The Norcross Advance. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14, 1874. READING MATTER ON E VtRY PAGE JAS. U-. VINCENT-. Editor. MR. STEPHENS’ SPEECH ON THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. We have received in pamphlet from Mr. Stephens’ eloquent and• irrefutable speech on the Civil Hights Bill. It is a masterly com position and so adroitly drawn up that he makes the United Slates Supreme Court do his reasoning on all Constitutional and has thereby no doubt won admi rers and supporters ifi the highest political circles. While we have iiot space for the entire speech, We cannot, refrain from giving our readers the eloquent peroration: •‘Let us not do, by the passage of this bill, What oUr highest jtldi cial tribunal has said we have no rightful power to do. If you who call yourselves Republicans shall, in obedience to what you consider a Party behest, pass it, in the vain expectation that the Republican principles of the old and true Jeffersonian school are dead, be assured you are indulging.a fatal delusion. The old Jeffersonian, Democratic, Republican princi ples are not dead, and will never die so long as a true devotee of liberty lives. They may be buried for a period, as Magna Chart a was trodden under foot in England for more than half a century; but these principles will come up with renewed energy, as did those of Magna Chai’ta, and that, too, at no distant day. Old Jeffersonian, Democratic, Republican princi ples dead, indeed! When the tides of Ocean cease to ebb and flow, when the winds of Heaven are hushed into perpetual silence, when the clouds no lenger thun der, when Earth’s electric bolts are no longer felt or heard, when her internal tires go out, then, and not before, will these principles cease to live—then, and not be fore, will these principles cease to animate and move the liberty loving masses of this country. Dead, indeed! What mean these Utterances just heard from the Chief Magistrate of the Old Do minion on his entering into office, to which he has recently been chosen bj’ a majority of over 27, (XX), in a State which General Grant carried last year by a majority I need not name? A no table point in these utterances is What he said in them of President Grant. Hear them; and judge whether they come from one dead or alive. * » * « * The principles here announced are in strict accordance with the old Jeffersonian, Democratic, Re publican creed. As thus uttered they clearly indicate more than the dawn of that new epoch, and future new alignment oj the ele ments ot present party organiza tions in this country, to which I have referred. They are the key note of that movement stirred by these old Jeffersonian principles, which, dead as some may suppose them to be, will at no distant day, bo the basis of as signal a triumph by that party which plants itself squarely upon them, whether styled Republican, Democratic, or by any other name, as was that achieved in 1800, under the guide ot Jefferson himself. These are, indeed, the ever-living principles to which the country must return, i and which alone lead “to Peace, Liberty, and Safety!” PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Anew reader of the Advance Writes us to know why we are op posed to Public Schools. We have recently in these columns discuss ed the merits of the Public School system in Georgia and cannot now resume the subject at any length. We oppose the present system because it is inefficient, is injuri ous to the educational interest of the State, is paralyzing education al enterprise, ami is burdening us I with useless taxation. We are opposed to Public Schools in general because the i Government has no right to inter ; sere in such matters, because pop-' ular intellectual education will not necessarily better conduct.: and thereby protect Liberty, be cause efficient Public School sys tems are synoymous with compul sory systems of Education and | because compulsory systems of ■ Education on the part of Govern ment will dwarf the self Reliance, | the mural and intellectual vigor, and the s<lf respect and manhood of the people—will breed slaves. ! not freemen. FARMING w. CLERKING. It is astonishing how zest fully farmers’ sous are hunting clerk ships m towns and cities. Week ly we receive letters from young, men wishing to know where they ; can obtain a clerkship, or other salaried position. We know young men who have dilly-dal lied hunting positions for two years and are to day without em- j : ploy men t and money. We know other young men who have clear ed during the two years $640, by making corn and cot ton. We met one of the«*e young men to-day and upon inquiry he told us he was at work every morning before sun rested one hour al noon; worked until dark, read two hours after supper, and then slept as sweetly as a healthy child the balance of the night. He says he is content and though farming does not pay many of his neigh bors who lie late at morning and visit town often it is paying him well enough. He has broad shoulders a massive head, stands I six feet, two, and is well posted in the general events of the day. He is jovial, robust, and indepen dent; and will be one day a weal thy, intelligent, and influential citizen. He and a few others are silent ly and obscurely developing into physical, mental, and moral man hood— strong and vigorous—and amassing means with the knowl edge of its worth and the mode of augment ng it, while many are running up and down railroads to and from towns and cities in quest of a vacant shody position contracting immoral habits, dwarfing their physical constitu tion, feeding their minds only on floating trash, and gaining naught else but a love of idleness and ease. THE PEOPLE AND THE CHURCHES Silently but surely woi ks a pow er among the people more elo quent than the tonguesofa thous and modern preachers. What an enormous reaction—what a break ing up of present religious organ izations—what a change in church work is implied in our first utter ance! We do not touch this subject with zeal, but we and the people do zestfully welcome the results. Decade after decade has produced a heartless formalisid in the churches —year after year has tightened the bonds of denomi national unions and priest-ridden the people with multitudinous preachers, agents,elders, and bish ops, and to-day the churches are fast losing both the power of the spirit aiid the glory of any sort of popular enchantment! The fatal lethargy that attends the preach ers of to-day upon their assigned circuits is emblematical of the fate of an organization which has survived the spirit which gave it meaning and power —of a faith once powerful but which now has nearly naught of the visible workings of Him whose work it is intended to do. Again we say we do not touch this subject with zeal, but pent up public sentiment demands that We touch it and touch it earnestly, Whatever the minis try ami heftds of the churches may think the people We know are sick of barren results in the churches— sick of mere formal preaching and praying—sick of preachers who show no fruit but dearly love the place of the flock —sie.< of assess ments to pay this and to pay that ) —and dreadfully sick of cold, un fruitful, but high salaried preach ers. THE NORCROSS GRANGE. This organization met on last Saturday evening and we learn did much work for the good of the order. Maj. Geo. 11. Jones is Mas ter; Dr. James W. Mills, Secetary. ; and Dr. Richardson, Lecturer. Os the objects of the Grange or- , ganization we have no knowledge ' except what we gathered some lime since from a perusal of the Constitution of the National j Grange at Washington. Its objects as set forth in this ' printed Constitution are not only | worthy but laudable, and should j commend themselves to every j ■ farmer for each ai d all of whom the organization was originated. Besides the main objects of the ■ Giange it has also a business as- ’ pect which, if known, would at ; once awaken an interest in every ■ farmer, and secure his immediate • initiation into it. We rejoice at this movement of the honest, toiling farmers to ’ disenthrall themselves from the 'greedy monopolies that oppress 1 them, from the lethargy imino bi 1 ity and inactivity among them. from the ignorance that over spreads them and their families, and from the present degraded state of their vocation; for this, —all this is the object of the Grange movement. “WAR IN HEAVEN” BY BON. JAH. P. SIMMONS. 1 We have read the above named work critically, and have been agreeably disappointed as to its purport. We had heafd of the work and had been impressed ' with the idea that it was not only novel but even heretical.. The main leading idea of the work is to prove the Pr<‘exis tence of the Human Soul. This subject is not novel. It was dis cussed by ancient Philosophers and Theologians and was by*the latter regarded as the most impor tant question in the domain of their discussion. The majority of both ancient Philosophers and Theologians believe in the Pee existence ofthe human soul. The main leading idea then of “War in Heaven” is not new; but Col. Simmons has investigated it in the light of the Scripture and has grouped around this main idea several corollaries which are new and which are iconclastic of cer tain human creeds and faiths. Many of these corollaries we re gard as logically drawn from the Scriptures and to us they throw much light upon the metaphysics of Philosophers and the scared writers. “War in Heaven” is certainly suggestive—opens many new channels of Philosophic and Scrip tural thought, but we cannot see how any sane man can pronounce it heretical unless he deems all that heretical which conflicts with his own darling creed. There is much germful matter in a crude state in “War in Heaven” and this matter Theologians must weigh and sift, because it involves questions the public demands light upon. Persons should not accept the opinions of biased and interested men upon the merits of “War in Heaven” but should read it and judge of it for themselves. Rev. Mr. Carey, our now preacher, gave us an earnest and practical sermon on last Sabbath. He elicited a manifestation of feeling from some ofthe audience and we think made a lasting im pression on many minds. [COMMIXICATED. CUMMING-GOOD TEMPLARS ' —M D. IN ’TROUBLE—THE CHURCH AND THE HIGH SCHOOL. Mr. Editor : Your itemizer from this point overdoes the thing" in some instances. He puffs and puffs some,while he does not no- I tice many others equally as de ! serving. He also omits mention j of many who do not need puffing in newspapers, for they will get puffed at our next court Poor old Nick, M. D., will catch it next April court. It can be proven that he sold Mr. G. one pint of whiskey at fifty cents; and as well as Mr. G. loved it it was so mean he had to sweeten it and then he took two much. He will I be rolled over the coals next court. ; You know we have no grocery • here, but two M. D.’s shops an- i swer the same purpose. Nick is ' I already gone up but the other is ' 'an old rat and hard to catch. He ' > has made a gootl living by selling j | the stuff and keeps fell himself. I ; But his time is coming—may be ■ ' next April. I The Methodist church is at last j * partially swept and ruffles and I i russels are still worn without re- i gard to cost or comfort. It seems ; strange to see butterflies on [ Christmas day. Pi of. Ballenger’s school opened ■ l with flattering prospects and bids ( J fair for the first session. I don’t | know whether all the Good Tem plars resisted the Christmas egg- I ■ nogg or not; but I know they have a new stove, and are cleaning up i | and sweeping out and will in a ! j few days have a good lodge room ’ and are in a flourishing order. Col. R. P. Lester has returned I ' to Cumming with his interesting j j family and has t aken up his abode j for life.

Mr. J. L. Hudson, the widely known wagon builder, has finish ed for himself the most comforta ble and tasteful residence in Cumming, The old Hallman Hotel has been thoroughly repaired and fitted tip' by Mr. T. L. Simms, who will make it the most desirable board ing house in this section. Prof.—=——has tuned all the pianos in Fdrsyth, which amounts to four, we are informed. A leading member of the Meth dist church became so liberal this year that he reduced his assess merit from $25 to $4 50 which last amount he paid the circuit rider. Newton Harrell, Esq., says all the good guano does consists in its stimulating the farmer to work to pay for it, It stimulates an honest man more than it does his land, Col H. W. Rusk, on Big creek, is the second-rate tax payer of Forsyth, but his fine bottom lands failed last season to make him erough corn to fatten his hogs. Mr. W. D. Hawkins is a rising young man. We are told he at tended Cumming High School in 1871, when he had not sufficient money to pay his board and tui tion, but was favored With time for payments of both. He made good use of his time, completed the business course, went to work, made the money and paid his over-due tuition fees and board before the expiration of 1872. In 1873 he became the popular clerk of Messrs. Kellogg <fc McAfee* courted the beautiful and rich Miss Lizzie Law, mar ried last Christmas,, secured Col. Kellogg’s new store at Oak Grove in the upper part of Fowyth, went to Atlanta to make purchases, and is now opening a large and well selected stock of Dry-Goods and Groceries in one of the most thrifty neighborhoods in north east Georgia. He is energetic, sober, honest, courteous, and brave, and the gods help him. Bright is his future. If there should be a call for a State Convention of patriots—men who have grown wise in legisla tive lore and truly devoted to Georgia—Forsyth will send down Maj. George Kellogg. E. IV. Lewis, the future capital ist of Forsyth, is anxious to build a cotton factory in this county, and will do so if he secures requi site co operation. Mr, W. W. James has returned ■ from Charlotte and judging from his appearance he will be satisfied Ito remain. He did not even find a wife While he was gone. Miss Cornelia Patterson is the -intelligent and efficient assistant in the High School. Our present Representative, in view of his future aspirations, has declined wearing his predeces sor s fox skin coat to the ensuing session of the Legislature. Fox tails, idiotic laughter, going! gone!! The anticipated of the Lien Law has decreased the sale of provisions to farmers. Our ■ merchants will eagerly watch leg islative action on this point and act accordingly. CHEROKEE NEWS. Ger. S. M. McConnell, with his his characteristic energy and sense, is making the Cherokee Mills and Factory pay largely, i just as he does all his enterprises. 1 i The mails in Cherokee are very irregular.

Making Purchases Under Dif ficulties. —Esquire Chestnut, of DeKalb, with several of his neigh bors, went with loaded wagons to Atlanta, to sell produce and make purchases of such articles as all farmer’s familes need. The pro duce was readily disposed of and the whole party deposited their wagons and teams at the wagon yard, and all scattered out in town to make such purchases as desir ed. After several hours all met again at the wagon yard ahd ex hibited the purchased articles. Among other things Esqliite C t exhibited a baby cap, which some of his neighbors Very readily dis covered was designed for a baby of the male persuasion, and they told the Esquire the cap would not suit his baby—it being a girl. The Esquire hung his head Reflec tively a few moments, then asked: “Is our youngest a girl? I’ll de clare I thought it was a boy Several of his female neighbors assured him he was mistaken, whereupon the Esquire returned with the cap to the store where he had made the purchase, and said : “ Mr. Clerk, my neighbors tell me that our youngest child is a girl, and that this is a boy’s cap.” The astonished clerk, said; “ You must be very forgetful.” “ No, Sir,” said the Esquire, “my memory is very good, but we have so many children at our house that nary man in the world could remember the sex of the whole brigade.” The citizens of Stone Mountain have by popular yote stopped the retailing of liquor within the in corporate limits. This will inure to the interest and* growth of our neighbor, and give her a high so cial and moral tone that will at tract more capital and influential families than all the dram shops in Georgia, Rev. Mr. Stillwell, the popular Baptist pastor at Stone Mountain, has made himself quite popular and is doing much good. The High School at St one Moun tain promises to be a success. The villagers and the people in the adjacent country are enlisted in its behalf. Roswell news. The Willeu Mills Factory, two miles west of Roswell, will soon be completed and will at once be gin a profitable business under the skillful management of W. A. Hansel, Principal, and Asa Bush, Superintendent. Roswell is rapidly improving. The railroad depot will be located near the Roswell store. This is the decision of the last survey. This is the most central location and will add much to the prosper ity of the town. The grading of tne railroad will be completed to the river in about two weeks, and the road equipped to this point immediately. Mr. B. A. James, a skillful and industrious mechanic of Norcross, and his family will move to Ros well next week. He has now contracts enough to employ most oi his time during the present year. THE COMMONWEALTH. We welcome to our exchange list the Commonwealth published in Atlanta, by Messrs. Mitchell and Sawyer, and with our unre served endorsement we present our readers its Platform : Ist. We believe in principles, not men. ! 2d. We believe in the rights of the States ! to regulate their own domestic affairs—po- j litical, social and municipal—subject only ’ to the Constitution of the Union. 3d. We believe that this is a white man's government, and white men should control it. 4th. We believe in the restriction of all legislation, whether State or Federal, to its legimate functions—that of protecting its citizens in life, and property. Sth. We are opposed to internal improve ments by the geneial government; to a pro tective system on tariff, and to all special or sectional legislation. 6th. We believe in a rigid economy in the nditnres of the public monies, and the lowest juisaible tariff of taxation. These are the fundamental principles up on which the Commonwealth will base all its policies. Os those who think as we do, we ask a hearty co-operation in the duty of upholding and defending them.

The Million is the only . journal in the world devoted to the inter est of Character Note System of Mtudcal ' Notation, and, judging from the spicy con- | tribution and able editorials, combined > with its new Music, we think it a valuable I addition to the homes of our musical peo- j pie.

From Atlanta Uenstitution, March 11, ’73. Prof. Vincent, the Principal, is one of the leading educators of the State, and the High School is rapidly taking its posi. tion in the front rank of educational in stitutions, Front the Atlanta Sun, March, 1873. This is an independent enteprise.***** Prof. Vincent is well known as a teacher of splendid attainments, having devoted I his entire time and energies to that busi- I ness. Norcross is a healthy place, pure air, good water and immediately on the Air-Line Railroad, about twenty miles from Atlanta. From Gainesvilla Eagle, March 8, 1873. There is nothing of more importance to the youth of our country, than a sound practical education. Indeed it is a mat i ter of first consideration, and in order ■ that the foundation for an education may I be laid in the shortest time and at the . leastexpense it is necessary to liaveteach ; ers—those who, from experience, have ! shown an aptness for imparting instnic ! tion. Such a teacher is the Principal of ' the Norcross High School. j From the Gwinnett Herald. i J. U. Vincent, Principal, is a ripe schol- I ar and experienced teacher. ; From the Cartersville Standard.
