TO THE PUBLIC.
Only a few weeks since we appeared
before the world as editors of tkat old
time honored journal, the Smrma Rr-
resueax. To-day we appear before
you^u having retired. We wish it
understood that in doing so, wa are ac
tuated by the slightest unkindaees
towards the proprietor, Ool. Hancock,
nor because we do not find the paper
all that we expected; aor yet again
because we have not met with tha kind
assurances of many friends. It is
solely because we find after giving tha
work a trial, that it would aeoeesarily
absorb more of our time from the
practice of our profession than we had
expected, or could afford to
"Only this and nothing more."
We earnestly ask our friends to
tinue their patronage, and sustain that
paper that for more than thirty years
has fought your battles and contribut
ed in a large measure to the develop
ment of your city and the surrounding
country.
Thanks for your kind support, and
hoping for Col. Hancock and his paper
long life, Respectfully,

It may be said that tbe State has con
fided this power to tbs bands of these
wise aad discreet persons, whose ad
ministration of the powers confined will
be just and impartial. We make no

them personally and lreely award to

It may be said that corporations

that when tbe litigation ends they

It is not necessary for us to say that
tbs juries of the country are not slow to

We think it bot just to say that in

Accompanying this advertisement
is a circular from Hon. R. U. Harde
man, State Treasurer, setting forth the
financial condition of tbe State, which
is as healthy as the most patriotic citi
zen could desire. In 1877 the bonded
debt oi Georgia was $10,944,aOO.Since
that time her indebtedness has been
reduced to $8,704,645, a decrease of
$1,939, 865. The assets of the State
to-day are more than her liabilities,
and if her property, including the
Wee tern and Atlantic road, were sold,
it would bring a sum ample to meet
all her obligations. The taxable prop
erty in the State is steadily increasing,
and is now $82,614,623 greater than i*
was five years ago, while the Constitu
tion forbids the increase of the public
debt, and provides that upon the sale
of any public property the proceeds
shall only be applied to the payment
of that debt.
The object in placing these new
bonds npon tbe market is to fond in
them the obligation of the State falling

amounting to about thres million dol

this detrimental ruling and for other
purposes, she has tried to get a rail
road direct to Florida through Houston,

enterprise had its course in the papers
and wound np in no road. Now the
notion is to ran a road east to Dublin,

good deal of talk abont it, and also
about the re-establishment of street

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Frees Our Regular Correspondent)
Washiuotox, D. 0., March 23, *85.
If actions speak louder than words,
Mr. Olevelaud is telling tbe office-seek
ers in quite audible tones to go home
aad wait for their country to call them
to public station, rather than to insist
seeking honors for themselves or
their cronies. Thus for the pressurei
of influence seems to have failed to
dictate a single important office. The
President is evidently csllous to en
treaty from interested parties, and snch
urgency is apt to do more harm than
good, ne very plainly disbelieves in
the feudal system in politics, and re
sents slate-making by delegation
infringement on the functions of the
exeenti ve. It is probable that we shall
hear'no more of meetings by congres
sional r-tate delegations to unite names
for recommendation. That scheme has
been tried pretty thoroughly,
be pat down as a failure.
It is amusing to observe the efforts
of democratic Senators to avoid office-
seekers at the Capitol. Every morn
ing at an early hoar the applicants for
senatorial influence to aid them in g
ting appointments begin to collect
the Senate chamber. By 11 o’clock
generally all the seats iu resr of the
chamber are occupied and the aisles
are thronged with anxious watchers.
Numerous questions ate pt
pages in regard to Senator So-and-So,
as to when he usually comes, by which
door he enters, etc. It is noticeable
of late that the democratic Senators,
with few exceptions, do not show
until after the Senate has been called
to order. At five urinates to twelve
Jim Christie makes the circuit of the
chamber, warning all, in his deep bass
voice, who are not entitled to the floor
to get out. As the crowds file ont the
men cast anxious glances back over
their shoulders, apparently still hoping
to catch sight of the Senator upon
whom their hopes of office rest. Bui
the Senators, thanks to the rales, ar<
protected from their hungry constitu
ents after the fall of the gavel calling
the body to order.
Department horses are not sheltered
by the civil service rales, and it has
been decided that they mnst go. Sec
retary Lamar, and Attorney General
Garland have both dispensed with the
horses and carriages provided by the
Government. Upon investigating the
President’s stables Col. Lsmont also
concluded that there were more horse a
kept there for the office use of the*
White Honse than wili be needed dar
ing the summer, and has therefore giv-
orders that all bat three shall be
turned in to the qnarteriaattera’s de
partment, where they belong. There
were originally seven office horses.
Daring Mr. Arthur’s administration
the White House stables
filled, as in addition to the seven
horses referred to, he kept ten hor6ei
his own expense, among them four big
bays, which were often drivi
hand. These Mr. Arthur left for the
of President Cleveland i
he might desire. President Cleveland
intends keeping bat two carriage horses
for his private use, and will shortly
purchase a suitable pair, bnt until the
ill continue to use those placed s
his disposal by Mr. Arthur.
The ex-President is receiving a con
snt round of attentions daring hi
stay at Secretary Frelinghnysen’
house. Mr. Arthur has dined with
8enator and Mrs. Engene Hale, with
Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Morgan, with the
Russian Minister and Madame de
Strove, and with Chief Jnatice
Mrs. Waite. Last Wednesday the
British Minister and Mrs. West
tertained him at a dinner to fourteen
guests.
The first formal reception of Presi
dent Cleveland last evening was a
brilliant and successful affair in every
way. At no time in the history of the
Fxecutive Mansion has it presented
more attractive appearance with U_
brightly illuminated and flower-deck
ed parlors, and handsomely dressed
legion of ladies who moved gracefully
about among the palms and floral
exotics that adorned the corridors and
filled every nook and corner of the par
lors.
It was rather interesting to see ex-
President Arthur passing in with oth
er guests to do homags to the office
which he held only a few weeks ago.
President Cleveland, as soon as he
•aw tbe ex-President, stepped forward
aad greeted him heartily, and Miss
Cleveland was no less warm and cor
dial in ber manners towards ber broth
er’s predecessor. Wherever be went
Mr. Arthur was followed bv the glances
of tha crowd of guests, and all seemed
to via with each other in most pleasing
evidences of regard.
It is whispered that Mrs. Manning
will be the social leader in the Cabinet
circle for several seasons. Mrs. Bay
ard is too much out of health to bear
tha fatigues and responsibilities and
must be often represented by her
daughter. Mrs. Manning is a woman
of fascinating presence, who poisesses
plenty of tact, a ready memory of faces
and names, and is socially inclined.
Indeed, I am told that her ambition,
rather than her husband’s, led him to
give np his bnsinsss in Albany for the
Cabinet position. Lr.xox.

C.C.C.—The Hot Springs Remedy,
Tbe originator of this medicine was
for years a practical chemist and drag-
gist in tbe city of Hot Springs, Ark.,
and after thousands of experiments,
which necessitated the expenditure of a
fortune, he at last discovered tbe meth
od of extracting tbe very"quinteesence’ r
of tbe disease-exterminsting and heal
ing properties of these waters, which is
now brought to the door of every inhab
itant of the Globe, in the form of O. O.

The procession,and he was followed by
the ladies and gentlemen who accom
panied him to tho city; then came his
staff and the military escort. As they
ascended tho platform tho thousands of
Georgians and others who had congre
gated to do honor to the occasion, arose
and cheered enthusiastically, The gov
ernor, Mr. Fitkin, Commissioner-Gen*
eral Morchead and Senator Davidson
oocupiod prominent seats on tho front
of the stand. The ladies weie
seated near them. The Mexican band
and the military had the up
per and back seats. As soon as order
restored, Acting Commissioner
Pratt introduced Mr. Pitkins, who wel
come-1 the Georgians to New Orleans.
He spoke in glowing terms of Georgia's
progress and public spirited enterprise.
He alluded to her phenomenal growth,
her great natural wealth, her military
order, her devotion to the cause of lib.
And her great men, and concluded by
sxtending, in the person of her Execu
tive and her people here assembled, a
warm reception to New Orleans, Mr.
Pratt introduced Hon. Jno. S. David-
jn, who responded to the address o*
elcomc and formerly tendered Geor
gia’s exhibit to the Board of Manage
ment of the exposition. If Georgians
have heretofore been proud of their State
they had that pride immensely increas
ed by Mr. Davidson’s splendid repre
sentation of the wonderful resources of
theEmpire State of the South. He show
ed that she produced almost every ag
ricultural production from the tropics
to the fruits of a Northern clime. They
still produce
Of maunfactnres. She possesses all
the minerals and nearly every variety
of wood. She has granite eno
build a city twice the size of Ni
leans, and she is rapidly developing
smaller industries. He explained the
constitntional provision that had pre
vented the State from making an ex
hibit worthy of her great resources, and
said: “While we cannot therefore
ter into competitive exhibit in this i
pect we can compete with you in
manhood of onr men, the beauty of
our women, or iu our earnestness for
the snccess of this great Exposition.
He hoped that the result of the E:
position would be to fully.'
And closed with the beautiful quota
tion “yon cannot tame tho eagle, and
you darn not halt the dove.”
The applause accorded Mr. Davidson
was a perfect ovation. Lovely bou
quets were thrown to him front all parti
of the hall, and the ten thousand peo
ple present yelled themselves hoarse.
His friend* gathered aronnd him and
congratulated him warmly, while
Georgians, who did not know him,
pressed forward for introductions and
for tho opportunity of thanking him
for tbe brave words he had spoken for
Georgia. But t! -»st gratifying of
the complin*' him came from
an lows e< nsnked him most
cordially ft _ utriotic sentiments,
Commissioner-General Morehead re
ceived the exhibits on tho part of the
management, and in doing so called at
tention to a matter that seems to havi
been forgotten. He said that it wai
the snccess of the Atlanta Exposition
that made this one possible, and the
inaugnration of that grand enterprise
yras doe to the public spirited Geor
gians. At tho close of these ceremo-
i, Governor McDaniel held
formal reception and the great crowd
dispersed. To-night a reception was
tendered Governor MeDaniel at the St,

Beware of Mercury and Potash,
Mercury is more destructive to ha-
an health and life than war, pesti
lence and famine combined, go said a
distinguished writer many years ago,
is true to-day as then. The
poor victim of blood disease is drugged
with Mercury to core the malady, and
then dosed with Iodides to cure him of
the Mcrcnrial Poisoning; bnt instead
of any relief, the first breaks down his
general health and makes him a crip
ple, and the other rains his digestive
organs. Mercury and Potash are dan
gerous even when administered by di
nd under the eye of a good
physician, and when put up in cos-
‘ten by incompetent persons,
i produce evil consequences.
Be carefnl of these poisonons mixtures

Inflametory Rheumatism,
I have been afflicted for nearly fonr-
en years with tho severest form of
inflamatory rheumatism. For a large
portion of the time was confined to bed.
and suffered the most excruciating pain,
my legs badly swollen. My case was
thonght incurable by the physicians,
aud I hare often hoped that death
would ensue and relieve tua of pain.
Last month I secured, at the suggestion
of a friend, one dozen bottles of Swift’s
Specific, and after using six bottles I
entirely free from pain, the first
time in nearly fourteen years. My
joints are becoming more snpple and
the swelling gone. I am ready to an
