STANDARD AND EXPRESS, CARTERRVILLE* GA., I)EC. 21, 1871. Herding matter on every page ANNUAL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1872. Our readers will bear with us, doubtless on account of the mcagreness of our news and editorial columns, this week. This is occasioned by our dispensing with our weekly supplement, thereby compelling us to crowd out reading matter in order to ac _ commodate our advertising patrons. On or about the first of January coming, we will enlarge the Standard and Express to a nine column paper, which will add on four more columns aud lengthen them proportionately This will make the paper the largest and handsomest Weekly country paper in the State. We expect to appear in new dress, as we have sent on an order for new mate rial. We intend to make our paper second to no Weekly paper published anywhere, as we have a subscription list as large or larg er than any outside of the cities. We now give ample notice to all sub scribers whoso subscriptions expire with the year 1871, that unless the sub scription is renewed, forthwith, their names will be dropped from our list. We labor to make our paper one worthy of its patrons, and we cannot afford to do this on a credit. So come up and renew by the first of Janua ry, 1872, so as to commence with the new year. Agents, or persons sending us five names and ten dollars will be entitled to a copy of the paper one year free. So go to work, friends, and get up a club or clubs. THE NEGRO AGAIN. Mr. King, of Missouri, has introduced, in the House of Representatives, at Washing ton, a joint resolution to amend the Con stitution. The bill proposes to make i* unlawful for the white inhabitants of the United States, of either sex, to intermarry with the African or any other colored inhabitants of the L'nitcd Slates, aud all such marriages are prohibited. The second section gives to the Stales the power to provide for the education in schools and colleges of the colored children separate and apart from the schools and colleges appropriated to the white children. We suppose, as a matter of course, that the author of the resolution is a Southern man; or, if not, he most certainly takes the Southern view of the subject. liut what will the Northern friends of tnunbo say to this demonstration ? Already the process of miscegenation has begun iu many por tions of the land, and to deprive the phil anthropic white men and women of the North of the inestimable privilege of form ing such tender and interesting connections with tho now popular sable ''race would be grievous indeed. Not very long ago, we ra®ember that one of their most influential divines publicly de clared from the rostrum, that negro race was the superior of the two ; aud the argument was that, whereas the emotional is superior to the intellec tual nature, and that the negro was the superior in this respect, therefore the negro was highest in the scale of being. Is he not a man and a brother, a woman and a sister, and endued with superior quali ties, outranking the white men in the scale of being, and possessing the more admira ble qualities, who shall say that marriages so appropriate to the declared opinions of the gentlemen and ladies north of Mason and Dixon s line shall be rudely obstructed by statutory prohibitions ? Mr. King is evidently interfereing with the right of the “Lord’s people,” which being inalienable, will of course call forth their unqualified condemnation. Shan’t a man choose his wife, shan’t a woman be permitted to marry her own true lover ? Is it not a matter of taste and desire? And then, again, is not the virtuous Sumner loud iu his demonstra tions in behalf of mixed schools, for putting all on an equality, and mingling in classes and educatiou and daily association, the youth of all races ? And, can it be expec ted that this big gun of Massachusetts will not unlimber itself and pour great hot shot upon the nefarious attempt of the Missouri member to carry out a proposition so de testable in the views of ttie model common wealth, and its- Senator ? Rut badinage aside, the time is coming, and it is near at hand, when all the crude, an and impracti cable, and wicked, and infidel notions con nected with all this foolish and damaging question of social equality, must and will give way. FRANK ISIIOWN. It is with mingled feelings that we read in the Atlanta Constitution, of Tuesday morning last, a notice of the death of Frank, son of ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown. Lit tle Frank was widely known, and admired by all who ever formed his acquaintance. An invalid all his life, with scarcely the ability to move about with comfort to him self, with no constitution, and of course the poorest health, his person also was deform ed so as to excite the pity and compassion of the beholder—but within his poor, ema ciated frame, there glowed a warm, and gen erous, and manly heart, and an intellect the peer of any in the laud, old or young. Un able to engage in the sports of childhood jad the usual pursuits of out-door life, he spplied himself to reading and the improve ment of his mind. The amount of infor mation which he had obtained was amazing, and it perhaps is not too much to say that, boy as he was, there was not to be found in the State any one of the leading politicians who was more intimately and correctly acquainted with the condition of the coun try and its political status, than was this little, brilliant fellow. It was a singular pleasure to hear him talk upon the grave matters of State and politics—so child-like, and yet so wise. We shall never forget our first interview with him, on the railroad cars, and the surprise with which he filled us at his wonderful acquaintance with the history of the times, and the boldness and originality of his own well-sustained opin ions of men and politics. Throughout all his little life, he was a Southerner —a Con federate —an anti-Radical, differring from his father on his line of politics—it was his pride to be a Democrat. But enough. It is sorrowful to think that so bright an in tellect should go down in the very spring time of life. It is glad to feel that the poor invalid boy is at rest, and to in a bright world suited to his rare and beautiful mind, he lives unencumbered by the burthens of time, the heir of life eter nal. One Good Deed.—Senator Sumner is about to introduce a bill into Congress which we can support with our whole heart. It is for the abolishment of the Internal ltevenue Bureau, with its borders of collectors, inspectors, as sessors, clerks, etc., which cost us last year about eight million dollars, or two-thirds as much as it used to require forty years ago to defray the expenses of the Government of the United States. Jake Smith, the negro who set fire to Chatta nooga, lias been tried and sentenced to twelve years in the Penitentiary. The new Usury law allows any interest up to ten per cent, by contract. Where no interest is mentioned seven per cent, is collectable. No usury heretofore paid, or paid hereafter can be collected back unless suit is brought in six months. Not more than ten per cent, interest can be recovered by law. Sportsmen in West Tennessee arc having great times pigeon shooting. It is stated upon excellent authority that the .Senate Committee on Elections and Privileges have decided to report adversely upon Blodgett’s, and favorably upon Nor wood’s claim to a seat in the Senate. (COMMUNICATED.) Mr. Editor Please allow me the uso of your columns for the purpose of informing the citi zens of Cartersville that there is a regularly chartered division of the “ Sons of Temperance” organized in our town, and is now holding reg ular weekly meetings. The objects and aims of this order is too well known to need repeat ing here. But as this institution is just strug gling into existence—still in its infancy—it needs and should have, I think, the sympathy and encouragement of all lovers of order anil morality, and as a rnemder of this division, I feel authorized to extend an invitation to all such to join with us, and lend their eo-operation in carrying out the designs of our order. A MEMBER. THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Report of the Committee upon the State of the Republic. In the Senate on Wednesday, Mr. Welborn, Chairman ol the Committee upon the State of the Republic, made the following report: Mr. President : It has Deena time-honored custom in the States of the American Union that there should be periodically some expres sion from the representatives of the people as to the condition of the Commonwealth. In discharging this customary duty, your Committee w ill be pardoned if, from necessity, they briefly allude to the past. The Journals of the proceedings of our pre deceisors, anterior to the war. are replete with evidences of a-condition of constantly increas ing prosperity. The events of the war turned back upon us the tide of calamity. The history of the succeeding years is remarkable for the number and magnitude of the political misfor tunes which they have brought upon us. These misfortunes have followed each other in rapid succession, and the efforts of patriotism have proved unavailing to stay their progress, or prevent their recurrence. In the spring of 1865 the track of desolating war was visible upon our territory, from the mountains to the seaboard, and every interest was in a state of prostration. In the midst ot ruined fortunes and desolated homesteads, our people, inspired by the memo ry or former glories, and with the hope of better days, gradually rallied from their lall, and ap plied themselves w-ith singular energy to the peaceful work of rebuilding the waste places, and re-producing that Georgia which ere while had shone so brightly in the constellation of States. They accepted in good faith the results of the war ; the paramount authority of the General Government was acknowledged, and the equal protection of the Constitution and law's of that Government was confidently expected. With this acknowledgment made, had her expecta tions been realized, Georgia would long since have stood forth the foster mother of every peaceful act, the friend and protector of all her people, both high and low, and the poor of her sister States. The temper of her people has been peaceful and hopeful, and under favorable circumstan ces her former condition of prosperity would have been well-nigh regained. The transision period from military surveillance to local self government has been one of painful and unex pected duration. Every material interest ol the State has languished during this period; the fruits, both ol the patriotism and unjustly of the people, have turned to ashes upon their lips ; fearful misrule has thwarted every good design : strangers aud enemies have been in our high places, and the voice of the people has not been heard in the high carnival of public plunderers gathered from afar like vultures around our bleeding treasury ; these vampires have taken flight at the approach of fresh en voys from the people ; but the work of deple tion and exhaustion has been great. The bow of promise is visible once more, spanning our political horizon, and the day ap proaches when the corrupt administration forced upon us will give place to one inaugura ted by our ow r n people, and responsible alone to them. With such a government w r e may look with confidence to the future for the reali zation of the brightest hopes. With an honest Executive, who will neither rob us nor slander us, we may confidently expect not only a return of material prosperity, but improved relations to the General Government. The prevailing sentiment of consex-vatism aud prudence which characterize the body of our citizens is regard ed as an omen of good and an earnest of the strength of their devotion to the true interests of their country. If left free to move in our constitutional orbit, every human being within the limits of our State w ill he fully protected in the enjoyment ot life, liberty and property, and every constitutional obligation to the General Government promptly discharged. Iu the opinion of yo*ur committee, the people of Georgia are not responsible for any actual or alleged disorders within her limits. Neither the Executive, Legislative nor Judicial De partments of the Government have been prop erly under their control. We feel assured that Georgia can and will protect all of her citizens of every race and color, and, if unmolested by further reconstruction, will do so at far less cost and far more efficiently than can be done by the military arm : Therefore resolved Ist, That the people of the State are not responsible for the w-rongs, spec ulations and frauds which have characterized tho administration of the State Government during the past three years. They did not choose the men who had been in power and who have plundered them of millions of dollars. They are the vietims of those men, but have never been their constituents. Resolved 2d, That the weakness and ignorance of some of the prosecuting and judicial officers of this State, with the shocking abuse of the pardoning power, have been and still are the principal causes of the disorders and violation of law and order which have brought so much reproach upon our beloved State. Resolved 3d, That in the opinion of this body one only sure plan of restoring peace and order in this State is to place in positions of power and trust men of integrity, ability and courage and those possessing the confidence of our peo ple. Resolved 4th, That in all countries where the common law prevails, the true conservators of' the peace, are the Judicial tribunals of the country, and that military rule is inimical to the spirit of all free institutions. Resolved sth, That w-e congratulate our people upon their comparative exemption in the past from military interference in the conduct of their civil affairs, and welcome the prospective dawn of a bright era of honest, faithful and firm administration of the laws.

Dead.—We are pained to chronicle the death of Frank, a son of ex-Gevernor Joseph E. Brown, of this city, which occurred at seven and a half o’clock yesterday evening. Frank Brown was a great sufferer for a long time, yet bore his afflictions with an uncommon degree of patience. He died calmly and quietly, full of Christian hope and resignation. Talented, quiet, polite and courteous to all, Frank was loved and petted by those who knew him. — Atlanta Constitution, 171A. We have received the above intelligence with unfeigned sorrow*, yet without surprise, for Frank had been a subject of great affliction from his childhood. lie was born in the early part of the year 1853, and was consequently about 18 years of age. We have often admired his independent character, his great candor, good sense anil inimitable wit He was what might be called a prodigy, and was certainly the most remarkable youth we ever knew. We tender our heart felt condolence to those who are bereaved and sorrowful, on account of the untimely death of little Frank, and hope that all may meet him at last where “ all tears shall be w iped away, and where there shall be no more death.” The next session of the South Georgia Con ference will be held at Thomasville, Ga.

THE LATE REV. DR. A. M. LELAND. We »re much affected by the news of the death of the venerable Dr. Leland. He was a great man in his day— oue of the brightest ornaments of the Presbyterian Church—indeed, we might say, of the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints —for he belonged to us all. We made his acquaintance under peculiar circumstances. We preached one Sunday morning at Had drell’s Point, opposite Charleston—in our usual free, extemporaneous style—and on coming down from the pulpit, who should confront us but this venerable, dignified man, whom we had never seen before? We were a little displeased with our friends for not apprising us that the great Dr. Leland was to be one of our auditors ; but perhaps it was as well that they did not. On ex pressing our pleasure at making his ac quaintance, he replied, “I know you well, sir. I know you by the Hymn-Book you have been compiling. If you never do any more work, you have served the Church well, aud will be instrumental in leading the devotions of the Church to the end of time. I have paid much attention to hirnn ology, and do not hesitate to say that you have compiled the best Hymn-book in the world.” We expressed great gratification at his approval, and thanked him for his compliment. “No compliment at all, sir, ” he replied, “it is nothing but the truth.” We earnestly requested him to preach at night. “No, sir, ” said he, “but I shall hear you preach again.” And so he did. His son, Prof. Leland, and others, with whom we were staying, would have it that the sermon at night was far inferior to that in the morning—may be they were right. The Doctor invited us to Columbia, and shortly after we made a visit to that then delightful city. He came to the church in which we preached —that which was aiter ward Shermanized to ashes. We never saw him but once after, and that was during the war, when we revisited Columbia. But alas ! that powerful mind was in an eclipse —he hardly recognized us- His work was done ; though he was not released from the burden of the flesh until a few weeks since. The following beautiful tribute to our glo rified friend, from tlio pen of Dr. Whitefoord Smith, Professor in Wofford College, is cop. ied from the Southern Christian Advocate, Nov. 22. Mu. Editor :—The secular papers of last week announced, in a brief item of a few lines, the death of this venerable and dis tinguished minister. Ihe Presbyterian Church-papers will, I trust, pay a becoming tribute of respect to one who, for so many years, has adorned the doctrine of God our Savior. Though for the last few years of his long life, Dr. Leland has been with drawn from public notice by infirmities and disease, yet there are many still living who can remember him in the palmy days of his activity and power. My recollection of him goes back to early childhood, for his name was a household word in my father’s house. He was the pastor of the first Presbyterian Church in Charleston, in which I was brought up, perhaps more than fifty years ago. In his early ministry he was distin guished for eloquence and learning, and particularly for zeal. Indeed, it runs in my memory that I had often heard, in my young days, of the prayer-meetings held by him in private houses of his members, until the attendance became too lafge for the places of meeting ; and I cannot rid myself of the impression that this zeal for such re ligious exercises was, perhaps, charged up on him as a fault, and may have led to the severance of that pastoral connection. But my knowledge of him was more intimate in after-years, when I was learning the re sponsibility of a pastoral charge, and be was filling the chair he so long adorned in the Theological Seminary at Columbia, South Carolina. Age may have mellowed his character then, but I always found him a kind brother and friend. The peculiar dogmas of Calvinism, which we think so harsh and repugnant, had not obliterated from the mind and heart of Dr. Leland the warmest charities of Christianity. How of ten and how cheerfully did hg fill my pulpit, and how acceptable were his services to my congregation as well as to myself! Fre quently would he be with us in prayer-meet ing, and till this very moment how sweet and earnest seem the tones of that voice in supplication and intercession, as they ap pear to echo now in the distance of years. Sometimes, when I had exhausted myself in the previous services of the day, and felt not strong enough to preach again at night, I would call upon him with the freedom of a child at an hour’s notice, and find him rea dy to perform the work. At times he was subject to great depres sion of spirits, and while under the influ ence he would seem reserved and austere, and those who saw him only in those moods, would form a very unjust estimate of hn character. In person he was very large, and carried himself with great dignity. His presence and mien might be best described by the word, majestic. One who had never heard him. might suppose, when he saw him rise in the pulpit, that his voice would be in keeping with his size and physical ap pearance, and anticipate such tones as we associate with the name, Boanerges- But he would find himself greatly deceived; for he possessed a voice, though of great com pass, sweet, and soft, aud musical. He was one of the most correct and impressive rea ders 1 ever heard, and a delightful singer. His sermons were usually practical and ex perimental, and admirably calculated to do good. During the late war he spent some time in Spartanburg, and generally attended our daily prayer meetings, and often led them to the gratification of the congregation. The last times I saw him were since he was stricken with paralysis. His mind was pe culiarly affected by this visitation, so that he would often call things by wrong names, and even mistake the names of his own children, I was deeply impressed by the last visit it was my privilege to pay him at his own house. He was so altered in ap pearance that I scarcely knew him. I sat with him a short time, and in the course of the interview made some remark upon the sadness of these times, and upon the pre cious comfort es our hope who looked for a better country, even a heavenly. Raising his eyes and hands te heaven, heexlaimed: “ Hlessed hope ! blessed hope ! but for that hope, what would we be ! But O miserable me !” and then burst into tears. Among our older preachers he had warm friends, especially, among them Bishop Ca rers and our beloved W. M. Kennedy and W. A. Gamewell. And, although in years long gone by, he may have engaged in the ological controversy with some of them, he lived long enough to learn and feel how lit tle are the things that divide us, and how strong are the ties that unite us. When I was called to preach the funeral sermon of our much loved Bishop Capers, at his burial in 1855, it was a touching sight to see the ministers of four Churches ac ting as pall-bearers. It seemed to say, Hire our differences end ; beyond the flood we shall all be one. Os that number Dr. Leland was one- Six of the ten have gone to join the company of their sainted brother whom on that day they laid in the tomb. May we all meet in our Father’s house and be acknowledged as his children “in that day.” Whitfoord Smith. Wofford College, Spartanburg, S. C., Nov. 14. —Nashville Christian Advocate. AMNESTY. —The Baltimore Sun’s Washington special, of the 11th, thus refers to Hie amnesty question, now before Congsass : The political disability committee of the Sen ate, at their meeting to-day, decided to report by one majority, and subsequently did report, the House bill of last session, which grants am nesty to all persons except those who were in the army or navy and Congress of the United States, and left the same to join the Confedera cy. If this bill should pass the Senate in this shape, an effort will be made in the house to substitute universal amnesty and enact it into a law before the holiday recess. The feeling in the House in favor of amnesty is certainly much stronger tbaD it was when it passed the bill last spring, which it was reported in the Senate to day.

We intend to prepare the youth who may be entrusted to our charge, for'all the walks, either of private or of public life ; and whilst we are imparting that knowledge, and those scientific principles which will enable them to take a nigh and distinguished stand among their fel low-men, we will also instruct them in that higher knowledge and moral culture, which alone can elevate man for that sphere which God intended him to fill. This Institution will consist of Male and Fe male scholars, giving girls here a chance to prepare themselves either for teachers or for business stations in life, thus enabling them to make an independent living. The tuition will be from S2OO to SSOO per month, according to grade, payable monthly. The government of this institution will be mud, but firm. As order is the first law of na ture, so children must, and will, be gover*ed, that are entrusted to our care. Large boys and girls will be put upon their parole of honor, and if they do, at any time, violate the rules of the institution, they mast immediately relorm, or else retire from the Institution. As no corrupting nor demoralizing influence will be tolerated in this Institution, our rules are simply obedience and hard study ; and if parents or guardians will give us their co-op. eration, they will be sure t« get the worth of their money.
