There was a great storm at the North on

It is stated by a Washington correspon
dent of tho Constitution, that Senator Hill
advised his colleague, Senator Brown, to
have a coat cut and made up swallow-tail
fashion to attend great State occasions in
the Capital. Tho Senator had sucli a coat
made, but selected heavy beaver cloth as
tho material. He was told that would nev
er do. The Senator replied that lie would
freeze under lighter stuff, and if his now
coat didn’t suit court circles, he would just
go ©n and wear his old clothes.

THE INAUGURATION OF SIR. GARFIELD. SENATOR JOS. E. BROWN. INTERVIEWED.
Our fat and jovial friend, Dave Reeves,
of tho Devereaux settlement, had a hard
time getting home last week. We rode
with him twice from tho depot where he
had been trying to sight out a locomotive
Soing his way. When we last saw him he
was hesitating whether he would go the
overland route afoot, or take the water
and float over. Ho bore his disappoint
ment with great firmness, as he said'’ he
® P le “ty of money along to ftay Mar-
sna for beard’till Sunday, anyhow.
Invitations are extended by tho Republi
can mangers to every military and civil as
sociation in the country to be present at
tho inauguration of Mr. Garfield as Presi
dent of the United States. The object, we
presume, is to give eclat to the occasion,
unprecedented in the history of the coun
try. It would seem to be the object of the
Republicans to make it rival in splendor
the accession of a prince of the blood to a
kingly or imperial throne. For what pur
pose? Can we conceive a reason for so
grand a demonstration, sucii an array of
banners, such glittering military pomp
with its gaudy trappings and strains of
martial music, but to lend influence to the
Republican claim that this is a consolidated
union, a nation, whose glories are exhibited
in this splendid concentration of the milita
ry and civil power brought together from
every section to do honor to a man whose
exaltation was effected by tiie people, to
show their devotion to principles that were
not established by the fathers of our insti
tutions, but are arbitrarily avowed as the
result of a diabolical and unholy war.
We see it stated that military companies
have responded from some of the southern
states, that they will be present at the in
auguration. Wo hope this is an error, and
if true, they do not consist of Democrats.
We trust no southern Democratic compa
nies will lend their aid to add to the mag
nificence of a scene gotten up by tho Re
publicans to mislead the people and draw
them into another stop to aid in giving sup
port to their iniquitous scheme of centrali
zation.
Everything that the Republicans can do
has beeu, and will bo done, to change the
customs, tiie habits and principles of the
people and to lead them from those of [Hi
rer days to others more suited to aristocrat
ic and monarchical precedents.
When Mr. Garfield is inaugurated lie will
be escorted to tho capital in a splendid ve
hicle, drawn probably, by four horses, per
haps six, and attended by military compa
nies inspired by numerous army bands,
discoursing strains of martial harmonies.
Each inauguration under Republican rufe,
adds something grander than those’which
preceded it, preparing the way by degrees,
for a nearer approach to a kingly or impe
rial throne.
When Mr. Jefferson, the great founder of
the Democratic party, was inaugurated, he
rode on horseback to the capital, hitched
his horse to a rack, and when the ceremo
nies were over rode on horseback to tiie
Presidential mansion and took possession
of it without the least parade or ostenta
tion. Now the Republicans want all the
military of the country to be present, and,
with tho coolest impudence, invite those,
too, of a section that they have sought to
cover with infamy and have wronged and
abused for the last twenty years. Let the
southern Democrats stay seienely at home
and northern Democrats too, and leave the
Republicans to their own glorification. One
of their most distinguished orators com
pared us to pirates, and another denomina
ted the Democrats, both Southern and
Northern, as the sicinc of the nation. Let
us scorn their abuse and despise their ef
frontery.
THE DELEGATE FROM UTAH.
At the late election for a delegate to rep
resent the Territory of Eutah in Congress,
the Mormon Apostle Cannon was elected,
getting a much larger vote than Gentile
Allen G. Campbell, as the Mormons call
him, who was the opposing candidate.
Governor Murray refused to give Cannon a
certificate of election upon the ground that
he was not a naturalized citizen, and gave
tiie certificate to Mr. Campbell. We do not
understand that lie refused it to Cannon
because he was a polygamist. Cannon
avers that he was naturalized in due and
legal form 2G years ago, but it seems lie
could not produce tiie papers to show it.
and no proof of it can be found in the re
cords of tho court in which tho papers’
showing his liaving been naturalized,
should bo found. The clerk of the court
could find nothing to show that it occurred
on tho day signified by Cannon, nor, on
any other day.
The Mormons are indignant, and with
the Republicans, contend that as Cannon
got tho most votes, he ought to have re
ceived the certificate of election, and the
question, as to tho legal right to the seat,
should have been left to the decision of
the House of Representatives. That view
would have been the correct one if Cannon
had boon really naturalized as a citizen of
the United States. But, as there was no
proof of that, Governor Murray would
have been untrue to duty to have given
him tho certificate; and why? Because no
one, not a citizen of tho United States, can
be legally a member of Congress. This
was declared by an act of Congress ap
proved June 8th, 1872, which provided
“that no person shall be capable of voting,
or ot holding office in any Territory who
is not a citizen of tho United States.” It is
supposed to be the duty of a governor to
comply with the law, and Gov. Murray
would have been censurable if he had given
a certificate of election to a man who was
an alien, and not entitled to it, no matter
how many votes lie may have received.
But it is said that Cannon had served sev
eral terms as the representative of Utah.
What if ho had served a hundred terms be
fore, having been seated by the Republi
cans? that did not justify Gov. Murray in
violating the law. He did right and tho
people will justify him in refusing the cer
tificate at the late election. Former Gov
ernors, who certified to his election may
havo overlooked the law, or been unaware
of its existence.
With all of our abhorrence of Mormon,
ism and polygamy, in Governor Murray’s
position, we would have granted Cannon
the certificate if he had been made a citi
zen, notwithstanding the existence of a
United States law, passed in 1863, which
made polygamy a felony. We would have
given him the certificate, leaving it to the
House of representatives to decide wheth
er he should lie admitted to a scat or not,
as an unconvicted felon. We justify tiie
action of Governor Murray and cannot sec-
how any right thinking man can censure
him for it.
Tho North American Review for Februa
ry is the literary phenomenon of the
month. First we have an earnest article
by General Grant, advocating tiie Nicara
gua Canal project. The genial Autocrat of
tiie Breakfast Table, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, follows with an essay entitled
•‘The Pulpit and tho Pew,” written in tiie
the best spirit of the Christian philosopher,
in which ho endeavors to show tho need
that he believes to exist for a revision of
tho prevalent theological creeds. Under
the quaint title of “Aaron’s Rod in Poli
ties.” Judge A. W. Tourgeo emphasizes tho
obligation, imposed upon tho Republican
party by tho Chicago platform, of making
provision for educating illiterate voters.
James Freeman Clarke makes a valuable
contribution to the discussion of the au
thorship of Shakespeare’s plays. The
grave evils that may result from the parti
san character of the United States Supreme
Court are pointed out by Senator John T.
Morgan. 1 he Sixth of Mr. Charnay’s pa
pers on the Ruins of Central America” is
devoted to a description or tho Pyramids of
Comalcaleo, which must rank among tiie
most stupendous monuments ever erected
by man. Finally, Walt Whitman writes of
‘The poetry of the Future." The Review
is sold by booksellers generally.
Macon is the proper place to -hold the
State Fair: and we hope the Agricultural
Society soon to assemble at Bainbridge,
will select Macon as the place for the next
State Fair. No other city in Georgia is so
’Well fixed to make the Fair a success. By
i<i) means give it to Macon.
Tiie New York Herald contains an Inter
view with Senator Brown, under date of
tiie 14th inst, which, reaches us too late for
insertion in this weeks issue. We will give
however, a very brief synopsis of it—mere
ly an allusion to its general features. The
Reporter ,said: “I asked him what he
thought was the first duty of the South?"
“To get away from poliOos," he replied
without hesitation, “and to give the time
and attention of her people to practical
matters.” He went on to state that while
the South should not abandon its principles,
it “should not give sentimental abstrac
tions the absorbing attention they have
heretofore had. “He thought it might be
better for uS to have nothing to do with
politics for the next 8 or ten years. He
thinks democratic principles would not suf
fer from this obeyance and expressed the
opinion that the N ew England States would
be with us on states rights as soon as “the
South and West, have grown a little more
powerful.” Ho then goes on to show how
we can obtain that power, by developing
our vast resources in timber and naval
stores, in improving our rivers, our superb
harbors aDd educating our people.
The Senator thinks the South has recu
perated wonderfully, even “almost without
a parallel,” since her loss of $2,000,000,000 of
slave property and as much or more by
her expenses in the war, and the immense
destruction of private property of all kinds
by botli armies, tho heavy taxes imposed
upon her cotton and tobacco, and in pay
ing her proportion of the national debt.
Tiie people, he says, have paid their debts,
improved their farms; converted villages
into cities, and are “now ready for progress
and development.”
lie thinks tho people of the South should
convince tho people of the North that they
abide in good faith tho amendments to the
Constitution made since the wai\ and that
we can never gain a national victory until
this is done, and thinks that a few South
ern Bourbons caused the Democratic de
feat at the late Presidential election. Con
vince tiie Northern people that we are act
ing in good faith, and sectional hate he
says, will die, and tho bloody shirt will be
buried to be raised no more.
He tells the people of the North that New
England, and her allies, brought the slaves
from Africa and sold them to us, and after
wards freed them. That it is their duty to
help to educate them.
He answered an allusion, that lie might
be called to Garfield’s cabinet, by saying
that he could see no reason why he should
be, and asserted positively, that under no
circumstances, would he leave tiie Seriate
to go into tiioUabinet.
He gave a glowing account of our cli
mate, soil and production, and our mineral
wealth and said, in substance, that immi
gration was desired by our people and that
Northern men, as well as others, are cor
dially invited to come. We will try to make
room for this interesting interview in our
next number, that our readers may fuliy
comprehend tiie views of our able Senator.
With most of them wo fully coincide in
opinion, but we will feel bound to express
a difference of opinion on one or two.
THE HIGH WATERS.
The continued rains of the early part of
last week culminated Thursday and Friday
in a great flood. The Oconee was as high as
we ever saw it at this place except in tho
famous freshet in May 1840, known as the
“Harrison Freshet", because Gen. Harri
son had just been nominated for the Presi
dency by his party in Georgia, and the con
vention was sitting at Milledgeville, at tho
time of the freshet. Last Friday morning
the back-water from the river reached as
iiigh up as the Wayne street culvert over
the lanyard branch, something very un
usual. In 1840 tho backwater went up as
high as the old butcher pen of Mr. Chap
Boutwell. At that timeall tho land around
the ..branch was in forest, and the pres
ent residence of Mr. Tom Jenkins, then
known as the “Pat Robinson” house, was
the most extreme northern residence in
tiie city. The scene was familiar to tho
writer ltecause he ws§ a boy then, and fond
of fishing knew every “good lioie” in
Rocky creek from the butcher pen to the
river. At the Jefferson street crossing, the
water was too deep for fording.
At tiie river during tho recent rain, tho
water rose several inches over the floor of
Mr. Cline’s new Gin House, situated on a
plateau very seldom covered with water
more than two or three feet in depth. The
back-water in Fishing Creek stopped all
intercourse between Midway and Milledge-
vilie, except by tho boats. The Asylum,
we learn, was greatly incommoded by tho
recent rains, great depth of mud and then
the flood.
Marriage at First Street Chnrcli.
A largo number of friends and acquaint
ances gathered at First Street Methodist
Church last evening, to witness the con
summation of a happy union of two trust
ing hearts. The bridegroom was Mr. Hen
ry (). Speer, formerly of Jacksonville, Fla.,
who was so fortunate as to win tho heart
and hand of the amiable and accomplished
Miss Mattie L. Rhodes, daughter of our
well-known fellow-citizen, Mr. Louis B.
Rhodes.
The ceremony was performed, in an im
pressive and beautiful manner, by Rev. B.
F. Breedlove, pastor of the church. Messrs.
Frank Benson and D. G. Smith acted as
ushers.
Immediately after tho ceremony the hap
py pair repaired to the car shed to take
tiie Macon and Brunswick train for Jack
sonville, Florida, where they will spend a
short time with the relatives and friends of
Mr. Speer.
They were the recipients of many hand
some presents at the hands of admiring
friends—as well as prayers and good wish
es for future happiness.
May their joint-lifo be one of brightness
and good cheer, and all their dreams] of
wedded bliss be fully realized.—[Macon
Herald, 20th.
MARRIED.
Yesterday morning, at the residence of
tho bride’s father, Dr. C. H. Hall. Miss
Nell Hall was married to S. it. Jacques,
Esq., of the firm or Jaquoe & Johnson, Rev,
Chauncev Williams, of Augusta, officiating.
The brglal couple left ai once for an ex
tended tour North.
The bride is one of the most charming of
Macon’s fair daughters, beautiful, gifted
and universally admired. The groom is
one of our whole-souled, generous mer
chants, whoso brilliant success in business
is due no more to his fine business talent
than to his courteous, gentlemanly bear
ing and open-handed liberality—qualities
which have done much to build up Macon’s
extensive trado and to extend her popular
ity.
We congratulate Mr. Jacques with pe
culiar pleasure. Not only has he won for
himself a reward, than which no greater
could be bestowed, but Macon has provid
ed the reward, and in so doing acknowl
edged and met some of her many obliga
tions, at the same time parting with noth
ing.
We welcome pur friend into the ranks of
benedicts, and if any of our readers feel
disposed to smile at tho blandly written
pronoun, they are welcome to the smile.

The Ishmaelite reports many negroes
leaving the county, which that journal

thing that could be done for the people gen

CONGRESSIONAL.
January 17th.—A bill passed the Senate
appropriating an amount not exceeding
$250,000 to purchase the Freedman’s Bank
and grounds adjacent thereto in Washing
ton City. If this bill becomes a law it will
be some help to the poor negroes of the
South who were so badly swindled by the
Freedman’s bank.
House.—By Mr. White of Pennsylvania,
proposing a constitutional amendment
providing that United States Senators
shall bo elected by the people of each State
Instead of by the Legislature.
We havo now too many elections by the
people. The frequency of elections seri
ously interferes with the business and la

to the country if every term of office in
tiie United States was doubled.
The Superintendent of the census, re

This Oil is extracted from a peculiar spe
cies of small White Nhnrk, caught in the
Yellow Sea, known as Carcharodon Rondel-
etii. Every Chinese fisherman knows It.
Its virtues as a restorative of hearing
were discovered by a Buddhist Priest about
tiie year 1410. Its cures were so numer
ous and many so seemingly miraculous,
that the remedy was officially proclaimed
over the entire Empire. Its use became so
universal that for over 300 years no Deaf
ness has existed among the Chinese people.

Its virtues aro unquestionable and its
curative character absolute, as the writer
can personally testify, both from experience
and observation.
Among tiie many readors of tho Review
in one part and another of the country, it
is probable that numbers aro afflicted with
deafness, and to such it may be said:

Athens Blade: In and about Atlanta, Ma
con, Savannah, Augusta, Athens, and other
cities, are to be found thousands or idle la
bor ; men and women who have no calling
that a city needs. These people, white
and black, but black preponderating—hud
dle into the cities and prevent good city
skilled labor from making good livings,
and have themselves, in the long run, to
steal for subsistence. These people ought
to go to the farms where their presence is
needed, and where they can make an hon

work than to preach country to these peo
ple.

Augusta News: An Augusta Irishman
has a very bright boy, who reads the pa
pers. Tho other morning the old man ask
ed Patrick junior why he didn't return the
change from the marketing. There was
no answer except tiiat tiie boy muttered,
“The toirant.” “Have you fed the pig,
Patrick?” A stony stare was the only re
ply. Then for about fifteen minutes there
was a vision of a son closely pursued by a
bareheaded father, revolving around tho
house until tho former overtook tho latter
and yanked him over a water barrel. “I
was only thrying Boycott on yez, fayther;
for the sake of ould Ireland- lave me alone."
“It’s a toy caught ye are,” panted the old
man. “I’ll tache yer to thriile wid a homo
ruler,” and he reached out and gathered a
barrel stave. Tho application of coercive
measures could be heard fodr blocks off.
Says tho Columbus Enquirer: A few

ed one of the strangest sights we have
ever heard of. It was past midnight, and
he was alone in the pilot house. Pilots no
tice the skies and tho surroundings gener
ally more minutely than any casual observ
er. Mr. L. says tho skies were clear, the
moon shining brightly, and he could easi
ly se© the channel of the river. Suddenly
there appeared just altove tho moon two
little black spots. Iu a few minutes they
dropped below fair Luna, and assumed the
shape of cornucopias, they being, seeming
ly, about a foot and a half or two feet in
length. In less time than fifteen minutes
they burst, and in a few seconds tiie entire
horrizon was overcast with dark, threat
ening clouds. Mr. L. says during his long
period of service as a pilot he never wit
nessed anything like it, and never expects
to again.

Dr. J. Bbadfield—Sir: My daughter
has been suffering for many years with
that dreadful aflliction known as Female
Disease, which has cost me many dollars,
and notwithstanding I had the best medi
cal attendance, could not find relief. I have
used many other kinds of medicine with
out any effect. I had just about given her
up, was out of heart, but happened in the
store of W. \V. Eckler several weeks since
and he knowing of my daughter’s affliction
persuaded mo to try a bottle of your Fe
male Regulator. She began to improve at
once. I was so delighted wiOi its effect
that I bought several more bottles.
The price $1.50 a bottle, seemed to be
very high at first, but I now think it tho
cheapest preparation on the globe, and
knowing what I do about it, if to-day one
of my family was suffering with that aw
ful disease I would have it if it cost $50 a
bottle.for I can truthfully say it has cured
my daughter sound anti well, and myself
and wife do most heartily recommend
your Female Regu lit tor to be just what it
is recommended to lie.

BREWER’S LUNG RESTORER.
CERTIFICATES:
Macon, Ga., June 8th, 1830.
Messrs. Lamar, Rankin A Lamar, Gent emen-—
Knowing the component parts of Brewer’s lqim
Restorer, I ilo not hesitate to say that in my be
lief it is the best remedy for Consumption, Bron
chitis and other throat and lung diseases, tver
discovered, and I take pleasure In recommend
ing it to alt who require sucli a medicine. It is
unlike a!I Consumption remedies I have ever
seen, in that it has no opiates; and an opiate in
my opinion is the very worst thing that can i«
given to any one whose system becomes ex
hausted by consumption. L. W. Hcsr.
Dr. A. K. Norton of Savannah, writes: “Your
favor of 14th Inst., is at hand. I assure yon It
affords me pleasure to give my approval ana cer
tificate in favor of your Lung Restorer, having
given it a fair trial in a number of cases where
it proved a success in the treatment of Bron
chitis and Consumption. Five years ago my wife
was fargone in Consumption, she had been con
fined to her bed the greater part of the Ume, for
six months with Hectic Fever every day and 1
had lint little hopes of her recovery, but by .per
severance with the blessings of God, her longs
are to-day perfectly sound. I gave her no other
Lung Medicine than yours and a cough syrup i
make. 1 have generally given them together as
I have strong faith in both. I succeeded in cur
ing a number of hopel ss cases and regard Brew
er’s Lung Restorer as a very valuable prepara
tion. Please send me per Express one gallon as
I am nearly out. Send bill or same and I will
remit promptly. Wishing you good success, j

Messrs. Lamar, Rankin A Lamar, Gentlemen:
My little gtrl 8 years oid has been for some time
troubled with a severe cough, which physicians
pronounced Bronchitis, bhe slept but little
coughing nearly the entire night and wo had to
get up very often to help her out, the cough was
so severe. At your solicitation 1 bought a bottle
of Brewer's Lung Restorer and she began to im
prove at once and has been sleeping nicely ever
since and I firmiy believe she will bo permanent
ly cured. I was very much frightened at ner
condition not long since, bnt am now rejoicing at
her rapid recovery. Yours truly. Geo. F. Wins.
Messrs. Lamar, Rankin A Laniar, Macon, Oa..
Gentlemen:—A member of mv family whom I
feared had Consumption has been entirely cured
by the use of Brewer’s Lung restorer. Hla con
dition was very alarming to all of us and we did
everything we' could think of to lieneflt him,
without success, until I got him a bottle of your
Lung Restorer. He began to Improve after the
first dose and before he had taken two bottlea
was entirely cured, where 1 feared no cure waa
possible, and I most cheerfully recommend it to
all who have any affections of the Lungs. He
was coughing and spitting all the time, so lncaa-
santly that it prevented his sleeping at night
and what little sleep he got did not refresh him
in the least. Had bnt little appetite and since
he liegan the use or Brewer's Lung Restorer haa
slept well and his appetite is vorv much better.
I have never seen anything act so promptly and
effect a cure ia so short a time. Wishing yon
great success and hoping the above inay influ
ence many to tnr Brewer’s Lung Restorer where
they need a medicine to strengthen and restore
the longs to a healthy condition. I am Verr Re-
gpectfhlly, Mss. E. J. w illiaxs,

We are yet to hear of any one who has not
been benefltted by the use of Brewer’s Long
Restorer, but on the other hand all who try one
bottle come back to get from three to six bottles
saying they had received great benefit Horn its
use. We have a letter from a gentleman at
