MAOON FRIDAY, JtTLY 9, 1869.
«Until He 'Proves Himself Inconi
petenfc.”
General Grant, in his interview with Clift,
{geo telegram,) says he is going to retain the
Macon Post Master “until he proves himself
incompetent” This rule of proceeding he has
avowed on all appointments, from Cabinet offi
cers down; and it is a good one, provided he has
taken all pains to determine the question of
competency so far as he can, before theap-
* pointment is made.
Bat it is a strange piece of business to make
the public service the sport of general experi
ments upon the question of competency. A wise
and cautious discretion is first to be exercised.
There must be every apparent indication of
competency and fitness. The appointee, by his
reputation, character and position among his
fellow-men—the display of parts and aptitudes
in kindred pursuits, must first justify a delibe
rate and well-informed judgment as to his com
petency.
An administration which cares for its own
reputation and success—the success of iteparty,
or the public welfare, will sedulously endeavor
to be represented everywhere—at home and
abroad—by the highest order of talent, char
acter and influence; and if, unfortunately, it is
misinformed, and misjudges, then let it apply
the correcting hand as soon as‘possible. No
President or party can command the respect or
confidence, even of the vulgar and debased
who fails to present itself to the people through
the most honorable, influential and respectable
agents it can command.
Post Office General Delivery.
Judging from our own experience, Macon is
now having what may indeed be well termed a
system of general post office delivery. Day be
fore yesterday a gentleman brought us two-thirds
of our newspaper mail which had strayed into
Ins box. Yesterday nearly one-half of our let
ters came in the shape of voluntary contribu
tions by outsiders, who had undesignedly been
placed in possession of them. These are times
in which the people must he neighborly. Pass
around the letters and documents until they get
into the right hands.
Since the foregoing we have received the fol
lowing, which demands the immediate attention
of the party concerned. "We do not know him.
Some of our readers may: '
Mr. Charles H. Freeman will receive a valua
ble letter by calling at T. W, Freeman’s, Cher-
ry street
“A House—Mr Kingdom foe a Hoese!”—
Mr. Huff sends us a complimentary ticket of free
access to the velocipede rink, and a gratuitous
use of his wooden steeds. 'When we ride
horse, let it be a mule, with four good, honest
feet, and a pious purpose to go straight along,
slow and easy—this side up with care. If we
are to ride a rail let other men propel it, and
don’t ask ns to' do it—this hot weather particu
larly. Oar corporeal dignity is too great to re
pose on any single inch base, and a summer
sault is no joke to one of our dimensions. Mr.
Half, considerations connected with personal
. safety, compel us to decline your invitation.

We think the prospects are that more than

New Yobk Tribune and the Gband Abut of

self credit by boldly denouncing the Grand
Axmynf the Repnblic so-called. He says:
• These men combine for political purposes.—
They propose to keep alive the wrath and bit
terness of that dreadful time. They mean to
control conventions and nominate men to office
—to perpetuate in onr civil system the bitterness
of war.
A Blow-out at Memphis.—There was a huri-
cane at Memphis last Wednesday. The storm
unroofed and otherwise injured some twenty
boil dings. In various portions of the city it blew
•down chimneys. A lady and three men are re
ported to have been drowned while crossing the
reiver in a skiff.
On and after the 1st July, the State of South

From nearly all sections, we learn that the

Murdered Res Adjudicate.
That is a honible felony of which Han. Alex

Res Adjudicate! Killed him hopelessly—shame
fully—ignominionsly. Nay,-worse than that.—
In a letter of half a column, this blood thirsty
man has slaughtered the entire family, of which
old Res was only an occasional and not a very
prominent member. We speak of the great
dodge family—a very keen shifty set of people
indeed: who never can be convinced that the
shadow must yield to the substance, or that ex
ceptions, demurrers, special pleadings ancl so
forth, are not as good in politics as they are in
law.
The Judge, we say, deals most remorselessly
with this whole crowd, and don’t leave one of
them alive. He states the case plainly, and
conclusively indicates what must be the policy
of the Democrats of Georgia, if they would
maintain self-respect, or the respect of the
people—if they would serve the State or them
selves. He shows what folly it will be to fight
the decision of our Supreme Court, affirming
the equal political rights and privileges of nearly
one-half our voting population, with the legal
tactics and quibbles by which justice is some
times delayed and defeated in a Magistrate’s
Court, and that there is only one true, manly,
candid, honorable and lawful way of dealing
with this question. We heartily commend his
letter to the reader. It may be fonnd on the

Northern Immigration.
Mr. J. R. Butts, who has just returned from
a general perambulation through the North and
East, reports a great change in the feeling about
Southern investments since ne was there a year
ago. Then the people would hardly listen to a
proposition to buy Southern property. Now,
they are all anxious to invest in the South, and
he says he knows of a number of parties who will
visit Georgia for that purpose very soon, while
the prospect of an active demand for Sonthem
investments next fall is very encouraging.—
While in New York he sought to interest Sena
tor Sprague, in some factory property in Geor
gia, and received the following note from him:
Providence, June 14, 1869.
Dear Sir: Your letter is receive A Itwillnot
be possible for me to enter into any new busi
ness enterprises at this time. If extending my
cotton manufacturing business at any time, I
should certainly go South for that purpose.
Truly yours, W. Sprague.
Jas. E. Butts, Esq., 46 Murray street, New
York.
Mr. Amasa Sprague also told him that he
(Mr. S.) regretted that all the vast manufactur
ing property of the firm was not located in the
South instead of the Northern States.
Mr. Butte says he feels a degree of confidence
in the financial future of the South which he
never felt before, at any time in her history.
A Compromise Proposition.
A highly intelligent friend in Atlanta drops
the jollowing suggestion. It had, in substance,
already been made by one of onr contempora
ries, and copied into others, but we presume
had not attracted his attention:
Atlanta, July 1, 1869.
Editors Telegraph: I approve and endorse,
in the main, the course of the Telegraph on
the “negro question.” “ The die is cast” The
question has been decided. The highest judi
cial tribunal of the State has, by a solemn judg
ment, declared the negro, under the Constitu
tion and laws of the State, eligible tooffice. From
thi3 decision there is no appeal. However re
pugnant to onr feelings and prejudices we must
row to the majesty of the law, as expounded by
the court of last resort.
The question now arises, in view of this de
cision of the Supreme court, what course shall
be adopted in reference to the negro members
expelled from the present Legislature ? Some
of our people are for restoring them, others op
posed. Some believe their restoration legal
and constitutional; others entertain a contrary
opinion. Our best and wisest men differ in
opinion npon the subject.
From present appearances, trouble in some
shape, may grow out of it to our people. To
him who desires to set the State once again up
on her feet, politically, the inquiry occurs, is
there no way in which this xexata queestio may
be solved satisfactorily to all parties ? I think
there is.
Let the members of the Legislature who were
admitted to seats, from which the negroes were
expelled, resign, and Gov. Bullock issue writs
of election to fill the vacancies thus created.
(Of course the Senator from Chatham is not
included.)
If these members and the Governor will co
operate upon this line it seems to me it would
settle an ugly question and perhaps save the
State from a second reconstruction process.
The practical point in the business is whether
the Governor will be willing to accept these
resignations, and to issue writs of election as
suggested ? Upon that point we know nothing,
but assume that the Governor, bolding the
original colored members duly elected and qual
ified, and the occupation of their seats by the
persons who received the next highest number
of votes, an act of usurpation, would not receive
the resignation of the latter, nor declare a new
election to fill vacancies which he alleges do not
legally exist. The straight way—the politic
way—the constitutional way—the sensible way—
the profitable and manly way out of this di
lemma is pointed out by Judge Speer, of Griffin.
In that way we ask no favors—we compromise
no principle—we sacrifice no pride in any just
or reasonable or sensible interpretation of the
matter.
Let Us Have Peace.—A Washington special
to the Louisville Journal says:
Politicians here from Virginia and Tennessee
have been very anxious to learn which side the
administration would take in the pending con
tests in these States where the two parties are Re
publican, one conservative and the other radi
cal. Several pilgrimages have been made here
from both sides, anda Republicannewspaper here
and one in New York have been in doubt which
ticket to approve until the President should in
dicate his views. The matter has been even
talked over in Cabinet councils, and Secretary
Boutwell declared that there could not be two
Republican parties in tnis country, and that
the one that was most radical • was deserving of
support. The President has backed this up by
declaring that be endorses Stokes in Tennessee,
and Wells in Virginia, and that the Federal pat
ronage shall be distributed accordingly.
This, if true, fixes the sympathies and influ
ence of the administration, beyond all doubt
or mistake, with the worst ultra radical faction
—a faction too ultra even for Broumlow! for
Brownlow supports Senter and the enfranchise
ment of the Tennessee whites, while Grant up
holds Stokes and perpetual disfranchisement.
The Fonrih or July.
The Atlanta New Era says:
The Fourth of July falling on Sunday, by
common consent, Monday, the Fifth; will be
observed as a holiday. The two National Banks
will be closed accordingly, and those having pa
per due on that day will pay on Saturday, the
same as if it fell due on Sunday. The Rolling
Mill, Railroad and other machine shops will ob
serve the same day.
That is our interpretation of the matter. We
shall take holiday Monday, and consequently,
the next Telegraph after Sunday morning’s edi
tion will be issued on Wednesday morning.

Correspondence of the Telegraph.]
Richmond, Texas, June 26, 1869,
Candidates for State officers, although the
election has not yet been ordered, are pretty
generally making known their aspirations
through that medium of universal intelligence,
the press, or “norating” their paramount
claims to the confidence of the people from the
stump. No danger but all the offices will find
incumbents, ready and willing to fill them, not
withstanding the weighty responsibilities and
perplexing cares which their discharge entails
on self-sacrificing patriots. ‘ xfc 1 *
General E. J. Davis (no kin to Jeff,,) is the
gubernatorial candidate of-^Jhat wing of the
Radical party desirous of defeating the ratifica
tion of the Constitution. General D. was an of
ficer in the Federal army during the war. He
was a citizen of Texas previous to the war:
Ex-Gov. Hamilton is the opposing Candidate,
and will be supported by moderate RepuHicans
and moderate Democrats who echo the senti
ment, “Letus have peace.” Itisnoteasytosay
from this standpoint which one stands the best
chance of success. In this portion of the State
the negro vote largely preponderates, and it is
feared that this vote will go for Davis, as many
of them belong to the Loyal Leagues. But, on
the other hand, I .learn from a gentleman from
the region of country around Waco, where the
preponderance is in favor of the whites, that
this class of all parties will vote for. Hamilton
and ratification.
Davis will hardly have the temeritv to c.an-
w.oa. ah a cut* —:u. xzauiuton. The General, in
a contest of that sort, in the hands of the Ex-
Governor, would be a mere child in the hands
of a giant. Few men in this, or any other coun
try, are capable of coping with Hamilton on the
hustings. As a popular speaker, he has few
equals.

of what it is in yours. A week ago I counted
ten bolls, and forty odd blooms and squares on

A Scandalous Imposition.
Fort Valley, Ga., June 29, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : Some time ago a man who
called himself Dr. Vi. T. Wallace, came to Fort
Valley, Georgia, pretending to be very skillful
in the cure of all manner of diseases. Having a
son who had been afflicted for some time with
rheumatism, and having exhausted all the med
ical skill conversant to me, I thought I would
give him a trial. He very readily took the case
in hand, and after getting the very last cent
which I possessed, and two chickens beside, in
a few days was off and gone to parts unknown.
He made a fair promise, that if he did not ef
fect a permanent cure upon my son that he
would refund the money.
I would not say a word about it, Mr. Editor,
but I am a poor man—my wife has to toil bard
in the burning summer’s sun to make bread for
ns to eat, and I want every one to know who
this notorious scoundrel is, so that others may
not be imposed upon. He has robbed me, my
wife and afflicted son of our money. He told
diabolical lies—and. in short, he has done, and
is mean enough to do, anything for money. Ho
calls himself the Indian Doctor, is about fire
feet, eight inches high, florid complexion, gray
eyes,. light hair,, and teeth project a little in
front. Any one who will take up this imposter,
and bring him to justice will confer a favor up
on a poor, blind man and an almost helpless
family. All papers friendly to the cause of hu
manity will please copy. A. W. Wall,

Mr. Wall is a gentleman in every sense, and
deserves the sympathy of alL J. L. Avant.
Furlow Masouic Female College.
The Sumter Republicaxuof Thursday contains
a voluminous report of the proceedings of the
Annual Commencement of Furlough Masonic
Female College at Americas. Ten young ladies
f>f the graduating class were represented in the
exercises. Miss Eoline Butts, of Dooly county,
took the first honor; Miss Fannie Scarbrough,
the second; and the valedibtory to Faculty and
Class was delivered by Miss Nellie Patterson, of
Americas. Sidney Lanier, Esq., of Macon, de
livered the oration, and the Repnblicanisays
of it:
The oration of Sidney Lanier, Esq., of Macon,
was elegant, forcible, eminently suggestive, and
eloquent. His theme, “ The Future of the
Land we Love,” was discussed in the spirit of
a broad and liberal minA which overleaps the
passions and prejudices of the present and in
tbe light of a noble Catholicism depicts the ris
ing glories of the true, the beautiful and the
good,-in the bright advancing future. There
was nothing of the politician, but all of tbe man
of principle and integrity, of lofty impulse and
knightly chivalry, in the "positions assumed and
thoughts spoken by this gifted son of Georgia.
The oration was the production of a cultivated
student, glowing with the lustre and fervor of a
strong and manly imagination.
Chinese Immigration in Memphis.
At a preliminary meeting for the purpose of
encouraging Chinese immigration, held at the
Chamber of Gommerce in Memphis Wednesday
afternoon, Charles Kortrecht presided. The
meeting was composed of the leading men of
this section of country. The following dispatch
was read by the Secretary:
San Francisco, June 30, 1869.
6. W. Gift, Memphis:—Does the meeting at
Memphis takes place on the 13th of July ? Ivaap-
mauschoop, principal Chinese importer, at
tend if your answer is favorable.
J. G. Eastland, . •
Captain Gift then moved, that a committee of
five be appointed to draft resolutions in refer
ence to the same, who reported a preamble set
ting forth the great need of labor in the South
west, and the difficulties encountered by land--
holders, and the following resolutions: .
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Meet
ing the best lnterests of the. South require that
all legitimate inducements shall be offered at
once to enconrege the emigration of Chinese la
borers in large numbers, direct from China, to
supply the great' demand now 'existing- in the
South for steady and reliable labor.
Resolved, That in order to accomplish this
purpose, a convention to consider questions and
mature a plan of co-operation be called to meet
at this place on the 13th of July, to be com
posed of delegates from all parfs of the South,
especially from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee,
and that each county, city and town in those
States, are hereby requested to send sucb dele
gates without waiting for written invitations to
do so. The meeting then adjourned.

LETTER FROM ALEXANDER M. SPEER.
Griffin, Ga., June 24, 186t
Gen." A."R. Weight--Dear Sir : YoiirsAf the
21st inst., inviting an opinion from me “upon
the effect of the decision of the Supreme Court
upon the status of the expelled members of the
present Legislature,” has been received.
Permit me to preface my reply with the re
mark that considerations alone, personal to you,
have induced me to make one. Thave no desire
to express, through the press, any political opin
ions ; neither do I suppose that I could influence
to any extent the action of t^e Legislature upon,
the question you propound Ay anything I might
write. ’ ‘ 1 , /'
Still, courtesy to you anda common desire
with you to see this quistion settled upon the - *
common basis of justice and law, forbids me
remaining silent under the call you have made
upon me. *v
Whether the recent decision made upon this
subject accords with our own views, should not,
in my judgment, influence the course we ought
to desire adopted by the Legislature.
I am candid to say that my opinion has been
that the Constitution adopted recently for the
State, conferred the right to. hold office , upon
the negro. Such were the views entertained by
most of the Democratic press of the State—-by
the leaders and organs of the party—and it
was made in the canvass one.of the most prom
inent objections to the adoption of that Consti
tution by tbe people. Were we sincere then, or
were we making an objection to a Constitution
we did not think well founded ? • I cannot be
lieve those who entertained those views then
were acting insincerely with the people in urg
ing an objection they did .not believe existed.
If these were our opinions then—and we so ex
pressed them—I cannot see with what consist
ency or propriety we can now complain, that
the decision sustains our opinions heretofore
o«)inmni. A majority ot the Legislature, How
ever, npon the question being made and dis
cussed, entertained different views, and by res
olution declared the colored members inel
igible—their seats were vacated, and the white
members admitteA
As might have been anticipated, this course
aroused the indignation of a large portion of the
Radical party, and it has been made tbe excuse
or groundwork for a determined and persistent
effort to place the State again under military
rule—have her civil government declared pro
visional and subject to the future action of Con
gross. M
It has been the means of excluding us from a
voice in the United States Senate, and has left
some of our members of the Lower House danc
ing attendance as lobby members vainly seek
ing admission to seats for which they had been
selected.
To break’the force of this storm the action of
the Legislature had raised against onr State they,
by joint resolution, agreed to submit the ques
tion of the eligibility of tbe negro to the Su
preme Court and alideits decision. This reso
lution passed both branches, and notwithstand
ing it met executive opposition, and is not now
a “legislative act,” yet, morally speaking, the
Legislature are bound to abide by their own
pledge. ' .. • ,
Honesty and self-respect, in my judgment,
leaves them no other alternative.
But apart from this, is not the Legislature
bound by the decision of the Supreme Court to
observe it and act upon it ?
It is claimed that the decision of the Legis
lature as to these members is l ‘res adjudicata."
1 do not understand that the nfle of “m
adjudicata” applies to legislative action.
The rule is applicable with all its vigor and
force to the Courts of the country—for the pol
icy of the law has been from time immemorial
to settle and quiet controversies between its
citizens—by tbe application of this role.
But not so with the Legislature. The same
session can review, modify, change or abrogate
entire its former action. How often have we
known again and again resolutions agreed to
modified subsequently, and finally rescinded.
There is a provision in the Constitution which
forbids the same Legislature (at the same ses
sion) “from proposing (unless with consent of
two-thirds) any bill, ordinance or resolution, in
tended to have the effect of law, which shall have
been rejected by either House.” But this does
not extend to bills, ordinances or resolutions
which have been passed or agreed to by either
House.
The whole question, then, is subject to the
action of the Legislature, and the rulo of “res
adjudicata” doc-s not apply.
And such has been the uniform action of leg
islative bodies. i ••
It has arisen in every case where a member
has been seated, and afterward, upon investiga
tion, declared ineligible. In sucb cases the
Journals show the member has been found qual
ified and sworn. Subsequent, investigation
shows him ineligible, and he is removeA And
yet, I have never heard the first action claimed
as res adjudicata, and plead as a bar to inves
tigation and removal. .
These negro members at the first organiza
tion were allowed to be swomin. Tbe Journals
show (I presume) they were declared qualified
and sworn as members. It was not claimed
that the question was res adjudicata when they
were put upon trial; why, then, claim it in be
half of those who took their places f
One other view and I am done. The Legisla
ture are the law-making power but they afe not
superior to law. As a body, they are bound by
the constitution and laws, as every Other body
or citizen, until modified or repealed. The con
stitution has established a tribunal for the con
struction of laws, where a controversy arises,
“The Supreme Court.” To its mandate we all
bow and give obedience. Shall it be said that
this body may obey or not as they choose ? I
hope not. It is not a proper example to estab
lish for pur people. If they have erred on a
question of law, and it has been so pronounced,
let them show their perfect obedience to to law,
by retracing their steps and conforming to the
law as expounded. • • • >)
It is true, obedience to lawin their case may
bring evil upon ns in one sense—it may foist
into office some utterly unfit and displace (as in
this case) others who are of priceless value to
our councils. But let us adhere to the old land
marks. Let ixs accord in a spirit of justice and
of obedience to law, every right the Constitu
tion confers upon the colorecfrace; it will be a
moral triumph over our feelings and prejudices
that will elevate the character of the Georgia
Legislature for political and personal integrity,
that in due time will bear the fruit of peace and
stability, and go far towards crushing out the
slanders upon us as a people. .
- Let not the Legislature rest upon a quibble
that belongs to the courts to justify a departure
from the broad path of justice and. right. If
reckless legislation and unwise results follow
this discision audits legal consequences, the
great majority of the white citizens of Georgia
are riot responsible, and in due time, intelligence
and worth and property will claim and take con
trol. : And we may then point with pride to this
period in our history—when, amid the clamors of
the thoughtless—the prejudices of race, and the
evil results that threatened onr State, the Legis
lature dared to do right. I am, very truly, your
friend, Alex. M. Speer.

menced offensive movements and has regained sev
eral important positions, and is master of the North
western portion of the island.

patches state that the Cubans are well organized,
and armed with approved weapons, are well provi
sioned and in good spirits.
