Less than a year since many of our townsmen In the honest exuberance of their enthusiasm dragged out the can non and fired a tremendous salute in honor of a great Democratic victory. Later a magnificent torch-light pro cession painted the town a fiery red, and patriotic addressee circulated amid the blare of trumpets, the roll of drums and the wild huzzas of the voters. The centre of these demonstrations was our post-office. Every shot fired was supposed to strike terror into the hearts of the offensive partisans within its walls; tho fiery glow ot a myriad torches were supposed to play upon their anxious faces aa they peeped into the night, the gloom that overhung the building when elsewhere gay illumination was the order of the hour, was supposed to be typical of the sadness which enveloped them. Ten years since this same post-office witnessed another scene. Thous ands of black and offensive partisans from this and surrounding counties sought to seize and hold the polls. A little band ol devoted Demo crats braved tire mob and the wrath of a partisan government and shed their blood in defense of their rights and privileges. Msny of them were arrested and carried to Savannah for trial. They risked everything, for justice had fled from the courts and Federal power held in check the will of this people. They triumphed, and or der took the place of chaos. Bnt to-day the offensive partisans who looked upon that remarkable fight and shielded in the government vault the ringleader of the black mob, who looked out and beheld the triumphant celebration of a Democratic victory last November, still hold their citadel. Ten Republican negroes draw fat salaries, while of the very men who battled bravely in defense of the people’s liber- stand by without work, or labor for poor pay in such places as they can find. This is modern Democracy and pro gressive reform. It were well if Macon stood alone in this matter. She does not. Through out the length and breadth this Southern land tho same state oi affairs exists. The 1 empty honor of victory is with the people, the enemy is yet in possession of tbe offices, e; gaged in administering the government, and renewing their old time insolence as the safety of their position is assured. So iar as the South concerned it is neither better off nor worse lor the Democratic victory. The one great bond that united the people was the determination to rid the land of the aliens who ruled in high places. This determination has been defeated from within. The final result cannot be prophesied. Tt seems to us that never before ha^e Southern Congressmen had such oppor- lunlty to represent their constituents a manly and fearless way. The de mand of the hour is that tbe man whom Southern Democrats placed in office to sweep ont oi sight the last vestige of Republicanism, shall at once proceed carry ont his mission. Let Southern members make this demand individually and collectively. Will they do it. We think not. There are too many Blounts in Congress from this section, and the Macons they in fest will doubtless have to submit to coalitions and African rule to sustain them in power. But there is a force behind even members of Congress, which, though oft in error, is never de stroyed anil wins in the long run, Democrats know how to wait. preacher who spoke God’s word to tho people, bound up the wounded and ministered unto the sick *, he was all gentleness and purity, all love; his ministry was the ministry of love, his example an exam ple for all ages. When he left his great work in mortal hands, be bade those who received it go into all the world and carry on this work. We must doubt tbe man who declines to accept his Master as his type. We cannot reconcile the methods and the language of gam Jones with the man who died on Calvary. One tells a young man that he “ought to have been in hell before he ever saw a ihurch,” because he takes a dram; the ither stretches out his arms a refuge for the blackest sinner on earth. One says oi a girl who allows a man to clutch her arm, “you aro as licentious as hell;” the other says of one who had sunk to the lowest depths, “let him who is without sin first east a stone." One says that no society woman can ever reach heaven; the other goes into this society, mixes with its members and turns the water to wine for their pleasure. One is as different from the other as night from day. We prefer the latter. This is written not to open, hut to close discussions of Sam Jones, as far as the Telegraph is concerned The country between Macon and Cov ington is a itch one, and will feel the stimulus oi a railroad at once. The line itself is important. We look for ward to the day when, under better railway laws, a new line of road will spring into existence leading straight down through the heart of Georgia and the heart of Florida, from Athens to Kissimmee.

Noyes, of Ohio, to bo a Pacific railroad commissioner—an office of (bo highest dignity rad responsi bility. has been a cc H painful surprise. Jefferson Davie. We have had the pleasure of reading a private letter from Jefferson Davis to a gentleman in this city. Mr. Davis speaks very tenderly of Macon, and oi tlie occasion oi his detention here as a prisoner, and says that his father was a Georgian and a Baptist preacher. He also refers to the Hon. Howell Cobb as one of the best and truest men he had ever known. Mr. Davis is engaged on an edition of his book, which shall be mainly his torical. It will treat of the formation of the government and contain an ar gument on the true meaning of the constitution. His health is good, and the handwriting and the composition indicate that his nervous and intellect ual powers are in good condition. His straitened circumstances prevent him from employing much ueeded aid in his literary labors. Compliments tempered With Jests Says tbe Eulanla Times-. The Macon TzixoBArn akd Messenger ol the 8th, got ahead of Governor McDaniel In delivering a menage to the Legislature ot Georgia on Wednesday last, tt write a tute lage covering «uch polnte at tt thought the Governor ought to dlicuie, and published It eight o» ten hours In advance ot hie official messige, poetcrlptlng a reference to the bo, document with the remark, that the Governor might alter and amend It In tome particulars. It was altogether tho cleverest performance and beat hit ot tun tho Telegraph hai gotten off since it got back Into party traces. In ita fight agalnat rings and unclean methods, the TiLEGBAri! has ever had a firm friend and ally in the Timer, and now that It Is again on top and nettling the rlngatera and achemers and wire-pullers ot Georgia, we bid It a. God speed In the hope thst It may succeed In cleaning them all out. We regret to note that the Times robs Governor McDaniel ot whatever merit there may have been in his re cent message as published in our col umns, although we duly appreciate the the compliment passed. But the Times must intend its remarks about our get ting back into the traces as a sly jest. The Telegraph has had occasion more than once to hold back and keep the lead horses from ditching the machine, but it has never, in our recollection, ever gotten out of tbe traces or strad dled the pole. l’erhaps it may be in order to remark that some of the lead horses now ap pear to have the hip-lift, whilo the Tbleorapii draws steadily at the wheel. But all the same, we shall be be glad to have the Times assist in cleaning ont the rings. What an Admlr Utrntior. Mr. Cleveland has enlarged his de finition of what an administration is. He says that be considers tbe collector of the Port of New York as a “part of of the administration.” This is in ac cordance with a recent statement of the Telegraph. Every appointeeof the President is part of the administration, and every appointee of the men he places in office or retains is a part of it also. And for this reason it is difficult to see how a Democratic administration can exist when the large majority of those who administer it are Republicans. We are informed that it is the Presi dent’s intention to hasten the changes in office. We trust the information is true, and that power will be given the heads oi departments to make changes in their own forces. The Public Sulfaln*. The committee charged with the se lection oi a site for the public building have decided upon the vacant lot on the corner of Mulberry and Third streets. The choice provokes no ob jections ; indeed the location is an ad mirable one, being convenient to the business portion of the city and afford ing ample room for the erection of a building that will be an ornament. This choice will be emphatically in dorsed by the community. Two Critics. The Montezuma Record read* the Telegraph a lecture upon the sin of criticising the religion of Atlanta ditors, and a correspondent at Eufau- la sends us a sermon, marked private, which deals with our brief remarks concerning Bam Jones. To the first oi ttiese it need only be ■aid that we merely com pared these editors’ public utterances with their conduct as public men. With their private characters we have nothing to do. We have not been able to understand how the sentiments they have publicly expressed can be made to harmonize with tho fraud they daily practice when they steal the news paid for by other journals and give the item* obtained false dates in order to deceive their readers. Ex- poinre accomplishes good in inch in stances, while silence assists fraud and encourages hypocrisy. Aa to Bam Jones, we merely decline to believe that vulgarity in the pulpit accomplishes any permanent good. 8o far as Sam Jones proceeds as preacher of the gospel we uphold and honor him, but when he leaves the gospel to denounce In coarse and vulgar language classes and people we know to be as pure as may be found, he becomes a demagogue working to attain notoriety, and aa each we speak of him. The Teligbafh Is a secular paper, dealing with such objects and subjects as day by day appear.

At the same time it tries to remember tha'. allowances must be made for the weakness of humanity. What it says is spoken openly. It it errs and is conscious of enor, it re dresses the wrong committed. If it believes itself in the right, threats nor money can move it. Any journal that is less than this, not fit to be carried into tbe family cir ri*. Tha Exodus ot the administration. It is announced that office giving will cease, and that Mr. Cleveland will take to the woods for some weeks. Doubtless he feels like resting. Tho heads of the departments will scatter, and the government will be practically run for weeks by tbe Republican un derlings, who are still in office. The government goes for a rest, and not for ajjunket. Perhaps the hegira is not come too soon. It is a propitious time to quit ap pointment making, when an honorable and responsible position is bestowed upon such as Noyes. About the same time it seems that a Colonel Armstrong was also given an office, and yet Colonel Armstrong is said to have been deeply concerned with some very disreputable company in the star route frauds. It is more than likely that Mr. Cleve land bad underestimated tho task of turning over the government from one party to another. A month or two in the mountains, and he will havo op portunity to “catch his second wind,” and will he enabled to renew the con flict with increased strength and con fidence. It will be wetl for Georgia if on his return he can see his way clear to turn ing ont the “offensive partisans” who smilingly enjoy fat offices, and rely upon the “coalition” to protect them.

These are brave words from an able journal, and we reproduce them with pleasure.

AR irrORT TO ADD TWO JIOBX UIOH-MUCID WOBKS or AST VO TH1 STATS’* COLLXC* TIO*—THE FBEK PASS ICABDAL—THB HZ- BILL1XG PBIVILEGE, TZLEGRAFH BUKIAO, YIH PIACRTBZI ST„ Atlanta, Oa., July 11. The art council e jtj on the finance com mittee of the House have made another break in tbe direction ot adorning the walls of the House of Representative! with portraits of distinguished Georgians. In the committee meeting yesterday there was greatconlest over ■ bill Introduced at the last session appropriating 8300 each (or portraits ot the late Jesse Mercer and Blsbop George Pierce. There was vigorous opposition to the bill in the committee, but finally by a vote ofl2 to 11 it was de cided to report It back favorably. There meny reasons why the goed tense of the House ought to put an end to this portrait creze. In the firat place the wails ot tbe old building are In no condition to be hang wit" portraits, good, bad, or indifferent, and never will be. In tbe second place tbe State is just low tn no position financially to pay out fancy prices tor alleged works of art. Bbe baa already almost placed bersbll in tbe eemblance of the rich par venu, tbe pork millionaire, who goes ahiosd and spends fabulous rams tor works of ait, choice brie a brae, which prove to be Imitation or medioci e at best. Many of the portraits which hang on tbe wal s are anything bat masterpieces —several ot them are mere daubs ot no credit to the State or tbe judg ment of the purchasing committee. Moieover, they have been paid (or at extravagant rates. I hive heard that portraitr for which the State appio- iriated 8500 and 81.0X1 could have been had ust ns well for two and three hundred dol lars—and to Borne cases dear at that Georgia hu bad many distinguished and nobla sons, whose portraits would adorn atm honor the walls of her capitol, and it would b) no extravagance, bnt commenda ble la tbe LeRtalstare to have them there in splendid and faithful likeness, painted by me hand ot a genuine artist It is to be hoped that in time they will hang there. But it will also be fit time, if she waits till (he gets ia her new home, a dean and honest bnildiug, whose walls rise toward the heavens grand and stately; when the public coders have money which does not belong to her creditors, when she can com mand the best skill ot tbe artist amt tbe brash of genius. There is no need of rush after the present school ot portrait paint- era. Perhaps when the new capitol Is completed toe Statewlll havemore money, and ber sens more genius and (kill with the brush. At any rate she can afford to wait, as than will hardly ba any greater lack of money or artiste then than now. It is understood tbe bill will meet with strong opposition when It comes np in the House. If the bill passes it is likely an amend ment will be made to tt providing for the painting of tbe portrait ot the late Bishop Elliott, another distinguished son ot Geor gia, ot whom all Georgians are proud, rail passes. It has been intimated in some quarters, and openly charged In others, that some members ot the Legislature when they get to the city hire out their railroad passes to Atlanta drnmmersor others, or loan them out pro miscuously. Ssveral leading members if the House ware dlscnsalag this practice this morning In very severe terms. While It was not known bow or on what terms these passes got out of tha bands ot those who held them by courtesy ot tha railroad companies, Instaneea were cited In tha observation ot several preaent where theta passes were ottered conductors on trains by parties who were not members of th* Legislature and had no right or title to them. In some eases the passes were merely taken np by conductors after dis covering that the passenger was not a member of tbe Legislature. Tba gentle men who were discussing th* matter agreed that tbe practice is notonly a groat breach oi court— " " •* — " body of axpiieaad _ conld ba obtained, to aak for a committee o( investigation.

An Investigation notwith standing would not ba amisi. Tha reformatory bill baa been rererrod to a sptdal committee, consisting ol tba chairman ot tha committees on finance, the Judiciary and tba penitentiary. To these the Speaker added two member! (ram each ot the committees named. This places tha matter in aata hands. AUOCI THE aialLLIXO PRIVILEGE. A distinguished gantleman, largel7 in terested In railroads, expressed tbe opin ion to-day that the action ot tha Atlanta merchants yesterday In regard to tha abolishment ot tna resblpplng priv ileges wes unjust to tha roads, and tended to create tba Impression that tbara Is a discrimination against Atlanta. Atlanta has simply bean placed npon an equality with other commercial points In tha State who are as much untitled to reblUlng priv ilege! as Atlanta. Ha thinks tba roads cannot afford to grant such a privilege and ought not to have done so in tba firat in- etance. He expressed somewhat an appre hension that If the prase and merchants ot other commanlties kept silent and let At- anta go ahead, that she might succeed in Ratting wbat aba demands, and tbui place ber at a great adrautege over other Georgia clues. Atlanta wantatna earth, regardless ot th* equal right* ot othata, and she howls for it till aba gets 1L Masara. Harris and Gnatin were In _ dlltmma after dinntr whether to taka tba afternoon train horn* or saa tha great game between Macon and Atlanta. Pa- iriotiam prevailed and thay compromised by staying this afternoon to tee the gams and go home on tha night train. DXC1StOS IK THE OGLETHORPE COST1CT CAMP CASE. Borne weeks ago charges were preferred before the Governor against tbe convict camp In Oglethorpe coanty under the control of Hon. James M. Smith. These charges wtra Ill-treatment ot con riots, and fending them with bad toed. The charges were mainly beted npon tha testimony of con victs. The matter was carefully Investi gated and a full hearing and argument Today tha case wan disposed of by tha requesting tea Capitol Commissioners to ascertain and report whet wonid be the additional cost over the 81.000.000 to now habilitate Georgia marble or gran- U S . ? or * he material already adopted. The commissioner* have prepared a report on the subject and it will be submitted Monday. It appears from the figures furnished bv the contract or! that tbe difference in coat will be about 820( 000 and tbe commisilonera do not en courage any attempt at change. In this connection it is of interest to note, as stated in the report, that tha total cost ot ail the ooletic limestone to be used In tke building Is only 870,000, 88tl of this gross amount 840 000 will be paid the railroads for freight. The work of sawing and dressing rite stone will be done here. So praotlcslly only 830,000, or a Hula over, of the Stale's money will be stnt to Indiana tor ma terial.

Owing to the fact that sesrvy with Its ravageh lias appeared from tine in time ln many o( the camps, It Is regarded as essential that all lessees end their offi cials ln charge ot camps should be familiar with the causes producing this disrate. There are only two causes proper. First the absence ot fresh meat as a ration, or its Introduction in insufficient quantulei or not sufficiently often. Second, the ab sence of fresh or snccnlent vegetables as s part of the diet, or their introduction ln quantities insufficient or not eofficientl; uiten. With a bufiiciency of the above two mentioned articles of food, scurvy never makes Its appearance. Dried beans, peas, rice, wheat and accb like cereals are not vegetables, in an anti- scot bntlc sense, having no more effect In reventing scurvy than the bread made MrajOfterant from the c : grain, as wheat, com. rye, oats, etc. Thyalctans differ as to which is the best antiscorbutic, fresh meats or froth vegetables: bnt all. however, agree that the tao combined, fresh mest9 and succnlent vegetables, make tbe very led antiscorbutic diet, and when served to the human being ln snffident quantities sej sufficiently otten make senrvy impossible. Fresh meats, as beef, mutton or pork, ihafl be servtd two different days in each week at leaet, and fresh, euccnlent Tigris- blea at least three days in each week tn sufficient quantities. On the dava tbit fresh vegetables are not aeivtd dried fruits, such as peaches or apples well cooked, or srar kraut, may be served ons meal a day. Molasses o( good quality may be served two days of each week. Vinegar oI good qualiiy, with salt and pepper, shall bs served wltbont stint. The ration for each convict, when fresh beef or inntton is issued, shall bs two pounds per day. When side bacon is it- sued, tbree-tourtbs ot cne pound shaM bs Issnsd per daj lot each ccsfW, WM bread shsll ba given tbe convicts twlcs each week, and corn brrad five days io tbs week.

It shall be (be duty of the lessees, or those in charge ot camps, to see that ins ration Is properly prepared, properly cook ed and properly served. No bread made from th* meal ot mast;, or corn that has been over heated, will be allowed served to convicts. Tift health and well being of the con victs ln camp will, to a great extant, de pend npon tne pri paratton ot their food, and It Is urged that the lessees give special attention to the details ol the culinary de partment of their camps.
