AMONG OTTR NEIGHBORS.
The Savannah News pretends to believe
that Ben Hill is preparing a speech in
which lie defends the doctrine of seces
sion. We dou’t believe the News thinks
any such thing. At least it would lo yery
inconsistent for it to think so, for it i3
■ow reviling Mr. Hill fora simple allusion
to secession, and that allusion wa3 to the
effect that he is and has always been op
posed to secession. The “leading daily”
sometimes overreaches itself.
Bob Harris, the Cairo editor of the
Thomasville Times, asks: “Who is it,
Russell oi johuslon, that rambles ‘among
our neighbors,’ in the Biinbridge Demo
crat ? Speak up, quickly'. We stand,
lanyard in hand, primer in place and we
want to know at whom to aim ourcolum-
biad.” Fire away, old borax, either of us
will do.
The attacks made on Mr. Hill by the
Savannah News do not reflect the senti
ments of the people of Georgia, and the
paper is making no friends by the opera
tion.
We didn’t know we were in arrears
with the Fort Valley Mirror. Sir Wil
liam is sending us his paper with X mark.
Henry McIntosh says the poet who
wrote “Morn awakes the world” had
probably never staid all night in a house
where there was a baby with the colic.
The Savannah News, a Southern paper,
disapproves Ben Hill's allusion to seces
sion in the debate on the Pension Bill,
and makes it a pretext for the most vile
insinuations against that gentlemen. The
New York World, a Northern paper, says,
while disapproving the entire debate, Ben
Hill’s reply to Hoar, in which secession
was alluded to, was just the answer that
should have been given.
Albany has a merchant whose boast it
is that he never reads the newspapers.—
He neither subscribes for nor advertises
in his local paper. His death is only' a
question of time
We are in receipt of a communication
from Albany, which we must decline to
publish for two reasons. First, the wri
ter forgot to give his proper name ; and,
second, its personal allusions to several
gentlemen, among them a prominent edi
tor, meets with our hearty disapproba
tion.
Because the chief editor of a paper ha3
•personal reasons for disliking a pu flic man,
is it proper that he should allow his ‘subs’
to villifv the said public man ? Savan
nah News vs Ben Htll.
The Thomasrille Times is four years
old. May it be a hundred before it dies.
Col.- Styles says the most “unpreten
tious” paper in Southwest Georgia is the
peer of the Democrat. That’s what we’ve
been saying all along—we’re all peers,not
even the News excepted.
We have invented a new machine which

The Athens papers do not seem to agree
with the Savannah News in its estimate
of Mr. Hill. The Watchman thinks his
“outside superserviceable friends?’ might
save themselves much trouble by leaving
Mr. Hill and his constituents to settle this
matter. The people he represents—or a
large majority of them—are 3,-itisfled with
his course, and insiders would exhibit be
coming modesty by waiting until his con
stituents find fault with him.”
The Georgian says: “He, like all great
men, who have gone before him, (foi even
the great are not infallible) may commit
errors, but for the sake of our self respect,
of our Southern pride and reputation, of
our honor and indeed all that is dear to
us a high-toned honorable and patriotic
people, let our own journals, our own
people, our own critics be the ’ast to find
fault, if ever they are so unpatriotic as to
become the censurers of our own Repre
sentatives iD Congress who possess the
Southern manhood, to arise amid that
cloud of sectional abuse which was lower
ed o’er us during the long days of our op
pression, and vindicate our honor, our
rights, and our constitutional liberties.
For ourselves, with all our heart, we
would say unto Mr. Hill, ‘lay on McDuff,’
etc.
Fort Valley Mirror: The man who made
the lying assault on Gov. Smith in the
New York TleraM, is ashamed to acknow
ledge who is his father.
And now they are having “pillow case
parties” in Georgia.
Mr. W. P. Burks, of Dougherty county,
is going into the sheep raising bnsiness.
The Thomasville Enterprise says that
the elegant mansion of Maj. J. J. Mash,
situated at Duncanville, twelve miles
south of that city, was burned between
twelve and two o’clock on Monday even
ing last. The origin of the fire is suppos
ed to have been accidental. The building
was perhaps one of the finest if not the
best in Thomas county, was of brick, and
cost when built between $12,009 and
$15,000.
A man out West who married a widow
has invented a device to cure her of
“eternally” praising her former husband.
Whenever she begins to descant on -Ins
noble qualities, this ingenious No. 2 mere
ly says, “Poor, dear man ! How I wish
he had not died !’’
Quitman Reporter: We are glad to
notice that the continued flow'of Guano
ha3 about ceased. If our planters have
an unfavorable season we will have times
next fall and winter which, will “ever be
remembered in the land.”
The Cuthbcrt Messenger slaps up a
splendid article on a ‘supper at the brick
yard.” **■ *
The Early County Mews says that it fa
vored the State road lease, but did not re
ceive any pay.
A little sou of Mr. J. C. Martin, of
Cuthbert, was run over by a wagon and
badly hurt one day last week.
The Cuthbert Messenger desires to know
how to pronoune{T“Schenck.” Hang the
pronunciation; call him skunk, and you’ll
hit it right.
The exciting scenes that followed the
Belknap exposures led to great excitement
and disorder in the House of Representa
tives, and the New York Bulletin thinks
there would have been blows but for ‘the
counsels of such men as Hoar, Kasson,
Hill of Georgia, and Lamar,” through
whose efforts all troubles of that nature
were averted.
The Free Press, of Savannah, is bow
published daily.
There will i>e no State Fair this year.
Miss Blakely an operative in the Quit-
man Factory, died last Monday.
Every contemptible little Ming that is
made at Ben Hill, by silly one-horse
newspapers, readily finds a place in the
Savannah News. Why not publish both
sides ?
And now Brooks county wants a Fair
too. We see no good reason why every
county should not have one.
The Thomasville papers mention the
murder of a Mr. Lane of Thomas county,
under peculiar circumstances. His body
was found in the woods in a high state
of decomposition.
Burglars are playing the very mischief
in Dougherty county. The News says
only two remedies exist—vigilance and
volleys, or law and limbo.
The Enterprise says that several new
residences are being erected in Camilla,
and that the town is moving on.
A little daughter of Mr. J. T. Owen, of
Camilla, fell and broke her arm one day
last week.
Things are getting warm and personal
around Camilla.
Thomasville is going to organize a
Young Men’s Democratic Club. That’s
business.
The Albany News says that saw mills
on the line of the B. & A. R. R. are near
ly all in operation now, and the business
is pretty good.
The News says Eugene Mitchell of Al
bany has added to the many comforts and
conveniences of his beautiful home a bil
liard table, around which both ladies and
gentlemen pass the evenings as pleasantly
as one can imagine.
That sprightly journal, Young America,
savs the first step toward heaven is to pay
the printer. We very much fear there
are a great many hereabouts who have
not taken the fiat step.

The Enterprise says that at the last Di
rector’s meeting of the Fair Association
the Spring Fair was discussed, and from
all reports it promises to be equal to any
ever held.
The offices of Clerk and Treasurer of
Dougherty sounty have been consolidat
ed.
Albany News: Some of our contempo
raries are bragging abou^rags^f-TInMol-
lowing shows what sort of bogs they raise
in the 14th District of Worth county: Mr.
• T. J. Harris killed one hog weighing 537
lbs; Mr. Win. Johnson, one of 417 lbs;
C’apt. J. M. Rouse, one of 400 lbs; W.W.
Hall, three 18 months old, 947, and one
of 11 months, 210 lbs. Who says Worth
county can’t raise its own bacon ?
Thomasvilie Enterprise: While in Cairo
last week we ascertained the amount of
bacon (approximately) soid there in 1875.
On our return we examined the report of
the A. & G. R. R. to see the amount of
cotton shipped from that station. On
making a little calculation it appears that
it took at least half the cotton to pay for
their bacon. What paid for the other
things ?
Cuthbert Messenger: On Monday,while
Merrideth McAfee, col., was cleaning out
an old well on Mr. Joe Reese’s place in
this city, about fifteen feet of dirt caved
and covered him. This happened abont
6 o'clock in the evening, andagood many
persons went to his rescue immediately,
and that night about one o’clock they got
him out dead.
Cuthbert Messenger: The Albany News
says those papers not employed to advo
cate the Joe Brown lease, were consider
ed not worth a cent. To which Russell
says: ‘The Bainbridge Democrat, then,
wasn't worth a cent.’ Why don’t the
News clear up the doubts, speak out
plain and tell the people how deep his
finger was in that little pie, so they may
knew how to estimate its advocacy of
men and measures in future *
Cuthbert Messenger: The Bainbridge
Demo.ckat has an article iu its last issue,
advocating a railroad to run from Talla
hassee Fla., to Eufaula, via Bainbridge,
and following the survey and utilizing
the grading of the Bainbridge, Cuthbert,
and Columbus road. The enterprise is
one of no little importance to Southwest
Georgia, and we would be glad to see it
under full headway. The question is
being agitated in Florida to give that peo
ple an oiflfiet for their fruits and vege
tables, and for direct communication with
the great We.st. The Democrat publishes
ths following letter on the subject, which
we commend to die careful consideration
of our people, and hope they VriH lake
hold of the matter with ouJc Florida
friends and endeaver to complete the road
as originally designed to Columbus. This
routs would be more advantageous to
Florida thau the other.

[Philadelphia Times.]
To the Editor of The Times:
One of the Philadelphia papers has been
pleased to publish my letter to Hon. B.
H- Hill, of Georgia, prefracing h thus:
“There Is a Woman living !n Philadelphia
who sympathizes with Hill, of Georgia,
in his tirade against the north for cruelty
to confederate prisoners.” My motive was
certainly misunderstood. My husband
and brother served the country in her
hour of need, and I rendered all the ser
vice in my power by attention to the sick
and wounded. Since the war it has been
my fortune to pass much time in the
south, and I feel sure, could the people
of the north know the southern people
better, the prejudice kept alive by ambi
tious politicians would be powerless long
er to distract our country. No brave man
follows fcis opponent after he has laid
down his arms and acknowledges himself
powerless, more particularly after he has
fought manfully. "When the skillful sur
geon has cut away a disaffected part he
uses all bis power to heal that wound for
the perservation of the body. So should
it be in this our centennial year. Ever}’
good American should use all means iu
his or her power to heal all wounds, there
by giving health and strength to our body
politic. I did give the flag back to Geor
gia. There was no other place for it, and
I would be very glad to see all our south
ern prodigals back and feasted in our
“Father’s House.”

[Baltimore Gazette.
We copy from the Macon Telegraph the
following important decision for the
Grangers: L was the agent of the
Direct Trade Union, a company incorpor
ated by the Legislature of Georgia, for
the purpose of direct trade to Europe.
The company deposited with said agent
$700, to be paid to W. for eleven bales of
cotton shipped by said company for W.
L failed to pay over said money on de
mand of said company. He was indicted
in Monroe Superior Court for larceny af
ter trust. The counsel of L moved to
quash the indictment, on the ground that
there was no such company; that the Leg
islature had no power to incorporate said
company, and that the act of incorpora
tion was unconstitutional. Judge Hall
held the ground well taken, and quashed
the indictment, on the ground that the
Legislature had no power to grant the
charter.
Grantism Defined.—The New York
Sun, which is the best newspaper on the
continent, and ought to be read every day
by every honest American, thus defines
Grant ism:
“Grantism is compounded of low greed,
obtuse moral sentiment, shoddy display,
the use of public office for private gain,
the rewarding of those who make you
presents by places of honor and trust, the
enriching of all your relatives at the ex
pense of the Government, the ignoring of
all the better public opinion, the concep
tion that high office is a reward and |not
an obligation imposed—in fine that the
Government is to be administered in the
•elfish interests of the Governors ana their
aggrandizement. It is an inovation which
does not seem to provoke admiration
either at home or abroad.”
Orville dt More Trouble.—The
Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun says: “Orville Grant and Mar
tin Cronin, Chief Engineer of the Fire
Department were fined in the Police Court
to-day for indulging in a horse-race on
Sunday. The former was required to
pay $20, while the latter got off with $1,
he having alleged that he was going to a
fire.” The brother of the President horse-
racing on the Sabbath! We fear Orville
is % hard. nut.
The following is published in the
New York Herald, over the signature
of W. B. Lowe : “Mj attention has
ju»t keen sailed to an article in jour
issue of the 25th ult., in which your
eorre pondent states that ‘W. B. Lowe,
a citizen of Georgia, was promised the
position of Treasurer of Georgia by
Governor Smith and told to go out and
make his hood, which he did, and the
appointment wae then given to anoth
er.’ This is untrue, for Gov. Smith
never made me any such promise. The
facts are that, in a conversation with
Governor Smith in regard to the Treas
urer. he said any gentleman applying
for the ofaee must demonstrate his abil
ity to give the surety when he.applied
by handing in the names of bis bonds
men, so that when he made appoint,
ment there would be no delay and no
mistake about the bond. In justice to
Governor Smith you will please publish
the above statement. 1 *

BaintriSge, Ga., March 1st, 1876—2m.
The Darien Gazette does not intend
to have its position on the Gubernato
rial question misunderstood, as witness
the following rather lively specimen
paragraphs sprinkled through its col
umns :
Smith has more friends now than ev
er before. The people are beginning to
appreciate bis honest administration of
the laws. Hurrah for our model Gov
ernor !
Do, somebody, trot out a few of
those startling developments in regard
to Smith’s administration. Wn have
been waiting a long time and we now
call for that grand and gigantio ring
exposure. Don’t keep us waiting any
longer, but tell ua all about Smith-and
the ring. Smith would like to be in
formed himself.
The New York Tribune publishes a
private letter from Liberia, which gives
a melancholy picture of the country.
There is, according to this, actually a
great pressure among the ruling negroes
to introduce slavery over ths aborigi-
i. The Grebo tribe of origisea, with
whom war recently broke out, are a
powerful tribe who have begun to feel
the effects of civilization, an active
Episcopal mi»sionJiaving been at work
among them, and who resent the unjust
treatment of the Liberian government.
The failure of the attempt, aud of all
attempts to colonize on their native
soil our African population, is rather a
sad commentary on the capacity of the
negro for self-government.
Fernando Wood is now the “Father of
the House,” having served in an earlier
Congress than any of his compeers. He
was first elected to the 27th Congress, in
1841, and served in the 27th, 28th, 40th,
42d, 43d, and is dow serving in the 44th.
Alex H. Stephens nearest approaches
Wood. He'was first elected to the 28th
Congress,, in 1843, and served in the 29th,
30th, 31st, 32d, 33d, 34th, and 85th Con
gresses, a period of fourteen years. After
a retirement ol the subsequent sixteen
years, he again appeared a member of the
43d Congress, and is now serving as a
member of the 44th. W. D. Kelley is
the longest continuous sitting member, he
having served from the 37th Congress to
the present.
John Adams had sonnd ideas oc a
good many matters besides war. His
administration was a model of Repub
lican plainness. This is a remark he
made on one occasion :
But let us take warning and give it
to our children. Whenever vanity and
gayety, a love of pomp and dress, fur
niture. equipage, buildings, great com
pany. expensive diversions and elegant
entertainments et the better of the
principles and judgments of men and
women, there is no knowing where they
will stop, nor into what evils," natural,
moral or political they will lead us.
