JOHN L SHOREY,
36 BrQoi&jjeld Street, Boston
President Hayes i Atlanta.
Ihe following is th. address of
welcome delivered by Gk. Colquitt,
at the Hayes’ receptioiin Atlanta,
and also the response t the Presi
dent:
GOV COLQUITT 8 f BEECH f WELCOME.
A/r, J resident : In beHf of the peo
ple of Georgia, I bid yi and your
companions, who are puent, a cordi
al welcome. [Applause. We are in
the habit of opening ot hearts and
gates to strangers who jme among
us from beyond our borjrs, and to us
the virtue of hospitality} jts own ex
ceeding great reward. Under any
circumstances, the Upitalitv of
which we trust G orgiat may justly
beast would make the [resident of
the United States heady welcome
upon our soil. [Great beers.] But
you, sir, come into our lidst not as
president only. The 'ast interest
over which you preside,the stupes
doua power which you veld as chief
magistrate, the dignity*with which
your name is invested bjthat power
are not the sole ideas Vich move
us in this greeting to-day. Applause.]
But, that which is most pmiiueut in
our minds, higher and guter than
every other distinction is le eharac
ter you have illustrated [ppla use] —
that ot peacemaker betwei brethren
estranged. [lmmense chedng.] It is
enough to fill the loftiest aibition, to
remove tear and suspenst from the
hearts of twelve million f people—
your -fellow-citizens—Great ap
plause.] and restore to tbm a sense
of repose and security, [upplause ] If
the agencies which latelyVought for
ty millions of people into earful and
unhappy conflict excited le attention
of ifle whole world, the lioral pur
pose, the firm will of ,tb fortunate
magistrate who is first locontrol and
vahn the spirit which raised this
mighty strife, will attraotthe admiral
tion and plaudits every were ou earth
wheie good will to mai prevails.—
[Great applause,] Ilow grange—how
passing ange—that mu, brethren,
of the same political heriage, can dif
fer or doubt as to the be.eficeut effect
of so holy an uudei tkiug I [Ap
plause.] We invite youUr President,
lo the closest scrutiny. We are not
mistaken, we do not deoive ourselves
—we do not intend te deeive others,
when we say we mean pace; we mean
union; we mean jaod govern
ment; we mean to gie a helpiug
hand to any and to all rho shall hon
or, bless and dignity the common
country. [Applause.]
The great moyirig c*ise ot these
hearty demonstration; which have
greeted you since you puched south
ern soil is to be formet in the gener
ous confidence you have extended to
our professions. We kiow, Mr Pres>
ideut, that you believew-hat we say,
and your magnanitnoiu trust exacts
no cringing, no servile guarantees.—
<[_ Applause.] Differ tlough we may
in parly affiliations, yet without think
ing of complications, >r caring for
them, we can assure ytu of the sym
pathy and support of this good old
commonwealth in al“ your efforts
in behalf ot constititional govern
ment, and the oompllte restoration
of good will and fraternity between
the states of this inion [Great
cheers.] Again, sir, let me assure you
of the pleasure which four presence
here to-day gives us, aid our ardent
desire to make your visit and that of
your companions pleasait while you
stay with us. In this sprit, and in
the name of this people,l bid you and
your noble wife, -these gentle ladies
and honored gentlemen, a most cor
dial welcome. [Great applause.]
PRESIDENT HATES
was next introduced and greeted with
great cheering He said:
Fellow' citizens of Georgia: My
friends of Georgia, I regret that by
reason of a slight cold taken a day or
two ago in a rain storm in East Ten*
nessee, rav voice is not iu a condition
to be heard for the first fev sentences
of my address by any considerable
portion ot this vast audience, but if
you will bear with me I suspect m a
very few minutes I shall make myself
heard. The day before yesterday at
Chattanooga I met a committee of
your citizens w'ho desired me and urg
ed me to extend, with the party ac -
companying me, our trip to your
beautiful and prosperous city. We
w’ere all very desirous tc accept that
invitation. We felt that, extended
as it was, it was a very groat honor
to us individually. We felt that it
would be a very great pleasure to
meet you at your homes, but out av,
rangeuients ahead had been made,
and I snpirtrtje it was outof the <ju s*
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 5, 1877.
tion to extend the trip. Happily, our
railroad friends assured us that by
riding all of last night and all of to
night, w r e should be able to visit At-*
lanta, and at once those who were
the healthier and stronger of the par
ty urged by those of the other sex
ccnseuted to come. And now we are
here. -I wish to say in a single sen
tence, we are glad to be here. [Ap
plause.] The very tloquent addresses
to which we have listened, and
rally the very eucouraging statements
we have heard from the governor ot
Georgia are surely of themselves
greeted as they have been, and en
dorsed by the applause of this great
audience— they are of themselves so
great a gratification that J would not,
on any acc ount, have missed the
pleasure I have felt this morning.—
[Cheers.] I suppose That here, as
everywhere else, I am in the presence
of men of both great political parties.
lam speaking, also, in the presence
of citizens of both races, lam quite
sure that there are before me very
many ot the brave men who taught in
the confederate army. [Applause ]
Some, doubtless, of the men who
fought iu the union army. [Applause.]
And here we are, republicans, demo
crats, colored people, w'liite people
confederate soldiers and union solo
diers, all ol one mind and one heart
to-day! [lmmense Cheering.] And
why should we not be? What is theie
to separate us longer? Without any
fault ot yours or any fault of mine, or
of any one of this great aulienee,
slavery existed in this country. I
was in the constitution of the
try. The colored man wms here, not
by his own voluntary action. It was
the misfortune of his fathers that it
was by the crime of our fathers that
he was here. He was here however
aud we of the tw r o sections d'ffered,
about what should be done with him.
As Mr. Lincoln told us in the war
there w'ere prayers on both sides for
him. Both sides found iu the Bible
confirmation.of their opinions, and
both sides finally undertook to settle
the question by that last final means
of arbitration—force of arms. Y r ou
here mainly joiued the confederate
side, and fought bravely, risked your
lives heroically in behalf cf your con
•victious, aud can I, can any true man
anywhere, fail to respect the man
who risks his life tor his convictions?
[Prolonged cheers.] And as I accord
that respect to you, and believe you
to lie equally liberal aud generous and
just, I feel that an I stand before you,
as one who fought in the union army
lor his couvictious, I am entitled to
your respect. [Cheers.] Now that
conflict is over, my friends- Governor
Hampton repeated to you last night
the way iu which I have been in the
habit ot putting it since I came to the
South. There were a larger propor
tion of traiued soldiers iu your array
at first than in ours, in a much larger
proportion you were good marksmen
aud good horsemen, (and that is twos
thirds ot a good soldier.) [Laughter.]
But gradually we learned to ride, too,
[laughter] and, as some of you know,
gradually we learned to shoot. [Re
newed laughter.] I happen to know
how well you shoot. [Cheers.] Well,
having learned how to ride aud shoot,
then it was a case of fight between
Greek and Greek, and w’heu Greek
meets Greek you know what the con
flict is; [eheeis] and more than that,
you kuow T exactly how it will term'r
liate. That patty in that fight will
always conquer that has the most
Greeks. [Laughter and cheering.] So
w’ith uo discredit to you and uo spec*
ial credit to us, the war turned out as
it did, [Cheers.] Now shall w r e quit
fighting? [Cries of ‘Yes, yes!’] I have
been in the habit of telling an anec
dote of General Scott aud a statesman
at Washington, in which the states
man said that as soou as the war was
over and the combatants laid down
their anus, we would have complete
peace. No, said General Scott, it will
take several years in which all the
powers of the general government
will be employed in keeping peace
between the belligerent non-combat
ants! (Laughter.) Now, I think we
(haye gotten through with that,
iCi.eers) and having peace between
he soldiers and the uon-combatauts,
that is an end of the war. Is there
any reason, then, why we should not
beat peace forever more? We are em
barked upon the same voyage, upon
the same ship, under the same old flag
Good fortun'j or ill fortune affects
you and your children as well as my
people and my children. (Cheers.)
Every interest you possess is to be
promoted by peace. Here is this
great city of Atlanta gathering to it
elf from all parts ot the country its
| wealth and business by its railroads,
and 1 say to you that every descrip-.
tkuvs of industry and legitimate ’bas
eness needs peace. That is what cap
ital wants. Discord, disc-intent and
dissatisfaction are the enemies ot these
| enterprises. Then all our interests are
| for peace. Are we not agreed about
j that? What do we waDt lor the future?
! I believe it is the dutv of the general
| government to regard equally aud
; alike the interests aud rights ot all sec
j tions of this country. [Cheers.] I
; am glad that you agree with me about
that. I believe, further, that it is the
duty ot the government to regard
alike and equally the rights and inter
ests of all classes of citizens.—
[Cheers.] That covers the whole
matter. That wipes out in the future
iu our politics the section line forev
er. [Cheers.] Let me say a word
upon what has been done. Ido not
undertake to discuss or defend par
ticular measures. I leave the people
with their knowledge of the facts to
examine, discuss aud decide for
themselves as to them. I speak ot
general consideiation and notions.—
What troubles our people at the
north? What has troubled them was
that they feared that these colored
people, who had been made freemen
by the war, would not be safe in their
riglns and interests in the South un
less it was by the interference of the
general government. Many good
people had the idea. I had given
that matter some consideration, and
uow, my colored friends, who have
thought, or w'ho have been told that
I was turning my back upon the men
whom I fought for, now listen! After
thinking over it, I believed that
your rights and interest would be
safer if this great mass of intelligent
w hite men were let alone by,the gen
eral government. [lmmense enthu
siasm aud cheering for several min
utes.] And uow, my colored friends,
let me say another thing. We have
been trying it for these six months,
aud in lay opiuion, no six months
since the war have there been so few
outrages and invasions of your-rights,
nor you so secure in your rights, per
sons and homes, as it the last six
months. [Great cheering.] Then
my friends, we are all together upon
one proposition. We believe, and in
this all those who are here agree, in
the union of our fathers, the constitu
tion as it is with all it amendments,
and are prepared to see it ffully and
fairly obeyed tmd enforced. [Cheers.]
Now, my friends, 1 6ee it 6tatedocca
gionly that President Hayes has taken
the course he has because he was com
pelled to it. [Voices—-We don’t be
lieve it!] Now I was compelled to
do it. [Applause.] I was compelled
to it by my sense of duty under my
oath of office. [lntense enthusiasm
aud cheers,] What was done by us
was done, not merely Ly force ot spe
cial circumstances, but was just and
right to do it. [Cheers.] Now' let
us come together. Let each man
make up his mind to be a patriot in
his own heme and place. You may
quarrel about the tariff, get up a sharp
contest about the currency, about the
removal of state capitals and where
they shall go to, [laughter,] but upon
the great question of the union of the
states and the rights of all citizens, we
shall agree for ever more. [Great
cheers.] I shall not forget this recep
tion tud this greeting. Every good
purpose I have will be strengthened
by what I have seen and heard here
to-day. I thank you for the help it
will give me hereafter during my
term ot office. I bid you good uiorn
ing. [Cheers.]

Gov. Hampton Threatened With
Assassination. —Gov. Hamptou ; of
South Carolina, was iu Chicago oh
Wednesday, on his way to Rockford,
111., where he had an engagement to
address the Agricultural Society ot
\\ inneb.ago county. He stated to a
reporter that he had in his possession
letters threating his assassination it
he attempted to deliver the contem
plated address, but these letters were
wrtteu by cowards. The meanest
anonymous letter ever written, lie
thought, w r as mailed from Chicago,
and was addressed thus:
To Wade Hampton, Columbia, S.
C., or wherever else the damned vil
lain may be. Curses on his soul.

President Davis* Capture.
James H. Jones a negro who was
with Mr. Davis or with his family
during nearly the whole time of the
war iu the capacity of coachman, and
w ho was with him when he was taken
prisoner iu Georgia, has furnished the
Raleigh ,(N. C. ) papers with a state
ment ot his capture, which explodes
the story that Mr. Davis attempted
to escape in the disguise of a woman.
Jones is a resident ot Raleigh aud
stands as high as any negro man iu the
State for truth and integrity. He is
said to have been for ten years cap”
tain of tuo Victor Fire company of
Raleigh, and was until his resigna
tion recently, captain of the Raleigh
Blues, a negro volunteer compauy of
that city. His statement m brief is as
follows:
I was a coachman to lion. Jeff Da
vis nearly all through the war, and
was with him at the time of his cap*
ture which occurred on the 10th of
May, 1865, between three and four
o’clock in the morning, some fourteen
or sixteen miles from the county seat
of W ilcox county, Georgia, while in
camp on the public road. I heard the
tramping ot the horses of the federal
soldiers as they were approaching the
camp and aw oke Mr. Davis and told
him that the yankees were uearly on
us. He and his wife had been sleep
ing in their tent. When I went in
he got up, and by the time he got his
clothes on the soldiers were iu the
camp, aud ten or twelve of them were
standing at his tent door with their
guns. No one could pass in or out.
Mrs. Davis and her children had
not had time to dress. Mr Davis W'ent
to door and was ordered by
the soldiers to surrender. lie replied
he would not, he w T ould die first. At
this time pressed to her
husbaud and put her arms around his
neck, begging the soldiers not to kill
him—both she and the children cry
ing piteously. It has been stated
that Mr-Davis had on a hoop skirt,
aud was otherwise disguised as a wo
man. This is wholly false. He uas
dressed iu his ordinary clothing, with
cavalry boots drawu over his pants, a
water proof over his dress coat, and a
shawl thrown over his shoulders and
on his head a broad lb rim white cr
Texas hat. He had not an article of
female wear on his person.
The European Plan.
Yesterday evening a stranger, clad
in a duster, and carrying a car pet-
a hotel on Delaware
avenue. He marched strait up To the
counter, where the amiable landlord
stood picking his teeth, and the mo
ment he set his bag down the amia.-
ble landlord whisked it off and set it
down with the pile of other baggage
behind the bar.
Please register your name, said the
landlord, passing him a pen.
How much is it, mister?
That depends on what you get. —
We keep hotel here ou the European
plan.
I say, mister, said the countryman,
all in a tremble, please give me that
bag, and I’ll go right out and not say
a word..
The iandlord gazed at him but
made no movement toward the
bag.
Please, mister, give me my bag.—
There is nothing in it but a few shirts,
indeed there is not. Here is the key.
I will let von search it, continued
the stianger, treuibneg still more vio
lently.
The landlord passed him the bag,
and the stranger iustantly shot for the
door, as the former exclaimed:
Well, blame me it I am uot puz
zled to know what kind of a fool you
are.
But the sti anger paused to hear
no compliments, and was a good half
mile away before he took courage to
lean against an awning post and mut
ter:
Gracious! What an escape ! Keeps
a hotel on the you roj ein plan, does
he ? I suppose he wanted to rope me
in and perhaps kill me. Lord! what
wicked places these Cities are. I will
go home immediately. And hekept
bis word.
In Caldwell county, N. C., the cofe
oi’ed people held a meeting to pray
: for rain. Oue brother was called,
; who prayed alter this manner: ‘O,
j Lord God, us poor niggers is perish
: ing this year, an’ ef you don't gib us
: rain we wiU perish next year too. So,
, good Lord, gib us rain. Don’t gib
us oue ob dese little slippy slappies,
| but do, good Lord, gib us one of dem
i gully-wasl-firs au’ trash-movers.’
Too Well Proved.
A lawyer had a case on the docket,
in which, among the other things, he
wished to prove that his client had
uo money, and to this end he cross
examiued oue of the opponents wit
nesses as follows:
‘You asked my client for money,
did you not?'
‘Well—yes sir.’
‘Answer promptly, sir. Let us
have uo hesitation. You asked him
for mouey—uow what was his an
swer?’
T don’t kuow as I cau tell.’
‘But surely you remember.’
‘Yes, sir,’
Theu out with it What was his
answer.
I’d rather not tell.
Ho! ho! You are on that track are
you? You won’t tell?
I should rather uot, sir?
But I should rather you would! So,
sir, if you do not answer my questious
promptly and truthfully, I'll call on the
court to commit you for contempt.
Well, if I must tell tales out ot
school here you have it. I asked
him yesterday it he couldn’t lend me
a half a dollar, and he tolo me he
could not.
Aud you believed him, did you
not?
Yes, sir; for he said you had rob-*
bed him of every cent of his ready
money, and if ho didn’t get out ol
your hands pretty soon his wife and
little ones would come to want.
That will do, sir. You can step
down off the stand.

Caste in Xiterature.
Say, mister, said a small boy to one
-of the assistants at the public library,
I can net find the books I want to git
in these here catalogues. 1 wish you'd
find’em for me. What work do you
wish to draw? paternally inquired the
official. Well, hev yer got Mulligan
the Masner; or The Gory Galoot of
the Galtees? The man shook his head
Well, I’d like Red-headed Ralph, the
Ranger of the Roaming Rialto. We
dont keep any of that kind of trash?
my boy. Wol sorUof a libery is this,
anyway, retorted the gamin. Wy,
it is just like every thing else in this
country —run for the rich, an’ the poor
workingman gits no show at all!
Cruelty to Animals. —The follows
ing is the law .in force in Georgianpon
this subject:
Any person in the State who shall
torture, torment, deprive ot necessary
sustenance, cruelly beat or mutilate,
or cause to be tortured, tormented,
deprived of necessary sustenance, cru
elly beaten or mutilated, any horse or
other animal, shall be guilty of a mis
demeanor, aud for every such offense
shall upon conviction thereot, be pun
ished by a fine not to exceed one
thousand dollars; imprisonment not
to exceed six months; to work in the
chain gang, on the public works, not
to exceed twelve months; and any
oue or more ot these punishments
may be ordered in the discretion of
the J udge.
Be Frank. —Never deceive for the
sake of foolish jest, or to excite laugh
ter of a tew companions at the ex
pense of a friend. Be anxious when
you relate anything to tell it just as it
occurred. Never vary iu the least
degree. The reason why our ears
are so often saluted by false reports is
because people iu telling real things
add a little to them, and as they pass
through a dozen mouths the original
story is turned into something entire,
ly different. So when you attempt
to tell anything ihat you have seen
with your own eyes relate it correctly
in every particular, and as you grow
older you will neap the advantage of
this course.

Mis. Sherman, the General's wife,
