TUESDAY. ....FEBRUARY 8. 1875.
A1SBTTE.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Francis Wes
si Is, known to the readers of the Scndst
Ehqdibsb as “Annette,'' died in this city,
a alranger in a strange land. She came
South with her husband, Col. Weasels,
the business manager of this paper, when
Major Calhoun bbught it. Mrs. Weasels
made many warm friends in Columbus.
A QMaker by birth, and the desoendent of
an old Pennsylvania family, she joined
the Baptist Church, of whioh she has been
a most faithful member, after her mar
riage. She died in the vary prime of
womanhood, and in the full possession of
abilities such us have been granted to
few. But her intellect, though of the
highest, order, was dwarfed when com
pared to the purity of her character, the
amiability of her disposition, and the
broad and deep sympathies of her heart
Unselfish to a fault, she lived to make
others happy,and considered no self-denial
that resulted iu good to the poor, suffer
ing, or distressed. Neither boastful nor
presuming, she looked on all with the eyes
of charity, and at the same time seeing
aloarly her duty, she permitted no con
nideration to nworvo her from the oourse
she deemed right. We who write this
knew her well, for through long years of
success and adversity, of suffering and
success, she has been a true and faithful
sister whose kind words cheered us in
moments of despondency, and whose desr
face brightened at our every uuooeas. She
has passed away; the flrat of that little
band that, from the noblest and pnrest
motives, cast their lot with the Sonth.
Here on a Georgia hill wo will plaoo
her to await the rest who with her
puro life as an example will try
to follow the path she traversed so well,
asking no higher reward than to meet
death as bravely as she did, conscious of
the same reward. It makes all our hearts
tender iu this hour of bereavement to
thiuk bow good und kind tho friends have
been about her. Strangers became her
sisters und brothers, and kindly acts of
hourly occurrence reconciled her to a
grave among those who had won her
hourt, as she had theirs. For Colonel
Wcxsels, the bereaved husband, aud our
selves, wo can nover thank those dear
sympathetic friends loo heartily. Their
goodness reconciles us to many a bitter
shsft, nud stimulates us to merit their
love Would that we ah oould feel as did
she to the woild, death would loso its
sting, and with Annette we would tri
umph over the grave. C.
THE DA NOE OF HEATH.
Everybody remembers tho Rpleudid
scene in Childe Huroldu where is described
the grand ball iu Brussels on the eve of
Wuterloo. Byron was an artist, aud with
his graphic pen he pictures the gaieties be
fore the carnage, when Belgium's capital
had gathered her beauty and her chivalry,
and bright eyes looked love to eyes that
spoke again, iu the salons of the noble
Englishwoman. As only Byron oould,
be describes the al i'in, when the dauoe
stopped and the thuuder of distaut can
non beat hoarsely oil tho ears of the rev-
olers, aud noiso of tho buttlo's opening
roar summoned tho cavaliers to soldiers'
graves. It was art to describe the ball
before the territio strife, (ho night of
which saw rider aud steed, friend and
foe, in one red burial blent, and then
It was true. It would bo artless
and heartless to have renewed the gaieties
at any time after the strifo with the
thought of doing honor to tho dead. If
the monument at Waterloo were raiaed by
the subscriptions of a fancy ball, it would
be an insult to the gallunt men above
whom it was raised, for the dead cannot
be honored by flying feet, gay music,
bright dressing or even harmless flirtation
at so muoh u tioket. Wo are not opposed
to dancing aud balls, though rnauy good
people are, nud many a Southern soldier
would be were ho living. Wo think a ball
for a good purpose a good thing provided
it have a fitness about it. It would hard
ly be in tsste to give a ball to build a
church. It wonld be n grim pieo'e of sa
tire to give a ball to raise fuuda for the
purpose of fencing in a cemetery. In all
seriousness whnt do you thiuk of the pro
priety of u hall, a dance you know, given
at so much a couple, colored musicians
thrown in, for the purpose of raising
funds to build a monument to the
memory of heroes; to the memory of
men who, ragged and starving aud
unpaid? went bravely down to Boldiers'
graves for God nud country. And now,
after teu years, somo good people in Co
lumbus propose jo rouse the patriotism of
the people through the medium of a ball,
aud dance up a monument to honor her
hous.
The deuce after tho battle, will it make
the young feel lighter or tho sweet eyes
brighter to think that every round dance
in this monumental ball is tripped Id
honor of a dead soldier an everyd quad
rille is a brick iu the teuiplo of a patriot's
glory ? Aud it hss come to this,seriously,
that the love our people hears the soldiers
dead must be roused into financial expres
sion through the medium of a bugle, two
fiddles aud a big violin iu a ball room,
with food at so much a meal in an adjoin
ing chamber. We cannot, nay wo will not
believe it, for while balls uro well enough
aud young folks should have their pleas
ure ; iu the name of the gallant dead, the
maimed living, the widows and the or
phans, we raise our voices against what
we deem a sacrilege.
If our good ladies insist on a monu
ment, why let ns raise the money by an
appett to patriotism uud not to sensuous
gratification. But wo appeal to the true
hearts, and all the brave women iu this
cause have (rue hearts, let the monument
tike such a form as to aid the living and
God's blessings will crown your efforts,
and the glorious example you set will be
followed by every city of the South.

The New York Herald of Friday says
that diphtheria is spreading in tha oity
with alarming rapidity. ,
The communication of “8. Q. Bili" is
inadmissible, under our rule, because not
accompanied by the name of the writer.
But the author will see, by an announce
ment made eh ewhere, that there is no
longer any oocasion for its publication.
A meeting of the friends of ex-Presi
dent Johuson was held in Atlanta on Sat
urday, to congratulate him on his election
as United States Senator, and to visit At
lanta. The first resolutions reported did
not give entire satisfaction, as they en
dorsed acta which come present declared
they oould not approve, inatanoing bis
failura to pardon Mrs. Surratt. In the
dabaje, Col. D. P. Hill, who made this
dbjeotion, said:
Later his course was such that ho
oould heartily endorse. He bad showed
in many instance* that he sympathized
deeply with the condition of the South.
He further said when he was coimnis-
sioned to go to Washington, in behalf of
the Columbus prisoners, he met Andy John
son personally aud told him of the man
ner in which those prisoners were treated,
detailing how they were put in sweat
boxes, etc., and Johnson sprung from his
sest and said in un exoited manner, “I
will send a man and have them released
immediately." Which he did. When I
asked him why he had not convened the
Legislature sooner, he replied, “If I had
there would have been a wholesale hang
ing in the South, so I waited until the
excitement died away.” He went ao far
aa to oause the United States Senate to
attempt to impeaob him for his sympathy
for the Sooth.
Finally the meeting compromised upon
tho following resolutions, with one in
viting Mr. Johnson to speak in Atlanta:
Resolved, That the friends or Hon.
Andrew Johnson heartily approva of bis
late election to a aoat in the United States
Senate, and rogard this aot of the Tennes
see Legislature as a just tribute to bis
ability, integrity and patriotism, and aa
an omen of great good to the whole coun
try.
Itoaoi ved, That the principles announced
in hia lute speech at Nashville,are the prin
ciples of the constitution and essential to
all good government, and that in their ad
vocacy and defense we pledge him our
constant and eordial support.

e. e suggeated, the other day, that one
or two Republicans must have voted for
the resolutions adopted by the Senate of
Alabama, condemning Gen. Grant’s in
terference with the Legislature of Louisi
ana. We now sea it slate 1 that Mr. Harris
of Russell, voted for them, and that he
was tbo only Republican who supported
them.
Kino Kalxkaua la reported as having
said in Eria, N. Y., in answer to tha ques
tion how he liked the Atnerioan women
“I think they are handsome, bold end
forward; why I actually received severs
letters from ladies in New York, Wash
ington and Boaton, plainly proposing
marriage. I am a baobelor; but when I
want to marry a woman I will ask her. I
do not like to have women propose. It
is, in my opinion, wrong."
There la talk of the Tilton-Beecher
trial lasting till May! Predictions are
made that the trial never will reach a
conclusion in the courts. One writer
gives it as his opinion that some tragedy,
involving the lifc^f one of the parties
immediately interested, will brin<s it ab
ruptly to a close. He docs not make a
distinct suggestion ns to how this will oo-
our, but be says that Mr. Beecher has ex
hibited indications df an apoplectic char
acter when excited during tho trial—
enough so to alarm his physician—ur.d
that the accumulated excitement of a
long trial may prove too great fer his sys
tem to bear.
It teems that the cholera la raging at
Santa Teresa, Mexico. According to The
Brownsville Sentinel, from eight to
dozen persons a day are dying from a dis
ease resembling cluster* morbus. Santa
Teresa it only a short distance from Mata-
more*, and coustant communication is
kept up between the two pleoes. 'The
Sentinel says that if the disease should
make its appearance in Matamoros, it
would not be long before the people of
Brownsville would have it among them.
A Crop Elea taw.
Editor Enquirer-Sun: — We notioe
there are labored efforts beiug made by
certain parties, and petitions being oir-
culated for signature, addressed to tbe
Legislatnre of onr State for the purpose
of having rc-enaotcd a special crop lien
law ; which petition is being signed by
many without proper thought or consid
eration, as is often tbe case in tbe
making np of petitions.
We are folly satisfied from observation
and practical experience, that such law
has operated greatly to tbe detriment of
tbe country, its effect lias been to de
stroy proper prndence and discretion in
the extension of credits, aud has generat
ed a spirit of speculation on the pait both
of merchant and planter, which has well
nigh ruined our country.
We would tike, sir, to bear thia matter
properly discussed, by parties at interest,
aud trust that ihe press will take it in hand,
and that tbe oouutry may be aroused to
the great injuries resulting from speuial
aud sumptuary legislation.
We trust that the Board of Trade of
thia city, whioh meets on Wednesday
evening, will consider this question, and
send up at ouoe a strong and proper peti
tion to tbe Legislature.
Very truly,

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 27, 1875.
To the Surviving Soldier* and Sailor* of
the Confederate State* Army and Navy,
ferident in Georgia :
On the 20th of January, 1875, there
met in Atlanta a l&rge and enthusiastic
convention, composed of soldiers und
sailors of the army and navy of tha Con
federate States, resident in Georgia. This
convention inaugurated an association, to
be called the “Survivors’ Association of
Confederate Soldiers and Sailers, for tho
Stats of Georgia.”
Tbe objects of this association are to La
three fold—social, historical, aud benevo
lent.
The only qualifications necessary to
constitute a man a member are: That he
shall have served with fidelity in the army
or navy of tbe Confederate States, and
shall be, at the time of signing the roll, a
bona fide citizen of tho State of Georgia,
no matter in what State he may have en
listed, or with what command he served ;
aud who thall pay, upon signing the roll,
tbe sutn nf twenty-five cents into the com
mon fund of the association.
The constitution provides that ex-Con-
f©derate soldiers and sailors may form
sun-associations in each eouaty, which
will be auxiliary, and report to the State
organization.
Tbs Association elected, as its Presi
dent, General Josopb E. Johnston ; Gen
eral A. B. Lawton, Senior Vice President;
a Vice President from eaoh brigade, ami
three Vice Presidents from Ine navy ;
Captain T. L. Massenburg, Treasurer,
and Colonel John Milledgc, Secretary.
Also an Executive Committee, consisting
of Colonel Thomas Hardeman, Colonel
Jumes D. Waddell, Colonel L. J. Glenn,
Lieutenant-Colonel C. 0. Ktbbee, and
Lieutenant-Colonel H. D. Capers. These
officers accepted the offioee to which they
were elected, and entered upon the dis
charge of their duties.
It is made my duty, as Secretary, by
Thebe is a quarrel between Engine firs
companies in New Orleans aud the Bab
cock Fire Extinguisher Company, and the
oity authorities side with the former. The
use of the Babcock apparatus has been
forbidden, for what reason we cannot
state with certainly. A fire occurred on
Friday morning lost, on Bertrand street,
between Common and Gravier, which
destroyed twenty thousand dollars worth
of property. The Baboook Fire Extin
guishing Company turned out to assist in
subduing the flames, and the polioe cap
tured their engine and seven members of
tbe company end took them to the sta
tion.
Major Merrill, who went down to New
Otleans to testify against the white people
of Shreveport and Caddo parish, is re
ported to have told Kellogg, on Friday,
that it would not do to turn out the duly
elected officers of Caddo, as Kellogg con
templated doing, because “it would raise
bell np there,” and bis troops oould not
be spared (probably he meant that his
superiors would not venture to use troops
again ) Kellogg must ba in a dilemma
now. He enunot turn out the people’s
officers in Caddo without tho help of the
Federal military; aud if he reoognizes
them, that will bo a virtual acknowledge
ment that the Representatives obosen on
the same ticket with them, whom tbe
Federal soldiery took out of tho legisla
tive chamber, wore also duly eieotod.
We regret to see that the Legislature
baa not only rejected Ex-Comptroller
Geueral Thweatt’s claim for pay for bis
lest year's salary bnt has refused to afford
him an opportunity to test the legality
and equity of his claim iu a court. Col.
Thweutt had strengthened his claim by
procuring the opinions of a number of
eminent men of tbo State that it wai just
aud ought to be paid. Among these were
Hod. ltobt. Toombs, Hon. A. H. Ste
phens, Hon. H. V. Johuson, Hon. II. H.
Clarke, Hon. E. II. Worrill, and other
good lawyers of Georgia, also lion. John
A. Campbell of Now Orleans. Tbe ouly
rstson assigned for its non-payment is
that it would open the way to other claims
of a similar churaoter. Without admit
ting this to bo a sufficient reason, we
wonld ask, is there no way of recompens
ing Col. Thweatt in suoh a manner as not
to make bis case a precedent for the pay
ment of claims not so strong as his ?
The manner of tho Republican break
down of the two days’ contest in tbe
House of Representatives, which ended
on Friday morning lost, was this -. At 25
minutes after 10 o’olook, iu the absenos
of Gen. Butler, who bad been the Radical
leader, Mr. Ward, of Illinois, moved an
adjournment. lie was followed by nine
teen Republicans, whioh, added to the
Democratic vote, oarried the motion. Tbe
namos of tho Republican are as follows:
Ward, of Illinois; Ward of New
York; Burleigh, Bradley, Clements,
Hale, of Maine; Hawley, of Conneeticnt;
Hnbbell, Hnlburt, Willard, of Michigan;
Lowndes, Moore, Sener, Small, Smith, of
Ohio; Smith, of Virginia; Strawbridge,
Thompson and Tynsr. As most,of these
uineteen Republicans are known to he
opposed to extreme measures which their
party propose to oarry out at this session,
their counc in continued contests of this
character will be noted with interest.

their first meeting, held in Atlanta on the
22d da; of January, General Lawton pre
luding, to Uuue thin address, requesting
that, iu each county of this State, the ex-
Confederate soldiers end sailors will call a
meeting, end have enrolled all who desire
to become members of this Association,
and have these rolls, with the money col
lected on them, forwarded to me, by ex
press, at Atlanta, on or before the firet
day of June next: in order that these
rolls may be vei iflfid, the money deposited
with the Treasurer, aud a consolidated
rod made up by the next meeting of the
Association, in Maoon, in October next.
These rolls must show the name, rank,
time, place, and command at time of en
tering the service, date, comaiaud and
rank at time of leaving the service; and
in order that these may be uniformly
made out, I will furnish during the next
fourteen days, to each ordinary in the
State, a blank form, with the neoessary
instructions printed therein ; and tbe or
dinary will hold them subject to the order
of any representative meeting of those to
whom this address is directed.
Wherever county sub-associations are
formed, such associations will superintend
the getting up of these rolls and money,
through their proper officers, and have
tbe same forwarded to me as herein di
rected. And when suoh associations are
formed, the secretary of each oasooiation
will officially report its organization to
this office, and if possible send a printed
copy of the proceedings of the meeting
which formed the association to be kept
on file. And if there should ba any coun
ty in the State where suoh an organizc-
tion is not formed, then gome reliable
and cnergetio ex-Confedernte soldier or
Bailor nhould be solected by any meeting
of Boldiers snd sailors ealled for that pur
pose to perform Ibis du'y.
And now, comrades, is it necessary that
yon be urged to take hold of this good
work with zeal ? Some of you may attach
nu importance to the social feature of
our nssuciation. Of its historical features
somo may say, let the dead past bury its

is tho prominent object of this associa
tion, imposes upon you a solemn duty.
There were true and noble men who fell
