BATUBDAY MORNING:: OCTOBER 10.
Tim Daily Opinion,—The Opinion has
Just passed through one of those ordeals to
which nearly every dally Journal In the
United States lias, at some time or other,
been subjected. This caused the iu»pe n -
ston of the Dally edition of the paper from
Wednesday morning last, up to yesterday.
The matter In dispute haring been satis,
lhekirily and amicably adjusted, we resume
publication this morning, prepared to live
down the combined opposition of avowed
enemies and pretended friends. Hence
forth, therefore, the Opinion will greet, Its
numerous readers at the accustomed hour,
and will continue to be the pet aversion of
certain toadies and lick-spittles, who,
taking advantage of what they supposed
to be a serious misfortune, sought to stab
us In the dark.
With this edition, we extend our eoinpli-
monts to certain disinterested gcutleuicn
outside tho office who improved tho oeca.
slon to make propositions of a disreputable
nature to some of our employees. These
propositions were Indignantly rejected
and wo beg leave to assure all concerned
that mucb more is known of their plsns
and purposes than they suspect; and that,
at tho proper time, the public shall have
the benefit or a fall and complete txpoti
of their duplicity and baseness. This will
make a rare chapter In *he history of Jour
nalism, and will demonstrate the fact that
there aro quacks and unprincipled men In
•ur profession, as there are lii all others,
Indian Summeh.—Wc scorn at present to
bo enjoying tho season known as Indian
Hummer. We question whotlier or not
these could he called melancholy days; we
hsvo never seen‘the summer in a better
humor than It seems to be now, and the
moon, until It grew old. never performed
Its Ametlons with s more seemly grace or
a more radiant face.
But the dust! There’s where the season
pesters us. It is every where—In our eyes,
ears and mouth, and shoe-deep In the
streets. A few of sntumn’s tears wonld be
a decided benefit now.
United Status District Count—fa
Bankruptcy.—In the District Court yester
day, sitting as a diurt in bankruptcy,
Judge Ersitlne ordered tho 12th of the,
rules in bankruptcy, promulged Juno 27th,
1887, to be amended—tile rule, when amcn-
dcd. to read us billows:
. “Tho warrant under Form No. 0 will
specify two or more newspapers, In each
of which tlio notice shall bo published
once, or oftencr, as the Judge may direct.
In the warrant under Form N. 60 tho
Judge will also name tho newspapers in
wblcli the notice shall bo published. When
either of the above, or any other publica
tion. appears In two or more newspapers, if
correctly made in one, no occidental error
In the others shall affect the sufficiency
of tho publication. Tho Marshal, Clerk
and every register and assignee, when re,
qtiirud to publish any notice or advertise
ment, shall return Into Court a copy cut
from each newspaper of each notice or ad
vertisement as published? with* certificate
showing that the required publication has
been duly made."
On the announcement of this rule, Judge
Ersklnc observed that it was cssentlalto
jastlce that notices'In eases of bankcuptcy
should l>o disseminated as nearly as possi
ble; that this was due to tho creditors and
others. 11a also remarked that It was
highly proper that one of tho papers selec
ted for publishing notices should be, If
possible, In tho county ofthe bankrupt’s
resilience. And when this cannot ho dono
there, In a paper In a contiguous county.
An additional rule In bankruptcy was
also adopted by tho Court, which Is as fol
lows;
Rulo No. 23.—“When, during any exam
ination boloro a Register,’ a question Is
asked and objected to, tbo examination
shall not bo tlispcndod, but shall proceed, 1
the Register passing upon eaeh question as
It arises; and at the close of tbo examina
tion ho may entertain a motion to strike
out tho evidence objected to, or to compel
answers to tho questions overruled, and oil
that, If requested, certify the matter for the
Judge’s decision.”
Alter a short session In Bankruptcy, tho
District Court was opened according to
adjournment.
An order was passed for the distribution
of money claimed under various execu
tions,. Also, an order relatlyo to a largo
lot of manufactured tobacco seized for
violation of ltcveimo laws. Alter transac
tion of some other business, Court ad
journed to tho 30th lust.
Gun. Wager Bwaynk, Commander of
tho Sub-District of Alabama, was In tho
city yesterday, a guest of the National.
Among other visiters at tho same hotel
wc noticed Gen. A. 11. Z. Dawson, ofthe
old voluntefer army, who commanded the
Post of Macon shortly after tho close of
tho war.
Amur.—Wo are Informed that n diffi
culty occurred ut tho National Garden on
Saturday last between two men, ono of
whom, a German, got Ills Jaw-bono
smashed considerably by a slung shot, or a
brick bat, from tho hand of the other. Our
Information Is that the difficulty arose over
Agamo of cards.
‘•Codktisy " Is too frequently employed
•* a.cloak for Hypocrisy, to admit tho-enn-
dor of boasts of honest Intentions.
Cotton in Montoownhy,—The Advct-
Convention To-dat—IYo understand
(bat a convention of delegates represents
lng the “Conserratlre Union party” In this
Senatorial District, assembles In this city
to-day for the purpose of nominating a
ticket for the State Constitutional Conven
tion.
The programme Is not exactly clear.
Some prominent gentlemen In tho party
advorate the nomliMtlon of a ticket, whilst
others Insist that the Convention scheme
should go by default, and that in order to
do this, none of their party should rote ut
the election.
Wo have not learned whether the diffi
culty between the Chairman of tile Execu
tive Committee and certain other members
of the party has been adjusted, but wc
presume that It bus. It ought to be, If It
has not been.
Ixconsistbnt.—A friend, writing from
Jonesboro, Clayton county, gives the fol
lowing paragraph In a business letter:
“We had, lam told, rather a novel politi
cal meeting in this place, on the 14th In
stant, held by tho anti-reconstruction
party of this county. Dr. Baker was call
ed to the chair. Col. J. F. Johnson ex
plained tho object of the meeting. Mr.
Johnson stated he could not support the
Radical party, or any other party that was
In lavor of negro equality. Speeches were
made by Col. Loud and others, to the same
effect. They then proceeded to nominate
dclegntcs to meet In Convention in At
lanta, on tho 10th Instant, to nominate can
didates to run on the Opposition ticket.
They then called off until 7 o’clock at night,
for tho purpose of Inviting the colored
friends to participate In common with
their whit* friends in their deliberations.
“O, consistency, thou art a Jewell”
Tux Plantino Intnbnst.—It has been
remarked by practical business men, when
ever hreadstufls rule high, ootton is de
pressed and him vena, lie states that he
hat never known II to foil. The Southern
people, In their present poverty, should
draw n lesson from this strange coincidence,
and abandon ths culture of cotton on so
large u seals and taks to that of raising
grain crops. It Is very certain that the
price of provisions promises to bo high In
spite of reported good crops, anti before
making arrangements for another year
planters would do well to make very dose
calculations os to tho profit or loss of cot
ton raising, to the neglect of corn and
wheat.
Bh onb Tmxo on tub Other.—We hold
that It is the duty of every man who as
pires to the suffrage of tho people to let hla
foitli bo known. Tho people whoso votes
he seeks havo a right to demand a public
avowal of his-political principles. If lie
refuses to do this, we may ho assnred that
all Is not right, and that somebody Is at
tempting to deceive somobody. As a pri
vate citizen, a man has the right to be neu
tral In politics; but as a candidate, aspir
ing to official position, he can lay claim to
no such right. Ills record andhls political
fclth then becomes public property; and
If bo bo honest, he will honestly avow his
sentiments.
Gun. Gnaxt and rna FnasinaNcr.— 1 The
Augusta Republican of yesterday says:
“Tho Maryland Republicans have nomi
nated Gen. Grant for the next Presidency,
and their movement has been followed by
Republican organizations In different parts
of the country. Tho speech of Mr Wash
burn, of Illinois, In which ha defined the
opinions of Gen. Grant, has set at rest some
donbts ns lo the General’s Republicanism.
There Is no question now that he Is ftdly
In accord with tho policy of Congress,

telliycMer toward tho proprietors of the

that the Alabama State notea are eagerly

Tim Macon Tbi.nobahi.— 1 This usually
fotp and courteous journal states;, upon tho
authority of tho Net* Am of this city, that
the Opinion hu “gone up.” Wo presume,
of course, that theTclogreph, and all other
Journals that have been thus misled, will
lie prompt to make the corrcojlon. We
should foci In honor bound to do so were
our situations reversed.
Mayoh’h CounT.—Tho Mayor held Ills
habdomadel .Stance yesterday morning.
As usual there, was n full attoadanco of
white, tan and black, to whom this Honor
dispensed tho usual amount of justice.
This Court liu some terrors to tho unruly
portion of tbo community, and yet wa aco
at almost any sitting, faces with which all
who attend have grown fhmlllar.
AwoubnkdTebm.—The probability now
Is that this Court will not bo able to dis
charge all tho business on docket; and that
Jndgo Collier will call an adjourned term.
He has dispatched an Immense amount of
business during tho Court, but has not and
will not be able to work through the
crowded docket.
Tub Counts.—On Tuesday a negro wo
man was tried before Judge Collier on tbo
obargeof murdering her Infant. Tbcjury
found her not guilty, the evidence being
purely circumstantial.
On Thursday W. n. Joiner was tried
for the offense of larceny after trust and
acquitted on an error In the indictment.
On framing the Jury for tho Investiga
tion of this caso an Interesting point was
raised by General Gartrell, counsel for the
defense, whe objccter* to the array on tho
ground that the defendant should be tried
before a Jury that wo* competent to try
him at tho time of the alleged commission
of the offenso.
The Court overruled the objection on
the point that the jury organised nndor
General Pope’s order was still a Jury legal
ised by the law of Gaorgla and competent
to heir the Investigation and pronounce
upon the offense.
On yesterday the case of Joil.T. Porter,
charged with embezzling the city fonds,wos
soiled, but continued by the defense.
On Tuesday next the caso of Loya,
oharged with killing Conner, will bo com
menced. This will probably occupy seve
ral days.
Tuz Coming Winteb.—Experienced
weather prognosticators predict a hard
wteter. The sad and dismal “chirps-chirps"
of birds high In tho air are distinctly
heard.
The feathery trlbo aro passlug south
ward In large flocks. During tho day some
cease their flight, while others that fly
almost Incessantly, are so high as not to be
observed by the nakod eye.
Flocks of cranes nnd wild geeso have
also been seen flying southward, earlier by
far than is usual. Thla would seem to in
dicate tho probability of a hard winter.
The European meteorologists are already
predicting an early and hard winter, since
the birds of passage havo begun their mi
grations southward at least a month earlier
than common.
“ A Stitcu in Timb ” Nreded.—The city
authorities are hereby Informed that there
is an open well on Marietta street, opposite
the gas works. Tills well has been par
tially protected for sometime by tho re
mains of a well-house, but the Increasing
cold of the weather has transported the
greater portion of tho frame to somebody’s
fire. Now the mouth of tlio well, in two
feet of tho sidewalk, Is yawning for some
ono to tumble in. After some unfortunate
ono has fallen In this well, It will be too
late for the authorities M set about remedy
lng the evil. At present It is extremely,
dangerous to say the least of It.
Powwow.—'The “Conservative Union”
men, whoever they arc, who call themselves
so, hold a meeting to-day to nominate can
didates for tho Convention. It Is expected
that the three counties of tho District will
bo represented. Wo suppose Union men
can hold thcmsolvcs easy until the young
Samson Is born. Wo doubt If ho will
hurt any one much.'

'iS/.MMOT I ft
The business of tho Georgia Annual
Conference, which has Jnit adjourned, ho*
so occupied my time that I have not been
able to answer the tut card of Rev. Dr.
Harrison until now.
I accepted his challenge to “meet” him
“ In a/afr and can did appeal to tho truth rtf
hittory." I have access to a “history," tho
“truth” of which I should bo well plcasod
to see In circulation through tho South;
and this consideration, uioro than any
other, inducod mo to accept the challenge
of Dr. H. That history la contained In
Southern Christian Advocates, and It per
tains to the political pro-slavery character
of the M. E. Church, South. I havo It, also,
In Conference resolutions “on tho State of
tlio country,”, lu sermons, speeches, letters
and various other documents emanating
from bishops, distinguished clergymen,
nnd, Jn fact, fiqm whole Conferences. I
I have an abundant supply of “history”
the “truth” of which i was willing to dis
cuss with Dr. U. for somo tlmo to come.
I did iiot propose to discuss Dr, H.’s char
acter, either mental or moral. I did not
desire to prove any man cither a knave or
a fool, butexpressed a desire to discuss the
past nnd present political character of tb*
Southern Methodist Church, In a calm and
dignified and Christian manner. I believed
that If the discussion was conducted la
falrncaa and candor, and In language be
coming Christian gentlemen, It would do
good, not harm. I proposed that it should
he conducted In that spirit, and that all per
sonalities. should he avoided. I compli
mented the .intellectual ability and th*
logical skill, as well as candor and falypesf,
of my proposod antagonist. Bui I could
find no words idhquate to the expression
of my disappointment when In the lt^l*
lie addressed to me through the columns
of the OriNiON, I discovered that his whole
object was to excite hitter prejudlo*
against vaj personally. He descends 1 to
tho use of personal reflections of the most
offensive character. A proper self-res poet
constrains me, therefore, to dccllno answer
ing him directly. 1 cannot stoop to bandy
epithets with him, nor to answer tho per
sonal Insinuations entertained In bis letter.
All “fair" and “ candid ” men will see that
he exults more In the prospect of assailing
mo personally, and discussing what he
thinks aroiby “errors.” than in Showing
up the reaj “truth, of history” In rogardto
tlio political character of his Church. I
accept his bhalfcnge to appeal fairly and
candidly ty. tbp,truth, of .historyllo an
swers by personal abuse. I propose a
newspaper discussion; he demands a pub
lic debate, or, If lu the, newspapers, that I
must give him a Northern advocate—con
ditions which are Impracticable, attended
with heavy expense to mo nnd entirely
useless—for the North lias long been coii-
vlncod of tho political anil pro-slavery
character of his Church. If he had aimed
at an evasion of the discussion, is It possi
ble for him to hare pursued a better meth
od to accomplish Ids doslgn ? I am con
strained, therefore, from tho spirit mani
fested by him, to decline tho discussion
without some apology for his offensive
language, and a public pledge that, laying
aside all pcrsonaiiiics, be will solemnly
promise todlscuss the Issue In the language
and spirit of a high-toned, honorable
Christian gentleman. I will not stop at
this, however, hut will now notify the
public that I shall continue, with onothor
gentleman eminently qualified for the task,
who has also a largo collection of histori
cal documents, to show up tho political pro-
.slavcry character of tho Methodist Epli
copal Church, South, past and present; and
I shall do so without tho slightest attempt
to dishonor tho memory of tlio sainted
dead, or to assail the character of tho vir
tuous living. I have but one slmplo ob
ject—to sliow up the truth of hittory on the
points at issue, and leave that history to
speak for Itself and tench Its own lessons.
