TOUCHED BOTTOM.
There never has been within our recol
lection such a stale of affairs as now ex
ists in the commercial community of
Southwestern Georgia. Men of the sound
est honesty, the strictest integrity, and the
highest character, have been forced to
succumb to the inevitable force of sur
rounding circumstances. Under our own
eye, we see men whose very names are
the synonym of every essential that go to
make tbe thorough business man, and
whose paper was considered gold—we see
them staggering under the pressure which
is bearing so many down the torrent of
ruin. Some of them will recover—we
hope all will.
There must be a cause for this general
crash. Yes, indeed ! Broken promises,
extravagance, bad crops, poor manage
ment, and utter inability in many cases
on the part of their customers to meet
their obligations, are some of the causes.
For years these merchants have been car
rying over a load of unbalanced accounts,
which instead of growing lighter have as
sumed herculean proportions, until a
mountain of so-called assets would not
yield a mole hill of solvent currency. We
daresay there is not a merchant in Bain-
bridge this day, who, if he could realize
ten cents in the dollar on these so-called
“assets,” but could satisfy all demands
against him. We tell you, readers, this
class have our sympathy—they have
fought against this thing like Spartans,
and they deserved to succeed.
Another cause for this panic is, there
arc too many consumers and too few pro
ducers. ^Too much vagabondism and too
little industry. To illustrate : Suppose
all the crops made in Decatur county were
turned into bread and meat and each and
every person in said county were to draw
rations therefrom. It would all be clean
ed up in three months.
Surely the bottom has been reached.
Jlay we not hope for a re bound ?
RETRENCHMENT
In another column will be found the
proceedings of a citizen’s meeting held in
this city last week, the object of which
is therein fully explained—Retrench
ment !
Yes, retrenchment is what we want,and
to do this a reduction in county expenses
is necessary. How shall we proceed f is
the question. How would this method
suit: Knock the County Court in the
head—enlarge the jurisdiction, if necessa
ry, of the Justice Court—relieve the jail
of its 27 prisoners which are costing the
county $13.50 per day, by compelling Su
perior Court Judges to hold their regular
terms—consolidate some of the county of
fices, and reduce the perquisites of those
retained—make litigants pay the costs
of court in cases where they are benefitted
—make defaulters disgorge or go to the
penitentiary—and, then, all hands go to
work and. stop growling
A CHANGE
The Thomasville Enterprise has lately
been disposed of by Major L. C. Bry
an, its veteran editor, and Messrs. W. E.
Davis & C P. Hanscll have become its
proprietors and editors. Maj. Bryan is
one of the ablest editors in the State, and
for the past twenty years has filled the
editorial chair with grace, dignity and
ability. To no one more than to him is
tbe now prosperous city of Thomasville
and county of Thomas indebted for their
r&pid growth and successful development.
His loss will be felt severely, notwithstand
ing his place is filled by able and energetic
successors.
To the new firm we tender our hand,
with gloves off, wishing them all manner
of success, and a bright and useful career
in their new field of labor.
A HORRIBLE MURDER-
Mr. John O. Perry, of Newton, Baker
county, tells us that on Monday Dight,
December 27, a Mr. Josh Musgrove of that
county was killed near the Chickasaw-
hatcbic creek ljy two negroes, one of whom
had been apprehended and was then in
jail. The body of Musgrove was found
in a horse-stable under a pile of manure.
The killing was done by striking him on
the head with an axe. It seems that Mus
grove had been mixed up with the negroes
in some cattle-stealing, and they fearing
that he would “peach" on them, killed
him. We believe, at the hist election M.
was a candidate for the Legislature on the
Republican ticket.
OEM W D BARNES.
We are glad to see the name of this
worthy gentleman and true patriot men
tioned for Governor of Florida. If we
lived in that State and was a delegate to
the Convention we would vote for him all
day, all night, and all the time. Florida
could not emerge from her political thrall-
dom under tbe lead of an abler or better
man.
Owing to a rush of legal and other ad
vertising matter, several prime articles
ere left over for want of space. Our fore
man is about completing an arrangement
whereby he will hang one or two columns
on the margin, and then this trouble will
he obviated.
THE DEMOCRAT FOR 1876-
Notwitbstanding the stringency of the
times, the scarcity of tnoney, and the
wholesale commercial and agricultural
failures on every hand, we have determin
ed to make The Bemocrat better the
present year than ever before. To do this
we have incurred additional expense,
which, in view of the alarming state of
things, must appear paradoxical. How
ever this may he, it strikes us that now, in
this crisis, is the time when the newspa
per can do the most good. Now, when
all interests are distracted, when men are
running to and fro, inquiring of one an
other what shall be done, it seems to us
that the press as a medium of communi
cation could never be in more demand; as
an organ of well-digested opinion never
more potent.
The present year will witness another
political campaign between the two great
parties of the country, now for the first
time since the war pretty evenly balanced.
In this issue The Democrat will be found
striving to uphold the side of justice and
of right. We shall advocate our political
belief upon the broad basis of moderation,
“with malice toward none but with char
ity for all,” feeling that the time of bitter
ness and strife has passed away, and that
the interests of the country demand an
era of practical good feeling, amity and
reconciliation.
This is, also, the Centennial Year of our
Nation, which will be celebrated by a
World’s Exposition at Philadelphia. One
hundred years ago this land of ours con
tained but the scanty population of 3,000,-
000, with limited resources, and contract
ed territory. To day we number nearly
40,000,000 of inhabitants, and our domain
extends from Canada to Mexico and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. In the collec
tion and publication of historical matter
incident to the present epoch, The Demo
crat will devote considerable attention.
And, lastly, we shall strive in every
possible manner to assist in bringing to
light the attractive features of our county,
open the way to immigration, and thus
help to enhance our prosperity. The me
chanical and local departments of The
Democrat will receive more attention,
we having employed more competent as
sistance in that quarter.
In conclusion, if the people will sustain
us, we will give them a weekly paper sec
ond to none, at least in this section of our
State.
THE STEAMER “BIG FOOT”
This large new steamer, of which we
have spoken before in these columns, was
at our wharf for the first time last Mon
day. She was built in Pittsburg, Pa., last
summer, for the Apalachicola, Flint and
Chattahoochee river trade, for which she
seems exceedingly well adapted. This
boat is owned by Col. S. P. Coker and
Capt. I. J. Williams of, Jackson county,
Florida, and Mr. S. H. Dickenson of our
own county. Her officers are I. J. Wil
liams, Captain ; John W. Pooser, Clerk ;
Jesse L. Williams, Engineer; R. L. Hill,
Mate and Pilot—as clever a set of gentle
men as ever floated upon our waters, even
in the palmy steamboat days of yore.
The “Big Foot” is 198 feet long, and of
nearly 400 tons burden. Her passenger
accommodations are equal to the best,
and she can entertain 40 people, fehe
draws less water than any boat on the
river, and hence will have decidedly the
advantage when the dry season begins.
The reason this boat was placed upon
the river was on account of the high freight
tariffs charged by the Central Line Steam
ers. We are not fully advised of their
rates but learn that they were onerous,
and bore with tremendous effect upon
those dependent on river transportation.
Now that the new boat is on the river and
in the trade, the Central Line of Steamers
have lowered freights to a merely nomi
nal figure, hoping thereby to force the
Big Foot off the river. Should the Cen
tral succeed, the people themselves will
be to blame. If they cannot resist the de
lusion and snare set for them under the
guise of “nominal freights,” they deserve
to bo forever after placed at the mercy of
all monopolies. .
Sustain your own boat, friends in Bain-
bridge, and along the river, and the period
will soon be at hand when no monopoly
will ever again hold sway upon our great
water high-ways.
It strikes us that both the Central and
Big Foot lines could agree upon a reasona
ble schedule and run on.
Interesting news is meagre this week ;
but just wait. Congress and the Legisla
ture will both be at work soon, and then
—why look out. and get The Democrat
uulv.
Let the Dogs Be Taxed-
It is stated that the dog-tax last year yield
ed the State of Tennessee the sum of $300,-
000, which will be used in remunerating
the owners of sheep for losses occasioned by
dogs, and if the tax is continued for four
years there will not be ten sheep killed in
the State in any one year.
With this statement before us, it is to be
hoped that Governor Kemper’s recommen
dation on this point will be aelad on by the
Legislature at an early day. The present
destruction of sheep in this State is a terri
ble tax on the farmers and a very serious
damage to the Commonwealth ; for intelli
gent farmers, men from the British Isles,
have in many cases been left to the tender
mercies of the innumerable curs which are
found in every county. Tax dogs, big and
little, blooded and mongrel, and then we
may become a wool-growing State.—biorfolk
Landmark. 1
Can’t our Georgia Legislators look into
this sheep-killing a few hours, and pass some
law for the relief of sheep-producers, while
they are eating goober peas and drawing $7
per day ?

Letter From Tennessee-
Soule Female College )
Murfreesboro, Ten. Dec. 19, j
Mr. Editor:
To-day's mail brought me the Demo
crat,for which please receive my thanks.
I regard your paper as a friend, coming
as it does at regular intervals, to cheer me
in our far off home among the hills of
Old Tennessee. I would it were in my
power to describe the beauties of this grand
and glorious country in the Summer—an
eden with its fruit, flowers, beautiful
scenery, and gorgeous sunsets ; and now
more beautiful still in its icy mantle and
snow-covered hills. It may be that com
ing as I do from a sunny clime, I appre
ciate more fully this winter scenery. But
it is grand. Each tree, bereft of leaves,
is incrusted in an icy case, the house-tops
whitened and each blade of grass and
evergreen snow-capped, glittering in sun
light, as thoueh covered with diamonds.
Our College still prospers, though you
all refuse us any pupils. I feci sure if the
people of Decatur knew what a home like,
comfortable, thorough school this is, we
would have some of your girls among us
—spite the cry “Hard Times.” I have
been an inmate of this College some time
and can say with truth that this Institution
is not a syllabub affair, fitting young ladies
for the ball room, and parlor alone—but a
practicable school, where girls may be
fitted for the duties and realities of life.
I am delighted with place, people and
school. It is rather cold and sometimes
when the wind whistles through the tree
tops and I see the ice and snow, I sigh for
the Sunny South, its balmy air and blaz
ing pine knots ; for spite our Artie beau
ties I would be happy indeed to spend
Christmas with you all—and shall think
of dear old Decatur very often. We have
a concert in prospect given by our Col
lege girls. It promises to ripen into a
grand affair ; of couse I think so as little
F. has a part in it
There are to be drives, dinners, and tea
drinkings,together with egg-noggs for the
young folks, and after new Year, a “leap
year party" is to be given by the ladies of
Murfreesboro—perhaps at. the College,
on account of our spacious parlors and
roomy halls. The ladies alone get up the
party, issue the invitations and call for
their respective beaux. I shall enjoy
without participating in the latter particu
lar, as being upon the old ladie’s list, I
would not venture to send my card,
when everybody knows the older a
man is, the more particular he is to wait
upon “sweet sixteen.” I will write
you abouBthe party, our Christmas set.
Wishing you all a merry Christmas, and
a happy New Year, I must close, mindful
of the fact, you always urge upon your
correspondents brief letters.
Truly Yours,
M. F. H.
The Trouble a Spiteful Woman
Caused in the Grant Cabinet.
In explanation of the allusion in a
Washington letter that one of General
Grant’s formet Cabinet ministers had been
forced to resign because of scandalous
anonymous letters written by his wife,
the New York Sun gives these particu
lars :
“The Cabinet officer was George H.
Williams, tbeD Attorney General. As
long as he was guilty of nothing but the
lavish and even illegal use of the public
money, Messrs. Robeson, Fish and Bel knap
were quite willing that he should re
main in office as theirassociate ; but when
Mrs. Robeson got an anonymous lettei
full of unpleasant statements and sugges
tions, and when Mrs. Fish got another,
and Mrs. Belknap another, and Mrs. Gen.
eral Babcock another, then the very mis
chief was to pay. It was something they
could not stand ; and putting all the let
ters together, they came to the conclusion
that Mrs. Williams was their autlior.—
Then they went to Gen. Grant with the
thing. It was doubtless one of the most
painful moments the President had ever
known in his life, because he and Mrs.
Williams had always been very good
friends ; and yet the best of friends must
part, all on account of anonymous letters.
Mr. Williams’ public errors had only
seemed to make the offender dearer, but
anonymous letters written by a Cabinet
Minister’s wife, and a very handsome and
very clever lady, too, noted for the splen
dor of her entertainments and the brilliant
figure she made in Washington society,
constituted a fatal offense. And row the
proud and stately letter-writer is said to
be rusticating in Florida, and where Lan-
daulet. Williams is nobody cares. The
sea ndal of the personal attacks contained
in the letters on some of those to whom
they were addressed is said to have been
something truly startling of its kind.
The Columbus Enquirer refuses to be
lieve that meat for home consumption
cannot be introduced in the State. It il
lustrates the subject in this capital man
ner :
“This is all fudge,” remarked a pros
perous farmer yesterday. I raise an abund
ance, and I believe others can do the
same thing,” He added that before the
war stealing of hogs was almost as fre
quent as now ; that he had received many
a whipping from his father because he did
not watch'the hogs'and prevent others
from taking /them ; that farmers then took
old worthless negroes o- children, and
made them herdsmen, and they could get
responsible darkies now to do the same for
their food and clothing. This farmer has
always been well off, and was a four years
fighting man in a gallant confederate
regiment.
At this stage a poor man came up and
gave his experience. Last year he bought
a shoaVfor $6, fed it 16 bushels of corn
for which he paid $12.25, anti in addition
paid 50 cents for butchering—making the
total cost $19.05. The pig when killed
weighed 321 pounds net. He sold it for
ten cents a pound, the whole bringing
$32.10,which shows a net profit of $13.05.
That beats cotton which is sold for less
than it costs to produce.
The Georgia Legislature convenes next
Thursday, and the Democrat will endea
vor to have a correspondent in Atlanta,
who will keep our readers posted in re
gard to matters appertaining to our town
and county.

THE WEEKLY SUM;
1876-
NEW YORK.
1876-
Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year. It is also the year in
which an Opposition House of Represen
tatives, the first since the war, will be in
power at Washington; and the year of the
twenty-third election of a President of the
United States. All of these events are
sure to be ot great interest and importance,
especially tbe two latter ; and all of them
and everything connected with them will
be fully and freshly reported and expound
ed in Tub Sun.
The Opposition House of Representa
tives, taking up the line of inquiry open
ed years ago by The Sun, will sternly
und diligently investigate the corruptions
and misdeeds of Grant’s administration ;
and will, it is to be hoped, lay the foun
dation for a new and better period in our
national history. Of ail this The Sun
will contain complete and accurate ac
counts, furnishing its readers with early
and trustworthy information upon these
absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it, will be mem
orable as deciding upon Grant’3 aspira
tions for a third term of power and plun
der, and still more as deciding who shall
be the candidate of the party of Reform,
and as electing that candidate. Concern
ing all these subjects, those who read The
Sun will have the constant means of be
ing thoroughly well informed.
The Weekly Sun, which has attained
circulation of over eighty thousand
copies, already has its readers in every
State and Territory, and we trust that the
year 1876 will see their numbers doubled.
It will continue to be a thorough newspa
per. All the general news of the day will
be found in it, condensed when unimpor
tant, at full leDgth when of moment; and
always, we trust, treated in a clear, inter
esting and instructive manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun
the best family newspaper in the world,
and we shall continue to give in its col
umns a large amount of miscellaneous
reading, such as stories, tales, poems,
scientific inteUigence and agricultural in
formation, for which we are not able to
make room in our daily edition. The ag
ricultural department especially is one of
its prominent features. The fashions are
also regularly reported in its columns ;
and so are the markets "of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages with
fifty-six broad columns is only $1.20 a
year, postage prepaid. As the price bare
ly repays the cost of the paper, no dis
count can be made from this rate to clubs,
agents, Postmasters, or anyone.
