foremost exemplar of thairaone arc far from Memorial In the Coming Campaign
Moron'* Welcome to Jefferson Davis.
Though the notice of his coming was al-
xnwit ua brief oh his stay, Mr. Davis went
swuy from Macou with a heart swelling
with joy and pride. Ho left behind him
men, women and little children with moist*
ened eyes and minds bewildered by con*
flic ting emotions of joy and sorrow.
We have never witnessed such an ovation
to any man. A Urge crowd, intelligent,
orderly, well dressed, with all the indica-
tionri of people who make up a noble com
munity, gathered to do the man ar.d the
occasion honor.
Howhero has he shown such deep feeling.
Am he sainted the widow of Howell Cobb,
presented his qwn daughter to his friends
and referred to the fact thAt here she
and her mother found friends and a home
when the world was turned from them, the
hearts of hu» listeners gave answer in tears.
In another column the incidents of the
occasion ore portrayed. Jefferson Davi*
desired to come to Macon. The people
wished him to come, and the memory of
the scene will last with the liv^s of those
who witnessed it.
home Paragraph* and Paragrapher*.
The Atlanta Constitution builds these
paragraphs in its issue of Saturday :
Mr. Darla will go to Pavannah by way of Augusta.
Bv know that the Augusta paragrapher* will not
abuse him for coming to Atlanta.
We may now expect from our Macon contempo-
imvy a column of abuse because Mr. Davl*. with
great presence of mind, refuse* to be made a target
ot He will go to Savannah by way of Augusta.
Bnt even in Augusta the “flippant para-
graphist” dwells, is may be seen by these
specimens:
The AUauta paper* talk about their ‘ ‘Jeff Davis

Mr. Davis takes a roundabout way to get to Sa
vannah, bntlie doesn't want to be mad<* the target
of flippant paragraphiats.—Atlanta Constitution.
Hr. Davis will ran near a very pungent
paragrapbist, as will appear from this in the
Augusta News:
The Atlanta Con*tituttor^ with characteristic cn
ItrpfUo. sent a correspondent to Montgomery to
report the Jeff Davis meeting in that city. In hh
reports in yesterday's paper the reader would infer
that It was a Gordon demonstration purely, and
• that the Davis part was a mere side show. There la
So doubt of the object of this report. Our own let
ter printed to-day in the Evening New* from Atlanta
would seem to give force to this surmise. It would
tsdssd be a pity should tho occasion of the unveil
ing of the status to the lamented Ben Hill at the
hands of the great and honored Jefferson Davis be
seed for the base purpose* indicated. Let us hope
not; hut should such prove to Its the case, those
responsible for It may av wall prepare for their own
political funeral.

being dead to the world when they can agi
tate two continents. The presenf visit of
Mr. Davis to his friends in a couple of
neighboring States has drawn protests from
the English press and from some of the
bloody shirt standard bearers at the North.
Perhaps onr English friends nro appre
hensive that straggling Irishmen may take
new heart from the demonstrations, and
some of our Northern brethren are indulg
ing in very bad manners and worse language.
Mr. Davis comes from bis home to par
ticipate in raising a monument to the dead
heroes of Alabama. He comes to Atlanta
to take part in the ceremony of unveiling a
statue to a great man who vms his friend in
the days of his greatest trial, and he will
close his tour in Savannah os a witness to
two highly interesting events.
A military organization of distinguished
service in peace and war, one that has been
highly honored by Washington, celebrates
its centennial, and duriug the week devoted
to this occasion the monument to General
Greene will be dedicated, the friend of
Washington, a hero ot the revolution, nud
the first Northern man who has had a mon
ument reared to bis memory in a Southern
State.
All these incidents appeal to the high
est and best sentiments of the human heart
Why should they disturb patriots'' It is
not strange that they have no interest to
miserable, little politicians.
To the credit of the city of Albany, to the
great State of New York, only two hundred
men met to give utterance to wrath and re
venge.
Only two hundred at this one place sang
We ll hang Jeff Davis on a sour apple
tree," and these two hundred ought to rep
resent nobody bnt themselves.
The passage of a revolution by them de
claring treason ' odious, is meaningless.
Treason has always been odions, and will
always he, but the taint of treason is found
by the judgment of courts, and not by the
howls of mobs. The incident is provoca
tive of much righteous indignation, but even
the voice of indignation would bo wasted
on those who never had a hand in hanging
anyone but a friendless foreigner and an
innocent woman.
The North does not ndniirc Jefferson
Davis. Tho balance of the world does. The
time has not arrived when tho icon of the
North can do him simple justice, but the
time is when the thinking men of thut sec
tion should bo able to behave themselves.
We prefer to think that the utterance of
the New York Sun is a better evidence of
the real feeling of the North than the rav.
rags of a small mob at Albany. The San
says: “No doubt, loo, there as throughout
the South, to-day and to-morrow, as on
Memorial Day, tributes of affection and
honor to the gallant dead will not check the
universal feeling of gratitude and pride in
the restoration of ^ha Union, again the
common country of ns nil.”

THE COVINGTON AND MACON ROAD.
Washisoios, April 30.- The Republican
leaders are in high feather over Jefferson
Davis's reappearance, os they see in it s
campaign issne. Senator Sherman said to
day that he was cutting ont of the news
papers the speeches of Jeff. Davis, and the
descriptions of the demonstration* in the
South over him, and putting them wheie
they wonid be bandy in the next campaign.
He thought the Democrats were furnishing
plenty of campaign material for the Re
publicans, and that good nse would be made
of it.
‘As for Duvis," said Mr. Shennan, "he
is n monumental fool, a vain and disap
pointed old man, nosing as a martyr, griev
ing over his failure, and appealing for sym
pathy What he says is of no particular
consequence. Everybody knows that lie
lias felt just as he talks all the while; but
the significant part of it all lies in the man
ner in which his words are received by the
people. The demonstrations of approval,
the enthusiasm they create, that is what
will affect the loyal element of the oonu-
(ry and make the blood of those who fooght
to save the Union boil with indignation.
The effort of the Democratic party for
many years has been to convince the peo
ple that such sentiments os Mr. Davis ut
ters aro not cherished by the South. Every
ouc who has charged that they do has been
accused of reviving sectional issues and
waving the bloody shirt. Yet Mr. Davis
exclaims that the spirit of Southern liberty
is not^deud, and the whole mass of the peo
ple shoot their enthusiastic assent.”
Ex-Governor Foster of Ohio, who is here,
says that the effect of Davis' speeches will
lie felt iu every village and hamlet in the
North, particularly among those who
re in the army, and the result ril! he
seen in the returns of the next election.
Yon will hear thut speech repeated from
every platform and every stnmp in the
Northern States, and before the campaign
is over the Democratic party will wish that
old Davis had been born dumb."
Ou both the Semite and House sides of
tiie capitol and among members of both
parties the speeches are the subject of con
versation, and wherever a knot of Congress
men are gathered one may be sure that they
nre discussing the political effect of, them.
The Democratic Congressmen are swearing
at Davis and his munagera. There have
been a number of telegrams of remonstrruce
scut to Gen. Gordon, and he has been
begged to suppress Davis, or at least to steer
him off upon some other topics than those
he has been discussing. "In the excite
ment at Montgomery/’ said a Democratic
Senator to-day, “they don't realize what
infernal fools they -are making of them
selves, bnt they will find out when they
come to see what advantage the Republican
papers and politicians will take of his ut
terances."
Oen. Gordon** Probable Candidacy.
Personally the editor of this paper is a
friend to and admirer of Gen. Gordon, and
when he was so bitterly assailed for that
untimely and nnfortnnnte resignation as
United States Senator, we raised onr voice
and exerted onr limited inflnence in de
fense of his honor and good name. Bnt
Gen. Gordon to-day and we believe
through the instrumentality of designing
politicians—threatens to place himself in a
position that no fair minded man can en
dorse or follow, viz.; os a dernier resort
candidate for Governor, brought ont as n
forlorn hope by the enemies of Maj. Bacon,
and for the sole object, of encompassing
that gentleman’s defeat.
If Gen. Gordon announces*' himself, the
people will clearly see and understand his
object, and he is snre to receiva in tbe con
vention or at tho [tolls a just aad withering
rebuke. He has thousands of warm friendq
and admirers throughout Georgia who
Htand retdy to endorse ami honor this gal
lant Confederate officer whenever they can
do so without lending their aid to a politi
cal scheme that is unfair to a gentleman
whom the people' consider equally deserv
ing their trust and support as Oeu. John
B. Gordon or any other man -Major Uoeon.
Hod Gordon's candidacy been annoanced
at any other and in any other manner than
with its present peculiar and con-
spicous surroundings, the populace would
have hailed his name witli acclamations ot
pride and joy, and he could have mails a
gallant light for the high ollico.to which he
aspires; but should be uow enter tbe arenn
it will bo bcuentb a cloud of public dis
trust thut, like a pillow of darkness, will
stand be.ween him and the goal of his urn-
bitlon. As sure os the sun rises iu the eas
and sets in the west a defeat, and un over
whelming and mortifying defeat, too, will
be bis portion. Even tbe greut intluence
of onr two Uui'ed States Senators, and the
combined political power of Atlanta cannot
sav . him. In past contests, this great po
litical triumvirate of onr State stood in tho
light of bci g assailed, and the people by
tbeir votes came to tbeir re-cue anil
vindication. But now tho taldee are
turned, and when Gen. Gordon announces
bis candidacy it will be looked upon
attempt to take an unfair advantage of a
pnre statesman anil n true Democrat, sim
ply because he is not s number of u curtain
political clique that is determined to leave
no effort nntried to encompass bis defeat.
So long as a shallow of hope remained tor
the nomination of Judge Simmons, the
contest was left with the two distinguished
gcutlemeu'of Macon; hut when there whs
discovered throughout the length and
breadth of the State such an overwhelming
and nnmistakafcle sentiment for Maj.
Bacon, that even at this early day annoanced
n triumph over his adversary. Bacon’s foes
discovered that they must find
stronger men than Judge Simmons. After
vainly casting their eyes over the State,
they at last rested on Florida, and it wok
then determined, os a last hope, to recall
General Gordon to Georgia, and thee if his
gallant military services, backed by a ring
that bos for yean controlled our politics,
could not break tbe solid phalanx of Demo
crats that surrounded Bacon, and tbns de
feat anil forever retire to the shades of pri
vate life a man whose only fault is an
avowed determination, if elected Governor
of Georgia, to submit to no dictation ex
cent the will of the people. We cannot
believe that General Gordon, when he sees
for himself the nprising of the musses iu
behalf of the adversary that he mast melt,
and understands the true invrardnees of the
politicians that are urging him to enter the
contest, will lend his name to such an un
fair scheme. Georgia stands ready to honor
Gen. Gordon whenever he asks it iu the
right spirit ami for himself; Imt the people
will not accept him its the tool of a political
clique, solely' with a view of defeating an
acceptable and good man.—Athens Uunner-

The Proposed Florutn Extension—Its Value
to -Macon.
Ousx.gr, Ua,, April SO.
Enron Tklxorahi: From Mr. Macheu's
Sunday conversation as reported in the
Tt:t.t:oi!Ai>n, we leant that “the Florida ex
tension is no part of the Richmond and
Danville enterprise, though their intention
is to embrace it in its system." The reason
of its willingness is given in an interview
which appeared in Sandfly’s Teleouapi).
“The Richmond niid Danville Railroad
wants a portion of the great increasing
through travel to Florida." Mr. Machen
also says, “that he would t>e delighted to
go in with some Macon men tend
continue on to Florida," and adds,
as a reason for Macon's continuing the
route to Florida, “that the tide from North
to Sonth would How through Macon, and
the local benefits to Macon will be too ap
parent to every business man to need men
tion." A careful survey of the route char
tered by the Lane syndicate, and which
would have been constructed but for nnfor-
tnitous circumstances in the financial world,
will convince the biisinesl men of Macon
that it will be of more value to Macon than
any road now running into the city. Of
this we have written before and will not
now recapitulate, bat simply give the Flori
da part of the extension. Quitman has
raised $50,0(1(1 for its construction to their
town, and knowing Got.’ Lane’s in
tention was to embrace .Quitman,
in passing onto Lake City, I will give prole-
able ronte sonth, commencing at Quitman.
Tiie road in pausing south, would cross
Withl iconchee river and peas near llellville,
and from thence, crossing ARapnhs river at
tbe Natural Bridge, pass Jasper, county
town of Hamilton county, and there cross
tiie Savannah. Florida and Western rail
road in passing to White Sulphur Springs,
one of the most noted springs in Florida,
and from thence to Lake City, where it will
intercept the Jacksonville, Pensacola, Mo
bile and Darbyville railroad; also tbe Sa
vannah, Florida and Western to Gaines
ville. In passing southward it wonid reach
Waldo, where it wonid intercept the Florida
Railway and Navigation railroad, and I’en-
iusnia railroad.
These toads open up all South Florida,
and northward retch Feraiindina. From
Waldo southward to Falatka on St. John’s
river. Steamships coming to • Jacksonville
come also to 1‘alatka. By means of s)xi|»
piag at this place, you have the world to
market naval stores and pine lumber, aa
well us have access to all tbe lakes in South
Florida, and if salt water is needed, cross
St. John’s and St. Augnstine is reached.
.We have mapped ant a line going sonth
unsurpassed in its advantages to freight
and passenger carriage, and incorporated
in Richmond and DuDville syndicate, make
it the best syndicate in the Sontb. Of this
I will not now write. Mr. Machen well
Bays the advantages 'ore too apparent to
mention, and 1 shall not, certainly.
Will a road of so great importance fail of
beiog constructed') Will Macon allow it to
fail' Can she afford to ullow it? Her busi
ness men and capitalists mast answer nt
least in part. Atlanta's experience ought
to tench Macon a lesson. She lost the
Midland, she lost the Savannah, Dub
lin and Macon Railroad in it,
extension to Birmingham. Overweening
confidence- lost tbe Midland. Macon’s
overweening confidence may loos* this
magnificent opportunity offered to her bus
iness men in this Florida extension. At
lauta has waked up to her loss too late to
remedy it. Tho Hawkinsville projected
narrow gauge ■ hows her determination to
repair her loss, if possible. If Macon fails
to moke the Florida extension she wilt, like
Atlanta, awake when too late to her irre
parable loss. Atlanta with bent yndicates
may easily ran a line directly south, cross
ing Southwestern railroad at Montezuma,
ant occupy this field and Mfteon stand by
and Me the untold wealth, which by right
wai here, passing into Atlanta’s coffers. It
Macon will do her duty tbe prize is hers.
Foiling it npiy become another's. I have
passed over, by private conveyance, the
entire route trom Macon to l’aiatka. I know
whereof I write, when I say from Macon to
l’aiatka the road will be located through the
best landed country of any rood now run
ning ont of Macon.
Thu road will be constructed either to
Macon or Atlanta sooner or later,
identified with Macon. 1 always look to
and feel that Macon is my home. In her
prosperity I rejoice and feel proud, of my
boyhood home. I want to sec her, us her
position watmnts, the grandest city iu
Georgia. This extension will help tn make
her so, und also the great railroad centre.
Her Wesleyan, Mercer and Noun colleges
make her the educational centre. She de
serves all. 1,wonid givo iter every addi
tional excellence that heart could wish.
Will her sons bestir themselves und
udd this road to her already large
uumborof roads. Wo await and will watch
tho Macon TKi.Km:.mi to sec what she will
do in reference to the Florida extension.
The road extended and incorporated in the
Richmond nud Danville syndicate will make
all investments mude in stock secure.
Along tbe line subscriptions to tho capital
stock in land and money will aggregate n
large amount. We are anxioas tor the ex
tension in Quitman, and have already in
notes and giiod subscription SoO-lKIO. Oth
er places will do os well proportionately nt
leasts. What will Macon do?.Will her cap
italist join in with Mr. Machen and con
struct this road? N. B. Ousucr.
