The Cherokee Georgian
P. H. BKEWSTER, I pdit ._ s
J. J. A. SHARP, f Edltorß,
Canton, CCn
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1875.
There were several aspirants for Sneaker
of the present Congress but a cur (Kerr) it
acorns was the lucky dog.
The Governor has appointed John W.
Renfroe of Washington county State treas
urer, in the stead of John Jones, removed
The appointment is said to be judicious.
The Albanv News editor has spent sev
eral days in Atlanta recently, canvassing
pnblic opinion, and deliberately decides
’ that General Colquitt is the coming Gov
ernor.
The extensive wholesale grocery firm of
West, Edwards & Co., Atlanta has failed,
with reported Itabilitu s of $300,000 above
assets. The failure will cause considerable
litigation, and the principal Atlanta law
yers will come in for big fees.
If it were not that, the election for Presi
dent comes off in 1876, we would say there
te* great'need of two political parties in
Georgia. Parties should be true to their
pledges to the people. No party can live
long that poultices a sore that bleeds the
treasury of $200,000.
Hon. W. D. Anderson of Cobb county
has resigned his seat in the Legislature, has
l>een admitted to the North Georgia con
ference on trial, and assigned to the church
.at Eatonton. General Hansell and Colonel
Waddell are mentioned as candidates for
the vacancy.
We publish this week so much of the
North Georgia Conference as will specially
interest the people of this section. We have
not room for the entire list. Bes’des, the
proceedings of the conference have already
appeared in the daily papers, which circu
late pretty generally here. It will be seen
that Rev. R. R. Johnson is the preacher ap
pointed for the Canton circuit, and Rev. J.
' H. Mashburn, Jr., for the Jasper circuit.
President Grant’s message certainly
embodies the accustomed element of Radi
, cal progressiveness; but Radical ingenuity
can’t conjure up sufficient important future
• . i««ues to divert public attention from past
‘•cts of official corruption and pernicious
legislation. A system of national education
and the taxation of church property are
important questions, but they are reduced
to mere bagatelles in comparison with the
paramount question of preserving nnd per
petuating republican government in the
United States.
' Are our schools now giving the country
young men with minds trailed sufficiently
to grasp the momentous i«4;ies of govern
mental policy now upon the Union ? What,
we ask, are our young men being taught
about scientific industry, political economy,
the effects of legislation, etc.? Finding tu
pelo and piperidge is one thing in an edu
cation ; but detecting and utilizing a mount
ain of iron, or a vein of gold, or a bed of
diamonds, ora medical virtue in a plant, is
quite another; and the ability tn do the
one or the other is a weighty element in
estimating the value of a young man to the
Republic.

It is now understood, since the late decis
ion of the Supreme Court, that the sale of a
homestead exemption is not legal under
any circumstances. We hope the next leg
islature will make provision for the holding
of a constitutional convention (provided the
members composing the same shall agree to
serve without pay! for the purpose of so
altering and amending the Constitution
that it may be acceptable to all honest peo
ple. Fifteen hundred do’lars worth of r ail
estate should be set apart as a homestead
for every family’ in the state with ut a
special application. This we think would
be just and right.
Cherokee Georgia offers the most fl it
terin* opening to young men of scientific
♦ducat on and skilled eyisand hands lo be
found on the globe. A fortune can be
amassed from her various vegetable.grow ths
by the skilled chemist; from the quartz
rock, gnrnet, etc., by the skilled lapidary;
from her superior timbci by the skilled me
chanic ; from her rich soils by the skilled
agriculturist; from her nombeile«s water
powers by the skilled machinist ; and from
many other sources of natural wealth now
totally untouched. It Is to skill, pluck, and
determination, that a fortune is guaranteed
to young men in Cherokee Georgia. While
the profusions are crow hd, uu n skilled in
utilizing natural elements ot wealth cun
find here an unoccupied dominion.

Thr State Grange, Patrons of Husband

continued in harmonious sessi m for three
days About one hundred and fifty dele
gates were present. A resolution was unan
imously ad’*pt«d nq testing the Legislature
lo enact a d<>g law for the protection ot
sheep husltandrv. The tollow ring resolutions
introduced by Gen. Win Phillips, wire
adopted as expiami’ory of the principles ot

Tarious other resolutions, looking to the
good of ti e Order, and to the benefit of the
industrial classes geneiaily, were passed;
and cheap transportation by canal and rivet

was empower! to appoint lecturers in each

and bringing about a revival. Able

and the session was altogether interesting,
profitable and exceedingly harmonious.
The Literary Testi
President Grant in bis late message rec
ommends tiiat the several states shall pass
laws making the ability to rea 1 and write
a pre-requisite to the elective franchise.
This is right, and should have been done
long ago; but then if it had, Grant and his
friends would never have been elected to
office. What a blessing it would have been
to the country if this test had been applied
at the close of the war. It would have saved
the South a deal of trouble and mortifica
tion, and millions of money.
The President also recommends compul
sory education. We object to that. Let all
who wish to remain in ignorance,be allow
ed to do so, for there is no bar to (ne foun
tain of knowledge in this country, but those
who are wilfully ignorant should not jeopar
dize the safety and perpetuity of our insti
tutions by voting at random and in the
dark. Lib-Tty and Democracy arc good
things, but are liable to be much abused,
and are in danger of being used to the utter
destruction of all good government. In the
present state of society, and under the pres
ent constitution of things, proper restraints
and restrictions are wholesome and neces
sary. A man should have some knowledge
or nt least the ability to acquire it, and some
regard f r morality and order, before he
shall have placed at his mercy the g>od of
the whole country.
Navigation of the Etowah.
We are glad to know that many of our
citizens are beginning to manifest an inter
est in the proposed scheme of opening the
Etowah river to navigation. We are at the
s ime time aware, that when the subject is
mentioned to some people that it causes a
smile of incredulity, and they are ready to
say that the enterprise is entirely impracti
cable, and that the work will never be
done. They cannot give any particular
reason for their opinion, and confess that
they know but little a’ out such things, and
yet they are confident that steamboats will
never plow the Etowah ! Such people never
' accomplish anything great themselves, and
if others were influenced by their croaking,
no important public improvement would
ever be undertaken ; but it is well for the
country that there are men of faith and en
ergy, who believe that what has been done
by others may be done by themselves, and
who are ready to put their shoulders to the
wheels an I pu«h forward the car of im
provement. Such men have built our rail
roads and factories, and navigated our riv
ers too, despite the sneers of those who
never think anything great can be done.
We have recently been told by men of ex
perience and sound judgment that it would
be comparatively an easy matt r to make
the Etowah navigable. It could be done
at one-fourth the cost of a railroad of equal
length, and the be-t p irt of it is the general
gov rnment proposes to furnish the means
for the work if it can be shown that the en
terprise is feasible and would result in the
public good. An old la’v orce, on being
asked in class-meeting, if she loved her
Maker, abruptly replied that she had “noth
in’ agin him ” We certainly can have
nothing “agin” the appropriation that Con
gress proposes to make for the ope ring of
our river, and we shoul I extend our han Is
and say, “let it come.” A g •n'le nan who
lives on Coosawattee river, remarked to us,
1 the other day, that the Etowah could be
made navigable to Canton, at a great deal
less'*ost than that river, and yet boats run
to Carter’s Quarter, which is about two
hundred miles from Rome by the river,
m I forty miles by land. We also learned
that there were twenty five dams on the
Co isaw.ittee between Calhoun and the head
of navigation, whica is but a short distance.
We venture to assert that an equal numlxr
I of dams from Home to Canton would make
the Etowah capable offloating a boat of the
largest siz-. The Mary Carter on the
Covsawattee, carries, it issai 1. one thousand
bags ol cotton at a time. A trout of equal
capacity on the Etowah would answer our
purpose, and be a great convenience and
: blessing to the whole country. Then let
us go to work to secure the offered benefit
Let us ‘keep pegging away.’’

And s iy, it shall be done. ’

Religion and IMitica.
An Atlanta correspondent of the Cons'i
tutionalist thinks that Governor Smith will
. lx* influenced, in making certain appoint
ments, by denominational considerations,
but we think that a man of Gov. Smith's
great common sense, "ill not stop to in- ■
q lire as hi what are the particular religious
views ot tbvse whom he upjroiuta to office. ,
So lir fto.il being a». ctan.ui big' >t, we are I
nut sure tiiat the Governor is even religious, i
Tin- same correspondent thinks certain as- I
pirantsil r the next Governorship are taking '
particular latius to secure the favor of the
leading denominattons in the state. Tiiat 1
cou es t h>ud'.-nl must la* a v. ry close observer, ■
a d s doubtless a jt-dous sectarian himself,
or his llio ight- would not hive such a pe
culiar drift. \Yv think is unfortunate and
out of place to mike religious opinions a
i test m politicil milters Wc are in fav.ir
of promoting none but g«*vd tnen to
but is at man has a little Soul, a mu di
tuiud. Hilda cwiifish heart, who prefers’
one uiiu rath<r than aucther because of his
; church relations. Such issues should be
frowned down by every friend of religious
toleration, for if a spirit of sectarian preju
dice and religious intolerance be encouraged
and indulged, it will inevitably lead to diis
i astrons results, both to church and state,
i The church should be “many ns the waves,
but one as the sea,” and the one th it be
conies the most popular is in the most dam*
ger of becoming corrupt and would work
its own destruction by using its influence
and power in political eicctions. We should
all cultivate and cherish liberal and charit
able views, especially in religious masters,
and ayoid any thing that savors of foolish,
unreasonable, sectarian prejudice an I bigot
ry. We are sorry that religious questions
have been mixed up with the late elections
in some of the Northern states. Such issue l ’
in polities, we repeat, are exceedingly un
fortunate, and if they continue to be kept
up, and are fanned by religious fanatics,
they will one day cause rivers of blood to
flow. It would be far better, in our humble
opinion, to abolish the public school system
altogeth r and everywhere, if it cahn »t lie
continu *d without religious strife. Or. why
not divide the public school fund an 3 let
Prot- st ints and Catholics each have .their
proportional part in cases where the two
elements are the cause of strife and conten
tion. Such is the policy in the South in
regard to the whites and blacks, a»d no
other plan would do at all. Ifthe Catholics
wish to exclude the Bible from their
schools, and to deny their children the pri
viledge of reading it, we say let them do so.
We would not dictate to them in the matter
nor control them arbitrarily if we B>uld ;
but at the same time, let the line be drawn
and a separation be made, so that we can
use the Bible in our »chools, if we think
proper, and teach our own children its Di
vine Truths. In our feelings we are intoler
ant in our opposition to religious intoler
ance. It is a bad thing and a little thing,
but often produces great mischi f.
“For modes of faith, let fools and zealots
fight,
His can’t be wrong whose life is in ’he
right.”
The new M ister of the National Grange,
Judge John Thompson Jones, is a native of
Essex county, Virgini i, having been born
in that county in the year 1813 ; was edu
cated at the university of Virginia, graduat
ing in the year 1833, having taken the law
course. He removed to within ten miles
of Helena, Phillips county, Ark , where he
settled on a plantation, and has lived there
since that time. He was elected ju Ige of
the first judicial circuit of Arkansas in 1842,
serving two terms of four year* each. Was
elected to the senate of the United Slates in
1866, before the state was reconstructed,
and was not admitted to a seat, this being
the only political office for which he ever
offered. He retired from the bench in 1850,
and has been devoted p planting ejfersinc-',
as well as having carried on a largl plant
ing interest while on the benchJu Ige
Jones hife two large plantations iJrnlUips
county, Arkansas, cultivating ycaDy about
1,000 acres, and one on R>l rivet having
about 400 acres in cul ivation. His first care
was to have an abundant provision crop,
in which he nev< r failed, in ad lition to
making about 800 biles of cotton annually,
and other cr >ps in proportion. Ilis election
gives great satisfaction, and it is felt that
the grange will prosper under bis leadership.
[Constitution.
The President’s message occupiiaUabont
ten columns of the daily papers, aud is en
tirely too lengthy to be presented in The
Georgian. The following is a n-enpitilla
tion of the principal recommendations in
the message, as made by the President him
self :
First—That the State shall be required
to fiflord the opportunity of a voo I common
school education to every child within their
limits.
Second—No sectarian tenets shall ever be
taught in «ny school supported in whole or
in part by the State, nations, or by the pro
ceeds of any tax levied upon any communi
ty. Make education compulsory so fur as
i io deprive all persons who cannot read And
j wiitc from becoming voters after the year
disfranchising none, how- ver, on the
grounds of illiteracy, who may be voters at
the time this amendment takes effect
Third—Deciare churc’i and State forever
separate and distinct, but erfli free within
i their proper sphere, and that all church
1 property sh.-.1l I ear its own proportion of
i taxation.
Fourth —Drive out licer.s d immorality.
; such as polygamy and the importation of
women for illegitimate purpose.
Fifth—Enact such laws as will in«utita
speedy return to so md currency, sivh as
will command the respe't of the world.

A. Card*
To the citizens of Cherokee
county :
After having been engaged for
nine years in the mercantile buai
ncss in your midst, I have become
convinced that the credit system ia
all wrong. To follow it, a merchant
lias either to charge enormous pro
fits, or ruin himself by selling on
time. Those of you who poy
promptly have to pay such largo
profits that the merchants can af
ford to lose the accounts of your
neighbors who are not disposed to
pay, or who are unfortunate and
can not pay. In other words, good
men have to pay for the goods pur
chased by their unfort linate or
dishonest neighbors. This state of
things is wrong, aud when a man
is satisfied that he is wrong ha
should change his course, or ba
held responsible for living in the
wrong.
Fully convinced that the above
position is correct, I have deter
mined to sell, after the Ist of De
cember next, exclusively for cash
or barter. I can and will sell at
least twenty per cent, cheaper, the
stock through, than I have ever
sold. lam in favor of every per
son paying for hi* own goods, and
hope none of my old customer!
and friends will be offended when
I say to them that after the Ist of
December I will sell for cash or
barter only. I will be no respecter
of persons, will require cash from
evary one, and positively will not
open my books to charge any item,
be it ever so small, to the best man
in the county. If you have cash
or barter, call and examine my
stock and prices before purchas
ing elsewhere, and you wilt then
be fully satisfied with my 1 new de
parture. I charge nothing for ex
hibiting goods, or giving prices,
and when you have examined the
one and heard the other, you will
then be convinced it is to your in
terest to pay as you go.
AH those who are indebted to
me, or to the firm of McAfee &
Moss, must come forward and make
immediate settlements. This is
my last call.
Very respectfully,
15-Im J. M. McAFEE.
