The Next Governor of Georgia.
Since the retirement of Governor
Smith from the contest, the question as
to who will be the next Governor of
Georgia has been more generally dis
cussed in this section than ever. After
careful inquiry and counting of noses
we believe the several candidates rank
about as follows: First, Herschel V.
Johnson, who, if he w T ill consent to run,
stands a head and shoulders above all
others ; second, A. H. Colquit, who has
the confidence and esteem of almost the
entire farming community ; third, L. J.
Gartrell, who has a fair following, that
would be increased by a better knowl
edge of that gentleman ; fourth, Thos.
Hardeman; fifth (or last), John H.
James—for there are a very few here
who believe a man ought to be made
Governer because he has made money,
so great is the power of mammon over
the inclination.
The friends of each individual named
may think we have not judged without
bias, but our honest conviction places
each one as above. Of course, the nom
inee of the convention will be endorsed
by the people.
Georgia and Tilden.
A Virginia paper remarks that the Geor
gia delegation is almost solid for Tilden,
which is about as far from the truth as
a man can well get, unless he sets in for
a regular apprenticeship at lying. Lay
ing aside the question of availability,
there is hardly a bona fide Democrat in
Georgia who would name Tilden as his
choice for the standard bearer of the
party. Availability nominated Seymour,
of New York, in 1868, and he was de
feated. The same plea nominated Gree
ley, also of New York, in 1872, with a
like result. Whether we could do bet
ter in 1876 by submitting to the dictates
of New York again is very questionable.
We firmly believe that Bayard and De
mocracy would win more votes than Til
den and policy. The milk-and water
policy has been faithfully tried and it
failed; we would like to see a fearless
straight ticket tried.
Of one thing, however, we are assured
—the Democracy of Georgia will be a
unit for the nominee of the party, who
ever it may be.
008. WASIIINfGTOar LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, D. C., May Bth, 1876.
Thej message President Grant sent to the
House hist week, in response to a resolution of
the 3d of April, asking if any official acts or
duties of the Executive had been performed at
any other place than the capital, is the subject of
much comment. He tells the House that it has
no right to ask such a'question. That as chief
executive he is superior to one branch of the
legislative powers of the government, and that
he shall not answer the resolution by giving the
information. He then says that ha has done
official acts at other places than Washington,
and that he is President wherever he may be
and is bound to perform these acts. To justify
himself he quotes acts done by all the Presidents
from Washington to Lincoln, at [mints distant
from the capital, and gives a table of the num
ber of days each President was absent from the
capital. The message was evidently prepared
for a campaign document to answer the charge
of absenteeism, and really disposes of it if L pre
cedents justify such actions.
The House has been discussing the Postoffice
appropriation bill, which is reported from the
committee by and in charge of Mr, Holman.
The bill savess2,ooo,ooo from this year’s cost of
the mail service, and meets with opposition from
a great many Democrats from the South and
West, who think it will reduce their mail facili
ties in these "sections. The clause stopping
the delivery system in all cities with less than
40,000 inhabitants, is also warmly opposed by
members who have cities in their districts con
taining between twenty and forty thousand in
habitants, and I think a combination will be
made by which the figures will bo raised to
about the same amount of the present appro
priation.
The question of the jurisdiction of the Senate,
in the impeachment of officers who have re
signed, is being ably argued, but no idea can be
obtained of what the decision will be.
Mr. Randall says the committee on appropria
tions have their business so far advanced that
the House will be ready to adjourn by the tenth
of June. But I have no idea that an adjourn
ment will be made until late in the summer.
There is every indication of a dead lock between
the Senate and the House on the appropriation
bills, and that none of them will be passed by
the first of July. In that event, I am of the
opinion that the goverment offices will be dosed,
for it is reported that President has said “that
if the Consular and Diplomatic bill is passed as
it came fiom the House, that he will order all
our min’stei sj and consuls home on the first of
July, upon the ground that the appropriations
are insufiicent to sustain the service properly.”
Congress adjourns from Tuesday until Friday
toattend the oppeningof the centennial grounds.
The President, Secretaries, Judge of the Su
preme Court and Congress will be there, going
over on special trains furnished by Col. Tom
Scott, free of charge. For three days the clerks
will conduct the affairs of the nation, and I have
no doubt they will be as well attended to, as if
the chiefs were present.
lieport says that next week the Texas and
Pacific bill will be reported from the committee,
and will pass the House with but little opposi
tion. It is to be hoped this is true, as it will
•put thousands of men to work who are now
idle, and Introduce a large amount of money
into circulation.
Fitzhugh, the doorkeeper of the House, wrote
a very foolish letter in December last to a friend
in Texas, and it lias been published. It places
him in a very position, out of which
his only method is resignation. Unless he ;is
required to do this, his letter will hurt the party
seriously in the coming campaign.
The friends of the Presidential aspirants are
all steadily at work. Tilden’s seem the best
organized among the Democrats, and Blaine’s
among the Republicans. So far Tilden’s chances
seem the best, but he has to tear a Southern and
Western combination, which may prevent his
receiving the two-thirds needed in a Domocratic
convention to nominate. In that event he may
be able to name the man, and it is said that
failing to obtain the first, he is willing to take
the second place on the ticket. Conkling is
gaining strength because he is e\ idently the
favorite of Grant, and the office holders are at
work lor him.
There is nothing of interest from abroad.

Savannah, Ga., April 2S, 1872.
Dr. Tutt
In gratitude for the benefit received by the
use of your Expectorant, 1 do cheerfully add my
testimony to its wonderful power in curing
deep-seated coughs. For several years I suffered
dreadfully with a cough attended with great
difficulty of breathing. I was induced to try
your expectoiant, and it gave almost immediate
relief. I took six bottles and am now perfectly
restored. It is about five months since I began
its use. and I have not had an attack since. It
has been a great blessing to me ; I can not af
ford to be without it, and heartily recommend it
to all who have lung or throat disease.

How to Amuse the Children.— Parents are
often at a loss to find amusement fof the young
people, which will at the same time, instruct
their minds, cultivate the taste, and give them
an appreciation for the beautiful.
Anew and interesting art has recently been
introduced to the public called “Decalcomanie,”
or Transfer Pictures. These Pictures are printed
on prepared paper, in many colors and sizes, of
almost every variety of subject, such as Heads,
Landscapes, Flowers, Autumn Leaves, Insects,
Comic Figures, &c., which can be instantly and
permanently transferred to almost any article
one may wish to ornament, such as fans, Work
Boxes, Vases, Flower Pots, Furniture and vari
ous articles of household use. When transfer
red these pictures, in beauty of color and ar
tistic design, rival the most beautiful painting.
The art is easily acquired and children even
soon become experts ; the process of decorating
articles with these pictures is novel, ingenious
and highly interesting to young and old.
The manufacturers, of these pictures, Messrs.
J. L. Patten k Cos., 162 William Street, New
York, offer to send,(by mail postpaid, ten selected
samples of these pictures, full instructions for
transfer ring the same, with 24 page catalogue,
for ten cents, or for fifty cents they will send one
hundred attractive pictures. [ml7,’76.tf

The Democrats of Hart county are re

Hartwell High School.
Last week we announced that Prof,
and Mrs. Looney would have an examin
ation and exhibition of their school on
the 29th and 30th of this inst., which in
formation we had received, from general
rumor and which we thought correct.
Prof. Looney informs us that lie does
not propose to give a public examina
tion until the close of the school for the
year, which will be in the fall. He ex
pects to devote one day to the examina
tion of his school in the presence of the
trustees and patrons of the school at the
close of this term
Y/lioal.
During the past ten days we hear that
the wheat crop in this county has suf
fored very much with the rust, and it is
feared by many that the crop will be ma
terially reduced.
Our own observation has been that
the area of this crop is much larger this
year than former years, and two weeks
ago it was in a flourishing condition, and
therefore hope that this report is un
founded, and the result may not turn
out so badly after all.
Cantata.
A cantata will be given by Miss An
nie Jordan and her music class, in which
about fifteen of our most beautiful
i j’oung ladies will participate. This en
| tertainment will be on the 29th and
30th of this month, to which the public
are invited to attend. The name of the
cantata is the “Flower Queen, or the
Coronation of the Bose,” and we prom
ise all lovers of good music a treat nev
er before heard in Hartwell.

journeys all over America, and in
a very inclement season, I used

to use your Pianos exclusively in
my Two Hundred and FifieenCon
certs, and aiso in private, with
the most eminent satisfaction and
effect. Ne.v York,May 24th, 1873.
(The above is the only testimo
nial ever given by Rubenstein to
any Piano manufacturer.)

splendid.upright Piano shone to

Your Pianos may be proclaimed
as incomparable! What noble,
distinguished tone! What poet

“During rny long career aj
Artist and composer, I hare met
with many fniu European and

Piano purfcct, to such a high de
gree as your celebrated I’icbo
Fortes ” (New York, July 5, 1872.
