The people of Texas gave Gen. Grant a
grand reception.
Professor Sumner, of Yale College calcu
lates that the last presidential electic n
cost the country $4,000,000.
The immense grain elevator about to be
erected by the Pennsylvania Railroad at
Jersey City will cost nearly $1,500, and
will be 200 feet long, 145 feet wide, and
17G feet high.
Blaine is very' strong in Michigan. The
oanvaea which the Detroit Post and Trib
une has been making among its subscribers
foots up: Blaine 3,167, Grant 584, Sher
man 64, and Washburn 60.
The Indianapolis News, an independent
paper, utters, the opinion that with Blaine
or Sherman, the Republicans have a fight
ing chance to carry Indiana next Novem
ber, but none at all with Grant.
Thirty tons of specimens of American
fish, dead and alive, were dispatched from
New York recently to be exhibited in the
international fishery exhibition at Berlin,
which opens at Berlin on the 20th.
Ex-Senator Ross, of Kansas, has pur
chased the Leavenworth Press, and it will
be a Democratic organ. He was one of
the Senators who voted against impeach
ment of Andrew Johnson in defiance of
republican party discipline.
The debt of Michigan is only SBOO,OOO,
while there i* $004,000 in the sinking fund
to pay it. What is more remarkable, the
new State capitol, now completed and paid
for, actually cost $15,000 less than the up
propriation made for building it.
It is related by the Washington corre
spondent of Courier-Journal that a gentle
man who saw a copy of Voltaire lying on
Robert Ingersoll’s table inquired, “How
much did this hook coHt you?” and the
Colonel answered, “The governorship of
Illinois."
The Virginia (Nov.) Enterprize says that
the majority of men on the Pacific coast
are poor, and such will always be the case
until prospecting ceases and men are
taught the lesson that to poseses a
competence they must devote a life-work
to its acquirement.
The New York Senate has pass a bill
which prohibits women’s walking matches.
Penalties are prescibed not only for the
women who take part in the so-called
walking mathes, but also for the malingers
and even for the lessees of buildings in
which they are given.
Major Banks, of Mississippi, who was
secretary of the Democratic national
committee in 1872, rcoreßents the South
as desiring to vote fora Union soldier, and
the ticket that would best suit the Demo
crats there would Hancock and William
B. Morrison, of Illinois.
Albert Sowinski, the Polish pianist, the
rival and contemporary of Liszt, Tlialberg
and Chopin during the reign of Louis
Philippe, has. just died in his seventy
fourth year. He was the son of a Polish
General killed by the Russians during
one of the risings in Poland.
Mr. Stephon D. Dillaye has written a
reply Jto the letter informing him of his
nomination for president of the greenback
convention which met in St. Louis on the
4th instant. He accepts, to resign, how
ever, if not nominated by the convention
w hich meets in Chiorgo, June 1), 1880.
Asa big buzz saw in a Sulffolk (Va.,)
suwmill was tearing through a large log,
suddenly there was a crash; a shower of
•parks, and a demolished saw. It had
run into a pieot of shell that during the
war had been imbedded in tbs tree, and
afterward hidden by the bark, which clos
ed over it.
The Philadelphia Press (rep.) says:
''Pennsylvania is for Blaine, although
her delegates to the Chicago convention
have been instrcted to vote for Grant.
There never was a more extraordinary per
version of popular sentiment than was ef
fected by the republican State convention
when it pledged the votes of Penniylvania
to a candidate whom the people do not
want.”
Mr. P. T. Barmun was asked recently
whether he would be a candidate for may
or of Bridgeport, Conn., if he could be as
sured that he would be elected. “No, sir,"
was the reply: “If I should ever accept the
nomination again, it would be under the
assurance that I would not be elected.
I had rather be a good showman than a
poor mayor. Besides, I am old enough to
know better than accept any more oflices."
A Leading Democratic candidate for the
nomination for Governor of Missouri is
down with the measels. He kissed a Kan
sas City girl baby whose fathir expects to
be a delegate to the convention. If polit
icians must keep up this old-fashioned
practice of kissing girl babies they had
much better wait until they have grown
beyond the measels stage of life; girl ba
bies are ever so much nicer to kiss after
they got have to be 16 or 17.
At the National Democratic Convention,
held four years ago at St. Louis, then
were seven cadidates. Tilden received
403 1-2 votes on the first ballot ; it requir
ed 492 to nominate. On the second bed
lot, Tilden received 508 votes, and was
declared the nominee. Of the otkej ean
dididates, Hancock received 95 votes on
the first ballot, and CO on the last. Bay
ard had 38 votes on the first ballot, but
declined, to 11 on the second. Time
works wonderful changes, and occasional
ly it reverse* figures.
How to Meat a Deg.
A gentleman gives the following advice
in relation to dogs: “If you enter a lot
where there is a vicious dog, be careful to
remove your hat or cap as the animal ap
proaches you, hold the same by your side,
between yourself and the dog. When you
have done this you have secured perfect
immunity from an attack. The dog
will not attack you if this advice is fol
lowed. Such is my faith in this policy
that I will pay all doctor’s bills from dog
bites and funeral expenses for deaths from
hydrodhobia.”—Exchange.
The reasons for the above are easily ex
plained; the dog thinks when the hat ison
the head (somebody e-lsc’shead) that there
may be something in it (the hat, not the
head) millions possibly or perhaps he may
think there are mutton chops in the hat
when it is on the head,and he knows there
are not when the hat is off. It also ex
plains why animals generally will Dot at
tack a drunken man, even with his hat on;
no sane dog would attack “a man with a
brick on his hat.” It is well to bo polite,
however, even to mad dog’s it would be
well if you took j our hut off and jourself
too. I have seen dogs chase cat’s when the
cat had no hat on her head. The writer docs
not say whether we should hand our bat
to the “pup” to play with or not; a friend
of mine who done so, on account of the
dog’s firmness, saj r s it was inconvenient
when he started for home, as ho found his
hut in three or four different places at the
same time, which made it a trifle large for
him. Old straw hats are best to experi
ment with than now silk ones,l think.

A friend writing from New York to the
editor of the Gazette says: “After receiv
ing your letter I hail a talk with quite a
prominent Democratic politician in Brook
lyn, and asked him if the Democratic par
ty of this State would support Tilden if ho
was nominated at Cincinnati, and he said
yes; that Tammany Hall would support
him, although there will be a strong effort
to defeat him in the convention. The
Kelly party continues to talk of a split on
Tilden and refuse to agree to anything
looking to his nomination.” The writer
of the above is a strong anti-Tildemte.
A Cincinnati telegram of the 27th says
the letter which was addressed totiie Hon.
William S. Groesbeck, of this city, signed
by Jonah li. Taylor, and purporting to be
sent by direction of a conference of Dem
ocrats in New York reached Groesbeck this
morning. The letter asks if he would ac
cept the nomination for president and also
his view as to the best man to nominate.
-Mr. Groesbeck regrets the publication of
the letter and declines to give anj’ infor
mation touching his answer which will
probably be written in a few days.
A Herald Washington special of the 27th
says there Ims been a general laugh to-day
among the third term men over the alleg
ed dispatch from this city last night to the
Boston Advertiser saying that it was known
now that the ex-President would withdraw
as a candidate lor nomination at Chicago.
The only think that the third-termers now
seem to be entirelj' certain of is that the
ex-President can be safely depended upon
not to withdraw, and on this account tho
Advertiser’s dispatch is received bj r them
with derision.
Hon. H. G. Turner, of Brooks county,
is the very man to send to Congress from
the Second Georgia District. There is no
better man in Georgia than 11. G. Turner,
and it is a s ; ncere wish that he may be
sent to Congress next fall. Mr. Turner
is no politician or office-seeker, and he
will not turn on his heels to secure a vote.
In this ease the office will have to seek the
man and not the man the office. Let the
Democrats of the Second District rally to
his support for he is the man to represent
the people in Congress.
The people should be very careful who
they send as delegates to the approaching
State Democratic Convention. Delegates
should be sent who will faithfully and
truly represent the people and not the
politicians and chronic office-seekers. The
Democrats should be careful what they do
in the future. Too many blunders have
already been committed and now, just at
the eve of the opening of great political
campaign, is the time to remedy this great
evil by selecting good men for office.
“The leading (?> Democratic paper,” the
New York World, continues to abuse the
Hon. Samuel J. Tilden, for what cause,
however, no one has ever been able to
find out. We consider the New York
World about the poorest excuse for a Dem
ocratic paper that we have yet come across.
The World is the biggest Democratic hum
bug in this country. It is after money
and has no principle.
Nine-tenths of tne people of Georgia are
in favor of Governor Colquitt pardoning
out of the Penitentiarv, Sam. H. Hill, the
slayer of John It. Simmons, the sedueerof
his wife. Petitions are going up to the
Executive Department from all sections of
tile State. No' one should fail to Sign one
of these petitions.
Our frii ml, Charlie Medloek, of the Syl
vaniu Telephone, says: “Dick Grubb has
joined the Independents. Wherefore
lticbard?” Will our young frit-mi inform
us when that happened? No one but him
has heard of it before. Charlie you must
read the Gazette more carefully and not
make such mistakes.
If Governor Colquitt wants to be elected
Governor of Georgia again, why let inm
pardon Samuel 11. Hill out of the P ulten
tiary. That would be a grand day for
Colquitt and his boom woui 1 ont-b. email
others. Let him go, Governor!

so at once.
Tlie Atlanta Republican bas announced
Secretary Sherman as its candidate for the

It is said that Mr. John 11. James, ti e

Governor this fall.
Some of the best people of the state are
signing the Sam Hill petition. Let the
good work go bravely on.

John C. Wilson lias been foun 1 guilty
of bigamy, and has been sentenced to th.

A large number of sign.v .r s have been
obtained in Macon and other cities to pt -

Judge Bleckley is said to be living like
a hermit at Rabun Gap. That is a good

The Sparta Ishmaelite thinks the greed

Atlanta Post: “ Thirty, or more Geor

I’he petitions for pardon are being sign

Henry Jones, a writer of great ability, is
now connected with the Augusta Even

before, but it will be better now.
The LaGrange Reporter pays a neat
compliment to the Hon. Emory Speer, of
the Ninth District, in its last issue. We
endorse every word contained in the arti

The Berrien Count}' News saj T s: “The
Phonograph thinks Sam Hill did right in
slaying Simmons, the destroj’er of his do

we honor him for the act.”
Old man Felton of the Seventh District
is one of the best men in Congress; and so
is Emory Speer, of .the 9th. We hope the
people of their districts will have the good
sense to send them hack next fall.
The Athens Watchman says that “the
course of lion. Emory Speer, of the Ninth
District, has been entirely acceptable and
gratifying to bis constituency, and ex
presses the opinion ti nt he can beat any
man in the district in the next campaign.”
The Brunswick Advertiser says: Messrs.
William and Richard Berrie, of tuis coun
ty and their Florida relations, are about to
secure from the U. S. Government, about
$5,000,000,m settlement of an old Spanish
claim. The Messrs. Borrio have been of
fered, each, $94,000 for their claim by
Secretary Sherman,but they prefer to wait
s.n.l get it all, about $150,000.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Au
gusta Evening News, telegraphs that palter
as follows under date of the 27th: It is
generally thought to-day that since Gov,
Colquitt returned from the Cincinnati ex
cursion he has found that he cannot be
nominated, and that General Gartrell is
developing such that his nomination seems
quite certain , hence Colquitt’s friends now
assert that he will run independent. Some
of Colquitt’s best friends out in the State
held a long consultation with him as soon
as lie returned, and one was frank enough
to tell him that he could no: be nominated.
Politics is on the eve of big changes.
The Madison Madisonian says: “Sam
H. Hill’s doom is sealed. He now goes to
the penitentiary for life, for having slain
the destroyer of his domestic happiness.
Let the people arise in the solemnity of a
petition to the Governor to set at liberty
this unfortunate man, thereby speaking in
tones of thunder, that law or no law, the
libertine who invaded a happy home shall
be shot down like a dog. Had we a thous
and lives to loose, we would snoot the
scoundrel that even attempted to invade
with his poisonous pre-cnee our domestic
circle, and we believe that ninety one hun
dredths of the married men of Georgia
agree with us."

A Wild Goose Hunt.
Et! tor iMrlcn Gazelle:
Having muds up oar min I to hunt wild
gPBH.e forn while, we left Macon one bright
s mshiny day in February to go to Texas.
We spent the first day in gliding through
i the “rod clay hills" of Georgia and Alabama
w -ich every one knows so well; next m ru
ng we wore in the iVrtiie fields of Missis
sippi, now and again passing through a
grand old pine forest, which made us
ih ok for the once, that we were back in
old Georgia. (Soon the pines gave way to
the moss cover, and woods and tangled thick
ets of the lowlands, and then even they
ceased to show themselves, and we <ue in
the lake-country ol Lou.siana. Not a tree
or shrub in sight; n--thing but dags, dags,
dags, broken here and there by some broad
river or bay. No land in sight save the
r dlroad embankment over wfiich wa eas
ily gli ded. Water e very where,floating here
and there, a lazy sailboat. Station nous 8
sand on stilts, i( n 1 the ;. ry na.y tm i--
sell -s seemed lij -toiug ;u-> i: tir uof Man :-
in the water. At last we are acres,-ill
this water, and see an occasional pine or
e/prenb, orange orchards, cane fields, and
tjcii New Orleans. iCiyht t-.rough tne
city and uiong the river with its forests of
masts, by the wharves with a mile ot
hogsheads of sugar, past bales of cotton,
bags of corn, anything and everything
ih it ons wants or does not want to see, to
t ie herd ol’ human beings awaiting iis at
tie depot. thousands of visitors had
c ;me to pay homage to king ilex, rfireet ca, s
and vehicles were stopped by the crowd.
But an aider pen than ours must describe
mardi gras. After the sublime, came the
ridiculous, as wnen there followed ths
flaming announcement, that ‘‘ilex chaws
Jackson’s Best.”
Leaving New Orleans, we crossed the
dirty but grand old Mississippi, and
we boarded the cars for Morgan City on
the Gulf. Away wo went through miles
of sugar and rice plantations, through
swamps and thickets, across rivers, lakes
bayous, to Morgan City. We were soon
on board one of the large steamers of the
Morgan line and standing out for the Gulf.
One can scarcely tell when they enter the
Gulf, for there is no beach, but merely an
end to the marshes. Out we go througa
the muddy, shallow water, between two
rows of poles stuck up, with palmetto
leaves tied to them, and then the heavy
roll and deep blue of tuo water, tells us
tnat we are a i.ttle iurtfier from bottom.
Next morning we were in the beautiful
city of Galveston. It is the ci anest, neat
est, healthiest looking city we have ever
seen. The sidewalks are boarded with
oleander bushes,orange trees and bananna
plants peep up from behind every ieuoe.
After sampling a lew oysters,shell and ail,
took tue ears for Houston. Crossing tne
bay on tressils, wit a barnacles growing
upon them and half eaten off by borers,
we come to the first Texas prairie, a level
ocean ol grass, dotted here and there with
a heard of cattle, or a lioek of beautiful
sentinal-standing geese. After awhile
the islands or mots of timber came in
sight and an occasi -nal rancho, by some
beautiful bayou, which waives so gracelul
that they seemed artificial, and with no
banks, but the prairie gradually slopping
from the waters edge. Boon tile timber
gets more beautiful, and the land is roll
ing a ltttle, with here and there a field.
On we go over one of tiie roughest rail
roads that it has ever been our misfortune
to travel. Now in a cotton plantation, now
in a wood, now in a prairie. Here we
cross a ravine, there we jump a bayou, un
til we arrive at Houston. We ale now m
the cotton producing country. Here tue
plant grows to perfection. The average
yield is three quarters ol a bale per acre,
some lands make more, some less. Along
tue Brazos river, the yield is as fiign as
one anil a half bales to the acre, if the
season is favorable. One can scarcely con
ceive ot how rich this land is. l ire Bull is
twenty feet deep ,u some places. There
are two kinds of soil, one is gray and the
other black, l’ho bi.tea is tue blackest,
stickiest mud I ever saw. It would p-.y
to sack it up and snip it back to the old
worn out fiel Is of Georgia, lire weeds are
from ten to fifteen feet high in the ieiice
corners, and the Cotton stalks which grew
year before last, are largi enough to knock
any man down with. Last year there was
not a drop of rain tell between the 22nd ot
April and middle ot Octob r, yet there
was a half bale of cotton and twenty bush
els of corn per acre made. It was the most
unfavorable ever known.
There is not a pine tree in this county.
The growth jh oak, ash elder, hack berry
and p-can and all covered with our gray
moss. Providence Las j rovidt dun inex
haustible supply ot rail timber in the
cedars, which grow long and straight an i
if once a fence is made ot them it is there
lnrt-vi-r. 1 hey huvi; h good deni ol wiuth
er in 1 exits. Southerly winds prevail,
briugmg with teem the lazy looking
cion*ls from the Gulf and the air is as
warm and pleasant as one could wish,
when in a twinkling, witnout a moments
warning the w ind wears to the northward
and then, rats to your holes; in half an
hour 'twil feel like it is lrei-zing. The 13th
instant was warm and pleasant,but on the
morning ol the 14, we hail a “non *r, and
on the loth everything was covered with
icehalt an inch thick. Every thing is as
cheap out here as in Georgia, some things
a great deal cheaper. Horses are worth
from $lO to $lO, and some jackasses for
73 cents. 'Toe people are true warmheart
ed, hospitable bouthemers. Seven-eights
of them are from other states: Georgi i and
Alabama have sent mobt out here and they
all say they will never go back. Let “Red
lop," of the Atlanta Constitution,
solicit dots from emigrants for biographi
cal sketches and may be he will get enough
after awhile to sell for waste paper, and
pay ids way out here, where he can got
enough to eat and cure himself of billious
ncss. Ibis is as healthy as any country m
the world; nearly everybody is educated
an l instead of linding a lot ol blood-thirsty
eut-lhroats, we have found a country full
of aristocratic men anti women. Nearly
every village in the State has its high
school or college, and as every' body ties
money they are liberally patronized. Tex
ans have been fooled so much by tramps
and sharpers, that they arc suspicions of
new comers, and ask “what have you
done?” but when once they tin 1 a man
out t’ ey are his true friend. The is some
little killing -oiim on, but no more than
else where. There law prohibits the carry
ing of weapons concealed or open, and if
you want to “pack-up your sax shooter, ’*
you must put it in your saddle-bags.
The la in san' as accomplished as any j
in the land. They can “paw ivory” and
sing as well as any girls.
The cotton crop of 1878 was 980,000
hales sßelbtth' ef it handles! in Hnns-
t n. When we remember that this is one
forth of the entire crop of the South, you
can form some idea what this country is. A
young man need not expect to come out
here and shovel up money by the peck.
This is a farming country and muscle
tells. The wages paid to farm laborers is
as much as is paid to city clerks. If a
young mau wants to come here, let him
comt in tiie fall, rent ft pieco of land, hire
a “nigger .mi go between the plow-han
dies and stick there for three years and he
will have him a home that is worth some
thing. In tfi:s part of Texas land is worth
from sl2 to $lO per acre, further west it
can be bought for $2 or $2.
Politics are “red-hot’ out here, young
America taking an active part and war
ring against the old Texans who want to
run the go-eminent thems Ives. General
Grant will pay us a visit after be leaver
Mexico. He has been invited to the prin
cipal cities already. When he shall have
measured the malitia force of Mexico, and
is elected for a third term, has the army
increased, picks a quarrel with Mexico
and invades her territory, gets the army
und- r -is control and then declares him
self Dictator, then Texes will be hear t
from. Biippo.
