TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA. BOOMS OF EXECUTIVE COMMITEE STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION. In obedience to a call made through the public journals of the State, a Con vention assembled in this city on the 4th inst. to consider the best way to relieve our State of the evils connected with the use and abuse of intoxicating liquors. The Convention was composed of representative men from all parts of the State. In their opinions they were conservative, in their plans they were practical, and in their purposes they were fixed and determined. The body in its deliberations was singularly free from unreasonable enthusiasm and un bridled fanaticism. The body after a calm, thoughtful and harmonious ses sion, agreed to go, through its commit tee, before the General Assembly with a bill embodying the features of a local option law, with the position of parties thereto reversed. It is needless in this address to rehearse the minor details of the bill, they are such as seem best calculated to secure the enforcement of the law and the suppression of the evils of intemperance. We now call upon the citizens of the State to express their approval of the measure and to indorse the action of the Convention. This they can do by resolutions adopted by neighborhoods, districts, cities and villages, assembled in their court-houses or academies or other places of meetings, or by peti tions circulated to which their names may be signed, and then give public ity to their action through communica tions addressed to the secretary of this committee at Atlanta, and to the pap ers published in their respective coun ties. Fellow citizens, we are near to the victory! The evil in all its magnitude has been apprehended by the men and women in our State; the danger of de lay is fully appreciated and the im portance of calm, determined action is recognized. The judiciary of the State is right on the question; the press of Georgia favors repressive and restric tive measures; the ministry of our churches are supporting the reforma tion ; the solicitous parents are anxious ly watching for a remedy; the unfor tunate victims of the wine cup are ap pealing for help; the good citizens of every race and color, of all creeds and parties, of all ranks and stations in society are expecting relief, and the noble women of our grand old Common wealth with entreaty crystalized in tears and embalmed in prayers, are appeal ing to the General Assembly to stay the tide and break and beat back the waves of ruin and sorrow that come like'a flood in the wake of strong drink, and God who enjoins virtue and society upon his intelligent creatures—all—all are on our side. Be hopeful Be firm. Be decided, and in the name of Peace and Honor, and Truth and Manhood we beseech you make known your requests, and demand an everlasting redemption from the thraldom of the terrible monster who is blighting our fair land with drunkeness, ruin and infamy.

At the Commencement in June next year, this University will celebrate the centennial of its corporate existence. It was chartered in 1782 under the name of Liberty Hall Academy. This was changed in 1813 to Washington College, and in 1871 it received its present title—Washington and Lee University. An advertisement of this institution will be found in this issue. Winship’s Iron Works. —The at tention of farmers, planters, and of all who require machinery, is called to the advertisement of the Winship Iron Works, Atlanta. Messrs. Winship & Bro. have stood for many years in the front rank in their line of business. The excellence of their works is the best possible indorsement. The celebrated Liquid Enamel Paint, of which Mr. C. P. Knight, 93 Lom bard Street, Baltimore, is tlije General Agent, is universally admitted to be the best in use. Builders and others will find it to their interest to consult the advertisement in this number of The Index. From the New York Sun: Char les J. Guiteau, the assassin, was former ly a member of Calvary Baptist church in Twenty-third street. He brought a letter to that church from a Baptist church in Jersey City. But his con duct was such as to very soon arouse against him not only personal dislike, but a conviction of his insincerity and dishoitesty, and his desire to profit pec uniarily by his relation with thechurch. His ill-treatment of his wife and his wild talk and acts caused him to be disciplined and from church membership in 1872. The pastor of the church, the Rev. Robert S. Macar thur, alluded to these facts in his ser mon yesterday morning. He said: “The assassin who has plunged a whole nation into mourning was once a church member. His prospects in life were once bright. Once he stood up and confessed Christ as his personal Savior before men. Once he received the hand of Christian fellowship. Once he partoook of the bread and wine, the symbols of Christ’s body, broken and bleeding, and blood shed for sinful men and women. There is reason to believe that he imposed upon the church to which he first belonged, and which gave him a letter of intro duction to another church. But soon his true character was discovered, and he proved himself false in every rela tion of life as a man and as a husband. His wife, after suffering, untold agonies was obliged to leave him, and when his true character was discovered, he was disciplined and excluded from the fellowship of the church to which he then belonged. He gave loose rein to all his base passions. Never good, he became at times very bad, and went down step by step until he lifted his hand against the first citizen of this mighty Republic. Perhaps reason was dethroned. It is to be hoped so. Whatever excuses may be claimed for regicide in the old world, there are none for President killing in this Re public. We cannot bear the thought that such an idea could have entered that miserable man’s mind. We can not suffer the thought that such lan guage should find place in the liter ature of our beloved country. All sin is in fact insanity. In that sense .the assassin may have been insane, but, I think, in no other sense than that." The total number of newspapers in the United States is 10,297, of which 904 are dai ly journals.

By John Trumbull. With an Introduction by Ben son J. Lossing. LL.D. New York: Ameri can Book Exchange, publishers. In cheap, yet elegant form the American Book Exchange presents us with an edition of this justly celebrated satire, which cannot fail to meet the approval of book-buyers. In wit and humor not at all inferior to Hudibras, it excels that celebrated poem in sev eral important points. Its keen, felicit ous touches, its capital portraiture of noted personages of the times, the fidelity with which the author reflects the tone and spirit of the Revolution, and its thoroughly American color, make it a representative poem, a classic epic of American humor which will survive when many a far more preten tious work has disappeared in oblivion. The historical notes supplied by Mr. Lossing are entertaining and valuable. —We have received Blackwood’s Magazine for June from the Press of The Leonard Scott Publishing Co., 41 Barclay St., N. Y. It deales largely in poetry; and the article. “A Talk about Odes,” a companion paper to the “Talk about Sonnets,” which appeared in the nurabet-for August last, is filled with quotations. The “Land of Khemi” is a fertile oasis about seventy miles southwest of Cairo, and is supposed to be intimately associated with the history of Joseph ; many interesting antiquities have been discovered there. “Beolco and the ‘Commedia dell’ Arte’ ” is an account of an early Italian dramatist, whose comedies illustrating rural life and manners, and written in the peasant dialect, are still popular with the villagers. Several of his-plays are here described, with numerous ex tracts. Besides these we have “The Cruise of the Goya,” a fishing excursion in the wilds of Norfolk ; a continuation of “The Private Secretary,” which ap proaches a conclusion, and “Mattie; the History of an Evening” which re minds us of the story of Cinderella. The appearance of the index suggests that the present is a good time to sub scribe for a new volume, and any one who reads this number must feel that in so doing he is likely to get more than the worth of his money. Littell’s Living Age comes each week, freighted with the cream of English literature. It is conducted with ex cellent taste and judgment. At the end of a year the subscriber will be the fortunate possessor of a body of the choicest contemporary literature, in itself a very respectable library in ex tent, and, in quality, unexcellable. For these reasons “Littell’s Living Age” has been a household favorite for years. Subscription per annum, eight dollars. Published every Saturday by Littell & Co., Boston. “For My Children,” —Hon. W.A. Harris, Secretary of the State Senate, informs us that a man in his county circulating a temperance petition for signatures, and himself at the time un der the influence of ardent spirits, pre sented the petition to him. As he did so Mr. Harris remarked that the gentle man seemed to be the proper person to carry around a temperance petition —he carried the symbol of his mission in his face. The man, with tears in his eyes, replied • “Ah, Colonel, all the salt in the world could not save me—but I am working foi my child ren and my grand-children.” —The report of the board of visitors of the State University shows 217 pupils in the Thomasville branch, 125 at Cuthbert, 195 at Milledgeville, 212 at Dahlonega, and 155 in the University prorerw-aggregating 904 pu pils for the institution" The income of the University is $40,370.70, of which amount the thirty paying students contributed $2.100. The board is decidedly of the opinion that scholastic fees should be abolished and free tuition immediately inaugurated, believing that such a course would treble or quadruple the attendance. PROPHETIC WORDS. [From the Boston Daily Advertiser—J illy 4 ] Miss Frances E. Willard, who is now visiting friends in Brookline, relates the following incident of a conversa tion she had with President Garfield, shortly after his inauguration. She had expressed to him the pleasure it had given her to make his mother’s acquaintance, and he replied: “Dear old mother, she takes such an interest in her son James.” He then went on to say how she had such fears for his personal safety that, on one occasion during the campaign, alarmed by the presence of some rather suspicious looking strangers at Mentor, she took him aside and cautioned him to be on his guard against them. She thought that they would like to get him out of the way as a quick solution of the pending contest. After speaking thus to Miss Willard, the President remark ed : “I presume it is true that any man who has been put forward as the chief executive of a nation, whether he be a King or a President, is a target so conspicuous that he has a sort of fascin ation for a certain class of men with homicidal tendencies.” Immediately after, he added, thoughtfully and ser iously, these prophetic words: “I pre sume, personally, occupying the posi tion I do, I am in daily danger of as sassination.” The conversation then turned upon lighter subjects, but an impression had been made upon Miss Willard which she now vividly recalls. In commenting upon the attempted assassination yesterday Miss Willard said that in all the demonstrations of sorrow there was nothing so significant of good as the universal sympathy ex pressed by the South. New York and Chicago, loyal as they were, had sent no message to the White House since the satanic shots were fired, but Charleston and Atlanta were swift to think as well as feel, to comfort and console in the President’s darkened room as well as to weep at home. It was like their genial and expressive nature. Since President Garfield’s el ection Miss Willard has spent three months in the fourteen Southern States working and speaking for temperance in nearly all the chief cities, and every where, from the best classes in religion, philanthropy and politics she says she has heard only the kindest expression toward the new master of the White House. The general opinion of people and press, as she had heard and seen it, was that his fair and liberal spirit, his policy of national education, inter nal improvements and fraternal inter change, would do what no other Nor thern man had done to bring about the era of good feeling, the really reunited Republic. The present of the sum of two hun dred and fifty thousand dollars by the New York Chamber-of Commerce to Mrs. Garfield, the devoted and noble wife of the President, is one of the most notable instances in history of princely and well applied generosity. The motive of the donorc was to re lieve the anxiety of Mrs. Garfield as to pecuniary difficulties resulting from the calamity which has befallen the family, and to give practical force to the sympathy which exists in that city for the noble sufferer and his equally noble wife. The merchants of New York are princely in their munificence in every good cause, and this instance, as well as many others, illustrates the genuine gentlemanhood of the mer chants of the great American me tropolis. In the North American Review for June, Dr. Austin Flint, of New York, gives some facts in reference to “vac cination.” In England in the seven teenth and eighteenth centuries, seven to nine per cent, of the deaths were from that disease. In 1776 Junker computed the deaths from Small-pox in Prussia with its then 7,000,000 inhab itants at nearly 26,000. One hundred years ago 30.000 persons died anually in France from small-pox, and Sir James Simpson estimated the same number for England during the latter half of the last century, and from the statistics of the register-general he finds that the number of deaths to-day from that cause, in a vastly increased pop ulation, is less than one-third. Exten ding this average over Europe it is found that frm ofour to five hundred thousand fewer persons now die annual ly of small-pox than would have been the case fifty years ago with a similar population. Dr. Flint says in view of these data: “It is not necessary further to adduce facts to substanciate the state ment that, of all past discoveries, vac cination is beyond the reach of com parison when its effects upon one of the most loathsome of diseases is consid ered.” GEORGIA NEWS. —The crops are promising everywhere. —The colored people of Rome areabout to organize a public library. —The thermometer registered one hundred and one degrees in Savannah recently. —The factories in Columbus were never busier at this season of the year than now. —The Grand Lodge of Georgia has severed its connection with the Female College at Covington. —The Conyers Weekly says unless some disaster befalls the crops there is going to be the largest yield ever known in that county. —An election will be held in Douglass county on the 25th of July on the issue of restriction or no restriction of the sale of spirituous, vinuous and malt liquors, in quantities less than one gallon. —LaGrange Reporter: “Peaches have not yet made their appearance The crop throughout this section was almost totally destroyed by the cold weather last winter, and there will be but very few produced.” —D. H. Walker, President of the Walton Railroad Company, gives notice of applica tion to the Legislature for branch charters from Monroe to Athens, and from Social Circle to connect with any road from Macon to Atlanta, —The Brunswick and Albany railroad authorities heve published notice ot their intention to apply to the Legislature for a charter to build a branch to that road, and also to change its name to that of Brunswick and Pacific. —The cotton States consume, in their manufactories, less than one bale out of every thirty produced. This is a lamentable fact indeed. Georgia only consumes 67,874 bales, and produces 815,065, still she is ahead of any other State in the South, —The attention of the Legislature will be invoked to take into consideration the en largement of the Lunatic Asylum at Mil ledgeville, or of establishing an asylum or asylums at other points, as well, because the accommodations in Millelgeville are not sufficient to supply the demands upon it. It is astonishing, yea, alarming to see the vast numbers of this unfortunate class of people in our State, and the numbers still increase. —Augusta Evening News: “It is eithera dgn or a feature of the times that, in all parts of the country, and especially in Au gusta, men of ready means now prefer in vestment in real estate and in the building of business and dwelling houses, to investment in any other way. In numerous places, carpenters, masons and painters are overrun with work, and are vainly striving to recruit their force by bringing like mechanics from abroad.” —The Dade county Coal Mining Company now employs about five hundred hands, and turns out fifty cars of coal daily. The greater portion of the hands are engaged in opening several new coal leads. The company will put about one thousand men at work in the mines next winter, and mine nearly one hundred cars of coal pr day. Seven hun dred men were employed last winter, and the largest amount mined in any one day was seventy-seven broad gauge car loads.| —An Atlanta correspondent savs; “ The Temperance question has risen to proportions which few adequately estimate. It is said that the balance of power in North Carolina politics is held by the temperance men. So ardent are they in the advocacy of their doc trine that they are willing to subordinate political preferences to it and support that party whic i promises the strictest temper ance legislature. The feeling in favor of stringent liquor laws was never before so strong in Georgia as it is now.” —The Temperance Convention, which convened in Atlanta July 4th, was largely attended, harmonious, zealous and deter mined in spirit. The following resolutions, reported by the Committee on Business were, after lengthy discussion, adopted unani mously: "Your committee respectfully recommend that this Convention ask the General Assembly to pass an Act forbidding and prohibiting the manufacture, sale or furnishing of any and all intoxicating or malt liquors, except for medicinal, manu facturing or sacramental purposes, under proper restrictions. That the manufacture and sale of all in> toxicating or malt liquors is a nuisance, an unequalled curse to the people and State, but whenever any county, city, town or malitia district shall or may desire to estab lish a distillery for the purpose of manufac turing intoxicating or malt liquors, or to sell any malt or spirituous liquors, they may petition the ordinary of the county* who shall order an election to be held as in case of election for members of the General As sembly, upon giving thirty days notice thereof, at which election all the qualified voters within the county, city, town or mill tia district shall be entitled and authorized to vote- That the tickets shall be indorsed ‘whisky’or ‘no whisky,’ and should ama j ority of all the q ualified voters living within the county, city, town or militia district vote ‘whisky,’ then the ordinary or mayor may issue license as prescribed by Jaw. “That no law shall be passed modifying or repealing any prohibitory or Local Option law now of force in this State.” —ls the following could reasonably be considered the prevailing sentiment in Geor gia, in regard to immigration, it would be useless to advocate measures looking to the encouragement of immigration. However, we do not think that the article reflects the opinion of any number of influential men, or that it will, in the slightest degree, inter fere with wise measures for promoting the cause of immigration in our State. It is to be regretted, however, that even a particle of such reactionary and narrow-minded senti ment can find public expression at this peri od in the history of the Empire State of the "New Smth.” The Oglethorpe Echo has the distinction of being the author es the following’: l "Immigration There will doubtless be a strong effort made, during the coming session of the Legislature, to get an appropriation from the State treasury to aid Mr. Fontaine in his visionary immigration scheme. We have but a limited acquaintance with the gentleman, and from the high character maintained, consider him honorable and reliable; but, at the same time, feel fearful that his new departure will prove the same stupendous failure as that advertising bureau he established a few years ago in New York. The farmers of Georgia, taken as a whole, do not want foreign immigration, especially when they have .to pay for the experiment from their hard earned money. If a for eigner chooses to come among us at his own expense, and either work as a laborer or buy a form, and thus become identified with the country, he will meet courteous treatment so long as he obeys our laws and conducts himself in a becoming manner. But for the State of Georgia to use public money to flood our land with a lot of foreign paupers, who have no sympathy with our people or their customs, will be an outrage and a force- There have been hundreds of Europeans brought to Georgia since the war, and we would inquire how many are now at work on farms? They soon find they can’t ooms pete with the negro and jump their con tracts, or hie to some city and seeking a softer place by retailing lager beer, or open-* ing a bar-room. So long as the negro re> mains among us, there is no hope of success ful foreign immigration to the South. If our Legislature appropriates anything for bringing them over, it will inure to the benefit of the Western States. There they can herd together free from the restraining iafluence of the native American— and there they will soon drift. We are opposed to one dollar of the State’s money being given to this purpose. If individual planters wantto try the experiment of foreign laborers, let them order through Mr. Fontaine and get them out a t heir own expense.
