O'JR BR’J .'SWICX LETTcR.
[Regnl&r Corr<.epon<ltu ce of The Darien Gazette.]
Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 14, 1874.
Editor Gazette:
Brunswick, the Venice of America,
like the Venice of Italy, in reality
“s< ems sleeping.” Tluir have been
no exenrsions as gulla parties for
several weeks, and business has been
remarkably dull.
The Baptist Union gave an eiuer
ta;nment on Tuesday evening !ut, at
tbe residence of Mrs. Bailing. A l
goodly- number were present and a
handsome sum realized.
On Thursday evening the Silver!
Cornet Band were handsom ly enter
tained at the residence of Mrs. J. S.
Marlin. Ice cream and cake in
abundance had been provided for the
occasion by the hospitable hostess,
and after partaking of the refresh
ments the bun l discoursed the mos
delicious music. The grand strains
of the “Shepherd” floated sweetly
throughout the cifv 1 and over tin
waters on the still evening air, A
brilliant quick-step, one of Prof.
Lyon’s compositions, on this occasion
was named by a lady guest “The
Annie May,” in honor of one of
Brunswick’s fair and lovely daughters.
. I
Again the harmonious strains of that j
soul-thrilling hymn of the French,
Lj Marscllaise drifts over the city,
lingers lovingly among the f stnoned
boughs of the oaks, hovers over the
homes of the citizens, its wild extrava
y+nzasu\ unison with the feelings of
the jubilant, while its deeper passages
lulls the weary to repose. Tln-re
were many beautiful pieces rendered
with a brilliancy and perfection ac
quired only by the most skillful train
ing. Great credit is due Prof. Lyon,
who has acquired more than a local
reputation as a composer and teacher.
Near the hour of midnight, after
again partak ng of the refreshments
the company retired. Mrs. Marlin’s
example might well bo imitated by
others, thus showing in a manner
more substantial than words, their
just appreciation of an organization
so worthy of praise, and which con
tributes so largely to the enjoyment
of the community.
D. & J. Lesser have just re eived
their fall goods; their store, always
popular is now the general resort of
all who delight in examining hand
some goods. As your paper lias a
large circulation in Brunswick I don’t
sec why the merchants of this city
don’t advertise liberally in The Ga
zette; hope to hear of their doing so.
For several weeks past The Gazette
has not reached its subscribers here
before Sunday or Monday morning.
Having several times been inforiueu j
by Mr. Grubb that each week’s issue
has always been forwarded on Friday
evening to Brunswick. I, upon in
quiry, learn that the difficulty is be
tween tbe delivery here and D.irien.
The issue of the st.h was delayed at
No. 1, M. & B. R. R., amt last, week’s
issue airived at the post office here
Friday night, but was not distributed
nil Saturday evening at 8 oklock.
Will not our accommodating post
master and the gentlemanly clerk see
that hereafter the papers are distri
buted more promptly? The sub
scribers ought not to blame the pro
prietor, for it is no fault of his.
Base ball is now the general topic
of conversation among the boys;
there have been several clubs recent
ly organized in the city.
On Friday'last the Hebrews of the
city closed their places of business
“with the setting sun.” Aceordiiu’
to their faith at that hour begins new
i year's day of the 5635 year of the
Jewish cailendar.
The ladies of St. Mark’s have
plunued a fishing excursion and pic
nic on the banks o the Satiila riv r,
on tbe Brunswick and Albany rad
road, for Thursday next. The ladies
of St. Mark’s P. E. Church are justly
celebrated for the delightful enter
tainments they have given during the
season, and as the one now in view,
if the day should bo fine, will un
doubtedly be a grand success.
It is rumored that the fire compa
ny will soon give a grand ball, Mc-
Cullough, chairman of the committee,
knows exactly how to get up the most
pleasant cut< rtaiuments.
Bay street seems to be tke general
resort of the people of cu lar, whose
combative propensities ge:. the better
of them, and the avenue is almost
daily enlivened with their broils.
It is reported that part ee are now
! negotiating for a track oi land a few
miles from town, whereon to estab
lish a tannery. Also, that a company
lias been foimed for the purpose of
| making lime from oyster shells.
To-morrow evening the Methodist
Mite Society give an entertainment
at the residence of Mr. C. G. Moore,
i Their social gatherings aie always
pleasant and generally well attended.
The young men are about to organ
ize a Dancing Club, and propose
I giving a calico ball early in the com
ing month. More anon.

IK3K. JULIAN HARTR’DIF’3 LETTER OF
ACCEPTANCE.
Savannah, September 5, 1874.
Messrs. VV. T Thompson, J. L Sweat
M. L. Mebshon, Committee:
Gentlemen: —l have just receiver
your letter giving me the official in
formation of my nomination by tin
| Democratic Convention, which Maseru
bled at Bbiekslijgir on Wednesda”, to
represent the First C mgrirsion I
District of Georgia m the Forty-f urth
Congress of the United States.
Tiie manner in which the Domina
tion Das boon tend< red me precludes
II p iMsibility of my declining ii.
The position of Representative of
• f the Si ate of Georgia in the Feder
al Congaess is one which confers a
high honor and imposes a grave re
sponsibility; ami, while 1 feel deeply
grateful for the compliment paid ami
the confidence evinced, I at the same
time fully appreciate the nature of the
,Uty assumed by an acceptance of
this nomination.
But I trust that the same liberal
sentiment which you inform me ap
proved the nomination, will extend to
the efforts I shall rn die, if elected, to
meet the expectations and wishes ot
the constituency Is .all represent.
In my view, the iliries <>f a R pre
seutativo in the Federal Congress are
not. confined to any particular section
of his Suite; he is one of the Represent
atives of the. whole State, Entertaining
this view, I shall endeavor to main
tain those true principles of constitu
tional liberty, which are the last, safe
guards of tlie rights of the St ues, and
though the preservation of those
rights, are the security for the liberiy
anti protection of the nullvi tual citi
zen.
The vital issue in the present po
litical contest is to prevent t..e en
croachment of Federal power upon
the social l guts of the people, 4he
dominant party in Congress, not sat
isfied with Paving obtained, By amemi
lmiitsof the Const it u ion, a recogni
tion of the political nguis of tin? c 1-
ored race—-seek now, By siatulcs to
force t-liat race into a social equuliiv i
with the white people. The. oi ja t
of tins effort is not tlie material goo i j
ot the negroes, Imi lo procure their i
votes in iavor of the Radical puny. j
For such statutes there is no authority !
even in the amendments of ihe Con
stitution. Tne tn acini rut of them
should bo up ,osC iby ad the friends
of true consuluiionai liberty, ami by
all who really i.e.-nro the elevation
ad prosperi.y of the colored race.
To the peo] 1 ; of the south the issue
is one of life am- death; for 1 fie suc
cessful eiitoi'cemen ol such laws u*>ti.d
only be accomplish alter L mbit con
test and bloodshed; ami nie i sub
would be degradation of out race and
the destruction ol son:hern eiviliz,-
ti n.
The intelligent portion of the col
ored citizens cannot fail to see Unit
such a conti si, must eventuate m irre
parable injury to them, it Hit re wore
uo intt i'i6i onee of Federal powt r, alia
an end ol the tfl r s of imendiantfe
and auventurers to stir up strife, the
relations of the two races wmi and soon
ho settled to tlie satisfact.ou uUo
benefit ot both.
I need not state to the people ol
ibis District that in such a political
contest as this my p sit ion is on tin
side of the Constitution as con
stmed by the D niociuitic party, ami
of the best interests ol my peop.e ami
State.
The Convention which did me the
honor to nominate me, was aware of
the fact that citcumslaiices b \o ni
my control would compel me to be
absent fr un the S ate during paifc <>i
tbe time between tlns ami the day ol
election. I shall *• -dcavor, however,
to visit the different sections of tue
district mid exj r-ss, in pi r-on to my
fellow-ci izens my h’gh appreciation
of the confidence tiny have reposed
i:i me, and my resolution it eiecn-u,
to maint iin, to the utmost of my abili
ty, their lights and their honor.
Permit me, gentlemen, to than.,
yon for the complimentary terms in
which you have conveyed to me tbe
information of tiie action ot the con
vention. The language in which you
have cintched your communication
increases tlie p wn-ure and pride 1
fe 1 at receiving site a a nomina l n*i.
With sentiments of personal esu em,
I subscribe myself,
Your obedient and humble seir-mt,
Julian H ariiidoe. J
Tiie Col minis Enqirer, having
completed its inquiry into t>e state
of local social seienc**, presents the
following u p lit w ich is as vividly
drawn as one of Due’s pictures:
“A sorry sight if is to see a spike
team, consisting of a s’.;, -lelon s’ tet
and a skinny, Idind mule with a r p<
harness, and a squint-eyed and iver,
hauling a barrel of new whiskey over
poor roads,on a iierm..piirodi.e n .ij.m.
into a farming district where tiie peo
ple are m debt, ami the eiinidien
fofeed to pramici scant at ire by nay
aud hungry sleep- g by night.”
