Washington Letter.
[From our regular Correspondent ]
Washington. D. C., June 2th, 1879.
Some thinsrs have transpired this week to
cast, a good deal of* light upon subject s that
are being agitated just now. To begin with,
the evidence taken by the Wallace commit
tee illustrates rather forcibly the kind of
‘■free elections” the Radicals are so anxious
fttxnit. Every unbiased reader will see, in
tho evidence already taken, ample proof
that the supervisors law is nothing less than
ttie most corrupt and outrageous machinery
for carrying elections, and every voter ca
pable of putting two and two together will
promptly discern in these developments the
motives which prompt the Republican party
to fight so desperately for the retention of
this machinery, now entirely under its control.
Another illustration of the beauties of Radical
pretensions is the memorial of Rhode Island
soldiers, presented by Senator McDonald a
day or two since. Senator Anthony, who
has wasted a great deal of breath in trying
to create an impression that the Democrats
are unfriendly to the Union soldier, now turns
up not only as the author and finisher, so to
speak, of election frauds in his State, but
charged with procuring the removal of soldiers
from Federal positions to secure their places
for his own relations. The election frauds
charged are in the nature of interference by
these appointees. It would seem that in a
State where only a select few are allowed
to vote —on account of the property quali
fication required—it would not be necessary
to resort to such tactics to keep it in line.
With a population of 275,000, Rhode Island
cast but 27,000 votes last year, and the largest
vote ever polled in the State was 25,000, at
the Presidential election of 1876. Yet on
this population the State gets two members
of Congress, with over 50 per cent, of her
voters disfranchised. This leaves the control
of the State in the hands of a Radical clique
who have, by office holding, etc., accumulat
ed property enough to give them the franchise.
With just laws, like the rest of the free States,
Rhode Island would mighty soon leave the
Radical column, and the leaders of the party
know it. Yet these are the men who want
to regulate and dictate to the rest of the
country.
There has been more or less agitation for
pome time over a proposition now before
Congress to change the control of the Gov
ernment Printing Office. For sixteen years
or so this immense establishment has been
in much the same hands, and, as a conse
quence, rings and combinations have grown
up, which are like such things everywhere,
not conductive to the reputation of the man
agement. The Republicans have always
retained the control, having taken the np
pointment from the Executive during John
son's term and lodged it with the Senate.
It was afterward restored to the President,
and there remains. The Democrats, with
plenty of Republican precedents before them,
have thought of taking the control into their
hands by again turning it over to the Senate,
but the proposition most seriously considered
is that embraced in Mr. Knott’s bill, viz : to
turn the office over to some responsible party
who will give bond to perform the work at a
saving of about $600,000 upon the present
cost. The establishment is the largest of the
kind in the United States, and the investiga
tians of the last year have developed great
abuses and leaks. The Government was
swindled about $30,000 last year in the
purchase of type alone, while in other material
there is a much greater loss—so great that it
can hardly be estimated from the present sys
tem of accounts in the office. It is agreed
ou all hands that some change is necessary,
not only in the system, hut in the person of
its head. Mr. John D. Defrees has exhibit
ed himself not oniy as an incompetent offi
cial, but an insolent old humbug, who, re
lying on the protection of Mr. Hayes, insults
committees and defies Congress.
One of the well-known women of Wash
ington is Mrs. Kate Sprague, the beautiful
and accomplished daughter of Chief Justice
Chase, who married Senator Sprague, of
Rhode Island, when the Spragues were wealthy
and powerful. She is now living here at
** Edgewood,” her late fathers suburban
residence, and seems destined to always oc
cupy attention it one way or another. Last
year she succeeded in getting a bill through
Congress exempting this property from taxa
tion, and also won a lawsuit of some sort here
in the District courts, Senator Colliding ap
pearing as her attorney. Now she has just
won another suit, the circumstances of which
have caused considerable comment. A photo
grapher sued her for a bill of $55 for photo
graphy and views taken to illustrate a
biographical sketch of her father. The photo
graphs were made by her order and submitted
for her approval, but she placed the financial
responsibility upon the author of the biogra
phy. The photographer sent the bill to her
husband, ex-Senator Sprague, who replied
that he had nothing to do with Mrs. Sprague’s
I ills. The court refuses to give judgement
against her on the ground that a married
woman is a nonentity on the District, and
cannot be sued. It complicates matters some
what, as the position that she does not own
separate real estate don’t consist exactly with
the exemption of a fine piece of property
from taxation because the owner of it is a
woman, and the daughter of a man the country
lias loved to honor. Mrs. Sprague was the
observed of all observers in the Senate gallery
last winter, and. altogether, her career has
been a little notorious. General Sherman
accompanied her in her recent attendance
at court. Phono.

farmers’ wives. This number is replete with
interesting and valuable agricultural and
miscellaneous reading, comprising just such
articles as are suitable for a farmer’s paper.
It should be on every farmer’s table in our

The Fourth Volume.
With this issue the Forest News completes
the fourth year of its existence. It does not
seem that long since a few of our public spir
ited and enterprising citizens saw the neces
sity for a newspaper in this county, and, with
their wonted energy, started to work in the face
of untold difficulties totupply that want, and it
was with many misgivings as.to how the en
terprise would turn out, that the News was
launched forth as an applicant for public pat
ronage. Yet, it has lived through four event
ful years, and fraught with many dangers to
its existence. In this short space of time, it
has lost three of its best and most staunch
friends. Little did they think that they were
nursing an enterprise into existence that
would live when they had passed away.
In looking over the past of the paper, we
see no cause to complain. We believe we
have been rewarded according to our merit,
and we propose to take full advantage of our
experience for future operations.
For the future, we trust to make the merits
of the paper such that it will he a welcome
necessity to every fireside in the county. We
hope that in this effort we will he sustained
by the people, not only by a subscription,
but by your influence, kind words and co-op
eration in sending us the news. Our circula
tion is increasing, and we think we have ob
tained a permanent foot-hold amongst the
people, and can say that the News is no lon
ger an experiment, but a fixture in Jackson
county.
The Committee's Work.
On last Saturday the committee appointed
by the late meeting to select anew location
for the count) 7 site, met in the Court House
at this place. All of the members were pres
ent except Messrs. Johnson, Brazclton and
Ellison. The cause of Mr. Johnson’s absence
was sickness, and lie had requested Mr. W.
J. Ilaynie to represent him in the meeting,
making the number who participated, ten out
of the twelve.
The committee first met in the court-room,
up-stairs, but concluded to hold their meeting
private, so they retired to the Grand Jury
room, and there conducted their business
with closed doors. This action was unex
pected, since a goo 1 sized crowd had congre
gated in the court room to witness their de
liberations, and who reasonably expected
that upon a question of so much importance
to the people the proceedings would be pub
lic. This action met with unfavorable com
ment from all, and was heavily censured.
This, of course, barred our making any re
port of the proceedings, except mere rumors
which were floating about.
The committee remained in session until in
the evening, when it was reported that there
would be a majority and a minority report,
and that the members were not unanimous by
any means. During the evening they visited
the old Gower, lot, in company with Judge
Bell; for what purpose we did not learn.
Upon their return, they handed their reports
to Judge Bell, and we give them below. We
tried to find out what the various sentiments
of the members were after they were through,
but could gain but little information upon the
subject:
MAJORITY REPORT.
Jefferson, Ga., May ."Ist, 1879.
In accordance with resolutions passed in a
public meeting held at this place on the i7th
instant, representatives from ten Districts of
the county met in the Court House for busi
ness.
Appointed James Gtiffin Chairman of the
meeting and C. M. Wood to act as Secretary.
After thi 3, upon motion, the Chairman put
it to a vote, and two-thirds were in favor of
the centre of the county, or as near as prac
ticable. And we also request the Ordinary
to precure the services of the County Sur
veyor to run the line and find the center of
the county, and then order an election to see
whether the people want the centre of the
county or not, or tiie present location.

We, the undersigned members of the com
mittee chosen to select a location for the con
templated new Court House, submit the fol
lowing as a minority report: That the Ordi

suitable site within the corporate limits of the

site. Respectfully submitted.

Northeast Georgia in General—Maysville
and Vicinity in Particular.
Mil Editor: —ln my last communication
I intimated that I would write something of
Northeast Georgia in general, and of Mays
ville and vicinity in particular.
The question of the desirability of immi
gration I shall not discuss, but will endeavor
to show some of the attractions of this sec
tion to the writer who is, comparatively, a
new settler in these parts.
From nearly a } - ear spent in Texas, and a
trip through Missouri and the eastern part of
Kansas, and as far north as Chicago, I am
fully satisfied that the superior attractions of
those sections are not their superior natural
advantages over Georgia, but the superior
enterprise of the people, and particularly the
enterprise displayed in the getting up and dis
tribution of circulars, pamphlets and maps,
and the indomitable energy of the Western
press in displaying the benefits and with
holding the detriments of that already world
known region.
What natural resources has that region su
perior to those of Northeast Georgia ? It has
more fertile lands, greater extremes of tem
perature ,nd more sudden changes, longer
and odder winter::nd shorter and hotter
summers, (northof Texas where those ‘‘north
ers” sometimes reduce the temperature to 40
or 50 degrees in a few hours,) more destruct
ive floods of rain, much longer droughts,
scarcity of water for man and beast, hordes
of grasshoppers and potato bugs, mosquitoes,
chills and fevers and other malarial diseases.
At this time, unless recently abated, the
drought in portions of Texas and Kansas
compels many of the citizens to haul their
drinking water several miles, while the stock
is driven still farther to the larger streams
that they may not die of thirst.
There are no rich prairie lands in this sec
tion, but there are bottom lands that produce
from thirty to fifty bushels of corn per acre,
without manure; there are never failing
streams of pure, delicious water, gushing from
every hillside, bounding over rocks, and in
viting the hum of machinery, and hastening
on to water and enrich the valleys on either
side ; there are primeval forests of pine, oak,
hickory, ash, poplar and various other woods ;
there are no excessive floods or droughts, t ut
an equable quantity of rainfall, and no entire
failure of crops ; no malarial diseases, and no
need for mosquito bars ; some wheat and oat
rust, but no caterpillars, locusts, potato bugs
or grasshoppers ; no sinking of the mercury
to zero, nor rising to a hundred.
This immediate section has no reputation
as a cotton producing region, but the average
yield is about a bale (500 pounds) to two
acres, while a bale to the acre is not unusual.
Corn and the small grains are profitable crops,
and nothing but the lackofenterprise prevents
fields of clover and other grasses on every
farm. This is proven by some of the farmers
who do not lack enterprise. The various
fruits, large and small, including the grape,
pertaining to this latitude, grow here to per
fection.
Within a radious of ten miles of Maysville
(and farther for ought I know.) there is scarce
ly one per cent, of untillable lands, though
some of them are. of course, much more pro
ductive than others. What these lands would
produce under a system of “intensive farm
ing.” I do not know, and cannot ascertain
that any experiment of that kind has ever
been tried in this immediate section, but I
! have been in every section of this State, and
■ my observation is that the application of fer
tilizers (home and foreign) pays as well heir
i as anywhere.
Tho village of Ma ysville is on the dividing
j ridge between the waters of the Savannah
j and Oconee rivers, at an elevation of a‘>ouf
1,000 feet above the sea. It is on the North
eastern Railroad, twenty-six miles north <>■
Athens, and thirteen miles south of Lula, t In
junction of this road with the Atlanta & Char
lotte Air Line. A recent writer in the North
! Georgian, who seems to have an old and thor
ough acquaintance with this region, savs
, that the peach crop on this ridge never
fails.
There is a good school hero, male and fe
male, in which are taught the English branch
es, the classics, vocal and instrumental mu
sic. There is also a live Sunday School.
Regular preaching three times a month. B ij -
list-, Methodist and Presbyterian
Being comparatively anew comer, Mr.
Editor. I may be permitted to say something
of the people in and near Maysville. I have
lived in four different States, and in several
parts of Georgia, and I can truthfully say
that it has never been my lot to fall anion
a more quiet, moral and neighborly peo
pie.
I will now recapitulate the attractions of
this immediate section for myself: Its un
surpassed healthful ness, its agreeable climate,
its excellent water, its cheapness of living,
and last, but not least, the morality, unos
tentatiousness, kindlieartcdness and socia
bility of its citizens.
If any of your readers arc disposed to
change their residence, and find any of the
foregoing statements attractive, let them
come and judge for themselves, and see wheth
er your correspondent has in anywise exag
gerated, “ or put down aught in malice.”

Y r ellow Fever—Black Vomit.
It is too soon to forget the ravages of this ter
rible disease, which will no doubt return in a more
malignant and virulent form in the fall months of
1879.
MEIIRELL’S IIEPATINE, a Remedy discover
ed in Southern Nubia and used with such wonder
ful results in South America where the most ag
gravated cases of fever are found, causes from one
to two ounces of bile to be filtered or strained
from the blood each time it passes through the
Liver, as long as an excess of bile exists. By its
wonderful action on the Liver and Stomach the
HEPATINE not only prevents to a certainty any
kind of Fever and Black Vomit, but also cures
Headache. Constipation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia
and all Malarial diseases.

REMARKABLE CURE OF SCROFULA, &c
CASE OF COL. J. C. BRANSON.
Kingston. Ga., September 15, 1871.
Gents: —For sixteen years 1 have been a great
sufferer from Scrofula in its most distressing
forms. 1 have been confined to my room and bed
for fifteen years with scrofulous ulcerations. The
most approved remedies for such cases had been
used, and the most eminent physicians consulted,
without any decided benefit. Thus prostrated,
distressed, desponding. I was advised by Dr.
Ayer, of Floyd County, Ga., to commence the use
of your Compound Extract Stillingia. Language
is as insufficient to describe thy relief 1 obtained
from the use of the Stillingia as it is to convey an
adequate idea of the intensity of iny Buffering be
fore using your medicine; sufficient to say, I
abandoned all other remedies and continued the
use of your Extract of Stillingia, until I can say
truly, !am cured of all pain,” of all disease,
with nothing to obstruct the active pursuit of my
profession. More than eight months have elapsed
since this remarkable cure, without any return of
the disease
For the truth of the above statement, I refer to
ahy gentleman in Bartow County, Ga., and to the
members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are
acquainted with me. 1 shall ever remain, with
the deepest gratitude,
Your obedient servant.

West Point, Ga., Sept. 16, 1870.
Gents: —My daughter was taken on the 25th
day of June, 18(13, with what was supposed to be
Acute Rheumatism, and was treated tor the.same
with no success. In March, following, pieces of
bone began to work out of thy right arm, and con
tinued to appear til! all the bone from the elbow
to the shoulder joint came out. Many pieces of
bone came out of the right foot and leg. The ease
was then pronounced one of White Swelling. Af
ter having been confined about six years to her
bed, and the case considered hopeless, I was in
duced to try Dr. Pemberton’s Compound Extract
of Stillingia. and was so well satisfied with its ef
fects that 1 have continued the use of it until the
present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about six
years before she sat up or even turned over with
out help. She now sits up all day. and sews most
of her time—has walked across the room. Tier
general health is now good, and I believe she will,
as her limbs gain strength, walk well. I attribute
her recovery, with the blessing of God, to the use
of your invaluable medicine.

A. Deodorized extract of Petroleum,
The Only Article that Will Re
store Hair on Ihihl Heads.
Wlint the World lias been
Wnsiting for Centuries.
The great.; - iscov yof <>: r da - - .mo fa' >-■’
large p >rtion of humanity is o.nwnied, is CAR
BOLIN E. an articb prepared fa petroleum, and
which effects a complete a::;l r> dical cure in rase of
baldn -ss*, or \vh ■> c tie lmir, owing to diseases of
the scalp, hits becom thin and tends to full out.
It is also a speedy restorative, and while its use so
ctircs ;i luxuriant growth of hair, it also brings back
the natural color, and giv es the most complete sat
isfaction in the rising. The falling out of the hair,
the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature
change in color are all evidences of a diseased con
dition of the scalp and the glands which nourish tha
hair. To arrest these causes the article used mnst
possess medical as well as chemical virtues, and the
change must, begin under the scalp So be of perma
nent and lasting benefit. Such an article is CAll-
BOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discov
eries, it is found to consist of elements almost in
their natural state. Petroleum oil is the artido
which is made to work such extraordinary result* ;
but it is aftei it has beyn chemically treated and
completely deodorized that it is in proper condition
for the toilet. It was in far-01l Russia that the
effect of petroleum upon the ha r was first observed,
a Government officer having no'.ic ■ l that a partially
bald-headed servant, of hi*, when trimming the
lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared
hands iu his scanty locks, and the result was in •
few months a much liner head of black, glossy hair
than he ever had before. The oil was tried on
horses and cattle that had lost their hair from the
cattle plague, and the results were as rapid as they
were marvelous. The manes a.d even the tails of
horses, which had fallen out. were completely ro
stered in a few weeks. These experiments were
heralded to the world, but the knowledge was prac
tically useless to the prematurely bal l pud gray, J
no one in civilized society could tolerate the u.-e of
refined petroleum a.s a dressing for the lia.v. But tin
skill of one of our cliemi-1- has ov< rcotue the diffi
culty, and by n process known only to him-eif, he
has, after very elaborate and cost iy experiments, suc
ceeded in deodorizing refined petri mru winch
renders it susceptible of being handled a* daintily
ns the famous eau decolojnc. The xperknc.os w.'.h
the deodorized liquid on the human h;-- were at
tended with the most astonishing rei-ii!:-. A few
applications, where the hair was shin m i failing,
gave remarkable tone and vigor !> ihe scalp and
hair. Every particle of dandruff disappear, on
the first or second dressing, and l lie liquid so search
ing in its nature, seems to ponetr te to the roots at
once, and set up a rad cal < liangc from the start. It
is well known that the most beautiful colors are
made from petroleum, and, by some mysterious
operation of nature, the use of ibis article gradu
ally imparls a beautiful light-brown color to ih
hair which by continued use. deepens to a bUf k.
The color remain* permanen, for an indefinite length
of time, and the change is so gradual that the most
intimate friends can scarcely detect i> progress.
In a word, it is the most wonderful <ii-covcry wf
the age, and well calculated to make tile pr< ma
turely bald and gray i jon-e.
We advise our readers to give it a trial, feeling
satisfied that tine application will c uivi'.ce th an or
its wonderful effects. — l‘ittsburrjli Coritmcrcia- V
