Who is to Blame ?
Section 92 of the Cos te of Georgia de
dares the duty of the State Treasurer
to be, to receive and keep safely all the
money paid to him in behalf of the
State, and to pay out the same only up
'on the warrants of the Governor, when
-countersigned by the Comptroller, except
ing the drafts of the President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House for
sums due the members and officers of
their respective bodies.
In the cry about Jones’ payment of
bonds of the State the second time we
have never heard or seen the assertion
made that he paid them without the Gov
ernor’s warrant.
Let the investigating committee give
all the facts in the case, and not a one
sided report. Let’s have a slight falling
of the heavens if that process is necessa
ry to secure the doing of justice.
Our Neighbors,
Cotton is occasionally stolen over in
Abbeville, and only occasionly recovered.
The groat unbleached have their way
over there largely.
Mr. Trowbridge, of Abbeville, has a
fowl which is a cross between a guinea
and a chicken, which he considers a foul
blot on fowls in general.
Martha Logan, of Diamond Hill, Ab
beville, don’t believe in haviog trouble
some brats around. She made way with
one ten days old, and now they want to
go to law with her about it.
Abbeville niggers will steal horses.
Sam Marshall is in that business.
Mrs. Preston Allen died at Lowndes
ville on the 18th of congestive chill.
Carnesville Register : O. C. Wiley had
his foot badly injured by being caught
between a stump and wagon-wheel.
Carnesville young people celebrated
the anniversary of St. Valentine by a
valentine drawing.
The Register is a bright, spicy paper,
and deserves better encouragement than
we expect it is receiving.

Collard Greens in Heaven.
An enthusiastic old cdored brother,
recited in the hearing of his fellow mor
tals in church in Elbert one Sunday, a
visit he was permitted to make to heav -
en while in a sleep or trance. His de
scription of its beauties was most at
tractive, but when he got to where the
good Lord invited him to dinner, every
ear was expanded to catch each word.
“Dare was de most good tings—collard
greens and ham, and wheat bread, and
setch lots ob cake and sweet tings.”
The old gray-headed negro who filled
the office of pastor listened quietly to
the dreamer’s description, and after he
concluded his harangue, arose and asked
him—
“ You say, my brudder, dere was lots
ob cake and good tings on dat table V'
“Yes, sail!”
“Dat dere was wheat bread and ham
dere, too?”
“Yes sah!”
“I have no doubt of it, my brudder.
De good massa in heaben keep a mighty
good table, on which you will find all
dese tings and more, but, my brudder
you’s de fust one ever sat down to dat
tablo and found collard greens on it!”
Unlimited Remedial Resources. —People
sometimes suppose that Dr. Pierce’s Family
Medicine represent the entire extent of his re
sources lor curing disease. Timisan error. Ex
perience proved that while the Golden Medical
Discovery, Favorite Prescription, Pleasant Pur
gative Pellets, Compound Extract of femart-
YVeed, and Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy, would,
if faithfully used, cure a large variety of chronic
complaints, there would be here and there a
case which, from its severity, or from its com
plication with other disorders, would resist their
action. These exceptional cases required a
thorough examination into their symptoms, to
ascertain the exact nature and extent of the dis
ease or diseases under which the patient was
laboring, and the use of specific remedies to
meet and overcome the same. This led to the
establishment of the World’s Dispensary, at
Buffalo, N. Y., with its Faculty of Physicians
and Surgeons, each of whom is skilled in the
treatment of chronic disorders in general and
those belonging to bis own special department
in particular. To one is assigned diseases of
(the throat and lungs; to another, disease of the
kidneys and uropenital organs ; to another, dis
eases of the digestive system; toonother, diseases
of the nervous system ; and to another, diseases
of the eye and ear. Thus the highest degree of'
perfection in medicine end surgery is attained.
The establishment of this institution enables the
Doctor to meet a long felt war t in the treatment
of the more severe chronic affections. By a
careful consideration of the symptoms as given
in writting, he successfully treats thousands of
cases at their homes. Others visit the Dispen
sary In person. The amplest resources for the
treatment of lingering affections are thus placed
at the disposal of every patient, and those on
whom the proprietary medicines do not havjthe
desired effect can procure a more thorough and
efficient course by a personal application to the
proprietor of the World’s Dispensary.
Gratuitous Advice.
This species of advice is not always accepta
; ble, but doubtless in many instances much ben
, efit would be derived were it promptly acted
, upon. No section of the country is exempt from
, disease and many regions has its “ills that flesh
,is heir to.” To know the best means of com
i bating this common enemy, with the least injury
to our pockets and tastes, is certainly a great
advantage. At this season we must expect Tor
v pid Liver, congested spleen, vitiated bile and in
‘ active bowels, and prudent persons should sup
. ply themselves with Tutt’s Liver Pills, which
, v {Will stimulate the liver, relieve the engorged
...qpleen, determine a healthy flow of bile, thus
, regulating the bowels and causing all unhealthy
, secretions to pass off in a natural manner, Re
member that “an ounce of preventive is worth
, more than a pound of cure.” 2t.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER^
•FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
The “True Inwardness” of the Pinch
back Case—Some of the Ways that
are Dark in Louisiana and in Wash
ington—The Coming Financial Policy.
The public have long since heard enough of
the Pinchback case, yet it still remains among
the live issues here, and is one of the most
prominent illustrations of the mixed condition
of things in the Republican par,ty. There is no
dodging the fact that the party is in a terrible
bad way. The whiskey-ring complications and
other developments, together with personal am
bitions of rival Presidential aspirants, combine
to create a state of utter demoralization. A
lew days ago Senator Morton was anxious to
have g vote on Pinchback’s admission, and at
any time until within a week he would have
been sure of a majority in his favor, but just
now anew face has been put upon the matter,
and consideration of it has been postponed.
The political necessity is just as great row as
ever, but the Republicans are afraid to trust
Pinchback, and they don’t want to vote for a
man who is so distateful, and who has no earthly
right to a seat, simply to give him an oppoitun
ity to betray them. There is every indication
of a considerable revolt among the colored
voters all over the South now that the insincer
ity of Republican leaders has begun to dau n
upon their visions. The speech 'of Senator
Bruce in executive sesbion, that of Represecta
tive Lynch in the House, and the late letter of
Representative Haralson, of Alabama, all point
to that end. Here is a quotation from Haral
son’s letter : “Is it not better for us in general,
especially in the South, that there be goad feel
ing between both white and black ? Is it not
better that the leading colored men take this
thing in baud and build up our race, build up
our paity upon the true principles of right
and justice, of republicanism, and drive those
who are striving to ride into office on prejudice
into the blackest political hell ?”
Thus it seems that the leading colored men
have resolved that they will no longer be the
poltical slaves of the Republican party, and that
henceforth their vote cannot he depended upon
in the South, nor even in the North, where, in
the event of a close vote, it would be important
both in New York and Pennsylvania. The Re
publican leaders are balked at this, and having
no faith in Pinchback personally they conclude
to wait. If a vote were taken now his rejection
would create a vacancy which t! e Democratic
legislature now in session would have the right
to fill. Their programme is ts defer action un
til the legislature adjourns, and then Governor
Kellogg can appoint brother-in-law Casey, or
some other true-blue scalawag.
Pinchback, aware of the status of his case,
threatens to resign at once, and let the legisla
ture elect a Senator.
Up in the heels of all this comes rumors of
trouble in Louisiana. The State Senate, which
is Republican by one or two majority, through
the grace of the Wheeler compromise, has, in
violation of that compromise, and under instruc
tions from Morton, voted to perpetuate the re
turning board iniquity. By this means the
Governor and his returning board can repeat
the outrage of 1872, and defeat the will of the
people. Without a shadow of doubt this pro
gramme was intended to stir up trouble in Lou
isiana, and fire the Northern heart once more.
Mr. Wheeler, of New York, whose honest labors
to "conciliate the difficulties of Louisiana will
be remembered, recently said: “Asa friend of
the South I would regret from the bottom of my
heart a renewal of troubles in Louisiana. The
people there are so easily aroused that no one
can tell when a firebrand may again rekindle
the old trouble. I trust it will never again oc
cur; yet, for political reasons, or for partisan
results, it cannot happen too soon for the Re
publican party.” Democratic Senators and
Representatives have written to leading men in
New Orleans, and all over the State, warning
them of the trap, and urging them upon no
provocation to permit their people to be drawn
into it, thus subjecting the State to further op
pression by the Administration. They are
admonished that moderation and forbearance
will disarm the Republicans of the last claim
they have to remain in power ; that the Missis
sippi resolution of Morton is dead; and when
Louisiana has her full representation in the
Senate it will be by two Democratic Seuatori.
How little the general public realize to what
extent personal schemes, and wheels within
wheels, control the affairs of State. How little
they see and understand of the real influences
that combine to determine political action ; or
how little do they know what infinitesimal
weight public interests have with those who
have been constituted the gardians thereof.
What is it to Senator Morton that a great wrong
to the State of Louisiana is perpetrated if only
he can secure a temporary personal or partisan
advantage ? And what is the position of Mr.
carpet bagger West on this question ? It is cer
tain that the State of Louisiana is entitled to a
full Senatorial representation, and that for sev
eral years Mr. West’s has been the only vote
cast in the Senate from that State. Mr. Pinch
back is either (he Senator or he is not the Sen
ator, and it is due to the State he assumes to
represent that the Senate should decide which
of these positions is correct. Mr. West, for
reasons best known to himself, is in reality op
posed to Mr. Pinchback’s admission. He prefers
to be the sole representative ot Louisiana on
the floor of the Senate, and to control all of the
patronage. He is, therefore, secretly in favor
of postponing consideration of the case. Were
these the kind of statesmen we had one hundred
years ago ?
Upon the financial question it has been con
stantly asserted that the Democrats in this Con
gress were hopelessly divided as to a policy, but
recent developments indicated that there is quite
as much unity in Democratic councils as on the
other side ot the house. Neither party could at
this time be committed to radical measures.—
The interests and requirements of the whole
country must be taken into consideration in any
national policy. Mr. Blaine’s late speech has
produced no effect, because it advocated no
plan, or suggested no remedy for any of the evils
complained of The repeal of the Resumption
act of 1875 is already assured, and the apparent
delay is caused simply by the fact that the lead
ers are unwilling to repeal the existing law be
fore a sound currency bill to take the place of
the present law has been fully agreed upon. It
is probable that the bill which will be agreed
upon will be Couservative in tone, seeking first
to take steady steps toward resumption, and
second, not to take them faster than the senti
ment and the best interests of the country will
permit. The sound features of Mr. Payne's bill
providing for an accumulation of gold first and
a complete resumption when the amount of that
accumulation shall aggregate a certain per cent,
of the whole debt, may be exbected to be the
main features of the bill which the Democrats
w II try lo make a Jaw if the Republicans of the
Senate will assist.
In the matter of contested seats, too, the
Democratic House puts to shame its predeces ■
sors. Manya Democrat has been unseated upon
worse evidence than that which Mr. Bromberg,
a white man, presented to sustain his claim to
the seat ot Haralson, colored Republican of Ala
bama, but the Democratic committee reported in
favor of theJßepublican, and he retains his seat.
The President signed the Centennial bill on
Wednesday, with a peu mado of a quill from an
eagle’s wmg. i

Hartwell Sabbath School.
The Sabbath school in this place, we
are glad to say, is in a flourishing condi

New Way to Write a Deed!
A justice of peace in this county be
ing called upon by a neighbor to write
a deed for him, commenced, “Know one
woman by these presents.” The man
said, “ ’Squire that aint the usual way
of starting off.” “No,” said the ’squire,
“but if one woman knows it all men
soon will know it.” The explanation
was satisfactory.
Another New Building,
Mr. J. B. Benson has made a contract
to have another dwelling house built
just .across the street from Maj J. H.
Skelton, near the one lately erected.
The lumber is now on the ground. This
will also be to rent. That’s right; help
supply the demand by furnishing neat
and com foi table houses.
Prayer Meeting.
These weekly meetings are still kept
up —meet Wednesday nights in the M.

resulted from them. They are not as

Hope the people in and around the plaqg
will show more interest and make a
crowded house every Weduesday night
by their attendance.
