The way bank officers are defalcating
is causing no little uneasiness in finan
cial circles, and a close watch is kept
upon the banks by directors who, under
ordinary circumstances, would not trou
ble themselves with examining the
records.
The death of Gambetta will leave
quite a void in French politics. Gam
betta did more than any one man to
abolish the Empire and establish a Re
public after the disaster of Sedan. Ho
was one of the few Dictators who was
willing to surrender his unlimited pow
ers, and his place in history will be that
of a patriot and reformer.
The contest for the Speakership of
the next House of Congress is being
warmly canvassed, and it is no telling
who will secure the nomination in the
Democratic caucus. With all this
diversity of opinion, however, there is
apparently little bitterness, and the
choice of the caucus will be the choice
of the majority of that body.

The Des Moines Ledger says that
begging for religion is what is keeping
people away from the churches. But
people often let very Binall things per
suade them. It is a good thing for a
man to educate himself to giving. As
a rule cheerful givers are the happiest
people, and they make others the hap
piest. The churches which give the
most are always the most prosperous.
A St. Louis paper goes off in this
strain in its editorial columns when
speaking about an article so much
sought after by old and young, rich and
poor. He writes about “whisky with
a fragrance like tho flowers and a taste
like the dreamy melody of Mendelsohn’s
music.” No wonder the Cincinnati
brewers refused to attend a -convention
in St. Louis and talk of following the
Chicago brewers by raising the price
on drinks.
The letters published by Dorsey are
proof positive that President Garfield
was his fast friend and adviser pending
the Presidential struggle of 1880, and
knew all the dishonest methods resort
ed to by the great Star Route magnets
to corrupt the voters and secure doubt
ful States for the Republicans, Garfield
knew full well that Dorsey was a cun
ning, desperate and dishonest man,
ready and willing to resort to the most
questionable means to accomplish an
end. Had the last President been
guarded by a high sense of honor, he
would have cut loose from Dorsey and
relfed upon the people for success.
The latest fraud calculated to deceive
farmers is explained as follows: A far
mer receives a circular through the
mails, stating that anew and improved
variety of winter wheat has been dis
covered, and that seed will be furnish
ed him free of charge until a good crop
of said wheat is raised, on condition
that he sends one dollar to pay for
postage and packing, etc. The money
is paid and nothing more is heard of it.
It is doubtful whether farmers will ever
get their “eye teeth cut,” so as not to
be victimized by every smooth tongued
(windier that comes along. If they
wonld only consider the foolishness of
the idea that they are to receive some
thing for nothing, fewer would be
caught in the cleverly laid traps.
The Week of Prayer.
Tho week of prayer, as recommended
by the Evangelical Alliance, will be
gin on the 7th of January next. The
subject for the different days will be as
follows: Sunday, January 7th, sermon
—“Christ as the Mediator between
God and man;” Monday, praise and
thanksgiving; Tuesday, humiliation
aud confession; Wednesday, prayer for
families; Thursday, prayer for the
church universal; Friday, prayer for
the nations; Saturday, prayer for miss
ions; Sunday, sermons on “The Second
Coming of Christ.”
Raoul Victorious.
Savannah, January I. —The election
for direction of the Central Railroad and
Banking Company held in this city to
day, was the most exciting in the his
tory of that corporation. There were two

Captain W. G. Raoul and the other
by General E. P. Alexander. The

The Departed Year.
The old year, 1882, has passed away.
Many of our loved ones who were with
us twelve months ago, now sleep the
sleep of death. Who among us to-day,
will be with us twelve months hence?
God only knows. The year that has
past, was full of wonderful events.
Some of those were joyous, others mel
ancholy. Glad or sorrowful, they are
numbered with the dead. The record
of eighteen hundred and eighty-two, is
complete; the page is written over, seal
ed, and blotted hero and there with
tears. We now fold the parchment,
and place upon it the great seal of the
Past. As the old year departed, the
rosy tint heralded the appearance of
the new. The stars held their faith
ful vigil in the sky, and they seem to
wax paler and to wear a more solemn
sombre glow, as they make the swift
revolution of time, and gaze down in
silence upon the shortening span which
speaks of death—the life span of the
once new, but now dead year. A
strong arm swings the scythe, and as
the forms iall like the grass, the this
tles and flowers of the meadows, the
hands of the reaper binds them into
sheaves, and they are garnered safely
from the storms. The scythe never
grows dull, and the reaper’s arm is al
ways strong, therefore the harvest lasts
from day to day, and from year to year.
The year eighteen hundred and eightv
two, which has borne upon its brow
the remorseless stamp of Time, has
passed away beneath the sturdy strokes,
its life-current has ceased to flow, and
the midnight chimes have pealed forth
in doleful tones its departed requiem.
We now leave the past, and reflect for
a moment upon the present. Eighteen
hundred and eighty-three has been duly
inaugurated. Let us firmly resolve to
make the New Year upon which we
have just entered, expiate the faults
of the Old Year, and thank our Heaven
ly Father, that He has thus given us
the opportunity to be better and wiser.
Let us resolve to bury what is evil in
the past, and to face the future with a
noble aim, conscious of our own weak
ness, let us look for strength that comes
from above. With such a resolution, the
past may not return to reproach us,
and the future will be a stepping stone
to immortality.
In conclusion, may the present year
be a year of joy and happiness, and
may such blessings be bestowed so that
they will fall alike upon the heads of
all, and may it be the brightest and
be6t vouchsafed to mortal man
To the numerous readers of the Sum
ter Republican, friends and foes, one
and all, we send greeting for a Happy
New Year, and sincerely wish that
the year 1883, may truly be to them, a
pleasant, prosptrous and happy one.
We take this occasion to extend to
the patrons of the Republican our great
ful acknowledgment of the patronage
so liberally extended to us the laßt
twenty-nine years. The Republican
enters upon the New Year with brighter
hopes than any previous one, based
upon the foundation of what it has
achieved in the past, we shall be more
dilligent in advancing the interests of
both city and county, and surrounding
counties, thereby desiring the confi
dence of the public in the future, as we
have received in the past.
If the Star Route trials have thus
far proved a farce, they have neverthe
less thrown much light along the path
over which the Routers, uuder the guid
ance of Dorsey, Brady & Cos. traveled
so many years. Lawyer Bliss, in his
speech, mafle two statements that are
worth repeating in brief. He said, on
Friday, that the records show that dur
ing the four and a half years that Mr.
Brady held the office of Second Assis
tant Postmaster General he had found
it necessary to “expedite” one hundred
and twenty routes, while in the year
and a half since his retirement not a
single route has been expedited. The
other statement related to a Route that
bad been “expedited” from $2,900 to
$29,000, although the mail bag car
ried over the route started and arrived
without a letter, postal or newspaper
in it.
St. Louis is enjoying the rare excite
ment of anew prophet, who proposes
to make the city the birthplace of anew
religion. His name is Wilson, a watch
maker, formerly of Macomb, 111., but
for a dozen years a wanderer about the
world, he says, by command of the
Creator, who provides his food and
clothing, and has revealed to him that
he is to go into a three days’ prelimi
nary trance in St. Louis, to be followed
by one of forty days, during which the
new creed would be communicated to
him. Having secured a room he
promptly entered into the three days’
trance, and newspaper reporters, spirit
ualists, physicians and curious people
are guarding and watching him with
great interest. There are said to b
no strong external indications of intel
lect about him, but bis expression is
that of a man burdened with a great
thought or great delusion.

A curious case came before the Liver

broker was sued for the value of two
coats which the plaintiff had pawned,
and which had been injured by mice
eating away the pockets. It having
been proved that crumbs had been left
in the pockets, it was held that the mice
had been attracted by them, and the
owner was guilty of “contributory neg
ligence,” and so the “pawnbroker tri
umphed.”
“The appeal of Mr. Mills of Texas,
for a Christmas adjournment would
have melted a heart of stone,” observed
a fellow-Congressman yesterday. “He

Washington bv the first of December,
and he will not know until next year
whether he has been re-elected or not.

Mr. Mills of the blessed privilege of

While some poor, virtuous, intelli

Gen. John B. Gordon found that in
intelligent European circles there was
especial interest in the South. He says
it is generally believed in Europe
among the best thinkers on social and
financial topics that the South will be
come the richest part of the country,
and many large capitalists are inquiring
after Southern investment. He talked
with a great many capitalists who are
interested in cotton spinning, and they
were emphatic in the statement that
they expected to see the time when the
South would manufacture the bulk ot
the cotton grown in the South. They
say that that is the natural tendency of
things, and that they cannot hope to
put off the clay very long when the
South will be able to drive English cot
ton goods out of the world’s market.
The opinion that gold will flow into
this country from Europe next month is
based not only on the large surplus of
our crops for shipment, but also on the
expectation that, since trade is in a
more quiet condition, the demand for
foreign goods will be less active in 1883
than for the past twelve months, so
that imports will fall off. The recent
activity in foreign exchange is ascribed
to the fact that Europe has been send
ing us called bonds for payment.
The Democratic banner that was

and proudly kept it for four years, each
time giving a larger majority than any
State in the Union. In 1880 Texas
got it by giving 98,000 majority for
Hancock.—This year it comes to New
York, the Empire State having given
Cleveland 195,000.
A countryman stepped into a fruit

It is now estimated that more people

GAMBETTA’S DEATH.
A Trag'edy With a Woman’s
Hand Behind it.
Paris, January 1, 1883.—M. Gam
betta passed a good night on Saturday
night, but he suffered from fatigue aris
ing from confinement to bed for so long
a time. The exterior inflammation
showed a tendency to disappear, never
theless an operation was declared to be
necessary, aud it was decided that it
should be performed on Sunday, but
Dr. Lannelongue, who left the patient
at seven o’clock was recalled at niue
o’clock, a change for the worse having
occurred. At one o’clock on this
(Monday) morning, the sufferer was
much worse, and the imminent crisis
was regarded as certain. A few min
utes later he died. M. Gambetta was
quite conscious to the last. The death
agony lasted two hours. M. Spuller,
M. Eteenne and Dr. Fienzed were pres
ent at the last moment. The physi
cians who attended M. Gambetta state
that his death was due to pyfemia,
eaused by suppressed erysipelas A
clot of blood which had formed in the
heart suffocated the deceased. A plas
ter cast of the face was taken this morn
ing. There will be an autopsy to
morrow. A state funeral, it is expect
ed, will be given the deceased.
THE ORIGIN OF THE WOUNDING.
This is the story of how Gambetta
received the wound from which he died,
as told by Paris gossips; Anxious to
get up a political salon, M. Gambetta,
by advice of his friends, bethought him
of marriage. A proper person was
found—the daughter of a senator, her
self a widow, titled, and with a fortune
of 6,000,000. All was arranged and
the union was about to be officially an
! nounced, when it got to the ears of his
son’s mother, who immediately drove
out, and, after a stormy interview, in
which he refused to break off with his
betrothed, she shot him. Rumor adds
that Mme. de X. has withdrawn since
that stormy interview, fearing, with
some reason, that she, too, might have
a visit from the lady with the revolver.
DEATHBED SCENES,
Paris, January I.—The Republique
Francaise states that at six o’clock
yesterday evening the doctors present
in the room with Gambetta perceived
that the abcess had bursted internally.
At 10:35 o’clock, Gambetta recovered
consciousness sufficiently to thank bis
friends for their attention, which he
had the perfect calmness to do. His
breathing then became more difficult.
London, January I. —A Paris dis
patch in the second edition of the
Times says: The death agony of
Gambetta began before midnight, after
great suffering, which ceased when the
agony began. For nearly twenty hours
before Gambetta became unconscious
he complained that he was tortured
with a pain as if a ball of red-hot iron
were inside of him. He had recently
become asthmatic, and it was therefore
not permissable to ventilate his room
properly. Several times during bis
illness he spoke to M. Bert, member of
the chamber of deputies, upon some
matters weighing on bis mind, but al
ways briefly. M. M. Ranc and Spul
ler wore sommoned to liis bedside for
the purpose of receiving a communica
tion, but the syncope proceeding death
had begun when they arrived. It is
believed that the hopeful tone of the
bulletin issued during Gambetta’s ill
ness was due to the advice of Dr. Char
iot, who did not wish the sick man,
when papers were read to him, to hear
anything that might have a depressing
effect on him.
HIS LAST WORDS.
He died in a state of unconciousness,
but in the afternoon he exclaimed, “Je
suis perdu. Ie est motile de dissimnler
mars lai tant lost.’’ It is useless to
disguise it but I have suffered so much
that death will be a deliverance.” His
death is like a thunder stroke to a be
wildered nation.
The Republic Francaise, of which lie
was proprietor appears in black but
gives no details of the final scene.
Messrs. Atiand, Proust and Aeclit were
present at his death bed. It is stated
that he left no political testament. He
made a private will on [Saturday. A
deep impression is produced here. Pa
pers reporting liis death are selling in
every street, and crowds are struggling
to procure them. Telegrams were sent
to President Gievy and other authori
ties immediately after the death of Gam
betta.
A stream of the most noted republi
cans is now through the death chamber.
The face of the deceased has already
become discolored, and is greatly
changed. This afternoon a man sell
ing copies of the newspaper, Leßadical,
containing a scurlous article concern
ing Gambetta, was seized by a crowd
on the boulepard, his papers were des
troyed, and the police had great difficul
ty in rescuing him from the excited pop
ulace.
TIIF. FUNERAL.
Paris, January I.—The funeral of
Gambetta will be conducted with pure
ly civil rites. The family are anxious
that the buvial take place at Nice, but
friends advise that it be at Paris. In
consequence of the high functions that
the deceased had filled, the authorities
have thought it expedient to place seals
on his papers. But few newspapers
have appeared to-day in consequencr of
its being holiday. None of the articles
published so far reflect on tlie political
effect of Gambetta.s death, but confine
themselves to deploring tlie loss of a
statesman who did not despair after
Sedan.
They need no board of pardons in
Kentucky, as the chief Executive dur
ing the past year lias pardoned up
wards of fifteen hundred criminals and
remitted fines to the amount of over
$2,000,900. From the way Governor
Stephens, of Georgia., is commencing
he will rank next among the Govern
ors that have such tender hearts as to
let base men and women free who have
forfeited the right to liberty under law
Such a course is prejudicial to the in
terests of a State, and will lead to bad
results, if continued.
