THE FCTl'EE OF GEORGIA.
The lelegragh and Messenger say*:—
When the “ October .-un” of the 2nd
instant sank behind the old hills of
Georgia, it gilded their tops with the
mellow radiance of a glorious promise
for the future. It saw four years of
honest and responsible government se
cured to the people of this State, (white
and black) because it will be a govern
ment by the tax-payers of the State,
through their representatives, all act
ing under bond to give us a good gov
ernment—all elected by men intelli
gent enough to detect injustice, abuse
or waste, and under the strongest mo
tives to prevent them.
The property of a country is a
pledge to maintain order, public jus
tice and private security. Popular
disturbance is its bane. It seeks first
of all things the public tranquility, and
this cannot lx? maintained on any other
basis than impartial justice, sound
public economy—light and equal
burthens, and universal security to the
people.
This indispensable security for good
government, the negroes and the
few white fuglemen who' use, under
the pretence of leading them, could
not give, if they would do it. Their
administration of the government of
Georgia would have been without any
guaranty. It could not have been car
ried on without excitinsr the most sct-

somebody said for General Grant (he
never had the wit to say it himself),
that the Confederacy was “ robbing
the cradle and the grave to find sol
diers.” To recruit his army of ballot-
box stuffers, in making the election
after the pattern of the late Emperor
Napoleon, (whose footsteps he is fol
lowing into exile we trust)—General
Grant’s marshals are now recruiting
voters from the New York jail birds,
who own the sway of Jimmy O’Brien.
It is positively stated in the New
York journals thnt one thousand of
these have been sent to Philadelphia,
to “ vote early and vote often”—and
it is to lx? hoped they may find their
way out of one penitentiary iuto an
other. “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin* has al
so been invaded by the Grant Ku-
Klux, who have been sending them
into Indiana and Pennsylvania in
droves of one hundred and less, to the
infinite disgust of all decent men every
where, exposing the poor creatures to
the pains and penalties of the law.
This new slave dealing, which seeks to
sell the soul as well os the body of the
poor lreedman, whose ignorance makes
him an easy dupe, or whose necessities
tempt him to accept the bribe, is the
meanest and vilest thing these pretand-
ed protectors and friends of the liber
ated slave have yet done. It finds a
lower depth than even the carpet-bag
rascalities; for it comes from a higher
source—that fountain of bitter waters
—the Administration. Simon Came
ron, the right had man, and last depen
dence of Grant—a man expelled from
the U. S. Senate for corrupt practice»,
is the active administrator of this new
negro traffic in Pennsylvania; and
Morton of the U. S. Senate is their
negro-driver in Indiana. That such
villainies should be openly perpetrated
by United States Senators, with Presi
dential encouragement, and that tire
election may hinge on such vile frauds,
proves how low the public morals of
our people have sunk under the tlrree-
year’s rule of a military despot, who,
in the language of his present friend,
General Butler, “ has neither head
1 nor heart.”
But this is not all. Not satisfied
with robbing the slums of New York
of their jail-bijds, and the alleys of
Washington, Baltimore, and other
Southern cities of their idle negroes—
to swell the vote—the Administration
goes to procure a ehareeter for its can
didate in Pennsylvania—where? To
the penitentiary! whence Yerkes, the
convict, is taken out and pardoned,
that he may perjure himself by recant
ing his previous charges against Hat-
raft.
What then must be the moral ulcer
ation of a party, which gets its “ re
peaters” from the scum of other States
—and has to get a character from the
penitentiary!!! *

GFORGIA ITEMS,

The Springfield Republican says the
Conneticut River Railroad Company
tied mistrust on the part of the tax- j 3 a bo U t introducing for trial, a set of
payers, and it would have sunk into
the mere public squander of Bullock as
a stone sinks in water.
When, last Tuesday, it was settled
that the white tax-payers of Georgia
should retaiu control of this State four
years longer, doubtless tlio negroes re
ceived it as bad news, whereas, on the
contrary, it was really the best news
to them they could have heard in re
spect to the election. It secured to
them the same public order and per
sonal protection it secured to the
whites, while it practically delivered
then, from the rapacity of the white
and yellow rascals who delude and
plunder them.
But it did much more than that.—
The whites, assured of sound and hon
est government, will feel a new confi
dence to invest money in building,
manufi-cturing, farming and the like,
and this, in time, will call for large
expenditures in labor. Thus, although
the negroes did not and do not know
it, when Gov. Smith was re-elected
last Wednesday, the colored man’s
earnings by lalmr in the next four
years were largely increased.
We. hesitate not to say that, on the
other baud, the election of Dawson
Walker, with the assumption of the
Clews Bonds, and the rc-inauguration
of Bullock’s extravagance, would have
opened such a terrible prospect of ex
cessive taxation in Georgia, that pri
vate enterprise would have been re
pressed. The people would have de
sired rather to hide their possessions
away from taxation in intangible ns-
set", than tv have placed them in the
nstontAtiati? shops of buildings and
open business operations which afford
employment to the working man.
Thus, although many of tho negroes
deplore tho triumph of Governor
Kmith, as a had thing for them, it
was the best tiling for them which
could liavo happened; They will see
all their rights and interests protected
just as completely as those of the
whites. They will see the enterprise
and Industry of the State gain new
confidence mul activity, and find that
when business is active then is the
timo when they can get better prices
and make more money. Tho interests
of til#* whites and the negroes of Geor
gia are not antagonistic—-not even di-
vorse. They are the same—they run
in the «une channel; and those arc
most detestable demagogues who prac
tice on tho fears of the negroes by tell
ing them that the election ofGovernor
Smith is a bad thing for them. It is
a good thing for them, and so will
they find it in the next four years.
paper car wheels under the forward
trucks of one of its engines. These
wheels have been known to car build
ers for some time, but the demand for
them has been moderate on account of
their cast, notwithstanding the univer
sally-admitted fact that they are safe
and easy' going. The wheels are man
ufactured by bringing a pressure of
350 tons upon sheets of common straw
paper, which forces them into a com
pact mass, which is then turned per
fectly round and the hub forced into a
hole in the centre, this requiring a
pressure of twenty-five tons weight.—
The tire is of steel and has a one-quar
ter inch bevel upon its inner edge,
thus allowing the paper felling to be
forced in, 250 tons’ pressure being re
tired in the process. Two iron plates,
one upon each side of the paper are
bolted together, which prevents the
possibility of the fillings coming out—
The tire vests upon the paper only and
partakes of its elasticity in consequence.
Although theso wheels are much more
expensive than those in common use;
the patentee claims that they are cheap
er in the end, as they ware longer, in
jure the track less, and run with less
noise than the wheels of any other
pattern.
Jf.iiusaleji.—Jerusalem canuot lie
truthfully described as an enterprising
city at the present time. Its chief na
tive industries are the manufacture of
soap, which is not largely consumed by
the resident population, and of what
is called Jerusalem ware, consisting of
chaplets, crucifixes, beads, crosses, and
the like, made principally of mother-
of-pearltfiid olive wood, and sold to
tho pilgrims who annually resort to
the Holy City to the number of 6,000
or 8,000, It also e.\pou s olive oil and
grain, The population of Jerusalem
is estimated at 18,000, of whom about
8,000 are Mehometans, 8,000 to 9,000
Jews, and the rest Christians of vari-
ous denominations. The employment
of the people is almost wholly agricul
turnl and pastoral, bat the vast and
fertile plains around the city are only
partially tilled, owing to the want pf
protection against the predatory ex
cursions of the Bedouin tribes inhab
iting tbe outskirts of the district. A

that music would charm a snake, and

music. This was immediately follow
ed by another, until nine had appeared,

A funny scene took place at the

substantially admitted all the facts
stated by the Liberal newspapers, and
admitted that the stable was built
without authority of Congress, with
money appropriated for another dis
tinctive purpose, and wholly in viola
tion of law, and that its cost, exclusive
of site, which already' belonged to the
government, was over $27,000. It is
learned from the builder of the stable
that the President was fully informed
upon the matter, and indicated to the
architect the number of stalls which he
should require for his horses. There
is not in tills city' more than half a
dozen private houses which equal this
stable in point of architectural beauty
and cost.
The following ieu iTesprit, given by
the reporter of the Macon Telegraph,
is rather rich. In giving the proceed
ings of the Radical convention, held in
that city on Wednesday, which nomi
nated Lemuel B. Andrews for Con
gress, from the Sixth district, and
when the convention had finished the
business that brought it together, the
reporter says:
The convention then adjourned, sine
die, notwithstanding the lion. Mary

and wanted to know “ if de people ob
de State of Bibb was represented in de
motion, and who was sine die and how ?
He had never learned of that candi

Shakspeare has successively had to
sustain the character of a schoolmaster,
lawyer, soldier, sailor, farmer, sur
geon, and a dozen other trades and
professions, and has been proved satis
factorily to the minds of several
writers to have been well versed in
alchemy, botany', music, and all the
ologies. But it has remained for Mr.
Blades, the eminent Caxtonian, to
prove that Shakespeare was one of his
own craft—a printer. In the volume
just issued by Messrs. Trubner it is
cloaily shown that Shakspeare, when
he first arrived in London, called upon
his fellow-townsman, Field, who had
married the daughter of Vantrollier, a
printer, and had succeeded him in his
business. Here, then, Shakspeare, as
press reader or as a shopman, or as
both, remained for four years, and be
came master of the terms “ reprints,”
‘title-pages,” “preface,” “ typo,”
‘nonpareil,” “ broadside,” “ locking-
up,” “ register,” and “ printer’s devil,”
all of which are to be found in his
works.
A terrible murder and suicide occur
red on Thursday night at New Y’ork
avenue, Jersey City Heights. A
German named Michael Ghering,
known hv the police as a vicious char
acter, and keeper of a boarding-house,
was at cons'ant warfare with his wife.
On the alarm being given, the police
proceeded to the house, and found that
Ghering lmd killed his wife by blows
on the head and stabs, and afterward
cut his own throat with a butcher-
knife, almost severing the head from
the body.
At the time of the murder there
were six hoarders in the house. The
deceased had four children—three sons
and a daughter. Two were married,
and the others lived at home. Though
there were several poisons in the house
when the tragedy occurred, it was not
witnessed by any one.
It is supposed that Ghering went
into the kitchen after cutting his own
throat, as a large pool of blood was
found there. He wss found lying in
the same room with his wife, with his
feet under the table and his throat cut
from ear to car.
