The Ai-bavv News, published by
Messrs. Weston & Evans, is one of die
very best weeklies in the State of
Georgia. The New* circulates thro',
tlie most prosperous section of South
west Georgia, which is directly trib
utary to Savannah, and is a most val
uable advertising medium for our
cotton and commission merchants and
business men generally. It has an ex
tensive circulation, and we can heart
ily commend it to our business com
munity.—Sacannah years.
“Vice la Independent” cries out
the Atlanta Republican, the organ ot
defunct Radicalism in Georgia; and
thus speaks of matters in the Second
Congressional District:
In the second district there is hard
ly any doubt an Independent will be
brought out. He is already named—
an ex-M. C.—and a man of cultnn-
and liberal views. The Republican'
have called a conference in Albanv on
the 20th prox. It is intended to
strengthen tlie organization and to be
ready when the time comes for action.
The Republican* ran easily elect any
man on whom they concentrate.
Why, the Rads are playing a sneak

We have heretofore expressed our
preference for the rc-noniinatinn of
Hon. Wm. E. Smith, for Congress, liy
tlie approaching Convention to assem
ble in Camilla, on tlie fitli of Septcui-
lier next. In , this choice, we have
not been influenced by any considera
tion of mere private friennship, nor
of local-citizenship, nor liy the many
personal good traits ami qualities,
that endear hint to his friends. Those,
he no doubt, shares in common witli
several other estimable gentlemen
who have been mentioned in connec
tion with the nomination, and whose
pretensioh* we are not disposed to
undervalue.
We are satisfied, however, that
CApt. Smith is the' tint choice of a
large majority of the voters of both
political parties in the District; and
that tills confidence Iswell merited-
we have been at the pains to compile
from the Congressional Record of the
past two sessions, some of the more
promineut of his acts as a Represen
tative, to whirli we invite tlie candid
attention of our readers. Ills friends,
we are sure, may contldeutly chat
lenge a comparison between tills re
cord, and that of any other member
lrom tba South in the present Cou
gross. TVo doubt) in fact, if the re
cord of any, member would disclose
an equal amount of activity, zeal ami
efficiency combined. But let the Re
cord speak for itself.
1st, Among the earliest of his offi
cial acts, we find that Hon. Wm. K.
Smith was the only mcmlier from
Georgia in the 44th Congress to iu-
trodnee a hill to repeal the onerous,
partial and inhibitory tax of ten per
<ent. on state and municipal circula
tion. This inequitable tax, imposed
in the interest of the National Hank*,
was particularly severe in Us opera
tion at tbe South, where tlie scarcity
of currency and the impossibility of
supplying Us place hv temporary lo-
cal issues, was a frequent cause of in
convenience aud distress. The object
of Ids repeal was, to enable the sever
al States to regulate the issue of pa
lter money in their own way, so a* to
make it impossible, at any time, to
create a local money famine, as had
frequently happened, and may hap
pen again. The bill was ably argued
by Capt. Smith before tlie Committee
on Banking and Currency, but tlie
National Bank interest bore too
troogly on the Committee, ami tlie
bill was reported on adversely. The
bill, however, is still peuding before
Congress, and will be strongly advo
cated l>y the Hon. Mr. Hill ami
others >n tlie Senate when Congress
meets.
2nd. : Early in the same session, we
find that he urged upon Congress tlie
repeal of the Resumption Act, and to
prevent the further retirement of
Greenbacks. These measures he sup-
IMMted in iin able speech, delivered in
the House on the 14th of June, 187(5,
which was widely circulated at tlie
time, and is now, no doubt, in the
hands of many of his constituent*
lie afterwards had the satisfaction of
seeing his leading ideas on these im
portant subjects, embodied, almost in
his identical words, in Air. Tilden't
platform, adopted by the St. Louis
Convention on the 28th of June'187ti.
If space permitted, we would he glad
to print corresponding extracts from
these documents, hut they are both
probably in reach of many of our
readers. The House has since then,
twice passed this bill. The Secretary
of the Treasury moreover, has since
forbidden the further cancellation of
greenback*, and has asked of Con
gress authority to re-issue such bills,
on tlie same terms as private Bank*.
A proposition too, has since been
made to make greenbacks receivable
for all govcmment diies, thus making
them at once equal to gold.
3rd. In tlie Campaign of 1870, Capt
Smith was the first candidate
Georgia to denounce on the slump,
tlie demonetization of silver, a* a
fraud on labor, and an injury to tlie
industries of the country. Thi* he
did at Morgan, Thomasville and at
Baiubridgc, at which latter place the
lion. B. 1L Hill and himself address
ed a largfUssembly. His course upon
all the financial measure* before Con
gress has been steady and consistent
and lie has had the satisfaction and
tlie country the benefit, of seeing nil
ver again made a legal tender, ami
the dollar of our father* restored to
its original normal position, from
which a corrupt administration sidin
with the cupidity and arrogance of
Hie Bondholders ami (told rings, lead
degraded it. His next effort ill- this
direction, will lie to place silver, as
to coinage, on the same footing with
gold, a fitting finale to ids labors in
liebalf of industry against orgaiii/ed
capital nuil monopolies.
-fill. Another of liisoflleial nets,and
one for which tlie ladies of hi* Dis
trict will es|ieejally thank him, is the
-tatiil lie took as a member of the
Committee on Patents in securing the
dcfi-at of the A. It. Wilson hill to ex
tend the Sewing Machine Patent.—
This measure which had for its object
to continue in n few wealthy manu
factories and firms, the exclusive right
to make ami sell these machines, and
which they had enjoyed for a long
scries of years, was signally defeated
in the Committee, notwithstanding
(lie money and presure under which
it was introduced, mainly through the
exertions of Capt. Smith. The price
of sewing iiinrhincH were reduced at
once one half, ami the head or a for
midable monopoly was crushed for
ever.
iith. On the same Committee, we
find that lie successfully opposed, and
aided to defeat Cook's Colton Arrow
Tie Patent. Thi* was another great
mon»|>oly that annually drew- thous
ands of dollars from the cotton plant
er of the South. All persons may
now compete in the manufacture of
this imlis|s-ii*alile urticle, the hcm-fils
Of which our planters will not he
alow to realize and acknowledge.
Cth. Among other miscellaneous
subjects that received our vigilant
member's attention, and which nro too
numerous to he dwelt on in detail,
may he added ids labors in securing
mail service, and ill establishing Post
Offices, ami Post Routes in Ills Dis
trict and and State; obtaining appro
priations for the improvement of the
Flint and Chattahoochee, and the
storking of these niul other Georgia
rivers with food fish. We note, too,
with satisfaction his earnest, though
unsueccssfktl attempts to reduce the
Tax on Tobacco and Whiskey. Also
his advocacy of tlie Income Tax Bill,
a measure specially devised, to reach
the enormous income of the Bond
holders, whose capital being exempt
from taxations, caused so dispropor
tionate a burden of Federal taxation
to fall on alt subjects of legitimate
entepriso and labor. We may remark
here that the defeat of the two form
er measures, to-wit, the reduction of
the Whiskey and Tobacco tax, was
mainly due to tlie efforts of the Bond
holder*, who. by keeping up the rev
enucofthe Government fronnthesc
two sources, sought to divert atten
tion from tlie large amounts paid
them as interest on Government se
curities.
7th. As a mark of the appreciation
in which onr member is held in the
House, we note tlie fact that his name
appears as a mcmlier of no less than
four of the most important standing
Committees, to-wit: The Committee*
on Patents, on Public Lands, on the
Census and on the Select Centennial
Committee; his connection witli
which Committees, brings him into
dose ami intimate association with
tlie ablest minds in the body. Very
few other members have been similar
ly distinguished by tlie observant and
critical eye of such a Speaker as Mr.
Randall, and we believe in the num
ber and character of tlie Committees
lie appears on, no other member from
Georgia lias been equally honored.
Stli. Blit the one official act of Capt
Smith to which his friends can point
with peculiar satisfaction, is Ins vote
against the Electoral Commission
Bill, iu other words, the hill to create
Court out of partizan material, to
count the vote for President, instead
of counting it as prescribed by the
Constitution. Tlie invidious distinc
tion of being tlie only member from
Georgia to oppose this measure of
Radical ingenuity and fraud, has pro
voked much and varied comment as
to his judgment and motives. To
those acquainted with Capt. Smith, a
indication of either would be entire
ly superfluous.
We hail, however, intended to
notice, at some length, the features
of this much discussed measure, but
having rc-publishcd on our first page
his own reasons for his opposition to
it, delivered in the House some two
years ago, we deem further comment
unnecessary. In this brief argument,
our readers will find embraced a terse
and comprehensive summary of ail
the reasoning which justified its op
ponents their in opposition to it. One
wonld think, however, that the oppo
nents of a measure, ttys success of
which made the Potter Committee n
necessity, and which in turn lias
astounded the whole country by its
revelations, could hardly stand in
need of vindication or apology.

TROUBLE >IT PER BASE BALUSTS.
Albany and Americas Both Claim the Day.
Albany, Ga., August. 0,1878.
Editors Albany Hews: As you rec
ollect. our hoys went, over to Sinitli-
vilte ou the 31stinst.,as per clinllenge,
to contest for the base ball champion
ship of Amcricus and Albany. Al
bany boro off tlio luurels of tlie day ;
nnd it wns agreed on all hands that
Hie game was fairly fought and won.
Air. Editor there arc two way* of
taking a defeat. One is good-humor
edly ; the other is to heat around aud
hunt exciiaes as to tlie cause of tlie de
feat. ThisTatter course lias been pur
sued liy Hie Amcricus gentlemen.
At the beginning of the game it was
agreed by tlie Captains of both nines
Hint we should cither play live or sev
en Innings, as was most, ronvenient.
At the fifth wo were ahead, also af
ter the seventh. Tlie sixtli inning was
Hie only time the Amcricus Club was
ahead. Now our Amcricus friends
knowing tliis wished to completely
ignore tlie seventh inning; then of
course it would devolve upon us to
take the fifth ns our terminus; but, no.
no, says Amcricus, you are ahead
that, take the sixtli. We wore unwil
ling to do that as our arrangement
was fifth or seventh.
Did you ever hear of just such
smart young men as Amcrieus can
boast of? They ought to lie promoted
to secoud clerks in shooting galleries
or some such high position where
their shrewdness could he brought
into play.
There’ never was a game of base
ball that could end on an evon num
ber of innings, the reason is quite ap
parent. But our Americus gentle
men have seen fit. to publish the score
of tlie sixtli in the Sumter Republi
can, thereby deceiving their town,
and impairing their honor. But wc
may be too broad in our remarks, as
wc ilo sincerely believe there were
hoys in that club who would be above
such an act; but a few whom this act
is lar above.
Let us call your attention to anotli
cr glaring fact which proclaims loud
ly ui our favor. It is very strange
that we should have carried off our
prize of the game without n struggle
if they had considered themselves vic
tors. Wc defy any member or mem
hers of the Wide Awakes to refute
any remarks we have made, or deny
any part of our asserted agreement.
There is an old saying, “All is fair
in love and war.” Base ball may be
classed a kind of war; but remember,
gentlemen, tiicre must he honor in
all tilings, honor first, honor last.

The nth Congressional District.
HO*. JOEL A BILLUPS NOMINATED.
On Thursday last, August 1st, the
Democratic Congressional Conven
tion of tlie Ninth District wns called
to order in Gainesville. lion. Hiram
P. Bell and Dr. H. H. Carlton entered
the convention witli strong delega
tions in favor of each; but the two-
tliirds rule was adopted, and a dark
horse was brought in by consent of
the two factions, and nominated by
acclamation on the second day. His
name is Joel A. Billups, and tie hails
from the county of Alorgan. The
Democracy of the District hail his
nomination with enthusiasm, and it
is thought lie is the strongest innn in
the Ninth. He will haven hard road
to travel, however, running against
the Inde|ieiident, Emory Speer. It is
predicted that Billups will carry-the
district liy a majority of 3IJOO.
Speaking of the new innn for the
Georgia delegation in Congress, the
Atlanta Constitution says:
Colonel Billups is about fifty years
old, and is recoguized at one of the
best slump s|icakcrs in the State, al
though neither Ills inclinations nor Ids
duty lias led him of late years to ex
ercise liis gift* in that direction. He
was lxirii in Clarke eoiintv, and has
always been closely identified with
the people. Before the war lie wns
an old line whig, mill during the
memorable canvas' lietwecn Joe
Brown mill Ben Hill for the Gover
norship, lie made a reputation in
Georgia as one of the most forcible,
tliicnl and eloquent of our stump
speakers. Time has hilt ripened Ids
abilities, and lie will make one of the
most vigorous null most, impressive
campaigns ever known in Georgia.—
liis private life mid Ids public record
are absolutely above reproach. They
cannot lie attacked either openly or
liy insinuation, mid in meeting him
upon tlie stump, Mr. Speer (if, indeed,
lie is not inclined to follow tlie ex
ample of Dr. Felton) will he eoitipcll.
ed to confine himself strictly to advo
rating the one-man principle ns op
posed to the principles of the Demo
cratic parly. Colonel Billups is, as
w'e have said, one of the most impres
sive speakers in tlie State, full of hu
mor, eloquent, incisive, vigorous nnd
a man of great personal magnetism.
Tim Democracy of the District may
trust their banner to Ids hands witli
llic assurance that lie will carry it to
victory.
HOW IS YOUR HEAD/
Does it ache? Have you sick stom
ach, arid stomach, heartburn ? Are
you troubled witli a constipated hab
it, and do you wish to use a medi
cine just as pleasant as a glass of soda
water? If so, send for one bottle of
ISailey’s Saline Aperient (only 50 cts.)
and you will lie delighted. It is a
cooling and sparkling purgative,
adapted to all ages mid sexes; acts
pleasantly and promptly, attended
with no griping, no sick stomach.—
One dose frequently relieves sick
headache. It relieves constipation at
once. All druggists have it and will
recommend it to you.
Overtasking the Energies.
It is not advisable for any of us to
overtask our energies, corporeal or
mental, but in the eager pursuit of
wealth oa fame or knowledge, hon-
manv transgress this salutary rule. It
must he aniattterof great importance
to all who do so to know how they
eanregnin the vigor so recklessly ex-
peffiled. Tlie remedy is neither ’cost
ly or difficult to obtain. Hostettur’s
Stomach Bitters is procurable in eve
ry city, town and settlement, in Amer
ica, and it compensates for it drain of
bodily or mental energy more effectu
ally than any invigorant ever pre
scribed or advertised. Laboring men,
athletes, students, journalists, lawyers,
clergymen, physicians, all hear testi
mony to its wondrouslv renovating
powers. It increases tlie capabilities
for undergoing fatigue, and counter
acts tlie injurious effects upon the sys
tem of exposure, sedentary habits,
