THE GAZETTE. Wednesday, May 7,1873. *&m\ gntfUigcnce. Three railroad meetings held in Elberton yesterday. Jeiusalem! Now say Elbert ain’t a full-blown railroad couuty. The Railroad meeting at Mallorysville last Saturday was well attended, and the people quite enthusiastic at the idea of ex tending the Washington branch through Wilkes to Elberton. —-—* A meeting of the stockholders of the Elberton Air-Line Railroad Company will be held at Carnesville next Saturday, tor the purpose ot reorganization. The people of Franklin county mean business. They will soon have a railroad. Quite an animated meeting of those in favor of the extension on the Washington branch of the Georgia R. R- to Elberton, was held in the courthouse yesterday. The books were opened to receive stock, and quite a snug amount was taised. | t Full proceedings next week. —__ —~ Mirabile ’Dictu !—A party of young young geinlemen of Elberton went out on a serenade last week, with fiddles and “sicb, and, although out till the “wo sma’ hours,” surprising to say they returned to their homes without a sore head, a scald, or a withered forget-me-not. Under these cir cumstances they feel encouraged to buckle on their armor and make anothei venture. Tired of seeing the editoi of The GA ZETTE plodding the streets with a rusty hat perched upon his head, Mr. Henry 1-rank lb, one day last week, armed us into Har ry’s, and substituted for the old one a hat of polished surface and towering dimensions; As the displaced hat was also a present from the same generous hearted gentleman, we suppose he considers that we are a poor or phan boy, without either father or mother, and that it is his duty to keep us provided with a suitable head covering. With our uew stove-pipe on the ground and our left hand in the regions of our bread basket, we make Mr. Franklin our humblest obeisance. Candy Manufactory in Klberton. — In connection with the bakery recently put in operation here, Dr. .Edmunds has also es tablished a candy manufactory. The pro ductions of tiiis establishment, which we have critically examined, we have no hesi tatbtt 111-proaOTTTT-oinj .jail to- ntry trv hare ever seen, and from toddling inf ancy to the present day we have destroyed no small amount of the article. We wished Elbcr ton contained more citizens of as much en terprise as Dr. E , uud it there is a man in town who dcsei ves encouragement and suc cess^he is unquestionably the ode. The doctor is prepared to furnish caudy of every quality to reta'lers at moderate prices, aud as it is always wise to keep as much of our money at home as possible, we know our merchants will buy no more white-dirt candy, but get the pure article from him. —■ * Inforaiatlou. —The other day we heard a young gentleman say, “that he intended to commit suicide, aud that he would like to know of the latest and most* approved style.” There are several styles of commit ting sucide, but we think none ot them are approved, aud thinking as we do, that sui cide is'the “unpardonable sin,” we would suggest that he might obviate the little in couveuiencies of taking his own life, by finding out the club that broke out last Fri day night, aud filled the air with music, aid induce them by some means to call at his room about 2 o’clock a. m., and sing “Put me in my little bed.-” - If he survives this, he will live to be an old man, and “when old age comes on, and lus hair is turning gray," he will always remember the night ab one that gave him more pain than pleasure. ; --<%♦. ——r~' Two members of a London law firm, men of education and high positiou, have recent ly met a sad fate. One of them died of actua 1 starvation, and the pathetic account of the destitution and misery of his life ap peared in the Londou Times and was told so impressively that it attracted much at tention. A short time after his partner was arrested for stealing a book from the Inner Temple, and selling it tor ten shill ings. The proof was clear and he was convicted. Before receiving sentence he said : “I hare gone for weeks and months without a dinner, living upon bread and tea. I have sold the coat trom my buck, the shirt from my body, to supply daily wants j but I have been charged with dis honesty. I have|worked hard on the shelves of the luner Temple Library. There are books there of which lam the author. I have done all that mortal man could do to obtain an honest and honorable livelihood.” He closed his story by beggiug the court to punish him to the extent of'the law, hop ing “to find before his imprisonment should end in a felon’s grave the repose he had vainly sought in the pursuits oflife.” The judge imposed on him the lightest penalty of the law —six moDths’ imprisonment. — The song of a Briefless Barrister in a great city would tell as sad a tale as Hood’s “Song ol the Shirt.” “Paws for a reply,” as the cat said scratched the dog for barking at her. RAILROAD MEETING. At a meeting of the citizens of Elbert county, held may 6, 1873, the following gentlemen were selected to represent the county iu the meeting to be held in Augus ta, on the 12th inst., iu the interest of the proposed railroad from Chicago to Savan nah : E. 31. Rucker, T. A. Jones, J. P. Shannon. On m Mion they were empowered to select their alternate. Tiie Gazette was requested to publish these proceedings. On motion, the meeting adjourned sine die. Jas. A. Clark, Ch'm. J. P. Shannon, Sec’y. The Proposed Democratic Plat form. —The N. Y. World devotes a double leaded leader to a Free Trade Democratic plattorm, which is to be both aggressive aud uncompromising. Upon this it ex pects the Democratic par'y to stand. It de clares that “every citizeu who is unequivo cally for Free Trade is a good enough Democrat,” and that “no Protectionist can be a Democrat at all.” Following up this line it says: The political philosophy of which fre e trade is one outgrowth, i-cludes all that is fundamental in Democratic policy. Free trade rests upon the assumption that men are capable of taking care of themselves without government tutelage. Belief in Free Trade is the crucial test of the accep tance of Democratic principles, the very esseuce of Democracy lying in the capacity of men to govern and take care of them selves. Free trade declares that men do not need a paternal government to direct them how to employ their capital. Democracy does not need a paternal government to overrule their free choice in matters ot common in terest. Every intelligent free trader has necessarily accepted the fundamental tenet of Democracy. P ence, we repeat, with added emphasis, that every vigorous free trader is a good enough Democrat, and that no Protectionist can be anything more thau a sham Democrat—a bastard and not a sou. We are impatient to see the chaff winnowed out aud all the wheat brought together. - We stake all our hopes on making the De mocracy an out-and-out, thick-and-thin, aggressive (if you please, intolerant) Free Trade paity, subord n iiiitg all issues to this, *nd thereby drawing to itself all citizens who have a true appreciation of this great principle. Stockholders’ Meeting. —At a meet ing oi‘ the stockholder of the 35lberton Air- Litie Railroad Company, held on the 6th ot NT ay, Jas. A Clark iu-the chair, and J. P Shannon acting us secretary, it was — Resolved, That at the convention of stock holders of the company, to be held at uii "Saturday next,.we authorize and empower Ur. 1) A. "Ma Thews to Vote and in ail other ways to represent the inter ests of the stockholders of Elbert county; aud, further, Resolved, That in the reorganization of said company, Ur. D. A. Mathews is the choice of the stockholders of this county for President of the company. Meeting adjourned. J. A. Clark, Chairman. J. P. Shannon, Secy. For the Gazette.] Mr, Editor : For some time past, there has been considerable comment tn regard to the Fortson bridge, o;er Beaverduin, on the road leading from Klbti?(ou to.Ruckersville, and from all we can learn, the public lias justly become indignant at the manner in which it is being curried on, notwith slandiug the Grand Jury endorsed the ac- of the Couuty Judge at the last-MaroL term of the Superior Court.' At that time there-had been $750 paid out for work on this bridge, and according to the estimate of the County Judge, it would take about as much more to complete it. We are reliably informed that there has, jup to this time, been about $1,400 paid out by the Couuty Treasurer to the employees on this bridge, upon the order of the County Judge, and yet the work is not half completed. At this rate it will cost the county the very extravagant sum of $2,800, when we know that responsible parties would have taken the contract to build this bridge upon the same plan and specifications upon which it is to be constructed, for the sum of SI,OOO. and would, no doubt, have hud it completed long since, thereby saving the county SI,BOO. But the invincible judge, hav ing apparently unlimited confidence in his own skill as a bridge builder, refused to give the public a showing at it, who it seems, he thought were too hunyry for a coutract, and tcok the matter in his own hands. His success has fully, demonstra ted his capacity as a business man and fiuaucier. It is no doubt very pleasant to him to gratify his peculiar ideas and no tions in the management of couuty affairs, but it is rot so amusing to those who have to pay au unnecessary tax to gratify him in this way. lie has, contrary to general expec tation when he was first appointed, certainly exhibited an inferior capacity for the office he holds, so far as regards the management of county affairs, aud should he persist in the course be has hitherto pursued, we are eou fideut that a majority of the tax-payers of the county would be pleased to hear of his resignation. We have spoken our thoughts plainly, Mr. Editor, as we think any one interested has a right to do, and at the same time, without the least personal feeling against the Couuty Judge or any of his employees. Citizen. For the Gazette.) IS WHIPPING A CHILD THE BEST WAY TG MAKE IT OBEDIENT? In contemplating the characters cf our parents and their motives, we are struck with the general soundness of their princi ples, and the good intentions towards their children. But upon this important subject we believe the world to be in error. We acknowledge their kindness to us, their watchful care and solicitude for our good and happiness; and it is not their motives we attack, but their judgment. Upon a proper understanding and solution of this subject, depends the good of millions ot hu man beings, perhaps, yet to come, and the questions connected with it are of momen tous consideration to parents. Who can tell the amount of evil that may follow an act of this sort, though done through the purest of motives ? It might create in some child of a constitution peculiar, seeds of re sentment and revenge, which in after time would germinate, and bring fruit to the sorrow of the parent, and to the serious disturbance of the peace and good of so ciety. To make this subject clear, we lay down the proposition that whipping a child lias a bud effect. It does not tend to make him love and respect you, as most people are inclined to think ; on the contrary, it culti vates iu him a spirit of resentment, and in riper years he leaves you, perhaps never to return. You may create in him a kind of slavish fear, but you cau never arouse that feeling of grateful love and affection, which might he produced by kindness Can yoa make your dog love you by beating? Cer tainly not. Not comparing children to dogs, yet the same rule obtains with them. It is as impossible to make a child love you by inflicting on him severe punishment as it is for a horse to make you treat him well by kicking at you every time you pass him. Taking this matter into consideration, and looking back over the hundreds ot years that have elapsed since the creation; it is strange to say they used the rod so com monly, and they failed to receive that fiiiab love, which makes the wrinkled face of old age smile. But there are too many who love to re peat Solomou’s saying “spare the rod aud spoil the child.” It is admissablc where you with to excite no feeling but that of fear, but never when you desire to inspire love and obedience that is its offspring.— Can you make your child love you by giv; ing him severe paio ? The sober judgment answers, no! In viejv o£lhe striking failed by our own experience we may con clude that |to use the rod you’ll spoil the child. Little Boy. A Startling exposure. —ln another column, says the New York Sun, we print a letter from B. Waller Taylor, ‘of Kentucky, which exposes in detail the swindling schemes of one of the . most racully boards that have yet disgraced our Govern ment. Mr. Taylor speaks out boldly, stating that he weut to Washington with two pat ents for lile preservers, which he expected to have adopted by the Boatd ofSupervijf* ing Inspectors of Steamboats on their mer its. He soon found that merit cut no figure iu the case, and through a third party he entered into a bargain with several tueus bets of the Board to have his parents adopt ed by the Government. Afterwards the bribed members concluded that lucre mon ey, could be made by stealing Mr. Taylor’s patents and iudirectly taking the contracts themselves. Consequently Mr. Taylor was thrown overboard. From testimony since obtained by the detectives it appears that other parties had to pay largely to have their inventions adop ted by the board, one personj having paid SiOO,UOO. The inventions upon which this board was called to decide were many of them of apparatus to save human life iu ease ol acci dents to steamboats. They could have tri fled with uo more sacred trust, and they are morally responsible for every life that has been lost and every injury suffered in cunse queiicq of their adoption of worthless inven tions ter the sake of money. But higher officials, including the Pre- i dent and t art of his Cabinet, have been for some time cognizant ot the prafdtioe of this board; and yet inventions whosp adoptiilM is charged by, affidavits in the hands of the Treasury Department to by bribery ul%;still in use, and no effort has been made to ascertain the truth of the charges. The Louisiana Difficulties. —A let ter to the Baltimore Sun from Washington says : In the early part of last winter, when Gov. Warmoth applied to the Supreme’ Court for a writ of prohibition igainst the government set up in Louisuna by Judge Durreil, it was refused, and the court then stated that an appeal would lie to it. Sub sequently to this Judge Durrelt refused to allow an appeal. Afterwards it tras repeat edly said by leading Republicans iu Con gress that Judge Durrcll’s setting up of the Kellogg government was utterly (unauthor ized and illegal. as Congree did not remedy the injustice, aud the ,President sustained Kellogg, and Judge Durreil re fused to allow an appeal, and tht people of the State have been powerless shake off the rule so fastened upou ciemi In the hope of obtaining an opportunity for the people, to be heard, Mr. PhillipjPhillips, as counsel for the McEuery goverrincnt, has filed a brief iu the Supreme Court! calling its attention to the facts iu the We, and asking that the court entertain ii appeal from the decision of Judge Durrell, cr that it issue a mandamus compelling him to allow an appeal to be entered It is earnestly hoped that the Supreme Court will, on its re-assembling, grant the opportunity for a hearing of" t.ie merits of the case. Oouut ing on perfect impunity, ti e Kellogg gov ernment are now endeavoring to collect taxes by shutting up places of business, and sending the proprietors who refuse to pay to prison. Judge Durrell suppressed the New Orleans Times because of its strictures on his action, and uow lhe Kellogg tax col lector threatens to suppress the New Orleans Picayune if it does not pay a license tax levied upon it of over two thousand dollars within ten days. A Rice Famine. —East California pa pers give some fearful details of the distress caused by a failure of the rice crop in Java. The famine appears to be most severely felt at Denmark, near Suuiarang. Corpses of men and women, who have died of hun ger, are daily found on the roadside. It is no rarity to see persons lying along the roads exhausted and awaiting death. On two occasions it has happened that women have offered their children for sale to Euro peans. These women, as well as the chil dren, lock dismally thin, aud assign as a reason for their unnatural actions, the hope that the children, being with Europeans, would uot ‘die of hunger, which would otherwise be unavoidable. Drouth contin ues to prevail in several districts of Java.— In the Samarang Residency the paddy planting has twice failed in consequence. — At Denut rk, by last advices, some rain has fallen, and the poor people are plauting pad dy again with renewed hope. Attempt to Murder in Court. —Jas. Gallagher was one of the lodgers in the Newark Police Court at Newark yesterday, being put among the t thers on the charge of beigug a vagrant. During the morning he was put to cleansing out spittoons and re fused to do it. He finally consented, how ever, and did the work he was ordered to do. He was excessively overbearing in his manner to the guaidian of the prison.— When brought before Justice Lambert the prisoner.was informed that his sentence was three ntODihs in jail, Justice Lambert de livering tlo sentence of the court. When Gallagher was sentenced to this penalty he rushed at the keeper with a drawn knife, but the latter was too quick in his move ments, and then Gallagher sprang upon the Judge and endeavored to stab him. The Judge was oulyjust in time to parry the blow, and attempted to defend himself against the furious onslaught. At length the Judge was rescued, and the assailant was remanded to the cifs. During the scene the spectators in the court room were excited to the wildest degree.— N. Y. Her ald. ♦<=>*■ A Republican member of Congress as conspicuous for integrity as he is for inde pendence, says that in the last House there were between thirty and forty members who could be counted upon at all times to resist stealing, and that they were about equally divided between the two political fl’ir'i£s. This is e cncroging. If ’ten righteous men could have saved Sodom and Gomorrah, thirty oughtto be sufficient to iusure the safety of the American Gov ernment. • Judge Erskine has appointed the Hon. Amos T. Akerman the assignee in b vkrupt c, of Enoch Steadman, bankrupt. His as sets are said to amount to about oue hun dred and forty thousand dollars, so that the appointment is evidently a fat one for the ex-Attorney General. The purest and sweetest Cod Liver Oil isTTnz ard k Caswell’s, made on the sea shore, from selected livers, by Caswell, Hazard & Cos., New York It is absolutely pure and sweet. Pa tients who have once taken it prefer it to all others. Physicians have decided it superior to any of the other oils in market, “PAIN KILLCR.” There can be no necessity, at this late day, for the press to speak iu commendatory terms of this remarkable medicine in order to promote its sale, for it is a me’icine that is known and apprecia ted the wide world through. Whenever we speak of the Pain Killer, as iu the present instance, we do so iu behalf of the afflicted, rather than with the view of advancing the interests of ihe pro prietors. diseases, such as rheu matism, cholera, c|olet;a-morbu3, burns, sprains ; bruises, and so oiff'ib the end of the catalogue, we are convinced that there is no remedy before the people equal to Davis’ Vegctable“Pain Kill-' er,” and we know that thousands upon thous ands entertain the same belief. Certainly we cannot refer to the history of any medicine vhich equals that of the Pain was in troduced in 1840, and from that time to this its gale, both at home and abroad, has constantly and rapidly inci*en.sed,and we rejoice at the high reputation it has achieved, because this reputa tion shows that it has been the means of relieving a vast amount of human suffering We hope the present oprietor3 of Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer will live to enjoy the prosperity they have so fairly won.—ap!6-6t THE MARKETS.
