gentleman well known In tlilft community,

husband of Mrs, Jane T. Cross, tho au
thoress.
TueCnisis.—An old gentleman, and an
experienced business man, who lived In
t:,o day* of "J7, and who weathered the
. rids of was heard to say yesterday
that he had never seen “hard times” before
He had never seen a time w hen everybody
was diir.ulng everybody, and when nobody
was paylng'or able to pay. These are indeed
times In which to prove a maids Integrity.
It Is also a timo to try a man's patience.
ItUDLUKD FaIIK OX THU STATU ltOAU.—
Tho fare on tho Western and Atlantic Kall-
road has been reduced hemds to live cents
l«*r mile. ...
tindqr the now schedule of prices tljg
l»«T om Atlanta ur Chattanooga is ohle
sevolu") dollars; from Atlanta to Dalton
live (.") dollars; from Atlanta to Kingston
three taj dollars; from Atlanta to Marietta
one dollar.
These rates, considering the discount on
tl„, currency, are commensurate with the
Jimes. and entirety reasonable. The rate
before the war was. we believe, live dollars
to Chattanooga; now It Is only nhont
*1.0% III the same currency, for the Mine
distance.
Thk I'iiick or Cottox.—We observe that
in Macon, Augusta, Columbus, Savannah
„nd other markets cotton comes In slowly,
and that the market has a very marked
tendency downw ard.
In this city, we presume there has not
been exceeding two hundred hales thrown
iitKin the market, all told. And yet the
price continues dow nward. Some wagons
from the country containing a small lot
were III the city yesterday, hut lit cents was
the highest hid, and there were no sales
that wo heard of. ltather than sell at such
prices, planters *eeiu to have decided to
hold up for a season and take the chances.
Tho great trouble Is. that there Is not
money enough to move die crop. This is
the case in all tho Southern cities; and
Northern capital will net risk Investment
when tho mills are overstocked, and when
all grades of cotton fabrics are on the de
scending scale. We must hide our time.
Giiant Tee*.—if Grant, the son. is a
itadleai, as Korney claims. Grant, the fath
er. docs not endorse his offspring. On the
ilOth of September the old gentleman Is
reported as speaking at a Democratic meet
ing In Cincinnati.—Augusta ComtiluUon-
elitt.
The statement of the Constitutionalist
and other Democratic papers In regard to
the speech of “Gen. Guaxt’h father,” was
'predicated upon a special telegram to the
New York Herald of tho Hist Inst. The
Cincinnati Commercial of the same date
has a full report of that speech.
Here It Is:
Gentlemen: Tho lateness of the hour
prevents me from making n speech, lie-
tween the two candidates for Congress,
Mr. Smith and Mr. Cary, I will only an-
that you can Judge them by their rccoru.
While one opi>osed the war, and did every
thing lie could against It, the other favored
it, and did everything 1m could for It. If
this is u Democratic meeting, I advise you
all to vote for Smith.
The circumstances under which this
••speech” was made arc these: The Cakt
party—a branch of tho Itcpubllcan party,
organized toy ft sulf-nomlnatcd candidate
for Congress—held a meeting to organize
for tho defeat of the regular nominee.
After Mr. Caiit (for whose personal benefit
the meeting seems to lmvo been vailed, hut
who Is a •• Had leal ” of the Colfax school)
bad llnlshcd Ills speech, “Gen. Chant's
father" was Importuned to address the
meeting, which he did as above!
It should be remembered that the only
contest for Congress, In Ohio, Is In tho dis
trict represented by Gen. Hays, who rc-
flgneil to become tho Republican Candi
da” fo, Governor.

If, then, Georgia and her Southern sis
ters aro “conquered States out of the
Union," how uud In what manner la It that
“Republicanism has saved the Union?”—
Imtelllgtnccr, 27fh.
Her (Georgia’s) status, says Judge Hah-
11 Is, “ is that of a State out of the Union.
The terms, “out of the Union," plainly
Imply the existence oftlieUulon. No logi
cian will deny that. But,
The Intettkiencer endorses Judge Haunts
decision as to the status of Georgia; It
(the Intelligencer) therefore, try Implica
tion. recognizes theexlstplieoof the Union.
If, therefore, the Union exists, what saved 1
It? Republicanism or Democracy fill"
doctrine of Statu Rights ot the oldwhig
theory of Federal Supremacy ? And.
If (us Judge IIAlims and the Intelligencer
agree) Georgia Is a conquered Mate out of the
union, and the power which represents the
Union Is the conqueror, who. according to
the law of nations, has the right to dictate
the terms of her readmtsslon r Judge
IIaiuiis says the conqueror has this right;
the Intelligencer endorses Judge Hankie
opinion, and yet It professes to see a dis
crepancy between the proposition that the
Union' hoc- lira eared, and - Its correlative
that ’Oeorgiaih a conquered State out of the
Union! We had given you credit for a
clearer head, brother Wat i akku.—Opinion,
28th.
Come, Mr. Scruggs, or Mr. Humble, no
dodging. You asserted on the Until Instant
that "Republicanism had saved the Union,”
amt In the same issue, ami In another edi
torial of your paper, in commenting on
Judge Harris’ late letter, you said that one
of the conclusions of Judge Harris—that
liforgin true a conquered State out of the
n—toae a principle enunciated by Cun-
^ We oak yon ugaln to explain how It Is
that-Republicanism has saved the Union.”
ami yet "Georgia and her Southern sisters
are conquered States out of the U nton 7”—
Intelligencer, 20tA.
A distinguished mathematician once as
serted that he would undertake to convict
any man of Idiocy who could not compre
hend the reason of the proposition that tho
three nuglcs of an Isosoles triangle were
equal to two right angles.
Judge Haimis asserted that Georgia was
a conquered State out of the Union. Does
the Union exist? Judge IIahius says it
does; the Intelligencer endorsed Judge
llAitius throughout; and yet its astute ed
itor can't see how tho Union exists. If
Georgia is out of it! In 1866 brother
Whitakf.h advocated Southern represen
tation 111 the Philadelphia Convention, "as
means of getting back Into the Union.”
Wliut Union? Why, the Union. Then
■the Union” existed; and yet Georgia was
out of It; else why did you wish to “get
hack Into" It ?
A I.ow Thick.—Whilst tho Democratic
sntl-Reconstruction leaders and press op
pose both Impartial and unlimited suffrage
for tho negro, on the score of his ignor
ance, they seem anxious to support ne
groes for olllcc. Their theory seems to be
tills: Tho negro Is too ignorant to vote, hut
he to statesman enough to go the legisla
ture and to Congress 1
Appropos to this subject, wo llnd the
following correspondence in tho New
York Tribune:

UIDATKS FOH COXU1UUS*
To the Editort of the Tribune:
Sir: Several persons having written to
me fur Information concerning one EUlck
Mahals (colored), whose nftino has recently
inc before the public (through a letter In
me New York Herald) as a candidate for
Congress ft-om the 1th Congressional Dis
trict of this State, l beg leave, through
your columns, to say that I have seen tills
Ignoblo piece of humanity, and tried to
converse with him. hut I found him to be
so exceedingly low in the scale of Intel!!-
K nee that no ono but a maniac could nave
en entertained by his wild farrago.
Without using many words, however, I
will merely say lie Is not only of the low
est type of tho negro race, hilt Is actually
destitute of common sense, and could not
possibly write the letters hearing Ills name.
Ho Is only a cool In the hands of parties
opposed to Reconstruction and u llmil set
tlement of our national troubles. Tito
mere mention of Congress should lull™
been sufficient evidence of his Ignorance
for all sensible persons know well enough
that wo colored men are not prepared to
talk of sending any ono to Congress yet,
nor will wo be for some time, unless there
Is a speedy change in public sentiment.

Skcrktaiiy McCulloch and tiie News-

Secretary McCulloch this morning Issued
a circular forbidding all employees of the
Treasury Department to ftirnlsh any infor

lic press, unless by special permission from
the head of the Bureau. Iln also directs
that no newspaper man bo allowed In any
room of tho Department, unless on busi
ness with the llepartmont. llo further
states that any violation of this rulo will
subject such employeo to Immediate dis
missal. , ,
The Secretary Informed the correspon
dents that lie w as obliged to lssuo this or
der, owing to the many misstatements. In
tentional and unintentional, put out by
minor officials of tho Department) and to
prevent. If possible, the deliberate matiu-
iheture of ffnanciul paragraphs with a view
to Injure tho credit of the Government.
tST The “ conflict of authority ” In Ton

consultation, a preamble and resolution
was adopted, Instructing the J udgos, Clerks

Letterfrom C«lnmbue*
Columbus, G Sept. 77,1SG7.
All those pertom who uro opposed to
Reconstruction, and in favor of prolong
ing the dlftlcultles under which we at pres
ent labor, have ample means to vent their
spite In the rabbid newspapers of tho Com
monwealth; and why may not a Union
man, who loves the South and the whole
country, and desires the permanent peace
and prosperity of tho same, he permitted
to express briefly his views In an organ
which favors the Reconstruction Acts of
Congress? It apj>eurs to me that those
journals which spit out their venom against
Gen. Tope and tho patriotic and wise men
of the South, who endorse the movements
of the Government In tho great work of
Reconstruction, but injure the eauso they
profess to support. It is not the i«irt of
wisdom, under the present circumstances
to publish llatning and expletory articles
against the men who are .properly JT
thorlty uvlr us. .Every urtlclc like tho une
published in tho Macon journal of thc25th
lust derogatory to tho character and mo
tives of General I’opc Incites the masses to
opposition, and disturbs tho harmony of
tint work, ami thus delays the morn of
poftce and prosperity. It is certainly very
unwise mid unpatriotic. What do theso
shrieking journals expect to accomplish
by thus agitating tho masses? To a calm
and philosophic observer It would seem
that they were actuated by feelings of re
venge Instead of by a pure and lofty pa
triotism. Such men may for a time hoar
sway, hut the pent up forces of
justice and right will eventually
hurst out anew, sweeping every ves
tige of error to destruction! The In
evitable progress of tho ago must sweep
over our land, and those who pamper to
lust, revenge and tetffahness will he crush
ed beneath Its ponderous weight! We re
belled against tho Government; tried the
chances of war; were defeated; wo aro
conquered, hut we arc not degraded, only
as wo degraded oureelvec. Under tho Con
stitution, w e have no rights, and tho South
should to-day thank God that tho victor’s
course is so much tempered with mercy.
I cannot complain. You, my neighbor,
cannot complain. Wo broughtthctroublc
on ourselves. We Instigated tho movement
against tho Government; failed, us
seeing men predicted that wu would, *hd
having •• sowed to the winds, wo reap the
whirlwind." Oh, friends of tho South, ho
not deceived! Dct us not draw down upon
our bonds another thunderbolt! Tho reme
dy for all our Ills Is within our roach. Let
us ucccpt tho situation ns brace men, ns
patriotic men, and by lending a cordial and
sincere support to tho great work Institu
ted by Congress, cement tho dissolving
foundatlonsor national strength and unity'
Wore tho South to-day to any to tho North,
“Wo bury our animosities, wo forget our
prejudices, and arc with you In the work
of Reconstruction,” my word for It, tho
political horizon, now dark with clouds of
wrath and fitful with flashes of strife and
trouble, would brighten with the sunlight
of peace; and, aided by willing Northern
hearts and hands, the reign of moral, politi
cal, commercial and educational prosperity
would he suddenly Inaugurated 1 Itet us
lie wise, and let the experience nt the past
lie to tis n lesson and a warning. Dot ns
notbedecclvcd by placing too great u stress
upon the ” wonderful Democratic gains
In the North. We shall awaken to the fact,
when, perchance, it Is too late, that the
true /Heads of tho South to-day are those
who fought us most persistently during
tho late war. They are men of nerve, and
men of generous Impulses. They s|wtk
plainly to us. and do not dlsguso their real
sentiments. They have the welfare of tlm
South at heart, and the eruven, skulking
demagogues, who during the war professed
friendship and sympathy for ns, an: still
08 doubtful as ever. Then, lot us strive to
calm tho troubled waters, and send up «
cheering word of triumph—triumph
over our own prejudices ami follies—and
thus by a cordial and unmistakable co-ope
ration with Congress, Invito, yea, bring to
our distracted country the full enjoyment
of pence and prosperity.

Secretary of War. It was on the const of

sively circulated, naming myself and oth
ers as candidates for the Convention to be

not be under the necessity of appearing
before the public In relation to this matter;
hut I should do myself Injustice to permit
tile announcement to pass without notice.
I knew nothing of the framing of the
ticket. My name Is on It without my au
thority or consent, and ill opposition to my
fhellngs mid desires. I am not a candidate

birth, a North Caroltuu, a citizen of Geor

Wn.filnfftoii Gossip,
WASHINGTON, Kept. 28,1907.
Official Information was received, to-day,
of uii eff ort which had been made In Gen.
Do|ie's district, to throw open tho registra
tion lists, by virtue of tho proclamation of
amnesty recently Issued. It appears that
8. F. ltlee, once a member of tlm Alabama
Legislature, has applied to tho Montgome
ry Board of,Registration, which Is revis
ing the list in that city, and asked to he
registered, at tlm same time producing the
oath taken by him, under the proclamation
of September 1U. Undor Gen. Dope,s in
struction tho Board refused to register
him. M.. Rice at once proceeded before
tlm United States Commissioner and
made affidavit of tlm fact, with n view
of testing the case in the United States
Court.
A Great .Sterner Divulged.—The Nisw
Process of Petrifying Human Fie*/*.—Not
long a.o I spoke of tlm lost secret for lie-
trllylug human flesh, of tlm persevering
attempts made In Italy to rc-discovcr It,
and of tlm discovery, while making these
researches, of another method of preserv
ing flesh, perhaps quite ns valuable as the
lost one. At tlm Great Exposition, Dr.
Biirnctti, of Padua, the finder of tlm now
method, was honored with a gold medal,
and with tlie true spirit of a man of science,
jie came forward the other evening nt ono
of the meetings of tlm international Medi
cal Congress, now In session at tho School
of Medicine of Paris, and divulged his
secret. Tho great amphitheatre of the
school was crowded with distinguished
medical men from nil parts of the world,
ami when the Indian car ant hud concluded
ills sjwcch 1m was rewarded with an ova
tion which must have been a foil compen
sation for any losses 1m may have suff ered
from having Ills secret passed Into the pub-
iic domain. The following details are suf
ficient to enable any unntomist to avail
himself of tills Important discovery:
The process of Dr. Burnett!, which lie
explained In French with method, and In a
pure und elegant diction, comprises sev
eral operations, viz: 1. The washing of tlm
piece to be preserved. 2. Tlm degratetage,
or eating nwav of the fatty matter. 3. The
tunning. 4. Tlm desiccation.
>. To wash the piece, M. Burnetti passes
a current of pure water throughout tho
blood vessels und various excretory canals,
and then he washes the wnter out by a cur
rent of alcohol.
2. For destroying tho fat, ho follows tlm
alcohol with ether, which he pushes, of
course, through tlm same blood vessels and
excretory duets; this part of the opera
tion lasts same hours. Tlm other penetrates
the Interstices of the flesh and dissolves all
tho flit. The piece, at this (mint of tlm
B roccss, may be preserved any length of
me desired, plunged In ether, before
oeeding to the final operations
3. For the binning process M. Burnetti
dissolves tannin In boiling distilled water,
and then, after washing the ether out of
the vessels with distilled wutcr. Im throws
tills solution in.
4. For tlm drying process Dr. Burnetti
E laces the pieces In a vase with a double
ottom, tilled with boiling water, and lm
dlls the places of the preceding liquids with
warm, dry air. By tlm nhl of a reservoir.
In which air Is compressed to about two
atmospheres and which communicates by
ft stop-cock and a system of tubes first to
a vase containing chloride of calcium,
then with another heated, then with the
vessels and excretory ducts of the anato
mical piece in eonrseof preparation, he es
tablishes a gaseous current which expels
In a verv little time all the fluids. Tlmop-
eratkm is now finished.
The piece remain* supple, light, pre
serves its size, its normal relations Rs
solid histological elements for there are
no longer any fluids In It. It may be han
dled without fenr. and will lost indefinite
ly. The discovery is a magnificent one,
and tlm sooner medical schools are provid
ed with lhll cabinets of natural and patho
logical pieces the better.—Daria Vorrct-
pondcnce X. Y. Timet.
Enameling Ladies’ Faces.—This Is the
way It Is done:
Y ou first apply to tlm female fitec divine
a wash of elder water, which removes overy
Impurity. This done- you lave the face
anew with tepid water, then dry tho skin
with fine linen till It Is perfectly smooth
and velvety. Y’on then apply to this sur
face a perfectly white—a pink white, or a
cream white enamel. Tho renl Dari* en
amel, or email de Parie, Is slightly tinted
I* Is a paste and covers tho surface smoothly,
making It marble-llke. The artificial cov
ering, being thick, lasts a long time, hut
tlm foee must not be washed. In onler to
remove nny impurity from tlm skin, or
rather the enamel, a small sponge dipped
In rose water ls used and the enamel care
fully restored.
RlstorDs dice Is enameled nightly.
The followers of this fashion arc, in Eng
land, Miss Rurdett Coutts, and the fair
lady whose husband refused to pay sc
thousand pounds for numberless el
clings.
Tho price at a “permanent enameling”
Is fifty dollars.
1 f skillfully done, and the cheeks touched
with rouge, with a little “fixing up” of
eyebrows, you cannot, at nlglit, and a foot
or two off, tell nil old woman from a young
one.;
In America tho fair Mrs ID follows thU
fashion to thoroughly that sho coats Dice,
arms and neck with tho pearly preparation.
She is kept in countenance by the wealthy
.Mi -. B. and sundry others.
Tho ladles of tho demi-monde, however,
aro the most fervent of tho hoi levers In
