Ifowniimkt sa?rttr RICHARD W. GRUBB, Editor & Proprl r. Bm *rr a - —" - ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 50. DARIEN GEORGIA^ SATURDAY MORNING, DEC. 26th, 18H. CHRISTMAS. In the olden time, Christmas was a social occasion, full if joy and thank fulness marked by family reunions and friendly greetings #ud kindly -benefactious. Each annual recurrence echoes and repeats the ancient proph etic benediction, “Peace on earth, good will to man.” The great histor ic truths linked with the day, telling of holier hopes and higher motives unknown to selfish aims, inspiring charity, devout trust, observance of right and discharge of duty, should impress the mind and perrade the heart. The recognition of these prin ciples will insure a happy Christmas, and carry into the after days pleasing reminiscences of a time well spent. Happy Christmas to the young with fruition of their innocent anticipa tions. Happy Christmas to the older with well founded expectations of a good time coming. Hon. W. W. Montgomery, of Savannah, it is rumored, will he Hon. Wm. Schley’s successor as Judge of the Eastern Circuit. Judge Mont gomery was one of the Supreme Court Judges last year and is spoken of as an able lawyer. We guess the appointment of Judge M. will give general satisfaction throughout the circuit. - The Georgia Legislature con venes in Atlanta, on the second Wed nesday in January. The coming Legislature will be one of much busi ness. Postal Cabd Dunning. —To duu a debtor on a postal card has just been decided by the Supreme Court of Ohio as unlawful. The court held that anything so written as to injure the credit or reputation of any one is a crime. The decision was made in a case of a man who dunned a debtor for an old account on a postal card, and in that manner made the matter public to tht detriment of the latter s credit elsewhere. A negro committed an inde scribable assault upon a twelve year old daughtir of a United States Judge, in Boston, on the 20th. The brute as sisted himself with a knife. There jfi some hope that the child will not die. Hanging is too good for that villain. “4* The Radicals have everything their own way down in Florida—.just as we predicted some time ago. The man who has the most greenbacks will go to the Senate of the United States. S&- Boss Wm. M. Tweed don’t like prison life. We don’t see why, he has a better time than most of us that are out of jail. It is now asserted that Gov. Ames was the cause of the Vicksburg troubles. We sh on I’d be surprised. ♦ ■■■ ■ Governor Chamberlain is giv ing general satisfaction to the tax payers of poor South Carolina. BSTThe Democrats have a majority in the lower house of the Louisiana Legislature of 24. Good. ®&*Tom Thumb is worth $300,000. That is a big fortune for a small man like little Tommy. ■4* S®* Boston had a $500,000 fire on the 15th inst. Boston is certainly very unlucky. Calumny. —Stabbing and wounding character, name, virtue and reputa tion with the tongue; the thry-sai/ers of society who lurk in the highways and byways and back adevs of social life, ‘‘where knives are hidden in vel vet sheaths, and who spread with in visible poison even the spotless white ness of the winding sheet,” and roll as a sweet morsel under their tongue every hint, insinuation, suspicion or even jest, and start the calumny o > the wings of the wind that it may gather force as it flies. “There are many devils that walk this world, Devils great and devils small. Devils with tails and devils withont. Devils who whisper, devils who shont, Devils who mistify, devils who teach; Bnt the calnmny is hard to leach, • And is the shabbiest devil of all. [Savannah Sun. 9®" A lover writing to his sweet heart, says: “Delectable dear—you are so sweet that honey would blush in your presence, and molasses stand appalled. AFFAIRS IN GEORGIA- It is said that the Savannah Newt office has ceased using gas. Harris head answers all purposes. Charlie Pendleton, of the Valdosta Times, spends his Sundays in Savan nah. He informs ns that just as soon as he gets the consent of a certain Sa vannah belle he will remain in Valdos ta and attend Sunday school there. The Alapaha Forester is offered for I sale. Frank Evans has bought an in terest in the Albany News and will hereafter devote his talent to that paper. Frank, old fellow, you have our best wishes. A young man by the name of Tom Cloud was killed in Bambridge, the other day. It is said that whiskey was the cause of the death of this young man. Miller did the killing and they say he was justifiable. The police force of A lanta present ed Mayor Spencer with a gold-beaded cane recently. The Jesup Georgian wants the tim ber cutters to go into the stave busi ness. The Georgian thinks there’s money in it. The Pearson Pioneer has been pre sented with iwo more messes of tur nips. Oh, how kind some people are. The Atlanta News says old John Robinson’s show is the biggest thing now South. All of our exchanges praise the old man’s circus. The Hawkinsville Dispatch says Ham, of the Macon Star, is now the father of a little “music box.” That will do. Next! All the young people around Haw kinsville are getting married. The Dispatch published six marriages in its last issue, anil it wasn’t a good week for marrying either. Go to Hawkinsville, young man ! John D. Carter has severed his con nection with the Savannah Sun. Albany had a small sized shooting scrape the other day. Two men were wounded. The Brunswick Band gave a con cert in Albany last week. Joe Greer hasn’t been heard of since, and it is thought he has gone in search of the P. G. in G. Great anxiety is felt as to Joe’s whereabouts. The father of Hon. John Jonrs, the State Treasurer, is spending the win ter at Brunswick. Ho is stopping at the Blain House and likes his fish and oysters three times a day. There are three route mail agents employed on the Brunswick and Al bany railroad, at large salaries, when one man could do the work and have a good time at that, as they only run a tri-aeekly schedule. However, such is Radicalism. Oil" country exchanges are pitching into Gentry, of the Savannah News, for saying that it did not pay to ad vertise in the weekly papers. We don’t believe Gentry made that re mark. A Dr. Nolan had his nose bitten off in Butts county the other day, by a Mr. Crabtree. A doctor’s bill was the cause of it all. The Griffin News says “when the cold season is over the first doctor that sticks a Dill at us we will get his bill chewed off the same way.” The Atlanta Herald has this to say of General Colquitt and the next. Gov ernorship: We notice almost daily, in onr exchanges, articles commend ing this distinguished gentleman and pure patriot as the next Democratic candidate for Governor o f Georgia. Though nearly all of them we find, expressed or latent, a fear that lie will not allow the use of his name before Hie convention. We feel authorized to state positively that, such is not the case. While General Colquitt will not make an officious tour of the State, he will not decline to let his name go before the convention. The Atlanta Constitution lias this: As an evidence ot what individual at tention and thorough cultivation can do in farming, we give the actual yield of R. H. Hardaway’s filteen-aere farm in Thom is county, this year: Six bales of cotton, three hundred and t wenty bushels of corn, 71 bush els of oats, 38 bushels of lice, five banks of sweet potatoes, four tons of hay, kersliaws and pumpkins enough to furnish pies during the winter, and sweet potato-vine hav enough for his cattle during the winter. An imita tion of this example throughout the State would do much more toward making money cheap than all the usury laws that can be passed. GEN.BANKS ON RECONSTRUCTION SOUTH General N. P Banks delivered a lecture in Boston, recently, on “The Reconstruction of the Jsoutb.” He declared that the financial and busi ness embarrassments under which tin. country was laboring were due to the condition of affairs in the South, and said that it was impossible that a portion of llie country should be in anarchy an 1 its twelve millions of people suffering an invasion of their social and political rights, and the other portions be unaffected. He traced the history of reconstruction, and depicted the horrors of carpet bag government, which had piled up a mountain of debt and brought the Southern States to the verge of repu diation. He spoke favorably of that portion of the President’s message referring to reconstruction, but said that the time must come when it would be forced upon the people and the President that tile whole of the difficulties at the South were on ac count of the United States officials holding office there, and it might come to pass that, by special vote of Congress, these men would be pro hibited from taking part in local poli tics. The people, he declared, were able to govern themselves, and they should he allowed to do it. In clos- j ing, he spoke for the rights of the ! minority. Though he won and not ar gue that the Southerners could claim any rights, tin y constiluted a mi gldy ! power. The general government might crush them out, but we wauted no more war, no more force, no more bloodshed. We should strive to find a common ground on which harmony betweeu all sections and all classes can be secured. “WASH MANLEY ON SASSINSERS.” Griffin News: The following has never been told very generally, but at. the risk of a row we arc bound to tell it now : Some two years ago Wash Manley went to Southwest Georgia fir the purpose of hiring hands, tak ing the early train from this place. Arriving at Macon about day break, a little later than his usual breakfast hour, he was not prepared to wait with patience for the 9 o’clock meal time at the Brown House. But Hav ing to tough it out, he gladly obeyed the summons of “Big John” as he yelled, “Walk in gentlemen, walk in,” and soon found himself seated at. a table. Here was another delay, as it took some tim to fill his order. Wash saw something in a dish, and being exceedingly hungry, concluded to try the contents, thinking they were sau sages. Getting one in his mouth ari l chewing it for awhile, lie dropped it out in a hurry, in fact, quicker than a fellow would drop a hot iron, and bawled out. at the top of his voice, “Here, you confounded nigger, come here and take these cussed ‘sassin gers’ away, for the last one of them are spiled.” He had mistaken cod fish balls for hotel sausages. Carl Sciiurz and the Politicians. — A Washington dispatch to the New York Evening Post says: The a.,xiety of both parties about the political fijtnre is manifest, in lh<* treatment of Carl Scburz Earnest endeavors are making by the Repub licans to conciliate him politically. Even Cabinet officers recommend of fering him the Russian mission. On the other hand ex-Confederate sol diers in the Senate and House are urging Missouri Demo rats not to op pose his re-election to the Senate. Several private meetings of prominent Republican Senators have recently been held to devise anew policy for the party. Some of them have been attended by Cabinet officers. No re sult bus been reached thus far. [WRITTEN FOR THE DARIEN GAZETTE.] CHRISTMAS, 1874. BY W. J. WARRINGTON. “The year begins to tremble with decay Like an old man who leans upon his staff, And in the graveyard reads the epitaph Of all his offspring who have passed away.” Ring out. oh, glad Christmas bells. And let your wandrons chymings Like mystic awe, inspiring spells, Or golden rhunic rhymings ; Slir all the hidden chords of life The finer depths of being, Till ends the sorrow sown in strife In glorious after seeing. The earth is full of corn and wine, ’Tis briming o'er witn rich treasure, Tis wrapt about with gilts divine And goodness beyond measure ; Then let us bow our heads, and send To God, a full thanksgiving, Forgive our foes, and to our friends, Cling closer in holier living. Charleston, S. C., December 12. A Frenchman intending to compliment a young lady by calling her a gentle lamb, said: “She is one mutton as is small.” From Florida comes the ro mantic story of Delia Jones, a full blooded negress, 40 years of age. She fell desperately in love with a young white man, a carpenter, and realizing the fact that he could never he any thing to her, she turned her property into cash ($7,250), left it to him 0; will, and then went oft and drowuec herself. A young lady cleric in a ietai grocery store in Chicago, stole enougl money, in three years, to enable he to be married in a five hundred dol lar silk dress.
