THE GAZETTE. Wednesday, February 9,1876. filiH WAfciiiiiSta'i’OA LEAFER. FfICM cm REGULAR CItB£SPONDENT. How the Centennial Appropriations was Car EOT — A Peculiar Sort of ‘•Speeches”— The Postage ox Tran sient Newspapers Reduced —What is Comixg—Story of John Randolph. After ft discussion more protracted and ex haustive than profitable or entertaining a vote on the Centennial appropriation was finally reached in the House on Tuesday, and it passed. The snrnll majority of sixteen votes in its favor was good deal less titan its friends thought pos sible two weeks previous, but not less than close observers estimated near the close of the debate. In fact, for three or lour days previous to the vole there wa- a strong probability or its defeat, and it is without doubt true that the eloquent speeches of Mr. Lamar, and Mr. Jones, of Kentucky, at the last moment, saved the bill from that fate. At one time it appeared that the Democrats would be nearly rolid against it, and it was only through the efforts and argu ments of such men as Lamar that a division was made in their ranks. The Democratic members, especially those from the South, were peculiarly situated with reference to this ques tion. Jt did not look consisont for the majority side of the House, which had ieaagnrated such radical and sweeping measures of retrenchment, extending even to clerks in the Departments, to .join ia voting a million and a half of dollars to a private corporation which was really able to take care of itself. Those who had looked into the matter were satisfied that'this appropriation was partially a gratuity to an association of in dividuals who expected to make a good deal of capital and moneyf cut of the enterprise. It was for these reasons, and the belief that Con gress had no constitutional authority to appro priate money for such a purpose, that 106 Dem ocrats voted in the negative. But the issue of patriotism liad been raised, and people all over the country really believed that national pride and national honor was involved. The Repub lican side of the House almost solidly support ing the hill ostensibly on these grounds, and many southern Democrats, anxious to give some tangible manifestation of their patriotism, and to take another step in the direction ®f re concilitions of a large majority of their political associates. Its success, therefore, may be cor rectly termed a triumph of sentimental patriot ism. The Pennsylvania delegation voted no, and no doubt Mr. Randall, himself, who was its ar dent advocate, would have opposed the measure but for the overwhelm ng local pres-ure. he amendment secured by Mr. Springer providing that if any pro|ij,j> tu-cyne from the exhibition the amount of the appropriation .should be re ■uufnecl to the Government before doctoring a tfMclend to the stockholders ja a good thing, and it only remains to be seen what methods* the managers will employ to evade this provis ion. From pre?ent indications there can be no doubt that the profits will be enormous. Since the passage of the bill a technical error lias ILten discovered which may necese late an jgpmci'duKmt in the ftepato, end' a return to the Boujtfklor conctlrreiict!. If this transpires 1 VvuPRS 6 foe prediction ihai a second trial results in the defeat. The powerful lobby headed by ex-Governor Bigler, of Pennsylvania, and ex . Governor Joe Hawley, of Connecticut, has now turned its attention io the rie.iate. Their work in the House was well done, for without their efforts the appropriation would riot have stood a ghost of a chance, or had there been one-hall the work in opposition to them, all their press ure and the $20,000 spree would have gone tor naught. Some foity speeches were made during the discussion, and sevetal more not made were printed, by leave, in the Iticord. Of all the nauseating literature ever set be ore an inno cent reader, the copies of the Congressional dnny, containing half a dozen or so each ot this latter class ot “speeches,” are the in .st disgust ing. Now and then an asj n-ing noodle with more brass than brains will get into Congress. Of cou.se, such fellows could no more make a I'speeeh than a hog could climb a tree, but they take advantage of the discussions to get leave to “heave in a few remarks,” or, in other words, have something printed in Hie Record which they can palm off upon their unsuspect ing constituents as a speech. Occasionally one of them will display uncommon shrewdness by employing some obscure journalist to write him an eloqent appeal, but the majority ars satisfied with anything so it is in print with their name attached, and they insert under the guise of a “speech” a few paragraphs ot senseless twaddle. But such is fame. The much needed change in the law relating to newspaper postage is now nearly accom plished. The House lias already passed the bill restoring the old rates on thiru-eia.-s matter, and it will undoubtedly promptly pass the Sen ate. It repeals a portion of the act of last year, and provides that postage at the rate of one cent tor two ounces shall be charged on news papers, and tin t packages not exceeding foot pounds in weight maybe sent through the mails :it the same rate. The law in effect for a 3-ea. past was an outrage. Here are two facts illus trating its beauties: The postage on the quadru ple sheet of the New York Herald is eight cents The original cost of this sheet in New York is four cents, or just one-half the transient rate ot postage. The express charges on ten numbers of the National Quarterly Review from Ntw York to Washington is forty cents. The United States postage is fifteen cents pet number, or $1 50 fjr ten numbers; that is, sl.lO more than the express companies charge. A clear case of tax on knowledge amounting to prohibition The act passed for the benefit ot the express companies. Mr. Garfield stated on the floor of the House that the legislation on this subject in the last Cpngtess originated in the Post Office Department, in a letter from the Postmaster General to Senator Ramsey, recommending an increase of the postage on merchandise, and the amendment was supposed to embody that idea. Supposing and understanding that it only cov ered merchandise, it was passed; but i was subsequently discovered that it covered news papers and transient, matter. Mr Garfield might have added that if this was all a mistake it was a little strange that the express compa nies lobbied for the increased rate. Postmaster General Jewell is opposed to the present reduc tion ou the ground that t: e department was not self-sustaining. While on this subject, it may be stated that this department opens up one of the best possible fields for investigation. Recent discoveries of contract frauds have been made in which several clerks in the department arc implicated, and the existence of false seals, etc., i3 proven. Nobody accuses lir, Jewell of nr g ularities, but lie has not the nerve to ptobo the abuses known to exist. In my next letter I can give a pretty definite review of the succo-s and extent o. the retreuen ment labors of the’Oonmiittee on Appropriations, together with some idea of the developments a rising from investigations now in progress. The Committee on Rxpe ditures of the various Departments have heretofore been purely orna mental It would be dificult to show that one ftf them ever did anything in past years; but Hie promise to be heard from tins time quite un- SThcre is already a fiat ering in a good mmy quarti rs. The Department of 3ta e is reported to be in a cave of gloom, and the Department of justice is on the ragged edg e It is significant of the rumors of rottenness that have always circulated regarding the Bureau of Justice, that the Committee on Expenditures therein found the investigation too great to be t oroughp, accomplished without re-ecfoice* nients, and therefore irked that their number* might be increased, which was done. At the reception given the Indiana editors hero last „eek Senator McDonald created a laugh by introducing ex-Senator Pratt as his predecessor whose seat he had “neverjattenipted to fid.” The point to .this is Mr. Pratt’s remark able size, it having been necessary to order a chair expressly tor him when he took his place in the Senate. This reminds me of a good story of John Randolph’s satire. It has no applica tion to Messrs McDonald and Pratt personally, but will bear relating, even if your readers have heard it before. When Mr. Randolph was in the United Slate Senate, Mr. Macon, the celebrated Senator front North Carolina, died, after whom so many counties artd towns have been named. Mr. Macon was the most, trusted and intimate friend of Mr. Randolph, and they usually voted ad acted together. When Mr. Macon’s successor took his seat in the Senate he tried hard to cul tivate the acquaintance of Mr. Randolph, but from some cause the ecceiuric gentleman from Virginia did not relish the advances of the new Senator and kept aloof. Nettled al Mr. Ran dolph’s coldness, he was one day tempted, diet ing debate, inlo a bitter personal attack upon Mr. Randolph. Haudclpu, who usually was prompt and ready to resent all attacks, to the astoni-hnent of his friends, remained quiet and silent under the attack until long atter ; but or.e day he had occasion to quote from Mr. Macon, and he said : ‘-These were the words and opinions of that great man, Mr. Macon,' 7 and j ointing with his long, skeleton fingr directly into the face of Mr. Macon’s successor, he added, with a look of inimitable sarcasm, “whose seat, I am sorry to say, is now vac mt — vacant—vacant.” It was enough ; the Senators saw the point, Randolph was avenged, and Macon’s successor was nobody. CROOKED WHISKEY, McKee’s conviction has increased the apprehensions of Babcock s friends. The refusal of new trials at Indiana polis lias caused dismay ir. Avery’s little circle. Gen. Banks is quoted as saying that Bristow, in bringing about these results, is stabbing the Republi can party. Babi ock, with his witnesses, are noti fied to appear in court Monday, at Indianapolis. Replying to prisoners who plead wounds in extenuation and for modi fication of sentence, and for faithful service in the army, etc, Judge Gresham admitted the unpleasantness of the duty, but could not allow sym pathy to make him forget crime. They had committed, he knew, a decided contract between the officers of the Government and the distillers. The former are trusted servants in the pay of the United States, while the latter are not trusted but watched by Gov ernment officials. Therefore, the for mer ought to have increased punish mon t. He then announced that those officers who had betrayed their tiust "should have two years in either of the peitcutLiuon they might prefer and * pay a fine of 81,000 each- Then followed the case of Jus.lL Hill. Deputy Revenue. Collec tor. liijl protested his -innocence’ be fore God and the, world. TANARUS; e Judge, in sentencing him three years in the penitentiary and SI,OOO remarked, that his ( lime was of deeper dye be cause of his high position in the Gov ernment service. In passing the sen ter.ee of those who had been laborers about a distillery, the Judge remarked the difference between their crime and that of Government officers, and gave them three months in the Gibson county jail and SSOO fine, with the ex ception af Thomass J..Bobb, distiller, who he gave one y ear in jail. ♦<££* V J. Clancy Dempster, of San Francisco, has chivalrous regard for tho other sex. He saw a woman in the street surround ed by drunken loafers, who had fright ened her into tits. He drew a revolver and a ltnife, went to her rescue, shot one fellow, stabbed two, and boro her triumphantly away in his arms. A plucky woman is Mrs. McKecn of Belfast, Ale. Her husband, who com manded a Philadelphia vessel, dying on the voyage to Genoa, she assumed com mand, put in at Fayal and procured a metallic coffin, in which she placed the remains, continued in command to Genoa, and attended to disposing of the cargo. +<£>+ It v.i'l no doubt be gratifying to the pleasure seekers and amusement lovers of Elbert and adjoining counties to know that (he Eiberton Minstrels will give another one of their big shows on the nights Of the 10th, 11th and 14th of Ma eh.

We understand it is building a lodge which ’s also to be us cd as a school houso. It is being built near the residence of Messrs. Scales. The citizens are making efforts to have a largo school there the present year, which will be under the monagement of Miss Mollie Goss. Our Cemetery. The Town Council has determined on having our large and beautiful burying ground laid off - in lots with streets and walks—a portion of the lots to be’ftee, some for white and some for colored people, the remaining lots to be sold, “and the proceeds applied to improve ment of the grounds. One of oldest cit izens has been talking about the plum for years, and is very pleased' with tile idea, as he sayfrhelnwaye was par ticular who he slept with and under the old plan’of burying he might be ‘chug ged down by the side of a vagabond and catch the itch from him. Wild Turkey. Last week a young man in this place hearing the gobble of a wild turkey (?) inside the incorporation, was overjoyed by the sound. He ran to the spot im mediately and shot the turkey, and gave it to a friend who made a turkey dinner the next day. All who were so fortunate as to be on hand pronounced the meat excellent. The Hartwellites began to rub up their fire arms as they knew not at what time there might be an attack made on the place by wild turkeys. All was “nipped in the bud,” however, by Mr. Bobo’s announcing that it was his be lief that the turkey killed had just es caped his coop at the hotel. Grave Subject, Dr. W. A. Skelton has a patent for tombstones and put up a handsome one as a sample in Benson & Co’s, cotton yard. There is a man seeking employ ment about town who looks like there never was a drop of red blood in him who laid down on the piazza that opens in the cotton yard, and went to sleep. Our genial tax assessor was standing by him leaning on his crutch looking very serious and sorrowful, called to old Ben son, and said, “Here is a corpse on the piazza.” Old B. said he was glad to hear it, as he had been looking for one for some time to plant behind Bill Skel ton’s tombstone; told the boys to hoist him, and they had just laid hold of him when a mischievous boy stuck a pin in him and he opened his eyes and scratch ed his head, and said he bleeved he had been asleep, and so escaped a premature burial. --— Richmond (Ya.) Guide: January 17 was the nineteenth anniversary of the falling of the deepest snow ever known in this section. The depth was four or five feet on a dead level. The same night a number of brick houses on Franklin, between 17th and 18th streets, were set on fire and burned. Locomo tion for man, beast or railroad car was nearly entirely suspended hereabouts. Several persons were frozen to death in this city, and some severly frost bitten. The same thing happened in many instances in the surrounding country. Much suffering was entailed on the poor and others here and elsewhere. Huge banks of snow remained piled up in the streets of Richmond for several months. |);trt Couutg BOOT AND SHOE MAKER HARTWELL, GA.
