THE UNION & RECORDER.
Old “Southern;Recorder” aud “Federal Union”
[consolidated.]
MILLED OB VXLIiXi, GA :
Tuesday, October .26, 1875.
Female College.
The Committee appointed by the
last Baptist Convention to select a
place for the College, held a meeting
on the night of the 21st inst., in Ma
con, and resolved to postpone the
decision of the question until the
night before the next Convention,
which assembles in April next.
The Ohio Flection Again.
All our information from Ohio
confirm the belief that the late elec-*
tion in Ohio was carried by the Rad
icals by frauds and by the most lav
ish expenditure of money ever known
in any other state election, and after
all Alien is beaten by only a few
thousand votes out of over five hun
dred thousand cast. If the people
of the State had been left to manage
their election themselves there is no
doubt Allen would have been elected
by many thousand votes. The re
sult in Ohio may damage our pros-
Will the Atlanta Ring Permit the
Legislature to call a Constitu
tional Convention ?
This is a very important question
for the tax payers of Georgia to pon
der. It involves tho question of
whether our taxes shall be so redo-’
ced as to render them tolerable, or
whether they shall go on increasing
from year to year until the life is
crushed out of the State. The alarm
sought to be raised about the cost of
a Convention is answered by the re**
suit of the Alabama Convention
where it is stated a yearly saving to
the people has been made by her new
Constitution of two hundred and
sixty-five thousand dollars ; a saving
in one year of enough to pay several
conventions. The bloody shirt raised
by Mr. Amo, to frighten the Legis
lature can no longer prevail because
North Carolina, Alabama and Texas
have all had conventions and the
Government did not interfere, and it
is a notable fact that in none of the
States where Constitutional Conven
tions have been held, has there been
this year any negro disturbances,
but in Georgia and Mississippi where
the people crouch under a scalawag
Constitution negro riots have
prevailed. Then if the people of
Georgia want lower taxes and peace,
let us have a Convention, and amend
our Constitution as he people of
Alabama have done. But the Atlan
ta Ring don’t want the taxes cut
down, they live upon tho drippings
from the Treasury, and the more
pects some in Pennsvlvania, but it drippings the better for them. But
' that is not the case with the people
will have but little effect elsewhere;
and we believe the Democrats in
Ohio will rally and carry the State
for the Democracy in the Presiden
tial contest, when outside issues can
not be used against them.

people of many of their burdens.
The State Fair
At Macon, last week, was not as
largely attended, and the display was
not as good, as it was two years ago.
Why are Taxes so High?
The question which heads this ar-
j tide is frequently asked by the tax
j payers of Georgia, but has not, so

energies of the people. They absorb
and eat up the entire profits of hon

weight of taxation is not soon re
moved from the shoulders of our
citizens, it will cause thousands of
them to emigrate from the State.
We saw a gentleman yesterday, who
has lately returned from a visit to
Ireland. He says the taxes here
now. are much heavier than they are
in Ireland, and that thousands of the
Irish who had emigrated from that
country are now returning to Ire
land. Ireland was once supposed to
be the worst taxed country m the
world, but we are told at present
it is not near so bad in that respect
as Georgia, and the question again
returns with double force: Why are
we taxed so heavily? There are, no
doubt, many causes which have led
to this, every one of which can be re
moved by judicious alterations of

Extracts from Speeches Delivered
on the Reception of the Visitors
from the North.
OEX. OORDOS.
The advice of a friend to a newly
married husband in the treatment of
his sponse was:
“Be to her faults a little blind,
And to her virtues very kind.”
This was very applicable to the
two sections, who to each other’s
past fruits should be “a little blind,”
and in their intercourse “very kind.”
As the ties of commerce and the
majestic rivers of the country have
wedded us, let not what Providence
bath joined together be put assun-
der.
SENATOR BAYARD.
Without ever touching their hands,
or looking into their faces, I had
learned to love the people of Georgia,
and cherish the deepest interest
and pride in your noble State. And
had there been indeed any feeling of
animosity against her, (which, thank
God, is not the case), it would have
melted away under the influence of
this scene. I address you without
preparation, but it is not difficult to
Speech of Oen. Hawley at the
State Fair.
At 2 o'clock p. m., Wednesday the
Executive Committee escorted the
in Centennial Committee to the stand
the centre of the Grounds, and Gen.
Hawley, President of tho Centennial
Commission, spoke in substance as
follows: Some of those who listen
ed to him might have heard little or
thought little about this very impor
tant subject, and it was his duty to
explain it, so that all the people
might understand its objects. Few
nations can, like the United States,
specifically point to the day and
horn - properly to be designated the
birth of the nation. Most countries
even the smaller principalities of Eu
rope, count their history through en
tire centuries. We can point to the
fourth day of July, 1776, as the exact
date when these United States ap
peared as a component part of the
Family of Nations. Many men have
of late claimed to have suggested
the Centennial Celebration, but his
tory really suggested it; even John
Adams the elder, years ago, propheti
cally uttered words which proved his
sagacity, and he was'really better to
bo entitled to the claim of having
suggested it. It will bring all the
country together, and we will get a
repeat what so often has been reiter- ' f u j] description of the country to-
ated concerning the great results ac- j gether, and will get a full description
complished by this association, which | G f the country, its soil, trees, pro->
! ducts and resources, and can make
i the comparison with that of 100
| years ago, and observe what an enor
mous stride the nation has made in
j one hundred years. It was thought
right to have an International Exhri
bition, and to compare our country
and its people with that of other
people. On March 3d, 1871, Cons
gress passed an act making it an In
ternational Exhibition and he read
the preamble of the act to show it%
objects. Each State has a Commis
sioner and an Alternate, the entire
control being in the hands of tho Com
mission numbering ninetyfour. There
is no ground for saying it is a local
matter or a Philadelphia matter, it
concerns the entire country, and the
ter to be right than to mn success
by the encouragement of the gamb>
ling that characterized previous
Fairs. Reforms are never popular.
But the fact is, this has been a hard
year; money is scarce and the people
generally could not afford the ex
pense: aud it was also evident that
the officers of the Fair association
failed to enthuse the citizens of Ma
con and inspire them with the deter
mination to make the exposition a
success, a6 did their energetic May
or when he had the management of it,
and yet the officers worked faithfully
and spared no pains or expense to
make it all that was hoped for. But
after all the exhibition and attend
ance were respectable, and the Fair
cannot, by any means, be considered
a failure.
A number of distinguished men
from the North were present, among
whom were Senator Bayard of Dela
ware, Gen. Hawley, President of the
Centennial association (a synopsis of
whose address will bo found else
where): Hon. W. D. Kelley and May
or Fox of Philadelphia. Speeches
were made by these gentlemen and
by Gen. Colquitt and Gen. Gordon.

GEN. HAWLEY.
From all that has been said, a
stranger might surmise that some
“unpleasantness” had existed be
tween us in former times. And this
was true. It had been his fate to
command a brigade in Florida and
meet our friend Colquitt there. There
were no roads, no entrenchments,
and we had an ugly fight. Out of
five thousand men that went in with
me eighteen hundred were killed and
wounded,
and Colquitt could tell you all about
it. I don’t know whether we were |
whipped, but that invading expedi- j
tion stopped right there—and Col** 1
quitt didn’t follow or he might have ;
finished us. I always liked him from
that day.
They say that Bamy Finnegan j
was in command; but Colquitt and
his Georgia boys were those we had I
to deal with. I don't know what
A Briee Reference to the vote of
Ohio will afford an insight into the
cauMB which operated to defeat Al
len and elect Hayes. In eighty-five
out of eighty-eight counties—(at this
writing three are to hear from)—the
Democrats carried forty-five for Gov
ernor and the Republicans forty.
In the forty-five carried by Demo
crats, eight made Republican gains
amounting to 2,158; in the forty
counties where Hayes had a major
ity, sixteen made Democratic gains
amounting to 3,380; showing that
in general the Democratic gains have
been the largest. There are only
three counties where the Democrats
gain over five hundred votes, and no
county where they gain over eight
hundred—which shows that tho
gains were the result of no special
local influences. On the other hand,
in the counties of Ashtabula, Cuy
ahoga (Cleveland), Franklin (Colum
bus) and Hamilton (Cincinnati), the
Republican gain is 8,395 over the
vote of 1873, and there are nine
counties in which they gain over five
hundred votes each. This shows
that in localities where banks and
financial monopolies are strong, and
in large communities most suscep
tible to corrupt influences, such as
bribery, ballot-box stuffing and re- I , loec ^£

The Appointment ofZacb Chan
dler to be Secretary of the In
terior.
Many of the Republican newspa
pers at tho North appear to be great
ly surprised at Grant’s appointment
of Chandler to fill Delano’s place as
Secretary of the Interior Depart
ment. One of them says if the Presi
dent had searched the United States
from pole to pole, he could not have
found a more unsuitable man for the
place than Chandler. This is probs
ably true, and yet he could not have
and gamblers about Atlanta? Oar
politicians would do well to study
this question thoroughly, for we can
assure them the people are ponder
ing upon it constantly. The Ring
have tried to frighten the people
from having a Convention, by hold
ing up the scare crow of the expense
of a Convention. But it has been
and can be demonstrated that the
needed amendments to our present
Constitution would save in one year,
more than five times the cost of a
Convention. Onr politicians had
better remember this.

They will both leave the business of

will no doubt discuss the merits of
large quantities of it together. Both
of them are said to have an
itching palm for money, no matter
whether it comes in the shape of
high salaries, donations, or as great
ful remembrances for offices received.
We believe Zachariah Chandler is the
father-in law of Speaker Blaine and
it may be that the price of Chandler’s
appointment is an agreement that
Mr. Blaine shall not be in Gen.
Grant's way for a third term. On
all hands it is agreed that the ap
pointment is one not fit to be made
and on that account most likely to
be made by Gen. Grant. Wo pro

He said the sentiments uttered to

could hardly tear himself away from
the hospitalities of the people. They
loaded him with courtesies, and even
followed him to the cars. And now
he was prepared to advertise to the
world that the citizens of Macon
were the most genial and hospitable
he had ever looked upon.
He had for the first time seen the
fleecy cotton field and growing su
gar cane of this goodly land. Now
he had been drawn hither again at
the invitation of the association aud
would embrace the opportunity to
urge our people to go to the Centen
nial and exhibit tbe immense resour
ces of their noble State.
Macon, October 20.—From four
to six thousand people assembled
to-day to hear Gov. Hawley's speech
on the Centennial. He gave a suc
cinct history of the organization of
the exhibition, and alluded to its na
tion&l character, and that every State
had some representative. That for
eign countries would be largely rep
resented, and that ten millions of
visitors would be in attendance dur
ing the exhibition. Now was the
time for Georgia to exhibit all her
wonderful resources that would se
cure for her capital and labor, and
she should seize upon this glorious
opportunity to shake hands and
prove to the world the entire union
of this nation on the 100th anniver
sary of its birth.

you are gone anyhow.
Rev, Geo. G. Smith, pastor of the
Methodist church at Barnesville, is
preparing a history of Methodism in
tbe value of over half a million of
dollars. Many patriotic ladies were
taking part in forwarding the objects
of tbe celebration, and among them
was tbe great grand daughter of Ben
jamin Franklin. He referred to tbe
victories gained in Europe by Ameri
can ingenuity, referring particularly
to Hobbs locks, tbe Corliss steam
engine, tbe yacht America which in
1851 caused Great Britain to open
her eyes and change the models of
her yachts, the Colts and Reming
ton arms and McCormick reapers.
Even in art, Powers’ Greek Slave
bore off the palm at the London
Exhibition. At Vienna and Paris
American mechanics bore off the
palm. Georgia ought to have a pop
ulation of 3,000,000, and with her
great resources is bound to take a
leading rank in products and manu
facture. It will be a great national
camp-meeting in Philadelphia next
year. Let the people of the North
and South shake hands across the
bloody chasm and bo friends.
What Bees this Mean!
The Atlanta Commonwealth pro
pounds the following questions to
the Constitution:
“Will that journal deny that Kim
ball did not pay its proprietors for
editorially advocating the sale of
Kimball’s Opera House to the State,
while that subject was before the
Legislature.
Did not Mr. Kimball pay you
handsome price for the publication
of those editorials?
Did you not go to him yourself
and collect the money for this ser
vice?”
The sale of the Opera House to
the State by Kimball through the
perfidy and corruption of a Radical
Legislature, was one of the hugest
swindles of the Bnlloek regime. If
the Constitution advocated that sale
and purchase it has enough to an*
swer for to the people without the
additional charge of doing so cor
ruptly.
This charge we cannot and will
not believe until the proof is pro
duced; and we want to see the Con
stitution lose no time in its complete
refutation. It is too serious to be
left to mere conjecture and suspicion
on the part of the public.
Rome Courier.
Excellent Features of the Proposed
New Constitution.
Montgomery, Ala., October 23.—
Auditor Smith the only State Execu
tive official who is a representative,
has published a letter warmly sup
porting the new Constitution. He
states in his official capacity as one
who has charge of such matters,
that the maximum amount to be paid
out of the State expenses in case the
new Constitution shall be adopted,
will save annually, as compared with
the old, $265,000. The change pro
posed in tho school system, he says,
is a wise measure, and will increase
the amount aveilable for pay of teach
ers. Nearly all the white Republi
cans of the State are for ratifying the
new Constitution.

culiar to women, and most other
chronic as well as acute disorders.
It contains important information
for the young and old, male and fe
male, single and married, nowhere
else to be found. Men and women,
married and single, are tempted to
ask their family physician thousands
of questions on delicate topics, but
are deterred from doing so by their
modesty. This work answers just
such questions so fully and plainly
as to leave no one in doubt. It is
sold by Agents, or sent by mail

A Valuable Work.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, dis
tinguished in surgery, and the gen
eral practice in the profession he
honors, has made a valuable contri
bution to the medical literature of
the day, in a comprehensive work
entitled “The People’s Common
Sense Medical Adviser.” While
scientific throughout, it is singularly
free from technical and stilted terms.
It comes right down to the common
sense of every-day life. Dr. Pierce
is a noble specimen of American
manhood. He has sprung from the
people; and, with many sympathies
in common with the masses, has
sought to render them a substantial
service in this the great work cf his
life.
