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. :V- 11 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.
