Seen by Grafton.
raph: In a late letter from the
ity of Albany, it seems I un-
id the wrath of.my sanguine-
bilious friend, editor of the Tri-Weekly
News. The paragr^b to which he takes ex
ceptions referred to t^ conservative course of
your paper, and stated Shat the people “frankly
admit that tho time for\ot-head. rattle-brain
counsels had passed,” and t^t they hod brought
the country into a deal of treble. Says the'
News; ‘ , ' \
We would like to know, however\to what “con-
ir&tivo course * ‘^rifton” alludes, Annfmiia.
Junction to the “hot-head,” “rattle-bra)
that “brought the country well-nigh to
a few years ago.” Does the Telegej
aay that it counseled adversely to sec
that it is proud of the record ? Does it mean to cen
sure the “hot heads” and “rattle brains” who coun
seled secession, and by secession brought the
country well nigh to destruction ?” If so, tho peo
ple of Albany and South-western Georgia have uo
sympathy with it or its correspondents, and tie
slandered in the paragraph.
I neither then assummed, nor do I now pre
tend to speak for the Telegraph or to commit it
to any line of policy, but spoke of my own ac
cord and upon my own responsibility. Tho edi
tor of the News wholly misconstrues the meaning
of the sentence to which he uselessly devotes a
column of his space. But the most remarkable
and the most astonishing portion of his article is
as follows: ■*
■‘‘Tho people hero’are proud of their war re-
--noes composing a section of the Savannah cor “-. They believed then that they were right, and
”'^7 . • nowthey knowit: andin accenting the situation
i.icditti, were on preliminary examination Sat
urday for mortally shooting Frederick Broad-
laker and Frederick Brickman, policemen on
the Thunderbolt road, last December. The tes-
tsmony was positive.
Aleck Edwards, one of the witnesses for the
defence says: “ 'When the boys who were ahead
were rushed upon by the white men, Caesar Wig
gins gave the order—‘Drop on your knees, boys,
and fire up the road,’ and they did shoot up the
road at the white men.” After plundering the
todies the negroes proceeded to Thunderbolt,
stayed there awhile and then took boats for Tur
ner's Rocks, where they lived, and where they
were thereafter continually on the watch to guard
against surprise by the officers.
This was the precise case in which the negroes,
according to the Tribune, were actuated by a
-rude sense of justice.” They were systemat
ically plundering the market farms near Savan
nah, and Broadbaker and party were a volun
teer police engaged in self-protection.
Death or Thurston R. Bloom, Esq.
A private telegram received yesterday convey
ing the sad and unexpected tidings of the death
of Thurston R. Bloom, Esq., created universal
surprise and sorrow. For many years Mr. Bloom
has been actively Identified with the business of
Macon and an ardent promoter of every public
enterprise looking to the advancement of the in
ierests and fortunes of the city. A man natural
ly astute, enthusiastic, warm-hearted, liberal,
sanguine, adventurous and indefatigable in the
pursuit of whatever he undertook, be was al
ways felt and appreciated in every public or
private enterprise in which he became interest
ed. Hp will be missed in Macon and the regret
at his untimely fate will be universal.
Slate Agricultural Fair.
We learn that the Executive Committee of the
Stale Agricultural Society will meet in Macon
on the 17th inst., to arrange the programme for
the State Fair next Fall—to make out a premi
um list, determine upon the time and perhaps
locate grounds. It will bo important, therefore,
lo determine at once what amount Macon will
raise for this purpose, so as to give some re
sponsible basis for action to the Committee.
We aro informed that a special meeting of the
City Conncil will be called to discuss and recom
mend some plan of action upon this point.
The Opera.—The Charleston Courier fays:
Gran’s Opera is working its way hither. It is
already booked for Macon. It is to be hoped
manager Grau will pay ns a visit. We have the
the most pleasant recollections of his last visit
to this place. We doubt not the management
had good reasons to be satisfied, in a pecuniary
point of view. Why not then repeat a visit so
agreeable to both parties ?
The Middle Georgian.
Mr. Seneca B. Burr issned the first number of
his revived Middle Georgian yesterday. It is a
fine large paper, worthy in all respects of Mr.
Burr's experience and ability in journalism. It
is published weekly and semi-weekly.
Appointment of Midshipmen from the South.
The kill in relation to the appointment of mid
shipmen from the Southern States, introduced
in the House some weeks since by Mr. Norris,
of Alabama, has passed both Houses of Con
gress and become a law. This measure is of
some importance to the Southern States, as un
der the existing law no appointments could be
made to the United States Naval Academy prior
to 1870. Appointments can now at any time
be made.
The Land and Immigration Bell. The At
lanta Intelligencer publishes stable of counties
asking through their delegates on appropriation
of ten thousand dollars to carry into effect the
Land and Immigration bill now before the Leg
islature. Of the $620,724 total tax in 1867 these
counties paid $432,144.
The Inauguration Ball.—It is said that the
negroes in Washington, on being refused a
chance to participate in the inangnration ball,
have decided not to attend as waiters, and to
get up a ball of their own, which, they are as
sured, either Giant or Colfax will attend in per
son. Many of the more respectable colored
people say they would not attend the ball of the
white folks, so many of the white women there
invited being other than respectable.
The Security of a Bio Cotton Crop.—The
Metropolitan Record takes the same view
which the Telegraph has expressed of the po
litical effect of a large cotton crop. In point of
fact the South has no other political security
than her importance as a wealth-producing sec
tion of the country. The Record says:
“The spirit of trade, we are reminded, is an
obsequious one, and worships snocess. Let the
South raise three million boles of cotton tins
year, and the very men who called loudest for
the enforcement of the reconstruction policy
will solemnly disclaim ever having been the en
emy of its people.”
The Trance Case.—The Doctors are still puz
zled over the ease of Minnie Rauch, the girl
thought to be in a trance for the past four weeks
at Burligton, Wisconsin, though the prevailing
opinion now is that she is dead.
The Watch : its construction, merits and
defects; how to chose it, and how to use it.

eighty-eight pages, received by mail yesterday-
Canada.-—The Governor-General of Canada
recommends the removal of the capitol to Mon
treal. Two more buildings in Montreal fell
from the weight of snow upon their roofs on
Saturday last
with all its changes, its wrongB, and its disasters,
they will spurn all men who attempt to falsify their
record, and all efforts, come from whatever source,
to relieve them from the full responsibility of their
•hot-headed and rattle-brained’ rebellion against
tyranny and oppression. They seceded upon prin
ciple, and fought for their liberties. When over
powered by superior numbers they surrendered
both to the enemy, and like brave true men ac
cepted his terms in good faith. That faith they
have kept sacredly, and will continue to observe it
with the same unfaltering fidelity that characterized
their devotion to the Confederacy; but they want
neither apologists nor sympathists; and we are quito
sure they will never learn to look upon treason to
the Tost cause’ as a virtue.”
Nothing was farther from my meaning than
to cast the slightest reflection upon either the
dead, the living or the principles of the lost
cause. To the effort of the Albany News to
place me in any such position, I do most em
phatically demur. He could not possibly say
anything more abhorent to me than that. Nor
can I admire the writer for singling out this par
agraph and making it the occasion for casting
reflections upon the Telegraph.
But since the News has seen fit to attack and
place me in a position which I do not now, nor
never did occupy, nor never intend to occupy, I
will state briefly, that together with nine-tenths
of the people of Georgia I acknowledge the
cause for which the people of the South fought
for four years with a heroism unparalelled in the
history of the world, as lost; frankly and freely
accept the situation, and will make the best of
it. We can gain nothing by advocating the
principles of secession now except tho wrath and
oppression of our Congress, already well nigh
intolerable. We must secure the best terms
we can with a people we failed to make acknowl
edge ns as an independent nation. It is not
within our power to do otherwise, however much
we may desire to do so.
But the memories which linger around the
late struggle—its battles, its sieges, its marches,
its heroism, its sacrifices, and its dead, aro as
dear to me as to any man living.' No one shall
accuse me of easting one single reflection upon
the soliders who carried the Confederate flag
through fire and blood upon one hundred battle
fields. When I forget my dead or living com
rades in that, struggle may my right hand forget
its cunning and my tongue cleave to the roof of
my mouth. As cold as the steel which drank
Jackson's and Bartow's blood is the heart that
would deny their deeds! If this be treason to
the Lost Cause, make the most of it.
It happens in the course of all men's lives
that they must sometimes acquiesce in that
which they cannot prevent. But a man of true
wisdom and stability, failing to conquer his
enemy by force, will seek the triumph of his
principles by mildness, by conciliation, and in
the practice of those gentle manners which often
and more surely succeeds than the most Hercu
lean blows. Such is the present situation of the
South, and the Albany News does me the gross
est injustice when it accuses me of reflecting
upon the soldiers of the Confederate cause in
counseling the Southern people now to practice
moderation in their action and in their lan
guage. Grafton.
Discussion in the Senate upon the
House Eligibility Resolution.
Specially reported to the Maeon Daily Telegraph.1
Atlanta, Tuesday night.
The Senate met at the usual hour.
Mr. Wooten moved to reconsider the action of
the Senate yesterday, concurring in the House
resolution yesterday in reference to tho refer
ring of the question of negro eligibility to the
Supreme Court. Mr. Wooten delivered a very
clear and argumentative speech in favor of his
motion. He took the ground that nothing which
could be done on that floor would in any way
affect the action of Congress, and that tho Su
preme Court had no right to jurisdiction in the
matter. It was, he said, a custom as old as time
itself, that the question of deciding the eligibil
ity of members of any legally constituted body,
should be left with that body and he would not
cast his vote depriving that body of the right
which had been gnaranteed it by tho Constitu
tion of the United States, and the Constitution
of the Sate of Georgia.
Mr. Burns supported the motion and spoke in
substance as follows. He said it had been his
earnest desire to avoid all questions of a polit
ical nature, and as far as he was able had exert
ed his influence to keep politics ont of that hall.
In his humble judgment there was but one man
ly, dignified course for this Legislature to pur
sue, and that was to avoid discussions of a polit
ical nature, transact the legislation absolntely
necessary and adjourn. But since the question
was before the Senate, he claimed tho privilege
of giving the reason that influenced his vote
upon the question before the Senate. After
calmly reviewing all the facts before him, he
could see but one safe and'manly coarse, and
that was to do nothing. He was opposed to the
resolution upon the following grounds.
First He did not believe that any action by
♦bi« Legislature would have any influence with
Congress. He referred to the Legislature of
1865 and the acknowledgment of the some ns a
legal body by Corgress, in submitting the 14th
Amendment’ for their ratification. He also re
ferred to Alabama in rejecting her Constitution
os required by tho reconstruction acts. In the
face of these solemn declarations and in de
fiance of their own laws, Congress had abolish
ed the State government of 1865 and had forced
the rejected Constitution of Alabama upon her.
Second. The Constitution of Georgia which
we have sworn to support expressly declares
that each House shall be tho judge of the elec
tion and qualification of its members. In de
claring colored members ineligible, they (the
Senate) had simply exercised a constitutional
prerogative which belongs to every deliberative
assembly in the civilized world.
Third. He could never give his consent to see
a right which was as old as Magna Chart a and
which was the life-blood of representative gov
ernment, surrendered to tho arbitrament of a
co-ordinate branch of the government.
. „ . . . Fourth. Ike Court could not take jurisdic-

Stoddard. Norton J. Chandler, Eldorado Knight, i Fifth. Georgia had complied with the three
Charles Blocker. , ,, • ! ■ fundamental conditions, required by. an act of
Congress dated June 25th, 1868, to-wit: The
adoption of the- 14th amendment ; the repeal
of first and third subdivisons of article 17 of her
Constitution “known as the Relief Ordinance,”
and thirdly that the right of any citizen to vote
should not be denied.
Mr. Burns argued this latter question at some
length showing that Georgia had complied with
these conditions and referred in support of his
assertions to Mr. Trumbull’s minority report in
the case of Mr. Hill, which states that “if Con
gress made thin inquiry in regard to members of
the Georgia Legislature, Georgia having been
declared entitled to representation. He could
make the same with regard to the State of Illi
nois, and any other State.”
Sixth. If Congress in the face of her solemn
action sees proper to remand tho State back to
the military let her do so. He believed that the
State would be benefitted by such an action be
cause Congress would in that case set a prece
dent which would enable ns, at no distant day, to
set aside the entire reconstruction measures.
Seventh. Let us inquire briefly who are the
parties in the State who would again have us re
manded back to tiie military and reduce order
to chaos. Is it the negro, who, it is claimed,
has been outraged? Certainly not. He had
carefully examined the list of all those parties
who had attempted, before the Reconstruction
Committee, to sully the fair fame of Georgia,
and nine out of every ten were white men who
were traitors to their country and to their race.
Unfortunate creatures! How long will they fa
tigue public indignation before they receive
their just reward. No one deprecated more
♦ban he did the unfortunate condition of the
country. No one would go further to preserve
peace and order; but there were men who were
traitors to their country—who would keep us in
an endless broil by attempting to keep up polit
ical agitation by playing the role of martyrs!
Oh, that he had the power of the holy men of
old that he might pronounce a curse more with
ering than ever fell from the lips of man! He,
for one, would never take back what he had
done under oath and under a solemn conviction
that he was right. In the far distance, the bow
of promise was visible. It was only a question
of time. “ Grim visaged war” had left us noth
ing but our honor; let us preserve this sacred
heritage untarnished, and unsullied.
The above is bnt a brief synopsis of the
speech of Mr. Burns which seemed to have a
great effect upon its hearers.
Mr. Candler rose and moved to lay the motion
on the table, which was lost by a vote of 13 yeas
to 17 nays.
Mr. Candler then then took the floor and
■poke for some time against reconsideration.
He thought that it would be good policy on the
part of all to yield a little to their own opinions
for the sake of the country. Concession of this
kind as had brought about a harmony among
the framers of the old Constitution of the
United States out of which has sprung that
much respected instrument He was wilting to
do as much for his country as any man, but he
believed that if they would yield a little for
policy sake some good might come out of it
Ho knew, at least, that if it did no good it could
certainly do no harm. Ho believed that not
withstanding the opinions of others that the
people would not respect the decision of the
Supreme Court he was satisfied they would
and that the people of Georgia would respect
any decision coming from that tribunal.
Mr. Hinton spoke in favor of reconsideration.
He did not believe that while it might be well
to sacrifice something for the sake of policy,
they ought not to be calleduponto consign them
selves to infamy. Ho was in favor of advancing
the interests of liis State, but he was not in fa
vor of branding himself as & traitor. He never
could take back what he had done last session,
as he believed he was right then, he still be
lieved he was rtght.
Mr. Brock delivered some remarks, the gist
of which we did not catch.
Mr. Wellborn opposed reconsideration. He
did not think it a party measure, from the fact
that men of both parties were for and against
it.
The hour of adjournment arrived, and the
Senate adjourned to 1p.m., Wednesday.
Aigiers—French anil Arab Life.
A correspondent of the London News writes
as follows:
Perhaps there is no place in the world Where
modem civilization and ancient Eastern life and
manners come into such close contact, and there
fore stand out in so striking a contrast, as they
do in‘Algiers. The whole of that portion of the
town which faces the sea and borders the quays
and harbors is as thoroughly French as Mar
seilles or Toulon. The handsome Place du Gouv-
emment, with its fine bronze statue of the Duke
of Orleans, its shops, cafes, colonnades, and
public buildings, would be just like that of any
French provincial town, were it not for the mag
nificent palm trees which overshadow the mar
ble fountain m one corner, and for the dazzling
white walls of the great mosque, with its elegant
minaret, which forms one side of the square.
The quays, crowded with sailors, and lined
by large warehouses, and the vast harbor, pro
tected by piers, forts and breakwaters, and
filled with large steamers and merchant ship
ping, has an cntiuely French appearance, os has
also the broad and handsome Boulevard do rim-
peratrice, with its long range of new white
buildings. Behind this boulevard and the
Place du ’Gouvemment are several straight
streets, mostly at right angles to each other,
all arcaded and full of excellent shops; but even
hero one sees something of Arab life. Arab
boys perpetually accost one, offering to black
one’s boots, or selling cigar tights, while stately
men, wrapped up in white drapery, every now
and then are met with, or half naked black
beggars.
When, however, wo reach, by a broad flight
of steps, the Place du Chartres, where the daily
market is held, we come upon one of the most
animated and picturesque scenes it is possible
to see in any city in the world. Hero French
and Arab life thoroughly meet, and are seen in
the most striking contrast. The whole place is
one moving mass of human life, and displays
every shade and hue of every color under the
sun. Fruit, vegetables, butter, eggs, poultry,
alive and dead, meat, bread, flour, in short eve
ry necessary of life, are here offered for sale by
both French and Arab dealers; it would be dif
ficult to say which are tho more noisy of the
two. The purchasers, also, are of both races,
and the clatter kept up by the constant bargain
ing going on, by the cries of the venders, the
cackle of the poultry, the shrill shrieks of Arab
boys, and barking of dogs, is positively deafen
ing.
There cannot be a place I should think, better
supplied with provisions than Algiers; the butch
ers’ shop3 in the arcades round this market
place, principally kept by very picturesque
Arabs, offer meat of every kind: the vegetables
hero displayed are most abundant and varied ;
salads and cabbages of the brightest green peas,
beans, yams, enormous potatoes, the yellowest
carrots, the pinkest radishes, and themostcrim-
son tomatoes. Tho fruit is especially tempting,
and of every possible sort; the grapes are, m
size, larger than the largest hothouse grapes we
see in England, figs aro large and plentiful; or
anges and lemons abound, olives, pears and ap
ples can almost be had for tho asking, while
pomegranates, bananas and the prickly figs
which grow on the cactus plant, all of which
are thoroughly African, aro to be purchased for
the smallest coins at every stalk
In the centre of this market, and shaded by a
spreading willow, is a large marble fountain,
forming the most picturesque point in this live
ly scene. Round it lie sleepy Arabs in graceful
attitudes, while swarthy children dabble in its
waters, and the cleaner vendors wash their
hands and faces in its streams. Above the mar
ket we begin at once to ascend the steep hill
side on which Algiers is built, and penetrate di
rectly into the purely Arab portion of the town..
Here nothing European meets our view ; nar-
low streets, or rather lanes, mostly consisting of
steps and roughly paved, formed by whitewash,
overhanging houses, with arched doorways and
■mall grated windows; shops open to the street
in which squatting Arabs, not overburdened with
clothing, sitting cross-legged, are hard at work at
some trade—shoemaking, tailoring, or embroid
ery. Hero and there some beautiful bit of
Moorish architecture is disclosed in an old door
way or window, and the groups in the streets,
whether beggar children with dark, almost black,
skins, and the brightest of eyes, or the bare
legged men toiling up with large water pitchers
or some other heavy load on their heads or
shoulders, or veiled women, a waddling mass of
white garments, huge baggy trowsers, tight awk
ward dippers, with, their «lark eyes only to be
seen peering .out of this abundance of white
drapery, are everywhere novel and picturesque. •

Special to tie Telegraph.]
Atlanta, Februrary 9—Night.
Senate.—Mr. Wooten moved to reconsider the
action of the Senate in reference to the resolution
referring the eligibility of negroes to office to the
Supreme Court. He desired this because he wished
to vote down the measure according to the Consti
tution. He would never abide by parties to judge
of the qualification of members of this General As
sembly. Members were sworn to support the Con
stitution, not in part, but as a whole. It says we
shall be the judge. This instrument forced us to
act as we did, however obnoxious to the opposite
party.
Mr. Barns followed in the same line of argument,
and cited Democrats to the State Legislature of
Louisiana, which turned out ineligible members.
There was no objection made then nor since. The
attempt to leave the question with the Supreme
Court is a farce—it is folly. The State of Georgia
had fully complied with the conditions imposed by
Congress.
Mr. Candler moved to lay tho motion to reconsid
er on the table—lost, yeas 13, nays 17.
Mr. Candler then spoko in favor of the original
resolution, differing materially with others as to
non-action being necessary. Georgia wanted to
abide by tho decision of the Court. If submitted to
the Court and it could effect no good, it would at
least do no harm. His remarks abounded, occa
sionally, with sarcasm at the course pursued by some
Democrats on the question. ,
Hq was followed by Mr. Hinton, in an able legal
argument, claiming that if the resolution passed,
its effect would be to trample under foot the very
Constitution wo were sworn to support. Congress
had not even demanded this additional sacrifice.
Mr. Candler made a motion that the debate should
dose at ten minutes before one: but Mr. Brock
having the floor would not yield. He made a long
speech in favor of the right of Congress to do what
it thought proper.
Mr. Wellborn obtained the floor. He made an
exciting speech, favoring the original resolution
from the House. Ho desired that wo should do
something to convince our Northern friends of both
parties of our wish to restore peace and quiet.
It is conceded that all the speeches made to-day
were very able. The galleries were crowded with
negroes during the discussion, and the debate was
quite exciting.
It is presumed that the Conservatives with a few
Democrats and moderate Republicans will finally de
feat the original resolution.
The Senate adjourned—Wellborn still retaining
the floor.
House.—In the House, the bill to allow any rate
of interest, was lost. It elicited considerable discus
sion.

A company of U. S. Infantry, from New Yorit,

At ono o’clock to-day, tho Senators, arm in arm.
came into the House. Wade took the chair, with
Colfax seated near him. Senator Conkling, Repre
sentatives Wilson, of Iowa, and Prugen, acting
tellers. Frugcn read the Democratic votes: Conk
ling and Wilson alternated in reading the Republi
can votes. All went smoothly until Louisiana was
reached, when Mullins, of Tennessee, objected, de
claring that no valid election was.lield in Louisiana.
A joint session was reported. The House voted
126 to 63 to count Louisiana.
The Senate, after a severe struggle to draw in ex
traneous matters, voted to count Louisiana. The
houses again met and proceeded with the count until
Georgia was reached, whenButler objected, because
the Georgia College had not voted on tho proper day,
and for other reasons. Much confusion ensued,
which Wade ended by ordering the Senate to its
own chamber. The House then voted 150 to 41 that
Georgia should not be counted. The Senate, after
a most perplexing and laughable struggle, declared
that, in the face of the concurrent resolutions, con
cerning Georgia, an objection in joint session was
out of order. The houses again met in joint session,
in absolute conflict. Wade ordered the vote of
Georgia to bo read, as directed by the concurrent
resolution.
Butler objected. Wade would hear no objection.
Butler appealed from Wade’s decision. Wade would
allow no appeal, and ordered the count to proceed.
Butler moved that the Senate have permission to
retire. Motion not in order. Butler insisted they
should control their own hall. Amidst the most in
tense excitement. Wade ordered the court to pro
ceed. Conkling commenced reading the result, but
his voice was drowned by cries of order. The
noise became deafening,when Speaker Colfax sprang
to the desk proclaiming that the Vice-President
must be obeyed in joint session, and ordered the
Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest disorderly persons. Col
fax was ordering and appealing probably for two
minutes, during which time the Sergeant-at-Arms
had distributed his men well through the House be
fore partial order was restored, when the reading
of tho result and tho proclamation followed, and the
Houses separated.
The Senate immediately adjourned.
In the House Butler introduced a resolution that
Wade's and the Senate action was a gross invasion of
the rights of the House, which resolution was pend
ing when the House adjourned.

Senate—Mr. Wellbome resumed his argument
this morning, in opposition to the question of re
consideration before the Senate, in regard to its

decision of the Conrt. and encourage their constitu
ents to do so; also, to carry out the views of Con
gress, the 14th amendment, and the acts known as
those of Reconstruction; also, recognizing the
equal rights of citizens irrespective of race, color or
political opinion; also, equality in the protection
afforded by law.
Mr. Holcombe followed in favor of the motion in
an able address, taking occasion to say that he was
actuated by pure motives when he voted to turn out
the negroes.
The motion to reconsider was lost. Yeas 15,

reconsider the resolution to immediately re-seat the

and unanimously adopted:
“Whereas, an assault has been made on the Gov
ernor by tho State Treasurer, based upon certain
financial transactions of Ids Excellency, in connec
tion with the fitting up of the State House, and the
action of the Governor was prompted by a high and
honorable motive, looking to the interest and digni
ty of the State, the convenience and comfort of the
Legislature; and whereas, Ida entire conduct in the
premises are sanctioned by numerous well estab
lished precedents, in various administrations past
therefore,
“Resolved, That we, as citizens of Georgia, deem
it proper on tills occasion to give expression to our
unabated and implicit confidence in the integrity of
tho Chief Magistrate of Georgia, and regret that the
Treasurer of the State should have made such un
just, unprovoked and unwarrantable attack on the
Governor, when a proper course on his part would
have satisfied 1dm of tho correctness and propriety
of the Governor’s course.”
Congressional.
Washington, February 9.—Senate—The Senate
discussed the amendment nntil half past eleven this
morning, and met again at twelve, voting down va
rious amendments to the original bill.
All day in the Senate was devoted to tho suffrage
amendment.
The Senate is still in session.

graph bill. In tho Supremo Court the case of Texas
vs. White Childs is progressing; It. C. Merryck is
advocating and arguing in favor of Texas.
Mr. Kerr spoke in opposition to tho postal rail
road to New York. He said this would soon extend
to telegraphs, insurance and canals, creating the
necessity for new bureaus and departments; with
them would come a fearful multiplication of offices
and clerks, and increasing swarms of corrupt and
infamous men, land thieves, subsidy' beggars,
swindlers, villainous contractors, operators and
speculators. Such characters would come, if they
did not even fill seats in the House of Representa
tives. This bill was only the pioneer with which to
break down all tho constitutional barriers and in
augurate a new polity.
The amendment forbidding the road to connect
with other roads now built was passed. Tho amend
ment extending the schedule time from 6 to 7 hours
was passed by 104 yeas to 61 nays. The bill was

CITY AFFAIRS
Paul Rook An Atlanta correspondent of
Journal & Messenger recalls to mind tho death <»f
Paul Rook, nearly a quarter of a century ago. An
the writer failed to stato the event correctly o:
plainly, we will do so.
In 1840, or 1841, he came to Macon and started a
gunsmith shop upon the exact spot where now
stands tho gun establishment of D. C. Hodgkins &
Son, Mulberry street. In 1844 the bouse was burned
down, together with all the stock and material of
the young man. .Vs soon aa be effected a settle
ment with the insurance company, he went to New
York for the purpose of purchasing a new stock and
out-fit. Tho remainder of the correspondents
statement is substantially correct: upon liis leaving
New York for borne, he missed the train at Baltic
more, was decoyed to a room near the depot by a
man named Murray or McCurray, who murdered and
robbed him during the night.
Tho Grand Lodge of the State was then in ses
sion at Baltimore. Upon tho body of Rook was
found a masonic diploma, showing that he belonged
to tho Lodge of United Brothers of Macon. The
Masons at once took charge of the corpse^ buried it
with imposing ceremony, and offered a reward of
one thousand dollars for the apprehension of the
murderer. Tho city Conncil of Baltimore also of
fered an additional reward of one thousand dollars.
The correspondent of the Journal gives the conclu
sion of the matter as follows:
“A distinguished detective, from Baltimore, went
to New York, and, putting himself in connection
with a New York detective, with an accurate de
scription of their man, they soon got on fcs track.
Thoy came upon him at one of the wharves as he
was about leaving for a foreign port. Upon being
approached, he of course denied any knowledge of
the case. The detective took a watch from his
pocket and opened it, finding the card of Ball,
Black & Co. in it. He took HcC. in a cab to the
jewelers, and asked them if they had ever seen tho
watch. They replied, “wo sold it last week to a
young jeweler from Macon, Lewis B." This was a
strong link in the chain of testimony, and the man
was carried back to Baltimore, tried, condemned
and executed.”

Marine Disasters.
New York, February 9.—The, brig Brilliant from
Capo Fear river, laden with rosin and turpentine,

Cotton States Lite Insurance Company.—This
company, recently organized in our city, has, wo
notice, applied to the Legislature for an amend
ment to their charter, to mako it imperative upon
them to deposit, in good securities, $100,000 with the
Comptroller General of the Stato, or with some
strong corporation for tho better security of policy
holders.
This company will commence tho business of life
insurance upon all tbo favorable plans adopted by
tbo leading insurance companies of tbo United
States, as soon qs the amendment to the charter
shall have passed. We understand, however, that
the business will be conducted mainly upon the
“joint stock” plan, which is considered the most fa
vorable for the policy holders. Insuring upon this
‘plan, tlio insured does not pay double tho premium
with the promise of half paid back in tho shape of
dividends after the expiration of two years; but ef
fects an insurance at a lower rate than upon any
other plan, and has no dividends. That is to say
He pays so much per year for so much insurance
upon lua life—subject to no contingencies.
It is needless for us to attempt to show our read
ers the benefits derived from life insurance. He who
does not provide for bis family by such a wise pro
vision, if in bis power to do so, is worse than a
heathen.
We are gratified that this company has been or
ganized in our midst, and by such men as are known
not only in our city but over tho whole State, as re
liable, competent and energetic citizens, possessing,
perhaps, as much wealth as the same number of
persons that could lie found in the State. Its offi
cers ars favorably known, not only as good men, fi
nancially, bnt well posted in all that pertains to life
insurance.
The authorized capital is $2,000,000
Guaranteed capital 500,000
Four hundred thousand dollars of its stock is al
ready subscribed, the balance will soon bo made up.
Tho present stockholders will t'ako the remainder
should not other parties apply.
The officers of tho company are: Wm. B. John
ston, President; Geo. S. Obear, Vice President and

The Towns Hotel, Albany.—Southwestern Geor
gia is proverbial for good hotels along the lines of
its railroads. Travelers universally praise them,
saying they aro the best in the State. Among them,
the Towns Hotel at Albany stands very prominently.
Albany is a great town anyhow, and this house ia a
feature tn it. We cordially commend it to the pub
lic traveling in that direction as ono of the best
houses we know of. There is neatness, comfort,
convenience and politeness throughout the whole
building. The houso and its furniture are new and
in modern style. Wo are pleased to know that it is
well patronized, and a general favorite with the Al

upon the person of a man named Mallory, was fined
on Monday $500, and in default of payment, to go

the hearing of motions and the conrt adjourned till
Saturday next, 9 o’clock, a. m.
The weather yesterday, over head, was really de

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
Weekly Review of the Market.
OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH, >
February 10—Evening, 1869. j
General Remarks Business, generally, has been
very good the past week, though it has beenrestrict-
ed on one or two days on account of the weather,
which was very bad. There is no material change to
note in the general market since our laBt weekly re
port. The demand for plantation supplies continues
active and the sales of the week have been quite
heavy. A moderate trade in dry goods, especially
in tho leading artides, has been done, but until tho
spring stock is received and opened this branch of
business will remain comparatively quiet
In stocks and bonds, there has been no change in
the tone of the market during the week. The de
mand continues good and is gradually growing bet
ter. Tho demand for Macon and Brunswick stock is
getting pretty strong and we have no doubt that it
will go to 50 cents before the middle of the summer.
Money continues easy,'and there ia an ample sup
ply for all legitimate business. We make a few cor
rections in our list of prices and quote:
