Several monies prior to ber death -be railed around ber bedside one or two of her most intimate lady friend-, ami requested, in order to pare ber hnsband the trouble, that her shroud should be gotten ready before her death. She desired that ber husband would carry her remains for interment back to her native State, that .-he might be buried by the side of her venerated mother. She dis posed of her little treasures, as she ?Tf death approaching, to different members of a loved family, with as mnch earnestness and serenity as if he were but parting for a single day. tXfcaier once did she fail to recognizi the fact that she was soon to be called into the presence of God her Father.

Xow w ant's thy ^g<yt>d The history of parties records no f ariUief td ihe progress of the Democ racy under its present organization, but in many districls in the last elec tion our majorities were so slight that the change of but seven hundred votes could give the Republicans the next House of Representatives by a major- y of four. The rapture of t hese close districts is now the chief hope of the Republicans, and if our friends there are not sustained and encouraged by conservatism and harmony in ''Ottr larger majorities we certainly shnll lose them. While the Democrats preserved unity in action their control of the government was peaceful and pros perous. Nothing, other than division in their own ranks, could have lost them that control or made the civil war possible. The close of the war found the party disorganized and scattered; but the principles lived on, 'and the more thoflghtfdl soon rose to their defense. Theeletnent of discord d passed away and conservatives ’everywhere raUied to their call for reorgkhftilibti. •• The encroachments of Federal power, exhibited in the riudictively tightened grip of recon struction, aroused antagonism in every section, while many, disgusted at the corruption and shameless plun dering of the dominant party, turned to the ranks of the Democracy and now stand arrayed to battle for the restoration of honest government. Forces are no longer divided in states or sections but into Congres sional districts, and while one party is greatly dominant in some parts of the field, and the other in others they are very, nearly equally divided in the districts that will determine the result The Democrats of these close districts, North and West, look anx iously to the South and nothing esn so effectively aid them as the strict maintenance of conservatism and uni ty of action in the Southern wing of the party. As above stated, the advance of the Democratic party under ita present leadership is unprecedented, and look ing back to 1875!, no friend would ad vise any change. Its Representatives in Congress hare all been constantly in the straggle, and much of this suc cess is due to their vigilcnce and good management. Identified witli all its past—familiar with its preseht policy and plans; of approved integrity, and advised of the schemes of the adver sary, our best hope rests on holding them to the responsibility of their posts, and keeping our present organ ization intact. No one, however tal ented,’ ran become an efficient. Repre sentative with an experience of less than two terms, anil any new man sent by the Democrats to the next Congress must impsir their chance for success. There are many in the Democratic ranks who merit the highest honors, but in an exigency like the presont a trne Democrat will subordinate any personal interest to the success of bis party. Rotation in office is a correct prin ciple, and to enforce it the first object is to rotate the Democratic party into the power of rotating its triends into place. If Democrats everywhere will but keep this in view ami work up to U the next President will ben Demo crat. My private interest in Hie matter is cxjreincly small, but I should greatly lament to see any change made in the present Georgia delegation. The in troduction of inexperienced men into the next Congress would alike injure lie prospect ol'tlie Democratic parly, ud impair the strong influence of Hie state within the patty. It is with the Southern Democrats to determine which party shall win in 1880. Yours very respectfully, • ' " .1. L. K.

ATLANTA LETTER. Atlanta, Ga.J April 27, 1878. Editors News: It is a long time since a furor scribendi has attacked us, and even now owing to the state of the weather, which is warm, and the natural proclivity of man, which is laziness, the attack could vastly he overcome. But the weekly receipt of your paper and the recollection of friends there keep nllve our interest in that fair little city on the hanks of the Throputccska. i The numerous and .encouraging ac-. omits of Ibe Fair about to lie in Al bany, lifts created a strong desire to be present, but we can only witness afar oil' its success, which we hope and doubt not. The Gate City is dressed in a love ly Spring suit, and all nature smiles. The season of opera and halls has giv en place to summer amusements.— Numerous excursions , to the Moun tain resorts are advertized. When hot weather comes we hope to meet some of your citizens on our streets. Our altitude is so high mid the air so pure that there is no necessity to go farther north; mid we had best keep our money in our own State. Business is reviving somewhat; and it seems no matter bow depressing Hie limits, are Atlanta continues to grow. There are many buildings now in the process of erection. We nre persuaded that, notwithstanding the opposition made, the State at large is now well satisfied that Atlanta shall remain the capital city. The State liould be proud of our industry and prosperity. If sbe__is not now she will be in ten years. Yesterday, Memorial day, was ap propriately observed and celebrated. The procession reached the cemetery at 1 o’clock. A dozen mounted police lead the van ; the U. S. Band from the Barracks followed; the orator of the day Air. Robinson of Marietta, ac companied hy two of our leading cit izens. then followed the Cadets, the Governors Guards and the Gate City Guards, witli arras reversed—they march all in silence—they look on the ground; school children follow in their pure while dresses and the pro cession is closed by the Knight Tem plars mounted and endless train of citizens following. Solemnly they wind about to the music of a funeral dirge, amid hedges and flowers, and rest at last at the base of that magnif icent granite monument, erected to Hie memory of the gallant dead,whose shaft month in and mouth out silently points to Heaven whence tlieir spirits have lied. So great was the crowd that we could not approach near enough to hear the speaker who spoke from the pedestal of the monument; but fitting words were said in memo ry of those whose lives were shed, let ns trnst for the good of the country. Then “virgins as soft as the roses they twine” place their annual tribute of flowers upon the graves; and as the garlands were deposited upon the hallowed ground, many a tear be dimmed eye saw not the crowd or scenes around her hut only the form of a brother or a lover, who laid aside tlie bloodstained arms of war to rest in the Neiv Jerusalem.— What a touching proof is it of the generosity of the .Southern people that the flowers lie both over the gray and the blue. \ / -4— »<■■— .Tosh Billings* Philosophy. The uncertainties of life is just what makes it endurable. The devil never was known yet to desert Ills friends in a light spot, lint gets them in a tighter one, and then than my judgment. {/ * As a general thing the philosoph ers ol' the world have spent much of their time eating stewed terrapins, then tottqig oUii i fuJkfbow unhealthy they are. Mv friynd.il' you just give other people tlie same privileges that you claim for yourself, you will he sur prised to see how smooth and still tlie old machine rims. It is very easy to expain a defeat. AVe charge il ovcr.to the had luck ac count. If there wasn’t any fools this world would be a dreadful desolate place to live in; it wouldn’t pay to be wise or even cunning. it il was against the law to guess at things we wouldn’t know much. One of the strongest points in the devil’s character is, never to eonsider anything out of his reach. The more a man knows the less lie doubts; when reason fails to let fnitli lend him. There is no theory Hint will work on tlie jumping tooth-ache like the dentist's forceps. silence is the fool's safety, anil the wise man's strength. AVe all pa rise content incut,hut none of ns practice it. A loafer is a human being, and Ibis is the most mortifying thing about Dim. Trying to live on a pedigree is a good deal like trying to live on dried apples; about the best tiling you can do after you have tilled yourself is to Ink Irink and sit down and swell. There is but little bad luck in the world—hut there is a heap of had management. Vanity and jealousy ulways travel together—two very selfish creatures. Young man, if you want a cheap obituary notice, let your hair grow out, drink whiskey, and rave to the full moon ami die in tin- gutter. If a man lias got a good article of re ligion, lie don't Iut veto advertise it lo tind a market. About one half Hull even the wisest man known is mere theory. Young iiian, don’t forget tills: Bel ting ten dollars on it won't prove bow far a boll-frog can jump. DOTS FROM CALHOUN. THE PICNIC. Yesterday quite a number ofladies and gentleman met at the residence of Mr. I,. D. Monroe and formed a picnic, in celebration of the 1st day of May, 1878. AVe have been inform ed that il was gotten up by the •‘In nocent Club,” of Leary, and it so we must congratulate the members on their success, for never before has it been our pleasure to meet a more gonteel looking crowd of young peo ple than that gathered together on said occassiou. The young men were very polite uuil attentive to the girls, each one striving to make the mo ments pass ofl'pleasantly. The young ladies were all as sweet as could be and looked as light, hearted and gay a9 little butter-flies. AA’e reached the spot about elcvon o’clock atid found the fun merrily go ing on, and soon we might have been seen leadiug a partner out to make time with Prof. Eckfortl’s nice music. The dancing commenced about 9 or 10 o’clock, a. in., and continued until 12, when all were invited to a shady grove, where a table had been con structed for the occasion and literally covered with the greatest variety of choice vegetables. Everything was in abundance except greenbacks, and if any one went away hungry it was Ills own fault. All the married ladies and some of the young ones carried full baskets, and they, assisted by Afi> Monroe ami his estimable lady, suc ceeded in getting up one of the best picnic dinners the writer has attend ed in several years. AA’e are indebt ed to Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Sasser for a Number 1 round meal, and we feel grateful, too, to Uncle Pony for show ing us around. AVe eat a little of everything on the table except the chicken pie and sweet potatoes, and before getting around we began to feel somewhat anxious for the “ease” of ourself. AVe eat, and eat, and eat, finally winding up on a dish of Mrs. Clayton’s nice beans, and went away sighing because our receptacle would not admit of more. Don’t know how Boss came oat. Judge was complain ing of being sick, but the manner in which he put away IrDh potatoes did not at all corroborate his statement. He might have been a little sick after eating—we don’t know as to that. B. and K. were the hungriest looking men «n the ground, and they might make it pay to attend the Dawson fair. Jim was looking well, though rather thin, and from his dignified and commanding appearance, we took him for the president and gen eral director of the “Innocent Club!’’ Charlie looked as “innocent” as a lit tle Iamb, while T. seemed to have for gotten something. 7.. was looking as fine and sober as a Judge, while J. moved over the floor with the agility of a little squirrel. After dinner was fairly over the dancing was resumed and kept up till late in the afternoon. The music was furnished by tho Cuthbert String Band and Prof. Eckford. The Pro fessor is a dancing master, and amus ed the young people a great deal in teaching them new figures. He seem ed to be a jolly fellow, and added much to the enjoyment of the occa sion. After the party broke up. several of the young men from Leary anil a few of the young ladies came over to Morgan, anil finished up the evening hy taking a social dance, after tea, at the hotel. ITuele Phil seemed to he as happy as a stm-ffnwrr, and used every effort to have the young people enjoy themselves. He is one out of a thousand; always has .sonietliiug good to cot, and a kind word for everv- L think I Karl rather- trnst mv faith:-hod v. AA’e only notice personally two young ladies. Miss liufefl, front Ter rel, whose hcauty anil grace especial ly attracted the writer’s attention, and Miss Dixie Clayton, the accom plished daughter of Judge I*. P. Clay ton, who is on a short visit to her home in Morgan. Miss Dixie is n student of one of the Colleges in Cuthbert, and will return next Mon day.
