Meeting of Stockholders. —lu re
sponse to the call of his Honor Mayor Rus
sell, in behalf of the City Council, a num
ber of the stockholders of the Macon and
Augusta .Railroad convened at the City
Hall yesterday afternoon.
On motion of J. J. Cohen, his Honor
Mayor Russell was cal let 1 to the Chair, and
Dr. J. A. S. Milligan requested to act as
,Secretary.
The Chairman announced the meeting
open, and the Chair prepared to hear dis
cussion uikhi points that might be sug
gested.
Mr. Whittle, of Macon, stated that he
was in attendance under the impression
that the meeting had been called by the
stockholders of the road ; but that having
been called by the City Council of Au
gusta, he hoped the object would lie stated.
Dr. Tutt inquired if the meeting had not
been called for a special object, and thought
it should be stated.
Mr. Sibley stated the object to be the
discussion of plans proposed for the com
pletion of the .road ; the proposition sub
mitted to the City Council by the Georgia
Railroad was not deemed advisable ; par
ties were connected witli the management
of the road who held no stock.
'l'he Chair stated that the object was to
ascertain what could be done in regard to
the completion of the road.
Mr. Henry Moore thought it best, before
further proceedings, to ascertain the amount
of stock represented in the meeting.
Mr. Whittle did not think that, under the
charter of the company, any legal action
could be taken by the meeting in regard to
the election of otllccrs. The action of the
meeting could be merely advisory to the
present Board of Directors. Under the
original and amended charter the direc
tors were to lie elected annually—-to con
tinue in oliice until their successors were
elected. Did not see the necessity of con
suming time to ascertain the number ol
votes present.
Mr. Moore renewed liis motion, holding
that it would add to the weight of the
meeting to show that a large proportion of
the stock of the road was represented.
Mr. J. J. Cohen announced that a quorum
was present.
Mr. Moore withdrew liis motion, and
moved that the Secretary call the roll,
which motion prevailed.
The Secretary proceeded to read the stock
list.
Mr. Harris, of Hancock, interrupted tlie
reading of the stock list, as not calculated
to throw any light on the subject.
Mr. Moore explained that he did not sup
pose that tlie entire stock list was to be
read—only those present at the meeting.
Mr. Harris thought that the shortest
mode would ixi for the stockholders and
proxies present to report to the Secretary,
which was unanimously sanctioned.
The Secretary, after examination of cre
dentials, reported 11,137 shares represented.
Dr. Tutt moved that tlie Secretary read
the number of shares represented by the
present directors of the road, which motion
prevailed, and the Secretary read:
11. Conley, President, 10 shares; J. P.
King, 105; A. J. Lane, 95; G. H. Hazle
liurst, 10; Wm. Shear, 35; M. H. Wellborn,
id —all the directors who held stock in their
own name.
Dr. Tutt further called for the names of
those who hold no individual stock, and
the Secretary read :
W. .T. Magrath, representing the S. C. R.
R.; B. 15. DeGratt'enreid, representing Bald
win county; and G. S. Obear, representing
city of Macon.
Mr. Sibley called for the names of the
directors resigned recently.
The Secretary read the names of Blod
gett, Tweedy and Levy.
Mr. Wright presumed that all had Cwme
here to get all the information they could
in reference to the liest means for the
speedy completion of the road. The coun
sel and discussion should be conducted
in a proper spirit, to that end.
Gen. A. It. Wright understood that the
meeting had been called by a majority of
the owners of the road, looking to its
speedy completion. The City Council had
informed Judge King that they would not
accept the proposition of the New York
parties. The city of Augusta did not de
sign to throw any impediment in the way
of the completion of the road; its interests
called for the early completion of this
road; Macon, Milledgeville, intermediate
points, and Charleston,, were also interest
ed. The city of Augusta and the citizens
were largely interested in the road; they
had a right to inquire into its management
Had heard it expressed that this was a
political movement; this was not true, so
far as he knew. If the proposition sub
mitted by Judge King was endorsed, the
work might go on. Yet, the road did not
lielong to the Executive Committee. Au
gusta did not propose to throw impedi
ments in the way of the completion of the
road. The proposition of J udge King to
the City Council, and the published propo
sition of the Executive Committeee were
not identical. Gen. W. called for a full
ventilation of the proposition for the com
pletion of the road, and hoped Judge King
would come out.
Judge King responded at length, stating
that the matter had been under considera
tion by the Executive Committee for a year.
He conceded that the City Council had a
right to feel an interest in the management
©f the road, the city being the largest
stockholder—interested for $500,000 in
stock. He alleged that the road had never
recovered from the seizure of its iron by
the Confederate authorities, and recounted
the difficulties whifch had beset all negotia
tions for means to secure the completion of
the road, up to the negotiation with Mr. Mor
ris Ketchum, of New York. He was not pre
pared to state the precise proposition made,
but simply the general outlines, which he
read, involving a surrender of the assets of
the company for the completion of the road.
Judge King thought it best to accept this
alternative of seeming sacrifice to complete
the road, as the l>est arrangement that
could be effected. He represented large in
dividual and other interests in the road,
and would not recommend a course that
would compromise the interests-of the city
in the road. He was identified with the
city ; had lived here, and expected to die
here. He had proposed the arrangement
under consideration, because he believed it
to be to the interest of the city. He did
not believe that the Georgia Railroad
would go any farther in the matter; a
large interest in that road were averse to
the encouragement of this line.
Iu response to Mr. Sibley, Judge King
read the views expressed by the City Coun
cil to him, and pronounced the propositions
as idle, as half a dozen parties were to be
consulted in their accomplishment. The
proposition of the Executive Committee
would finish the road on a cash basis, leav
ing it free and unencumbered with a float
ing debt. He had looked at it iu every
light, and believed it the most practicable
proposition for the completion of the road.
Was fearful that time had been lost already
in not accepting it; that the contractors
were now wavering on their proposition.
Mr. Hazlchurst, President of the Macon
and Brunswick Railroad, stated that the
proposition of Grant & Cos. to complete the
gradiug of the road for $*160,000 was based
upon actual figures. So far from consider
ing this an exorbitant or unreasonable
amount, he regarded it as cheaper than
other parties could perform the same work,
which lie proceeded to demonstrate by an
enumeration of the very heavy and expen"
si ve character of the work to be finished,
the “cream” of the work having been al
ready executed. With the control of the
entire convict labor of the State, these con
tractors could execute the work cheaper
than parties who would be compelled to
hire and pay cash for necessary labor. This
he gave assurance of upon his knowledge
as an engineer.
President Hazlchurst explained his con
nection with the Executive Committee, in
promoting negotiations to secure means for
the completion of the road, and as to what
he had accomplished through his personal
relations with Northern capitalists. He
strongly favored the proposition of Messrs.
Hull & Cos., as the best possible arrange
ment that could be made to secure the
early completion of the road. In the course
of his remarks, Mr. Hazlchurst alluded to
the sale by Mr. Hull of SIOO,OOO City of
Augusta Bonds, held as collateral, at 85
cents., the surplus to be turned over to the
Macon and Augusta Railroad. That Mr.
Hull had remarked concerning the $500,000
of stock involved in the proposition, that
there would be no difficulty in making ar
rangements for its redemption a year hence
at forty cents on the dollar.
Mr. Whittle offered the following resolu
tion :
Resolved, That the Board of Directors are
requested to. complete and carry out the
plan of contract submitted to this meeting
as now under negotiation with G. G. Hall
& Cos., and others, for the early completion
of the road, to Macon.
Mr. Whittle supported his resolution in
an earnest and comprehensive argument,
demonstrative of the advantages of accept
ing the proposition of Hull & Cos., and
pointing out the unfavorable contingencies
of an adoption of the views of the City
Council, proposing a sale of the assets of
the road. That the estimated value of the
assets was iu excess of what could be ob
tained on the market.
lion. Linton Stephens favored the ar
rangement for the redemption of the $500,-
000 of stock to lie issued.
Mr. Henry Moore offered the following
resolution, as a substitute to Mr. Whittle’s
resolution :
Resolved , That it is the sense of tills
meeting that the Directors be requested,
with tiie concurrence of the City Council
of Augusta, to confirm the contract as
read, provided the right to redeem the
stock to be issued of $500,000 l>e reserved
to the Macon and Augusta Railroad Com
pany, or they failing, to the municipal cor
poration of Augusta, to redeem at 40c.. on
the dollar, within twelve months from the
completion of the road.
General Wriglit thought the better plan,
considering the interest manifested by Mr.
Whittle, in behalf of Macon, for the com
pletion of the road, under the proposition
submitted, would l>e for the city of Macon
to subscribe $160,000 additional, which
would prevent the necessity of a sale of
stock.
Mr. Whittle rejoined that the SIOO,OOO
subscription of Macon was all that the city
could do under the present indebtedness—
s.l6o,oo0 —a large amount for a small city.
On a call for the question, Mr. Moore’s
substitute was unanimously adopted, and
the meeting adjourned.
Is it a Nuisance ? — That's the question
with reference, to the running of locomo
tives on the track of the South Carolina
Railroad, in the streets of Augusta. And
the question will be submitted to twelve
freeholders, who will constitute the jury,
and the case will come up at 10 o’clock, a.
m., on Friday, in file City Court Room,
before Justices Ells and Maher. The fol
lowing named gentlemen were summoned
yesterday to attend as jurors: Dr. L. D.
Ford, William J. Owens, Luke Rice, Henry
Myers, Isaac T. Heard, John B. Pournelle,
Wiley W. Barron, James A. Gray, E. 11.
Rogers, Matthew Slieron, Daniel B. Plumb,
James G. Bailie, E. R. Schneider, Peter D.
Boutct, Geo. W. Crane, James T. Bothwell,
Diedrich Stelling, John Hahn, I. P. Girar
dey.
We learn that it is believed that the law
provides no special exemptions for a jury
in such cases as the above.
Premium List. —The State Agricultural
Society have had two thousand copies of
their premium list for the fair to be#eld in
Macon, Nov. 16th, 1860, printed at Macon
in pamphlet form for distribution, con
taining advertisements of merchants and
business men in that section. The Chair
man of the Society designs having two
thousand more pamphlets printed in Au
gusta, affording the inerchauts and busi
ness men here, who desire it, an opportu
nity of advertising their business. Mr.
John Jenkins lias accepted the agency for
the pamphlet.
Sunday School Teachers’ Union. —The
regular monthly meeting of the Sunday
School Teachers’ Union will take place next
Friday evening, at 8 o’clock. In addition
to the usual exercises, the subject “ of the
best mode of supporting Sabbath Schools
and unions financially,” will be discussed.
The Negro Postmaster at Columbia.
—We understand that Wilder, the negro
postmaster of our sister city, Columbia,
S. C., has become very much oppress
ed with the geographical complica
tions of the country in the discharge of
his official duties—sending his mails out in
every conceivable direction except the
right one. So annoying were these mani
festations of ignorance to the citizens, and
so general were the complaints, that
Wilder has finally concluded that his as
pirations have been far above liis abilities,
and has actually importuned Mr. Samuel
Leapliart, who formerly held the position
of Chief Clerk in the office (under Mr. J.
C. Janney, succeeded by Wilder) to relieve
him of his burden, agreeing to accept any
part of the salary of the position which
Mr. Leaphart’s liberality may see proper to
allow him. Mr. L., in accordance with
the expressed wishes of the citizens, had
concluded to accept the proffered offer of
Wilder, when the latter found a little liitcli
in the transfer, growing out of the fact
that Gov. Scott was one of the endorsers
on his official bond, and it would be neces
sary to consult him with regard to the ex
ecution of the manicuvre. The black negro
endorser on Wilder’s bond, acquiesces in
the purpose of liis principal to transfer
his office, and there are hopes expressed
that Gov. Scott, from a little circumstance
of recent occurrence, in which he was per
sonally inconvenienced, may yield his as
sent to Wikler’s abdication. It seems that
the Governor lias been in Charleston for
the past week, and found it essential for
his personal or party purposes to order a
remittance from the capital. A check was
enveloped and dispatched to his anxious
Excellency through mail. The check failed
to reach Charleston, and the Ohio Guber
uator of South Carolina returned to the
capital to investigate the obstructions
which interposed to shut off his anticipated
supply of funds. He succeeded in finding
the check, to liis great cliagriu, (because
Southern Governors, in these degenerate
days, must have cash at command to grease
tlielr machinery) quietly resting in the
Columbia post office. It is hoped that the
people of Columbia may reap some substan
tial good from this reported “ riling ” of
Gov. Scott, and that thegood sense exhibit
ed by Wilder may be allowed to prevail.
Mr. Leapliart commands the entire confi
dence of the citizens, and has previously
given most satisfactory evidence of liis fit
ness for the position reported to have been
tendered him by the postmaster selected by
“ the best government," etc.
Cheating and Swindling. —Yesterday,
Thomas D. Booker, idias Brooks alias Boyd,
was brought before Justice Ells on a war
rant issued at the instance of Mr. George
W. Conway, charging the aforesaid Thom
as of three B’s, with cheating and swin
dling, in this that the said Thomas?did, on
a certain day and date, in said county of
Richmond, by false representations of liis
respectability and wealth, obtain credit
with the said Mr. Conway, inducing him
to feed and lodge him of the B’s two weeks,
and thus defrauding Mr. C. of fifteen dol
lars.
The prisoner preferred a preliminary ex
amination as to probable cause and such
cause appearing, he was committed to jail,
in default of bail in the sum of $250, for
liis appearance at the next term of the Su
perior Court, to await the action of the
grand jury.
The Macon Post Office. —The Macon
Telegraph, of yesterday, says: We have
gooil reason to believe that the appoint
ment of Turner will be set aside.
Our Washington dispatches, last night,
bring the gratifying intelligence of the ful
fillment of the prediction of our cotempo
rary. We congratulate the citizens of onr
sister city on this relief from the official
presence of an appointee so utterly obnox
ious to their community.
Religious. —On Sunday morning last
very interesting services were held at St.
Jame’s Methodist Church. Sixteen persons
were received into full membership, and
the number who partook of the Sacrament
closely approximated to one hundred.
After communion, four persons made appli
cation to be received as members.
A prayer meeting is held every Saturday
afternoon, at 5 o’clock, in the Sunday School
room for young people, which is very in
teresting.
The prayer meetings in the lower part of
the city are well attended.
Firemen’s Election. —At an election
held on Friday night, to fill vacancies in
Fillmore Fire Company, No. 4, the follow
ing gentlemen were elected : J. T. Both well,
President, vice J. K. Garmany ; John A.
Barnes, vice H. F. Russell.
Green Corn. —Roasting ears, we under
stand, have been on sale for two or three
days past in our market. We cannot
speak feelingly on this subject as yet.
— -rnrnmt *-*•♦- -4BW-
Where it Will Go. —We should think,
to look at the piles of corn sacks, and hogs
heads of meat, in and around the Macon
and Western Railroad depot, that there
was none of either in the country below
here. From appearances, one would judge
that shipments had never been heavier
than now. No matter what the cotton
crop brings, it will go to pay for this corn
and meat, and our farmers find themselves
just as poor at Christmas as ever. EvCry
i>ody says that this is bad policy, but no
body acts upon the opinion. Well, those
who dance must pay the piper, and if these
short-sighted people don’t pay a round snm
between now and New Year, we shall be
most agreeably disappointed.

WASHINGTON.
Washington, June B—Noon.—The pub
lished details fully corroborate the dispatch
of last night, except that the Radical ma
jority is 4,500 instead of 4,000. The night
was ]>erfectly quiet. The quiet was attrib
uted to the fact that the disorderly element
became iielplessly drunk. This election re
sults: One negro Register of City.au im
portant office; one negro Alderman, same
as last year; seven negro Couneilmen —gain
of six. The Radicals swept every ward.—
The Common Council is unanimously Rad
ical. Only two Conservatives elected Al

FOREIGN.
London, June B.—The probable rejection
of the disestablishment bill creates intense
excitement.
The Standard, admitting the peril, urges
the Lords to fight for all they hold dear,
and risk the consequences.
The Post shows that rejection of the bill
by the Lords will not defeat its ultimate
passage.
The Star uses threatening language, say
ing the House of Lords will not move so
logical, desirable or excusable an institu
tion as the Irish Church, and says cries
will soon be heard for the downfall of the
obsolete chamlier.
The News says the vote of the Lords will,
at worst, postpone for a few months only
the downfall of the Irish Church.
The Telegraph says the country has
spoken unmistakably. If forced to speak
again, its accents will not be free from in
dignation.
The Times says they are on the eve of a
crisis comparable only to the Reform bill
—result not doubtful. The Lords propose
an outrage ou a vast majority of the peo
ple by a contemptuous disregard of their
wishes; thinks the bill will ultimately suc
ceed.
The outside papers, which circulate
more among the people, talk of revolution.
New York, June B.—A special to the
Herald says the probability is that the
Lords will be alarmed into the passage of
the bill. The mere announcement of their
inclination and power to defeat it, evident
ly excites discussion adverse to the continu
ation of hereditary legislation.

F I\lE ENTIRE CAPITAL OF THIS COMPANY has been furnished by citizens of Vir
ginia aud Georgia.
It is estimated that over TEN MILLIONB OF DOLLARS are now annually scut North for
LIFE INSURANCE, every dollar of which takes so much from. Southern vitality. Henceforth
let ns keep our investments at home, and we will again assert aud maintain our supremacy. This
BRANCH OFFICE offers all inducements lor Life Insurance of a perfect Home Ofllce, with
these advantages.: The Capital is furnished, the expense of commencing operation* has been
incurred, the success, beyond peradventure, is established, and the whole Capital and Assets of
th* Home Company stand committed to sustain it.
The entire management of the Piedmont is in the hands of Southern men, and its aim is to
sustain Southern interests. Why, then, should Southern men place their money and the inter
ests of their wives and children in tho hands of Northern men, who, yon knmo, do rwt love you, and
who have proved that they do not desire your prosperity, and WHOSE CHARTERS FORBID THE
INVESTMENT OF ONE CENT FOR YOUR BENEFIT?
THE PIEDMONT is not ouly a thorough'y Southern Company, but pledges itself to invest
all funds accruing in Georgia, within the Smtc, under the direction of Georgia gentlemen, in
whose integrity you must have entire confidence. •
THE PIEDMONT gives 87% per cent, of net profits to her Policy holders ; issues Gold Poli
cies to those who prefer to pay in Gold, or at Gold standard ; has already declared 40 per cent,
dividend on all of its Life Policies, and, in short, offers all advantages that Southern men could
ask. We, therefore, confidently appeal to Southern men to sustain an established and perma
nent institution ol their own, and we cannot doubt the results.
THE PIEDMONT claims to be equal in the privileges and benefits granted its patrons, to any
other Company, surpassed by none, and suoerior to many, and only requests parties wishing to in
sure not to do so until they have examined the merits of this established Southern Company.
