GRANT FOR A THIRD TERM.
A Washington dispatch says, that a
movement is being made to bring out Grant
as a candidate for a third terra. The mean
ing of this is Empire. Those who are en
gaged in this movement, say, openly, they
want a stronger government and one man
rule, and they think that all the great rail
road corporations, the banks, the specula
tors, and millionaires of the country, arc
ready for an empire and will readily en
gage in the scheme to establish it. We do
not believe they will. Some may desire it,
but the majority are not yet ready to echo
a scheme so damnable as that. Our opin
ion is, the Republicans fear a defeat in
1884, and think that Grant could more cer
tainly lead to victory than any other man
in their ranks. Grant was a fuli-tledged
candidate lor the nomination for a third
term in 1SS0. The Republicans knew his
history well, and would not nominate him.
The result of the election last November,
does not justify the idea that, as a party,
they are united in a desire to break down
our free and democratic institutions. We
think that many, in that party, have dis
covered the occult arts by which their lead
ers have sought to change tho government
from its pure simplicity to one more intri
cate and unrepublican, to destroy the
states and concentrate all power ia the
hands of a more majority, preparatory
to the establishment of impcralism upon
our Institutions in which the people are
the sources of ail political power.
Many of them have seen tho political
corruptions and crimes which have result
ed from the doctrines of their leaders. Tins
is our opinion, and upon it we found our
hopes of reform and safety. Those men
will come to the aid of the Democrats in
their efforts to preserve the institutions
and liberties we have inherited from tho
revolutionary fathers. To attempt to run
General Grant for a third term upon the
programme of a strong consolidated gov
ernment, with the hope of an imperial es
tablishment, will bring to the Democrats a
million of Republican votes, in 1884. The |
Republican people, we do not mean the lead- j
ers, love liberty as well as the Democrats, j

about the good old times and the good old
people of Milledgevflle and Baldwin, and
we go ahead without ceremony.
Last Monday issued Iu our court, and it
attracted some old g. ntlemer,-, and the first
we met was Mr. William Buies. He was
in good health, and glad to see us. Well,
uncle William, we said, tell us something
about old times.
Tho venerable man replied, “I am to-day
I b: li- vt, the oldest native born citizen of
the county.”
The Reporter asked him how It was so.
“Sir,” he su'd, "I was born on Town Creek
dividing Baldwin and Hancock, on the
Baldwin slue, in 1803. I moved to Wilkinson
county when a boy, and have lived all my
life within 16 miles of where I was born.
I only say, sir, I am tho oldest living citi
zen oT Baliiwin born in the county here to
day.” Uncle Billy BmIob was right. But j
as he moved out of the county when a boy, |
wo pass on to another old citizen, Mr. A. !
W. Martin, and let’s listen to this good j
old man’s talk:
Mr. Martin, we asked, tell us something
you know about old MUledgeviile, and the
times long, long ago.
“Certainly, sir, and where shall I begin?”
Hie reporter asked him to go ahead, ami
he wouldn’t often interrupt him.
Mr. Martin said: “I was born in Han
cock county in 1810, and came to Baldwin
when a boy, and only lived hero a few
years, wiien 1 went to Maoon, and then to
Texas, where I passed most or my life. I
can’t claim therefore to be au old citizen oT
Milledgeville, as to the years I have lived
here.”
But, said tiie reporter, you were hero
when Gov. Troup took the reins of govern
ment?
“Yes, sir,” said Mr. M., “and I will tell
you a little about him. He was short in
stature, but compactly built, and straight
as an Indian’s arrow. He did not occupy
the Governor’s bouse, as It was called, on
account of a family affliction, but boarded
Washington, Jan. 12.—Mr. Ingalls, in
the Senate, introduced a bill to provide
1 for determining the existence, and also tho
: termination of the inability of the Presi*
; dent of the United States to discharge the
' powers and duties of tho office. The bill
! provides, that whenever the heads of the
] departments shall state in writing to the
j Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, that
the President is unable to discharge the
: powers and duties of his office, if the
court be not then sitting, tho Chief Justice
shall, within ten days, convene it to hear
and determine summarily the question of
the alleged inability, and if upon said hear
ing, it shall appear to said Court that
such inability exists, they shall certify
their decision to tho Vice President, who
shall thereupon exercise the duties and
powers of President. The second section
makes a similar provision to determine
the removal of the President’s disability.
Referred to the Judiciary Committee.
House.—The House considered the Whip
ping bill and struck out the draw back,
free ship and free material provisions, by
a vote or 158 yeas, to 54 nays. The bill
then passed.
Senate —Jan. 14.—Mr. Ingalls Introduc
ed a blil to provide for the appointment of
a commission to consider the subject of
railroad transportation, and all abuses in
regard to combinations, exorbitant rates
of freight, etc., and in what manner exist
ing evils can be remedied. The commis
sion must report to Congress by the first
Monday in December, 1883.
House.—The House passed the army
pension bill. It appropriates $101,700,000
to pay pensions on one year. Tho fortifi
cation bill was also passed. The pension
for total blindness is fifty dollars per
month. Blindness in one eye twelve dol
lars per month. Total deafness twenty-
flve dollars per month. Impaired hearing
in proportion.
Senate.—Jan. 15.—Mr. Butler, of S. C.,
introduced a bill, making an appropriation
with Mrs. Jenkins who kept the hotel at 1 to continue work on the jetties of Charles

the Oconee bridge. [This house is now oc
cupied by Judge L. II. Thomas.[ lie was
very fond of horse-back riding, and he cut
a lively figure when he rode out, as he of

Reporter.—One minute: You knew Col.
R. L. Mott, late of Columbus, Ga., and
l-mg a trustee of the Lunatic Asylum, and
who was so sadly killed in the Atlanta de
pot, a few years ago?
‘Yes sir,” said Mr. SI., “I know him well,
lie was a tailor in Milledgeville, when I
came here. He made me many a suit of
clothes, and he made the suit or clothes
Gov. Troup was Inaugurated in. Oh, those
were exciting days—Troup and Clark—
never saw anything like it. Even the boys
caught the fever, and nicknames were giv
en youths as they favored Troup or Clark.”
Well, Mr. Martin, said the reporter, you
know something of Gen. LaFayutto’s vis
it here in 1825?
“Yes, sir, I saw it all,” said Sir. Martin.
“The General was escorted to the city hy
a cavalry company from Hancock county,
(forget the named He and escort were ro-
eeiv. il at or near the Oconee river by the
Baldwin cavalry company, commanded by
my step-fat her, Capt. Wm. F. Scott, who
kept the Hall named for LaFayette, loca
ted just where the Catholic church stands
to-day. It was the biggest day I suppose
Milledgeville ever saw. Thousands were
here from adjoining counties, and even dis
tant towns.”
You were at the ball In the State House,
given in his honor, I suppose, said the re
ton harbor. The Senate considered the
Tariff bill. The tariff on cotton seed oil
was placed at 25 cents per gallon.
House.—Gen. Joseph Wheeler was sworn
in as a member from tho eighth District of
Alabama.
Senate.—Jan. 17.—The Senate discussed
the tariff bill. Senator Vance, of N. C,
discussed the crockery and glassware
schedule. Ho read a circular of the Mal
aga Glass Manufacturing Company of
New Jersey, announcing that after four
months Idleness caused by strikes, they
have resumed operations anil are working
with “French operatives, who have prov

would soon see that he was used as a dupe
by tiie men whose professions or “protec
ting” him were merely a pretext for levy
ing taxes.
In the House. J. T. Cain was sworn in
as a delegate from Utah.
The main business in the Senate on tho
18th was a continuation of the discussion
of the tariff bill.
There was but little business of impor

We have greatly regretted to see notices
of some embarrassment in the affairs of
this road. It is a favorite with the peo

proceedings, that the trouble is only tem
porary. Tho president, Mr. Eugene F. Ver-
dery, and the other officers have performed
their duties satisfactorily, and so far the
earnings of the road have even exceeded
the expectation of the stockholders. Within

by what has already been accomplish

The idea appears to prevail at Washing

the present session of Congress. The Sen

Any gunshot or knife wound, on a limb,

HOW MUCH DO WE FORGET.
It Is humiliating to reflect how little is
subsequently retained after passing
through the trying ordeal of school and
college life. At least seven school-boys,
out of ten, make a point of forgetting their
Latin and Greek and sorno other studies,
too, with as much rapidity as possible.
Some of them say that such persons are
bettter than those who never studied tiie

TilE POVERTY OF THE COUNTRY
AND ITS CURE.
One of tho elder sources of tho almost
universal poverty of this section is tho
want of energy, or, in plain English, “la
ziness.” Some are unfortunate and sur
rounded by circumstances which ail pos
sible industry and exertion would not over
come, and such as these are objects of
sympathy and indulgence, but the great
est number of those who are now debt-rid
den and In distress have nothing so much
to blame us their own want of attention
to their avocations, and their unwilling
ness to work.
No man can expect to succeed, and no
man deserves to succeed in any business
unless he labors hard and demotes him
self faithfully to It. “There is no excel
lence without labor,” and there is no suc
cess without labor.
II- >w can a farmer, a doctor, a lawyer,
a merchant or a man in any other calling
hop.' u> make either reputation or money
without untiring and persistent toil? It
is the greatest mistake to suppose pros
perity, in any undertaking, possible with
out effort. Whoever heard of a physician
becoming distinguished, or even indepen
dent, who neglected his patients and failed
to keep posted on the constant changes
and progress in medical science. There is
the lawyer who is soon left hopelessly in
the rear of his competitors, unices he be
stows faithful and untiring attention upon
his cases and to tiie study of ills profes
sion. What merchant can stand the pres
sure of the limes who is not ever attentive
to the wants of his customers, and who
does not keep advised of thefiuctuAtlons of
the market? And thus wo might go
through the whole list of occupations.
We desire to say a word to our farming
friends, and we do it in no spirit of cen
sure or unkind ness. We advise you to
wi irk, and to make every person on your
places, who is able to do so, work. This
is the secret of success in tho North, and
in the East, in the West—everywhere
but in tho South. They have no idlers.
Here they ore numerous. If all the availa
ble muscle of tho State of Georgia was
properly exerted it would not be long be
fore any man you met would be good tor a
hundred dollars without a mortgage, while
now such a man is hard to find.
It will require work—hard, disagreeable
and universal work—to redoem this coun
try from its poverty, but such work would
doit, and place us, with our groat natural
advantages of soil and climate, beyond tho
most favored countries of the earth.—Ogle

GSAND JURY PRESENTMENTS.
We the Grand Jury of Baldwin County,
forth©January Term, 1383, beg leave to
make the following ;r*>n^rr.l presentments:
Wo have examined tho books, dockets,
! records, receipts, accounts, vouchers and
I papers or the Ordinary, County Judge,
j Treasurer, Clerk of the Superior Court,
1 Sheriff, Justices of the Peace, School Com-
i mFsfoner and Tux Collector and find them
| all respectively, neatly and correctly kept,
j and wc think the countv fortunate in hav-
' ing such competent officers to fill these
important posi'ions.
We recomm'':id that proper steps be
taken for funding the County Bonds at a
lower rate of interest, so as to relievo, for
the lime being, the c untv from the heavy
taxation. f
rAaDS AND RRIDUES.
The roads, I generally, are in bad order
owing to the imaossibilUy of working
them duringuii-'/rccent continued rains.
Wo recotnmeiVi trial the Commissioners bo
required to put/hem in order as soon ns
practicable.
The bridges Jd? In good order, with th?
exception of tip river bridge, somn of tho
braces of whiiri arc lriose at the top and
should tie recfireif at once. The raft now
forming on tijc miortle pier should bo re
moved, and rh? ! ridge inside, should be
cleaned out «iec a month, r.!! of which wo
recommend*) be done.
Wo find IBrit there arc no foot bridges
over the Double brandies and when thesn
branches arc in the least swollen by rains,
it is exceedingly difficult even for a man
to cross, and as there are young ladies in
Midway, attending college in the city, wo
earnestly recommend that the City Coun
cil immediately put suitable bridges over
both these streams.
Ia ca.-e tho City Council docs not put tho
bridges that are recommended across the
Double branches immediately, we recom
mend that it bo dono by the Ordinary, at
once as they aro sadly needed.
We recommend that tho City Council put
m good order the embankments on either
end of town bridge across Fishing creek.
As there are many ro.uls in tho county
too narrow for vehicles to pass, by reason
of having been encroached upon by fences
and other obstacles, we recommend tiiat
tiie road Commissioners see to it that tho
roads are extended to their proper width.
THE POOR HOUSE,
We find kept in a cleanly, orderly and
economical manner.
Wc recommend that an additional room
be added to the framed house of tho col
ored department.
We recommend that Mrs. Alien, tho
Matron, and her daughter, tho nurse, bo
paid seven and one half dollars per month,
each, for adequate services rendered.
We recommend tiiat tho three dormito
ries, in u?“, the large room, the kitchen
and dining room of tho house in the white
department, be furnished with at least ono
gliiz'-d sash window, and that tiie dormi
tories in tho house of the colored depart
ment be furnished with two glazed sash
windows.
We recommend that plank be placed over
head in the three dormitories in use, the
kitchen and dining room in tho houso of
tho white department.
THE SCHOOL COMMISSIONER
now having S511.S0 surplus on hand, pro
poses to pay the teachers for throe months
and a half, instead n* three months as
heretofore.
the j * TL.
Wc find the jail neatly kept. We find tho
capacity of the jail wholly insufficient, and
recommend that tiie two lower rooms bo
made perfectly secure for tiie safe keeping
of nrv prisoner.
These repairs have been recommended
by several Grand Juries, but no notico
has been taken of their recommendation.
We also recommend that shutters tie put
to all the eel! windows, thus rendering tho
ceils mor- comfortable.
We further recommend that two addi
tional rooms be added to the Jailor's dwell
ing, thereby giving to him and his family,
the needed room and comfort.
As the business of the Grand Jury has
been sadly retarded on account of not hav
ing the witnesses promptly on hand, wo
recommend that thou? who aro to blamo
for lliis delay bo dealt with in such a man
ner as to insure prompt attendance of wit
nesses in tiie future.
These presentments would bo in-
coniplete did we not thank ids Honor,
Judge Lawson, and Solicitor General Whit
field, for their kind and dignified fe aring
to us during our sittings, and sincerely
trust tiiat the State will always have sucli
efficient and courteous gentle men to ad
minister tier laws.
We recommend that these presentments
