The Good Time Coming!
Ah, yes ! Asa drowning man catches a
straw, so we grasp, eagerly, anything savor
ing of a “ better day a* coming.” On this
subject, the Savannah News says:
“ The Good Time Coming .”—A hopeful
view of the present business depression is
taken by some of the leading financial jour
nals of the North. Their reasons for it may
be briefly summarized thus : The California
mines in 1876 will produce $100,000,000 in
gold ; the excess of our exports over our im
ports will be $70,000,000 ; we are nearly out
of debt; our economy in the past three years
has been unparalleled; and, lastly, our enor
mous crops, coupled with a failure in Europe,
will produce a permanent foreign demand.
These arguments, among others used, are
based upon facts which, though they may
not be entirely reliable, are, it is thought, at
least worthy of consideration. It is hardly
possible for business matters to become
worse than they are at present, and there is
encouragement in the thought that any
change must be for the better. There is
consolation too in the fact that thus far the
South has borne the evils of the times quite
as well as the North, and that her people are
to-day, considering all the circumstances, in
a better condition, with a more hopeful pros
pect of a speedy recuperation, than those of
the commercial and maunfacturing sections
of the country. Let our people take courage
then and wait with patience for “the good
time coming.”
Gen. John B. Gordon,
U. S., Senator from Georgia, by invitation,
delivered an address upon the political ques
tions of the day, in the Hall of the House of
Representatives, in the city of Atlanta, on
Tuesday evening of last week. From a syn
opsis of his speech, published in the Consti
tution, we clip the following extract:—
The danger of the south lay in the appre
hensions amused among the thinking men of
the north more than in passion and prejudice.
Morton had read in the senate Gen. Toombs’
speech, and it had gone abroad to the north
as endorsed by the people of Georgia, and as
carrying the intention of this people to form
a government under a fundamental law which
would put the negro where he never would be
heard from. That speech he declared to be
the greatest calamity that had befallen our
people since the surrender of our armies. The
people* o€ the south were now called upon to
fight the Christian's fight—against the world,
the flesh and—the senator from Indiana!
[Laughter.]
The Convention question was one, the pro
a - 03 - *■ i-nly- , , Kn lo.fi
to the legislature, but if one was to bo called
it should be done at the earliest possible mo
ment, in order that from its labors the north
might see that our people only desired to
make their own government for reasons of
public policy—to limit the terms of officers
to shorter periods, excise executive patronage
and stop the growing evil of debt-making
and consequent high taxation—to form a
government whose foundation shall be equal
and exact justice to men of all colors and
creeds. [Applause.]
National politics were touched upon with
reference to the prospects for a democratic
triumph. He believed the party would suc
ceed upon a platform made up on sound
principles and with a man nominated who
could truly represent them. The year would be
auspicious and there were thousands and hun
dreds of thousands who were awaiting the
coming of November to free themselves from
the burdens and oppressions of this party of
incompetents, corruptionists and tyrants.
The Senator gave evidence of a careful
study of the situation, and his views were
expreseed in a clear and dispassionate man
aer- The audience was highly delighted, and
fits patriotic sentiments were roundly applaud
ed.
Strange Freak of Lightning.
Our readers, we presume, will remember
hard rain, accompanied by thunder, of
Monday morning i ith inst. From the Wash
ington Gazette get the following particu
lars of a “freak of lightning” in that city on
the morning referred to :
The charge struck a telegraph pole just beyond
the depot and came on to town on the wires. Only
a portion of the charge, however, came on the
wires, as was evident from the fact that there was
a considerable hole in the ground near the foot of
the pole, made by the electricity coming dowgjthe
post and entering the earth at that point. ‘The
wires were melted this side of the post for the dis
tance of three spans, and near the post which was
■truck they were almost consumed, being melted
into small particles. Mr. Ahearn, who resides
near the place, brought us a handful of the small
fragments, showing how complete the destruction
of tne wire was. The fluid followed the wires to
the telegraph office, but fortunately did not find
the accomplished operator, Miss Ella Smith, in, as
it was not time to open the office. It melted the
attachment between two plates of brass with
which the wires are connected before they reach
the instrument, and then was carried off by a wire
attached to the instrument for the purpose, to a
post just outside in the street, and then by this
last named wire to the ground. But instead of
going down into the ground, as was intended it
should, it took another course, and went dancing
and sizzing through the entire length of the long
room occupied by Messrs. Dußose & Duncan as a
store. The post to which this ground wire, as it
is called, is attached for the purpose of carrying
off electricity, is sunk into the ground some three
or four feet from the track laid by Messrs. Dußose
Jb-'Pwrcan, for carrying goods on a hand car into
their store, and which extends the entire length of
the building and across the sidewalk in front.—
The lightning jumped from the post to the iron rail
on the track, tearing up the earth on the sidewalk
between the post and rail, and followed the iron
through the entire length of the room, discharging
itself m the ground, we suppose, at the rear end.
The only person in the store at the time was the
clerk,. Master Sam Jones. He says there appear
ed to be w ball of tire which passed along with in
calculable rapidity the entire length ot the rail
and discharged itself with an explosion at the
farther extremity. A gentleman stopping at Don
nelly’s Hotel, happened to be looking from his
window which overlooked the rear of the store,
says that it had the appearance, of a ba.ll from a
Roman candle just as it explodes, when the charge
left the end of the rail.

The Legislature.
Wednesday last was the day fixed upon
for the adjournment of this body. A full
caption of all Acts passed will, it is presumed,
appear at an early daj\ These we shall lay
before our readers as soon as possible. In
“gleaning” over the proceedings since our
last dates we find the following matters of
local and general interest:—
In the Senate on the 15th, the “dog bill”
of the House was voted down. In the House,
same day, the special order being the consid
eration of the bill to amend the act to loan
the credit of the state to the Marietta, Can
ton and Ellijav railroad and for other purpo
ses, was taken up and after discussion, inde
finitely postponed. This bill was known as
the "State aid” bill. In the Senate on the
16th, the bill to provide for the payment of
insolvent costs in Jackson county passed.
In the Senate on the 17th, the special com
mittee appointed to consider the bill to li
cense the keeping of dogs, &c., reported a
substitute, providing for the recovery of dam
age, done by dogs in sheep killing, etc., which
was passed, after discussion, pro aud con. In
the House on the 18th, the bill to authorize
W. B. Elrod, of Jackson county, to peddle
without license, was lost, on the third read
ing. On the same day the bill to provide for
the payment of insolvent costs to the officers
of Clarke county was passed on third read
ing. A bill to amend the laws of limitation
in this State was also passed.
In the Senate on the 19th, the bill to con
solidates the officers of superior court clerk
and treasurer of Jackson county was taken
up and passed. Also, a bill to repeal an act
to allow justices of the peace to award costs
against the prosecutors or accused in their
discretion. Passed.
In the House, 19th, the bill to regulate the
sale of liquor in Jackson county was passed.
In the House, on the 21st, the following,
among other bills, were passed :
To amend the act for the prevention of
cruelty to animals.
To repeal all local laws and ordinances
inconsistent with section 2,563 of the code.
To provide a jury in justice’s courts in
causes of forcible entry and detainer and
forcible detainer.
To authorize connty school commissioners
and members of connty boards of education,
to administer oaths. - -
When the bill to authorize Peterson
Thweatt to sue the State cams up Mr. Potts
offered an amendment by inserting “25 cents
on an audited account of J. M. Potts for ser
vices to the late confederate states.” Capt.
Potts made a strong speech in support of his
amendment. (Applause)
Mr. Nelms offered an amendment by ex
tending its provisions to the widow and
orphans of Jack Carltou, a former represen
tative of Campbell county.
Mr. Harrison offered an amendment to
insert after the name of P. Thweatt the words
“and all other claimants of the same date
holding claims against the state.”
Mr. Williams opposed the amendments
and favored the bill.
Mr. Allred opposed the bill. He, like Mr.
Thweatt, was in a bomb-proof position
during the war. They thought Gov. Brown
a clever man (and so he is) because he paid
them in state treasury notes instead of Con
federate money. He, like Thweatt, snatched
the Georgia notes. He, had them yet and
iiMn’t u.o st.itft to nav them
Mr. Nelms advocated his amendment on
the score of equity and right.
Mr. Turnbull favored the bill.
Mr. Rankin offered an amendment appro
priating $20,000 for the armless and legless
confederate soldiers who served the Confed
erate States without fee or reward. (Ap
plause.)
Mr. Warren, supported the bill on the
score of economj’. He wanted the pressure
lifted from the house and placed upon the
courts. [Applause.]
He read from ancient anthonty an anec
dote about the unfortunate widow. [Ap
plause.]
He didn’t want the next legislature or the
tax payers troubled any more. Let us
change the venue. “Let the cld man have a
chance.” [Laughter.} Let us turn him
over to the courts.
Mr. Harrison opposed the bill. Mr.
Thweatt took the treasury notes in payment
of the debt due him. .
Mr. Miller, of Marion moved to indefinite
ly postpone the bill and amendments, and
called the previous question. The call was
sustained, and the motion to indefinitly
postpone prevailed by yeas 73, nays 70.
Horrors of Remorse.
The Huntingdon Advertiser has this about
a woman whom a West Virginia mob shrank
from hanging: “Mrs. Meehlings, the con
fessed accomplice in the murder of her hus
band, is beyond doubt the most wretched fe
male ever incarcerated in the jail ofßarbours
ville. To her death would be a most wel
come messenger, but her guilt-stained heart
has not the courage to suggest suicide, and,
did she entertain such a thought, her hands
would be too cowardly to assist in the self
murder. By day goary-stained phantoms flit
before her gaze, while her sleep is accompani
ed with dreams of skeletons, and fiends dance
around her bedside, their mocking laugh de
riding her for the assassination of her hus
band. When asked, a few days ago, what
troubled her most, ‘the past or the future,’
she answered, ‘the horrible past!’ She paces
up and down her strongly-barred room wish
ing for death, and occasionally dashes her
hands into her eye 9, as if to keep from her
gaze the awful scenes attending the inhuman
butchery of her husband. She has wasted in
flesh to such an extent since her imprison
ment as to present the appearance of an ani
mated skeleton; her appetite has deserted
her, her mind is on the verge of losing its
sway, and terrible indeed must be her expec
tations respecting the issue of her approach
ing trial for murder.”
This week we examined some of the speci
mens of leather tanned and finished by Mr.
D. A. Moore, in from five to eight days, and
must say that it had every appearance of
being as good leather as any that ever
remained in the vats for six months. Mr. M.
informs us that under this new process,
which is a patented secret, he can turn out
his entire stock of hides once every thirty
days, wherein it requires six months under
the old process to get out good leather. An
earnest effort is being made to organize a
stock company for the purpose of purchasing
the right, and the establishing of a tannery
on an extensive scale. —Brunswick Appeal.

The State Road Lease.
The joint special committee appointed to
investigate the alleged charges of bribery by
the lease company in securing the endorse
ment from the Legislature of 1872, report
that they find no evidence to sustain the
charge. Gov. Brown testified that $21,000
were paid to lawyers and newspapers to pro
tect the interests of the lease company, and
defend and sustain the lease before the
Courts and the people, and before the mem
bers of the Legislature. About $12,000
were paid to papers. The contract did not
include editorial columns. The following
amounts were paid : To the Atlanta Consti
tution, $5,000; Journal and Messenger
(Macon), $2,000 ; Augusta Constitutionalist,
$2,000; Rev. W. Watkins Hicks, editor of
the Macon , $540; Ben May, for news
papers and attorneys fees, $5,000; J: P.
Simmons, attorney, $1,000; George N. Les
ter, attorney, $1,000; Herbert Fielder, attor
ney, $1,500. Smaller amounts were paid
other papers and parties, making in all
$21,000. There was not a particule of evi
dence to sustain the charge of money paid
to any member of the Legislature. The
report and evidence has been ordered print
ed.^—Special Dis. Chron. <Sf Sent.
Just for the novelty of the thing—not that
we care the “ flip of a bean” for Joe Brown
or anything he has done or may do—we
would like to know the difference between
obtaining the lease of the State road through
the instrumentality of $21,000, and the man
ner in which a great many other things have
been obtained at the hands of tl;e legislature
in daj r s past ? Now, we desire to be fully
nnderstsod. We are not charging Mr. J. E.
B. with doing anything wrong; nor do we
charge any one else with doing wrong; what
we are after is “ light.” Hence, the question
is repeated, what is the difference ? Take
for instance, the State Printing. Have not
gentlemen in whose offices not a t}-pe was
ever set or a sheet of paper handled—of the
public work—received hundreds and thou
sands of dollars as their quota of the profits ?
What quid pro quo have these gentlemen ever
given as a “ set off” to this money, with the
exception of their influence in electing Mr.
A. or Mr. B. State printer ? Again, we say,
no one is charged with wrong; the fact is,
if we are to judge by the actions of our best
people, (so called,) it is very hard for any one
to do wrong now-a-days, especially where
money is the end in view ; what we seek is
“ light and knowledge.” Tell us the differ
ence. And lastly, isn’t this whole matter a
very apt illustration of goat-shearing :—“ A
great cry and mighty little wool!”
Lee and Longstreet.|
A letter from General Fitz Hugh Lee has
been called out by that of Gen. Longstreet,
written to his uncle, July 24, 1863, and say
ing that the battle of Gett3’Bburg was not
fought as he “ would have had it.” General
Fitz Hugh Lee says : “ Longstreet’s letter to
his uncle is first-rate in temper and tone, if
it is genuine, and only given to the public in
his self-defense. His splendid corps is en
camped in the hearts of all true Southerners.
His own courage and soldierly wisdom dur
ing the war were of the highest order. Tf he
uau a umerent plan uu ueu.ysuurg up
on, and it was given to General Lee before
the battle, and General Lee had written since
regretting he had not adopted it, I am one of
those who are desirous to give him alt the
credit for military sagacity General Lee him
self (if all this be true) was willing to confer,
but in common with an army of Confederates,
I ask for all the facts in the case, and espe
cially the whole of the letter said to have
been written in January, 1864, and of which
only one short sentence has beeu published.”
Senator John B. Gordon and General
A. H. Colquitt, the one President and the
other Vice President of the Georgia branch
of the Southern Life Insurance Company, are
here to-day looking after the affairs of this
bankrupt institution. As these two gentle
men have been enjoying large salaries (from
five to ten thousand per year) and doing but
little service in return, the policy holders
here are expressing themselves in very decid
ed terms. Many of these persons have lost
from one to two thousand dollars by this fail
ure, and they contend that enormous salaries,
splendid officers and extravagance in the
general conduct of the affairs of the company
were the real cause of its final failure, which
was fully predicted some time ago by that
shrewd financier, Mr. Wm. Henry Woods, of
your city. Generals Gordon and Colquitt
will be compelled to make a very clear show
ing of their transactions to relieve themselves
of the censure that is now so severely bestow
ed upon them by the patrons of their compa
ny.—At. Cor. Sav. News.
GP’That was an interesting and impres
sive re-union of six brothers—Messrs. Rhodes
—at their old homestead, near Barnett, on the
15th of the present month. These brothers
had been separated for 20 years. A writer
in the Chronicle $• Sentinel, Augusta, ,in
speaking of this meeting remarks:— “The
meeting of these six brothers at the old
homestead is a remarkeble occurrence. They
are in strong, mutual sympathy and are
members of the Baptist Church. The meet
ing was characterized by a varied interest.
While much of their pleasure consisted in
boisterous merriment—-in bringing up remin
iscences of childhood—they did not neglect
to sing praises to God and to unite their
voices in prayers to the Throne of Mercies.
The touching beauty of the occasion dis
played by these brothers when they repaired
to the grave of their mother can be better
anticipated than described. Their separa
tion from the old homestead and from each
other called forth expressions of sentiments
which showed they realized the improbabilty
of ever in life experiencing a similar meet
ing.”
tdPMr. John H. Jame 9 (9ays the Savannah
News) is a little more enterprising than the
rest of the gubernatorial aspirants. He has
engaged a poet by the name of Gaines, and
Gaines, look you, is a hard man to handle
when it comes to slinging rhymes. What
could be finer or portray the unselfishness of
the poet in deeper colors than the following ?
“ It is no selfish sordid love, that inspires the
popular voice, we shout the name of John H.
James, because he is the people’s choice.”
Like the linnet, Gaines sings because he can
not help but sing, as the following will show :
“ Then let the people all unite, until each
man the truth proclaims, and make the hills
and valleys ring, hurrah ! hurrah ! for John H.
James.” If any of the other candidates
would like things of this sort, we can furnish
them with the address of several journeymen
poets.
Preparations for the Issue of Silver Coin.
A Washington special to the Baltimore
Gazette says the Secretary of the Treasury is
maturing his plans for the immediate issue of
subsidiary silver coin in lieu of fractional
currency. The amount on hand is in round
numbers $14,000,000, distributed as follows:
In Boston, $4,000,000; New York, $3,500,-
000; St. Louis, $700,000; Philadelphia,
$500,000 ; Baltimore, $400,000 ; San Francis
co, $300,000. In Cincinnati, Chicago, Charles
ton and New Orleans over a million of dol
lars is stored, while there is still not distrib
uted and in the mints over $3,000,000. It is
understood to be the purpose of the Secretary
of the Treasury to issue fractional currency
to the limit of fifty million dollars. This will
enable him to make due allowance for the loss
of some fourteen million dollars that will
never be presented for redemption, and at the
same time permit, under the provisions of the
resumption act, the issue of fully twelve mil
lion dollars in silver in excess of the demand
for business purposes, while it will also guard
against the possibility of the silver being
hoarded. Within a few week 9 the jingle of
silver may be expected and the cremation of
fractional currency begun. The Senators who
were strong advocates of specie resumption
complain of Secretary Bristow’s tardiness,
and say he should have begun resumption
several weeks ago.
Shooting Affray.
A serious difficulty occurred at Donnelly’s
Hotel, in Washington, Wilkes county, on
Wednesday night, 16th, between Dr. B. I. A.
Cull and Mr. James A. Benson. Dr. Cull is
a native of this place, but has been living in
Southwest Georgia for many years. The par
ties, says the Washington Gazette, got into an
angry dispute on some business matter, and
Mr. Benson struck Dr. Cull, when Dr. Cull
drew his pistol and fired three shots in rapid
succession, but, fortunately for both parties,
without effect. The difficulty was then ended
b3 r the interference of friends. The officers
of the law soon came upon the scene and ar
rested both parties.
Rock Mills, Ala., on the 16th,
two young men named Prator and Hendon
were out hunting wild turkeys. Neither of
them knew of the presence of the other in the
woods, but both of them were “yelping” in
imitation of the peculiar noise made by tur
keys, and as it was nearly dark, and objects
could not be distinguished at a distance, and
upon getting in close proximity to each other
John Prator fired and shot Frank Hendon,
killing him instantly. Prator’s gun was a
rifle, and the bullet entered Hendon’s heart
and he never breathed afterwards. The young
men were warm and sincere friends.

Notions and Confectioneries,
Ever Brought to Georgia,
Which he sells both Wholesale and Retail, ex
pressly to merchants, at
Lower Prices
Than can be bought from any other wholesale
house in the State. I buy my Goods myself, in
New York, direct from the importers. If any one
from Jackson county should visit Gainesville, 1
invite them to call and
see MY show!
Bigger than Barnum’s, free of charge. Gentle
men who have sweethearts and ladies with or
without them are all invited to come and see the
nice presents.
Were I to attempt to name one-half of the vast
number of articles on exhibition, it would cover
the whole of this newspaper. Don’t fail to come
and see for yourselves. Respectfully,
