VALEDICTORY,
Good-bye at all limes and under al
most any circumstances is a sad word to
speak, and in uttering it now to the read
ers of the Courier I find its peculiar
force. My connection with the Courier,
with its genial proprietor and with its
readers has been so pleasant that I leave
it with extreme regret. Had the busi
ness of the office justified my reten
tion I should have remained at my post,
but newspaper, more than any other busi
ness, has suffered from the contraction of
the times. This contraction necessitates
a contraction of expenses, and yielding to
the necessity I retire, leaving behind me
nothing but kindly feelings towards the
paper, its proprietor and my successor,
who will more than compensate my loss.

By reference to the legislative proceed-

Mr. Moody promulges the following
gratifying statement:
“ I am glad xo announce to the Chris

We invite the attention of our readers
to the letter of Hon. Nelson Tift on the
subject of granting a subsidy to a
steamship cempany to encourage immi
gration and direct trade. We trust that
its length will not deter any one from
reading it, as it deals in a direct manner
with a subject that is susceptible of being
clothed in the most inviting sophistry.
Mr. Tift strips the proposition stark-
, „ and by the
, , - - exercise of the latter we are able to ap-
naked and exposes a mercenary humbug. ( r P e ^ r a 3 wise as owls and as harmless as
lateral issue. The president. theSenate
the House and the people of Louisiana
have with more or less distrust and
luctance, recognized Kellogg, as gover
nor, and McEnery’s certificate to the
Tilden returns is simply the certificate
of a citizen of the State, and without
the semblance cf legal authority. But
to count the vote of Louisiana for
Hayes involves the strict legal integ
rity of the return by the board, and
who will pretend that it .can be so
judicially declared ? If done at all, it
must be done by some'legal estoppal
that only a court could define, for,
with a tracejof equity or justice to fol
low the law, there could be no such
judgment. W e regard Louisiana as
the embodiment of the great dispute,
and if it can be counted for Hayes it
would Jpe a waste of lime to quibble
about j? iorida an d Oregon.”
The ways of Providence, though often
mysterious and past finding out, are un
doubtedly always wise. We, last Sunday,
met Hon. Jno. R. Freeman, who was
in the city. He states that most
of the irrepressible speakers among
the “ assembled wisdom of the State,”
had been so hoarse for several days as not
te be able to speak above a whisper.

The recent decision of Judge Carpen

We publish by request and as a matter
of justice to tlie Legislative committee
appointed to visit and inspect the Deaf
and Dumb Institute at Cave Spring, the
reply of Senator Perry to the criticism
of their report. The report itself was
very damaging to the administration of
the Institute, and the statement of Sena
tor Perry puts it in a still worse light.
We regret that an institution in our
midst and of which our county was in
clined to be proud, should be brought un
der such a muddy cloud.

The Rome Courier says of the four
members of Congress from Alabama and
one from Georgia—Mr. Smith, of the
Second District—whe voted against the
Electoral Bill: “ These are all naturally
very small men hut they never before
showed so conspicuously small as when they
hold themselves against such men as Thur
man, Bayard, Payne, Randall, Hill and
Lamar.” We think our esteemed con
temporary is entirely too severe upon the
members who voted against the bill.
Their votes were undoubtedly influenced
by conscientions convictions and not a
spirit of antagonism to Democratic lead
ers. Instead of condemning their act
we should rather admire the pluck which
caused them to go into the ranks of the
minority because they believed the ma
jority to he wrong. „
We never for one moment doubted the
conscientious motives of the gentlemen,
but it was their fiebleness of judgment we
objected to.

FLOORED BUT NOT WHIPPED.
The Florida case was considered yes.
terday in the Electoral Commission and
the vote was declared for Hayes by a
strict party vote—8 Republicans against
7 Democrats:
The contest in the Louisiana case
will he over the legality of the returning
board itself. It will be claimed that
there has been no canvass of the votes
and that no electors have been appointed.
On this point, the Philadelphia Times,
Republican, Bays:
“We regard it as entirely unwarrant
ed, also, to assume that the decission of
the Florida case, if favorable to Hayes
will in any measure narrow the injury
foreshadow the decision as to the
Louisiana vote. Of course the rejec
tion of the vote of Florida, or counting
it for Tilden, would dismiss Hayes,
from the contest; but, assumming that
it shall be counted for Hayes, the Lou
isiana case bristles with legal issues
which fairly present themselves to the
commission for determination. Florida
is not entirely free from doubt, even on
the face of the returns, for their rag
gedness and irregularities deform
the records of nearly every county; but
in Louisiana there is no dispute as to
the face of the returns, and the majority
is so large that there must be the most
absolute mandate of a justly adminis
tered law to warrant their reversal.
We do not see any way clear for the
electorial tribunal to count the vote of
Louisiana for Tilden, but it would
seem to be J a legal impossibility to
count it for Hayes. Hayes has a false
and fraudulent return—a return that is
rottenjwith both legal and actual fraud
and Tilden lias no return at all that
can avail iu this proceeding. A
certificate signed by Mr. McEnery as
governor, and lacking all the formali
ties demanded by the law, can not be
vitalized into a legal return. McEnery
was doubtless ^elected governor of Lou
isiana, but that question has long since
ceased to be a dispute, that a judicial
ribunal could take notice of in a col-
His friends become alarmed, deeming
it the expression of a suicidal wish on his
part.
The judicial minds of the High
Jointers seem to have a new reading of
the old proverb, fiat jxisticia mat coelum,
making it “ Fie! atjusticia mat coelum.”
One effect of the Great High Joint’s
decision will, from present indications, be
the formation of anew party—the Great,

Col. John W. Wofford, of Cartcrsville,
with his family, left the other day for
Kansas City, Mo. Says the Atlanta
Constitution: There are numberless
rumors afloat in and about Cartersville,
relating to hi3 private affairs and the
causes of his departure, but those who
have a right to condemn him are yet
charitable enough to say that they do
not believe them all true. Professional
bad conduct is charged against Col.
Wofford, because of the fact stated that
he has made collections for clients in
many cases, and wholly failed to ren
der any account for the same or turn it
over to those to whom it rightfully be
longed. The sums thus alleged to have
been withheld are variously stated from
$5,000 to 810,000. In this connection
it is stated that a sum. of $1 500 was
collected for the Western and Atlantic
railroad company, which is yet to be
accounted for. Gov. Brown was
swamped also, it is said, personally, as
security upon a note of Col. Wofford’s
for an amount in the neighborhood oi
$4,700. Gov. Brown is said to be very
much chagrined in the manner in
which Col. Wofford has treated him,
and we were told last night it was preft
ty certain that Gov. Brown would ask
a requisition upon Governor of Mis
souri for the return of CpL Wofford to
this State to answer a prosecution.

When a candidate for high office is
so well liked and so popular with the
masses as to make his defeat difficult
in j} fair and honorable fight, mean and
cowardly men are not wanting who de
light in manufacturing lies and slander
ing his good name. There are also
those whose selfishness prompt them to
prostitute their honor, pervert truth,
and ignore right, for the sake of in
juring a competitor in business, whose
prosperity they envy, and jvith whose
business sagacity they have not the tal
ent to successfully compete in an hon-
able way. These thoughts are sug
gested by the mean, cowardly attacks
made upon me and my medicines, by
those who imagine their pecuniary
lnjUred ky ; the sreat popular-
lty which my standard medicines have
acquired, and the continued growth of
SUE*"?* Practice. Narrow
minded practitioners of medicine and
manufacturers of preparations which do
not possess sufficient merit to success
fully compete for popular favor, have
resorted to cowardly strategy as to pub
lish all sorts of rediculous reports
about the composition of my medicines.
Almanacs, “Receipt Books” and other
pamphlets, are issued and scattered
broadcast over the land, wherein these
contemptible knaves publish pretended
analyses of my medicines, and receipts
lor making them. Some of these pub
lications are given high-sounding names
pretend to be issued by respectable
men of education and position, for the
good of the people—the more complete-
fy to blind the reader to the real object
in their circulation, which is to injure
i f n 0 .? medicines. “The Pop
ular Health Almanac” is the hien-
sounding name of one of these publi-
cations, which contains bogus receipts
without a grain of truth in them. Not
less devoid of truth arc those which
have been published by one Dr. L. of
Detroit, in the Michigan Parmer, and’ by-
other manufacturers of medicines, in
several so-called journals of Pbarmucy
Jhfy are . all Prompted by jealousy
and utterly fail m accomplishing the
object of their authors, for, notwith
standing their free circulation, rnv
medicines continue to sell more largely
than any others manufactured in this
country and are constantly increasing
in sale despite the base lies concocted
and circulated by such knaves. The
people find that these medicines pos
sess genuine merit, accomplish what
Iheir manufacturer claims for them
and are not the vile, poisonous nostrum?
which jealous, narrow-minded physi
cians and sneaking compounders of
competing medicines represent them
to be. Among the large number ol
pretended analyses published, it is a
stguijicant fact that no two have been
at all alike—conclusively proving the
dishonesty of their authors. It is
