In Ohio the Democrats have elected the
State ticket by probably over twenty
thousand majority, and fourteen out of
twenty members of Congress; in Indiana
the Democrats elected thoir State ticket
ky over eighteen thousand and eight
members of Congress out of thirteen, and
a majority of the Legislature. In West
Virginia all the members of Congress and
a majority of tlio legislature; in Arkansas,
the new Constitution and the State ticket
by seventy-five thousand majority. In
Nebraska the legislature is doubtful, and
in Iowa the Democrats have got one mem

TLtfresult of the elections in October
important in themselves, and
. 'lit still in what they prom
ise in November. These elections clearly
show that the people in Ohio and Indi-
~~ aa Lave at last learned to put a just es-
- t • upon the monstrous lies and false
reports of the negroes and carpet-bag
gers on the SouiL. They had so often suc
ceeded in misleading the Northern mind
■with their infamous slanders that they
thought there was no end to northern
credulity on that subject and laying
aside all other arguments the Radical
leaders believed they could cany all of
the northern elections by frightening the
people with stories of new plots and new
Rebellions at the South. But these sto
ries have been repeated too often and
have lost their charm. Even that Con
vention of knaves and vagabonds that
assembled in Chattanooga, on purpose
to manufacture slanders against the
South, could invent nothing new, but re
peated the ox stories that have been so
often shown to be false. Heretofore
when members of Congress have been
called to explain some of their misdeeds
they had only to tramp up some horrid
slander against the South, to be forgiven
and to be re-elected. But this year
we believe tlio people at the North
will compel many of their representa
tives in Congress to give an account of
their stewardship or to give place to bet
ter men. We hope the revolution so well
began in October, will be completed in
November by driving from power those
wicked men who have so long plundered
and almost rained the country. Politi
cal revolutions do not go backwards and
we believe the few drops of comfort
which have fallen in October, will be fol
lowed by a plentif'il shower in November.
Since tnc people in the West have began
the v ai.ip.iign so gloriously, it is the duty
of the Southern Democracy to excell
them if possible in November. Let us
see to it that not one scal awag or carpet
bagger shall misreoresent and disgrace
Georgia in the next Congress, and we
hope Alabama and Tennessee and Vir
ginia and Arkansas and Missouri will
form a like resolution and work np to
it. South Carolina. Louisiana and Mis
sissippi are still in bondage, but the day
of their deliverance has already began to
dawn and we believe the time will soon
come when the -..Lite men of these States
can vote for their rulers without having
to encounter the fixed bayonet of Grant's
soldiers. If there is a particle of man
hood left in the hearts of the men of these
crashed and down trodden States, let them
show it in November by going to the
polls and voting for their deliverance.
carget-baggers where most of the com
plaints arose. They also soon discover
ed that as political allies the negroes
were a source of weakness rather than
strength. They soon drove from the
Republican party at the South, eveiy man
who valued his reputation. In all of the
Southern States the Republican party
soon became identified as the negro par
ty, and that party could not support a
State government without constant help
from the administration. These negro
troubles and complaints have gone on in
creasing from day to day until the white
men at the West and North have become
disgusted. They have become tired of
being taxed to support an army and navy,
when both were taken from their legiti
mate employment 4 and sent to protect ne*N
groes. They have discovered that most
of the complaints of the negroes were
groundless or gotten up to order to effect
some election, and that the soldiers that
are now sent to controle Southern elec
tions may be used against the people of
the North, and if the President has a
right to force a governor upon a South
ern State, he has the same right to force
one upon a Northern State. They see
that all of these troubles have come up
on the country, on account of tlio negro,
and they are getting sick of the negro,
and they begin to think it is time to leg
islate for and take some care of the white
citizens; and as this administration will
not do anything for the white race, they
have determined to dismiss it and put in
one that will.
Griffin, Ga., Oct. 16, 1874.
Editors Union <& Recorder :
As yon asked me for a report from our
Grand Council, U. F. of Temperance, I
will give a short report, j We arrived at
Griffin Tuesday night about 1 o’clock,
stopping at the different hotels until next
morning, when we were assigned homes
with the good people of Griffin, who very
kindly offered to entertain us during our
stay. Myself and daughter were invited
to the house of Col. J. N. Logan, a most
estimable citizen with a lovely family, who
did everything possible to make our stay
pleasant. Mrs. C. Johnson, a daughter
of Col. L., entertained us with fine mu
sic on the piano, accompanied with her
sweet singing which was perfectly charm
ing. We were taken to ride around this
beautiful city and saw many handsome
buildings, &c.
At 10 o’clock our Grand Council met
in the Baptist Church, and was called to
order by C. P. Crawford, G. W. P—
About forty Councils were represented
by about fifty delegatee—as fine-looking
men as I ever saw assembled. Rev. Mr.
Devotie in a short and interesting ad
dress gave our delegates a welcome to
his church and to the city of Griffin;
our Grand Worthy Primate returning
the thanks of the Council.
The Grand Council was in session two
days, and did much work in that Lime,
making many changes in the Constitu
tion pud By-Laws and framing a new
Ritual that will take well and aid much
in building np our Order.
The following officers were elected for
next year:
Rev. W. A. Parks, of Marietta, G. W. Primate.
Dr, B. N. Alston, of Fort Valley, G. W. Associate.
Col. M. J, Cofer.of Griffin, G. W. Lecturer.
Rev. W. S Ramsay, of Dublin, G. IV. Chaplain.
Mr. W. E. II. Seareey. of Griffin, G. Scribe.
Miss Eugenia Moore, of Dawson, Asst G. Scribe.
MissMollie McCaskeil, Marsliallville. G. Trens'r.
Mr. E. A Sullivan, Saudersvilie, G. Conductor.
Miss Virginia Williams, Wayne co., Aeet. G. Con
ductor.
Mr. J C. Mansfield, Cartersville, G. Sentinel.
Mr. W. A Hodges, Bullock co.,G. Guard.
Selected Fort Valley for place of bold
ing next Grand Council which will meet
2d Wednesday in November, 1875. Fort
Valley has the banner Council—over 200
members and ®xppct a large delegation
and crowd there at the meeting of the
Grand Council.
Capt. Crawford, P. G. W. Primate, on
retiring from his seat gave a short speech
encouraging the cause. Rev. W A Parks,
G W P, taking his place gave some cheer
ing and comforting words in behalf of
the order. Mr. Parks will be a great
benefit to our cause; be is good at any
work be is put at. He offers his services
to moke temperance addresses, visit and
institute councils, at his appointments as
Bible Agent, in which he has been so
successful.
We had two public receptions and two
stirring addresses on temperance to a
fine audience Wednesday night by Rev.
C. A. Evans of Atlanta, and Thursday
night by Rev. W A Parks. Both these
addresses were impressive and must have
touched the hearts of many. Nine names
were given, after Mr Park’s address, to
become members at the next meeting of
Griffin Council. I may give you a short
synopsis of these addresses at another
time. I leave this afternoon to visit my
son near Atlanta. Baldwin.
THE ELECTIONS.
[From the Savannah A ivertiser’
endment of the Constitution.
Editoh Advertiser: Now that the
election for members of the Legislature
is over, remarks on the subject of amend
ing the Constitution of the State of
Georgia cannot be construed as intended
to affect the election, and should simply
affect the object intended to be brought
to notice, which is a proper amendment
to the Constitution of the State of Geor--
gia, an amendment that will not oniy
protect the t-av payers of the State from
paying the fraudulent Bullock bonds, but
in future prevent the issue of fraudulent
bonds. In the early settlement of the
United States, the opinion prevailed that
the credit of the United States and the
States could only be used to protect the
people against invasion and pay the ex
penses of war. The opinions of onr iu
lers have undergone a material change
in the progress of the country, and at
this day it is difficult to mention any
subject that the credit of the United
States and the States cannot be used to
affect, and this growing usurpation has me n, an j a majority of the Legislature.

New York, Oct, 15, 1874.—The Repub

Tiie Republicans were overburdened with
the temperance issue.
The Republic’s Littlo'Rock special char
ges the Democrats with delaying returns
in order to doctor them. It estimate the

The New York Democratic State Cen
tral committee has dispatches from the
Democratic State committee of Ohio

and a gain of seven Congressmen. Also
from the Democratic State committee
of Indiana, claiming from 15,000 to 20,000
majority, eight out of thirteen Congress
already deprived many individuals oi
their property in South Carolina and
Louisiana. The tax gatherers have sold
the property of many individuals who
were unable to pay the taxes imposed,
and this burden is boldly marching on
ward. In this favored city the taxes are
equal to one-fifth the income from many
productive pieces of property, and, if we
are fortunate enough to obtain the right
sort of a Board of Alderman, it w ill not
be a difficult matter to concoct plans that
will take another fifth part in these
progressive days of taxation; and, as
there appears to be good legislators elec
ted, may the people not with confidence
call upon them to protect them in the
fee simple right of their property, which
is being so undermined and involved by
taxation T The subject of the amendment
of the constitution of the State of Geor
gia will come before the Legislature on
the amendment to prevent the payment
of the fraudulent Bullock bonds; and,
in effecting that ainendmont, the legis
lators would do the people who sent
them but even justice to so amend the
constitution as to prevent the payment
of all obligations made by the bogus
Legislatures of past time. And to pre
vent any Legislature in future from mak
ing any obligations of indebtedness, save
and accept to suppress invasion and pro
tect the whole people from a common
enemy, let 1 other demands be met at
once with a well adjusted amendment
of the Constitution, carrying out such a
plan. The people might then again place
confidence in a fee simple title to proper
ty. If Legislators are to make laws au
thorizing the issue of bonds by the State,
the counties and towns, and the system
of rings continues and grows, a fee situs
pie title to property will give way to the
bondholder, and undergo a change by
the action of the
Tax Collector.
the
Radicalism Very Sick—Got
Slack Vomit.
The late elections in the South and
West show that the tide of popular opin
ion is setting strongly against the Grant
party. No one thing has done more to
produce this great change than the negro.
Ever since the close of the war, the Re
publican party, as they call themselves,
have lavished all of the favors and smiles
■which they had for the South upon the
negroes, whilst for the white people of
the South, they have had nothing but
frowns abase and oppression. By this
policy they hoped by tho aid of the ne
groes to build up a strong Radical party
for themselves in the Southern States,
but time has shown them the follv of at
tempting to build up a political party
out of an inferior race, who had neither
the talent, or the property, or the moral
qualities fit for governing a State; con
sequently their attempts at government,
have everywhere proved sad failures and
brought rain upon themselves and the
white men they attempted to govern,
and with it, disgrace upon the party that
put them in power. The negroes like
spoiled pets, as they were, gave up trying
to help themselves and depended on the
Federal government for support. Soon
learning that complaints of ill treatment
by the whites at the South was listened
to with pleasure at Washington and the
complaiuer was frequently rewarded with
smiles and favors, they have multiplied
and magnified their complaints beyond
all bounds, and when they had no real
complaints to make, they invented f-ham,
until the administration, Congress and
the army and navy were employed a great
part, of their tine !.■ taking care of the
negroes. This, a c awhile became an
intolerable nuisance. Honest men of the
Republican party began to enquire, shall
we never have done with legislating for
the negroes, and of sending troops and
Nfc~ to guard the negroes? They also
noticed ^that in those Southern States
where white men governed, there was
ve.-y few complaints; it was only in those
States undar the control of negroes and
From tlie Chronicle Jr. Senntinel.
Col. James Gardner Jr.
^he death of this distinguished gen
tleman has been announced. Appro
priate honors have been paid his mem
ory by the press he honored, and by the
citizens of his native city, who loved him
v-lL I knew him, politically and person
ally, many years; but I come not now to
write a eulogy on his life and character—
oniy lo make an explanation due to his
tory.
The Telegraph and Messenger (I think
it was), in noticing tho death of Col.
Gardner, after paving a just and hand
some tribute to his memory, remarked
that he was, at one time, prominently be
fore the people and the Democratic par
ty as a candidate for the nomination for
Governor of Georgia, and that tho con
test between his friends and the friends
of Hon. J. H. Lumpkin was so protrac
ted and irreconcilable that a compromise
had to be made, in the person of Hon.
Jos E- Brown.
This is partly true; but it is due to
history, to Col. Gardner, and his illus
trious antagonists, that the whole truth,
touching this memorable struggle of the
giants of onr good old party, should bo
made know.
The gentlemen nominated in the con
vention, aforesaid, were Hon. J. H. Lump
kin, of Floyd county; H in. Hiram War
ner, of Meriwether; Hon. Henry G. La
mar, of Bibb, and Hon. Jas. Gardner, Jr.,
of Richmond.
The contest waxed hot for six hours.
No prospect appearing of a nomination,
a Committee of Conference was appoin
ted to effect a compromise, if possible,
and said committee to report at the af
ternoon's session. Adjournment for din
ner, at a late hour, then took place. On
reassembling in the afternoon the name
of Hon- Jos. E- Brown was presented to
the convention as the “compromise can
didate," and he was nominated, I think,
unanimously. ,
Three of the great and good men, who
participated in this grand straggle for
Gubernatorial honors, are dead. All, all,
honorable men. But Georgia never lost
a son of brighter intellect, or nobler soul,
than James Gardner, Jr., had.

A COJTVBNTION
We find the following iu the present
ments of the grand jury of Warren coun
ty, as published in the last issue of tlie
Georgia Clipper.
We hope that our Representutives in
tho next Legislature will use even- effort
to secure the passage of an act calling a
Constitutional Convention of the sover
eign people of the State to frame a Con
stitution, as the present one was mainly
tho work of usurpers and negroes, and is
in no sense the work of the citizens of
Georgia.
The citizens of Warren, in their request
for a Convention, give voice to the wishes
of the people of Georgia. A Convention
is desired, a Convention is needed, and
a Convention will be held. There will
be no more deception practiced by cries
of expediency, expense, and legislative
amendment. The people know in what
true economy consists, and they desire to
make the organic law by which they must
be governed for themselves...
From the Southern Watchman.
Mr. Editor :—I write you a few lines
to say that up in this section of Georgia
we are very much pleased with the com
munication in your paper of the 23d of
September, in relation to Reform, State
Convention, &c, signed “Old Man.”—
Generally, the advice of old men is very
good. Do let us have a Convention, and
wipe out the “bayonet" Constitution, and
form one more in accordance with public
sentiment. The last Legislature acted
very arrogantly in refusing to submit the
question whether we should have a Con
vention or not, to the people. The taxes
are very high and oppressive; and there
ought to be some restriction upon the
extravagant expenditure of the people’s
money by the Legislature.

The Situation in the Seventh.
We await with patience the result of
the negotiations now going on in the
Seventh district, looking to tlie harmony
and unity of the Democracy. Had there
been prudence and good management
the seh’sm would have terminated two
weeks or more ago, and some man like
Colonel Waddell, General P. M. B
Young, or any other upon whom the
people could have united, have made the
race. Instead of this, the Executive com-
The World, commenting on the result
of yesterday’s elections, says that as a re
sult of the day’s work, for States, Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia and Arkansas,
have been enlisted and enrolled for battle
in 1876 against Grant. It predicts a full
er and more sweeping verdict in Novem
ber, and especially in Illinois.
The New York Times, editorially com
menting on the elections, concedes Demo
cratic victories in Ohio and Indiana, the
former being a substantial one. It is con
sidered that the results in the other
Skates indicate no important change in
politics. The Democratic victory is due
to the Republicans pronouncing in favor
of temperance. It admits that the con
dition of the South is not winning to the
Republicans votes. No one doubts that
the President did his duty in putting
down the. New Orleans leaguers last month
but still this duty was not calculated to
excite any great amount of enthusiasm
for party. It accuses the Republican
leaders of circulating unreliable reports
concerning Southern outrages in expecta
tion of exhibiting Democratic depravity;
but the public seen to have thought that
however depraved the Democrats may
have been, the existence of reign of ter
ror in the South was some thing for which
Republicans were not wholly irresponsi
ble.

of using the ladders the frightened girls

balconies fifty feet high, or sank down
nerveless and perished in the fiapies. It
was a sad and awful calamity. It is a
gratification to know that no human agen
cy could have averted it It is easy for
us to reason about the panic and disor

poor girls, bat if we were placed in the

ourselves would behave. There are few

s iys the Richmond Dispatch, was it that
placed the following note in the hands of
a Democratic newspaper. Brady, “chair
man," by mistake sent it to the editor of
the paper, who knew no better than to
publish it:
“Rooms of the Republican State Cen
trai. Committee, Indianapolis, September
3, 1874.— Editors of the Union, Rensse
laer, Ind: Dear Sirs—I desire to call
your attention to the horrible scenes
of violence and bloodshed transpiring
throughout the South, and suggest that
you give them as great prominence as
possible in your paper from this time un-
till after the election /”
“Thomas J. Brady, Chairman."
The whole world knows that the Radi
cal party always get up the “scenes of
violence and bloodshed' upon the eve of
an election, and that they use them with
great energy “until after the election.”
But it is well to have the proof in “black
and white” on the rascals.
They are using the “horrid scenes"
with great zeal now. They are doing
their best to create a diversion from their
own villainies by a sensation on southern
outrages. The Government backs their
game by ordering troops in needless
numbers from different posts—even from
the frontier—under the hypocritical pre
tence of protecting negroes. The elec
tion over, they will be kept where they
were never needed only so long as decen
cy—a moderate respect for public opinion
—may require.
Beautiful country—happy, free land—
where the army and the navy are employ
ed to bolster up a party and enforce a
fanatical idea.
A White Kin's Government
The Nation, a Radical paper in New
York, has blown up the whole Outrage
Fabric, in an article eight inches long.
It proves by a tabular statement of
Southern States—their relative white
and black populations, and their condi
tion, political and social—that the negro
is reported most unsafe, and the clamor
for the protection of Federal troops is
loudest in States where he holds the larg
est majority, and in all those States which
are governed by a substantial white ma
jority there is no complaint At the end
of the table the Ration states his conclu
sion from it as follows:
“Now, the conclusion we draw from
the foregoing, is that in those States in
which the whites, in virtue of their num
bers, take and hold the State government
beyond all peradventure, there is as much
order and security for blacks as for whites,
and there is financial purity and consid
erable prosperity; while in those States
in which the blacks have the majority,
or the two races are nearly equal in num
bers, there is constant disorder and vio
lence and great material depression. The
meaning of this is that the whites are
restive under the rule of poor ignorant
negroes led by Northern thieves, defaul
ters and adventurers, and try in wild and
lawless ways to get rid of their oppres
sors. It furnishes a complete answer
to those who say the negroes cannot trust
the whites to govern them. Where they
are forced to trust them, all goes well.”
Disraeli and Gladstone.—The whol e
game of English politics is now a game
of chess between these two men and their
retainers, with power for their prize. And
how that game is played! A session is
like a campaign. But Disraeli has one
great advantage over Gladstone. He is a
man of society—a man of wit—a man of
letters. Gladstone is nothing blit a
statesman. With Gladstone distance
lends enchantment to the view. But the
more you know of Disraeli, the more you
like, admire and love the man. The
Lord-Mayor expressed this feeling very
well in his speech at the Mansion House:
but it is a common experience. But
Disraeli’s forte, like Lord Palmerston’s,
is parliamentary fittesse. Gladstone's is
eloquence. Disraeli is at home every
where—in the House of Commons—in
the club-room—at a fancy dress ball—at
the Mansion House—at a quiet dinner.
Gladstone is at home nowhere but in the
House of Commons ; and yet, if the busi
ness of the House is not in his hands, he
must be thinking of Homer or Strauss,
or pottery—of anything and everything,
except tlie House of Commons. This
trait is peculiar to Gladstone. You nev
er see it in Disraeli, Lowe or Bright. But
Gladstone brings books down to the
House, or a packet of letter paper, and
reads, with a pencil in his hand to anno
tate the pages, or writes for hours togeth
er for his speech about ten minutes be->
fore he rises. You never see a book or a
pen in the hands of Disraeli or Lowe,
although, like Gladstone, they are both
literary men. Disraeli makes up for this
in other ways—spending six or seven
hours in the House of commons—for
instance, on Wednesday disappearing
from there at six o’clock to go home and
dress, sitting down to dinner with the
Lord-Mayor in less than a couple of hours
afterward, and at ten, after a couple of
speeches, asking permission to withdraw,
in order to go to the ball at Marlborough
House, l'et, with all this, the man is

A Touching- Marriage Ceremony.
It was the writer’s privilege yesterday,
at r. m., to witness the union of two
loving and devoted hearts, under circum
stances of the most trying and distress
ing character.
The dramatis jtersonce on this unique
and interesting occasion, were Senator
T. J. Perry, of Arlington, Ga., and Miss
Anna A., the daughter of General George
P. Harrison, of Chatham county.
The former, it will be remembered,
only three days since bad his leg terribly
crushed by a locomotive in the car shed,
rendering amputation necessary.
The intelligence was telegraphed to his
affianced in Savannah, and, like a true
woman and blessed angel of mercy, ac-
compained by her father, she hastened
to his side In her case there was no
revulsion of feeling—no seeking to recall
the plighted troth—no hesitancy in cast
ing in her lot with a maimed and bleeding
lover forever, come weal, come woe, in
sunshine and in shade. On the contrary,
he became the more endeared to her, and
6he regarded him
“Even ne it broken mirror, which the (fine*
la every fragment multiplied, uod makes
A thousand images of one that was,
The same, and still the more, tho more it breaks ”
From the Savannah Mow*.
Peterson Thweatt and the State of
Georgia.
We have had befereus for seveial weeks a pam
phlet addressed by Colonel Pe'.nson Thweatt to tl a
people of Georgia in regard to the salary due him by
the Ate for service rendered during the wur. It w
quite an interesting litliehrorhare, and we should be
glad ’fit could come into possession of every houeet
and justice iovibgci'izen
The pamphlet is intended as an appeal to the peo
pie of Ue< gia for simple justice. During the war
Compti oiler Thweatt received State Tre-.enry notes
fir his salary iu lieu of currency to the amount of
$6,A i0. There notes were to b** redeemed in S*4te
bonds after tiie war, auiso confide t was the Comp*
trailer of this f %ci that even after tlie surrender of the
Confederacy be accented of these notes i* pay
ment ot his salary. The Convention of 1865 passed
anordinar.ee repudiating the debt of Georgia created
for the purpose of carrying cn the war. An amend
ment, however, provided that this ordinance should
not apply to any claim against the State based npon a
consideration not incidental to a state of war, and
that any Legislature should be competent to makeup
propriations for the purpose of paying the same.
This would seem to be conclusive, bat, as we shall
presently see there was more wisdom in oar last Legis
lature tbao we dreamed of. Thus the matter stood
when tlie Sta’e passed into the hands of the Radi
cals. It would have been a very easy matter for Col.
Thweatt to have had his claim paid under the Bullock
regime. He had simply to put it in the hands of one
of the hungry crew an : give him a small commission
Indeed, tlieie were paities in Atlanta who made it their
business to hunt up unpaid claims and offer to collect
them for a consideration. But the ex-Coinptr* Her pre
ferred to present hia claim to tiie honest people of

SIMMONS' LIVER REGULATOR, OR MEDICINE,
Anxious to minister to the comfort of
the bein'* who heaven had set apart for
her companion through life, to his entrea
ty feebly uttered on a coueh of languish
ing, she at once responded with noble
candor, an 1 consented to assume the
duties of tl e wife immediately.
The nuptials were accordingly solems
nized. as stated, at Brown’s Hotel, yes
terday afternoon, in the presence of the
father of the bride, a brother of the woun
ded husband and about a dozen other
ladies and gentlemen.
Rev. George N. McDonnell, of this city,
officiated, the bride dressed in black, and
sitting by the bedside of her afflicted
lover.
Never was a wedding ceremony more
impressively rendered, or the responsi
bilities of the marital relation made to
appear in stronger colors. The respon
ses of both the principals were distinctly
audible, a soft light beaming from the
eyes of the gentle bride as she devoted
herself to the care and happiness of the
feeble sufferer to whom her fate was now
indissolubly linked. And if ever mortal
looked serenely content and happy, albeit
his sad condition, it was the young Sena
tor who so recently had exchanged the
triumphs of the hustings for the long
confinement of a sick chamber.
The concluding prayer of the minister
was replete with pathos and fervor, and
his earnest appeals in behalf of the mar
ried pair found an echo in every bos
om.
The ceremony over, each gnest after a
word of greeting quickly retired. Wto
can doubt that angels’ wings hovered
around that sub’hue and a'most weird
scene? The love of woman is indeed
beautiful and fathomless. May long
yeara of blissful peace reward the fidelity
and constancy of these hearts now by the
alchemy of Cupid transformed into one.
—Macon Tel. ib Messenger.
teimamore emphatic Ilian polite, the shortcoming* of
the last Legislature- Unfortunately for him, Colonel
Thweatt presented hid claim to this remarkable body.
His account of the manner in which it was received
and finally disposed of bristles with that sharpest of all
stings, unconscious sarcasm. Tlie claim was staved
off through chicanery, and now it stands on the record*
of that highly intellectual Assembly as not acted npon
We must heartily w ish that Colonel Tbweatt’s pam
phlet had never been written—we most heart ly wish
that the occasion for writing it had never existed. Ik
pots npon record a most shameful and disgraceful un
willingness on the part of the State ot Georgia to pay
ooe of her most faithfnl servants the wages that ha
honestly earned. Were is a man who lias to beg for
justice in the State of Georgia—a man who, above M
others, has succeeded in giving previous Legislatures
a basis for intelligent legislation. He made the office
of Comptroller General what it is, and his reporta are
models of their kind He bronght to the discharge of
the dut.es of tiis ofiice a patient and elaborate industry
that has been equalled by few public officers; and, all
things considered, it is by no means disparaging to his
successors, either present cr to come, to say that his
aptitude for the p-i-itbm, Ins enthusiasm and his econo
my will never again be equalled He created the
office and he fitted it iu every respect. It grew un
der his fostering care into one ot the most important
departments ot the State administration—a depart
ment that has suggested to tlie General Assembly some
of its most important legislation. And now we have
the strange picture of a man who has spent the best
years ol his life in the service of u great State abso
lutely driven to Ihe necessity ol writing a pamphlet in
order to imprests legislators with the justice of his
claims.
If Georgia ever did owe a debt, she owes it to Pe
terson Thweatt. and we trust that the new Legislature
wili promptly dispose of the claim in the manner that
every impulse of justice and patriotism .-urgent* It is
enough to cause the blush of shame and indignation to
rise to the lace to lead Colonel Thweatt’s account of
his treatment by the last General Assembly. We ex
peel better things from the incoming Legislature, not
only in respect to the bond amendment, bat aleo in
respect to the just claims of Peterson Thweatt.
The Owl.
The most wonderful thing about an
owl, says Josh Billings, is the solium
importance of the whole kritter, as he
sits on his perch, looking over the world
he seems to own.
Next to a newly elected Justice of the
Peace, seated on the bench, with a poor
cuss before him charged with stealing a
loaf uv bread, the owl has mere rare and
unfathomable wisdom in his face than
erny thing ancient or modern.
I have looked at them half an hour
stiddy, until I wuz ashamed uv my
impudense, to see if they winkt, and I
never see them do it.
I would thank some one to tell me if an
owl ever duz wink, and if he dur, how of
ten ?•
This would be a good subjekt for some
debating society in enny of our colle
ges.
Answers to this phenomena, post paid,
are respectfully solicited.
The owl bilds liis nest in sum vakant
hollow ov a tree, and lays how menny
eggs I leant tell, but sum where less than
a bundled I am sure.
This stands to reazon, and reazon sel
dom lies.
Owls are not luvlv to eat; no matter
how you fry them, they resemble *in fla
vor the meat of a yeller dog, if enny
knows how that tastes.
I don’t.
I have shot owls; it’s a good deal like
shooting into a feather pillow; they ere
full feathered from their toe nales clean
up to the base of their bills, and when
the feathers are pikt off from them, they
shrink as bad as sum other things I know
ov with the cotton all taken out
Owls are plenty, but I don’t know az
this iz enny thing in their favor.
At the recent election in this State
more colored people voted with the Dem
ocrats than ever before.
