Icaenaee, sr Wlul *
We find the following in the Chatta
nooga Times:
On a square test, after fall discussion,
Georgia would vote for a judicious system
of protection. The Senators from that
State, nor the representatives, have been
specially furious for free trade. There is
not a man of the whole list who dares vote
for the repeal of the present tariff, nor
even favor Us serious reduction or modifi
cation as to protective features.
If the Times means that Georgia
Congressmen would vote for what it
evidently considers “a judicious sys
tem of protection,” it very effectual
ly exposes its dense ignorance of
Georgia people. A man who is so illy in
formed on a subject about which he es
says to enlighten the public, is really an
object of pity. But some people had rath
er make themselves ridiculous, thau not
be noticed at all.
What reason has the Times for saying
that not a Senator or Representative from
Georgia would dare vote for the repeal, or
reduction, or modification of the present
robber tariff? Where is the evidence to
sustain this sweeping assertion? We
think we have some knowledge on the
point, and we answer, that with possibly
one exception, there is not a man in the
delegation who will not heartily support
the repeal, reduction, or modification of
the present^law. They will fight on that
lino until the cows come home, ortheir
constituents will know the reason why,
We advise the Times to send a commis
sion down here and inform itself on the
subject, before making such a pitiable dis
play ofiuexcusable ignorance.
Gate City Extortion.
“The people of Atlanta will blast the
reputation of the city, if not the exp sition
if they do not mind. Already exhibitors
nre complaining about the high prices bo-
ingcharged by hotels and boarding houses,"
—Tliuznasvilio Times.
To a man who is not going to the expo
sition, the Augusta Chronicle thinks it
looks as if Atlanta was menacing the suc
cess of the great cotton show. She seems
to be banking upon her probable inability
to entertaiu a large crowd, and prices for
accommodation have mounted up so fab
ulously that visitors are confronted with
charges of five, ten and fifteen dollars a
day jfor single rooms in the city. This is
manifestly unjust. There Is no location
In Atlanta which can command such
prices unless it be a few choice spots on
Peachtree street, which will probably not
be opened for public purposes. The pros
pect of a Urge crowd during tho exposi
tion is, we hope, a reasonable one, and
the enterprising residents of Atlanta have
a right to realize from their pains aad
preparations. But such rates as are now
mooted about town ate absurd. Phila
delphia m her most crowded days, and
Chicago m her royal Templar regalia,
could not touch these figures. The fact
that many unoccupied houses have been
rented by citizens, and others “con
demned” by strangers to be extemporized
into traverns, is not one which justifies
such margins. They are simply disgrace
ful, for they will kill the whole exposi
tion In three weeks, and taint Georgl a
hospitality forever.
Yorktown Centennial
The centennial celebration of that most
important of all events of the revolu
tionary war, the siege of Yorktown, be
gins on October 13th. Already detach,
ments of military organizations are mov
ing toward that old historic town, and
the prospects are that the occasion will be
in every respect a brilliant one. Descend
ants of ail the prominent American gen
erals will be present, by special invitation.
The descendants of the French com
manders have already arrived in Hew
York and have been received with appro
priate honors. Among them are repre
sentative descendants of the famous Count
De Grasse, Viscount Rocbambeau, and
Marquis De LaFayelle, whose arras and
armies played such an important part in
the capture of Cornwallis, and the suc
cessful termination of the war. The cen
tennial occasion is to be one grand jubilee,
in which the French, Americans and Ger
mans are to be feted, and the English sa
luted. Every section of the ountry will
be represented by military organizations.
The thirteen original States have ordered
representative military and civic delega
tions to the spot.

that end. Everything to-day wears
dieerful look, and the future is bright
with promise. Merchants and real estate
owners are justified iu believing that the
present era of prosperity is no sudden
spurt, the reaction from which will be
equal to the Advance. The growth has
been slow and steady until this year,
when the ropes and calculations so nicely
adjusted beforehand, felt tho first strain
of a heavy Increase and have never slack
ened since. All over the city and suburbs
new buildings have sprung into existence
by the hundreds, while the hand of the re
pairer and beautifier has been laboring
and labors still with untiring energy. Some
of the business houses recently erected
rival in extent and style anything in the
country. Real estate has taken an up
ward start conveying with it evety busi
ness in the city,and an upward movement
in real estate is a sign that commercial
mifn and investors have learned to read
unerringly. The truth is the happy, geo
graphical position of Macon Is being felt
and acknowledged. New firms are daily
springing into existence and the city’s
trade is broadening and deepening. The
city is the central point in all those sys
tems of railway and steamship lines
which connect the Western marts and the
South Atlantic ports, and is upon the line
of the North and South roads, from
her position she naturally has become the
great distributing point of Georgia—that
is, she is nearer to more Georgia custom
ers than any other city in the
State, and as stated, is the
great railroad centre. More railroads
centre in Macon than in any Georgia
city, Atlanta not excepted. Six she now
has in active operation, one iu conrse of
construction, and ono projected. With
all these advautagei, and with the record
of the last ten months to back them, oar
merchants are justified In their exten
slons. All of the combined powers of
her rivals cannot, and has not kept Macon
back one iota.
We Indorse heartily the efforts of onr
county commissioners that look toward
the Improvement |and the simplifying of
the city’s approaches. The iron bridges
which span the creeks, and the splendid
highways that lead up to Macon's gates
are silent but powerful factors in her
prosperity. The proposed bridge over the
Ocmulgee, at the foot of Second street,
will be a wise move. Not only will it
prove an ornament to the city, but it will
place her people in communication with
new and desirable building section, thus
inducing investments. Let the good work
in ail its branches go on.
The End or a SralUwsx'e Career
Probably one of the most thorough
paced scamps that Radical reconstruction
and rascality floated to the surface of
Scnthern politics during the dark days of
robber rule, was Franklin J. Moses, ex
governor of South Carolina. Born of
a good family, well educated, and accus
tamed to decent associates and surround'
ings, a bright future opened before him
He was a red-hot secessionist, and boast
ed of having fired the first shot at Fort
Sumter. He served through the war—on
feather-bed duty, however—and like most
of us, found himself financially wrecked
at its close. He was quick of wit, of ex
ceptionally alert intelligence, of large ac
quaintance and popularity, and a knowl
edge of men seldom equalled in one so
young.
But he had no principle. Hewss in
tuitively and essentially a rascal. Natu
rally, then, when the deviltry of recon
struction was organized in South Caro
lina he made haste to sell out to its min
isters. The usual result followed. He
got office, and step by step went up until
he was made governor of the State. From
the very first he bought, aud sold, aud
stole, and traded until his gains ran close
to millions. If he had only saved a por
tion of his plunder he could still be
smoking Havanas at a dollar apiece, and
smacking his lips over brandy at thirty
dollars a gallon. Though he stole he was
not stingy. Wine, women and cards were
his strong suits, and he played them with
a dash that scorned a limit, and made
older rascals stare. His fame spread
abroad through ail the land, and when he
went to New York or Washington the
gamblers and demi-monde filled their
pockets and held high carnival.
In short, Moses swam high and merrily
while the Radicals ruled and robbed.
But the end came, and found him with
empty pockets. He was ruined, person
ally, financially, and politically. He was
too proud at first to follow the example of
most of his kind and hasten to Washing
ton and take anything he could get. He
struck for higher game than a clerkship,
and failed. His habits were against him.
Then he drifted to that harbor and hiding-
place for ruined fortunes and blasted rep
utations—New York—and was lost to
public sight aud memory. The writer
has seen him there occasionally during
the last two or three years, and what a
change! He was lettered “tramp” in star
ing capitals. How he has lived it almost
makes us sad to thiuk, but the story told
below lets some light in on the subject.
Poor devil 1
A New York special says:
Franklin J. Moses, formerly governor
of South Carolina, was locked up at the
police headquarters, Monday evening, on
the charge or swindling Win. L. Hall, a
retired liotel-keeper. Hall was swindled
ont of $2,500 in June last by P»in White,
a confidence man. White was arrested,
Two days later Moses called on Hail, and
introducing himself as a lawyer by the
name of Uassans, (according to tho story
told), offered to give Hall information by
which the money could be recovered. He
said White’s wife boarded with his moth
er, and had in her trunks diamonds and
other property worth the amount taken
from Hall. His plan was to go to
Jefferson market with “his Jaw-
partner,” and procure a search war
rant from Justice Morgan. With
this process, "the property of
White’s could be seized, aud they could
be forced to make a settlement. The
confiding M^Jor Hall fell into the trap,
agreed to everything and handed Moses
920. Just as Moses was about to leave,
he called the Major aside, and asked him
if be was a Freemason. Major Hall said
be was and Moses gripped him. Then
he said, insinuatingly: “MAfor, now as
wc know each other as brothers, let me
have $5 more. The money was added to
the $20, and Moses disappeared, only to
return as a detected swindler. Moses
looks very gray and shabby. White was
afterwards convicted and sent to prison
for five years. To-day Mrs. Hall saw

A Hs^llsUacBsnesUaa
• We find the following in the Nashville
American:
It has been suggested to the authorities
at Washington that the safest way to trans
fer Guiteau from the jail to the court house
during hia trial, would be to place him in
one of the Treasury Department’s burglar-
proof carriages, which are used to carry
bonds, internal revenue stamps, etc., from
the Treasury to the government building
where the engraving and printing nre
done. Top, bottom, ends and sides of
these carriages are made of heavy plate
iron, aud the single door in the rear heav
ily secured by a strong combination lock.
The wi«dom of providing for n possible nt-
taok upon the prisoner may be seen when
it ia known that the jsil is situated nearly
three miles from the court house, and the
route of transfer would be across a com
mon half a mile wide, and through a part
of the sparsely settled outskirts of the
city.
This seems to us a very humiliating
suggestion in this land of civilization.
To say that it is necessary fora prisoner’s
safety in going from the jail to the place
of his trial that he should be locked in an
iron-clad burglar-proof carriage, is a
stinging reflection upon the
character of our people and their
contempt of law and order. Ii it bad
reference to a half civilized Western
mining camp it might seem all right, but
it refers to the capital of the natiog—with
the biggest N in the office, mind you.
What would be thought and said over
here if such suggestions were made by
London papers with reference to the
safety of criminals over there ? Guiteau
is a wretch for whomhaegingis decidedly
too good, but he has a right to a patient
hearing and a fair trial and to be treated
in every respect just as all other
murderers are. In the eyes of the law ho
stands just where all criminals of his
grade do, and has the same rights before
the law—no more, no l&ss.
While on this matter, we desire to ex
press our full grown contempt for a piece
of meanness of which some of Corkhill’a
officials have been guilty In connection
with Guiteau’s case. It seem3 that a
stenographer employed by Corkhill
who was allowed by the latter
to sec and talk with Guiteau, took down
from his lips a lull account of the latter’s
life and adventures, which he intended to
be sold in order to raise money to employ
counsel for his defense. The stenographer,
instead of keeping faith with the poor
wretch sold it to the New York Herald,
where it was published, and so Guiteau
gets no benefit from it. Mr. District At
torney Corkhill certainly has won no
laurels in this transaction, and we are
glad to hear that his professional brethren
in Washington are not at all reticent in
regard to their opinion of the trans
action. Fancy Robert Ould, or
his like, who once adorned the
office now dwarfed and smirched by
Corkhill and his immediate predecessors,
being guilty of such transactions.
It is generally supposed that the heathen
wear the church contributions after tho
manner of necklaces. We desire to dis
abuse the pnblio mind of this singular
error. The money goes to the support of
missionaries, aad while the careful selec
tion on the part of contributors of coins
already perforated and ready for the
strings, shows a tender thoughtfulness and
Tegard for the poor savage, it really, aa

Btoart MUatmh D. D ,
For many years past the foremost man
and minister in the Southern Presbyterian
Cburcb, died at Louisville, Kentucky, on
Thursday last of Bright’s disease of the
kidneys. He was born iu Ireland but
came to this couutry at au early age, and
spent most of his youth iu what is known
as West Virginia. More than thirty
years ago he removed to Louisville,where
his lea.-uiug, energy, earnest purpose, and
perseverance, soon won him a high place
as a preacher. These same qualities soon
brought him luto opposition to Dr. Wil*
liam L. Breckeuridge, and the two cham
pions soon became the leaders of two
sects within the sect, one affirming and
the other denying certain propositions of
theology much too subtle to be fully ap
prehended by the ordinary lay mind.
Each of the chieftains had a strong
personal following, and they di
vided the Presbyterian Cburcb at
the South. After many efforts to recon
cile the differences of the two sects, Dr.
Robinson gave up all hope, saying that
“the Church can never be united until
God sends me back to Ireland and takes
Dr. Breckenndge to Himself.” Dr. Rob
inson, after the late war, while half the
country was still crazy, was accused by a
St. Louis paper of having attempted to
introduce smali-poxiu the Northern cities.
He brought an action against tho paper,
which was promptly compelled to pay a
large adin for its libel. Dr. Robinson was
a man of fortune, and leaves a small fam
ily. As a man of affairs, prudent and far-
seeing, he was as influential out of the
pulpit as in It, and his native good sense
aud wonderful logical faculties made him
au extremely forcible preacher.

the conclusion that he was not as strong
as a mechanic of his age and height
ought >o be. We are told that he had
no bad babiis, used no tea, coffee, to
bacco or liquor, but otherwise lived
on the mixed diet of New Englanders. He
ate three meals a day, was six feet two
inches in height, and could not get above
137 pounds in weight. He became ac
quainted with a gentleman who had for
some years been living on one meal a day
oi vegetable food, aud who assured him
that if he would adopt the same regimen
he would improve in weight, strength aud
general health, and that in a year’s time
he would admit that, notwithstanding he
now called himself a healthy man, ho was
in reality far from it. Mr. S. was so situ
ated that ho could not comfortably carry
out a system so peculiar; his family re
jected the idea, aud he gave it up, al
though convinced that it was light. He
did, however, leave off his suppers, taking
two meals, aud of the usual‘variety of
food, (with, however, but little meat), in
stead of the vegetaraln diet recommended.
He found himself somewhat improved; at
the end of a full year he had gained eight
pouuds in weight, and was stronger. He
now resolved to adopt the one-meal sys
tem, and did so, leading oil' meats and all
condiments, as salt and pepper, and eat
ing chiefly wheat-meal bread and fruit,
the bread made from unsifted meal and
mixed with water only, no salt orbread
raising devices—unleavened bread. With
in seven mouths his weight increased
from 143 pounds to 170 pounds, and his
strength of both body and mind increased
in proportion. His labor had been se
vere; he is a machinist and an inventor,
working ten hours every day, and doing
a good deal of practical and profitable
lldnkiDg at the same time. It Is now a
full year since he came to one meal, and
the weight gained has beon maintained
and bis health is perfect. During the last
winter, for the purpose of testing tho suf
ficiency of one meal of pure food for the
most trying labor, he worked in an iron
foundry for three months, and notwith
standing the extreme and frequent changes
of temperature incident to tho work, on
cold mornings, with the mercury
below zero, and in the afternoon at 120
degrees above, and all hands sweating
like ram, he had not a “cold” for the win
ter, aud was the only empioyo thus ex
empt. He had formerly been subject to
frequent “attacks” of tho above disease.
His dally rations consist of six to nine
ounces (according to labor) of Graham
flour, besides fruit sufficient to supply all
the liquids necessary—half a dozen apples
or their equivalent in other fruit. Ho is
rarely thirsty, but sometimes, if too little
fruit is taken Jat meal times, he takes a
small draught of water m the course of
the day. This meal is taken at night,
after entire recovery from fatigue, usually
at about 7 o’clock. During the month of
May, 18S1, just passed, he gaiued
GO hours, or six full days, working extra
hours at his bench, sometimes working
right through to midnight, and taking his
“breakfast,” after a short rest, before re
tiring. No man in his employ has gained
so much time. He has occasionally made
a trial of bolted flour bread, hut has in
variably experienced the loss of weight
and strength. Dr. Page declares that
since he adopted this diet, aud ate hut one
meal a day, he has had such health that
life is a constant glory to him, and that
his sleep at night, which was always
troubled and heavy under the old system,
is uow dreamless, profound and ecstatic.

Some l'enee Folly Figures
Atlanta Constitution.
This is about the only civilized country
that insists on making the farmers fence
against their own stock. The folly of this
plan is shown in a recent oensus bulletin.
This bulletin show* that tho cost of main
taining and repairing fences in Georgia
the year 1879, amounted to $1,825,652 ;
Alabama to $1,402,609, and in South Caro
lina to $917,W0. These figures represent
the annual tax that 4* levied on account
of fences. The fences cost more than the
State governments. The value of the fences
in Georgia is put at $18,256,250. We have
no data to hand to help us out, bnt we haz
ard nothing in saying that the cattle,
horses, mules, sheep and swine of the State
are not worth the amount it costs to re
strain them. We need all the live stock
and muoh more, but there is certainlr no
need of the fences that have nothing to
commend them except custom.

Conkling Wanted In the Senate.
Kew York Cor Cincinnati Bnjuirsr.
Senator Lapham assumes to be very an-
gry at the report that ho is to resign his
seat and accept from President Arthur a
judgeship, or a foreign mission, or even a
cabinet place, in order that the Governor
may appoint Conkling os Senator in his
plaoe. But very many persons here believe
tiie story, chiefly for the reason that Presi
dent Arthur has not upon the floor of the
Senate a single orator who is competent to
make a fight in open or executive session,
while there aro several Senators—Sherman
Hawley, Frye, Hoar, Hale and others—who
naturally would£array themselves against
the confirmation of stalwart nominees,
and could plead their causewith eloquence.
Arthur really needs Conkling, aud there
are many here who think that he will go
to any extreme to put him in tho Senate
again if i is possible to do so.
UeorKia Minerals at the Exposition

The display of Georgia ores at the cot

exposition will prove of very great benefit
to the State by making visitors from other

of North Georgia in minerals. The speci
mens arc very numerous, and include al
most every mineral known to the geologist.
Iron ores in profuse variety nnd uncom
mon purity and quality aro exhibited from
various localities. Beautiful marble, soap
stone, mica, corundum, kaolin or porcelain
clay, as well as gold and copper bearing
ores, are exhibited. Coal of good quality
is also to be found among the specimens.
Altogether the display of minerals is quite
interesting and attractive, and will, no
doubt, convince capitalists that there is a
rich field for development aud profit in
their utilization.

and asked in an humble way: “Mister,

demure behavior, and withal regretting his
hasty temper, took out his watch and said
politely: “It is exactly 12 o’clock, my son.”
“Then,” says the boy, “won’t yon please,
at exactly half past twelve o’clock, to kiss
my foot ?” and away ho ran, tho gentleman
after him. Half a square off a policeman
stopped tho gentleman. “Hold on, my
good sir,” says the policeman. “What aro
you chasing that boy for ?” To which the
gentleman, out of breath, replied: “ Why,
the little scoundrel told me to kiss his foot
exactly at half past twelve.” Tho police
man took out his watch, and, gazing at it a
moment, said deliberately: “Well, upon

about it; you’ve got at least twenty-eight

Of ail the variety of bores who bore the
business man tho worst, is he who habitu
ally oomes lounging into tin cilice to pass
an idle hoar. This boro is an inconsider
ate creature. Having no bnsincss of hia
own he thinks that nobody else has busi
ness worth attending to. Therefore he
acts aa if the office were hia own by virtue
of paying rent for it. He talks aloud, be
ginning his vapid remarks with a weather
report, to which nobody cares about list
ening. Then, being a confident person,
he volunteers hia opinion on several leading
current events. He is by no uiuuns dis
couraged by the fact that no response is
made to these utterance^ nor any notice
taken of them. His next step is to express
his views on possible issues in political
affairs. Having done this to his own
satisfaction, he takes a seat on a
chair which he tilts backwards, resting
it on its hinder legs, and working it back
wards and forwards. In selecting a local
ity for this chair he pitches on the very
spot where be will be most conspicuously
iu the way. He can hear the conversation
of two or mcro persons who want to speak
together on their own affairs. He is not a
designing eavesdropper, but is so thought
less that the idea ot being on insufferable
nuisance does not enter his thick head.
Presently he reflects that the smoking of a
cheap cigarette will be of general a?ven
tage, not only to himself, but to his fellow-
mortals who may desire to inhale its ill
smelling fumes. It is only because this
bore is respectable in his outer appearance
that he is not propelled in a sudden and
elastic manner from the place whr -o his
room is lelt to be of more value than his

Kaahcille American.
The dress of the bride was one of the
most magnificent ever worn in this city.
The material of which it was made was
heavy white satin mervelleux, trimmed nnd
fashioned in the most artistic manner.
The front breadth was ornamented with
three bands, extending the full length of
the skirt, of marvellously beautiful and
handsome pearl passamenterie disguised
in leaves of grapes and leaves of pearls and
opalescent beads. Between the bands
were medallions of pearls. A row of rose
pleating made a finish at the bottom of the
front of the skirt. The back breadUn fell
in a long graceful oourt train one haadred
inches in length. A flounce of point ap
plique lace, twenty inches in depth, orna
mented the bottom of tho skirt, headed by
a row of pearls. The bodice was a plain,
tight-fitting cat, the front of the neck
square, with ornamentations of pearl pas
samenterie matching the skirt. A Bern
hardt collar gavo a finished and unique ap
pearance. The sleeves were of o;>al-beaded
network, with opal fringe, making an en
tire beaded sleeve. The veil of white tulle
was hemmed with embroidered silk and
caught to its place by souvenir de malmai-

fitting ornaments worn. The bride carried
a very handsome bonqnet, composed en

Blount lor Governor.
The Atlanta correspondent of theBaraes-
ville Gazette writes this concerning the an
ticipated candidacy for Governor of Hon.
James H. Blount, the distinguished repre
sents tiro of the sixth congressional dis
trict :
Some of the papers are asking in a face
tious way who Atlanta is going to make
Governor. It most be remembered that
Atlanta has had her fall share of honors,
but there is a general feeling here in favor
of allowing the other part of the State a
chance. There are many people here so
libera] that thoy are willing to forgive all
the hard things Macon has said of cs and
take a Macon man for Governor.
Mr. Blount’s admirable career in Con
gress has shown that he is fitted to become
a practical and thorough executive. We
want a dear, honest administration on
business principles, and not a man in
Georgia could better give it than he.
I do not know that he is in tho race, but
if he is, be will win friends in all parts of
the State. It seems that he has a line hold
on his district and perhaps can stay in
Congress as long as ha wants to. Why a
man as young us lie wants to leave Con-
gress and take the Unit gubernatorial chair
with its dry goods clerk salary, it is hard to
see.Whether Mr. Blount will desire to make
the exchange or not, I have no idea, but
pedple are talking of bim in this connec
tion.

Tne Romance of a Pretty Foot
From an Interview with a Fashionable Shoe

I don’t know that there is anything in the
world that is so calculated to excite envy as
a pretty foot, aud wh n o person can boast
of such a possession he or she is very apt,
if poverty doesn’t stand in the way, to make
the most of it. A pretty foot is a fortune
to a woman. Last year I made a pair of
shoes for a lady who had as pretty feet as
were ever fashioned. It was a pleasnre for
me to make the shoes, and when they were
finished I put them in the show window in
a very conspicnons place, where I could
view them at my leisure. Pretty soon
nicely dressed gentleman stopped and be
gan looking at them vory attentively. Pres

they were for sale. I told him no, that they
were made for ono of my customers. He
looked surprised and a#ked the lady’s
name. I would not give him this much
satisfaction, but told him where she lived,
however. I was considerably surprised
to learn afterward* that he wee calling at
the house aud more surprised still when
the lady, accompanied by the gentleman,
called at the store three months later. She
called him “dear” then, so I guess they
were married.
