to postmasters, urging that the name
of the county as well as the State be
put upon all letter and other mail
matter, thereby saving delay, con

it is a vain thing lor you to put

Philadelphia ever will support him.
(Hher reports from other States are to

A rural Rtquibhcan editor in Indi

temptible tool; a sore-headed, dough
faeed, shallow-brained lickspittle; an
officious, impudent, indolent barba-
rian ; a foolish, falsifying, fawning
sycophant; an obscene, vulgar, sland
erous imbecile; an unrefined, ill
nnumered, untutored whelp; a sour,
scummy, seething mass of corruption;
a licentious, demented, sensual beast;
and dirty, mangy, sickening cur.
Good-bye, you detested bloat!”
Here’s a joke about Reed and his
confrere Bullock, which we find in
the Jacksonville Courier: A medical |
aquaintanoe of ours, who, by the 1
way, has never withdrawn his name
from the list of members of the “ Dry
Joker’s Club,” was asked yesterday
w hat had become of Governor Reed.
“Gone into the cattle business,”
was the somewhat caustic reply.
“ You don’t say so,” retorted the
querist, “my dear fellow, please
explain yourself.”
“ Street rumor says,” remarked the
wag “ that he is now employed by
the State of Georgia, to hunt up a
lost Bullock.”
Foster BLoi>GETT.--This notorious
individual has disappeared! He is
gone—no one know's where. It was
understood lately in certain quarters
that he was at home sick ; but a few'
days ago, some gentlemen, who had
important bus incus with him, visited
his house to see him and found he
was not there. We are of the opin
ioon that he has not much confidence
in that pardon.— Atlanta Sun, Feb.
20 th.
We are surprised that any one,
much leas an editor of a public jour
nal, should object to the publication
of religions articles in political papers.
There are many anil obvious reasons
why it is not only proper to do so,
but almost a necessity and certainly
a duty. A large number of subscrib
ers prefer such articles to any others,
and the good they are calculated to
do, and which they really effect, ought
to be prized and heartily endorsed by
every man who has at heart the true
interest of the people. They certain
ly are not so frequent as to interfere
with the current news of the day, or
other matters of general interest to
the community, and a timely article
of this sort is not only acceptable to a
large majority of readers, but forms
a delightful matter of reflection and
information to many who inightqxjs
sibly not be so instructed in any other
way. We have been led to making
these remarks from a local article
contained in the Columbus Enquirer,
of the 10th inst. And we here take
occasion to say to the editor of that
department of that paj»er, that if his
r iJhiou- anii-i." ar- as acceptable to
all others as they are to us, that lie
has every encouragement to their
continuance. The interests of his
pajier are doubtless enhanced by
their publication, and in the decided
moral and religious influence which
they exert, he has and will have his
reward. We always read them and
with profit aa.l pleasure, and hope
that they may from time to time
appear in his paper as heretofore.
Objectors can and will be
found to every good work, but the
good man is always content in doing
good.
Goveroor Smith has, we think,
very properly, by his proclamation
rescinding the appointment of Daniel
S. Printup as receiver of the Cherokee
Railroad, refused to recognize the va
lidity of the bonds held by Clews &
Cos. 11 is proclamation appears in this
issue, from which it appears that he
refuses to endorse the fraud which has
been attempted to be perpetrated upon
the State, and relieving as far as he
can do so the State from any obliga
tion by reason of these illegal bonds,
turns over the parties to their remedy,
if they have any, under the laws of
the State. Mr. Printup is directed to
give.possession to the parties who are
entitled to it. Having never had any
actual possession of any of the prop
erty of the road, it seems to us that
he has nothing to turn over to others,
and all that he can do in the premi
ses is simply to retire from his ap
pointment under Conley, anil fall back
on any rights which under the law he
may think he holds as the agent or
attorney of Henry Clews & Cos. As
the ease now stands, the purchasers at
Sheriff’s sale are in possession.
Whether the case will rest there we
are not prepared to say.
ISECK ASD BROWN LOW.
Washington, Feb. 16.—1n the
House Beck made a personal explana
tion, answering Brown low, who at
tacked him by a written speech in the
Senate.
Beck reviewed the history of Ten
nessee during Brownlow’s Governor
ship, showing that Brownlow made
it a pandemonium.
He was repeatedly interrupted by
points of order, but Speaker Blaine,
supported by Banks, ruled favorably.
in the course of his speech Beck
said: “ What I have said about a
pandemonium in Tennessee, I say
about all the other Southern States,
and a good deal more about some of
them. One man, Davis of Texas, was
looking me in the face when I said it.
I said more against Gov. Bullock, of
Georgia, who sat by my side; anil
they are not all cripples, nor all imbe
ciles. I have never told a lie, and I
am prepared to prove every fact I
have stated here or elsewhere. They
thought they would put up a man to
speak against me, of whom they eoulil
say, he is a cripple; that he cannot
read; that he can’t write: that he
can’t walk—and they shield them
selves behind him. They are not
all cripples—all the rest of them can
walk. 1 will prove what I have said
against every one of them ; and it is
because they know that I will do it—
it is because Reed of Florida, Scott of
South Carolina, Davis of Texas, and
all of them, know that I will prove it
—they know that I have been promi
nent in getting up a report, which
will be before the country in less than
a week—that they are trying to black
en me, so that when people take up
the report and read it, they may say,
‘Oh ! it is that fellow Beck, who was
a negro driver, that says this.’ That
is their game—that is the reason why
they have selected a poor old inibe-
cile to attack me.”
Disavowing any disrespect to the
Senate, and quoting from its more
"lorious traditions. Beck concluded by
stating that “he had not said any
thing to reflect on the Senate; but
when he saw vultures setting in the
nest of the eagle, and baboons taking
the place of the lion, he protested
against the outrage. Ho w;anted to
keen the Senate pure and lngh-mind
ed: he wanted to see the States repre
sented by honorable men—but not by
men who forced themselves in there
at the point of the bayonet, and by
fraud, corruption, chicanery, or ostra
cism.”
In the Senate Mr. Brownlow made
o personal explanation m reply to Mr.
Beck’s statement in the House, that
he Brownlow, while Governor of
Tennessee, made that State a pa™£
monium; that he and ) and
struetion Governors Y
despised by the people, and seemed
to tinfl on refuse from prison except
|in.to 6 Ke Ug
! by saving that there was a time when
Mr. Bock would not have dared to put
this insult upon him. lest he snouia
take Beck’s overseer’s whip from his
hand, and lay it over his hack, lit

Messrs. Editors : Newspapers,
whilst they are luxuries to the people
at large, are necessities to the invalid.
I felt that way to-day, when, after
being shut in from the outside world
for nearly a week, I was handed the
Standard & Express, both to
gether, damp and fresh.
I like the Standard & Express,
not so much lieeause it is edited by
so many worthy gentlemen, but be
cause it is our paper, got up in our
town, and tells me about our people.
It is decidedly the best weekly I
take, which Ls not to be wondered at,
as one or two of the Editors are very
smart, three or four of them good
preachers, and the rest all honest
men. Why, the editorial on the
outside of the paper, about “ Perkins’
Toothache,” is worth the subscription
price.
But what is the matter with our
worthy Local ? He writes wrathy
about that new-sense he has been in
haling. He mast have composed
that article whilst sitting on a guano
bag, and the effluvia, permeating en
tirely through him, he was compell
ed to rush to his sanctum, and fling
it off, in a paragraph which makes
that part of the paper smell badly.
Please don’t. As one farmer appeal
ing to another farmer, I ask you not
to do so any more. It is too late. If
you liad written so a few weeks ago,
the thing never w r ould have come
here. Now, it is out of the factories
of these rich manipulators of dirt
and filth, and every bag there belong
to some poor tiller of the soil, who
has invested his all, (i. e. his credit)
in it.
Don’t take it away, unless some of
it belongs to you. “ Darby’s Pro
phylactic” would make it stink
w r orse. The application of “wood
and fire” is dangerous experiment,
unless applied in proper places.
I sympathize with you in your an
tipathy to unpleasant smells. The
fact is, it is human nature to dislike
a stink. * * * * \* *
Your remedy, is not to go about it.
Don’t go, just to see if it is still\here.
And when you are obliged tA go,
stop up both nostrils, and keep your
mouth shut perfectly tight, and my
word for it, you will not smell anV
thing disagreeable. Oartersville i.A
the depot for a largo and populous
country, and it owes its prosperity to
that fact. Some of the farmers live
at a great distance, and the roads are
muddy, and it keeps on a raining.
Bear with the poor farmers. If your
lands are so rich as not to need it,
others may have poor acres, that
cannot yield anything without it.
Why, if I did not have to pay for it.
I would like a pint applied to every
square foot of my farm; and if it did
not hurt the guano, I am sure it
would not hurt the land.
The manufacture of commercial
manures has become an institution
in the land. There is no doubt a
great profit in it, or they would not
be able to pay for the car loads of
printed matter they send out every
year. Their success in selling it is a
triumph to printer’s ink. A great
majority of them are arrant hum
bugs, but then there is no law in the
land compelling anyone to buy.
For my part, I wish not a pound
had ever been brought into this coun
try 2 . But it is here, and the planters
Will buy it, although they know that
the more cotton is made, by so much
will the price decline. My crop does
not seriously effect the Liverpool
market, but a failure to produce it,
interferes seriously with my pock
et. My rule is to make and apply
all the domestic fertilizers I can. I
generally can take care of from four
to five acres, Now, what is to be
come of the balance of my patch ?
If I do not apply some stimulant,
my work would be comparatively
thrown away.
Shortly after the war, I planted
twelve acres without any kind of ma
nure, and I made three bales. That
came so near breaking me that I re
duced my patch, (using the same
field,) to eight acres. I manured it
with half a ton of commercial, and
all the barn-yard manure I could
scrape up. The yield was eight
bales, averaging five hundred pounds.
Last year I got greedy again, and
cultivated the whole fourteen acres,
using the same quantity of manure I
did on the eight acres. I made ten
bales averaging five hundred pounds.
I intend this year to cultivate the
fourteen acres again. I have already
bought one ton of Dickson’s Com
pound. I have succeeded in making
more horse lot manure than I have
done since the war, and I intend,
D. V., to make twelve bales, for
which I don’t expect to get as mueh
as I did for ten last year, and that is
the reason I have to make a little
more. As this article has assumed
an agricultural turn, and I remember
that I am one of the delegates to rep
resent Bartow, in the approaching
convention to assemble in Savannah;
and besides the honor, we have free
tickets on the railroads, “ I will rise
to explain,” that I do not make a
bale of cotton at the expense of my
provision crop. Living in this beau
tiful, grain growing country, I would
feel like a humbug if I had to take
the little money I make from my
cotton to purchase provisions. I
make enough corn, wheat, oats, fod
der, clover hay, so as to keep my
stock fat, and raise hogs enough to
furnish the place with plenty of
meat. I have good cows, and plenty
to winter them on. My turnip crop
will do that alone. My farm con
sists of two hundred acres of poor
land, but I have never allowed any
of my stock to run outside of my en
closure, since the war. But for all
this bragging I confess that money is
scarce with me, and I am poor as all
who work for a living and try to do
right, generally are.
In conclusion, myjadvice is, to farm
ers, that if they have any money
to spare, after paying all their debts,
an investment in a good article of
guano is a safe one. The only way
to select the compound is to purchase
from anew company the first and
second years, but quit them as soon
as they make a reputation, for then
they will certainly cheat you.
And lastly—let me beg of one and
all not to make a fuss about the
guano at the depot. And do not let
any one, by making a big to do about
it try to make people believe that he
has a better smell than his neighbors.
If there is any one who really can’t
-ffimd it, let him procure a handful of
it and mix a little good ashes with
it and then put the compound loose
in his hat, just before putting it on,
l" d it will be all right with him ever
Awards.

WHY I WORK.
Cartersvii.le, Feb. 19,1872.
Work k no dishonor, and laziness
is no credit, to any one. It is good to
have good wages, but half par is bet
ter than nothing, and working for
nothing is better than idleness and
vice. There Ls no true manhood
without independence. He whose
individuality is swallowed up by
fashion, folly, or society, has lost that
which he may never regain and
without which his life must be a vain
one. He who restrains himself from
luxury*, may help others in necessity.
He who helps others, may look to
God to help him. Difficulties are
placed in our way that we may over
come them, and pass through con
flicts to victory and through victories.
Pride goes before destruction, but
honor and nobleness and independ
ence of soul are approved of God and
are profitable to mankind—now tell
me why you do nothing. H.
Rl-KLIX ARRESTS—ANOTHER HIGU
HAIVDKI) OUTRAGE.
Last Thursday night ami Friday,
Dr. E. H. Richardson, Charles Bunn,
James Crocker, Thomas Crocker,
John W. Crocker, Geo. Mobley,
Thomas Davis, and Waits, of
Polk county*, were arrested at their
homes by the Deputy United States
Marshal, and brought to this city.
This was at the instance of one Mas
tin Allred, of that county, who has
twice been indicted for hog-stealing,
and once for perjury—the latter case
now pending before the Superior
Court of that county.
Allred procured these arrests, no
doubt, to prevent these jiersons from
testifying against him in this very
peijury (.•use. In the warrant ujgfk
which these parties were arrested
red charges that they had assisted m
whipping him in the night, being
disguised as Ku-Klux. He has here
tofore made this charge against these
men before the Grand Jury of‘Polk
county and failed to sustain it. When
brought to trial the men proved posi
tively that they were not guilty* of the
alleged whipping, whereupon the
Grand Jury preferred a charge of per
jury against him, upon which he
will, no doubt, be convicted whenev
er he can be brought to trial.
These men ail appeared before
United States Commissioner, W. B.
Smith, y*esterday*, but Allred did not
put in an appearance. They are to
have a hearing to-morrow* if Allred
appears. All of them, except the first
three, are in jail. They are all re
spectable men, who attend to their
own business and interfere with no
one.
i Such outrages are perpetrated un
\ier the Grant Radical Ku-Klux Law
of Congress. —Atlanta Man, 18th,
The examination occupied the en
tire\afternoon and much of the even
ing, and resulted in the discharge of
the following prisoners, viz: Dr. E.
H. Richardson, Charles Bunn, John
Crocker, Thomas Crocker, Alfred
Waits. These w*ere dismissed at the
instance of the prosecution for want
of evidence. The others, Jas. Crock
er, Win. Crocker, Thomas Davis and
George held for further
examination.
APRO C L>M ATION.
GEORGIA^
By James M. Smith, Governor of said State.
WHEREAS, On the 2Sth day of December, in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight hun
dred and seventy-one, tiic Hon- Benjamin Con
ley, then exercising the executive powers of
the Government, issued his proclamation mak
ing known, in substance, that upon the peti
tion of Henry Clews and Theodore Eowler, of
the city of New York, bankers, and partners
using the linn name and style of Henry Clews
& Cos., he had seized, and did thereby seize, and
take possession, for and in behalf of the State,
of the Cherokee Railroad, formerly the Carters
ville and Van W*ert Railroad, with all the 1
property of the said Cherokee Railroad Com
pany, formerly the Cartersville and Van Wert
Railroad Company, and that ho did thereby, as
Governor of this State, place the same in charge t
of Daniel S. Printup. Esquire, of Rome, Geor
gia, as agent of the State of Georgia, with full
power and authority, as such agent of the
State, to take into possession ail the property
aforesaid of the said Cherokee Railroad
Company, to control and manage the same in
conformity with the prayer of the said Henry
Clews & Cos., and in accordance with the pro
visions of an Act entitled “An Act to loan the.
credit of the State to the Cartersville and Van 1
Wert Railroad Company,” approved March 12,
1860 ; ami that payment might be made—after
discharging laborers’liens—of the sum of six
tliousun and one hundred and twenty-five dollars,
semi-annual interest, due September 1,1870, on
one hundred and seventy-fivefbonds of the said
Cartersvillc and Van Wert Railroad Company,
numbered from one (1) to one hundred and sev
enty-live (175) inclusive, each lor one thousand
dollars, with interest coupons attached, paya
ble semi-annually, on the lirst day of March
and the first day of September in each year, at
the rate of seven per cent, per annum, and
which bonds the said Henry Clews &Cos. aver
red in their said petition were owned and held
by them, and issued to cover the first fourteen
miles of said Railroad, and that each had en
dorsed thereon the guarranty of the State of
Georgia for the payment of the principal and
and interest thereof, in accordance with the
provisions of the Act entitled “ Au Act to loan
the credit of the State to the Cartersville and
Van Wert Railroad Company,” approved -
March 12,1869 ;
And whereas, The Constitution of this State
iuhlbits the granting or loaning ol the credit of
the State to aid any Company in which thero is
not already an equal amount invested by pri
vate persons ;
And whereas, also, The Act entitled “ An Act
to loan the credit ol the State to the Carters
ville and Van Wert Railroad Company,” ap
proved March 12, 1869, gave power to the Gov
ernor, in behalf of the State, to endorse the
guaranty of the State on the bonds of said Com
pany only when and as sections, each of five
consecutive miles, commencing at Cartersville,
had been completed and put in running order,
and then only to the extent of twelve thousand
five hundred dollars per mile of the sections so
completed and in running order;
And whereas, It appears from reliable infor
mation received by me, that at the time the
guaranty of the State was indorsed by Rufus B.
Bullock, late Governor, upon the one hundred
and seventy-five bonds aforesaid for the pur
pose of loaning the credit of the State to.aid the
said Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad Com
pany to the extent of $175,000, not so much even
as two thousand dollars had been invested in
the said Company by private persons; and that
not so much as one section of five miles of said
Railroad had been completed and put in run
ning order by said Company; and that the sig
nature of said Henry Clews as Treasurer of said
Company appears on the face of the said bonds,
whereby he stands charged with notice of the
illegal and unauthorized indorsement afore
said.
And whereas, The said indorsements of guar
anty made on the said bonds as aforesaid were
made without authority of law, and are in no
wise the act or deed of the State of Georgia,
and there being, in my opinion, no good and
sufficient reason for allowing the said Daniel S.
Printup to continue to have or exercise the
powers ol Agent of the State, conferred upon
him as aforesaid in the proclamation of the lion.
Benjamin Conley:
Now, therefore, I, James M. Smith, Governor
of said State, do issue this, my Proclamation,
making known that I have this day revoked
and annulled the power and authority confer
red upon the said Daniel S. Printup under the
proclamation issued by the Hon. Benjamin
Conley as aforesaid, and that the said Daniel S.
Printup ha* been ordered and directed to turn
over all property of said Railroad Company of
every kind w hich may have come into his pos
session, power or control as Agent of the State
aloresaid, to such person or persons as may be
lawfully entitled to the possession of the same;
and that the said Daniel S. Printup shall forth
with dismiss any and all suits, whether in law
or equity, commenced by him as agent afore
said for the recovery or maintaining possession
by him of any property or effects whatever of
said Railroad Company,
