We will put his views before our readers
next week.
The New York World says that Robert P.

Some of the veterans of Gettysburg,
both Federal and Confederate, are now-
fighting over again that great decisive bat
tle. This time, however, the batte is being
fought, not with artillery, but with artil
lery punch.
The dam at Dr. Crawtord’s mill, ten miles
below the city was broken by a wash on
Thursday night last. About 40 yards of
the dam Is gone. We understand it is the
intention of Dr. Crawford to make decided
improvements when he begins the work
of reconstruction.
We have never seen finer cabbages at
this season than have been raised in the
city this year. Air. A. J. Miller of Wilkin
son county sent tho writer a hard headed
one, a day or two ago, that, after being
closely clipped, measured 34 inches in cir
cumference.
The Philadelphia Record say’s, a New
York lawyer has earned perhaps the larg
est contingent fee on record. The United
States Supreme Court has decided that the
specific duty of 50 cents per pound on all
hosiery or knit gooes into which wool en
ters is illegal. The government will have
to refund to importers $11,000,000, and the
lawyer for the importers took the ease on
a contingent fee of one half, and will get
$5,500,000 for his fee.
The Republicans and Monopolists expect
to retain power in tho future, as they have
in the past, by squeezing enormous gains
and profits from the poor through a high
tariff, and then when the day of election
comes around, they set aside enough of
this money to buy votes sufficient to insure
ttie victory to their side. They buy the vot
ers with the voter’s own money, tho mon
ey which they have filched from them and
thus are a portion of the deluded masses
made to rivet their own chains.
The Telegraph and Messenger ask-; us
i tri piove our statement that two-thirds
; of the democratic press of tho State favor
! the nomination of Mr. Stephens for Gov-
! ernor. We have not kept a record of the
• papers favoring Mr. Stephens’ nomination
: for Governor, hence cannot give the names
t of the journals, but we have counted over
fifty, and that believe is two-thirds of the
press that have expressed any preference
at all on this particular subject. We will,
however, try to make our assertion good,
hereafter, or retract.
Mr. Stephens has written a splendid his
torical and philosophical work “The War
between the States.” Also a treatise on
the Letters of Junius, the Code of Honor
and a school history, autl now has in press
a new work. General Sehenck wrote a val
uable work on “Poker.” Suppose Mr. Ste
phens adds another laurel to bis literary
fame and another contribution to Ameri
can literature by writing an analytical and
historical work on “Whist.” We believe
the book would be immensely popular and
would introduce to many, who are in igno
rance, the charms and pleasure of that fas
cinating game.
Four reasons are given for the great rise
in the price of beef. The large shipments
from this country to Europe for nine years
past, averaging over four thousand head
per week from the three ports of New
York, Boston and Philadelphia. Secondly;
Two winters ago 500,000 head of cattle per
ished from cold and hunger in the west.
The third reason was, the excessive drouth
that prevailed last summer and the sum
mer before. It was impossible to feed the
cattle and many were sold to the butchers.
Fourth: The Mississippi floods drowning
thousands of cattle. In villages in the
interior of New York good beef sells as
high as thirty-five cents a pound.
What Did It?—Some people and some
papers are disposed to give to the press
the preponderance of credit for tho im
mense grain crops which have just been
harvested in Georgia and other Southern
States. The press is entitled to a small
share of the credit for this glorious result,
but the preponderance is due to the fact
that Credit wax dead, and the farmers were
reduced to the extremity of "root hog or
die.” The merchants hud been so often
caught, notwithstanding their heavy per
cent., on timo sales, and their carefully
drawn promises to pay, that they deter
mined to quit the credit business, and told
the farmers so. Reduced to this extremity,
there was no recourse from certain starva
tion and ruin, unless they made oats to
take the place of corn by the middle o'
May. Under this stimulus, every farmer,
not entirely independent, prepared his
ground and planted oats and wheat. Prov
idence assisted with good seasons, and tiie
lesson and the blessing should not be for
gotten in the future.
The New York Sun says, that the causes
of the strikes in the North are high prices
of living caused Wy a high tariff, and the
low wages which are not sufficient to sup
port the working classes. These troubles
could be very easily remedied without
detriment to anybody. Tho tariff, which
averages about 44 per cent, on dutiable ar
ticles/could be reduced to an average of
25 per cent. This would be ample protec
tion to the manufacturing industries of the
country. The Internal revenue taxes could
be reduced one-half. Tito business of the
country would increase fifty per cent, in
twelve months, and the cost of Jiving
would bo greatly reduced, aud foreign
markets would open up to our manufac
turers, the revenues of the government
would decline but little, and the cry of hard
times would be changed to a period of bus
iness activity and posperity. Nothing but
the immense emigration to this country
from Europe, and the cotton crops made
at the South have enabled the people to
stagger under the load of taxation since the
war. It will bo five years before any mate
rial relief can come, as it will take that
time to place both branches or Congress
and the Presidency in the possession of tho
Democracy. The House will almost cer
tainly be Democratic, and the Presidency
will be obtained in 1884 and the Senate in
188G. As long as either of these three
branches of the government remain in the
hands of the Republicans there will be no
thorough chango in the present mode of
taxation. To delay matters and delude the
people, Congress has put the matter of re
form in taxation in the charge of a roving
commission, who are expected to spend
the most of the time at watering places,
eating, drinking and merry-making, and
finally return a report sustaining the main
features of the present tariff. It is a trick
concocted by Congress, and the President
has appointed the commission to carry in
to effect the trick.
We daily read of the rope ending many

Worms and.the Bowel Disorders of Chil
dren were much more dreaded until the in- I

ders.)
The recent iaw, passed by Congress, re
tiring officers of the army at the age of 64,
is a good provision in several respects. A
soldier after G4 is not capable of great phy-
i sicai effort and requires repose, and by re-
1 tiring them, inferior officers have a chance
of promotion. Of course the time when
the physical powers of men become too
1 feeble for the active life of the soldier va
ries according to different individuals anc
different circumstances,
to be prescribed and some age had to bo
fixed tipun. One of the Houses made it 62,
but finally 64 was adopted. We think 60
would have been better than either. The
discussion was general and interesting.
Senator Logan said, 18 years ago he had
staid in the saddle 36 hours, consecutively,
but now he could not. Referring to Sena
tor Morrill, who is 70 years old, he said he
could draw a very good tariff bill, but was
hardly lit to lead a cavalry charge. An
other Senator alluded to the fact that
while Von Moltke, a veteran of 70 years,
planned the German campaigns in the last
war with France, it was the young Ger
man Princes who did the active work.
Nearly all the great Generals in history
achieved their fame when young. Napo
leon, the first soldier of ancient or modern
times, entered tiie army at 16, commanded
the Army of Italy at tiie age of 26, and
fought his last battle, Waterloo, at the age
of 45. Ney, Lannos, Junot, Murat, and
nearly all tho most distinguished of Napo
leon’s marshals were about his age. When
our civil war began. Grant was 38, and
Sheridan 30. Lee, Beauregard, the two
Johnstons, McClellan, and other noted
Generals wore not old men. Jackson, Gor
don, Cleburne, Forrest, Morgan, Wheeler,
Hampton, and nearly all the conspicuous
Generals on both sides, were comparative
ly young men, and some of them quite
young.
The Duke of Wellington, at Waterloo,
was 47. Alexander the Great, died at 33.
Cit'sar put in his fighting from the age of
40 to 52. Hannibal took command of the
Carthaginian army at 26 and in his great
campaigns, when he routed the Romans
so often and threatened with capture the
Eternal City, he was a young man. He
was 64 when he died, and retired from the
stage of life at the age our officers will be
retired from the army. Washington *was
43 when the American Revolution began,
and General Greene, who is considered the
ablest of our Revolutionary Generals, next
to Washington, was 32. Of course there
are exceptions to this rule, as there are to
nearly all rules. There havo been many
brave old Generals who performed distin
guished service, but the bulk of the heavy
lighting lias been done by Generals from
thirty to fifty years old. As to the private
soldiers, upon whom the heavy brunt of
battle and war falls, the proportion of
young to old men, is still greater. The
bulk of private soldiers are from 20 to 35
years of age. War thins the ranks, and
those who are left rise to the higher posi
tions. Tho greater ease and comfort of
the officers enable them to bear the bur
dens and fatigue of the army to a greater
age than the gallant privates, from whose
unknown heroism and lavish blood thg
fame anti glory of all the great soldiers
come, in the same way that the gold and
wealth of the rich come from the sweat
and labor of the poor.
ATTICrS—MR. BLACK.
We respectfully ask the attention of our
readers, to the extract which we take from
a very able, eloquent and appropriate ar
ticle, over t lie signature of Atticus, which
appeared first in the Chronicle <k Constitu
tionalist, and was republished in the Au
gusta Evening News. Wo read it with
no ordinary pleasure because of its admir
able style, tho strong sense, calm and clear
judgment, penetration, and candor it dis
plays in commending Air. Black’s exalted
merits to the people of tho 8th congression
al district. The author is a highlyeultiva-
ted and rising young lawyer whose talents
are unmistakably exhibited in his hand
some and most interesting eulogy of Air.
Black, especially that part of it whichrefers
to liis early youthful career. It is unnec
essary for us to say more, as all our read
ers will be able to judge of its merits for
themselves. Every one will be struck with
the moral sublimity displayed by Mr.
Black in contenting himself to march and
fight in tiie ranks, when it was in his power
to have obtained some official station by
which lie could have risen from grade to
grade and secured distinguished laurels
during the longterm of his service, which
lasted to the close of the war.
The epaulet and the sword could not se
duce hint from the position of the ranks,
and the elevation to a seat in congress
can never turn him from his fidelity to
their interests and rights. At the battle
of Waterloo, when a few of Napoleon’s
old guards were still left, the British,
wishing to save the lives of such brave
men, proposed to them to surrender. Cant-
bron, one of tiie number answered deri
sively ; “Tiie old guardian die, they never
surrender.” Mr. Black, firm, faithful and
unconquerable if clothed with representa
tive power, is such a man as Cambron, and
though, overpowered by numbers, lie will
never surrender tho rights entrusted to
his protection.

HON. JAMES C. C. BLACK
For Congress, a* Mr. Stephens' Successor,
The writer of Atticus refers briefly to Air.
Stephens’ illustrious career, speaks or him
as the apostle of the people’s Liberty, and
favors his election to the Chief Magistra
cy of the State of Georgia. We regret to
omit, for want of space all this introductory
part of the address of Atticus. After saying
But a limit hac. | ing, “Iu this connection it may not be im
proper to ask of the people of the District
whom deem they as worthy of the succes- \
sion, and upon whose shoulders, by the om- 1
niiic fiat ol their voice, shall fall the man j
tie of the illustrious Stephens?” Atticus ‘
proceeds as follows:
We know no better cardinal rule that may
be observed in safety for our guidance than
that most excellent principle firstannounc-
ed and promulgated by an eminent jurist ! no longer with the College, but was a citi-

“Whereas, J. C. C. Black has positively
refused lo submit to the authority of the
Faculty and lias demanded an honorable
dismissiou.
“Resolved, That this demand be refused
and his connection with the College be dis
solved by the unanimous vote of the Fac
ulty.” This was on May 15,1862.
Passion now ruled the hour. It had
overcome the Faculty of an institotion of
learning, it had made tiie sage of the lec
ture room turn from his cold abstractions
and hesitate not to insult, for political
opinion sake, tho brightest and foremost
of its young men. Young Black realized
why the indignity was put upon him. He
bore it like a man. He attended com
mencement and heard the stigma publish
ed by announcement. But here it was he
found his justification, for people were
with him, and no sooner had he entered
the chapel than his ear was greeted with
calls from his fellow students and his ad
mirers calling upon him to speak. This ho
refused to do, bowing to the College au
thorities in whose house he was and re
minded his friends that he was connected
SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.
Many people, and some of them intelli
gent poor men, are afflicted with the chron
ic complaint of abusing the great money
kings like Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, Keene,
Ac., calling them enemies of the poor man,
bloated bondholders, money tyrants, and
other more disreputable epithets, because
they are gobbling up all the railroads, tel-
egraph lines, Ac., in the country. Do they
ever reflect on these things; By thus
using their wealth, they scatter millions of
dollars among the laboring classes, assist
the government by investing their money
heavily in U. S. bonds, and do not use
their wealth in a direction that might
otherwise make serfs of tiie poor men of
the land. Suppose, instead of investing
their immense wealth in railroads, tele
graph lini-s. ships, Ac., they were to put it
inland? Why, Vanderbilt alone could buy
every acre of land in the State of Virginia
outside of the large cities anti town. Sup
pose a dozen of t ese money kings should
form a syndicate to buy up all the land in
in lliree or four States, tiiCy would put the
white men of those States in a worse fix
than the Irish are to-day, because they
would have to contend with . negro labor.
Poor men should consider those things,
and be content to let well enough alone.
Society Relics.
On account of its remarkably delicate
and l isting fragrance society befles are
loud in their praises ot F'oresion Cologne.
and law writer in good old England.
Says lie: “In general, all mankind will
agree that government should lie reposed
in such (icrsons in whom these qualities
are most likely to be found, tiie perfection
of which is among the attributes of him
who is emphatically styled the Supreme
Being; tho three great requisites, I mean,
of wisdom, of goodness and of power; wis
dom to discern the real interest of the
community; goodness to endeavor always
to pursue that real interest; and strength
or power to carry this knowledge and in
tention into action.”
In applying the tests here laid down, we
have in our mind’s eyo a man whom Lite
common judgment of all men, wherever he
is known, will agree in tho assertion that he
possesses the wisdom to discern the real
interest .of the community, the goodness to
endeavor to pursue that interest and power
to carry these into action. He is no strang
er to this people—his name has traveled
the circuit of favorable criticism of this
Commonweaith. Deemed worthy by many
to bold the highest place in the State, noun-
stinted measure of praise lias been accord
ed him. Holding the good will of ail man
ner of men, he has never been found want
ing when weighed in the balances of pub
lic opinion, or proved recreant to a confi
dence reposed. Ho is a man of genial tem
perament and amiable qualities, with a heart
full of the milk of human kindness. Al
though easy of approach and courteous in
manner tiie hand ot dishonor lias never
soiled tiie integrity of His high character,
or the purity of his unblemished Christian
name. In His friendship, he is warm and
appreciative, mindful of mutual obliga
tions which this relation suggests. Not
without scholarly attainments, his learn
ing is neither pedantic nor lacking in ver
satility and profundity. A sound lawyer
aud a clear reasoner, he ranks among tiie
foremost names of the Georgia bar. As an
advocate and orator, it is not fulsome praise
to say that he is primus inter pares, in stir
ring the heart, moving the conscience and
persuading the intelligence of men. His
talents peculiarly fit him for public service,
the bent of his mind leans to tiie science of
government, and the powers of the man
will leave their impress upon this genera
tion. May we be permitted hereto name
him, whom tiie people of this citv, and
largely in the District, have turned their
eyes toward as a lawyer of great ability,
as a Christian gentleman of highest honor,
as a statesman whose patriotic heart is im
bued with the sacred principles of the
Republic—we mean James C. C. Biaek. of
Augusta.
We said above that Mr. Black was happi
ly and peculiarly fitted to represent out-
people in Congress, and that he had
requisite qualities of wisdom, goodness
anu strength and that a public servant
ought to have. If lie possesses them,
will he exercise them in critical times for
his people, should the occasion }arise in
tiie future? The past is oftentimes ti
criterion of the future; and especially
is this true of men and life work. Let
us hastily run over the career of Air.
James C. C. Black and know his bear
ings and see what there is in him that
endears him to our citizens. Ho is the
grandson of an eminent and eloquent Bap
tist preacher, ami the son of a noble and
useful physician; in his veins flows the
blood of a liberty loving people lor more
than two generations, conspicuous for love
of Democratic principles. He was born on
May 9. 1842, in Scott county, Kentucky.
His boyhood days were passed under the
sacred influence of home and in obtaining
tho rudimental training attainable in tho
neighboring schools. In the Fail of 4857,
he entered tiie Henry Male Seminary,which
was presided over by Prof. E. D. Isabell,
one of tiie best educators of his day, and
here he exhibited the manly traits of char
acter and strong mental faculties that have
distinguished him in his intercourse with
men in his subsequent life. Prof. Isabell,
in his letter of certificate to the Faculty of
Georgetown College, under dato of June 23,
1859, commends young Black in tho follow
ing language. Says lie: “His grade of
scholarship is the highest—i. e., perfect.
His deportment in every respect unexcep
tionable. I have no hesitation in saying lie is
fully prepared to enter, with honor to him
self, any college that I am acquainted with.
I tako great pleasure in saying I have nev
er had any young'man under my instruc
tion more uniformly diligent, obedient and
respectful. I cheerfully recommend him,
both as to scholarship arid deportment, to
any institution he may wish to enter.”
Having completed tho curriculum at the
seminary, which covered tiie ground occu
pied by the freshman and sophomore
classes, armed witli credentials from an
educatorof rare abilities and large experi
ence, young Black, at tiie age of 17, en
tered Georgetown College, fully prepared
and equipped by nature and study to com
mence tho brilliant and eventful college
course that lay before liim. In a short
timo, without display or ostentation, with
ease to himself and with freedom among
his carapanions, he easily pushed to the
fi
zen like themselves visiting eommence-
i ment.
Those days are gone to return no more,
it is fondly hoped. Men have returned to
the pursuits of peace. Tiie fires of passion
are burned to ashes. Tiie Faculty at
Georgetown lung since have repented of
their unwise action. Among the first fruits
of peace was to restore James C, C. Black
to the roll of the alumni and forward to
him his rightfully earned diploma, which
tic received since His residence iu Augusta.
Soon after leaving college, Air. Black start
ed to join tiie Confederate army, and was
captured before crossing the lines and im
prisoned at Camp Morton and Johnson’s
Island; was exchanged at Vicksburg, Aliss-
issippi, and entered the army as a private
soldier iu Company A, Ninth Kentucky
Cavalry, under the command of Gen. John
II. Alorgan, where he continued a private
until the end of tiie war, Col. Wm. E. P.
Breekenridge, the commanding Colonel of
Mr. Black's regiment, and now one of the
foremost lawyers and orators of Kentucky,
bears this testimony of him as a soldier.
He says: “He was a dutiful, subordldate,
gallant soldier, and in every act a gentle
man. Educated at Georgetown, the son of
a gentleman, he was in every respect enti
tled to the esteem, confidence and affection
of his officers and comrades, and did re
ceive these from ail who knew him. * *
I. who write tliis, have seen him under cir
cumstances that not only try but reveal
men, and 1 am assured that there lives no
truer, kindlier gentleman.”
After the war lie returned home to real
ize home no longer what it had been. Im
pressed with tiie recuperative powers of
Georgia, and fancying a kind red sympathy
between himself and the people of Georgia,
he moved to Augusta aboutOctober 1,1865.
Here, in pursuance of a purpose which the
war had arrested,he commenced tiie study
of the law iu the office of Frank H. Alilier,
Esq., and was admitted at the April term.
1866, of Richmond Superior court to prac
tice law, after six months’ reading. Mr.
Black’s rise at the bar has been stead y and
rapid, until to-day he stands among its best
pleaders and advocates. He has field, and
still holds, many positions of honor and
trust among the "people of the city of Au
gusta, county of Richmond and Common
wealth of Georgia; served in the City Coun
cil of Augusta, succeeded Gen. A. R. Wright
as City Attorney about January,1873, under
Mayor Estes, and continued to be the city’s
legal adviser until about January 1879 dur
ing tiie administrations of Alayor Estes
and Mayor Meyer; served in the Legisla
ture of Georgia in 1875-6-7. and was Elec
tor for State at large in 1880. He is now
Presidentof tiie Augusta Orphan Asylum,
Trustee of Mercer Uu’versity and also of
the Southern Baptist Theological Semina
ry.
In every position to which he h»s been
called be has shown his fitness and ability
to discharge the duties which the place re
quired. He is firm in his opposition t° the
rule that the man should not seek official
station, for the sake cf morel v holding
office for the purpose of self-aggrandi se "
ment. He belongsto that other and better
school of our public men—among whom
are found the purest and most patriotic,
such as Stephens, Johnson, Jenkins, Cam
ming and others—who think t hat the peo
ple should express their right of selection,
and that no man should enter upon the
discharge of a great public trust-fraught
as it is witli cares and obligations—for tho
sake of self-advancement, but rather be
cause no citizen lias the right to refuse
when called by the people to represent
them, their rights and their liberties.
May the lime return to our people again
when the good old rule will be re-establish
ed that the place and office maV seek the
man and not the man tho office. Then,
again, will our State be productive in great
and honored names and then will come the
day when we will see pure, high-minded,
exalted men in office whom tho world wlli
call statesmen.
As one tried in boyhood, youth, early ami
mature manhood, and always doing well
and fearlessly that which appearing then
and there to be the l ight thing to do, we
commend .Tames C. C. Black to the people
of the Eighth Congressional District.
