OUR PBESENTWBISLATUBE.
No body of men is immaculate, but in
justice to our present General Assembly
we must say that it is the most faithful,
fearless and vigilant that ever convened
in Georgia. Its members are nobly ful
filling their mission, and in after years
their brilliant record will be held forth
as a guide for like assemblages. It will
be an honor to any man to say that he
was a member of the session of 1879. In
the face of public opinion and the sneers
of the press they have laboriously pursu
ed their mission—to purify our State gov
ernment —and grandly auve they suc
ceeded. Neither fear, favor nor affection
controlled their actions. With a demo
tion to their State unparalleled in the
history of any country, they boldly bear
ded the h'on in its den and performed
their work in a manner that Stamped
each member a patriot. The people now
behold with pride and wonder the glori
ous culmination of their work, and the
applause of their constituents greets
them. They have torn the mask from the
face of officials and shown the tax-payers
the cancerous sore that was fast consu
ming the-vitality of Georgia. They have
instituted an era of true retrenchment
and reform, so often promised and never
fulfilled. They have stopped every leak
in the public till, and our people may
now rest assured that their contribu
tions to the State government will be as
signed to the purposes for which they
were levied, and not be given to swell
the fees of grasping lawyers, to augment
the salaries of unprincipled officials and
be squandered in bribes to subvert the
will of the law. To accomplish this
grand and purifying revolution of course
required time and money; but if the
present Legislature consumed the last
cent df the SBOO,OOO now in the treasury,
Georgia would be the gainer thereby,
and would freely contribute more, if nec
essary, to complete the work of reforma
tion. All manner of cries were raised by
the friends of these criminals to stop or
retard this sweeping investigation and
give the offenders time to cover up their
tracks or escape. Even the political ef
fect of the probable disclosures was soun
ded. ISut with a patriotic determination
to right wrong and expose’cerruption at
all hazards did the committees set to
work, and the official rottenness they un
earthed was perfectly astounding.
Members of the General Assembly,
you have the thanks, approbation and
applause of the State in your noble and
patriotic work. Your constituents have
now discovered your mission and worth
and point with pride to your record.
A DISGRACE TO OUH COUNTRY.
“ The .Mormons continue t show fight. They
nrr ili'lcnnincil to protect their altar.- anil ns ma
ny of their wives ami firesides as they can stand
by at one time."—Augusta Evening News.
The toleration of polygamy in any
manner or form is a stain upon our gov
ernment. Few people have an idea of
the extent to which this crime against
God and civilization is practiced in the
United States and the rapid strides it
has made of late years. Scarce a State
in the Union is free from it. Numerous
names and faiths have been manufactur
ed to veil the crime and give it a form of
legality, and it is the rarest thing to hear
of steps toward its suppression. The
Mormons are the boldest and strongest of
theso bestial sects, and their emmisarics
roam the laud at will in quest of victims.
Only a few weeks since was one of these
creatures most justly killed in our own
State while pursuing this mission. We
applaud the deed. These Mormon agflhts
should be dealt with the same as you
would any other dangerous beast that in
vaded the sanctity of your homes. Our
government should instantly put down
this relict of barbarianism, even if it
necessitated the death of every polyga
mist in our realms. We have the power
now, but if the brutes continue to multi
ply aud spead like they have been do
ing, in a few years they will be able to
sustain their faith (?) by the force of
arms. Each State should enact law that
will ferret out and severely punish these
criminals, aud the general government
take iu hand the propagating beds of
.Utah.
THE STATE TREASURES.
From his own confessions, Mr. Rknfro
has committed official acts no less culpa
ble than those for which the Comptroller
General is now undergoing trial before a
court of impeachment. That officer ad
mits that in order to secure securities on
his bond he loaned certain banks money
belonging to the State, and they allowed
him one-third of the interest accruing
from the same. The law says this money
should have gone into the treasury. Mr.
Renfro, with a confiding innocence
most cWld-like and bland, kept no ac
count of the sums thus paid to him, but
left the matter solely to the consciences
of his fellow-conspirators. Upon second
thought, however, he thinks he got more
than $5,1)00 on his third. What will be
done with this man is not yet decided.
The people are not disposed to spend an
other $30,000 to impeach him, neither do
they feel inclined to allow him to go un
whipped of justice. If legal, he should
be cashiered and dismissed in disgrace.
This we think the wisest plan. Then let
the Courts take both Mr. Renfro and his
conspiring securities in hand and try
the clique for combining to defraud the
State. Mr. Renfro excuses himself on
the ground that his predecessors were
guilty of a like practice. If this be true
it speaks very badly for the Legislative
committees appointed to examine into
this department.
THE RADICAL PLATFORM.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean, the acknowl
edged organ of the Republican party,
lays down as its platform:
“ The Democratic party has got to bo voted
down or whipped down/'
Had this expression eminated from a
Southern Democratic paper with refer
ence to the Republican party, the wail of
the 7.-0. would have sounded fora month
to come. But that vituperous journal
can utter the most revolutionary doc
trines with impunity. But the Demo
cratic party has no idea of being either
voted down, whipped down or backed
down. It has set its compas for the
White House, and all Radicalism com
bined cannot change its course. We in
tend to nominate a candidate who has
the courage to seize the reins placed by
the people in his hands, snd not be driv
en off by that mongrel horde of yelping
Radical curs. The thieves will not find
a cowardly, weak-kneed Tilden to com
bat, but a Bayard, a Hampton or a
Hancock, who will meet rebellion with
force, assassins with the gibbet and
thieves with the penitentiary. The ex- !
perience of 1876 can never occur aga n ; j
the people could not and would not ,
tand it.

THE ROLL OF HONOR.
J. PhllHp,.
This wide-awake merchant-ires a mammoth
advertisement in the Echo to-day, announc
ing the arrival of his magnificent fall stock.
Mr. Phillips came to our county a few years ago
with his strick iu trade swungacross his shoul
ders, but to-day he owns one of the finest and
largest establishments in this section. He
opened a store at a point noted for its mercan
tile failures, and asplendid success has crown
ed bis efforts. His secret lays in first getting
the confidence of his customers, and then sell
ing them the best of goods at lowest prices.
We heard the other day of a lady, livingabove
Crawford, who did her shopping at the Mill
stone Store, a distance of twenty miles. She
said it paid her to do so. Mr. Phillips will
.shortly open a branch store at Sandy Cross,
and will there duplicate his Millstone prices.
He defies competition from Elbertou or else
where, and has issued a proclamation that
no trade nor cotton must leave the county.
We will allude to his store again soon.
Ksm’l A. Nelson A Cos.
The merchant that does not know this firm
has certainly spent hig days under a bushel.
They are the largest shoe dealers in Charles
ton, if not the South, and the senior has been
in the businesss for years before the war. We
went through the'r store aud were delighted
with the magnificent display of goods. This
season they have added many new styles in
boots and shoes to their stock, which must be
seen to be appreciated. Mr. Nelson’s goods
are about as well known to and popular with
the people at large as the merchants.
tain in limes A Cos.
We never entered a finer establishment than
this. We saw therein goods enough to clothe
the State, and every article was so nicely ar
ranged that a merchant can select his stock
iu half the time as elsewhere. This firm is
is one of the oldest in the South, and has al
ways received a large trade from Georgia.
This season they are better prepared than ev
er to supply our dealers, ami we earnestly re
quest them to hold their orders for this house.
We never met cleverer gentlemen or were
better pleased with what we saw thau here.
Robertson, Taylor A Cos.
Those of our readers who contemplate ship
ping cotton to Charleston can not nnd a safer j
or better firm than this. They control a I
large capital, and have great experience in j
the business. They are in direct communi
cation with all the cotton markets of the
world, and make no specialty of any State or
section, but do business for the entire cotton
belt. They have also a splendid wholesale
grocery establishment.
t>er|(e A. Hatlie.
This exceedingly clever and thoroughly re
liable merchant has a mammoth card iu our
pajier to-day, reciting the rare inducements he
can offer in his line. Mr. Bailie is too well
and favorably known to need a word of com
mendation at our hands. Suffice it to say,
that both in stock and prices he can not be
eclipsed in Georgia, or out of it.
Jaiu it. Bailie.
This gentleman—whose very name is sig
nificant of honor and reliability—has a card
in the Echo. He occupies the old stand of
.las. G. Bailie'& Bro. with a stock of goods
that is beautiful to behold. Be sure ami cor
respond with him when you want anything
in the carjiet or grocery line, and the low
prices will astonish you.
Hnrdell t- Wood.
These gentleman are candidates for the cot
ton trade of our county. They are experienc
ed factors, and in every way reliable. They
have a splendid fire-proof ware-house and will
handle your cotton as low as any dealers with
a name and capital. Mr. Burdell is most fa
vorably known in this county, and Mr. Wood
is just as clever and honorable as his partner.
Messrs. Wright <V Crane, (Successors to
Clntdiorn, Herrins; A Cos., Warren Block.
Augusta’s strength has always been in the
cotton trade, and her cotton merchants have
generally been among the most solid and
successful men iu the State. There exist in
the city now, a few old firms who commenc
ed business far back under the old regime,
and whose names have been a mark forsuc
cessful dealing, and whose careers have
been time-honored and strong. Among
these, the house of Claghorn, Herring &
Cos., from which the present firm sprang,
has for a long period been one of the most
enduring and noted, having figured in the
city’s cotton trade for many years, and
having built up a business, extensive and
satisfactory, which is at present well con
ducted by Messrs. Wright & Cane. Asso
ciated with the firm, even now, in the ca
pacity of a limited partner, is Mr. Wm. F.
Herring, a gentleman of experience and
culture, who now makes his residence in
Europe, advising with the house, and aid
ing them in its extensive European corres
pondence. In this connection, it may be
stated as a fact, that the foreign correspon
dence of the present firm is very heavy,
they dealing largely in cotton for European
customers, shipping on orders and for par
ties in the interior. They buy cotton large
ly for English spinners, and ship both to
Liverpool and to the Continent, transacting
business with correspondents in France and
Germauy, and at Bremen, Hamburg aud
Havre. Iu this business, too, they have
been largly instrumental in securing low
rates of freight to foreign ports, frequently
chartering vessels to sisjure easy terms, and
invariably giving customers the benefit of
such rates. Their foreign business is pure
ly aud solely a legitimate oue, no specula
tions being made upon a bale of cotton.
Mr. Jno. S. Wright was for twelve years a
confidential clerk of Messrs. Claghorr,
Herring & Cos., and as such became inti
mately acquainted in detail with this busi
ness, and promotive of its successful con
duct. Mr. Geo. W. Crane has been for the
past twenty years intimately connected aud
thoroughly acquainted with the cotton mar
ket of Augusta. The firm, therefore, seem
to be fully prepared to curry ou the business
as cotton factors and commission merchants,
selling and storing cotton and making lib
eral advances. They also are ageuts for the
Giant and Hope guanos, which they war
rant aud sell in large quantities. This
house, then, is among the largest and strong
est in the State. —Augusta Chronicle.
Hon. William Whaley, of
We regretted very much to find this gentle
man quite sick during our visit to Charleston.
Calling at his office and learning that he was
confined to his house, we accompanied a rela
tive to see him, and were pained to find him
suffering from severe indisposition. We were
gratified, however, to make the acquaintance
of one of whom we had heard so much all
th rough life. lie was a school-mate and friend
of our father. Col. Whaley has been a prom
inent member of society. Although the son
and only surviving child of one of the wealthi
est planters of Edisto Island, and himself a
wealthy producer of the “ long staple fleece,”
he yet chose the profession of the Law, and
was successful, with a large and lucrative
practice, ne was long a member of the Leg
islature of his State, representing, at various
times, the planters of Edisto aud the commer
cial interests of Charleston. His practice be
fore the Supreme Court at Washington, and
his political associations, gave him a large
ciicle of friends throughout the country. The
results of the war dissipated the large fortunes
of his father and self, but the courage for
which he has been marked through life has
not failed him, and he contests the battle with
a determination seldom seen. We hope soon
to hear of his thorough restoration to health,
aud shall anticipate the pleasure of cultivating
his acquaintance in our future visits to the
Old City by the Sea,” as her demizens de
light to call her.
A special to the Courier-Journal of
the 23d inst. says: The mystery over the
sinking mountain is still uusolved, unless
the explanation given by Mr. M. Steven
son, an old and accomplished scientist, is
the true one. He has lived in the gold
bearing section ever since the first white
men came here. He says that he distinct
ly remembers that about forty years ago
a shaft of a mine was run underthe edge
of this mountain and afterward abandon
ed. Later the water of the river, which
ran near by, filtered through into this
shaft, and washed away all trace of it. It
is a very rapid, swift mountain stream,
and he supposes that it has gradually
washed out the shaft, and enlarged the
hole f until there was a chasm of a half
mile loug and fully as broad and half as
deep. He thinks this washing continu
ed until the support of about one- third
of the mountain was eaten away, and
then tumbled into the chasm. It seems
almost incredible that this could be true,
and yet it is the only explanation offer- j
ed. This, Mr. Stevenson holds, would
account for the continued sinking of the
broken mass, as he holds that the river is
still eating it away. Thousands of per- !
sons have visited the scene, and many
superstitious fears have been raised on
account of the mountain. The whole i
gold bearing section is full of violent j
streame, falls and cascades, and there j
are some few subterranean streams f j
considerable siae.

IN DEFENCE OF THE JEWS.
Dedicated to Jndjte Hilton and his Sattelites.
Ab! thou proud, vain-glorious race,
Boast not yourselves at all;
For from the .Jews, yon dare debase,
Did God His chosen call.
When Moses, elect of the Lord,
Was guiding us to light,
The Gentiles knew no God, no Word—
Upon the earth a blight.
And yet this new-born race does dare
Upon the .JCw to frown;
Men who, like beasts, slept in their lair,
While we dwelt in our town.
When Solomon, the wise and good,
Ruled from a throne of gold,
Thy kinsmen roamed awild the wood,
Like sheep without a fold.
Great David, Israel’s shepherd King,
Whose words, like Heaven’s dew,
On Christians fall—ah, here’s the sting;
Himself was but a Jew.
Your Saviour, too, the Nazarene,
Tiie Son of God, say you.
His parents' tribe thou dare demean!
Christ Himself was a Jew.
Two thousand years is all you can
Trace back your creed, your name.
The humblest Jew—ah! hear, vain man,
Descends with Israel’s fame.
Go, search your prisons. Bear in mind
V our .paupers to review.
Of Gentiles many you will find,
But scarce a single Jew.
And yet we hear of miffi who dare
To ostracise our race.
\\ e heed them not; but fools, beware 1
You seal your own disgrace.
W e know our lineage, feel our power:
The world we rule with gold;
Our strength increases ev’ry hour—
Our triumph soon behold!

Ague Cure
Is a purely vegetable bitter and powerful
tonic, and is warranted a speedy and cer
tain cure for Fever and Ague, Chills and
Fever, Intermittent or Chili Fever, Re
mittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical
Or Bilious Fever, and all malarial dis
orders. In miasmatic districts, the rapid
pulse, coated tongue, thirst, lassitude, loss of
appetite, pain in the back and loins, and cold
ness of the spine and extremities, arc onlv
premonitions of severer symptoms which
terminate in the ague paroxysm, succeeded
by high fever and profuse perspiration.
It is a startling fact, that quinine, arsenic,
and other poisonous minerals form the basis
of most of the “ Fever and Ague Prepara
tions,” “Specifics,” “Syrups,” and “Ton
ics,” in the market. The preparations made
from these mineral poisous, although they
are palatable, and may break the chill, do
not cure, but leave the malarial and their
own drug poison in the system, producing
quinism, dizziness, ringing in the cars, head,
ache, vertigo, and other disorders more for
midable than the disease they were intended
to cure. Ayer’s Ague Cure thoroughly
eradicates these noxious poisons from the
system, and always cures the severest cases.
It contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate patient;
and its crowning excellence, aliove its cer
tainty to cure, is that it leaves the system as
free from disease as before the attack.
For liver Complaints, AVer’s Ague
Cure, by direct action on the liver and bil
iary apparatus, drives out the poisons which
produce theffie complaints, and stimulates tho
system to a vigorous, healthy condition.
We warrant it when taken according to
directions.
