THE GAZETTE. c Wednesday, March 1,1876, 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. * ♦O*- 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.

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 HART COUNTY DEPARTMENT. BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Owing to the return of C. W. Seidell Esq., your regular correspondant for this county, our position as correspond ant pro tem is put to an end. Notwithstand our short experience we think we give up the position wiser and with a deeper sympathy for all sorts of “newspaper folk,” no matter what their position. We tender Messrs. A. G. McCurry and J. B. Benson our thanks for kiad assistance in getting up of the weekly locals. E. B. B. [Our thanks are due our temporary correspondent for the diligence and ability he has displayed in the manage ment of the Hart County Department, and trust he will frequently faver us with the products of his pen iu the future. We extend to him our sincerest wishes for the future welfare of himself and family, and in the words of Rip, “may they live long and prosper.”—Ed. Gazette ] Hartwell Sabbath School. The Sabbath school in this place, we are glad to say, is in a flourishing condi tion. It did not go into “winter quar ters” (suspend) this winter is why it is making such good headway. Now, since wo have pleasanter weather, we hope more of our country friends will join. Let all turn out, old and young, and make this the “banner school” of N. E. Georgia. F. B. Hodges, Esq., is our energetic Superintendent again this year. 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. E. Church here. Much good has already resulted from them. They are not as weil attended as they should be though. Hope the people in and around the plaqg will show more interest and make a crowded house every Weduesday night by their attendance. Another Old Citizen Dead.
