J 6&" During a pow wow at Eutaw,
Greene county, Alabama, on Wednes
day, somebody jostled Hayes, the scalla
wag candidate for Congress, when he
drew a pistol and fired into the crowd,
which was the signal for a general dis
charge of arms on all sides. Ten ne
groes were wounded and one killed.
A Deserving Man. —We are glad
to find that Mr. George W. Hunt still
retains a position on the State Road, and
for sobriety and reliability, has recently
been given a conductor’s place on a
through freight train. George is a
wounded confederate, a clever, accommo
dating young man, and deserves the fa
vorable consideration of any company
the Road may be in charge of.
Accident on Central Railroad.
—As the down train from Macon to Sa
vannah on the Central Railroad, on
Friday night last, was near No. 5, Cen
tral Railroad, a man and boy and a ne
gro, who had been hunting, had taken
seats on the track, and, in thmr fatigue,
dropped to sleep. The train passed over
them. The white man was killed, and
the boy and negro badly mangled. The
boy lost his leg. Both will probably
die.— Macon Tvleyraph.

The D’Orvnl prophecy, written
by a monk some centuries ago, traced
out distinctly the wonderful career of
Napoleon the Great—his overthrow—
his return from Elba and final downfall
—the ascent of Louis Napoleon to the
throne—the Crimcrian war and other
incidents, ending with the final down
fall of Louis Napoleon by a bloody con
quest at Paris, in which the Seine be
comes red with the blood of the French,
after which a young Prince of the old
legitimate stock reigns in Franco with
great popularity. With this the proph
ecy ends.
Democratic Executive Com
mittee.
The State Executive Committc assem
bled in Atlanta, Saturday 22d ult., at
10 o’clock. The meeting was full, ten
members present besides the Chairman.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed. when tk# Committee adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the Chairman :
Resolved, unanimously, That in the
judgment of this committee, it would be
unwise and inexpedient, for the people
of Ceorgia to attempt to hold an elec
tion on Tuesday after the first Monday
in November, and that it would be wise
and politic for all the people of the State
who are entitled under existing laws, to
vote at the election commencing on the
20th, 21st and 22d day of December
next.
Resolved, That wo recommend the
Democrats and Conservatives of the
State to organize in each county, and in
due time to bring forward their candi
dates to bo voted for at the election to
be held on the 20th. 21st and 22d days
of December next.
Resolved, That personal aspirations
and individual preferences should bo
cheerfully surrendered for the public
good, and where nominations are made,
all who desire the defeat of the party in
power, should give the nominees their
cordial support.

Tlie New York Democratic
Mass Meeting.
The New York World says of the
immense Democratic meeting held in
that city on Thursday night:
“ Unfavorable as was the weather last
night for the great outdoor gatherings
of the New York Democracy, a multi
tude of more than 100.000 good men
and true crowded Tammany Hall, Union
Square, and the contiguous streets to
ratify the Democratic nominations for
State county and municipal officei’s.—
From Third Avenue to University
place, and from Fourteenth street to the
upper boundary of Union Square, a
scene of unparalledbrillancy, excitement, j
and enthusiasm was presented. Vigo
rous and convincing speeches w ere made
in Tammany Hall and at the various
stands in the streets outside by a num
ber of representative Democrats from
all parts of the Union, and the prodi
gious procession of 30.000 wardmen,
with music, torches, rockets, banners,
and transparencies, kept the whole up
per part of the city alive with the ex
citement of its march until a late hour
of the night. The departure of Grant’s
flunkeys from this metropolis is now in
order.”
Os the meeting the Herald says:
“The procession, was, beyond a doubt,
the largest and most imposing political
parade ever made in this or any other
city, and fully fifty thousand procession
ist* were in line.
A novel idea is proposed by a writer
in a recent number of Harper's Bazar.
It is no less than the establishment of
“ training colleges,” wherein intelligent
young women may be taught how to
rear infants according to the latest lights
of medical and social science.
The Approaching Election-
Defeat is Death.
We do not hesitate to declare it as
our solemn conviction that, if the peo
ple of Georgia do not carry the election
in December, they are ruined beyond
the slightest hope of redemption here
after. This is a strong declaration, but
we believe it as honestly as we ever be
lieved anything in our life. We have
thought over all the consequences of
defeat, ami if there is any ill or disaster
that defeat will not bring, we do not
know what it is. Let such another
Legislature as the one just adjourned
meet again at Atlanta, and farewell to
everything that makes a residence in
Georgia, now, even tolerable. The peo
ple have been robbed and swindled to
an alarming extent as it is. but if that
curse comes upon them they will be
stripped bare. The robbers will never
stop until they have stolen the last item
of property owned in Georgia. When
the people can no longer pay taxes,
having nothing upon which a tax can
be levied—then, and not till then, will
the thieves call a halt. All this is just
as sure to follow’ a Radical success in
December, in our judgment, as that
there will be an election at that time.
We fear many of the people do not
realize the appalling danger that con
fronts them. We fear that selfish, per
sonal motives and reasons are blinding
them to the imminence of the crisis.—
If they saw, as we see it. the awful ruin
that will follow defeat, they watuld fling
self to the wfinds and know no watch
word but “ the State is in danger—save
the State!" They would count sacri
fices of pride, and judgment, and ir.di
vidual aspirations as trifles beneath con
tempt. If they realized, as defeat will
m dee them realize, how deep is the
depth to which a Radical triumph will
consign them, they would blush and
shudder to think they had ever lost
sight of it. We tell them, now’, that
defeat means death —death to all enter
prise, all peace, all prosperity, and all
hope of living in Georgia as men should
live. From what we know of the de
signs of the Radicals in this State, we
do not hesitate to charge upon them the
fully matured purpose of making Geor
gia uninhabitable for all who will not
either join them, or cease to war upon
their policy. This is a grave charge,
but we honestly believe it. If you ask
upon w’hat grounds we base this belief,
we point to the Agency and its works
since January last. What better evi
dence does any man three degrees re
moved from idiocy, w ish than that ?
We point to Bullock’s character and
acts, and to Blodgett’s crime-stained
career as evidence. They hate the
whites of Georgia as men w’ere never
hated before. They are bold, desperate
and thoroughly unscrupulous—greedy
for money, but still greedier for revenge.
They will never halt until they have
not only beggared, but thoroughly de
graded the white people of Georgia.—
They have a long account to settle with
the virtue and respectability of the
State for the manner in which their ad
vances have been repelled, and their
crimes denounced. While they live in
Georgia they must wage an unrelenting
warfare upon every decent man in it.
Now W’hat are the people doing, and
what do they propose to do ? Will they
give up Georgia to these creatures, or
have they determined these creatures
shall give up Georgia to them ? That
question sums up the whole argument.
If they are resolved upon the latter
course, they must prove it by their acts.
They have no easy task before them. —
Cunning, and villany, and open fraud,
and their own money are matched against
them. They must lay aside every other
business but that of crushing Radical
ism. They must resolve that defeat is
death, and that they will >?o£die. They
must swear that victory shall be theirs,
anyhow. They must make their prepa
rations so thorough that nothing can
offset or upset them. They must take
every risk, arid face every responsibility.
They must, in one word, resolve to win ,
and march to that point over and through
every obstacle.' This, but nothing else,
will win the We ask every man
who reads these lines to take strong
hold on the same conviction, and gird
up his loins for the work before him.
Men of Georgia, the hour has come
when you can neither postpone nor
avoid the issue. You are entering upon
a contest that will decide, for this cen
tury at least, whether you or the bri
gands who h ive plundered you for near
ly three years shall leave the State—
whether you or the stranger shall own
and enjoy the fair heritage your fathers
w< >n with their swords for you and your
children.— Macon Telegraph.
Tiie Negroes Quitting the Cot
ton Fields.— The Columbus Enquirer
says: A recent trip into Alabama, as
far as the Court House of Pike county —
a distance of eighty-five miles—revealed
the fact of great tardiness in gathering
the small crop of cotton made. In our
travel we saw many fields from which
not a boll had been picked. Inquiring
the cause we learned that the low price
to which the staple had declined had so
disheartened the negro laborer, who in
most instances had an interest in the
crop, that it was with great difficulty
he could be iuduced to pick cotton.—
Many expressed fears from this cause, a
lorge portion of the small crop made
would be lost in the field. We find too.
on examination of our exchanges from
the different parts of the cotton region,
that this feeling on the part of laborers,
is not confined to the localities mention
ed above, but that it is general among
laborers, who have been croppers, all
over the cotton region.
We had a call yesterday, from Mr. S.
W. Bloodworth, who is just home from
the Augusta Fair. He brings with him
a MOO premium for the best acre of
corn. He recieved a premium of SSO
from the Macon Fair, and from the
State Fair a $125 premium upon the
same acre of corn —making it. on the
whole, rather a profitable crop. Mr.
Bloodworth’s son, Joseph 11. Blood
worth. took premiums at both the State
and Augusta Fairs, for the best crop of
corn raised by a boy under sixteen years
old. Each of the premiums consist of
a handsome silver-cased patent lever
watch.— Atlanta Sun.
New York.
The editor of the Macon Telegraph
sojourning for a time in New York,
writes to that paper, as follows, on the
26th October:
I see you have had cold weather,
but it was lost ‘somewhere in the pine
woods south of the Potomac, for I have
not seen it. l'estcrday (25th) the mer
cury must have stood some where about
65. This morning opens with an East
ern drizzle, but it is far from cold. The
leaves are still green on many of the
deciduous trees, and have not thinned
out to any great extent.
Trade, they say, is flat. New York
feels the decline in cotton very sensibly,
and every body in general business prays
for a rise. The news on Monday that
cotton had gone up a cent, w’ith sales of
20,000 bales in the city, was received
with great satisfaction.
I dropped for a few moments Monday
night into the Lee memorial meeting at
Cooper Institute Hall. This Hall is a
subterranean apartment, and in that
particular appropriate to many of the
uses it is applied to. It occupies the
whole area of the building and will seat
five thousand people. It is comfortably
provided with iron chairs cushioned
and backed in red morocco—the ceiling
is rather fantastically vaulted and sup
ported by iron columns. A gentle rise
in the floor on all sides from the west,
where the platform is located, gives a
perfect view of the audience and the
stage. The Hall was quite full, and
therefore some five thousand people
must have been present. Mr. Hoyt, the
Vice-President of the Gold Board, was
making a rather labored and ambitious
speech when I entered, and he was fol
lowed by Rev. C. K. Marshall, of Mis
sissippi. The audience was almost ex
clusively Southern, and deeply sympa
thized with the speakers. A casual
allusion to Stonewall Jackson called out
a tempest of applause.
Smuggling in High Quarters. —
The United States practice ship “Savan
nah,” recently returned to Annapolis
from a cruise to the Canary and Madei
ra Islands. The officers and middies had
supplied themselves bountifully with
canary birds, baskets, walking sticks, <fcc.
Acting under the instructions of the
Treasury officials, Mr. Taylor, Collector
of the port, made a raid on the articles
brought by the midshipmen as memen
toes of their cruise. He had made ex
tensive arrangements for the seizure by
having a hand full corps of deputies.
Trunks, &c., were seized, and everything
worked well until Mr. Taylor discovered
on board the ship $2,500 worth of rare
wines from Madeira belonging to Presi
dent Grant, Secretary Robeson and Post
master-General Cresswell.
As Taylor owes his position to the spe
cial favor of the last named gentleman,
he was in a decided fix. If the mid
shipman’s canary birds and walking
sticks were seized, the wines would have
to be seized also. At this point the Col
lector s fear of official displeasure over
came his suddenly developed honesty,
and called his deputies off, and declined
to prosecute the investigation further.
The New York World, of Thursday,
contains an article which sets forth that
a project is now on foot by which the
government of France is to sell to the
United States the French West India
islands, for a price not named. One of
the conditions of the purchase is, that
the United States is to place the most
liberal construction, possible, upon in
ternational law, so as to cover shipment
of arms without stint. These islands,
several in number, are valuable, and
yield large quantities of sugar, coffee
and other tropical productions. The
trade between them and France is worth
$12,000,000 annually. Their posses
sion would open a considerable market
for our products, and would, at the same
time, give us a valuable foothold in the
West Indies.
Mansfield, Oct 25. —0n Monday
evening last a furious whirlwind struck
the tent of Van Amburgh & Cos., who
were exhibiting at Belleville, in this
county, tearing it from its moorings,
strewing the canvas around promiscu
ously. and even overturning some of the
cages of animals. There was a fearful
hubub for a time, the brute animals
howling and the human screaming,
yelling, cursing and imploring in all
their fright. The elephant took ad
vantage of the confusion to escape to
the country, but was soon overtaken
and secured. Quite a number of per
sons were injured, a little girl and a
man seriously. The little girl, it is sta
ted, has since died. The names of any
of the injured have not yet reached here.

An Arkansas paper tells of a genius
who conceived that monkeys would, on
account of their nimble fingers, make
splendid cotton-pickers with a little
training, and further calculated that one
good hand could manage about ten
monkeys, and the expense of cotton
picking be reduced to a minimum.—
When the experiment was tried, how
ever, it was found that instead of one
good hand being able to manage ten
monkeys, it required about ton good
hands to one monkey.
A Virginia paper says of General
Lee's views of religion. “ But a short
time siuce, when in the presence of a
few friends who were warmly discussing
the doctrine of u apostolic succession, ”
his opinion was asked for. With great
modesty and gentleness he answered.
‘‘O, 1 trouble myself but little about
such things; my only concern is, am 1
really and truly a Christian.”
In a recent case, a Treasury clerk at
Washington, of four years standing, was
promoted, and the examining committee
having learned by accident that he was
an ex-mariner, proceeded to put him
through long “ sums ” in navigation.—
He went through all right, but after
wards confessed that he had purposely
falsified all his work and his answers,
to prove to his own satisfaction that the
committee themselves did not know
what they were talking about.
The President has fixed Thursday
the 24th of November as Thanksgiving
Day.
The Situation in Paris.
London, October 26.—A private let
ter from I’fcris of the 18th, says all is
going on very comfortable at present
There is nd starvation or bombardment.
The city is perfectly tranquil. The Mo
biles are gradually becoming soldiers,
but are by no means soldiers yet.
Bismarck seems disposed to allow the
American legation to send free and re
ceive a weekly bag through the Prussian
lines, but actually refuses to allow a
messenger.
I look upon Paris as impregnable to
assaults until one or more of the forts
are taken. Ncrgreater danger is antici
pated from a bombardment. Famine is
all we have to fear, and that it is sup
posed will begin to pinch cruelly toward
December.
About two-thirds of the Americans
here want to leave. They are tired of
the situation. The Prussians would let
them go directly, but the French inter
pose objections, being afraid of the moral
effect upon the population from seeing
so many strangers depart. It will end,
I suppose, in their going at different
dates, in small numbers.
THE FEELING IN BERLIN.
The Herald's Berlin letter, dated 24th,
says the uppermost feeling in Berlin at
the present moment is intense longing
for peace, especially among the lower
classes, whose desire is emphasized more
strongly day after day. They feel the
early inclemency of the season and pic
ture to themselves the sufferings of their
lriends in the field. Their last penny
has been vested in the woolen under
clothing and socks to be sent off to the
army, and they loudly clamor for a ter
mination of the war. A single battal
ion of Landwehr under Gen. Kunimer,
at Metz, in repelling Bazaine’s sorties
of the 7th, lost over 400 fathers of fam
ilies, leaving as many bereaved widows,
and 1,070 orphans.
In the suburbs of Berlin the shops of
smaller mechanics are closed, and so are
those of small butchers, bakers and ar
tisans. They are all gone to the front,
say the w ritten placards on the doors of
shops and lodgings. These and other
evidences of the distress of the people
have aroused a feeling in favor of imme
diate peace. Dissatisfaction prevails in
political circles on account of the secre
cy observed by the government relative
to the negotiations fbr the entrance of
Southern States in the German Confed
eration. The only information to be
vouchsafed comes from Versailles, and
represents Bavaria and Wurtemburg
eager to rush headlong into the arms of
the Confederation, while it is well known
that the Liberals of Munich. Stuttgaret
and other places openly demand a Ger
man Parliament and new' revised Consti
tution.
Important Decision—The Relief
Law Declared Unconstitutional-
Judge .John S. Hopkins occupied the
President’s Chair in the Superior Court
es Fulton county, for the first time yes
terday. and started out fearlessly and
boldly as the Champion of the law and
constitution. In the case of James F.
McClure vs. D. H. Silvey and Company,
it was determined by the Court, and so
announced, that the first section of the
Relief Law of 1870, in requiring an affi
davit that all taxes have b•jen paid on
the debt sued on, is a denial of a remedy
to suitors in court, and will not be en
forced by this Court, as in the opinion
of the Court said section is unconstitu
tional.

The Democrats elected three Con
gressmen in Pennsylvania by an aggre
gate majority of only forty-nine votes,
viz : B. F. Myers, over John Cessna, by
15; R. Milton Speer, over David j.
Morrel, by 11 ; and Henry Sherwood
over Win. H. Armstrong, by 21 majori

The census returns of the United
States, indicate that the population will
not reach 40,000,000. The increase of
negroes is a mere trifle. Returns show
that where negroes have remained upon
plantations remote from cities, natural
increase occurred ; but in sections near
cities the decrease was appalling. The
negro population of cities shows little or
no increase, notwithstanding influx.
The New York Express is informed,
on what it believes to be good authority,
that the ex-Emperor, Louis Napoleon,
has a large real estate interest in New
Jersey, especially in Hoboken. Lon
don papers assert that he has some two
millions of dollars worth of real estate
in America.
The recent storm on the Florida
coast was very disastrous. Some idea
of it may be obtained from the fact that
the steamer Mississippi, from New York
to New Orleans, on one day passed
eleven wrecks; and the shore for forty
miles was strewn with merchandise.
France, though not greater in area
than the State of Texas, produees more
wheat than the whole United States,
the figures being 350.000.000 bushels
for France and 240,000,000 for the
United States.
London, October 31.—Dispatches
from the East State that the persecution
of Christians has been revived in Da
mascus. and so great is the irritation of
the natives against them that a general
massacre is feared.
A lad aged five years, son of Col. J.
C, Bundy, of St. Charles. Illinois, was
killed on Saturday by being struck with
a base ball in the stomach. He lived
only a few minutes after being struck.
There was a baby show up in Wis
consin the other day, at which thirty
eight infants contested for the prize,
two of which were colored. Astonish
ing as it may appear, the colored young
sters did not take a prize. There must
be something the matter up in Wiscon
sin.
On a ranch on Carson river is to be

FROM EUROPE,
New York, October 30. —The Times'
special dispatch from Brussel Is says the
capitulation of Metz threw the Bona
partists into despair. I bis city is their
grand center. Pietri. Chuff. Pevienne,
Mesdames Bazaine, Canrobo. and Prin
cesses Metterniob and Mathilde are here.
The World’s special dispatch from
liOndon states that at Merei le Haute,
on authority of a staff officer of General
Picard who escaped from Metz, that an
aw'ful scene occurred on Wednesday,
preceding the surrender. At 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, a compact mass of un
armed people swarmed from the western
gates into the plain. The throng inclu
ded all ages, ranks and sexes, numbering
nearly ten thousand, headed by a man
and woman, the latter carrying a white
flag. Following these were hundreds of
children, carrying little white flags. Be
hind them moved a strong body of the
French troops pressing them forward.
These people were expelled because there
was no food. The Prussians opened fire
but the people still advanced. When
they came within range, the man and
woman, still leading, moving more rapid
ly the man fell, struck by a bullet. The
woman, waving a white handkerchief,
continued to advance. Amid the scream-
ing of the children the Prussian fire con
tinued, and the woman fell with her flag.
The crowd wavered a moment and then
fled. The Prussian fin l grew constantly
hotter, and the French troops advanc
ing, closed around the flying citizens and
a terrible fusilade followed, the road be
ing strewn with the bodies of women
and children. The forts threw shot and
shell upon the Prussians till the fugitives
disappeared, when the French troops
fell back. The fugitives lay around the
walls and in sight.
The agent of the World forwards this
statement, furnished by the agent at
Merei le Haute.
Tours, October 30.—A profound im
pression is created by Bazaine'B capitu
lation. A majority consider it political
and express intense indignation. The
army of the: Loire had been considerably
reinforced and much was expected from
it toward the relief of Paris. The sur
render of Metz checks its efforts. The
Constitutiooel appeals to Gambetta to ac
cept an armistice and order an imme
diate election for the constituent assem
bly.
London, Oct.. 27.—The Manchester
Guardian to-day gives the following
terms of peace which were proposed by
England. Russia and Austria: First.no
cession of territory; second, fortifications
of Metz and Strasbourg to be razed ;
third, France to pay two hundred mil
lions francs indemnity, and neutrals to
guarantee peace.
