A cotton factory . >ald be a great institution for Cartersviile. Col. A. T. Hackett resembles, in some respects, Dr. 11. V. M. Aliller. Mr. Z. B. Hargrove, "the Rome postmaster, has been in the city this week. Sunday was a full blown spring day. The sun shone as pleasantly as in April or]May. The grand jury presentments of last week as published in The Ex press is a well-written document. Col. T. G. Simms, of Atlanta, and Mr. Wm. Printup, of McDuffie county, were both in town last Sat urday. Prof. Teusler has removed from Rome to Kingston, He is one of the finest music teachers in the South. See his advertisement. The Ricks House billiard room un der the management of Mr. Har graves is now the most pleasant place of resort in the city. Dr. Baker came up on Saturday night and returned on Monday morning. He is one of the best working members of the House. Moses Smith was cleared of the charge of killing and skinning “speckled Buck” last week. The loss of the ox fell upon our friend J. B. Conyers. Col. Cooper is a vigorous old Sen ator for his age. He is willing to meet at 8 o’clock every morning, and work until eight at night, if neces sary.—Atlanta Herald. Col. W. H. Dabney aud Maj. R. T. Fouche', of Rome have been in at tendance upon our court the present week. They are two of Rome’s best lawyers and truest men. Now is the time to subscribe for The Eppress. It is the only week ly paper in Cherokee Georgia that gives a carefully condensed synopsis of the proceedings of the Legisla ture. When one of these old Cartersvilie bachelors sees a pretty woman pass he begins immediately to bite one end of his moustache, shift his chaw tobacco on ’tother side and meditate upon cold weather. Dr. John L. Hardman, a brother of Mr. George T. Hardman at the stove house of Mr. TANARUS, 11. Stall, died at Key West, Fla., on the 7th inst. Dr. Hardman was a native of this county. Col. Wofford made an amusing speech in the rape case on Tuesday evening, hut it was not more amus ing than able and pathetic for his client. He is an effective speaker before a jury. The Cherokee Railroad brought up 9000 pounds of copper ore from the new mine in Haralson county, on Monday last. This is the mine in which Col. Nutting, Mayor Huff and Mr. Ralston are interested. If the warm, genial, spring-like weather continues, we fear fruit will be scarce in these “diggins” next summer. Mr. John T. Owens laid amazon and apricot sprigs full of blooms, upon our desk this week. Our friends Dave Curry, Jim Sproull and Tom Roberts went down to Atlanta Monday night to witness the great JamesT. Raymond in “Col. Mulberry Sellers,” and their unanimous verdict is that “there’s millions in it.” We have just fitted up in a plain way an editorial sanctum where the friends of The Express will always find a welcome, either to chat when we have time or to read our exchan ges. The Democratic headquarters will be found in our sanctum, where all true Democrats —and we have no other kind in Bartow—may spend a leisure moment. A present of a beautiful rosebush cane, from Miss Lizzie Green, daugh ter of the late General Duff Green, to the venerabie Senator from the Forty-second District, who was a friend of her father’s before the birth of the present generation. The old gentlemen prizes the token very highly, as it will be of material as sistance to him in the downward road 4> the grave. —Atlanta Herald, 26 th inst. Homemade Boots and Shoes. Messrs. Moon & Trammell are making the cheapest boots and shoes ever put up in Car tersviile, audjthose who have tried their shoes say they are just the thing they have long been wanting. The Express ‘ Not in Bondage.” A gentleman sending us his name as a subscriber from Adairsville, makes the following truthful remark: “I am very well pleased with your paper—have become satisfied you are rot in bondage to any particular set of men, or the tool of any class of men to the injury of another class.” Our new subscriber will learn for himself how grossly we have been misrepresented from mercenary mo tives when he has tried our paper awhile. The Express will always be found honest and true to princi ple, the falsehoods of others to the contrary. BARTOW SUPERIOR COURT. The Grand Jury for the Second Week and Cases Disposed Of.

Our community was deprived last week of one of its brightest orna ments and most estimable charac ters —Mis. Charles B. Wallace. She came to Cartersvilie four years ago, a stranger to every one, hut soon won for herself that esteem which is the guardian of a refined Christian woman. Her life was a beautiful illustration of all the social virtues, anc a sweet incentive' to Christian duty. By seemingly untimely removal to the “better land,” an interesting household is desolated, a void made in the com munity not easily to be filled. There is to us something irrepressi bly sad and perplexiug tn the death of this wife and mother, leaving be hind her a husband and four little children. Periiaps even this will he cleared up by and by. The large procession on Saturday, as it wended its way to the cemetery, was a beau tiful tribute to her worth and a pleas ing token of sympathy jto the be reaved family. 11. P. Ford is the live grocer of which we have heretofoie spoken, aud any one trading with Henry, will find that he does uot adver tise anything but what he means. Public Schools. To the Editor of The Express: Much has been and is being said in reference to the public school sys tem. Asa teacher I have this to say—for a three month’s school worth about SIOO, I received from the school fund of last year $29.50. To make contract with the County Schpol Commissioner, and to make settlement went to Cartersvilie twice, a distance of twenty miles, the two trips costing me about $5. This de ducted from the amount received leaves $24.50, or about one-fourth of the tuition of three months —less than one month’s pay. Settlements with teachers cannot be made until late in the fall, when most of the farmers have disposed of the surplus of their farms, and the teachers must wait another year for their pay. Hence I say the public school law as now operated is a pub lic nuisance. I have conversed with several teachers in this community and all agree with me that the pub lic money that reaches us is so little that it does not pay to look after it. Too many officers’ salaries and prin ters’ hills. The money does not reach those who should have its benefits. Farmer. 11. P. Ford is now receiving a good lot o nails, horse shoes, and hoise shoe nails, which he proposes to sell at the lowest cost prices. , Our Tax Collector. The grand jury presentments pub lished in this issue of The Express pay a well deserved compliment to Mr. W. F. Corbin, our worthy and clever tax collector. He has collect . ed nearer all the taxes of the county, as we are creditably informed, than they have been collected during any year since the war. We are always glad to place on record complimen tary notice of public officers when deserved. Call and price Opera Flannels (plaids and 1 plains) belore buying elsewhere. N. Gilreath & Son. Death of Mn. J. W, Pritchett. While in Cartersvilie last week, we were pained to learn that Mrs. Pritchett had died a few days before. We saw her at her pleasant tiome in Cartersvilie about a week previous to her death, and little did we then think death was at the door of our esteemed friend, who was surround ed by a loving wife and happy children, and that the fond wife and mother was so soon to be his victim. Mrs. Pritchett was an accomplished and amiable lady, a pious member of the Baptist church, and much es teemed by a large circle of friends. -She leaves a little son four years old, by a former husband, and an infant son three months old; also a step daughter and son, to whom she was a kind and tender mother. Our kind friend, the bereaved husband, and his motherless children, have our warmest sympathias in their sad af fliction. May the hope of a restora tion in heaven of the loved and lost cheer them in the days of their mourning. The mortal remains of Mrs. Pritchett were carried to her forme** home in Sumter county, to s'eep until awakened by the trumpet of the last day. —Cherokee Geogian. Mrs. Pritchett had lived but a little more than a year in Cartersvii'e. During that time she had drawn around her a numberof firm friends. A few days before the fatal ill ness she had repeatedly expiessed herself as bemg supremely happy as to the relatives of this wo**!d. From the Line she w*as taken sick she felt a consciousness of early disso’uticn. Though it was sad to leave those she loved so well, she entertained no fear of death, but expressed her wdlingness to meet her Savior upon whom she reliantly *based her hope of a happy immortality. To the be reaved, comparative strangers to the writer, we extend our sincere condo lence. and trust they will become reconciled to the loss which w r e have every reason to believe was the gain of the departed. Mrs. Pritchett’s remains were car ried to Sumter county for interment. “Old Reliable.” The first number of the new vol ume of the American Farmer , for 1876, is received, and is a capital one in every respect. The mass of prac tical information in every branch of agriculture, in this single number, is worth far more to any inquiring far mer who is anxious to improve his land and his condition, than the year’s subscription. Space cannot he spared to enumerate the various pa pers offered in this initial number of the year; hut the reports from the agricultural club and other meetings, of successful modes of farming, will be found of peculiar interest, noming as they do from well-kuown practi cal farmers and horticulturists. The number of correspondents of this old journal, as shown in the copy before us, is very large, and includes letters from France and Germany, and from many of our own States, all giving the most improved methods of farming within their hounds.

The steamboat inspectors were busily engaged all last week and a part of this in investigating some al leged irregularities in the running of Ihe steamboats, and the conduct of some of their officers. What it re sulted in your deponent knoweth not, as the inspectors have not made their decisions known, but I suppose all was found right as the steamers continue to run as usual. The Superior Court adjourned last Saturday over to the fourth Monday in May, but the Judge will hear mo tions on Saturday next, and hear what some of our District Road Com missioners have to say for not keep ing their roads and bridges in good order. The Judge believes in good roads and safe bridges. Who blames him? The Judge sent three to the penitentiary, two whites and one black, and eight or nine to the chain gang. Judge Wright goes down to at tend your court this week. Look after him and see that he is well fed and return him as soon as he gets tb rough. General Tilton is improving and will soon be all right again. I. N. Horn stands as high and as straight as usual. Everybody in this section seems to be in favor of a Constitutional Con vention. A prominent man from Atlanta was here a few days ago, and said that the interest on the city debt there was sl9 per hour. Is this true ? If so the Atlanta papers should not have so much to say about the in debtedness of other cities. A. J. King is the coming candi date for the next Senator in this Sen atorial District. Col. W. H. Dab ney seems to be the choice of many. A better man could not be selected. Trade is good. Cotton still comes in from all quarters. The young folks will marry, and the old ones, too, when they take a notion to do so. Nobody blames them. Col. Samuel M. Carter w*as in the city this week looking after his steamboat interest, and seemed much pleased with the situation of affairs. Vegetation is coming out and plumbtrees are blooming. Judge Underwood has gone down to Atlanta to aid General Phillips in getting a SIOO,OOO appropriation for las railroad AOlll Marietta to Mor ganton, N. C. If he succeeds he should get General Phillips to assist him in getting a $50,000 appropria tion for the opening of the Etowah. There is as much reason for one as there is for the other, if not more so.' John A, Johnson, who has been very ill for some weeks past, is thought to be improving. There is a move on foot to build another boat to ply the Oostanaula and Coosawattee rivers. The U. S. mail will be put upon the river on and after the first day of July next. Hew by, Southern Shirt Manufajtury. One of the enterprises that com mends itself the Southern public is the shirt factory of E. F. Shropshire & Cos., of Atlanta. We have exam ed some of their work and take pleas ure in saying it is not excelled iu quality or style by that of any other establishment in the country. The proprietors arc gentlemen of the ut most reliability, and those desiring handsome, well-made shirts will do well to send their orders or leave them with Mr, S. H. Patillo, who will take measures. Buff Cochii.a. W e have received a pair of buff cochin chickens from Mrs. Thos. J. Perry, of Rome, that are exceeding ly fine. She is an extensive poultry raiser, and makes the light Brahmas and huff cochins a speciality, and have the finest in Cherokee Georgia. Asa proof of this she always takes the premium wherever she exhibits them. They are a large fowl, and good layers. If any one wishing to get the pu*e breed and on good terms we would recommend them to her. Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton, A correspondent of the Covington Star thus speaks of the Ohio states man : The Hon. George 11. Pendleton of Ohio, the great Democratic champion of the North west, has been sojourning in Augusta for several weeks past, stopping at the Planters’ Hotel. He is detained longer than he otherwise would he, on account of the lllnes of his daughter. He has made a most favorable impression upon the gen tlemen of our city, and many of them do not hesitate to join with some of the leading journals of the nation in pronouncing him the man for the next President of the United States. There is hut little doubt about his being the strongest man in the nation whoso aspirations are tending to ward the Presidency. Perhaps not as popular, hut certainly more solid than Bayard. A morning or two since,during a vis it which he was kind enough to make to our office, your correspondent had the pleasure of hearing him converse for quite awhile upon the affairs of the country. A few days ago, as Mr. Hill was returntng to Washing ton city, he stopped an evening at Planters’ Hotel, where he met Mr. Pendleton. Those who had the rare privelege of hearing those two great men discussing, in ordinary conver sation, the present political condition of our country, surely can never for get it. Mr. P. travels considerably, keeping Augusta all the time his headquarters. Women Lawyers.— Under the head of “Statistics of Women Law yers” it is stated that “in 1869 Mrs. Mansfield was admitted to the bar of lowa and miss Barkaloo was admitted to the bar of Missouri; that in 1872 Mrs. Nash was admitted to the bar of Maine and Miss Ray was admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia, and that Miss Golden has applied for admission to the bar of lowa. There are two women lawyers in the Dis trict of Columbia’ one of whom is in frill practice before the courts of the District. GEORGIA LEGISLATORE. Eleventh Day— Monday January 24, 1876. SENATE.

The following are extracts from the speech of Mr. Banks in Congress on the 13th in regard to the amnesty bill then under discussion: Therefore, sir, I do not hold either that the President of the United States is responsible for all or any acts of his subordinates, no matter how near he may have been in con nection with them, nor how closely they may be allied to him by friend ship or political relationship; nor do 1 hold Air. Davis responsible for ev erything that occurred under the gov ernment of which he assumed to be head. In regard to the atrocities at Andersonville and elsewhere, I dis miss from all consideration the dec larations, arguments, aspersions, criminations and recriminations which for a week past 1 have heard so constantly in this chtimlter. Ido not doubt that the soldiers of the Confederacy may have suffered in the North, nor do I doubt that the sol diers of the North may have suffered in the South. It was incident to the condition of things. For the guilty, whoever they may be, I pray for giveness; for the suffering, whoever they may have been, I invoke the blessing of God; for the crimes them selves, I say let the earth hide them. Let us shut them out of sight. (Ap plause on the Democratic side.) There is one thing, Mr. Speaker, which is especially designed by all the people, and that is peace, general peace, peace in all sections, with all parties, classes and races.

Babcock has engaged no less than eight lawyers. This would seem to show a poor sinner in as bad a con dition morally as the patient, phys ically, for whom so many doctors are called. It is announced that 515 passengers will leave Catiz on the 81st inst as Spain’s contribution Philadelphia Centenial. Thrt is certainly an indi cation that Spain does not anticipate hostilities with the United Stetes. Capt. James B.

The tonnage employed in the whale fishery of the United States is 38,883, and the number of vessels 168 with a tonnage of 207,339iu 18- 54. Brigham Young has ordered that balls and parties given in the ward school houses shall begin at one o’clock in the afternoon and close at ten in the evening, and has prohibit ed round dances. One thing is sure: If the sentiments of Blaine are accepted and approved by the north, the centenial exposition is no fit place for southerners. — Char leston News Calib Cushing, who recently cele brated his 76th birthday, has not suf fered an hour’s sickness during the two years he has been in Spain as United States minister.
