Standing Candidates.
Several clays ago the Atlanta Herald
advertised that Ben. Hill would stand for
Congress in the Ninth District. But the
people of the Ninth District don't seem
to appreciate the Herald's generosity
worth a cent. The enthusiasm with which
they have received the announcement that
Mr. Hill will consent to represent them
in Congress was of the coldest kind at the
beginning, and has sunk below zero.—
Standing candidates won't do at this
time—the people want one that can rim.
If the Herald had nominated that Atlan
ta policeman that made such good time
when 11 ie light between Chisholm and
Bedell was going on, he might have done
better than Ben Hill. It is now very evi
dent if Mr. Hill stands in the Ninth Dis
trict he will have to stand alone. The
question now arises what will the Herald
do with Mr. Hill. After having advertised
that he will stand in the Ninth District,
will he withdraw him and tnra him out
to gTass, or will lie stand him in some
other District ? Col. Styles seems anxious
to borrow him to stand in the Second
District If the Herald can do no hotter
he can lend him to Col. Styles of the
Albany News, and let him stand in the
Second District.
The Political Vide Turning.
The recent elections show very plainly
that the Bepublican party, in a great por
tion of the United States, is crumbling
and felling to pieces, whilst the Demo
cracy, although frequently pronounced
dead and buried, has bursted the tomb,*
and bids fair to become a very active and
troublesome ghost at the next election,
and one that will not down at the bidding
of the Grant administration. In the late
election in New Hampshire, there appears
to be no election of Governor by the
people, because the Constitution of that
State requires a majority of all the votes
cast to elect, and there being three can
didates in the field, neither had a majori
ty of all the votes. But Weston, the
Democratic candidate, has a considerable
majority over the Radical candidate, and
as a majority of the legislature are said
to be Democrats, Weston will in nil prob
ability be elected by the legislature. In
the municipal elections in the States of
New York and New Jersey, the Democrats
made considerable gains. .VII over the

the General Assembly, at its recent session,
refused to abolish the Medical Board of

Mr. Sumner’s last day in the Senate
was Tuesday, the 10th. At - o’clock in
the afternoon he left his accustomed chair
in the Chamber mid took one beside that
of Sargent, of California. He inquired
of Mr. Sargent, who like himself, had ta
ken a prominent part in the opposition to
the Centennial bill, whether he had re-
the statute will allow them to do so, and * ■
it is of course the duty of all honorable
and legally authorized practitioners of
medicine, as well as the duty of our peo
ple generally, to sustain the efforts of the
Board to perform their legal functions.
I earnestly hope that the members of the
Board will diligently and faithfully carry
ont the provisions of the law under which
they are acting. No opposition or macli&
nation on the part of unqualified pretend
era and unscrupulous enemies of the law
should influence them in the least in the
discharge of their sacred duties. Let
them bear in mind that the plaudit of ev
erv honorable member of the profession
is given to their onerous work, an \ that
the "latitude of the people, in whose be
half thrv are acting, will not be with
held.
The members of the Board are well
known as large minded, thoroughly edu
cated and influential men—physicians
honored at home and abroad for their high
standing in the Healing Art, and the au
thoritative weight of their opinions. Such
men cannot be swerved from the path of
dutv or injured by the aspersions of mer
cenary pretenders or incompetent char
latans. I am also glad to notice that the
Board, actuated by their usual attention
to tbe public welfare, have determined to
extend the time of their session until
June. 1st, for the purpose of examining
non graduates, physicians and druggists,
and to give license to such as have gradu
ated iu regularly chartered institutions.
Every licentiate should inform such of his
conferees ns have not asyet complied with

Macon, Ga., March 6tli, 1874.
Messrs. EditorsSince my last, Ma
eon has given birth to a sad and heart
rending tragedy. 1 will not state the
be turning and the Radicals arc fast
losing the hold which they once had upon
the country, and Democratic men and
measures are fast gaining the ascendency.
But wo fear the prospects of the Demo
cracy at the South are not so bright. Too
many of our Southern Congressmen
defiled their hands with the back pay
salary grab. In Virginia and Georgia,
the two leading Democratic Southern
States the Democratic politicians seem
too anxious to make terms with the
Radicals and to toady Gen. Grant, and
the legisle .ires of both these States have
greatly disappointed public expectation,
ho that the people at the South are fast
becoming disgusted with their own poli
ticians, too many of ihem showing an
itching palm.
Corruption in Pubiic Officers.
Almost every day some new phase of
official corruption is exposed. Every de
partment of the government has become
tainted. Last winter a great part of the
time of Congress was spent in the vain
attempt to white wash and cover up the
bribery, fraud and stealings of prominent
Senators and members of Congress. This
winter the stealings of the Attorney Gen.
eral and other members of the Cabinet
have been ventilated. The gross frauds
practiced iu some of the custom houses
by means of spies and informers, by
which the government has been defrauded
of millions in the shape of moieties, and
the custom house officials, and their con
venient and unscrupulous allies, the spies
and informers enriched to the same extent,
whilst merchants and importers have been
ruined in their character and business by
this nefarious system of espoinage and
corruption. Even the Judiciary have not
escaped the taint of corruption, but at
this very time no less than three U. S.
Judges are on trial for impeachment.—
Verily, the ancient Jewish nation, accord
ing to the Prophet Jeremiah must have been
a type of our present government Under
inspiration from on high the Prophet de
clared: “The whole head is sick, the
heart is faint, and from the crown of the
head to the soles of the feet the whole body
politic was one mass of corruption.” How
well this disgusting picture suits the pres
ent condition of our own government let
those who have been in Washington the
two last winters decide.
both through the mails and by express.—
He seemed considerably annoyed by these
insults, and Mr. Sargent therefore turned
the conversation to the resolutions of tin
Massachusetts Legislature rescinding iti
censure of Sumner, and he expressed
liimself greatly pleased with this action.
An hour or more afterwards Mr. Sum
ner called Senator Ferry, of Connecticut,
aside to a seat on a sola in the Senate
Chamber, and talked with him as he had
frequently done before in regard to then
respective states of ill health, both result
ing from an affection of the spinal chord.
He told Mr. Ferry that he suffered so
much from his heart the night previous
that ho had sent for his physician to ob
tain some relief by an injection of mor
phine under the skin. He asked Mr. Fer
ry's opinion of such hypcrdermic injec
tions, and from time to time complained
of severe pain while they were talking.—
Finally, a little before 4 o’clock, Mr. Sum
ner took his overcoat and went home, his
last words in the Senate Chamber having
been uttered in the conversation w ith
Mr. Ferry.
Many of Air. Sumner's friends express
ed their apprehension that ho was over
doing his strength in these efforts. It is
regarded as a remarkable and fortunate
coincidence that the resolution of the
Massachusetts Legislature rescinding its
vote of censure upon Mr. Sumner should
have l>een presented and read in the Sen
ate before he left it on the last day of his
presence in the chamber as a member cf
that body.
On Wednesday morning it was an
nounced that. Mr. Sumner had passed a
quiet night under the influence of a cuta
neous injection of morphine. Physicians
had been summoned at nine o'clock in
the previous evening and had found him
laboring under another attack of his old
disease—angina pectoris. At 9 o’clock
in the morning he was still sleeping,
without material cliange. Later in the
morning, the following announcements
were made:
Senator Sumner does not seem to suf
fer anv pain, being under the influence of
strong opiates ; but liis extremities are
very cold, and physicians do not think
their natural warmth can be restored. An
immense number of anxious visitors, in - j
eluding a great many colored people, have
Grut and Batter.
j The disturbing causes which during
it he last two years have threatened to di
i vide, if not to disrupt, the Republican
party in Massachusetts, are again revived
in a new and intense form. Twice have
conventions fresh from the people squelch
ed the selfish ambition »nd presumptuous
pretensions of the maker of this discord.
But hr will not stay bottled up.
Transferring his operations from Mas
sachusetts to Washington, wnercheisbct
ter fitted to shine, Gen. Butler has sue
seeded in forming n close alliance witL
3en, Grant, and lias become the dom
inant influence at the White House. Hit
word is the law, and his wish the govern

bulk of the respectable delegation iu the
House count for nothing as against hit
lemands. The President turns his bad

lonsitteraiions it is doubly offensive.

){ foremost importance is the Collector o
Customs at Boston. It has always beer
filled by an eminent man in the various
manges of par ties. Suddenly, and to th
i surprise of the whole community, an ob
scuropolitician, w ithout commercial train
ing or standing, and wholly unknown ex
cept as an instrument of Butler, is
nominated to this responsible place by
the President
The press with one voice and unusual
vigor protest against the appointment as
not fit to be niAde. The merchants of
Boston unite earnestly and condemn it as
a wrong; and finally the Board of Trade
send a most influential delegation to
Washington to confer with the President
in person iu the hope of inducing him to
reconsider this act.
Gen Grant’s answer to all this opposi
tion is a ilirect insult; for he has said
that the objections to Simmons are main
ly founded upon hostility to Butler. He
has wilfully closed hi sears to the reasons
of unfitness which have been addressed to
him from ell quarters, and to tho conse
quenees that must attend the confirma

given at full length m tho Telegraph &

description of what came under my ob
servation, which, however, is not intend
ed to throw any light upon the occurrence.
On Monday afternoon of last week,
while the writer was watching the child
ish sport of two little friends attempting
to fly their kite, his attention was at
tracted for a moment toward the resi
dence of Mr. Cherry, the home of the
parents of the unfortunate young man
connected with the tragedy above alluded
to. Mr. Cherry lives about two hundred
yards distant from the students hall, to
wards the southern point of the com
pass.
iornig Mr Cherry, in full uniform,
which fit him handsomely a caeite ad
calceiu was leaving home to join his
company which was to celebrate the birth
day of Washington that afternoon.
'The day was pleasant, although a live
ly breeze/ with increasing energy, was
now rigorously fanning the spectators
along as they* made their way to the
parade ground.
The family were assembled on the pi
partially concealed by the ornament
al Bhrubs in the yard, watching him with
that pride which is only to be realized in
a family circle. Occasionally he would
look back as if to show his appreciation
of their animated feelings, which evident
ly afforded him much satisfaction. Their
eyes continued to follow him until dis
tance and intervening objects hid him
from view. It was a scene natural to any
home, and not to be one which forbids
the eye of curiosity, it was one which
developed much of'the internal sentiment
of a dear home.
Last Tuesday morning, tho writer
observed him leaving home again, chess
ed this time, in a neat business suit Ho
seemed cheerful and hopeful of the future;
indeed, tho caresses of affectionate ones
may have just gladdened his heart No
eyes were seen watching him as he made
his way across Tattnall square that mem
orable morning; not that home ones
were less interested in him, but there was
no novelty connected with his departure,
nor did there any omens forbode that
something tragical, soul withering, was
soon to startle every fountain of sympa
thy, and came heart crushing grief in their
bosoms. Between eleven and twelve he
was brought back mortally wounded.
During the afternoon, friends aud neigh
bors hastened to see him. Next morning
gloom seemed to hang its shroud of sad
ness about the dwelling; every one moved
with thoughtful step, that had occasion to
come out into the yard. Soon the sad
news came, he died during the night
Yesterday about 10 a. m. the hearse
and ft large number of vehicles collected
in front of the gate. In a short time
about half a dozen of the Macon Volun
teers appeared bearing the corpse, which
they placed in the hearse. Four of them
in full uniform arranged themselves two
on each side. Two more, dressed in black,
stood each in rear of the half files. The
procession was then formed, and they
moved slowly, sadly and tearfully along
tho same street where about a week bo-
fore eyes lit with pleasure watched his
soldierly tread.
I would not attempt, if I could, to por
tray the feelings of tho bereaved. Indeed
who can utter or express the grief of a
fond parent suddenly bereft of a son on
whom the nourishing cares of infancy had
been spent only to rear him for an un

Senator Sumner died at a quarter to 3.
He passed away calmly, without a «trug-

his intellect seemed to l>e much clearer,
and he was perfectly conscious to the last.
This condition was doubtless the result
of his recovery from the eflects of the

O! Lord,* our God, we come into this
place to deplore before Thee the spirit of
lying which is abroad, and we beseech
Thee to rebuke the giant demon of slan
der that stalks forth, casting upon all the
earth a fearful shadow. Paralyze the
hand that writes the willful detraction.
Palsy the tongue that utters wanton cal
umny, the things which tend to under
mine all confidence in the good, and to
given malignant power to all tie:- bad
elements for the demoralization and do
straction of human society. Let Thy
flaming spirit take vengeance Upon tho
false accuser, end consume this spirit of
ruin from all of tho land. This we ask
pens, cauliflower, cabbages,
raddishes, turnips, beets, lettuce, carrots,
and all vegetables of the season, includ
ing mocking birds and peacock brains,
are said to be abundant in and around
Ocala.
Oolokkd Hotel—A colored citizen of
Ocala is building a hotel in that place,
which is to be kept for the exclusive
accommodation of colored people. The
Banner says “this is a move iu the right
direction, and one which we hope will be
liberally patronized.”
It is said that the Ocklawaha river is
literally alive with alligators, averaging
iu length from tliree to fifteen feet, and
unless you hit iu certain places, a shot
from a rifle or musket has no other
effect than to cause them to produce
a some-what lively commotion of the wa
ters.
Cork Tift* and Pepper Bush.—A lady
in Lake City has growing in hex garden
a genuine cork tree 30 feet high, the bark
on which is sufficiently thick to make bot
tle corks. There is also in the same gar
den a genuine black .pepper bush which
yields regularly a full crop of the pepper
berries.
Orange Blossoms.—The Flori
dian notices that most of the orange
trees in and around the city are now
loaded with blossoms. One citizen has
a tree in his yard which has l>ome no fruit
for several years being now in full
bloom.
The Ocala Banner reports a fresh out
break of the orange fever in that county,
and the establishment of many new
groves.
Fi8ii Trade.—The
Fernaudina Obscr-
authori
ties in making arrangements for the fun
eral ceremonies, and .such other tokens of
respect as are due to the purity of his
character and gitatness of his public ser
vices.
SUMNER’S SUCCESSOR.
Boston, March 12.—Among the names
most prominently mentioned as Stunner’s
probable successors arc: Hon. Henry L.
L. Dawes. Ex-Gov. A. H. Bullock, Hon.
E. It. Hour, Ex Gov. John H. Clifford,
Gov. Washbume, Gen. Banks, Gen. But

will probably take place on the 26th inBt.
The Moiety Fund.
C ingress has l»een investigating the
moiety business, by which merchants, ig
norant of the complicated revenues of the
government, have been blackmailed to an
alarming extent by spies and informers.
A call upon the Secretary of the Treas
ury ior a report showing the amount of
fines and penalties collected for alleged
violations of the revenue laws in New
York and Boston from March 1869, to
Novemlter 1873. presents an astounding
array of figures and facts which no degree
of whitewashing can overcome. It seems
that three thousand five hundred cases
have been ’’compromised” upon the pay
ment of fines, the gross amount of which
was $4,862,484, and about one half of
which went into the pockets of the in
formers and the custom house officials.—
During the four years the collector re
ceived for his individual share §407,245,the
naval officer $324,058, the surveyor $391,-
213, the informers $713,218.
This amount was extorted from the
Tbe Rani mail Atlanta Basinas
College.
This institution lias achieved a success j
which is unparalleled in the history of i
Commercial Colleges. Starting in Atlanta J
Ga., May 9th, 1871, with four students, it i
has already sent out to the business world *
nearly THREE HUNDRED STUDENTS j
to attest its superior merits. The secret
of its wonderful success is, 1st. it is the
only College in the South that is conduc
ted on the Actual Business Plan. 2nd, it
keeps nn, to the letter of its advertise
ments; 3d. it is conducted by men who
have had years of experience as practical
accounts, business men and teachers. The
total cost for a full course, including
board, washing,tuition, books and station
ery, will not exceed $130. For specimens

The comments of the New \ork Even
ing Post are such as, we think, will meet
with general approval:
The Chaplain of the United States
Senate is no doubt a very intelligent and
estimable person, but in our judgement
he shows his unwisdom when he inter
mingles with his petitions to God brief
declamations on current political affairs.
We believe in giving preachers of the
Gospel the largest liberty in the conduct
of their office, and are aware that as the
rule this liberty has been exercised with
such discretion as to make the pulpit an
invaluable instruments in the defense of
civil liberty and in the maintenance of
republican institutions. But we believe
that a speaker ought always to address
liia audience. It was said on a certain
occasion of a gentleman that he made the
most eloquent prayer ever offered to a
Boston audience. With equal force it
might be said of the Chaplain of the
United States Senate that he offers
prayers which give the greatest satisfac
tion to those members of tho ruling poli
tical party whose names, for various
causes, arc just now unpleasantly promi
nont. But in both instances God ap
pears to be left out of the account, and
m the latter instanco the Senators in the
opposition are forced to listen to apolitical
argumont to which they have no chance to
reply. Thus God is slighted, an injus
tice is done to * very respectable number
of gentlemen, and religion is brought into
disrepute. It appears to us that the
Chaplain of the U. States Senate ought to
mftlfft an effort to pray to God, even if
in his opinion, as a citizen, the “spirit of
lying” ie abroad, and the “giant demon of
4«vW stalks forth, casting upon all the
earth a fearful shadow." The Court of
Heayto is not the proper tribunal for
the trail of cases of slander.
The Ways and MeanB Committee at
Washington are still engaged in hearing
the testimony of merchants as to the re
venue spies and moities. A most op
pressive iniquitous state of things
has been brought to the fell light of day,
and it is arid that even the committee are
surprised and startled, and it takes a
great deal to surprise and startle such a
body. ,

Raising Money for Religious Purposes.
—An English traveller lectured before a
scientific society in London recently, and
described the Chinese method of raising
money for the building or repairing of
temples, as follows: “In the streets of
Pekin I one day found a man in a sort of
wooden-box. Large, nails had been driv
en into it, so that their points projected
through. This prevented the man from
leaning against the sides, and the only
rest he had was from sitting on a board
within. He was a monk, and never seemed
to sleep, for he had a string with which
he night and day sounded a large, sonor
ous bell every few minutes, as a sort of
advertisement for his purpose. This was
♦W the benevolent should come forward
with money. Each nail represented a
sum. When any one paid that ram his
name was stuck up on a fait of paper, and
the nail was pulled out, making the box
more comfortable fra the hermit within.
All the nails represented the naocesey a
amount for the jrrirar of a temple which
was doee behind. This is a common pro
ceeding for raising the wind for boob par-
poses. I was told that this monk rad

Thirty years is certainly long enough

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 in almost every coun

known to be prized, and its reputation as
a Medicine of Great Virtue, is fully and
permanently established. It is the great
Family Medicine of the age. Taken in
ternally, it cures dysentery, cholera, diar
rhoea, cramp and pain in the stomach,
bowel complaint, Painters’ colic, liver

externally, it cures bruises. Boils, felons,
