THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: MARCH 20, 1877.
A Romance hilReal Life.
Some years ago, says the Baltimore
.American, a young German came to
:this country and settldd in Baltimore.
: He was a pharmaceutist by profession,
:tand having a small capital at his com
mand, ho embarked in the drug
(trade, establishing himself in a store
on Federal Hill. He prospered in
bis business, and •being sing e and
without relatives in the city, he de-
itermined to marry. .'After a hasty
courtship he was united to ’ a Miss
Sack, the daughter 6ft a tinuer, living
then, as now, on German street, near
Eutavv. Previous to this marriage,
which came oft' about>five years ago,
the young German, with a view of
extending his businessvwrote to ,his
friends in Germany for money. Re
ceiving a favorable answer, authorize
ingthim-to draw for a certain amount
he deposited a draft for* 1,400 thalers
with the firm of MessrsJ-Kunmier &
Becker, bankers and brokers,
South street. This draft was paid
on sight, and the money was placed
to the credit of the young druggist,
Meanwhile the young man bad mar-
■ried, in which there was ^nothing un
usual; but when within > two days
: after, the ceremony the husbaed dis
appeared the matter was -etrange
. enough indeed. There wasvhowever,
a Philip Ray, as in the Enoch Arden
story of yore, who remained to sym>
ipathise with, and woo andvvwin the
Annie of this truthful story, and a
marriage followed in the course of
three , years. Meanwhile the firm of
iKummer .'i&jBecker held the-money
they had received from Germany,
subject to the order of the missing
man. One day the wife walked into
the bank and demanded the money
.which belonged *6o her husband.
This, of - course, : she could not have,
as she had hitherto had no connec
tion with the transaction, and what-
- soever claim she had for the money
was not {backed up by the necessity
legal right which would justify the
< Jinn in making the payment. The
j lady became, it is said, abusive, but
Hading that line of action to avail
•.nothing, accepted the
pointed out 4o her that the courts
; alone -could; place her in possession of
[the funds, and left. A week or so
-.afterwards she appeared again in the
(banking house, this time \wth an or
der from the proper authorities, and
upon giving her receipt for the
:.aniom»fc in full* the money was turned
• over, to her. The bankers then bah.
sauced their book*, and gave the raat-
-ter no further thought. Last Thurs
day among letters that came to the
bank Wfifc one leaving the postmark
rof Cincinnati. It bore the signature
of the missing bridegroom, who had
long before been counted as one who
( had joined ithe silent majority, and
about whose-death no.one entertained
.any doubt. IThis letter stated tliat
:for five yeans ,the writer thereof had
Watterson on Hayes.
All tout Bat Honor—The Straggle, the Trhraph,
the Sarrender—The Thorny Path for Kaye*.
The Republican party is a great
sinner, and lias withstood its destiny
a long • time, 1 do admit. But the
last four years have witnessed the
taking off of many of its guiltiest
leaders. Year aftef year they will
continue to come to grief In its
order the p'rty itself will fall, crush
ing those that remain with it in its
complete and filial wreck. I take
this “ on faith," and my faith is
strong and pure; faith in the great
creative principle of the universe,
faith in the free institutions, faith in
the people and faith in the future.
I have no faith in the violent method
proposed by some of our friends who
have grown warlike after the event
They remind me only of Swift’s Irish
Engineers:
When all is lost that’s worth defense
They build a magonine.
In this present battle all is knt -ex
cept our honor, the memory of our
struggle, the glory of our triiuqph,
the lesson of our surrender. If Mr.
Hayes is to come into the Presidency,
as coming in he is, I would not con
test his legal title to the office. I
would make no idle, factious outcry.
I would not block his way. But I
would let bim pass along, saying
merely, “ Sir, it is your turn to-day;
to-morrow, it may be another’s; let
those laugh most who laugh last.”
No man need fear a break in the
Democratic line. The South is par
ticularly unripe for plucking; neither
is it for sale. During ten years, it
has piled up proof of its capacity for
endurance. All this session, it has
given hostages to the fortune and the
North. To-day, it is standing by its
connt, a true exponent of fidelity and
peace. If Mr. Hayes sees fit to vary
the policy of national proscription
and military interference which has
characterized the administration of
General Grant, he will do a wise
thing for hitnself, a just thing for the
South, and a good thing for the
whole country. But the South pro
poses to ask nothing, to buy nothing
suggestion |«of him or those who shall rule with
him. The manner of his coming in,
builds a wall between his administra
tion and those embracing a great
majority of his fellow-citizens, who
preferred another. There can be uo
compromise with the Republican par
ty;, no compromise with the historic
eight. As Mr. Hayes may do the
righj, he will receive the commenda
tion <if good men; but this is not ex
pected of him, nor will it inure to
the benefit of his party or wipe out
the disgrace of his coming in. I fear
then if he be the liberal and conserva
tive man. he is said to be, he will not
long remain so. He belongs to a
party whose nature is changeless, and
it will, the/rather control him than he
it. The Democratic party lias but to
pick itself. «nt of the slough of de-
