STIFFENING FOB THE “DISMAL
JEMMIES. J»
The most pestiferous and troublesome
class of men in the world are tho •• Dismal
Jemmy" men. They forever look on the
doll side of life. Yon cannot inspire them
with hope—they answer your bright prom
ises with deprecatiug melancholy. If you
attempt to pot them on their legs, they
will wabble helplessly, and flatten in despair
in the dust. If you convince them with
facts aod figures that some good is in store
for them, they will sniffle and weep, and
blubber and point yo t to the past, and
whimper with a jaundiced ^logic that le
cause the good bas’nt come yet, it -'aint a
coming.
They are horrible creatures, with their
clammy despondency, and one of them
will do more to d ?courage and demoralize
a party than fifty enemies could.
It seems t j us that the Democratic party
is full of them We are visited by them
sometimes, and we can feel them coming
when they are fifty yards lrom our sanctum
They come in, sit d wo aod commence ‘pil
lin ; their wofnl despair over ns—the damp
hopelessness just oozes out of them and
slimes ns from head to foot, till it takes all
the starch out of our system. We put the
question in its brighest light, and try to get
them to live in hope, but it is uo use—they
only ooze the faster, till we aro completely con)es -

limpened, and throw our arms around them
and weep over the woes of our country.
Now we hat e a few words for those weep
; willows. They think that the Demo
cratic party is dead—that there is no hope
for the South, aud thai there is no use try
ing anything further.
The following for their stiffenin;
Grant's majority over Seymour was
305,784, The Democratic vote cast was
2,689,284. Thus we have over 2,500,000
of Dcuioeratio votes, and ocly 300,000 to
overcome. Let it be remembered that Grant
embodied the principles for which North
ern blood was shed, and Northern money
was spent, and that in voting for him the
people were only consumating the Revolu
tion, and that those issues are now Settled,
and that now the fight will be more equal.
It must be remembered that Seymour was
nominated by a trick, and that the party
was thus split in the inception of the cam
paign. This will not occur again. Again
the Southern Degroes and the Southern bal
lot boxes were so manipulated that a ma
jority of the Southern States went for
Grant. No sensible man doubts that nine-
tenths of them will go Democratic in 1872,
With the negro qnesti m dropped from the
platform, with a squarely noaiii ated candi
date. and skillful manipulation of the ne
gro vote, snccess in ’72 is certain.
The Republican party is badly ruptured.
The 15th amendment having been passed,
we see Farnsworth, llingham and others in
the House; Carpenter, Edmunds, Conkling,
Ferry, Sherman, Trumbull and others, in
the Senate, positively deserting the party,
and fighting lustily its avowed policy—
Farnsworth taunting Sumner, and Bing
ham pummelling Bader, has a deep signifi
cance. It means rebellion from the domi
nation of the Radical party, a id death to
the party leaders. The party is continually
making blunders. The naturalization hill,
which degrades the white emigrant below
the negro is a desperate and noxious meas
ure. The national police bill is worth fire
hundred thousand votes to the Democrats.
The ameuded Georgia bill has already im
mensely injured tbe'r party, and even the
boasted 15th amendment is about to bring
reproach upon the party. For we hear the
Radicals in Connecticut asking that the
amendment be not declared law until after
their spring election, as its working would
kill the party in that State.
Now, Dismals, cheer np. We gained
270,000 iu the election of ’68 ove r that oi
- 64. A similar gain in four more years will
set ns over tbc fence.
Specie Payments. -The low price
gold has, in a small way. already inaugn-a
ted specie payments in onr large dries.—
Many barkeepers and fancy goods dealers
are advertising that they will use specie in
changing bills for parries who trade with
them. A party in Atlanta paid a bill of 815
in gold, and Mr. James, banker, has used
spede at par, in several transactions
Tn* Georgia Bill —The Georgia bill,
that passed the House as amended by
Bingham, provides that Bull -ck and the
present Legislature shall not hold their seats
for two additional yea s, but that the peo
ple shall indnlce in tho luxury of a new
election during the coming November. We
heartily advise the irresponsible creatures
who desecrate the Legislative Halls at pres
ent, to make the most of their rime, for W3
will strike, them from their places next No
vember as snre as there is a sun in the
heavenly system. We do not briieve that
five counties in the State of Georgia will
return their Radical Representatives to the
next Lcgislatnre.*As tor Bullock—why look
ont, Skowbegan for the return of yonr
prodigal son.
After Bullock —Mr. Wifiaraq an en
ergetic member of the H use, was . in onr
city a day or two ago. He was engaged in
the laudable occupation of hunting up little
tricks to worry .Bollock with. He gained
some good points from Mr. Crawford, the
expelled member from Bartow, and will
donltless make fine use of them when the

Tribute of Respect*
Whereas it has pleased the Great Arcbi
tect of the Universe to remove from earth
onr esteemed brother, W. M. Kcocn, mem
her of Mount Hickory 'Lodge, No 133, of
Ancient Free and accepted Mason: and
inherent it becomes us at all rimes to bow
in humble submission to the will of Him
who is alone Omnipotent, Omnipresent,and
Ouiniscieut: and whereas we, as his snrviv
ing brothers and fellows, feel sensibly the
loss lrom onr Order, as also the vacunm in
thecommunity: Therefore be it reso'ved,
1st. That we wear the badge of mourn
ing fur thirty (30) days, in token of our
respect and love, for onr esteemed brother,
aud in memoty of his many virtues.
2nd That for the same reasons, the Sec
retary appropriate a blank page in the re
cord, inscribed with his name, age and date
of his demise, and that the Secretary also
presents tho family of deceased with a copy
of these resolutions.
3rd. That it is with feeling of deep re
gret that on account of the absence of a
knowledge on the part of this Lodge, of the
demise of onr brother, at an earlier period,
that wc were debarredjthe melancholy pleas
ure of performing such Masonic honors, so
eminently due the rcmvns of onr deceased
brother.
4th. That these resolutions be published
in the Rome Conrier.

Tit for T^.t—Caldwell, in his report
before the Senate Committee demonstrated
that Bullock had been guilty of shameful
misdemeanors in his gubernatorial coarse.
Bullock does not attempt to defend himself
but commences dirtying'Caldwell He can’t
extricate himself from disgraces, and he
wants to make Caldwell wallow with him.
Vendetta.—A first cla>s vendetta is
being waged on the Mississippi river. Lid
dell and Jones are the parties that are en
joying it. They commerce killiug each oth
er on sight. One Liddell and two Jones’
have been killed in the last two weeks. As
there are bnt a few more of each side left,
it is probable that we shall soon hear the
last of this cbivalric barbarism.
Grant and the Gold Ring.—Jim
Fisk is very anxious to send Grant twining
with the woodbine by proving his complic
ity in the gold ring. We sincerely hope,
for the sake of decency, that Jim, Jr., cant
prove it on Ulysses, though the latter is
so heavily stupid that it is very probable
he will be caught. We would have thought
that being kicked ont of the army for a dis
reputable action, would have taught him to
avoid such palpable dishonesty in future,
and content himscll with receiving presents
in lien of office appointments.
A Royal Scandal.—The Prince of
Wales has been detected in an illicit amour
with the wife of one of hia Noblemen.—
This man Mordannt was horribly stupid,
but charmingly rich. The fair lady mar
ried his rent roll, and then rent his heart
by rolling into the arms of the naughty
young Prince. England will laugh at - the
lollies of its arming king, and the betrayed
Mordannt will seek for comfort with the fox
and hounds. Thus wags the world.
[For the Rome Courier.
Thing* to be Marveled At.
Mr. Editor—Everyday witnesses some
startling advance. With every revolution
of the earth, we beho! i some capital revo
lution in the mechanical world. Almost
every hour brings u, srme surprising adap
tation of physical laws to useful ends. Some
capturing and caging up, as it were, of the
enormous and ever-acting forces of nature,
fur mau,
This being the case, yon will, I ;hink,
allow me the privilege of living to yonr
readers a weekly resume of tho more prom
inent inventions or discoveries that may
chance to cctne under my notice. Without
more ado then, I will commence.
The Pneumatic Railway.
For a lung rime merchants have felt the
need of a more rapid method of transport
ing ireight from one point lo another, than
we at present enjoy. An invention jnst
perfected promises to supply this need.
A tremendous air-tight tube is made.—
Let us suppose that it reaches from St Lonis
to New Orleans. . Large hollow balls, jnst
fitting tbc inside of the tube are provided.
We will suppose that these balls are filled
with oranges at New Orleans; and planad
in the New Orleans end of the cylinder.
This end is closed, and by means of an air
pump at St. Lonis, the air is all drawn lrom
the tube. The New Orlean •• end is then
opened, the pressure o! the atmostpbere
forces the loaded balls with incredible ve-
loci'y, and the people of St. Lonis will eat
tropical oranges with the aromatic dews of
the Sooth scarcely dry upon them.
The importance of this Pneumatic Rail
way can scarcely be estimated. New York
and Savannah can interchange products
with lightning speed. Fruits plneked in
Georgia may be eaten in St. Lonis with ev-
cry juice fresh and fkwing, aod fat steaks
cat from fresh slain cattle in Missouri may,
in ten minutes time, spatter on Georgia
gridirons. Papers published in New York
to-night may first see the light in Lonsiano.
Even passengers may be whisked like feath
ere through the cir Railways A man may
take a little chloroform, gu to sleep in Geor
gia, be packed in a ball, and wake op shiv
ering amid the snows of Boston.
The Ice Machine.
The haughty icebergs of the Polar seas
are absolutely pale with fear and envy as
they see the ioe merchants of New York
forsaking them and rushing to the swelter
ing streets of New Orleans for their ice.—
Their monopoly is gone. They may dis
port their ghastly forms as loftily as they
plcaee, bnt beyond affording , mirrors to
Seals and Esquimeanx, and food for the
fancy of florid young poets, they arc non
entities. A machine has been invented in
New Orleans that will manufacture o:e
hundred tODS ol ice daily, superior to
Northern ice, and cheaper than it can be
shipped from any berg in the world.
This is the method. \ lot ot square sheet
iron boxes are pruvided, -arronnded by
number ot iron pipes. The boxes aro filled
with distilled water, some volatile substan
ces (sneh as ammonia) are rapidly passed
through the pipes for a few moments, the
sheet iron boxes are opened, and large
bl cks of ice taken tk< refrain. This ice
sold at thirteen dollars per ton.
We noticed Philadelphia, a day or two
ago ordering ice from New Orleans.
Machine Sewing by Electricity.
Hood’s song of the shirt with its tiresome
stitch, will soon bett.etale of a long fir-
gotten barbarism.
Sewing by hand has long Ihxu supplant
ed by sewing with the sewing machine. An
objection soon arose to this method. The
ceaseless use of the legs in working the
pedals of the machine, brought on several
diseases that swept away wurien by the
■core. This evil is remedied, by the use
of a magnet, an armature, and a battery of
four or five galvanic cups. By these agen
cies, a constant electric force is generated
that will ran the machine effectually
while the operator is attending t > < thcr
business. Sewing machines with this gal
vanic attachment will soon be in the reach
of the people.
When we mention that this electric pow
er will soou be used to run other affairs
where only small force is needed we may be
pardoned for prophesying that before long
the happy honsewifu will sec her sewing
machine sagaciously patching clothes in the
corner, her churn churn coaxing butter
with a galvanic dasher, her clothes bein (
washed by an independent machine, her
baby rocked in a self-acting cradle, and her
scouring done by an electric mop, while
she rests her head on her husband’s shout
der. and listens to the wise words of the
Courier, and thanks tho Lord for the infin
ite fertility of the brain ot man.

An Editot Unde i tue Influence of
Gin.—The editor of the Logan (Ohio) Ga
zette having been presented with a bottle
of Lond-m Dock Gin, drank it, a d then
attempted to write a paragraph of thanks,
with this melancholy result:
In conclusion, here’s to the ; 5re Foun
tain Company No. some.' the Brass found
tain Belle Band, and the rest of onr home
institutions and organizations including
the ladies, and other branches of business

meet, etc., all of which may be bad cheap
at tbc Back Drook—Brook and Drag Store
of Jiouinger’s London Dock Gin. for two
dollars a year, if - payment is delayed until
the end of the Atlantic Cable.
An Illust ration.—In a recent lee-
turo room talk on God's ways of answering
onr prayers and dealing with ns, R:v. Hen
ry Ward Beecher said :
Once a cat of mine had her kittens.—
We went and looked, at them, and she was
disturbed to think we knew where they
were. Determined to convey them to a
safe place she came back, took a little kit
ten in her mouth, and after several mouth-
ings got the right hold, and away she weDt.
If that kitten thought any thing,it thought
that to be grabbed tha* way was hard.—
When God’s providence takes ns in the
teeth, wc think its a dragon ; but be is ta
king us into safe places; and when wo are
laid down carefully,who says that the teeth
met or that the skin was broken ?
The Lon of tbe Oneida.
A dispatch from San Francisco brings
fall particulars of the loss of the United
Slates steamer, Oneida, which left Yoloho-
tna on the 23d. of January, homeward
bound
The steamer left her anchorage about 5
o’clock in the afternoon, end tbc accident
occurred at seven the same evening. The
United States Minister visited her in tie
forenoon, and received the usual salute, and
the guns were reloaded with the expecta
tion of replying to a salute from a Russian
gunboat to Mr. DeLoring. The salute, how
ever, was not given, and the guns remained
loaded. As the Oneida stean-ed out of the
harbor, the crews of the various vessels,
and the men at work in the port give cheers
aod wished her a happy voyage. Oo passing
out of the harbor her fires were banked and
stearu blown off.
While the officers were at dinner about
o’clock, the lookout man ehouted, ‘'stea
mer lights ahead 1” and a midshipman gave
the order to port helm. Everything seemed
qnieton beard the other steamer. This lead
to believe that she had n -t observed the
Oneida, although her lights were burning
brightly.
The steamer, which proved to be the
Bombay, of the Peninsula and Oriental line
came right on and struck the Oneida on
tbe starboard, l baft the gangway about half
way between the main and mizzen riggit g.
A hole was cut, through which the whole
interior of the ship was visible. The bin
nacle wheel and rudder were carried away,
and the two men standing at the wheel were
instantly killed.
The Bombay did not stop after crashing
through the Oneida, though the gnns of
the latter, which happened to be loaded,
were almost instantly fired to attract her
attention aod bring her baok.
Orders were given to lower the boats, bnt
only one lifeboat being available, tbe oth
ers having been crashed. The lifeboat was
manned by Dr. Stoddard, the boatswain and
fifteen of the crew. Five gnns were fired,
bnt before the 6th could be discharged, the
Oneida sank within ten minates after she
was struck.
None of those saved saw a man or heard
voice on board the Bombay. They report
that when it became evident that there was
no hope of saving the ship, the officers
gathered around Capt. Williams, and he
was heard to say if the ship went down he
would go with her. The life boat was oblig
ed to leave the sinking ship to avoid being
swamped.
After palling abont for awhile, the crew
of the lifeboat seeing none of the grew float
ing, not one of all the 160 who went down
unwillingly bent their boatshead to land
ward abont five miles distant. On landing
the natives kindly treated them, and they
obtained the assistance of a guide and start
ed to walk to Tokoboma, which they reach
ed at daylight the next morning.
The Bombay was immediately ordered
to the scene of tbe wreck, and succeeded
in saving twenty-nine men, who had got
into a cutter which floated when the ship
went down. Several other vessels, one with
Minister DeLoring on board, proceeded to
the scene of the disaster daring the* day,
but no more lives were saved
The Japanese Government sent bo a ts
and apparatus iu search fur the
if nrr Jyi | ip lim)$

surprised when they heard the calamity

thoroughly investigated,would involve inure
disagree able revelati-ms than any sabjeet
ever brought Iefore Congress 1 mean the

The proceedings of tho Louisian i Press

effort was made to pledgo the press as a
body to independence of nil existing polit

the Tote was a tie. Of the' New Orleans
papers the Times, the Picai/une and De-
Bows Review, were for this independence,
and the Bee aod La Recaimnce against it.
There were three arguments used against
it: That it was an a'.tempt to create a third
party; that it seemed newspaper dictation,
and that it cast a star on Democracy.

True to the Letter.—The Atlanta

The Republican party in Georgia owes
its very life to the negroes. Should they

and to their votes isdne the strength which
tbe party has derived from the ex-rebels.
It is not human nature for a man to desert
friends, kindred and party, and go into an
organization that is considered odious,unless
that party has the strength to reward him
for the sacrifice. There was cot nte mm

from a radical, bnt who either got or

To M \ke Cows Give Milk.—The ag.
ricnltural editor of the Beekeepers’ Journal
vouches for the following,handed him by a
friend.
If yon desire toget a large yield of milk,
give yonr cow, three times a Gay, water
slightly warm, and slightly salted, inf
which bran has been stirred at the rate ol
one quart to two gallons of water. Yon will
find that your cow will gain twenty-five
per cent, immediately under the effects of
it, and she will bicome so attached to the
diet as to refuse to drink dear water, an
less very thirsty, but this moss she will
drink almost any time,and ask for more.
The amount of this drink is an ordinary
water pailful at each time—morning, no in
and night. Yonr animal wil then do her
best at diseonnting tbe lacteal.

The corn crop now demands the atten
tion of tho farmer. In localities where
danger of. hard freezes is over, the s inner
it Is planted the better. Wl etc ample pro
vision for feed ol* all kinds has not been
made, by sowing largely of oats and < (her
grains, our realms will pardon ns for urg
ing that a large btcadlli of land be devoted
te corn. It may not bo a profitable crop
compared with small grains, bat experience
bas shown that, as a general role, it is de
cidedly better policy for tbe former to raise
than bay bis provisions. To one living on
a railroad cr steamboat thoroughfare, with
land especially adapted to cotton growing,
and with a good season, it may be cheaper
to bay corn than to raise it; bnt bow few,
comparatively, arc thus situated, and who
has the guarantee of good seasons ? The
corn crop is made daring the first half of
summer— the cotton crop daring the latter
half; it may happen, therefore, that a sea
son be admirably suited for a corn crop and
yet perfectly disastrous to a cotton crop.—
It does not follow, because the cotton crop
tails that corn wonld have failed -Iso, and
we most urge again, as we have done be
fore, that two chances arc better than one.
For core, land should be plowed vety
deep and thoroughly,- to guard against
drought, the greatest of its enemies in onr
climate. Asa farther safeguard against
the same, flat culture is all important, nnd
to render this practicable, it should be
planted in tbe water farrow, or where tbe
land has not been bedded, in tbc bottom of
a deep, broad (arrow, made by a latge shov
el, drawn by two horses. This farrow should
be so wide that a little list may be thrown
the seed withent filling tbo large fnrrow.
Planted in this manner, the com makes its
appearance below the general level of the
surface, and permits dot to be thrown to it
in tbe after workings, without ridging tbe
land. jOnr best authorities say, that in the
early stages of cultivation, the dirt should
not le thrown to it too rapidly, allowing
time for the roots from the first joint to de
velop well, be‘ore those from the second
joint shall have soil to form in.
Cotton seed b generally considered a
standard manure for this crop. It is one
in which the nitrogenous clement b in ex
cess, as compared with other important in
gredients, and in substituting any other
manure iu its place for corn, we should fol
low thb indication. All the small grains
and grasses (corn b a true grass) delight in
tatrogetoas fertilizers. Some ofoar enter
prising formers might do a good work, by
making a series of experiments, testing tbe
value if different fertilizers for corn, as bas
been done in tbe case of cotton.
Tbe practise of putting manure in mass
near the hill of com, we are 'compelled to
believe a bad one—a part may be placed
here to advantage, to give tbe yonng plant
a strong, vigorous start— the balance should
be applied broadcast, or perhaps pnt in tbe
furr w on each side of tl e corn, daring the
second working.
We wonld again also suggest the planting
of a portion of the crop with the seed of
some early variety of corn obtained from
the North—it may mature before the sum
mer droughts.
As soon as the corn crop is dbposed oi.
sorghum may be planted With the many
improvements discovered of late in manu
facturing syrapand sugar front tbb plant,
we doubt not it would pay Ihc-se living
where the tropical cane does not grow, to
make this one of their regular crops.
Daring March the bedding of cotton laud
and distribution of fertilizers sbpnld le
lushed ripidly forward, if not already done.
It b desirable, after iioauo, etc., hat been
placed in the ground and bedded an, todet
the bad remain undisturbed forborne three
or foqr weeks before planting. Tbe manure
should he placed pretty deep in tbe ground
that it may remain damp in dry weather.—
