The Telegraph’s Wilkinson Corres
pondent—Tbrasybulus.
We strongly suspect the compositors
in the Telegraph office have made a mis-
i ike in spelling the name of their TYil
kinson correspondent. The real name
we suspect is Thirst ybibulous. By the
way lie says he has canvassed the senti
ment of the Wilkinson county voters.
We happen to know our correspondent
J M., anil we know ho is reliable: and we
have seen several gentlemen from Wil
ainson since his communication was pub
lished and they one and all declared their
1 eference for Mr. Nutting. This Thirs
tybibulous is evidently anxious to be
c died a lawyer as he thinks none but
1; wvers can serve us in Congress. The
fact is lawyers have managed the affairs
of Congress and our State Legislatures,
until they have nearly ruined the country.
To show the difference between lawyers
and a business man, we need only refer
to a scene in our own legislature. Hen
ry Clows threatened the Georgia Legisla
ture if they did not pay a portion of his
fraudulent bonds that he would ruin the
credit of Georgia so that she could not
borrow a dollar hereafter, let her wants
be ever so great. Many of the lawyers in
the legislature were frightened at this
threat and thought it would be best to
submit to Henry Clew's terms. Then Mr.
Nutting stepped forward with a plan by
which the credit of Georgia was saved
and the payment of millions of dollar's
saved to the .State. So much for the re
cord of Mr. Nuttiag. Can Thirstybibu-
lous show where Mr. Blount ever saved
the State one dollar, or c-ver benefited the
State to the amount of twenty-five cents.
He refers to Mr. Blount's record. Well let
us have his record, and let us see what
benefit lie has ever been to the District
or State. Before Thirstybibulous at*
tempts to drive his Blount plow share
over the District, he had better prove his
own Democracy. A man who denies the
the fundamental Democratic doctrine of
rotation in office has no ijght to teach
Democrats their duty, and if he thinks
that no one but a lawyer can represent the
sixth District, or Wilkinson county, he
will find the people differ with him. If
Col. Blount is sharp he will get some
other champion in Wilkinson county.
Such writers as Thirstybibulous will do
him no good. The people can t be made
to believe that none but lawyers know
anything. The country has already had
too much of lawyer legislation. They
are good at taking back pay and salary
grabs, but when any legislation is needed
to help the finances of the country, or to
promote the agricultural Jintercsts, we
want business men. Mr. Nutting by his
financial talent in the Georgia legislature
did the State more real service than all
the lawyers that have been in the legisla
ture for many years. Lawyers vote for
7 urge salaries, lay on heavy taxes and
spend money profusely, but they know
little about the farming or mercantile in
terests of the countrv.
Mr- Blonnt’s Congressional Record.
LET US HAVE THE RECORD.
The Wilkinson correspondent of the
Telegraph & Messenger, with that long
thirsty name, brags of Mr. Blount's
record. Haalie ever seen his congres
sional record? We have searched for it
but can't find it! We saw a private letter
to-day from an intelligent Georgian, now
in Washington City, who says “do try
and send some one from the Sixth Dis
trict that will be of some use, for you are
without any representation at present."
—and yet we have a lawyer there who
draws his pay and rations. If we had
Col. Nutting it would not be said, that
we were without a representative. We
take the following extract from a Macon
letter to the Albany News, of the 11th
inst:
TIIE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.
But little is said as yet about the race
for Congress in this District. The friends
of Mr. Nutting are at work for him, and
as the matter now stands he leads the
field in the race for the Democratic nomi
nation. It is not known whether the
Radicals will put forth a candidate or
not, for that party appears to be without
any well defined object or a respectable
number of voters in the District.—If Mr.
Nutting is nominated he will be elected
without any serious opposition, as he is
personally one of tho most popular men
in middle Georgia.
Fairing Off.
bi canvassing the vote of Congress on
^articular bills we frequently see it sta-
ed that Mr. So and So had paired off
with two on the opposite side. This
pairing off on important bills is a most
oernicious practice and should be avoided
by every honorable man. If a man has
anv principle he ought to record his vote
in favor of that principle and let his con
stituents see how he voted. His vote
may influence others and his failing to
vote may discourage others.. Besides in
some cases a vote on one side is worth
two on the opposite side, as is the case
on the Ci vil Rights bill where it takes a
vote of two-thirds to take it up. One
vote in the negative balances two in the
affirmative; so that Gen. Young by pair
ing off with a Radical sold his vote at
lialf its value. We hope his constituents
will remember this when they come to
make another nomination for Congress.
This pairing off is generally practiced by
those who wish to avoid the responsibili
ty of a vote, or by those who are too in
dolent or careless to stay in their place
until a vote is taken. In either case they
are not fit to represent a people jealous
of their rights, and we hope every Dem
ocrat who lias paired off with a Radical
when he could have been in his place will
be left at home and never have another
chance to trifle with the rights of his be
trayed constituents. Men who are too
cowardly or too indolent to vote on im
portant questions should be compelled to
stay at home.
A large number of names are sug
gested for Congressional honors in the
several Districts. In the Sixth District,
however, we have heard but three names
mentioned in this connection, viz : Hon.
C. A. Nutting, Hon. J. H. Blount and
Judge John J. Floyd.
Since writing the above we have been
handed a communication (which appears
elsewhere) suggesting the name of Hon.
TLos. G. Lawson, of Futnam county.
A New Crime.—Thirstybibulous, the
correspondent of the Telegraph A Mes
senger charges Mr. Nutting with being a
banker and lending money. We have
known men to lend money before and
some of them have had reason to regret
it. But we never knew it to be charged
as a crime before. In many parts of the
District the people would 1A« to have

Atlanta, Ga., June 4th, 1874. f
Dear /Sir:—On the 16th day of this
month the Atlanta Constitution enters
upon the seventh year of its existence.
Much of its success is duo to tho kind
ness and fraternal assistance extendod it
by the Georgia Press; and in view of thi6
fact, the Proprietors have concluded to
make the occasion one of pleasant social
reunion of newspaper men.
We propose an Anniversary Banquet
and Excursion to the Georgia Press
The Banquet will occur at 9 o’clock P.
M., on the 15th instant.
A Grand Excursion to Lookout Moun
tain, Chattanooga, and intermediate
points, has been arranged. We may,
however, change the programme of the
Excursion, going to Rome, and down the
Coosa River to Blackwell Creek Falls.
Indeed, every arrangement has been
made for a grand, jolly old time in this
dull season, when two or three days can
be readily spared. To make the occasion
a complete and most enjoyable affair now
remains with our newspaper brethren.
We shall do all in our power to make it
such. We earnestly beg the honor of
your company. We wish one member of
each newspaper establishment in the State
to be present.
Please notify us at once, that we can
make thorough provision. If you have
no railroad ticket, by mentioning the
fact, we will furnish one to and from this
City.
Respectfully,
W. A. Hemphill,
E. Y. Clarke,
N. P. T. Finch.
We thank the proprietors of the At
lanta Constitution for the above invita
tion to a banquet and an excursion. Our
engagements will not permit of oi iv at
tendance, but we presume that those
who do attend, will have a very pleasant
time.

Mr. Editor:
As the subject of our next Congress
man from this District seems to be crea
ting some excitement at present, permit
me through your valuable paper to preb
sent the name of the Hon. Thomas G.
Lawson, of Putnam, as the standard
bearer for the people of the 6th Congres
sional District, in the coming campaign.
There are none more worthy and compe
tent for the position than Col. Lawson—
he would do honor to the highest office
in the gift of the people. But Mr. Editor
he is too well known throughout the Dis
trict to need comment, to suggest his
name is sufficient. Voter.

A Washington dispatch says: Mr.
Nast, in his cartoon upon President

with more bomb shells around him in case
the one he hail just thrown should prove

For tbe Union Sl Recorder.
Blackshear, Ga., June 8th, 1874.
Editor Union Sl Recorder :
The com crop in Pierce county,
pending, and put tho labors of tho com
mittee in rather a ridiculous light.
In the first heat of their irritation some
of the inflationist Republicans were reck
lessly outspoken in denunciation of the
President’s course, Senator Cameron and
Mr. Ivelloy, of Pennsylvania, being quite
sliarp in their language. The whole
Pennsylvania delegation of inflationists
arc exceedingly wrathful in regard to
what they term his unwarrantable inter
ference with legislation. The President’s
favor towards free trade with Canada
has also touched their ultra protectionist
prejudices, and is another source of bitter
feeling. Even among the liard-money
men there is great dissatisfaction with
the President’s action, and it is regarded
as a political blunder. Speaker Blaine,
whom it stops short in his endeavor to
effect a compromise in order to obtain
bill which will meet with tho sanction of
the President, is greatly annoyed at it,
as he regards it to be the wisest policy
to avoid if possible a party separation on
the subject. The Western members all
denounce tho President’s action as having
crippled the party for the fall campaign.
Tho Democrats share this view, and have
taken on a jubilant tone declaring that
the next House will be Democratic. Sen
ator Logan, who was on the floor of the
House a great portion of yesterday 6
session, was swelling with indignation,
and expressed himself with great bitter
ness.
A curious feature of the affair is that it
has given another impetus to the third
term discussion. Tho impression has
gotten abroad, and finds belief among the
colored members, that the President will
veto the civil rights bill if it should pass,
and this is referred to in connection with
the foregoing to prove that the President
is breaking up tho Republican party in
order to run for a third term upon the
hard money platform of the constitutional
Democratic party. More competent
judges think, however, that the President
has no ulterior designs, but his action
was the result of an honest regal'd for the
financial honor of the nation and of the
frankness of speech which does not con
cern itself with political contingencies.
The President’s independence at the
present time, however, strangely con
trasts with the deference he paid to Sena
tors Morton and Logan pending the pas
■age of the first bill, when he was so care
ful not to make any expression of opin
ion that should alarm them as to the fate
of the measure.

Parson Brownlow has written another
letter, which completely demolishes what
was left of Bartlett, the miscegenation
President of the Maryville black and tan
college. Ho had charged, in a previous
letter, that the social equality bill exalted
the n egro above the white man—which
Baxter was fool enough to deny—and
this last letter proceeds to prove it, as
follows:
In my former letters I have given
various reasons in proof of the charge
that the effects of the bill were to make
the colored man superior in law of the
white man. and since writing those let

fertilizers this year. Hopes are enter-

Civil Bights.
The first regular attempt made by those
who latter day fortune and politics have
so extensively favored to inaugurate civil
rights, as a local institution, occurred
yesterday evening after this wise: A
couple of University sophs (chromo color)
went into the drug store of Taylor &
Jones, corner of Broad and Marietta
streets, and proceedeed to discMss with
Mr. Quigley (of the firm of Quigley &
Everett, the celebrated engravers,) the
theory of veracity. One of them became
so engrossed with the subject at last,
that he inadvertently called Mr. Quigley
a liar. Mr. Q. then, with an urbanity
and suavity of manner that is characters
tic of the man, took up a line of argument
commonly known as a polishing stone,
and proceeded to convince the universi-
tarian, who was so struck with the argu
ment that he sat sat down on his ear and
pondered The Blackstone argument
was thoroughly preserved and indelibly
engraved on the odorous periphery of
tliat sophomore’s frontal physiogno
my. So interesting and enlightening
was the disrwawow, that a couple of po
licemen offered the two nnivcrsitaiians a
room free of tax for the night, provided
they would lecture before “Old Aquafor
tis" this morning. The question will be
discussed on its merits, and it is hoped
that such direction will be given the
case as will settle the question of civil or
uncivil rights.—Atlanta Herald.

for Pennsylvania to hold her annual elec

and New Jersey so that we shall hear no
more of “As Pennsylvania goes, so goes

the influence that that body will exert in
shaping the presidential canvass of 1876,
the few months between this and Novcin

persistent work. A new element enters
into the canvass, and will dispute with
the old parties for the possession of many
of the State Governments. It is the so-
called “Independent’’ party, which has
called State conventions already in H
linois, Indiana and Kansas. The Pro
hibitionists arc also moving. Of the
strength of these irregular parties we
have no present means of knowing; but,
as they are offshoots of the Republican
party, we are in no fear that the Demo
cratic vote will be affected by them.

Suicide Mania.—There have been a
considerable number of suicides in Balti
more recently, but they are in greater
proportion in some other parts of the
country. In sixteen days, between the
19th of May and the 5th of June, there
have been seventeen oases ef suicide in
New York city, or over one a day, and in
the last five days there have been nine
cases. It is a somewhat note-worthy fact
that all these cases have been of persons
of foreign birth, the majority being Ger
mans. The American nund does not bo
naturally ran to suicide as that of either
the German or the Frenchman, the violent
character of toe latter, and the metaphysi
cal inclinations of toe former, each lead
ing to pretty nearly the same result One
cause in bringing this result about is said
to be toe almost utter impossibility of the
^boring classes to obtain wor fcin tome
mission into the Union as a State. Iu
fact, it has, for several years, had the
population, and this fact being establish
ed, the House of Representatives passed
the bill admitting it as a State. Several
of the members of Congress, who are
conspicuous advocates of the civil rights
bill, opposed the admission of the Terri
tory as a State. Prominent among these
was Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, who
gave two reasons for opposing tho ad
mission of the Territory. One that a
portion of the population was foreign and
alien in birth; that is, thousand of Mexi
cans were left in the Territory when it
became the property of the United States,
and the other, and, as he said, chief rea
son for opposing its admission was, that
five-sevenths of the population could not
read and write.
The theory of Mr. Hoar and other ad
vocates of the civil rights Bill is that the
colored people of the Southern States
who cannot read and write shall have
every civil and political right, with mixed
schools thrown in, but the white men of
New Mexico shall not have civil and poli
tical rights because they are not able to
read and write. A man advocating this
doctrine places the negro above the white
man and I call him a “negro worshipper. "
Webster defines “worship” to mean “to
reverence with supreme respect,” mid if
giving the negro, who is not able to read
and write, full political rights, and deny
ing the same rights to the white man be
cause he cannot read and write, is not
“reverencing” tho negro with “supreme
respect,” I do not comprehend the mean
ing of the English language.
Farliameut Denounces to* Virginias
Mmhcw.
Before the British Parliament, in re
gard to the Yirginius affair, was a letter
from Lord Granville to the British Min
ister at Madrid, saying that Her Majesty’s
government does not complain of the
seizure of the Virginius, nor of the deten
tion by the Spanish authorities of her
passengers and crew. The threatened
ground of complaint that Her Majesty’s
government holds, is, that even assuming
the vessel to have been lawfully seized
and her crew properly detained, there
was no justification for their summary
execution after the irregular proceedings
before a drumhead oourtmartial. Noths
ing could authorise or palliate such con
duct on the part of toe Cuban authori
ties.
A special from Little Rock to the New
Orleans Times says: “It is now very

The Fastest Railroad Train in Ameri
ca.—The newspaper train on the Pennsyl
vania railroad now carries a passenger
coach. It starts from Jersey City at
4:10 a. u. and arrives at West Philadel
phia at 6:57. The section between New
Brunswick and Trenton is run at the rate
of a mile a minute. The train has been
in operation about a year, and has met
with but one accident, when it struck a
carriage, killing two persons. When the
train was first put on it was manned by an
engineer, fireman, and two men to handle
the papers. They were volunteers, and
signed a paper releasing the company
from all responsibility in case of acci
dent.
mantic attachment of a young
Bruce, of this city, for Zulu Azra, known
as the beautiful Circassian girl, who last
summer traveled in a professional capams
ty with Barnum’s circus, and who, dur
ing the past winter, attracted many ad
mirers to Barnum’s Museum, in this city,
where she was on exhibition. Bruce, who
is a man of considerable fortune, propos
ed marriage to the beautiful Circassian,
who put him off from day to day, until
he, fearing that he was thwarted in his
love, became very much depressed in
spirits. He actually haunted the muse' 1
um wherein the girl was on exhibition,
and on her ultimately refusing to see
him or to allow the correspondence to
I'ontinue further, he became melancholy,
ind soon after exhibited symptoms of in*
sanity. The symptoms developed so
rapidly and were of so serious a nature
is to cause his friends to have him re
moved to Dixmont Insane Asylum. At
-,his institution he remained nntil a few
.reeks ago, when he was pronounced
cured, and accordingly discharged.
With liberty came tho old and strong
affection for the Circassian, and he made
inquiries in almost every quarter of the
city as to her present whereabouts. As
certaining that she was traveling with
O’Brien’s circus, then in the interior of
New York State, he hastened thither, and
came up with the object of his search at
a small village called Fair Hill. This
was on Friday last, and the meeting be*
tween the couple is said to have been an
exceedingly cordial and joyous one. He
again told her of his love, and again pro
posed marriage. Greatly to his joy the
trials and tribulations of a very romantic
courtship were brought to a happy end
by the acceptance of his offer. The next
day, in the presence of all those connect
ed with the circus and attending side
shows, the young couple were made man
and wife. After the ceremony they were
the recipients of numerous congratula
tions, and the contract of the lady with
the circus manager having been annulled
to the satisfaction of all concerned, the
couple left for Pittsburgh, where they
arrived yesterday. Bruce is a rather
fine looking man and the heir to a large
estate.
From Ilia N. T. Home Jonrnal.
Victor Hugo’s ’99.
Tliis work is not so much a novel, in
the ordinary acceptation of the term, as a
sort of chronicle or grand prose epic. Its
subject, as the title indicates, is the terri
ble social cataclysm of the French Revolu
tion, and particularly that portion of it
which pertains to the civil war in La Ven
dee. In the comprehensive system of the
author, it belongs to the trilogy announc
ed in the preface to ‘L’Homme qui Rit,”
aristocracy, monarchy and revolution.
The first of these >vas treated in “L’Hom
me qui Rit,” the last is the burden of the
present work. The subject and the aus
thor’s peculiar social aim both happily
conspire to the production of the picture
in its most affective proportions and as
pects. The awful lights and gloomy Ha-
dean shadows have never been treated
with a more masterly power, and rarely
liave the contrasts of happy life and love,
that are revealed between the rifts of the
battle clouds, been touched with so grand
a'charm of simple idylic beauty. Tho
work abounds with Titanesque charac
ters, fitted to enact the roles of a Titanic
tragedy. The Marquis de Lantenac, a
typo of the resisting Dobility, a leader of
invincible courage, relentless, asking no

The Sentiment on Water Works.
Atlanta, June 12, 1874.
Atlanta, the highest and dryest city in
America, has never had a system of water
works. Every drop of water used in the
city is derived from wells or directly from
the clouds. As a consequence, she every
Summer suffers much from perfect si
moons and platoons of dust. Another
j more serious consequence is the insuffi
ciency of water for fire purposes, and

The Mississippi Cotton Crop.
The New Orleans Times, in speaking
of the cotton crop of this State, says:
“In speaking of this State, we allude
only to those sections which are regarded
as tributary to New Orleans. In the
bends between Vicksburg and Helena the
prospect is not good, the stand being
bad. In the counties of Washington and
Isaquena the stand is not a fourth on
account of the dry weather. Higher up,
above and east of Greenville the prospects
are more favorable. All sections report
want of rain, and all report a bad pros
pect because of the failure to obtain a
good stand. A gentleman just from
Boliver county gives to his county a like
description, but said the planters were
putting in seed as fast as the water
recedes. The lands had been prepared
prior to the overflow, and now, as soon
as the tops of the ridges appear, the re
plant is made. To do this toe hands
waded in mud up to their knees. Instan
ces are related of seed sown under such
circumstances which came up in seventy-
two hours, and always in four or five
days."
The Times is of (minion that outside
the average decline of ten per cent, in the
acreage, toe loss on toe crop of the pres
ently ear in those sections trading with
New.Orleans will not amount to more
than 200,000 bales, assuming that the
cotton worm does not make its appear
