
the Wilderness, being at that time a
lieutenant. His collegiate education
was obtained at the University of Geor
gia.
In the editorial correspondence (H.
H. J.) to the Macon Telegraph, from
Savannah, is found the following re
marks: “Trade is in a fearfully de
pressed state here, and merchants an
ticipate much difficulty in meeting their
spring paper. As an evidence of the
scarcity of money, no less than thirty
residences and pieces of property were
sold on Tuesday for taxes, and bidden
in by the city. Of course the majority
of these will be redeemed, but it only
shows how hard up are the owners. On
the same day Mr. Freeman, the Deputy
United States Marshal, informed the
writer than two hundred and thirty two
lots of land, mostly in the piney woods
counties of Southern Georgia, contain
ing either or 490 acres each, were
knocked off under the hammer at mar
shal's sales, for the pitiful sum of one
hundred and five dollars.”
Under the biographical caption of
“The Collapse,” the constitution of At
lanta devotes over a column to the af
fairs of West, Edwards & Cos., whose
acrobatic performances in the commer*
cial line has furnished the Atlantese
with sensational matter for some days.
West and Briscoe the two members of
the firm who were jailed by Judge
Hopkins, surrendered the books and
were released. The liabilities of the
firm are not settled, and any figures
named are only approximate. So far
as the late review is to be relied upon,
when a correct balance is struck and
proven, it is thought the liabilities will
hardly go above a quarter of a million
dollars. To offset this the firm can
only offer, for a compromise, forty per
cent, of the sum represented by their
assets and available means. This would
reveal a capability upon the firm to
raise 8100,000, which may be considered
With safety to be the full limit of their
The creditors will probably
compromise.

THE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and is
lap, at the rate of 300 to 40 ) pounds per hour. The laps are then Unlshed on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KITSON’S PATFNT EVENER
Attahed, and owing to reecent improvements in this Evener, the laps wnon ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only aboutone mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card room.
j&rThere is also a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mms at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a few among many testimonials whicn we nave received:

Langley, S. 0., April 14, 1873. f
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen. I nrve been running your system of Compound Opener Lappers aid
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, for more than two ' r earS ba* tat the <> turn MuJ ot too
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the mo-4 satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen, we have not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty pec
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its socur ty against fire.
Yours, &c., Al. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
