Tlie po!i:it»l “situation” is l.ecom
>ny noun'ivhat interesting. President
Ilnye* has, after much halting and
hesitation complied with all hi* promi
ses to the South. The federal troops
hare been withdrawn from the capi
!■ la of both South Carolina and Louisi
ana, which, of course, leaves both
those itales, like every other state in
the South, in the hands of tli6 Demo
ciats. This action has aroused the
indignation of many of the radical
leaders, hut only a few of them, so
far, have dared to express it openly.
Blaine and other* of the class, who
still have some hopes of personal pre
ferment in the future, are not saying
nuich, asyet, but like Tom O’Shnnter’s
wife are
“Gathering their trowp, like patherinp^Btorm,
Nursing flicJr wrath to keep it wan’’
and when the storm breaks we antici
pate a lively shower. Stull old fossi’s
as Weodel Philips, the Boston Music
Hall maniac and Ben Wade, of Ohio,
who have no future, are outspoken,
energetic and profane in their denun
ciations, of the south* rn policy of the
fraudulent president.
It is said that Hayes, himself i«
getting very fic’getty and lestless, in
consequence of the uncomfortable
condition of bis sent, — bis presidential
seat—and it is whispered in some
quarters, that he even has serious
thoughts of vacating. The trouble in
the matter is, that it is very clear,
even toa rnan“up a tree” that if Pack
ard is not rightfully Governor o! Loui
sianna, Hayes is net rightfully Presi
dent of the United States.
The liberal republican*, who en
dorse Hayes polity, hope to 6ave
their party from the inevitable des
tiuction, to wlii'-fc it seetrs to be tend
ing by securing the organization, of
the next House of Repvesenative* by
the election of a Republican Speaker.
To do this they will have to carry sev
eral democratic votes. These, they
thought, their conciliatory policy would
bring them from the South; buttle
South thinks the President has on'y
done a sworn duty that should
have been done long ago,and that she
owes him no substript : oo, allegiance
or votes for this long delayed and tar
dy justice. All the indications are
that the democrats will stick solidly to
gether iu the next House and elect
Randal), Speaker.
The question is “What is the next
move on the political chess-board ?”
Packard Packs.
By an ordar from the President,
the United States troops were with
drawn from the Louisiana Stato House
on last Tuesday at 12 o’clock, m.
Notwithstanding all his boasts and
threats, Packard quietly subrai’s to
what he cannot help. Hi* Legisla
ture has gone over to Nichols. This
is the last of radicalism and carpet
bagism in the South.
Ex. Gov. Joe Brown has been wri
ting. and publishing in the Conttitution,
some, as wethink, unjust, ungenerous
and uncalled for, criticisms of the
course of Gen. Gordon, in reference to
the counting in of Hayes. He, inci
dentally, alluded,in one of his articles,
to the “stauding” of Col. Alston, in
a way that raised the Col’s bristles,
whereupon, he went for “old Joe,”
but came back, like the traditional
chicken, “with his head all pecked and
a hole in his ear.”
A man, named Greggs, who lies
been marshal of Sparta, Ga., for two
or three years was tried, lust week, for
the murder of a merchant of that
place. He wna found guilty and sen
tenced to the penitentiary for life, the
jury hawing recommended Liuo to tho
mercy of the coutt. Two other mrn,
W. R. Lowett and C. G. Barnes were
indicted for the same offense, but
their trials were postponed.
Don’t forget to go to the polls, on
Tuesday, next, the first day of May,
and vote for the ratification of an
amendment to the constitution of the
state prohibiting the payment of the
Bullock bonds.
Got. Hampton has turned the re

and g«v« us the following account of
a tragedy enacted on his pluce yester
day morning:
Macon, April 24, 1877.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger :
This r-orning, among my various
squads of convicts, one of eight men
was started out in charge of James
MsMichael, or.e of my moat experi
enced guards, and when within a
short distance of the field of work--
clearing up anew ground—ene of the
prisoners, Moses Butler, of Richmond,
felled him with an axe, which was
followed by a second how by George
Washington, of Muscogee, either of
which wonlil have killed him.
After the fatal blow they pilfered
his pockets, first getting the key that
locked the prisoners together on a
chain. They also got <rom his person
ninety dollars in money—took his
double-barrel gun and repeater, and,
alter getting off the squad chain, cut
their shackles off with axes and made
for Oconee Swamp, about one mile
off. There werj eight convicts in me
squad, ail of whom escaped save one
who fled for camp to tell the awful
story of the killing. We pursued
them with one of the finest pack of
nine hounds iu the country, hut after
four hour’s put suit they swam the
Oconee liver, the dogs following them ;
hut the hunters, so fatigued from the
race, declined to swim toe river, hence
the demons are at large A liberal
reward will he paid lor them or either
i ne of them. T. J. Smith.

Persons who visited the Macon pas
senger depot on Tuesday morning
might have seen a casket enclose 1 in
a box, on which was written “the re
mains of Geo. W. Burney, of G 'ves
ton Texas.” They read the su| er
scription, wondered who Geo. \V.
Burney was, and dismissed the sub
ject from their minds George W.
Burney was a son of Mr. Milton, Bur
ney, a native of Wilkin-on court*}’,
hut now a resident of Clay. Mr.
George W. Burney left his father
and went to Texas several years ago,
embarked in business and had won
respectability and prosperity. About
two months ago a desperate negro
came to his store near Galveston, Tex
as, and threatened to take the life
of a gentleman who wag teaching
school in the neighborhood. Mr.
Burney told the negro that ho was
acting wrong, whereupon the negro
said to him, “D n you, do you
take it, up,” and drew a pistol and
shot Mr. Burney dead on the spot,
and then fled. The indignation of
the pet pie was aroused, the country
wag secured for the assassin, and large
rewards nllered hy the Governor and
private citizens for his capture. Up
to last accounts, however, he had not
been captured. Tho remains of Mr.
Butrey were interred temporarily in
Texas and his father being informed
of his death ordered them sent to
Georgia, and they arrived in Macon
on Monday night, anti were earned
to Houston county and deposited in
a grave hy the side ot his mother,
who died seme years ago. —lrwinton

near Buenavista, Ma'ion county, met
with a fatal accident on hie father’s

while throwing off a loud cf logs

On Tuesday of last week Mr. Jnmes
Jernigan, of Greene county, went in
to a grove near his house to shoot
a squirrel his dogs had treed. As he
was nearing the tree, “he complained
of great pain in his eyes, and said he
believed he alrould die. He went to
the tree, however, shot and ki’led the
squirrel, falling to the ground himself
at the report ot the gun, and before
he could be carried into the house,
only a few yards distant, he wae a
corpse. There was no apparent cause
for his death, and he had been for
some time past enjoying hie usual

To the Farmer* of Georgia :
In >iew of the threatened war iu
the eaa» - srttich seems bow to he un-.
avoidable—it becomes us as prudent
men, to avoir, as '»r as possible, its
disastrous effects upon our industries,;
by a wise forecast in our farm economy.
The indication* now are that there
wi'l he a protracted war, involving tiie
leading powers of Europe, the neces
sary cons -queDce ol which will lie »
rapid advauce in the price ot all food :
supplies.
Eveu the “rumor of war” has el-j
reatly caused an appretiuhle advance
in meats aud breads! utfs, and a decline [
in our great stal le, cotton. Unusual
ly large shipments of provisions to the
varii us European ports are already
rej ot ted, and must contiuue so 10-gus
the war lasts.
The foreign demand for cotton may
he greatly induced, and its price full
below even its present ‘ow figures.
In view ot these facts, the taruieis
oi Georgia are urged to increase their
areas in provision crops. It is nut
yet too late to increase the men of torn,
even il it ha* to be done by r iducing
tlie aieu in Cotton. Let farmers plant
enoiFgh corn to insure an ample sup
ply tor the eusuing year. Let them
plant crops for then hogs, and ioice
them forward to -ecure, as nearly aa
possible, a supply of bacon foi home
consumption. Let them plant liberal
ly in Get man millet aud field peas to
supplement their coru crop iu feeding
stock, in order that more of their coru
may be used fur bread.
If the war should be averted- of
which there is, at preseut littie proba
bility- we will have lost nothing by
the above po icy; if not, we will have
provided against the possibility of loss!
o* suffering. In either event, those ;
*»no adopt the above advice will have
nothing to regret, while those who do
not may be compelled to purchase pro-'
visions at ruinously liign prices, and
pay tor them with cotton at prices ev«n
below the cost of production

Possibilities of an Acre. —No mar.
knows what t' eseare. W e know that
two hundred hushelsot coin wereonce
grown on an acre, and that five b»!ea
of cotton have been made on the same
acre of soil, hut we do not know that
the limits of jroduction were reached
in sither case. We should try to find
out, not merely how much of any giv
en crop can be produced ou one acre
of land but how cheaply it can be
grown. A big crop may not in all
cases be a profitable one. It may
cost too much to make it. The great
est yield with the smallest outlay of
capital and labor is what we aim at.
Our farmers are aften too poor, not so
much because their c r ope are small,
and small they are compared with
what they might he, as because it
cost too much to make them. We
must learn to make large crops with
less labor. To do this we roust go
over less ground, and make science
practical skill properly supplement
muscle and machinery.— -Ex.

T H &
FARMER’S FRIEND.
I CHALLENGE a comparison of the nnalr
sis of this DISSOLVED BONE with that
of any ofher Dissolved Bone in the State.
Drouth and hot snu do not prevent cotton
and other crops upon which this ferti’izer i?
used, from maturing, as they do in cases
where other guanos a-e used.
It i* 9a 'd by some of the best fanners in
the State, to be the cheapest and best
tilizer now in use. I ana also Agent lor the
Etiwan
Guano,
which is as good as the Irst, and far superior
to many kinds of guanos dow offered to the
public..
Cotton fakenin payment for either kind
at 15 centa per pound for middlings, when
aa much as one ton is bought.
For fu ther particulars call on
