ALFRED H. COLQUITT,
OF Fl ETON.
Editorial Notes.
Hanged if it isn’t a difficult mat
ter for “D” and “M” to settle the
‘‘capital punisrnent” question.
Our foreman Mr. J. A. Sharp,
after eleven months of close con
finement in the city, has gone to
rusticate for a while in the coun
try, and to enjoy the fresh air.
The people generally seem to
take very little interest in nation
al politics, and we suppose there
will be very little excitement here
in regard to the Presidential elec
tion.
It is estimated that if all the
money in circulation in the South,
were equally divided among the
people, that each one would have
the enormous sum of two dollars
AND sEVENTY-ITVH CENTS I AVO
would like very much to have our
“quoto”
We fear there are so many who
have “claims” upon the Democrat
ic party, that it will bankrupt the
concern to pay them all. The
Radical party has already bank
rupted the country by collecting
pay for its valuable services in sav
ing it from destruction.
President Grant says “Right
eousness exalteth a nation.” That
is a Scripture truth which the Rad
ical party has never illustrated;
but it has certainly convinced the
most skeptical, of the truth con
tained in the same verse of Scrip
ture, “sin is a reproach to any peo
ple.”
“Retrenchment and reform’2 has
been the cry lor several years, yet
the people’s taxes remain the same
in county and State, There is too
much difference between one dol
lar on the fi ousan 1 before the
war, and ten since, and the people
should DEMAND a reduction.
President Grant is spoken of as
the successor of Gen. Logan in the
United States Senate. A man of
such exalted virtue, rare talent and
splendid statesmanship, should not
be allowed to retire to the shades
of private life, after so short and
br’lliant a career ol public service.
He is “first in war,” last in peace,
and all the time in the pockets ol
his countrymen.
The excitement upon the Gu
bernatorial question in Georgia, is
very imprudent, unfortunate, and
unnecessary. As democrats, arc
Wo not-all broth.eu. and why should
there be among us so much bitter
ness and strife? “Zeal not accord
ing to knowledge” is characteris
tic of some politicians. Some of
them will have to support the man
whom they are denouncing and
abusing or do worse
Thk Savannah News, and Macon
Telegraph are still cl unoring for
the removal of the capital. That
is a caittal suggestion, it the peo
ple of Atlanta reenact many more
such di*graeef:;l scenes as were
witnessed at the primary election
in that city the other day. But if
the e<literj of those village pajiers
wish us to advocate their favorite
measure, they must first learn to
£pell inert* correctly.
We hope the next 1 g>l dure
when it mee*s, will immediately
call a convention to alter the con
stitutiim and then adjourn far a
year. By so doing much expense
to the State miy be avoided, and
our representatives will show that
thevtnv.m business when they talk
about retren Umcut. “County
lines, and the ‘‘sections of the
Uod ',” Cin remain as the) arc. un

Death of Two Good Men.
We have recently learned through our ex
changes, that two good men, whom we
highly esb emed, have departed this lite
and gone to their rewards above. Mr
Geo Kellog, cl Forsyth county, and Rev.
Win. Cunyus, of Batlow county, are the
names that have been added to the long list
<»f our departed friends. Mr. Kellogg was a
prominent citizen, and was well and most
favorably known by a large portion of the
people of Georgia. lie was born and rear
ed in the Slate of Connecticut, but Ids heart
was as tine Io the South as the needle to
Ike pole. He was loved and trus’ed by
all v ho knew him, and was regarded as a
inod< 1 man, in ail the r< lations ol life. He
was a systematic and suc. ’cssi'ul business
man, true gtmlb man, ami an humble and
devoted Christian. “His praise was,” es
pecially, “in all the churches.” It was our
privilege to form his acquaintance, and
for several months during the late war lo
be associated with him, and we felt that it
was a privilege indeed to have the benefit o
his wise counsel, and pious example. Al
though considerably advanced in life
when the war came on, he responded to
the call made by the State for old men and
othcis who were exempt from military du
ty, and served for several months as a pri
vate soldier. We remember a little inci
dent which illustrates his coolness and self
posession, under exciting circumstances.
A report came to camps early one morning,
that the enemy was approaching; an I the
sharp and quick command, ‘fall into line!’
was being extended by the < fficers. As wo
passed by Mr. Kellogg's tent we saw him
quietly smolirg his pipe. We asked him
if he was ready for the fight. ‘’Yes,” said
he, “but I thought I would 8 aokc a little
while they are getting ready !”
Rev. William Cunyus was a native of
Southern Georgia and graduated at Emory
College, Oxford. For several years he was
a successful teacher at Stylcsboro, Georgia-
He afterwards turned his attention to farm
ing, and also succeeded well in that busi
ness. It was a pleasure to look at his crops,
his stock, his farm houses and fences, all of
which showed the skillful management of
an educated and intelligent mind. In ear
ly manhood he became a minister of the
gospel, and industiioudy, faithfully, zeal
ously and eflleicDtly did he labor as a local
preacher in the Metbodi-.t Church, until
called by the Master, from labor here to
refreshment and rest above. He doubtless
has “many stars in the crown of his rejoic
ing” in heaven. Bro. Cunyus, had many
noble qualities, lie was generous, cheer
ful, sociable and kind. We have often cn
joved the light of his pleasant countenance
around our fire-side and bis own ; “we
look sweet council together, and walked to
the house of God in company;” but ala-!
w<- shall meet on earth no more! Fac v< I
dear friend ! May w<* meet in heaven !
A l lotuly Battle on the Plains.
We clip from The Atlanta Constitution
of July 7th, the following account of a ter
tible tight with the In lians :
“G<n. Custar found the Indian camp of
twento five lodges at Little Horn, and im
mediately attacked it with five companies,
charging into the thickest of the camp
Nothing known of the opei-ati ns of this
detachment alter the charge, asth<y were
only traced by their dead.
M j Reno attacked the lower part of the
camp with the seven remaining companies.
Gen. Custar, his two brothels, nephew,
and brother-in-law, with aoout 300 men
were kill <l, a-.d<uiy3l w< u d.d. Two
hundred and seven men veto buried in
one place.
Tue Ind ans surrounded IL no's seven
comp.tiiies, and held them in the hills one
day away from water. Gen. Gi Lam’s
command tian came in agbt, aid the In
dians broke camp and left in the night.
The remnant ol' the seventh cavalry,
and Gibbon's c< tuman 1, rAurmdti the
mouth of L tile Horn, where tiicrv is a
steamboat.
The Indians got the arms of the killed
soldiers. Sivvntcin commissioned otlicers
were killed The whole <5 star funii’y
died at till- bead ot the column.
Another account says the battle w. s
fought oh the 25th till., 3 ) or 40 mil< s be
low Little Horn. Custar attacked the vil
lage ot 2,500 to 4 ODO wan tors on one side
and Col. Reno on the other.
