An old farm-house wish meadors wide,
And sweet with clover on each side;
A biight-eyed boy who looks from out
The door with woodbine wreathed about,
And wishes, his one thought all day:
“Old if I could hut fly away
From this dull spot the world to see.
How happy, happy, happy,
llow happy I should be f f
Amid the city.s constant din,
A man who round the world has been,
AVho, ’mid the tumult and the throng,
Is thinking, thinking ali day long;
“Oh ! could I only tread once more
The field patli to the farm-hour es door,
The old green meador could I see,
llow happy, happy, happy,
How happy I bhould be.

(Special Correspondence Carroll Cos. Times.)
Letter from the State Capital.
Editor Times: —This city is quiet
notwithstanding we have been afflict
ed with spiritualists, clairvoyants and
such people in great numbers. The
immortal J. N. lias been here, though
tie has not “lifted it ” here yet. Dr.
Webster has been here and made sev
oral attempts either to tell what he
knows or to betray his ignorance, but
the people could not or would not see
it, and the Dr. departed. Madam De
Grnaf was here and I believe is here
yet. One of the common herd ol
fortune tellers. Mrs. Addie L. Ballou
has endeavored on several occasions to
enlighten the public mind on spiritual
ism and kindred subjects, with what
success Ido not know. There arc a
goodly number of professed spiritual
ist in this place, and the number is
said to be increasing. Our Superior
Oourt lias adjourned and criminals are
again beginning to ply their calling.
Our worthy town Justices however at
tended very promptly to their wants
wuen detected and kindly supply them
with bed and board at the public ex
pense. The Legislature is steadily
progressing with its labors and will
probably get through before very long.
The question now agitating that
body as well as the public most is
“shall the bonds declared illegal,
null and void at the last session of the
Legislature be paid ?” lam not ac
quainted with the tone of the Press
throughout the State on this moments
ous question, nor do I know the
opinions of many of our leading men
on it. The Ilerald of this city, takes a
bold and outspoken position against
their payment, while* the Sun and Con
stitution are more reticent. lion. B.
11. Hill’s view of the question is cer
tainly a novel one. He holds that
the State is qot bound tor one
dollar of the State debt contracted by
the Bullock government. lie reaches,
this conrlusinu by presuming that
Congress forced that government up
on us and as a consequence that the
Federal government is bound for the
debt. My own view of th s question
may not be worth reading but “such
as I have I give unto thee.” The
credit ot the State of Georgia is in
volved in this matter. Bullock was
the recognised agent and head of the
Slate government. lie was so recog
nised by the Federal government, by
all tlu; State governments and by our
own people. Bullock may have been
an evil, aye, Bullock was an evil, but
he to is our evil, elected or said to
have been elected by the voters of
Georgia. As such his acts were the
acts of the State and of the people of
the State, so long as he acted within
the channel of his legally defined pow
ers and duties. He may have stolen,
misspent and misapplied the public
money, if so that does not invalidate
the claims of any innocent holder of
Georgia’s securities, and innocent hol
ders if any such there be, ought to be
paid and must be paid to the last cent,
or we will suffer very materially in our
credit at home and abroad. The
claims of the holders of Georgia se
curities ought to be rigidly investi
gated and when there are any equis
ties in the holders favor he ought to
be paid. As tor those who bought
with notice, and are therefor, “parti
ceps Criminis,” I want them to remain
unpaid until the last trump shall have
sounded, and believe the financial
world will rejoice at the discomfiture
of the dishonest scoundrels. One thing
however is certain, money must be bad.
The new bonds don’t go off, the Treas
ury is almost or quite empty, and
even if Mr Nutting’s bill should be'-
come a law,the bonds therein provided
for, would not sell, if ever, at least not
until this bond muddle is got lid ot.
We must either show by irrefragable
proofs to the whole world that weaie
not equitable liable to any other hol
ders of these bonds for one cent, or
we must make arrangements to pay
these before we9a 11 get credit. What
say monied men ? Why they exclaim
it a Democratic administration
eiate the debt created by a Republican
administration, and we contract new
laws with the new administration,
will not the Republicas when they
come into power repudiate too ”
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 21, 1873.
It looks to me very much like a
man who is a miller and a shoe maker
both, refusing in his character of shoe
maker to pay debts contracted as-a
miller and vice versa. Individuals
"ho suffer their paper to go to pro
test, lose their credit in the commer
cial world and States cannot expect
to fare much better. Now if the ac
tion of the last Legislature was well
advised and was final, the present
Legislature ought not to have resurs
reeled the affair and got people to
thinking about it, They say the ghosts
of people who are murdered, will
revisit the earth continually, until
their murders are avenged, while those
who die natural ly T rest easy. But I
hope this simile is not applicable to
the question under discussion, and
therefore will not apply it.
Ihe city counsel of this city will
meet to-night to discuss the propo
sition of increasing the city’s subscrip
tion to the Georgia Western Rail-
Iload.
Campbell Wallace asks that it be ex
tended to a million dollars but I fear
the Council is unequal to the emer
gency and will fool along untill Savan
nnh will get the trade of your whole
section nf country via the S. G & N.
Ala,, and the Central Reads. llow
any fourteen men haying common
business sagacity, not to say sense,
can sit and play with their fingers
and refuse to do the only thincr in the
woild that can and will make cheap
manufactories a possibility here, is
more than I can see and yet I tear
this Council is going to act on exact
ly that line. To give your readers
an idea of the state of affairs then, I
need only say that rents have declined
one third and taxes increased one
third within the last twelve months.
The decline in rents show that people
are leaving here and as people leave
and houses are left vacant of course
building stops. Real estate too has
declined.
The other day a gentleman was
boasting of having sold a lot for sl,-*
800. Why John didn’t you pay 2500
for it, Oli ? yes but I bought it
when Kimball was here. Whatever
may be said of Kimball he had “go
ahead” in him ami that is the great
element which I hope our city conn
oil will exhibit in their action to night,
but I dout believe they will.

AnXJnedited Hotter of Cicero.
M. T. CICERO TO TIIE JURISCONSULT,
Trebonius, Greeting.
Taking advantage of a short vaca
tion which Pluto gave me, I hastened
to visit this Paris of which we hear
so much in the regions of the dead.
By Hercules ! I really thought myself
in Rome! Believe me, my dear Tre
bonius, these people are not barbari
ans. Were our Cesar to see them, tie
would scarcely recognise them. They
have borrowed our laws and civil ad
ministration. Their language is
nearly the same as ours, only they have
changed the inflection and the order
of the words. They have public
schools where they learn Latin as we
did Greek in ours. Their children
study our institutions before they do
their own ; and many of their teachers
who have never rea l one of their own
orators, know my Milo by heart ! In
deed, my dear Trebonius, yoa would
scarcely believe what efforts these ex
cellent people make to imitate us.
They give Roman names to their tern
pies, to their theatres, to their prom
enades, to their children. Many an
AGUSTUS CESAR struts and swag
gers, a sad contrast to his mignilo"
quent name ! They have a Cunpus
Martins, —an Elysium , —a Pantheon,
—an O leon, — 1 Jlippoclrom js, —-a
Circus ; but, O, ye gods ! what a cir
cus! The meanest munhipium of
Italy would have 'blushed to erect
such a thing.
Among them an heroic soul is styled
a Roman; a woman of exalted spirit, a
Cornelia; an imposing edifice, a Roman
construction. Whatever they do, say
or write, must have a Roman color
ing, or it is not well done, said or
written.
On the stage they act Roman trag
edies, in* which Brutus, Pompey, Cesar
and the good king Tullius himself,
utter sage maxims of state. What do
vou think? I actually had ail oppor
tunity to admire myself thundering
against Cataliue! O, what gestures I
made! It seems to me, my dear Ti e
bonius, that we did not declaim so in
our time; and I can not understand
why these people are unable to oompre
bend that Roman oraters spoke plainly
aud directly. The actor charged with
my role, wore the toga and cothurnus
nobly, and I cried out to him from my
seat, “Bravo, Roscius ? ”
You will, perhaps, ask me if they
have a senate. And why should they
not have one, since they have tribunes,
dictators, Cesars, —-whom they have a
habit of setting up one day and pull
ing down another Yes, my friend,
they have a senate, —-and a prince of
the senate, —and questors, too, —Jupi-
ter forgive me!
“ Where are your consuls ? ” asked I
one day.
“They are all abroad,”
“ At the head of your armies ? ”
“ O, no ! We are at peace ! ”
This reply greatly surpirised me.
I suppose their consuls have all prov
ed traitors and banished ; and as their
elections are shortly to take place,
they will doubtless hasten to appoint
others'-
“ But where is your Pontifex Max
imus ? „
“ He is at Rome.”
“ And your capitolium ? ”
“ At Toulouse.”
In truth, my friend, this is a strange
people.
There sat by me, one night in the
theatre, a wr.ter charged with revising
the Epheinerides to which are daily
consigned the proceedings of the
prince and of the senate : “ You could
not imagine ” said he to me, “ how
like the Romans we are. The Romans
have turned the heads of our good
citizens. They admire nothing unless
it is Greek or Roman. Only Greek
tragedies are played at the colleges.
Our professors deliver Latin harangues
in their annual assemblages. Our
people pray in Latin. Go into our
Christian cemeteries and you will
believe yourself on the Appian Way.
You will see beautiful cenotaphs and
mausoleums surmounted by large, and
costly urns.”
“ Urns ! ” interrupted I; “ for what
purpose, since you have renounced the
salutary custom ot burning the dead?”
“O,” resumed my scribe, “it is
not necessary to imitate you after
death. One of my brethren, a great
advocate of cremation, advises the
Paris ans to rekindle the funeral torch;
but they laugh in his face. They wish
to be buried like good Christians, but
they will speak ot their ashes—of the
ashes of their ancestors. Our poets
recommend their ashes in very touch
mg verses to their friends, and then
have themselves buried just like other
people. We demanded of England
the ashes of our Ciesar, who had never
been burned at ail. Everybody saw
liis body, but yet they will speak of
having seen his ashes.”
I interrupted him again : “ Explain
to me this strange contradiction be
tween language and manners.”
Reflecting a moment ho answered;
“Os all ihe habits of a people, the
most difficult to uproot are those of
language. Words often survive the
things which they express. They are
like old coins whose stamp becomes
each day less distinct. But we know
what they are, we are accustomed to
them, and we preserve them through
a spirit of routine and to spare our
selves the labor ofdevising new ones.”
What do you think of lhatexplana
tion, my dear Trebonius ? It does not
appears to me to be new ; for, if I
have a good memory, it seems to me
that you made, at Tusculum, one day,
about nineteen centuries ago, nearly
the same reflection. Do you remem
ber it ? Farewell
Sandy Higgins and the Wid
ow Horry.
One day Sandy came to my office
and sat down without a word. For
minutes he sat still watching me in
tently as if he was trying to make out
by the sounds of my pen what I was
writing.
“ Squire ” said he at length, “did I
ever tell you about my scrape with
tne Widow Jlorry, up here on the'
river.”
“ Never did, ’ said I, laying down
my pen, “ let’s have it.”
“ They’re curious tilings, widows
is,” said he in a meditative tone, “ and
the more you study about ’em the
more you don’t know enything about
’em. What is that thing I’ve read of
in Eg*pt or B'me other country that
nobody could unridle ? ”
“ The Sphynx, probably,” I replied.
“ Well he continued, that was a
widow, sure as you ever bad a granny.
Everything else on earth has been
found out but them, and they’re as
much a mystery to day as the North
Pole. You may read the history of
the world from Genesis to Revelati ons
and you’ll find that widows has been
at the bottom or the top of five quar
ters of all devilment that’s cut up.
Was you ever in love with any one? ”
“ Lots of them,” said I.
“ You’re a great gander—that is
what you are ? said he. A man that
loves one and gets over it won’t nev
er get bit by another, if lie’s got as
much sense as a ground hog. I don’t
consider that I have got any sense at
all, but I m a Iktle grain too smart to
let another of them get all the trumps
on me. This Widow Ilorry that I
was speaking of, is little the hand
somest woman, I reckon, that ever
looked a man into fits, and I ought to
be a judge, for I’ve seen lots of pretty
women in my days. She was about
thirty-five years old when 1 went up
there to work, just in the bloom of her
beauty, as full of deviltry as a three
year old mule colt. There was a ball
over at Jenkins,” and of course I went,
for I always go where there is any
fun going on, and generally act the
fool before I get away, of course.
The widow was there dressed as fine
as one of Solomon’s lilies, and flying
around like a young lamb in a rye
patch. I was introduced to her and
asked her to dance with me, and she
said “ yes.” I jumped up like I’d
been sot down on a lot of live coals.
You may talk about your sensations, 1
but when she took hold of my hand
and sorter squeezed it, felt a sensation
as big ns a load of wood, and it kept
running up and nown my back like a
cat squirel with a hawk after him-
I’m very fond of dancing, but I’ll bo
hanged if I could tell exactly whether
I enjoyed it that night or not, for ev
ery time she took hold of my hand I’d
commence feeling curious behind the
ears and up and down the back again?
and then I wouldn't know whether T
was on earth or in a balloon, or on a
comet, or anything a’bout it It was
undoubiably a case of love at first
sight and a powerful bad case at that.
For a wonder I got through the frolic
without cutting up any extras, as I’m
in the habit of doing when I go into
public. Id set my pegs to go home
with the widow when the ball ended,
but just as I was fixing my mouth to
ask her up steps a long, lather faced
doctor named Mabry, walked her off
right before my eyes. That riled me
little, but I kept my tongue still, in
ward!} swearing to break Ills bones
the very first opportunity that offered
itself. I saw there was no use saying
anything, so I went home and went to
bed, and all the rest of the night 1
was dreaming about rainbows, angels,
butterflies, fid lies, widows and docs
tors, and mixed worse than a dutch
man’s dinner. Weil, “ Squire, to
make a short story of it, I made up
my mind to have the widow or kill
myselfor somebody else.
“So I made it convenient to, be on
hanel where she was on all occasions,
I couldn’t cat or sleep, and if the
tiling had held on I wouldn’t have
sense enough to skin a rabbit. But I
was determined it shouldn’t last kmg,
for I’d been fooled so often by women
that I thought I would not give her
time to think of anything but me.—
She appeared to take to me right
sharply aud though the doctor seemed
inclined to mix it with me, I did not
consider him more in the way thau a
brush fence for I thought I was so far
gone she couldn’t see nobody on earth
but me. “ Well Squire, things went
on so for about a month, and on Sun
day I screwed up my spunk and put
the question to her. She sorter look
ed one-sided and finally told me she
couldn’t give ine an answer just then,
but if I’d call at her house next
Thursday evening, she’d give me a
final answer. Thinks I, you are mine
just as sure as there are fiddles below!
whenever a woman takes time to
study she’ll say “ves.” Squire don’t
poets say something about the calcu
lations of men and rats gom’ crook
ed ? ”
“ Mice and men, Burns says,” I
answered."
“ Well, mice and rats is all one, and
so is men and fools, sometimes, as I’ve
found in my travels, I was so sure she
would have me I weut off and spent
all my money for fine clothes, think
ing I’d have them ready for the wed
ding—and I did ! # Confound her !
Thursday evening come at last, tho’ it
was a long time about it, and over I
w ent dressed into fits, and feelings as
big as Josh Moyer did when lie was
elected coroner. Got there at dark
and found a right smart crowd collect
ed, which was not on the bills, but I
felt as big and as good as the rest of
’em. So I marched in like a blind
mule into a potato patch, and took a
seat by the fire. I didn’t see any
thing of the widow but kept looking
for hei to come in or send for me, and
passed away the time by cussin’ the
crowd to myself, thinking they had
no business there, and I would not
get to talk to my woman a bit. Pres
ently a door opened and in walked
Polly and that dod burned doctor, and
a w hole team of boys and gals fixed
up savagely. I tell you I looked
around for a fiddler, thinking they
w’ere going to have a ball ; but I
wondered what they all kept so still
for, and was about proposing a reel ?
when up stepped a little preacher, and
before vou could swallow' a live oys-
, ter lie had Polly and the doctor mar
ried faster than a Mexican greaser
could tie a bull’s horns ! I was so com
pletely flummuxed that I set there
with my mouth opened, like I w'as
going to swallow the whole crowd
and my eyes looked like two billiard
I balls till the ceremony was all over,
when I jumped up and bellered ;
“ I forbid the thing from being con
stitilted ! ”
“ You are a little too late my
friend ? ” says the preacher, and they
all commenced laughing like they’d
seed something very funny.
“I’ll be darned squizzled es I don’t
be soon enough for somebody vit!
says I, for I was mad, Squire and no
mistake in the ticket. Ido believe I
could have eat up that doctor quicker
than a hungry dog could swallow a
squirrel skin, es I could have had a
fair chance at him. It was too bad
after I had fixed up to marry her my- j
self, for her to walk right out before
my eyes and marry that great baboon. !
“It was bad, that is a fact,” said I. 1
“ Bad ! ” replied he. It was mean
er than eating a fried coon. I first
thought I’d go straight home, but then
I concluded it wouldn’t spite nobody,
so I determined to stop aud see es I
couldn’t get satisfaction out of some
body.
“You know' I’m the devil to get my
self or somebody - else, in a scrape
when I take a notion, and I’d taken
onethatnight that w’entall over me like
a third day chill, so I commmenced
studying out some plan. I recollec
ted hearing tlie doctor say that where
he come from, (but the Lord only
know r s where that was) the bride and
groom always washed their faces to'
gether before they went to bed as a
charnr against infidelity, imbecility or
some other long 'words. AY bile I
was studying I saw the doctors sad
dle bags setting in a corner, so I wait
ed until they went to supper, and
then I got the bags and looked to see
what I could discover. Nearly the
fir-t thing I saw'was apiece of lunar
costic. 1 slipt it into my pocket, for I
had a plan as soon as I saw it. Well
I watched around till I saw one of
the gills go to the water pail with a
pitcher, and I went out and asked her
what she was going to do with it.—
She said she w r as going to carry it in
the room for the doctor and Poll to
wash their faces. I kept talking to
her w hile she was filling the pitcher,
and when she turned her head away
I dropped the caustic in. It w'as
about bedtime, and I got my hat
and put out, but I could not help
laughing all the way home whenever
I’d think about it.
Well Squire, they do say when
that couple waked up next morning,
they both had the hardest kind ot
fits, each thinking they had been
sleeping w'ith a nigger. Oh it was
rich ! He was a cussin’ aud tearing up
things and she was screaming and
fainting, and coming too, and me not
there to see it ! They made such an
ungodly racket that the folks broke
into the room to see what was the
matter and found their faces and
hands as black as the inside of a stove
pipe. I’d given half my interest in
the other world just to have been in
some t afe place where I could have
seen the w’hole row. As soon as they
found that they were really the same
folks that were married the night be
fore, they called for warm water and
soap ; but just then the doctor hap
pened to think about the pitcher, and
took it to the door to see what w'as
the matter. There was a little piece
of caustic that had not dissolved, and
as soon as lie” saw it he said :
“It’s no use washing, Polly, all the
soap in New r Y"ork can’t wasli that
black off!”
That w'as the truth, Squire, soap
and rags had no more effect than it
would on a native negro to get white
again. I never found out, but one
thing Ido know,” he concluded get
ting up to go, “the next time I saw
the doctor I had the hardest fight,
and come nigher getting whaled
than ever I did m all my born
davs!”
