TAXATION.
“ The people are now taxed to death,” is
an expression frequently heard—especially
in the discussion of matters pertaining either
to State or municipal affairs, and where the
raising of money to defray the governmental
expenses of the one or the other is the object
in view, and the prime subject under consid
eration. And of the truth of the assertion,
we l>elieve the people are all of “oue mind.”
There is no doubt in the mind of the writer
as to the fact that many a town and city have
been irredeemably retarded in their march on
the high road to progression and prosperity
by the action of the “authorities that be” on
this very subject of taxation. All citizens
that arc worthy of that name and title are
ready and willing to admit that it is neces
sary to be taxed—that it is necessary to work
the roads—in short, that the government un
der which and in which they live, is obliged
to be supported; that there are certain ex
penses which are necessarily obliged to be
met. All good citizens, we repeat, acknowl
edge this, aud are ready to acquiesce in the
requirements of law and equity in the premi
ses. But while this is true, the least appear
ance even, of unequal or oppressive taxation
has a tendency to create a prejudice and en
gender an animosity in the minds of the peo
ple, which ends eventually in the annihila
tion of all the best interests of the community
or section involved. How careful then should
those who are placed at the “ head of affairs”
—either State or municipal—be in the fram
ing of statutes and ordinances of taxation, to
see that the burden falls uniformly—alike on
the rich and the poor—the white and colored.
We have been induced to throw out these
hints from the fact that complaints are con
stantly being made in regard to the system
adopted heretofore in the collection and rais
ing revenue for the town of Jefferson. We
state just here, too, that we know nothing of
the foundation for these complaints. They
may be just—they mav be erroneous. All
that we would do, in our humble sphere, is to
endeavor to impress the “ powers that be”
with the fact that anything but a fair, just,
impartial and uniform system of taxation
will, in the end, result in damaging and re
tarding in a great degree the prosperity of
the town and people. If the “ waste places
are to be built up”—if we would pull down
the “old barns” aud build new ones instead
—the laws for the government of the citizen,
while they should be wholesome and rigidly
enforced, should, nevertheless, be of such a
tone and tenor as will “ invite” instead of
“ drive off” those who would come in and
“ possess the land.”
The Fair at Athens.
From parties who were in Athens during
the past few days, we are much pleased to
learn that the Fair which opened on Tuesday
last, was quite creditable and encouraging—
taking all the surroundings in consideration.
The buildings on the Fair Ground have been
put in good order, and every inducement pos
sible offered to competitors in all the various
branches of industry—Agricultural. Mechan
ical and otherwise. The display in the agri
cultural and industrial departments was, we
learn, quite satisfactory to the most sanguine
well wisher for the advancement and pros
perity of our section. Our informants were
not on the Grounds, therefore we are only
enabled to speak from hearsay and in general
terms. But from all we have learned, we are
confident the Fair has proved quite a success
in many of its most important features, if not
in all.
The Markets.
It was our intention to give a weekly ab
stract of the “ state of the markets” of the
various business marts in which our readers
are more immediately interested, but the
time at which we are compelled to put our pa
per to press, and the scant and meagre mail
facilities which we at present enjoy, prevents
our doing so; or, at least, we could not do it
with any degree of accuracy, hence, had rath
er not attempt it at all. “ How long, oh, how
long!” shall we grope along “at this poor
dying rate ?” Wake up, fellow-citizens, and
let us have more mail facilities.
The Direct Trade Movement.
The Atlanta Independent, an ably edited
little weekly, gives its views in regard to this
subject, in the following plain and unequivo
cal language :—“ We regard the direct trade
movement as one of the most important mat
ters imaginable. Direct trade will liberate
us from the mastery of Northern houses, will
be profitable in dealings; will intimately
connect the South with foreign people, in
stead of dealing with them through others;
will acquaint the foreign world better with
our resources, habits, &c., and will dissipate
the large amount of false prejudice against.
We are for direct trade for every practical,
valid reason. We want to deal with the
world at our own ports, and in our inland
cities.”

Foreign Commerce of tbe Southern States.
The direct ocean trade movement in our
sister State of Georgia, (says the Nashville
American ,) is assuming the proportions and
enthusiasm of a rfeviv&l. Dr. Worrall, who
is canvassing the State as the representative
of the American branch of the Mississippi
Valley Trading Company, is meeting with a
snccess not even anticipated by the most
sanguine well-wisher of the enterprise. His
reception at Albany was an ovation, and
towns and cities all the way to the seaboard
seem to catch the contagion in anticipation
of his approach. Truly this is a most encour
aging symptom of the Southern reawakening
that has been only too long deferred. The
really live men of commerce in Tennessee
will watch the progress of this movement in
Georgia with no little interest. It is a move
ment the success of which affects equally the
trade future of every South-Mississippi Valley
State. It would have a marvellous vitalizing
effect upon southern railway interests and
facilitate and hasten the development of wa
ter lines of transportation that have been long
neglected. Next to the completion of Ead’s
jetties and the reclamation of the rich lands
of the Mississippi riparian States, we know
of no other thing which has so much promise
to the South, as the establishment of these
steamship lines from one of our Southeastern
ports to Liverpool.
The Eve of the Battle.
On Tuesday of next week the freemen, or
as we call them in sober times, the voters of
Ohio will meet to decide a conflict that has
been hotly raging among the cornfields for
several weeks. One side or the other will
get a very black eye. One side or the
other goes to the wall. Neither side under
values the importance of the struggle. Gov.
Allen’s election means a sweeping democrat
ic victory in Pennsylvania, and the two
mean a return to constitutional methods and
a government for the masses instead of one
partiuclarly for the capitalists. The election
of Hayes means a similar triumph in Simon
Cameron’s bailiwick, renewed energy and
effort in the party that is sectional and cor
rupt, and an attempted resumption before
the country is prepared for it. One means
measures for the relief of the people; the
other ruin for the debtor class. The no
popery cry has in a measure been lost in the
canvass, and the contest turns on questions
relating to the currency. It will be a Get
tysburg, if not a Waterloo, for the greenback
men or the hard money men.— At. Const.
Charley Ross’ Fate.
A story has been set afloat to the effect
that important witnesses against Westervelt
have not been put upon the stand by the
prosecution for the reasons : (1) that enough
proof against the prisoner has been accumu
lated to assure his conviction, and (2) that
by withholding the witnesses in question
certain matters will be kept secret which, if
revealed, would prevent the recovery of the
boy Charley Ross. Asa rider to this as
tounding statement it is added that Wester
velt is to be immediately pardoned, the price
of his pardon being the restoration of the
stolen boy. There is more of sensationalism
than wisdom in this story. That Charley
Ross is now dead, murdered directly by vio
lence or indirectly by cruel treatment by his
captors, is sadly probable ; but even if he is
still alive it is not to be for a moment credit
ed that the officers of a Philadelphia court,
the State Board of Pardons and the Govern
or of Pennsylvania would unite to juggle with
justice for the sake of securing his recovery.
So says the Philadelphia Press.
Greensboro’ Home Journal men
tions the workings of the penitentiary during
the administration of Gov. Crawford, when
they were reformatory and self-sustaining.
The Journal confesses that the vast increase
of criminals brought about by the late war
has complicated the problem, but it unquali
fiedly asserts that the present system of pun
ishment is a disgrace to our civilization.
With no religious appliances or reformatory
influences brought to bear upon the convicts,
the various camps are “ likely to become high
schools of wickedness, from whose discipline
criminals will be rendered desperate in vice,
and come forth confirmed villains to perpe
trate fresh crimes upon the communit}'. We
hope this important question, will have the
immediate attention of the press and pulpit,
and the humane and Christian consideration
of the governor and legislature.”
IdF’Comtnenting upon the rapid growth of
the Order of Patrons of Husbandry, the New
York Sun makes this significant suggestion
to Southern members of the organization :
“If from every part of the reconstructed
States the subordinate Granges would send
to their brethren elsewhere full accounts of
the actual condition of their respective local
ities, and of the wrongs they have suffered
at the hands of the present Administration
and its supporters, they would awake a sen
timent of sympathy which might have impor
tant political results.”
my Son, what are you going
to do with that club V ‘Send it to the edi
tor ;of course.’ ‘But what are you going to
send it to the editor for ?’ ‘’Cause he says
if anybody will send him a club, he will send
them a copy of his paper.’ The mother came
pretty near fainting, but retained conscious
ness enough to ask: ‘But, Tommy, dear,
what do you suppose he wants with a club ?’
‘Well, I don’t know,’ replied the hopeful
urchin, ‘unless it is to knock down subscrib
ers as don't pay for their paper.’

From Banks County.
Mr. Editor: —This being the week set
apart by law for the transaction of legal bu
siness and the adjudication of the legal rights
of the aggrieved citizens of the County of
Banks who had seen fit to submit their griev
ances to the arbitrament of the law as admin
istered by a Court and Jury, Judge Rice,
with his usual promptness, put in an appear
ance, and on Monday morning at 10 o’clock,
(sharp,) with the aid of Ex-Solicitor Marler,
organized der niasheen aud proceeded to bu
siness with a vigor that knew no abatement
till every case on the several dockets had
been disposed of’and the Court adjourned—
which it did Tuesday,, At 1 o’clock; Jaaving
tried but one case by a jury.
The people of Banks are remarkably quiet,
and are not disposed to litigate their rights;
who are the losers thereby, deponent saith
not,. We noticed, besides the local bar, the
following attorney's present: Cols. John B.
Estes, J. F. Langston, W. L. Marler and S.
C. Dunlap, Gainesville; Mr. Skelton, Hart
well ; Mr. Dortch. Carnesville; G. M. Neth
erland, Clarkesville; Sol. Gen. Speer, Ath
ens ; W. I. Pike, Jefferson, and John T. Os
born, Elberton. So you see, Mr. Editor,
“ there was nine of ’em standin’ roun’ the
door, an’ they all said they’d take sugar in
them —and a little boy, nine years old, said
he’d take a little of it killed kimV ’
Horner, the county site of Banks, is a pret
ty little village, and one of which the good
people of Banks should be proud—it is quiet,
pleasant, and prettily located. There are
three houses of worship—Methodist, Baptist
and Presbyterian. They have a first-class
school, presided over by Prof. W. 11. Simp
kins. who is a native of your county. The
music class, we opine, will be able to report
progress, as it has received instructions from
the accomplished and charming Miss Myrtie
McCarty, also of j our county. We noticed
several improvements made and being made
since our visit last April. Judge Moss is
just completing his residence on street.
which, besides being a very commodious
dwelling, will be quite an ornament to the
place. The Court House has been plastered
and otherwise embellished, and is now the
best Court House in the Western Circuit.
Other buildings, we learn, are contemplated,
which, when completed, will add greatly to
the proportions of this really pretty county
town. The citizens are clever, social and
kind, and for their universal kindness to your
correspondent, they have his lasting gratitude.
This is the home of the Hon. J. J. Turn
bull, of legislative fame, who is not only the
best legislator in the present Legislature,
from this portion of the State, but is one of
the cleverest and most genial men we ever
knew, and his accomplished wife is trulj- a help
meet for him.
Homer also has its hotel—the Sky House,
presided over by Col. A. J. West and lady,
and right well do they provide creature com
forts for the disconsolate, nine, and the balance
of mankind, and for the kind manner in
which they cared for your humble servant he
tips his beaver. May the Col. and family
never go West —may they, and all the good
citizens of Homer, live long and prosper, is
the wish of The Little Boy.
The Athens Daily Georgian.
Our acknowledgments are due Capt. 11. 11.
Carlton for copies of his daily from its first
issue up to the present time of writing. We
congratulate the Captain as well as the
Athenian public on the neat typographical,
and still more important, “newsy,” appear
ance of this new candidate for public favor
and patronage. The Daily Georgian enters
the journalistic arena with a “ vim is the
peer of any of its city contemporaries in the
State ; and last, though by no means least,
the local department, under the charge of P.
A. Stovall, Esq., promises credit alike to the
young gentleman himself as well as his newly
chosen vocation.
An Important Law.
The following extract we make from an
act of the last legislature :
Section I.—“Be it enacted by the general
assembly of the State of Georgia, That, from
and after the passage of this act, it shall not
be lawful for any scalesman, salesman or
other person in any of the cities, towns or
villages of this state to weigh any bale, bag
or package of cotton, tierce of rice or any
other article of produce disposed of by weight,
without first taking and subscribing an oath
before some person authorized by law to
administer it, that he will justly, impartially,
and without deduction, weigh all such cotton
and all other articles of produce, disposed
of by weight, that may be shown to him for
that purpose, and render a true account
thereof to the part}' or parties concerned, if
so required.”
It will be seen that the matter of deduc
tion for water in cotton is to be adjusted
between the buyer and seller and not by the
weigher. Indeed, the weigher swears not to
make the deduction.— Exchange.
Important Opinion.— The attorney gene
ral, (says the Atlanta Constitution) at the re
quest of the Governor, delivered a written
opinion that “ Ilowe’s Great London Circus”
could not be taxed by counties and munici
pal carporations under the tax act of 1875,
but only for license fees, as authorized by
law. This decision is an important one to
showmett generally, who may visit our State.
Competitive Examination.
The Secretary of War has invited me to

Mr. Jack Shira died two or three miles be

death was confined to his bed 78 days, during
which time he had not eat a tea-cupful of
food. He complained but little, and up to
within two or three days before his death he
could converse sensibly, and could raise up
and put his feet off the bed, although a mere
skeleton. —Franklin News.
The Vindicator reports the sale of 16,000
pounds of dried peaches to two firms in
Greenville, which was not more than one
fourth the amount of the dried fruit crop
of Meriwether, and adds : “From this esti

the county, in this single item, was worth
between $6,000 and $7,000. Add to this the
large amount of brandy made this year, which
will sell readily at two dollars per gallon, and
our readers will perceive that the raising of
fruit is an important and profitable part of
a farmer’s business.

A Beautiful Woman.
In a neighboring village there lives a
young lady who, two years ago, was an
object of pity to all who knew her. From a
little imprudence at an improper time, she
became irregular, and was the victim of sup
pression in all its horrors. Such were the
ravages of the disease, she was miserable
and unfit for social enjoyment. After trying
many remedies, and paying much money to
physicians, a friend sent her a couple of bot
tles of Regulator. She improved after
taking the first, and before taking the second
she became sound and well. Now, two
years after taking the first bottles, she is
fully restored to her former health, and is a
most beautiful woman. Proper respect for
the family, prevents our giving the name.

The Original American Tea Company,
of New York, of which Robt. Wells is President,

of New York, but all over the country, until now
teas reach every section. The leading press of the
city and of hundreds of places in the country have
endorsed it as perfectly reliable, and parties wish
ing excellent teas at low prices, can with perfect
confidence send to this company for them. Their
teas are put up in one pound packages, with the
kind and price printed on the wrappers ; also, in
boxes containing 5, 10, 20 and 30 pounds. They
range in price from 40 cents to $1,30 per pound.
Our merchants can have samples mailed to their
