The Georgia Daily Commonwealth,
Issued from the steam printing house of
.1. I*. Harrison & Cos., with Col. Carey W.
Styles, late of the Alban}* News, as Editor
in-chief, now comes regularl}* to our sanctum
every mail day. Col. Styles is a “ sharp,
quick" and pointed writer, and is an honor
to his profession—whether running the daily

gations for an “exchange" with his sprightly
evening paper.
That Letter.
The letter called for last week, by lion. J.
M. Potts, will be found in to-day's issue. We
have tried to give all hands a “ fair showing”
in this (much to be regretted) controversy,
and we hope, for the sake of all concerned,
that so far at least as the Forest News is
concerned, tiro matter will be allowed to rest
where it is. The public, we think, are per
fectly satisfied—one way or the other—on the
subject. So now, *• Let us have peace !"’
To Correspondents.
We have received two or three communica
tions within the past few da}*s, all giving our
“late” correspondent, “ Beppo,” a parting
" salute.” “ Hcppo” announced two weeks or
more since, that he had “ blown off his hounds
and quit the drive” ; therefore, with all due
deference to our respected friends, we submit
that it is hardly “manly and patriotic” to
keep up the war after one side has left the
field. We—the people of the South—have
complained bitterly of this conduct on the
part of our enemies, for the past several years.
Jrot us “do as we would be done by.”
A Contrast.
Col. John Jones, the venerable cx-Treasur
er of the State of Georgia, was yesterday ar
rested in Atlanta upon a charge of withhold
ing moneys from the State, and required to
give bond in the sum of ten thousand dollars,
at last accounts he had not been able to fill
his bond. The contrast here suggested is
striking. Blodgett, long a fugitive on ac
count of his knavery, was arrested, carried to
Atlanta, and his bond fixed at fifteen thousand
dollars. There seems to be a prospect that
he will have some trouble in making it, where
upon the Judge generously reduces it twelve
thousand dollars , and the matter is made easy.
Bullock is arrested, brought back to Atlanta,
and his bond fixed at ten thousand dollars.
Immediately, as the chronicles state, “promi
nent and wealthy citizens of both parties"
came to his rescue, and he is now wearing
“a nosegay and greyish pants,” boasting to
chattering and open-mouthed Bohemians that
had there been anv necessity therefor, his
bond would have been signed by a list of the
names of citizens filling two pages. The con
trast. we say. is striking—nay, it is sicken
ing. Here two self-confessed knaves and
plunderers are accommodated with obsequi
ous courts and bondsmen, while a venerable
Georgian—a patriot and an honest man, as
we believe—goes about hunting for names to
go upon his bond. .Some civet, good apothe
cary !—Savannah News.
“The One Star of Hope!”
The Nashville American of the 25th ult.,
commenting on the letter of lion. Mr. Bird,
of Massachusetts, an extract from which is
elsewhere published in this paper, reiterates
the sentiments of the lion, writer as follows :
“Mr. Bird is right. What is needed is an
entire and radical change of rule. Anew set
books must be opened at Washington. Every
department of government, from the White
House to the Custom House, must be puri
fied—the accounts of 80,000 office-holders
examined. The assumed danger from what
the 1 )emocratie party might do is not so
threatening as the present danger from what
the Republican party has already done and
is still doing. The pretense of danger from
Democratic accession is grossly, recklessly,
mischievously exaggerated by corruptionists
in power, seeking to retain it by fomenting
old prejudices and alarming the public mind
with a wolf-erv. There is no reason why the
country should be endangered more by the
control of one party than another, and it is
very certain that Democratic rule for the next
four years at least, would be the cleanest and
safest that this country has had since the
death of Lincoln. False alarms by stock
jobbers in and out of office—the mendacity
of ring organs—the flourish of the bloody
shirt by the smallest order of demagogues—
all this will not prevent the floating and in
dependent voters who really seek the good of
their country iroin taking a practical view of
the situation. These cannot fail to see with
this honest Massachusetts Republican, that
in the dark and troubled night that is upon
ns there is “but one star of hope'’—the uni
ted Democratic party of the United States.
Regardless of its past history or whether it
may be destined, by the purity of its rule,
to survive one Presidential term, there is an
imperative necessity for its ascendance, at
t his moment, or we shall witness no return of
general prosperity and restored popular con
fidence. for indefinite years, with the glowing
prospective of darker clouds of adversity
than we have ever yet experienced.”
USP'CoI. Jack Jones, late Treasurer of the
SLate of Georgia, was arrested last week in
Atlanta, by virtue of an indictment found
against him by the Grand Jury of Fulton
county, tor the offence of unlawfully with
holding public money. The amount of bond
required was SIO,OOO, which he gave—not
however, without some trouble. You sec, the
old man was lacking in this: he hadn’t been
♦inite sunha “developer” as Bullock, Blodg
ett and* “ Hi.” °
“The Position of Parties.”
The Hon. Prank Bird, an influential Mas
sachusetts Republican, has written an “open
letter” to Hon. Ethan Allen, the “Liberal
Republican leader,” which is attracting very
general attention among men of all parties
in New England, and in which he discusses
the merits of the “Republican Party as it
was.” He then shows by clear logical rea
soning that there is no “Show for an Inde
pendent Movement,” and cites the failure
of the “movement of 1872” as an example
and illustration of his proposition. By an
equally forcible and plain line of reasoning
he proves conclusively that there is no chance
“For Reform within the Party”—that is, the
present Radical and Republican party. We
insert here his language on this point, to
gether with the remainder of his letter.
Admit that the Republican candidate who
to-day represents specially purity and re
form, shall be nominated at Cincinnati and
elected. He goes into office under the ne
cessity of taking counsel of the men who
have elected him. Among these undoubtedly
would be many of the purest men of the Re
publican party of the olden time ; but among
them, too, must be the men who have degra
ded the Republican party and dishonored
the country. The men who banished Sum
ner and Greeley, Trumbull and Schurz from
the councils of tne party must still be recog
nized as supporters of the Administration,
and as entitled to a voice in itspolic}*. They
are in the Senate, and control its action.
They fill all the important offices of the coun
try. Will a Republican Administration turn
them out ? Eighty thousand Republican
office-holders are eating out the substance of
the people. Here and there one has been
detected in his nefarious practice—hardly an
infinitesimal fraction of the whole. Will a
Republican Administration call its devotees
to account for practices learned from their
superiors ? The Republican press of the
country, with a few* honorable exceptions, is
controlled by rogues or their apologists.
THE ONLY CHANCE.
No ! No ! There is but one way of salva
tion for the Republican party, and that is
through the purgation of defeat. The spoils
once out of their grasp, the corrupt men who
“ratted” from the Democratic party into the
Republican would instinctively follow the
scent of public plunder and rat back into the
Democratic party ; and the Republican party,
released of its incubus, with its men of ideas
at the front, would again deserve the confi
dence of the country. This is a consumma
tion devoutly to be wished. Most of my
dearest friends are still in the Republican
party endeared through many years of asso
ciation, by bonds of common faith and mutu
al trust. I mean to keep the right to love
them still. “Hand in hand we stood around
the administration of Andrew, and felt his
own great arm lean on us for support.” I
live in the undoubting assurance that they
will soon learn that patriotism and virtue
did not die when the Republican party com
mitted suicide, and that we shall yet come
together in the trials and triumphs of the fu
ture, and wonder we ever separated.
LET US BE PRACTICAL !
What then remains ? The Democratic par
ty. “Do you belong to the Democratic par
ty ?” No ! I shall never again “belong” to
any party, but I am ready to co-opcrate with
any party or with any men who, in my judg
ment, best promise to destro}* the power
which now curses the country. I know full
well how* great is the popular distrust of the
Democratic party. ' I have taken some small
share in creating that distrust when it was
well founded :
I loved my country and 1 hated it.”
But now old things have passed away. When
we arc able to vote in the millennium, we
will welcome the ideal party. Till then, we
must aim at practical methods and practical
results. Ido not like to be forced to a
choice of evils, but I see clearly that, until
one party or the other nominates an ideal
candidate, we must choose between those
who ate presented, or “take to the woods.”
BETTER THE WORST DEMOCRAT THAN TIIE
BEST REPUBLICAN.
Can we trust the Democratic party? In
1848, our Southern Whig friends, in justify
ing themselves for supporting the Whig tick
et with Gen. Taylor at the head, used to say,
“The Southern man who is farthest from us
is nearer to us than any Northern man can
be.” It is my profound conviction that the
worst Democrat whose nomination at St.
Louis is possible is safer for the country
than the best Republican whose nomination
is possible at Cincinnati. The imperative,
the solemn need of the country is a change
of the national administration. Anew set
of books must he opened at Washington.
Every department of government, from the
White House to the custom-house, must he
purified ; the accounts of 80,000 office-holders
must he examined. I have no fear that,
while this process of scrutiny is going on,
any new set of office-holders can organize a
system of peculation and corruption like that
which is now in full blast. Even if the in
coming administration should follow in the
footsteps of its predecessor, I know that in
four entire years it could not entrench itself
in office as the Republican party has done in
almost sixteen jears of undisputed power;
and that in 1880 the country would repudiate
the servants who should prove false to their
trusts, and would reinstate a Republican
party redeemed, regenerated and disenthrall
ed.
BUT ONE STAR OF HOPE.
In the dark and troubled night that is upon
ns, I see but one star of hope—the united
Democratic party of the United States. Con
fidence, I am aware, is a plant of slow growth.
Distrust of the Democratic party is, I doubt
not, honestly entertained by the best portion
of the Republican party, and dishonestly pro
claimed as their most effective partisan cry
by the worst. Ido not partake of the views
of the one class ; I utterly despi.se the hypo
crisy of the other. I have a prevailing con
fidence that sixteen years of purgation and
punishment have had their effect in purifying
the Democratic party in perhaps as great
degree as sixteen years of power have cor
rupted and diseased the Republican parly.

Washington, May 29.—News comes from

Washington, May 29.—The senate vote on

Presbyterian General Assembly.
This body which had been in session in
the city of Savannah for eight or ten days
previous, closed its session on Saturday night
last. Twenty-four delegates were appointed
to the Pan-Handle Presbyterian council to
meet in Edinburg next summer.
The committee to whom was referred the
resolutions from the Northern Assembly, in
regard to fraternal relations, reported the
following, which were unanimously adopted,
and telegraphed to Brooklyn : “We already
roost cordiall}* enter on fraternal relations
with your body, on any terras honorable to
both parties, and then as an explanation of
what our feelings is, we send the action ta
ken in the answer to the overture from the
St. Louis Presbytery, which is—
Resolved, That the action of the Baltimore
Conference, approved by the Assembty at
St. Louis, explains with sufficient clearness
the position of our Church, but inasmuch as
it is represented by the overture that misap
prehension exists in the minds of some of
our people as to the spirit of this action, in
order to show our disposition to remove, on
our part, real or seeming hindrance to friend
ly feeling, the Assembly explicitly declares
that while condemning certain acts and de
liverance of the Northern General Assembly,
no acts or deliverance of the Southern Gen
eral Assemblies are to be construed or ad
mitted as impugning in anyway the Christian
characrer of the Northern General Assembly,
or of the historical bodies of which it is the
successor.
The Assembly selected New Orleans as
the place of the next meeting, and the third
Thursday in May as the time.
“Swift and Sure I”
On our outside we give, at length, an ac
count of the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Harmon,
of S. C.; the arrest of the perpetrators of
the foul deed, and a telegram stating that
they had been lynched bj* the infuriated citi
zens of the vicinity in which the murder was
committed. Below will be found a statement
as to the closing scene in this terrible
drama:—
Abbeville, S. C., May 25.—From eye
witnesses of the lynching of the murderers of
Mr. and Mrs. Harmon. I gather some further
details that will be of interest to the readers
of the News awl Courier. It seems that the
lynching was the direct result of the formal
verdict of the jury of inquest upon tie bodies
of the murdered couple. The jury found
that the Harmons were deliberately murder
ed by Stephen Lake, Larkin Ilollowa}*, Mar
shal Perrin. Austin Davis, Jeff Settles, Jesse
Lake, Bettie Perrin, and Tilda Holloway, all
negroes. These parties had previously been
arrested, and when the inquest closed were
delivered into the custody of Sheriff Rich
ardson for commitment to jail. But imme
diately the Sheriff was seized by the crowd
which numbered about six hundred persons,
his head was hastily covered with a bag, and
he was carried off by force and confined.
The hour of retribution for the fiends who
had so mercilessly butchered Mr. and Mrs.
Harmon had now* arrived. All of the pris
oners were taken by the crowd, which was
composed of both black and white citizens,
and marched to a point about a half mile
from the scene of the murder. There the
six men who had committed the crime were
tied firmly together in a row, and five min
utes were given to them to pray, at the ex
piration of which time a volley of one hun
dred shots were fired, and the six wretches
fell dead to the ground. About three hun
dred men took part in the last act of the
lynching. They were variously armed with
rifles, shot-guns and pistols. No masks were
worn by anybody, and there was no exhibi
tion of excitement of any kind, no loud talk
ing and no wliiske}*.
Previous to their execution Austin Davis
and Stephen Lake had confessed that the
party had been concocting the murder for
several weeks. Stephen first knocked the
victims on the head, Holloway turned the
bodies over, and Stephen cut their throats.
After the murder the 1 ousc was gutted of
everything valuable, and a part of the goods
were recovered in the hands of Austin Davis.
The two women were turned loose and
told to leave the country. —News <s• Courier.

gence reached here this forenoon of the very’
sudden death ofCapt. John A Crawford, near
Cassville from the sting of a bee in the fore
head. He was at work around his bee stands
when he received a sting, from which he died

Letter from Hon. T. Hardeman, Jr., to Hon.
G. R. Duke.
Macon, Ga., April 26th, 1876.
llox. G. R. Duke— Dear Sir: —Yours ask
ing me my recollection of the debate on the
Convention bill, has been received. Ido not
wish to be made a party to the controversy
between yourself and Mr. Potts. I saw no
reason for it when in Atlanta, and was in
hopes, on your return home, it would have
ceased. I regret that Mr. Potts and yourself
cannot reconcile your differences. The day
the Convention bill was being discussed, Mr.
Potts did try to get the floor, but failed—not
being quick enough. Next morning, on the
motion to reconsider—made, I think, by him
self, and also by some other member—he was
recognized by myself, the floor given him,
and he declined it in favor of some other per
son ; for what reason, Ido not know. I men
tion this fact because Mr. P. had complained
that I would not recognize him the day be
fore, and I told him he should have a hearing,
which was given him, but which he did not
improve. I desire to say no more, and only
write this much because I do not wish Mr.
P. to have the impression that I gave him no
chance to speak on the measure. I write
simply to set myself right, disclaiming any
desire to be made a party to your and his
quarrel. Write me the news.

move from our midst our beloved brother and
associate, William V. Dkadwyler, who de
parted this life April 20th, 1876, aged 24
years, in the full hope of a blessed immor

Resolved, That in the death of our beloved
brother, William V. Dkadwyler, the Coun
ty Lodge, 1. O. G. TANARUS., Jackson County, has
lost one of its most faithful and zealous offi
cers, in whom there was no guile. Jlis gen
tleness of spirit and nobility of soul, coupled
with the chastened humility of a Christian,
endeared him to our hearts to an unusual
degree. In our grief we are consoled in the
full assurance that “ our loss is his eternal
gain/’ and that we may meet again in that
Grand Lodge of God’s redeemed in “man

wicked cease from troubling and the weary
are at rest.”

the other night and demanded whiskey and
supper from the keeper of the Ricks House.

tried to cut the negro with his knife, and
finally succeeded in giving the black “man

to propose as a suitable man to represent us

honest to enter into rings to secure office, and
too modest to claim for himself what his me

Ben. Silman. There is no man in Jackson
County who would make a more honest and
able representative than he would, and for
that reason many good men in the county
want him to be a candidate. They believe
he would represent the whole county and ev

Col. Silman announce himself and he will be
elected by The People.

SIDDALL’S
MAGNETIC SOAP.
The Cheapest Soap that can he Used for the
following reasons:
Ist.—One bar will go as far as two ofanj - other.
2d.—Only half the usual rubbing being required,
there is a saving of more than the entire cost
of the Soap in labor alone.
3d.—The clothes are made SWEET, CLEAN and
WHTTE without Boiling or Scalding,
thus all injury to them is avoided. There
is a saving in fuel and hard work, and the
washing is done in about half the usual time.
It is also guaranteed under a penalty of fifty
dollars not to injure the clothes or hands, and as
one trial will enable any person to ascertain the
truth of these statements, it would never pay the
proprietor to engage in an extensive system of ad
vertising and claim such decided merit for his
Soap unless he knew from positive experience that
it would prove to be in every respect what is
claimed for it.
