Swallowing-a Man.
JohK Thomas was a h*an ot keen
wit, aiul strongly tincturefi whh a
lovb ot ltumorous. He had been
down to Concord, and had seen the
Fakir of Ava perform his wonderful
tricks cf legerdjtriaia lie was rela
ting Ids experience in the barroom
of the Conway House, and among
other tilings declared that he had gain
ed an insight into many of the magi,
cions’ manipulations, and that several
of the most wonderful tricks lie could
perform himself.
“For instance,” sai.l >•;. , ca „ 3iVa j.
low a man whole,”
“Bah !” cried Tom Staples, a red
faced woodsman, weighing at least
two hundred ; p’liaps you could swal
-1 nv me V
“Yes.”
“I’d like to see you do it.”
“I can do it.”
‘Til hot you fifty dollars you can’t ’’
“Til take the bet,”
“Then let’s See you begin*’
“Not now. I have just eaten my
supper. I will do it to-morrow morn
ing, in the presence of as many wit
nesses as you may choose 1 and it
shall be done in the square in front cf
the hotel.”-
This waA agreed to and the hioimy
was ’nit up. By tlie following morn
ing the news that John Thomas v. .
to swallow Tom Staples whole had
become wide-spread, and a vast con
course, entbraciag men, women and
chiMren, had Assembled to witness
the we.nlerfal lbat.
At the appointed time tho chief ac
tors appeared in the squire. John
Thomas was smiling confidently as
though sure of success, while Tom
Sta : le3 looked a little timid and un
easy, as though not quite at rest con
cerning wllat was to become of him.
“Are you ready ?” asked John.
“Already,” answered Tom. “Be
gin as soon as you please.”
“Will you have the goodness to
take off 3 our lmt ?”
‘“Sartin.”
“Now your boots-.”
Tom removed his boots.
“Next you will weinove you Coat-.
Those big brass buttons might stick
in my throat.”
Tom took off his coat, and as he
threw it upon the ground one of the
cooks came out from the hotel with
a pail of melted lard and a big white
wash brush, which he deposited by
the side of John Thomas.
“Now,” pursued John, “you will
take off your stockings, and then re
move your pantaloons and shirt.”
“Eh ! d'ye mean for mo to strip
stark naked ?” queried Tom, aghast.
“Os course I do. The agreement
was that I should swallow you. You
are meat, but votir cloths are not, nor
were they in the bond. It you will
strip I will give you a thorough greas
ing, and double the bet if you wish. 1
know I can swallow you—or, at all
events I can try ! ’
Tom gave up the bet and invited
his friends in to the hotel.

CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 4, 1872.
Hon. L. N. Trammell;
■
The papers’ have been talking about
some testimony of Frost, taken by
j the bond Committee, to the effect
that money was paid by the Bruns
v\ ick and Albany Railroad Company
to two Trammells to help pass one ot
the bills giving State aid to that road.
Ihe matter lias been commented on
in connection with Hon. L. N. Tram
mell, President ot the Senate. The
committee has also been arraigned
for suppressing the testimony.
Mr. Trammell is out m a card in
which he shows that there was no
suppression of testimony. The com
mittee did not consider the testimony
ns relevant and did not therefore pub
lish it. He further states that before
ue was elected a Senator, he took A
fee from the road, a fact that lie lias
never denied or concealed, or that he
considered wrong. He further calls
attention to the fact that his resolute
lv making the compariy pay his fee
and his appointment- of the best men
to investigate the affairs of the road
may have induced Frost’s testimony
against him As President of the
Senate lie had spared no effort to
diove home the fullest investigation
iue Bullock frauds, including the
Tjnraswiyk and Albany Railroaci
r
swindle His transactions as a pri
' ate otli/ien before lie was a Senator
have nothing to do with bis Senatori
til record, to which he challenges at
tack, and justly.
As to whether his action in taking
the fee was wrong he is prepared to
vindicate it by testimony. —Atlanta

A Very Strict Judge. —Old Otse
go county boasts a justice of the peace
who flashes out in the annals of of lo
cal fame as arraigning himself for a j
delinquency. The justice of the :
peace referred to (no matter about his j
name or where he belongs) possesses j
excellent attributes of integrity,
°biliiv, °..i! -rr.rth, but on one occas
ion be forgot bis majisterial integrity.
He let dawn in a weak moment the
judicial bars which should hedge him
i:i and roamed into the field of Bac
chus-. In short in a recent occasion
be imbibed U*.> much strong driuk
and in consequence awoke with a re
alizing sense of that fact the next
morning. Now here wai .rpretty go.
A justice of the peace had been on a
bender, or part of one. A man who was
appoint.d to awing the flail of j istice
oYer the head; of poor unfortunate
fellows wandering over into the wrong
pasture himself. But there it was.
He felt reminders of it in the occas
ional throbs of headache. But what
was to be done ? The more he view
cd it the more he became disgusted
wbk himself. He made up bis mind.
He would attend to his case. He
would vindicate ihe outraged law.
■So* vA the usual hour he entered his
offieC. He formerly opened court,
and then he called his own name as
defendant in a suit in which “the peo
ple” -Charged him with an offence
against the law, went over the oir
cumstances in detail so far as he could
remember them, read “the statutes
in such cases made and* provided,
and then asked the “prisoner what he
had to say.” In the role of prisoner
he pleaded guilty *o Alb offbnCe, said
it was a shame far a man of his years
and position, but hoped "the Court
would not he too severe on him, as he
was determined to reform.” “The
prisoner vri*~ stand iqa” said the stern
old justice. Then the prisoner rose.
“Now, said the justice, “I am very
sorry you hA’ve been brought info this
c ourt on a charge which so seriously
affects your good name and standing
iii society $ .you have set a bad exam"
pie and if you go on at this rate you
will bring sorrow and disgrace on
yourself and family. I sentence you
to pay a fine of' £l(3 and cost, or thir
ty days imprisonment in the county
jail?" The “prisoner” said he prefer
ed to pay the fine—and then the court
closed. He walked over to the poor
master ot the town and paid the $lO.

EssT 1 Gen. Grant’s financial Secreta
ry, Boutwell, expectorated his venom
towards the South by “protesting,”
in a North Carolina speech, against
“ clasping hands across the bloody
chasm ; ” and now comes Grant’s Sen
atorial henchman, Morton, who closed
a speech at Rushville, Indiana, a few
davs ago, by calling for three cheers
lor the following atrocious sentiment:
“ That the rebel soldiers, who
fomdit a grain st our country shall never
occupy the same proud position be
foie the country, as that which is oc
cupied by the loyal soldiers.’ [En
thusiastic applause.]

Bear Sir : d\ e would thank you to
keep your Grant documents to vour
seif. We are not so unstable as to be
go\ ei ned by them. YY e read for our
selves and know too well the history
of Air. Grant to be influenced by any
thing you could send us, and we
would have you to understand that
we have noticed aft of your votes and
speeches chat you have made and cast
in Congress, and we wish you to mark
out one that has anything good for the
Southern people ? They are all cal
ciliated to grind the Southern people
to powder.
Bid you or not, try to defend Gov.
Bullock ? We have your speech to
that effect. Bid you, or not, vote for
the lvu Ivlux bill to take lip people
and punish then! without law or jury 1 ?
V es, sir. we would here say to you,
nothing you co*ld do, would have any
influence on us, and we will furthur
say that we want no better evidence
ot being right, than to know that wfe
are in opposition to you. So if you are
for Grant set us all down for Greeley
in the path or out of it, and remember
that we have a great many reasons
why we would not support J. S. Big

How Politicians Work It. —At a
political meeting, the speaker and au
dience were very much disturbed by
a man who constantly called for Mr.
Henry. When anew speaker came
on, this man bawled out “Mr. Henry,
Henry, Henry ! I call for Mr. Hen
-11
ry.
After several interruptions of this
kind at each *q>eech, a young man
ascended the platform and was soon
airing his eloquence in a magniloquent
style, striking out powerfully in his
gestures, when the old cry was heard
for Mr. Henry.
Putting his hands to his mouth like
a speaking trumpet, this man was
bawling out at the top of bis
“Mr. Henry! Henry! Henry! I call
for Mr. Henry to make a speech.”
The chairman now rose, and re
marked that it would oblige the au
dience if the gentleman refrain
from any further calling for Mr. Henry,
-as that gen tic man was now speaking.”
“ Is that Mr. Henry ! ” said the dis
turber of the meeting. “Thunder!
that can’t be Mr. Henry ! Why, that’s
the little cuss that told me to holler! ”
From the? Koine Commercial.
North and South Railroad Bond?.
Last Thursday morning the follow
ing item, taken from an exchange*
was published in the Commercial :
'‘Railroad Bonds Attached
One hundred aifd ninety thousand
dollars worth of the first mortgage *
bonds of the Georgia North and South
Railroad Company, of which AY. A.
McDougald is President, have been
attached in the Supreme Court
New York, at tlm suit of A. C Schaf
fer, for non fulfillment cf contract.”
AVe are glad to know that the item
has no other foundation than given
below in the -communication from
Major Burns* The item was taken
from An Augusta paper, and was re
published simply as a news item, and
without intention to reffcet, in any
wav, tlrt? management of the
North And. South Road :
JEds. Commercial : A"on make a
mistake in your paper this morning
which is liable to mislead, and there
by do a positive injury to the North
and South Railroad. In regard to the
law suit that you say is pending in
New York, allow me to give you
the facts: Sometime last spring a man
named Schaffer applied to the Presi
dent and Secretary of the North and
South Railroad for the agency in ne
gotiating bonds of the Road when is
sued. After passing several letters,
we discovered that Schaffer was an
adveuturer, and we declined to give
him the agency. And, at tills point,
allow me to add that no bonds have
as yet been issued, mid will not be un
til the first section of twenty miles is
completed. But in order to be ready,
we have had two hundred and forty
thousand dollars of bonds executed,
but not one of them has been issued.
These bonds are in the hands of our
agent, Mr. Ford, and so soon as the
first section of twenty miles is com
pleted, will be put upon the market,
after the State’s endorsement. Mr.
Schaffer having failed in his efforts to
secure the agency of the Road de
manded $1,01)0 for services rendered,
which we refused to pay, as he never
was considered in any wav connected
with the Road. Failing to secure the
j black mail, which, under all the cir
cumstances, is nothing more nor less
than in order to aunoy us, he attached
the bonds that were being executed
in the hands of our agent. Mr. Schat
fer would gladly take anything he can
• get, but we do not propose to be rob
bed in that way, and while your ar
ticle would indicate soi We thing dread
ful, we simply say it does not amount
to a paper of pins.

Why the fiiouth Supports Gree
ley.
_
We alluded yesterday to the states'
manlike speech of R, M. T. Hudter,
of Y irginia, at the New York Grcelep
demon StiWticfn
YYe wish we had space for it all
It is a masterly effort. It strikes the
key note. The following extract tells
"hv the Southern people support Mr
Greeley. commend it to all of
our Democratic readers as well to
those who have announced for Gree
ley, as those who have not yet come !
up to the full measure' df public duty.
The fonder will find admirable justifi
cation of their course. The latter will
find unanswerable reason tor coming
into line with their brethren, on a pro
gramme that seeks the country’s
good.
“Ylore than seven years have elapsfed
since the war and the South absolutely
within their power has been ruled by
their will and still if she goes one
way it seems to be sufficient reason
for them to go another. Fellow cit
izens, the South supports (u’veley and
Brown upon the issue I have been
discussing. Os course, if elected they
will expect from them a pure govern
ment, some reform in the civil service,
and better regulation of the vast pat
ronage of the general goverment. be
yond these objects of general welfare
they expect nothing of which I ever
heard They look for nothing, so far
as I know their opinions of sectional
or exceptional good, but of such trails
cendent importance do they regard
the peace of the country and the local
self-government of the States, so fares
the Constitution provided, that they
willingly pass by the consideration of
all other subjects, highly interesting
as they may them. They wiT
not neglect the attainable for the unat
tainable, especially when they think
they have within their reach objects
of such importance as those I have
described. It used to be objected to
the South, and particularly my native
State, that they were not practical*
We have learned some wisdom i n
this regard. A more practical-and in
some respects a wiser people than the
whites of the South you will hardly
find in this or any other continent
It is more than two years since the
people of my own Stale, finding that
they must, either give up the right of j
self-government or adopt a Constitu ;
lion opposed iuinany respects to their j
interests, ‘their habits Slid spirit, Wise ■
ly adopted that Constitution and
placed its administration in the hands
of an stive of your own State. They
ißlve escaped Ihe debts and Other en
ormities practiced by carpet-bag gov
ernment, and their Governor has been
true not only to theirs but also to his
obligations to the General Govern
ment We sacrified much in the way
of interest ; something, too, in the
way of feeling, but we have saved j
more than we have lost; and now j
it by electing Greeley and Brown we j
can secure the peace of the country
and local self-government, as designed I
by the Constitution, we will certainly
aid in doing it. We will not sacrifice
certain goods because wo cannot at
tain all we desire. If any one wishes
to ascertain our motives for preferiug
Greeley to Grant, here they are, and
obvious enough. There is no cat in
the meal-tub—no reserved purpose
concealed from the world. Can any ,
man familiar with the history of \ ir j
ginia, or with the opinions and temper \
of her people, doubt where she would
I stand in a question of popular sover
eignty and the rights of self-govern
ment in the people 1 Proclaim where
you will that there is no danger to
I these rights, and you will find her
people rallying to the rescue. Let it
j be known that there is a question be
tween a republic and an empire the j
right of the many or the few to govl
eru and you will find there is life in I
the old land yet j on that politica
battle field you will hear her old slo
gan, “Sic Semper Tyranuis, as she
| stands with her heel uplifted-to stamp
out the life of despotism, and her arm
] thrown back to strike for the cause
of popular sovereignty. The South
lias niether sought nor taken any lead
in these questions. It is the Liberal
Republicans who have done so ; and
believing them to be right to this ex
tent, we follow them. We will aid to
elect their candidate, and if he is true
to his pledge he will fulfill his obliga
tions to us. We will claim nothing
from him to which he is uot pleged
or which does not flow legitimately as
a consaquence from these [Hedges nor
will we demand any violation of his
good faith or consistency

Cincinnati, September 21. —When
Mr. Oreeley arrived at Newport to
day, he spoke as follows :
( ittzcns of A eirport —There was a
time and that not many years ago*
\\ v hen I would not hjwe bct'n welcomed
;to the soil of Kentucky as 1 am to
day. There was a time wlit-n Kon
; tuekians did not think of me as they
now do and I believe it was because
they did not Understand nfa so well
as they now do, lor in old times I was
the humble though zealous friend ot
Kentucky's noblest statesman, Henry
Clay. I loved and trusted and fol
lowed that man for many years and
sore was my heart when news came
that our fondest anticipations were
blighted and he was not chosen Pres
ident. But what matters it. Thy
fame of Clay was worldwide, and he
is revered and loved by millions of his I
countryman and will be for genera !
tions to come. What matters it
whether he tilled one office or another j
or no office, the office does not make
. !
the man. It is men like these that
dignity and glorify the office. II
fconduded, many times I was told sis
teen or twenty years ago, “ you can
come down South and no body will
hurt you.” I said why should any
body hurt me. There was never a
: moment I wished ill to the South and
never sought lo do it harm. Why
should you tell me I will be protected in
the South. I have never been there
because my duties did not call me
there, but I was alwayscertain that no
gentleman of the South would lay
a hand on mo, and I don’t believe they
would let blackguards do it. They
were talking as it it were but charity
to let me pass through. That has
passed away fellow-citizens. You may
have been one ot the most effective
Confederate soldiers of the late strug
gle and you may travel all over this
country and I think no one, except
very low, vulgar people will offer you
any insult. I traveled to the further*
est of the South, to Texas, last yean
I was everywhere well received. I
I think every Northern man who went
South, minding his own business
and giving nobody cause of offence,
was treated, perhaps as Well as I was.
His person and property were just as
sacredly respected as mine were now.
Wc have opened up anew era in this
country. There was a time when it was
not so, when every Northern mar.
whatever his principles, could travel
through the South. Now they conic!
do SO; and lam glad of it. Think no
more K,i our triumph in the hte strug
gle. Let us rejoice to-day that these
trumphs have tended to produce
good to the whole American people.
There were actually men in the North
who believed, that when Lincoln was
assassinated that Southern people as
people rejoiced in that assassination*
I am sure it was not so, but there is
the black deed done and the whole
people suffered for it. It was for a
long time impossible to make a large [
portion of that class believe that the
assassination was not the work o»f the
whole Confederate people There
was injustico clone them through pre
jjudico and through passion. We
; must try to dispel that prejudice and
! passion. We must try to make the
j whole people free. The American !
i name is dear to all. Even in our
struggles we were friends—we did not
tear and rend each other, we did not
destroy prisoners. They were not
unjustly treated, but I really believe
the people on both sides meant to
treat them with humanity so far as
they could do so and when crudities

The Philosoblieii’s Stone. —The
eccentric but brilliant John Randolph
once rose suddenly; up in his seat in
the House of Representatives, and
screamed out at the top of his shrill
voice, “Mr. Speaker ! Mr. Speaker !
I have discovered the Philosopher’s
stone. It is—Pay as you go !” John
Randolph dropped many rich gems
from his mouth, but never a richer
one than that. “Pay as you go,” and
you need not dodge sheriffs and con
stables. “Pay as you go,” and you
can walk the streets with an erect
hack and a manly front, and have no
fear of those you meet, You won’t
have to cross the street to avoid a dun
or look intently into a shop window
in order not to see a creditor. “Pay
as you go,” and you can snap your
Auger at the world ; and when * you
laugh, it will tea hearty, honest one,
and not like the laugh of the poor
debtor, who looks around as though
he was in doubt whether the laugh
was not the property of his creditors,
and not included in articles“exeinpted
from attachment ” “Pay as you go,”
and you will meet smiling faces at
home —happy, cherry-cheeked, smil
ing children—a contented wife—a
cheerful hearth-stone. John Ran
doph was right It is the Philoso
pher’s stone.
