Ixdei'ekdkxtibm isn’t raising any row a>rtli mentioning, in Georgia, this year. Great anxiety is felt in Republican circles to know if Iiowgato will support Blaine and Logan. The able-bodied watermelon made a vigorous contribution to the perils of tbe “ga-lorious Fourth.” The last Democratic President was a bachelor, but it doesn’t follow that tbe next one will be a similar unfortunate. Arthur's cruelty to Fitz-John Porter will not increase the Republican vote in Kew Jersey, or add to his own reputa tion anywhere. The contest before the State conven tion for the nomination to fill the office of State Treasurer is becoming lively Fun is fun, even in July. The Southern negroes may become enthusiastic Logan men, if they have poor memories. “The Southwsst Georgia truck far mers and melon growers are profiting by last year’s indiscretions, and are not shipping so heavily to the West as before," says the Augusta Chronicle. They are “profiting” hv this year’s season of “remorseless drown." The rains have overwhelmed the melon growers, and they have not had the melons to ship. This is why they “are not shipping so heavily to the West as before.” It is a matter of necessity, not discretion. It would not be inconsistent with Italy’s idea of a vigorous foreign policy to hold France to an account tor the recent attack of cholera on the Italian consul, at Toulon. The salary brokers in Washington are in distress. The post-office em ployes have received no pay for June. Col. Burnside bagged the funds. Col. Burnside is an enthusiastic Blaine and Logan man. BARX-iU RNEn Sherman retires from politics on the record of having “voted only once and that time wrong.” He is evidently in dread lest he might ac cidentally vote right, and thus mar the record of his family. Irish energies, across the water, are being consumed in dreary and partisan processions and counter processions of opposing factions. If Ireland were free, she would leap at one bound from nationality to internecine war. General Grant bos hidden himself out of sight at Long Branch. Poor old man! His fall was as sudden as his rise, and it waa more deserved. Mo man can persistently and safely sin against all the canons of morality. The Philadelphia Timet wants to know why Georgia does not apply for protection for her magnetic girls. If the playful editor of tbe Timet will in terview one of Georgia's magnetic girls ho will find that she does not need protection. Tins world gets queerer and queerer. Fcoliere: "Huakim dispatches state that friendly natives had made a aortic, killed two rebels and captured several prisoners." It will be observed (hat it was the “friendly natives” thq fixed up the Job for the coroner. Ju»t sup pose they had been unfriendly t Ir the Zanl Indians could vote, there would be one precinct solid against Blaino and Logan—especially Logan. He camo very near swindling them oat of the best pvt of their reservation, and this is why they don’t love him. This is one of the troths that the Mew York Tribune calls “defamation.” It looks mors ilka robbery. Rcrnr Hayes lux been accounted lor. He was seen a few days since crawling into the loft of a bam with "a eettin' of alga” In hla hat. But where ia BUI Wheeler, who got away with tho money of Mr. Hendricks? Where is bis bait-gourd and fishing tackle, and his wonderful trout tales? The cam paign lags until Bill is brought to the front. Pcslic men should neither be ta il ,rscd nor condemned by wholesale. Every public act ahonld stand on its own merits—meeting with praise or i. u- ire, according to ita quality. Par s' nal favoritism ahonld abield no public man from merited censure. Personal ill will ahonld deprive no one of merited praise. This U the platform of the i«l Me.SKIinEB. ■ The outlook for a war between France and China ia good. The Pig tails are making a great mistake, but tliey will not bo convinced of the fact by any argument less material than “tho last argument of Ktage.” The attack on the French soldiers in viola tion of good conscience ami treaty stipulations will be met by united Front« with the alternatives: apology and indemnitr or war. The Macon Tsleorapii seems very mu h di-t'leaaed because Col. Estill declines to be a candidate for Governor of Georgia this yew,” says the Houtton I! ne Journal. It is all in the seem ing. The Txlecui-h and Messenger l oftener than it frowns, although ■oca* peof le arc loth to believe it. The ■pectaefe of a min running away from , j. Lion in Georgia is not )Id nukes dry-eyed ir-ti'.:' ir,try tobecak On a platform demanding adminis trative reform, and reprobating the cor rupt methods that would necessarily prevail under the prevalence of Blaine methods, the Democratic candidates would enter the campaign with a unit ed party behind them, and with vast re-enforcements from the independent voters of tho country. It would be worse titan simple folly to permit the Republicans to suggest the platform, and cover up all the tattoo inaits with the mantle of a distracting tariff con test. It may he well enough to talk about “elevating the ballot," but it seems to be a case of misdirected zeal. When the standard of citizenship was de graded to the San Domingo level, the ballot went down with it. The doc tors, the professors and the philoso phers may put their levers under the ballot and try to pry it up; but with all their efforts jltey will be unable to get it above th* dead level of a degraded citizenship. The ballot can only be made what it should he by undoing the crime which Republicanism perpe trated on the citizenship of the coun try. Radical ills demand radical cures. The degree of LL. D. Iiecomes mean ingless and ridiculous when it becomes the property of attch ranting ignoram uses as old Omar D. Conger. The business of manufacturing titles has fatten into disrepute. If a howling demagogue is suitable timber to be worked up into a full-fledged doctor of laws, the common sense of the people ought to put them on a strike against the whole titular manufacturing busi ness. The next tiling one knows, the public will be bearing of John A. Lo gan, LL. D. Then there ought to be on insurrection. * Oaors'a In the Chleagp Convention. It is understood in Georgia political circles that the Empire State of tbe South will be honored in the conven tion of Tuesday next at Chicago with tlie chairmanship, either temporary or permanent. Georgia has led ail South ern States in her unllincliingadherence to Democratic principles and in the large mojorities rolled up for Presiden tial candidates. It is not likely that in the event of the success of the party tho State will get even a cabinet place; nor is there even a remote possi bility that either candidate will he taken from her borders. The only way open to those who desire to honor the State Is, to give a representative more prominence In the convention. The man understood to be chosen for tbe place is the Hon. A. O. Bacon, who is in truth a thoroughly representative Georgia Arcadian. Not only would the gentleman named illustrate the State’s purest Democracy, but he would preside over the convention in a manner satisfactory to all. Ills edu cation as well as principles fit him for the position. Fourth of July* Yesterday, for the first time in twen ty-five years, Macon put on her holi day clothes and celebrated the anniver sary of the American Declaration of In dependence. Feople by the thousands adjourned to the park and spent the day amid the excellent sports prepared under the auspices of our Library As sociation. It is pleasant to note the revival of the Fourth of July holiday. Few peo ple yesterday recollected the origin of the day. Had they been celebrating the anniversary of tbe arrival of Colum bus or of the battle of Bunker Hill it would have been all the same. The holiday was the item of importance, and it was enjoyed none the less be cause its import was forgotten. We need summer holidays more than days of recreation in the fall and winter. Under the oppressive best of July day the physical system most he kindly treated to prevent a col lapse. “What a pity Christmas don't come In the summer,” said the boy, looking wistfully through the window into the slush and sleet of the road. And thousands of grown people lmve echoed the wish, standing behind counters,poring over ledgers or bending to tbe work bench. Our holidays are badly distributed. Let us by common consent adopt the Fourth of July as a grand park day. If, in the opinion of the economists, it adds one too many to oar list of free days, why then drop George Washington's birthday. It won’t affect George’s happiness or fame, but it will add to our comfort. Taka Nature by tha Forelock. A word jus’, here with some of our small farmers and croppers whose cot ton crops have been overran with grass, Hay by the wagon load was selling yesterday in Macon at ninety cents per hundred. Why not, we say, why not make a critical examination of your fields and give the preference to the most thrifty crops? If your cotton higher than your grass, cut ont the Veto of tho Fitz-John Porter Bill. By reason of Ids general inertness and abstinence from active partlssn- ahip, IVesidcnt Arthur was abont to retire from the position to which he was raised by a great accident, with at least the good will of the American people. But after his veto of the bill for the relief of Fitz-John l'orter, and the prompt and stinging rebuke adminis tered to Idm by the representatives of the people, lie will lie remembered os a partisan, so little, as to smother Ids own convictions of right and justice to the basest political uses. For more than twenty years this case has been one of a Northern general and his government. While the people of the South Jfelt a sincere sympathy for a soldier who had been the victim of a profound persecution, they have felt that his vindication should come from those who perpetrated the wrong upon him. But now that a man holding the place and prerogatives of a chief mag istrate lias seen to throw into the po litical arena t.ie personal cause of a wronged soldier, the American people as a body will have something to say about it. Tiie reasons given to sustain a veto so unjust and unworthy, are insufficient to hide the real purpose and are too contemptible for serious consideration. It will hardly bo ac cepted, that the finding of a court mar tial, a body organized -to convict, in times of great excitement and peril, upon e.r parte evidence, must stand forever, and that tho judgment cannot be reversed upon newly found and un impeachable evidence. That Abra ham Lincoln approved the finding of the court, may serve a partisan pur pose in a heated campaign, but it can not appeal to the sense of justice and air dealing implanted in the breast of every honet man. Chester Arthur has handed himself down to an unenviable immortality, Without social position, save such ai was given him by his marriage with the daughter of a distinguished officer and gentleman, he had no professional standing save as a lawyer’s clerk and no political reputation beyond that gathered in the slums oi Mew York. A brief and uneventful term in a very high position, would have permitted him to retire with the respect that clings to the office which found him through a tragedy. He will now go down as a cowardly and truck ling politician, and a man whose sense of honor and right were not proof against tho corrupt practices which could make him congratulate Dorsey for debauching a State through the power of "soap." As to Fitz-John Porter, his vindica tion is assured. A military commis sion, not organized in his favor and with a majority of his personal ene mies, found that lie had been a deeply injured man. Gen. Grant, the bitter est of partisans, with the courage and esprit of a soldier, confessed that he had joined in the wrong done , Fitz-John Porter by a military tribunal. The Congress of the United States set aside the finding of n court that sought for a victim to hide the mistakes of an incompetent brag gart. Age and the burden of tbe dis grace attempted to he put upon him have carried Fitz-John Porter beyond the ardor and aspirations of a soldier’s life. The return of his well-worn com mission could carry but little of solace to hint for years of suffering. His sword, battered in the battles of two wars in defense of hie country’s flag, cannot be wielded again at the front of battle. But in thi* hoar of disappointment he may feel that every American citi zen who can appreciate and feel that a soldier's honor is wrapped up in his life, will condemn the humiliation which has been pat upon the honor of the country, through the weakness and imbecility of it* Chief Magistrate. If the tide of battle in this pending contest is to be turned by the misera ble consideration that a man and a faction have refused to remove an nnjust stigma from a sol dier of tbe country, then not only have the best days of the republic been numbered, but the query will pre sent itself to every thinking man, as to how long a government can com mand the confidence, respect, affection and allegiance of its citizens, that per petrates a signal wrong to perpetuate a corrupt party. brought against him, though these charges have all been made and al leged by the Mew York Herald and other Republican journals. If the party does not intend to try to win this time it may devote itself to purging itself. In that event let us haul up John Kelly and other alleged culprits, and if the proof of their guilt is clear let us discipline them. If, on the other hand, we are going in to win, it will he at least prudent to have all the good will, encouragement and votes that we can possibly muster. Wo have reason to dislielieve that John Kelly contributed in any degree to the defeat of Gen. Hancock. By common consent it is agreed that he received tbe coup de grace from the tariff issue. . The falling off in the Democratic vote in New York city may be properly charged to the injudicious nomination of Mayor Grace. John Kelly was not responsible for this. He protested against it. The nomination was made by Irving Hall and the County Democ racy. It was unfortunate. Immedi ately a religious war was opened upon Mayor Grace by the Mew York Herald and other Republican journals. Some persons, friends and acquaintances of the writer, Democrats, voted against Mayor Grace. How many more did the same thing, we have no means of computing. But if John Kelly did defeat General Hancock, it would appear that if he is read out of the party he may feel in clined to pay a similar attention to the nominee of Chicago. He goes into the convention witli thirty delegates, a vote that in a close count may’control tlie nomination. It may be difficult to read a man, with this strength, out. We do not know, not being engaged in the reading out business. It strikes us that we had better go slow. It ia not yet settled whether wc •re in or out, for Mr. Watterson may put us alt out at Chicago. But if Kelly must go, then in the language of the poet, we may exclaim s "Good-bye, John, Don’t stay ions?, Reading Out. But a little while ago and Mr. Wat- terson and his co-whisky ringera pro posed to decimate the Democratic party, by reading out Mr. Randall and those who concurred with him as to the Mor rison horizontal bill. Mow, tlie Mew York Herald, tlie Atlanta Constitution and some lesser journals - propose to read out John Kelly and Tammany Hall. That the Mew York Herald, which is a Republican journal should leslre to accomplish this pbrpose is not strange. It has failed to use John Kelly, and its present proprietor will never forgive Kelly for the exposure of the escapades that made Europe a pleasanter place than Mew York for young Bennett. But the reading ont of John Kelly and Tammany Hall will hardly help the Democratic party to win a victory in this contest. Mew York is the pivotal State. It ia the State that both parties are fighting for. It is conceded that the party that carries it stands the best chance to win. It is absolutely essential to Dem ocratic success. John Kelly has sev enty-odd thousand votes at his back. It seem* to us that it would be a Dorns ocratic mistake to read this man and hi* followers out of the Democratic A New Cotton Qtn. Mr. Charles T. Mason, Jr., of Sum ter, South Carolina, has just completed a cotton gin that works upon a new principle, and is said to perform ita work more rapidly, safely and strongly than any machine in existence. Mr. Mason, it will be remembered, has for several years been engaged upon a cot ton harvesting or picking machine to supplant the darky, and finished his labors too late last year to demonstrate the utility of his invention upon cotton growing in tlie field. The declaration of any man who has invented a cotton picker must be received with caution, but qs the Teleoraph’s read ers are necessarily interested in every thing that pertains to the growth and handling of cotton, and the new gin has received friendly notice from the press, an account of the invention is present ed. The prime idea of the gin Is the same aa that of the cotton picker, and it the Utter serves no other purpose than a stepping stone to a cheap and safe cotton gin, it cannot be said to have lived in vain. Tlie Courier-Jour nal furnishes the following description of tho gin, which was seen at work: In place of the *aw* end rib* now ueed In ell short staple gin,. Mr. Muon hu substltated a hollow metallicCTUnder about lour feet In ill smeter aud vary lox In length losulleny oltbe Sin frami-a now In uae.

Thebrosh which clean* the cylinder, end the condenser which delivers the lint cotton In a roll, are precisely the same as thoae now used In the uw gin. The advantages claimed for this gin are as follows: It is cheap; repairs can be made with ease and without skilled Ubor; the teeth cannot he broken by contact with foreign substances; sparks cannot be generated; works with less friction and less power; works more rapidly end does its work better than any other gin; does not ent the fibre; is not dangerous to life or limb. Tlie Xnrt and Courier says in conclusion: Sample* ol abort staple cotton ginned by tbe Muon yin, exhibited to experienced cotton factors, i",non planters and cotton spinners In Charleston, hare been pronounced to be In ex tra line ion-11 lion and the staple surprisingly long. In fact, aome good Judges declared the aamplea to be worth fully a cent a pound more than tbe same chus of cotton would be If ginned by the in gtn. The Maaon gin also cleans the seed more perfectly than the mw gins. Indeed. If the teeth are placed etose enongh together and the nnmlwr of stripper ban Is Increased, Mr. Maaon fa satis fied that the seed will be cleaned by hi* cylin der Ju*taa perfectly aa by the “Unlen" in the cotton sect oil mill*. He predict* that con a (derations of economy will soon compel the cylinder principle to be substituted for these Uatlng machines. A New Rond to Florida. Onr readers may or may not have noticed recently in the columns of this journal, the following dispatch: New York, July 3.—It la rumored that ne gotiations have been completed with the Frankfort committee of landholder! of the Brunswick and Western branch,consenting to an extension of time for tho construction ol the road from Albany, Oe., to Columbns, nmj consenting to the construction of the road Into Florida Propositions have been made by re sponsible Georgia people to construct the road subject to Iron aud equipment from Columbus to Albany, which the Rrunawtek and Western road will undoubtedly accept and proceed with the work at once. If the statements made within tlie paragraph are even substantially true, they bear upon Macon’s interests in a manner easily understood. It is of tho utmost importance that Macon be kept uj>on trunk lines. This city at present catches a large per cent, of the Florida travel with the Southwestern and East Tennessee, Virginia and Goorgia roads; at one time it had*a much larger share. Gradually, through tho establishment oi ocean steamship lines, Atlantic coast lines, and the Pensacola and At lantic connecting line, business has been more evenly divided. The road described above threatens to draw away even yet more of the business. It ia a connection the Tileorapu sug gested when first the narrow gauge road was mentioned. The Telegraph does not accept the immediate completion of the Brunswick and Western extension as an assured fact. But the building of it is merely a question oi time. Macon’s defensive move is the building of the Macon and Florida Air-Line road. It is to tlie interest of this city and both of her great railroad corporations that snch a line be constructed; else may we ex pect to sit by and see our prospective wholesale and commission trade snatched from us, and the carrying business of the roads eaten into by shorter line. Macon is now a hundred miles south* cast of the great Northern trunk lines to the Southwest. It will be her own fault if she is left east of the trunk line from the Southeast to tlie West. Let the people ol Macon and tho Central and East Tennessee railroad men unite and build the Air-Line road. With that secured Macon holds the key to Florida. To the Landers of tha South, You have been fighting tha Republican party for twenty years or more. Will yon give etr to one question, asked In all sorionanest and sincerity: Are you quite sure (or what reason you are fighting It?—New York Tribune. We hare been fighting the Republi can party for twenty years or more. We have no objection to giVing ear to one question asked in all serxrasness and sincerity. We are sure, quite sure for what rea son we are fighting it! We have been fighting the Republi can party for twenty years or more, and wilt fight it for twenty years more if it be able to stand up so long, becanse the Republican party has nbver in twenty years lost an opportunity to in jure end oppress this section. Because it was guilty of the force bill legislation. Because it wee guilty of sustaining carpet-hag rule in all tbe Southern States whereby the people were plun dered of untold millioni, and a debt was placed npon Southern States which a generation cannot wipe out. Because of the bayonet rule in Sooth Carolina and Louisiana. Because of tlie great l’realdential ateal and the rape of Florida. Became of Belknap, Colfax, Dorsey and tbe thieves who under Republican rule have been al lowed to fatten on the public treasury. Because of the millions appropriated to public buildings, rivers, harbors and internal improvements, tlie North and West have received nine dollar* to where tlie 8oath has received one. Because of the jobberies in every de partment ; because of the paid lobbies; because of the credit mobllier; because of your demoralized press; because of fraud and corruption in every de partment of the government and in every State, where Republicanism has prevailed. These are some of the rea sons the South is fighting the Repub lican party. “Speaking of dogs,” remarked Captain Tom Henderson yesterday, dropping his two hundred and twenty-five pounds of avoirdupois into a cane-bottom chair In front of Sparks’s warehouse, “did I ever tell you of Van’s experience with the two country cure?" Alter the chair bad braced itself against tbe wall and given evidences of its ability to uphold the hero of tbe dove field, some one present said "Mo." A n in- vitatlen to proceed was not extended, it being generally understood that when the popular expressman braced himself for a truthful narrative, the truthful narrative would aooner or later get abroad. "Well, you know Van, my setter, has got just twice the sense of any dog in Geor gia, Dr. Mettnuer's Jeff not excepted.

I moved the pen inside my office and shut the glass door, geiting where I could watch them. When the three got to where the pan ought to have been, the procession stopped. The two dogs looked at Van and Van’s gaze was fixed on space. A puzzled look came over his countenance, and then he trotted up and smelled around a little and came back. Well, gentlemen,” ex claimed the narrator, with a laugh that could have been heard four blocks and a vigorous slap of his thigh, "yen Just onght to have seen those two dogs light Into Yam Up and down they had it, and I believe Ir hadn't come out end kicked them off they would have cleaned np the old man." “What was tbe fight abont, you reckon ?” asked Ovid Sparks, quietly, "Why, bless your soul, don't you eee! Van had invited those two dogs to dinner, and they thought be was playing a town joke on them.” "Yes. I’m coming," shouted 8parks to an imaginary person as he made his way upstairs. “Goingup the street?" saida long-legged gentleman to a broker moving off. “Engagement at half-past five,” mur mured a young lawyer gliding round the corner. Then the two countrymen who were present looked at each other and one said: “Bill, git yer team and let’s strike for home.” And then a red setter dog came waddling up, smelt of Henderson inquir ingly and looked tired; and, spurred with a sodden reeolation, Henderson got up and said: “Comealong, Van; let'ago,too.'
