There is no city in Georgia equal to Macon
as a stock market * There were, one Ray last
week, over three hundred mules offering for
sale, and if our planters wish to purchase stock,
Macon is the place for investment We say to
drovers, here is the plic • to sell fine stock; and
to planters, Macon is the market, above all oth
er*, where the largest supply is always to be
found. Therefore bring your money to Macon.
In the Savannah Republican of last Thurs
day appears a letter from Col. Warren Akin in
explanation of certain law charges against the
State, and at the bottom of it, muchtoonrsur
prise, the special request "will the Macon Tel-
egraph and the Augusta Constitutionalist insert
the above? r We will "insert” the Colonel’s
letter very cheerfully, seeing that he thinks a
letter necessary to exonerate him from the sus
picion of dishonesty or extortion. For the cred
it of Georgia, if for nothing else, some things
ought to be assumed as true; undone of these
should be that a gentleman who has risen to
'the position of nominee to or incumbent of the
Executive Chur is at least commonly honest
—that be is incapable of cheating, defrauding,
stealing or lying. So much ought to be as
sumed, ait least until the contrary is lawfully
proven before a Jury of the country and the
expectant or official is safely inclosed within
the walls of the Penitentiary.
We have a right to be surprised, however, at
the Colonel’s particular request of the Telt-
grapk. Did the Telegraph ever impeach bis
fees 7 • Has he ever found a line in the Geor
gia Telegraph throwing a doubt on his reputa

rather intense than otherwise. In fact, we are
bound in candor to say that Mr. Iverson’s par
ticular friends and champions seem disposed to
stop all travel which does not go through their
especial toli-gate. The Telegraph has not only
made no bitter personal assaults on Mr. Iverson,
but it has ever treated that gentleman with en
tire justice and courtesy. In placing his Grif
fin speech before our readers, we pointed out in
a few brief lines, as we felt bound to do, certain
inconsistencies in the positions assumed by that
gentleman; but wc have never made any per
sonal war upon him whatever. One of our cor
respondents has also reviewed that speech at
length, but that he has done upon his own res
ponsibility, and any friend of Mr. Iverson can
exercise the same privilege, if he desires. Our
columns are equally open to both sides. Thus
lair is the Telegraph’s record; but how is it
with the other aide »
Let every press in Georgia, which maugre
this Griffin speech, believes there is still adem
ocratir party worth contending for, answer.—
An unsparing personal attack has been institu
ted against them, so vindictive and furious in
its character as to attract the notice and con

Fire Wood—The Bridge.
_ Now that the cold weather is coming on, we
must -begin to think cf the suffering poor, and
be prepared to do all in our power to alleviate
their unhappy lot *
The great want of the poor in Macon in win
ter is wood, and the high prices which were
asked for it last season cut short their supplies.
The propriety of allowing wood wagons to
pass the Bridge free has keen frequently dis
cussed, and a petition to that effect was present
ed to die City Council last winter, but refused.
We now hope our City Fathers will take this
matter in hand—pass an Ordinance, permitting
wagons loaded with wood to pass free of toll.
We have been told that by such an arrange
ment the price of wood will, in all probability,
be reduced twenty per cent As the case now
stands, the wood business is in the hands of a
, few persons who own lands near Macon on the
west side of the river. Let us have competi
tion. Let the oast side of the coufttv have a
fair chance.

the fact, that the flooring of tjie Bridge is in

The gallant and talented Harper has com
menced the canvass in the 7th. He spoke in
J&per on Thursday—at Clinton on Saturday,
and speaks to-day at Marion—to-morrow at Ir-
winton. Wc say to our friends, if they wish
to have a trea t in the way of a speech, go and
hear Harper; and if they want a representative
who’s sound to the core, who has the ability,
the independence, the honesty and thc patriot
ism to do bis wholo duty, vote for Harpei—send
him to Congress and they will never have cause
to regret it. We hear the moat cheering ac
counts from all parts of the district, and we
predict that Mr. Hill and the Recorder will be
compelled to sKtle their difference of opinion

The new Senator, Hon. James Chestnut, jr.,
in response to an invitation publicly to define
his political position, has assigned Wednesday,
the 28th, at a public dinner in Camden, for that
purpose. The election of Col. Chestnut was
deemed a triumph of moderate opinion in the
State, and it was thought his general policy
would- coincide with that of Gov. Hammond.
A good deal of interest will be felt in Senator
Chestnuts first public demonstration.

ARMY INTO PARIS.
_ One of the liveliest sketches of a grand event
we have ever read will be found under this
head in another column, originally copied nun
* the Paris Correspondence of the London Times.
“It is true that Col. Akin disclaimed any
unkind feeling toward Gov. Brown ; mid an
nounced, st the commencement of his speech,
that he would treat hiui with perfeat respect
and courtesy. But his whole speech was a vi
olation of this voluntary pledge; for there was
no portion of it in which there was not some
reflection upon tbe character or capacity of
hi* opponent, or some insinuation of unworthy
motives against him. In hi* management of
lbe Western & Atlantic Railroad, lie was rep
resented as a knave*; in liis bank policy, as a
demagogue and an ass; and in bis exercise ot
tbe *eto power, as an unfeeling brute. Col.
Akin called upon those present to tell him
what Joseph E. Brown had done, that be should
be re-elected Governor of the State 7 and be
cause no one replied, he assumed that Gover
nor Brown had, in tbe opinion of bis audience,
done nothing to eutitle him to re-election. He
declared that, in his opinion, he had done ma
ny things which ought to defeat his re-election;
and proceeded to denounce bis representation
of his management of tbe State Road, as one of
the veriest humbugs and grossest frauds which
ever was imposed upon an honest and unsus
pecting people.’’
Thus the indignant Akin, smarting under a
personal insinuation which ought to make him
chary of woundmg others, follows suit with
bis organs, and charges Brown with systematic
deceit, delusion and bumbuggery, as reckless
ly as if be were passing the compliments of a
fine morning. It is an illustration of that
depth of prejudice and bigotry which will not
permit a man to see an inch beyond the line of
what he conceives to be his own rights and in
terests—which blinds him to all that is due to
bis neighbor—and to even-hauded justice—to
courtesy and fair dealing. It is a spectacle
which ought to make angels weep and men
ashamed. It’a a disgrace to Georgia that pol
iticians cannot canvass this State decently and
wilhont charging tbe Chief Magistrate with
crimes and misdemeanors which, if they could
be proved, would, consign him to thc Peniten
tiary.

The election of a Black Republican to thc
Presidency of the United States, under thc
| forms ofthe Constitution, although much to
he dreaded by the Southern people, would not
of itself justify a dissolution ofthe Union.
To be successful wc must always keep our
selves right, and let thc adversaries he wrong.
If a Black Republican Administration should
adhere to the provisions of tlie Constitution and
violate none of the principles laid down in the
Georgia Platform, how could we expect to unite
the Southern people in dissolving tiie Union ?
Though we may have but little to hope for
from such a quarter, I would say act in good
faith and give them a fair trial.

Constitution shall bo trampled on, and we re
