THE EXPRESS. Cedartown, June 13th J.JO. W. RADLEY Editor. he £xpr*88 has a larger circu- than any other newspaper published in the 38th Senatorial district Advices reoeivcd from Havana in dicate that the war in Cuba is at an end. Peace has been officially pro claimed. Senator Gordon is to deliver the oration at the decoration of the graves of the Confederate dead at Frederick, Md., in June. . The Free-masons of New York have resolved not to recognize any one as a Free-inason who denies the existence of a Supreme Being. The American Medical Association decided at their meeting in Buffalo, N. Y., to meet in Atlanta on the first Monday in May, 1879. Score another for ths Gate City. A dreadful disaster occurred in the English channel a few days ago, when two German iron-clad vessels collided resulting in the loss of four hundred lives. The life of the, Emperor William, of Germany seems to bo charmed. Twice curing the last month has he been fired at—the last time wounded seriously. Dr. Nobeling, a Socialist, lodged eighteen slugs in his body and arms. Great fears were enter tained of his recovery, blit the latest news is satisfactory. Ilis son has been appointed Regent of the Em pire. That was rather a sensational bunging of Edward Webb, a negro, at Mansfield, 0., the first of this month. The execution was to have been private, blit a crowd of 30,000 broke down the enclosures, tore away fencing and effected every means possible “to see the sight.” Several roofs gave in, the crowd upon them being so heavy. No violence was done tha body. The crowd only wanted to see, you know. The president has signed the bill forbidding the retirement of any more ‘green bnefifl. This i» another -point gained over the bond holders and will be of incalculable benefit to the coun try. The con traction ists had as well hang up now, for awhile, for light still continues to break and is begin ning to shed its rays upon the poor er classes; they have been in dark ness and poverty long enough. Now for another issue of greenbacks. The time will soon coino when it will be done. The ceremonies of unveiling the Andrew Johnson monument occur red last Wednesday week in the pres ence of 3000 people. His three chil dren had it constructed. From its description it is a fine one and will for; ages to come show our people whore the remains of one of our grest men lie. The only inscription on it is: Andrew Jounbon, Seventeenth President. of tho United States, Born Dec. SO, 1808, Died July 31, 18TB. His faith In the people Lever wavered* Postmaster General Key has a harmonious party and that’s some thing in the general politiqial con- fussion these dftya. Iiis party seems to consist only of himself, without any reasonable prospect of increas ing and be is likely to keep it har monious as long as he cau keep him- 1 self in harmony frith himself, lie may bo out-voted in the cabinet, in Congress and by the oountry at large, but the tranquility of his party un der his leadership is assured.—Phil adelphia Times, Governor Hendricks has been in terviewed concerning the Potter in vestigation. He regards the Presi dential question as irrevocably set tled unless it be shown that offices have been given by the President as rewards for their rascality in coun ting in Hayes; in the event of this then Hayes can and ought to be im peached. Governor Hendricks thinks this investigation will develop facts that were drowned oxxt while the 8 to 7 commission was in session. Gov ernor H. is sound, on that question, sure. The following significant manifes to has been issued by J, E. Bryant, Chairman of the State Executive Committee of the Republican party in Georgia: “We believe the party should be fully organized through out the State, and that a thorough canvass of each Congressional dis trict should be made by Re publican speakers. It may be lest in some districts to support Independent candidates; bat if this policy is deci ded upou it Should be by a Republi can Conventidii properlv called, and delegates fairly chosen.” The Seventh District. Nothing of importance will be done in this district until after the nmnltauting convention meets at Ringgold, July 4th. 'Several gentle men are spoken of as being the prob able nominee. Most prominent among whom are Mon. James Brown and Judge Geo. N. Lester. Either of these gent lemon if nom inated would make a capital race and if elected would servo the people faithfully and woll. They both have good records. Air. Brown served with distinction in the Constitution al Convention; Judge Lester is now a Superior Judge and is a good one. Tho Democratic banner would not suffer if either of these gentlemen be permitted to carry it; the truth is, an indwelling belief is entertained by a great many that Suoobss has been written on the walls of (he party ami that Dkpbat stares the opposition in the face. Whether this be so or not so, the. contest is going to be warm and spirited and we hope, in u fair-minded, liberal and honorable way by both parties, There is no use of bad blood being engendered. Tlie people may differ, and differ hon estly—let them so differ, but in the name of Peace, let the coming cam paign be conducted on a liberal scale, each party conceding the other a right to their opinions. Then wheth er we beat or are defeated, we will come out of the light with the con viction that wo did our whole duty as citizens and ns men. Commoncomant Week. Soon that all important day to the college graduate will have arrived. Oomm®ncementllnyl M Whab a chain of recollections does the mention of that word produce to tho older heads who have long sinooquitted the walla of their Alma .Wafer and have been busying themselves with the affairs of this life. Th&ir minds at. ones re vert to the days of their youth .u:ul the many pleasant, childish buoyant- spirited companions of the time. Many years, perhaps, have come and gone since then, y«*t the mere mention of Commencement Day, caus es the images of those old companions to Hash with electrical rapidity and appear as vividly us if it wero yester day. Sohool-boy and school-girl d^tjra are the happiest. They never are en joyed but once. They last too short a time. No one will confess their manhood days as free and quiet as their school days. Young folks do m-t appreciate their opportunities, ‘i.'hoy ' syein to think they never will gn>v old. Ah! could the boys and girls who may chance to read this article fully un derstand and appreciate the respon sible duties that await them on their debut into the bustling, busy world, they would not cast aside lightly the gayeties and pleasures, the friends aud friendships they now enjoy. The day is not far distant when they will come in conflict with other minds that know perhaps as much as they. There is a strange idea existing among young students. They live in a world all to themselves. They seem to think that they are the “king bees” of this world. It is natural. They can’t help it. They would not if they could. The world don’t blame them, for the world itself “has been there”. All were once young and the old are fully alive to the friv olities of youth. In all candor, we say to the boys and girls: “Go it while you are young.” We send greetings to all our old friends and college mates whereever they may be either in America or Europe find in their name, we desire to- wish our successors a happy, gay and joyful “Commence ment Day.” Last Sunday a week ago Dallas, in Paulding comity 1 , was the scene of a terrible outrage. Dr. Robinson had a negio employed by the name of Jo nah Gresham. Tho negro on Sun day morning applied to the doctor for some m'onty. On account of the doctor’s being confined to his bed from illness, he could not pay the negro anything. The negro becamo very much enraged and used insul ting language to Mr. RobinBon. The doctor endeavored to get up from his bed and resent the insult; the negro seeing him struck him with his fist. About this time the doctor’s wife carrle in and went to her husband’s rescue. As soon as she entered the room the beastly negro drew, out a knife and cut the lady on the breast and neck. Other members of the family rushed in to assist. We un derstand two other ladies were seri ously cut by the negro. He made his escape but has since been captu red. We are no advocates of lynch- law; but that negro deserves the worst punishment that could be in flicted/ Too .little regard is paid to life, in th s our day. Speculations on the Outcome ef Fraud invostigati n. Tho question is often asked, says the Mtfjfeippi Clarion, what Will fol low the th* investigation? Giving the true answer to the question the editor says: “Necessarily the solution of this inquiry will depend upon the testimony. If the proof is oleur that Air. Tilden and not Mr. Mayes re ceived- a majority of the votes of ei Iher Florida or Louisana, and that the majority of .one docluml for the hitter by tho electoral oommUsion was not obtained, it will ho" difficult to understand how Mr. Ilayes can rssisfc the moral pressure which will be brought to bear upon him to step down and out. And if it be estab lished that he did actually connive at or did have guilty knowledge of frauds by which the people were cheated in the election and their sov ereign right bartered away, impeach ment. for high, crimes and misde meanors will suggest itself as a natu ral consequence. But these ques tions ure not properly in order at this stage of the proceeding. The first duty is to investigate the char ges. Tho honor of tho nation is ut stake. The result must determine what is to follow. In the language of the Congressional Democratic ad- dress issued on the eve of the instal lation of Mr. Ilayes, ‘Lot tho crime be rnado so odious that the experi ment will not be again attempted of installing a usurper in the highest office within tho gift of tho people.” At Americas, Ga., a few days ago a deed was committed that bus but few parallels in this country, if in any country. A man named John W. Caldwell murdered his wife, three children and his wife’s sister. It is believed that the instrument us d was a smoothing iron and a grubbing hoe. One of his children ran under the house and escaped a similar death. After enacling the heart-rending tragedy, Caldwell jumped into a well near by; but this failing to kill him, he climbed upon the top of his gin house and fell head-long and broke his neck. Various causes are assign ed, but surely he must have been in sane. The Ilawkinsville, (Ga.) Dispatch relates one of the strangest incidents we have evJr n-ml. 1 Mr. William Player, of Wilcox ocunty, well known in llawkinsville, died last week, ills neighbors were assembled at his residence to prepare for the burial, and to aid tho family in paying the last tribute to the departed father. The corpse had been shrouded and laid out about six hours, and the members of the family were weeping and lamenting their loss, when the dead man arose to a sitting posture and began talking. Of course every body was frightened for awhile. Air. Player talked some time, and finally lay down quite (Toad. The burial took pluck at the appointed time, lie was a Universalist while living* and it was upon tins subject he talk ed after being laid out for tho coffin. J. ©. 'l^qlow^, SVoprietotf, !

Fremont was yesterday nominated by the Presi dent to be governor of Arizona. It was an eminently proper nomination. The name of General Fremont is as sociated with the birth and helpless days of the Republican party. The story of this man is a romance, full of picturesque points and features of human interest. Sanguine to a fault, noble in many respects, brave, pos sessed of generous impulses, connect ed with vast.enterprises, and once reputed to have vast wealth, the candidate for the Presidency of a little more than twenty years ago, is now in want, without having been dissolute. Ho who was once near being President of all .the United States is now glad to be Governor of one Territory. A Fact W jrth Knowing. Set a pitcher of ice water in a room inhabited and in a few hours it will have absorbed nearly all tho per spiration gasBes of the room, the air of which will become purer, but the water utterly filthy. This depends upon the fact that the water has the faculty of condensing and thereby absorbing temperature, a pint of wa ter will contain a pint of cathodic acid gas and several pints of ammon ia. This capacity is nearly doubled by reducing to that of ice. Hence water kept in a room awhile is al ways unlit for use; and should bo often removed, whether it has become warm or not. And for the same reason tho water in a pump should pe pumped out in the morning before any is used. That which has stood in a pitcher over night is not fit for coffee water in the morning. Impure water is as injurious to health as im pure uir, and every person should provide the means of obtaining fresh pure water lor our domestic use— [Exchange. pianos rars«acB.><*nooEMsa f.ioiurt’il.
