History possesses fewer examples of more heroic bearing and self-sacrificing efforts fo the advancement of the material interests of man kind than that exhibited hy this noble martyr in his exertions to make a discovery which ii ao complishcd would open to the world advantages beyond computation But how insignificant are geographical d'si-overic-, when compared with those that benefit the human organization, showing how in this life enemies may he van quished, how the brain may tie invigorated and rendered capable of grasping the most abstruse questions, whether or me chanical. This can never be the case while the body is enfeebled by disease. The blood must.be healthy, till machinery of body must he in per fect working order, otherwise the bruin is weak and total ineompe'eney to grasp the great issues of life is the result. Such a discovery Ims been made by Dr. Tutt in his celebrated Liver Bill Bills They have accomplished more good to the human family than could ever have been attained by the sttc ess of Sir John Franklin. 2t Bleached goods astonishingly low.

Moro clever gentlemen can't bo found anywhere. _ Harness Maker.— We call attention to the card of Mr. W. O. Presley, harness maker. He is a first-class workman, and shows specimens of work which will do credit to any city establishment. Still Eere. Though for several times announced to leave Elberton, the coming in of new work, etc., has caused him to remain, and he is still here, and can be found at his gallery over Dr. 11. C. Edmunds’ drug store. Mr. Wren, is an adept in his business, and those desiring good work would do well to visit him at an early day. + <osfr- 4 - —— The Milledgeville Union and Record er di cs not believe that Gov. Johnson would decline a nomination if it should be tendered by the Convention. It says "nothing the* Atlanta Constitution can says will prevent the people from norm nating Gov. Johnson, and if he is nomi Bated he is sure to be elected. Thous ands of colored people would vote for Gov. Johnson on account of the kind ness lie showed their race in the trials for insurrection last year. Gov. John son has been tried often and never found wanting, and all that the Atlanta Consti tution cau says or do will not keep him from being elected.” Cribbed. Two negroes were lodged in jail yes terday charged with stealing meat from the smokehouse of Mr. E. B. Tate, an account of which we gave two weeks ago. Meeting of Trustees. — An important meeting of the Board of Trustees of tiie Elberton Female Collegiate Institute will be held in Elberton on the Ist Tues day in May. J. H. Jones, 2t. President. The silver bill has passed both houses, and awaits the signature of the Prcsi- Mass Meeting of the Democratic Party of Elbert County. The Democratic parly of Elbert coun ty are requested to meet en masse at Elberton, on Saturday, the 22d inst, to select delegates to the District Conven tion to be held at Greensboro, on the 2Gth inst., for the purpose of selecting delegates for the District and State at large, to the National Convention, to be held at St. Louis. Let not the fruits of the past glorious victories of the party be followed by a centennial defeat, overwhelming and dis graceful, on account of apathy, luke warmness or indifference Let all turn out and present a solid front, E- P. Edwards, Ch’m. Pic-Eics. The pupils of the E. F. C. I anticipate a stroll beside some silvery stream next Friday, we have heard. A day from the school-room where prevails an atmos phere caused by close application to books, not so bouyant as that out of | doors, wiil materially aid in bringing back to them that lively, blithsome na ture so much study has caused them in a degree to lose. The pic-nic at Mr. J. 11. Brewer’s mill promises to be more festive and enjoya | ble than those had there heretofore if it I was possible. A touching scene we wit- I nessed the other day relative to this oe i casion. We were passing the residence of a certain young lady in town, and she I was swinging on the front gate, with her head buried in her tiny hands, weep ing bitterly, as if her poor heart would break. Now, if there is any one thing more excruciatingly painful to us than another, it is to see a female in tears, j (Wo are honest about this ) Ob, so lac erating the effect on our gentle nature. We can t exactly express ourself, but it gives us something like ti e “allovera.” Our whole soul like the magnificent Ni agara flows with sympathy towards them, and so pent-up do we become that to restrain our sentiment would be sui cidal. So with a true feeling of condo lence for her, we stepped beside her, and in a tremulous sympathetic tone wins pered: ‘'Sad soul, we know life is short. That ‘time and tide wait for no man,’ but then, we should make the best of our lot on earth Calm, calm the tempestu ous raging of your trouble-! ossed heart, it sorrows me to witness your grief.” Still she sobbed. “We can stand it,” we continued. “Allow us to pour the oil of consolation into your grief-stricken soul, and cause an elysian halo of sunshine so effulgent to play about your gloomy heart as to banish the dark cloud that haunts and tantalizes your being. Tell us, lair lady, what is tiie source of all this grief.” She uncovered her face, and on h r cheeks rested two crystal like drops, her eyes looked tired from their weeping, she sobbed and sighed heavily, then in a half choked manner mumbled out something about being "sheered it would rain on the 29th, and she wouldn’t have the opportunity of wearing her di igenally checked new cal ico frock made with a polonaise to the pic-nic.” We passed on. The arrangements for the pic-nic at Craft’s ferry progress finely. Our Hartwell correspondent speaks of it as an occasion for pleasure seekers. Profanity. All the doctors of divinity around here have i een in constant attendance upon the young gentleman whose only coat was worn to church by a friend last Sunday without his knowledge or con sent. And yet it is said, in palliation, that he is just learning the use of cuss words. Anti-Masonry. A handsome and popular gentleman of Elberton —sometimes taken for a French count—has taken occasion lately to declare the most hostile feelings against the Masonic fraternity—and still the stars weie shining with unusual brightness. Sad Accident, While engaged in erecting a roof over a well on his premises last weak, B. C. Wall, Esq., an old and highly respected citizen in Longstreet, fell to the ground from a ladder and broke his thigh. As Mr. Wall is over seventy years old the accident is of a serious nature, and will be the means perhaps of prostrating him for a long time. We heartily sympathise with him in his affliction. A New Comer. We were pleased to meet in our village last week, Doctor Brook, of Richmond, Ya., who is on a visit to Georgia for the purpose of locat ng. The Doctor is pleased with our climate and people, and our citizens have given him a cor dial welcome. We hope he will conclude to settle with us, and we will assure him of as pleasant a home as can be found anywhere. A sad-eyed young man, looking as though weighted down with the burden of life, stepped into an Elberton store the other day and meekly remarked to the clerk that lie would take tive cents’ worth of cigars. Receiving for answer that they didn’t sell that sort there, he heaved a sigh and went to the nest store. A gentleman we know ot has a stray animal en his farm in this county, but is afraid to advertise it in The Ga: ette for fear the owner will come for it. . Revenue spies say that the Spring climate of Elbert county is very debili tating. And yet how can they tell ? If a stranger who goes there chooses to shave his own head, whip himself, and spend the night in a barrel, how can lie tell anything about the climate"? Chronicle & Sentinel. When you meet a man who does not take off his hat to a lady, be sure that man is bald-headed. An adjomned’term of Ogletbope court will be held for the Eberhart case. Wabbenton, Ga., April Bth, 1876. Mr. Editor : This week the Superior Court of Warren county has been in ses sion at this place. Judge William Gib son, of the Augusta circuit, presiding one half of the week, who was relieved by Judge Pottle on Thursday evening. Judge Pottle has been absent in Wash ington county where he held court for Judge H. Y. Johnson. This court occu pied -over a week in trying the case of Wilson of Savannah, vs Riddle, of said county—Judge Johnson being counsel in the case coul not preside. It was a case in equity, and both parties were ably represented. Judge McKay of Atlanta, and General Henry R. Jackson, of Savunnau, were the leading counsel on each side. The case involved a large amount of money. The jury rendered a verdict of some $56,000 in favor of plaintiff, which, with interest added that was due, amounted to something over SBO,OOO. The case will go to tho Su preme Court. There was a negro named Isham Dan iels tried here this week for murder, found guilty after a trial of a day and a half. He was sentenced to be hun g on tho 19th of next month. In passing sentence. Judge Pottle, delivered a very impressive and able lecture to the pris oner. The negro’s counsel, Seaborn Reese, Esq., made a motion for anew trial, which will be heard at Hancock court next week, and will probably be granted. He was defended with great ability by Mr. Reese, who is an excellent and ria ing young lawyer. There appears to be a general depres sion of business, and an especial dull ness in trade wherever we have been, and people complain generally of hard times. The recent decision of the Supreme Court, providing that the homestead in certain cases might be waived, will be the means of obtaining credit by a large class of persons. This may help a great many people now, but may work hard ship in the end. Hon. A. 11. Stephens, is reported as being in much better health, and that there are good chances that he will get up again. We have even heard it ex pressed by persons who have seen him la (el:, that with the beginning of warm weather, lie will very likely be in his seat in Congress. His is truly a re markable life. This fall there will be an election for Congress for this dis trict, and as usual there will be any number of candidates. Judge Gibson, of Augusta, lias announced himself as an independent candidate, in case the “sage of Liberty Hall” does not want to go. In to-day’s papers we see that Gjv Smith positively declines to be a candi date for re-election, which will material ly increase the chances of the other as pirants. This section of the State, so far as wo can judge is for Herschel V. Johnson, and next to him probably Gen Colquitt has the best chance. It is a hard question, however, to decide at present; for there is no telling what may turn up, or who will get on top by October. The Superior Court of Hancock con vones next week. There are two min der cases set down for trial in that court. "We will endeavor to give you such items from time to time as we think will be of interest to your readers. S. TEE ABBES r OF BLODGETT. Fester Blodgett was arrested in this city Sunday morning and laturned to Atlanta, under arrest, Sunday night. Blodgett fled the State in November, 1871, and has not been in Georgia since. He has been living most of tho time in Newberry, South Carolina, but, so far as we can learn, no effort has been made to bring him back to Georgia. There are no less than five indictincnts*pending against him in Fulton Superior Court: two for embexzlement; one for felony; one for cheating and swindling, and one for larceny after a trust delegated. These indictments were found in 1872, and since that time Blodgett has been living within easy reach of the courts of Georgia. In addition to these proceed ings on the criminal side of the court, a civil suit was brought by attachment against Blodgett to make him refund fifty thousand dollars that he had unlaw fully taken from the State. Blodgett seems to fear no evil, says he has Gov ernor Conley’s pardon in his pocket, and that he has been willing to return to Georgia at any time during the past four years. For ourselves, we do not think Blodgett has anything to fear. We have always believed, and believe now, that thero are prominent Democrats in Geor gia interested in screening him from trial and punishment He doubtless knowns some ugly things, and his snence is golden to certain parties in the State. If he should be forced to tell all he knows some very bad revelations may be the result. Neither Bullock nor Blodgett have been wanted in Georgia, or their presence could easily have been secured a long lime ago. We hope, however, for the honor of the State, that this man will not be allowed to escape without a fair trial. If he knows anything about Democrats let him speak and tell all he does know. The party in Georgia is strong enough to be able to punish its own criminals. No matter how damag ing may be his testimony, he should be encouraged to speak—let his words harm whom they will. Wo greatly fear, how ever, chat his arrest wiil come to nothing-. There are too many persons interested in keeping Blodgett away and keeping him quiet.—[Chronicle & Sentinel. * v Tho Charleston steamers now carry northward about one thousand quarts of strawberries a day.

Dear Gazette : Franklin Superior Court was in session last week, and as we spent the week so pleasantly, we cannot forbear imposing upon your read ers a short sketch ■ if what traspired His Honor Judge Rice, occupied the ’ judicial stand, and administered law | with his characteric ability. The position of solicitor general was | ably filled by Judge A L. Mitchell, for several years Judge of the County Court of Clarke county. The appointment of Judge Mitchell as crown officer, has been lately made to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Emory Speer, Esq. We welcome the Judge, and congrat ulate him upon his accession to this of fice, at the same time wo deplore fhe loss of Col. Speer, adding the wish that he may be successful in his future ca reel'. Besides the local bar, Messrs. Dortch and Little, we note in attendance Messrs, Estes and Langston, of Hall; I Col. Nash, of Madiscq ; Messrs. Nether land, Owens, and Camp, of Habersham ; I Messrs. Turnbull, and Moss, of Banks ; | Col. Tkurmon 1, of Clarke ; Messrs. Os : born and Shannon, of Elbert; and j Col’s. Itamplty, Willis, and West—the j three last named being in a chrysalid j state and not yet full fledged, but when I thoy do emerge from this embryo condi ! tion, their elders may look well to their laurels. There were few cases on the civil docket of much magnitude. A case for breach of contract—dama gc3 laid at SI,OOO, was tried, resulting in a verdict of S2O and costs. Another for words, damages claimed $3,000, ver dict for $25. The most important cause was an ap peal from the Court of Ordinary, on the application of tho heirs at law of John son Williams to remove James M. Crump, his administrator. The trial of this consumed two days, and resulted iu a verdict removing Mr. Crump from the administration. There were no felonies upon the State docket, and but few misdemeanors, while the jail was empty. Ilis Honor; imprisoned a juror, a night for being drunk in the box, and falling off his seat. “They say” fhe night’s rest completely sobered him as well as cured the dropsy, with which he seemed to be affected. Tho fourth estate was well represent ed, as we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Carlton, of the Georgian, Col. Chris ty, of the ‘Watchman Mr. Crymes, of tho North Georgia Herald, Mr. Norman, agent for the Chronicle & Sentinel, and Mr. Wilson, editor of the Franklin county Register, as well as a host of agents for this last named journal. All of the gentlemen above named were exerting themselves in behalf of their several papers, but we incline to the belli f that the C & S agent was most untiring, soliciting subscribers, and distributing his cards with an ener gy wonderful to behold Another gentleman in attendance who was neither lawyer nor journalist, but s*; l Vi “brick,” was Mr. Reaves, of the firm of Center & Reaves. May his sue cess be commensurate with Lis good humor. On Thursday happened one of the most pleasant incidents of our life. That day, the'l3th, was the 77th an niversary of Col. Gabriel Nash’s birth, and mine host, John McCarter, planned a delightful surprise in the shape of a sumptuous bar dinner in honor of this event. Seated around the festive board, was the Judge and the legal gentlemen, when Col. Langston proposed the health of Col. Gabriel Nash. To this Colonel Nash replied in language that brought tears to the eyes of all present. Col. Estes followed in a few feeling remarks, which added to what Col. Nash had said, produced that hallowed and tender presentiment which is most akin to the love we have to him v/ho shed his blood for us. We parted, each feeling that it was well to have been present, and honestly repeating “omen” to the prayer of Col. Nash, that ho might live to see tho year 1900. Our wordy effusion has spun out to a length not intended when we began, but we cannot close without mention ing the fact that old Elbert finds cause for congratulation and pride in the fact of being the birth place of the Metho dist minister preaching at Carnesville, Rev. Mr. Smith. While at court we stopped with that prince of hosts, John McCarter. John was lame, caused it is said by an effervescence of spirits, superinduced by anew suit of clothes acting directly up on his excitable disposition, and thereby causing him to attempt to leap into the air and crack his heels together twice. He succeeded but the second explosion was the bones of his ankle. Wo conclude, dear Gazette, by say ing that the session of Erar.klin court just ended, is an oasis in the desert of our remembrance. To the kind people of this county we return our sincere thanks for their friendly attentions. To the young ladies wo bow profound ly, and wish them continued health and happiness. More we might say on this subject, but net to yon, dear Gazette, nor to the public. Yours, John Quill. r A Difference.— Admitting that bitter charges were made against Washington, Hamilton, Jackson, Jefferson, and oth er statemen of the olden time, the Balti more Sun shows how all of this party fury differed from the accusations of our own day. It says: “The great, practical and pertinent question at this time, however, is, did they steal anything from the Government or the people? If they did not, and no one ever charged them with that crime, the present generation of puplic officials is certainly worse than they are, for while their political rancor is as great as that of their forefathers, they have not -inherited the public virtue and honesty which, in the causa of the men of the Revolution, covered a multi tude of sins.” Peter Keenan.—We were sorry to hear, a few days ago, that our worthy fel low-citizen, Peter Keenan, had been compelled, by the pressure of the times, to avail himself of tho relief of the bank rupt act. It jdeases us to learn that an overwhelming majority of liis largest j creditors have not only sympathized with his misfortunes, but express a de sire substantially that ho should con tinue in business, without any detri ! ment from their claims. Besides this, Mr. Keenan has not lacked for good friends at home. His difficulties there fore, are but temporary, and even in a proverbially wicked world, he has reaped the reward of an honest life and a gen erous heart. May the future be bright for him.—[Constitutionalist, A "Washington special says the j southern members feel that the ap pointment of Boutwell as chairman of Morton’s Mississippi outrage commit tee is a direct insult to the South, as the witnesses which they must of necessity examine are the very men whom Bout well declared in the senate to be, in his | opinion, liars and unrepentant rebels.

Appeal: The bale of 1 cotton which took the one-thousand dol !ar premium for the centennial, in this | city last Monday, is tho product from a ! single seed of the Matagorda silk species, ; brought from Galveston, Texas, a few i years ago, into Lee county, by Mr. J. F. Fowlkes, from whom Mr. Taylor pro cured the seeds that have immortalized him as a cotton handler. The game law of Georgia provides that from the Ist of February to the Ist of Septemper in each year it shall boa misdemeanor to kill any deer, buck, doe or fawn ; and from tho Ist day of March i to tiie 15th of October it shall be a mis demernor to shoot, snare, trap or kill in any way, any wiki turkey or partridge. Penalty in all cases is a tine of five dol lars, for the first offence, and ten dol lars for the second—one half to tho in former and the other to the county. Every bird or deer killed in the time specified will constitute a separate of fence and be punished accordingly. The Nashville American says that in Hartford, Connecticut, last Friday even ing, United States Senator Win. E. Eaton addressed an audience of some twenty live hundred. In the course of his speech he made a rather startling an nouncement concerning a matter which lie said had net been as yet made public, but with whichjhe was “thoroughly con versant,” and its substance was that when the New Orleans whiskey ring comes to be exposed Sb Louis and other Western cases of this class would seem insignificant, for in New Orleans frauds would be traced directly to the White House and to President Grant, who was familar with all the facts. He claimed further, that men who had gone there to ferret out the facts had been killed, and that the Attorney-General had refused to take steps toward punishing the mur derers. He ’knew this to be true, and he knew that the Attorney General and President also knew it. ♦ MARKJ3T 11EPOHTS.
