UNION & RECORDER.
Milledgevikle, February 10,188®.
the prohibition election.
The delay in bringing out this issue
of the Union & Recorder was caus
ed by waiting for the registration no
tices* which appear elsewhere in this
paper. Registrars have been appoint
ed by the Ordinary for the several
militia districts in this county, who
will open books in their respective dis
tricts to-day. (10th) for the registration
of qualified voters. These books will be
kept open thirty davs, and voters
must register in the district in which
they live. This registration is order
ed in view of the approaching election,
under the local option law, a petition
for such election being ready to file
with the Ordinary. We learn that
the present intention of the Ordinary
j« to order the election on the whiskey
ore c tion, to be held on the 22nd of
March.
The South.
We believe, everything considered,
that the southern portion of the north
American union, is the most favored
part of the habitable globe. In cli
mate. soil and resources, it is superior
to any other equal section of the earth.
What can man need that we do not
posses.-V We grow cotton, corn, and
ail the other serial grains. Texas can
beat the world for raising sfrock, and
the oilier Southern States can rear
itock of all kinds in abundance. Our
sugar lands are as good as those of
< ulm. both for sugar and inolasees.
\\ e have gold and silver mines, iron
and coal in abundance, ami all the
mo't delightful fruits, such as peaches,
apples, pears, grapes and melons and
all the smaller fruits. Our section has
awakened to the value of manufactu
ring. and the world is startled by the
progres.' our people have made in fur-
liisliing a large portion of the cloth
ing of the world, with advantages
which leave us without a rival if prop
erly used. All that we need is a fair
chance, such as would be afforded bv
free shipping and a moderate tariff.
A gradual change is taking place in
the sentiments of the great West, and
also in the East and North. The
truth i', those sections are seeing the
advantages which the South affords
in manufacturing and the cheap pro
duction of iron and steel, and the day
is not far distant when large quanti
ties oi northern capital wilibe invest
ed in those productions in the South.
-Northern instincts will add immensely
to southern capital, and the South
'■vnl become the great manfacturing
centre of the word in all these essen
tial industries. In addition to other
section- and countries, the whole
of Central and South America, will
become tributary to the growth and
wealth of the Southern States of our
great American Union. Full employ
ment will be given to Southern indus
try. including the wonderful develop
ment >>f its agricultural wealth.
GLADSTONE'S CABINET.J
, Win. E. Gladstone, the great Eng
lish Statesman, liu- been again restor
ed to power, and as the Premier and
First Lord of the Treasury, has mode
up a powerful and influential cabinet.
The following selection he has made
with consummate abilitv and pru
dence :
Sir Farrer Herschel, Lord High
Chancellor.
Earl Spencer, Lord President of the
Council.
JL C. il. Childers, Home Secretary.
Earl Roseberry, Secretary for For
eign Affairs.
Lari Granville, Secretary for the
Colonies.
Earl Kimberly, Secretary for India.
II. Campbell Bannerinan, Secretary
for War.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer.
Marquis of Ripon. First Lord of the
Admiralty.
J. Chamberlain, President of the
Local Government Board.
G. O. Trevelyan, Secretary for Scot
land,
A. J. Mundella, President of the
Board of Trade.
John Motley, Chief Secretary for
Ireland.
.Mr. Gladstone is reported to be in
high spirits, and full of hope and con
fidence in his power to settle the Irish
question. Mr. Morley is a Home Rul
er, >o is Mr. Childers. Mr. Gladstone
will introduce a scheme for the pur
chase of small holdings of land. This
will free the Irish from the cruelties
of landlords. This will be a great and
benevolent feature. Perhaps full
home rule may not be obtained yet,
but Ireland will have peace and pros
perity. Mr. Parnell will probably ac
cept this. It will, at least, be peace
and prosperity for Ireland and two of
the chief men will be Home Rulers
That will come at another time. We
said from the beginning that Glad
stone was the great friend and hope
of Ireland. Hurrah for Gladstone!
and Ireland! and Parnell! Gladstone
is the greatest Premier England ever
had, except the great Earl of Chat
ham, for whom Chatham county Vas
named. We would rather occupy
Gladstone's position than the throne
of England.
A general snow storm prevailed at

The trial of Rev. James G. Arm
strong, IX !>.. rector of St. Philip’s
(Episcopal) church, of Atlanta, was

houses of ill fame in Cincinnati last
Summer. The court decided that he
was not guilty of immorality, but
holds that by his indiscretion be vio
lated his ordination vows. The sen
tence of the court is a suspension for
a period of time in the discretion of
the Bishop, not to exceed ten years.

The Gullys.—Before the war
there was a family living near the
upper bridge named Gully. Every
wagoner who came to Athens in ante
bellum days will remember a lot of
idiots who stood on the side of the
street and begged tobacco. Two of
these idiots were sent to the asylum
before the war and have been there
ever since. Sheriff Wier has just
received notice that they would be
sent back to Athens, as the asylum is
not riie place for idiots, and the coun
ty must take care of them. The two
Gull vs are now about 50 years old.
They will be sent out to the poor
house.—Banner-Watchman.

There is not a true democrat in the
country, but will stand by the Presi
dent taEis refusal to give his reasons
for suspending Republicans, and ap
pointing Democrats in their places.
This demand on the part of the Re
publican Senators, was never heard
of until the passage of the present
absurd and ridiculous civil iservice
policy of appointments to office. The
law is bad enough; the claim for the
reason of the President's suspensions
and appointments, is absolutely con
temptible. We recently saw a state
ment to the effect, that out of the one
hundred and twenty odd thousand of
office holders under the Government,
the present administration has made
only pbout from twelve to fourteen
thousand changes. The grasping and
greedy Republicans, after enjoying
the offices for a fourth of a century,
are using every means in their power
to compel a Democratic Administra
tion to oontinue to dispense them for
their benefit. No one disputes the
fairness of the election which put the
Government under the control of the
Democratic party, and yet the Re
publicans are playing the part of cra
ving suppliants for positions which [of
right belong to the Democrats, and it
has come to a discreditable pass, that
we have a Democratic President with
an immense majority of Republican
officials. Is it possible, under such
circumstances, to have a harmonious
and consistent Democratic Adminis
tration? and to make the matter
worse, after the election of Mr. Tiklen
and Mr. Hendricks to the Presidency
and Vice Presidency, both the candi
dates elect, and the people, were frau
dulently cheated out of their constitu
tional honors, their rights and their
choice; and now, with a J>emocratic
President and cabinet, the Republi
cans are rioting in the spoils. We be
lieve the Civil Service law is uncon
stitutional, in that it takes from the
President prerogatives that attach to
him alone. It takes from him powers
that belong to him, and confers
them upon a “commision" unknown
to the constitution, thus establishing
a Republican despotism, the worst
kind that can be conceived of, and
it is sought to make impregnable to
assault covering over their servility
with a mask of words, admitting of
no doubtful construction.
We had supposed in the innocence of
our hearts, that in this land of free
institutions, the Executive organ of
the Government was bound to carry
out the legally expressed will of the
people, and that he was legally amen
able to them for the manner in which
his functions were exercised. But we
have said more than we intended, and
take leave of the subject for the pres
ent hoping that the President will
exercise his power with a due regard
to the maintenance of his rights and
the maintenance of tne great party
Which entrusted to his hands its safe
ty and preservation for the common
good of the people, and the preserva
tion, alike of our free institutions.

The Farmers’ club of Hancock met
last Thursday to hold its monthly

a county fair was discussed, and it was
determined to hold a fair. A large sub

suitable for the purpose. It appeared
to be the opinion of all the members
of the club that the oat crop was en
tirely killed, but all determined to
plant a spring crop.

A Liquor law introduced into the
Ohio Assembly provides that nobody
shall sell, give or furnish intoxicants
to be used as a beverage to any person
who is not a legal habitual drinker,
and does not have with him a certifi

21 years of age may become a legal
habitual drinker by making affidavit
before the probate judge of his coun
ty, registering name, age, residence
and occupation, and paying 50 cents
for registry and the certificate, which
the judge will thereupon issue. Sell
ing to a non-registered drinker is *a
misdemeanor, punishable with fine

The Closing Year.
BY GKO. D. PRKNTICK.
The Year
Has gone and with it many a glorious
throng
Of happy dreams. Its mark It on
each brow,
Its shadows in each heart. In its
swift course
It waved its scepter o’er the beautiful,
And they are not. It laid its pallid
hand
Upon the strong man: and the haugh
ty form
Is fallen and the flashing eye is dim.
It trod the hall of revelry where
thronged
The bright and joyous: and the fear
ful wall
Of stricken ones is heard, where erst
the song
And reckless shout resounded. It
passed o’er
The battle plain where sword and
spear and shield
Flashed in the light of midday: and
the strength
Of serried hosts is shivered, and the
grass,
Green from the soil of carnage, waves
above
The crushed and mouldering skeleton.
It came
And faded like a wreath of mist at
eve;
Yet ere it melted in the viewless air
It heralded its millons to their home
In the dim land of dreams.

Blount the Coming Man.—A
Washington special to the Atlanta
Capitol says:
“A well-posted politican remarked
in my hearing yesterday that Mr.
Blount, the member from the Macon
district, “was the coming man in
Georgia,” pollitically speaking, and
that nothing his opponents or ene
mies could do or say would disable him
or hinder liis course upward. “His
influence here is potent,” continued
the speaker, “and he will succeed
Senator Brown in the Senate and in
herit Mr. Brown’s reputation as the
shrewdest political leader in the State,
when the Senator has been gathered
among the “silent majority.” I give
the Capitol the benefit of this state
ment, as it comes from a very respect
able source, and it may prove prophet
ic. The kickers against Mr. Blount,
his plans and his politics, had better
keep a weather eye ahead. It is true
that as chairman of one of the impor
tant committees in the House, and
that the Post Offices and Post Roads,
Mr. Blount, in addition to the $4,000
patronage he has already obtained
from the House officials, will have a
big swing on Nr. Vilas and will be
able liberally to care for his friends
and liis district. That the opportuni
ty has presented itself by which he
can gain additional strength cannot
be gainsaid.”
PROHIBITION.
The liquor dealers and their friends
might as well wisely submit to the
Inevitable, save their money and pre
pare to engage in some other busi
ness, for the next legislature will pass
a general prohibition act. The will
of the people must become the law
under our torm of government.
Col. Clendennin, of Henry county,
Ala., says that they had prohibition
one year. At the Court before the
law went into effect, the Grand Jury
found 70 true bills : the first term af
ter the law went into effect, the Grand
Jury found 11 true bills, the second
term, 9. Now they have had whiskev

of court they found 50 true bills, and
at the second. 96 bills.

Prohibition in Hall
A Sad Case.
Some years ago 1 was called upon
to conduct the funeral services of a
man who had died under very affect
ing circumstances. He was once a
bright and promising lad, and bid fair
to make a useful man; but unfortu
nately he commenced dram drinking,
and it grew upon him, until he became
a confirmed drunkard. During the
last spree he ever took, lie thought
the devils, monkeys and snakes were
in him and round about him, dancing,
hissing, snapping and biting at him,
and they so terrified and liarrassed
him that he could bear it no longer.
3o he took his pocket knife and com
menced gouging into his flesh to cut
the monkeys out, but before he found
a monkey lie cut an artery, and soon
bled to death. At the funeral was his
heart-broken, grief-stricken mother,
shedding tears of sorrow for her lost
boy. Glad would I have been, if I
could have given her words of comfort
in reference to her son. But he had
died without God and without hope.
I could say this, “That the Lord of
Heaven and Earth will do right.”
How strange, that men should want
whiskey here, when it is destroying
the souls and bodies of so many.
Before I set up an establishment
and enter into the business of manu
facturing drunkards, let men bind a
millstone to my neck and give me
transportation to the middle of the
Atlantic Ocean, and there cast me
overboard, and let me go down so
deep that the whales will never find
me and bring me up and cast me upon
the shore again. I had rather lie on
the bottom of the Ocean until I hear
the voice of the Son of God, than
have that woe come upon me written
by the prophet Habakkuk, as he was
moved by the Holy Ghost. I will ask
you, Mr. Editor, if you please, to print
that verse in large capitals, as it is the
Lord's words and not mine, so that
I can see, understand and remember,
and fear, ever to come to Milledgeville
or to go to any other place to engage
in that business. Here it is—

Proof of Prohibition.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
The prohibition campaign commit
tee call attention to the subjoined let
ter and analysis from Professor H. C.
White, the state chemist:
Nine samples of liquor were bought
from nine different saloons in the cen
tral portions of the city by a gentle
man of undoubted veracity whose af
fidavit to the facts of the purchase,
marking and delivery of the samples,
with the list of places where the liq
uors were procured in his own hand
writing thereto attached is of file in
this office and will be exhibited to any
one interested.
These samples were delivered by
the purchaser, who was not on the
committee, to a member of this com
mittee, who sent them to Prof. White
in Athens to be analyzed, and the
analysis published below is the result.
It will be noticed he pronounces
three of these samples “execrable,
poisonous and unfit for use as drinks.”
Of these three so severely condemn
ed one (and the worst of the three) was
bought at one of the leading bars in
the city, while the other two were
bought at prominent bars on different
streets. *
This is only proof of what lias all
along been confidently asserted by our
leading physicians. How about “fu
sel oil” for medical use?

The Election Ordered for thi
Tenth ok March.—Gainesville,
February 3.—Ordinary Law has or
dered an election on'March 10th in
this county under the local option
bill. Already there are indications
that the contest will be olose and ex
citing. It Is understood that the Rev.
A. A. Marshall, of the Baptist church,
will stump the county for prohibition,
and it is said that Dr. Hawthorne, of
Atlanta, will give the prohibitionists
the benefit of his wonderful eloquence,
and bring to bear his experience and
observation in the Atlanta campaign.
Opinion is just as widely different
here as it is everywhere. Many claim
the county will go wet by 300 and an
equu! number put it just the contrary.

The Common Sense of Jim Blount.
! ,u P resKiou -
From the Madison, Ga., Madisonian.
The Sparta Ishmaelite very truly
says: “It will he hard to convince
the people of Georgia that Congress
man Blount is a dangerous man.”
A man that steadily and continuously
represented his district in congress,
as lias Mr. Blount, from the day he
was first elected until now, is
the best evidence that his people are
satisfied with him. Besides this, he
was born in grand old Jones county,
a farmer boy, one of the masses, and
has not been the least stuck up since
liis elevation to congress. He is the
same plain, practical, common-sense

C—remarks.
The impurities found in whiskies
are usually of two kinds.
(a) . Those added in the coloring
and flavoring matters for the purpose
of disguising the flavor and taste of
naturally bad whisky, or of imparting
an artificial pungency, such substan
ces as caramel and sugar are perhaps
legitimate additions; bad sugar, pep
per and inferior qualities of flavoring
matters are however, reprehensible;
they impair the quality of the liquor
and are exceedingly objectionable, be
cause of their physiological action.
(b) . Those resulting from careless
ness or the employment of inferior ma
terials in the manufacture of the distill
ed liquor. Of these the most common
and most objectionable is “fusel oil.”
This substance, a mixture of various
alcohols, has, approximately, fifteen
timeB the intoxicating effect of ordina
ry alcohol, and in addition to intoxi
cation, produces physiological effects
of marked and dangerous character.
Of itself, it is an active, virulent pois
on, and of course does not lose
this character by dilution iu whisky.
Its effects are only diminished in in
tensity, not in kind. Good whiskey
should contain no fusil oil, but ordi
nary, fair whiskies frequently, (per
haps generally) contain us much as 15
to 20 grains per gallon. •
Of tne samples above reported, No.
2, is an excellent quality of rye whis
key. Nos. 6 and 9 are very good arti
cles. Nos. 3, 4, and 5, are of medium
quality, not positively bad. Nos. 1,
7, and 8, are execrable, poisonous
stuffs, probably made from corn, and
possibly containing potato spirit.
They are totally unfit for nse as
drinks. jstraA,.
