THE UX!ON & RECORDER.
Old “Southern Recorder’’ and “Federal Union'
consolidated.]
KILLBSasmir, OA:
Wednesday, Jane 10, 1870.
•^Latest accounts from Oregon Btate
the entire Democratic ticket was elected
at the recent election.
We are indebted to the Hon. Allen
G. Thurman of Oliio for a copy of his
speech on Civil Rights, delivered in the
TJ. S. Senate. May 20th, 1874.
Wesleyan Female College.—"We have
received a neatly printed Catalogue of
‘dl esleyan Female College, Macon, Ga.:
J. W. Burke & Co., Printers & Binders.”
This institution seems to be in flourish
ing condition, there being 172 young la
dies in attendance at the present time.
The annual commencement takes place
on Wednesday after the second Monday
n July.
We are indebted to Hon. J. H. Blount
for a copy of the “Speech of Hon. James
B. Beck, of Kentucky, against the San
bom Contracts, in the House of Repre-*
8 intatives, May 26, 1874.”
Bibb County Fair.—We arc indebted
to Mr. B. H. Wrigley, Secretary, for a
complimentary ticket to the Fourth An
nua! Fair of the Bibb County Agricultu
ral Society, to be held in the city of Ma
con, on Thursday and Friday, June 18th
and 19th. If the railroads reduce fare
to half rates the occasion will doubtless
attract many visitors from this place.
A Nev Party.
We publish elsewhere the programme of
a new party about to be started, at the
head of which are Senators Morton and
Logan. We don’t care how many new
parties are gotten up among the Radicals.
They are all based upon the platform of
the loaves and fishes. Democrats want no
new party, the old party with the old
doctrine of State Rights, and a strict
construction of the Constitution is good
enough for honest men. All of our vic
tories have been gained under that ban
ner. Ohio, New Hampshire and Connec
ticut have been won upon that platform
and it is on that platform the Constitu
tion will be saved, if saved at all.
Lock to tiie Legislature—Under this
head the Athens Watchman has the fol
lowing deliverance: The people of Geor
gia are taxed twice as heavily as they
ought to be. Under the present Consti
tution there is no hope of relief. The on
ly possible mode of removing this grind
ing burden is a new Constitution framed
under authority of, and by the people of
Georgia. The present instrument was
framed under authority of a Radical Con
gress and by carpet baggers and aliens.
It is in no sense a Constitution of the
State of Georgia. Let us have a Consti
tution of our own. Let us remove this
onerous taxation. Let us reduce the
Legislature, have biennial sessions, and
cut off all needless expenditures. The
saving in one year alone would more than
meet tlio expenses of a Constitutional
Convention. We are satisfied that the
people desire these reforms—especially a
reduction of taxation—and if they hope
to sec them adopted, let them send men
to the Legislature who will respect their
views. It was contended last winter that
the people did not want a change. If they
do not, of course no one wishes to force
it upon them; but if they do, let them in
dicate the fact by sending to the Legisla
ture members who are in favor of a Con
vention.
In addition to what our brother of the
1 Vatvhman says, we will add that if we
want a Convention called, we must send
men to the Legislature that will be more
anxious to obey the Avishes of their con
stituents. than to please the people of
Atlanta. Men whose votes cannot bo
bought by a ticket to a ball, a dinner, or
a wine party. Send honest men, who
will do their duty to the State, even if it
should deprive them of the society of the
ladies of Atlanta. We were told that
some in the last Legislature were afraid
to vote for a Convention, for fear they
would be ostracised from society in At
lanta if they did. Send men who think
more of doing their duty than of a ball
or supper with Pease and his wife.
Our Newton County Correspondent.
It will be seen that a correspondent
from Newton county, over the signature
of “Success,” suggests the name of the
Hon. J. J. Floyd for Congress in this
district. Wc have known Judge Floyd
many years. He is a good man, and if
it was decreed tliat we should or could
send no one but a lawyer to Congress
we should not object to Judge Floyd.—
But w e believe the people are desirous of
changing the schednle and sending a
business man to represent them. The
planters, merchants and mechanics think
it is time to make a change.
We, and others through our columns,
have selected the Hon. C. A. Nutting as
a suitable candidate. Mix Nutting is a
real business man, and we think will ably
and truly represent #ie various interests
of this district. He lias seen enough of
public life to be perfectly at home in
legislation. Above all he is acknowl
edged by all to be an excellent financier.
We want a few such men in Congress.
We have had a profusion of lawyers
there for a long time. Let us try the ex
periment of sending a good business
WGT We received on yesterday another
communication from a number of lead
ing citizens of Newton, urging the name
of Judge John J. Floyd for Congress.
As it is very similar to the one signed
“Success.” and published elsewhere, we
do not think it necessary to imblish it,
as the one we give will have the effect
dee
of
red. viz, of bringing the name
Floyd before the people of the
istnet. As announced elsewhere we,

of Mr. Nutting for reasons then set forth
We are,• however, pleased to hear from
the good people m the upper part of the
district, and think now is the proper time
to suggest candidates and discuss their
fitness for the nomination. We appre
ciate the high compliment paid our paper
and desire a more general acquaintance
witn the people of that section.

Bald Mountain nt it Again.
Once more Western North Carolina
rumbles. Montes parturivnitternm iter-
nmgue. As hesetofere distinctly stated,
we advocate a reasonable number of vol
canoes in the TJ. S. and continue to ex
pect much from X. CMfcfrn* fa that fine.
We take the following from the Asheville
(N. C.) Expositor of May 29th :
^Thursday edging last,’%bout half-part
seven, several severe shocks of an earth-
qnake again were observed at Bald Moun
tain equal in severity to any that have
preceded them within the last three or
four months of these rumblings. The
noise was heard and quaking felt distinct
ly at Chimney Rock, a distance of ten
miles. A score of persons at different
points several JnMeBdrtrtntfrrtrtthe BBTOn
tun, concur in the statement of feeling its
effects, especially in the direction of Ruth
erford . ounty and along Broad river. A
number of persons aloof this river, at the
distance of ten miles from the mountain,
my the rumblings and other impressions
from the shocks were quite severe and
terrible. They were similar to the sounds
md rumblings observed there in February
last—even more marked and alarming. In
addition to what was then observed, a
strange phenomenon of lights was wit
nessed by many—lights which frequently
shot up from the mountain. A few nights
before Thursday evening’s shocks a party
of 4 or 5, at Spicer Springs, saw a hnge
light moving up Broad River, which shone
with such intensity as to exhibit the trees
and hills for an eighth of a mile on each
side of the river, as if it were daylight
It shone but five minutes, and disappear
ing, left all in darkness. They describe
it as resembling an electric light or like
a mellow line of five moving up the river.
The witnesses were much alarmed at the
time, and can offer no explanation of the
strange phenomenon. On the Friday
previous to the above mentioned occurs
rences, slight shocks were felt from the
same mountain. The people in the vicini
ty are much interested, and manifest
mnch excitment over these new distur
bances.
Cotton for March.
On the subject of cotton planting, the
New York Herald remarks:
The error of the South has been in
over-production of cotton, and over-esti
mating its yield. A surplus of com may
be put into meat or wool or whisky, but
a surplus of cotton must wait for the
slow grinding of the mills of the fabri
cating gods. Cultivating cotton to the
exclusion of other articles is keeping the
Southern States in comparative poverty.
It does not produce money enough to
give wealth to a population of 9,000,000.
With three-fourths of ten States ems
ployed in agriculture, the value of their
agricultural products exceeds but little
that of New York and Pennsylvania,
where only one-fourth are employed.

Company have just published their re
print of the Edivburyg Review for April.
The first article gives an account of the
history, resources, and geographical char
acter of Eastern Toorkistan, sometimes
incorrectly called Little Bokhara. This
country, lying between India and Sibe
ria, is a region of peculiar interest to
England and Russia, both of which pow-.

commercial relations with Central Asia.

“Prince Bismarck and the Church of
Rome” discusses the relations between
Church and State in Prussia. It points
ont the altered conditions in which the
strife between these two powers lias been
renewed; briefly sketches the policy of
each np to the year 1870; and then treats
at some length of the measures initiated
by Bismarck, finishing with a review of
the scope and probable consequences of
the four church laws drawn up by Dr.
Falk, Minister of Public Worship, the
justice and policy of which are represent
ed as open to grave doubts.

Dr. Scliliemann’s “Trojan Antiquities

“The Past and the Future of the Whig
Party” endeavors to explain the cause of
the untimely end of the Gladstone Ad

we term Radical.”
Flush Times Ahead.—The Macon Tel
egraph hears from many sources that if
the cotton and other crops of Southwest
ern Georgia at all fulfill their present
promise, there will be flush times in the
fall. One reason given, and a very sound
one, too, is that, as the farmers have not
been able to run in debt, credit being
dead, they will owe very little when the
crops are gathered. They have been
forced to economise by the refusal of
merchants and money-lenders to credit
them, and will have few or no debts to
pay when fall comes. It is astonishing,
too, to hear how well they get along—how
many things heretofore deemed almost
necessary to existence they have found
out can easily be dispensed with, and how
easy it i6 to economize under the pres
sure of necessity. This is certainly
cheerful news. And not the least cheer
ful aspect of the case is that next year it
will be twice as easy to economise as it
has been this.
New Departure Democrats.—An Hli
nois Democratic paper states the troth
concisely and forcibly when it says: “The
trouble and difficulty that the Democratic
party has hitherto encountered in past
campaigns, preceded from those -wishy-

themselves Democrats, hare neither char

and are totally wanting in decision ol
character and fidelity to principle. They
are a dangerous set wherever found, ana
their counsels should be steadily disregar
ded.” ‘ '

Bon. John J. Floyd of Newton.
Union & Recorder : „ _
I ask a brief space, only, in your
umns; brief, for the reason that my
ject is one of too general seputati'
need lengthened notice:
I allude to the Hon. J. J. Floyd whose
name I now suggest for the next Con
grees. In a large majority of the conn
ties composing the 6 th Congressional
District a bare mention of this distin
guished gentleman and jurist, would bo
sufficient. But for the benefit of a few
of the most Southern counties of the
District, I would briefly state that Judge
Floyd is now about 61 years of age, bale
and hearty, and successfully prosecuting
his profession throughout the Flint Cir
cuit The Judge occupied the bench of
the Flint Circuit, prior to, and during
the war; eight years with great honor
to bitnaeH, and with almost universal
satisfaction to the people. He opposed
the Hon. Hugh A. Harralson, many years
ago for Congress, and though defeated,
he had the satisfaction of largely reduc
ing the majority which had so often re
turned that gentleman to a seat. As he
sacrificed his own inclinations to the
gratification of the party which he loved,
it will be seen that the sin of office hunt
ing is one which cannot be rightfully
charged to his account. He has ever
preferred to prosecute thelegal profession
which he has so long adorned, to stand
ing around the public crib, munching for
an ear of com.
His head is now silvered with the frost
of years, and his face beams with the
wisdom which study and experience are
sure to bring. The times are disjointed—
grave issues are before the country. The
wisdom and eloquence, the piety and
statesmanship of such a man is sadly
needed in our national councils. We
could once boast of a brain power, equal
to any State in the Union—then Geor
gians felt proud, whether at home or
abroad, and always slept safely under the
vigilance of their sentinels.
The same material is still abundant
and the’signs of the times indicate that
our political machinery is about refitted
for its use. Success.

The shooting was entirely accidental on

loaded and fired, inflicting a severe wound
in the stomach of young Oates.

under way. Some
I rs of Congress have recently adopted a
ktform which they propose as the nu
clens of a new party oMMiization. This
platform runs sow* wWFas follows:
(1.) A call for a Constitatfatial C«ten
tion to effect several changes* the tends-
mental laws of the United States,
which will be (a) the etagtion of
dent, Vice-President and Senators
ly by the people; (b) subordinating all
corporations to the National Government;
(c) disallowing special privileges to any
corporation; (d) adding largely to the au
thority of the General Government in
matters affecting the transportation and
trades of the country; (e) Mid making
such banking provisions as wul allow the
General Government to institute hanks
under its own authority.
(2.) An immediate agitation for com
mitting Congress and the nation at mice
to the carrying out of the scheme of the
five great artificial water routes recom
mended by the Transportation Committee
of the Senate—that is, the opening of
the mouths of the Mississippi, the con
nection of the Mississippi with the lakes,
the ship canal around Niagara, the en
largement of the Erie canal, and the join
ing of the James river with the waters of
Ohio by a canal.
(3.) The construction of at least two
freight railways under the authority of
the General Government, so as to regu
late the charges of the main lines of the
country.
This schedu’e of th • ne-v party plat
form is furnished by that new sensational
organ, the New York Graphic, which
paper further explains by stating that
with regard o the currency question the
majority are in favor of inflation, though
inflation of the currency is not made a
cardinal doctrine. On this subject they
will wait the course of events. We are
assured that the new combinations are
made without reference to old party lines.
The leader in the movement is said to be
Senator Morton, who is countenanced by
Logan and many prominent members of
the House. We can’t see that the propos
ed “new departure” is any improvement
on the principles of the old Democracy.
So far as its personnel is indicated, it
isn’t even an improvement on the Radi
cal party. There is nothing either very
enticing or alarming in the new dodge.

The pastoral address of the bishops ef
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
was read in the conference at Louisville
last Monday. Upon dancing by church
members and operatic music in the
ehurches they expressed themselves as
follows:
Worldly amusements are denounced by
Jfhe Word of God and by that part of our
general rales which forbids the taking of
such diversions as cannot be taken In the
name of the law of J esns. This denuncia
tion is explicit and comprehensive. A-
mongst those indulgences which cannot
stand this solemn test is the modem dance
both in its private and public exhibitions,
as utterly opposed to. the genius of Chris
tianity as taught by us. When persisted
in it is a justifiable ground of action by
the church authorities.
We do not bestitate to say that no
music should be introduced into public
worship that is not decidedly devotional,
that no tunes should be sung or hymns
announced by our preachers which the
congregation cannot join, and that the
pastors of our churches in virtue of their
office have general supervision of this, as
well as of any other department of public
service. We give it also as our judgment
that whenever instrumental music is prac
ticed in onr congregations, preludes and
interludes should be avoided; since they
intermit singing and consume the time
allowed to the service.
The New Secretary or the Treasury.
—Mr. Bristow, the new experiment in
the Treasury Department, is a n»t>Ye of
Kentucky, and at present resides in
Louisville, where he began the practice
of the law at the close of the war, hav
ing previously been a resident of Hop
kinsville. Soon after his removal to
Louisville he was appointed District At
torney for Kentucky. A few years ago
the President called him to Washington
to fill the position of Solicitor General.
He was the first incumbent of this office,
which was created by the law under
which the Attorney General’s office was
recognized as the Department of Justice.
Towards the close of 1872, he resigned
his office for the purpose of accepting a
very lucrative position connected with
the Southern Pacific Railroad, which he
yet holds. The duties of this position
required him to pass much of his time in
Washington. The President had been
reluctant to aocopt his resignation, and
on December 3, 1878, sent his name to
the Senate for the position of Attorney
General, at the same time that Attorney
General was nominated for the Chief Jus
ticeship. When it became necessary to
withdraw the latter nomination, because
of the opposition to its confirmation,
Mr. Bristow’s name was also, on Jan
uary 8th, withdrawn. Mr. Bristow is
regarded as a man of ability and integri
ty. As such he will be something of a

ceeds in fitting np the large
edifice, which is a little southward of
old College. This contains seventeen
good sized rooms for students on its first
and second stories, and a large hall is
its third story, which can easily be divi
ded into two school rooms, capable of
accommodating say fifty students each.
This latter building, like the old College,
is of brick, and was erected just before
the war at cost ef $11,000. Skilled
workmen say that it would eost $20,000
to erect such a building now. All
will be needed to put it in complete o:
for the school Will be a
diture. The village chapel, one:
of a mile eastward, o*t timttd fibl
ing to the Talmage School,. (they have
forty or fifty acres in all) is a comforta
ble chapel, where, in Oglethorpe’s
miest days, Sabbath and week night
services were held; the College and
community univing therein.
It could hardly fail to impress the
Presbytery that here was too much val
uable property originally given foit
promoting education under Presbyterian
Christian influences, and too many pecu
liar advantages belonging to it, to be
allowed to remain useless, when one of
the most urgent needs of the Synod is a
Church School of the highest character.
Profitting by our past experience, and
having so much to begin with at Midway,
if we are true to ourselves and to -the
cause of Christ, we can build up an
institution there which shall bless the
Church and the world. An endowment
of $25,000 will, humanly speaking, make
the Talmage School plan a success. Dors
ing the visit to the Campus, a few of the
brethren went np to the top of the cup
ula and enjoyed the splendid view which
in every direction meets the eye. One
brother tried the old college bell, and as
it gave out its tones so well remembered
by some of the Presbytery fonuegty at
Oglethorpe as students anil Professors,
the feeling awakened was like that of the
Swiss mountaineer when he hears his
familiar national song in a land of stran
gers.
As the party were
it was proposed "
now visit the grave
honored Dr. Talmage, so long the Presi
dent of the College. A few minutes
drive brought us to t point where a
road, turning at a right angle to the left,
led us to the gate of the College Cemetery.
We entered the gate; and near it on onr
light was a simple, neat enclosure around
a plain nmil'le tomb, On the marble
was chiselled an open Bible, across tlte
pages of whieh ware tbfe words fro*
Isaiah lvii., 7, “How beautiful upon the
mountains arc the feet of him that brings
eth good tidings; that publisheth peace;
that bringeth good tidings of good; that
publisheth salvation.” Below upon the
white marble are thp words; .
