Mr, West, of West, Edwards & Cos.,
the bankrupt Atlanta merchants, has

against him.

An old Elbert county planter recently

In response to a call of the chairman
of the Executive Committee of Elbert

chairman of the committee has issued a
call for a meeting of the Democracy of
Elbert county at Elberton on Saturday
next for the purpose of selecting d< le
gates to the Greenesboro’ Convention,
where delegates will be chosen for the
Convention of National Democracy to bo
hold at St Louis.
gkadylin fish.
He is a Better Pish Man than Penn Yonge.
In a recent letter from Atlanta to the
Augusta Constitutionalist, Mr. H. W.
Grady gives an account of a huge fish
farm run by ©ne Penn Yonge near Ope
lika, Ala. In alluding to a fish story
published a few years ago, he says : “I
very much ft a ■ that the vain of preter
natural wisdom I injected intqjhat wild
idyl reduced my correspondents into
taking the advice I forwarded them.”
We know enough of Mr. Grady to as
sert with a very large degree of confi
dence that he would not do aught to
lead our people to contribute to a huge
swindle, and yet he has very innocently
been the means of doing so. Upon the
strength of the character given Penn
Yonge, a party of our best citizens, after
correspondence with Yonge in relation
to furnishing them with fish or spawn
for their ponds, were induced to forward
to him twenty-five dollars to pay his ex
penses to this place. The receipt of the
money was acknowledged by Mr Penn
Yonge, but, although three years have
since passed, that gentleman has not
yet put in an appearance, nor baa he
even sent a dime’s worth of fish, nor will
he ever return the sum of money sent
him to pay his traveling expenses. He
has made any number of promises, but
he arranges to have his dam washed
away, or his fish beds broken up, or some
other destructive accident to happen to
prevent a fulfillment.
We publish this that our exchanges
may know the character of Mr. Penn
Yonge, and that Mr. G. may know more
of his great fish man, and tho means
whereby he lives. Mr. Yonge may not
be a swindler—we do not say he is—
but we have known men dubbed swin
dlers for no smaller offence. •
OJ'R WASKISGTO.'J LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, D. C., April 10, 1876.
The proceedings of Congress last week were
of great interest, though most of it concentred
in the committees. A startling revelation was
male by J. C. Whiteley ex-cliief of the United
States detective force ; when Columbus Alex
ander, a wealthy democratic citizen (it Wash
ington, was engaged in prosecuiing, betore a
( ongressional committee, the district ring, the
safe of Harrington, District Attorney was rob
bed, and an effort was made to put the robbery
ou Mr. Alexander. The conspiracy failed, and
it was proven in court that several of the ring
officials had lrred burglars to rob the safe, and
then lay it to J. lexander. Whiteley was in the
job, and be now testifies before the committee
that Babcock was the man who put it up And
tins too when he was private Secretary and con
fidentia, adviser of the President. He not only
•‘put up the job,” but pledged that all of the
participants should be “protected,” The ques
tion is at once asked “by whose authority did
he make this promise?”
The Spencer investigation is virtually closed,
and the New York Times tajs, “was made a
farce,” because the committee refused to admit
any evidence that could criminate Spencer, or
show that he purchased his election.
The Indian C mmi’tee has been very indus
trious and has developed an immense amount
ol every kind of rascality and fraud, and the
existence ot a ring which extends through every
department of the government and even into the
very cammiti.ee room. Mr. Page, of California,
is ,a member of the committee, and one of
the witnesses, Weeker, ot the New York
Herald, told the committee that he had been in
firmed that Page was a member tf the ring.
Page belongs to the sub-committee, of w hich
Wilshim, of Arkansas i.- chairman, and has in
every way obstructed the examination of wit
nesses, giving color to Weeker’s allegation.
Page also belongs to tho Union and Central
Pacific Railroad ring, in fact he may be said to
be the creature of the Central Pacific, and has
been most pronounced in his opposition to the
bill,giving the country relief from that mono; o!y
by guaranteeing the interest on the bonds of the
Texas and Pacific.
The committee on Naval affairs have accumu
lated testimony enough to make fifteen large
volumes. It reveals every! species of venality
and thievery that could be conceived of. Cattell,
a friend of Secretary Robeson’s, had to receive
five per cent, upon contract before any could be
made. Money that should have been used to
build and repair ships, was taken to pay for
votes. Millions of dollars were risked, and some
of it lost, in the effort to sustain the sinking
forti nes of Jay Cooke, McCulloch and Cos., of
London, and money was sent to them when they
were known to be virtually bankrupt. In the de
partment of justice thousands upon thousands
of dollars were entrusted to men who were not.
under bonds, and to whom no law authorized
money to be entrusted, for the purpose of work
ing up of Kn-Klux cases for political effect.
All ot this was absolutely lost. The revelations
still continue as to tho War Department, and
show that every branch of it is corrupt. Gen.
Meigs, Quarter Master General asked a wi ness
how much he would pay him (Meigs) if he
caused his moth-exterminator to be adopted.
A system of what is called “greasing,” has
been shown to exist in all the purchasing de
partments. It is a mild name for bribery. A
contractor,] would present a quartermaster, or
commis-mry with a fine horse, or carriage, or
watch, and in some instances even with a house,
and that contractor war sure to be accepted,
unless some other one “saw his gift and went
him better”
The books of Sawyer, the great Texas mail
contractor,show that lie paid out over $200,000,
most of which is charged up as ‘lawyers’ fees,”
though it went to high officials in the Post
Office department. So far the Treasury has es
caped, and it only of all the Government Ue
partments.
The evidence taken as to the Whiskey ring'trials
in St. Louis,'show that Fox, a brother-in-law of
Dent, was on the grand jury, and reported its
action to the President, and he sent a spy named
Bell to St. Louis to watch District Attorney
Dyer, and that Babcock and Luckey, Grant's
private Secretaries, triedjto hire Bell to steal all
the papers implicating Babcock from Col. Dyer’s
office.
Altogether the record of the week is the most
sickening of any since Congress met. it is cal
culated to make the honest citizen shudder to
see how every department of the government
has been corrupted, and they will certainly turn
the thieves and robbers out of power when the
opportunity is given them.
The House is discussing the executive, legis
lative and judiciary appropriation bill. The
republicans are opposing its passage in every
possible way, but the responsibility of the re
jection will be thrown upon the Senate, for the
democratic majority has determined to pass the
bill as the committee reported it.
The question of “who shall be the nominee
at St. Louis?” is being freely discussed. Til
den, Thurman, Davis, Hendricks and Bayard,
are most frequently mentioned. Tilden’s fiiends
are the best workers and know best how to
manufacture public opinion, but each of the
others have warm friends who will use every
legitimate means to advocate their friends.
Quite a number of papers, among others the
New Y( rk Tribune, have spoken of Col. Broad
band, of St. Louis, and a strong movement will
be made to push him as a compromise candi
date.
The bill, making the Queen of England Em
press of India has passed both houses of parlia
ment.
The movements of Russia seem to indicate an
intention to uphold the insurgents in Turkey, In
which event Turkey is doomed, and there is a
fair prospect tor a general European war over
tlie division of that country.
The French assembly is proceeding quietly in
its legislation, but many fear that it is only a
sic ping volcano, liable at any time to erupt
into communism and anarchy. Reno.

“A DROP OF JOY IN EVERY WORD.”
Flemingtox, Hunterdon Cos., X J.,
June 26, 137-1.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.:
Dear Sir — it is with a happy heart that I pea
these lines to acknowledge tli t you ami your
Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets
are blessings to the World. These medicines
cannot be too highly praised for they have al
most brought me out of the grave. Three
months ago 1 was broken out with large ulcers an and
sores on my body, limbs and flo e. 1 procured
your Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative
Pellets, and have taken six bot'les, and to-day i
am in good health, all those ugly ulcers having
healed and left my skin in a natural healthy
condition. 1 thought at one time 1 could not
be cured. Although 1 can but poorly express
my gratitude to you, yet there is a drop of joy
in every word 1 write. God's blessing rest on
you and your wonderful medicine: is the hum
ble prayer of Yours truly,
James O. Bkllis.
When a medicine will promptly cure such
terrible eating ulcers and free the blood of the
virulent poison causing them, who can longer
doubt its wonderful virtues? Dr. Pierce, how
ever, does not wish to place his Golden Medical
Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent
nostrums by recommending it to cure every dis
ease, nor dots lie so recommend it; but wln-.t 1 e
does claim is this, that there is but one form if
blood disease that it will not cure, and that dis
ease is cancer. He doe.- not recommend hi
Discovery for that disease, yet lie knows it to
be the most searching blood dec nseryet discov
ered, and that it will free the blood and system
of all other known blood poison%be they animal,
reget ibie or minera The Golden Discovery is
warranted by him to cure the worst forms of
Skin Diseases, as all forms ot Blotches, Pimples
and Eruptions, also all Glandular Swellings,
and the worst form of Scrofulous and Ulcerated
Sores of Neck. Legs or other parts, and Scroful
oils Diseases of the Bones, as White Swellings, |
Fever Sores, Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases, all i
of which belong to Scrofulous diseases. j

The shad fisheries on Tugalo and Sa
vannah rivers near this place have been
a failure this season, owing,jit is said,
! to high water and snow water ; and, for
first time in twenty years, we have had
no shad.
Health of OuriOounty.
There is no county in Georgia or any
! other State that can show a better re
' cord of health than Hart. We have not
| had over a dozen deaths in 12 months;
! they were aged from 76 to ( JG years.
Old Benson says.no man ever ehes a until

cording to "that theory there are men in
this county who will never die.
Progress.
The noise of the saw and hammer is
heard in our town, our high school has
over a hundred scholars, our hotel is
crowded, we have photograph galleries,
! writing schools, debating clubs, ahd al
most everything to make a town lively.
There is not so large a credit business
being done as last year, but what is
done is on a safe basis, and the two
year credit plan has played out. Our
merchants must either have had large
capital or extraordinary good credit to
carry” on trade as it has been done
here for the last few years.
Ho! For the Eic Hie.
As has been heretofore announced in
The Gazette, there wdl be a Centennial
Pic-Nic uii Saturday the 6th day of May.
It will be held at Major Craft’s ferry, on
Savannah river, in Elbert county. Dis
tinguished orators will be invited to
lend interest to the occasion. The del
gation from Hart will assemble at Park’s
ferry, about five miles above Craft's, and
sail down on one of Capt. J. F. Craft’s
cotton boats, which will be fitted up and
well manned for the occasion. Wo hope
to meet a host of pleasurejseekors from
Elbert and Anderson. All are invited
to attend, and especially the ladies, who
of course will not forget to carry their
baskets brimful of rich viands.
Sunday,
Twenty one years ago, Rev. Henry
Tyler preached hero in the old wooden
courthouse. Most of the men present
had no coats on, and wore wool hats ;
the ladies wore calico and sun bonnets.
One old man who seemed very much af
fected, and had no Mned
nearly up to the pulpit, picked up a
piece of greasy newspaper and wiped his
“weeping eyes.” To day lie preached
here in as large and comfortable a cnurch
as there is in N. E. Georgia, and to as
elegantly dressed and well behaved con
gi t gation as can be found in the State.
Mr. Tyler, has been preaching nearly
half * century in this county, and a few
days ago, assisted by Rev. W. T. Nor
man, preached the funeral of Hon. M.
Carter, who had been his true friend for
fifty-five years. If Henry Tyler had
have had the educational advantages
that some bishops have, he would have
been a head and shoulders abo/e any of
them. The sermon he gave us tc-day
had more good sound common sense
and better than we ever heard
from any preacher.

the most eminent satisfaction arid
