FRIDAY... MAY 7, 1880.
The Albany Advertiser says some
of their farmers report that where
last year's cotton stalks have been
left standing, they have put out
new leaves and have plenty of
squares on them. The winter was
so mild in this section that the
stalks and roots were not killed
by cold, and they are now putting
on a second crop. This is some¬
.
thing tliit we never heard of -be-,
fore, and certainly proves that we
have had a remarkably mild win¬
ter.
~-- • O*--•
Gen. Gartbell.— The friends of
this gentleman, all over the State,
are enthusiastic in their desire to
make him Governor. They are en¬
deavoring to have him visit south¬
west Georgia and address the peo¬
ple and we presume he will shortly
do so.
Another false report of yellow
fever being in New Orleans having
been received in Washington, Dr.
Joseph Jones, President of tho
Louisiana Board of Health, says
“I affirm that New Orleans is free
from fevers of all description. The
weather is cool and the health of
the city was-never better.”
General Roger A. Pryor, whose
political disabilities are removed
by Congress, expects to run for
congress on the democratic ticket
in Brooklyn next fall.
So much grain is going down
ihe Mississippi river on barges
and boats that there is great diffi¬
culty in finding storage room at
New Orleans until yessels can be
procured to carry it across the
ocean.
When Gen. Grant arrived in
Jackson, Miss., a few days ago,
among the immense crowd who
came out to meet him was a fat old
darkey, and when she espied the
great traveler she exclaimed: “Dar
sets my Jesus wid a stove pipe hat
on."
An experimental run of ten
miles in six minutes was lately
made over the Illinois railroad.—
This is at the rate of 100 miles an
hour.
In the Senate last week, Mr. Da¬
vis, of W est Virginia, presented a
report of the investigation made
by a select connnitte into the
Treasury accounts. It will be
rememberd that Senator Davis
charged nearly four years ago that
hundreds of millions of dollars
had been added to tho statement
of the public debt for the osten¬
sible reason of making the Treas¬
ury books balance. In his report,
in which Mesrs. Whyte and Beck
concur, he says that all of his char
ges have been sustained by the in ¬
vestigation, which, if it does not
reveal anything worse, shows that
accounts have been kept with most
reckless carelessness.
A number of gentlemen in Mis¬
souri, calling themselves anti third
term Repub icans, have united in
signing a paper pledging them¬
selves, first, to prevent if possible
the nomination for President of
any man who has occupied the of¬
fice for more than one term before
and, second, not to support such a
nominee if placed in the field.
Conklin declares against Wash
bume on any terms, and that prob"
ably disposes of Washbufne’s can¬
didacy. The Republican party will
not be likely to risk a candidate
against whom Mr: Conkling avows
an impjacable hostility. This is a
contemptible position for a party
to be in, but it’s a rather contempts
ible party anyhow.
The Augusta Chronicle says Mr.
J. H. James made §20,000 to §22,
000 clear by unloading Georgia
railroad stock, and such was his
confidence in tho future of tho
road that he bought a good deal
back at a higher rate than he sold
some of it.
The Goorgia teachers' association
met in Masonic Hall, Macon, Tues¬
day.
An appeal has been made to the
supremo court for a mandamus to
force Judge Iiillyor to certify to
tho bill of exceptions for tho new
trial of Cox, which ho has refused
to sign.
Tho residence and furniture of
Mr. J. L. Robinson, one of the
owners of Troup factory, located
near tho mill, wus burned on the
-{lit of 21.
Conscience Element in Politics
In Wesleyan Christian Advocate
there is an article on conscience in
politics, in which there are very
many t lings well and truly said.
lst./No man has any claim to of¬
fice but on the grounds of fitness.’
2nd. ‘No Drunkard is a fit legis¬
lator. Drunkenness is an absolute
disqualification for office holding.’
8d. ‘Drunkards are not the only
men unfit to make laws and to
them. Blasphemors,
rogues, Sabbath-breakers,
adulterers, libertines, are
not fit to be office holders. No
genius, eloquence, learning, party-,
zeal, or party^skill, can make them
fit.’
‘The Wesleyan does not advocate
this party or denounce that, this
candidate or that. But with all
its might, it says : Let Christian
men be true, first of all to Christ,
when they vote. They cannot be
true to Christ and office knowingly
make corrupt men holders.
* * * It has enough good
men to make and to administer its
laws/
All right thinking men can endorse
the above. Hear him again :
‘If nominating Conventions want
Christian votes for their candidates
let them name men that Christian
men can vote for. * * * When
the ring masters and managers
ask us to show loyalty to party by
disloyalty to God, they ask too
much.’
Is tho Editor paving tho way of
some defeated Jonathan at coming
nominating convention? We await
anxiously to see. Are these prima¬
ry conventions secret organiza¬
tions? Are not all citizens notified
as to time, place, purpose of meet¬
ings? Are all good men ruled out?
Have they no voice, no vote, no
choice ? Are these conventions
made up of bad, wicked men, ring
masters ? If Christian men can
go, and do not go and throw the
weight of their moral character in
keeping corrupt men, and men
unfit, from being nominated, they
are culpably guilty, and the true
cause of improper men being can¬
didates. They are their candidates
by non-action. They foist them
upon the country. These primary
conventions are the places for
Christian men to reform the poli¬
tics of the country. If Christian
men can’t afford to give the weight
of their personal characters and
influence in these primary conven¬
tions, and thereby have none but
good men nominated, they are
untrue to their country, their fami¬
and their God. Christijinity
demands good men. The pros¬
perity and quiet of the country
demands it. Let good men
see to it that we have the right
sort of candidates* and then use
all laudable means to have them
elected.
We have just received Peterson’s
Magazine for June, and do not hesi¬
tate to say that it has more attrac¬
tions than all the other magazines
in America. It has such fine steel ens
gravings, and such good cuts. The
ladies at home tell us.that -‘Peter¬
son’s” fashions are in better taste,
and more reliable than any maga¬
zine published. ‘Peterson’s* illus¬
trated articles are a new feature
this year, which makes the Maga¬
zine more attractive than ever. A
friend of ours, who was in Phila¬
delphia last week, called at Peter¬
son’s office, and tells us that they
pack 5000 magazines every after¬
noon to their subscribers. - He
speaks of the great popularity of
the book. Send to Charles J.
Peterson, 308 Chestnut Street,
Philadelph a, and get his great club
terms for 1880.
