The True Citizen. WAYNKSBORO, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1882 ” The Survival of the Fittest.' DOMINATIONS FOR THE LEGISLATURE The Citizen thinks that idea of nom inating a ticket for the Legislature will ijyork great harm to the party in Burke County, There is no par'y without or ganization, and there is a virtual surren der, if the organization chooses not to nominate. The last' election was the most quiet one ever held in Burke Coun ty aud the nominated ticket was elecied. If there is a full meeting on the fourth, and the democmcy should conclude to nominate for the legislature, the dissen sions will amount to very little.—Her ald. We copy the above paragraph from the last issue of our city contemporary, in which we must conclude there was an intentional misconstruction of our re marks upon nominations for the Legis lature last week. To show the dis crepancy between what we really did say and the wilful misrepresentations put upon our words by the Herald, we re produoe our words of last week upon the subject of nominations in Burke county for candidates for the Legisla ture, and leave the fair minded reader to judge between us. Our words were : It. has generally been understood that there were to be no nominations made for the Legislature, and for ’he s ke of harmony, we would say 10 our leaders that the utmost caution is necessary light here. If a false step is made in j another this matter, the party will be lorn up THE WOOL POOL. Albany News. Bv yesterday’s mail to the News and Advertiser came the following letter: “Alapaha, Ga., June 14, 1882.— Mr. H. M. Mclntodi, Albany, Ga.— Dear Sir : I inclose an article taken from yesterday’s News a»d Adver* tiser, and would like very much to know all the particulars, as we have all we have bought on hand. I have been satisfied of a comh>i,iti »M all the while, and for that reason have n t offered a pound for sale. If you will take the trouble to give the de sired information I wi 1 i be very much obliged. Verv truly yours, W.'S. Walker.” In this letter WHS enclosed the fol lowing item, taken from a recent issue of the News and Advertiser : A wool pool has been uncovered, so, if you can, it would be better to hold your wool awhile. When this item was written the writer had it in his head that our local buyers were in a little scheme to gather up the fleece produced in this section at a nominal price—far below its value. Since its appear ance we have been inquiring particu larly, and every buyer informed us that he knew nothing of any pool. He does not know but there is a pool governing the price of wool remote from him. It. is in Bo-ton, Mass., the great wool market of the union. There the brokers have everything in their hands. The dif ferent States are apportioned out, and the one who buys fleece from one State will not touch the product of For instance, you go to Boston with wool. “Where are you by the most violeut distensions, its uni- irom ?” asks the buver to whom you ty ofaction des voyed and even i s sue ce,-s rendered doubtful. The above paragraph contains all the words for which the Herald reads us so sharp a lesson. I hey were meant for words of warning, which we here and naw reiterate; neither can the most acute and searching analysis discover a single word or sentiment in opposition to ‘ thatIdea” of nominations, as is assert ed by the Herald. We know the sen timent 0 of the Independent Democracy of Burke county well enough to know that they will not bear any foolishness or tricks, and if any unfair action is at tempted at the mass meeting to be held here on the 4th prox., it requires nei her a prophet or the son of a prophet to fore tell the result. Only a few weeks ago the Herald published a notice saying there would be no nominations for the Legislature, but now evidently favors a full nomination. Was that para graph intended to lull the people into security and deceive them at the last, or has a change really “come over the spirit of his dream ?” We pause for a reply. If a nomination for candidates for ihe Legislature was intended, why were the people led to believe that no such nominations would take place—why were they not put upon notice, so they might come prepared to act intelligibly ? The thing has a bad look, and the Her ald may find the “dissensious” more serious than it now appears to appre hend. But the Herald says that “the last election was the most quiet one ever held in Burke county, and the nomina ted ticket was elected.” The Herald knows well that the nominations then made were by primary election, aud that every candidate nominated was an In dependent and already in the field. Not one of them cared “a hill of beans” if he was nominated or not. That dodge will not do, Mr. Herald, and when it is attempted to deceive the people un der the subtilly worded notice calling mass meeting, aad “hiding the hook the bait” with the words “and attend other matters of interest to the par- l” we feel satisfied that serious disa- reement must be the result. Our |ioe is for harmony in the party both [feeling and ac ion ; and to that end again utter a note of warning to the ^lers to act with caution, and we call every Democrat of Burke county lise uhove faction, and to aid us in [ preservation of unity, the saving of party from defeat and ruin. This be accomplished bv honest ao* the sacrifice of personal oiniins sferments for the good of all. T< . 1 ship* ten bark to Ciqpinnsti. offer it. “Georgia,” f-av you. ‘ Well, I’m not buying Georgia wool t >-day. My friend over the way there is l ov ing Georgia wool.” Thus it is that in the northern newspaper market report you see Georgia wool quoted, Alabama wool, Mississippi wool, etc. Every S ate is apportioned and given over to its wool merchant in Boston, and all are memoera of one pooh Well, Boston controls Savannah, and Savannah contr’Is Albany and eveiy other interior wool market in the State of Georgia—and this is the wool pool. The only remedy is lor the interior merchants to put on a little backbone, and refuse to allow Savannah to control them by ship ping tin ir buyings to New York t > commission houses. Concert of action in this would snou bring Busting down on her knees, for Goor gia’s wool crop is not to be sneezed at even in as big a town as Boston.— You can force the local buyer to pay a fair price for your wool by holding it, and this we would advise you to do. Wool was selling in Albany yesterday for 2G cents, when it ought to have brought twice that sum. LCommuntcated.l MR. STEPHENS ONCE MORE. Brutus’ assumed humility is crowned by a vanity which is truly apalling. And the griev ance which he expresses, together with a desire to apologize for intruding upon time and space without edification either to your readers or myself, bring me aguin before you. In the first place I feel that a reflect rg public will bear me out in stating that Brutu •’ attack upon my first article was totally unjustifiable—his style and tenc r provoking—and his personating me ad the Doctor was without excuse. I call it attack be cause there was nothing to reply to. A mutual friend Informed me who he was, and my con sideration for youthful indiscreetness, together with the fast friendship of over a quarter of a century for his father, prevented a very differ ent reply to the one published. Disinterested part os can but consider prejudice as the father of his communication, whose verdict will estab lish the inexpediency of said "alleged” reply. 1 have too much regard for education, the sole progenitor of a decent aristocracy, one which even dethroned reason while exciting pity and sympathy, does not depose to cast any “slur” upon it or the diploma which is merely a certifi cate of educational qualification. Nothing lias ever emanated from me to retard the progress of any one, I would make, and have made, personal sacrifice to advance rather ♦ban place an obstacle in ones pathway to fu ture glory. There were no principles to “elimi nate" in my article. It was merely expressive of my unqualified admiration of Mr. S., nor did he do any more than accuse him of palpable duplicity, besides later to show the wtiys of his prejudice. Prejudice? Yes, and nothing more ! I still say that men of no political experience have the right, not legal, but so far as qualifi cation is Concerned, to oppose not only Mr. 8. or any other politi jian. Would it not he pre sumption to differ with “civiale” upon the pro priety of a surgical operation, or Dr. Battle in regard to the operation which has established him a man in his profession and woman’s best friend? Brutus’opinion of “my poor wit and ill-expressed humor" will not make me die any the sooner. The‘‘stench to his nostrils” must be the rotten eggs that have hursted which he hurled at Mr. S. My nauseaous communication and \ague and indefinite reply 1 trust, will, like epicac, produce temporary nausea with result ant good. So he may cast aside the "nostrum’’ and in its place attain knowledge and wait upon experience which will prove the panacea of ail his ills, the schniderian membrane includ ed. I do not propose to act as B’s. counsellor. But 1 am assured that B. has made a mistake in the outset of his career as a correspondent’ which a few years of mental and social attri tion with the world will prove true to him,— Correct it and his opportunity to take a stand for his own and his country’s good is favorable ; continue thus and he will find himself with an incubus of huge proportions through life’s journey. As to my taking anything as a “miserable sub terfuge" to avoid the true issue in any case or cause I deny. I belong to neither the subter fuge nor refuge class, but where justice, humanity and a sense of duty has called, echo does not answer. D.

Mo., sra-r New York, June 20.—The Herald has the following particulars of the discovery of T.eLong’s partv : After Melville reached the neighborhood where Ninderman and N«»ros left DeLong, he found the wreck of a scow, and soon came upon a rifle barrel supported by a few sticks.— Digging near these sticks they found two bodies under eight feet of fine snow. Exploring further, Melville found a tent, camp kett ! e and re mains, and approaching, nearly stum bled upon DeLong’s hand, sticking out of the snow about thirty feet, from the edge of the bank. Here, under a loot of snow, they found the bodies of DeL'»ng and Ambler, about three feet apart, with Sam lying at their feet. AH were partially cover ed by pieces of the tent and a few pieces of blanket. All the others, except Alexia, they found at the place where the tent was pitched.— Lee and Koch were dose by in a cleft in the bank toward the west. IN one of the dead had boots. Their fket were covered with rags tied on. In the pockets of all were pieces of burnt skin clothing, which they had been eating. The hands of all were more or less burned, and looked as if when dying they had crawled into the fire. Boyd was lying over the fire, his cloth ing burned through to the skin, which was not burned. Collins’ face was covered with a cloth. All the bodies were carried to the top of a hill 300 feet high, about forty versis to the southwest from where they were found, and there interred in a mausoleum constructed of wood from tne scow, built in the form of a pyra mid, twenty-two feet long and seven feet high, surmounted by a cross twenty-two feet high and a foot square, hewn out of driftwood, and oonspicu* ous at a distance of twenty versts. A BODY OF AMERICAN RANGERS AR RESTED BY MEXICANS. Tucson, Arizona, Juue 20.—Capt. J. Ross, with his command of fifty rangers, who left here two months ago, has returned. The rangers trailed the remnant of the renegade Apaches 200 miles from the Arizona line into Chihuahua, Mexico. They counted nearly 80 dead Indians, many of whom were found near the mountain trtfll.— They had evidently been wounded in the fight with the Mexican troops under Gen. Garcia, and had fled for sa'ety. The body of Chief Loco was identified by one of the party, who had known him intimately for six years. On the 1st instant they fell in with a body of Mexican troops commanded by Gen. Reyes, and were ar rested, disarmed, and after four days ordered to leave Mexican territory. Gen. Reyes inform ed Capt. Ross that inasmuch as he had authority as a deputy sheriff from Arizona the lives of himself and his men would be spared. Ross de manded a voucher for the arms of ills rangers, which was at first refused, but afterwards Gen. Reyes stated that lie had sent C< lonel Forsythe a formal warning that auy body of armed men found on Mexican soil would be shot, but he would make an exception in this ease. The rangers were compelled to return through an Indian country, a distance of two hundred and fifty miles, without a single weapon for self, defense. Gen. Reyes admitted that he wa^ aware the rangers meant no harm and that they were only after hostile Indians, but he declared that it was a violation of international law which he would not tolerate. Advices from Chihuahua City state that the Mexican troops had another fight with the Indians, in which fifteen Indians were killed and twenty were made prisoners. Five Mexicans wore killed. The report of the killing of Chief Kanehos has l been confirmed. •S THE MAN WHO RAN THE FIRST LOCOMO TIVE IN AMERICA. St. Louis Republican. .T. Van Buren, a resident of Clarksville, Ga., whore he has been living since 1839, was the first, and is the oldest locomotive engineer ir. the United States. He ran the fli st one placed upon a railroad in the United States. He was born in Sheneotady, N. Y., in 1800, and is, eon- seqnently, 82 yours old. lie says the first loco motive placed upon any railroad in the United States was put on the road known ns the Slie- nectady and Saratoga Railroad, in 1832. It was built by George Stephenson, ut Newcastle-upon- Ty ae, Eng., and imported by the Schenectady and Saratoga Railroad Company. A man named Turner came with it as engineer, and Van lturen assisted him In setting It up and driving it from time to time to and from Saratoga.— The Mohawk and Hudson Railroad was com pleted in 1680 or 1831 aad was operated for two or three years after its completion entirely by horse power. A half-way house waa built by the company on the line of the road, where the horses were ohanged for fresh ones In going both ways. The first locomotive put on tills I road was built by Dnvid Matthews, a young man in Bigys-gs O'*** o O TFcLo w mcs g.?E.a 15 5 s < n H 1stfKI E 3-2' s.O’s-''’ g a jh O | s ^ £a is Ply?
