Why not wipe out all etato lines and let tbs federal gov. eminent provide in a parental way the food, olotbing and education of all tbe people ? Col. W. T.

Tbe Macon Telegraph very time- ly rises up and remarks that "can didates for tho Legislature should pnbllsli tbeir views so questions of present interest in the State.

Such a statement aa tliia is simply an uninjuatlfiable exaggeration , of a atata of afialra that la-no'dbnbt The pedestal being erected on Bed toe’s Island, in Now York Bay, for the Bartholdi atatue is not pro. greasing very rapidly, but the esti mates of its cost are growing day by day. It was at first estimated that the pedestal oould be built aud tbe statue placet! in position for $350,000. The committee in charge of the work has only sue- , ceedcil in raising $140,000 Irom all sources, and work done so far has -cost $10,000. Now ihey say the .granite alone fur the whule struct ure will cost $380,000, tbe concrete $30,000 more, and the laying o( the stone $00,000, not to mention oilier items of im|Nirtancv. Thu great increase in the estimates it enough to throw suspicion on the managers of the atlnlr, and contributions to complete tho work will not flow in if tbe idea gets abroad that some big jobs are being worked out of tbetond. Tho country will demand a dean showing in this business. On tbe local page will be laund a 'communication from an Eye Wit ness ortho proceedings of the ltc> publican Congressional Convention, and from bia account there was a very pretty little fight between two factions aa to who should repre sent this district in the national convention. While the white Bad. icals wen fighting, «be colored brethren slipped in and nut oft with tbe bona of contention. Col. Brown and Mgj. Brimberry both wanted to be delegates, and both claim a victory because the other did not it. Altogether U it very funny to the Democrats, who have no rqpaoa to Csar as long aa their op- poeeuta an fighting, and we are free to confess that wa ere glad Major Brimberry was defeated, for if the organization of the district such momentous culmination. Tbe whole difficulty baa been fully ex plained in lira special pispatobss to the Constitution. John F. Clark; a negro tramp from Keutueky; whose actions cannot bs explained on any reasonable theory If be Is not a raving lunatic. Clark baa boon going about tbe State preaching a race war. Ha It more furious aud fanatical than a aholk of tbo desert, and hla speech ea are no doubt calculated to exer- else an undue Influence ovor evil, mluded and Igri'.rant negroes. He declares that General Grant has loaned bim immense sums of money, aud that an army in mar Idng to the aid of the downtrodden negroes. In some sections he baa induced tbe negro laborers to strike for bigber wages, and bin lismi'giw* have treated considerable dLcon* tent. He has gone torn Baldwin county into Washington county, but thua far lie has escaped arrest. Clark lias no doubt duped many negroes into believing that he Is a person of some importance, but the sensible negroes see and feel that ba Is either a knave or a fool and that bis incendiary harangue*, if they have any influence nt all, can only lead to trouble. In Sanders* villa one day last week the negroes held a public meeting and |taased resolutions severely denouncing Clark and advising their race to have nothing to do with him; and the Constitution 1ms received a din* patch from Mayor Rodgers, of Sanduravitle, in which hv stales that no trouble is anticipated there, the ammunition having been order ed out ot nlnimlnid caution. The remedy for such kimvcn or TooIh us Clark Is not powder and shot, but tho clmingang. There can hu no worse enemy of the ne gro race than the person who makes nn eftort to disturb the ami- cable relations that now exist lie- tween it auil tho white race.

At hi* residence, near Ibis place, on 38tli Inst., Mrs. Sallie Nelson, au aged and widowed lady, who was drooping under the pressure of old age, died suddenly of a con gestive chill.

Walker, that renowned and worthy school teacher, who boa been leaching a large and in- tercsting school nt St. John’s Acad- cmy, ended his school on the night of the 38th, with a nice concert. Prof. Walker is a humorous aud jolly fellow, and is the “highest’’ school teacher in Macon county, which, of course, renders him suc cessful in his profession. As it justly deserves it, I must speak a few words in regard to the concert. At (even o'clock the house was thronged with the patrons of tbe school, whoso pleasant smile* indi cated that they appreciated their school. Presently the curtains were raised and the sweet, loving and soft melodies of the feminine voices rang in tbe ears of the spectators singing the “opening" song. Next were the "Twelve Months," acted by twelve pupils, which created much laughter and considerable cheering. Next wee played "School Boy” wbiob was * success. Next was a tableau, “Tbe Gipsy'* Wan ing,” and an “old time break down” aad various other and well execut ed pieces, and a few comical speeches by tbe little ones. I can not remember the progreme.

Thank ful for this patronage and being spurred by this altogether fa- vorahlu and profitable result, 1 have decided to visit NcwYork and the Northern markets next month (when the wholesale business then is at a standstill,) to purchase again such goods at bargains that can be used and arc wanted by my citizens here.
