THE fJI'ItKKN’ATOUIAL
(AMASS
Is likely to awaken l>ut little in
terest. The people at large are
evidently averse to a heated con
test. No important issues at pre
sent divide the public .mind, and a
straggle over personal aspirations
and preferences would bo ns un
seemly as hurtful. From careful
enquiry and observation, wo are
inclined to the opinion that a large
majority of the people are satisfi
ed that the present worthy incum
bent of the executive chair, should
remain there during the unexpired
term of his distinguished and la
mented predecessor.
AN ERA
Of peace and good will seems at
last to have dawned upon the coun
try. For which everybody should
Is? devoutly thankful. The politi
cal discussions which for the last
decade have agitated the popular
mind, have been hurtful to even
interest. They have generally re
lated more to restless and aspiring
men than to important measures,
and kept nli.e emotional alienation
and ill feeling. For the last year
or more there has been a innikcd
improvement iu the animus of the
people all over the country. Sec
tional fraternity is being gradually
restored, and the people north and
south by business and social inter
course, are learning that the Amer
ican people, at last, have n commu
nity of interest, and should there
fore have kindred aims and aspira
tions. Tlfis change in sentiment
and feeling, will work most saluta
ry results to the industries, wealth
and general welfare of the whole
■country. To tho South especially,
it will give anew impulse, by the
accession of capital and capitalists.
A! ready in Georgia and other
Southern States, there is a percep
tible and gratifying appreciation
in real estate aud other property.
A TIH K l*A’l ItlOT
Is Bill Arp, as well ns a good
philosopher. Like other men lie
has inspirations and ambitions.
We do not believo them either wild
or iutrusive. In his letter of tin's
week, which we publish in part to
day, Mr. Arp mildly intimates that
it would gratify him and his most
estimable wifo and the little Arps,
to bo addressed as Governor. And
vot, for the sake of harmony, he is
willing to postpone his claims until
a more propitious day, when har
monized Democracy’ shall see eye
to eye, and on a tidal wave, like
another Cineinnatus, bear him into
the executive chair. At present
ho sees no chance for anybody but
the Boyntons.
I>KATH OF A (iOOl) LADY.
The" Macon papers announce the
death of Mrs. Ann B. Dense, a
most excellent Christian lady. She
was well-known and highly esteem
ed by a large circle of friends in
Middle Georgia. We extend to the
surviving friends our sincere con
dolence in their sad bereavement.
Her funeral was largely attended.
QI'EEX VICTORIA'S IN,H-
JtIKS SEKIOIS.
A telegram from London under
the date of March 21st says :
There is intense excitement in tlie
city to-day over the condition of
Queen Victoria. Her injuries re
ceived Saturaday by falling on the
palace stairway now prove serious.
All the court physicians are in at
tendance, and bulletins are issued
every few minutes. The streets are
crowded. Business is partly sus
pended. The last bulletin says the
Queen’s injured limb is greatly
swollen.
OV. STEPHENS’S I,AST SIG-
N AT IKE.
This morning a number of call
ers had congregated in the office of
the Governor’s secretary discussing
the traits of the* late Governor's
wonderful character when Secreta
ry Warren said : “On Wednesday
night before his death, the Gover
nor heard of the accident that had
befallen my little boy who had ac
cidentally shot himself in the arm.
Forgetting his own sufferings he
immedi iteiv dictated a letter to the
family expressing his regret at the
uifortunate occurrence, and ex
pressing his sympathy, with the
hope that the accident would not
prove a serious one. He signer 1
hi i name himself and I think it was
the last signature of his life.”—At
lanta Star.
c;ooi>-Fmi)Av.
It has been customary iu every
age of the world to note the sayings
and doings of wise and good nieu
and commemorate their pious and
noble deeds by appropriate testi
monials. The American people
have leceptly shown their appre
ciation of piety, patriotism and phi
lanthropy, by paying a hearty and
loving tribute to the memory of
one of their most distinguished
sons.
All this is well, and must exert
a good influence upon those who
come after him, to the latest gene
ration. The good acts of men nev
er cease to live and bless the world,
and should therefore never cease
to be gratefully commemorated. It
was so iu the ease of the widow's
mite, whose charity and self-denial
was immortalized by the Savior of
men.
If this bq sp, in the ordinary rou
tine and ministrations of life, how
much more so in the great trans
action of man’s redemption. “For
a good man some would even dare
to uie. But God commendcth His
love to us, iu that when we were
sinners Christ died for us.” “We
were not redeemed with silver and
gold,” but something unspeakably
more precious.
During this solemn season of the!
Christian year, the church calls tho!
people, “ from the rising of the sun '
to the going down of the same,” to
the commemoration of this great
event! Let her voico be heeded.
This Friday, which is tlie anni
versary of tho Savior’s crucifixion,
is called “ Good-Friday,” from the
blessed results that came to man
through the atoning sacrifice of the
Son of God ; who suffered nnd di
ed the just for tho unjust to make
atonement for the sius of a world
in revolt. From the first ages of
Christianity, it has boon more less
observed by tho followers of the
crucified Redeemer, by prayer and
fasting and nets of self denial.
jfv.yTho tenth annual session of
tbo Georgia State Sunday School
Association, will be held in Angus- j
ta on Wednesday the 2nd day of j
May. Fuller notice next week.
i;il,i. Alt I* ON HARMONY.
Harmony is a good thing. When
m vacancy occurs in u high office,
it is a good thing for candidates to
harmonize. The people are glad to
see ’em harmonizing for Governor.
M ost all of us have politely got out
of Governor Boynton’s way, and wo
are likely to have no scramble. I
have frequently observed that when
a man don’t get much encourage
ment he becomes harmonious and
withdraws for the sake of peace.
That is right and it is sensible.
Discretion is a trump card. Bet
ter throw up your hand than to
play and lose. The people are
not going to turn out Boynton, for
they have got nothing against him.
Ho lias done nothing to be turned
out for. I don’t know that they
would have put him in as a regular
governor at the regular time, but
lie is in now. The accidents of
life have been in his favor and he
couldn’t help it, and the people
will risk him the balance of the
term. If he makes a good govern
or and gets somebody to govern
him in the executive mansion may
be the peoplo will keep him a while
longer, lint we must have exampb s
as well as precepts. The mansion
wasent bought to be run by proxy.
There are plenty of ladies willing
and waiting who would dignify and
adorn those beautiful halls and par
lors. Boynton is a mighty pretty
name, and Mrs. Governor Boynton
sounds both sweet and splendid.
—This year may well be called
the exhibition year. They are an
nounced to be held at Boston, Lou
isville, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chi
cago, and probably New Orleans ;
a show of Irish and other products
at Cork ; industrial show at Am
sterdam ; mineral exhibition at Ma
drid ; fish show at London. If it
bad not been for Atlanta’s success
ful exhibition last year.
—President Lincoln put the true
use of race-prejudice very correctly
when he said, “ It does not follow
because J do not want, a Negro wo
man for my slave that I do want
her for my wife.”
—Alexander 11. Stephens, in a
letter to Mr. Howard Carroll, of
New York, written shortly before
be set out on his last fatal journey
to Savannah, stated that the gen
tleman who aided him with funds
to get an education to go through
college were Messrs. Mills and
Williams, connected with the Sun
day school that he attended, and
Alexander Hamilton Webster, a
minister of the Presbyterian faith,
whose memory Mr. Stephens said
he cherished and after whom he
calii'd himself Hamilton. After
his graduation Mr. Stephens took
care to return to his good friends
the money which they had advanc
ed to him.

This is to certify that I have tried the
Hancock Plow nnd think it to be a good
Plow from what I Imve tried of it. I think
it the best running Plow 1 have ever used.
I used the one hotse Turner on the same
land, side by side, with two horse Syracuse
Plow, and think il did equally as good
work, ns the two horse Syracuse did. I
have taken a plantation right. I Imve also
tried the Hancock two In rse plow, furrow by
furrow with the Iwo horse Syracuse Plow,
and think it did its work just as good, and
w ith ns much case to man and horse ns the
Syracuse Plow did. and at a great deal less
expense, and less liable to be broken, and
much easier to bundle.

w ith the best, Syracuse two horse Plow, and ]
the work was equally ns good as the Syra
