The Fort Valley Mirror Terms, _- - $2 .00. S. B. BURR, Editor and Proprietor. 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. GEORGIA NEWS. Green corn is reported around Thomasviile. The bud w orui is damaging corn around Dublin. Congressman Hammond reached Atlanta Saturday. The child of Mr. S. Freeman, of Munroe county, was drowned at Indian Springs. Pledger thinks all that colored men in Georgia want politically is “sugar.” Sweets to the sweet. It is estimated that the timber business in Georgia, for this year, will amount to 300,000,000 feet, and will exeeeed in value $5,000, 000 . . Gen. Alexander will hold the position of vice president of the Georgia road and Mr. C. H. Phin izy, of Augusta, succeeds to the presidency. Sam Hill is now in tho asylum. The examining physician found his mind weak and put him in a sepa¬ rate apartment for special treat¬ ment. Tho Cartersville Free Press makes tho serious charge of stock gambling by Gov. Colquitt.
