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.” t McDermed sells the cheapest Oil and Lamps, at Kilgore's stand, Athens. A Gilmer county boy fourteen years old weighs one hundred and seventy pounds. 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.’ North Carolina Convention has. by a vote of 53 to 56, refused to remove the disabilities of ex Governor Holden, impeach ed in 1871, upon the ground that the oath of the members prescribed by the Legislature, restricted them from legislative action. 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 nominate “a legally qualified candidate for appointment as cadet to the United States Military Academy from the ninth Congres sional district of Georgia, in place of E, A. Garlington. to graduate in 1876.” QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED BY LAW. Candidates must be between seventeen and twenty-two years of age ; must be at least five feet in height, and free from any inflec tions or immoral disorder, and generally from any deformity, disease, or infirmity which may render them unfit for militarj T service. They must reside in the District from which the appointment is made, and must be well versed in reading, in writing, including orthography, and in arithmetic, and have a knowledge of the elements of English grammar, of descriptive geography, particularly of our and of the history of the United States. I respectfully request each of the papers of the District to publish this notice, and all candidates who have made application are notified to appear at Gainesville on the day appointed. Bknj. 11. Hill. Octobor Ist, 1875. STATE NEWS ITEMS. Mr. James U. Vincent was recently mar ried to Miss Louise J. Styles, daughter of Col. Carev W. Styles, of the Albany News. A Montezuma man ate three pounds of steak, four biscuits, five cups of coffee and a dozen scrambled eggs at one sitting the other day. The Georgia railroad is now running a night passenger train between Macon and Augusta, leaving the former city at 9 o’- clock. This will prove a great accommo dation to the traveling public. This is a Newnan personal: “Colonel Whitaker, of Hdgansvilte, and Major Nor wood, of Grantviile, were not on. very good terms until they were both jilted by the same widow. Now they are as affectionate as twin brothers.” The Meriwether Vindicator has heard of a farmer in Heard county who, missing his hogs, fed them on arsenic just before a color ed camp-meeting assembled in his neighbor hood, and it is said there were some of the sickest darkies and busiest doctors at that camp-meeting ever seen anywhere else in the State. A woman living on Dr. Dixon’s place went out in the woods the other day and broke a stump down and carried it home a distance something less than half a mile. When she threw her burden down and split it open, what was her surprise to see a large Moccasin coiled up in it, fully alive to all the surroundings. She escaped.— News and Farmer. Mr. Jack Shira died two or three miles be low this place last week, whose case is the most remarkable on record. He was proba bly four score years of age, and before his 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 mate it will be seen that the peach crop of 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 Compliment. —lion. W. S. Williams, of Canada, who has been in attendance upon the Grand Lodge Good Templars, has made a host of friends. Just before the adjourn ment of that body, at Gainesville, it present ed, through Grand Chief Thrower, a beauti ful gold-headed cane to Mr. Williams, bear ing the following inscription: PRESENTED TO HON. W. S. WILLIAMS, BY THE GRAND LODGE , I. 0. G. TANARUS., OF GEORGIA. October 1, 1875. A Covington lady desired a setter pup. Her husband bought her one and she named it Ed. Ed has been at the lady’s house just two weeks. Up to this time he has killed nine little chickens, chawed up one mattress, carried off two pair of shoes, and destroyed one parasol and three pair of stockings. The pup has also run every cat from the place and eat the pig’s tail off. besides poking its mouth into every dish and plate of eatables which has been cooked on the place. No eggs have been found since the first day the dog arrived. In a month Edward will be large enough to kill sheep, and then the good lady will have a few hours of peace.— Ent. Oil, 25 cents per gallon, at Kilgore’s stand, Athens. CdF* James M. Calhoun, Esq., one of the oldest and most prominent citizens of Atlan ta, died of Paralysis, on Friday night of last week. He had filled many positions of trust and honor during his life, and all phases of his existence gave indubitable evidence that be was one of nature’s hoblest works—“ an honest man.” Money and Life Saved by its Use. Important Discovery. —Galileo in vented the telescope ; Columbus discovered a now world ; Harvey, the circulation of the' l|!ood, and to Professor Morse is due the credit of teaching the lightning how to talk, but it was reserved to Dr. J. Bradfield to penetrate the mystic depths of science, and drag therefrom the wonder of our century. The victory has been won, and woman is free. The sale of Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female Regulator is unprecedented in the history of popular remedies, and thousands of certifi cates are coming in from grateful women, throughout the Union, attesting its powers and applauding its untold benefits to their sex. 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. 0 Excellent Tea*. The Original American Tea Company, of New York, of which Robt. Wells is President, was established in 1840, and since that time has been steadily gaining in favor, not only in the city 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 address by enclosing 10 cents for each sample. The company wish reliable agents in every town to get up clubs amongst families for their teas, and offer great inducements. Send for our circu lar. Address always, Robt. Wells, Pres’t 43 Vescy St., New York. Sept 25—3 m the Augusta Constitutionalist of Wednesday : “Georgia raised a magnificent provision crop this year. She will have to buy some meat, but precious little grain or long forage. We insist, therefore, that we are in splendid condition. The only direc tion in which an immediate improvement can be made is to increase our hog crop. The laws must be more rigidly enforced for steal ing and killing them. Perhaps if the crime was made a felony it would do much toward protecting farmers.” { Pratt, of the internal revenue bureau, decides that a farmer who has bought a barrel of liquor for his own use, can not sell any of it without taking a license as a retail or wholesale liquor dealer. Neith er can a retail dealer close out his stock at wholesale—that is, in quantities of five gal lons or more—without a wholesale dealer’s license. But he can transfer his liquors to a dealer that has paid the tax, to sell for him on commission, without incurring a further liability.— At. Constitution. John E. Caldwell, a highly re spected citizen of Gainesville, died on Thurs day morning of last week. If we mistake not, Maj. Caldwell had been in bad health for some years, and was laboring under some aberration of mind at times. He had been, for many years, a prominent member of the Presbyterian church. Five cattle just imported from Canada by Mark R. Cockerill, of Nashville, for himself and other parties, are valued at $40,000 <3leu> JUmtisements.
