Address S. A. CUNNINGHAM.
Senator Hill of this State is a mem
ber of the following committees:
Privileges and Elections, Foreign
Relations, To Audit and Control the
Contingent Expenses of the Senate,
and Revolutionary Claims.
Old man Cameron is in a had fix,
Mrs. Oliver “gave him away” com
pletely on the witness stand last
Wednesday, by showing letters writ
ten by him and to him. “The way
of the transgressor is hard.”
The great multitude who love
(Jordon, not only in Georgia, hut
Carolina, and throughout the whole
Union, feel much solicitude during
his illness. The pains from which
he suffers—acute rheumatism —have
been very severe. He has passed the
crisis.
The assistant sergeant-at-arms of
the Tennessee Legislature could not
stand the racket of that august body.
The State debt and “local option”
bills upset the poor fellow’s mind
and made him a first class lunatic.
He is now under the treatment of a
physician.
Walker county, (Ga.) has offered a
reward of s2<3o for the capture of
Brad Redden, who murdered Sheriff
Mize, of that county, not long since.
This, added to the S3OO offered by
Governor Colquitt, makes s.>so. The
mur erer is thought to by lurking
in the woods, near Alpine, Chattooga
county, Gi. —Chattanooga Times.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is
making a splendid record iu the
United States Senate. The Charles
ton News and Courier says “he is
the only man from the South who
has been able to hold his own with
Edmunds, Conkling and Blaine.”
Mr. Morgan is a native Tennesseean,
as,also is his colleague, ex-Governor
Hunter, the new Senator from that
State.
l)r. Chas. M. McKnight, of the
iate Simmons liver medicine com
pany, died in Texas on .the second
instant, of consumption. The dis
ease laid grasp on him some years
ago, but he resisted with much vig
or, and had hope of ultimate recov
ery, but like a thief in the night, it
was stealthy* when he did not look
for it. We sympathize with his
family in their great loss.
Miss Vashli Longfellow, of Ohio,
engaged to marry Jno. A. Smith.
He went West, and at the time they
were to he married, he “could not
leave his business,” so the parents
consented to let their daughter
marry by telegraph. This is the
most m xlest way. Yet, while “there
is nolhing in a name,” most parents
would prefer a little less common
name under such circumstances.
However there was an A in the
name, giving a little variance.
The Mexican minister, SenorZi
macona, was on ’Change in St. Louis
a few days since and stated, iu his
reply to the address of welcome by
the president, that Mexico was anx
ious of establishing more intimate
commercial relations with the Uni
ted States.
Mexico lias many products largely
consumed in this country, and con
sume? much of our own produce, and
we should be glad to enter into such
measures as will promote our own
interests and be conducive to our
welfare. A reception will be given
at the hail of the Merchants’ Ex
change this evening, when the min
ister will deliver an address on the
commercial interests of Mexico.
Gen. John S. Williams, Mr. M-c
Creery’s successor in the United States
Senate, is a man of great original abili
ty. His election created great en
thusiasm throughout Kentucky and
his j 'UT'iey from the capital to
liis home after the result was reach
ed was one continued ovation. He is
fifty—i iglit years of age. He early ess
poused the law, but took part in the
Mexican war, where his gallantry in
action won him distinguished honors.
Here he acquired his title of ‘‘Old
.Cerro Gordo.” During the late war
he was appointed to a command of
cavalry, and operated in Eist Ten
nessee, Georgia and Kentucky. Af
ter the war he was pressed for the
nomination for governor, but was
defeated in convention by a small
vcfte and was in tire Senatorial light
of two years ago the principal com
petitor of Hon. James B. Beci.
About the year 1820, Mr. Birch
of Elbert county, was convicted of
hors -stealing and sentenced to be
hung, according to the laws of that
day. The appointed time arrived,
the culprit was on the scaffold and
only a few minutes intervened un
til the all important period to
him—of swinging into eternity—
would arrive, when a courier, on
panting steed, brought a reprieve
for the condemned man. Great eon
fusion ensued, and the liberated
man, who seemed to have been
snatched from death fainted upon
the spot. So great was the transition
from de< pest gloom and shame to
life, friends and an opportunity to
- vThdTcTte' himself, that complete
prostration ended his life befote the
close of the same day. His charac
ter, hitherto spotless, suffered no
lack of lu-tre from the terrible
cruicible. Subsequent proof clear
ed him of ad complicity in the
matter. A family of honorable chil
dren grace his native home, a fur
ther preof of liis unflinching integ
%y and blight and example.
THE COHHG TBIIL OF COX.
Be it said to the honor of Georgia
that not a single intimation of lynch
law has been given against Mr. Cox.
Yet, it is conceded that he commit
ted one of the most delilierate acts of
murder, a prominent and noble
man being his victim. It is not at ail
surprising that such is the case. It
could not have t*een argued in this
case “that the people must of neces
sity take the law into their own
hands.” S> far, the people have
acted well in this mUter. Now will
procrastination of the Cox trial “un
til feeling has died” he allowed as an
argument to the outlaws of the
country? Surely this is an op|ortu
nily to vindicate the law. Let it be
done. Let Mr. Cox be tried without
delay, and let the penalty of the law
be enforced.
In this we do not plead for capital
punishment, but that the law be so
applied as to teach outlaws a lesson.
JEWISH COLONIES
A scheme is on foot in New York
to form a Jewish colony iu the west.
About fifty families have recently
arrived from Hungary and other
European countries who are poor and
unable to emigrate without aid and
assistance of some kind, consequently
the movement has engrossed the at
tention of the wealthier classes, and
it is believed some measure will at
once be adopted to further the plan,
which is without doubt a good one
for the west. We know of no class
of people better fitted for building
up and developing anew country
than the Jews, with their untiring
energy and ceaseless industry.
“DO.VT GO THEBE.”
A Democratic exchange, in giving
an account of some lawless act near
Waco, Texas, volunteers the advice
quoted above. It is certainly, with
out reflection. Surely the people of
the South know that it is just as safe
to be in Waco as in Atlanta or Nash
ville. It is well to remember that
people are very much the same in
all this country. The large majority
in every section are at heart true to
“the Golden rule.” New England
ers will find this the sentiment at
the South.

is thoroughly capable. The Inde

March 18, says: The Tariff Commis

THE TOBACCO TAX.
Provisions in the Internal Revenue Bill of
Interest to Dealers.
Tlie following from the Nashville
American gives, correctly, the provi
sions of the new law concerning
taxes ott tobacco :
The internal revenue bill, passed a
few days since hy Congress, makes
some very import mt changes in the
revenue laws of the country. It is
made h misdemeanor for a collector
or deputy collector to issue any
stamps before payment in full has
been made. The powers of internal
revenue agents are increased. They
are clothed with po vers ofentry and
examination the same as other offi
cers of the internal revenue. The leg
islation relative to the manufacture
of whi-ky takes up a large portion of
the bill. A resume of that part of
the law regarding tobacco is given as
follows :
The tax on tobacco in all forms,
manufactured and otherwise, which
includes snuff, and upon all substi
tutes for tobacco, is fixed at sixteen
cents per pound. Every dealer in
leaf tobacco shall make daily entries
in two books, one to be furnished by
the Givernment, the number of
pounds of leaf tobacco purchased or
received by him in any way, from
whom received or purchased, the
number of pounds sold or shipped
and the names of the persons to whom
sold or shipped. Oae of these
books shall be kept at his place of
business, open at all hours for the in
spection of any internal revenue of
ficer or agents. All fine cut chew
ing tobacco and nil kinds of tobacco
not otherwise provided for shall be
put up in packages containing one,
two, three, five, eight and sixteen
ounces, except that fine-cut tobacco
may at the option of the manufac
turer, be put in wooden packages
containing ten, twenty, forty and
sixty pounds each.
The existingcondition that no cigar,
manufacturer shall employ a person
that is not a duly registered cigar
maker in 1 lie manufacture of cigar
is removed.
Cigars shall be packed in boxes
not before used for that purpose, con
taining respectively 23,50, 100, or
500 cigars each, and into no other
form or numbers ; provided that to
retail dealers, upon s itisfactory evi
dence, allowance may be made tor a
redemption made of stamps issued
which may be spoiled, destroyed or
rendered useless, or which through
mistake may have been improperly
or unnecessarily used, or where the
rates of duty represented thereby
have been in any manner wrongfully
collected.

Correspondence Atlanta Constitution.
There are times when a man don’t
feel like doing anything but brood
over trouble —not his own trouble, ,
hut trouble and grief and want and
sorrow generally; when he it els his
helplessness and that of everybody
else in the eff rt to keep the man
kind at peace; when he sorter gives
it up that the wotld is growing
worse instead of better, and neither
law nor gospel nor newspapers can
stop folks from shedding one am til
er’s blood, and bringing sorrow that
cannot be described unto the widow
and the orphan ; when some terrible
thing happens which caunot be
remedied, its a shade of comfort to
sit still and ponder and be sad. I
reckon that’s what old Solomon
meant when he said “it is better to
go to the.bouse of mourning than the
houseof fasting.”
Once I heard Judge Dougherty,of
Athens, asking Mr. Griffin, of Gaines
ville, what great- change had come
over him that made him so sileut
and sad. “Why,” said he, “after
I was grown I spent about fifteen
years in an earnest effort to make
everybody happy and live iu peace
with one another. I tried to stop
all wrangling and to reconcile ene
mies, and I was the umpire in hun
dreds of disputes;but oue day I got
to reflecting on what I had accom
plished in reforming society, aDd it
amounted to nothing. People went to
law the same as ever, aud every
quarrel I settled broke out again
soouer or later—soon I became diss
gusted and quit. If they won’t hear
Moses and the prophets they won’t
hear me.”
Well, if we cau’t do anything we
can mourn with those who mourn.
If one touch of nature makes the
whole world kin,so do the streams of
smypathy spring up in a thousand
breasts when a great sorrow over
takes and crushes down a fellow mor
tal. Even hearts case-hardened
aud crusted over with iron rust will
throb, and the hidden fountains of
tenderness break loose. Many folks
seem rougher than they are anyhow,
and I always feel like drawing close
up to a man who looks a paiu and
heaves a genuine sigh for anoth
er’s grief. We quarrel and fuss a
good deal with each other about
things of no great consequence, but
that don’t signify. Its no sign of a
brute. Ive seen brothers do that
but there was an under-current of
fraternal love which was shore to
bubble up when danger or trouble
come in sight. Some families are
very much like the old man and
his wife who were having a little
chronic seritnage of their own and
when a peky nabor interfered to
keep the peacethey joiued forces aud
had like to have beat him to death.
I reckon there’s no chance of stop
ping murder and bloodshed in this
sin-cursed world. Maybe there
wouldu’t be quite so much of it if pis
tols were abolished, hut to my opin
ion as long as men grow up with un
subdued passions they’l do some devil
ment when occasion comes. If Cain
killed Abel with a club when the
Lord was close by, what else can we
expect of bad people when He is ao
fur off? I remember when nobody
carried pistols, for there were none tw
carry. The generals and colonels
of the Georgia militia did have some
great big ones about foot and a half
long, which they carried in holsters
hung on the pommel of the saddle as
they traveled around to the general
musters, and a few bloods had a case
of duelling pistols, which they kept
sorter hid out and exhibited once in
a while to personal friends ; but
these little new fashioned repeaters
and revolvers and self-cockers that
everybody and the niggers carry
now a-days hadn’t been invented and
I wish they hadn’t as yet—not that
I am afeerd of anybody shooting uie
with malice afore thought, but they
occasion so many accidents that 1
don’t want one in a hundred yards of
me or my folks. 1 don’t see much
sense in carrying them concealed for
you can’t call it concealment when
you know that a feilow has got on#
under his coat-tail. In quarrelin
with a man its reasonable presump
tion that he’s got one and that you’ve
got another, and it don’t make any
difference whether its concealed or
not. If he didn’t have e he can
step in a store and get one mighty
quick if he wants to kill you, or he
can get a shot-gun, like they used to
do in old times.
WHY WILLIAM SfIARP WP,XT TO BED
The passion of love often reacts
strangely on undisciplined iniuds,
and frequently produces orj them
the most unlooked-for results. At
Keithley, at the beginning of the
present century, lived a young man,
William Sharp. lie fell desperately
in love with a girl, the daughter of a
neighboring farmer. Everything
went on smoothly till the wedding
morning, when the farmers could
not agree how much to give the
young couple to start them in lif© ?
and literally at the last moment in
church tli© match was broken off.
This was too muqh for the weak
mind of William Sharp; he went
home, went to bed, and never rose
from it again. He wasjust 30 when
he tkus isolated himself from ac
tive life, and died in his bed at the
age of 75. His room was about nine
feet square. The floor was stone,
and generally damp. The window
was permanently fastened ; some of
the panes were filled iu with wood;
and at the time of his death it had
not been opened for 38 years. In
this dreary cell did this strange being
immure himself. IleP obstinately
refused to speak, and gradually all
trace of intelligence faded away.
His father left an ample provision
for his eccentric son, and he was
well looked after. He ate as much
as au ordinary day laborer, and at
his death weighed above 16 stone.
In Harrogate, several years ago,
lived a woman who for the same
cause behaved iu exactly the same
manner. Her parents having pre
vented her marriage with a worth
less character, she took to her bed,
and had kept it for 15 years, and if
not dead, is probably keeping it
still.—C hamher*' Journal.

Ci&BTMC PISTOLS.
A Georgia Judge's Way ef Faferriag the
Law.
Nashville American.
Our reform Ise-gi-dntura, among the
many good things that it proposes to
do for the people, is trying. I believe,
to amend the law in reference to car
rying pistols. A prominent Geor
gian told me an incident th-- other
day that may lx.- f interest, and
which he as.-ures me actually incur
red :
Georgia has a stringent pistol law. ,
The penalty is forfeiture of the pis
tol, a tine of fifty dollars and, at the j
discretion of the court, imprison
ment for thirty days. A short time
after this law went into effect, Judge
Lester was holdiug court in one of
the mountain counties of North Geor
gia,and right in the midst of the
trial of a cause, he asked the attor
neys to suspend a few momeuts, and
told the sheriff to lock the court
house door and let no man pass with
out permission from him. Then
said the Judge, in a firm, decided
way, ‘"Gentlemen, I saw a pistol on
a man in this room a few moments
ago, and I cannot reconcile i t to my
sense of duty as a peace officer to let
such a violation of the law pass un
noticed. It may be that it Is my duty
to go before the grand jury and in
dict him, but if that man will walk
1 up to this stand and lay his pistol
and a fine of one doilar down here, I
will let him off this time, otherwise
; I will go before the grand jury and
testify against him.”
The Judge paused, and an attor
ney who was sitting down just before
thestand got up, slipped his hand
in his hip-pocket, drew out a neat
ivory-handled Smith & Weston six
shooter and laid it and a dollar down
before the Judge.
“This is all right,” remarked the
Jndge, “but you are not the man that
I saw with the pistol.”
At this another attorney, sitting
immediately in front of the Judge,
got up and drawing out a dollar bill
laid it and his pistol upon the stand.
“This is right again,” said the
Judge, “but you are not the man I
speak of.”
Thereupon, a large man, just out
side of the bar, walked around, ran
his hand in his bosom and drawing
out a huge army pistol, laid it and
a dollar billon thestand.
“I declare,” exclaimed the Judge,
“i( this don’t beat all ; you have
done right m y friend, but you are
not the mats that I saw with the
pistol.”
This process went ou until nine*
teen pistols and nineteen dollars were
lying|on the Judge’s stand. Then
there was a pause, and it appeared as
if the crowd was pretty well disarm
ed ; at least if there were any more
pistols in the house their owners did
not seem disposed to give them up.
“Gentleman,” resumed the Judge,
“here are nineteen persons who have
acted like men in this business, but
the man that I saw with the pistol
has not come up yet, and now,” con
tiuued he, pulling out his watch and
looking toward the far side of the
court-house, “I will give him one
minute to accept my proposition, and
if he does not do it in that time, I
will point him out to the Sheriff and
order him to take him into custom
dy.”
Immediately two men from the
back part of the house began to move
towards the Judge’s stand. Once
they stopped and looked at each oth
er, and then coming slowly forward,
laid down their pi.-tols and their dol
lars. As they turned to leave, the
Judge said: “This man with the
black whiskers is the one that I saw
with the pistol.”
Then Judge Lester gave a short
lecture upon the cowardly, foolish
and wicked habit of carrying con
cealed weapons, and assured his audi
ence that in the future the law would
be strictly enforced. The court pro
ceeded with its regular business,
and it is needless to add that in that
county the Habit of carrying pistols
was broken up.
SAM L ABV CONGRESS AT NASHVILLE.
Health officer Lindsley, of Nash'
ville in a recent report to the board
of health mentions that in Novem
ber next it is contemplated that the
largest sanitary congress ever as
sembled in America will be held
in Nashville, bringing together at
least five hundred physicians, scien
tists, statesmen and philanthropists;
and inasmuch as leading writers in
New Orleans and other cities have
already intimated that this Nash
ville meeting of the American pub
lic Health association will constitute
in sanitary progress
throughhout the entire Sauth. He
favors Ihe publication of facts
showing what Nashville has been
doing during the past two years ;
how’ gallant y she stood the test of
the pestilence and panic of 1878, and,
that she proposes so to live up to the
sanitary science and common sense
as to become one of the very health
iest cities on the continent.

for fourteen years he remained in

STATEMENT.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 15, 1876.
Dear McElree—The medicine which you
sent to me for distribution came to hand
promptly, and through my wife I succeeded
in placing it iu the hands of the suffering. To
my certain knowledge it has been thoroughly
tested, aud its effects have been truly wonder
ful. It has entirely relieved some of the most
obdurate eases known to the medical profes
sion. This statement I know to be true. You
are a benefactor, my dear brother, and I wish
yon unbounded success in your great work.
Thousands upon thousands of suffering wo
men will thank you for this most efficacious
remedy. Most siucerely do I wish that every
suffering woman iu this broad land kaew of
the virtues of your great medicine.
Ever your brother, T. C. Blake.
The above was written soon after this ex
cellent medicine was put on the market.
Quite recently the Doctor was called upon to
know if the confidence he had expressed so
liberally was still maintained. He was just
recovering from a severe illness, aud though
not able to talk much he 6aid: ‘l’ll tell you iu
a few words. Its effects are wonderful,’ and
after reciting how great relief it had brought
in certain cases, added: ‘You may put all the
other patent in the world iu a pile,
and I had rather have MeElree’s.’ This good
man has no interest whatever in our Herb
VViue, and would not allow the use of his
name but for the good it may do. This cer
tifieate would seem sufficient, but scores have
been furnished.
Near Franklin, June 26, 1877
Rev. R. L. McElreee ; Dear Sir—l have
used your Herb Wine iu my practice with
complete success. Iu my opinion, it is the
best remedy kuowu to the profession for
monthly disturbances. I have also called (be
attcn.ion of other physieims to your great
remedy, and they have used it with the same
success. I know that it is considered by
some doctors unprofessional to use such
remedies ; but I am one of those who believe
that the Great Father of us all has provided
these remedies, aud wheu I find one of the
kind which I believe yours to be, Ido not
liesita te to use it in my practice. I would be
glad if all the women who suffer such distur
bances knew of your medicine, for lam sat
isfied that iu time it is destined to work a
great revolution for good in the health of our
race. Some of the most obdurate cases, of
tlong standing, I have ever met in my pro
fession, yielded most promptly to the truly
wonderful properties of the Herb Wine.
The fact that it claims to cure nothing but
the one class of ailments, is sufficient to re
lieve it of the suspicion that attends 'he host
of nostrums offered to the public. Most
heartily do I wish you success iu your great
work of relieving suffering womeu.
Yours trnly, R. B. Uabothers.
Extract from a Texas letter to Mrs. McElree:
Uncle Lafayette gave me your address a
short time ago. I thought I would write to
you and tell you how very much I have been
beuefitted by using only one bottle of McE',
ree’s Herb Wiue. I was thrown from a
horse about a year ago and severely injured-
Owing to these injuries I suffered death al
most every mouth, and was obliged to take
my bed for at least a week. My back pained
me terribly, and I seemed to get worse every
month. Auut Mary sent me a bottle of your
Wine, and I must confess I had very little
hope of receiving any benefit from it, but to
please raa 1 began to take it. The first month
I could see but little difference. The second
I felt that I was much better—did not sutler
half as much as usual. The third time I suf,
fered none at all, and was so rejoiced 1 could
not express myself. I am now entirely well
and suffer none.
Mrs. Lillie Boswell.
Kytowu, Texas, Feb. 20, 1878.
The following is an extract from a letter
from a prominent minister iu the M. E.
Church, whose wife objects to the name being
made public; “From the earliest dawn of
womanhood, derangement of menstrual func
tions has been the bane of her life. She has
suffered almost every form and variety of ir,
regularities. Wheu I saw you in Memphis,
she was then conttued to her bed from sheer
exhaustion, brought about by too great a flow
every two weeks, aud sometimes shorter pe
riods, I would be safe in saying that twenty
five different doctors treated her. At every
new field ol labor assigned ns, parties would
feel sure that they could heal her; but not one
gave her any thing more than the most tran
sient relief. It is now lour months since we
