THE GAZETTE. i —i ii Wednesday, January 17th, 1877. Radical ;Misrepresentations. The proclivity of Southern Radicals to lie is proverbial. We say “Southern Radicals,” because we have never jei disbelieved that there were honest Re publicans in the North ; men who were educated in Republican schools by Re publican teachers, and who, without knowing the real sentiments and condi tion of the Southern people, were and are conscientious in their political faith. But we cannot say this of the average Southern Radical. The renegades from Northern States who came South at the close of the v/ar for the pur pose of making money, laid the question of honesty aside, and it is notorious that their acquisitions have been great; while their poor dupes, the negrces—the vehicle which carried them into positions of honor and trust —are as poor as ever, no matter whether they were more to be trusted —as was and is true in most cases—or whether they were kept in poverty by the system atic robberies of the Freedman’s Sav ings Banks, or like institutions of Radi cal shrewdness and chicanery, by which tba savings of honest toil were swept away. We have not in the past been surprised that these tricksters and bummers succeeded in'£,deluding an ignorant and uneducated race into fol lowing their advice and submitting to their leadership. Their very ignorance was the capital for speculation, and it has been used with unsparing hand. The condition of the negro raco in Georgia is a defiant refutation of any charge of wrong which Radical diabol ism may bring. In no Radical Southern State is that race as well provided for in means of education or accumulating property; in no such State is their mor al and religious condition as good. We say this with pride, because it is an indubitable argument, however ungrate fully the true friends of the negro were thrust aside for political adventurers, that they worked with un waver in g fidelity for the elevation of that race, and the result obtained can bo traced to no other source. These reflections are called forth by a communication in an unknown and char acterless publication inAtlanta, to which our attention has been called, which communication purports to have been written at Elberton, on the 28th Decem ber, 1876, undesigned “T. A. F.” if (“fy” had been added, it would have given the color of the writer), in which the writer gives publicity to several assertions, and each one an unqualified falsehood, which we propose to give in their order. Lie No. I.—“ Republican tickets were sent here before the October election, but the postmaster would not deliver them to us until three days after the election.” The term “us” is too general, the writer is cautious in not mentioning who “us” wore. We have colled on both the postmaster and ms assistant to find out the truth of this charge, and he unhesi tatingly declares it a wilful misrepresen tation. Whether tickets came or not ho does not know, as he has not yet acquired that species of knavery which Radical, “honesty” has made so popular with the party of great moral ideas, of prying into letters or packages—this being prohibited by the law he has sworn to obey; but in no case has any letter or package been called for by parties to whom they were addressed, or by persons having orders for such letters or packages, but they were promptly delivered. This he will declare on oath, and perhaps that will be as good as the simple assertion of “T. A. F.” Lie No. 2—“As we could not get any tickets, of course! there were no votes cast for Hayes and Wheeler, and so hun dreds of men were deprived of all the right that the Constitution gives them.” Why “we” could not get any tickets, he does not deign to say; but the reason given why “hundreds of colored men were deprived of all the right that the Constitution gives them,” bears false hood on its face. If “we” were very ar dent supporters of Hayes and Wheeler, tickets Could have been written by the same glib hand that pens a communica tion “from Elbertor “we” could have had tickets printed in Elberton on the day of the election, if they were needed. “T. A. F.” shows his hand very plainly in another paragraph, when he says, “No man should be allowed to take charge of a post-office who will commit such illegal acts, and we ask for a man who will deal justly with the mail.” The “man who will deal justly with the mail,” can be no other than “T. A. F.” An order from the President of “the party I represent” would bring “T. A. F.” from Atlanta to Elberton as fast as the cars and stage could travel “to deal justly with the mail/' and perhaps this would boas good a course as could be adopted for “God to revenge such cruelty’Vand put an end to our oppression ; this being the way the writer “from Elbert” rounds off his pe riods. This, of course, is gammon and is intended to show that the writer “from Elbert” knows a thing or two about writ ing for publication, by which means he nails his assertions, as it were. His policy in calling on the Deity, however, is not praiseworthy, as the same just power that revenges cruelty deals out justice unsparingly to the liar. We be lieve that a little reflection would have caused the writer “from Elbert” to agree with the Irishman in saying that “the last thing he wanted was justice.” Connecticut this year joins the States that inaugurate their governments with the beginning of the year. Maine, New York, Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania are among the other States that begin their governmental year with the calen dar year. When a boy was asked, “Where was the text this morning ?” He replied, “It was somewhere in hatchets.” “In hatchets ? No, it was Acts.” “Well, I knew it was something that would cut," said the boy, triumphantly. Gov. Nicholls. Of all men brought to the front by the recent political troubles, no man suits the occasion better than Gov. Nicholls, of Lou isiana. Inaugurated as the Democratic Governor at the same time that Return ing Board Packard was installed as the Radical executive, he seized the reins of government with an unflinching determ ination to oust the usurpers if Grant would keep off his always-threatened troops. Packard had made his threats that he would call out ;and arm an over whelming force of militia. Nicholls made no threats, but calmly took his seat, ■when he called n sufficient force of militia to keep down all disorder and to prevent Packard’s crew from overriding the courts of justice. The first act of the Radical legislature was to abolish a court of their own creation, but which had re fused to connive at party frauds, and to create another court which would do party bidding. Nicholls’ first act was„to take charge of the courthouse, oust the illegal court and reinstate the old body. He next quietly took charge of all pub lic property in New Orleans, except the State house which he left undisturbed. The situation was quiet at last accounts with the odds largely in favor of Nich oils. So mote it be. General Longstreet. However erratic this old war horse’s course may have been since the war up to two years ago, he has of late been gross ly misrepresented by a portion of the press. It was positively stated that he had consented to take command of Pack ard’s Radical militia in Louisiana. So far from this being true, General Long street has unhesitatingly declared that the State had gone Democratic, and that the returning board had counted in the Hayes electors and Packard by will ful fraud. If he commands any militia in,Louisiana)it will be that of Governor Nicholls. The Slip ’Twixt Cup and Lip. J. G. Herald, of the N. Y. Bennett was to have been married recently to a young lady of the city, but ’his bad con duct caused an estrangement, and to add to the unpleasantness of the affair a broth er of the young lady met Mr. Bennett at the club rooms and cowhided him. The result was an affair of honor, whjch took place in Maryland or Delaware, and one or both of the principals came off with out a scratch—at least such is the defi nite character of the information we ob tain from the dispatches. Definite or indefinite, however, it is bad enough for Bennett, and we expect he wishes he was well married and out of it. A Capital Daily. The high position the Savannah News occupies in the estimation of the people of Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, and wherever its merits are known, make its commendation a useless work. Its every department is under the control gtiniiouien oi peculiar mness, wniie'tne character of its gentlemanly proprietor is known wherever works of charity and deeds of kindness have been known. The News has few equals as a live newspa per, and is of interest to people of any section of the State or country. Death of Commodore Vanderbilt. Commodore Vanderbilt died recently in New York at an advanced age. He was a self made man, and well made, too, if we judge him by the money he accu mulated, which, his biographers state, amounted to eighty-five millions of dol lars. He used his means largely for doing good and his death, though long expected, was greatly regretted. Enlargement of Business.— We are glad to note that that genial young gen tleman and accomplished jeweler, Mr. F. P. Talmadge, has purchased the stock of Messrs. Childs & Moss and L. Scheve nell & Cos., which lie will consolidate with his old stock at No. 3 Broad street, Athens, Georgia. This will make his establishment one of the most attractive to be found anywhere and presided over by one of the most pleasant gentleman in the State. We advise all who want the best goods to give Mr. Talmadge a call. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 13, 1877. Bro. McCarty : I arrived here on Monday evening last; wentßo the Mark hum House, found it packed like a box of sardines : went to Kirnbal House, got lodging there by being taken high up in Georgia on the steam elevator. Hotels, boarding houses, and all out doors was filled with candidates. I made a calcu lation, and there are just acres of them by putting one in a hill, 3 feet apart. I met ono old man on the train who said he was going to run for door-keeper, and thought he ought to have it, as he was 62 years old and never “expired” for an office before; but he did not get it. Norwood stock is advancing rapidly in this market, and if I had not signed a half scholar to the Methodist about 30 years ago would bet something on his election. There are lots of pretty ladies in At lanta, but you can bet your bottom dol lar I won’t look at any more of them. The streets are awful slick and slop py, and just as a nice gang of them were paddling across the street, I having on anew pair of shoes, the heels went back on me and seated me in Atlanta slosh. The ladies did not laugh, but the fool boys had no more manners than to laugh right out. I have not looked at one since. I met your gentlemanly and efficient representative, who wanted me to room with him, and which I would gladly have done but had written and engaged board before coming on. Old B says if you mention goobers any more he will challenge you. Yours truly, Bob. The new church was dedicated last Sunday. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills. —These deservedly cele brated and popular medicines have effected a revolution in the healing art, and proved the fallacy of several maxims which have for many years obstructed the progress of medical science. The false supposition that “Consumption is in curable” deterred physicians from attempting to find remedies for that disease, and patients af flicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, that it has been cured in a very great number of cases, (some of them apparently des perate ones) by Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the same medicine in con nection with Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the requirements of the case. Dr. Schcnck himself who enjoyed uninter rupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed at one timetobe at the very gateof death, bis physicians having pronounced the case hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the aforesaid medicines, and, since bis recovery, many thousands similarly af fected ha\e used Dr. Schenck’s preparations with the same remarkable success. Full direction* accompany each, making it not absolutely necessity to personally see Dr. Schenck unless patients wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose he is profession ally at his principal office, Corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters tor advice must be addressed. Schenck’s medicines are sold by all druggists. PUBLIC^EPORT —OF A— POLICEMAN. I have not enjoyed good health ter several years past, yet have not allowed it to interfere with my labor. Every one belonging to the la boring class knows the inconvenience of being obliged to labor when the body, from debility almost refuses to perform its daily task. I never was a believer in dosing with medicines ; but having heard the Vegetink spoken of so highly, was deiermined to try it, and shall never regret that determination. Asa tonic (which every one needs at some time) it surpasses anything I ever heard of. It invigorates the whole system; it is a great cleanser and purifier of the blood. There are many of my acquaintances who have taken it, and all unite iu praise of its satisfactory effect Especial among the aged class of people, it imparts to them the odc thing most needful in old age—nights of calm, sweet repose, thereby strengthening the mind as well as the body. One aged lady, who has been suffering through life from Scrofula, and has become blind from its effects, having tried many remedies with no fa vorable result, was induced by friends to try the Vegetine. After taking a few bottles, she ob tained such great relief that she expressed a wish for her sight, that she might be able to look upon the man who sent her such a blessing. Yours respectfully, C. P. H. HODGE, Police Officer, Station 6. Boston, Mass., Mar 9, 1871. ISEAR TFid LT I s II AY E 55. St. Paul, Aug. 22, 1864. H R. Stevens, Esq. : Dear Sir—l should be wanting in gratitude, if I tailed to Acknowledge what the Veoetine has done for me. I was at tacked about eleven months since with Bron chitis, which settled into Consumption. I had night sweats and fever chills ; was distressed for breath and frequently spit blood ; was all ema ciated, very weak, and sc low that my friends thought ray case hopeless. I was advised to make a trial of the Vegetine, which, under the providence of God, has cured me. That he may bless the use of your medi cine te others as he has to me, and that his di vine grace may attend you, is the heartfelt prayer of your admiring, humble servant, BENJ AMIN PETTINGILL. P. S.—Mine is but one among the many cures vour medicine has effected in this place. B. P. MAKE IT PUBLIC. South Boston, Feb, 9,18 A" H. R. Stevens : Dear Sir—l have beard from very many sources of the great success of Vegk tins in case of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Catarrh, and other diseases of kin dred nature. I make no hesitation in saying that I know Vegetine to be the most reliable remedy for Catarrh and General Debility. My wife has been troubled with Catarrh for many years, and at times very badly. She has thoioughly tiied every supposed remedy that we could hear of and with all this has for several j-ears been gradually growing worse, and the discharge from the head wss excessivo and very offensive. She was in this condition when she comenced to take Vevetink ; I could see that she was im proving on the second bottle. She continued taking the Vegetine until she had used from twelve to fifteen bottles. I am now happy in informing you and the public (if you choose to make it public) that she is entirely cured, and Vegetine accomplished the cure after nothing else would. Hence I leel justified in saying that Vegetine is the most reliable remedy,and wonld advise all suffering humanity to try it, for I be lieve it to be a good, honest, vegetable medicine, and I shall not hesitate to recommend it. I am, &c , respectfully, L. C. CAIIDELL, Store 451 Broadway. Vegetine acts directly upon the causes of these complaints. It invigorates and strengthens the whole system, acts upon the secretive organs, allays inflammation, cleanses and cures ulcera tion, cures constipation, and regulates the bow els. Mas Entirely Csared Me. Boston, October. 1870. 11. R. Stevens, Esq. : Dear Sir—My daugh ter, after ha <ing a severe attack of whooping cough, was left iu a feeble state ot health. Be ing advised by a friend, sha tried the Vegetine, and after using a few bottles was |fully restored to health. I have been a great sufferer from Rhematism. I have taken several bottles of the Vegetine for this complaint, and am happy to say that it has entirely cured me. I have recommended the Vegetine to others with the same good results. It is a great cleanser and purifier of the blood; it is pleasant to take ; and I can cheerfully recom mend it. JAMES MORSE, Athens Street. Vegotine is Sold by all Druggists, and Healers Everywhere.
