Mr. Editor.—You fellows are in
lock above ns. Good for Judge C. F.
Crisp, and C. B. Hudson, Esq. The
election of the first as Judge of the
Southwestern circuit, and of the second
as Solicitor General, meets with un
qualified approbation among all classes
of oar people. As a townsman of for
mer days we like to see Americas
lustrated,” and the Legislature has
"gone and done it.” But what shall 1
say of the defeated candidates—much
little—shall I with weeping eyes co
dole with them, and say to each bold
np! for another and a better time, or
shall I apply to each of that vast anny
of office seekers in its application, the
story of Faddy and his Protestant cow
I will tell it as it was told to me: "Pad
dy Murphy and his wife Bridget, after
many years of hard labor in ditching
and washing, had accumulated a suf
ficiency to purchase a cow, which they
did at the first opportunity. As it wat
bought of a Protestant neighbor, Pad
dy stopped on his way borne at the
house of a Priest, and procured a bottle
of holy water with which to exorcise
the false faith out of her.
“Isn't Bhe a foine creature,” asked
Pat of the admiring Bridget. “Jest
hold her till I fix the shed.”
To save the precious fluid from harm
he took it into the house and set it up
in a cupboard until he had fixed thiugs.
Then be retained and bronght the
bottle ont again, and while Bridget was
holding the rope, proceeded to pour it
upon her back.
But poor Paddy had made a flight
mistake. Standing within the same
closet was a bottle of aquofortea that
had been procured for a far different
purpose, and as it dropped upon the
back of the poor cow, and the hair be
gan to smoke, and tbe flesh burn, she
exhibited decided appearances of rest
lessness.
Pour on more, Paddy,” shouted
Bridget, as Bhe tugged at the rope.
"I’ll give her enough now, said Pad
dy and he emptied the bottle.
Up went the heels of the cow, down
went her head, and over went Bridget
and hall a dozen of the "childers,” and
away dashed the infuriated cow down
the street, to the terror of all the moth-
s and the delight of the dogs.
Poor Paddy stood for a moment
breathless with astonishment and then
clapping his hands npon his hips, look
ed sorrowfully, and exclaimed:
"Be jabers Bridget, but isn’t tbe
Protestant strong in her the baste.”
Now make the application.
An English tourist who visited this
country a few years ago, remarked that
the taste of the American people ran in
very singular channel, "for. said he,
'your fences and even some of your
houses are pasted over with a notice of
‘care all.’ ” This remark of the
English traveller was very forcibly
brought to my recollection upon seeing
pasted npon the fence in front of one of
the residences in a neighboring city,
these delectable (?) letters: 8. 8. 8.
Sold by all druggists, upon a black and
white ground. We call the attention
of all lovers of the esthetic (?) to this
notice.
We are making ready for onr Muni
cipal election, which takes place on the
8tli of next month. Both of the candi

LETTER FROM UOHEE MILgL.
Ucnxn Mills, Ga., Nov. 21,1880.
Editor Returlicar—I noticed your edito
rial which appeared in yoar valuable W**e-
of 12th instant, relative to the 8olid
Sooth and.have waited very patiently for thi
past week expecting to sec na anbisaed, on-
prejudiced solution of the national question,
so fsr as national politics concerns ths South,
but I was doomed to disappoints:eat. Why
k it that ths sage saws of our day will not
t to solve such important questions?
I have not been in politics long enough to
hnvo any experience whatever; but common
sene* ought to tench any sane man that tha
great “Solid South” has worked the destruc
tion of tke Democratic party and formed i
‘Solid North” in connection with a semi
solid Erat and West, I fully concur with you
in breaking np ths Solid 8onth, and I
ths majority is standing in the tarns
from ths simple fact, that there is nothing
else left for us to do. One neat fanlt of the
Democratic leaders has been, they have e<
tided too much in our Northern brethi
thereby suffering themselves swindled out
their rights by feigned friends. It is al
most too late now to attempt to remedy the
evil, that is to undertake to break up tbe
“Solid Sonth,” if it had been done four years
since, or if it had never been boasted of, we,
the Southern Democracy, would have been
masters of the situation instead of occupy
ing a position of servility. Again, since the
election I have heard mtny prominent
er that they would, in the futnre,
port the Republican ticket; tkese arc
who were born and christened Democrats,
they were not, or rather are not. proselyted,
bnt old “Charter” members. Many others
say they care not who is the President so
the laws of the country are enforced, that
aseertion indicates a spirit of much carelt
ness and disloyalty. Hate* I consider the
“Solid South” already broken, upand a thor
ough reconstruction of the parly as being
eminently necessary. The very popular sen.
timent that it afloat, that we ought to in
struct our electors to elect Garfield unani
mously is to my opinion, one of the gravest
insults that has been offered us since the
close of the war notwithstanding the rumor
of Wade Hampton,* and other great men’s
advocacy of that very humiliating act. I,
and every other man who has a spark of the
of liberty and independence remain-
till xealously oppose any such an out •
rage upon ths party to whieh we belong.
The Solid South is virtually broken up and
I for one thank the Allwise Creator for it.
iow 1st us surviving Democrats, lay the
idation of another party, upon the same
principles of the on* that has just capitula
ted and been wiped out of existence, ad-
hearing strictly, as we have always done, to
nstitution of our forefathers. Let ns
maintain all 8tat* government, and send no
delegates to the National Nominating Con-
ions, let the North, West and East de
in# the candidates then we, the South,
join either we ehooee, East, North or
West. If this is not a good method, we

LETTER FROM LEE.
Mr. Editor.—Our Superior Court
convened Monday morning Judge O.
F. Crisp presiding. His charge to the
Grand Jury was able and exhaustive.
It is quite a fine body of men, being
composed of some of the best citizens of
the county. Wm. C. Gill is the fore
man. The most important matters
that claims its attention is the killing
of I. P. Tison by J. D. Callaway, and
they have just found a true bill for
murder against him. I cannot say when
he will be tried, not this court perhapi
Judge Crisp thinks of holding an at
journed term, as he will be compelled
to go to Macon county to hold conrt
next week, if so in all probability he
will be tried then.
In attendance upon court, the usual
bar is here, except judge D. A. Vason,
who is providentially hindered having
received an injury a few days ago.
Col. Ilawkins who has been so long
absent is here upon his cratches, and
his cases are being disposed of rapidly
possible. As yet only a few cases
have been submitted to juries aud
though quite a number have been dis
posed of either finally or for the term.
A yonng applicant named Gross
examined in open court and admitted
to the bar. He was a student of Mr.
B. P. Hollis of your city and his exam
ination was exceedingly creditable both
to himself and preceptor.
Besides the bar and other people,
terested in the court. Col. C.
Hancock, and Mr, Callaway are in
tendance, each representing his respec
tive paper. May both papers live and
flourish and spread their benign influ
ence npon all around.
I regret to learn of the condition of
Mr. D. P. Jackson, of this community,
and perhaps before this reaches you he
will be dead. He has been ill for sev
eral days of inflammation cf the brain.
It is to be hoped that be may recover.
At this writing onr criminal docket
is not been reached, and perhaps will
it be nntil to-morrow, there are sev

and then those on bond will be taken

Whereas, death for the first time has en
tered our “Club” and taken for hit victii
ir worthy friend and member Miss Flor
cDosald, and carried her to that “bourn
om whence no traveler returns.” God i
ie course of His Divine Providence ha
ten fit to remove by death from our Clul
tr dearly beloved Floba, Oh, the name of
Floba recalls recollections fond aud deai
'hich, “like tbe mellow rays of the setting
nn sink sadly, yet sweetly upon the soul.
Endowed with a bright and cultivated in-
rllect, a warm and generous heart, she wa
ready to comply with the laws of reason
While our hearts are saddened by the fac
that the old home will never again echo to thi
tread of her footstep, nor onr Club be bright
ened and cheered by her presence; still »
are animated at the thought th* brok<
circle will reuaite in “th# bright forever
for we feel that the God who gave and hath
e assured that this our great loss is
Therefore be it
Retoletd. That while we sorrow for her
no more, we extend to the bereaved relatr
out condolence and sympathy, knowing that
her vacant place cannot be filled.
Dear Floba thon art mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening.
When it floats among the trees.
Dearest member thou hast left us.
Here thy loes we deeply feel.
But ’tis God that hath bereft us.
He can all our sorrows beat
Yet again we hope to meet thee.
When the day of lifo has fled.
Then in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
