ED. JoURNAL:-A writer quoted in last
weeks Sentinel, thinks he has given good
reason why the county printing should be
done through that paper, viz: because it
has a larger circulation than the other
county papers. Buttaxpayersha have reasons
of their own on this as well as on other
questions. 1t iseasy enough to understand
why the county printing is given to the
Sentinel, in preference to some of the other
papers. In the first place the Sentinel is
the professed organ of those county officials
who award that kind of patronage-the
county printing. 81. The Sentinel has uni
formly and persistenlly opposed every in
quiTy and discussion which might lead TO
the exposure Of official irregularities on
the part Of County Commissioners, &c. 81
The Sentinet has been the steady and deter
mined advocate of the infamous Special
Ditch Law. In return for these and other
services we can hardly blame the Sentinel
for expecting its reward.
The above are some OF the principal rea f.
sons why tie county printing ia given TO
the Sentinel. Bu, in the judgement Of the
taxpayers these are not The reasons why the
said printing should be confined 10 that pa.
per. Most people view the matter from
the standpoint Of public economy. and IT,
is useless TO try to argue them from this
position by setting up the plea that the
Sentinel ought TO have the connty printing

other county papers. People know per-

Columbus Dispatch! Judge Green has
declared war upon Master Commissioners,
and says that hereafter none but conplicN-
ted cases will be placed in their hands
The secret of the business is that the per.
quisites Of the Sheriff have been sadly i'm
paired by the disposition Of ltigants to
deal with Masters instead of the Sheriff,
and Judge Green uses his official position
to aid the Sheriff IN adding to the perqui-
sites of the office. secondary object is
also to provide more official "pap" for the
Democratic organs of the city, which for
some time past have been greatly neglected
by the Master Commiss oners.

The House of Representatives at Wash
ington, following the example of our Ohio
Legislature, manifests an extraordinary
sensitiveness when petitions are presented
requesting an immediate adjournment. A
few days ago, in the Ohio House, consider.
able time was spent in discussing whether
a certain paper of this kind should be re.
ceived. 1t was denounced as an insult to
the legislative body, and one which de-
served the sternest rebuke. At Washington,
yesterday, Mr.. Cox (Sunset) called the at
tentiOn of the House to petition present.
ed to that body, and which had been print.
ed in the record, declaring that longer
continuance of the session Of Congress was
fraught with danger to the peace OF the
country, and asking that the session be
speedily terminated. Mr.. Cox said that
the petition was an insult to Congress, and
insisted that it should be struck from the
record. This gave rise to considerable dis.
cussion. the Speaker declaring that the
House had control of the journals, and
could amend them If il was thought best !;
as for himself, lie believed it would be best
to let the petition stay on the record for
what it was worth. The Objectionable mat
ter was, however, struck from the record.
As rule, petitions to legislative bodies
are harmless affairs, and the best way to
dispose of them is to let them take the or
binary course OF such documents. The
right of petition is n privilege, however,
granted by the Constitution, and one that
is dangerous to interfere with. Years ago
the South regarded petitions for the aboli-
tion of slavery as direct insults, and at
tempted to reject them, hut an able defend.
er OF the right of petition arose in the per-
son OF John Quincy Adams-"the old man
eloquent"-whose efforts in that behalf
gave him more enduring fame than any
other act of his long and useful political
life.- Col0mbus Dispatch.

consumed. when daylight broke moth
ing remained but the ashes of the
building and the charred remains of
Rayford, whose cries were unavailing
and who had perisded in the flames. -
The cause of the fire is unknown and
no one can explain the inability of the
sole inmate of the house to make his
escape, II is probable that by the ex-

had gone to sleep, The building was

too late TO escape from the angry
flames that surrounded him on every
side.

Three wagoners, with cotton, from
Winston county, came to Macon last
week, reaching here at dark. AS it
was threatening rain, they were anxi-
GUS to camp in lot, where they could
get shelter for themselves, as well as
teams, if possible. After many inqui-
rics they could find no suitable place
to pass tie night, and were greatly as
tonished and indignant that town the
size of ours, had no comfortable wagon
yard. They all declared most tmphat-
ically that they would never bring a.
mother bale of cotton to Macon. How
many more Winston county farmers
have done the same thin g, is the ques-
ton? If we want people to bring
their cotton here we must have more
regard for their interest and comfort.

There are two pure-blo0ded white
women in this town, who, sorne years
ago, cody and deliberately abandoned
their own race and allied themselves
with the negroes. In fact they have
become Africans in all respects ex-
cept blood and color. They are often
seen on our streets with bevy of
blacks, and are never noticed by the
whites. Their present life is 3D. desr+
ded that had each of them married
cold black negro, it would have been
regarded as highly honorable in CON-
parative point of view. These wo-
men are sisters, rather young, and not
verv homely in appearance. Their in
famous Conduct is disgrace to the
Caucasian race, and an outrage upon
civilization. But it seems impossible
to get rid of them. Repeated efforts
have been made to drive them out of
the community, but with only Temporal
ry success; for they invariably return
sooner CT later, when forced to leave.
We have heard of another white wo-
mana hard favored old crone-who
has lived for several years, in negro
families, in the suburbs. She is lit
tie more modest than the others and
seldom parades the streets with her
duskv friends.

Bishop Elders lecture mt the Catho-
lie Church last Thursday.night, on the
"divinc origin of the church," was
very interesting, impressive and in
structive.
His purpose was to prove by urgu-
ment and the presentation of facts,
that "The Church. was of divine ORR
gin, and guided through all the ages
by the Holy Spirit; that it was impos-
sible for mere human power to accom-
plish what it had done and is still do
ing throughout the civilized world.
Bishop Elder is universally esteemed
in Mississippi for his many excellent
qualities of mind and heart. Should
he be transferred to the dioceee Of Cali
afornia, as expected, II will be matter
of general regret.

JOHN ROBEN,SON'S
WORLDS EXHIBITION

Is announced to be at Macon. Nov.
oath, and we call the attention of our
readers TO the fact as matter OF genn-
inc public interest. Old John Robin-
sons Great Menagerie, Aquarium and
Circus has reached a standard for ex-
cellencc that no other concern ever APP
preached, and this yeur he seems to
have excellcd even himself. We were
astonished, while reading in the Gin
cinnati papers about the immense out
lay he made last winter for additions
TO his mammoth show. To 40 cages
and dens of Rare Animals and Wild
Beasts, ofalmost every kind, he has
added Girails, an immense Rhinoce-
ros, Giant Ostrich, Sea Lion, school
of Seals, the largest heard Of Perform
ing Elephants in the World, Asiatic
and African Lions, 40 Ponies, 60 Ring
Horses, and little community ofpeo-
pie for different lines of duties. In
fact it is bewildering to an ordinary
mind to even contemplate the gigantic
proportions of this vast collection of
all that is beautiful, startling and in
strletivc. Every man, woman and
child for miles around should witness
this exhibition, and should be in town
to see the magnificent Street Parade.

The action of Porter Rice, good
and upright colored citizen of our
county, concerning the use of his name
ON the Republican ticket for Represen-
tative at the recent election, should
serve as hearty rebuke and an open
censure to any white man who, in the
future, Gnstead of setting a good ex-
ample for the colored voters, by re-
framing from any connection with the
party that has instigated the troubles
of the race issue for the past ten years
in the SOUTH shall seek to have their
names associated on the ticket with ill.,
fluential Republicans, and thereby
sneak into office against the wishes of
the better classes of both white and
colored voters in the county. 1t was
generally believed by the colored peo-
pie, and very much feared by many
white people, that to be placed upon
the Republican ticket was certain
guaranty of election. Yet, in the face
of such prospect, Porter Rice, regard
ing principle and general prosperity,
both individual and collective, more
than political promotion, publicly ex-
pressed his hearty disapproval of the
use of his name in such connection,
and boldly announced that he would
not serve, if elected. Neither did his
action stop here, but he openly voted
the Democratic ticket in its entirety,
and labored earnestly for our success.
Let this conduct of one of our best col
ored citizens be considered worthy of
the emulation of all who are possessed
of the elective franchise, and we will
see better day dawning upon our
country than that which came with its
mists and clouds to threaten with dark
ness our political sky, on the eve of the
recent election.
