The distinguished and abie Speaker
of the House, Mr. Carlisle has said to
the Associated Press reporter that
the committee list will not be made
public until it is officially announced
in the House which will be on the day
of the reassembling of Congress. Mr.
Carlisle during the recess of Congress
instead of giving himself up to tbe
holliday recreation will remain in
Washington and devote his time dur
ing the recess of congress to the pre
paration of the committee list.
Mr. Carlise is a whole-soul official
and permits nothing to swerve him
from the strictest performance of
duty. _
The Augusta Chronicle says of Mr.
Toombs;
“It must not be forgotten that he
formulated the most scholarly and
statesmanlike brief of the South's po
sition ever filed in the tribunal of this
world. Toombs’ lecture in Tremont
Temple, Boston, in January, 1856 was
the most masterly review of slavery,
its constitutional status, and its influ
ence on the African race and on socie
ty, ever given by publicist or politi
cian. It was convincing in its consti
tutional argument, and even now,
after twenty-five years of emancipa
tion, the negro with all the favor of a
great Government and all the bless
ings of a goodly land, has not success
fully controverted the solution which
Toombs gave to the race question at
that time. Said Gen. Toombs then :
“I have always maintained, and
still hold, that so long as the African
and Caucasian races co-exist in the
same society, the subordination of
the African is the necessary, proper,
and normal condition, and that such
subordination is the condition best
calculated to promote the highest in
terest and greatest happiness of both
races, and consequently of society at
large.*'
Mr. Stephens thought so much of
that effort of Toombs that he embod
ied it in his great work of “The War
Between the States."

Mr. Blair in the Senate and Mr.
Willis, in the House, are each push
ing bills and are sanguine of (success,
to have universal free education In all
the States. It is stated these is a
universal demand for this educational
policy throughout the country. Con
stitutional or not constitutional if the
people everywhere demand it, it will
be adopted. It would certainly soon
sweep out a vast amount of illiteracy.
Senator Blair says, “The money Con
gress thus expended would be return
ed in increased value of each man’s
labor, and tbe investment would be a
good one. The increased industrial
value of people in tbe south would be
equal to $2,417,175,000 a year, if all
the illiterate people sbould be educa
ted according to the plan proposed."
This scheme for education beats any
ever offered before in any age or coun
try since tbe creation of the world.

GENERAL TOOMBS.
BY CARLTON MCCARTHY.
This book is gotten up in good
sf^’le anil handsomely illustrated by
the -iJtcGartby Publishing Company,
of Richmond, Virginia. It gives
faithful pictures of soldier life and
truthful descriptions of the prowess
and characteristics of the Confederate
braves.
It has been well said that a nation
that does not honor the valor of its
heroes will soon cease to have any
heroes to honor. The South has
never done justice to the matchless
patience, courage, and fortitude of
the soldiers in the ranks. These men
fought on and suffered on without
expectation of promotion or reward.
Southern youth should read of the
great deeds of these noble and unsel
fish men. They can find no more in
teresting and trustworthy informa
tion than is contained within the
pages of Mr. McCarthy's book.
We give a selection from his book
to give some idea of the noble senti
ments and natural style of the author:
“It does seem that the produc
tion of one Lee and one Jackson is
worth much blood and treasure, and
the building of a noble character all
the toil and sacrifice of war. The
camp-fires of the Army of Northern
Virginia were not places of revelry
and debauchery. They often exhibit
ed scenes of love and humanity, and
the purest sentiments and gentlest
feelings of man were there admired
aud loved, while vice and dehanch,
in afiy from highest to lowest, were
condemned and punished more Se
verely than they are among those
who stay at home and shirk the dan
gers and toils of the soldier's life.
Indeed, the demoralizing effects of
the late war were far more visible “at
home," among the skulks and bomb-
proofs and suddenly diseased, than in
the army. And the demoralized men
of to-day are not those who served in
the army. The defaulters, the rene
gades, the hummers and cheats, are
the boys who enjoyed fat places and
salaries and easy comfort; while the
solid, respected, and reliable men of
the community ,are those who did
their duty as soldiers, and, having
learned to suffer in war, have prefer
red to labor and suffer and earn, rath
er than steal, in peace.
And, strange to say, it is not those
who suffered most and lost most,
fought and bled, saw friend after
friend fall, wept the dead and buried
their hopes,—who are now bitter and
dissatisfied, quarrelsome and fretful,
growling and complaining; no, they
are the peaceful, submissive, law-
abiding, order-loving of the country,
ready to join hands with all good men
in every good work, and prove them
selves as brave and good in peace as
they were stubborn and unconquera
ble in war." D. H. H.
An Excerpt from the Accounts of a
Traveller.
Recently we were looking over some
accounts of the Travels of Edmund
Daniel Clarke, LL. D., in various
countries of Europe, Asia and Africa.
In going from Stockholm, Sweden, on
his route to Russia, the vessel on
which he sailed went into port on the
island of Aland, and landed the pas
sengers upon it. Strictly speaking it
is not proper to speak of the island
; o a group of islands,
called the islands of Aland, sitnaicu m
the Baltic Sea, at the entrance of the
Gulf of Bothnia. One is much larger
than the other, and it was upon this
one that Dr. Clark was landed. The
ground was covered with snow and
sledges were in use. The reader will
notice there was great cheerfulness
among the people, and will be pleased,
in spite of his love of summer skies
and the absence of snow and ice in
onr delightful Georgia climate. Per
haps we may make some additional
extracts from this work which was
popular half a century ago. Such a
work never loses its interest by
length of time, any more than do the
great ancient works of thousands of
years ago. But we must let Dr.
Clarke speak:
“The first day of our sledge-travel
ling convinced us of the folly and in
convenience of being pent in close
carriages, when performing a winter
journey in such a climate. Never
was any mode of travelling more de
lightful than this of the open sledge. In
the carriage, we were always com
plaining of the rigours of the temper
ature, in the sledge although exposed
to the open air, we found no inconve
nience from the utmost severity of
the frost. The atmosphere was so
olear and dry, that being well clothed,
the effect of it was charming. An in
tensity of general cheerfulness seem
ed to keep pace with the intensity of
the season. Brilliant skies, horses
neighing and prancing, peasants
laughing, and singing.—“Fine snow!
brave ice! brave winter!” Merry
making in all the villages. Festival
days, with uncloulded suns; nights of
inconceivable splendor and ineffable
brightness; the glorious firmament
displaying one uninterrupted flood of
light, heightened by an Aurora Bore
alis, while boundless fields of snow re
flected every ray. Add to this, the
velocity with which the sledge-drawn
traveller is made to fly over sea and
over land; over lakes and over plains;
amidst islands and rocks; through
snowy groves and forests billowering
with‘the weight of glittering icicles;
here winding through thick woods,
there at large upon the solid main,
“Durum calcavimus aequor;’’—in
the midst of scenery so novel, but
withal so pleasing in the richness, the
variety, and the beauty of the effect.
The snow too, in itself, is not one of
the least of the wonders; for though
it be not seen to fall, it gradually ac
cumulates. It was now. eight inches
deep and we had not observed a single
instance of its descent. From the
extreme diminution of temperature
in the air, the condensed vapors vfere
frozen into particles so minute, that
without adhering together and form
ing flakes, they passed imperceptibly
through the clear serene atmosphere,
in the state of an invisible sleet, which
when agitated by wind, rose from tbe
ground in the form of a fine powder,
and seemed as dry as the dust of the
desert."
King Milan, of Servia, has admitted
that he made mistakes. They were
clearly seen in the early and subse
quent continuance of the war. He
had too much confidence in the valor
of his troops and divided them, to
suddenly effect great ends in several
places. Such reverses as he met with
would probably have been avoided if
he had maintained a concentration of
his troops. While they were beaten
they fought well.
Patrick Egan, President of the
Irish League of America, says he is
of the opinion that Home Rule in
Ireland will be accomplished by the
junction of Parnell’s^ forces with those
of Gladstone, when the critical time
comes.
The young people closed up the
Christmas celebrations with a pretty
german in the Augusta Hotel. All
tbe buds were out and it was a fairy
scene and a most appropriate and
happy ending of an ideal day.
Straw hats and linen dusters will
not be so very popular as heretofore;
Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup, however, will
be as popular as ever.
We copy a few extracts from the
i Washington.Wilkescounty, correspon-
] dent of the Courier Journal in re-
! ference to General Toombs' life and the
funeral ceremonies.
[Special to the Courier-Journal.]
Washington, Ga., Dec. 17.—
Toombs dead looked not less eloquent
than Toombs living. As one looked
upon the lips sealed in eternal silence
and thought of the stormy scenes
through which he had passed, what, a
lesson it taught of human will and of
the omnipotent hand of God. The
body was placed upon a cot lying east
and west. As one entered the room
the first object seen was the body of
the great Georgian whose eloquence
hail electrified Senates anil whose
power had thrilled millions. Mighty
Toombs more powerful even in death
than in life! The ruddy flow of health
was gone. The full face, the laughing
eye, the haughty manner, all were re
placed by the closed lids, the pinched
expression, and the pallor which be
spoke death.
“One who had known the Toombs
of thirty years ago," said an old ac
quaintance who hail just dropped in,
“would never recognize him. Here
before us we see the inanimate marf.
Its dissemblance from the original of
life shows how much of soul, how
mnch of spirit and how mnch of heart
there was in the cold clay which now
lies before us."
The writer closes a striking allusion
to the great Georgia Tri umriate
Stephens, Hill and Toombs as fol
lows: 0
Meanwhile the most kingly of the
three, perfect in his physical manhood,
with a brain unsurpassed in his cen
tury, with a vitality such a.s but few
men possess, saw both descend to the
grave, and at la. i weary of life laid
down the staff and has himself joined
the glorious band.
LYING AT REST.
The body lay in the west room of
the mansion. It was surrounded by
numerous floral tributes, such as
geraniums and ivy. At the head was
placed the picture of the General's
daughter bailie, the wife of the late
Gen. Duboise, a queenly looking
woman, who seemed to smile upon
the father’s face. At the side was the
statue of Stephens; at the foot were
two portraits, life size, one painted by
Mrs. Henry Colley when a child, and
the other painted by Healey. On
the other side was placed a beautiful
pillow of flowers, the body being
white immortelles, with geranium and
roses, and the letters “R. T." in pur
ple immortelles—all beautiful. Scat
tered around the rooms were numer
ous portraits of friends and relations
and little mementoes, intended to
show the affection of the domestic
circle. In the adjoining room were
gathered the olil-time friends of the
dead man, who hail passed with him
through his early campaigns and who
through good and evil reports had
clung firmly to him and trusted him
to the end.’ Speaking to one of them,
he directed your correspondent’s eye
to Healey’s magnificent picture of
GEN. AND MRS. TOOMBS.
The splendid hospitality, said he, of
the two people can not be fully pic
tured. Mrs Toombs was a lady of
lively disposition; well fitted to be the
wife of such a man. He loved her
with an affection bordering on adora
tion, and the household over which
the two presided was indeed a para
dise of hospitality. Mrs. Toombs had
a merry, ringing laugh, which impress
ed all with her good humor and vivac
ity. It was this which sustained the
General after the reverses of the war,
and it was upon her death, four years
Tost S.’ftQ.y 1 !? 3 ? elt thatjie had
About this time an old colored niifh
joined the group named.
“UNCLE BILLY."
“We all loved Massa Bob,” said
Uncle Billy. “I was ten years old
when he was born. I saw him when
he was first sent out witli long dresses.
I knowed him a boy. 1 saw him a
young man, and never was he a other
than a man to love. I followed him
from Alabama to Virginia. He always
treated us like children. When the
war came on there was three hundred
of us, and when the war ended there
was not one but who wanted to stay.”
The old negro wiped his eyes, which
were fast filling with tears, and said:
“Old Billy had no friend like Massa
Bob and he'll have to go, for his hair
Is growing white and his step is getting
moutty feeble.
INCIDENTS OF HIS LAST ILLNESS.
Gen. Toombs’ coachman, Dan, who
bad faithfully attended him during
his sickness, was also enthusiastic in
his master's praise. “All de time
while he was sick," said he, “he wojild
quote de scriptures and talk about
dear old mistress. One night he woke
up suddenly and said, “My darling, I
will soon join you on de other side of
the river." I tried to quiet him, but
he said, “Julia is on the other side
of the river anil I must go to her.”
The night before he died he said:
‘Dan, are you ready?’ I answered,
‘Ready for what?’ Then he said: ‘I
am going. The end has come. You
had better be ready, too, for we must
all meet on the other shore.’ ”
Your correspondent next saw Dr.
G. W. Mulligan, who had been the
General’s life-long physician. Said he:
“I knew Toombs from my boyhood.
I grew up under his influence, and
can say that a more considerate man
toward his friends, a kinder man to
ward servants,a more devoted h usband
or a fonder father never lived. When
he returned from his last visit to At
lanta he said, ‘Doctor, you can not
minister to a mind diseased. I feel
that the end has come. I am ready
to go.” I tried to talk him out of it,
but it was no use. His intellect be
came rapidly clouded, and for six
weeks he had been unable to recog
nize his closest friends. The day be
fore he died, his grand daughter, Lou
ise Colley, about 3 years old, clamber
ed upon the bed to him. To her he
gave his best smile of recognition,
patting her on the Lead and calling
her by name.”
He never stopped to question the
needy, but relieved them at once.
THE ARRIVAL OF THE PALL BEARERS
out short the conversation, and re
minded the hundreds gathered around
the house of the occassion which had
called them together. The remains
were placed in a beautiful metallic
coffin, when the family were called in
to take a last look at the face which
was about to be sealed forever from
sight. The last man to look upon the
face was William F. Alexander, who
had been the husband of the General’s
eldest daughter. Mr. Alexander
stooped low and looked critically into
the face, arose with a sigh, and step
ped back. Then the lid was slowly
screwed on, and the face of Gen.
Toombs was but a memory. “The
greatest lover of liberty this'country
has ever produced,” sa’id Adjt. Gen.
Stephens; “A man whose history
Georgians must ever treasure,” said
Got. McDaniel, and “A man who
knew no fear,” said Hon. J. T. Hen
derson.
THE SAD CORTEGE.
The Toombs mansion is set about
300 yards back from the street, which
Is reached by a brick walk through a
shrubbery of mignonette and arbor
vital. The pall-bearers at once took
places, and lifting the coffin proceed
ed slowly down the xvalk to the street,
where they deposited it upon the
hearse. Uncle Billy and Dan, _ the
General’s two old servants, claimed
and were accorded the place of honor
to lead the horses by the bits. At tue
given signal, at 11:30 a. M., the pro
cession moved. First was the hearse,
the horses led by Uncle Billy and Dan;
the pall bearers, Messrs. L. A. Alex
ander, C. E. Irvin, H. P. Quinn, S. M.
Smith, E. G. Binns and J. A. Steph
ens. These were followed by Gov. Mc
Daniel, State officials, and the citizens
at large. Slowly the procession wind
ed its way through the streets, which
w-ere heavily draped with mourning,
until the little Methodist church was
reached. Probably 4,000 people were
in line. •
W e |>ass over the floral decorations
and the draperies of the church.
The opening of the hymn by organ
and the choir, “I know that my Re
deemer liveth,” told that the funeral
cortege had arrived. Its entrance
was heralded by the chanting of the
Episcopal burial service
with the words, ‘‘The Lord gave and
the Lord taketh awav, blessed be the
name of the Lord.” Rev. W. H. La-
praile, accompanied by Bishop John
W. Beckwith in full robes, came first-
Rev. J. D. Brown (Presbyterian) ami
Rev. 8. G. Hillyer (Baptist) came
next. Then came the coffin, borne by
the pall-bearers. Advancing to the
pulpit, Rev. Mr. Laprade, read the
Nineteenth Psalm.
This was read with effect, and was
followed by a selection from the fif
teenth chapter of First Corinthians.
The choir then sang, “I would Not
Live Always.” While the audience
was singing this beautiful hymn, the
voice of Bishop Beckwith was heard
to ring out clear above the rest of the
singers, until at last it seemed as if he
was carrying the hymn alone.
Gen. Toombs lived without public
profession of faith until within three
years ago. He knew the right, while
lie did the wrong pursue. He lived
most of his life iu contradiction to the
convictions of his heart in not profes
sing Christ. His love for his wife,
which was mingled with veneration,,
his respect for her church relations,
showed what he really felt. During
all their married life she prayed for
his conversion, aud died with the
hope that it would come. Her destli,
which was sad to us all, w as more so
to him, and intensified his religious
convictions. On her death he express
ed belief in God and in the religion of
the evangelical church. His baptism
was postponed owing to circumstan
ces. He had a long talk with Bishop
Pierce, in which he desired to become
a member of the church, stating his
belief in full. He did not claim to be
a regenerated man, but an earnest
believer iu Christ. He was baptized
in this village, not as one who claimed
the witness of the spirit, but as one
who believed. He was received as a
seeker after Christ. His great mis
take was that he had not taken this
step years before, and so he regarded
it. fie was frank and open and gave
full expression to his conviction on so
important a matter. He had no
right to hide his conviction. This he
confessed to me.
AT THE GRAVE
the services were those of tho Episco
pal Church, conducted by Bishop
Beckwith. The day was calm and
bright, in strange contrast with the
stormy life which was being commit
ted to mother earth. The remains of
Mrs. Toombs had been interred in the
adjoining grave earlier iu the day.
As the crowd melted away, some lit
tle children from the Catholic Orphan
age placed a wreath of bright flowers
upon the grave of each, one of the
little ones saying: “They never for
got us.”

Among the proceedings in the
House on the 21st, was the introduc
tion of a bill to pension the survivors
of the Mexican war. Will this never
be passed? A very large number of
bills were introduced.
Though only 14 of the 38 States
were reached under the call, 1,004
bills were introduced and referred,
most of them of a private nature.
Among the biils were some for the
erection of buildings at the following
places: Augusta, Ga., Columbus, Ga.,

and Jacksonville, Fla.
In the Senate, there was some dis
cussion on the silver question. Sena
tor Beck opposed the views of the ad
ministration.
Mr. Randall, it is stated, will present
a bill for the Preside 1 iial succession
to the effect that when vacancies oc
cur in the Presidential and Vice Pres

Senator Evarts pronounces Mr.
Beck’s argument as irrefutable, and

on the subject. Silver is safe so far

Mr. Beck opposes the suspension of

Christmas Festivities in Augusta.
We remember no time when the
Cl ristinas festivities in Augusta were
so universally and so joyously kept,
as in the recent holidays, both outside
thg^churches. The young peo-
had a delightful time. Besiifes
delightful singing in the churches
there were the beautiful and brilliant
ly lighted Christmas trees full of good
things for the children, which made
them happy, such as delicious candy
and other attractive presents. These
pleasing ceremonies we noticed took
place at the Atonement and St.
Paul’s churches, the First Presbyte
rian, St. James and Jones churches,
and at midnight Mass at St. Patrick's
and at other churches and places snch
as Lodges, all conducted with grace
ful and pleasing elegance. At the
widows’ Home there was a sumptuous
dinner furnished by kind hearted la
dies and gentlemen, which added
greatly to the pleasure and happiness
of the inmates. The many entertain
ments, calls, and receptions through
out the city added largely to the
pleasures of the season. We merely
refer to these many sources of pleas
ure and enjoyment in general terms,
lacking space for the full descriptions
of any of the joyous occasions to
which we refer in brief and general
terms.
An End to Bone Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, ot Harrisburg,
111., says: “Having received so much
benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it
my duty to let suffering humanity
know it. Have had a running sore on
iny leg for eight years; my doctors told
me I would have to have the bone
scraped or leg amputated. I used,
instead, three bottles of Electric Bit
ters and seven boxes Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve, and my leg is now sound and
well.”
Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cts.
a bottle, and Bucklen’s Arnica Salve
at 2oc, per box by E. A. Bayne.
A FANATIC.
A short time before the death of
General Robert Toombs a gentleman,
who is a resident of the connty in
which the Toombs residence is situa
ted, and who was very well acquain
ted with him, called to pay his respects
and to inquire after the condition of
his health. During the conversation
which ensued, Gen. Toombs asked
for the news of the county. He was
informed at some length respecting
the success that was attending the
prohibitionists. With considerable
abruptness Gen Toombs asked the
gentleman if he knew what a fanatic
was. The gentleman answered that
he would be glad to have Gen. Toombs
definition of a fanatic. Well, said the
General, “a fanatic is a person of
strong convictions and weak points.

Oct. 20th, 1885.)
On the return of the brethren to
the Lodge room after paying the last
tribute of respect to their deceased
Brother, George W. Garratt, the un
dersigned were appointed a commit
tee to draw up resolutions expressive
of the grief of the brethren at their
loss.
Brother Garratt was possessed of
noble traits of character. He was
modest, remarkably conscientious in
all Ills dealings and was possessed of so
many good traits that he seemed to
be entirely free from bad ones. Like
any other man of his character he
had many friends.
His health for some time before his
death, was such as to give him a pre
sentiment that he would not live the
time allotted to man. When he died
he was about 35 years old.
it is therefore Resolved, That in the
loss of Brother Garratt, Benevolent
Lodge has sustained a severe IcTss, and
that the sympathies of the brethren
be extended to his family in their be
reavement.
ReLo'ved, That these resolutions bo
entered on the minutes of the lodge
and that a copy of them be transmitted
to Brother Garratt's family.

Faintly do the words, tribute of re

row, when as a hand of brothers, we
meet to give utterance to our grief, to
feel that never more will we we’come
him, a brother whose manly deport
ment, whose genial smile, .anil whose
unselfish endeavors to promote the in
terest of the ci.y of his adoption, ever
made him entitled to a place in our
hearts and homes. We regard it as a
high privilege to express our appreci
ation of his worth, and the loss sus
tained by our entire community in
his death. In humble submission we
bow to the will of the “Great I Am,”
at whose voice our loved brother
George E. Watson, was summoned
from time into eternity. Truly and
mournfully prophetic, often are the
when speaking bf death: 3 YE
have their time to fall, and flowers to
wither at the north wind’s breath,
and stars to set, b”t thou has all sea
sons for thine ow , oh Death.” In
the time of his usefulness, in the sea
son, when the hopes of life were beck
oning him on, death claimed him.
Alas! our brother, is the mournful
echo of our hearts, as we bow at his
tomb, in which those hopes lie buried.
. We mourn him as a brother Mason
whose kind endeavors are lost to our
order.
We mourn with the stricken city
the loss of her adopted son.
We mourn with his family, in their
unspeakable anguish.
Resolved, That a copy of this tribute
be furnished to the family of our de
ceased brother, and that the city pa
