STATE MISTER.
It will bo seen by reference to the pro
ceedings of tlieLegislatme, of yesterday,
that Mr. J. H. Estill, proprietor of the Sa
vannah News, was elected State Printer.
The contest was between bim and Mr.
W. A. Hemphill, of the Atlanta Constitu
tion, present incumbent.
Wo are glad to be able to say that we
believe Mr. H.mpbill has discharged the
duties of his office with great fidelity.
His work, so far as wo have seen it, has
been well and faithfully executed—for
the Constitution is c:rtaia.y fully pre
pared to do the State printing well.
Mr. Estill, the new State Printer, is as
fully competent and as well prepared to
discharge the effi -e of State Printer as
any man in the State, or even the South
A practical printer, a tine business man,
find a gentleman iu every respect, we
guarantee that the duties of the office
will be well and faithfully performed.
It is a matter of no rejoicing that the
one was defeated or the other triumphant
iu this contest between Mr. Hemphill
and Mr. Estill. It is natural, and it is
dou' tless right, that rotation in office is
proper enough iu a free government like
ours. The vote received by both gen
tlemen is complimentary to each. We
congratulate the one upon the faitnful
discharge of his duties while holding the
office of State Printer, and the other
upon receiving the confidence of the
Legislature.

CORRESPONDENCE.
At tho request of a friend of Judge
Hook, we chterfuliy republish the fol
lowing correspondence, taken from tho
Angnsta Constitutionalists, of the 7th:
Augusta, Georgia, January 1, 1373.
Dear Sib: The death of Gon. A. R.
Wright, the member elect to the United
States Congress from this (the 8th) Dis
trict of Georgia, creates a vacancy that
must be filled by an election. The un
dersigned, having a high appreciation
of jour ability and an • dmiration for
you as a citizen, every way worthy to fill
the distinguished position with honor to
yourself aud fidelity to tho interests of
the people, hope you will allow your
yme to D6 announced as a candidate,
and consent to serve if elected.
We trust you will give us a favorable
reply, and also communicate to us your
views on the political situation that we
may make them public.
Yours, very truly,
H. F. Russell,
B S. Dunbar,
Wm. S. Roberts,
Jas. B. Walker,
H. H. Hickman.
To Hon. Jas. S. Hook.
The well being of the country demands
that there should be more peiscnal con
fidence and trust, and less partizan pas
sion and prejudice in our politics—both
State and national. Let ns cultivate the
former and eschew the latter.
But I am extending this reply to too
great a length. You ask that I allow
myself to be announced as a candidate
for Congress in this District. It is my
judgment that every citizen is bound
to s-r®e whenever the people^ de
mand his services, and when it is possible
for him to do so.
If, therefore, you conclude to publish
this correspondence, and place me be
fore the district as a candidate, and the
people elect me, I promise to serve them
to the best of my ability, and with an
honest purpose to do my duty to my
noble old State, the glorious South and
the whole country.
Very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, Jas. S. Hook.
To Messrs. Henry F. Russell, B. F.
Dunbar, Wm. S. Roberts, James B.
Walker ami H. H. Hickman.

Killing am Arkaaiaa Militia Captain
It is reported that Captain Sam Sharp
was killed in Sharp county several days
ago. The particulars, as we heard them,
are about as follows:
Sharp had a quarrel with a man, whose
name we not recollect—a former partner
in business—acd threatened to kill him.
Tbe next day he went to the man's house
and commenced shooting his dogs in the
yard. The man came to the door and
remonstrated, when Sharp commenced
firing at him. The man retreated into
the honse, got his shot-gun, and fired
both loads into Sharp, lulling him in
stantly.—BaiesviUe Times.

Augusta, January ?, 1373.
Gentleman: I am just in receipt of
your letter, in which yon call mj atten
tion to the vacancy created iu tin- Con
gressional District by the melancholy
death of General Wright; aid in
which, after s^me compiinieTitan illu
sions to myself, you proceed to ex
press tne “hope tuat yon (I) wdl al
low your (my) name to be announced as
a candidate, and cor. sent to serve if
elected.” You further say : “We trust
you will give ns a favorable reply, and
also communicate to us your views on
the political situation, that we may make
them public.”
Permit me to say, gentlemen, that I
am profoundly impressed by this most
unexpected compliment, so gvtatly en
hanced in value by the high character
and position of those who have bestowed
it. It is ro ordinary compliment thus to
be designated for Congress. But I re
gard it as especially complimentary to be
named by you for Representative of this
old District, which has been made fa
mous in the annals of the country by the
splendid genius, learning, eloquence and
matchless ability of a Toombs and a Ste
phens—two of the country’s greatest
names.
It is known to you that I was on earn
est supporter of the late Baltimore-Cin-
cinnati movement. It looked, as I
thonght than, aud still think, in the
direction of a restoration of good feeling
between the sections so lately antago
nized. This I have ever regarded from
tbe date of the surrenuer as tlie true pol
icy'of both North and South, demanded
alike by considerations of prod uce and
the yet higher dictates of patriotism,
right, reason, aud Christianity. JJut to
the South more particularly it seemed to
be the only policy having tho semblance
of wisdom about i*. Wo needed re
pose. We wanted exemption from sfriie
and political excitement, that wo might
renew our strength, rebuild our waste
places and'adjust ourselves and our shat
tered fortunes lo our new surroundings.
These are stilt our needs and our wants.
The policy of the joint action of Cincin
nati and Baltimore seemed to be design
ed to meet and provide for these necessi
ties of ours, and to re.-.tore harmony and
give to the South exemption from fur
ther political wrong, with ample scope
and increased meaus for Lite develop
ment of all her vast resources oi wealth
and power, and to leave those who
should still persist in oppressing her, to
reap a bitter harvest of public contempt,
when tbe sober second thought oi the
people should come.
In this view I liked and trash a that
movemen*, and still look to it lor futuie
benticial results. Truth and correct prin
ciples Have within themselves the ele
ments of self assertion and deathless
vitality. However ignored and over
slaughed for a time, they must triumph
in the end, and they w o figlit against
them will bs overthrown.
From my stand point the Greeley
movement was not a failure. It is true
Mr, Greeley was defeated, and soon sunk
into the grave amid the dark shadows of
domestic grief and disappointment of ! is
patriotic Hopes. But the spirit of the
great movement, of which he was the ac
knowledged head, still lives. It was the
first grand impulse of the coining sober
second thought that is yet to have its
full fruition in the redemption of the
people from unjust bondage, and the
Constitutional Chart of our freedom from
sacrilegious intermeddling.
I do not belong to that class who des
pair of the Republic 1 While the tenden
cy ot Congressional action since the war,
in regard to the Southern States has been
to centralize and consolidate power in
the National Government, and the recent
action of the Administration at Washing
ton, in regard to Louisiana, locks strong
ly in the same directi id, yet I have suca
an abiding faith in the recuperative
energy and victorious power of truth and
sound principles—such strong confidence
in the attachment of our whole people to
the republican idea and system of gov
ernment as inculcated by Washington,
Jefferson, Madison and Jackson, that I j
cannotbriug myself to the conclusion!
that we shall ever see s thvon« in this I
land of
‘•The star spangled ban-ier.”
He who would rear one, would have it
torn down by a grand upheaval of popu
lar indignation, and himself buried in
eternal infamy beneath it. The R put lie
will survive all its foes and even its pre
tended or misguided friends. Yet, that
it may surely do tm% the constant, un
tiring vigilance of the people is the price
to be paid. Never in the history of tbe
country has there been a greater demand
for watchfnlness on the part of all good
and true citizens, than at this paiticular
juncture. The crisis through which our
government is now passing is one of
tremendous moment and imminent
peril to the institutions which were vouch
safed us by the 6weat and blood
of our revolutionary siren He who has
the duty devolved upon him at this junc
ture of steering the ship of State safely
through the troubled waters, has need of
all the moral support which a generous
constituency can afford him. President
Grant’s position is one of peculiar embar
rassment and ^difficulty. Let us not judge
him either hastily or harshly. Let us
rather trust that the memory of the flag
under which be fought and won his fame,
will keep alive in his mind and heart, the
great principles of free, confederated rep
resentative Government which that flag
vi-a di signed to rymbolize.

What They Have To Come To.
BY RELIABLE YOUNG.
First. Just married; destined to linger in clover
new-mown hay, and such herbage, from nine to
twelve months. Then—
Second. Some black, rascally, stormy night yon
are turned out into streets and ponds, and mill-
races, or amid snow eighteen inches deep, and
driiting like blazes, and told to run for the doctor.
When yon get home again, eight chances to ten a
little red-flannel looking thing, about the size of a
big merino potato, awaits you. They will call it a
baby; and packed np with it you will And the first
real squalls of married life—you can bet on that. '
Third. Paregoric, and soothing syrup, and cat
nip-tea, and long flannel, and diaper-stuff, and baby
colic—they will come along too; in fact, they will
become just as much at home in the house as din
ners. Then—
Fourth. One of these nights, in
“Tue wee sma’ hours ayont tho twal',”
you will turn out again. Barefoot, an icy, disconso
late sense of dampness all about you, only a'cotton
shirt or such a matter between you and tbe dis
tressed openness of a cane-seat chair, you will dis
tractedly rock that baby back and forth, and bob it
up anil down, singing, meanwhile, with a voice like
a wild ox in a slaughter-yard'.
‘‘This thing is playing out, Mary,”
‘‘Rock o' bye, baby, on a tree-top.”
or seme such melody. And all the time that baby
jells. Oh, doesn’t he yell? while Mary Ann, up to
her nose under the warm bed-covers, to he'p out,
every now and then impatiently puts in, just at the
wrong place, ‘‘Why don't you trot him faster, Sam
uel?”
And you trot him—oh, how you do trot him! If
you could only trot his wind out so far that he never
could get any of it back again, or break his back, oj
neck, or something, you would be immeasurably
happy. But no. The little innocent seems tougher
than an India-rubber car spriDg.
Just as you are about giving up, concluding that
you must freeze, that there wiH certainly have to be
u funeral in the houso inside of thirty-six hours,
baby wilts from sheer exhaustion, and then with
teeth chattering like a McCormick reaper,you crawl
in by Mary Aun aud try to sleep again.
Fifth. Gradually you glide away into a tangled
maze of ice, camomile, more ice, skating weather,
steam-whistled-voiced babies, jockey club, sleigh
ridos, crinoline immense as the old bell at Moscow,
Indian ambuscades, snow-storms, and forty other
equally cheerful things, suddenly—
Sixth. A snort, a thrash, a wild throwing up
ward of little aims and legs, and then, keen aud
shriil, comes that terrible “ ah-waak! ah-w-a-a-h!"
again. I guess you wake up, don't you ?
. "Got the paregoric and a teaspoon,quick! "says Mary
Anu, in a sharp, staccato tone, and don’t you get it?
In just three-eighths of a second you are a Grecian
bend out on the cold floor dropping paregoric in a
teaspoon.
Hurry! Gracious little Peter describing diabolic
curves with ail the arms and legs he’s got, and
screaming one hundred pounds to the square inch,
aud Mary Anu rearing around there in the bed,
making a rocking-chair of her baci, and yelling,
“By, by O,” like a wild Comanche on the war
path. Oh, no; circumstances are not such as to
niHke you hurry any.
Aud then to think that as days and perhaps' years
roll on, there has got to be moro an’ more yet of
just such distressed work.
iMNice, isn't t?

desperately in love with a beautiful girl. The fair

her young heart. Time flew on angels’ wings, and
the lovtrs existed only each other's dreams. The
“billiDg and cooing,” and all the little tokens of
affection which come into action daring ibis delect
able season of life, were indulged in to an unlim
ited extent. But alaB! slight bints—at first of
coolness and indifference—were mutually thrown

Two weeks after this letter was received, the

MEMORIAL BALL FOR WATERLOO.
Many years since, when the deceased
Emperor of France was simply—as then
called—a London flaneur, he was a spe
cial favorite of the old Duke of Welling
ton. This honor he shared with the
Count d’Orsay. Owing to the debts of
the latter, however, it was seldom that he
conld pass out of the doors of Gore
House except on Sundays, when tlie
English debtors are free from the chance
of arrest. Occasionally, also, a similar
risk secluded Lonis Napoleon from pub
lic observation during the week. Id
consequence with this local interference
of their social relations, the Sabbath
was the only day upon which the Em
peror and d’Orsiiy could regularly appear
at Apsley House, tho London residence
of the lion Duke.
It was therefore on this day they ordi
narily found themselves with him and
Colonel Gurwood, his secretary, who
subsequen tly committed suicide, taking
th“ir shate in a friendly game of whist.
This gave rise at the time of a biting
jest at tbe expense of their host, whose
sparing if not parsimonious habits were
well known. It was said that he had
undertaken to pay the debts for which
either of them might be arrested who
chanced to overstay the hour of midnight
and expose him to the Monday grasp of
the law.
It was during this period of his inti
macy with the Iron Duke that the Prince
Louis expressed a wish to the Duke to be
present at the banquet given invariably
at Apsley House on the date of the bat
tle ol Waterloo, to which Wellington was
accustomed to invite the surviving gen
erals and other loading officers who had
fought under him.
“Bad taste! Dad taste! Prince Lonis—
to be present at the celebration of your
uncle’s overthrow. Don’t you think
it is ?”
“Your Grace, 1 wish to be nresect.”
“Very well, then,’’said the Duke, “you
shall be.”
It is stated that on this occasion Louis
Napoleon arrived late, and on his enter
ing the dining-room every officer at the
table rose to receive him. As interview
ing and reporting at that day h id not
reached the exactitude of these later
days this part of tbe account is not sus
ceptible of verification. Neither has any
audacious son of the quid been able to
expla.n what were the reasons which in
duced the ex-Emperor to make such a
singular request as he undoubtedly did.
THE BOULOUGNE EAGLE.
At the time when lie was organizing
his theatrical descent upon Boulougne,
and succeeded in being incontinently
gobbled up by the French soldiers, his
intentions were pretty generally known
and discussed in the English metropolis.
This could not have been the result of
his own indiscretion. It innst have
arisen from babbling fellow-conspirators.
At all events, ] and another friend,
each of us well acquainted with Mrs.
Howard, had known of it for some time.
K and myself were dining together
some three or foui clays previous to his
starting, when K saitl:
“I suppose you’ve heard it’s all settled,
my boy. Louis Nap will bo off before
the week’s out.”
“Are you certain?”
“Positive. Do you know I’ve half a
mind to go with bim?”
Singularly enough, I also, with the
natural love of adventure youth has, had
suflered my thoughts to flow in the same
direction. “Fillibustering” for empire
had some flavor of romance in it. Re
sides, each of us had some acquaintance
with the nephew of his uncle. I had
met Prince Louis three or four times at
Lady Blessington’s, and K , who was
more intimate with Mrs. Howard than I
was, had repeatedly been in his company
under her roof. And then a great name,
even with a little man, is with the young
always ail attraction.
Consequently after dinner we repaired
to my chambers in the Temple and dis
cussed the question seriously enough.—
Had he been able to commence opera
tions with larger means wo should un
doubtedly Have joined bim. But tbe
eagle we afterwards heard be carried over
was no more available for seizing an
empire than the “corporal’s guard” that
accompanied him. He, however, believ
ed in tne love of Fiance for bis name.—
He had received letters—written pledges
from leading officers in the service of
Louis Philippe. Would these pledges
be kept ? Could they control their men?
Would regiments join him?
We argued the matter over and over
until long past midnight without arriving
at any decision.
Then K cried out: “Look here, I
am weary of talking about it; let us leave
the matter to fate.”
“How?”
“Wo’il toss up for it.”
“What do you mean?”
“Head, we go with Louis Nap; tail,
we leave him severely alone.”
Saying this he rook a half sovereign
from bis waistcoat pocket, spun it from
his thumb-nail towards the ceiling, and
then watched it as it rolled along the
table.
It came up tail!
Tbe consequence was that we remain
ed, and were glad enough we had done
s", when, in less thin a week, we heard
how iDglorionsly tne “filibustering” ex
pedite n had terminated—for a time
only. It then seemed that the distance
from I 1 am to the throne of France must
be impassable. Yet Louis Napoleon
crossed it. From that throne tc Chisle-
Lurst appeared yet longer and more dis
tant He managed to pass it in even
shorter time.
Verily a marvelous man.
ONE OF NAFOLEON’s LOVES.
Possibly it may be forgotten now that
an American lady had, prior to the pres
ent ex-Empress of France, the chance
of sharing the strangely varied fortunes
of the third Napoleon. Thia was Miss
Sophia Bates, the daughter of Joshna
Bates, a partner in the Urm of the Bar
ings.
Her father then lived on Mnswe'l Hill,
and the attentions of the Prince to her
were most pronounced and unmistakable.
However, after a time she unequivocally
refused him. This may have been prob
ably induced by his want of means, al
though it is far more likely to have been
caused by his openly known connection
with Mrs. Howard.
WELLINGTON THUMPS THE PRUS81 AN MIN
ISTER.
There was a carious sneer current
about the same period in London, pro-
fessirg to aoei unt foi the somewhat sin
gular cont oversy between theaTHl—
It was probably based on the 1«y ^ 0nteD *
of Queen Hortense -the moth er of°T^
and tho size of her sdh’.-;
very certainly approximated in ’ Whicl >

but on many occasions disoWn.. >

One of the?e gave at the period

talk, and will be worth recS n ^
when that second actor in the in ?° w
has followed the first in quittX? 4
stage of the world on which both 19
had filled such leading parts dthonS^
separate times.
It so happened that Prince Loni,»
present at a ball in tne Mansion “ Was
Such balls generally or invariably {..S 88,

Ou these occasions not only the citvm° r ‘
nates are present bnt the Cabinet W**

of tbe leading politicians. An ap(w J

Napoleon accompanied this gentle™ i
The latter was on the point of address!^
Bunsen, when, from some cause— 8
bly political—the Baron, seeing ht
French companion, turned his back niZ
tbe two. It was a most unmistakahU
for the Englishman. 6 6,11
Wellington had noticed this.
Shortly afterwarus, when the Pri DC6
was standing alone, he advanced towards
him, took his arm, aud leisurely strolled
—it was impossible to stroll other than
leisurely through such a dense crowd as
commonly thronged these balls—i a the
direction of the Prussi id Ambassador
When he at last reached him, to the
intense surprise, ana possibly no snail
gratification, of his companion, he came
to a dead stop and addressed Bunsen.
What could the latter do? FrompolW
and courtesy, one or both, he left hi a .
self unable to turn his back upon tbo
Iron Duke, wiio resolutely entered into
conversation w th him. However, he
did not suffer a muscle of his counte
nance to betray any consciousness of the
unwelcome presence of the third party.
Nor did the immobile lines of the Duke’s
face testify to the fact of his being aware
of the previous conduct of the Ambassa
dor. As for Louis Napoleon, he looked
on passively, sphinx-like. It must have-
been very uncomfortable for Bunsen
who could not, without positive rudeness!
terminate the conversation which Wel
lington commenced, and which he pro*
longu'd for some ten minutes.
At iast ne seemed to recollect himself,
and said abruptly:
“Probably, Monsieur le Baron, you
have not yet been made acquainted with
my young French friend. You must al
low mo to preseut him to you.”
Then, in his formally curt manner, he
introduced the Prince to the Ambassa
dor. The latter was necessarily forced
to make a stately bow to the former and
interchange a iew words with him. After
this the two passed o:i together.
For once in his life the stony eye of
Louis Napoleon fairly glittered with
suppressed merriment, iu spite of the
scene around him. Yet the friend to
whom he subsequently mentioned this,
and from whom I heard it, when he gave
me the facts, informed me that the
Prince said, the Duke never even alluded
to his haviug had any special purpose in
penetrating such an unwelcome intro
duction.
“Then had ho auv?'’ was his natural
interrogatory.
“Oh, yes,” replied Louis. “When we
leit Bunsen, that cast-steel nose of his
twitched. I never saw it display a symp
tom oi mental vitality on any other oc
casion.

A Wife of Two Months Found In »®
Assignation House.
From tho St. Louis Timas.
There was a pitiable attempt at recon
ciliation between husband and wife, last
evening, in Captain Huebler’s office at
tbe Four Courts. Nathan Barlow, an
attache of Sumner’s sowmg machine
agency, besought the aid of the police in-
finding his wife of two months,
who bad oeen missing since Sat
urday. They fou»d her in an afr
signation house near the corner of Ninth
and Olive streets, arid poor Nathan, with
a spirit of forgiveness inexplicable under
tbe circumstances, went down on his
knees to get tbe w lyward beauty to go to
the home of her father in Edwardsville,
Illinois; or to their own home on Grand
avenue. Tears and sobs had little effect,
and the young man, having extracted a
promise of a meeting at the Western
house this afternoon, went away in deep
sorrow. The girl waited ten or fifteen
minutes and then, bidding the sergeant
a cheery good-night, went out on the
street with a jaunty self-possessed air.
There must have been some kind of
spirits in the atmosphere yesterday operating on tho
horse. It may have been their proximity to th*
spirits in the bar-roomB that caused the gyration*-
