them there by injustice ■
are no better hearted people in the world
than the Irish. Humanity, alone, demands
a change. Were ordinary justice admin
istered to them, there would be no excuse
for violations of public order, and the Irish'
would be as free from disturbing it as the
best people in Euglaud. It is the want of
justice and humanity that has so long kept
the czar of Russia a prisoner In his palace
surrounded by his guards. It is this that
makes him tremble at the thought of go
ing to Moscow to be crowned. What is a
government worth that don’t protect tho

above all things to promote their prosperi

W’hile, in Germany, there is compara

Blsmark; but the latter is not a very bad
man.* i8till tire people are restive under

less socialism in Germany.
France is a kind of disjointed Republic,

TO AGRICULTURISTS ESPECIALLY.
[CONCLUDED.]
Agriculture Is the chief basis of all
wealth. Writers on political economy us
ually say that labor is the main or oDly
source of wealth. That is true, but the la
bor which dlg6 the iron, the coal and other
metals from the earth and converts its
productions into cloths of all klnd6, and
the metals aud other articles into machine
ry, into knives and forks and glass for
windows, looking glasses, etc., is but a
small part of the labor experienced by the
agriculturists, who raise everything for
the support and sustenance of the human
family. The labor of the farmers of the
country, la the aggregate, is ten times as
great as all tho other put together.
Our object, In this brief address, is to
show that you have to bear, under the
prpsentlaws of the confederation, neatly
the whole of the expenses of tho Federal
Government and nearly twice as much as
those expenses, besides. We beg you to
give your careful attention to the facts wo
propose to lay before you In this commu
nication. We showed you la9t week, and
proved it to you by Indisputable facts, that
the tax upon tho people of Georgia under
the present protective tariff, is thirty mil
lions of dollars per year. Let us see now,
how that tax is borne. The railroads use
many articles that are highly taxed. But
owners of the roads save themselves by
imposing higher freights upon all who use
their roads. Merchants and others, and
all who travel on the roads have to pay
those higher freights, or cease to use the
roads. The merchants add those high
freights to the price of their goods, which
were already taxed by the protective tariff.
They add the railroad tariff ^nd the Uni
ted States tariff and then their tariff to
their goods and sell them to you. Thus
all these taxes fall upon you, except the
tax upon that part of the population, snch as
lawyers, doctors, artizans, and others who
live upon their means and have no special
occupations at all. Well, the lawyers and
the doctors protect themselves In the bills
they present for their services. The black
smiths, the shoe makers, carpenters and
others, who shoe your horses and build
your ho-jses, protect themselves in the
same way. Now you canuot blame the
railroad men, tho merchants and the work
men for this, because if they did not add
the taxes to their freights and prices, they
would realize no dividends or profits, and
would have to do business at a loss, or go
into the receiver’s hands. I might extend
these statements to a much greater extent
but that is unnecessary, for what we have
said applies to all tiniest.
Thus you will perceive, respected agri
culturists, that, you, as Mr. Toombs used
to say, tn tho last analysis, have to bear
the chid burden of the taxation. There
are wealthy Ranters who can bear it. They
can afford to contribute ono hundred and
tirty dollars, or 3 or 4 times that sura, to
the manufacturers and never feel it, but a
great majority of you cannot bear the rob
bery of from fifty to seventy-five dollars
to add to their wealth. Wo are not work
ing alone for money; the proprietors of
this pape.r can tell you that. Born and
raised in the lap or wealth wo are now
poor, as well as you are still the friend of
honesty and justice. We thank God for
Sparing us. till now, to contend for tho
right, with our faculties unimpaired—to
resist the greatest wrong to which any peo
ple were ever subjected. Our sincerity you
cannot doubt. We are seeking no office at
your hands. We want nothing within tho
gift of the people and desire nothing but
their commendation for the efforts wo
make to serve them. Now, weask you. Is it
not a duty that you owe to yourselves, to
look into these matters and docide for
yourselves whether these statements we
make to you are true or false? Havo you
any favorites upon whom you rely, whose
opinions you accept without investigation?
Are you ready to put implicit faith in what
they tell you without investigation and
without proof? We havo presented you
tacts, accompanied iriih the proofs. Are you
Democrats, and have you followed the
democratic banner in good faith? We have
told you nothing but what your national
democratic conventions have told you. We
stand still by tho Democratic creed. The
Democratic party in Georgia, consists now
of old whigs and old democrats. All of
both parties were opposed to a protective
tariff. Some of you who were whigs. are
old enough to remember the creed of ttie
old whigs—of Troup and Crawford, of Ber
rien, and, of course, of Toombs, and many
others or later periods. Some of you are
old enough to remember the creed of Mc
Donald, Lumpkin, Towns and others of
ttie democratic leaders. All, In Georgia,
and every other Southern State, opposed
a pro'ectlve tariff as unconstitutional and
unjust, and, that too, when the tariff was
not halt as odious as It Is now, nud yet
some of the Democratic protective tariff-
ites—mere pretenders—made up more in
arrogance than erudition—are now calling
the Democratic writers and speakers of
the present time political demagogues be
cause they stand by the old and time-hon
ored creed of opposition to a protective
tariff which robs ttie people now, twice as
bad as it did in those days referred to.
Whence ha9 tills political poison come?
Who manufactured and injected it into the
minds of the new luminaries? Where
will it lead them when tho battle comes?
Will they constitute a reliable phalanx
when tiie struggle takes place? The Re
publicans 6av: “ rtielr watchword will be
a tariff for protection.” How would the
Democratic Protective Tarlffites feel at the
sound of the Republican bugle-horn ac
companied with the shout all along their
compact lines; “A Protective tariff for
ever!'’ Wruit else could they feel tint a
thrill of joy, when, of all earthly political
blessings they deem the protective tariff
to be the greatest and the best! We will
conclude our .address by a very homely
but pretty Tair illustration of the support
given to the farmers by their democratic
Protective tariff friends. They praise you
and cry, “hurrah farmers! hurrah farm
ers! you have doubled your crops! you
have covered yourselves with glory, we
congratulate you upon your splendid suc
cess!” Ac.

place between two men whose names we

After dealing heavy for a while Ell got
Jake down, beat him in tho face, gouged
him and filled his eyes with sand aud dirt,
finally Eli was taken off and a crowd got
around Jake and told him they were Ids
friends and hoped he was not badly hurt.
"Y.-s,” said Jake tn a broken reproachful
tone, “friends! fl n poor friends! to
stand by crying hurrah Jake! hurrah
Jake! when the d—d rascal was beating,
gouging and choking m«to death! Friends!
d—d poor friends!” These protective tar
iff democrats have praised the farmers and
cried.out all the time: “Hurrah farmers!
Hurrah farmers!” while the government,
by law. was robbing them all the time, and
these friends were backing the government
in the robbery. We will let Jake describe
it, “il—n poor friends!”

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY*.
The harmony or the democratic party is
more to be desired than the success of any
aspirant to the office of governor. Wo
have not urged our preference, as to men,
for the reason that we believe the great
democratic party of Georgia, in council,
would dp.right, and nominate tha most
suitablo man for chief magistrate to All
the unexpired term of the lamented Ste
phens. Hence we a re In a condition to sup
port cheerfully the nominee of the party.
The following resolution, adopted by a
convention of the democracy of Richmond
counLy,voices our sentiments to a syllable:
Resolved, Now that in taking the neces
sary preliruary steps to fill the vacancy* in
the office of Governor, the Democracy* of
Richmond county will send Us delegates
to the approaching State Convention un-
trnmmeled by instructions as to their
votes for any particular candidate, but ad
vise that, in the judgment of this county,
party harmony is of fai greater impor
tance than the promotion of the personal
ambition of any aspirant, and our dele
gates are therefore urged to use their best
exertions to secure such a nomination as
will heal all party discussion and strife,
and thereby promote tho success of Demo
cratic principles, and advance the honor,
welfare and glory of Georgia.

was Gus Wingfield from Madison, Ga.
That was aii I knew about it then. But
a few >*ears afterward, pass ; ng through
Madison, wo were entortajned one evening
at the" homo of that prince of gentle
men, Dr. Wingfield. Then it was we
heard him say to father, “I havo sent my
son Augustus to Mr. Carlisle P. Boman,
at Mt. Zfon, for Mr. Beman is the only
man who could tame wild boys.” But
Augustus Wingfield was net a very wild
boy. When ho died, he was ono of the
brightest young men in Georgia, and had
already taken position with older lawyers
at the bar. So much for an introductory
to our subject to-day.
Carlisle P. Beman taught a high School
at Mt. Zion, Hancock Co., Ga., for many
years before the writer knew him person
ally, and hundreds of his “boj’S,” theD,
old men now, live to-day to honor hi9
memory and venerate his “sacrod shade.”
In our twelfth year our father gave us
a note one day, without a word, and moth
er put in our hand a tin bucket chock Tull
of good things, and a clean white handker
chief in our vest pocket, and said—“Son,
take that note to Mr. Beman, at Midway—
be a gootl boy, and come home soon.’
Then with a kiss we parted.
Mr. Beman had just come over from Mt.
Zion, and located at Midway. At that
time Midway was the wealthiest commu
nity in the State, and the most cultivated
and refine 1. When we first trod its sa
cred soil there lived there, among the
leading citizens, Sami. Rockwell, Thom
as Ragland, Richard J. Nichols, Richard
K. Hines, Baradell P. Stubbs, Thos. H.
Ilall, Sami. K. Taimage. A few years
subsequent, tho following additions were
made to the village:—John S. Thomas, Al
fred M. Nisbet, R. H. Ramsay, Daniel and
Harper Tucker, Joseph Lane, Rev. John
W. Baker, Thos. F. Green, II. V. Johnson,
Moses Fort—and of all these grand old
gentlemen not one lives to-day to read our
humble story.
But, to tho subject. Mr. Beman had
gained the reputation of being the recti
fier of “bad boy9.”When no other teacher
could manage a boy, and his parents des
paired of his melioration, lie was packed
up and sent to Mr. Beman. The conse
quence was, his school was the focus of
bad-boy-lsm in Georgia, in 1838, whon wo
tremblingly delivered our father’s note
into the hands of the dread “man of the
birch.” He took the note and read it. He
was then hearing a class, but paused long
enough to say, in the hearing of the whole
school, “you are a nice little man; but you
don’t look like you could stand more than
two good switches. I make it a rule when
a new boy is sent to me, to try and see
how much whipping he can stand—Tom,
hand me down two of the best hickories
on the shell.” Shaking in every muscle
and joint, we began to cry; then the good
old man said, “Buddy, put your bucket on
my desk, over there, and go out and play
awhile, I won't want >ou till dinner time.”
When school was “let out,” at dinner,
Mr. Bern a l took us over to Ills house,
hard by, and we made friends. He had
road father’s note and mother’s tender
postscript, and ho was great and strong
and good enough to be a friend to a poor
little frightened hoy. When I returned
to school that afternoon all my horrid
mind-pictures of this Gorgon of School
Teachers had vanished Into thin air. Mr.
Beman was as brave a man, in personal
courage, as ever lived. He didn’t know
what fear was. But to bring out the sa
lient points of Ids grand mako-up, I will
Introduce a few incidents that took place
under my own eyes, and which are indel
ibly engraven on the mind’s tablet of
hundreds of men in Georgia alive to-day.
He was passionately fond of fine horses,
and his groom, Tony, was matchless in
his business. Tho boys know or this weak
point, and while they could not whip him
in a tair open fight in the day time, they sur
reptitiously sought to strike him in his
vitals through the delicate armor of sleep.
He had a spleddld young saddle horse —
ono he doted on. One Sunday morning
Tony came into his master's room, very
early, and roused theold man, and told him
there was not along hair left on “Beau
ty’s” tail. The old man got up, dressed
quickly, went out and saw how it was
himself. He then took a tour of the board
ing houses in the village. At Mrs. Bird's
he found a negro boy preparing to black
the shoes of the boarders. He surveyed
the shoes closely, and, without giving
away any part of his mission to the ne
gro, he found out the ownership of every
pair. He found two pair heavily crusted
with stable manure. That, was enough.
On Monday morning at recess, he told
tiie two young men who owned those fa
tal shoes to “stay in.” They had not tho
least idea that they were suspected about
the horse-shaving expedition. He con
fronted them with their crime, told them
that he knew it all, and then picked out
six stout hickory switches which he wore
to a frazzle on their corporosities. They
took the punishment patiently, even
gracefully, but it was a long time before
they found out how Mr. Beman had cap
tured their secret.
On anottier occasion he displayed his
courage more conspicuously. A number
of his “boys" boarded at Seottsboro, a vil
lage two miles distant from Midway.
Onq Saturday night, a few of them took a
gentleman’s wagon, and pulled it down
hill a mile, (mark you, down hill) and
pitched it into Carter’s mill-pond. By
*the next Monday morning, Mr. Beman
knew all about it, and tho culprits knew
that Mr. B. had spotted them; so, expect
ing trouble, they each armed with a one-
barrel pistol or long dirk knife. Monday
at recess they were arraigned—five of the
oldest and iUggest boys in school. Mr. B.
gave them a short talk, and then disarm
ed each of them, laying their artillery and
cutting tools on top of the stove. He said
to Tom Gordon, the first one hauled up,
“Tom, when a fellow pulls one of these
little bulldogs on me, I just stick my fin
ger in the barrel and make it shoot back
wards.” He then gave every one of them
a severe thrashing, as we plainly saw as
the doors were all open. Jim Blackman,
one of the party, ran to the window, jump
ed out, and cut for the swamp, but was
caught and punished as the rest had
been.
The hardest tight he ever had was with
Charley aud Wiley Napier. They cut him
badly with knives, but he whipped the
fight. He was 60 outraged that he car
ried the case into court. But his tender
nature relented, after awhile, and he re
lieved them of the terrors of a prosecu
tion. Stern, cold, outwardly, he was
gentle as a woman. He told the writer
that ho had never met with but oue
pupil of whom he was afraid. He Is
no.v a practicing physician. Said Mr.
Beman to tho writer, “John is just fool
enough to kill me.”
Wo will close this narrative witli an
incident, in which the writer was the chief
personage. In tho 6chool-room there was
a long, wide desk-extending nearly the
entire length of ttmjkxmi. Benches were
ranged on cacti side. The writer had a
seat on the west side of the table, with
his back to Mr. Beman, as ho paced to
and fro hearing a class recite. Wo boys
had a habit of cut Ling holes in the table,
,‘ catching flies, putting them in tiie holes,
and covering with a piece of glass. One
day while Mr. Beman was walking up an<$
the laugh was over, Mr. Beman Jcauglit
our ear gently, and whispered Into it
(rather loudly) Joe, did you catch him?”
_jBut we got even with the old man. Wo
fixed a bent pin in his chair one Friday
evening, and rnado him get up out of It
quicker than djmamite could have lifted
him. Over thirty years afterwards, we
me£ him in the Augusta depot at this
place, and reminded, him of the Incident.
He laughingly said, "he believed he wore
the scar yet."
After Mr. Beman retired, Mr. R. H.
Ramsay, In connection with Oglethorpe
University, became rector of the Academy.
He came from Richmond county to Mid
way In 1839, and taught the school until
the suspension of the College. Mr. Ram
say became famous as a teacher. Hun
dreds of his scholars occupy to-day
prominent positions in thefi- respective
places of abode. Ho was much respected
and beloved by his pupils and his neigh
bors. He served his day and generation
well, and full of years fell with his armor
on, and with a bright hope for aland of
pure delight where no crude surfeit reigns.

Beautiful Store—Beautiful Goods!
PRETTY AS A PICTURE.
The writer went into A. Joseph’s famous
Dry Goods Emporium on the “old corner”
of Wayne and Haneock streets, one day
last week, to make a bill, in a masculine
way, and while the polite young man was
filling the order, we took an observa
tion.
Did it ever occur to you, reader, how dif
ferent! y a man and a woman enter a largo
Dry-Goods establishment? A man walks in,
looks up, around and down, and seems ut
terly bewildered by the beauty and
grandeur—ho hardly knows what he came
for—whether ’twas a pair of shoo strings
or a Brussels carpet. He stammers, begs
time to get his breath before telling his
wants. But a woman! Great Scott! be
fore she gets in fifty yards of the store, sees
It all. She is cool, calm, deliberate, and
when she enters tiie palace of her expecta
tions she goes straight to tho objective
point. If she sees over so many pretty
things as she passes down tiie store, she
may touch with tho tips of her dainty fin
gers, with an unconcerned air, as much
as to say—“I wouldn’t givo a fig for ’em
all.” Business Is her business, and the size
of her purse the limit of her longings. And
men suould ramember, that there is some
thing beyond a mere good housewife, how
ever good she may be In that capacity.
There is a certain attention to dress, and
whatsoever things are rare and beautiful,
that specially appertains to woman in her
peculiar sphere; and we can say truthful
ly, that a sufficient apology for their study*
of dress and fondness for bewitching toil
ets is due mainly to the encouragement
they receive from men.
These thoughts struck our mental ma
chinery through our spectacular optics as
we surveyed tills handsome store and its
surroundings. We determined to be cool
as a woman and see all that was to be seen.
So we struck out on that line. We first en

meeting of thh trustees of the
UNIVERSITY.
IFrom the Atlanta Constitution.)
At ten o'clock the board met in the read
ing room of ttie Kimball bouse pursuant
to a call. There were present: Mr. Gres
ham, president; Bishop Beckwith, Gen
eral Toombs, senators Brown and Col
quitt, Mr. Humber, Mr. Livingston, Mr.
Barrow,.C. Hamilton, Mr. W. W. Thomas,
i Major Lamar Cobb, Hon. N. J. Hammond,
Mr. H. W. Grady and Dr. H. V. M. Miller.
As soon as the meeting was called to or
der Senator Brown presented the following
communication:
Atlanta. ;March 3lst, 1883.—To the
Trustees of the University of Georgia;
Gentlemen—Qn the 15th July last, I pro
posed la a written communication ad
dressed to you, to make a donation to
the university of fifty thousand dollars
for the purpose, and upon the terms and
conditions therein mentioned. One of the
requirements of the proposition was, that
the legislature of Georgia, at the next
session, should provide for receiving
said sum into the treasury of the state,
and for the Issuance of fifty thousand
of the bonds of tho State to the uni
versity in place or said amount, having
tirty years to run with seven per <*nt
interest, payable semi-aniinally. The
legislature met at the usual time In No
vember, and adjourned without having
made provision for tho receipt of the mon
ey, aud tho issue of said bonds to the
university. The proposition was accepted
by your honorable body, when made by
me, but as the legislature did not make
provision for issuing the bonds, I suppose
neither party is now bound by the propo
sition or acceptance.
It is still my desire to appropriate that
sum of money, for the education of poor
young men. In the University of Georgia,
as spwified in said proposition. And
with u view of avoiding all misunderstand
ing on the subject, and of placing this
amount in the hands of the trustees of
tho university, for the purpose above
referred to, I have purchased fifty thou
sand dollars of the valid bonds of the state
of Georgia, which are not now due, but
will mature on the first day of April, 1883,
and I propose now to deliver said fifty
thousand dollars In the above bonds of
the state of Georgia to the trustees of
the university of Georgia as the prop
erty of said university, for the same
uses and upon precisely the saute terms,
except as herein modified, as are set forth
In my written communication to tbi9
board, dated 15th of July last, the said
bonds on delivery to this board to become
the property of ttie univorsity for tho uses
and upon tiie terms above mentioned,
upon the condition subsequent that tho
trustees of the university shall within a
reasonable time, say within two months
from tiie maturity of the bonds, through
their duly authorized agent or officer,
present at the treasury of the state, for
redemption, the s^ld bondh as the proper
ty of the university, and shall receive
from the Governor of the state, in lieu of
said matured bouds so presented for pay
ment. an obligation or obligations in writ
ing, in the nature of a bond, in amount
equal to tho principal of the bonds, so
presented as provided in an act to make
permanent tho income of the University
of Georgia and Tor other purposes, approv
ed September 20th, 1881.
This will place ttro bonds, which I now
propose to donate to the uuiversitv
through this board, upon tho same foot
ing precisely as all other bonds or the
state belonging to the university are
placed by the act of 1881. I have the
bonds now present, ready for delivery. If
this proposition Is accepted.
Joseph E. Brown.
The reception or this letter was attend
ed with some debaie, after which Mr. N. J.
Hammond moved that tho trustees accept
the donation. This motion was passed by
a vote of thirteen to one. Upon motion of
Dr. Miller a com m itteo, consl9tingof Mr.
Gresham, Mr. Thomas, Major Cobb, Dr.
Hamilton, and Dr. Miller, was appointed
to i)resent the bonds to the governor pur
suant to the law and secure for the uni
versity a new bond and deposit it with
the treasurer. After the transaction of
some unimportant business tho board ad
journed.
applications for the fund.
Major Lamar Cobb, the socrotary of the
board, said:
"Applications have already been re
ceived from between fifty nnd sixty hoys
for the benefits arising from this fund,
it having been presumed that it would
go into operation last July. Five or six
hoys, among the brightest in the univer
sity, were forced to quit the college lie-
cause this fund was not available. One
young man is now kept at the university
by private funds from Governor Brown,
who believed that the donation would be
accepted and the interest on it given.
There will not be enough money from the
interest to support those who have ap
plied for the help and who need it.”
A TALK WITH MB. HUMBEE.
Mr. R. C. Humber, who is a member or
the houso and also a member of the board
of trustees said:
“I don’t think there will be the slightest
trouble in the matter before tho house if
it should come before tho bouse at all.
I know that many membors at the last
session voted against the bill because
they thought Governor Brown should
have done then precisely what he has
done now; namely, buy bonds and present
them instead of money. In other words,
they thought he ought to get under the
law to which he has now turned and simp
ly have the governor substitute new bonds
for old ones rather than ask the legisla
ture to issue new bonds and create new
liabilities. As it is now, tie prosents fifty
thousand dollars of eight per cent bonds,
for which the law says the governor
shall issue fifty thousand dollars of sev
en per cent bonds. This is what a great
many members thought he should have
done before, and as he did not do it
they voted against the measure to issue
new bonds.
WHAT MR. HAMMOND SAYS.
In a conversation yesterday Hon. N. J.
Hammond said:
“I went before the legislature for the
trustees when the body was asked to pass
the act of 1881. Mr. Miller of Houston,
thought that it might be unconstitutional
for the house to say that tho state should
issue a new bond for whatever inonev the
university might have for investment.
But ho said after consultation with the
finance cominitaeu that if we were willing
for the house to say simply that when
ever the university presented a valid bond
that had matured, tho state should issue
a new 7 per cent bond to take Its place,
ho would reeeommend it and the house
would doubtless pass it. Tne board of
trustees, or such of them as discussed
the matter, agreed that this was all the
university wanted, and the act was there
fore passed, pres- rib ng that whenever
the university had bonds of the state ma
turing, they should bo taken up on de
mand of the proper authorities and
a 7 per cent bonds substituted.”
THE PURCHASE OF THE BONDS.
Governor Brown did not buy tiie bonds
last July, because he thought the legisla
ture would order new bonds issued. It
would have cost then a nice premium to
have purchased $50,000 of bonds. Even
now when the Nutting bonds that he
bought fall due to-day he had to pay a
premium of two per cent on a great many
or them. The first of April Is the day
when all the taxes are returned, State
bonds are exempted from taxation and
a man who had ten thousand dollars of
Nutting bonds due on the 1st of April
could save a tax on that amount by hold
ing them until the second of April. In
order to get the amount necessary on
yesterday Governor Brown had to pay
two per cent premium to cover tho taxes
the holders would incur by giving their
non taxable bouds for cash that is taxa
ble.
