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, (STThe conduct and bearing of the In- telliycMer toward tho proprietors of the Opinion during our misfortunes waa dig nified and courteous, as became ono who understands tho usage of tho profession. Milk and elder men, niters, hummers, and (•-hstvsens might have emulated, tho ex ample of our anil-lteconstructlon cotem porary with credit to themselves. State Finances op Alabama.—The Montgomery Advertiser, of the 18th, learns that the Alabama State notea are eagerly sought after. Bui fow of the notes are be ing presented for redemption In green. Basks. The notes are perfectly good,, and their circulation will aid in giving life and animation to business; and lDareaao,ftolll (lea of tin- people for paying their taxes, 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.' Caramunlcntcd.] Editor! Opinion: Is It true, ns whispered In certain localities, that one man on tho Union Reconstruction ticket will probably be forced to the disagreeable alternative of cither publicly pledging himself to support the Congressional Reconstruction t!ckct,or of giving placo to some one whose politi cal faith Is less equivocal ? By the way, teho is this doubtful character 7 Who Is It that Is thus trying to run with the hare and hay with tho hounds? Let us have his name. . Paul Par.

We had three several calls from the profession yesterday. hM Tho Empress of Austria la again] enetemtr. ' '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. J. n.
