Wnmpawn.—s he fiicudt.ofa gen tleman in Webster county’ had inten ded to enter him for a premium as the ugliest man, but Kin l)ail hav ing come in from Texas, will bo on hand, and the Webster county gen tleman is respectfully withdrawn. There is still a chance for home folks. It will be seen from an oflieial doc ument in anotliov column that Gov- Bullock has resigned the office of Executive of the State, and that Ben jamin Conley, President of the Sonate, has been appointed to till the office.— In our next we will publish Bullock’s card to tiro public stating the reasons for bis action ; and will add that the principal reason given was four of im peachment. Drowning men will catch at straws, and fading glory, like an oft-used ta per, will flicker in its socket until it finally succumbs to the devouring ele ment, and its substance is scatter ed hy every passing breeze. It is with re gret that we have to apply those senti ments to the onco flourishing city of Cuthbert, but “tlio edict lias gene forth, the handwriting is upon the wall ” Having JAyJ-winked the pub lic, they would have tiro people be lieve that that place wa» to bo the commercial centre and distributing point for this section of country and Florida. But her plans in this direc tion cauio Tumlin down ; the Bullock has been Schlattcred; and now, friends, though you may excel in tlio ’Possom yield, you may Saic-tell the w ild wastes thereabout are inhabited and Chris tianized, but if you Sear-right, vi e can make merry over your Simmons many times before forged Georgia Bonds will bo issued to complete your railroads or redeem the pretty money that now’ moulders in your safes, which you would be proud to barter for half the amount of Bacon that it cost to get it there. Had we known the condition of our brother’s comruisary department we would not have encouraged our boys to go on the line of railroad ’pos som hunting. Wo now advise them to keep away, tor there aro none to spare. Reobgaxization among the Geo can Padicals. —The editor of the Atlanta Constitution writes from Dalton : I hear many rumors of an entire re organization of the Republican party in Georgia. The body of the party are against Bullock und Blodgett, and a strong effort will be made to throw them overboard. I learn that leading men in the organization contemplate calling a State Convention. It is pro posed to reconstruct the Executive Committee. Akeruiau it i3 believed, will take a prominent part. Already his Radical State friends aro urging his name for Governor. The name oi Dawson A. Walker is also mentioned. Os one thing I am assured, and that is, that a lively Radical warfare is pro posed against his sacred Majesty Ru fus, and his henchman-in-cl.ief, Foster of the State Road. Their “frods,” as the pure Convede used to dub irregu larities, aro too heavy for even that pious party of moral ideas to tote safely. lteaiguatlou of Uovciuor Ciil lock, Atlanta, Oct. 80.—Gov. Bullock re signed his office on the 23J to lake ef fect to-day, and at 3 r. m. Bonj. Con ley, President of tlio Senate, wa3 in stalled as Governor. The resignation was written before his flight to New York. Great excitement prevails. The statement a few days back that Charles L. Schlatter, Superintendent of the Brunswick and Albany Railroad bad left with railroad property is in correct. Thors is nothing charged against Schalter. I|it< liiciiiyia Mnte I-’uir. Owing to the fact that wo were not in regular altcudanco each day ut tlio State A air, we wi|l,r,et attempt, an original expose of persons and things, ami knpv*i g a majority of our read ers would like to hear something of this successful project, wo condense Rom the Savannah J lorutng Xnvs enough of “J. C. ll’s.” comsponding lettci as will convince the reader oi the magnitude of the enterprise : As you approach the entrance gate, you are struck with its picturesque tip -1 pen ranee, and this f cling glows as ! v < ugi t. nearer. The elaborate finish of the gate thews taste and judgment. : It is artistic us well as convenient, and combines, in a most remarkable de gree, the useful with the agreeable.— I You will find, upon inspection, that what is true of the entrance gate is al -1 to Due of every structure upon the gi< units. They were designed and constructed in the best possible style, | and yon will he told hy visitors from ! the North© and West that they me the meet beautiful, commodious and convenient Fair Luildir gs in the Un ion. , Directly in front you see a fine gave ' of lurest trees, in the midst of which is the half-mile track, Numerous seats are scattered throughout the grove, and hero and there a statuo or a fountain gleams white through tho shadows. Beyond, the buildings and halls if die Exposition rise into view. Altogether, it is a most impres sive scene, and you led that nature i and art have combined to make the most magnificent fair grounds on the continent. The largo building to the right as you approach tlio centre is the Machin ery Hull. A system oi shafting run ning from one und to tiie other is driven hy a large portable steam en gine in the rear. il<-re the gins and machinery w ill he tested. Further cm you eomo to tlio flying ponies. Looking uhout, you observe several booths, from tho entrances of which men (who roil their r's us if that unfortunate consonant was red hot) are wildly appealing to various small boys and negroes to seize upon this their last opportunity of b holding ali tae curiosities ol earth, gathered at groat expense from tho tropics as well us from tlio boreal regions. This large building hero to our left is tho dining-hall, it is capable of seating at least five bundled people at onco. Tho bread ovens in tho cook room can bake two barrels ol flour at one time, while numbers of nogs are offered up daily on the ranges as a holocaust to those who hanker after the flesh pots of Macon. Below tho dining-hall is tho Ladies’ cottage, a beautiful specimen of architectural taste —comloi table aud convenient.— To tho right of this is a liquor foun tain and cigar eta ids. Be ware oi Item. Til front oi' tho Ladies’ Cottage is a beautiful fountain. Beyond this is tlio single truck railroad. Near by rises Floral Hail. You at once make a mental note to the effect that it is the finest structure on tho grounds.— The scene is dazzling beyond descrip tion, and you mako another mental, note, the purport of w hich is that you have never before behold such a col lection of beautiful women. They stream by you in myriads. They pass you by tlio thousand. You are be wildered—confused. Tho mixture of blonde and brunette, and tlio inter mediate character.sties of beauty—tho sparkle of blue, black and hazel eyes —are all exquisitely confuting, and you lay your hand upon your manly bosom and thank Ilcaven that jou are a Georgian. • You are impressed with the idea that no other land upon earth can lay claim to such beautiful women aud such brave men. Some ono in quires as to the whereabouts of tlio l’rettiest Gill in Georgia. You turn upon liiui fiercely. Bali! Go to, thou blockhead, dlio P. G. in G. is a myth and a humbug—tho plaything of thoughtless editors. Behold the Pret tiest Women in tho World ! and you point out to your enquiring friend tlio dazzling assemblage of Floral Hull.— The exhibition of articles in this Hall is very fine—th« finest perhaps on tlio grounds. There are three fioors, and all the available space is tilled. The walls are elegantly decorated, and ev erything about the building is finished with tlio most exquisite taste. Y r ou pass up to the roof by means of a stairway and find yourself upon ono of the turrets oi the buildings.— Hero you have a splendid view of the race-track, the grand stand, the Judge’s stand, etc. Y u also have a view of the main music stand, from which the fine hand of the Second U. ft. Infantry is discoursing eloquent music. Beyond the music stand is Premium llall, to which, after you have escaped the delightful thralls ot tlio Plural Temple, y~u make your way. On your left, as you enter, is a branch of the Western Union Tele graph office, and the Southern Express. On your right is tho Acme Press of the Macon Citizen. On your left, again, is one of the wonders of the age in the shape of Abel’s Combina tion Loom. Further on is a magnifi cent collection of buggies and car riage© of every conceivable 6tyle. You make your way. to tho second floor, aud, strolling around, find your self face to face with a veritable Hoa- then Chinee, who is busily engaged in showing how ho can cook. You taste his biscuit, and conclude that this, at least, is a game he understands. ***** There is a g’eneral move toward the river, for the purpose of witnessing the boat races. The terraced bank is already crowded with ladies, gentlo men and children. In order to have a bettor view of the race, and to enjoy the occasion thoroughly, you step aboard of Pope Freeman’s little steam er, and go puffing up the stream at a great rate. The sceno is of the gayest description. Thousands of beautiful ladies, arrayed in the brightest colors, the soft haze of Indian summer, the autumn-tinted foliage of the trees, dappled clouds drifting slowly to tko West, sudden gusts of sweet music on the wind, add each a charm to tho hour, and you find yourself wondering j whether all this is reality. Surely j there Yitis never been justsuch a econo since tho famous days of the good Ha roun A1 Raschild. A shout from too shore calls your attention to tho fact that tho race has begun. Three boats have entered— j the Lucille and Alice, of Savannah, | and n bout rowed hy the Rolf Club, jof Macon. The Lucillo is leading, j hut the Macon boat is closo at hand. I Macon puts on a spurt for the front. ! Kimball, my boy, couie down to your knitting. Mil.er, straighten yourself, j Schley, you are wanted. Titcomb, ! lean to your oars Dear children, one pull for old Savannah. Once more— uud onco again ! Ah ! tin to we are, ' sale to tho front—uiuDho raco is won. But the Mucou hoys wero close at hand. They swing tin ir oars as if they had been born on tiro tails, i And thus tho week flies away and , Saturday comes, and though tlio Fair is by no means over, you have an en- j gngeuicnt in Savannah on Sunday.— j You acknowledge this fact with re- j gret. You have enjoyi and yourself tlior- i oughiy, and you l'eul liko congratulat ing ever body you meet. That is, tra ditionally, gentle reader, if your linos ] have been east in as pleasant places as I mine. I trust that tho Committee which attended the Fair on tho pait of tho Industrial Association took pretty full , notes. The State Fair through the energy and foresight of Huff and tho liberality of Macon and her citizens, has been made oi o of the grandest successes of the season. tVi siiisv. i: k and .lllwi!!}’ 51. li. The Atlanta Constitution has the following in regard to tho affairs of this road. Now that rascality is being made public, and I’m chief actors are flying from tho gaze of these who ela niov for an honest investigation of af fairs, w’o wonder liow many conscicn dcs there aro condemning those who were aiders aud abetors in this great fraud: Wo are informed by the letter to which wo referred yesterday that Mr J. A. Burns, the Superintendent of the Brunswick and Albany Railroad, on the morning of the 20th, left tho road without notice to any one> Among the contractors to whom it is said Kimball has soli his interest in tho road are given tho names Lyons & McLendon, A. Blue <X Cos., Hiuos & Hobbs, and others. The price is said to be $150,000. G’ol. G. L. Sliiatter, tho Chiof Engi neer, proposed that the employees who had seized rolling stock for their debts should release it aud lot him run the road and pay them. Tho employees refused unless paid or given security that payment w’ould bo made in thirty days, they to appoint George i. Cook Superintendent. There seems to have been great ex citement,. Every body was grabbing. Whiskey flowed ireely. Engines and every thing else available wero levied 1 on and seized indiscriminately. In connection with Governor Bul -1 lock’s seizure of the road his proela -1 mation implicates him in a fraud upon the State. 110 casts suspicion on the bonds he has had executed, registered, and by himself delivered to li. I. Kimball.— In the case of the endorsed bonds “as fast as every ten miles is built in a substantial manner, and the same in good running working order, which shall he certified to by an engineer ap pointed by tlio Governor, tho company shall present to the Governor the bonds of said company, which his Excellency is required to endorse and deliver to said company.” It there has been no fraud in the delivery on the part of the Governor, ho has no further control over the hands thus delivered, and they are bona fide the property of tho company, tho State having as security for the endorsement tho road completed and in running or der, upon which the State has the first lien. And tho Governor advertising tho bonds and appointing courts to re ceive evidence ot validity or applica tion, of itself is presumptive evidence that the Governor has practiced a fraud upon the State by endorsing and de livering bonds before tho road was ! complete. And by application to tho proper officers we find that $3,300,000 of the endorsed bonds, hy order of tho Governor were signed, sealed with tho great seal of the State, registered and i delivered to his Excellency ; the last I as long ago as the 18th day of April; i while the road is very far from being | completed to the extent to authorize j anything like this amount. In addi- j tion to the above, the Governor has 1 had signed nnd sealed with the great , seal of tho State and delivered to him $1,880,000 State bonds for the Bruns-1 ! wick and Albany Eailroad Company, j ! being the full amount said road is en- i j titled to when completed tho entiro ! , length ; making in all, aid by tho State ! to said road, five millions one hux- 1 DEED INI) EIGHTY THOUSAND ($5,180,000) dollies ! twice the entire indebtedness of the State at the close of the war. No wonder the Governor has taken a sud den flight to New York. We learn that the Governor has not used the services of the proper engin eer, Col. Frobel, tho superintendent of l’ublic Works, to examine and report upon the railroad preliminary to the indorsement of bonds, but that ho ap pointed an engineer in the employ of the road, whose connections with the road should have precluded his selec tion as the State’s ageut. It will be observed that at present there is no evidence of the delivery of the bonds over the legal amount to Kimball, only of the preparation and delivery to Governor Bullock of the entire amount of road would call for when completed. The question arises whether he has delivered the surplus to Kimball in vi oltion of law, or whether ho has had them in hand ? If the latter, what has lie been doing with them since April and May ? SiOIJTIi IAHOIJAI.4. Ttie Kcis»i» *>l Terra#. Tho Yoikvillo 'linqufitt of the 2Gffi is ut hand. T his paper is published in one ot tho counties that has been victimized by the impel ini ukase ot tho Grant. Wo condense, Item its col umns, the following summary of what is being cloiuyovor there, under Milita ry Government: AUKU.iT OE CITIZENS. As was not expected, the 1 rouident s proclamation of tho 12th, was follow ed livo days thereafter by another, suspending tho privileges of tho writ of habeas corpus in certain sections in South Carolina. On Thursday last, tho military au thorities at this place commenced mak ing arrests. Several citizens of tho town were arrosted while in pursuit of their avocations, and many persons from tlio country, while in_ town on business, wero also dotaiuud und lodg ed in prison. About the same hour that tho ar rests commenced in town, •run uiLtXA uv uneas to move, squadrons of cavalry marching out in various directions, for the purpose of arresting those in tho country whom accusations have been made for violations of ftoe “Kuklux” and “En forcemeat” acts of Cungrcss. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, squads of soldiers were returning at all hours, having in their-custody citizens of tho country, embracing men in all stations, and occasionally amongst the number would be found a negro, of which ela-s five aro now under arrest. THE TOTAL NVIIBEU NOW IN JATL at this place is 79, us whom two aie negroes ; and confined in tho guard house at tho military camp aro also three negroes—Thacl Archer and Reu ben Goins, of the town, and Samuel Simr 1, of tho county. It may be proper here to state that very few arres.s have been made after night, the larger number having been made in the day time, and, so far as wo have been able to learn, no show of resistance to authority has been made. As may well bo supposed, the jail is very much crowded, in conse quence of which the prison accommo dations aro being increased, by fitting the sec nil story of the building for that purpose. There is no disposition on tho part of officials in charge to treat the prisoners with undue harsh ness, aud we have been requested by some of the prisoners to say that their treatment has been as kind aud as mild as they could expect. THESE All RESTS have all been made by the military au thorities, without formal warrants, and it is expected that a preliminary exam ination of each prisoner will bo had before the United States Commission er, when, if in the opinion of the Com missioner, the evidence fails to sustain tho charge, tho prisoner will bo re leased. In the examination before the Commissioner, tho accused will be al lowed counsel. TRo examination will be public, aud conducted in tlio man ner es all legal proceedings before a Commissioner. ATTORNEY GENERAL All NEMAN, and D. T. Corbin, District Attorney of this State are here, and, wo are in formed, will remain until the conclu sion of tho investigation. No time has yet been fixed for the examination, so far as we can learn. Os tho charges of their nature against any of the accused, we are unable to give any information. The authori ties are reticent in regard to their movements, and wo can only publish facts as they transpire, deeming cou joctures and sensational paragraphs— such as will flood many of the papers ut a distance—as quite superfluous, aud in tendency, iiijuriuus. a gloomy rnosrncT. The wholesale arrests made hy tho military in this county have had a very depressing influence on business generally, and we presume such will bo the caso throughout the entire sec tion of the State embraced in the pro clamation of the President. Crops re main in the hells unharvested, and on account of tho general feelings-of inse curity, business is nearly at a stand still, while a large number of persons have left the country, rather than in cur the unpleasant aud uncertain con sequences of airest. The future of our section, we aro free to confess, is now more gloomy than it has boon at any time since tho close of tho war.— Wo have had AN IXTERNIEW WITH THE AUTHORITIES, to learn to what extent arrests might l ho expected to be made. Colonel Mor rill, the officer in command, assures us that no improper arrests wculd be j made, aud that any person who felt i himself innocent of violating tho En | lbrcemeut act or tho Ku-klux act, need i entertain no fears of being molested iu I any way by the soldiery or tho Matr j shal. We trust this declaration hy I Colonel Merrill will have tho effect to | measurably restore couiidonco in tho i minds of many who naturally enough are apprehensive at the unusual stride mads hy the chief executive of the na tion to arrest transgressors of tho law ; aud that if business cannot resumo its wonted channels in our midst, that at least the entiro populace will not be come terror-stricken and dismayed, j Lot us hopo for the best A FALSE KCMOE. The reported collison between a par ty of citizens and the United States soldiers at a place known as Pea- Ridge near the line dividing York and Union counties, is entirely unfounded. No difficulty of any kind has occured since the military authorities com menced making arrests. The Augusta Chronicle says that the counties of Washington, Burlco, Jelferson, Hancock, Glasscock, War ren, Floyd, Chattooga, Columbia, Lin coln, Elbert. Wilkes, and Whitfield, it is radically alleged, will bo put under the martial law. Articles are ariving for exibition at our Fair. , ‘inapltT of'Fure Uorcrumcul.’ Tho only hope now is in tho Re publican party, Around tho orgaui zatiou all tho friends of pure govern ment must rally, or wo shall be swamp ed beneath a tidal wavo of oflieial cor ruption.—Repahlictiy jpujter. For examples of tho “puro govern ment” tho Republican party gives tho j county, see : 1. A Republican Pres ident at Washington, who bestows his cabinet offices in return for personal favors and gifts bestowed upon him. 2. A Republican administration which spends one hundred and thir teen million dollars more for the cur rent expenses of tho government than the last Democratic administration. 3. A list of three hundred Repub lican defaulters, who have pocketed twenty millions of dollars of tho peo ple’s money, and have never been punished by tho administration. •1. A Republican administration which compelled tho only member of tho Cabinet who attempted to purify his department, to retire from office, so that tho thieves and corruptionists could carry on their plunder, 5. A Republican Congress which puzzled tho Supremo Court until they Could pass a law by which a Republi can President could back it. (3. A Republican Congress, which, controlled by lobbyists, has given away, so fur as any revenue to the public is concerned,but sold, so far as their pockets are concerned, vast tracts, and hundred of millions of acres of the public lands to gigantic corporations. 7. A Republican President who used the secret service money of the govern ment to forward a corrupt annexation theme for toe benefit of speculators in iSan Domingo and their allies in this country. But why multiply ? These speci mens of the kind of “pure government” the Republican party gives the country will do for the present. Ought not the “friends of puro government” to rally for a party whoso crowning achievements are a mercenary Execu tive, a profligate Administration, a cor rupt Congress and a degraded Judic iary.—Albany Argus Rev.
