THE OGLETHORPE ECHO Friday Kerning, : : : : :Aigust 29,1879 _ -l. CANTT7 Kriitor, Buhli-hcr and I'rnpriitnr. 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. J A 91EM /. BALDWIN. t’OX, HILL A THOMPSON. J. J. BALDWIN A CO.

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. Original] 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! ADMINISTRATOR’S SALE.

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. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer 8t Cos., Practical and Analytical Chemists, Lowell, Mass. SOU) BY ALL DRUGGISTS EVERYWHERE. g \m>vii,i.k,(ui.,.ljiii. i:.
