§aricu®imkf<BMr ttICHAKD W. GRUBB, Editor A FroprlVrl ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 DARIEN, GEORGIA. SATURDAY MOISMDEC. 12111,1974. THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. As we are un bio to publish the President’s met■.•■•ago, we give the fol lowing commenls, from an exchange ; “On the financial qnesti >ti, llie dis cussion <>f whioli was expected to be 11 10 leading feature of the message, while t!io President adheres general ly to his h.nner Cows of bringing the currency up to a specie basis imme diately, if not sooner, he advances no new ideas in support of that policy that are calculated to enlighten the pub ic';, regard to its feasibility. On this subject the message will not meet the expectations of the contraction ists. “The message has nothing to say on the subject of the grand internal im provement-scheme which it. was given out from Washington would be re commended ns a means of giving employment to labor and setting mo* ney in circulation in the country. If the President really contemplated such a profligate policy, the very strong opposition to it manifested by the Northern press of all parties Inis deterred him from proposing it. “Southern affairs are treated very much in the old Radical way. In re gard to the Louisiana usurpation the President not only uses his old ar gument of justification —his duty to execute the laws, which he declares to be authorized by the amendments —but he declares it to be his firm conviction that ‘the present State offi cers (Kellogg, of course included,) received a majority of the legal votes cast at the election.’ This virtual de cision of the cam does not bear up the argument of his apologists, Mr. Stephens among the rest, who main tain that Grant did not assume to de cide who was the rightful Gov. rnor of Louisiana, confining himself sim ply to his duty of enforcing the de cision of the court. “O.i the subject of Southern out rages the President is singularly lame afid inconsistent. After a general endorsement of the fabrications of Landaulet Williams’ slander mill, as serting that there existed a geneial determination at the South, ‘by acts of violence and intimidation to de prive citizens of the freedom of the ballot, because of their political opin ions,’ and that ‘murders enough were committed to spread terror among those whose political opinions were to be suppressed,’ lie takes occasion to say that these things have been somewhat, exaggerated, and recom mends nn investigation by Congress. “It is not too much to say that General Grant is the least informed public man in the country, if lie does not know that the raw-head-and bloody bones stories which lie lias en dorsed are not exagefations at nil, but simply lies from the whole cloth, concocted in the office of his Attorney General last summer while he was having a good time sloshing round the country. "It is evident that General Grant is sick of even the pretence of civil service reform, and longs to return to tile old fruitful days of official free dom,, when he could place a brother in-law', or an aunt, or a third cousin in office with not eten a figurative board to say him nay. We shall look with interest to see what that national representative of flapdoodleism, Geo. William Curtis, will say to this por tion of the President’s message. For the rest, it may to assume that Giant has not met the expectations cf his own party. This message was looked forward to as the key-note to anew departure in Republican policy as well as morals, but there is noth ing to indicate that the President cares whether his party meets the emergency of 187 G in fighting trim or not—and we are certain we do not. fa®-Ex-Mayor Havemeyer, of New York, fell dead in his office, the other day, at the age of seventy-odd. ®SS“The whites and blacks are still fighting at Vicksburg. The people are having a hard time of in poor Mississipi. ♦♦♦ — £3rHon. W. D. Bloxham will pro bably be Hie new United States Sen vtov from Florida. AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA- Frank Evans of the Alapalm Fores h r, is now-going it alone, Hanlon hav ing retired from that paper. Frank has sold his gravy dish and done gone and broke np housekeeping. How rash these young editors arc. The Monroe A<l Her/i-rr is pitching nfo “Little Aleck” with gloves off b:> cause lit l went to Washington ad told Grant how much lie loved him. The average Georgian now in Texas writes home timsly: “If I can make enough to get, back on you can look for me soon.” Georgians should take warning and stay where they are. And now the startling news comes that Gorman—he of Yurup—was in Albany the other daj\ He hasn't been over to Europe, however, this week. Two policemen of Augusta wire wrestling the other day when one was thrown to the ground and killed. The man that did the throwing was drunk but did not intend to hurt then man that was killed. The Jesup Georgian thinks this is a a good old time for a ’posom and coon hunt, We shouldn’t be surprised, brother. The Atlanta News has been inter viewing H. I. Kimball, who recently went back to Atlanta to live. Governor Smith addressed the col ored emigrant, convention in Atlanta, the other day. He advised the color ed people of Georgia to quit loafing around the street corners, and go to work. If the colored people through out the State would only take the advice of Governor Smith they would certainly be a great deal better off. It seems that everybody is pitching into the Central Railroad, just about now. Lewis Strickland, colored, was hanged at Gainesville, Franklin coun ty, on last Friday. He was convicted at the Fall term of the Superior Court of the murder'of one Mr. Dickson, near Tocoa City, some months ago. Air. S. 11. Craig, of Henry county, died in the guard-house at Hampton on Monday evening. He was intoxi cated, and was put in the lock-up by the marshal about eleven o’clock, and on going at four o’clock to take him out, found him dead. The Atlanta News says: Several loads of emigrants arrived in the city on the Georgia railroad yesterday, en route for Texas. There were several parties with families. They had the appearance of being farmers, and were a very respectable looking party. The Atlanta Constitution says: We learn from Col. W. W. Clark, one of the directors of the Georgia railroad, that the lots fora new town \\i 11 soon bo run off at New’s Station, on the Georgia railroad, ten miles from At lanta, and the centre of DeKalk coun ty. The town is to be laid off at right angles and with wide streets. As soon as laid off, and the native growth trimmed up, the sale will ttike place. Already a number of influen tial citizens of Augusta have an nounced their intention of purchasing lots and building residences there. As it is to boa temperance town, we suggest that it be named Hickman, in honor of the great temperance orator, Dr. J. J. Hickman. It is predicted that in less than five years it will have 3,000 inhabitants. Mr. Kelly Banks, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Columbus, commit ted suicide in that place on Saturday last, by shooting himself through the head with a pistol, causing immediate death. Cause not known. Billy Patterson died in Georgia, the other day,- and his heirs and as signs will not carry out that inquiry concerning the personality of the in dividual who once struck him. The blow seems to have been fatal nt last Four millions of letters are annu ally sent through the Atlauta post office, and the sale of stamps amount to more than $2,000 a month. Bartow county is being surveyed by the State Geologist. A negro boy in Monroe county last week killed a white boy named An thony. Mrs. General Sherman is one of the contributors to the Catholic fair in Augusta, The farmers of Troup county are materially extending their wheat area. Gov. Smith offers a reward of two hundred dollars each for sundry par ties implicated in the murder of Jack son Bradv. of Clinch. THE SIN. WEEKLY, SEMI-WEEKLY, AND DAILY.
