£3FThe editor of the Macon Tele
graph Sf Messenger thinks tho temper
of man, which at this time is fierce,
boligerent and cruel, affects even tho
atmosphere and causes the earth to be
afflicted. Hear him :
It is noted that tornadoes, oyciones,
hurricanes, earthquakes, waterspouts,
hailstorms, tremendous rains and
Hoods, loud thunder, and fearful light
ning, and blighting drouths, scorch
ing heats and bitter colds afflict the
earth to an unusual degree. Nature
sympathizes with the temper of man,
which is gerce, belligerent and cruel.
The milk of human kindness has run
dry. Tho world ceases to run on the
principle of sunshine and attraction,
and is driven onward by the fierce en
ergy of mutually repellunt and hostile
forces. Even the gentle sex is show
ing symptoms of tho common infec
tion. When will things mend ?

From the heading of this pioco, it

to prison, after releasing us the day
before (Tuesday) from tho charges
which he could uot sustain.
Without any warrant of law or

F. S. —Since the above was in type

tho mark,) of this incorruptible and in

so-called, but wo do not know in our
present climate, the lease of such lib
orty.
Will the Washington Ku KluxJ
Committee mako a note of this out
rage f
flic Now Departure’.
This being the engrossing political
issue of the day, tho public should be
kept nlivo to its import, iu order that
there may be no excuse for rushing
blindly into it and accepting its pro. '
visions as wholesome Democratic food.
Thus far the Democratic Press of the
State has been a unit in opposition
thereto, and if the victory is uot won
iu tho opposition, nothing iu tho shape
of a forfeiture of principle can present
itself to disturb an easy conscience.—
The following sensible views aud well
grounded hopes we copy from the La
grange Reporter:
What has the Democratic party to
gain by the proposed departure ? Tho
proposition is made, as we understand
it, to swell the Democratic vote by ac
cretion from the Republican party, by
making concessions agreeably to what
is termed the conservative element of
that party. Tho proposition in brief
I is, that 2,648,840 Democrats are to ro
[ linquish long cherished and e6tab
i lisliod principles and go over to, at
most, 886,281 Republicans, admitting,
: for the sake of the argument, that a
1 gain of that many votes is necessary
i for a Democratic popular majority.—
j The advocates of the “new departure”
j oonteud that there is a respectable mi
-1 nority of the Republicans dissatisfied
| with tho policy and conduct of their
i party, and want to quit tho organiza
• tion, if they can do so without the ap
! pearanco of inconsistency. Is it inoro
important that 2,648,880 Democrats
should be inconsistent, by conceding
everything demanded by tho whole
Republican party, than tuat 826,201
disaffected Republicans should bo con
sistent in adhering to Republican prin
ciples under Democratic auspices, in
order to secure Democratic success in
tho next l’rosidontial election ? That
is what we understand by the proposed
“now departure.”
Tho Democratic party has beon grad
ually, but surely, gaining strength ev
er since 1868. In overy State it has
made advances that have excited the
alarm of the Republicans to a degree
that they scarcely know the proper
policy to pursue in order to save their
party from defeat and annihilation.—
All this has been accomplished with
out any repudiation or modification of
the national platform of 1868—with
out making any departure from the
well understood principles of party.—
While the party is thus gaining
strength in the Northern States, and
the Southern States being fully en
franchised by the removal of all re
strictive laws disfranchising them,
what is the use of adopting a now line
of policy, or anew political creod, in
order to drive from tho party a largo
proportion of its members who can
not swallow the fourteenth or fifteenth
amendments as accomplished facts and
no longer political issues before the
country ? The introduction of this
“new departure”—this new feature—
into the Democratic party will demor
alize it, and will lose more to it thau
it will gain for it—for there are thous
ands of Democrats who will not vote
such sentiments, whether presented by
the Democratic or tho Republican
party.
honast man is the noblest
work of God,” and bo he engaged in
politics or anything else, ho is not to
to be droaded if honest. If a politi
cian and he has the manliness to speak
the truth, he should bo revorenced
and have tho confidence of the people,
whatever his politics may bo. Tho
following statement from tho Repub
lican organ of the Stato of Alabama
is the experience, no doubt, of thous
ands of outraged and insultod Repub
licans, and one of the few who has
tho manliness or a sufficiency of in
tegrity of purpose to acknowledge it:
Montgomery, June 23. —The State
Journal, tho organ of the Alabama
Republicans, says: ‘‘We have lived in
Alabama ovor a quarter of a century,
and never felt our life and property
insocure on account of political opin
ions. Sincere in our Republicanism,
we felt safe because we love our peo
ple, and honostly believe wo are pur
suing a course that will redound to
their peaco, happiness and prosperity.”
The editor denounces “those calling
themselves Republicans who try to
get office by stirring up discord and
strife and poisoning tho minds of vo
ters, in secret dens at midnight, where
honest men and sincere Republicans
are plotted against, simply because
they are honest and sincere and have
a social standing in tho community.
Such Republicans may feel unsafe.”—
He concludes as follows : “We believe
that every honest man is safe in Ala
bama, no matter what his political
apinions are.”
Washington, June 23.—Judge Bus
teed, of Alabama, is before the Ku
klux Committee. We had boon told
a yoar and a half ago, confidentially,
by a citizen of Huntsville, that there
was a Ku-klux organization in the
northern part of tho State. Persons
and property were as safo as in any
State in the Union. Public quiet and
tranquility were as essentially preserv
ed in Alabama as any part of the
country. The character of persons
lidding subordinate official positions
under the State Constitution was gen-
erally notoriously bad, both as to in
telligence and honesty. He had been
in the State since 1805. Having pre
viously been appointed District Judge
of Alabama by Mr. Lincoln. There
had been no obstruction to the admin
istrational affairs of his office or the
laws of the land, except in one in
stance, when the Republican Auditor
of Alabama disobeyed an injunction
of court, for which he was fined and
imprisoned. The greatest respect was
paid tho judicial authority by lawyers,
suitors, juries and all other parties.—
The feeliug of the people toward the
General Government, he thought, was
to obey the l&ws, however obnoxious
though there was a deep feeling tha
the laws were not equal and impar
tial.
Fart of tho Rev. Mr. Larkin’s ovi- 1
denue was read to witness, who suid it'
was entirely untrue that an indict
ment had been found in Bustood’s
court for a violation of the Civil Rights
Bill and that has not yet been tried, i
Larkin, Bustoed added, is a man apt
to make wild statements without an
accurate basis. Bustecd knew a man
named Willard Warner who applied
for exemption from jury service in his
court in 1867 or 1868 on the ground i
of being at the time Senator of the
Stato of Ohio. Tho financial condi
tion of tho State under Lindsay had
improved. The people of Alabama
render full obedience to tho laws, and
thore is in that Stato ample securities
for life and property, with a continued
improvement in all public and private
relations.
These answers were all elicited by
direct questions—-witness being under
oath.
A Legend of Koine.
There is a legend that in the city of
Rome there formerly stood an image
with its right hand extended and on
the forefinger the words “strike here.”
Many wise men puzzled in vain over
tho meaning of tho inscription ; but at
last a certain priest observed that
whenever the 6un shone on the fig-1
ure, tho shadow of the finger was dis
cernible on tho ground at a little dis
tanoe from tho statuo Having marked
the spot, ho waited until midnight,
and then began to dig. At last his
spade struck upon something hard.— '
It was a trap-door, below which a
flight of marble steps decondod into a'
spacious hall, where many men were
sitting iu solemn silence amid piles of
gold and diamonds aud long rows of
enamelod vases. Beyod this ho found
anoth or room, a gynneium filled with
beautiful women rtftlining on richly
embroidered sofas ; yet hero, too, was
profound silence. A superb banquet
ing hall next met his astonished gaze;
then a silent kitchen ; then granaries
loaded with forage ; then a stable filled
with motionloss horsos. The whole
place was brilliantly lighted by a car
buncle which was suspended in one
corner of the reception room ; and op
posite stood an archer with his bow
and arrow raised in the act of taking
aim at the jewel. As the .priest
passed back through this hall, he saw
a diamond ltilted knife lying on the
table; and wishing to carry away
something wherewith to accredit his
story, he reached out his hand to take
it; but uo sooner had he touched it
than all was dark. The archer had
shot with his arrow, the bright jewel
was shivered into a thousand pioces,
the staircase had vanished, and tho
priest found himself buried alivo.
A REroETED Heavy Express Rob
bery—A£lßO,OOo Hacl. —We see it
stated in the Nashville Banner that the
express car on the Mobile & Ohio
Railroad was lately robbed of some
£30,000 while on the road.
We learn from a gentleman who ar
rived on the train from the West that
it is commonly understood that the
amount takon from the car was over
£IBO,OOO.
Ho reports the robbery as having
taken place in tho night, while the
train was in motion, and while the
messenger was asleep, on a long run
between stations ; and that the car
was entered by an opening being
made in the top, and the iron safe
drawn up —tho whole being done with
out any alarm or discovery whatever,
until the work was completed.
This reported robbery, if true, is a
bold ono and the biggest haul on re
cord. We believe nothing but a bur
glar-proof safe, with combination lock,
and a trusty, well armed, wile awake
watchman, is certain to prevent rob
bery.— Atlanta Sun.
Sherman and the Indians.—Gener
al Sherman has been talking to the
remnants of tho Indian" nations as
sembled at Ocmulgee, in the Indian
Territory, and he plainly told them
that it was useless for them to attompt
1 o stand in the way of the constant ex
pansion of tho white race. The Gen
eral tells an unwelcome truth, but one
which nevertheless must bo under
stood sooner or later by the vanishing
relics of barbarisms, who have been
crowded farther and farther westward,
until they have met the refluent wavo
from the shores of tho Pacific. If
now, wo could only persuade the rap
idly diminishing tribes that they must
accept civilization and absorption !
Tho Macon Tel. & Meta, in a sum
mary of the cotton statement says the
Receipts up to last Sept, were 3,869,-
644 bales, against 2,713,323 bales for
tho corresponding period of tho previ
ous cotton year—excess 1,056,601
bales. Tho excess of exports over last
year is 1,044,732 bales, or within a lit
tle short of forty thousand bales of the
entire crop excess. The stock in Liv
erpool is only 257,000 bales in oxcoss
of last year. 2’he stock of Amorican
cotton afloat is 2,000 bales in excess,
whilo that of Indian cotton afloat shows
130,657 excess; total European stock
excess, including cotton’afloat, is 389,-
747 bales, while the American stock
is 28,076 short of last year. The dis
patch prognosticates such an advance
as will compensate, in part, for any da
crease in production this year. We
hope it will be sufficient to square the
beam altogether.

school fund is now to or has paid. It
has been found that identically
the same desk is suppliod elsewhere
for $3.50 apeice. The question among
tho Mississippians now is, who pocket

fund was robbed in the transaction ?

ArrEARAXCE OF THE HOUSE.
At eight o'clock tho houso was filled

The Emperor, tho Empress, the
Crown 1 *.nce and the Crown Princess,
with their suite, entered the imperial
box at eight o’clock precisely. At their
entrance the audience aroso in perfect
silence. The Emperor bowod formal
ly thrice ; the Crown Prince did like
wise.
The Crown Princess was charmingly
dressod in pale silk. On her head she
wore a tiara set in diamonds. She
was seated i to the right of the Empress,
while the Crown Prince sat by the
Emperor. - Around them clustered a
galaxy of Princesses and Duchesses.
The box next to that of the Emperor
was filled by the Imperial Princes.
PANEGYRIC ON THE EMPEROR.
. The curtain rose at ten minutes past
eight upon a landscape, which Frau
lein Eckhaidt discovered in tho fore
ground.
She spoke the prologue, which was
a panegyric on Frederick William
111. At the conclusion the Emper

APPEARANCE OF THE KAISER ON HORSE
BACK.
Then came a procession of warri
ors, and last of all a figure on horse
back, representing the Emperor Wil

boundless enthusiasm, cheered and
shouted “ Lcbchoch /” thrico. At the
■ xmo timo thore was waving of hel
mets and flourishing of handkerchiefs.
The Emperor bowed repeatedly to the
audience and then retired.
THANKSGIVING IN THE CHURCHES.
To-day thanksgiving celebration took
place in all the churches, which were
filled by tremendous crowds. The na
tional prayer was read, and hymns of
praise chanted by the choirs and con
gregations. The Cathedral was splen
didly decorated with flowers and flags.
A joyful solemnity characterized the
whole service. Te Deum was played
by tho orchestra and sung by the choir
magnificently, ascompanicd by the
voiees of tho vhole congregation.
A Chicago shoemaker, by the death
of an uncle, fell heir to $40,000, Af

the best way of onjoying it was frol
licking and high living, and he found
plenty of friends to assist him in spen
ding it.
After about three years of ridiculous
drunken sprees with dissoluto compan
ions, he had squandered his fortune,
and his “niends” forsaking him and
his body almost wrecked, he was forced
to return to his bench to earn a liveli
hood. Ho had workod steadily nearly
a year, when a lawyer entered the
shop one day and enformed him that
another uncle had died, and left $20,-
000. When he received tho informa
tion, ho started at tho lawyer with a
look of mingled sadnoss and astonish
ment, and sorrowfully ejaculated, Je
sus Christ! Have I got to go through
all that again ?”
A church in Little Rock, Ark., had
to employ another preacher because

and sings'sweotly. He does not, how
ever, valse well—the ladies say it is be

Wo aro gratified to stato that pro
visional organization was made in this
city yesterday, to be made permanent
on Mio bona fide subscription of three
million dollars and the payment of
ten per cent, in cash on or boforo the
first day of December noxt, for the
purpose of building the road.
The directors are Wm. M. Wadley,
John Screven, W. S. Holt, L. E. Welsh
and Nelson Tift. Nelson Tift was

ham Secretary and Treasurer.
Tho Central Railroad and Banking
Company subscribed £500,000 to the
capital stock under the terms of the
provisional organization.
This road is to be operated as a trunk
hue for all connecting railroads, ami
it is believed that there is no other
line of roads which has boon or can be
namod that would so materially bene
fit Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans
and tho railroad interests with which
they are connected. By this line Mo
bile, only 450 miles distant, would bo
at 20 miles per hour, within 22J hours
of Savannah, and New Orleans, 600
milos distant, within 30 hours. At
30 milos per hour, Mobilo would be
within 15 hours and New Orleans
within 20 hours of Savannah. Tho
gap to be filled by the construction of
this road is from Albany to Bollard,
only 195 miles, aud if the enterprise
should prove successful, Savannah
will bo in direct communication with
the improvements and trade of tho en
tire lino of Gulf States.
The figures givon above present
tho question in a light that cannot
fail to command at least serious con
sideration. The fact that the project
is favored in tho outset by the Presi
dents of our great linos of railway
should, of itself, command it to public
favor. Tho matter is iu the hands of
those two roads and of tho people of
Savannah, Mobile and Now Orleans.
And now T ANARUS, what will they do with it.
It is something new to us, and perhaps
to them; and will therefore require
thought before action; but it comes
to us with strong endorsements and
cogent argument, which should be al
lowed their full weight in any action
that may be taken in the premises.
The sheme, we would add, is pecu
liarly fortunate in the outset in falling
into the hands of a gentleman so com
petent to push it forward to success,
and who shares so largely in the pub
lic confidence. The name of Coionel
Tift as President is a guarantee alike
of the merit of the work, and that its
affairs will bo managed with good
judgement, energy and fidelity. We
shall have more to say on the subject
hereafter, when it shall become further
developed and call for a practical de

Louisville Courier-Journal says.
“We learn that the Central Demo
cratic Committee of Tennessee propos
es to call a conference of South

they will carry out the suggestion.
Just now we are wholly at sea and

We considor it immaterial of the coun

The safety of our country lies in the
common senso and patriotism of our
people, not in tho shin-plastering and
quackery of professional politicians.
