Cbikv Ju-tick Warkrr. —The appoint ment of Jndge Warner to the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, meeds the universal —everywhere as assurance of an intelligent and incorrupt ible administration of public justice. Exemplary .We are glad to see from the following in the Milledgeville Recorder that the Editorial fraternity at the old cap ital are exemplary people t It was a notable circumstance, at the Methodist prayer meeting, last Wednesday night, that six of the eight men present, were connected with the city press. The National Repnblican Convention wil' meet in Philadelphia on Wednsday the 6th of June next, for the purpose of nominating candidates for President and Vice-PresU dent. The basis of representation will be donble the number of Senators and Repres aentatives fiom each State and two del gales from each organized Territory. A RgMtNIBOENC* OF THE FAIR.— In th© Herald “personal 1 ' of Thursday last, the 18th instant, we find the following : Confidence* —lf the narty will return the watch, lost at the fair at Macon, Ga., last October, in good order, ho will receive a reward of SSO; and also a reward of SSO will be paid for the return of the pocketbook containing $l5O lost at same time. To be returned to 26 Chambers street, and no question asked. County Lines. —The Forsyth Advertiser protcstelh against species of legislation which makes maps impossible—burdens the people,and makes mischief in various other ways, as follows: The mania for changing county lines, that prevailed to such a fearful extent du ring the last session of the Legislature, has again broken out and bids fair to make small turnip patches of some of them, she measures are in some cases fought with a commendable tenacity for the old order of things, and in many cases are Big sally defeated. Nxw York Custom House Frauds*— One New Committee, nftw in Washington says that the time or auj?,*!. * n went has not been deterraioed.but says the Radical members are growing uneasy over the fearful load of corruption which is un cavlhod and has to be carried by Grant in the next election, it is not probable that • much longer story will be made. The opiuion is expressed that tho report of the committee will be not what people have a right to expect from the testimony. The miuoiity of the committee will give the true condition of affairs, aud will rely upon the conservative element of the Sen ate to aid them iu a genereal warfare upon corruption and tho securing of the reformat tiou so long needed. Th* Population of Europe.— Europe em braces an area of 3.800,000 square miles, and a population of over 300,000,000. The latter may be roughly classified by races as follows: Slavic race 82,200,000; Teuton ic race 93.500,000: Latin race 97,000,000. Besides these, the Turkish race proper num • ber about 6,000,000, and the Jews 5,000 000, The largestnational populations are Rus* aia 71,000,000: Germauy 40,000,000. France 86,500.000; Aostro Hungary 36,000,000# Great Britain 32,000,000; Italy 26,000,000* uhese six States embrace over four fifths of the entire population of the continent A century ago about th« time of the disrup tion of Poland those States coonted bn* half the population of Europe. Russia had Austria * W. 000,000; Prussia 000 000, or about its present popaUtmo- Euro P eanß are classed into 148, 000,01 0. Roman Catholics, 70,000 000 71,000,000, PrnUstanta. * \ REACTION. The people of the North, says the Chron icle & Sentinel, are becoming alive to the necessity of some action to stop the pro ; gress of centralization and Military rule- The late action of the Illinois. Legislature in the matter of the shooting of Col. Gros ▼enor at Chicago, by soldiers under the command of “Little Phil Sheridan, Lieu tenant General in the United States army, acting under the orders and afterwards re ceiving public official approbation from the Secretary of War in Grant’s Cabinet, furnishes an agreeable indication that rea son is reterning to the people of that State, if not to the people of Chicago, where' the crime was committed. The mat ter was taken before the Legislature, where it was referred to a special committee, and that committee has submitted a report fully endorsing and vindicating the action States troops as an armed police force, ♦without any solicitation from the State au thorities, and which unwarranted occupa tion resulted in the death of Grosvenor. — The report of the committee most fully denounces the bayonet rule inaugurated by the order of the President as an outrage* and shows that it was more provocative of “disturbance than conducive of good order.” The murder of Grosvenor is de nounced as a legitimate resnlt, calculated to follow the overthrow of civil govern ment, while the action of Governor Palmer m opposition to grave and aggressive as * sault upon the sovereignty of the ttate is fully endorsed and sustained. PRESIDNT GRANT AND SOCIAL EQUALITY. A delegation of negroes visited Presi dent Grant a few days ago, and requested that he should send a special message to Congress, asking th« passage of Sumner's amendment to the Amnesty bill now pen ding in the Senate. After hearing the views and statements of his sable friends, the President replied: “That he had no doubt that the colored people were deprived of some rights and privileges they had a clear claim. His Impression was that the recent amendments to the Constitution was that the recent amendments to the Constitution conferred upon them all the privileges of citizenship and he thought the Courts would accord all the legal rights withheld. With regard to amending the Amnesty bill by the edi tion of the supplementary Civil Rights bill, the President considered that such action would jeopardize the passage of an am «• his kao* ,t —>—« Sumei’s bill he believed it con’d lie passed on its merits as a eeperate measure.' President Grant thus implicitly approves the proposition of Mr. Sumner, enlorceing by act of C ingress the right of the negro to mix indiscriminately with the whites in all our churches, theatres and other places of amusement, school rooms, hotel, steam boats and railroad cars. This, we appre hend, will not strengthen him with his own party in the North, while at the South it will be met with almost universal condem nation. Almost a Crists in French Politics. In consequence of an adveise majority vote on the tiraflf tax question- in the As sembly on Monday, M. Theirs sent in his resignation as President. This operated like a bomb shell upon the public, and the oppositionists hastened to make the amende. A vote almost unanimous, B,x mem bers dissenting, refused accept his re signation and import'd M. Tniers to re taiu his posit h** l . Dispactbes to the New «--v Herald dated January 20th, p. m , annoenco that the President and his cabi net have withdrawn their resignations, and quiet has been restored. It was feared the Prussians would have reoccupied the departments, and remained until the war indemnity had all been paid. The cause of the whole embroglio, was the opposition to the President’s proposed taxon raw material for manufacturer. The Fiench Republic has already existed longer than any one could have believed. When will a change of masters taken place! Those who know that murcurioul people best, are prepared for a political convulsion at any moment. When it come 8 let us hope that the young Napoleon may again occupy and illustrate the imperial throne of the Bonaparte*, and command a lasting peace for his unhappy country. The Frenchman ueeds a kind master, but still a master he must have. Miserable Mexico —As usual, this petty power which is composed o! a mongrel pop illation mass of Mestizoes, mulattoes, In dians, Spaniard*, Americans and negroes# are fighting among themselves, in the inter est of Curtioa, Juarex, and heaven only knows who else. Anarchy and misrule are the order of the day in that fair portion of this continent, and with such materials to deal with we see no hope in the future. The unfortunate Maximillian was a kingly and uoble personage, and would have made agust and wise sovereign. But aee hismis erablc fate. At last, the astute Santa Anna is the sharpest they ever had, and they would do well tobriug the cock fighter opou the siege again if, indeed, he still eurrioes,. State at Large. i Newnan keeps on having her stubbing affairs.

Jackson and HenryJL. Bill yer, both members of the Legislature, had a personal rencontre the other day at the capitol.. Rose and Harry Watkins are in Atlanta. Mrs Oates is in Savannah, burlesquing to crowded houses. Foster Blodgett declines the appoint ment as a delagate to the National Repub lican Convention. The Industrial Association of Georgia — —*—•*■■■»-*. - Another man 0( j j n Savannah. Atlanta is to have her The jury in the case of L.

G* Cabaniss will be pleased to learn that he has been re-elected to the responsible po sition of auditor of the State Road. Judge C. is the right man in the right place. Macon is in perfect convulsions over her tunny goats. Judge B. F. Dense, of Maflon, is dead. It is reported that Judge Cole, of the Macon Circuit, is to be removed. Judge Lochrane, late Chief Justice of Georgia, lias been retained by Henry Clews & Cos., to preserft aid forward the claims of the latter against the Ft ate- Mr Jno. P. Dickinson, aid old citizen of Albany, is dead. Somebody, in a spirit of fun we suppose, pied the forms of the Atlanta New Era. The Macon Telegraph, of yesterday says: We heard a gentleman say, yesterday, that Col. Farrow made no secret'of mentioning some of the Democrats, so-called, who had affiliated with Bullock and Kimball in their wholesale robbery of the people's money . Fitzpatrick, too, has been snufling around* and promises rare revelations when the Presidential ba’l opens. These fellows had better sell their “bonds” even at a heavy discount, turn their fatjhorses and farms in to money, and take passage for Australia birds of their ownffeather,r r , and where roguery a premium. Take heed, gentlemen. Be sure your sin will find you out. The At anta Fun, of yesterday, says that on the day before A- L. Harris (com monly called “Fatty”) as Trustee for Julia E. Harris his wife, sued out an attachment against John Rice, late President of the National Bank. He made oath before Judge B. D. Smith, that Rice resides out of the State, and is indebted to him as Trustee, in the sum of $2,500, upon which Judge Smith issued the attachment, which was placed in the hands of J. P. Porter, L. C., and the same levid upon three print - ing presses and one paper cutter, of the New Era office. Perhaps this will bring to light the owner of the New Era, which Mr. Rockafellow was unable to ascertain before the Superior Court lately. Kimball's Financiering— -We learn that the Commercial Warehouse Company ol New. York bold !he foil* wing bonds, lef in their hands by H. I. Kimball, as collate ral security upon which they have made large advances, viz : SIBO,OOO gold bonds of the State, indor sed by Bullock and issued to the Bruns wick and Albany Railroad Company in ex change f.,r the second mortage bonds* $160,000 fust mortage bonds of the Car tersville and Van Wert Railroad, indorsed by Bollock. $240,000 second mortagebonds of the Car tersville and Van Wert or Cherokee Rail road. On these, as collateral security, the said Company have advanced to Kimball $205, 000 in cash. Their whole security is not worth a tithe of the mouey advanced. [Atlanta Sun. GO TO SLEEP. Many children* instead of being as plnmp and fresh as a peach, are'as wrinkled as last year's apple*, because they do not sleep enough. Some physicians think that bones grow only during *l* ep.—This we cannot say, certainty ; but we do know that tiiose little folks who sit up late uigbta are usually nervous, w» ak, small and b;ckL. The reason you need more sleep tliau your parents is, because you have to grow and they do not. Tiey can use up the food they eat in thinking, talking and walking, while yon should save some us yorirs for growing. Yon ought to sleep a great deal if you do not you will iu activity consume all you eat,and have uone.or not enough* to grow with. Very few clever children excel, or even equal other people wheu they grow tip* Why is this? Because their heads, if Dot their bodies are kept too busy* so that they cannot sleep, rest aud grow Strung in bod/ and brain. BYMPTONS OF a KILKENNY CAT FIGHT IN GEORGIA. We bear sundry sounds, and see divers signs of a regular Kilkeoy c|it figbt among that frazzled out faction that still calls itself the Republican party of Georgia. Its leas ders having all been choked off from the State Treasury are as mad as houest ‘spil lin* fora shindy. One fag end says it was the fault of the other, and the latter retorts *you‘re another, and spits on its hands for a regular ‘rnption.* Il‘s the old story of rogues falling out and wanting to cut each others throats because they see honest men com'ngto their own. We contemplate the spectacle with the serenest satisfaction, and cry‘Sic him‘ Tige—“go in“ Towze r with the most rigid impartiality. We are sore the people of Georgia will join us in the hope that the contest may go on until there is nothing left of the unsavory combattanls —not even so much as there was of the famous cats aforesaW. They have both had their whack at our pockets and our liberties, and we have uever found there was any great difference in their greed, there insolence, and unmitigated nieam™* The only diatinCtion we ~*nld ever see was that, while one robbed and outraged with smooth speech and some re spect to ontward appearances, the other went at the business without a blush or pretence. They were mffling, ewagging bandits who made no secret of their trade- If there is any 6uch thing as a future for Georgia Radicalism we can’t see it. It was only kept alive by largesse from the Na tional and State treasuries, and unlimited lieeufc to loot. The former source prom ises very poorly, hereafter, and as to lat ter—a« the French says: nous avows change tout cela. The plundered are on their feet again, in Georgia, and with their hands untied, If there ever was a slim prospect for developing, it is now in this redeemed old Commonwealth. We might feel some pity for the scurvy knaves if they had ever treated their vic tims with even decent respect. But they never did, so we are glad to know that they must, work or starve. They and their masters North had a deal to say to Tam • many roguery roiling it as a sweet morsel under their clacking tongues. Now they probably “know how it is themselves.’ They have had a loftier tumble than even Tammany, and must hereafter content themseles with a hand to mouth existence if indeed they have vitality enough left to cal! themselves first class paralytics. Andien messieurs les brigands, and may you all soon safelv rest in yonr paternal halls! Praiseworthy' —When a young man b of such rare occurrence -that we love to record it How many young men who ought, to do better and who could, were they not ashamed of hard hands and tanned skin, have betaken themselvrs to the gaming table or loa f around our ftree's do ing nothing, sponging upon fiiernls and relatives for something 10 eat and wear. But there is or.e young man in Macon who is not ashamed of work. He was raised in good cireumetances and received a liberal education. The fortunes of war left him penniless, and at its close but fifteen years of age. Since that time he has alternately labored and gone to school, giving all the sin plus money he had, which was hut a mite, to he sure, to bis ris ters who were as poor rs himself. Thinking that* he hid scored a position iB Macon he came here a few weeks ago, but upon reaching the city found that he had made a failure. After looking' about the city found that he had made a failure. Aifer looking nothing to do he made arrangements with a gentleman who had the means, to furnish him with a dray and has accordingly gone to work drivng his dray for a livelihood. We have known him from boyhood and know him to be perfectly honest and trustworthy. He is a young man of fine sense and pleasing address, and though inex perienced in business, will doubtless; one day, stand far ahead of many who to-day are behind* the counter commanding just barely sufficient salary to eke out a living. Such young men are worthy of patronage and until something better turns up, we hope our business men will show their appie ciation of such merit by throwing into his hands all the drayage they possibly can. Will they not Macon Telegraph. The Cosraopolitic says the President, in overlooking retains, should not overlook ours with Spain.
