To Correspondents.
For reasons satisfactory to the minds of
the “ Executive Committee” of our Publish
ing Company—to whom communications are
referred before publication—some manu
scripts on file are omitted this week. To the
highly esteemed young gentleman—author of
••The Siamese Twins,” we beg leave to say,
that in the opinion of “ all in authority,” on
the subject principally treated in his commu
nication, enough has been already said; the
whole matter has assumed too much of a
” windy” shape, and our respected young
friend will see from what appears this week,
that there is a disposition to close the “mills,”
and such confidence have we in his good sense
and judgment, that we do not believe he
would, designedly, add any more “fuel to the
flame.”
COLQUITT FOR GOVERNOR.
We d<Pnot believe that candidates for of
fice should be nominated by newspapers—nor
that the views of editors in regard to who
should hold office should be blindly followed
by the people ; hence wc have had nothing to
say for or against the different names spoken
of in connection with the office of Governor.
We do think, however, that in Georgia—where
the candidate who receives the nomination of
the Democratic party, in Convention assem
bled. (if he is a good and worthy man,) will
certainly be elected—the contest should be
made and fought between the different candi
dates before the Convention meets. There
fore, it is right and proper that the opinions
of the hard-fisted, bony-lmnded laborers who
support and maintain the Government, pay
the tax, bear the burdens and do the voting,
should be published ; and further, for this
once, we believe they should be respected.
The voice of those people, as we gather it
from our exchanges, is sounding the name of
Colquitt for Governor.
\\ e are glad of this for several reasons
First, because we believe lie is honest and
capable. Second, because he is modest and
has not, in our opinion, thrust his name be
fore the people. Third, because he is deserv
ing. Last, though not least, because he wore
the grey in the thickest of the fight, and “ il
lustrated” Georgia’s valor in the times that
tried mens’ souls.
Georgians will honor themselves in honor
ing so pure a man as Colquitt. Our personal
preference is for him. We believe there is no
one spoken of in connection with the office of
Governor who would reflect more credit on
the office than he; and we do verily believe
that the working-men want him. While we
say tliis, we would most cheerfully support
many of the other gentlemen whose names
have been spoken of, and any one of a host of
others in Georgia, should either of them be
fairly nominated bv the Convention. We be
lieve in party unity and concord, and in this
centennial year—which is big with the fate
of Caesar and of Rome—we say let there be
unity by all means; and believing that the
nomination of Colquitt will secure that result,
wc favor him.
Facts and Rumors from Washington.
\\ ashington. May 12.—The Committee on
Elections considered Platt vs. Goode. The
Committee on the expenditures of the Treas
ury Department re-opened by considering the
inule case. The House resumed the appro
priation bill. The tenor of the debate indi
cates the free carrier system will not be dis
turbed where it now exists, but heroafter will
not be allowed to cities of less than 40,000.
The bill as it stands would deprive 55 cities
of the carrier system where it now exists.
Mr. Hendricks is here. The Indian Ap
propriation bill has been completed. There
is a reduction of two million on the last j'ear.
The Sub-Committee will continue the Daven
port investigation in New York. Surgeon
Geo. M. Stcrberg is relieved from duty in the
Department of the Gulf.
Ihe Accidental and Oriental Steamship
Company notify the Postmaster-General they
will not carry the mails to China and Japan
for sea postage after this month. As the
Postmaster-General has no authority to give
more, the service will stop. The mails will
leave only once a month by Pacific Mail
Steamers.
The Georgia Press Association.
The Georgia Press Association closed a
three days session at Savannah on the 12th.
The representation was the largest since its
organization. The usual hospitalities were
tendered by the proprietor of the Morning
Neics. After business there was an excur
sion to Bonaventure, Thunderbolt, Tybee
and Isle of Hope. There was an exhibition
of the fire department. The members visited
prominent places of interest. Great harmo
ny and fraternal feeling prevailed.

Judge King. President. There was no op
position. There was only one change in the
Board of Directors, Frank H. Miller, Esq.,
being elected in place of Antoine Poullain,
Esq., who declined a re-election. The unan
imous reflection by the Board of Directors
of 8. K. Johnson, Esq., to the position of
Superintendent, is a handsome compliment
to the fidelity and energy of an efficient offi

his management.— Chron. Sent.
THE FOURTH OF JULY, 1876.
In order that this memorable day may be
handed down to posterity in such a manner
at to embrace the entire country, and that the
one hundredth anniversary of American In
dependence may be generally celebrated,
Congress recently passed the following reso
lution :
“Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America, in Congress assembled, That it be,
and is hereby recommended by the Senate
and House of Representatives to the people
of the several States, that they assemble in
their several counties or towns on the ap
proaching Centennial Anniversary of Nation
al Independence, and that they cause to have
delivered on such day an historical sketch of
said county or town from its formation, and
that a copj r of said sketch may be filed, in
print or manuscript, in the Clerk’s office of
said county, and an additional copy, in print
or manuscript, be filed in the office of the
Librarian of Congress, to the intent that a
complete record may be thus obtained of the
progress of our institutions during the first
Centennial of their existence.”
The spirit and purpose of this resolution
strikes us as eminently proper. It will serve
to refresh tike minds of our people with spine
thing of the history of the times which “ tried
mens’ souls,” and when “ millions were offer
ed for redress, hut not a cent for tribute.”
The heroic struggles of our ancestors in the
first revolution have, to a great extent, been
lost amid the disasters of the second, and we
need something to teach the rising generation
the original cost of liberty and representative
government, as well as the importance of per
petuating its principles, and holding them in
violate through all coming time.
Since the late war, the South has not felt
the same degree of respect for our National
holiday as in the olden time. There is no
good reason for this. The glorious scenes
that cluster around the 4th of July, 1776,
found a resting place, broad as earth, in South
ern hearts, and Southern soil is the capacious
urn which contains the ashes of her most il
lustrious heroes.
Independence Day is not exclusively a
Northern institution, and we are not willing
to surrender the large share of Southern valor
which planted the Tree of Liberty in this soil
and watered it with Southern blood. Born in
Southern hearts, fed by Southern brains, and
led on to victory by Southern chivalry, can
Southern men forget their birth-day P Nay ;
when the names of Richard Henry Lee, Pat
rick Ilenrv, Thomas Jefferson, and George
Washington shall have been forgotten, then,
and not till then, can their countrymen forget
the day for which they pledged “ their lives,
their fortunes, and their sacred honor.” By
Lee the first move for Independence was
made ; the burning eloquence of Henry sound
ed the first note in the listening ears of
tyrants, the stern pen of Jefferson first gave
it form, and Washington, “ first in war, first
in peace, and first in the hearts of his coun
trymen,” led the van which enrolled it on the
calendar of nations.
The history of our people needs be better
known than hitherto ; and if properly carried
out, the foregoing resolution of Congress
would greatly facilitate the labors of the fu
ture historian in giving an account of all that
pertains to the true history of any country—
a feature that has been almost entirety ig
nored by writers of both ancient and modern
times, simply, perhaps, for want of material.
We have thus referred to this subject for
the purpose of directing the attention of the
people of Jackson county to the recommenda
tions of the resolution itself. We hope they
will secure the services of someone compe
tent and willing to prepare a historical sketch
that will fully carry out the wishes of Con
gress, and at the same time faithfully and
accurately perpetuate the history of the coun
ty —said by men of extended learning and
observation to be one of the best in the Em
pire State of the South.
The representatives of the olden time are
fast passing away. Soon the places which
first knew their steps when this county was a
primeval forest, will knoifr them no more.—
Their intensely interesting narratives of the
days of their early childhood will pass away
with them, and if their knowledge is ever
transmitted to posterity, it must pass on from
father to son as in the days when the art of
printing was unknown.
There are a few old people among us, ster
ling and honorable to the last degree, around
whose lives cluster many romantic scenes—
scenes which, if truly and faithfully written,
would be equally as interesting as any that
were ever born in the brain of fancy. From
these and a few old musty records that may
be found on file in the Court House, much
valuable information connected with the early
history of town and county can be obtained,
and in the aggregate would be read with as
much interest by the present and coming
generations as the wildest scenes that ever
evolved from the fertile brains of Scott and
Bulwer.
In order to carry out the recommendations
of Congress, we do not propose to make the
Centennial Anniversary of American Inde
pendence an occasion for the display of elo
quence and show in Jackson county ; but for
an aggregation of facts that will illustrate our
history as far back as we can go, and thus
place upon record a short account of events
that will be as interesting to those who may
live a century hence as the events which oc
curred in this county one hundred years ago
would be to us.
If these views meet with a response from
any portion of our people, why not take steps
at an early day looking to the selection of
someone that will represent us on 4he 4th of
July next in such a manner as will be credit
able to ourselves and beneficial to posterity.

The Two-Thirds Rule.
The Richmond Dispatch has a forcible and
sensible editorial on the two-thirds rule.
Among other ideas advanced, it Ba} S: —
“We are glad to see that a number of the
Democratic and Conservative journals of the
country have come to the conclusion that the
Democratic National Convention ought to
provide that a majority of that body shall
make the nominations for President and
Vice-President. * * * * The rule of
the majority is the natural rule of men. They
would hardly seek any other rule unless un
der peculiar circumstances. The two-thirds
rule is well calculated to bring to the front
new men, and perhaps we might say incom
petents. It is a premium offered to malcon
tents and grumblers. It notifies one-third of
the members of the Nominating Convention
that they may prevent two-thirds (or one less
than two-thirds) from having their way. It
enables men of small abilities and little fame
to U9e the organization of the part}’ to further
their own interest. It causes a great deal of
time to be unnecessarily wasted, in uncandid
balloting. It enables a large delegation to
acquire an undue influence, since by chang
ing their solid vote from one aspirant to an
other. as a favorable occasion offers, they at
tract attention to themselves and become the
object of intrigue and corruption. It puts a
inan of profound abilities, wide reputation
and great experience below or at best upon
an equality with the least qualified of the as
pirants, since the very facts which have giv
en him a large number of supporters have
also given him occasion for offending a good
many small-potato politicians. In a word,
the two-thirds rule is a rule whose only pur
pose (under the present circumstances of the
country) must be to defeat the will of the
majority of the people.”
JCendrick, the Seducer.
From the Columbus Enquirer , we learn
that Judge Crawford was “interviewed” the
other day, and asked what bond he would be
satisfied with in the Kendrick case. The
Judge frankly stated that the object of a
bond was to secure the presence of a prison
er at the trial; that he did not think in this
case $3,000 would secure that end ; but that
he thought that a bond of $5,000. with at
least two securities who were interested in
ensuring the attendance of Kendrick would
be sufficient bail.
The wife of Mr. Kendrick gave birth to a
child on Tuesday night, which died in a short
time. The father in prison was allowed to
see the little one before burial. The lad}' is
in a very precarious condition and has the
sympathies of the entire community.
In speaking of the effects of this deplor
able case, the Enquirer further remarks :
“We do not wish to violate the privacy of
households, in giving some details but we
simply desire to show how wrongful acts ex
tend to those that ought to be dearer than
life, and doubtless are, and affect theiin most
deeply. It recoils not only on the perpetra
tor, but every member of two families. The
moral lesson is a fearful one, but it should
be powerful.”
LATER.
From the Atlanta Constitution of the 16th,
we learn that Kendrick has given bail for
$5,000, and has been released from jail.
War to the South of Us.
GEN. ESCOBEDO ADVANCING UPON MATAMORAS.
Matamoras, May 14.— Gen. Escobedo had
arrived at Caraargo, one hundred miles from
here. j r esterday with three thousand govern
ment troops and is advancing rapidly on this
city. Generals Tucro and Querago are com
ing by another route with two thousand men,
and are to unite with Escobedo in attacking
this place. Great excitement prevails here
among the insurgents. Several hundrel
men are engaged in repairing the fortifica
tions and every preparation for a stubborn
resistance is being made. Yesterday one of
the staff officers of Gen. Gonzales forcibly
took a quantity of lumber belonging to a cit
izen of the United States and used it on the
fortifications. The American consul inter
vened to protect the rights of his countryman,
when the officer declared they would shoot
the American and German consuls if they
attempted to interfere with Gen. Gonzales’
efforts to prepare for the defence of the town.
The American and German consuls, accom
panied by the commander of an American
vessel of war in the harbor, called on Gon
zales, who disavowed the action of his offieer,
and assured the consuls that foreigners should
be respected. Many families of all national
ities are leaving the city in anticipation of a
bombardment.— Tel. to Const.
The Final Plunge.
Savannah, May 16.—The two negro pris
oners, Paul Campbell and Prince Roberson,
convicted of the murder of Mrs. Cochrane
and her daughter, at Springfield, Effingham
county, were hung to-day at that place. A
crowd of three thousand persons was present.
The prisoners were guarded by the Hussars,
numbering thirty armed men. They were
both indifferent to their impending fate, and
most vehemently declared themselves inno
cent of any participation in the crime. Rob
erson died easy, from strangulation, but
Campbell died hard. The other prisoners
who were sentenced at the same time have
been granted new trials. Mr. Cochrane, the
husband of the murdered woman, was present
to-day at the execution, and was much affect
ed.—At. Constitution.
IdP’From the Cumming Clarion of the 11th

his age.
One night at the Hippodrome, Dora Pedro
being present, Mr. Moody asserted that not
even an Emperor can save his soul without
submitting to Christ. This recalls an anecdote
of Peter Cartwright, the revivalist. He was

Cartwright thought, more attention than he
was entitled to, whereupon the preacher lus

Jackson? He’ll go to hell as quick as .any

Harmony Grove Correspondence.
Editor Forest News :— I deeply regret
that Mr. Duke saw proper to write the letter
that was published in your issue of the 6th
inst. His personalities were uncalled for, un
gentlernanly, and altogether foreign to the
subject under discussion. We were discus
sing his public acts as a public man—as a
representative and servant of the people of
Jackson county—and not his private, per
sonal character. Yet, he turns upon and pub
licly insults one for daring to disapprove his
acts as a legislator, and deals in mean in
sinuations and low flings at a sacred calling,
personal character and everything that is re
spected and regarded as sacred among honor
able gentlemen. The question as to whether
Mr. Duke (as a legislator) tried to force liquor
on the good people of Harmony Grove, has
nothing to do with me or my profession, and
the people of Jackson county know it, and
they will not allow him to dodge the question,
or shirk the responsibility of his public acts.
I have written nothing against him personally.
His personal character is his own sacred pri
vate property ; but his public record is public
property, and must stand the crucial test ap
plied to all public men. If, when he is weigh
ed, he is found wanting, he will be set aside.
On the other hand, if he can stand the test
the people will say, “ well done, good and
faithful servant.”
Now, let us notice his tortuous wriggling
and squirming a moment, and see how a po
litical eel will try to get through a hole even
smaller than a needle's eye. He says:
“Now, if the said “ Beppo" accepts his own
logic, he attempted, not as a publican and
sinner, but as a Good Templar, to force liquor
upon the good people of Harmony Grove Dis
trict. The Local Option law was a temper
ance measure ; was voted for by the friends
of the temperance movement, many of whom
were ministers of the Gospel or church mem
bers, and it will be news to them to learn that
by their votes they were seeking to force
liquor upon the good people of Georgia.”
Now, “Beppo” does accept his “own logic,”
but not Mr. Duke’s. Mr. Duke at first de
nied the charge that he tried to force liquor
on us here. I reiterated the charge and con
victed him on his own admission and ex
planation ; and now he rises, and, in effect,
exclaims, “so did you !” Was ever a man so
completely whipped on any question ?
Again : he is mistaken when he says “the
local option law was a temperance measure/’
as applied in the Harmony Grove case. The
temperance people of Georgia desire a general
local option law for the entire State, under
which they can vote for the utter prohibition
of liquor as a beverage. They accept the
present peice-meal bill, under which many
localities have prohibited its sale in quanti
ties under one gallon, as the best they can do
now, as it closes the bar-room custom of sell
ing by the glass ; one step in the right direc
tion. Hence the Good Templars’ support of
the present defective local option law. But
to return to Mr. Duke's Ilarmon}- Grove local
option bill. It teas not introduced in the in
forest o f temperance. The petition was got
ten up and signed by men desiring the repeal
of the present restriction. They did not ask
for “ local option,” but came out squarely for
repeal. Mr. Potts refused to favor such
manifest disregard to the wishes of a majority
of the citizens of the town, and Mr. Duke in
troduced the bill in the interest of the peti
tioners, and not in the interest of temper
ance, as he would have us believe. Under
the present restrictions, no liquor can be sold
here in any quantity. Under Mr. Duke’s bill,
even though the people should vote it out.
yet it could be sold in quantities of one gal
lon. The inevitable logic of his position is,
he is in favor of local option where it will
carry liquor, and opposed where it will not.
lie says the present restriction here is ob
jectionable. Of course it is to some people.
It cannot be sold in any quantity now, hence
his bill to allow them to sell by the gallon.
Now, I wish to propound just one question
to Mr. Duke, which, if he will come up like
a man and answer, yea or nay, I will forgive
him his uncalled for personalities and shake
hands ; and if he does not answer it, the peo
ple of Jackson county can make their own
deductions.
Will he support a general local option law
for the entire State, if elected to the next
Legislature ?
That is the question. Will he have the
courage to answer it, or will he again dodge,
and cast insinuations and reflections at me
for asking it ?
I will only notice another little part of his
letter. It is a very little part, and very small
in him to write it. He says:
“ ‘ Beppo’ can write, and ‘ Beppo’ can speak,
and may be he could display eloquence in
another field —if he could yet a call .”
Yes, “Beppo” can write and speak, and
does his own writing and speaking. Can Mr.
Duke say as much for himself and tell the
truth? lie has also received and declined
three calls, one of which was accompanied by
the offer of a salary double that paid by an}’
one church in Jackson county. I say this
much, because the insulting insinuation quoted
above is calculated, and doubtless was in
tended, to make a wrong impression, and in
jure me where I desire to do good.
Now, Mr. Editor, I close this correspond
ence for the reason that I cannot go down so
low as to deal in passionate personalities.—
Mr. Duke and “ Curry’s Creek” have both
gone behind my nom de plume and sought to
expose my identity, contrary to the rule and
custom of honorable men in such matters. It
is the custom among honorable men to demand
the name of a correspondent of an editor, “ for
personal or legal redress,” and the editor is
then in honor bound to give it. Instead of
tollowing that course, two of your correspon
dents have “ bushwhacked” me disgracefully.
But I bear no ill will towards them. Perhaps
they didn’t know any better. “All’s well
that ends well.” Beppo.

I have thought proper, therefore, to issue this
my Proclamation, hereby offering a reward of
Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars
each for the apprehension and delivery of said
thieves, with evidence sufficient to convict, to the
Sheriffs of said counties and State.
And I do moreover charge and require all of
ficers in this State, civil and military, to be vigi
lant in endeavoring to apprehend said thieves, in
order that they may be brought to trial for the of
fence with which they stand charged.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the
State, at the Capitol in Atlanta, this the twenty
fourth day of April, in the year of our Lord One
