For the accommodatisn of the pub lio it is kept open to a late hour. In the enumeration of the promiums taken by the reeidents of our city at the late State Fair a correspondent failed to mention that a premium of S2O was awarded Miss Georgia Way, of Savannah, for the best painting in water colors.

A few evenings ago as the street car of the city line of the Savannah, Seaboard and Skidaway Railroad y, which left the Exchange at half-past 1 o’clock was passing up Whitaker street, nqar Liberty, a little colored bov, named George Williamson, aged about fiye years, ran after it and attempted to jump on the platform, with the intention of stealing a short ride. A white boy who was on the front platform beckoned to him to come on, and held out his hand to assist him. The driver informed the white lad that the boy only wanted to steal a ride and not to en courage him. George continued to follow the car as far as Macon street, and when about that point was so near the car that the driver could not see him and supposed that he had abandoned the attempt. A short while after he w£s conscious that the car had struck and run over some obstacle which he presumed was a large rock. The conductor at once rung tue bell, and the car was stopped, when it was discovered that the boy had fallen on the track and been run over. On examina tion it was found that the wheel had passed over the left leg below and above the knee, fracturing the thigh. He was taken into an office near by, and Dr. T. J. Charlton dressed the wound and bandaged the limb. From the Macon Telegraph and Messenger. A GRAND MUSICAL DISPLAY. We have not heretofore found space to make such particular mention of the elegaDt display of musical instruments from Ludden A Bates' Southern music houso of Savannah, Ga., as it deserves. It is comparatively an easy matter for a home music house to exhibit their instru ments, but for a houso hundred of miles away, it is of no little matter of expense and labor to transport their instruments and devoto val uable time. Messrs. Ludden A Bates, with their usual enterprise, have made a most ad mirable display, and we are really glad to know that they have made sales of instruments which will fully compensate thorn for all their inconvenionce. They have also made hosts of friends and extendod their business ac quaintance largely. The instruments exhibited by them were : The SI,OOO Haines Bros. Square Grand Piano, which was raffled among subscribers to their valuable Southern Musical Journal ; a superb $650 Hallel, Davis A Cos. piano: $650 Haines Bros, piano; a S3OO Southern Gem piano ; a $275 Excelsior piano ; three Mason A Hamlin parlor organs, and among them was one of the new style Etagerie cases, $225, which was greatly admired. They also exhibited a fine selection of handsome music books in cloth and gilt, and several hundred piece of popular sheet music of their publication. The playing of the blind boy from the asylum upon their superb instruments, attracted crowds to their stand and added not a little to their success. The junior partner, Mr. Bates, did the honor of the occasion, and like everything else he un dertakes, ho did it well. His singing of “Good Night, Little Nell,” will not soon be forgotten by those who so heartily enjoyed it. He is highly pleased with the attention shown him on all hands, and assures us that when ever Macon has a fair they*can just count on a big display from Ludden A Bates. Central Railroad. It is rumored that a dividend of $3 per share will be declared by the Central Railroad Company from the earnings of the past year up to September 1, 1875. It is to be hoped that the recent decline from 62 to 54 will be temporarily only. However, in the face of this rumor, transactions at 54 were made a few days ago, and more offering to purchase. ■ i 11 (Communicated.) Augusta, Ga., Oct 26, 1875. Editor Georgia Expositor : Dear Sir :—The receipt of your first issue has delighted me. Hundreds in this commu nity have been longing and praying for a Protestant paper. It’s want has been felt throughout the State of Georgia. By Protestant, I mean a paper that will boldly and fearlessly defend Evangelical religion and expose error, when it openly attacks or covetly assails the truth. Ido not desire to deprive a Roman Catholic brother of a single right or privilege claimed or enjoyed by his fellow-citizens of other religious persuasion—far from it. The Constitution of the United States guarantees, as you truly state in your Salutatory—to every citizen perfect free dom and the amplest toloration. But Roman Catholicism claims suprem acy. And as the Religion, Education and Politics of the Church of Rome are a unit and all directed by tho fiat of the Priest, Bishop and Pope, it is obvious that the members of tho Romish sect must move in mass at all our municipal and State elections; and move they will as they have done at tho bidding of a foreign potentate. The liberal and broad views of our American people have greatly encouraged and facilitated the growth of Popery in this great Republic, and hence we find that advantage has been taken —by far-see ing Priests and Jesuits~of this feature of our national feeling and public policy. Some thirty years ago when tho immortal ‘ 'Kirwan” published his admirable letters in the New York Observer and pointed out the aims and exposed tho schemes of the Papacy, he was censured even by Pro testants as an alarmist and bigot. To-day the leading politicians of Ohio admit that Kirwan was a true prophet. The fact is, Kirwan knew what Popery is—and what Popery is seeking to attain in this great Republic. Romanism wants control of our educational institutions, and gaining that, she will seek the suppression of all free thought. The Priest must think for the whole parish—in religion, in politics, in everything—he claims the right of do ing all the thinking. Already we have had in ©nr city a teacher who refused to teach Gooderick’s English history because she found some story in it which did not accord with the views of the Church of Rome. If the grounds of her scruples be sustained and our Board of Education concede, in a short time, we may have the Romish Testament introduced into our city schools with the sanction of our City Council. The Protestants of Augusta are said to ont number the Roman Catholic popula tion by three to one (not including the colored population), and at the present time there are movements going on quiet ly, but with steady aim which, if not soon arrested, will place the control of the pub lic schools of Augusta in the hands of the Roman Catholics of our city. This start ling statement can be confirmed by evi dence. The state of our educational in stitutions throughout Georgia, at this mo ment, requires to be carefully noticed and faithfully guarded. Wishing yon God speed in your noble and commendable enterprise, I am, respectfully, A Contributor. (Extract of a Letter.) Augusta, October 26, 1875. E. Yulee, Esq.: Dear Sir : Though personally unknown to you, I hope you will accept my un feigned congratulations to yourself and hearty thanks to God for this noble effort to meet error and sustain truth. An en terprise so much wanted. (Communicated ) Editor Georgia Expositor: Dear Sir: —l do not despise the day of small things; and, consequently, though your paper is not all that I trust it will yet be, I, nevertheless, hail it as an honest attempt to expose one of the worst of the forms of modern apostaey. Strong efforts arc being made by the agents of the Papacy to extend its influence all over tho earth ; and it bocomos tho friends of truth everywhere to oppose the progress of this sys tem of error. In the United States, whero, if in any country, religious and civil liberty ought to prevail, tho constitutional rights of the people arc in jeopardy ; for already omin ous signs of future conflict are visible. Here in Savannuh there is sore need of an out spoken testimony in behalf of spiritual free dom. Many questions of vital importance are excluded from the pulpit, and belong more properly to the press. Besides, the sermon can be heard by a limited audience only ; the printed article can be read by all. But where considerations of interest and patronago are paramount, questions that may give offence to an intolerant party, are likely to be ruled out as unsuitable. Scurrility and personal in solence will find acceptance, when truth will be rejected as, forsooth, too controversial Christian people who take these papers may be disgusted continually with accounts of low thoatrical exhibitions, and a mass of miscel laneous verbiage, sometimes called wit and sometimes called news; but the sacred princi ples of tho word of God, which they hold so dear, must never be presented, if there be any thing in the presentation contrary to tho tastes of certain vulgar minds. In view, therefore, of tho fact that your papor is certainly not very far behind any thing we now have, and in the hopo that it may help to meet tho existing need, I wish you prosperity. You will no doubt bo charged with sinister designs by some who would bo greatly surprised if some of the charges were retorted upon themselves; but such woapons cannotjinjuro’you. As to tho inuondo sometimes hoard about tho opposition to Popery being the policy of a political party, we are not careful to answer anybody in this matter, for every man of sense knows that tho questions at issue are no moro American than European, and woro discussed centuries boforo Columbus was born. As my scissors may servo you better than my pen, I send the following cuttings from tho London Christian World. T. 11. “In Spain, France, Ireland and Amcricnwe see the emissaries of the Pope busily at work. Tho first-named country is at present the scono of renewed efforts to destroy the meas ure of religious liberty which has been at tained, and to carry her back to tile old had days of tho Inquisition. In Franco, it is proposed to establish universities in all the leading provincial centres, which will be completely controlled by the Jesuits. Through the Lord Mayor ot Dublin, an attempt is on foot to make tho Home-Rulo movoment sub servient to tho interests of the Church. llis lordship, who is no doubt acting under tho in spiration of tho highest dignitaries of the Popish Church in Iroland, has raised the ban ner with anew dovico, ‘Faith and Fatherland.’ Tho scheme does not promiso, however, to be successful. Mr. Butt, who would, of course, be excluded from fatherland by faith, wilj havo something to say on the subject. The Protestant Irishmen, of Glasgow, havo hold a meeting to protest against the new departure, and the leading organs of Homo-Rule in Ire land do not shrink from denouncing the mu nicipal instrument of tho priests. A similar want of success attonds the assualt which is being made by the Roman Catholic clergy upon the common-school Bystem of America. All the more intelligent members of their own flocks flatly refuse to follow thoir lead ; and the Chrietian Union, of New York, in the latest impression at hand, declurcs that ‘Protostunts of almost every denomination are rapidly overcoming their prejudices against the com plete secularization of the common-schools, for every day’s discussion makes it cloar that this is the only ground upon which, in a country where tho State is divorced from tho Church, and all sects are equal befoie tho law, the sys tem can be consistency and securely placed.’ This is a sentence thet may be of use on Eng lish as well as on American soil.” “The respect cherished by the Roman Catholic dignitaries of Canada for British law, as laid down by the highest court in the realm, is evidenced by the fact that since the disgraceful riots in Montreal at the attempted funeral of Guibord, Bishop Bourget, of that city, has formally cursed the ground in which the dead printer is to lie ! What will the Privy Council say to this ? A strong appli cation of the Bismarckian policy would Boom to be needed in Canada. The cursing of the ground took place on the 12th of September.” “A decree of Don Carlos has been published showing what might be expected if this too) of the Pope ever reached the throne of Spain. This document enacts that any attempt to abolish or change the Roman Catholio religion in Spain shall be punished by temporary im prisonment or perpetual banishment. ‘Any person celebrating public worship not of the Roman Catholic Apostolio religion shall be punished by temporary banishment.’ Those who profane images would receive a long term of imprisonment.” “The recent circular of the Papal Nuncio addressed to the bishops ol Spain denouncing the clause in the projected constitution in favor of religious liberty is being actively dis cussed in Madrid, and the interference of the Papal See in the internal affairs of the coun try is being resented." “At a crowded meeting held in Glasgow on Tuesday under the presidency of the Earl of Galloway, resolutions were passed declaring that the Vatican decrees, claiming snpreme power, removed the Papacy from the domain of mere religion, and called for resistance; that the Papacy is a most perfect system of tyranny, and its re-appearanee in Britain de mands the attention of every friend of liber ty."
