Macon, Ga., Janmuy 18.— The re of the Constitution that the affairs of the Covington and Macon railroad has assumed a most novel position, hunted up one who is familiar with all the affairs of the road. ‘ In reply to his question, How is the winding up of matters of the Covington and Macon pro g | ’ ess ' n S ! ‘ l ‘ lC answer was: “The Covington and Macon matter took quite * a now turn this morning.

Machen be enjoined from making any settlement, except in the way suggested by them, the attorneys. So now it is not the question between debtor and tor, because they havo agreed, but it is whether tho lawyer will trol his client or the client his law yer. “This most remarkable and pe culiar feature is entirely new. The proposition was made four months ago, in the beginning of the suit, and submitted to the attorneys the road. This proposition was de clined by the attorneys and,as stated by the creditors, But without letting them see it. when they did Ivarofit, determined it was so satisfactory settle that they to upon that basis, and about accordingly brought a movement among them selves, independent resulted of their attor neys, and it in a lot mid proposition being submitted to Mach on, which was uncoupled by him and was ratified by the creditors unani mously in their individual capacity. ‘‘Machen presented himself here, in Macon, with the money to make the settlement in advance of the time stipulated, with and petition the attorneys now come in a asking that he be restrained from having any dealings that did not embrace them. “The most novel feature of llio whole case is this, that the same attorneys brought the case into on u statement of insolvency, and claiming that of they were acting in the capacity protectors and de fenders of the poor creditors. r Fhe company having demonstrated ability to meet all of its and it desires to do, the same torneys now appear in court iu rect nntagon ism to the wishes the clients, who want nothing the money that is duo them.” From the able array of guished attorneys, it would that there was something more hind this movement than the desire to protect the poor clients.

Y., has originated the erticiist deception of the holiday season, and one calculated to evoke mild profanity on the part of the victim. A paper sack is filled with shavings, and a pair of turkey’s legs are then tied in the mouth of the suck and the seductive fraud scut to the victim. It is funny, but ex asperating.
