OGLETHORPE ECHO
Friday Morning, March 4, 1875.
LPUBILSHED WEEKLY BY
T. L. GANTT, Editor and Prop’r.
The Civil Rights Bill a Law.
This iniquitous measure has as last
passed both branches of Congress, receiv
ed the approval and signature of Grant,
and is now a law of the land.
Words are inadequate to express our
hatred and contempt for the scoundrels
who have thus foisted this measure upon
the country. It is the crowning feat of
Radical misrule, usurpation and villainy
—the dying bequest to the people by the
party that has so long and shamefully
held the reins of government—for well
we know, with its passage, their power
is at an end.
Thel bill, as passed, gives the negro
the right to enter, with the whites, all
public conveyances, places of amusement
and resort, hotels, etc. The only differ
ence from the bill left as a dying legacy
by Sumner—whose soul we hope is now
receiving its just deserts for a life of vil
lainous fanaticism, outrage and indigni
ties upon a proud and gallant people—is
that the public school and cometery
clauses are stricken out. But there are
certain conditions" incident thereto that
will break up r thc public school system
in many places.
We hope and believe this measure will
be but short-lived, for when the Democ
racy regain power in the government,
they will sweep away not only this, but
many other unjust and unlawful acts
passed by the hellions who have so long
controlled the government at Washing
ton City.
•' To our people we would say a few
words of warning: This measure was
originated and passed not as a matter of
justice to or as an elevator of the negro
race, but to serve a purpose—which pur
pose is to regain that power which has
been so justly wrenched from them at the
late elections all over the country. They
know that their only hope now of success
is to fire the Northern heart with tales of
■“outrage and murder” in the South, and
the cry L of a “new rebellion.” Their
manufactured “ outrages” have failed to
serve their purpose, aud they must have
something real. Knowing the high spirit
and pride of the Southern peo
ple, they have sought to coerce them into
these measures by heaping upon them
indignities such as were never known in
the civilized world.
But let our people meet them with a de
termination to disappoint the inaugura
ters of this deep-dyed villainy. Let them
bear in mind that the poor negro is not
to- blame, but is only the tool and
dupe of his Radical masters. Let them
look upon any overture made by him to
use the privileges guaranteed him by this
law as .a trap set by the Republican par
ty to incense us into' an act that will
result in their good at the North. Let
us look upon the negro with charity,
for “ they know not what they do.” Of
everything, forbear violence and blood
shed. Let us hold our tempers and
curb Our passions for a short time, and
all will yet be well. Let our resentment
rest upon the Yankee puppies who fra
med and passed the measure.
We do not believe the negro will at
tempt to foist himself upon the whites.
A few may, while the thing is new, but
they will soon fall back into tlieir origi
nal channel, and keep to themselves.
There are many ways to evade this law,
without, being guilty of a direct viola
tion.

The*Atlanta Herald. —lt is with
pleasure we welcome this splendid daily
to our. list. Since last seen,
the Herald has put ou an entire new
dress, and is now not only one of the
best and spiciest, but one of the clearest
printed and handsomest dailies in the
South. It has long been prophesied by
certain rival journals that the Herald
would not survive, but, greatly to their
disappointment and chagrin, it not only
lives, hut lays them far in the shade so
far as news and enterprise is concerned.
Every family in the State should have a
paper from the Capital, so as they can
keep posted on the affairs of State. To
our friends we cheerfully recommend
the Herald. It is a newspaper in every
sense of the word.
Adjournment of the Legislature.
—Both branches of the legislature,
haviinr got through with all their busi
ness, adjourned she die at. noon Tues
day.
Elder Silsßee thinks it is a darnpit
ti that the banditti can’t be sandpitted.
They have expelled a member of the
North Carolina Legislature for being an
atheist.
Paul Boyton says that the greatest
depth to which a diver can descend is
one hundred and sixty feet.
It has been suggested that the late
cold w inter was a feeble effort on the part
of Providence to overcome the Beecher
business.
The Main Legislature has rejected a
bill to compel the sale of eggs by weight.
“ A pound of eggs ” is still a dream of
the future.
A Newark chap, who, on short ac
quaintance, married a widow, ran away
when he discovered that she w-as the
mother of twenty-two children.
Our noon telegrams of yesterday re
cord some very flattering Democratic
gains in Maine. Straws like these in
dicate the direction of the political
zephyrs.
Two hotels at Alexandria, Va., and
one at Baltimore, yesterday surrendered
their licenses and closed. This may he
regarded as the first victory of the civil
rights bill.
A candidate for County Clerk in
Texas offers to registered marriages for
nothing. His opponent, undismayed,
promised to do the same, and throw- a
cradle in.
It is rather dangerous to tell tales on
brewers of the “ rosy ” up in Northeast
Georgia. Two chaps who informed on
some of their neighbors, w r ere taken out
a few nights afterwards and shot to death.
A female lawyer in Wyoming w T as
recently obliged to suspend her argu
ment before a justice in order to admin
ister to the wants of her baby, who w-as
arguing for its dinner in an adjoining
room.
The Maine Legislature has passed a
bill providing that woman, otherwise
eligible, may he appointed to solemnize
marriages, acknowledge deeds and ad
minister oaths, hut without judicial
power.
Two gentlemen from Japan have been
examining the Pennsylvania oil region,
and have shipped to their country the
necessary machinery for boring. They
are suspected of the intention to tap our
oil reservoirs from the under side.
A very flexible temperance pledge is
this, which is circulated among Boston
fashionable ladies: “ I promise that no
intoxicating liquor shall be used in this
house for cooking purposes, and in sick
ness that it shall be given conscientious
ly.”
King Kalakaua is not only a mem
of a temperance organization, but a Ma
son of the Thirty-second Degree of the
Ancient Scottish Dite. While in Wash
ington he paid his respects to Albert
Pike, the first Mason of America, who
resides in Alexandra.
The Philadelphia Ledger says there
was a male child born a few days ago to
a married couple in Gloucester city, the
father being in his eightieth year and
the mother in her seventieth year. They
had been married twenty-two years, and
this is their first child.
The Waterford, Ct., wild man, Webs
ter Brown, who has slept in a cave dur
ing the severest weather this winter on a
bed of leaves, with hardly any cover
ing, was visited the other day and found
to be hale and hearty, and not a bit
frozen.
If the French ever regain Straushurg
they will have to take one of the strong
est fortifications in Europe. The Ger
mans are adding immensely to its forts
and lines of defense. And with all the
other guards of the new conquest, the
utmost endeavors are being used to ren
der it impregnable. Obviously Bismarck
has no belief in any permanent peace
except one that is compulsory. And he
is right.
An Allegany (N. Y.) county woman
recently died at Fillmore, and her dying
request was that her husband should
watch her grave ten nights in succession.
She had conceived the idea that the phy
sicians wanted her body or rather her
stomach, (it being a diseased one), aud
she put this injunction on her husband.
He visited the cemetery every half hour
during each aud every night, having an
attendant to watch with him.
The Forsyth Advertiser relates a Wes
tern romance with a moral.Some time
in December last Mr. James Childs,
with his family, left Monroe county for a
home in the West. His family
of two unmarried daughters, three sons
and their wives. They settled at Fredo
nia, Ark., but for a short time • only, as
they landed in Forsyth on last Wednes
day, weary, sick, disheartened, and
“ broke. They bring gloomy reports
from the West.
