Sir Jolm Franklin.
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

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.

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.

items from time to time as we think

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.

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.

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,

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.
