Watchman, What of the Night?
Recent occurrences of a highly
sensational character have startled
society at Carrollton. The moral
stench arising from these occur
rences—-or rather, indicated by
them—is none the less offensive
that allusion to them has been cares
fully kept out of the local press.
It has only been less generally dis-
I used. Rumor is an active dissemi-
of news. The slightest breath
of scandal unlooses her tongue,
and she never softens a feature or
mitigates the character of an of
fense. We can not flatter our
selves that any stain upon the es
cutcheon of our little city will not
be seen abroad. People of the bet
ter class—thoughtful fatheis and
mothers—are beginning to ask
“to what are we tending?”
The agitation following these
events which, from their public
character and the prominence of
the parties, more diredtly concern
ed the public here, had only begun
to subside when rumors of a sens ar
tional character began to fill ths
air connecting the names -of a mar
ried man in town with that of a
young lady of respectable family
in the country, who, it is said was
only saved from ruin by the timely
accidental 'discovery of a corres
pondence looking to an elopement
with her infatuated lover. It is
exceedingly painful to write of such
things, but it is useless to
mince matters. As a journalist it
is our duty to sound the note of
alarm. There is something radi
cally wrong in society.
hen respectable people receive
in their social circles young men
who may be seen drunk on the
streets and who do not feel them
selves disgraced, they may expect
the character of their sons and
daughters to take its tone from the
endorsement which they thus put
upon a reckless disregard of public
decency. And this principle ap
plies to any other line of conduct
that diverges from the straight path
of public and private morality. If
society opens its doors to the habit
ues of brothels, the manners of the
biothel will infect society. The
line must be drawn somewhere be
tween decency and corruption. A
father who would allow people to
come from a small-pox hospital and
mingle with his family would be
considered foolish or insane- Is it
not more foolish to neglect to guard
our families against the contagion
of moral leprosy ?
A Horrible Calamity,
On Monday night last at about
II o’clock a train of the East T.G.
and V. railroad ran into a train of
the Ga. Pacific at a olace 17- miles
from Atlanta and one and a half
from Austell, causing the death of
ten persons. The two companies
use the same track from Atlanta
to a point beyond Austell. The
trains left Atlanta minutes
apart, the G. P. in advance. With
this difference of time, which would
seem ample for safety, the running
of the trains was so regulated that
while the G. P. train was taking in
watei at the tank, the other train
crashed into it, the engine telesco
ping a sleeping car.
The Constintion of the 16th has
nearly an entire page devoted to
an account of the catastrophe—
The scene was heartrending in the
last degree. One entire family,
consisting of Mr. Jake Banks, of
layette county, his wife, their sons
in-law, Mr. B. Bright, his wife and
their babe, was swept into ete; ni
ty. Besides the loss of life, r v.y
weye Jterribl} scalded and bruised.
The Weather.
The Signals of to-day indicate
fair weather with rising warmer
temperature.
Beware of imitations,’ as the
monkey said to the dude.
ROBERT TOOMBS.
At six o'clock on Tuesday even
ing last there died at Washington,
Georgia, a man whose fame is
- world wide. Bob Toombs, the in
tellectual giant, the hero-statesman
J has passed away. But his name
j will live on in the hearts of his peo
ple and in the voice of fame.—
The grandest and greatest defen
der of constitutional liberty and
the common rights of man has laid
aside his armor. His voice is hush
ed. But his spirit lives in the peo
ple whom by precept and example,
he taught to hate tyranny and love
freedom. Georgia weeps over the
grave of her great son. It is known
that in his later years he embraced
the religion of Jesus, so that death
found him ready to go. Peace to
his a dies! Rest to thy soul! grand
oln man. I; will be long e’er
America will produce thy peer.
_
HOGS.
Last week we had occasion to
say something about the Jersey
stock of’ hogs, and we know that
for thriftiness, exemption from’dis
case, and quick growth, they are
hard to beat. But the Essex is al
so a thrifty pig, and matures rap
idly,as appears from actual results.
Judge Pope, of Zebulon, informs
us that he slaughtered five’ Essex
pigs whose ages averaged 13
months,and got 1695 lbs net weight.
The yield of lard from the five
was 40 gallons. He says it is an
easy matter to make the Essex
weigh 200 at one year old. Since
writing last week, we have learned
that the twe 8 months pigs we saw
at Mr. W. T. Johnson’s at Bow
don were across of Jersey and Es
sex, instead of pure Jersey as we
thought.
Washington Letter.
Washington. D. C.,Dcc. 14,1884.
To the Editik of The Times.
One week of congress has pass
ed and nothing done. Both branch
es, however, will soon get down to
hard work. Over 200 bills have
already been introduced in the Sen
ate, and a flood of them is expected
in the House to-day. As a rule
Members are hard worked, al
though neither House meets till
12 o'clock and both adjourn at 5.
The bouse before 12 are occupied i
in committee meetings and the 1
preparation of reports on claims !
referred to individual Members:
for examination. The Members;
are often obliged to devote hours ■
at night to the examination and
digesting of the voluminous papers
usually submitted in support of the
claims. They cannot skim over the
evidence because they 1, have to sub
mit a clear statement of it to the
• committee before the latter agrees
on the report, and then they must i
be prepared to answer all questions -
■ that may be propounded by the
300 and more Members when the
» cla’m comes t p for final action m
i the House. The duties and labors
• of a Member are anything but few
; and light when Congress is sitting.
I Besides the duties imposed upon
. him by the Housq, he has nume
rous letters of all sorts and Kinds to
answer not only from his own con
stituents, but even from other citi
zens of his own State, and at times
even from other States. This
correspondence is so lerge that
1 Congress found it necessary to al
low each Member S3OO a session
: for writing paper and postage.
Then again'a great deal of time is
consumed in visiting the various
> Depaitmcnts looking after the
> claims or some business of consti
. tuents requiring action by the De
partment. For that reason the
; corridors of the Department build
; ings are alive with distinguished
i servants of the Republic from
the time that their doors are open-
■ cd until the last minute of grace to
reach the capitol to look after
1 business there. Truly, the path of
1 a Member is a rough and rugged
one and not strewn with roses.
The florists here are already res
’ nowing their well grounded com
plaints against the injustice done
‘ by the Government in keeping up
1 four immense propagating garden ß
and green houses to supply flowers
and plants gratuitously to the so-
• ciety people to the injury of private
enterprises. Thousands of dollars
3 are appropriated every session of
.. Congress to keep up these Govern
ment green houses to no purpose
other than to supply high officials
e and their friends with flowers and
plants to adorn their private parlors
when giving the customary after
noon and evening receptions. This
of course injures honest trade, and
should be stopped. The American
people do not object to their money
being expended in what contributes
to the welfare of all an 1 advances
science, but they do object to crush
ing out private enterprises by us
ing public funds to benefit class
individuals. Let there be a reform
in this all important matter.
Washington has been the city of
conventions the past week. First
in importance was the Republic’s
convention—Congress; second, the
Sanitary convention, aud third, but
by no means least, the Knights of
Labor convention.
The Sanitary convention is large
ly attended, and its daily sessions
are interesting in the papers read
and discussions following on sub
jects affecting the hygiene and san.
itary condition of the whole coun
try. Many distinguished sanitists
are here, and the printed report
of the convention’s proceedings
will be received by the people of
all sections as an important and
useful acquisition to sanitary sci
ence. It is a subject in which ev
eiy large city and town in the conn
try is deeply interested,as the health
of whole communities is dependent
upon it. Some of the subjects dis
cussed are the health of factory op
eratives, the question of marine
quarantine; and a commission to
study yellow fever.
The labor convention has been
holding daily sessions, and discuss
ing subjects affecting the welfare
of all laboring classes. Among
the most important subjects are
“boycotting,” and eight hours for
a day’s work. Both subjects have
received the hearty endorsement of
the convention. It is believed that
the meeting at this time will in*
duce Congressional action on labor
questions. The convention is large
and composed of an intelligent
body of men, who are calm in
their deliberations and yet firm in
insisting on, as a part of the com
mon law of the land, what they
believe to be for the interest of the
laboring classes and just to their
employers. Last Thursday night
they had a torchlight procession,
which was a mile in length and
! the most elderly ever seen here.—
The men in line were both young
aud gray haired, and their appear
ance and bearing would command
respect at any time and in any
place. Among the transparencies
were some bearing such inscriptions
as “Abolish Convict Labor.” “Ar -
bitration first, and strikes as the
last resort,” “Organized labor is’
the bulwark of the Republic,’
“Abolish the Government contiact
• system,” etc., etc, A mass meet
i ing was held after the procession,
and stirring addresses made by
good speakers. Congress cannot
help being deeply and favorably
impressed with the demonstration.
On Thursday morning requiem
was held at St. Matthew’s Church
for the repose of the soul of King
Alfonso, and was a very imposing
ceremony. The President, accom
panied by his Secretaries of State
and War, walked over to the church
from the Vi bite House, and were
assigned seats in a front pew. All
of the Foreign Legations at the
Capital attended, and the gorgeous
uniforms cf the ministers and at*
' taches added to the brilliancy of
the scene.
The Senate Committee on Print
ing will probably soon offer a'res
olution regulating the number of
copies of bills to be printed. At
present an equal number of all bills
are printed, and as a consequence
there are tens of thoufeands copies
of private bills that are never *sed
and are wasted, while there are not
enough copies of the important
bills to supply the demand. The
proposed resolution will remedy
the evil. H.
