BALD AT THIBT¥.
BY MILES MCLDOOW.
Years have flown, and with them hair.
That decked the brow of youth;
done the locks, oft brushed with care,
And left me bold as truth.
Once a wealth of curl or trese
Could spare without a cringe.
But now alas: I must confess
There's naught but hairy fringe.
Strong in limb, erect in gait,
And liearded like the pard,
I am doomed to shiny pate.
And tliink Dame Nature hard,
Some to crown with strength of hair
In fibre and in root,
While others slight, and leave them bare
And bald as any coot.
What though men in days of yore,
The sainted and the sage,
Modern wits, full many a score.
In profile, or on page,
Ar«* pictured bare from neck to crown;
I own I'm not enthralled
To share in any such renown
That marks the gifted bald.
Some one said, perhaps ’twas rude
To make a charge so vain,
That strength derived from human food
Made either hair or brain.
Ergo then, it must be true.
So rules this quondam sage.
To 1 wildness surely must accrue
Much wit In every age.
If so, then i am allied
With much of grave and gay,
Shaven monks, nud scholars tied ;
To study night and day—
Some may think it honor rare
l.» rank with such in name,
Yet I w< »uld change for shock of hair
My little meed of fame.

A negro woman named Susan Hemphill, on
last Tuesday was knocked from Petits creek
bridge, near Cartereville, by what is known as

but unsuccessfully. The train struck the un

Last week, while the ice was on the ground,
Mr. Wiley Kitchens, an aged and respected citi

Intelligent correspondents of the Sanders*
ville Courier say the farmers of Glasscock
county have gone to work in good earnest for a
large and full crop for the year 1878. The in-
auspiej. ius weather of the last few weeks and
the drouth of last year, instead of discouraging
the thrifty farmers of that self-sustaining
county, have acted as a stimulus. They now go
for the cultivation of larger areas with re
newed enery.

of age, six feet in height, blue eyes, sallow-
complexion, his front lower teeth project rather
in front of his upper teeth, is lean, straight and
slender built, weighs one hundred and thirty-
six pounds. The animal he borrowed of Mr.
Wood is a black filly, a scar on one shoulder,
white specks on her back, and is five years old.
The saddle was large, made of leather. Look
out for him and pick him up if you come across
him.

face of great prejudices, but which
steadily advanced and derived a great
stimulus from tiia last year aver
aged 1,000 animals per ioi.;gh The
Parisians, in fact, consume all the horses
in the city which arc past work, and
have even to obtain some from a dis

advocates are. in these efreutn^anees,

DEBATE ON THE QUEEN’S ADDRESS.
London, January 18.—In the debate
on the address in the House of Lords,
Lord Granville said the utterances
of Lord Beaconsfield during recess
had been couched in a tone of bellig
erent neutrality, and had differed
from the sentiments expressed by his
colleagues. If the assurances given by
the Russians in regard to the British in
terest were ur.satisfactory’, Parliament
should have been called together imme
diately. If satisfactory, the only effect of
summoning Parliament now was to cause
a feeling of insecurity.
Lord Beaconsfield said the summons of
Parliament was issued when there at first
appeared to be an opportunity for the in
auguration of peace negotiations. -The
Porte's appeal to England to intimate
her readiness to open peace negotiations
was in a measure made at tlie instance of
the British Government, although it was
at the same time spontaneously adopted
by the Porte. He repudiated the
newspaper statements concerning the
government’s policy, and strongly repu
dialed the accusation of a division in the
Cabinet. When the government, after
mature deliberation, decided upon the
policy of neutrality, they were not in
tluenced by considerations in regard to
the status of Kars and Batoum, but had
to consider the policy and condition of
many other countries. The government
never varied from the decision they had
first arrived at. Lord Beaconsfield de
clared that he had written no letter on
public affairs during the recess and had
only spoken once, and then in the pres
ence of his colleagues, on which occ sion
he had with their approval declared the
government’s policy to be one of con
ditional neutrality. Derby’s felici-
tious statement that the greatest
British interest is peace, was a rhetorical
expression, but Granville seemed to take
it as a statistical fact. Peace is a univer
sal interest, but when speaking of British
interest the government meant material
interest, the sources of wealth or safe
guards of the strength of the country.
When the}’ spoke thus they were told
it was a * mistake to suppose there
were interests peculiar to England, or if
there were they should hide them in a
corner. He did not think the govern
ment, by defining British interests, justi
fied imputations of selfishness, us all
countries frankly declared that they
were actuated by the same motives.
He did not admit that the govern
ment, having summoned parliament,
imposed upon them the dut} of immedi
ately explaining the apprehensions which
caused them to be so. Suffice it to say
that negotiations had Ijcen brought about
which might or might not be successful.
The government considered there were
British interests which must not be en
dangered. If the contest goes on, if
Parliament approves of the policy
of a conditional neutrality and guard
ing of these interests, the least they
could do was to give the government
the means of guarding them. Lord
Beaconsfield pointed to the opening of
the present negotiations as proof that
England was not isolated or uninflucu-
tial. Probably more difficult negotiations
than the present were never commenced,
but he hoped they might lead through
many obstacles* to the termination
of * the terrible struggle. There
was another kind of isolation be
sides that arising from decay. At
the beginning of the century England
alone asserted her national independence,
and if the same cause was again at stake,
or if any power again threatened,it would
be with a predominance fatal to national
liberty. He felt confident the House would
not fear the charge of being isolated, if
it stood alone in maintaining such cause
and failing, for British interests. He
concluded as follows: “If, in the nego
tiations, British influence is increased, as
God grant it may, I will express the
unanimous sentiment of the government
that that influence will be used for
the greatest interests of humanity, and for
securing stable and enduring peace. But
if we are called upon to defend the rights
and interests of England; if our present
hopes and prospects of peace are unreal
ized; if there are circumstances tjjat de
mand that we should appeal again and
again to Parliament for the means of the
vindication of the honor and interests of
the country, I am certain it will never
fail to take that course.” [Loud cheers.]
The Duke of Argyle said Lord
Beaconsfield’s speech was brilliant but
evasive. It was to be noted as a sign
ificant fact, that it made no mention of
the independence anil integrity of the
Ottoman Empire. If the government
meant that however long Turkey was re
spected Russia would be precluded from
entering Constantinople, the gravest ques
tions would arise.
Tne Marquis of Salisbury emphati
cally denied that the Cabinet was divided
or England isolated. The summoning
of Parliament could not encourage
the Turks to resist, as they had been
repeatedly told to expect no assistance
from England. The government
had don*U ail in tjieir power to secure
peace and good government for the Chris
tians in Turkey, but would not do any
thing to imperil British subjects
or their interests for the sake of
all Christians j n the world.
It was not, homcxgf, in despair of peace
that the government' now*asked Qr jvould
shortly ask Parliament to assist them
in taking the necessary precau-
tionr He did not wish to en
ter into Ite exact circumstances
under which the' intcie^* defined are
threatened, but knew that the waves
of war would approach closely the
localities indicated. He concluded: “If
you will not trust the government, pro
vide yourselves with a government that
you wiiUtrusi. If vou trust the govern
ment, provide it Vfth for
carrying out your eouddiiflte.’* 'The ott-
dress was then agreed to.
LETTER FROM OUR TRAVELING
CORRESPONDENT.
The Pinej Wood*.
Lumber City, January 16.—The
stranger who traverses our railroads only
has no conceptions of the vast forests of
pine timber that still stand in all their
native grandeur. While thousands of feet
every month are cut into timber by the
various mills that dot the country, and
millions more every year by every creek
and river and railroad find their way to
the sea coast, and thence to foreign lands,
yet the supply seems exhaustless, at
least to the untutored eye. However, I
have heard some of those who have been
longest here express fears upon this
point. They say the last few years have
made fearful inroads upon the finest sec
tions of timbered land and the demand
increases every year. They have fearful
forebodings of the future. They take
peculiar pleasure in reverting to the
time when they first came'into this wild
erness, when not a tree could be missed.
But these things are ,with the past, and
the woodman's axe rings in harmony
with his monotonous song, as he fells
one tree after another. New industries
springing up. bringing in scores of in
habitants, and developing the latent re
sources of this magnificient belt of nine
land. The Macon and Brunswick Rail
road has been a blessing to this section,
not only as a developer, but a promoter of
every industry; not only in making ac
cessible these lands, but also affording
facilities to carry’ its productions to the
beat markets.
LUMBER CITY.
It would be difficult for the unitiated
to divine the origin of this name as ap
plied to this place. There are only two
stores, one grocery and a tavern in the
corporate limits. A depot, a telegraph
office, a water tank, and a few residences
make up the balance of the city. Yet it
lias a history of some forty years stand
ing. I was unable to get *at the exact
facts, but as far as I could ascertain they
are about these: Something over forty
years ago a company of Northern men
conceiving that they saw* a fortune in
these pine forests, organized the “Geor
gia Land and Lumber Company,” and
built extensive mills. They purchased
large tracts of land, carried on business
for a season, got into trouble and
borrowed on mortgage from the State of
Indiana some $JUO,000. They utterly
failed a* last, and the State of Indiana
through her agent took possession ol
their property, and the “city” returned
to its wonted quietness. However, this
wax not the end, for by this transaction
the whole section has been involved in
endless trouble about the titles to prop
erty. The State of Indiana failed to
keep up the taxes, and the lands were
sold and bought by innocent parties in
good faith, who went on them and im
proved them. But since the railroad has
penetrated this country, certain parties
have set up claims to the property ob
tained ostensibly from Indiana’s interest.
What the end will be is not yet developed.
The mortgage upon this large property
has been transferred, and is now held by
a company bearing the old name, work
ed under the management of the Dodge
Brothers. They are doing a large busi
ness, having one mill in constant opera
tion near Darien, on the coast, and are
making preparations to build another in
this, Telfair county. They are at present
building a railroad, from the river to the
interior, penetrating their immense body
of land. They have at work on it over
two hundred and fifty hands, and every
thing ready for the iron for five miles
distant. If anything can lie made out of
it, they certainly will compass that ob
ject. The nearest point of this road to
Lumber City is eight miles, from which
point they haul all their stores and ma
terial.
There are some excellent farms along
the Ocmulgee rivers, and well cultivated.
The people are well to do, and seem to
enttr into the development of their sec
tion with commendable zeal and energy.

The Cry of the Money Changers.
Wilmington {N. C. * Morning Star.
The bankers, insurance men, money
lords and bondholders of the Korth are
moving heaven and earth to influence
the Congress not to undo the grand ras
cality that was perpetrated when the
silver dollar was demonetized. But this
is to be expected. What care they what
becomes of the country so their own
pockets are well lined? Men who could
deliberately connive at one of the great
est frauds ever perpetrated in the light of
day, are none too good to rejoice in the
defeat of the wishes of the country, and
simply because they are consumed by
selfishness, and are to be personally
benefited whilst nine out of ten men
must suffer.
Senator Edmunds is a fair example of
the representative men who stand by the
bondholders. In his place in the Senate
only a few years ago he insisted that Mi
ter and gold were the two standards, and
that the bonds were to be paid in either.
But what does he care for consistency or
justice 1 He knows all about the fraud
when in 1873 bv a sort of snap judgment
Congress passed the act demonetizing
silver. He turns up his eyes now in a
kind of pious ecstacv, and in snivelling
accents swears that it would be a great
crime (against the bohdholders of course)
for the bill of Senator Matthews to pass
which declares the right of the govern
ment to pay its bonds in silver. The bill
would only restore what had been foully
taken away—would give to the country
wliat of right belongs to the country.
But whilst Edmunds is moving, and
the bankers and bondholders are movinj
to compass a second iniquity, the peopl
are looking on not without interest. Sen
ator Davis, of Illinois, in introducing a
petition signed by four hundred bankers
and business men of Chicago, favoring
gold as the one standard, and opposing
the restoration of the dollar to the place
it held before it was demonetized, stated
that the opinion of these four hundred
was not the opinion of people generally,
but was "entertained by a very small per
centage” of the population of that city,
which numbers some 4.10,000.
The plan now of the Northern bankers,
in order that they may checkmate if pos
sible the popular movement in regard to
the "dollar of our daddies," is to put all
their future dealings on a gold basis. It
is believed by the advocates of the gold
basis that such a step will give a decided
check to what they are pleased to call "the
silver fanaticism.’’ The banks of New
I ork have already resolved upon such a
course. All future loans and contracts
are to be made payable in gold. It
tjjus, according to so respectable a paper
asthe New Aork Journal of Commerce,
"the silver plague is to be stayed."
It is certainly very singular when hon
est men can thus view a matter of so
much importance. They talk of “hon
est money,” of "fair dealing,” of "the
silver plague,” and so on, but have noth
ing to say about the great swindle upon
the country—nothing about the kind of
money in which the interest and princi
pal were to be paid. Even the Journal
of Commerce has attempted to make it ap
pear that the bonds were payable in floM
only when they were issued. The whole
thing is fraudulent and deceptive.
Id this connection it is pertinent to
refer to an able letter of the dale of
January 4th, 1878. from the pen of Hon.
Joseph J. Davis."hr member from the
Fourth district. It appeared in the Ra
leigh Xeics, and is a criticism upon some
statements that appeared in the Journal
of Commerce. We consider the subject
of sufficient importance, and Mr. Davis'
remarks of such point and force as to
require the reproduction of a part of his
admirable letter. Mr. Davis say;
When the five-twenties were issued it was
stipulated by the government that the interest
should be paid in com—not in gold—hut coin—
an.t both gold dollars and silver dollars were
then legal coin; but the principal of the five-
twenties was, by the contract, payable, as the
debts of other people, in legal tenders, which
were gold, silver or greenback:i; and the gov
ernment has the right now to pay all bonds, ex
cept those that specify on their face that they
an* to be paid in coin, in gold, silver or green
backs; but it cannot, without a breach of faith,
pay the new four per cent, bonds in anything
but coin ”of the standard value of the coin of
the United States on the I4th day of Julv, 1870,”
the date of the Funding Act. 'fhese four per
cent, bonds specify upon their face that they
are to be paid, not in gold, but "in
coin of the standard value of the coin of
the United States, as it was on the 14th -lay
of July. 1870." Silver dollars were then legal
coin of the United States—the standard value
ot the silver dollar was 412^ grains, and upon
the face of eveiy one of these bonds it is stated
that they are payable, not in gold, but in coin
of the standard value of that day. Who,
therefore, can. with any regard for truth, say
that the government is guilty of a breach of
faith, if it pays these bonds, according to the
c< ntract (gold or silver) of the standard value
of July I4th, 1870? I say nothing of the mo
tives of thi*se men who procured the passage
of the act of February, 1873, demonetizing the
silver, but I do say it was a gross wrong done to
the country, and one that ought to be re j mi red
at once.”
Common(ing upon some of the stric
tures and statements of our New York
contemporary, Mr Davis says with ex
ceeding pertinency:
"If the Journal of Commerce will produce
any bond, spiting in a single place, that it is
payable in gold, it would be dishbnest in Con
gress to pass an act to make it payable in any
thing else without the consent of tfao bond
holder; hut the truth is that not one of these
l>onds states in 'half a dozen places,’ nor in one
place, that it is payable in gold, hut in coin;
and silver iras com, in which they were legally
payable when issued; and the Bland bill only
proposes to make it legal coin again.”
‘ The same paper says: ‘The understanding
has been that the public debt was payable.
princii>al and interest, in gold.’ This statement
neither accords with the law nor the fact. The
interest, on most of the bonds is, bv the law,
payable in coin—that is, gold or silver: the
principal of most of them is payable in legal
tender—that Is, gold, silver or greenbacks.
Look upon one of your greenbacks and you
will find this solemn endorsement, put there bv
the Goveniment of t}*e United Suites: ‘Tnis
note is a h,gal tender at ns par value for all
debts, public and private, except debts on im
ports and interest on the public debt.* The in
terest on the five-twenties was payable In coin
(gold or silver), the principal in legal tender.
Tile funding act of July lith. 1870, authorized
bonds to be issued at five, four and a half and
four per cent., and these bonds, principal as
well as interest, are payable in coin—not gold—
but sianuaid cotq, teller apid or silver, as they
were on that day. to-wit: 3uly 14th. 1870.“
Here is one more hut for tbu advocates
of the gold standard only to crack:
‘’The Journal *bf Commerce seqjDS to hare a
holy horror of paying the bonds in a depre
ciated rurrenev. The bonds pay no tax; they
oare app,-e,.iafwt purcLasma uhile
m-ai-i v every other species uf proper! v has de
preciated. If the government pays them ac
cording to the contract they certainly have no
legal right to complain. If it pays them in a
eorreney worth from thirty to forty per cent
more than was paid by the holder* of the bonds,
tney certainly have no moral right to complain
." hen the bonds were issued they were paid for
in a currency greatly depreciated—worth in
tact, upon an average, not more than sixty or
sixty-five cents in the dollar in gold. If paid
now in greenback3 or till er, they will get pay
ment in currency worth at least thirty per
cent, more than that which they loaned to the
gorormne^; ’*
A Terrible March.
Mrs. Rosa Griffith, wife of Capt. D. A.
Griffith, of the Third United States In
fantry, has sent to the Reading (Pa.)
Eagle the following account of the ex
perience of the regiment in its recent
march to the post at Missoula. If this
account is true, and there is no reason to
doubt it, the management of the War De
partment is even worse than we supposed:
’’The regiment, which had been sta-
stioned in the South for some years, was
ordered to the Pennsylvania coal region
during the strike riots last summer, and
was then suddenly ordered West to assist
in subduing Chief Joseph and his Nez
Perces Indians. Thy went to Corinne.
U. T., and from there were ordered to
Montana, several of the companies being
ordered to Helena, and the balance of
the regiment to the new post at Missoula
The hardships endured by the troops
during the tramp of over six hundred
miles were terrible. The men of the
command were ill prepared, by reason of
their long residence in New Orleans, for
the rigors of early winter in the Rocky
Mountains, and their sufferings were
acutely intense. During a part "of their
journey they were exposed to a violent
snow storm, with the thermometer fif
teen degrees below zero. Not an officer
or soldier in the regiment was pro
vided with overshoes or gloves.
Not a few of the men were nearly bare
footed, and, added to the agony of freez
ing feet, was the additional torture of
being forced to grip the -old steel of their
muskets with naked hands dav after dav.
When the regiment left New Orleans
there were not five dollars in possession
of officers and men. The women and
children belonging to the command, in
cluding the wives and offspring of the
officers, numbered thirtv-two, and trans
portation for these of course had to be
secured at individual expense. It is said
that but for the timely aid of friends,
who, understanding the impecunious
condition of the rank and file,
advanced a little money out of
their own private means, these dependent
and destitute followers of the
camp must have suffered abandonment
in their time of greatest need. On the
march northward to Corinne several of
the women and children fell sick under
the terrible exposure, and for weeks their
lives were almost despaired of. The
transportation outfit allowed the com
mand was limited to three ambulances.
As there was not a dollar of money in the
regiment, the simplest wants of the sick
could not be gratified, as the Isolated
ranchmen and hunters in that country re
fused to part with anything when ’ the
cash was not forthcoming. Finally, as
the regiment was nearing the end of their
march, ragged, footsore, penniless and
shivering, some of the officers sold their
pay-rolls for cash, but not without the
sacrifice of a discount of 23 per cent, on
the dollar.”

One of the most elegant dinners of
this winter was that given by General
and Mrs. Noyes, last week, to Minister
Stoughton and bis wife as they passed
through Paris on their way to Itus.-i
Twenty-six persons were present, the
spacious dining-room of our hospitable
Minister’s uew residence affording ample
accommodation for tliat number. The
table was superbly and profusely decor
ated with flowers, including an exquisite
centre piece of pale piuk roses and white
lilacs. Mrs. Noyes wore a very elegant
toilette of black velvet, trimmed with
black lace and elair-de-lune jet. Mrs.
Stoughton was in rose-red silk, trimmed
with red satin and jet; around her throat
was clasped a very superb necklace of
diamonds.
Mrs. Sickles was in rose pink satin,
with overdress of white net, covered with
applique flowers in black velvet and jet
embroidery, and trimmed with garlands
of piuk roses and black velvet leaves;her
ornaments were very superb diamonds.
Mrs. Mackav, of California, was in white
silk, trimmed with white satin and
fringe; the corsage was ornamented with
fine Valenciennes lace, and was clasped
at the throat with a crescent of large dia
monds. Diamond porte-Iionheur brace
lets, and earrings of pear-shaped pearls
set in diamonds, completed this rich, vet
simple toilet.
Mrs. Torltert. wore an overdress and
corsage of peach colored brocade over a
trained underskirt of peach-colored silk,
and locket and earrings of diamonds. I
should think the Russian Court would
gain a very favorable idea of the ]K-r-
sonal appearance of our country people

Marriage of the White and Negro
Races.
Marshall (Terns’ Messenger.
One of the most important decisions
ever rendered by the courts of Texas was
the one delivered by Judge M. D. Ector,
presiding justice of the Court of Appeals,
during the recent session of that court at
Tayler. in the case of Charles Frasher vs.
the' State.
Frasher was indicted in the- District
Court of Gregg county for marrying a ne
gro, which is made a penal offence by the
Penal Code of our State. The jury hav
ing found him guilty under instructions
from the court, he appealed from the
judgment to the Court of Appeals.
The Hon. T. H. Duval. Judge of the
United States District Court for the
Western District of Texas, some months
since, discharged a white man on habeas
corpus, who was charged by the State
Court with the same offense, holding that
tlie State law was in violation of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to
the Constitution of the United States,
and of the first section of the civil rights
bill. He held further, that the Slate
law affixing a penalty against the white
person who entered into such marriage
and assessing no penalty against the
negro, was class legislation, and was evi
dently intended to apply to the condition
of negro slavery, which existed at the
date of the passage of the act, to wit,
lsJ9. Many good lawyers throughout
tbe State agree with Judge Duval in his
opinion, ami some of the District Judges
have held the same way.
The Court of Appeals, however, hold
to a different opinion, and decide
First. That the statute of the State is
not in violation of the Constitutional
amendments, or of the civil rights bill.
Second. Marrying is an institution
left to the discretion of the States under
their general power to regulate their
domestic affairs, and that the parties to
the contract cannot regulate it bv an
agreement among themselves; that they
have no control over it, but it is a matter
of municipal regulation.
Third. That Congress possesses no
power, under the Federal Constitution,
to regulate and control the institution of
marriage in the several States of the
l nion. They say that the statute fixing
a penalty upon the white person alone,
and none ujatn the negro, is a matter ad
dressing itself to the Legislature, ttnd
not to the courts.
Judge Ector's opinion is a very able
one. and sustained by numerous decisions
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, prescribing rules of construction.
It is to lie hoped that no conflict will
arise between the State and United States
Courts, and that the tendency of central
ization will not affect the judiciary as it
has all other branches of the government.
