THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1878.
R. L. HlCK8,
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
SALUTATORY.
The circumstances which gave birth to the
Post are already familiar to tho.se expected to
he Its readers; hence, comment is unncccs-
mtf.
It |e my purpose to establish and (mUd up
a local paper in Dublin, which Bhall be a (rue
exponent of the wants and wishes of the whole
people, to pursue such a policy as will meet
the approbation of all good citizens, and to
devote my undivided energies to the upbuild*
htg of the various interests of our section of
the State. iT ‘ ,
The Post will be tile mouth-piece of no
particular party or individual, nor will Us
columns be prostituted to tirade and abuse
from merely splenetic motives. Yet, all such
acts,-'both public and private, as it comes
wfthin my province to notice, I shall criticise
Impartially, and, when occasion demands,
shall lash unsparingly.
A now era of prosperity is dawning upon
our section. The Oconco no longer rolls af
our feet, murmuring its mocking taunts at
the sleeping energlos of our people; our mag
nificent pine forests have ceased to sigh their
doleful requiem over their hurled wealth of
turpentine and navul stores; the trade of the the
surrounding country, which has so long ra
diated to other markets, is being rapidly
brought bock to Dublin, its proper and nutu-
ral focus. Such are the fruits of pluck, en
terprise and energy. Yet, great as the pres
ent results *ro, they are but the beginning of
what la in store for us if wc will only remain
true to ourselves. The primo object and mis
sion of the Post will be to work on this lino—
to aid, encourage and foster every effort in
the direction of developing, and building up
ou# local interests. That a local paper may
bo made a potent instrument for good in the
work before us, all will agree, and to insure
the success of the Post I hope ail will leu J
their sympathy and support.
Respectfully,
.• U. L. Hicks.
aging to all the interests of the Demo
cratic party, and while Dr. Felton may
never have intended injury to the de
mocracy, nevertheless, his course in ob
taining a representative's place iti Con
gress 1ms done incalculable injury.
In the Eighth District, Mr. A. II.
Stephens 1ms, up to the present time,
obtained his place in Congress legiti
mately; that is, throngii Democratic
principles; but lie now “stands for re-
clcction” without regard to the choice
of the Democratic Convention of his
District. And this is not ull he has
done; for he has just a few days since
given notice to the world that ho in
tends utterly to ignore anything agreed
upon in Democratic caucus which does
not precisely comport with his ideas of
right. This is a lingo thing for Mr.
Stephens to nssumo to himself were he
sound in principle; and much more is
it true since he is evory day saying and
doing things which aro so commenda
tory of the ignominious and rascally
course pursued by such vile and un
principled Radical as the late Presi
dent Grant.
Mr. Stephens* course has been such
that the vilest Republican sheets in the
country are claiming that there is no
alternative loft him but thafof induct
ing himself into the Rupublican ranks.
And to-day he is dubbed tho loader of
Hayes faction; a faction that is
dyed in infamy, fraud and corruption
that is blacker than the darkest deed
over committed by the vilest criminal.
Then let tho pooplc of tho Seventh
and Eight Distrioto instead of giving
Dr. Felton and Mr. Stehpens an in
dorsement of their past course, lot their
votes fall like thunderbolts in condem
nation of their deeds.
It is not yet understood hero that
Col. J. H. Blount will have any oppo
sition in tho nominating convention for
tho Sixth District. And whether or
not he docs have opposition it is gener
ally conceded that his nomination is a
certainty. This in my humblo judg
ment is as it should bo. Col. Blount

Tho Post has not oscaped the fatality
attending thorflrot issue of all papors—
iluding some serious and unlooked-for
troubloat tho last momont. On last
Saturday about 12 o'clock we found
WHY ASSASSINATE THE
PEHOK?
Evf.ry one knows that several at
tempts have been mode to assasinatc the
German Emperor, and that the effort a
short time ago came near of accomplish
ment—that he had thirty shot buried
in his chest and arm. But we frequent
ly hear the questions asked, “Why pdt
William out of the way? What object
have the assassins in view? What does
it mean?”
The* Socialist element is very strong
in Germany. They are opposed to the
Government and in favor of a German
republic. They look upon the Emperor
as the embodiment of tlio Government
and of monarchy. They belief if they
can get him out of tho way, they can
inaugurate a revolution which his Jew
popular heir apparent can not Stay.
Says the Albany (N. Y.) Argils: “It
would be nothing surprising if a repub
lic should grow out of the present up
heaval in tho German Empire, or at
least a strong attempt in that direction!
be made. A London correspondence-
ports that no one ventures to speak open
ly in extenuation of Nobeling’s crime,i
but in private men say that the country
is ripe for a republic. France, now under
republican rule for seven years, is pros-
S erous, rich and happy. Germany, un-
er the Empire is poor, depressed and
wretched. Worse still, the alliance be
tween the Czar and Emperor is “
iniio a Avar with winch she has no _

In another col umn will bo found an in

Daring the festival week AK Jackson
and his sister visited Cincinnati, wi&rc
Major Byrne, assisted by his lady-love,
contributed to their entertainment. On
Thursday they all dined together at the
Barnet House very happily; that eve
ning the lover placed Li; betrothed in
the company of Mr. Jackson for the, fes
tival; Friday she, was to entertain him
by introduction to her lady friends, and
did, which excited no; suspicion in the
trusting mind and heart of the happy
lover, who had her losing assurances of
a few hours ago, and intimaey and love
of several years growth to assure him.
On Saturday afternoon Mr. Jackson
called upon his friend Major Byrne to
assist him in getting a marriage license,
to which he responded as a friend at
once, and together they repaired to the
Probate Court, the lover little dreaming,
what was in store for him—what a sta*
he was to receive from his friend. The
names of the contracting parties were
there first pronounced. Imagine what
must have been the feelihgs of the strong
man, the ardent lover, when hearing
the name of his almost wife in such a
connection, hut he believed it a cruel
joke, and not until he met the lady did
he doubt her. He was invited to give
the bride away, and having to release
her from her engagement with him, a
most solemn one, he consented; being a
life-long friend of both parties, and
lero seldom has been witnessed a no-
[er exhibition of true manhood and
ivalnr than when this gentleman, suf-

THE COMING kFaWTION-—PAR-
•irtr bjw unity.
Laurens County, Ga.,
June 13,1878.
Editor Post: All tho Georgia delega
tion aro asking for ro-elcotion to tho
next Congress. As a role, the best in
terests of the county will bo moro bene
ficially subserved by returning our old
members. Still there aro, in tho hum
bio judgment of the writor, two excep
tions, which should be studiously look-
* ed to by the people of iheso excepted
UistrioU at the noxt oleotion.
In tho Seventh, Dr, Wm. H. Felton
has never obtained his place through
tho principles of Joffereoman Democra
cy; that is to say, he never has askod
for or agreed to accept a nomination
from the Democracy of his District;
but on tho contrary has chosen to rido
into the House of Representatives in
Congress ou on independent schedule.
It lias been thoroughly demonstrated
to all the people of tho South that in-
ikpoudeut candidates are fearfully dam
in Congress than any man who can be
sent from tho Gth District at tho pres
ent time.
Tho minority however, may clamor as
they have dono in tho past for tho prin
ciples of rotation in office. But tho
propor answer to that in my humblo
judgment is, that Col. Blount for a
multiplicity of reasons, (only a fow of
whioh I havo mentioned) is tho man
host fitted for tho place. That boing
true, tho interests of tho country de
mand that rotation should bo left out
of the quostion. It is hotter to subserve
tho interests of tho entire people than
to subsorvo tho interests, of one mau.
Tho officer is tho servant of tho people
and not the office tho servant of the
oifloor. Tho office is created for tho
benefit of tho people and not for the
benefit and uggmndizemont of our indi
vidual. Then lot tho people loavo tho
priuciplo of rotation one of the quostion
and look to their . best interests when
thoy como to cast their votes.

ascertain public sontiment on this sub
ject, especially.in this county; and we
can say without fear of contradiction
that Mr. Blount Avill again be the choice
of tho pooplc, and that by an over
whelming majority.

It becomes our pleasant duty to chronicle in
the first issue of tho Post the marriage of Dr.
Hightower to Miss Genie Williams. Dr. H.,
Avith fine natural endowments, cultivated in
the best literary, scientific and medical institu
t ions of the land, has set up in our midst as a
practitioner and carved out as complete a suc
cess in his profession as was ever achieved by
any physician.
He will, we havo no doubt,find many of the
rough places in life’s future path made smooth
by the loving hand of the beautiful and ac
complished lady whose life is now confidingly
and inseperably intertwined with his own.

will be moro partionlarly important.

Nothing in the foshionablo social world
here has ever created such a sensation

as the strangely romantic marriage of

beauty and accomplishments, to Mr. B.
V. Jackson, of Parkersburg, West Vir

The affair was a runaway match, and
the ceremony was performed at tho
Burnet Honse by Rev. Dr. Gray, an
Episcopal divine.
Tho story is: The lady has long boon
ongaged to Major Byrne, a prominent
young railroad man of this city, a very
worthy gentleman, and, as his conduct
on thia occasion shows, a chivalrous one.
The Major is a devoted Catholic, which
