pTTIw friends of Gen. Toombs will be

Gen. Ghaut a Real Soldier.—A telegram
in the Philadelphia Ledger reports that Gen.
Grant has said, ns to the Maryland troubles,
“that he knew nothing of the merits of the
case, and should, of course, obey orders.’’
Masonic.—The Grand Lodgo of Georgia
will convene to-day in the Masonic Hall, on
Cotton Avenue. The freedom of our office,
together with files of papers, stationery, etc. f
is at the service of the delegates during their
stay in the city.
Le Bon Ton. for November, the most pop

from the publishers. It may also be had at
the Periodical Depot of Messrs. Patrick &
Ha;cns,wh<> have now a lull supply of all the
fashionable rending of the day, with more
solid food for the intellectually inclined.
The New York Times says: With the
President removed, and Gen. Grant officially
decapitated, and the Southern States reducer]
to territories, and the Southern whites held
in bondage, and with Brownlow and Butler
and Phillips “running the machine,” the con
dition and fate of the Republic might be con
fidently foretold. What would five-twenties
be worth then ?
Spain and Slavery.—A Royal decree has
recently been issued in Spain which re-
penis an enactment equivalent to our old fu
gitive-slave law. Hereafter slavery is to be
' treated as a local institution peculiar to Po-.to
Rico or Cuba, and the moment a person held
as a slave in those Islands reaches, from any
cause, any other portion of the Spanish do
minions, or the territory of any State where
slavery does not exist, he regains his freedom.

al O. O. Howard. Chief of the Kreedmen’s
Bureau; Major General Daniel E. Sickles,
commanding in South Carolina; 3fajor Gen

similar military and political prominence.—
We hope Mr. Trenholm feels better.
Important Bank Decision.—A New York
telegram of the 25th says: Before Judge In
graham, in the Supreme Court, to-day, three
cases were tried against the Bank of the State
of South Carolina, located in Charleston, S.
C., which were of vital importance to owners
of Southern bank bills, which have hitherto
been supposed valueless. The plaintiffs are
owners of bank notes issued before and du
ring tbo rebellion, amounting to $53,000.—
The defense set up that the hills were void,
having been issued by the bank during and
in support of the rebellion, in violation of
public policy. The Judge over-ruled the de
fense, nnd gave a verdict for the plaintiffs in
the full amount, with interest.

A SLANDER UPON SOUTHERN LEADERS
A Georgia correspondent thus writes to the
N. York Times regarding the constitutional
Amendment:
“I believe positively that if to-morrow
they (the disabled political leaders of the
South) could be persuaded that by th ;ir eon
sent to the third section the people could se
cure peace and freedom, they would earnest
ly urge them to do so. I know that many
prominent men whom it affects would take
this course, and I atn persuaded that they all
would agree to it.”
However agreeable these sentiments may
be to the editors of the Times, they are with
out truth, aud do a crying injustice to the
leading men of Georgia, whose views they as
sume to express.
Wc have no doubt that there are in the
State of Georgia many prominent leaders in
the late war who would cheerfully submit to
any personal disability, could they purchase
by tlie sacrifice tlio “peace and freedom” of
their fellow-citizens ot the South. But that
there is one honest patriot among them
who believes that the adoption cf the
constitutional amendment would se
cure “freedom,” or whp is willing to pur
chase “peace” upon such a sacrifice of every
principle of individual right and public lib
erty that be bos been taught to bold as essen
tial to free government and the equality of
the States, we most unhesitatingly deny.—
There is a very great difference between per
sonal sacrifices and the entailment of degra
dation and dishonor upon a whole people.
Did the constitutional amendment involve
only the former, there are men in Georgia
who arc patriotic enough to adopt it; but
when, while they accept disability for them
selves, they also forge the chains of political
slavery for the great body of their fellow
citizens, it is neither patriotic nor right that
they should take the fatal step. Though
prostrated themselves, they would deserve
the eternal curse of tlieir people for tearing
down the temple upon them in the act of
self-destruction. The leaders ot the South
have no right to inflict such a curse upon
their countrymen; and we protest against
any man consenting to immolate himself nt
such a cost as the disfranchisement nt\d dis
grace of the great body of the people.—
What would he or they gain by so fool-hnrdy
an uct ?
The infamous proposition now submitted
to us in the form of a constitutional amend
ment, does'not stop with a disfranchisement
of nearly every good, virtuous and usefu>man
of the South (which, of itsclt, would lie
enough to secure pur utter destestation), but
it strikes at the very esccncc of free constitu
tional government and the equality of the
States. The man who sacrifices himself to
make it part of the fundamental law, must
agree to overthrow the constitution of our
fathers, and change the entire relation of the
States to the confederation which they form.
He must agree to change the basis of repre
sentation, and thereby still further reduce
the power and influence of bis sec
tion in tlie Federal councils. ne must
consent to government in the South
at the bauds of an aristocracy constituted
of the very basest materials—white nun who
never bad the public confidence, in combina
tion witli tlie African race who recently con
stituted our slaves. lie must agree to give
Congress supreme power in the regulation of
the domestic affairs of the States, and virtu
ally to abolish the State governments alto,
gctlier. He must consent to yield up every
constitutional guarantee that stands between
us nnd despotism, and place tbe entire peo
ple of the South at the mercy of a remorse
less and tyrannical faction at the North.
Is there one political leader at the South
wiiling to bring such a destiny upon our peo
ple by bis own act f If. there he, let him
stand forth.
way of thinking are willing to be taxed to build
important works, the city, with all her advan
tages, is doomed, and to her aha mo will aoon see
tbe opportunities which now invite her to act,
absorbed and controlled by her wiser and more
energetic sister cities of the State.
But I do not despair, I ilo not rely on
the real estate owners as a body
to build them or any other Each Works, either in
Macon or elsewhere. But I appeal to the mer
chants who are the large tax-payers of the city, and
to the mechanics and working men of all kinds, to
see to It that these two great Works are not allow
ed to lag and to insist that the incoming Mayor and
Council shall be men who will press them on to an
early completion. Then, indeed, will the per
manent success of our city be assured.

New Yobe, Oct. 27.—The Secretary of State has
addressed a letter to Sir Frederick Bruce in be

NEW BOOKS.
FREDERICK THE GREAT AND HIS COURT,
A Historical Romance, by L. Muhl bach,

Translated from the German by Mrs.
Chapman Coleman arid her daughter.—
New York. I). Appleton & Co.. 443 aud
445 Broadway, 1866. 434 pp For sale in
Macon by J. M. Boardnian.
Nearly every one of us read “Joseph II.,
xud His Court." during tlie war, and were
highly interested in it. Here is another book
by the same author, written in tlie same fas
cinating style, elegantly translated, and beau
tifully printed and bound. To begin it is to
read it through ; for who is not interested in
tbe great Frederick ! From first to last the
book is dramatic, nnd tbe interest is p» serv
ed unflagging. It gives us most interesting
glimpses of men, women nnd history. Kings,
queens, courtiers, pageants, masquerades nnd
masks, love, courtship, marriage and sur
prises, all pass before us in entertaining re
view.
The book is translated by Southern ladies,
thus seeking to earn a support, and its pur
chase will assist them. Our copy is from
Mr. Boardnian. who has just received a sup

Tiih Office or the Holt Communion in the
Book of Common Prayer: a Scries of Lec

St Paul's, and one of Her Majesty’s Chap
lains in Ordinniy. New York: D. Apple-

Boardrnaii.
Tlie title page, above quoted, indicates the
character of the work. The subject is divi
ded and disenssed under different heads, cov
ering the entire communion exercises of the
Church ol England, as set forth in the book
of Common Prayer. As a treatise on that
particular branch of Christian duty, and the
forms through which it is practiced, the
work before us forms a valuable accession to
the theological literature of|the Episcopal,
Church. No member of that communion, or
Indeed, of any Protestant church, should be
without it.
Tlio Policy of Macon.
Messrs. Editors: It seems your correspondent
“J,” differs from the views expressed by me a few
days since in yonr paper: may not the difference of
opinion between ns, be somewhat owing to the
difference of car objects and interests ? Mine is
solely to build up Macon and her interests, and
make her approach what she should be. I expect
Macon to be my home, thro’ weal and woe, as it
has been for more than thirty years; and as it Is the
Central City of the State in name, I wish it to be so
in reality, In business, in comfort, convenience and
in all other respects. Nine-tenths of the little
property I have left to mu is In Maeon, liable to
taxation, and I want it to pay its full share of al
that is necessary in the way of Taxes to bnild up the
City. I have no Gas Stock, nor Houses to rent,
paying twenty-five or thirty per cent, interest. If
that were tbe case, I might be satisfied with the
maxim, “Let well enough alone,” fearing this
percentage might be diminished by auy new
project. I have no Central Railroad Stock, or 1
might oppose a new and competing Road to tbe
Sea.
Whether “J” Is interested in any Investments
like the above, I do not know, but from the article
be has written, one would think so.
In my article, I Indicated no part icnlsr aid to be
extended by the city, either to the Brnnswlck road,
or to tbe Canal and Water Works. In the case of
the Brnnswlck ltoad, the mere endorsement of her
bonds might insure the completion of the work.
Suppose the subscription of $200,000 (not $250,000)
which the city has made to tbe Brunswick Road is
loet, as an interest-paying investment, which is
not the case—as several dividends have been paid,
and as nc unfinished road in tbe State stands so
high in tbe opinion of capitalists and business
men—still I appeal to the citizens if it has not al
ready been worth more to them, and to the city,
than the amount subscribed. I think it has. And
I believe that if a gilt, instead ol a subscription of
$250,000, would insure tbe completion o I the road
iu the next two or three years, It would be wis
dom to make tbe gift; and of course folly not to
subscribe, if the subscription alone will insure
tho completion of the road. The little town of
Brunswick has just subscribed $300,000. Why,
think of it! I have information, on good au
thority, that the roeeipts of tho Central Road
last month were $100,000: thst freight from here
to 8avannah is from 70 to 80 cents per hundred;
that the Company will pay a large dividend in
December, despite the immense outlay they
have just made ta rebuild their road, and tho
heavy discount they had to submit to on their
Bonds to raise tbe money. How is all this pos
sible? Why, simply because the Central Road
baa no opposition, and charges jnst what the
directors please. How much of this eonies cut
of Mscon pockets, I can’t exactly tell; but I
pledge myself to this proposition: Open the
Brunswick Road, and then charges will be
reduced well nigh one half.
I have not time to extend this article, and will
not dwell upon the Canal and Water Works,
which, so far as I have heard, all the citizens
are in favor of, except a few of tho large owners
real estate—the very ones who should bo
most favorable thereto, for tbo reason that
they will soon be brought to the notice of tho
people in a different way. Nor have I time to
dwoll upon tbo financial condition of tbe city, as
I suppose tbe city authorities are competent to

committee.
Written Constitutions—Count
ninrek.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from Prussia, gives some very inter
esting statements as to Bismarck’s life and
opinions. One remark is attributed to him
which shows that he tins learned either from
books or observation what it required the
events of a long war to teach us on this side
of the Atlantic, and what even now the radi
cal leaders have not learned, or studiously
ignore. Count Bismarck is reported to have
said:
“In a government by written constitution
there is no such tiling as an absolute right, on
either side. A right absolute in terms must
be subject to limitation in practice wher. its
exercise comes in collision with another right
equally perfect in theory, as must often be
the case.
ment may prove quite impossible; then one
must give way, and tbe welfare of tbe State
must determine which. Be sure that, iu
parliamentary constitutional government, if
you adopt the maxim Jiat justitia, pereatmun
due, it is thepercat mundus that will always
come upon you."
We in this country have, ns wc have re
peatedly said, been compelled to come to
the same conclusion with Count Bismarck.—
There is no respect for the requirements of a
constitution when they stand in the way of
the accomplishment of any object desired by
a ruling mob. “It justice must be done, or
the world perish or be lost,” says tbe Count,
“you may be sure that your world will per
ish.” The mob arc not going to be balked of
their will. How true of our Radicals. Per
ish commerce, perish affection, perish Govern
ment credit, perish the old Ccnstitution, per
ish the President, but “ let us rule,” is their
creed. Yet the hypocrites pretend that they
have so much faith iu the value of a constitu
tional provision that they must compel us to
ratify one before we can be restored to our
rights in the Union. \Itichmond Dispatch.

The Mexican Emperor nnd Em
press.
We copy from the Paria correspondence of
N. Y. Times:
A SUCCESSOR TO MAXIMILIAN.
The choice of Maximilian’s successor, which
is to be submitted to the concurrent advice
of Marshal Bazine and General Castelnau,
and sanctioned “y an assembly of Mexican no
tables, is of coarse still unknown. I am sure,
however, that neither Juraz, Ortega, Santa
Anna, nor Escobedo, nor any of the old
hacks of the Liberal and Church Party, have
tlie least chance to be promoted to the high
office Of the President. The same iron hand
which has driven them to the frontier and
kept them there, will undoubtedly prevent
their return to Mexico. The only candidate
of the Liberal Party who is seen with favor
by all classes, is a gentleman by the name of
Ruiz, formerly a President, I believe, of the
High Court of Justice. He is said to have a
strong party in Mexico City, and to be gener
ally respected by all. I should not wonder
if he was the man in favor of whom Maximil
ian would abdicate.
THE EMPRESS CHARLOTTE.
Gen. Almonte, the Ambassador of the Mex
ican Empire at Paris, has received a letter
from Miramar stating that the Empress Char
lotte was gradually improving. The nervous
excitement which bad provoked symptoms of
insanity was receding, and all appearances
are that it will ultimately disappear. During
the moments of her lucidity tlie Empress is
said to have written to Prince Iturbidc, ac
tually in one of the colleges of Paris, a letter
full of good advice and sensible remarks, in
wbicli no traces of a disordered imagination
appear. The news that Dr. Blanche, the cele
brated physician for insane people, has gone
to Miramar, is withoht foundation.

The correspondent of the N. Y. Herald
writes:
Annapolis, Md., Oct. 27, 1866.
The investigation in the matter of the Bal
timore Police Commissioners was resumed
this morning, at ten o’clock, before Governor
Swanq, in the Executive Chamber. A large
number of witnesses were examined and tlie
disclosures made of corruption and official
misconduct during the election were aston
ishing. The evidence went to prove that the
judges of the election and clerks were, with
few exceptions, men of most disreputable
character, well known to the police for their
bad conduct, as well as low and vicious hab
its. It was also in evidence, as corroborated
byjsevcral witnesses, that the windows where
the judges sat were so selected as to hide
them from view almost completely during
the polling, so that fraud might be the more
easily carried on. It was also proved that in
several instances no ballot box was kept for
votes that had been objected to and were in
dispute, and that the special constables se
lected for the occasion were of the very
worst class. Men who were known to be
conservatives, and held appointments jn the
police, were discharged upon trumped-up
charges being Drought against them, and in
all such cases radicals were put in their
places. It was also in evidence that some of
the Police Commissioners were seen drunk in
the streets, and that rowdyism was permitted
to go on unpunished and unprevented by the
radical police, who openly used the most
abusive language towards the President of
tlie United States and Governor Swann.
Ax Honest Estimate.—Mr. Grant, father
to Gen. Grant, was called upon for a speech
when in Cincinnati attending a Republican
meeting. In speaking ot his son, Gen. Grant,
he says :
Now, my fellow citizens, I have never
claimed any distinction for any services I
have ever rendered. Accident, fortune, good-
luck, something or other, has enabled me to
raise up a son who has rendered some service
to bis country. But I may say that the ser
vices thus rendered by that boy of mme have
not only been fully appreciated, but they
have been put down, perhaps, at more than
they are worth. At any rate, he has receiv
ed as much credit, as muc]i promotion, and
as many substantial testimonials, or more,
than many other men who have done more.”
The Princess Murat.—Among the arri
vals at Boston by the China, from Europe, is
the Princess Murat, who is on her way home
to Florida, in company with the son of the
late Commodore Dallas, of the United States
Navy. She is the descendant of Joachim
Murat, King of Naples, and belongs in Flori
da, where she lias long resided. At the close
of the war, Louis Napoleon sent to know how
she fared, and on receiving the required in
formation, settled on her tor life the sum of
$20,000 francs, or about $3,800 in gold, annu
