ADDRESS OF COL. J. D. MATHEWS,

■ To the Democratic Party of-One Eighth
Congressional District: Fellow-Citizens :
Tne death of Gen. A.' R. Wright, htt-ely"
elected to represent the Eighth District
in Congress, occurring so unexpectedly;'
so untimely, saddened your hetsrta, and
touched with sorrow for the dead, and
with sympathy for the bereaved, the soul
of every true Georgian. If by a volun
tary sacrifice of whutever prospertsHif
Congressional honors that may be be
fore me in the future-tlyB gr6at un

would say, return brave soldier,apatriot
to thy scat in Congiess. to thy country,
to the dear oa« ones at home. But death
is final. Man. dies and returns Refer
more; but tin- memory of the virtues of
tne patriotic and gallant dead are stronger
than the grave, and survives to encourage
and Improve the hearts of the living.
The patriotic deads and noble qualities
ef Gen. Wright hare passed intw Instory,
and belong to bis country. ' ,j ,
The vacancy thus caused iu yonr rep
resentation in Congress must be filled by 1
an election of a successor to the lamented
dead.
lielding 10 what seemed fo me, from
the representations of friends, to be a
general sentiment of the people of the
8ih district, favorable to oiy nomination
as a candidate to fill the vacancy, I
consented for my name to go betore
the District Convention, which, it
was then contemplated, would be
called to moke a nomination.
Many of you have talked and written to
me, fully expressing in generous and en
couraging terms tnis sentiment. For
this favorable consideration of one so
humble as myself, I return the profound
acknowledgments of a grateful heart. I
shall cherish with just pride tne memory
of tLe confidence you have manifested in
me iu the past, and shall endeavor to do
no act to forfeit it in the future.
But there stands one in your midst,
long retired, until lately, from the activi
ties of political life, whose returning
health gives him back to hi3 country.

Sitiiout -entering into an argument
upon the subject Of /taxation—a snoject
which has puzzled and baffled the closest
aud most successful students Of political

gest as a glaring inequality and injustice
the tux laidupon ihe fools of trade of
the printer, wh'le tfioSe df tfie black
smith, the carpenter and other artisans
are exempted from the burden.
To us it looks like class legislation—
the most dangerous legislation that can
b * indulged in by those eelected to equal
ize the publie burdens tod to devise ways
and means to promote the public intelli
gence, welfare and prosperity.
Your memorialists would further sub
mit tliat those upon-whom it is proposed
to lay this tax are little able to bear tbe
burden. It Would bfe a reflection upon
your honorable bodies to hint that yon
were in ignoranoe of this fact that tbe
newspaper business has never been and is
not now a profitable one in the South.
With a country somewhat sparely settled,
with defective mad facilities and all the
legitimate expenses which attend publi
cation elsewhere, it has been impossible
for journalists and publishers to amass
those fortunes, which have in some in
stances followed the business in portions
of the North tod West. Here they have
been compelled te undergo severe and
constant labor, to receive but meagre
thanks, and a living which embraces only
the necessaries of life.
• Men whG have contributed much to
mould the’.destinies of the oountry
throughout a life tune have found them
selves in thoir old age with ribthing to
show for Lie labor expended. These
facts must be familiar to your honorable
bodies. -■
Your memorialists would further show
that the allegation, to the effect that tbe
press of the State bad made a compro
mise during the sitting of the last Leg
islature, whereby it. was agreed that it
the taxes accumulated from the estab
lishment of military government up to
that period were wiped out that the.preps
would in future agree to taxation, is not
true in fact.
It may be that some such proposition
was made, bnt yonr memorialists would
respectfully sUbmit that the Press Associ
ation of the State, neither/in its collective
or individual oapacity, was a party to the
transaction, but was at the tbe time re
ferred to and is, still opposed to any such
compromise. *=■-' 1 1 \‘ ‘
Your memorialists would father Sub
mit that in view- of the many and varions
public benefits derived from the printing
and publication of newspapers, in consid
eration that they are esteemed the most
powerful promoters of intelligence, vir
tue and happiness among the people, it
would jfoem that a wi«e policy would sug
gest that iu place of hampering these
able and active agencies every encourage
meat should be extended to them.
Yonr paemorialists Wonid show that
they have made diligent inquiry as to
the course pursued by other countries
oqd States upon the subject of the taxa
tion of the press. In reply to letters ad
dressed to leading gentlemen of New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and other
Northern and Western States, by a mem
ber of the Press Association, the infer
mation was furnished that the same sys
tem prevailed in those States
which, was established in Georgia
pievious to the overthrow of its
State Government. Since 1855 England
has laid no stamp duty on her newspa
pers, and Russia, whose Government is
always represented to be one of absolute
despotism, goes bo far as to offer a sub
sidy to her press.
Your memorialists would further sub
mit that the ancient alignment “ King,
Commons, Clergy and Press” has been
changed by popular consent, and that
the Press no longer submits to the pre
cedence of any profession in the mat
ters of dignity, honor and extended use
fulness. Believing that if this matter
might be submitted to the readers of the
varions journals now published within
the limits of Georgia it would be decided
in favor of the Press.
Your memorialists respectfully submit
these considerations to yonr honorable
bodies. Trusting that your memorials
may not lay themselves liable to vain
boasting they would respectfully submit
to your honorable bodies that the press
the State has had no reason to be

A toll aceoant or the Tender SthMffib—
The Cause of Tear*. , ^
Blushing, says Mr. Darwin, is the fflbst
peculiar ami human of all expreaaiaiiS.
The redJeiiing of tho face is due to the
relaxation of tho muscular coats of tha
tiyvan.ll arteries by which the capilliaries
become filled with Hood. Blushing is hot
only involuntary, but the wish to restrain
it actually increases the tendency. Wo
men blush more than men. It is rar&to
see an old man blush, but not so rare: to
see an old woman. Infants do not blush,
neither do idiots, exoeipt rarely. 3ha
blind readily blush. The tendency to
blush is heieditary. Blushing is nstufily
confined to the face, ears ana neck; but
many persons while blushing intensely
feel the whole body tingle. The Semitia
races blush freely; so do the Polynesians.
The Chinese rarely blush. Do the ne
groes blush ? Mr. Darwin seems tabe %
little undecided, but is assured the Kaffirs
of South Africa never do.
Weeping is probably the result of Some
such chain of events as follows:. .qfiii-
dren, when wanting food or aufferingin
any way, cry out loudly, like the yotfng
of most other animals partly as a call, to
their parents for aid, aud partly from any
great exertion serving as a relief. Pro
longed screaming inevitably leads to-the
gorging of blood vessels of the eye; tod
this will have led, at first consciously and
at test habitually, to the contraction of the
muscles around the eyes ip order to.jpyro-
tect them. At the same time the spas
modic pressure on the surface of rite ^e,
and the i 1 intension of tire vessels within
the eye, without necessarihy entailing
any conscious sensation will have cffcijfed
through reflex act ion, tlie lacrimal gUcids.
Finally, through the three principles of
nerve-force readily passing olcug aetths-
tomed channels—of association, which is

certain actions, being more under//tbe
control o£ the will than others—if j has
come to pass that suffering readjly causes
the secretion of tears, without: being
necessarily accompanied by any ottyer
aotion. c*
Although in accordance with this ■yihw
; we mast look at weeping as an mCid4h£aI
result, as purposely as the secretion^of
tears from a blow outsido-the eye, pr 'aa
a sneeze from the retina being affected
by a bright light, yet this does not pre
vent any difficulty in onr understanding
how the secretion of tears serves as a re
lief to suffering. And by as much as foe
weeping is more violent or hysterical^ «y
so much will the relief be great—on foe
same principle that the writhing of foe
whole body, tbe grinding of the teeth
and the uttering ot piercing shrieks, pll
give relief under an agony of pain.
