Htinui "Vistix. Marion Cos. On.. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 8, 1878. The Foderal office-holders in Cali fornia arc assessed ten per cent, of (heir salaries to raise a eyrruption fund with Which to carry the State for the Radicals. The severity of the the assessment shows Unit the Radi cal leaders regard tho Stal e as a very hard one for them to carry. Last winter, when the Democrats in Con gress proposed to reduce the salaries of these same Federal officials ten per cent., the Republicans contend ed that it could not be done without injustice to ilie officers and detriment to the service. This shows the dif ference, in their estimation, between saving the money for the Federal treasury and using it to carry elec tions. And this is the kind of “civ il service reform” they promise the country under Hayes’ administra tion. A UEMAIiUAIIU; MEMORY. Gov. Hayes Las the most remark able memory that lias turned up in this country lor years, lie distinct ly remembers the name of that S4OO deserter who was shot; he distinctly remembers the names of the compa ny and regiment to which he belong ed; ho distinctly remembers every particular of ilie crime l'or which ho was shot, together with the name of the officer who was ordered to shoot him, and the year and the month and the day ot the week in and on which ho was shot; Jjc distinctly remem bers chaplain who 1:C that the not to the poor old mo’hcr of the dead man, hut to tho Government, and that the chaplain must turn it over to him— and there, at that moment of all mo ments, that memory, up to that mo ment as stong and rigorous as a young male, astd as retentive, if pos sible, as Rutherford vras and is oi the taxes due the State Government, suddenly breaks down, collapses, van ishes, and, like the baseless fabric of a vision, leaves not a rack behind. For the very life of him tie can’t re member whether ho took the money or not, or it he did, what tie did with it. Ilang such a memory. Like that deserter, it ought to be shot, and no doubt it would ho if Rutherford thought lie could realize S4OO by the transaction. Rutherford’s story is as thin as a pancake “trompt onto by an elephant." — Courier-Journal. Petersburg (Va.) Post: It was at the Old Market-House yesterday morning. Uncle Cutloe Perkinson, ol Prince George, and Ctcsar Sloto, of Dinwiddle, were discussing be tween slices of succulent water-mel on, the political issues of the day. Said Undo Cull'eo: “I ain’t griwne ter vote dat Radical ticket any more." “Why?" said Cmsar. “Well,” said the old man, “I drenmpt I was in hell last night." “Did you see any Radical office-holders there?” “Yes I did," said the old fellow, “hell was full of ’em, and every office holder had a nigger holding ’tween him and de fire.” ■. ♦ ♦ > The Radical party lias achieved a reputation, which has given it the name of Addition, Division and Si ’ lence BUENA VISTA, MARION COUNTY, GA., SEPTEMBER 29, 1876, THE REALITY OF SLAVERY. Judge Black in his open letter to Garfield, says: “ You have conse quently made ours the eorruptest gov ernment on this side of Constantino ple. Perhaps jou will say this is a mere general assertion. Rut 1 am ready to maintain the truth of it against all opposers. You may take the rwttenost monarchy in Europe, go over its history for a hundred years and produce the worst act you can find of fraudulent spoliation upon its people, and if I do not show some thing worse committed hero under the auspices ot the party now in pow er, 1 will give up the case. But it is useless to cite the evidence of indi ridi als upon great public facts that arc lclt, and seen and known of all men. Nothing ever was more noto rious than tho general disregard ot all* sound principle by this administra tion. No people on earth arc now suffering so much from extravagant taxation, and nowhere docs so small a portion of the taxes go to legiti mate public purpose, or so much to the rulers themselves and the rings they Choose to favor. Industry is crushed as it never was|bcfore. La bor no longer works for itself since all and more than all of its surplus profits ere exacted and consumed by the hangers on of the government. Now, although wo call ourselves free men and freed men, wc are to all in tents and purpose slaves, so long as you continue to make us hand over to you the earnings of our labor; for the essence of slavery consists in compelling one man, or class of men, to work for another without equiva lent. We are determined to relieve ourselves from this intolerable bond age as lar as we can legally and penceublv, and if you do not help us, you must at least cease to shock us by pretending to be an anti-slavery man upon principle.’' It now appears the original circu lar of the Attorney General was pre pared m haste, although there was a pretence that it. was under thonght lil consideration lbr sever ai weeks. In the first placo, the Attorney Gen eral did not know of the importance of section 5,522 of the revised stat. utes, which makes every person, whether with or without any author ity, power or process; or pretended authority, jpower or process, respon sible for interference at elections. When the General of the army, how ever, issued general order No 9G, and incorporated this section in lus order, Judge Taft thought it was time to call the attention of United States Marshals to it. So ho lias issued an amended order, with the above sec tion included in the references, and sent the same to his subordinates throughout the country. —Savannah Nexus. A simple and inexpensive method of preventing the plaguo of mosqui toes is to pour a small quantity of kerosene oil into the pools, sinks and other receptacles of stagnant water in which tho insects breed. The oil forms a film upon the surface of the water, through which neither the new-born mosquito can emerge into tho air nor the adult female penetrate to lay its eggs. The result is that tho mosquitoes in existence die out, and, their place not being filled, there is an end of them. The oil -in time evaporates, and must be renewed oc casionally. Danbmy New=: General Butler is a rod ant in the Massachusetts pantaloon leg. A reporter of the Atlanta Consti tution has interviewed a Major of the United States army and obtained his views upon the infamous “circular" issued by tho Attorney General. Tho oflieer condemns the document in un measured terms, and say it is “a vir tual repeal of the bill of rights and the Constitution of the country. Tho soldiers abhor tLc work which they arc expected to perform, and will do their disagreeable duty with great ro. luetauce. Oeu. ShefJuan’s subse quent order is looked upon as a “ray of hope,” and will allow officers a .measure of discretion in obeying "the reckless orders of obscure and irre sponsible Deputy Marshals." lie says the sentiments of the officers on this subject are shared by the soldiers under their command, though they represent all shades of polities. There is every reason to believe that this officer in his conversation voiced the sentiment of the army. Soldiers are generally gentlemen, and have no relish Ibiqthe dirty work of the de tective or for those who wish them to do it. Wo regret, however, that the Constitution published the con versation. The Republicans will fer ret out who the officer was and we ven ture tlie assertion that as soon as dis covered he will be suspended from duty or sent to the Black Hills. Very Favorable Reports as to our Friends in Indiana. Special Dispatch to the World Washington, September 24. —The advices received here from Indiana as to the October result continue to be nearly all one way; and by that it is meant that the Republicans arc giving up the State. Ex-United Statrs Treasury New has written here in the same strain of the letter from Babcock, Chairman of the Republi can State' Committee of Illinois, pub lished in yesterday '&-World, showing that the prospects are adverse to the Republicans, and asking that all the Indiana clerks be sent home at once. From the Democratic side the estimates ot William’s majority for -Governor run all the way from 10,000 to 15,000. When a guu bursts in the Turkish Camp the damage is not confined to its immediate vicinity. An accident of this kind happened at lfodgoritza recently, killing twenty Turks and wounding as many more. The sur vivors wero so infuriated that they immediately went off and murdered a priest and several peaceable citi zens. Secretary Robeson’s pi irate secre tary seems to have been nicer about his associates than tho President. When a Congressional committee ex posed the corruption of his employer he evidently couldn’t stand the com panionship, aud went off and com mitted suicide. General Grant still cherishes robber Robeson, and takes him to his heart for a friend. • *<CTMN* ♦<&— Mr, J. H. Estill, proprietor of the Savannah News, who bravely stuck to his business post and at the same time actively engaged in tho work of helping the sick in Savannah, was himself stricken down with the fever 'a few drays ago, but we are glad to see the statement that lie is recover ing. Tire Charleston News, alluding to the fact that in Charleston only one of the negro rioters out of hundreds were arrested, and to the Inter trou-' hio3 in its State, says: “South Car olina is returning last to that primi tive condition in which each group of citizens organize for their own pro tection. And protect themselves they will. Only by uprooting the Radical party can the State have peace " NUMBER 1. Georgia Cmigresxmuii. Under this head tho New Orleans Picayune of a recent date has the following. The compliment is as handsome as it is Well deserved, and shows that the course end character of our delegation in the House is quite as well known and appreciated away from, as they arc at home. Says the Picayune: Tho telegraph informs us that all the old members of Congress lioiu Georgia have been renominated, and as a Democratic nomination in Geor gia signifies an election, their return to the Congressional halls is assured. The selections were decidedly wise, and evince an absence of much par ty contention in the Democratic ranks. No State can claim an emi nence over Georgia in the intellectu al character of its Congressmen, and it is a matter of congratulation that the old delegation has been renomi nated, The mistake is not unfrequerttly made of changing Congressmen arbi trarily at the end of each term. Of course a public position cannot be an inheritance in this country, but tho idea of rotation in office, though it may be commendable as applied to executive departments, must not be interpreted too severely as applied to the legislative and judicial. Fre quently Congressmen are changed just at the moment when they me capable of performing sonic service. An apprenticeship of a year or two is necessary to an intelligent under standing of legislative business, and often reputations are wreekod by a stupid belief that a local public ora tor should immediately distinguish himself on his election to a legislative portion. The Indianapolis Sentinel says the most expensive man employed at the Re publican State Central Committee Rooms of Indiana receives a salary of thirtvtliree dollars per day, and that i; is not paid by the committee but comes from the Government under the diplo matic appropriation bill. Doun Piatt has brought out a charge that one of the Grant family servants has for several years been drawing sev enty-five dollars a mouth as a “clerk,’, her name having been put upon the government pay rolls. The Courier- Journal thinks that eminent Spaniard ought to let the present administration alone. If Mr. Hayes should be e'Ated, big “reform-frora-within" items will be ao plentiful that such little matters as putting a servant ou tho government rolls will no longer attract his atten tion. Kentucky editors have com menced to quote Scripture in favor of tlieir respective Presidential candidates, and since the nomina tions the booksellers of that Stato have sold in the aggregate five Bi bles, making a grand total of elev en disposed of since the war. Tho Courier-Journal thinks the whiskey ring should furnish the snakes for Babcock’s proposod zoological gar den. m m A Brooklin clergyman, just re turned from his vacation, forestall ed all possible disappointment as to his choice of subjects by annouce ing frt in tho pulpit; As I have not been to Europe, nor to the Centennial, nor to any other placo worth mentioning, I shall preach the Gospel.” “By Jove” said a man, dashing into the railroad station the other day, “an express train has gone off the big bridge!” “Many killed?” screamed the bystanders. “Not one,” replied the other. “She just went on at ono end and went ou at the other —-just as usual.” Diamonds, like silver, aro deprecia ting in ihc European market.
