The Weekly Democrat, BEN. E. RUSSELL, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY, APRIL-24, 1878. To the Patrons of the Democrat- To-day I assume the duties of Asso ciate Editor of The Democrat. It i» altogether unnecessary for me to greet you with a long-winded Salutatory, nam ing that whiefe I intend doing in future. I shall simply assure the readers of this paper that I expect to do all in* my payer—contributing cheerfully what lit tle tact and ability I may possess—to' assist Mr. Russell, its present able edi tor, in making The Democrat all that its patrons can or may expect. With these few preliminary remarks I enter "upon my duties. R. M. Johnston. A Monster Steamship. The Steamship CHy of Chester, jusf^ launched at Glasgow for the Liverpool, New York and Philadelphia line, it af ter the Great Eastern, the largest mer chant steamer in the world. Her dimen sions are: Length, 458 feet; breadth, 44 feet: depth,.extreme, 38.8 feet. The Homestead Law- People hereabouts are seemingly try ing to eut each other’s throats; since the recent Supreme Court decision. If something is not done to relieve the people, tliis part of the country is “gone up." The man, he he who he may, that helps the people out of this ordeal will be gratefully remembered in the future. The Murder of General Cknby- The treacherous murder of General Canby and his associates, by the Modoc Indians, while treating with them un der a flag of truce, has sent a thrill of horror throughout the nation. In this moment wo forget every wrong heap ed by Canby upon the people of the South, and only deplose his untimely end. The Government is taking slbps to exterminate the Indians, which after therir- atrocity, we consider but just retribution. Th^ State Printer. The Atlanta Herald announces that W. A. Hemphill, late State Printer, tried to gobble up about $7-000 from our embarrassed State Treasury, by an overcharge for work done. Well, as Hemphill’3 paper, the. Atlanta Constitu tion', has been foremost in exposing all thefts perpetrated, or attempted, upon the Treasury, we don’t know exactly what verdict- to write in the case; so let’s sing: •‘Vice is n monster of fearful mien,” etc. * A New Paper for Quitman. We have received the prospectus of The Independent, a new paper to be started in Quitman, Ga., at an early date, by J. C. Gallaber. If the publish er does all that he promises to do in the voluminous document before ns, the In dependent will be the largest paper in the State, aud its editor the smartest man in the country. We do not, how ever, question his ability to do wbat he Bays, and we wish his paper good luck. But, Quitman is a small village, and it already has a good paper, and wo fear the Independent will be a costly experi ment to its bold projector. The sub scription price of the Idependent is $2,00 per annum. The Atlantic & Great Western Canal It matters not what chimerical scheme may bo proposed, you will always find some designing politician and would- be great man jumping astride and try ing to make capital out of it. This ca nal business is all a humbug, but it is a pretty sweet song to the ear of North Georgians, and Governor Smith is sing ing it out in real operatic strains. ' We wish he had given us a little mu sic op the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad bill,* when it passed both houses of the Leg islature, instead of pocketing the notes transmitted to him. Look out folks! Smith will turn up, you bet, and claim all North Georgia as his, when a suc cessor to Norwood is to be elected. Mind what we say! and that *in our judgment is all there is in the eanal. It* will not float anything unless it floats Smith to the Senate of the United States. * • Sheffield, it is said, is about to give the world a greater benefactor than ^ atts. The price - of coal has been one of the great questions of the hour in England, and the probable exhaustion of the coal fields has made those inter ested in posterity very uncomfortable.

In the Event of a War of Eases. The recent tragic even at Colfax, Lo ossa no, demonstrates the utter impos sibility of the negro successfully stand ing against the white man on the field Of battle. Blinded by political preju dice, a defeated candidate for Sheriff of the parish,, gathers a body of over four hundred negroes, marches on the town of Colfax, and commits numerous depre dations. The negroes also fortify thgm- selves around the Court House, and are armed mostly with Enfield rifles. The whites becoming desperate gather 150 men together, armed with pistols and shot guns, who attaek«the negroes, and drive them into the building. They offer to treat, and show a flag of truce, a party of white men step forward, and are fired upon by the treacherous negroes The court houes is then charged and set on fire and as the luckless blacks attempt to escape they are shot down Between fifty and a hundred were killed. - At Camilla, iu this State, it was about the same way. The blacks came in with drums beating and colors flying, and were ready to gobble up the town but a few volleys from the whites put them to inglorious flight. And so it will ever be. The negro believes, in his ignorance, that his political prestige en dows him with personal conrage, hut when tested he finds bow sadly’ lie mistaken. As soldiers in the U.. S Army, when left to themselves, the ne gro troops were an inglorious failure and never could be made to-“stand fire” unless a line of glistening bayonets bristled in their rear. We saw that practically demonstrated at Petersburg on the 30tli of July, 1864, when the Confederate breastworks wereblowu up. The negroes were crowded into the “crater” by their Yankee friends only to perish. Thousands of them were hurled against the Confederate Ikies, and were slaughtered, for it was death to forward or retreat. And in tfle event of a war of races, the poor blacks would be exterminated for the Souther»whites nearly all have seen four years of soldier’s life, which would give them the advantage over the negro, even if he was not naturally so disqualified for such a conflict. Another Mill in a Year- If the deposits in the Eagle and Phoenix Savings Bank continue as largely as they have begun, a new mill will be erected in a year. Last Monday,-over $5,200 were re ceived. A party, who is thought vary poor, brought $1,600. This money has,heretofore laid hidden away. The deposits amount now to many thousand dollars; yet only a few weeks have elapsed since operations be gan.—Columbus Sun, We commend the above to the care ful 'consideration of our people. It demonstrates clearly, not' only the great benefits that will accrue from an aggre gation of capital, but that the apparent scarcity’ of money in this country, where we boast of the possession' .of so much honor and honesty, and so great a de sire to see our resources developed, is wholly attributable to the shameful want cf confidence between man and man. Shed from your brains the mean and contemptible idea that all bnt yourself are dishonest and can’t be trusted, and let all who have money put it in circu lation, and, our word for it, you will not only feel better • yourselves for having done so-, but you will then soon see every thing as accomplished facts that- you pretendingly wish for. The sordid,sel fish hoarder of money is unfit to live, but too mean to die. . We will say more on this subject hereafter. The Anniversary of Lincoln's Death. The super-loyal soul of Forney agoni ses that the anniversary of Lincoln’s death is not made a public holiday. In the columns of the Press he. says: Yesterday was the anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, “the Martyr^esident,” as we .are proud to call him. It is perhaps a reflection up on the American character that the oc casion was allowed to pass almost unan nounced and unnoticed. That he was .assassinated, and, in that respect enjoyed a fame that has not attached to other Presidents, is no rea son why the American people should in dulge in an annual funeral procession. And bceause Forney is proud to call Lincoln “the Martyr-President” it does not follow that everybody is to weep and howl on every returning April. Bet ter and greater men than Lincoln have been born, lived and died, and yet the world takes little note of either event in their carreers. It is do reflection upon the American people that they do not rattle the bones of the dead Lincoln.— Sav. Advertiser. negotiations with them. Their number is variously estimated at from sixty to two hundred. Assuming the smaller figure, it will take four million five hun dred thousand dollars to exterminate this remnant of savages. To some this will appear incredible, but to be satisfi ed that it is not. so wide of the mark as might appear, they have only to refer to the figures to see how many millions it has eost the Government in times past to carry oh hostilities in the fast nesses of an Indian eountry. The Cable from New York to Liver pool. Messrs. Henry Clews & Co. have; re ceived official notice from Messrs. Clews Habicbt & Co., tlieir London branch, that the subscriptions to the “Direct United States Cable Company” have all been subscribed for—the capital being £1.300,000 in 65,000 shares of £20 each. The shares have all been taken and the allotments made, so that the success of this enterprise is fully estab lished. The work will be pressed 'with dispatch, and the cable direct from Lon don to New York will be laid early in the coming summer.—AT. Y. Sun. The Quickest Yet. At tlie drill last night, • Stonewall Fire Company No. 4 ran one hundred yards and played through one hundred feet of hose in twenty-five seconds. The company will have to “git up and git” that beats No. 4.—Colum bus Sun. Who saw it done-? Gas is easier played than water, through 100 feet of hose, after a run of 100 yards, with an engine, in 25 seconds. [Communicated.] Mr. Editor:—Allow me through the columns of your paper to address a short communication to the friends of temper ance in and around Bainbridge. Pask this privilege, because I am persuaded that your roaders are the persons I de sire to reach. A person; that does niit take-, and read a newspaper these days especially his own county paper devoted to the general interest and intelligence of all of its. citizens, is too selfish to know his own interest, and too secluded, I fear, to do the cause of temperance any good. First, a word to the members of the old order of Good Templars. With the recent temperance movement to unite the different orders into one, called, The United Friends of Temper ance, the working members of Live Oak Lodge for good and suificient reasons have identified themselves; procured a new charter, Constitution, &c.. and have gone to work in earnest under the new title of Dickenson Council. We desire to say to those who have not been activej and personal in this movement, that we do not design to leave you out. We have done what we thought was host, and we want your approval—your hear ty eo-operation in thg Council and your influence in the walks of life. To re tain your membership and hold your place in the n«w Council, it is necessary for you to sign our’Constitution and sub mit to our By-Laws—many of you doubt less cannot attend regularly, but we urge you to come forward, and lose not your place in so good a cause. We are pleased- with the new ritual and thenew order of things generally,. Everything is working well and we are receiving new members at every weekly meeting. . Notwithstanding this, we hear of the •ad declension of tlie zeal and interest of some, and the actual falling away of others ;we are sad because of this,but not hopeless. Our cause is a good one, and its waning fortune should arouse every lover of order and good society, to per sonally enlist against the tide of evil. . We are pleased to see the ladies, ever ready in good cause, always present in our Council to assist and cheer us in the good work of reform. We meet every Tuesday night at S o’clock in the Court House. Come, brethren, of the old order, and renew your membership, and kindle afresh your zeal, upon our altars. Come, friends, take your stand against intemperance and bring, your friends to take the pledge of the United Friends of Temperance. • S. D. CLEMENTS. Death of a Young Drunkard. The last terrible case of death from drunkenness comes from Passaic county, New Jersey. ‘Nicholas Dorman, a boy of seven, was the victim. Mrs. Dor man, the mother, testified before the coroner’s inquest that the child had been drunk Qn previous occasions, and had been whipped for it. Nothing e mid, however, check bis propensity to in dulge in liquor. On the day. of his death he came home thoroughly intoxi cated. He had accompanied a boy of five years, who was sent to procure liquor for his mother and had obtained enough from him to satisfy his craving. He was put to bed, complained of pain, and tbe next day died. We read: The jury rendered' a verdict that Nicholas Dorman died from the effects of intoxicating liquor furnished by par ties unknown. Coroner Amiraux will place the papers in possession of the Grand Jury, and recommend that body to take some.action in cases where liq uors are furnished by dealers to young children. The Modoc “Job.” • The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: It is a matter of interest to know the probable cost of the campaign against the Modoes. Calculations have been made by various parties of large experi ence in Indian affairs, and the average arrived at is that it will take seventy- five-thousand dollars for f very male Mo doc. counting from tlx Logining of the A Prophecy About the Steamer At lantic. The Boston Times relates the follow ing incident of the lost Atlantic: When about mid ocean, a curious incident oc curred, which if true, as related to our reporter, is very unaccountable. Tbe steerage passengers say, that at about that point on the voyage two or three of the passengers declared, as if gjfted with the spirit of prophecy, that the ship and all on board would be lost. They kept repeating the' prediction, packed their earpet bags and went on deck to watch for chance passing ves sels, saying that they weregoing to leave her, as they ’ were sure she was doomed to destruction. The captain then inter vened, and locked them up as mad men, and when the prediction they had made in their supposed insanity received its fearful fulfillment, they, it is-said, per ished in confinement.
