MACON FRIDAY, JULY 23, I860.
The Turner Examination.
The decision of the examining Court in this
case, it will be seen, was deferred again yester
day till this morning, when new testimony for
the defence from abroad is expected to be pro
duced. One of these witnesses is reported
among outsiders to be Marian Harris, the re
ported paramour and accomplice of Turner.
Rumors among outsiders are to the effect that
thl case has assumed the aspect of a party fight;
but as the whole of it, from beginning to end, is
confined to the so-cnlled Republican family—as
the crime—the arrest—the prosecution and the
witnesses, (exoept a feeble attempt to lug in
outsiders who know nothing about the matter)
are oonfined to members of the Radical party,
we see no nse of making the case of Turner
a of party championship, except itmighi
be to sare the shame and mortification of an
unfit appointment; and this cannot be done.
That point is settled, and it will be well for the
powers that be not to make a fight on any
suchissne. It is one of those subjects which
will not bear stirring. However, we shall see
what we shall see.

Heat in Savannah.—The Morning News and
Daily Advertiser having stated that the mercu
ry last week rose to 105, a correspondent of the
Republican says it was only ninety-eight under
fairer tests, and the Republican says it was only
ninoty-six, and ninety-fonr in some places in
his office—and thinks that was below some
plaoes in the interior. We do not think Ma
con has reported so high as three figures yet,
and all our Macon readers say our reports are
regularly two or three degrees above the mar
ket In the “heated term’’ of last week it was
warmer in all, or very nearly all, the Northern
and Western cities than in Macon, or most
other places in Georgia.
Woman Suffrage.—Another convention of the
advocates of woman suffrage was held at Sarato
ga last Thursday, where there were much speak
ing by the gentle sex. The president, Mrs. Gage,
called upon delegates to give in their Christian
names—not their husbands’ names. Mrs. Mor
ton contended that women could do military
duty, and the cause of the North would have
been hopelessly lost in the field, bnt for the wo
men. We know it has been a case long settled
by the Radicals that the Union cause would have
been lost bnt for the negroes.
Tbeabury Reports.—The Treasury officials
are confident that the continued comparatively
low disbursements, combined with the large re
ceipts from customs and internal revenue, will
have the effect of making another highly favora
ble exhibit in the next pnblie debt statement—
Gold and currency balances are still very heavy,
the former being over seventy million, and the
latter thirty-six million. Since the first of the
month, receipts from customs have been $7,034,-
000, and from internal revenue $20,282,000.
The French Cable.—St. Pierre and Miquelon
are two islands south of Newfoundland, with an
area of 106 square miles, and constituting the
sole remaining French possessions in’North
America. On a fine beach connecting these
two islands, the French Trans-Atlantic cable is
brought sshoro—thence across Fortune Bay to
Newfoundland. At this moment we see no evi
dence pro or con that the cable is in working
order.
A Wetctno.—At high noon to-day (Monday,)
we have a glorious promise of a wetting—a good
substantial soaking. A heavy squall from the
Southwest has given the horizon such a leaden
canopy mt clouds as has not been seen in this
region for weeks. It looks far more like a gene
ral rain than common, but all signs fail in dry
times. Later—and so failed these 1
Vichy Water.—L. W. Hunt & Co., have the
genuine Vichy water in bottles—from the cele
brated French Spring of that name. There is
no donbt that it is gonuine. It resembles Con
gress water a good deal. Is charged to about
the same extent with carbonic acid gas and is
perhaps a little less saline in taste.
Extraordinary Passage—The Cunard steam
er Russia, Captain Lott, made the last ontward
trip in seven days, twenty-one hours and twenty
minntes, deducting four hours and ten minutes
difference in longitude. This is the quickest
trip across the Atlantic ever known.

The State Fair.
We hear that some of our citizens object to
the site chosen for the State Fair, as too distant
from' town, and, on that account, less likely to
benefit the trade of the city than if it were more
contiguous. The great point with every body
interested in Macon should be to secure the very
best locality and accommodations for the exhi
bition, and when that is done, the best has been
done for all interests. But the truth is, the
site of the Fair will be nearer town than any
State Fair we know of—in point of distance
We can at this moment call to mind no similar
site of a State Fair which is not at a greater dis
tance from town than this one.
But what, (so far as all practical purposes are
concerned) constitutes remoteness or nearness
in the locality of such an exhibition ? It is sim-
ply convenience and cheapness of transportation.
Measured by this rule, the site proposed leaves
little to be desired. The distance there will be
accomplished in ten minntes and at a cost of ten
or fifteen cents. With a train plying back and
forth every half hour, the distance of two miles
will be so easily and cheaply surmounted, that
we have no donbt it will be rather an attraction
than a hindrance. It will be a pleasant ride
which town people and visitors will oertainly
feel to be at least no obstacle to as frequent al
ienations of place as they would make if it were
but a quarter of a mile by highway.
On the other hand by carriage, the distance,
a mile and a half, ia sot greater than would
constitute a pleasant drive, and it Is over a road
which seems to be the most popular as a car
riage drive. When one is at pains to go by
carriage a distance of less than this would
hardly pay for the trouble and expense of pre
paration. Wo think it clear that the site in
question is absolutely preferable, in respect to
convenience of access to any one half a milo
distant and not to be reached by railway. We
hope, therefore, that all who have formed im
pressions unfavorable to the locality selected,
will think over these suggestions and examine
for themselves the building and grounds. If
thoy will do this, we believe they will be fully
satisfied with the decision of the Executive
Committee.
The truth is, Macon may just as well divest
herself at once of all fear there will not be peo
ple enough within her corporate limits, and pre
pare to do her utmost to accommodate those
who will come. The accommodations for tran
sient visitors in a town of this size are, of
course, somewhat limited. A thousand will
strain hotel capacity—that is to say, a thousand
more than ordinary. But wo have to provide
for many thousand, and it is going to tax all the
capacity of the people—public and private—to
provide for the pressure. There is but one
right course in this business, and that is to take
hold of it man fashion—back the Executive
Committee to the utmost, and determine that
Macon shall have no reason to blush for any
failures or short comings on that occasion.

The matters which engage a Georgia Editor’s
attention just now are multiform and various.

The Southwestern Railroad.
Macon, Ga., Jnly 17, 1869.
Editors Telegraph: Having noticed the re
marks of your senior, called forth by my article
captioned “The Obligations of the Southwestern
Railroad to the City of Macon,” published in to
day’s issue of the Telegraph, I desire to pro
pound the following questions to him, and hope
he will, for the time, lay aside his partiality for
Macon, and his prejudices against anything that
may, in the least, work to the detriment c-f her
interest, come square np to the interrogatories
and answer them upbiasedly and folly.
Has Macon, as a patron of the Southwestern
Railroad, any balance against said company for
patronage furnished ? Has not said comp
folly repaid in service said patronage ? W<
the people of Macon, because of service here
tofore rendered them, for which they paid the
price asked, feel under obligation to continue
their patronage to this company if they found
it was to their interest to transfer it ? In other
words, would they continue to ship by this line
if they could find a cheaper, because of the ob
ligation you suggest ? Why did Macon vote
$100,000 to be applied to the construction of
the Macon and Augusta Railroad ? Did she not
do it in the hope that the completion of this
competing line wonld force the reduction of
tariffs npon goods which she now ships and re
ceives by the Central Railroad ? Why are the
people of Macon so jnbilant over the prob
able early completion of the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad? Is it not, in part,
because said Railroad opens another line
to and from the Atlantic, and enters the
field as a competitor against the Central Rail
road and will thus serve as a check against high
or perhaps over remunerative! tolls on said
road? Does not the same obligation suggested
by you as existing-between the people of Macon
and the Southwestern Railroad exist also be
tween Macon and the Central Railroad ? When
the competing lines mentioned above are fin
ished, and offer lower tariffs to Macon than the
Central Railroad, will she so far respect this ob
ligation as to continue her pntronage to said
Railroad? Is not “a rule that won’t work both
ways” a “bad one” ? Is it fair, is it equitable,
to expect these companies—the Central Railroad
and the Southwestern Railroad—whose interests
have so long been nearly identical—whose for
tunes are now cast together, merely in respect
to the obligations to which you refer, lend their
energies and capital to the good of Macon, if
snch disposition of them should work to the
detriment of their own interests ?
Now I have to say that I am not an advocate
of discriminating tariffs against Macon as a just
reward for her coarse toward the Southwestern
Railroad in its incipiency. Furthermore, I will
assume the responsibility to say that no such
prejudice is entertained by the company, and if
any discrimination is made it will be only such
as will be forced by arising competition. The
consolidated enterprise only desires a fair re
muneration for their capital, and they are clear
ly justifiable in fixing rates so as to secure it,
though it may operate, in a measure, against
this place or that point Cras.
From Houston County.
Houston, July 16, 1869.
Editors Tdegraph:—As one of your subscri
bers, I desire*to express my approval of the re
cent political course of yoar paper. Your views
are sensible and comprehensive. Virginia has
recently acted on substantially the same views,
and the result is, she has achieved her first po
litical triumph since the war.
I am pleased, also, with the interest you man
ifest in agriculture. The great agricultural
want of the cotton States is the weekly publica
tion of the proceedings and discussions of an in
telligent, practical Farmer's Club. Cannot Ma
con and Bibb county furnish the Club ? And
cannot yonr paper give the public the benefit of
its proceedings? If so, your subscription list
wonld be largely increased. In this county the
rains have been very partial. In some neigh
borhoods drought prevails—in others crops are
very good. Drought.

A Horrid Scene.
Among the details of the late accident on the
Erie Railroad are the following:
Mr. Gibson, a passenger, says of the burning
of the smoking car, that in it, wedged in his

Mr. Halleck, of New York City, perfectly unhurt,
bnt unable to extricate himself from the wreck.

when we in like manner found the heat unbear

We get plenty of personal appeals of this
kind, which are gratifying inasmuch as they
illustrate the great degree of attention Georgia
is just now attracting among the Northern peo
ple ; and we tell our readers this feeling has
only jnst began. We respond to all snch calls
for information to the fullest extent practicable,
bnt they are sometimes too numerous to permit
answer by letter. The inquiries in reference
to lands are so great that our attention has been
attracted to the matter of digesting a method by
which buyers and sellers conld be placed in
ready communication. As to the opportunities
for industrious young men to prosper in the
South and to become rich, they are as numer
ous as twenty acre lots. It is trne we have
plenty of poor young men here—young men out
of employment and waiting for something to
turn np. But they are of the sort who don’t
like work. Every young man willing to pay the
price of wealth in energetic htbor and economy

poses.
From Columbus.
The Enquirer, of Sunday, says the late mins
were veiy partial; while this particular section
ha3 been favored with frequent and copious
ahoweis, our neighbors bnt a few miles distant
have had but little, and many of them have
crops that are now suffering from drought. The
Sun of Saturday has the following:
Bilious Fever.—There are numerous cases
of this pestful disease around Columbus just

confine them many days, bnt it is sufficiently

fell about 3 p. m. The thermometer at Spear's
store, at no time of the day, indicated higher
than 91 degrees, and at 5 p. m., the mercury
had fallen to 88 degrees. The stock of cotton in
Columbus is now less than at any time since the
war.

CoL J. W. Booth, of the Winona (Mississippi)

Dronslit In Laurens.
Laurens Cotnty, Ga., Jnly 1C, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : I propose to offer you a
few facts in regard to the agricultural interest
of this, the northern portion of this county.
The spring was unusually cold, which gave
crops a little start. But good stands were ob
tained and the light rains and pleasant weathor
enabled planters to cultivate their crops with
unusual care, a3 the land was neither too wet
nor too dry, and in this fine case it brought
crops up to the 20th of Jane in as fine condition
as heart could wish.
About this date the soil became dry, and since
the snbsoil has been exhausted of all moisture.
We have not had enough rain since our crops
were planted to pudde in the plowman’s track.
The present condition of our crops, ‘“upon
which has been spent all our cash capital and a
large share of onr credit, and much labor,” has
blasted our fond hopes of a remuneration even
baring the cotton speculator, caterpillar and tax
gather.
Taking all these things into consideration, it
requires more genuine religion, fortitude and
courage than most men have to refrain from
repining when the premises are viewed with a
true prospective light.
Our cotton has wilted, withered and aborted.
Com is dying in the field. Grass is almost dry
enough to burn, and old brindle no longer fill*
Dinah’s cup from the lacteal fountain.
Enough! enough, Mr. Editor. I can write
no more.
The above is a true statement of facts within
an area of 15x25 miles in diameter. There are

Editors Telegraph: Not having seen any
thing lately in your paper in regard to the crops
in this section of Sonthwestem Georgia, I feel
it my duty to inform the readers of the Tele

a better prospect for an abnndant yield, than
at present. On a visit to Albany a few days
ago I noticed particularly the crops of Mr. T.
M. Cherry and Col. Robert J. Bacon, and I
must cheerfully say I never saw better in all my
life. We ore still having plenty of rain, and the
freedmen are working well to keep out of the

A Colored Justice of the Peace fu

The Savannah Republican says that “it will
bo seen by reference to its report of the pro
ceedings of the City Court, that King Solomon
Thomas, colored, who was recently commission
ed by Governor Bullock as a Justice of the
Peace for the Fourth Militia District, has been
indicted for malpractice in office. It is alleged
that some two weeks ago he issued a warrant,
charging one Charles Edward Thorpe, a mulatto,
witji the offence of perjury. Thorpe gave bonds
for his appearance for examination upon the
charge in two days after his arrest, and paid
costs amounting to eight dollars. On the day
before the examination was to be held Thorpe
paid him fifteen dollars, and the case was dis

A Chinaman’s Speech
During the second day's proceedings of the
Memphis Convention, one that has been largely
attended, and whioh has excited great interest
among the cotton planters and railroad contrac
tors in the States borderingon the Mississippi and
tributaries, two Chinese gentlemen were intro
duced to and addressed the Convention. Without
comment—save to remark that we are not yet
prepared to endorse the policy of introducing
Chinese labor into the Sonth to supplant negro
labor—having some misgivings as to its sound
ness, and fears in regard to the nltimate bene
fits which those who favor it calculate so confi
dently upon—we publish the reported speeches
of these two Chinamen as a matter of curiosity,
believing they will interest and be acceptable to
our readers.—Atlanta Intelligencer.
. * 'j ADDRESS OF TYE KTM ORB.
Tye KymOrr, a live Chinaman, dressed in
American summer fashion7and without the in
evitable “tail,” but with the unmistakable Chi
nese features and color, and bright olive eyes,
oncoming forward, received a hearty reception.
He spoke in brdken English, and, in the course
of his remarks, which displayed considerable
shrewdness, he said that he thought that it was
a very great privilege to be allowed to address
them. He did not know till Sunday that he
was coming here, when Mr. Greenwood told him
he wanted him to go to Memphis. He was a
“Chinese,” [laughter] himself, but he left Chi
na in 1863, and since that time he has been in
the West India Islands, and seen a great many
of his countrymen at work, and he could tell
them much regarding them. The emancipation
in the West India Islands, he understood, took
place in 1830, and the colored people became
very lazy, and then they got laborers fron) In
dia and China, and they were now in large
numbers in British Guiana, St. Vincent, Trini
dad, Gaudaloupo, Cuba and other places. They
are all heatheus, as the gentleman from Missis
sippi said. [Laughter.] But, then, there is
the more necessif
ty to christianize them. [Laugh
ter.] You say “Come over and help ns," and
. »y _
plause.] They are ready to till tfie fields, to
build roads and to be the brothers of the people
here, and therefore the people of the South may
be the means of turning them from infidelity to
Christianity, as he had been. Although pagans
in regard to religion, they were docile, obedient
and affectionate, and would do anything for
those who were kind to them. If they were
only talked to kindly they were never tired of
doing something for “massa,” as they called
him. In reply to sundry questions, Tye replied
that, although not so strong as the white people,
they could do a great deal of work. He warned
the people of the South in regard to bringing
the Chinese here indiscriminately, and when
this was done in the West Indies, nothing bnt
misery had followed. Agents had sent there by
the wholesale, the good and the bad, the indus
trious and the lazy, and the worthless. If. they
wanted to get good hands they most go into the
interior of the country, and especially avoid the
“town rats,” who were to be found in the cities.
These “town rats” left the country on specula
tion to see foreign countries, and would not
work when they got here.
Barbers, shoemakers and tailors were not
wanted, asd they must steer clear of specula
tors, as they only worked for a per centage. He
contended that the Chinose were generally faith
ful to their contracts, and few of the laborers
were opium smokers, as opium was a luxury
like champaigns in this country. Their food
was principally rice, salt fish and vegetables,
which they raised themselves. He thought if
they wanted good Chinamen brought to the
South, they ought to send some good trusty man
to China, who would go two or three hundred
mile3 into the interior, and pick out field hands,
and he felt sure nineteen-twentieths would turn
out well. He said they generally made con
tracts for about five years, and the best place
to get them from was the Southern part of
China, in the Provinces of Canton and Amoor.
If any of them brought their wives with them
they would also work in the fields, for it was
only in the cities that women had small feet.
[Laughter.]
He went on to remark that field laborers were
about the middle size, and worked best under a
Chinese overseer, with a white superintendent.
Their pay was about $15 per months, while the
overseer got $20 or $25. They were willing to
do anything, and were not treacherous or vici
ous. Very few were fond of liquors, and they
don’t like whisky. He only knew one who liked
whisky and he only took one drink every Sunday.
[Laughter.] They got along with the white
people very well, but when brought into contact
with the negroes they sometimes fight, and the
negroes being stronger get the better of them.
He said they were well acquainted with all
kinds of farm work, and would soon learn to do
any kind of work on a cotton plantation, as they
were very imitative, and always tried to do what
they were told, besides being docile and quiet.
He hoped that those present would put no faith
in speculators who traded in Chinese to make
money only, and then retired amid applause.

A Buinbridge correspondent of the Savannah
Republican says:
In this immediate section every one seems to
have come to the conclusion that the salvation
of the country depends npon his own individual
exertions, and to work they have gone with a
hearty good will. Hence, we rarely see a young
man of good constitution loafing around the
street comers, waiting for something to turn
up,” so that they may obtain light employment
in the shade. It is no uncommon thing to wit
ness on our plantations young men plowing,
hoeing, and performing other laborious duty,
who, previous to the war, craved no earthly
comfort they conld not enjoy. Nor is this con
fined to the young alone. The middle-aged,
and even those whose heads have become hoary
from “frosts of many winters,” are lending a
helping hand in the development of our agricul
tural resources. There are those, too, who a
few years ago counted their wealth by the thou
sands.
The negroes also have imbibed the same
spirit, and I have frequently heard employers
say they work as well as they did during the
days of slavery. The consequence is, they are
jovial, light-hearted and happy, and the fields
and forests resound with the melody of the old
plantation songs. There are few vagrants, less
thieving, and a decided improvement in their
moral condition, as is fully attested by the re
cords of our criminal courts. Now let the plan
ters, at the end of the year, deal fairly with
them, and convince them, nolens volens, that the
Southern white man is their best and truest
friend, and from him alone may they expect to
obtain all their rights.

by the resignation of General L. G. Estes. The
contest is the most bitter ever known in the liistoiy

ers of one faction, in a speech to-day, predicted
that there would be bloodshed before the campaign
is over. This is entirely a family quarrel, in which
Conservatives and Democrats take no part, and
will run no candidate. The most extreme wing of
the Radical party, led by George T. French, and
other Northern whites, nominated a negro candi
date ; the other faction, composed almost entirely
of negroes, nominated a white candidate. It has
been found necessary to station a strong police

A^nrtT. Navigation.—So certain are the Cali

been solved by the machine that has just been
invented in San Francisco, that one of the pa
pers positively announces; “Within fonr weeks
the first serial steam carriage, capable of con
veying six persons, and propelled at a rate ex
ceeding the minimum speed of thirty miles an
hour, will wing its flight over the Sierra Nevada
on its way to New York and other remote parts.”
This announcement was made on June 26th, and
we may, therefore, soon look for the appear
ance of the great ferial steam carriage. When
we see it, we shall begin to believe that the San
Francisco paper knows what it means by saying:
“Within a year we shall travel habitually to New
York, Europe and China by serial carriages.”
