Melville Bonham.
Our little city was gratified by two en
tertainments last week—on Thursday and
Friday evenings—given by the ‘-Prince
of Versatility”—as Melville Bonliam is
not inaptly termed. The audiences were
large, and were justly delighted with
Prof. B's. entertainments.
There is one feature in Prof. Bonham's
entertainments to wliich we would caU es
pecial attention. Far from being immod
est or immoral in tlie remotest degree, to
please a vulgar or vitiated public taste,
they possess a strongly maijked moral
tendency: nay, many of his magnificent
recitations frequently press on the heart
religious inferences most irresistibly. No
wonder, therefore, that our most fastidi
ous ladies, and the gravest ministers of
the gospel, were among Mr. Bonham s
hearers and ardent admirers. Yet there
was a dash of pleasantry aud an exquisite
perfection in his delineations of charac*«
ter which put his whole audience into an
equal rapture of delight, and laughter of
ten trod closely on the heels of tears.
This language may seem extravagant
eulogy to those who have not heard him:
but we are sure it will seem but just to
all who have. We are pleased to learn
that he purposes to give us a call once a
year. Milledgeville will be glad to greet
his comings.
Off for West Point.
Frank de L. Carrington, eldest son of
our worthy fellow citizen L. Carrington,
Esq., left our city on Monday last for the
National Military Academy at West Point.
He owes his appointment to the inllu
cnee of Hon. Jas. F. Blount, who so ably
and worthily represents our District in
the Congress of the 1 nited States. Mr.
Blount could not have made a more hap
py selection. For mental and bodily
vigor, Frank Can-ington is exactly fitted
to master the onerous duties of acquiring
a thorough military training at West
Point; and if lie is true to himself as we
confidently believe be will be, there is not
a youth in the Republic, who stands a
better chance than Frank does to win,
forty years hence, through a successful
military career, the very position Den.
Grant occupies now. ‘"So mote it be.
Public Schools
An Act to require the enumeration of the
school population to be taken quad
rennially.
Section 1. Be it enacted, by the Gener
al Assembly of Georgia, that the enumer
ation of the school population be taken
by the County School Commissioners of
all the comities of this State, in the year
1874, and at the expiration of every four
years thereafter, instead of annually, as
heretofore.
Sec. 2. Repeals conflicting laws.
Approved March 2, 1874.
County Commissioners are required to
take down the number of children (white
and colored) between 6 and 18 years of
age, Confederate soldiers under 30 years
of age, number of persons between 10
and 18 and tlie number of persons over
18 who cannot read. The School Com
missioner of Baldwin county will attend
to this duty during the present month,
and if owners of large plantations will do
him the favor to have a list prepared
for him when he calls, it will save much
time and trouble.

On Tuesday morning, 12th inst., about

from then- slumbers by cries of fire and
the ringing of fire bells. The location of

This store and those adjourning were
old wooden buildings, and burned very
rapidly. In two hours all the building
fiom the residence of Y. -Joel (known as
U»r. Martins residence) on Hancock
Street to Waitzfelder's budding on Sw
Street were consumed. At this time it
isdnipossible to make any accurate esti
mate of the loss. It., however, probably

A great part of the goods in all these
stores were removed and saved.
The buildings belonged principally to
the estates of S. R. Brown and A W
Callaway. The ’large building on’ the
corner of Wayne and Hancock streets,
occupied by Mr. Staley and others, be
longed, we believe, to Mrs. Carnes. Mr.
L. N. Callaway also lost considerably in
buildings.
The fire companies were promptly on
the ground and exerted themselves to
the utmost to quell the flames, but all
their efforts were unavailing until the fire
reached the brick building of E. Waitz-
felder <& Co. Here the fire-fiend was
again halted, as he was before when he
approached from the opposite direction.
All the buildings destroyed were old
wooden structures, and we hope soon to
see them replaced by substantial brick
houses.
The parties burned out have nearly all
secured places of business, whither they
are now moving their goods, and where
they will go to work courageously to re •
cover their losses.
The Hampton Hoads Commission.
In yesterday s issue we gave a careful
summary or condensation of Mr. Hill’s
paper, omitting no material point: and
endeavored to show that Mr. Hill had
h£ lj fa f fi dt ?P roduce “luiwritten
history of the Hampton Roads Commis
sion, for all the facts he stated had been
written history long before Mi-. Hill
however, so confounded the accounts of
two movements for peace-negotiation as
toleave the impression that there really
was but one—the one originating with
Mr. btephens resolutions in the meeting
of the Georgia Delegation. But the latter
was, m fact, entirely separate from, and
independent of, the Blair-Davis Lincoln
movement resulting in the Hampton
ltoads conference.
Instead, therefore, of a real contribution
to the historical facts concerning the
famous Commission, Mr. Hill's m ticle
drops to the level of an assault upon or
exposure of, the motives and conduct of
ieachng actors in our Confederate drama
at its gloomiest period. As such we shall
discuss it
\ iewing from this position the seven
columns essya of Mr. Hill, an opponent
would assert with somo plausibility that
t.ie article had but two great objective
points—the crushing overthrow of cer-
tam men and corresponding elevation of
Mr Hill. The distinguished contributor
to Confederate history, it will unquestion
ably be said, has already declared himself
the savior of Georgia, and now he under
takes to show that he was really the pow
or behind the Confederate throne and
would have saved the Confederacy, but
for the disastrous intrigues at counter
revolution.
But weare dealing with facts, not men.
Mr. Hill proposes to contribute to the
truth of nistory, audit is the province and
duty of the press to scan critically the
correctness of his statements with a view
that truth may really be educed, and not
error.

County Court.
The County Court, both quarterly and
monthly sessions, has been adjourned
until Thursday, 11th June, on account of
sickness in the family of Judge Furman.
The remains of a colored child, four or
five years old, was found a few days since
in a raft on W. A. Davis “low lands,”
in this county, some two hundred yards
from the river chanhcl. It being sup
posed to have floated from the river
dux-ing the recent high waters. Au
quest was held by W. S Scott, Cox-on
er; jury S. E. Whitaker, forerman, and
others, Dr. J. M. Whitaker, examining
Physician, and the verdict of the jury
being, they believe from tlie evidence,
the deceased came to his or her death by
drowning supposed to have drowned a
a month or more ago, and as no one is
missing from this neighborhood or conn
fcy, it may have floated from some county
above. S,

A Orange Harvest Feast,
Messks. Editors :
On Saturday the 2nd inst., I had the
pleasxxre of attending a Harvest Feast of
Hebron Grange, Washington County.
Twenty-four candidates took the 4th de^
gree, 14 men and 10 ladies, which makes
over 70 members in this Grange. Sup
posed to be about 150 Patrons of Hus
bandry present on this occasion. Grand
Master Smith was also present. Judge
R. Strange, Master, presided, with other
officei-s, and all did well. At the close of
confexring the degrees on the men, all
assembled around two tables groaning
with everything to tempt the appetite.
The ladies always at the right place, were
there from the neighborhood extending
as far as Sandersville and Linton,
looking so sweet and charming, to the
old, as well as we young men, and to see
them so deeply interested in the Patrons
Ol II usbandry, should be encouraging to
us Patrons, that the union will he strong
and lasting. After conferring the degrees
on the ladies, which was a beautiful scene,
the lady Assistant Stewardess, acted her
part well, going through with all tlie
minute points, making it interesting and
impressive. The Rev. W. C. Moroe, then
gave us a very interesting address, well
written and filled with facts too plain for
us to deny, on the subject of “planting
all cotton” and getting deeper and deeper
in debt. That since the war the Planters
mortgaged crops and lands to Factors,
first year in debt, the next a little more,
and so on year after year, until Factor
owned all. I learn this address will bo
published in the Sandersville Herald.
It is lengthy but is well worth reading.
He complimented Col. T. J. Smith for
coming to our rescue in this move to
have concert of action in Georgia with
the Planters through the medium of the
Granges organized in the W est. The Col
onel was the fii-st to introduce this organ
ization in Georgia, and in twelve months it
had grown to over six- hundred Granges
and many thousands in the United States,
taking hold of direct trade, cheap trans
potation, planting less cotton and more
gi-ain. The day was pleasant and enjoy
ed by all, especially by

The Eastman Atlanta Business
College.
This institution has achieved a success
which is unparalleled in the history of
Commercial Colleges. Starting in Atlanta
Ga., May 9th, 1871, with four students, it
has already sent out to the business world
nearly THREE HUNDRED STUDENTS
to attest its superior merits. Tlie 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 up, to the letter of its advertise
ments; 3d, it is conducted by men who
have had years of expei’ience 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

There are two reasons why some peo
ple don’t mind tlieir own business: One
is that they haven't any business, and the
other is that they haven’t any mind.
Confederate history in the property of
every Southern man, and the heritage of
his children. It behooves us all to guard
it sacredly from wrongful interpolation.
But we confess orn- embaiTassmont in
discussing a matter that, in its true
analysis, partakes so largely of a personal
controversy. 1\ e shall first eliminate as
best we can the histoi-ie healings.
In the first place, the legitimate con
elusions from Mr. Hill's narrative and
argxunent tend to establish that the fail
ure of the Hampton Roads Commission
was due to the disaffection in Geoi-gia
and other States looking to a counter-
revolution. This disaffection manifested
itself in au oi'ganized effort toward a con
vention of all the States, and in wide-
sm-ead nimors of a movement for sepaxs
ate State negotiation for peace. It was
this state of things that probably changed
Mi*. Lincoln’s mmd and defeated all
hopes of any favorable result from the
Hampton Roads Commission. All might
have been well, bad not, at the critical
juncture of Mr. Blair’s departiu-e from
Richmond, the telegraph brought the
news of Governor Brown’s proclamation
convening the Legislature of Georgia.
This, Mr. Hill declares, created cons tern
ation and was inexpressibly unfortim
ate.
We cannot see, either from the mes
sage of Lincoln to his Congress or from
any published facts and attendant circum
stances that Mr. Lincoln ever had any
idea of a jxeace negotiation outside of
submission. But if he did, it is difficult
to see how the Georgia proclamation
produced such a tremendous effect. Mr.
Hill is so pi’onoixnced upon the disastrous
influence of that document, that we have
looked it up in an old file of tlie Atlanta
Intelligencei-, in order to rcqieruse its
poi-tentous contents. The following is a
verbatim copy:
[copy]
[From the Intelligencer of January 28, 18C5]
A PROCLAMATION.
To the officers and members of the General Assembly ;
In comformity to the resolutions of the
Genei-al Assembly, passed at the close
of its last session, requesting the Gover
nor to convene the Legislature at such
time and place as he may think best, to com
plete the necessary- legislation, which was
unfinished at the time of adjournment
on the approach of the enemy, I hereby
require the officers and members of the
General Assembly to convene at the
City Hall, in the city of Macon at 10
o’clock, a. m., on Wednesday, the 15th
day of Febnxary next.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the State, this the 25th day of
January, 18G5.
[Signed] Josefii E. Brown.
This is certainly a very simple docu
ment to produce such a commotion:
more especially in view of the facts re
cited by it. The Legislature adjourned
precipitately at the approach of Sherman,
but before dqing so, passed a resolution
directing the Governor to convene them
at such time and place as he thought best,
to bring up unfinished business ; and “in
conformity to” this resolution, the proc
lamation was issued. Here, then, we
have the entire contents of a document
creating such consternation.
We are forced to the conclusion that
Mr. Hill is mistaken in attributing the
failure of the Hampton Roads Commis
sion to the disaffection in Georgia and
the influence of an untimely issued
proclamation. We shall continue the
discussion.—Constitution.

day from the lips of two little girls not
over nine years old. Each of them had a
baby in her arms, when the elder of the
two said to her compr.nion, “Sally, can
you tell a tip-top lie?” “You bet Why?”
says the other. “Why, you take your baby
and intake mine, and well go round
begging. You tell people we are widows.

, Brace of Swarfs Discovered in
Africa.
Bayard Taylor, in a late letter from
Egypt to the New York Tribune, gives
an account of the i-ecent discovery of
race of pigmies in Central Africa. Speali
ing of two in the care of the Khedive, he
says :
“The little fellows looked at me with
bright questioning, steady eyes, while I
examined and measured them. Tubbul
was forty six inches in height, the legs
being twenty-two inches, and the body,
with the head, twenty-four, which is
somewhat better proportioned than is
usual in savage tribes. The head and
aims were quite symmetrical, but the
spine was curved in remarkably from the
shoulders to the hip joint, throwing out
the abdomen, which was already much
distended, probably from their diet of
beans and bananas. Yet the head was
erect, the shoulders on the line of gravi
tation, and there was no stoop in tlie pos
ture of the body, as iu South Africa.
Tubbul measured twenty-six inches
around the breast and twenty eight inches
aroundthe abdomen; his hands and feet
were coarsely formed, but not large,
only the knee joints being disproportion
ately thick aud clumsey. The facial angle
was fully up to the average. Thex-e was
a good development of brain, fine intelli
gent eyes, and a nose so flattened that
in looking down the forehead from above
one saw only the lips projecting beyond
it The nostiils were astonishingly wide
and square. The complexion was that
of a dark mulatto.”

No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
nnwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and* vital organs wasted beyond repair.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vine-
gab BrrrEBS the most wonderful Invigor-
ant that ever sustained the sinking system.
Bilious, Remittent, and Inter
mittent, Fevers, which are so prevalent
in the valleys cf our great rivers through
out the United States, especially those of
the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois,
Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkansas, Red,
Colorado, Brazos, Bio Grande, Pearl, Ala
bama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James,
and many others, with their vast tribu
taries, throughout our entire country dur
ing the Summer and Autumn, and remark
ably so during seasons of unusual heat and
dryness, are invariably accompanied by ex
tensive derangements of the stomach and
Liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful
influence upon these various organs, is
essentially necessary. There is no cathar
tic for the purpose equal to Dk. J. Waukeb’s
Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily re
move the dark-colored viscid matter with
which the bowels aro loaded, at the same
time stimulating the secretions of the
liver, and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Hcad-
aclie'Pain in the Shoulders,Coughs. Tight
ness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructa
tions of the Stoinaeli, Bad Taste in the
Month, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the
Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain
in the region of the Kidneys, and a hun
dred other painful symptoms, are the off
springs cf Dyspepsia. One bottle will
prove a better guarantee of its merits than
a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affec
tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin,
Sore Eyes, etc., etc.* In these, as in all
other constitutional Diseases, Walker's
Vinegab Bittebs have shown their great
curative powers in the most obstinate and
intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remittent
and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder, these
Bitters have no equal. Such Diseases are
caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases.—Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advance in life, are sub
ject to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
against this, take u dose of Waiter's
Vinegar Bittebs occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Erup*tions,Tetter,
Salt Bheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Bingworms,
Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
out of the system in a short time by the
use of these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurk
ing in the system of so many thousands, are
effectually destroyed and removed. No
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no
anthelminitics, will free the system from
worms like these Bitters.
For Female Complaint#, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of
womanhood or the turn of life, these Tonic
Bitters display so decided an influence
that improvement is soon perceptible.
Jaundice.—In all cases of jaundice,
rest assured that your liver is not doing its
work. The only sensible treatment is to
promote the secretion of the bile and
favor its removal. For this purpose use
Vinegar Bittebs.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting
through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions,
or Sores; cleanse it when you find it ob
structed and sluggish iu the veins; cleanse
it when it is foul; your feelings will tell
you when. Keep the blood pure, and the
health of the system will follow.
