In presenting to the People the White
Bronze Monuments, Statues, and Vases, I
do so, knowing (from the high source of
their recommendation) that 1 am offering
them the most durable Monuments that
has ever been before the public, and their j
cheapness puts them in reach of ali. Be- j
ing from fifty to one hundred per cent. |
cheaper than inarbieand more fasting thau j
marble or granite. Our Bronze is compos- •
ed of pure Cast Zinc, which differs mate- j
rially from the eommer ial article, being j
refined r*]>ecially for our own use, and it is j
also an entirely different article from the
sheet zinc, which is an amalgam, whilst
ours ls a Pure Metal, like Gold and Silver. I

Some doubts having been express-xl as

“I consider the White. Bronze Monuments
practically indestructible. They wili not

will outlast tho stone foundation on which

ful old colored woman, who has for years
been afflicted most terribly with a sore leg,
which has never been benefittod by the
treatment of >ai number of physicians with
various remedies. Tho use of banodine
for a few weeks has so materially henelit-
ted her that I cheerfully recommend it to

Senator Brown left on Tuesday last for

with his brother In South Carolina, and
reached Washington yesterday.

Thornton, Is now and has been a Republi

“Bill Arp,” says bed mattresses ought
to have handles on ’em like trunks have.
But William, that would be no good where
there was only one follow around to tote
the plagued things.
What has become of Gen. Toombs all
this while? Since Mr. Stephens has been
so freely named for Governor, wo have not
heard from the groat “unreconstructed” gi
ant. Why this studied silence?
The Columbus Times hits the colored
brother a hard lick when It says, he raises
a hue and cry about a free ballot, and at
tho same time votes a dozen times at one
election. Can anything bo freer than the
colored man’s ballot?
Senator THU, says he “has lived fifty-
eight years, and iio man ever lived fifty-
eight happier years. It may be best that
they bo all.” Senator Hill Is no better, tho
wound in his throat refuses to heal and
his family have no hope of his recovery.

Bills have been introduced intotheHouse
of Representatives Involving an outlay
of over 3600,000,000, not including the pen
sion bills. Tiiese bills are designed to
squander the public revenue, keep up the
high tariff and protect the monopolists at
the expense of the people.
The Macon Commercial College, Wm.
McKay, principal, Is meeting with great
er popularity every day. It ls doing a
grand work in central Georgia—an Institu
tion long needed In this section, and the
time will ho short ero it becomes the larg
est Institution of the class In the State.
Macon has an advantage In geographical
situation. _
Col. Thornton Is in trouble. Ho can’t go
into his political barn-yard with any con
fidence. While he is watching the bull, the
old ram may take him in the rear, and
while he is watching the ram the bull may
toss him, or the jackass kick him—so ho
philosophically takes to the fence, and
smiles at the situation.
Gen. Gartrell ls playing a lone hand for
the Governorship. It goes hard with tho
General that “Little Alex” didn’t show his
hand when ho gave up the game. But it Is
only a verification of the old saying, the
first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
Tho General started his fireworks oil too
soon; he ought to have wet his powder, and
it would have burnt longer.
lion. Jeremiah S. Black made a grand
speech in Baltimore, on the subject of the
troubles in Ireland. His plan of settle
ment is for the English government to
buy all the lands, and sell them to the
Irish tenants, giving them easy terms
and long credits. Also to give them the
equal protection of the laws and local self-
government.

.T. 8. Schofield & Sons, Macon, Ga., are no
strangers to the people or Middle Georgia.
And in Baldwin they are widely known tor
their ieliabiiity as business men, and the
ex client products of their Industry. They
speak ill rough our columns to tho people,
and especially to the farmers ana mechan
ics of this section, and we refer them to
the .advertisement, assuring them at the
same time that they could not have deal
ings with a better firm.
There are nine circuits In the judicial
system of the United States. Senator
Davis or Illinois has introduced a bill to
appoint two J udges to form an Intermedi
ate Appellate Court in each circuit. This
is a good suggestion. Georgia, In her
State Judiciary, should be divided Into two
circuits, - ad three Judges appointed in
each circuit, as an Intermediate Appellate
Court between our Superior Courts and
the Supreme Court. This would expedite
the transaction or business and be an I m-
mense relief t > manv people who are com
pelled to seek the law to protect their
rights. _
Seventeen electric lights blazing from
the top of poles, about forty feet high, and
stationed at regular Intervals, on Broad
street, Augusta, Ga., wore in full blast,
Tuesday night. The lights extended from
the old to the new market, a distance of
about a mile. The light was brilliant and
soft, of a silvery to color with the slight
est bluish tint. The street was brilliantly
illuminated, and one could stand a short
distance from tho poles aud road with the
greatest ease. We heard a little girl re
mark that it was brighter than day. This
however was the exuberance of youthful
imagination. Long shine the electric
light. ^
The Tariff Commission Bill.
The passage of this bill by both Houses
of Congress, secures to the protectionists
their Ill-gotten gains for sometime to oome.
We tender, In behalf of the people, our
warmest and most grateful acknowledge
ments to Messrs. Blount, Buchanan, Clem
ents, Cook, Hammond and Turner of Geor
gia for voting against it. Mr. Stephens
did not vote, being absent from the House.
Mr. Speer was the only Representative
from Georgia that voted tor it. In our
opinion It did tho Congress of the United
no credit to turn the matter over to out
siders to report upon it to that body. Tho
protectionists have effected their object,
which was to secure delay in granting to
them as long as possible a protection vary
ing from 50 to 250 per cent. We are sorry
for our oppressed people but it cannot be
remedied now, and will not be In the fut
ure unless the poople—the sovereign peo
ple—shall arise In their power and retire
to private life those who hdve disregarded
their interests and sufferings. They know
that there was intelligence enough In Con
gress to comprehend everything connect
ed with the tariff,and that relief could have

THE PKK8S.
The convention, held in Augusta, on the
10th, was devoted strictly to routine bus
iness. No speeches were made and as no
call was made upon the gentlemen of tho
Press, who might desire to address the
convention, to do so, the representative of
the Union & Recorder had no opportu
nlty to say a few words upon tho Press
which he wished to utter, mainly, to the
younger and more Inexperienced poitlon of
his brethren. As the senior of those pres
ent, he knew his remarks would not be con
sidered intrusive. The desire arose from
looking around upon the bright and intel
ligent faces of young gentlemen whom he
Imagined to have been but a short time
engaged In Journalism, or were, perhaps.
Just entering upon It. Perhaps it was well,
as they and others may see the ideas he
felt disposed to convey. In a better form
than In the utterances of an extempora
neous address. What we intended to say,
had an oDportunity presented itself, we
now pen in a form more succinct than we
would have done It in an off-hand speech. It
would take columns to enumerate the
value and blessings of a free press, and he
will present only a few of the leading Ideas
drawn from a long experience as a journ
alist. He does not allude to certain presses
which may be termed chartered libertines,
holding nothing sacred from scurrility and
abuse. There may be a few such presses
In this country, but as far as he knows,
there Is notone In the State of Georgia.
Long since he discovered that no good, but
much evil, would result from personal
abuse. All men are entitled in this coun
try to free speech and freo opinion, and
however widely we may differ In opinion,
and however strongly and powerfully wo
may resist opinions or doctrines of others,
let us do so in such a manner that tho con
testants may still meet and be friends.
During my life, since I was capable of
forming opinions about suet: matters, I
have noticed a constant improvement In
the management of the papers of our
good old State, and for Intellectual power
and criticism of public affairs, and, also,
in the selection of reading matter to fill up
their columns, I can call to mind no period
when the general press of the State stood
higher, if as high, as It does now. If lam
not mistaken there aro nearly if not quite
150 papers In the State. It is said, that in
a multitude of counsellors there is wisdom.
Let us remember that every paper in tho
State Is a counsellor. Ought it not to fol
low, as a necessary consequence, that the
State ls blessed with a great deal of wis
dom : and happy it is, that it is so. They
overflow the State with a pure and vivify
ing stream bearing moral health and re
freshment throughout its borders. For
ages, and especially in arbitrary govern
ments, there was, and It is so now, a con
stant effort to master the free spirit of tho
press and confine It to the most narrow
and petty .regulations. There, the spy
system, inquisitions and the gendarmrie,
were in common use to chock its freedom
and keep the people under an abject and
tyrannical survellance. But here, the press
Is free and its highest duty is zealously to
guard the liberties we have inherited from
the immortal founders of our free institu
tions. To all things, tending to tho usur
pation of unauthorized power, the press
should present a stern and Inexorable op
position.
The peoplo generally have little time to
study constitutions and the nature and In
tricacy of tho laws. The press Is presum
ed to he cognizant of such matters. It Is
a great public teacher and It ls its duty to
place before them tho truths and doctrines
which protect their:.rights aud promote
their prosperity. Tho subjects of nations
where tho press is not free and under des
potic rule, all history teaches, gradually
sink into passive indifference and submiss-
ivenoss under such despotic rule. Such
would bethecase, even in this confedera
tion of sovereign States and freemen, if
wo submit tamely to violations of the con
stitution and tho spirit of liberty.
What is called the applause of an un
informed assembly, misled by crafty dem
agogues, is a very different thing from
considerate public opinion. The great ob
ject of the press is to teach the principles
of right and justice. It fixes the charac
ter of events, consecrates groat actions,
rewards public virtue, Incites to emulation,
discriminates justly, and is the torrible si
moom that blasts the wrong-doer, to pre
serve society and maintain law and order.
I may go so far as to say, it ls a trumpet
that shakes the world. And how does It
do this. It speaks to large audiences of
men, yea to millions. They read, ponder
and adopt, often, sentiments destructive of
their own interests. How important it is
then, that every man who aids in wielding
the great power of the press, should feel
the weight of the responsibility that rosts
upon him.
Thero are some errors of the press. No
human power is perfect; but its blessings,
rightly directed, so far counterbalance Its
errors as to make It tho admiration of all
classes of society. Thoso errors should be
corrected as far as possible within tho em
pire of mind. They can be met and sub
dued by the operations of reason and mor
al feeling. Reason is the pilot to guide it
to truth and justice.
Nothing should have a more powerful ef
fect upon the minds of the conductors of
the press, In this country, than the consid
eration that they are, In groat part, the
custodians of liberty—sentinels upon the
watch towers of freedom. In this great
and glorious thought, they should find,
their chief inspiration. They stand as
cheeks upon crime against society, and
political measures which are gradually
undermining the rights and liberties of
the people. Under a proper sense of this
great moral feeling and responsibility, it
will not hesitate to expose offenders a-
gatnst civil rights, however high the of
fenders may he in official position. The
press lays open to the world, its improve
ments in art aud science and every mate
rial interest. As such, it deserves pa
tronage and should be recognized by every
citizen as Its friend. No patronage, can
be better bestowed by every class and pro
fession, than that which is extended to the
press, which performs its duty under the
guidance of honor and truth, and fidelity
to every right that belongs to the rich and
the poor. It would be unnatural If we did
not feel the liveliest interest in all that
concerns the press, and, of course, a most
cordial regard for its conductors and a de
sire for their success, prosperity and hap
piness; and we should be happy to believe
that any should derive a useful hint from
this article, written in their interest and
the Interests of the people.
SENATOR HILL.
Senator Hill is stronger and able to walk
about his hotel. A piece or bone has work
ed out from the wound on his cheek and
It is hoped it will now heal. Many per
sons express unbounded confidence in the
curative powers of the Eureka Springs.
One case ls reported of a gentleman In the
last stages of cancer, who was cured.
Tho following is the latest from Senator
Hill, which we clip from the Constitution
of last Sunday:
Eureka Springs, Ark., May 13.—Fath
er’s condition varies so little day to day
that a daily bulletin, as requested by you,
would be unsatisfactory ami unnecessary.
His present condition is as follows: His
great weakness and emaciation is solely due
to hl3 long confinement In bed, and his Ina
bility to eat any but liquid food, constant
pain, only relieved by hypodermic injec
tions of morphia. His wound is apparent
ly healthy, and healing slowly. His appe
tite is good, but an Injury to his left jaw
bone prevents him from chewing any solid
food. His pulse, temperature, digestion
and general condition is normal, his own
spirits are bright and hopeful. Dr. Wright
who has been with him since the first oper
ation, expresses himself as encouraged.
Any material change, either for better or
worse, will be promptly wired you. He
desires to express to the people of Geor
gia his grateful appreciation for their kind
ness and sympathy. B. H. Hill, Jr. •
New Orleans Picayune: “Land that ls
rich enough to make a bale of cotton to tho
acre will produce thirty-five bushels of
corn and half that amount of clay peas, or
fifty bushels of corn and peas. These will
usually bring about one dollar a bushel.
If a man plants and cultivates all the corn
and peas he can save and another on tho
same kind of land plants and cultivates
all tho cotton he can rnuke aud save, which
crop will bring the most clear monev after
all expenses in sending to market are paid?
Tho corn, peas, pea hay, and enriching the
land by the pea crop, will certainly give
these a decided advantage over cotton.

The Age of Adulteration.
There have been ages of gold and mar
ble and brass, but this latter quarter of
the 19th century is emphatically the age
of adulteration. Everything wo oat or
drink, except, perhaps water, is adul
terated, and water would be if man
had auy thing to do with tho making of it.
Poetry, polities, aye, even religion is adul
terated, for have we not seen a party of
men putting their heads together to revise
the Bible—to clip and cut it as you would
a cancer, and thus furnish infidels like Bob
Ingersoil a handle to help the Devil
fight his battles with the human heart,
already “desperately wicked!” and to
smother the sentiments of love and rev
erence for tho Old Book that our mother
learnt us upon her kneo to consider God’s
word not man’s 1 Yes, religion is adulter
ated, and mountebanks and actors fill hun
dreds and hundreds of pulpits to-day
in America, who preach, not Christ and
him crucified, but the doctrine of hate, self-
love, free love. In poetry and science and
art adulterations mark each progressive
stop, until an Oscar Wilde with a sunflower
in his bonnet can run the nation crazy with
his twaddle and tricks of manner and
dress. If science reveals a great Invention,
some astute Yankee will make a cheap
Substitute and carry off all the gold and
glory. If there Is anything unadulterated
In this land of the free it is the corruption
and knavery of public officials. In almost
every department of the government, from
the President down to the humble post
master at Snooks’ store, there is unadul
terated rasicality plenty of It and plain as
day. But all this the people could bear
with some degree of fortitude—indeed, ev
ery’ adulteration the people aro called upon
to endure is but a mole-hill compared to the
adulteration of the food they daily oat.
This concerns their health and their lives,
and nothing Is so priceless as these. The
nefarious business ought to be stopped by
the strong arm of the law. The murderer
is hunted down and executed who takes a
fellow-being’s life—let the law ferret out
and punish to tho utmost the men who are
dally killing a whole peoplo by degrees,and
destroying all confidence between man and
man. “It ls most tolerable and not to be
endured.”
MR. STEPHENS.
A respected contemporary, alluding to
the probable candidacy and election of Mr.
Stephens to the executive chair of Georgia,
says, “In that case, it wmiia ba reversing
tho old rule of promotion, and ascending
downwards.” We beg to differ with the
writer. Thero is no office in the gift
of the people of the State so high, so
so honorable and so responsible as that
of Governor. In his hands, almost singly,
rest the rights of the people, the pro
tection of their honor and the enhance
ment of their personal and public weal. The
entire political machinery of the State is,
for the time being, manipulated by his
hands, and tho power that he wields 16 felt
In every hamlet of the laud, as well as in
the strongest commercial centres and
business thoroughfares. A Congressman
may grow to a national Importance, and
command a wider field of political ma-
noeuverlng than the Governor of a State
can attain, but he is not likely, as history
has proven, to reach tho highest office In
the gift of the people, if ho has never been
the executive-of his own State. No, if Mr.
Stephens is honored by the people of ills
native State with the chief magistracy, It
will be highest honor ever paid him, and
one that will fitly bo tho crowning act
of a constituency by whom ho has been
often trusted, and of whom he is ever
proud. We shall support tho nominee of
the democratic party for Governor.
THE TRESS CONVENTION.
The attendance, at the Press Convention,
held at Augusta, on tho 10th instant, was

though he had solicited the convention to
select 6ome one else as he had served them

not let him retire, so devoted were they to
him as their President. Mr. C. W. Han
cock was elected Vice President; Mr. C. P.
Hansell, Corresponding Secretary; Mr. H.
W.J. Ham, Recording Secretary, and Mr.
