I The Proposed Bond Compromise.
Ono Col. Snead has appeared in Atlanta
recently, representing himself to be the attor
ney for the American holders of Ga. Bonds,'
issued during the mal-administration of R. B.
(Roguish Bonded,) Bullock, and he proposes
to settle by a compromise, asking the State
pay about'fifteen hundred thousand dollars
to these holders of these-spurious bonds.
Now we are opposed to any such compromise,
or settlement in any way with these bonds,
except to pronounce them null and void, and
stick to it. Why should these ‘ ‘poor, ” ‘ ‘pitifuT’
holders of bogus bonds be paid out of the
people’s money of this State ? Who paid the
citizens of this commonwealth for the mil
lions of proporty which was destroyed by the
vandal army which these “innocent* holders
of bogus bonds helped to maintain? And
now, for pity’s sake, because they have been
swindled by one of their own adventurers,
a carpetbagger, who, by fortuitous circumstan
ces gained control of our State government
for a while, we must pay them back what
they have lost. Why, it is like the impu
dence of the devil, to ask tho honest, over
burdened taxpayers of this State ’to make
good their losses on these bogus bonds. Who
Is responsible for Bullock's rascality? Cer-
taily not the principal tax-payers of this
State. Who was the so-called Governor Bul
lock ? A carpetbagger, of the meanest order.
Who made him Governor of this State? Cer
tainly not the white voters and taxpayers of
this State. He was farced upon us by cir
cumstances which the- taxpaying citizens of
this State could not control. He was the repre
sentative of the negroes of tho State, a class of
people who never did and. never will truly
represent the estate and intelligence of this
commonwealth. Why, great numbers of them
don’t even pay their poll tax. If these bogus
bonds are to be paid, how much of the a-
mount will be paid by Bullock’s confreres?
Comparatively nothing. What value has the
State received ’from the sale of these
bonds? No value received that we know
of. These very men who are now want
ing us to pay them their lost money,
are, in some part, tho abettors of Bullock.
They were warned that Bullock and his gov
ernment was a fraud upon the people, and
they would not heed. When Bullock was
negotiating for the sale of these bonds, tbe
Treasurer of the State gave notice that he,
Bullock, was straining the public credit, and
privately appropriating the proceeds thereof,
and the Press of the State reverberated the
report in portentous notes to the world, and
they would not heed. None so deaf as him
who will not hear. We were in tho mill, and
called to them to hold off, but “they said
nothing, but just kept on grinding.” They
relied on the power of a Radical, -carpetbag,
and negro government, to sustain them, and
cared not for the justice of the matter, but
were after tbe “almighty dollar.” Bullock
sold the spurious bonds, applied the proceeds
to his own nefarious schemes, and left ns
with the bag to hold, and now, forsooth, these
“poor,” “innocent” holders have the face ts
nsk ns to indemnify them. Now in all candor
we would ask. who hr.3 been the worst fleec
ed in these fraudulent transactions, the peo
ple of Georgia, or these bond holders? But
every dog has his day, if there are not more
The .present session of the Legislature will

is not many new laics, but tbe proper ad

already have.

Address of Hon. A. If. Stephens.
Liberty Hall, Cbawyordyille, Ga., 1
Februar, 5th 1873. j
To the Electors of ihe Eighth Congressional Dis
trict of Georgia: #
The object of thus addressing yon
is to make a formal announcement
that I am a candidate for your suf
frages at the^ approaching election,
to be held on Wednesday, the 26th
inst., to fill the vacancy now existing
for this district in the next House of
Representatives of the Congress of
the United States, which has been
occasioned by the recent and much
lamented death of Gen. Ambrose R.
Wright.
On making this announcement it
is but proper to state that in doing
it, I am yielding to a call with which
from its unusual and extraordinary
character, I do not feel at liberty,
under a proper sense of public, duty,
to refuse a compliance.
That call, though informal under
the circumstances (for reasons known
to you,) was made by a large number
of the most distinguished, as well as
the most truly representative men in
the district. It was made by a meet
ing held in Atlanta, on the 23d of
January, over which Gen. Robert
Toombs, of Wilkes,presided as Chair
man, and at which Mr. Henry Moore
of the Chronicle and Sentinel, of
Augusta, acted as Secretary.
Of the proceedings of this meeting
you have been fully informed through
the public journals—nothing further
in relation to them need bo here
stated, except that the meeting em-,
braced in its numbers, either in per
son or by proxy, every one whose
name has been mentioned as a Dem
ocratic candidate so far as I am
aware. Their names need not be
here set forth. Most, if not all of
them have since spoken through the
press, giving the action of that bocty
their cordial sanction. This meeting
also in like manner embraced every
Senator in the General Assembly
from- this District, and every mem
ber of the House, I believe, except
one—the member from Hart. His
. place was filled, however, by another.
Besides this array the meeting was
composed of quite a number of other
most distinguished citizens of the
District, among whom stood promi
nent, Hon. Herschel V. Johnson, of
Jefferson county; Maj. Joseph, B.
Gumming, of Richmond county;
Charles E. McGregor, of Warren
county, CoL B. D. Evans and Hon.
D. H. Twiggs, of Washington coun
ty; Dr. William Walton, Milton P.
Reese and S. H. Hardeman, of
Wilkes county; and H. C. Roney, of
McDuffie county.
It was by this distinguished as
semblage of the most truly represen
tative men of the District, a unani-
A Convention on Direct Trade and Immi
gration assembled in Augusta on last Tues
day; five States were represented. The object
of the Convention was to perfect a plan for
bringing immigrants form Europe to the
South, and to secure a direct line of steam
ships from some South Atlantic ports to Eu
rope. The only action of the Convention on
Tuesday was to memorialize the Legislature
of Georgia to adopt some feasible measure of
immigration, before the adjournmet of that
body. _ _
Meeting of* the Wriglitsvillc Bar.
According to the previous agreement the
members of the Wrightsville Bar met in th.e
Court-House, at Wrightsville, on the 1st

said Bar, who died in Washington county
on Sunday, the 19th of January last.
On motion of Judge J. R- L. Allen, Col.
A. W. Daley was called to the chair, and on
motion of W. A. Tompkins, Esq., A. F. Da

The Chairman, after announcing the death
of Mr. Robson, and stating the object of the
meeting, made a few remarks commendato
ry of the character of deceased as a lawj er,
citizen and Christian gentleman. This was
followed by similar remarks from Judge Al
ien. After which the following resolutions
were offered by W. A. -Tompkins, Esq.,
which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That in the death of H. T. Rob
son, a member of the Wrightsville Bar, we
recognize the loss of a most worthy citizon,
a good lawyer, a Christian gentleman, and
one whose memory and example we would
perpetuate.
Resolved, That we respectfully tender to '
the bereaved children and relatives of tho
deceased the heartfelt sympathy of the mem
bers of this Bar, whose reverence and affec
tion he so well deserved and so long' cher
ished.
Resolved, That in token of respect we,
the members of the 'Wrightsville Bar, will
wear toe usual badge of mourning for thirty
days.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Sandersville
papers, and that a copy of the same be sent
to tbe family of deceased.
On motion the meeting then adjourned.

that Mr. Stephens is the candidate, and we-
suppose that^i nomination is not strictly
necessary. We would suggest, however,
without presuming to dictate to, or load pub
lic opinion, as an expression of esteem for
the eminent and profound statesman, that a
general mass meeting of the citizens of Wash

Post Mastabs attend to your duty.—Do
he a little more careful how you receive and
distribute our paper to our subscribers. What
does “Uncle Sam” pay you for, if it is not to
attend to the P. 0. business. Some of our
subscribers complain to us that they receive
their papers irregularly, when we are abso
lutely and positively certain that their papers
have left our -office properly directed and
wrapped in good order. Now it may seem
like a small matter to you, but remember we
have a particular interest in the mat
ter. Now we do know that these shortcom
ings are not our fault, and if some of you
P. M."s don’t look out and give a more strict
attention to your duties, we will enter a pro
test against yon holding any office in the U.
S. and especially the position of Post Mas
ter. Now seriouslly gentlemen, we do want
you to give some attention to your business,
and give out our papers at the right place
and to tha right man. If a man calls for his
neighbor’s paper, be sure that he is all right
before you give it to him. Thero may be
sometimes an under current in affairs which
you do not understand. As Davy Crockett
said, “Be sure you are right then go ahead.”
Now we write this in the test of feeling,
fully realizing the fallibility of human nature
and the many perplexities with which every
post office has to contend. And we don’t
want any ono who is guiltless to take a word
of what we have said to themselves.

Suffice it to say, that I am a Dem

self-government;” and a firm belief
that upon the unswerving mainten
ance of the principles of this great
apostle of liberty, rest, not only all
future hopes for the preservation of
our matchless systems of free insti
tutions on this continent, bnt all sure
hopes for the political redemption of
the down-trodden and oppressed
peoples in all climes and countries.

on his retilrn lie was relating to his
uncle an adventure which he had
met on. board the ship,
“I was one night leaning over the
traf-rail, looking into the mighty
ocean, when my gold watch fell from
my fob,’ said the nephew, whom we
shall call "William, ’and sunk out of
sight. The vessel was going at the
rate of ten knots an hour, but noth
ing daunted, I sprang over the rail
^down, down, and after a long search
found it, came up close under the
stem, and climbed back to the deck,
without any one knowing I had been
absent.’
‘William,’ said his uncle, slightly
elevating his broad brim, ‘how fast
did thee say the vessel was going?’
‘Ten knots, uncle.’
‘And thee dove down into the sea,
and came up with the watch, and
climbed up the rudder chains?’
‘Yes, unele,’
‘And thee expects me to believe
thy story?’
‘Of course! You wouldn’t call me
a liar, would yoxi, uncle?’
‘Willie,’ replied the uncle grave
ly, ‘thee knows I never calls any
body names, but William, if the
Mayor of the city was to come to
me and say, ‘Josiah, I want thee to
bring me the biggest liar in Phila
delphia,’ I would come straight to

Jincia A. Smith, wife of David S. Smith, in
the 32nd year of her age, leaving a devoted
husband and five small children, and a large
circle of frieDds and relatives to mourn her
less. But while they mourn, they should
bow in humble submission te Him who
“worketh all things after the counsel of His
own will.”
The subject of this notice had been for
several years an exemplary member of the
Baptist Church, marking those noble vir
tues which are characteristics of a Christian
profession, and trusting in Him who saith
to His followers, “My Grace is sufficient.”
As a wife she was ever affectionate and
kind, ready at all times to share the sorrows
as well as the joys of her companion. As a
mother, she was meek, gentle, and mild,
exercising due forbearance towards her chil
dren. As a friend and relative, to love her
was but to know her. But alas! we must
say to her, farewell, farewell. Let the sol
emn warning sink deeply upon our hearts
“be ye also ready” therefore rest thou from
thy toils on earth, and may that House not
made with hands be thine eternal abode. And
may the God of Heaven console tho bereav
ed and disconsolate husband and children,
the weeping relatives, and mourning friends.
And may they imitate the noble virtues of
the deceased, so that when the messenger
of death shall come, they may have the -
sweet assurance of meeting her beyond tho
skies,, to sing the songs of redeeming grace
to Him who died for hs, is the sincere pray

the disease of little George was so complica

Physician, and the kind untiring nursing of
his devoted patents. Little George evinced
great patience, and calm resignation, for one
of his tender years ; a short time before his
spirit was called to glory the angelio and
lovely boy called for kis little sister, and in
fant little brother, that he might imprint the
last kiss of affection this side the Judgement
mom. We deeply condole with the bereft,
and weeping parents ; bereft of their darling
boy, leaves a wound that calls forth all the
sympathy of our hearts, but alas ! parents
(guardians) once of your little George, let
your sorrow be turned into joy. Your lo9s
is his eternal and imperishable gain. His ac
ute and heart sickening affections are forever
ended, he is now free from all pain, with his
Heavenly Father, who will feed him while
eternity rolls on with heavenly viands. You
can go to him, btit he. cannot come to yon.
May this mysterious dealing of Divine provi
dence awaken in your hearts more love for
your Saviour, remembering that yon are
God's children, that all things work together
for your good. May parents, sisters, and
brothers, meet your dear little George in
Heaven, is the fervent petition of the writer...

Gentlemen—I used your Fertilizer on my
Corn crop this year, nt the rat?of two hun
dred pounds on less than three acres—quantity
applied to each hill, contents of a common
match-box reduced to one-third of its size,
encircling the hill six inches ; three grains
of com dropped therein ; hills four by four
feet, with two stalks left to the hill. Crop
planted second week in April.
results :
Upon less than three acres, 144 bushels and
943 large bundles fodder. I selected 250 ears
from the field. Seventy-five ears shelled one
bushel ; exhibited at the State Fair. Sold the
Com for four dollars, and won the prize of
ten dollars for the best bushel of Com.
The soil upon which this crop grew is an
Indian old field, and has been in cultivation
over eighty years—having worked it myself
forty-eight years. This field did not yield,
last year, ten bushels per acre.
Very respectfully,
DANIEL JOHNSON.
