MILLED CtEVXLLE, GA
Wednesday, November 22, 1873.
It is with pleasure that we .are able
to announce to our community and
friends, that the Synod of Georgia has
taken definite action in regard to the
organizition of a first-class school at
Midway. We all remember the zeal
and earnestness of cur beloved friend,
Rev. C. W. Lane, and feel grateful to
him for lis untiling effoits. One year
ago, when the Synod met in Albany,
he introduced a series of resolutions
touching the organization of this Higl
School; which were placed in the hands
of a committee, of which he was
member. That committee submitted
to the Synod their report which was
passed. We publish in full the action
of the Synod :
The committee appointed at the last
meeting of the Synod to digest and
report to the Synod a plan for the en-
A Convention to Amend the Consti-
stitution.
In another place in this issue may
be found the proceedings of a meet
ing of the citizens of Polk county in
favor of a convention to amend our
present carpetbng-scalawag-negro Con
stitution. Among other things they
recommend this condition in the call
of the convention, that the delegates
be allowed three dollars a day pay.—
In commenting upon the meeting the
Atlanta Constitution speaks thusly :
It strikes us that these are hard times to be talking
of the great expense of conventions. The State is lit
tle able to undertake such a costly luxury, to preveut
public aid to corporations, when such a policy is prnc
tically dead, and when such a convention would be
the very means of largely augmenting the public debt.
Afl to the usury law, money is scarce enough with
the door open to come in free. What would it be if
money was by law excluded from coming by a forced
rate of low interest, far under what money is worth by
the controlling law of supply and demand,
Let us be wise aud cautious. Let us be slow in tinker
ing with the fundamental law. Let us practice true
economy. Let us patiently wait for firs great fiuan
cial crisis to pass over. Y\ e have got, as individuals
aud as a people, enough to do to deal with practical
and present emergencies without tackling costly spec
ulative questions that are not troubling ns.
It will be time enough to patch up Constitutions when
the great public prosperity gets out of the mire ami
Hungs are easy again. jth cotton far below a paying
price, with general stagnation o! industries all over the
nation, with a winter of want and distress threatening
the land, it seems to us that we cannot well afford to
be agitating costly conventions that will offer no rem
edy for pressing and immediate evils.
The Constitution professes to object
to a convention to amend the Constitu
tion of Georgia on account of the ex-
pense. This reminds us of the'farmer s hall be members of the Presbyterian
who opposed mending a rent in his Church in the United States,

more than ten days or two weeks in j 44If. That the arrangement of the
session to do all that is necessary, and i coursc 0 f instruction, the plan for se
at three dollars a day the convention j cul inw an endowment and fitting up
dowment and organization at Midway,
near Milledgeville, of such an academy
or school as will best meet our educa
tional wants at present, respectfully
submit the following report:
Inasmuch as many of the Synod are
opposed to the ecclesiastical control
of educational institutions, your com
mittee have sought to shape the plan
about to be submitted so as to place
the school at Midway entirely in the
hands of its Trustees, so soon as they
can organize, giving the moral support
and commendation of the Synod to the
enterprise.
We recommend, 1st., That the Sy
nod appoint Col. Wm. McKinley, Dr.
W. II. Hall, E. H. Ramsey, Esq., Rev.
Geo. T. Goetchius, Col. W. T. Young,
Rev. Robert Irwine, D. D., Rev. J. S.
R. Ax.son, D. D., Hon. Clifford Ander
son, Rev. F. Jacobs, D. D., Rev. J. H-
Nall and Rev. C. W. Lane, as aBoard
of Trustees for the Institution at Mid
way, and that the name of the said In
stitution be the “Talmage School.”
2d. That the Trustees now appoint
ed have power to fill all vacancies that
may occur in this body—the only con
dition being that the Trustees elected
0«a. Toombs’ Address at Washing
ton, Oa.
On Tuesday, at noon, by request of
citizens, Gen. Toombs addressed u
crowded Court House on the state ol
tho country. He reviewed the cor
ruption and fraud practiced upon the
people by the State and Federal Gov
ernments; advised the calling of a
State Convention, the abrogation ot
the present Constitution and the re
vision and adoption of the old on .
Thought the present term of office al
lowed the Executive, the Judiciary
and members of the Legislature was
all wrong. Experience had proven
that it would not do to trust men in
office so long. The very best men
should be sent to the Legislature and
if unfaithful to the interests of their
constituents, they should be made a-
fraid to comeback. Planters had la
bored hard for the last seven years;
made over three hundred millions of
dollars, all of which had gone to build
up the cities and enrich the people
who had sought their degradation and
run. Divine Providence had blessed
them with the greatest country in the
world, and for four years out of seven
with the finest crops he had ever seen,
yet they were transferring these bless
ings to the East and the West. It he
did not believe that such was a per
version of the design of Prov
idence, he would believe there
was was no God at all. The only way
to keep men in this country from mak
ing money and getting rich was to
keep them buying their own supplies.
He had never known a man in Wilkes
county, who raised his own meat and
bread, that did not get rich, and re
ferred to a number of living witnesses
for truth of the assertion.—Some told
him they couldn’t raise hogs; the ne
groes would steal them. Said this
was not true. They didn’t steal his
hogs, nor those of other men who
were raising them. Why not raise
horses; were they afraid negroes would
steal the colts? Thought if they did
they couldn’t keep them. The Yank
ees stole two from him three times
and they got away and come back
every time.
would not cost more than ten or twelve
thousand dollars. One object of the
convention is to restrict the pay of mem
bers of the Legislature to five or six
dollars a day, and to restrict the amount
paid for clerk hire to a reasonable sum.
By the two amendments the State
would save more than four times the
cost of a convention in one session of
the Legislature. But we do not sup
pose the expense is the only or the
main reason why the Atlanta Constiu-
tion opposes a convention and a new
constitution. The editors of the Con
stitution probably believe if a conven
tion should be called and a new oon-
stitution formed, that the Capital will
be restored to Milledgeville, where it
was placed and permanently located
by the honest tax payers of Georgia.
“ That is what ails Hannah /” Now we
admit that might be one of the results
of a convention, and we believe that
full four-fifths of the people of Geor
gia want that very thing done, and if
only a majority want it done it is their
right to have it done. If that is done,
it strikes u9 that the State in a few
years will save millions by bringing
her legislation back to the old stand
ard of time and expense, which pre
vailed before legislation was done in
Atlanta. Then the people would learn
that the ten or twelve thousand dol
lars spent in calling a convention of
the people was money well laid out.
This outcry about the cost of a con
vention and economy is an old device
to hide selfishness. We read in the
Good Book that on a certain time a wo
man came into the room where the
Saviour sat and annointed his head with
precious ointment But a certain dis
ciple named Judas Iscariot objected on
account of the expense, and asked il
that ointment could not have been sold
for a large amount and the money giv
en to the poor; not that he cared for
the poor, but he wanted the money
himself.
It seemed to strike Judas Iscariot that
this was no time to be indulging in
luxuries, and he suggested that, the
precious ointment be sold and the mon
ey put in his little lag. The cloak of
economy like the cloak of charify, of
ten covers a multitude of sins.
the buildings, the selection of teachers,
the determination of the time when
it will be proper to open the school, be
left to the determination of the Board.
5th. That the Trustees have full
power to sell lots from the land, and
any buildings upon the school proper
ty not needed for the use of the Inst!
tution.
Cith. That the Board shall report an
nually to the donors of funds, the Btate
of the same and of the Institution.
7th. That Messrs. Josiah Sibley,
John Craig, and C. A. Rowland, of
Augusta, Ga., be appointed a commit
tee to receive and invest any funds
that may be given for the endowment
of the “ Talmage School.”
Sth. That the sons of ministers and
candidates for the ministry shall enjoy
the benefits of the “ Talmage School”
free of charge for tuition.
nth. That the only power retained by
the Synod over the institution afterit is
established, shall be the power to ap
point a new Board of Trustees, should
the Board at any time become extinct,
and a veto power over the election of
instructors deemed by the Synod un
fitted from religious opinions or other
wise to carry out the designs of the
Institution.
1 Oth. That the Trustees in adjusting
the details connected with the school,
take this action of the Synod as their
guide, and conform to the rules and
principles herein set forth.
The November Elections.
The October elections showed very
plainly that the tide had turned, and
was setting strongly against the Ad
ministration. The November elections
indicate the coming of a flood which
will sweep all before it. In every
State where elections have been held,
have been great Democratic gains.—
In old Virginia the Democracy have
swept the State, and elected their
whole ticket by a large majority. They
will have a large majority in both
branches of the Legislature, which will
insure a Democratic Ur S. Senator.—
In Maryland also the Democracy have
succeeded by a large majority, aud in
is Responsible for the Hard (the great empire State oi New York
the Democracy have elected their State
ticket by a handsome majority, but the
Legislature is still in doubt. In Wis
consin the people’s ticket is elected
against the regular Republican ticket,
and in Kansas the Reformers have
majority in the Legislature, which in
sures a conservative for Senator, in the
place of Caldwell, Radical; and even
in old Massachusetts, Washburn, the
Republican candidate, has been elected
by a small majority, with large Dem
ocratic gains in both branches of the
Legislature. Three members of Con
gress have been elected to fill vacan
cies: Neasmith, Democrat, in Oregon,
Comstock, Democrat, in the Fifth Dis
trict of Michigan in the place of a
Radical, and S. S. Cox, Democrat, in
New York, in place of James Brooks,
dead. Had elections for Congressmen
been held this fall, iu all probability
there would have been a large majori
ty of Democrats elected.
A Word to t’lnnlfr*.
The prospect does not brighten much. New foil,
nres continue to agitate country, many cotton factories
are stopping altogether and others working on half
time, Aud. although the wise men have suggested
muuy remedies nothing has been found to raise the
pressure, and we greatly fear the people will have to
"tight it out on this line” all Winter. Bat Debt is
the mounter that must he killed, or at least disabled.
No use to attempt to hide from him, be will find you.
The best way is to face him. Roll out yonr cotton bags.
Now is probably as good a chance to kill Debt with
Cotton as there will be this winter. Indeed thMT
seems small hone for better prices before next plant
ing time- Ttie bent, relief for the country is for every
body to pay their debts as soon as possible, ft ia dot
the first lime cotton has deceived the plantar, bat we
hope it will be the last. The farmers are now in a
condition to understand each other and have unity of
action, and it is hoped, if in the future financial pres
sures occur on accouutof extravaganca and debt the
farmers will be masters of situation, that ia ont of
debt.
Who
Times ?
From every quarter and in every
State in the Union, we hear of banks
suspending, factories stopping work,
and thousands and tens of thousands
being thrown out of employment.—
Poverty anddistresseverywhere broods
over the land. What has caused all of
this distress? The crops have not
been cut off; no great Providential dis
aster has befallen the country. Bu
all of these calamities have befallen us
by the corruption and mismanagement
of our rulers. When the wicked rule,
the people mourn. A corrupt and
wicked majority in Congress encour
aged rash speculation by giving boun
ties of land and money to the most
wild and visionary railroad projects
ever proposed to a sane community.
These bounties have been obtained by
bribery and corruption, and when the
corruption was shown and proven the
guilty were not punished. The col
lectors of the revenue and others in
high position, when proven corrupt
and dishonest, were not punished or
driven from office. The Republican
party has had possession of the Gov
ernment for twelve years, and is there
fore responsible lor all of these abuses,
and have brought these calamities up
on the country. Can they cure the
evils they have produced ? Can they
extricate the country from the misfor
tunes they have brought upon it? We
shall see.
We sometimes have occasion to
break a lance with the conductors of
the Atlanta Herald, but we most cor
dially agree with them in wishing that
Senator A. G. Thurman of Ohio may
be our next President, and we hope
the Democracy all over the United
StAtftg mav work for that object. Inha

Folk County Calls for a Few Consti
tution.
At a large meeting of the citizens of
Polk.county, held at Cedar Town last
Friday, Judge Wright, of addressed
the sovereigns, and the following re
solutions were adopted:
Resolved 1st, That in the opinion of
this primary assembly, the present
constitution of tlie* State of Georgia
does not truly represent the public
sentiment of her people.
Resolved 2d. Thar, we do earnestly
request the nrxtsession of the Legisla
ture to call a convention for the pur
pose of remodeling said constitution.
And especially do we believe the State
should be prohibited from the loan of
its credit to either persons or corpora
tions, from any augmentation of its
prestnt indebtedness, except for the
necessary expenses of government.
That a like prohibition should be
placed upon town and city corpora
tions, and that they should be confined
to the police of their respective towns
and cities
Resolved 3d, That should the Le
gislature call such convention, we
recommend the pay of its members do
not exceed three dollars per day, to be
incorporated in the act calling said
convention.
Resolved 4th, That this meeting of
a portion of the citizens of Polk county
are opposed to the repeal of the us
ury laws, and recommend that they
be re-enaefed with the penalty of the
loss of both principal and iuterest,
and such further penalties as will
efficiently prevent the loan of money
at a rate of interest beyond what can
be paid by the agricultural, mechani
cal and laboring classes, consistent
with a reasonable prosperity.
Grangers’ Mass Convention.—It
will be seen by a notice published in
the papers by Mr. E. Taylor, secre
tary of the State Grange, that a mass
meeting of Patrons of Husbandry in
the Cotton States will be held in At
lanta on the 25th instant, to devise
some measures looking to self-protec
tion. Papers friendly to the Order are
requested to give currency to the no
tice.
“Speaking of extravagance in dress,”
writes a traveler. “ the most extensive
ly dressed man I ever saw’ was an Afri
can chi* f on the Gold Coast. His wife
had annointed him thoroughly with
palm oil, and then powdered him from
head to foot with gold dust. You nev
er saw in your life a man got up so
‘ utterly regardless of expense.’”
Living Adverlieemenle.
A medicine that lias done more than all the prescrip
tions of the pharmacopeia to protect the human sys
tem against the bodily ills superinduced by unhealthy
surroundings, is certainly worthy of universal couli
deuce. ! t is mainly on account ot its extraordinary pre
ventive properties that Hostettcr’s Stomach Bitters is
so exceedingly popular in localities subject to the visi
tation of miasmatic fevers and other diseases pro
duced by empoisoned air. A family that has escaped
sickness during a sickly season inconsequence of us
ing the Bitters as a safeguard, is a living advertise
ment of the virtues of the preparation. The whole
neighborhood realize the fact. “I couldn’t have be
lieved it,” says one. ‘‘I scarcely credited the adver
tisements; but one must believe what one sees,” says
another, “It is the very thing we need in this un
wholesome section of country,” remarks a third. And
the result is that the instinct of self-defence, the
first law of nature, induces three fourths of that com
munity to obtain a supply of the great vegetable anti
dote before the next sickly season sets in. In winter
when the system requires extra vigor and elasticity to
enable it to baffle the effects of damj) aud cold, the
Bitters will be found particularly serviceable. Rheu
matism will not be apt to fasten upon muscles aud
nerves that have been braced up by this excellent in-
vigorant and nervine; nor will the severities of the
season, which have such a disastrous effect on the pul
monary organs of the feeble and delicate, be likely
to exercise the same untoward influences in cases
where the stomach and the external surface of the
body (which always sympathizes with the digestive or
gans) have been toned and stimulated by a course of
the restorative. The fits of indigrstiou and irregulari
ties of the bowels which proceed from sudden changes
of weather may always be averted b^a timely use of

American Women in Europe.—I
would say to husbands and bridegrooms
coming to Europe, “leave your wives
at home.” In the matter of keeping
down expense, you’ll have your hands
full without them. You will at times
have them more than full. Alone,
you may be able to resist temptation,
but when you bring her with you, you
simply scuttle your financial craft at
the bottom, set it on fire atop, and
light your candles at either end. Mar
ried men have told me these things in
confidence. They say that once in
London or Paris, the woman’s financial
sense and prudence desert her entirely.
She runs mad—financially mad. What
she can’t spend she gives away to ser
vants, beggars, street musicians—any
body who is by to take the cash. To
let her out on Regent or Oxford streets
without a keeper is for her to return
in two hours without a shilling, and in
another hour a van drives up to your
lodging laden with her purchases.—
When buying goods palls she falls back
on charity, and wants to adopt an
English infant, with the mother in
cluded, no matter how difficult it may
be to find the father. Indeed, an un
certain paternity only renders the pro
tege more desirable and interesting.—

letin.
Death of Mrs. Lee.—Intelligence
has been received of the death of Airs.
Lee, widow of General Robt. E. Lee,
at Lexington, Virginia, on Wednesday,
the 5th inst. She has been an invalid
for some years, and the recent death
of her daughter bore heavily upon her
declining strength.
Mrs. Lee was the only daughter of
G. W. P. Custis, Esq,, of Arlington,
who was the youngest child of John
Paik Custis, a son of Mrs. Washing
ton by her first husband, and an aid-
de-camp to Genera! Washington at
the seige of Yorktown. His two
youngest children—one of them the
father ol Mrs. Lee—were adopted by
General Washington.
G* W. P. Custis was brought up
at Mount Vernon and remained a mem
ber of Washington's family until the
death of Mrs. Washington, when he
went to reside on the Arlington estate,
near Washington, which he had inheri
ted from his father, and where he had
erected the mansion know as the Ar
lington House. He was married in
early life to Miss Mary Lee Fitzhugh,
of Virginia, and left an only daughter,
who became the wife of General Rob
ert E. Lee.
The late Mrs. Lee was a lady of
exemplary conduct and unassuming
and gentle character. She was be
tween sixty and seventy years of age
at the time of her death.
Death of Gen W. J. Hardee
General W. J. Hardee died at Wy-
theville, Va, on the 6th inst,., whither
he had gone in search of health.
General Hardee was Georgia’s most
distinguished officer in the late war.
He was educated at West Point, and
was a thorough military man—had de
voted a whole lifetime to arms and tac
tics, but notwithstanding his early
training and subsequent association,
he was mild, meek, and modest as a
woman.
Though he lived to a ripe old age,
the whole country will mourn the loss
of a great soldier and pure patriot.—
Since the war, Gen. H. has devoted
his time and talents to planting in
Dalis county, Alabama, where he
owned a large farm, which he man
aged successfully. Last summer, in
wretched health, he went to West
Virginia to try the virtue of mountain
air and mineral water, but has never
been able to return borne. His body
has been carried to Selma, Ala., for
interment, where a monument will
doubtless be erected to his memory.
The Fashionable Scant Effect.—
The extremest phase of the fashionable
tcitnt effect was reached Sunday by a
lady who walked up Fifth avenue in a
pjyy blue camel’s-bair dress. Not a
pucker or a visible seam, or a particle
of trimming, broke up the beautiful
surface of that woman. She was an
unbending level, and how she got into
that straight-jacket of a dress I coudn t
imagine till I took a rear view of her
and found aho was buttoned up behind
from neck to hem. Two unobtrusive
box*plaits lurked in a shy way each
side the opening; otherwise that gar
ment looked like a bloated pantaloon-
v-outuy.

A Washington letter to the New
York Sun relates an incident connected
with the suspension of the First Na
tional Bank of the former city which
shows that a banking-house of the high
est pretensions at the Federal captial,
enjoying the special patronage of the
Administration, can sometimes stoop
to practices which are as discreditable,
as the tricks of a Peter Funk auction-
shop or an old-time wildcat bank. A
staff officer of the army went to the
First National Bank about noon on
day of its suspension, but before any
intimation had been gaven that it was
not perfectly sound, and deposited
about $5,000. The money was coun
ted and received, and the depositor con
gratulated himself that his money was
safely lodged in the keeping of those
renowned bankers the Cookes, who by
the extraordinary favor of several Ad
ministrations had amassed a fortune of
many millions out of nothing. The
officer went down the staircase, follow
ed by the janitor, who immediately be
gan to close the doors. The officer
asked why he did this, and the janitor
replied that he was ouly obeying or
ders. Alarmed by this sign, he return
ed up stairs, demanded his money, and
was answered, “It is too late.” The
Sun’s letter adds: “The lips of that
officer are sealed, but they may be o-
pened by a Congressional investiga
tion. To name him now would be to
invite the vengeance of his superiors.”
It is almost incredible that so palpable
a piece of sharp practice would be
perpetrated by the officers of one of
the most noted banking houses iu the
country and one of the national deposi
tories The officers knew perfectly
well at the time they received the $5,-
000 deposit that they were on the
very point of sutpending. They un
doubtedly knew that morning, and
the day before, that they would
close their doors on that day, and,
under these circumstances, but one
name will be universally applied to
the reception of the deposit at the
bank.—Courier-Journal.
Th3 Spragues-
Providence, Nov. 6.—The meeting
of the Sprague creditors reassembled
this afternoon, when the committee
appointed in the morning reported
that they had held a long interview
with the Messrs. Sprague and Hoyt.
The latter expressed every desire to
' give all power to the trustees to meet
the views of the creditors, and said
the deed to be given the creditors
should he submitted to the legal ad
visers of the creditors. The commit
tee had adopted a resolution that the
plan proposed was the best that could
be devised for the conversion of the
property and payment of the debts.
The committee suggested that Rufus
Waterman, Amos D. Lockwood and
George C. Myhlengall be appointed
trustees; that they have power to
employ counsel to draw up a deed for
the protection of creditors; also to
fill any vacancy in the board.
O’Howard, of the committee, made
a few remarks attesting to the willing
ness of the Spragues to do all in their
power for the creditors, and said that
the surrender of the property to the
control of the creditors was absolute
and complete. The report of the
committee was adopted, and a board
of trustees appointed. The commit
tee was continued and given full pow
ers, when the meeting adjourned. The
result of the meeting is regarded as
encouraging.

PAIN-KILLER,
And a:ter thirty years' trial, the “ Pain Killer” may
justly be styled the great medicine of the world, for
there is no region of the globe into which it has not
found its way, and none where it lias not been largely
and highly prized. Moreover, there is no climate to
which it lias not proved itself to he well adapted for
the cure of considerable variety of diseases -, it is ad
mirably suited for every race. It has lost none of its
good name by repeated trials, but continues to occupy
a prominent position in every medicine chest ; and is
still receiving the most unqualified testimonials to its
virtues, from persons of the highest character and re
sponsibility Physicians of the first respectability rec
ommend it as a most effectual preparation lor the ex
tinction of pain. It is not only the best remedy ever
known f< r bruises, cuts, burns, etc , but for Dysentery
or Cholei a, or any sort of bowel complaint, it is a rem
edv unsir passed for efficiency and rapidity of action.
In the great cities of India and other hot climates, it
has become the Standard Medicine for all such com
plaints, as well as for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
and other kindred disorders. For coughs and colds,
canker, asthma, and rheumatic difficulties, it lias been
proved by the most abundant and convincing testi
mony to be an invaluable medicine. No article ever
attaiued such unbounded popularity. As an external
aud internal medicine the Pain Killer stands unrivalled.
Thirty yeais are certainly a long time to prove the
efficiency of any medicine, and that the Pain Killer
is deserving of all its proprietors claim for it, is amply
proved by the unparalleled popularity it has attained.
It is a sure and effective remedy. It is sold iu almost
every country in the world, and is becoming more and
more popular every year. Its healing proper ies have
been fully tested, all over the world, and it needs only
to be known to be prized. Be sure you buy none
but the genuine, manufactured by Perry Davis & Son.

which makes superior meal, and can be attached to and run by the ordinary gin gearing, without expense above

“It is a source ot pleasure to me to recommend the ‘Coleman Corn and Wheat Mill.’ It is a perfect success.
Of all the economizing and labor saving machines that I have seen since the war, none come so near being
what they arc l ecommended to be as the Coleman Mill. It is simple in its constiuction, and can be attached to
the ordinary gin-gearing, and with two or four mules can grind from four to six bushels ofgood meal per hour.”

Out of Employment.—The worst
feature oi the panic at the North is
the turning out of factories thousands
of men and woman who depend on
their daily labor for their daily bread.
Had this thing happened at any other
season of the year, it would have been
more endurable. They might have
obtained other employment. But in
that inhospitable climate, out-door
work cannot now be resumed before
April. What are these 6tarviug thou
sands to do for bread, shelter and
clothing during the coming Winter?
The number is daily increasing, and
there is no telling when or v/here it
will stop. God pity the toiling poor
who are left without employment.
