Canton, O-a.,
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1876.
Governor Smith.
A writer in the Atlanta Courier, who
siuns himself “Vox”says tliat serious charges
are tw»ffig circulated against Gov. Smith.
It is to be hoped, tor the credit of the State
and thejemocratic party, that they are not
true, hut let them be "investigated,” and if
th( 'tWiiiw» | wnr -caa not prove himself clear,
off with his headl Insinuations and inuen
does and/itcte are sometimes very different
things. “Outs” and malcontents are vigi
lant. Wcmovc that a committee of five be
appointed to “investigate,” but respectfu’ly
decline being chairmen.
g Common Sense.
Common sense, is the best kind of sense,
and tt is a great pity that there is not more
of unfortunately, for the world, it is
not common enough. People who have
plenty of good hard common sense, are the
most members of society. They are
always reliable, and it is safe to follow their
< x ana pie and.advice, in matters which they
prefer- to understand. The common sense
f ramr « the man who knows “how to
mnk**<he farm pay. He may not under-
Masd how to analvzo the soil, but he knows
■when it is “rich,” and he also knows how
to jjiake and keep it so, and to canse it to
produce abundant crops. The common
sense doctor is the one to send for, (if
thea* is any sense in sending for one at all),
when you are sick, for if you are not bad
off, he will not make an apothecary’s shop
ofyonr stomach, and make you sick, sure
enqygjg and if you are really ailing, he
witt help,nature to restore your health, if he
thiplp it is necessary.
If you are fool enough to go to law, the
cotpmon sense lawyer is the man to employ,
for if the pourt and jury are men of sense,
lie wifi talk common sense to them, and
J; ’
gain your ftise for you, if it be right and
just that you should gain it. The common
sense ttarher is the man who knows best
how to educate children. He will not teach
them*ft great deal of hifalntin and imprac
tical e nonsense, which will be of no earth
ly use to them in the business of life, but
will’ p'it each through a course of studies
adapted to Ids capacity, and to the busi
ness which he is.most likely to follow
through lift. He will not encourage a boy,
who is naturally dull, to grapple with
greek, Win, and the higher branches of
mathejnalies, because he knows these things
will be of no use to him in following the
plow or driving the plane, nor will he in.
sist tliat a young lady, who will probably be
a poor farmer’s wife, shall study the scien
ces in order that she may know how to
make a steam engine, or a compound pul
h'V, nr construct an over-shot wheel. They
might tench her so much of chemistry as rc
latrs’to making butter and soap, but her
own experience, and common sense, will
teach h< r these things.
The common sense preacher, provided he
has the spirit of his Mister, is the best qual
ified to feed the flock of (’hist, and to call
sinners to repentance. He does not strive
for a Hphtation of lining great and learned,
by dealing in abstruse theories, and idle and
unprofitable speculations, spoken in an “un
known tongue,” bu F hesjieaks as a mortal
man, to mortal men, in lanrunge that may
he understood, and about things which con
cern accontable beings, as we all are.
The people of the present day are going
tonfist In everything; they are over-reach
ing themselves, and it would be well to
stop awhile and think. We {ire not half as
far advanced in true, substantial, and use
ful knowledge as we think we are. There
has been some prognss made of late
years in some things, but we of the present
d ty practice a great deal of foolishness, and
I*' our hhtory shall ever be read by sensi
hie people in a future age, they will con
chate that even those who are called our
wisest m< n, had very little common sense
Mere Frauds Upon the Government.
Some years ago the United States was
called a nation of drunkards, but now it
H-enis shut it is in a fairway to deserve the
nppelation of a nation of thieves and swind
lers. Frauds against the government, on a
gigantic scale, are being disco venal almost
«very day, and the tune will ptoably soon
arrive when men in high official positions
w ho do not steal, will be rare exevpiious to
the general rule. What can be the cause of
the universal rascality which prevails in the
country at this time ? Is it owing to the
f.ret’ that poliii< al frauds have In-on pnic
timl so frequently since tho war, and that
rddn-ry has U-en legalized so often, that
men have a hpted a system of ethic* which
justifies them in taking advantage of every
opportunity, and of using every means, no
matter h<»w dishonorable, to make, or rath
er to Met, money ? 1! ts the preeed.mt liecn
nnd is it understood all over the
land, ’lmt men have a right to swindle the
governin'* it. provide I there is a pjonbil
j‘y of escaping debeth-n, conviction and
jmnlshment • It really docs seems that
p •bile morals arc at low ebh, and it is no
wonder that almost every man in pob’ic
<lltee isregurihhl with auapiclon.acd that a

other swindles are resorted to, to make it
come faster* and when big dogs lead the
way, it is no wonder that small ones follow
Stealing has often been legalized and made,
honorable in this glorious land of liberty of
late years, ?nd there are more men ready to
follow a bad example, set by a man in high
position, than to imitate the example of a
good one, no matter how exalted his sta
tion. The consequence is, corruption,
fraud, bribery, swindling, stealing and rob
bery are becoming so common in every de
partment of the government, as to excite
but little attention. These reflections are
suggested by the announcement in last
week’s papers of the malfeasance of gener
al Belkap, the Secretary of War. The evi
dence against him of fraud seems to be
clear, strong and conclusive, and a term in
the penitentiary probably, awaits him, pro
vided he has not stolen enough of money
with which to pay his way out of his troubles
as many of his predecessors in crime have
done. Alas for the country. It seems to
be hell-ward bound.
Editorial Noles.
More than a column of the Express is
filled with Bai tow Sheriff’s sales, for April.
We candidly think that Bartow county is
in need of reconstruction.
We think the boys in on r office deserve
praise for geting out the Georgian in such
a neat style this week and last, Mr. Taylor
was a most excellent printer, but our friends
discover that we can get along without
him.
It is said that Pincliback, the Louisiana
negro, who is contending for a seat in the
United States Senate, is the constant com
panion of Senator Morton. If a man is to
be judged by the company he keeps,
must be a bad nigger.
“11. W. G.” in a letter to the Atlanta
Courier, from Washington, says: Congress
man Felton, who, for years, in bis quiet
home, on the Etowah, has keenly and ob
servingly studied public men and events,
says that Senator Thurman is the greatest
Statesman that fie ever knew.
At first the Atlanta Courier had the
picture of an ngly looking pistol at the head
of its “elbow shots” column, and then it
had a shot gun, and we axpected to see a
jeanon next, but now it comes to us, with
out any implemcnt.of war whatever, and
we now hope its mission is one of peace.
It is a little remarkable that those mem
bers of the legislature, who lived on the
line of railroads, voted almost to a man,
against granting aid to the Marietta and
North Georgia Railroad. We suppose they
feel independent, and think they will never
need any help themselves.
The Savannah News and Cartersville
Express, (both edited by “trained journnl
ists”)condemn the ethics of certain papers,
which allow them to farm out their columns
to those who wish to promote their private
ends. We don’t proftss to belong to the
‘T. J’s,” but we take occasion to say that
nny matter, that is not immoral in its ten
dency will be publisher] In the Georgian,
us an advertisement. At the same time, we
reserve to ourselves the right to publish our
own views in regard to matters ot public
policy.
Our young friend, Henry O’Sbields has
been assitant Printer and Local Editor,
since Mr. B. F. Taylor’s absquntulation.
Henry has considerable versatility ot talent,
and can turn his hand to almost anything.
He is a First rate Templar, a good musician,
a good painter, a good sinoklsl, a pretty
fair printer, for his practice, and, in every
retqrect, a clever fellow. Besi les, all this,
he is good looking, and the young ladies
would do well to avail themselves of the
privileges of L**ftp year, and come to sec
him. But we insist that they must not
take him off, for Canton could not do with
out him.
It is about time now to be sending in the
usual crop of spring poetry. Can’t some ot
out sentimental readers send us an “Ode to
spring?” We would also like to have some
thing original about “flowers” and “hone.”
“Poets are Imrn, not made," and many who
can write very g<x>d prose make a great
mistake when they attempt to write poetry.
It is a rare thing to see a piece of original po
etry in a newspaper that is respectable
Almost any one at times, can make rhymes;
but there are certain rules to be observed
in writ’ng poetry, which, if unknown or
disregrnded, cause the writer to appear to
graat disadvantage. We advise our young
friends to stick to prose, and never to write
verse if they can help it. If, however, you
happen to write a few rtrses, don’t l»e in a
hurry to have them published, but hold on
to them awhile, and you will be apt to be
asbatn* d of them.
