CEDARTOWN RECORD. W. S. D. WIKLE St 00,, Proprietor*, CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1S76. VOL. III. NO. 1. TIMELY TOPICS. I'm: recent assurance of General Bhor- wan Hint tin* Indiana would not lx* id ^«rd “to kill or scalp” the white ittidcra on their ntirifcrotia domains nt Hhu k Hills kyms wnreely to l*e jus- tilird by the sequel. A despatch brings the news Hint the Nebraska and Dakota fr'ioit-x are most of them on the war-path, •>vi:u a billion cigars wav consumed Austria during the year 1875, equal • me hundred and two for each peroon the male sox in the entire populntic This enormous quantity was exceeded DT I, when the figures footed tip sixty millions more. Hard times hav some jieoplo to forego smoking. A singular murder case is (x'lidiug at the t’udapah sessions, in India, which the accused, lxdng assured by n juggler that be could shoot at him with a loaded musket without the slightest tear of hurting him, took him at his won! nnd finsl. The luill |>cnetrated the jug glee’s brain, killing him instantly. Major Thomas Butler and (ten. William O. Butler, the only two living membera of (Jen. Jackson’s staff Jwlio were present at the battle of New Or I'miis, live near Carrollton, Ky. Majoi llntler is eighty-seven and (Jen. Hutler eighty-six years of age. The latte candidate for vice president on the dem ocratic ticket in 1848 Thk death of Alxlul Aziz by hi: hand is thv last act in the drama which Is gan with his overthrow. Diiven from I stiver through the agency of his own nephew and'trusted friends; deprived ol his treasure, and treated as a prisoner in his own capital, it is not surprising that llio disgraced ruler sought relief in death. Humors were current that his mind was deranged. These rc|x»rts re ceive credence in the official account of (he tragic deed which has l»eeii sent to Washington. His death is,not likely to efleet seriously the affairs of Turkey. His overthrow was complete, and the probability of his heading a rovolt was very right. A wording to an exchange, the Pope’s rtdx’s are made either of white cloth m °f red cloth. Pius IX uses five white cassocks in the course of the year, as, owing to his lx*ing an inveterate snuff taker, he hooii discolors his outer gar ments. Each cassock costs $50. The red mantle which he renews once a year costs $100. 'I’he silk stockings aro fur nished by a Belgian house for $1(1 a pair, but hisslipixTs, which are changed every month, aro furnished by a Homan firm. An ordinary pair, embroidered with the cross, is worth $2.7, but some of the papal slippers cost as much as $200, the cross lieiug inlaid with diamonds. The old, cast-ofl clothing of the Pope is highly prized by the faithful, who eagerly buy it at a great price. 'flip. Turkish revolution was a conspir acy of the ministers to get rid of a sul tan who had yielded more to foreign in fluence than the pure and unadulterated inuHsuImans could quietly allow. It is the mad protest of the conservatism of the Mohammedan Turks against Furo- l*ean reforms nnd every sort nnd kind of foreign intervention except that which loans money on a promise of interest that is never to l*c paid. The, now sultan is anti-Hussian in his prejudices and ten dencies, and while he can s|x*ak French nnd has some knowledge of western Eu ropean affairs in? is more likely to form a Franco-Englisli alliance than one in which Hussia has a leading voice. But ihe situation of Turkey is critical, and Murad Kffcndi will Ik? compelled to let what he would wait on what he must with the moral certainty of being shoved a*ide as suddenly m and as remorselessly as Abdul Aziz one of those fine mornings.

(Icorgo Band died on tho 7th at l’a c was cniiHciouH to the. last, hut unable speak for Home time before death. t is officially announced that a report been drawn up and signed hv nlnetei physicians of the diflerent initionalitlc which certifies that the death of Abdul Aziz ultcd from the opening of the veins and crict of his arms. It is stated that tho Servian army onsistof one hundred and twenty-five thou- nd men, besides about ten thousand mill- i, and that Hervia is convinced that war is moral necessity. Correspondents write stating that "a Servian war against the Turks v more certain than anything el the world.” To take a portrait of tho mikado of Japan is punishable by compulsory knri. That's what's the matter with a party of Yankee photographers in Jeddo. They procured ail interview with the inikky, and while some interviewed him the other "took” him. They quickly found themselves inside a Japanned "jug,” and it is taking all the American minister's spare time to ex plain the nflitir and save the sons of photo from unloading their viscera according to law. M. GambcUa, as president of the French bndget commission, is trying to se cure a reduction of the army estimates, but he is met by a large majority of the cham ber of deputies who possess th« ancient en thusiasm of Frenchmen for an immense army. It may he that France will he.drawn into tho culminating European complica tions, but if the government possesses wis dom it will prcler that France’s honor shall consist in keeping the peace rather than in "seeking the bubble reputation at the can non's mouth” in defending the decayed Turk or in following the old hjmu Jut urn of Egypt. It la not likely that France will he very quick to help England, if that power chooses to enter into a contest with Russia, as England deserted France in the German onslaught of 1870. The French army is in u fair condition, if thcountry is forced into a war. It consist of: Infantry, 282,044 men ; cavalry, 00,011 men; artillery, 51,038 men; engineers, 0,000 men; men of train, 8,000; altogether about 410,000 effective troops, be sides 30,000 gendarmes nnd 14,000 on the general staff, sanitary corps, etc. Ml WKLLA N KO I’N. ? The bust train from New York to San Franaisco in eighty-four hours went through twenty-six minutes within time. The fastest time made was seventy-two miles an hour on short run*. Government receipts for the fiscal year ending with June, arc estimated ns follows: Freni customs, $116,027,500; inter nal revenue, $115,008,507; miscellaneous, $231,085.31; total, $280,247,387. Expendi tures were $263,138,852. Surplus, .June30th, $21,108,534. Receipts show a decrease from the estimates—in customs, $10,280,070; in internal revenue, $1,151,210, and show an Increase of $3,148,549 in the miscellaneous. Expenses are $5,308,090 inside the estimates. passed, and on some of those now in p the diflbroneea of opinion between the houses seem almost irrconuchthlc. There are many other hills of importance also cer tain to cause long debate.

Tho total gold coinngo for tho month of May, as appears from reports received hy Dr. I.itulcrmniii the director of flic mini, was $3,170,100; trade dollar coinage, $318,100; subsidiary silver coinage, $2,190,105; minor coinage, $12,475; total number of picccN struck, 10,215,031; total value of the coinage, $5,000,840. This is regarded as a very large coinage. The mints will close forthc annual settlement about the 15th lust., and remain closed about two weeks. After the resump tion of operations, subsidiary coinage, it is probable, will he at the rate of three millions per month. Of the amount during May, 5,- 757,518 pieces, representing $1,801,680, were Coined at Philadelphia; 2,001,000 pieces, re presenting $3,814,000, at Han Frnnoisno, and 1,797,110 pieces, representing $581,160, at CONGRESSIONAL.

Mr. Bokor bus hud spoelnl opportuui ties for becoming acquainted with tho truo inwardness of tho eastern question, as well f rom his rosidoneo at Bt, Peters burg— where, as we nil know, tho a flit I rs of the “sick man" are regarded with a peculiar tender Interest—as though his sojourn at the metrojHiIisof the Ottoman empire as our minister to Hint nation previous to his appointment to tho Utts siau mission. I met Mr. linker at his favorite resort, tho aristocratic Philadelphia club, of which ho was long time president, his natural affability not. at all disturbed hy indulgence in one of tho famed dinners of tho club. Beating himsolf beside tho poet and diplomat began an interest ing and pleasant conversation concerning hisaliservations in tlm land of tho eroscont and the recent rovol lit Ion which cost Abdul Aziz his throne. Ho was not surprised nt tlm transfer of tlm reins of power from the hands of the latter to those ofMu rad Eflbli di. A year before he left UoiistnutinoJUo aluml a year since, tho probability of m. ♦itrlguo to bring about such a chango was freely talked of and regarded with general favor. A lulu I Aziz Imd long boon extremely unpopular, and was exe crated by the people with very little fear of the consequences of thoir blas phemy of their prophet's successor. “A year and a half ago,” wild Mr. Boker, “ I made a trio through tho interior, ami found this feeling oven more intensified and more openly expressed than in Con- stnnlinopln. The condition of tlm coun try was fearful, industries of all kinds prostrated, tlm people ground to tlm very dust hy the heavy taxes, everything at a standstill, aud everywhere Abdul Aziz was bitterly cursed as the author of all their ills." A New Movement A mo.su the Jkwh. —There is a movement on foot among the ultra-reform Jews of New York to hold religious services on Sunday morn ings for the convenience, and profit of those who do not attend services on Sat urday. A numlierof tho prominol incm- lu-rs of tlm Temple Emmanuel and Tem ple Bethel are organizing a society for this purpose, and propose to hire ('nick ering hall f«r a place of meeting and to engage Dr. Felix Adler, of Cornell uni versity, a son of Rev. Dr. Adler, late ol the Tomnlo Emmanuel, as lecturer. It is intended to have the services consist of a lecture and music by an organ and choir. The orthodox Jews arc extreme ly opposed to the project, regarding it as a |K)Ssihle first step towards the substitu tion of Sunday for the Jewish Sabbath, and the engagement of Dr. Felix Adler, who is known to Is* aj leader of the ex treme reform party, is taken as earnest of an intention in that direction. The orthodox party have started a weekly newspaper of a general religious charac ter to counteract the teachings of tho ultra-reformers, and to prevent, if possi ble, tho organization of Jewish religious services on Sunday.—N. Y. World. When men receivo information that they may possibly lie among the heirs of some deceased rich man, they immedi ately become interested and go to work searching all the family records to de cide the matter. When God tolls men that thev may become “joint-heirs with our Lord Jesus Christ,” “to an inheri tance incorruptible, undefiled and un fading." they listen to it as idle talcs, or complain of the tediousness and style of him whom God sends to toll them about it.— Church lIn ion.

Mr. Boker did not holiovoj howovor, that the situation would he at all im proved under tho new sultan. Tho fault Is in the system of the government and not in the man. Murad hud been adopted by the now Turkish uni ty as a sort of figurehead or standard, around which to rally ns a defiant point, and personified sentiment to catch the national feeling, lie Imd never impressed him as a man of special ability or strength of charactor. THE NEW TURKIHli BAUTY. A leading mind In tho recent revolu tion was Midlint Pnshn, really the chief of the now Turkish party of which Mu rad JCffi'iidi was ihcostoiiBihlo representa tive. Midhill 1'tuiha was formerly grand vizier, hut Attempted some reforms in the sultan’s private a flairs which soon brought him into disgrace. The fact is, there is no chance for tho Hill tan to effect reforms in tho govern ment ns at present constituted, even if ho (iohhoshch the will and ability to at tempt them. There is no oosibility of an improved condition until there is a radical change in the system, of govern ment and until the Hiiltan takes an ac tual pari in it, as ho does not now. He Ih really tho head of the Mohammedan faith, the descendant of the prophol, a sort of grand llama, who !h almost deified nnd iH altogether too sacred a being to descend to tho consideration of tho tem poral nlfiiirs of the nation ho is supposed to govern. The grand vizier is the ac tual ruler, nnd governs as the servant of the sultan. The latter has nothing to do with the details of government, uml does not even preside at the meetings of thu ministers, lie is thus in utter ignorance of what is going on in his dominions, mid it is to sco what nhuses aro possible, in fact inevitable, untlor such a system. AH TO THK HOI'TAH, who have played so prominent a part in the revolution, they aro simply a reli gious caste—theological student*, they might ho called, embracing all classes and Hiijqwirtcd from the immense reve nues or the mosques. They are in prep aration to outer the Mohammedan priest* IihoiI, and their reputed sanctity gives them a large influence with the fanati cal populace. Acting with them were numbers, of Hie lower order of pricslH, whose influence is in projKirtion to their ignorance and fanaticism. Their leader, nhoik-iil-Islam, signifying tho head or chief of Mohammedanism, Is tho spiritual head of the nation under the Hiiltun, as the grand vizier is tho tom- jmral head, hut like the latter is subject to removal by the sullmi. Backed by the Kof'las, and boltliul them by the min isters, however, Bheik-ul-Islain was able to first compel the sultan to radical con cessions anil finally to demand his abdica tion. THE TURNING POINT reached when tho sultan refused to assist tho country in its desperate flnan- iai strait out of his immense private re- ources, wrung as this money had been rom impoverished labor. The means by which lie accumulated this immense sum of $100,000,000, in the condition of tho country, was characteristically oriental. When ho desired a cot tain sum of money lie would order the grand vizier to fur nish it forthwith. No excuse was ac cepted for failure, and if not speedily forthcoming the grand vizier was at oneg disposed. Consequently his grand viziers wore accustomed to keep lum in a good humor by constant gifts of money which they wore bound to obtain, no mutter how, from an overburdened and bankrupt people. There is no system in process, no books or vouchers, and budget is a mere sham, in which no ono has any confidence. little six-year-old boy went into the country on a visit.
