$35,000, expended for the common defense
in 1777. There is but little possibility of
the State ever getting it back.
—The Kelleyites up in New York are
still hostile to Tilden. They say that two

provided Tilden does not. in the meanwhile,
announce his determination not to let his

—Mr. Cox, M. C. from New York, took
occasion during one of the recent debates to
criticise M r . Ilorr, of Michigan. The House
thereupon gave Mr. Ilorr an opportunity to
reply to Mr. Cox. The reply amused them
so much that they were not fit for business
afterwards, so an adjournment was called.
Thus a whole session was thrown away to
in iuige in a little pleasantry.
All persons who have any regard for
will join witli us in saying that
the letter of Simmons to Hayes, asking for
lis appointment as Supervisor of Census, is
anytliing but Deiqpcratie, and breathes a
spirit and desire for revenge that is ill
bccotning in a man who desires an ofTice of
trust amongst the very people whom he lias
slandered. Parson Felton should have read
that letter himself at least once ere he
endorsed it in such sugar coating terms.
Ilowover, he says that lie lias an explanation
to make upon the subject, and we shall
withhold our condemnation so as to give
him a fair showing, and hear his reasons for
endorsing a man with such feelings against
the people of his own District for office, and
at the same time claim to be a Democrat.
Washington Letter.
[ From our regular Correspondent.]
Washington, I). G\, Feb. Bth, 1880.
These are bad times for this reform admin,
istratibn. Between the exposures in the In
dian bureau, and the unveiling of John Sher
man's disgraceful use of the Treasury for his
own ends, there is not much left of the high
toned pretensions we have heard so much
about. The Indian bureau (urns out to be as
rotten as ever it was under Grant and Delano.
Under the latter sharp practices were carried
on by those who did not profess to he better
than other men. Under llayes and Schurz,
the robberies have been just the same, but
done under the gnise of roligion and reform.
They have been clone by the goody-goody
sort of men, who canted about the immortal
souls of the Indians while others were look
ing after the immortal contracts. One set
were looking after the food for the poor In
dians* mind, while their wicked business
partners looked after provisions for the body—
the beef contracts, blankets and sich. It
would seem that we had seen quite enough
of the “ Christian statesman” in politics and
political station in this country.
Long months ago Ilayt was known to be
compromised in exceedingly ugly-looking
business transactions outside of his position
here, while the matters which this investiga
tion have brought out have been an open se
cret. among those who were posted, for a con
siderable time. The wonder of it all is tiiat
Mr. Schurz should have been so slow to act.
Among the other things proven is the fact
t at Ilavt sent his son to act as agent in
buying a mine, and instructed him to appear
as Edward Kuapp. The mine in question
had been placed outside of the Indian reser
vation by a resurvey, under Hayt’s direction.
Yet he was here in Wahsington talking about,
reform, and pretending to despise the ordi
nary, wicked politicians.
'I he New York Times and other Republi
can journals opposed to John Sherman’s pres
idential aspirations, are making some serious
charges against him and his use of the Trea
sury patronage. Sherman is certainly making
desperate efforts to capture southern delega
tions, and there are indications that lie has
almost succeeded in one State at least. At the
recent meeting of the North Carolina State
Committee it was found, very unexpectedly,
that Sherman had obtained control of the com
mittee, and Col. Keough, the chairman, who
is for Grant, at once resigned. Keough is
now here, being secretary of the National
Committee. He boldly declares that agents
of John Sherman are traveling over the South
ern States drawing $5 and $6 per day as
special agents of the Treasury department,
while their sole business is to secure Sherman
delegates. According to all accounts there
must be a large number of them. This is a
pretty seriousbharge against the leading niem
ber of a reform administration, and it does not
emanate from Democratic sources either.
Rut Secretary Sherman never has acted enough
like a simon pure reformer to fool anybody.
And he stands about as much chance of being
President as Hat es does of a second term.
Blaine, too, is threatened with an attack of
sunstroke since the Pennsylvania convention.
Cameron proves himself master of tiiat com
monwealth. as yet. though things appear less
ibvely than heretofore. The Democrats here
manifest considerable delight over the out
iock,
A strong movement is being made to have
to Democratic National Convention held
here. The Pust is very energetic in advo
cating it. and a good many Congressmen iavor
k 1G idea. W ashington certainly lias many
i advantages, and when the National Commit
tee meets here on the 22d inst. they will be
duly presented lor eonsi leration. This is the
pleasantest city iu the country in spr Qg, is
easy of access, lies midway between the North
and South, and has better telegraph facilities
and hotel accommodations than any other
city. The new government museum building,
already under roof, would make a splendid
bull for the use of the convention, while the
capital is free from all sectional prejudices,
thus making it neutral ground for candidates.
In one oilier respect this city would stand pre
eminent. The convention would be more
fully and fairly reported to the country.
Every newspaper in the Union, near!}', great
or small, has a representative here, and there
Woul 1 not lie such garbled and outrageous
reports as might be expected from the parti
z.in press of Chicago, and other points talked
of.
Some of the Republican ex-office holders,
haunters of capitol committee rooms and old
political hacks, like ex-government printer
Clapp, et al., are pushing an organized move
ment for suffrage in the District of Columbia.
The principal object sought by the leaders is
greater influence in national affairs, while the
smaller fry hunger for the crumbs of local
ofTices. Citizens of tiie District are not citi
zens of the United States in one sense, as
they have no vote or voice in controlling the
affairs of government. And considering the
condition of society existing here, the better
class do not want the ballot. The experi
ences of a few years ago, when the worst
class of ignorant, shiftless negroes and bum
mers controlled the local government, led to
the establishment of our present system, and
all tax-paying, order-loving citizens have no
wish to go back. We have in this city the
largest element of degraded colored popula
tion to be found in any city of its size. The
most revolting and brutal grades of crime are
more prevalent here than in an}’ other city.
Cold-blooded murder, rape, and all sorts of
assault, are of daily occurrence, yet for some
reason justice is very slow and punishment
very rare, so that the people have come to
feel very much like those of a border settle
ment, where Judge Lynch presides. Because
of this, four negro brutes who murdered tin
inoffensive young man in cold blood one
night recently came very near being hanged
without trial or jury. No less than fifteen
murders have been committed during my
residence in Washington, and not one of the
murderers has yet been hung. One trouble
is the negroes on our juries. This class of
population is bad enough now. It is in
finitely worse with the ballot in its hands, for
the ballot gives them greater influence with
the unscrupulous politicians, who use them
for their own ends. Fnoxo.
Mrs. Partington Says.
Don't take any of the quack rostrums, as they
are regimental to the human cistern ; but put
your trust in Hop Bitters, which will cure
general dilapidation, costive habits and all
comic diseases. They saved Isaac from a
severe extract of tripod fever. They are the
ue plus ununi of medicines.
tiIWSCUIA MJWS.
The Eagle and Phoenix Mills convert into
yarns and cloth about 13,000 bales of raw
cotton per annum.
The Dublin Post fears that Laurens county
hasn't a very hopeful prospect before it. It
says “ the farmers fed away all their corn
waging fir cold weather to kill their hogs.
When they did kill, the weather fooled Hum
and spoiled their pork. We shall probably
have a bad crop year, taxes will be high, and
crime runs riot in our midst.”
Mr. C. T. Simmons, of Sumter county, has
shown to the Amcricus Republican about nine
ounces of old iron, consisting of naiis, knife
blades, bolts, screws, nuts, chainlinks, and
some rocks, which were taken from a hog’s
maw that ho recontiy killed. The hog was
a large fat animal and in good health, and
why it had feasted upon such things is what
is puzzling the inquiring people of that sec
tion.
A lady living near flic foot of Blue Ridge
a few days ago built a turkey pen in the hope
of capturing some of the wild turkeys, which
are plentiful in that section. The next day
she found she had entrapped four very fine
ones, and in order to securo them entered
the pen. They immediately began a fierce
attack on her, but, after a time, she succeed
ed in overcoming two of them, and carried
them home in triumph.
The Greencsboro Journal say’s that Mr. Jas
Edmonson and family, living near Bairds
town, narrowly escaped death by poisoning
a few days ago. It seems that Mr. E. had
purchased some strychnine and soda, which
were put up in papers of the same color.
These he laid on the mantlepiece, and by
mistake the cook used the wrong paper in
preparing breakfast. ** The whole family,”
says the Journal, “ also the dogs and cats,
barely oscapcd death.”
The Columbus Times relates the following
amusing anecdote: “A gentleman from
Troup county, who runs a store at Troup
factory, was in New York not a great while
ago and decided that he would buy a nice
shawl and make his wife a handsome pres
ent on his return home. lie accordingly
went in at A. T. Stewart & Co.'s, and re
quested the clerk to show him something
handsome, saving that Ins wife was as good
as anybody and that she should have some
thing fine. The ciork threw down several,
and selecting one that he thought would suit,
the Tmup county man asked the price.
‘Twelve thousand dollars,’ replied the clerk.
‘Well, you just wait until I see my wife,’
said the Troup man, ‘ and if she wants me to
sell out my farm, my stock of goods, and
everything else we have and put the money
iu the shawl, I will let you hear from me.’
A. T. Stewart & Co.’s clerk hasn’t heard
from him yet, and the probability is that he
will not take the shawl.'*
Speaking of the iron interest of Bartow,
the Cartersville Free Press says : “ We are
glad to be able to state that the iron boom
will start up two furnaces in Bartow county,
which have been blown out for a long time,
within a month. Messrs. McNeel & Cham
berlain, having charge of the Bartow works,
are making their preparations as rapidly as
possible to go into blast. That enterprise
will scatter a good deal of money in this sec
tion of country. We wish tiie gentlemen all
the success possible. Mr. R. 11. Couper will
look after the affairs at Ward’s furnace, where
the speigle iron is made. This metal is used
for making Bessimer steel, and is said to be
the best on the American continent. It sells
high. Mr. W. P. Ward, the proprietor, was
in town on Monday to make the necessary
arrangements for going into blast. We wish
it much success. There has been a Western
man in town for several days, offering thirty
five dollars per ton for pig iron, and will pay
that much for five thousand tons. We are
glad to see the iron boom booming down this
way.*’
A Rochester Physician’s Experience.
R. Caulkins, M. D., of Rochester, N. Y.,
certifies, Oct. 6th, 1879. that he has used the
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure in his practice
for diseases of the kidneys and liver, and the
result has been satisfactory in the extreme.
He says : “ I would now prescribe the same
remedy’ to all similarly afflicted, and you are
at liberty to so state in your testimonials.”

General Presentments
Of the Grand Jury, Jackson Superior Court, 1
February Term, 1880.
We, the Grand Jury, chosen and sworn for the
above named term of Court, respectfully beg leave
to make the following report:
By proper committees we have examined the
county books, as charged, and find them kept ac
cording to law.
We find the books of the County School Com
missioner neatly and correctly kept, and we feel
it our duty to return our thanks to Mr. G. J. N.
Wilson for preparing and publishing in the Forest
News, December 12th, IS7O, a report of all the
public schools in this county, these statistics be
ing such that patrons, and others interested, can
detect false reports, if such be made.
We find the Tax Receiver’s books neatly and
correctly kept, but call the special attention of
the Tax Receiver to the-assessing of taxable pro
perty, as wo are satisfied there is property given
in at much less than its real value.
We havo examined the books of the Jastices of
the Peace and Notaries Public of each District,
and find them kept according to law.
STATEMENT FBOM TAX BOOKS,
The amount of tax assessed for county purpo
ses, 1879, is £16,895 12.
Am’t paid Treasurer, as per vouchers..sls,s7s 00
Amount of cash on hand 425 00
Collector’s commission on am’tcol’ted, 400 00
Tax due, not collected 495 12
Total $16,895 12
Which balances with amount assessed.
STATEMENT FROM TREASURER’S BOOKS.
Received from Tax Collector $15,575 00
Cash on hand Jan. Ist, 1880 13,710 03
Cash paid out up to present term of C’t.. 12,117 28
Cash on hand at beginning of Court 2,182 35
Which wo find corresponds with the Tax Col
lector’s books in the amount of money received.
We find the pauper farm and houses are in a
creditable condition. The number of inmates is
five, and they appear to be well cared for by the
Superintendent. We find the entire expenses
funder the new contract) to he as follows : For
December. 1879, $23.00 ; for January, 1880, $13.10,
and provisions enough on hand to run it three or
four months. We recommend the Ordinary to
have some stumps dug up that are near the pau
per house doors.
The committee to examine public buildings beg
leave to make the following report:
We find since the last session of the Superior
Court our Ordinary, Judge Bell, has, under in
structions of said Court, erected an elegant and
durable building for a Court House, which is not
only a suitable edifice, well designed and adapted
to its uses, but also in keeping with the dignity
and wants of the county. W e attach a statement
furnished by the Ordinary. By examination of
said statement, we arrive at the conclusion thai
the funds have been expended with judgment and
care, and with due regard to the financial inter
ests of our citizens. The Court House, lot and
furniture cost SI2,SS7 70. all of which is paid for.
We find the jail in a safe condition, and well
kept. We report the public roads generally in
need of work, and recommend the proper authori
ties to have them worked as soon as practicable.
We recommend the Ordinary to levy a tax not
exceeding two and a half tenths of one per cent,
for county purposes. We find a vacancy in the
office of Notary Public for the 455th District, G.
M., and recommend that James A. Eberhart be
appointed to till said vacancy. We also recom
mend that C. J. Blalock till vacancy in 24Sth Dis
trict, G. M., P. J. Roberts in 245th District, G.
M„ and Theodore Day in 428th District, (J. M.
We find that the terms of three of the Board of
Education have expired. Therefore, we appoint
J. A. B. Mahaftey to fill the vacancy of J. G. Mc-
Lcster, W. G. Appleby to fill the vacancy of J. L.
Williamson, and J. R. lloscli to fill the vacancy
of W. 11. Bridges. We recommend that the She
riffs be paid fifty dollars for extra services at the
present term of Court. We also recommend that
the Board of Education allow the Count}' School
Commissioner one hundred and fifty dollars per
annum for his services. We recommend the Or
dinary to rebuild or repair sucli bridges as were
washed away or damaged by the freshet as soon
as practicable, and see that they are built accord
ing to specifications, as there has been a com
plaint made to our body of some not being built
according to specifications. We return our thanks
to the presiding Judge for the impartial manner
in which he disposes of the business and his kind
ness to our body. We also extend thanks to the
Solicitor General pro tern, for his kindness toward
us and the faithful manner in which he discharges
the duties of his office. We also tender our bailiff
thanks for Ids services and kindness to our body.
\\ e recommend that these presentments be pub
lished in the Forest News.
