TRUE HEROISM.
AW HA STICK HSUIIT.
ay TUI SfW'B LAI PpiAOHMl
Who that has s soul oapable of enno
bling sentiment, does not admire the
struggling hero in seery station and call
ing, who (controlled in his aims by cor
rect moral principle*,) bnffels opposition,
endure* toil, even when the odd* are
against him, and undaunted, presses for
ward, despite of privations, and mayhap,
through much p|ywical and mental agony.
K a public benefaetc w, bp* do the
*+ t ** a j£*'‘ H-W tbou-
authority of law, indorsed the bonds of
certain Railroad
Companies, amounting
in the aggregate to a very large sum.
Being id possession of snch informa
tion, the Legislature deemed it a duty to
take such action aa would wot only guard
t would moat
the Treasury against loss, but
effectually counteract the depressing ef
fect upon the credit of the State, likely
to result from these illegal acts of the
Governor.
The provisions of the act under con
sideration are, in my opionion, the beet
that could have been adopted to remedy
the existing evil. Illegal and fraudulent
acts, such os were believed to exist, oould
bo ascertained only by the most rigid in
vestigation. It was believed, with rea
son, that able and unscrupulous men had
.-v. nn Jj -
ereroised all their ingenuity in oovering
up their frauds, and the most exhaustive
inquiry would be neoessary to expose
them. For the purpose of making this
inquiry effective, the Legislature deter
mined to keep the whole subject under
its own control; end hence the provision
of the set requiring the investigation to
be mode by a committee consisting of
members of the two Houses.
Without considering, separately and at
length, the duties imposed upon the Com
mittee, it will be suffioient to say that no
more power wae given them than was
deemed absolutely neorasary to collect
the information desired by the Legiala-
‘ i bonds were garni
ture. To know which
ine and which were spurious, and what
indorsements had been made without
authority, it wee manifestly necessary
that the history of each bond should be
developed as far as possible.
The feature in the act, however, which
has given rise to most complaint is that
oviah
on requiring all bonds and in
Uorsements issued since g868 to be re
ported to the Committee on or before
the first day of April, 1872. The most
persistent efforts have been mode, both
amounting to prooi-conciusive mat w
have already entered on (he down war
road to dtahestecaod repudiation. It i
difficult to conoeive what motive coni
i this country and in Europe, to show
from this provision of the set that it is
the purpose of the State to repudiate its
debt. It bos been gravely argued that
this provision, which was manifestly in
tended for nothing more than to enable
ns to ascertain theamonnt of our indebt
edness, is oonolnsive evidence of the ex
istence of an intention, on onr pert, to
refuse to pay the whole of onr debt.
We have warrant for believing that
forged bonds of the State are in circula
tion, and also that a large amount of onr
genuine securities are outstanding, of
which we have no registration. Under
these eircumatanoee, wa oall on our credi
tors to do themselves and the State the
service to report the credits held by them,
so that we may obtain a knowledge of
what we honestly owe.
Exception is taken to this, and it
•eema to be considered by some aa
amounting to proof-conclusive that we
i downward
lie
could
induce an opinion eo palpably erroneous,
except the mere mercenary desire to de
preciate our securities in the markets of
the world, for purposes of speculation.
The debtor, who intends never to pay,
Would hardly ooneern himself about hie
indebtedness eo much as to procure, at
great oost of labor and money, a know
ledge oi whet be baa already determined
to repudiate.
A compliance with this provision of
the act, M is sot daaiad, will subject the
creditors of the State to seme inoooveni-
enoe. This is regretted, and by no per
son more than by the members of the
General Assembly who passed the
measure. In their opinion, however,
registration was neeseouylfot the protec
tion of both the State and the bond
holder; and iha manner in wbieh It ta re
quired to be done would produce leas in
jury than if done in any other mode. Our
creditor* may rest assured that thoy will
not b* subjected to loams by a compli
ance with tho provisions of this act, if it
is in the power of the Government to
prevent or repair such losses.
It is due to truth to my, that in the
cauree of s very intimate aerostation,
both official and patron*!, with mambera
of the General Assembly, I have no
reason to suspect even that any one of
sands uiga hh a onward hdd Upward I
How, with tire* Ui lets anxiety, is bis career
watched by friend end fool How genuine
is the sorrow hi* miscarriage* produce!
The grandeur of hie mien and his noble-
nee* of purpose embalm hi* memory,
through ages, in the hearts of all, even
of those, whose selfishness forbids the
smallest moity of indulgence in the
pleasure of doing good for goodness’
sake.
Heroism was deemed worthy of the
Muso st whose shrine old Homer wor
shipped, end by whose inspiration Virgil
sang the praises of the good Maeiu.
The inspired harp of. David never
trilled more ennobling notes, nor sounded
sumblimer symphonies, then when its
theme wae the spirit of the Divinity,
stirring in the heart of fallen man, and
sustaining the energies of the soul, as
piring to rise above the temptations of
the flesh.
The unselfishness of Socrates more
than his philosophy bee rendered him
immortal; and the etory of his heroically
cheerful death touohes the hearts of men
more than his syllogisms or his theories.
The heroic patience of Job distinguishes
the sublimity of a faith that found ex
pression in the midst of poverty and suf
fering, end tho irritating utterances of
unappreciative friends.
It is the meek heroism of Jesus, that
renders the story of the Cross so potent
to oonvict of ein, and to invite men to re
pentance. “Like a lamb before hia
shearers, He was dumb," when reviled
and apat upon; crowned with thorns and
scoffed at. A suffering benefactor of
man, He sank exhausted ss Ho bore His
Cross up the steeps of Cavalry. He
prayed for Hia murderers, saying “they
know not what they da,” and with His
expiring breath Ha meekly cried : “It is
fiuished."
Divest tho story of tho Cross, of the
divinity of the Savior, and of the exem
plifications of moral heroism it details,
and it i* sufficiently grand and touching
to provoke the sincere admiration of
millions who read or hear it.
Hia divinity acknowledged, His exam
ple and precepts have nurtured a civiliza
tion far surpassing that of former ages
of the world.
True Christian heroism is self-deny
ing, unselfish and grand in its very meek
ness. The mythology of antiquity regis
ters no St. Vinoent de Fenl, whose life
was devoted to the work of relieving the
distressed end needy poor; nor s How
ard, who, in hia “ circumnavigation of
charity" visited those who were "sick and
in prison," and tendered the consolations
of religion to their troubled souls, arous
ing the attention of the oivilized world
to the duty and importance of prison re
form.
UnteifUh heroism ought to character
ise the men end women of onr times.
Though every town and neighborhood
may be able to boast of some moral hero
or heroine, who goes about doing good,
not even “ letting tbs left hand know
what the right hand doetb,” yet, selflsh-
is still the besetting sin of mankind;
and the vanity of notoriety in this day of
printing presses is contributing much to
degrade the popular estimate of the
merits of unselfish heroism.
Under e form of government like oure,
la which popular eclat is much of the
in trade of political tricksters, mo
nopolists and corrupt tradere, the lever
age of the press is liable to be purchased
to least into notoriety men destitute of
even some who, though sur
rounded by the elegant trappings that
money eta purchase, are n disgrace to
cirili ration.
Bridanoes of this ai* aesu ia the iilna-
treted papers of the images, (accompa
nied by laudatory biographical sketches,)
of men, who “by hook or by crook” hov*
become rich, and sacriHgiooaly denomi
nating thins, tho “aeU-aede moo of our
Ia many instances referred to, the no
toriety secured is purchased. It i* of tea-
times noticeable that your “self-made
man” of the pioture papers bee selfishly
made a fortune by sharp, if not by cor
rupt, praotiocs, and baa too little charity
to love even hie wife. For example,
Boa* Tweed and Jim Fisk.
Bo disreputable has become the g>set
ting of unworthy, ambitious men who
hare ameerod wealth in thes* days of
shoddy rule, that those who understand
the ways of the rein and unprincipled
look out weekly foe the photographic
image of escaped criminals and swind
lore and sharpen, who hav* been sue
eemfnl under the heeding of “self-made
men of the trines.”
Wealthy men of trne merit shall hav e
a care that their images are not hang up
in disreputable plaoes at among disrepu
■oeiatkma. The making of money
is not always heroic, end it ia not
aarily an evidence of intellectual worth
Nor ia it neeesaarily an evidence of
high morel principle to lavish ill-gotten
gains upon laudable objects, that popu
tar eclat may be secured.
Sometimes it oosta a greater wealth of
brains to set on foot a scheme to benefit
society and interest the pablic in it, and
more of true heroism to brook the oppo
sition of prejudice and ignorance, than
to pass • check for thousands.
The education of the yonnger mem
bers of society, involve a heavy respon
sibility on the part of the press of this
oonntry. While many parties, whose
lives and features have boon gazetted as
indicated above, are worthy of all praise,
and are an honor to tinman nature, tho
extent to which men who have acquired
wealth by questionable means advertise
their faces and biographic*, if onrebuked,
is calculated to impress our youth with
the idea that money acquired by any
means, whether honestly or otherwise,
ought to insure the respect of all.
The ririlization of Christianity de
mands a high appreciation of unselfish
heroism. Its Immaculate Founder “went
about doing good." The legacy He left
was the care of the unfortunate sick, the
poor end the peisecuted. Nearly nine
teen centuries elapsed since be triumphed
over the grave, and still opportunities
are daily offered to the lovers
of their raoe to enjoy the
priceless luxury and blessings that inure
to those, who reasonably devote them
selves to works of oharity and iov*.
This Easter mom is eminently sug
gestive of that Christian heroism, wbieh
we are assured shall finally triumph ever
death and the grave.

To the members of the Georgia Medi
cal Association designing to attend the
annual meeting et Columbus on the 10th
of April, we are requested by the Perma
nent Secretary, Dr. S. H. Stout, to say,
that he has completed arrangements
with the Superintendents of all the
Railroads iu the State to pan them
to and from the meeting at half
fare. Some of the roods a ill
sell full fare tickets going, and pass the
parties book on the certificate of the
Seoretary; others will sell excursion tick
ets to go and return, to be countersigned
by the Secretary or presiding officer of
the Association, to make them good upon
the return of the purchaser. Members
in purchasing tickets most therefore bo
careful to make known to each
Ticket Agent that he proposes
to attend the Convention, and thus pre
vent a misunderstanding, which withont
this precaution may defeat, in some in
stances the interest of tho arrangement.
Newspapers throughout tho State, are
requested to copy.

What Spring Brings With It
Regarded from a medical standpoint, 8prtng is not
the delectable season described by vernal poets. On
the contrary, Its yield of intermittent fevers, bilious'
attacks, rheumatic pains, disorders of the stomach
nervous complaints, and pulmonary diseases, is al
most as larga ss its crop of violets, enow-drope sad
cherry .Woesome. Tbe invisible aeeds of innumera
ble maladies rise with the morning mists, and are
aoattered broadcast by the vapors of ulght. Who eaa
roaiet their mephitic influence? Certainly not the
week by nature, or those whose nervous energies
have been overtasked by mental or physical labor
unless they tme end Invigorate their systems, and
thus enable them to cope with the unhealthy Influ
ences by which they ere surrounded.
Tbe only medicinal agent by which this object sen
be rapidly and safely accomplished, la the greet wage
table rcuovant and iuvlgoraet, Hostetler's Btomach'
Bitters. Tbe operation of this celebrated specific is
fonr-fold. It strengthens tbe (Lgestive organs, re
gulates the secretions, improves the condition of the
blood, superinduces a regular habit of body, and
thereby imparts such vigor aad elasticity to the
whole phyeiael structure sa to render it capable of
resisting the action of the poisonous miasms, with
which the spring atmosphere la always to some ex*
tent Impregnated. Here, then, is a remedy end cer
tain means of escaping the disorders prevalent et
leon, or if they have already Hastened upon
the system, of conquering them speedily and tho
roughly. Tho flavor of a medicine ia not of mueh
coiisrqiienoe, provided It does Its work properly, ‘
of Hostetler's Bitters It may be fairly said, that I
effect a cure without outraging the patient*
