successfully fougbt for the maintenance of

In future aa the Bibb County Democratic
Club.

Executive Committee, and to the Macon pa
pers for publication.
Tin; Negro Conventions.—The Norris
town (Penn.) Democrat describes the estima
tion in which these bodies are held in that
section of the Union. It says:
Among the Radical politicians there is a
stolid, heartless indifference to the action of
these Conventions and the effect upon the
Southern people and the character of the
.nation, so long as they promise the accom
plishment of their own selfish and ambitious
purposes. A mong the people, though, of all
parties, we hear but one sentiment advanced,
and that one of thorough loathing and dis
gust fur these unnatural .conclaves and their
unholy wtprk. Tliej* regard the spectacle as
a disgrace to American civilization, and an
outrage on tho Southern people,’and this ex
pression has been given m emphatic words
not to bo misunderstood at the recent elec
tions.
Tm: RionT lDEA. Boldly Proclaimed.—
lYjfcn impeachment was undergoing discus
sion in the House, thorc was one member at
lesat who was bold enough to take the Radi
cal: bull by tbe horns and defy his power.—
That member was tho able and venerable
Jujige "Woodward, for many years Chief Jus
tice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.—
Ho'said:
Mr. Sjjc’nker, so sure am I that the Ameri
can peotdo will respect the object, that if"I
wefe the President's counsellor I would advise
liiih, if you prefer articles of impeachment,
to demur both to your jurisdiction and.that
of the Bcnntc, nnd to issue a proclamation
giving you nnd all the world notico that
while he held himself impeachable for mis
demeanors in office before the constitutional
tribunal, he never would subject the office he
holds in trust for the people to the irregular,
unconstitutional and fragmentary bodies who
propose to strip.him of it. Such a proclama
tion,'with Hie army and navy in hand to sus
tain it, would meet a.popular resiionso that
would m..ke n:i end ot impeachm'mt an 1 i:n-
peachers.
This is the true doctrine, but, unfortunate
ly for Mr. Johnson', he has recognized Con
gress too far in it j action towards everybody
else to question i ,p authority now as regards
himself. It i3 the cry for the people though,
and it should be made resound throughout
the North. WfJ* all tlie States represented
in tbe Seur.t.* ... s they of right should be. im-
pcaehmcp't would not stand the ghost of a
cbane'J Will the people allow their Presi
dent to be deposed by a fragmentary Con
gress from which a portion of the States are
excluded, and just for such tyrannical pur
poses ‘as tho one now on hand t Let them
answer.

The Fruit tiiey Eat is of the Tree
th»y Planted.—The garrulous old Ohioan
who writes under the name of “A Veteran
Observer,” says, in his last letter to the New
York Timc», that it must have been a wise
man, ironically speaking, who drafted the
law requiring a majority of the registered
voters to vote upon the ratification of the
State Constitutions in the rebel States. This
provision .of the law was put into it iinde:-
atandingly, and was the full purpose that it
should operate to the continued exclusion of
th4 Southern States from the Union. Con
gress was at the time anxious to keep us out,
and we were anxious to get into the Union.
Bat things are changed now. Alabama de
sires to stay out, and Congress is anxious for
her to come into the Union. But the law
did not change with Congress. So Alabama
geta the benefit of a provision intended for
her humiliation, and Congress is “hoist with
its'own petard.”

Great Fire in MUIedgevllle.
About 8 14) o’clock this morning, our city
waa startled by the cry of fire. Tho bakery
of Jftrs. Haug, on Wayne street, directly op-
po4ta tho Milledgeville Hotel, was discovered
to be on Are—(.one of the range of buildings
obm known as Huson’a old Hotel.) The
buildings were of wood, and tho flames rap
idly extended aouthward, notwithstanding
the exsrtions of the tire company, who were
fiooa'on tho spot with their engine. The Jew
elry atore of Mr. James Supple was soon in
volved, and successively tho Millinery estab
lishment ot Mrs. Lcikins, tbe Barber Shop.on
the northwestern corner of Wayne and Green
attvata,
These buildings burned rapidly, and also
•at small wooden buildings adjacent,down
oa the northern aide of Green street. To
wards tbo north, on Wayne street, the jewelry
atom of Mr. Miller and the contectionery es
tablishment of Mr. Conn, (which was also
the office of the Southern Express Company)
and Mr. Haug'a shoo store, were consumed.
Tho flames here encountered the fire-proof
buildings of Mr. Waitzfelder. The solid
brick wall and excellent slate roof resisted
the further encroachment of the destroying
element la this direction, and at sunrise all
danger of further spread of the fire was at
ah end.
We arc informed that the chief losers, by
reason of the houses consumed, are Mrs. Dag-
matt, Mr. S. B. Brown and the estate of A.
w. Calloway. There was some insurance on
the buildings, but wc do not know the
amount. Captain Conn lost only a portion
of-his stock of goods, and extricated the safe
oLtlie Express Company. Wc learn his in-
dhraacc will probably cover his loss. The
Sakery and the Dixie Bar-Room, to the rear,
Mat most of their stock. Mr. Stipple saved
Uu working tools, and the more valuable
portion of his jewelry. Wc have not under
wood what was the loss of Mrs. Lcikens but
hope for her sake, and for the sake of our
fair, that those dear little “loves of bonnets”
all safe. The other losses of personal
property were, so far as wc have heart!, incon-
Hwrablc.—FVtf, fjnwn l 4th.

Irregularities of the Senate.

Senato expressing in mild and somewhat indirect
torma his non-concnrrcnco wi(h some of tho prelim
inary proceedings, holding that when the Senate sits
for impeachment trial, it sits unquestionably 03 a
court; tho Senato must necessarily receive notico
of intention to impeach from the House, but the or
ganization oftho Senato intoa conrt should precede
tbo actual announcement of impeachment on {ho part
of tho House, and articles of impeachment should
only bo presented to .a conrt of impeaebment. No
summons of other proceeds should issue except from
tho organized court, and rulos for tho government of
the proceedings of tho court should be formed only by
tho Court ltiwlf. Mr. Chaso finds himself unable to
come to any other conclusion than tho abovo, hut
adds: “I am informed that tho Senato has proceeded
upon other views, nnd it is not my purpose to con
test what its superior wisdom may havo directed.”

HOME MATTERS.
Felirnnry
Went out with weeping and sobbing as though
iu a bit of remorse over the misery it and its cold
blooded associates of the wintery trio bad wrought
upon the poor and Wretched. This pluvious state
of affairs continued all day of the 1st of March,
and the greater portion of Sunday night, to give
place to bright sunshine and skies where blue
looked all the deeper for the heavy washing of the
previous day.
Old Boreas got on a regular “tare” around town
and took more liberties with the toggeries of lair
pedestrians than seemed agreeable to the wearers,
even though they could boast of trim ankles and
pretty understandings. Ladies who do not stand
lairly iu tiiesd respects will have to eschew walk-
Dg dress and steer clear of the boisterous pranks
of that rude fellow March.

Young America vs. Olympic.
The match game between the Young America
and Olympic Base Ball Clubs came off on tho
grounda of the latter on Saturday last, and with
tho former result—a victory for Young America.
The ladies did not grace the occasion in such
numbers as usual, the weather being slightly
cold and unpleasant.
The play of tho men was not up to the usual
standard, although tho magnificent style in
which . Flanders “sailed in” attracted much at
tention. He is a new member, and I most
heartily congratulate the Young Americas on
tho acquisition; more especially as two of their
“first nine” have lately desertedtheireolors and
“gone over to the enemy,” to whom they render
ed most efficient aid in this game.
I shall not enter into any criticism of the play;
except as above stated the play was not up the
usual style on the part of all tho men. The fol
lowing is tho score of tho game:

A Step iu tire Right Direction.
The police made a descent upon the house of
one Melvina Kudford, a confirmed old “blister'
and gin-bloat, and jerked her and two of the other
haggard and sin-marked denizens of her den, on a
charge of disorderly house and riotous conduct.
The ranch they inhabit is said to he situated in
that delectable quarter of Macon known as’Tybec,
and their domicile is reported as having been the
nightly resort of all the lower order of rowdies
and some of the soldiers—many rows between
whom are said to have taken place.
We have taken occasion more than once to refer
to some of the debased creatures who reside in
Tybce and Andersonville—some of whom have
heretofore imposed, upon the city authorities, in
obtaining relief intended for the virtuous and de
serving poor—and trust, now that a break in the
good work has been made, a crusadc Will be waged
against these abandoned creatures, aud the.town
made too hot fo hold them.
His Honor did a very wise thing yesterday, iu
giving the three wretched creatures before him
choice of leaving town in twenty-four hours—
knowing lull well that they could neither pay fine
nor costs, and to send them to jail would only en
tail tbe expenditure of feeding them iu idleness.
Tis in just such cases ns these that the usefulness
of a workhouse is most marked, and a return to
the days of peace, stability and harmony most
earnestly desired by all right-thinking individuals.

From tho icy feel of the morning air, for the

“Winter was still lingering in the lap of Spring,”
and had made up hi3 mind not to abandon tho

old white-headed scamp, who has been having
everything his own way for the last quarter. It
would look as though nothing short of a writ of
ejectment would succeed in getting rid of this
cold-hearted old customer. Old Sol, however, is

Southwestern Georgia, we learn that the country J “Not the boss you’re trying jo ride. (
merchants of that section have come to the unan- ; and “thereby hangs a talcV ^
Imous determination to give New York the go-by ] sheroot, and I says, "Mr. Gra.it.
iDg terribly down South, couhm t .
some other woman send us down so®' ,
peak to Air. Stanton, amil
Ivc New York the go-by
this season, and purchase iu limited quantities I > D
from the wholesale houses of Macon.
We think this a very wiso conclusion, and firmly
believe that they can save money In so doing.—
Our merchants being prudent, thorough business
men, foresaw the recent rise in cotton goods, and
therefore purchased largely before this advance.—
Among the most go-ahead in point of prudence
and foresight in the purchase of every class of
goods suited lor the country trade, the house of J.
B. Ross & Son occupy a prominent position in the
front rank. The senior of the house has purchased
largely for cash, at a great discount from prices
now prevailing in the Northern marts, and for
cash they are offering a very heavy stock not only in
Dry Goods, but Groceries, Plantation Supplies, etc.
A look at their advertisement elsewhere, will ex
plain the matter more explicity, however, titan we
have set it forth, and it will pay country merchants
to heed it.

Slandkb.—Hesoid speaks of “an evil re
port, light, indeed, and easy to raise; but
difficult to carry, and more difficult to get rid
of.” With all the changes of time, tho evil
passions of men seem to have remained as they
were. Slander is of as easy birth and as diffi
cult of destruction now as when Hesoid wrote.
The editor of the Nashville Banner
has seen a com cob, shaped like a human
fore-arm, with a perfect human hand and
fingers at the small of the cob. The thumb
and fingers of the band are complete. Even
the veins of tbe wrist and finger nails are vis
ible, and tbo similitude is so striking that he
could almost imagine the veins and sindws
instinct with human life. May it not, in
quires the Banner, be a warning bqnd up
raised, telling us to abandon the culture of
cotton, and give our undivided attention to
com ?
